Castlepoint's General Manager Peter Matthews, 65, has completed a 30 mile tri-horseathon in eight hours. The route started at Castlepoint with a 10 mile cycle ride to Stocks Farm Equestrian Centre where Peter mounted his horse Jim and completed a series of jumps before riding 10 miles. He visited Portfield School, which will benefit from the £2,400 sponsorship raised, before walking 10 miles back to Castlepoint.
"The walk back to Castlepoint was the toughest part," said Peter. "I would like to thank everyone who sponsored me and helped me on my way."
The money raised will help Autism Wessex to fund essential resources at Portfield School, near Bournemouth Airport, including the installation of an interaction room.
Gemma Saunders, Corporate Partnerships Officer at Autism Wessex said, "We are delighted to receive support from Castlepoint thank Peter, and Jim! It was a gruelling challenge. Portfield School is our specialist school for children affected by autism and other developmental disabilities."
Autism Wessex is Castlepoint's charity of the year. Further information about Autism Wessex's fundraising activities can be found at www.autismwessex.org.uk or www.castlepointshopping.com

In the age of instant gratification, high-tech and time poor, homeowners everywhere have cried out for gardens that look good, but need no work. While we can't promise 'no work', ornamental grasses can deliver low maintenance and easy care. With hundreds to choose from and multiple seasons of interest, grasses are a great utilitarian addition to any garden. They can also deliver a head-turning experience. On a recent trip to Crescent Beach (near White Rock), we even saw one house with the ENTIRE landscape done with ornamental grasses. So when somebody asks, hey are you looking at my grass? The answer may be yes... :)
Here are 12 of some of our favourite ornamental grasses for the garden. Some are cool season, meaning they look best in the spring and fall. These types tend to be evergreen. Other ornamental grasses are warm-season. These ones are best during the heat of the summer and early fall. Then they die back to re-appear next year.
Stipa tenuissima
This summer-time favourite grass has needle thin, flexible foliage that grow 1.5ft tall and as wide. It is a fine textured grass that produces feathery spikes in early summer which resemble a blonde mane of hair. Very showy in the landscape and great when planted in groups. It is native to the rocky slopes of the southwestern US and Mexico. To grow this grass, choose a fertile, well drained location in the full to part sun. It tolerates most soil conditions but dislikes 'wet feet'.
Imperata cylindrical 'Red Baron'
This colourful warm season, spreading grass has green blades with tips that turn translucent red with age. Awesome when planted in groups or in containers. Spreads via rhizomatous roots in warm, moist conditions. Clumps are easily divided in spring. Easy to grow! Will reach 24 inches in height and 12 inches across. Best when planted in full sun to part shade. Hardy to zone 6.
Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster'
This landscaper's favourite is a tall, deciduous, clumping grass with an upright narrow form. Shiny, deep green leaves give way to tall spikes of feathery flowers that start white with a hint of purple then fade to yellow and buff. Best in full to part sun and drought tolerant once established. Grows to 6ft in height and 4ft wide. Excellent in boulevards, containers, gardens and even commercial installations or mass plantings. Hardy to zone 4.
Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila'
Ivory Feathers is a dwarf form of the traditional pampas grass that is well suited for small gardens or used as a specimen. Handsome summer and fall flowers made of long stalks of white plumes are held above the foliage. It has a clumping growth habit and is drought tolerant once established. It's also good in coastal or seaside locations. Best when planted in full sun. Grows 3-5ft in height and 4-6ft wide. Hardy in to Zone 7.
Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus'
This upright, summer-time grass has a more upright form as opposed to the more normal relaxed vase shaped habits of other Miscanthus. Green foliage is highlighted by dramatic horizontal golden bands. Reddish bronze plumes appear above the foliage in summer. A suitable specimen for planting in groups. Dies back in winter to reappear in the late spring. Grows to 8ft tall and 3ft wide. Best when planted in full sun. Hardy in zones 5-9.
Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'
This low growing, mound forming, shade-loving grass produces bamboo like foliage with gold streaked with green. Foliage in weeping and can turn intense pinkish red in the fall. Wonderful accent for containers, edging and oriental gardens. Best when planted in the shade to part shade in fertile, moist but well drained soil. Grows 12-18 inches tall and up to 30 inches wide.
Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens'
This outstanding evergreen grass-like perennial forms a dense clump of smooth-textured black leaves topped with spikes of pale pink flowers which are followed by black, pearl-sheened berries in fall. Deer resistant and fairly drought tolerant once established. Excellent specimen or accent plant for both containers and gardens. Best when planted in part shade to full sun in moist, but well drained soil. Grows to 6 inches high and slowly spreads in width. Hardy in zones 6-9.
Carex hachijoensis 'Evergold'
This evergreen, clump forming sedge has attractive narrow, arching variegated cream and dark green leaves. Excellent for adding colour all year round in both gardens and containers. Trim as desired to keep neat and tidy in the winter. Best when planted in part shade and grows to 12 inches high and 18 inches wide. Hardy to zone 5.
Carex testacea
Another grass-like plant, the Orange Sedge is an evergreen clumping perennial with narrow coppery brown leaves that acquire orange tints in the winter. Awesome in fall and winter containers, rock gardens or mass plantings. Self-seeds with adequate moisture. Best in full to part sun. Grows to 15 inches high and wide. Hardy to zone 6.
Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum'
This spectacular warm-season grass has narrow, upright, arching, burgundy-purple leaves with elegantly long, fluffy foxtail-like flower spikes that are purple-pink with a silver sheen. Flowers dance in the wind and turn buff as they mature. Makes lovely cut flower and is deer resistant. While it is unmatchable in the summer, it unfortunately, is not hardy in our area and in most cases will not survive the winter. Best when planted in full sun in moist, but well drained soils. Grows to 24 inches in height and 24 inches wide. Hardy to zone 9.
Festuca glauca 'Beyond Blue'
This hardy, cool season evergreen perennial forms a tufts of intense, powder blue, thread-like leaves. Wheat-like blue-green flowers rise on slender stems and mature to a tan-gold. Beyond Blue Fescue is both salt and deer resistant and also drought tolerant once established. Excellent for adding winter interest too! Best when planted in full sun in light, well-drained soil. Grows to 12 inches high and 18 inches wide. Super hardy to zone 3.
Chasmanthium latifolium 'River Mist'
This spectacular warm season perennial grass forms a loose tuft of lovely, arching, green and white variegated foliage and clusters of unique sparkling white seed heads that arch elegantly above. Makes a wonderful cut flower and provides winter interest in the garden. Best when planted in full sun to part shade in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Will grow to 30 inches high and 36 inches wide. Hardy to zone 5.
If you've been considering adding ornamental grasses into our garden or containers, drop by Art's Nursery and have a look at these and many other options. We'd be happy to show you the options and make recommendations. As always, call ahead to confirm availability as our selection is always changing.
As you may or may not know, grasses and grass-like plants are divided into two main groups, warm season varieties that look good and perform well when the sun shines and warms the air in summer, and the tougher, hardier, no-nonsense cool season grasses that like our cool spring, autumn and winter.
Cool season grasses tend to be evergreen making them ideal for fall and winter interest, holiday containers and garden fillers when everything else has packed it in for the season. Grasses are also particularly attractive when frosted in the early mornings. Very photogenic!
For the botanical purists, there are grasses and grass-like plants. The genus Carex is not technically a grass, but rather a Sedge. However, for our purposes, we'll lump them together.
While there are dozens of varieties available, this hand picked selection are what we consider tried and true survivors. They look great in a variety of locations, including gardens and containers. They look particularly good when mass planted in a certain area. They are also a great compliment to fill layered bulb bots over the cool season. Give this bunch a try this season.
