On Nov. 1, 2011, retired Marine Mark Curtis of Chewelah, Washington, went back to school to get the bachelor's degree he's always wanted. Making a good decision even better, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will help pay for his housing – even though he doesn't have to relocate.
Mark is one of the many veterans whose decision to attend an online university now carries the added benefit of eligibility for the VA housing stipend – worth up to $673.50 a month – thanks to recent congressional changes to the Post-9/11 GI Bill®. This includes students at WGU and its state subsidiaries.
"The expanded benefit will allow me to take full advantage of my VA education benefits without having to put my professional career on hold," Mark said.
Mark, a married father of three, is the IT Director for the county he lives in. He makes his home in a small town about an hour outside of Spokane, so attending a physical college wasn't a realistic option. Mark wanted to finish what he started while in the military, when he attended colleges part time at various duty stations, but unfortunately was not able to complete his degree.
When he found WGU Washington, he called the school and also the VA, where he learned that, effective Oct. 1, 2011, attending an online college makes U.S. military veterans eligible for a housing stipend. He immediately decided WGU Washington would be the right fit for him, and he plans to earn his bachelor's degree in IT Management from the school.
The changes in the GI bill apply to non-active-duty students who have served in the military. The monthly stipend is $673.50 for full-time students who fall in the VA's 100% eligibility tier, with a percentage available for veterans with lower eligibilities. WGU students qualify as full-time if they earn 8 competency units (CUs) per term in a graduate degree program or 18 CUs in an undergraduate program.
Mark was impressed by WGU's nationally recognized, accredited online degree programs, which work especially well for veterans, service members, and their families. WGU's programs are designed for adult learners with flexibility and affordability in mind. (Learn more about what makes WGU a military-friendly online university.)
Students progress through their courses by demonstrating competency, not by counting the hours spent sitting in a lecture hall. This approach makes sure WGU graduates know what they need to know succeed in their careers. Six-month terms — rather than semesters — begin at the first of every month, making it easier to accommodate busy schedules. And because WGU's tuition rates are quite modest, veterans will generally be eligible for benefits that more than cover the full cost of tuition, fees, and books.

I found this draft from January 2007. I have no idea if I ever published it.
All students are 9 Korean age, starting second grade in March, very good English speakers and pretty smart kids.
Girl One: Amanda Teacher, do you have to get married?
Me: No.
One: Good. I don't want to get married. [Pause] If you don't get married does that mean you don't have kids?
Me, after thinking for a moment, this is Korea, not America: Yes, usually.
One: Good.
Boy: Unless you have sleepovers with boys.
Me: Right.
Boy: Kissing boys makes babies. [Makes kissy faces at One.]
Girl Two: Not kissing! More than that!
One, to Boy: I wouldn't kiss you anyways!
Me: Good.
One, to Me: But I've had sleepovers with Two. And I've kissed her.
Me: …
Shy Boy: Amanda Teacher, what does 'shut the **** up' mean?
Me, hand flies over Shy's mouth: Where did you learn that?
Shy, muffled: Television.

Junior Research Fellow in Early Modern History
Central European University
Nádor u. 11, room 110
1051 Budapest, Hungary
✉ grusieckit[at]ceu.edu
Tomasz Grusiecki specialises in the study of cultural interactions between east-central Europe and the wider world, focusing on the issues of centre and periphery, cultural liminality, and perceptions of selfhood and alterity. He has published on these subjects in, among others, The Polish Review, Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung, Journal of the History of Collections, and World Art, with further studies forthcoming.
He is currently preparing a book manuscript, tentatively titled Transcultural Commonwealth: Visual and Material Histories of Poland-Lithuania, 1500–1700. This study explores representations of the emerging Polish-Lithuanian political nation, as its otherwise heterogeneous Polish, Ruthenian, Lithuanian and Prussian nobilities found themselves in the midst of searching for a convincing story of their shared origins and place in the world. My book examines how these stories were narrated and disseminated by images and objects of material culture. But while these artefacts acted as signifiers of nativist distinctiveness, they were often appropriated from abroad, particularly the Islamic East. Highlighting practices of mobility, adaptation and cultural confusion, this study aims to demonstrate the exogenous provenance of cultural self-identifications and the artefacts that mediated them. Poland-Lithuania is a useful methodological laboratory in this context precisely because of the way it challenges the theories of nations with distinctive cultures, and suggests instead that the discourse of distinctiveness is itself an outcome of cultural confusion, which substitutes simulacra for reality.
Tomasz's new research project, Warsaw Discovers the World: Re-Imagining the City in the Age of Expansion, 1570–1657, is set to explore an allegedly marginal city as it experienced the effects of an increasingly interconnected world. Focusing on trans-cultural entanglement, this study will allow for a historical re-assessment of Warsaw's neglected role in early globalisation. By concentrating on a city at Europe's eastern periphery, this project aims to expand our framing of early modern globalization beyond western Europe and its numerous colonies and trading posts. This study will thus put to test the binary of colony and metropole, exotic and local, and self and other.
Tomasz is a Research Affiliate in the international project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada: Making Worlds: Art, Materiality and Early Modern Globalisation.
2017 PhD Art History, McGill University
2011 MRes History, European University Institute
2009 MA History of Art, University College London
2008 BA History of Art, University College London
Research interests: central and eastern European art and visual culture, 1500–1700; global art histories; cultural entanglement; cultural confusion; historiography of art and methodologies of art history; art history from below; early modern power dynamics; centres and peripheries; early modern popular culture; collecting; European perceptions of the wider world; urban culture

