1. Discrimination/Elitism: It's becoming increasingly apparent that these organizations discriminate by race, appearance, ethnicity, class, and obviously, gender. I'm sure you've seen/heard of the incident with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity in Oklahoma in which the members joyful sang racist slurs about how an African American would not be allowed in their chapter. What's worse is that this chant was taught to them - so it's not a recent thing, it's a part of their history. To use a personal anecdote - in my freshman year of college, my roommate decided to rush. During her rushing process I learned all the stereotypes of each sisterhood. "Only bid Alpha Phi if you have straight blonde (maybe a brunette here and there) hair and are smaller than a size 6. Phi Mu? Don't you mean Phi MOO? And if you don't get into any other sorority, Sigma Kappa will always take you." Granted these are examples from the university I attended, but what's sad it that those stereotypes really did manifest themselves on my campus.
2. Sex: I know, I know, sex is rampant on college campuses - hell, health centers hand out free condoms (use with caution). I'm not just talking about consensual sex though, I mean sexual assault. Women are much more likely to be victims of sexual assault by fraternity brothers than anyone else - *300% more to be exact. Numerous studies show anywhere from 70%-90% of campus rapes occur at the hands of fraternity brothers. In fact, 1 in every 5 women in college will be sexually assaulted. That is obscene. Why is this happening? Well some of this has to do with the misogynistic ideologies being engraved in these young men's minds. There have been countless videos of frat brothers marching around chanting "no means yes, yes means anal" or at Yale "We Love Yale Sluts". A number of fraternities have also been reprimanded for hosting websites that share stories of sexual experiences (consensual and not) and often pictures are included. Another reason this is such a problem due to the excess of alcohol available to these students. That brings me to point #3
3. Alcohol: College is the prime time for experimentation - the newfound freedom, the sense of community, the legal drinking age of half of the people on campus. Although alcohol is plentiful outside of the Greek System there is notorious alcohol abuse happening within. *Twice as many Greek students as not, report they have done poorly academically as a result of alcohol consumption. Approximately 20% more Greek women abuse alcohol than non Greek. *A study done by Harvard shows "4 out of 5 fraternity and sorority members are binge drinkers. In comparison, other research suggests 2 out of 5 college students overall are regular binge drinkers." Clearly alcohol is a huge problem. That same freshman roommate I had (the one that decided to rush) commonly partied with her new "sisters". Those same sisters allowed her to drink 22 shots of vodka in less than two hours - her BAC was .4. They then dropped her off at our room and continued partying; clearly alcohol was more important than the well being of a "sister." (The roommate had to go to the hospital to have her stomach pumped that night or else she could have died. This happened twice.)
Those are only 3 of the issues that are rampant in these organizations. The Greek System is causing too much damage among our youth. It needs to go.
*http://www.theguardian.com... (300%)
*http://elitedaily.com... (alcohol)
*https://www.addictioncenter.com... (Harvard study)
And that's not actually hard since for one thing it rather obviously shows that little real research was done. For instance, the Greek system is far more diverse then most would give it credit for. Heck even in the incident with Sigma Alpha Epsilon people are assuming the Oklahoma chapter speaks for the whole house - but it doesn't. There are in fact many black SAE members running around - including places like Missouri and Texas which aren't very well know for their racial inclusion. Heck black members have actually started chapters of SAE.
Furthermore it should be noted that not only are traditionally male houses becoming co-ed, traditionally white houses are becoming more racially inclusive. Some are going full-hog and allowing black females entry. But even without that it should be mentioned that frats and sororities are actually fairly LGBT+ friendly. 64% of gays and 56% of lesbian individuals who pledge have stated themselves as being happy and/or feeling accepted. This shouldn't be too surprising considering Greek Houses are like Hogwarts - generally speaking they're your second family.
Which brings me to the first really big benefit of pledging - you instantly gain a massive support system. Whether it's a foot through the door, being connected to potential mentors, finding someone who can put you up for a while, whatever. These are the people who will help you study, help you brainstorm solutions, and quite simply have your back when push comes to shove. And no that doesn't mean it's all skittles and sunshine and friendship is magic. You're gonna hate some people and not care about others - but like a real family when it comes down to what's important... you stand behind each other.
Now the second point (and the reason I accept the challenge) the completely inaccurate nonsense about sexual assault. Yes - nonsense... as shown by that 1 in 5 statistic that even the creators of the study it's snatched from state is being used all kinds of wrong. As per the researchers - that number is not nationally representative, should never be used as an estimate of sexual assault, and only presents statistically meaningful information for the senior undergraduate women at two universities where the data was collected.
In fact, they go on to say that the number isn't even about rape as in unwanted penetration, but instead includes sexual assault like kissing and groping along with sexual penetration. If it was only rape it'd be 1 in 7 for their studied populations. According to the Bureau of Justice the real number is something like 1 in 41 seeing as only 2.4 percent of college women will be assaulted over 4 years. So right off the bat the point being made is factually incorrect and horribly biased due to false information.
The more so as it has been shown by Loyola University New Orleans that hyper-masculinity is the predictor of sexual aggression for all men except in frats. And the reason given is that frats have mandatory sexual consent, sexual assault, physical assault, and alcohol abuse classes for their members. And that's not even counting the sheer number of chapters, and alumni who simply wouldn't stand for this. Do you realize that all but two US presidents have been in frats since 1825? Or that the first woman astronaut and the first woman senator were both in sororities? 85 percent of the judges who have sat as Supreme Court Justices were pledges? Do you really think these types of people would allow themselves to be smeared by association? No. Does that mean frat boys don't rape? No. Does that mean they are all raping monsters? Heck no - and any amount of actual thought and research would show that.
That said Greek life does encourage poor life decisions - like excessive drinking and drug use and promiscuity among both males and females. That said overall there isn't really that big a difference in health between non-Greeks and Greeks. In fact, Greeks actually get more sleep - probably because they're sleeping off the liquor. That said there is a serious difference in things like GPA, community service, and success between Greeks and Independents. Greeks tend to have higher GPAs as a group then Independents as well as higher GPAs as individuals. 71% of Greeks will remained enrolled and graduate compared to 50% of Independents. In the last year alone over 7 million dollars and 850,000 hours were given to charitable causes via the Greek system.
Actually this brings up a very, very, very important point - colleges need endowments to function. Do you know who provides the most in endowments? That's right! Greek alumni give something like 75% of all college and university donations making them the largest group of lifetime donors. Moreover they give 4 times as much as non-Greeks. And I can tell you as someone who majored in science... that stuff makes an awful big difference in terms of educational standards. Speaking of standards - 1 in 8 college students lives in a Greek house saving colleges an estimated $3 billion in the cost of owning/maintaining student housing.
So what am I trying to say? The Greek system is not perfect, neither however is it a repository of evil. Some chapters are awful, some chapters are awesome, and most chapters are somewhere in the middle. That said the Greek system has it's uses: it provides colleges with the funds to function, it provides a great deal of charitable aid, it is a great form of networking and socialization for individuals, and without the Greek System there would be no North American Food Drive which provides food for local families in need. There is far more good here then bad - all it takes is a lack of bias and some actual research.
Ever heard of "Rush Boobs"? Frats all across the country encourage and sometimes require their pledges to ask women to take their tops off and write "Rush *insert frat name here*". "Rush boobs" is a prime example of the common frat boy objectification of women. (not exclusive to frats, I understand)
There have been countless cases nationwide of frat boys taking advantage of women and being encouraged by brothers to do so. At Georgia Tech in 2013 there was a frat-wide email sent out to brothers about "luring your rapebait", which explained how to find a victim, weaken them with alcohol and take advantage of them. *A frat chapter at the University of Vermont was closed after the frat brothers surveyed each other on whom they would rape. A frat brother at the SAE chapter at George Mason openly admitted that there was a sexual assault problem within their chapter and at the university as a whole. These aren"t isolated incidents either, cases have been coming to light on campuses across the country. And clearly this isn"t just a non-Greek"s biased opinion - Greek members have acknowledged the issue themselves.
There was even a survey completed in the late 1980"s about male peer support in regards to violence against women. It was modified in the 90"s and again in 2013, all saying the same thing. These men are encouraging one another in these activities. And believe me, I know that this isn"t every frat, but these fraternities are indeed being used as sexual assault opportunities.
Crime is said to be comprised of two things : motive and opportunity. Clearly the boys that are committing these sex crimes, even if it is "just a kiss or grope" have the motive, but why provide them with the opportunity? I"m not saying that they wouldn"t find parties elsewhere and potentially do the same damage, I"m not that naive, but I"m sure it would limit the assault numbers by a dramatic amount.
You brought up the point about all but 2 presidents were member of fraternities. I hope I"m not the first one to tell you this, but that statistics simply isn"t true."A quick look at the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) web-site points out the truth that "At this date 44% of U.S. Presidents have held fraternity membership." I would check your source again.