A cool season evergreen perennial grass like plant that forms a clump of splendid, fine-textured, deep copper-bronze leaves that curl attractively at the ends. Flowers are subtle, drying to brown seedheads. It's striking in the winter and as a contrast plant.Can also be used in borders, containers and rock gardens. Best grown in full sun to part shade in moist, but well drained soil. Grows 1-2ft in height and spread. Hardy in zones 5-9.
This is one you'll either love or hate. Tough large bladed foliage with creamy white edges are the hallmarks of this bold cool season evergreen grass. Ice Dance forms tick, dense clumps of gracefully arching leaves, subtle green flowers and lacy white filaments that dry to brown seedheads. It's slow spreading and easy to grow. Ice Dance Sedge is a brigh addition to borders, containers, woodlands, shade gardens or even on walls and slopes. Best when planted in full sun to part shade and fertile moist soils. Grows to 18 inches in height and spread. Hardy in zones 5-9.
Evergold is a beautiful delicate grass ideal for containers, rock gardens and other locations. It forms a striking and versatile, cascading, cool season evergreen grass that forms mounds of crisp yellow leaves banded with dark green borders. FLowers appear in April to May and are earth-toned, with delicate, fuzzy white filaments. Evergold tolerated dry conditions and cascades nicely over edges. Prefers full sun to part shade in fertile, moist, but well drained soil. Grows to a 12 inches in height and twice as wide in spread. Hardy in zones 5-9.
Black Mondo Grass is a one of a kind plant ideal for the halloween season! Midnight black grass blades topped with spikes of pale pink flowers followed by pearl-sheened non-edible berries in fall. Best when planted in full sun to part shade. Moist but well drained soils are preferred. Keeps its foliage in normal west coast winters. Slow growing - ideal for containers. Looks really sharp when planted en masse on accented by anything yellow or lime green. Hardy in zones 6-9.
Blue Out Grass is a striking accent in the garden or containers. It is a very hardy, cool season evergreen perennial grass that forms a mounded clump of tightly rolled blue-grey blades. Similarly coloured, tall-stemmed, wheat-like flowers mature to an attractive buff and last until fall. Blue Oat Grass is also deer resistant and drought tolerant once established. This is an excellent plant for borders, containers, mass plantings, rock gardens and water-wise environments. Best when planted in full sun to part shade in fertile well drained soils. Grows 16 inches in height and 1-2ft across. Hardy in zones 3-9.
This cool season evergreen perennial grass has a shimmering, fine-textured, silvery-green leavesthat curl attractively at the tip and cascade from the centre of the clump. Its a great cool season near-equivalent to the warm season mexican feather grass. Subtle green flowers dry to light brown. Frosty curls trails attractively over walls and planters. It is also perfect in borders, mass plantings, hanging baskets, containers abd woodland gardens. Can also be used in part shade. It's drought resistant once established. Deer resistant. Frosty Curls Sedge is best grown in full to part sun and sandy, well drained soils. Grows to 1ft in height and 1-2 ft across. Hardy in zones 7-9.

The Greta Van Susteren plastic surgery story is no secret, as this legal analyst for a host of television shows has publicly talked about her eye lift.
Greta Van Susteren was born on June 11, 1954 in Appleton, Wisconsin, and she has gained international recognition for her legal commentary on a number of television news shows.
She currently has her own show and is quickly making a name for herself on the talk show circuit. She first hit the public stage as a legal analyst for CNN during the O.J. Simpson trial.
She then went on to work for CNN in a variety of roles, but she has recently changed to Fox News where she has her own show and makes nearly 1 million dollars per year.
Many, however, have speculated on the job offer and the plastic surgery that was completed before Susteren went to work for Fox News.
Greta Van Susteren: I Had A Cosmetic Surgery Eye Lift
This media journalist has gone on the record during an interview with People magazine and has openly talked about her eye lift.