Joe Viterbo
by Chris on Sep.18, 2010, under bands
This was our second year at the Wickerman Festival. The annual event set in an idyllic location near Kircudbright, not far from Dumfries is great for parents who enjoy music, and people who find T in the Park a little 'full-on'.
Whilst enjoying the sounds of The Charlatans on the Friday night, we got talking to LeAnn, one of the members of Joe Viterbo, a ska-punk band playing the following day. They sounded interesting, and being the open-minded folk that we are, we decided to check them out… Well, my four year old decided 🙂
Anyway, we quite liked them (the CD has been on continuous rotation in our kitchen), so check them out using the following routes:

Almería - Palacio de los Marqueses de Cabra
The Palacio de los Marqueses de Cabra is another fine example of the aristocratic mansions built in Almería in the 19th century. Economic and demographic growth meant that the upper classes had much more money to spend so they started building grand stately homes outside the old Arab quarter.

Read our full review of the CBTL Kaldi Coffee Maker here.
The Capsules:
The machine uses capsules made by the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, but it's not exclusive to that. Since the machine uses CAFFITALY system, you can buy any capsules from ANY brand as long as it's labelled with CAFFITALY.
Other notes:
The Kaldi does not have a built-in steam wand, so you'll want to bundle it with a milk frother if you want to make milk-based drinks.

When I was asked to review the Skinny Original Lambrini and Hey Blueberry Lambrini, I was a little dubious.
I had flashbacks of my student years, which, if I'm honest, I'd have rather not had! However, I gave it a crack and was, for the most part, pleasantly surprised…
What do Skinny Original Lambrini and Hey Blueberry Lambrini taste like?
The first thing I didn't realise about Skinny Original Lambrini is that is isn't actually a wine, it's a perry – so basically a pear cider.
With that in mind, it tastes really good! It's not as sweet as I remember it being, which is definitely a positive, and has a nice fizz. It certainly feels more sophisticated than drinking a pear cider.
The Hey Blueberry Lambrini is a fruit wine, though there is very little about it that resembles wine.
For my taste, it is a little overpowering and tastes more like an alcopop than a wine. The flavour does taste of blueberry though and isn't artificial tasting, but it is quite sickly and very sweet. It has a good fizz though!
I think the most important thing for both of these drinks is for them to be served really cold!
How many Syns are Skinny Original Lambrini and Hey Blueberry Lambrini?
Skinny Original Lambrini is a low alcohol drink at 3.5% abv.
There are only 29 kcal per 125ml so that equals 1.5 syns…which I think is AMAZING! Compared to other fruit based alcoholic drinks like cider, this is around half the syns!
Hey Blueberry Lambrini has a higher alcohol content at 5% abv.
There are 4 syns per 125ml which is about the same as other low alcohol wines.
How much are Skinny Original Lambrini and Hey Blueberry Lambrini?
Skinny Original Lambrini is currently on offer at £1.50 a bottle (bargain!!). It is normally £2. Hey Blueberry Lambrini is £3 a bottle.
Where can I buy Skinny Original Lambrini and Hey Blueberry Lambrini?
Hey Blueberry Lambrini is exclusive to Tesco and Skinny Original Lambrini is exclusive to Morrisons.
Would I buy Skinny Original Lambrini and Hey Blueberry Lambrini again?
Skinny Original Lambrini was definitely a very surprising success, and not at all what I was expecting – as far as low syn booze goes, it's definitely worth buying. Previously I'd have never considered it so this is high praise indeed!
I'm not feeling quite so many warm and fuzzy feelings about the Hey Blueberry Lambrini.
For me, it is just too sweet and the syns aren't low enough to make it worth the compromise.
But that really is just about personal taste – it may be nicer mixed with some soda water to reduce the intensity of the flavour so could be worth experimenting!