But although not every president has been part of a Greek community, there are a shocking amount of powerful men and women that have. I think the fact the a large number of United States Senators, Congressmen, Fortune 500 CEOs and even a few past Presidents being frat members speaks more about elitism of fraternities and their alumni. According to Cornell University, only 2% of America"s population is involved in fraternities yet 80% of Fortune 500 executives, 76% of U.S. senators and congressmen, and 85% of Supreme Court justices have been frat men. Look at those odds and the opportunities those lucky bastards were given.
These men/women are often getting jobs and promotions from former fraternity/sorority alumni, and if that"s not nepotism, what is? I mean frats/sororities are "families" right? Now, I"m not saying that all of these people aren"t qualified for the jobs they receive, but they do seem to be getting an unfair advantage to non Greeks. I"m also not trying to say that the Greek system causes nepotism, but they definitely encourage it.
And the fact these men and women have to pay hundreds and often thousands of dollars to be a part of these organizations is slightly absurd and excludes a good portion of college attendees. I"ve heard "you pay for any organization you join", which is slightly ridiculous if you ask me. There are a plethora of organizations, social, athletic, and academic that don"t require payment, and if they do - it"s either optional or not thousands of dollars.
The GPA argument is a common argument; however, I encourage you to look deeper into the statistics university Greeks are dishing out. (I also encourage you to read this article to give a little background understanding - http://www.dailyemerald.com... ) Basically the GPA statistics given are often averaged between Greek men and women. Women typically carry the higher GPA - sorry guys. The ratio of women to men in Greek life is also generally higher than non Greek. So when you average the GPA"s it looks like Greek GPAs are higher because more women = more high GPAs for the average, but really, more often than not, Greek and non Greek GPAs are practically the same. So I don"t really buy that my 3.94 would have been a 4.0 had I rushed.
The main problem I have with the charity argument is this: You don"t have to be Greek to raise money. I"m not going to deny that Greeks raise and donate millions of dollars to a variety of charities, but who says you have to be part of a Greek community to do that? At my university non-Greeks raised over a quarter of a million dollars for Riley Hospital one year. That"s awesome! Is it a million dollars? No. But it helps. The other problem I have, which also happens to be a flaw in my defense, is that this charity work is mandatory. In all honesty, if there were no Greek organizations to mandate how much community service is done, these students probably wouldn"t donate their time or money, which sucks. Although Greeks put on facade of service, I don"t think there are actually that many members passionate about charity work. (That is solely opinion and conjecture).
The idea that overall difference in health and consumption isn"t significant is just wrong. I would argue that 20% is most definitely significant. Come to think of it 20% is also 1 in 5, and I bet those 20% of women who were sexually assaulted by frat boys would agree that it is indeed significant. And I"m glad they get sleep, I definitely envy them in that regard. But is a refreshing amount of sleep a worthy trade off for the liver and kidney problems they"ll potentially face for the rest of their lives?
I understand that Greek alumni give a large portion of donations received by universities, but I don"t believe it"s 75%. My research shows the highest number any university received from alumni as a whole was about 65%, but that was not a common occurrence. So maybe 75% of that 65%. However, I get that that is still a significant amount. But it is also true that those who receive financial aids and loans are less likely to donate after graduation. What connection does that have? Those that can afford to participate in Greek life are already more likely to donate than those who cannot. Just food for thought. And if there were no more Greek communities, you must be under the assumption that alumni who may have been involved in the Greek system simply wouldn't give back or those that were, would just stop giving. I have a hard time believing that.
I'm not trying to say that there are no redeeming qualities about the Greek System, nor am I saying that every person or every chapter is bad. But the cons most definitely outweigh the pros here. Just because some good things are happening, doesn"t mean the overall system is good.
It doesn't matter if you have the best intentions if you cause more harm going forward then you present as solving - Prohibition led to both the rise of the Mafia and organized crime as well as the FBI (which has a lot of good and bad in it) and in the end alcohol ended up remaining a serious problem even now. The Quakers thought somber isolation would help prisoners, but it turns out isolation is more of an extreme punishment.
Destroying Greek life won't make sexual violence on campus disappear nor will it fix the mess hysteria like this is creating on campus. It will however remove a lot of endowments, it will make things harder for certain groups with already large disadvantages (like blacks and women), and it will remove a large amount of charity (26+ million dollars and 5 million hours for 2013-2014). That kind of collateral damage is simply not acceptable... especially if it's based off BS statistics and anecdotal stories and 3rd/4th Wave misandry.
So let me break it down into simple terms:
1.) Using numbers like "frat guys are 300% times more likely to rape" or "1 in 5 female college students will be raped" is just as harmful as saying "vaccines cause autism". Because they all come from either deciding on a verdict and working toward proving it or they come from falsify/manufacturing evidence.
The "300%" number comes from John Foubert and actually the real numbers are 8% vs 2.5% with men ranging in age from 18 to 70... Do you see the problem there? And also this data comes from one university with a very abnormal student subset. Making it statistically worthless.
And that's not even taking into consideration that women of college age who do not attend college are more likely to be raped then college students - but no one is working to protect them in the same way. That seems more discriminatory then the joining eligibility for a "social club".
2.) There have not been countless stories of frat boys taking advantage of women. Within the last five years there have been several possible stories - however there have also been several stories about women lying. The most infamous of those right now is the Rolling Stone story which has amongst other things ruined the life of a female dean painted to look like an uncaring monster.
There is also the story of the Duke Lacrosse team. There is the story surrounding "Mattress Girl". There are the multiple stories of young men being railroaded for sexual assault following consensual sex - despite having witnesses, being drunk, text messages, and other things. And that's ignoring how Title IX is being used to bullied schools into unfortunate practices that are making things worst.
3.) Which brings me to my next point - this hysteria solves nothing and leads to many problems. For one thing the police are not being involved - and that has led to at least one case of a serial rapist finally murdering two victims and possibly a third after raping them. He'd already been expelled from two other colleges for rape - and no he wasn't in a frat.
In fact many young many who have never even thought of rushing are being screwed over by the same wave of panic that is demonizing frats like previous waves have demonized rock music, video games, and comics. And again that's part of the collateral damage that acting from a point of self-righteous ignorance comes from. Willful ignorance at that considering somehow women have enough agency not to be "objectified", but are so weak that having anything to drink makes them incapable of consent - even though males are expected to be objective even at black-out levels of drunk.
4.) And that's my fourth point - there is a chasm of difference between "victim-blaming" and "self-responsibility". If a girl agrees to write the name of a frat on her chest how is that a point against frats? Doesn't she have the right to do that? Is Miley Cyrus not allowed to twerk and dance around mostly naked? Do you disagree with Jessica Valenti's endorsement of so-called "Slut Walks"?
I mean if a girl chooses to have sex with a guy and later comes to regret it that should not result in the guy being labeled a rapist. And yet that is happening. And diffusing the concept of consent into effectively a catch-22 is also happening and the collateral of that is due process and a fair trial which is not acceptable.
And no that doesn't mean rape on campus doesn't happen - but 80% of rapes happen between two people who know each other. Stranger rape is not common, and that's half the problem with blaming frats, because only 2% of the population is affiliated with frats... so how are they possibly causing 90% of the problem? And why should that affect sororities?
5.) The numbers don't make sense and the logic is lacking - campus crime has been dropping since the 80s. Only rape is rising, but the definition for rape is changing to include everything. For instance, this is from Yale:
"Yale"s definition of consent reflects the University"s high expectations and permits discipline for behavior that does not meet a criminal standard may find that an encounter took place without coercion, force, or threat of force (criteria often associated with the term "rape") but still deem it to have lacked the unambiguous ongoing agreement that constitutes consent under the Yale standard."
So depending on what "unambiguous agreement" means... some kid might become a de facto sex offender.
I'm running out of characters so let me finish this up:
- Reading for meaning is important: I said "since 1825 all presidents except two".
- Dues are an investment, there are payment plans, and some folks actually get paid to be in a frat.
- The first people to respond to "It's On Us" were frats: "Rock Against Rape", 21 Fraternities at IU signed a written pledge to take a stand against sexual assault, etc.
- Re: 65% Okay using that number - Say there are 4 colleges in a nonexistent area, the first gets 50 from Greeks and 25 from Independent, second get 100 and 35, third gets 10 and 0, and fourth gets 5 and 30. Overall the Greeks have given 65% of the funds these colleges got even if the individual donations varied.
- You're still using the "1-in-5" stat although its been debunked...
On that point it's obvious that I'm not getting through to you - so I'll leave my resources (from both rounds) and hopefully something will stick. Because massive collateral damage due to moral panic (and the infantilizing of women) is quite simply unacceptable - especially if it means no Greek parties.