She has done this much the way that Cameron Diaz' plastic surgery has been discussed. Her procedure is known as an eye lift, and the star says that she was tired of the black bags under her eyes, and she had a month in between jobs.
During this time, she decided to have an operation, and there are no worst plastic surgery pictures that are found with other celebrity plastic surgeries.
Most have commented on the improvement that Susteren has accomplished with her new look, and many have talked about its effects on her new job.
Does Cosmetic Surgery Go Hand In Hand With A Career Move?
Many wonder if this news personality went under the knife for her new high paying job with the Fox News Network.
She is the recipient of nearly a million dollar a year salary as a result of the bidding war between Fox and CNN. Before she went to work for Fox News, the star went public about her operation, and this has left many wondering whether it is associated with her new job.
There are good chances that this is the case, as before this time, she was known for her indifference to her public appearance.
Whatever the truth is, her results are far better than the Michael Jackson plastic surgery that was the perfect case of plastic surgery gone wrong.
Greta Van Susteren has a brand new job and a brand new eye lift to go with it. This television personality has been open about her surgery, and she has gone on the record to talk about her eye lift.
This is a procedure that relies on an eye tuck, and it is the third most popular type of plastic surgery in the United States. Most of the pictures that have been shown are surprisingly good, and people are talking of the new plastic surgery celebrity and her new television show for Fox.
The Greta Van Susteren cosmetic surgery is an issue that is public knowledge.

History of SciFest
SciFest was the brainchild of the current SciFest CEO, Sheila Porter. Arising from her involvement with the Intel Educator Academy in the United States, she approached the Institute of Technology Tallaght (ITT) in 2006 with an idea for a local science exhibition for second level students. A successful pilot SciFest science exhibition was hosted by ITT in 2006 and repeated in 2007. With funding from the Discover Science and Engineering programme and Intel Ireland Sheila Porter was seconded from her teaching post in Loreto College, St Stephen's Green, to Intel in September 2007 to work on SciFest on a full-time basis.
The model proved highly scalable and cost effective. In 2008 SciFest ran in nine Institutes of Technology (ITs). In 2009 the number of ITs involved increased to 14 and an additional SciFest was hosted in Northern Ireland. With the numbers increasing so rapidly it was decided to expand the SciFest project in 2011 by introducing two new levels of participation, school-based (SciFest@School) and a national final.
In 2012 Sheila's secondment ended, five years being the maximum allowed by the Department of Education and Skills, and she decided to resign her teaching post and continue to work with SciFest. With her husband, George, she set up a not-for-profit company, SciFest Ltd, to run the SciFest project.
In 2012 the project developed an international aspect with participation in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the USA. This aspect of the project was further expanded in 2015 with participation in the International Environment and Sustainability Project Olympiad (INESPO) in the Netherlands.
In SciFest 2017 almost 4000 students, encouraged and supported by 440 teachers from 285 schools, entered over 1600 projects at SciFest@College STEM fairs. SciFest 2017 also saw a further dramatic increase in participation in the SciFest@School strand of the programme. Over 7000 students exhibited over 3000 projects at SciFest@School STEM fairs in 67 schools. Overall, between the two strands of the project, SciFest 2017 involved 10,000 students presenting some 4400 projects.
In 2013 SciFest was greatly honoured by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, very graciously agreeing to become the sole Patron of the project.
Aim of SciFest
The aim of SciFest is to encourage a love of science, technology, engineering and maths through active, collaborative, inquiry-based learning and to provide a forum for second-level students at local/regional level to present and display their scientific investigations.
Participation in SciFest helps students to develop an interest in, and enthusiasm for, STEM. It allows them to learn while pursuing an aspect of the subject in which they have a particular interest. It also encourages the development of the skills sets that are required to address future global concerns of food, water and energy security, create wealth to sustain growth and to provide better health services and better infrastructure. Addressing such global concerns will create and drive the jobs and skills needs of the future.