Atherstone is an important shopping stop and we took advantage of the Aldi store to restock Oakapple after letting things run down ready for our visit home.
It was sad to see the state of the old hat factory with its broken windows. When we first started boating we used to hire from Valley Cruises, which were based in Atherstone. It was great to see the factory in operation, with the women workers waving out of the windows at the passing boats. A shame to see the demise of an industry which had been there since Victorian times.
Today was a great improvement with bright sunshine for our trip down the eleven locks. There were quite a few passing boats and we managed to exchange greetings with several fellow bloggers and readers. Amongst them NB swamp Frogs and NB Waiouru, whose trials and tribulations we have followed from the begining.
The sunshine continued through Polesworth and we moored oposite the Samual Barlow pub at Alvecote. Taking advantage of the continuing sunshine we explored the ruins of Alvecote Priory, which was founded by William Burdett as a penance for stabbing his wife for being unfaithful while he was away on a crusade in 1159. We then continued our walk through the woods which are slowly reclaiming the site of Pooley Hall Colliery. Climbing to the top of the old spoil heap we were rewarded with some stunning views over the surounding countryside. We just managed to return to Oakapple before the showers arrived, giving us some quite startling rainbows.

By David Schwartz
PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona State University police officer who faced termination proceedings after scuffling with a professor he had stopped for jaywalking last year has resigned, citing the impact of the saga on his family, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
Stewart Ferrin had been on administrative leave since July following the May 20 struggle with ASU assistant English professor Ersula Ore, which was captured by a dashboard camera in Ferrin's car. He was told last month that the school intended to fire him over that and other incidents.
But Ferrin resigned effective on Monday, said attorney Mel McDonald.
Blurry video from the night of the incident showed Ferrin stopping Ore, who is African-American, and ordering her to show her identification before a struggle ensues as he tries to handcuff her. The two are seen wrestling to the ground, and at one point, the recording appears to show Ore kicking Ferrin.
"The lack of support, cooperation, and downright bias, coupled with an agenda to ruin my career, has become unbearable and I will not subject my family to this any longer," Ferrin told police chief Mike Thompson in his resignation letter.
"I do this in an effort to continue with my life, to give my family better opportunities, and move past this horrible experience."
Ore has claimed self-defense and says the officer, who is white, used excessive force and violated her civil rights. A preliminary probe by university police found claims by Ore and civil rights activists of excessive force or racial profiling as unfounded and asked the FBI to determine whether any civil rights were violated.
An FBI review of the incident was turned over to federal prosecutors who declined to file charges, an FBI spokesman has said.
A university spokesman confirmed the resignation and said in a statement that Ferrin had failed to "act in accordance with the standards of professionalism expected at ASU."
The university said that determination was made following an investigation into the officer's conduct stemming from the Ore incident and another that occurred within a week, and his performance during four years on the job.
Ore was sentenced to nine months' probation and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service after she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest. She has since filed a $2 million claim against the university. Neither Ore nor her attorney could be reached for comment.

Lightning GPS has announced what it says is the world's first ever covert GPS tracker built into a fully functional touch screen navigation system.
The "NavGenius" promises to "monitor a driver's every move" and it comes with two manuals, one for the user of the car that doesn't mention any of the tracking features and one for the "real driver" of the device (cue evil laughter).
Thanks to its internet capabilities, the GPS can interact with, and be controlled by, other devices and services over the internet and can send out SMS or email alerts to the owner if, for example, it goes out of an authorised range or if the vehicle it's on breaks the speed limit.
With an online mapping system, users can check on a family member or fleet vehicle in real-time from any computer, in addition, for those not being sneaky about the device's capabilities, routes can be sent to the unit from the web.
The Lightning GPS "NavGenius" will ship in the States in mid April 2009, pricing on application.

Not only is Yaphet Kotto an immensely talented, versatile actor, he's an icon. His character "Parker" all but stole the show in the 1979 Ridley Scott sci-fi horror masterpiece "Alien", and his character "Smokey" did the same in the 1978 Paul Schrader film "Blue Collar".
Among a long list of movie and television credits so far spanning five decades, he's been a Bond villain ("Kananga" in "Live and Let Die"), a foil for Robert DeNiro in the action/comedy "Midnight Run", and he currently runs his own website for science-fiction fans: www.sci-horrorchannel.com.
When did you first know you wanted to be an actor?
Any standout memories working with Anthony Quinn in "Across 110th Street"?
My fondest memory of Tony was the day we were walking through Central park on our way back to the Navarro Hotel where we were staying, and I started talking about how performing live on stage was the real challenge, not just acting in front of a camera for an editor to create a performance. Right there and then Quinn started to do his song and dance routine from "Zorba the Greek", attracting a crowd of about five hundred people. That was it for me. "That's it Tony, you're the king".
You directed one film, "The Limit", in 1972… How was it stepping behind the camera?
What was it like working with Issac Hayes in "Truck Turner"?
For the James Bond film "Live and Let Die", where you play the main villain, did you study any past Bond villains for the role?
How did you set upon playing "Kananga" differently than the other Bond villains of the past?
Was there a lot of improvisation in "Blue Collar" between you, Richard Pryor and Harvey Keitel (the morning-after scene comes to mind)?
How was it filming the "Blue Collar" death scene in the paint room?
What was the most challenging scene in "Alien"?
Was there much improvisation on "Alien"?
Any other memories of "Alien" you want to share?
How was it working on "Midnight Run" with Robert DeNiro?
What was your experience like on the TV series "Homicide"?
The camerawork on some films and many TV shows is shaky and fast moving… Do you find it difficult acting to this?
What is your documentary "Marmora 2012" about?
Your official website is sci-horrorchannel.com… What goes on at this site?