Organic shoppers could be greener, new poll reveals
Organic shoppers could be greener, new poll reveals
Just one in five organic Brits use renewable energy to power their home, farm or business, a new survey has revealed.
While almost two thirds (60%) of consumers purchase organic products at least once every month, only 19% of those surveyed have also switched to a green energy supplier, according to research carried out by Good Energy.
The renewable energy company is on a mission to get more people thinking about where their energy and food really comes from as part of its sponsorship of the Soil Association's Organic September, the UK's biggest celebration of organic.
"This year's Organic September promises to be bigger and better than ever before and we're really excited to be part of the action," said Juliet Davenport, chief executive of Good Energy.
"Just like buying organic, switching to Good Energy's 100% renewable electricity and green gas is a simple green step we can all take. By choosing local, natural power for your home, farm or business, along with organic produce, we can create a more sustainable future for our children, our wildlife and, of course, our land and environment."
Helen Browning, chief executive of the Soil Association, commented saying: "It's fantastic to be working with Good Energy again this Organic September – they're a natural partner for the Soil Association.
"Choosing renewable energy and organic is a simple way to reduce our environmental impact and cut our carbon footprint. I switched to 100% renewable electricity in my own home because I like to know where my power comes from as well as where my food comes from."
Thousands of homes, farms and businesses, like organic tea and supplement makers Pukka Herbs, have already made the switch to 100% renewable electricity, helping to fulfil their sustainable goals.
"Our mission has always been to inspire people to think more about protecting the planet. This can mean making small, simple and ethical changes to your lifestyle, just like looking out for the organic logo or switching to a renewable supplier for your energy," says Vicky Murray, Pukka's sustainability manager.
"Switching to 100% renewable electricity played a big part in us becoming certified carbon neutral, which means our tea is now greener than ever before".
Notes to editors:
- Good Energy is sponsoring Organic September for the fourth year running
- For more information on what Good Energy will be doing during the campaign, visit goodenergy.co.uk/organic-september
- Organic September is the UK's celebration of all things organic. Look for the logo this Organic September and you'll not only be helping to protect our vital wildlife and reducing your exposure to potentially harmful pesticides and chemicals - you'll also be helping to support the farmers who work hard to grow our food for generations to come. Follow all the action, find recipes and features at soilassociation.org/organicseptember and by following #OrganicSeptember