Elizabeth and Sean
The Orangery, Whittlebury Park, near Towcester
How and when did you meet?
It was a sort of blind date. Sean was a customer of the company I worked for and we had spoken every day on the phone for five years. One day, out of the blue, he asked me if I'd like to meet him for a lunchtime drink. I agreed and we eventually got together three months later – that was six years ago!
How old are you both?
I'm 30 and Sean is 36.
Where, when and how did he (or you!) propose?
I 'proposed' after three weeks! We had both agreed that our relationship was already completely different to any we had previously had and one day I just said "Let's get married" and he said "Ok" so that was that!
Did you have hen and stag celebrations? If so, what did you do?
I went to Bistro Live in Milton Keynes with some friends and our mums but Sean didn't have a Stag do!
How did your groom help with the wedding planning?
Sean was involved with every aspect of the planning! He chose the cake and the pig roast for the evening and helped me make all the invitations, menus and the table plan. He was amazing but a bit of a 'bridezilla' at times!
Did you use confetti to plan your wedding? If so, how did the website help you?
We used the budget planner, table plan, and the guest list and I was glued to the Cafe!
Do you have a confetti web page?
Did you buy any confetti products for your wedding? If so, did you visit a store, buy online or by mail order?
We bought dried rose petals, chocolate trivia, a guest book, metallic confetti and a few gifts online.
Tell us about your outfit, and where you bought it
My dress was by Angel Bride from Bride and Joy in Bletchley. I loved it the second I put it on!
you have bridesmaids? If so, who did you choose and what did they wear?
I had three adult bridesmsaids: Michelle, Melissa and Lindsey who wore black Debut dresses from Debenhams with stoles and our 22 month old daughter, Amelia, played flower girl in a cream Mothercare dress!
Who did your groom choose for his best man and ushers, and what did they wear?
Sean chose his brother Vince for his best man and his dad John as our usher. Vince is in the army so dressed appropriately and John wore a black Edward suit with a burgundy and black waistcoat and burgundy cravat which matched my dad; the suits were from Suitors in Buckingham.
Did you have a civil or religious ceremony?
It was a civil ceremony.
Where did you hold your ceremony?
The Orangery, Whittlebury Park, near Towcester.
Where did you hold your reception?
The Orangery.
Did you have any special wedding transport?
How many guests did you invite to your wedding, and did you have a separate evening guest list?
We had 43 people (including 10 children) to the ceremony and an overall 86 in the evening.
Did your reception have a particular theme in terms of colour or style?
There was no real theme, we just wanted elegance and warmth. I hope we achieved it!
How did you incorporate this in to your table settings?
question We had hurricane lamps with a church candle inside which we partly filled with dried rose petals. We set these on round mirrors and then sprinkled a handful of petals over the table with some gold metallic hearts and tea lights in glass dishes. It looked amazing when it started to get dark.
Did you give your guests favours?
No, but we did place one chocolate trivia at each place.
Describe your flowers (bouquets and table decorations). Who was your florist?
I decided not to have flowers and instead had a bouquet made of ivory feathers and Swarovski crystals and pearls. The girls had iIvory and burgundy feather posies and my daughter carried a feather wand with little bells on. All the men had feather button holes and our mums had feather corsages. All these were made by Rachel at YR Design in Halifax.
What did you choose to have on your menu? Did you have an outside caterer or did your venue handle the catering?
We had smoked salmon and asparagus with warm Hollandaise, pink Champagne sorbet, beef wellington and four miniature desserts. We served our Malteser cake with coffee and in the evening after the fireworks, we had a pig roast.
What did you choose for your wedding cake, and who made it?
We had a devil's food cake which was completely covered in Maltesers – it tasted amazing! Sean saw a similar one in a magazine and had his heart set on it! Teresa at Creative Cakes in Stony Stratford made it and counted every Malteser by hand so that we could run a competition for our guests to guess how many were on the cake!