We live in the panhandle, and tornadoes are part of living here.
We have had our fair share of close calls, but today I am brought to my knees, asking God to guide the first responders to all those who are hurting and scared. Praying for those who are displaced and without a home this evening.
May we all bombarde the gates of Heaven with prayers for refuge, rescue, and safe harbor.

Want to Boost Innovation? Here Are the 3 Books You Need to Read Next
The curator for business, history, and social sciences at The New York Public Library shares his favorite reads for boosting creativity.
While necessity is said to be the mother of invention, innovation is the engine driving personal growth, creativity, and startup success. While some people are quick to innovate, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking are skill sets that can be cultivated and taught.
If you are looking for good reads on the subject, you can crowdsource recommendations by checking out Amazon's bestseller list and best-rated titles. Among the books featured are Harvard Business Review's 10 Must Reads on Innovation by Peter F. Drucker; The Innovator's Mindset: Empower Learning, Unleash Talent, and Lead a Culture of Creativity by George Couros; and Innovation Tools: The Most Successful Techniques to Innovate Cheaply and Effectively, by Evan Shellshear.
Another option is asking a single person for recommendations. What better expert to suggest books on a topic than a professional librarian. I reached out to John Balow, who is curator for business, history and social science at The New York Public Library, for his top three picks for people who want to boost their creativity and create a mindset and environment that bolsters innovation. Here is what he shared, along with some thoughts on what makes these his "top shelf" picks.
1. Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days by Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky, and Branden Kowitz
Sprint is co-authored by three partners at Google Ventures — Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky, and Braden Kowitz. The book prescribes a five-day process for testing ideas and solving problems. It is divided into five main sections, each one detailing a day in the five-day process. One of the things Balow likes best about this book is its universal application. "The practical steps can be applied to companies of any size or intention, from startups, to large, established corporations, to nonprofits," he explains. He also praised the book's voice, which is extremely accessible. "The brisk, lighthearted tone perfectly matches the subject matter, as does the format."
2. Happiness Track: How to Apply the Science of Happiness to Accelerate Your Business by Emma Seppälä
One would not necessarily associate happiness with innovation, but there is a reason Balow includes it in his top-three picks. "Drawing upon cognitive psychology and neuroscience, Seppälä, who is science director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University, disputes commonly held notions of success as both outdated and counterproductive. She offers practical advice to increase happiness, and in turn, bolster professional satisfaction," Balow explains. Backed by scientific research, Happiness Track offers insights for changing the way we approach our work and non-work lives. "It teaches the reader how to thrive professionally without sacrificing authenticity and moral values." This focus helps build an emotional environment conducive to true innovation driven by satisfaction and camaraderie.
3. Small Data: The Tiny Clues That Uncover Huge Trends by Martin Lindstrom
Balow describes this book as "Part Margaret Mead, part Sherlock Holmes, part Woodward and Bernstein" adding: "It is a truly singular business book." To write this book, Lindstrom spends 300 nights in strangers' homes observing their every action to discern what motivates them, and ultimately consider what these data mean in the marketplace. Balow likes this book because "Lindstrom's methodology is disrupting market research and getting to the details usually missed by big data analysis." The book is filled with examples of how observed human behavior led to revolutionary redesigns and product launches. For example, the author explains how a worn out sneaker changed LEGO, and how a teddy bear changed the design of 1,000 retail stores worldwide. "By uncovering the unexpected experiences and connections that have caused some of the most successful brands in the world to innovate and adapt, the author leaves readers looking at the world around them with much more appreciation for their own small inspirations and epiphanies."
When it comes to innovation, making new connections, thinking about things differently, and being exposed to new ideas gets the juices flowing. Who knows? Perhaps your next big idea lies just beyond the pages of one of these fascinating books.