By Jeff Neuenschwander / August 13th, 2014
Two years ago at Gamescom, Until Dawn was unveiled as a PS3 horror game. The game, developed by Supermassive Games, was shown from a first-person perspective and used the PlayStation Move controller. Since that time, gamers have been waiting for more while the developers were busy at work.
Now, again at Gamescom, Until Dawn was re-unveiled to the public, this time for the the PS4. However, the console wasn't the only thing that changed. Using suggestions from gamers, Supermassive opted to use the DualShock 4 as the main controller. (It's unclear if PS Move controls will remain in the game.) In addition, the perspective was changed from first-person to third-person.
As for the game itself, Until Dawn features a story by Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick. It stars Hayden Panettiere, Rami Malek and Brett Dalton as part of a group of eight friends who head to the remote Blackwood Pines. Unfortunately, the friends are in more danger than they bargained for, as they must fight to survive.
Check out the trailer for the game below. Also, check out what else happened at Sony's Gamescom conference. And let us know what you think about the new Until Dawn in the comments below.

Cheap vs. Chic
Ok, so I saw the August issue of Preview, and although the subject has been used a gazillion times over (how fab to be the daughter of a Mega star, vero?), I was nevertheless intrigued. She was wearing tights! I found it ironic that the main feature of this issue is "dressing for your shape." Go figure.
I have to admit, the photography is amazing, Marc Nicdao really has it going on. But I don't know, for some reason, KC reminded me of that Jessica Simspon MV where she was in roller blades and had her hair all done up.
TFM: I like K.C., don't get me wrong but whoever styled her for this fashion editorial should be given a good knock on the head. Honey, leggings are not for everyone! Instead of making K.C. look like Madonna or Jessica Simpson, you made her look like Gabby in drag! A great stylist always has to take into consideration the body type of his/her model. Lucky for you, Marc Nicdao was the photographer for this shoot. Otherwise, this could have looked like a cheap poster ad campaign for GAY PRIDE week!
TFD-There is, one woman whom I think can wear absolutely anything. Her physique is perfection and she always looks so glamorous and classy.

Sixt car hire Basel Airport is located in two different parts of the terminal. Customers with an advance booking or those still requiring car rental arrangements will find Sixt, Avis, Europcar, Hertz and National car hire desks in the French sector in hall 1 on level 2.
Sixt Basel Airport can also be found in the Swiss sector, where car hire stations for Sixt, Avis, Europcar and Hertz are located on level 2 in hall 4.
The A35 motorway takes motorists from Basel Airport to Basel and Mulhouse. It takes only 5 minutes by hire car to reach Saint-Louis in France and a 30 minute journey takes drivers to Mulhouse. Basel is a mere 5 minutes' drive by hire car.
Bookings and enquiries can be made in advance by contacting the Sixt team at either one of these websites:
The car hire stations at Basel Airport offer 24 hour pick up and return and Sixt Basel Airport's service desk is open from Mondays to Fridays from 07.00 am to 11.00 pm and on Saturdays from 08.00 am to 10.00 pm. On Sundays the Sixt car rental station is open from 10.00 am to 11.00 pm.
Sixt car hire Basel Airport can supply a large selection from their hire fleet. The popular VW Polo for example, which comes with unlimited mileage or the Nissan Note, Opel Astra, Renault Megane or Fiat Sedici, all of which come with unlimited mileage, third party insurance, winter tyres, premium location airport fee and road tax included in the price. The driver's minimum age requirement is 20 for these smaller cars.
Drivers looking for a little more horse power and style will find cars like the BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series, the Mitsubishi Lancia or Outlander or the Opel Astra Sports Tourer in the Sixt Basel Airport selection.
During the winter Switzerland becomes a snow-covered winter wonderland and winter sports are one of the main attractions that draw thousands of visitors to the country every year. Travelling with ski equipment, snow boards and lots of bulky winter clothes means there has to be more space to transport all these things – and Sixt car hire Basel Airport has just the thing: the Renault Grand Espace, Lancia Grand Voyager or Seat Alhambra can seat up to 7 people. Drivers for these type of vans must be at least 21 years old and must have held their driving licence for at least two full years prior to the rental contract commencing.
For even more space Sixt Basel Airport can supply vehicles like the Ford Transit Bus or the Renault Trafic and the Peugeot Expert vans, which can seat up to 9 passengers.
Medieval Colmar in the Alsace region is a favourite destination with tourists; it only takes 50 minutes by car to visit. Among the highlights are Little Venice, a section of the old medieval part of town that has many small canals, which make it look like a miniature version of its famous Italian counterpart. The Maison des Tetes (literally the House of the Heads) is a lovely Renaissance building that has an unusual decoration of painted faces. The Pfister House is entirely made from wood and is one of the oldest buildings in Colmar.
The Alsace region is not just famous for its fantastic white wines and lovely scenery: the pastries are to die for! Kugelhopf is one of the most famous delicatessen, a wonderfully light cake with raisins and the equally famous Flammekueche is reminiscent of pizza, but has its very distinct twist to the theme!

The Best Man Toast is always a highlight of many wedding receptions. This is an honor but being asked to 'deliver the spoken goods' in such a visible public setting can also make some people feel as though they have been 'put on the spot'. If speaking out in public causes your heart to pound then you should make sure to prepare for your debut ahead of time.
A little practice beforehand is the key to delivering that special, 'and seemingly impromptu' best man toast. Even if you have to refer to a page of notes your delivery can still be refreshingly informal if you just let yourself loosen up as you get ready to let the spotlight shine your way.
Try rehearsing in front of a mirror at home or even record your speech and then listen to how it sounds. There is no need for you to get too worked up if you do not sound as professional and polished as you had hoped. You were asked to give the best man toast because your friendship is something that is highly treasured.
Best Man Toast – Be Yourself
All you need to do is to be yourself and speak from your own heart. Remembering to be yourself is a mantra that you can say beforehand and this should help you ease your anxieties; although it also pays to keep in mind that a little 'practice makes perfect' speeches too.
A few other quick tips could help you get your speech off on the right foot. Okay, for starters you should make certain that everyone has a glass at the ready when you are about to begin the toast. Timing is everything and you do not want to catch everyone off guard when your speech is about to take place.
Just a quick check of those around your table should be sufficient, and you can even have a few of your own friends help you with this task. The glasses of those in attendance may need to be filled prior to the toasting ceremonies. After all the fewer interruptions you have the more at ease you will feel as you toast the happy couple.
Best Man Toast From The Heart
Your "best man toast" should ideally have a feeling of spontaneity but don't be afraid to use a note card if you must. In some instances nerves get the best of a speaker and you could read exactly what you have written. If this should happen try to relax as much as possible and remember that the sentiments are more important than the individual words you are saying out loud. The main consideration to keep in mind is that your toast should always be heartfelt and in good taste. This is not the time to try out that old Andrew Dice Clay routine. If you and the groom experienced some Vegas moments at parties in the past, then let those moments stay in 'Vegas'.
You can certainly inject some humor into the best man toast or you can choose to simply talk about a memory or two that happen to share with the happy couple. Keep it short, wish the bride and groom health and happiness, smile during the toast; and you will find that these things alone will be more than enough to make a good impression on everyone in attendance.
Father of the Bride Speech help is posted here too and help the the Maid of Honor Toast.

Saucony Ride 9 provides a soft and comfortable ride to high-mileage neutral runners. Brooks Ghost 8 provides a comfortable, smooth, and overall soft ride with a touch of stability...
NEW! Saucony Ride 10 vs. Brooks Ghost 9 and Saucony Ride 10 vs. Brooks Ghost 10 and Saucony Ride ISO vs. Brooks Ghost 11
The Saucony Ride 9 and the Brooks Ghost 8 fall in the same category of neutral running shoes for runners who have a normal gait and who do not require stability and support.
The uppers of the Saucony Ride 9 and the Brooks Ghost 8 are very similar in that the midfoot is supported by no-sew overlays.
The overlays tend to be more plentiful in the Saucony Ride 9 than in the Brooks Ghost 8, but both should provide a similar amount of support with the fit of the Saucony Ride 9 being perhaps a bit tighter and closer to the foot.
Similarities continue at the back where both the Brooks Ghost 8 and the Saucony Ride 9 have stitched-on overlays for added support.
The back of the Brooks Ghost 8 is more open than that of the Saucony Ride 9 with less overlays, so the Saucony Ride 9 might provide a tighter fit behind the heel than the Brooks Ghost 8.
The openness of the Brooks Ghost 8 continues in the forefoot where the bunion window is quite open and free of overlays compared to the bunion window of the Saucony Ride 9.
The Brooks Ghost 8 provides additional support through its mesh without actually constricting the foot. This should be good for people with large bunions or wide forefeet.
All in all, while the Saucony Ride 9 is expected to provide an overall closer-to-foot fit, the Brooks Ghost 8 provides enough support in all the right places and may feel a bit more comfortable than the Saucony Ride 9, especially in the forefoot.
Both the Saucony Ride 9 and the Brooks Ghost 8 provide heel-to-toe cushioning through their midsoles but display some differences.
The Saucony Ride 9 comes with a main layer of foam and a top layer of softer foam just under the sockliner. Then under the heel, it has a crash pad to soften you landing. This crash pad runs till the midfoot.
The Brooks Ghost 8 also comes with one layer of foam but does not have an upper layer of softer foam. However, unlike the crash pad of the Saucony Ride 9, the crash pad of the Brooks Ghost 8 runs from under the heel around the lateral side all the way to the front of the shoe.
This allows the Brooks Ghost 8 not only to provide you with a soft landing but also with a smooth transition to toe-off thereafter. This kind of crash pad also increases the stability of the running shoe.
The smoothness of transitions is also determined by the amount of ground contact a shoe provides. And in the case of the Saucony Ride 9 and the Brooks Ghost 8, both running shoes provide a good amount of ground contact, including under the arch.
Running shoe lab tests show that the Saucony Ride 9 is an overall very cushy running shoe. For women, it has way more forefoot cushioning than the Brooks Ghost 8 but an equal amount of heel cushioning.
The Brooks Ghost 8 has above average cushioning in the forefoot but not as much as the Saucony Ride 9 does.
For men, the difference in forefoot cushioning is similar to the difference in the women's versions of the running shoes. However, the Saucony Ride 9 has a bit more heel cushioning than the Brooks Ghost 8 for men.
All in all, if you want a very cushy ride, and especially a very cushy forefoot, the Saucony Ride 9 would be the way to go. However, the Brooks Ghost 8 provides enough cushioning to give you a soft ride without holding you back if you want to go fast.
The rubber outsoles of the two running shoes display a good amount of separation and segmentation for shock absorption and dissipation.
They also both have a good amount of flex grooves in the forefoot with the Saucony Ride 9 having wider flex grooves than the Brooks Ghost 8.
Running shoe lab tests show that both running shoes are quite stiff for both men and women with the Saucony Ride 9 displaying just a tiny bit more flexibility than the Brooks Ghost 8.
The women's version of the Saucony Ride 9 weighs approximately 7.9 oz (224 grams), while the Brooks Ghost 8 weighs approximately 8.5 oz (241 grams).
The men's version of the Saucony Ride 9 weighs about 9.5 oz (269 grams), and the Brooks Ghost 8 for men weighs 10.9 oz (309 grams).
If you are a neutral runner who is looking for a soft ride from a running shoe, you could go with either the Brooks Ghost 8 or the Saucony Ride 9.
The Brooks Ghost 8 is good for runners who are looking for a smooth and somewhat stable ride and who don't want a whole lot of forefoot cushioning.
The Saucony Ride 9 is good for runners who are after an overall very soft, smooth, and comfortable ride and who also want something lighter on their feet.
Note: The weight of a running shoe depends on the size of the running shoe, so any weights mentioned in this review may differ from the weight of the running shoe you choose to wear. Running shoes of the same size were compared for this review.