The Indian railway has decided to upgrade its decade old, worn-out coaches and to come up with a and revamped model. This Diwali it might surprise its passengers with this gift.
The prototype of the newly designed coach has been ready in the Bhopal workshop. It is reported that National School of Design has given its input for the interior design of these coaches. Going by the look of these coaches, it is not going to be anything like people have got used to. All the classes from General and Sleeper to AC-I, II and III, has been modified.
The designing has focused mainly on optimising space and giving the coach slickness in look ad feel. The seats in the coaches are to be designed more economically, there is going to be new ladder for the upper seats and accessories like bottle holder, dining tray and all other things are going to be designed from scratch.
The toilets will be so designed to keep it clean and dry after regular use. The lightning system of the coaches will see a complete overhaul, now poorly lit bulbs ad tubes will give way to more efficient LEDs.
There has been an approach to break past from the old monotonous colour scheme and to include a combination of colours while designing. The Prime Minster Narendra Modi has instructed the designers to come up with colour schemes which can showcase the character of India with a design theme of 'One India One Railway'.
Before rolling out the newly made coaches, railway will hold a brainstorming session with the coach manufacturers from nine countries, including China, Japan, Spain, Italy, Australia, Germany and England in a seminar on Friday and Saturday.
The subject of discussions will be "Rail Coach Interiors: Innovation, Safety, Comfort". The main idea behind this is to make the journey for its passengers more comfortable by incorporating world-class design and to develop a world-class railways system in India.

Question Part I: Why do we Pray Three Times a Day?
Answer Part I:
First of all, the Rambam1)Hilchos Tefilah 1:1 says that the Torah requires us to pray to G-d at least once a day. The Ramban2)Discussions on the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos, Mitzvas Asei 5, on the other hand, says that we are only obligated to cry out in prayer to Hashem during a time of crisis. It is clear, however, that one way or another, the Men of the Great Assembly (who lived at the start of the Second Temple period, almost 2,500 years ago) instituted that we should pray thrice daily. You seem to me to ask "Surely there is great depth behind this obligation and why the Rabbis instituted it. Given all that, what is the rationale behind this formalized obligation to pray three times a day?" I will offer one small gleaning as the beginning of an answer.
The Maharal M'Prague writes3)Nesiv Ha'Avodah Chapter 3 that there are three distinct periods of a day, the morning, the afternoon, and the evening, and at each of those times we turn to G-d in formalized prayer to ask Him to help us in each unique circumstance. In the morning, the idea is to ask Hashem for help in "utilizing" all of the potential of the new day for positive things and for growth. In the afternoon, when we are usually at the height of our strength and productivity, the idea is to remember Who gave us all of this strength and capability in the first place. In the middle of our busy days, when we are most productive, it is easiest to forget the Source of our success. In the night, when darkness falls, comes the waning of a person's strength. We then turn to Hashem with emunah, trusting that He will assure that everything we did in the day that passed should turn out for the good, and that He will protect us and guide us through the darkness to a new day.
Question Part II: Is there any Relation to the Avot (Avraham, Isaac, and Jacob)? I Heard There is a Midrash About That.
Answer Part II:
The Talmud4)Berachos 26b correlates the three prayers to two different aspects: their initiator and their corresponding sacrifice. Avraham Avinu initiated the Shacharis service, Yitzchak Minchah, and Yaakov Maariv. We, too, pray these services at the same times that they did. As well, the three prayers correspond to the Korban Tamid (daily sacrifice). In the Beis Hamikdash, they would bring one sacrifice in the morning (corresponding to shacharis, and one sacrifice in the afternoon (minchah). Any leftover pieces of meat and fats were then placed on the altar at night, corresponding to Maariv.

BEIJING — High-ranking army officers of Viet Nam and China have affirmed the importance of defence ties in the comprehensive co-operative strategic partnership between the two Parties and States.
The statement was made by Senior Lieutenant-General Do Ba Ty, chief of the General Staff of the Viet Nam People's Army, and his Chinese counterpart Chen Bingde during talks in Beijing on Monday.
They expressed their pleasure at the development of the two countries' defence ties, saying that the two sides had effectively implemented the protocol signed between the two defence ministries in 2003, along with other co-operative agreements.
The two armies had increased exchanges of delegations at all levels, including exchanges among young officers and veterans, as well as co-operation in training.
Both sides had continued to accelerate co-ordination between their navies, border guards and bordering military zones. Activities such as joint patrols at sea and on land, and joint search and rescue exercises at sea had contributed to maintaining security and order in border areas, and helped deal with violations while preventing and fighting crime.
Co-operation in Party and political work and co-ordination in the mechanism of the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting Plus (ADMM+) between the two armies continued to be strengthened.
Regarding East Sea issues, the two sides agreed that their armies must strictly implement agreements reached between the two countries' senior leaders, including the agreement on fundamental principles guiding the settlement of issues at sea.
They noted the need to heighten vigilance and to prevent hostile forces from inciting division between Viet Nam and China or causing political instability.
Addressing the talks, Senior Lieutenant-General Chen Bingde, chief of the General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, stressed that Ty's visit to China not only promoted the traditional friendship between the two Parties, States, armies and peoples, but also created a dynamic force to begin a new stage of development and further strengthen confidence between the two countries and armies.
He gave a briefing on China's achievements in socio-economic development and science and technology under the leadership of the Party.
Ty stressed that the Vietnamese-Chinese friendship held important strategic significance for both countries, as well as for peace, stability and common development in the region.
Developing a fine and sustainable neighbouring friendship with China was always a top priority in the external policy of Viet Nam, he added.
At the talks, the two sides agreed to continue implementing co-operation in fields agreed between the two ministries and focus on exchanges of delegations at all levels and personnel training in the future.
The two armies would continue completing current co-operative mechanisms and study new mechanisms, helping deepen relations while enhancing mutual trust.
The armies should boost information dissemination on the traditional friendship between the two countries' people and armies, and co-ordinate at multilateral forums, especially at the ADMM+, raising the role and position of the Vietnamese and Chinese armies in the region and promoting peace, co-operation and development. — VNS