The FTSE 100 <.FTSE> ended the session 1.1 percent lower at 7,295.39 points, underperforming the broader European market which closed in positive territory.
The Bank of England's policymakers voted to keep rates on hold at a record-low 0.25 percent, and said that the central bank was likely to raise interest rates in the coming months if the economy and price pressures keep growing.
Sterling jumped more than 1 percent, putting pressure on big, international firms such as British American Tobacco (>> British American Tobacco) and Diageo (>> Diageo) which source a large part of their revenues from overseas.
The drop in the pound after Britain voted to leave the European Union last June boosted the FTSE 100, as its dollar-earning constituents received an accounting boost when converting their revenues back to pounds.
Some investors, however, were more cautious on the outlook for rate hikes.
"Given downside risks to global and UK growth as well as to inflation as the impact of sterling depreciation fades over the next few months, I think this hawkish shift will not last," Anna Stupnytska, global economist at Fidelity International, said.
Financials also fell, with HSBC (>> HSBC Holdings) and Barclays (>> Barclays) dropping 1.5 percent and 0.9 percent respectively, while mining stocks saw some sizeable declines as the price of copper slid on the back of disappointing data from China.
Shares in Rio Tinto (>> Rio Tinto), BHP Billiton (>> BHP Billiton Plc), Glencore (>> Glencore) and Anglo American (>> Anglo American) were all down between 2.4 percent to 3.4 percent.
Morrisons (>> Wm Morrison Supermarkets), Britain's No. 4 supermarket, fell about 5 percent after publishing first-half results.
British fashion chain Next (>> Next), however, was a bright spot with a 13 percent surge in its shares after it lifted its guidance, saying that it had managed to cushion the inflationary impact of a weak pound.
"Next remains a well-invested business that in our view has the operational and cost flexibility to deal with structural pressures posed by online, supported by strong and consistent cash generation," analysts at Investec said in a note, reiterating their "buy" rating on the stock.

Outdoor Augmented Reality: Museum at the Market square
For the municipality of Spijkenisse (near Rotterdam, the Netherlands), we have created an app (Museum op de Markt) and a special AR viewer to visualise the old square in the 1950′s and tell stories about the past at the town square. This April the app has been launched for the App store and Google Play (soon). The special Augmented Reality viewer will be installed at the square in May/ June. There will be a festive opening of the square with the viewer and the app in the week of June the 24th.
The Viewer
With the special Augmented Reality Viewer, visitors can watch the square as it is right now, but also what the square looked like in the 1950′s. A special 3D layer will be projected over the normal camera view, this way people can see a blend of the old and recently renewed town square. The buildings at the square have been demolished, only the church remained. The 3D projections show buildings that used to be part of the built environment. There are, of course, houses but also a farm and businesses.
The app
The app is an extension of the viewer. With the app you can learn and see even more of the old square. At the square special tiles are placed with images that visitors can scan using a mobile device with the app. A special guide leads you through all the special places at the square and tells you stories about the hard life in the 1950′s, how the people used to live here, what they did to earn a living, how Spijkenisse as a city became larger and so on. You get an insight at the life on the square and you learn some facts about the town and its people. The houses and artefacts are visualized with special Augmented Reality 3D animation. You can download the app for free for iOS and Android.
With the viewer and the app we realised a unique project that is both informative and entertaining and gives a unique sight in an old square that has changed during time.
Curious? Feel free to contact us to see how we can make augmented reality work for you!