Earlier this month Venus and Serena Williams' father filed for divorce accusing his wife of theft and abandonment [click here if you missed that].
Now the wife is firing back...
From TMZ
Lakeisha Juanita Williams has filed explosive new court docs in her divorce from Richard Williams -- her husband of 7 years -- claiming he's been acting "erratic and hostile" and she's afraid.
Richard initially filed for divorce last month accusing Lakeisha of being an alcoholic and stealing money -- allegations she adamantly denies in her response, obtained by TMZ Sports.
In fact, 38-year-old Lakeisha claims she's been essentially raising their child on her own because 75-year-old Richard refuses to get involved. She says school officials, teachers and doctors will corroborate her claims.Lakeisha also claims she had to remove an "arsenal of firearms including an AK-47" from their home in fear he could harm her or their 5-year-old child.

Tasha Hyndman
Hello! I am Tasha Hyndman and I co-facilitate the Girls Circle program with Elizabeth Fry. Girls Circle is a creative based prevention strategy for young women ages 13-24. I chose to work with young girls because I enjoy hearing young people share their stories and I am grateful that I can positively impact younger versions of myself.
My love for the water began with Toronto Brigantine as a teen. There's something about sailing through the night with the wind at your back and the stars above you that makes you see the beauty of nature. For me, the water is an escape, it's a place where I can be my true and unapologetic self. I can truly say that I would not be the person I am today if it wasn't for my involvement with Toronto Brigantine.
I believe that humans were put on this earth to be caretakers of the this land; through Project Coastline, I hope to inspire other youth to stand together and fight to protect the water that connects us all.
Emma Fuller
My name is Emma Fuller, I am a grade twelve student from a rural town in Eastern Ontario, sitting on the southern border of the Canadian Shield. Because of where I live geographically, I have always been surrounded by countless clear lakes, rivers, and ponds, striking up my appreciation for water at a young age.
I spend my summers working as a Natural Heritage Educator at Bon Echo Provincial Park. My job is to educate Bon Echo's visitors about the cultural and natural history of the Mazinaw country! I spend every summer day working on two boats within Bon Echo Provincial Park, a 12 passenger ferry boat transporting campers to and from trailheads, and a 26 passenger tour boat where I gave a 45 minute interpretive tour of the Mazinaw Lake, and the 260+ indigenous pictographs that were painted on the 100 meter high cliff hundreds of years ago!
I get to appreciate Ontario's inland lakes and waterways every day, and I hope to get more folks to discover the endless potential they have to offer!
Radha Mokkaba
I was born in the small republic of Ingushetia and grew up most of my life in Germany. Since 2010, I have lived in Altona, Manitoba as well as Toronto, Ontario. I have always enjoyed being around water whether it be through swimming, diving, or sailing. I am interested in a wide area of subjects most especially I focus my energy in the arts. I am most passionate about acting and attending workshops such as the Theatre of the Oppressed Intensive Workshop with Naomi Tesslar and studying fashion and business full time at Ryerson. I also volunteer with Pact fashion, pact entrepreneurship, Ruckus by South Etobicoke Youth assembly, the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corpse, Horizons for Youth, and most currently, I am volunteering as a peer mentor at Covenant House. What I really hope to achieve with my involvement with Project Coastline is to bring my love of water closer to others and create a sense of accomplishment and gratitude in my young Canadian peers, for our Canadian coastlines.
Maria Bernadette Battaglia
Hi! My name is Maria and I have been living in Canada for almost 5 years now. I love my new home in Toronto and in the summer I am always out on the lake sailing. Being on the water is such a huge resource for me: we are so lucky to live right next to something so beautiful and I wish I could share my passion with more people. With Project Coastline I have two personal goals: the first one is to get more people out on the water by sharing my stories. The second one is to raise awareness on how important it is that each of us contributes to keep our lake clean and healthy.

Laurence Pagé
Bonjour! Mon nom est Laurence Pagé. J'ai été introduite aux sports nautiques dès mon plus jeune âge par la natation, le canot et la voile. J'ai voyagé sur le fleuve St-Laurent sur le quillard de mes parents du lac Ontario aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine en passant par l'île d'Anticosti. Dès ma douzième année, j'ai été initié à la voile sur dériveur avec les cadets de la marine et depuis je n'ai jamais arrêté. J'ai même eu la chance de vivre deux semaines sur un grand voilier, le T.S. Royalist, au Royaume-Uni. Je suis instructeur de voile accrédité par Voile Canada depuis 2012, d'abord avec les cadets, puis au Gatineau River Yacht Club depuis 2014. J'ai aussi participé aux régates nationales des cadets de la marine à Kingston, Ontario, en 2012 et 2013. Avec le projet Coastline, j'espère aider à faire découvrir la richesse des plans d'eau omniprésents au Québec.

Dev K
Hi! My name is Dev K and I am passionate about Canada's Marine Heritage!
Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town was settled on June 7, 1753 by Foreign Protestants (German, French and Swiss inland farmers) as a British Colonial Settlement. Given the poor soil and their close proximity to the ocean, these farmers quickly turned themselves into a seafaring people.
Being raised by a family of fishers in Lunenburg, it seemed only fitting to pursue a career in history. My most recent accomplishments include Bluenose: The Legend Lives; a documentary on the iconic schooner aired on CBC.
Mady Frellick
Hello friends! My name is Mady Frellick, and I am a sixteen year old high school student living on the edge of the world in Lunenburg Nova Scotia. I have grown my love of Canada's coastline through growing up surrounded by the ocean, sailing, and water. Currently I am a grade 11 IB certificate student, with hopes of combining my studies and travels after I graduate. As a Project Coastline ambassador, I hope to share my love of Nova Scotia's rich culture, history, and environment through my love for photography, nature, and the environment.

text: Not quite what I expected Written by MachaQueso on Nov 9th 2016 First, there are lots of great things about this cockpit. It is sturdy and pretty easy to assemble. Unfortunately, there are a few issues I can't really overlook: - How hard would have been to pre-drill some holes in pedal tray? I bought this cockpit to replace my current setup with a DxRacer PS/1000 + Chair where sometimes the chair would move me away when pushing pedals too hard. I wanted a rig where everything was firmly in place and not move at all so I could execute precision driving manouvers. This cockpit is useless for me unless I drill the holes myself. - The mounts for shifter and keyboard tray are badly designed: you can't get out from they keyboard tray side, and the shifter gets in the way on the other side making it very cumbersome to stand up from the chair unless you have the flexibility of a yoga teacher. Did they even try having people sit, then quickly get out of chair? This could be easily fixed by changing the shifter tray to be mounted to the front half (monitor stand) side. - The keyboard tray itself is cumbersome to maneuver, the steering wheel tray gets in the way unless you mount it all the way back and at that position the keyboard is too close to the seat which is not a very ergonomic position.

Eleven years after the drug hit the market and twelve years after a large study indicated that use of the drug increased risks for weight gain and diabetes, pharmaceutical manufacturer Eli Lilly has finally expanded its warning labels on its best selling product Zyprexa. The makers of Zyprexa finally bowed to pressure by the FDA and the warning labels now include risk factors for weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and other metabolic problems. Zyprexa has been the subject of numerous product liability lawsuits.

14. Excessive use of Functional/Sports Specific Training (F/SST).
I am a fan of F/SST, I believe it should be part of everyone's training regime. However, too much of it will decrease performance as much as not enough F/SST will decrease performance.
Firstly, as per Part 7 and Part 3 your F/SST needs to be appropriate to your sport or goals or it will be ineffective. Sounds obvious enough but it's a common problem even with qualified coaches.
For example, It may seem like a good idea for a tennis player to work on their base line strokes by using a cable machine in the same range of motion to their racket swing. But is it a good idea? I would argue not because the movement on the court will be a lot faster than the movement on the cable machine. Also, in tennis the shot will be followed through, on the cable machine the shot will come to a slow stop and then be reversed with a loaded eccentric phase. It looks the same at first, but it is a different movement.
Lunging onto a Bosu ball is great if you are recovering from or trying to prevent ankle injuries but ultimately you will be limited in how much weight you can lunge. Less weight equals less power/strength so this is less effective than conventional lunges or split squats.
Going backwards on a Cross Trainer is proven to help knee injures recover but that does not mean it will help strengthen your knees. I have always regarded backwards Cross Training to be far too easy an exercise to improve anything and has limited functionality.
What F/SST is great for is converting your strength/power/fitness gains into sports specific movements. Therefore, it is great for the final few weeks of pre-season and then top-ups during the season. It is also excellent for overcoming issues such as plateaus and weaknesses (see Part 13) and fixing form.
For example, squatting knees forward, hardly bending at the hip is really common with most newbies in the gym and even some of the regulars. I have a lot of success using either functional trainers (cable machines) or TRX (Suspension Training) in fixing this issue. So, for example, using the TRX I will get the client to hold onto both handles and squat backwards and down until their bottom is nearly on the floor (if they have the flexibility). It is rare that people cannot do this as part of the original problem is their conscious/sub-conscious thinking they will fall over if the push the hips back in a squat. By holding onto the straps their brain knows they wont/can't fall over and suddenly the hips bend! A couple of sessions squatting with TRX can be followed by normal squatting and from then on its onwards and upwards. Once their back squatting has got better and they are able to squat with weight I may bring them back to the TRX to carryout pistol (one legged) squats or lunges. However, the main strength/performance gains are from squatting with weight, not TRX/F/SST.