Today the JFTC2 group met and made a number of appointments, most notable was the election of Packy Carty as Chairperson.
"It is an honour to chair this campaign, the work of Tony Catney, Angela Nelson and Gerry Conlon will be hard to follow.
I am completely committed to seeing the campaign for justice for Brendan and John Paul through to a successful conclusion, Being a close friend of both men I am absolutely determined to see this injustice come to an end. I believe everyone who has read the case material sees the obvious miscarriage of justice that has taken place.
The recent Supreme Court decision has not dampened our resolve as a group to continue to fight for justice to be done and be seen to be done.
I call on everyone to help us intensify the justice campaign."

'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' Messy Play Session with Little Bear's Softplay Eastbourne
I keep meaning to sit down and tell you about this fantastic group we went to last week, and YAY after a hectic few days I finally have the time!
Little Bear's Soft Play in Eastbourne recently approached us to attend one of their messy play sessions, and my first thought was there was no way I would be able to cope with two toddlers getting messy and running around but they, and I absolutely loved it!
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you'll already know that one of Clark's favourite things to do is bake. Whether it's biscuits, cakes, gingerbread men or muffins, you name it, he's made it! It's something which he really loves to do, and something which I love helping him with.
Recently I was trawling through baking hashtags on Instagram for some inspiration when I came across some awesome burger cakes on BKD's Instagram account....
We love arts and crafts in this house, and my boys absolutely love to get messy whilst they create their masterpieces! Painting, sticking, drawing and moulding are all regular activities in our house, so when The Creation Station contacted me to see if we'd like to trial one of their classes, with the bonus of no tidying up (!) I couldn't help but say yes!
The Creation Station run award winning arts and crafts sessions and events throughout the UK, and are passionate about nurturing creativity...
Hands up if you've been stuck indoors with a poorly little one?
Us too.. I think we've been homebound for almost three, YES THREE weeks! Fun fact, did you know that when you go from having one baby to two, you welcome twice as many sick bugs flying around..shock horror!
Touch wood everyone will be well for Christmas, and by touch wood I mean I'm seriously considering carrying a stick in my pocket to keep the pesky germs at bay. You're not welcome here!
Anyway, to keep Clark and I somewhat sane in the afternoons whilst Cruise has been sleeping the day away, we've had lots of fun Christmas crafting!
So if you're looking for some inexpensive Christmas craft ideas to keep your toddler entertained, I hope these help!
...Though please don't blame me if they don't!

A 16-year-old Canadian boy, whose family immigrated from Algeria in 2003, has been sentenced to two years in detention by a Canadian court for robbing a convenience store with plans to use the money for a trip to Syria, so he could join the Islamic State.
"The boy, whose name has been withheld because of his age, admitted to robbing a convenience store in 2014, though he denied he planned to use the funds to finance a trip to Syria. He had been reported to the authorities by his own father, who grew concerned after he found a bag with a mask, knife, and money behind the family home," reports Deutsche Welle.
Prosecutors said the haul from the convenience store robbery amounted to about $1,680 U.S. The robbery was perpetrated with a knife. The would-be jihadi was 15 years old at the time and is the youngest person ever brought up on terrorism charges in Canada.
The UK Guardian reported the teen "had also befriended the suspect in last October's killing of a Canadian soldier in a rural Quebec hit and run, days before a gunman shot dead a ceremonial guard in Ottawa and stormed parliament."
Israel National News cited local media reports of expert court testimony that claimed the teenager had "started to renounce radicalism." He is said to have already been incarcerated for some other crime, so his terrorism detention will be served consecutively, followed by a 12-month probation.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Brownwood District Curriculum
The science curriculum at Brownwood Schools helps young students learn how to look at the world around them to see the general aspects of each item. Each year the students learn to look at each object more in-depth until in high school the students use microscopes to look at cells, molecules and what it takes to keep each of these alive. The students learn how to look, with wonder, at each of these things which teaches them to look beyond the surface in whatever they may face in life.
Brownwood Schools introduce students to mathematics at a young age. In kindergarten, students learn about numbers, including how to combine sets of numbers and how to take items away from a set. This is the foundation of working equations. In the next years, they learn how to work more complex problems, including problems dealing with geometry and algebra. Students also can take statistics and other advanced math classes, including Advanced Placement courses.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Auditory Learners
An auditory learner is a child that needs to hear something to learn it. This child loves to tell stories, jokes and talks to himself while learning something new. They may have a hard time writing and following directions that are in writing. They may also ask questions, hums and may be noisy when compared to other children. These children do best when a teacher gives directions orally. If a child is an auditory learner they will benefit from being read aloud to or in reading aloud to someone. A strategy to promote literacy which works well with auditory learners is to have them listen to books-on-tape as they read along; that way they get to hear the tone of the text which aids in comprehension and analysis. They will also need to have directions told to them and will do their best work in a group as they hear others talk. By knowing what an auditory learner is and how to help them, parents help this child succeed.