Giving Mario a run for his coins.
After seeing the sleeper hit masterpiece that Ubisoft and Michael Ancil created with Rayman Origins, Legends was on my list of must-see games at E3. At the Nintendo booth, I got to Rayman: Legends directly after my time with the latest Super Mario outing, and it's a hard truth to swallow, but Mario is no longer the king of platforming.
The gameplay, while following the exact same formula and mechanics as Origins, has been improved upon in every way. It's hard to believe that running, jumping, and punching could be smoother, but oh, how it is!
The gorgeously rendered 2D backgrounds are more alive than before with 3D effects, like swooping dragons popping in and out all over. Secret areas are hidden extremely well, and the reward for discovering one is greater—not because of any bonus, but because each hidden area offers up a unique puzzle or mini-game, changing up the pacing and adding some variety.
Four-player co-op is back, but you can also add a fifth player if four Wiimotes and one Wii U Gamepad are used. At a glance, the player with the Wii U Gamepad is there for no other reason but to collect Lums, much like the second player in Mario Galaxy collects stars. But with the tilt and touch features of the Wii U, the Gamepad player becomes vital for puzzles and certain aspects of platforming progression. This was the innovation I was looking for at Nintendo's E3 booth, and it wasn't even Nintendo giving it to me. I couldn't help but ponder if the same was possible using the PlayStation 3 and the Vita (we'll have to wait and see).
Rayman: Legends ended up being my favorite title at Nintendo's booth, and among my favorites of the show. Like Origins, it's likely not high priority on anyone's radar, but it really should be

Daughters (13) phone is with orange and was costing £10 a month. Orange has now put this up to £20
as she (me) is now out of contract. They say best deal they can do now is 400 mins, unlimited texts for £18.80.
What have you seen out there ??
Daughters (13) phone is with orange and was costing £10 a month. Orange has now put this up to £20
as she (me) is now out of contract. They say best deal they can do now is 400 mins, unlimited texts for £18.80.
What have you seen out there ??
http://www.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pay-m...lans/index.htm vodafone £10.50, more tan enough minutes and unlimited texts, find these deals much better value as you can buy you own basic phone for under £30
On Orange Racoon tariff using my own phone £15 month giving 600 minutes talk & 600 texts.
Orange full contract price was too dear for the phone + calls/texts that I wanted , so I bought my own Sim-Free phone from Pre-Paymania. The first 4 months savings using calls-only contract paid for my phone.
Dolphin7 is £7 per month and gives 150 mins 250 MB data and 500 texts http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phon...m-only#dolphin
Any use?
Have a look at talk mobile from the Car phone warehouse, deals with free phones from £7.50 a month.
giffgaff offer 250 minutes ,unlimited texts and 1 gb of data for £10 month ,they use an 02 signal https://giffgaff.com/sim-only?utm_so...llence-10Black
Just had an offer off virgin media, not sure if available to everyone on just existing customers ? Sim only, 1200 minutes, unlimited texts, 1gb data, on a 30 day rolling contract. All for £12 a month
when i my contract came to an end i went to see phones for u just to check if they could beat the original companys and suprisingly they can by a lot
i wanted a very high use deal and for the same money with the same service provider and the latest phone opposed to an out of date model the contract came with twice as much internet and calls and the same unlimited texts well worth going to see them
T Mobile
I'm on something similar with Virgin (not quite as generous) and pay £6 or so a month, usingmy old phone (HTC Desire S). When I change phones it will be for the Nexus 4, an incredibly good value smart phone.
Stay in Northamptonshire - meadowviewcottages.co.uk
I have just changed to Sim Only on Vodafone, 30 day rolling contract, unlimited minutes, u/l texts, 1Gb data £17.42 inc. (Previously was on 900 mins, unlimited texts, 500mb data @ £15.32)
Thought that was pretty good but I will probably give it 2 or 3 months and then give them another call.
Just a suggestion but it might be worth checking phone usage if not all of the bundled minutes and texts were being used it might be cheaper to switch to pay as you go rather than start a new contract.