The Qualities All Creative People Share

Call Us: 0800 000 0000
UK Internet Marketing Training - London, Manchester & Portsmouth
July 22, 2014
Many people ask me why I do the job I do and love it. The answer is very simple, I am an artist who cannot draw a straight line, paint, sing or dance and therefore express my creativity through video production work.
No matter how you look at it videography is a form of creativity and art, from choosing locations to setting up shots, choosing the best clips to edit together and deciding which bedding track will work best. This is all down to the artist whether this be the camera operator, director or editor. So when it comes to choosing your video production company it is vital that you do your research to make sure the company is right for you not only in terms of budget, but also professionalism and style.
Here are a few areas to consider:
You have started researching a video productions company and used the internet as your first port of call and have been overwhelmed with some amazing looking videos with special effects great music and artistic style, but could you see your corporate video sitting up there next to them?
There examples might be great but if it not going to fit with your company image then is this right company for you? If both your ideas are miles apart it will be firstly hard work in the planning and preparation part of the video and could delay you getting the finished product in a reasonable time scale if many changes are required in post-production. Stay away from companies that do not produce the kind of work you are looking for.
Does the company have the experience to make your video exactly what you want? Do they produce good quality work and is there a consistent level of standard across all the videos they have produced? If you are looking for something particular it is good to ask for demonstrations of their previous work in a similar area or field. Keep in mind that just because a one man band videographer owns a camera it doesn't necessarily mean they know how to use it!
Customer Service
With any service you receive you should expect to get the best customer service possible. Firstly before signing on the dotted line make sure you are comfortable with the customer service you have received from the offset. Has the company got back to you when they said they would? Have they researched your company thoroughly to get a good understanding of exactly what it is you want to get from your video? Have they been able to answer any questions with ease and prepared to talk through your entire video and ideas with you?
It is important you have a good relationship with your video production company for the start as this will set your expectation as to what level of care you will receive throughout the whole process.
There are a number of corporate videos out there that all run along the same line, one thing to ask your videographer is what can they do to make your video stand out from the rest. It might be you have seen an exact video that you really like and just want to clone it with your own company captured, but it is certainly worth asking the question. If you don't like what they say then you don't have to go with it but that one small creative difference could give you an advantage over your competition.
Honesty & Trustworthy
From the start you need to have trust in the video production company that you choose and in response they need to be completely honest to you. Find out upfront what the overall price will be and what they are planning to do, the overall timescale when you can expect your project to be completed and make sure there are no additional costs .
Keep these tips all in mind whilst researching a video production company and make sure you feel 100% confident in your choice before agreeing to go ahead. If there is a slight doubt in your mind keep researching until you are confident that this is the right company for you.

Seeking clarity from the ruling alliance over the issues confronting people in all the three regions, JKPCC Chief G.A. Mir accused Govt for failing to ensure safety and security of the people. Praising Narinder Modi for nothing won't address issues. There is a need for taking measures about maintaining integrity and sovereignty of the State, JK PCC Chief G.A. Mir said this while leading a massive protest at Anantnag today. The protest was a part of Akrosh Rally organized by J&K Pradesh Youth Congress against Anti Youth and Wrong Policies of Ruling Alliance across the state and concluded today at Anantnag. Thousands of Youth participated in the rally and protested against Centre and State Govts. Speaking on this occasion PCC Chief G.A. Mir said that praising Narinder Modi for nothing is something like taking orders from RSS and implementing its Communal Agenda in the State by Chief Minister of the State and his party PDP. PCC Chief said. Claiming that people have identified the real face of PDP, PCC Chief disclosed that those who voted for PDP feels as they have been misled by PDP for the sake of coming into the power, for the fact PDP has secured votes to stop BJP for coming into power and BJP did the opposite thing to secure votes in Jammu by misleading people, he said. Expressing serious concern over the rising intolerance in the Country, PCC Chief blamed Modi Govt for giving free hand to disgruntled and anti peace elements damaging communal harmony in the Country, he said. Assuring that Congress Party will defeat any move aiming to divide the State on regional and religious issues, PCC Chief said people of the state are scared of PDP BJP alliance, for the fact, they (people) are not feeling safe under the present dispensation, he said. Describing today's protest as warning to the Ruling Dispensation playing with the emotions of people and the other factors vitiating peace and amity, PCC Chief said that Congress would unmask all those forces and factors harming amity and integrity of the State. he said. PCC Chief lashed out at ruling alliance for failing to address main issues confronting people in the State. He said the ruling alliance has provided an atmosphere of discord to the people, which has alienated them (people) to a great extent, he said. Lashing out at ruling alliance for misleading people, PCC Chief accused Coalition for misleading people on certain issues and creating divide aiming to get benefitted politically, he said. He (G.A. Mir) said PDP has added much weight to the visit of Narinder Modi, but can Chief Minister clarify that the delay in release of relief package and ignorant behavior of Narinder Modi towards the State ? Can Chief Minister clarify the silence of Narinder Modi on rising intolerance in the Country, PCC Chief questioned. Terming Narinder Modi's visit as a high political Drama by PDP BJP Coalition, PCC Chief said the much talked visit is nothing but a mere political gimmick in the name of announcing package. The rally ended up at DC Office Anantnag where PCC Chief accompanied by Senior Party leaders submitted Memorandum to Deputy Commissioner Anantnag registering protest against the anti people and wrong policies of ruling alliance. Among other who participated in the rally included Secretary AICC & I/C IYC Suraj Hegde Former PCC President Peerzada Mohd Syed, Vice President Mohd Anwar Bhat, MLA Gulzar Ahmad Wani, MLA Mohd Amin Bhat, General Secretaries Hilal Ahmad Shah, Surinder Singh Channi, Secretaries, Secretary IYC Uma Shankar Panday, PYC President Pranav Shagotra, Abid Kashmiri, Irfan Naqib, Shaheena Nadaf, Mohd Iqbal Mir, Senior Leader Mohd Abdull Nadaf, Block Presidents and Prominent Workers of the District.

After I googled awhile I've found this pic in colour. They one I first saw was so small and black and white. So yes I have mad googling skills! HAHA. It will come in handy somehow. Ah the jacket makes it look so cool.
It's December, and I've been thinking about the New Years Resolution or whatever that shit is. I tried to change but by half of the year, the old habits starts to kick in. So I'm gonna think one up that I could actually stick with til the end of the year. I still haven't gone to a Sale. My parents said we are on a tight budget so no new clothes. I guess I could cut up my old clothes and have fun with it. Or it could turn out horrible and I look like a beggar. You'll never know if you never try. I've discovered one thing about me thats so consistent in my entire life. I'm Damn LAZY. I mean seriously, I the laziest person I've known. I don't do housework. I don't cook. I do stuff last minute. I am a couch potato.
Oh yeah I've finished The Diari Of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4. That book is so damn funny. So if you want some laughter read it. But it's like the quirky type of humour. It's basiclly about Adrian Mole's life going through parents divorce,teenage angst and love. It's so funny how he randomnly would say" Pandora you are always on my mind" out of no where. It's in a diari form. It's not one of my favourite quirky books because that will be The Curious Incident of The Dog at Night-Time. Now that is amazingly touching and funny. Has been my all time favourite for a long time.
Maybe I ll blog about it later.