Did you have any entertainment during the day or evening?
During the meal we had a harpist play, which I loved, and in the evening we had a disco.
Did you have a gift list? If so, who did you have your list with?
Where did you spend your first night and honeymoon? Who did you book your honeymoon with?
We spent our first night in the Whittlebury Hall hotel which was lovely. Our honeymoon was two nights in London. We booked a private capsule on the London Eye which I hated but overall we had a great time!
What was your most memorable moment of the day?
Saying our vows, the fireworks and we spent the last half an hour on our own – dancing and chatting about the day – I'd recommend anyone to do that – it was a fab end to the day.
Did you experience any 'nightmare' moments in the run up to your wedding or on the day?
We had a couple of things which we easily sorted out on the day, a whole table's menu choice went missing, but luckily they had extra portions to make this up!
Is there anything you would do differently, or any advice you would give to other brides?I wouldn't have done anything differently but I would have hired a creche service as some people couldn't be relied on to supervise their children and they were messing about with the lights while we were trying to eat and generally running amok!

Since writing about my blog anxiety, I've received an unexpected blessing: the desire to blog again! First topic back in the line up, personal finance. I've put this topic on the shelf since being laid off because I felt like I had nothing to share– it was all just stressful. Now that we've got things under control, I feel like I'm allowed to have opinions (and dreams) about our money again. Enjoy! And… as always please share your thoughts in the comments. YOU'RE the interesting one here!
When I was laid off a year and a half ago, we slashed our budget to the bare minimum. Which bills had to be paid? How low could our discretionary categories go? For a while there, we said goodbye to spending money, dining out, and using the car for anything but JHubb's work.
Since then, our budget has come a long way. We're back to $40 per month each in spending money. We spend a lot of money on food ($600+ per month) and rent ($1400+ per month). But each of these line items represent intentional priorities within our budget. To be able to prioritize these fat areas, we stay pretty "thin"* for many other things:
- Clothes. JHubbs gets a few new items for the school year, but otherwise our clothing budget is less than $100 a year. I work from home, so I have a pile of yoga pants and T-shirts that I've owned for a long time. For church and social events, I have two pairs of jeans and a handful of tops that I cycle through (sorry, friends!), two casual dresses, and two dressy dresses. Much of this simplicity is the result of decluttering and buying/owning only what I truly wear each month. It leaves a lot of room in our walk-in closet for storage, where we keep off-season clothes and music equipment.
- Eating out. Outside of the holiday season when we meet friends and family members for meals, we eat out about once a month. "Fast food" is a naked rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods and a nice evening out is the hot bar at Ellwood Thompson's. (It really helps here that I get sick if we eat out :-P).
- Electronics. We've had the same phones for 3+ years. (This won't count soon because we're saving our spending money to get new phones in three months, but for now it counts :-)). We've also had the same laptop for over 6 years, though this weekend I did buy a Chromebook for my business use.
- Makeup and hair. I use very few beauty products and the ones I do have I stock up when Whole Foods has its 25 percent off sale each year. It also helps that I don't have to go into work, so one bottle of concealer lasts me about a year! I don't dye my hair, I get a haircut about once a year, and we bought a trimmer for JHubbs so he gets year-round haircuts for free. About twice a year I talk myself into an eyebrow wax, and once every few years I get a pedicure.
- Household. We use linen towels in the kitchen to limit our paper towel usage, so one package lasts us a long time. My parents often bring paper products as a house gift when they visit (so generous!), so that pretty much stocks us for a long time. We do buy dish soap, laundry detergent, and dishwasher detergent, but using less tha you think you need can help stretch it out. After a very long phase-out period for greening-up the house (start slow, but start!), we use vinegar and essential oils for cleaning, and don't buy perfume or fragrance-type things because of the chemicals in it that disrupt your endocrine system (I forget what those products are called again). I think we have a Lysol can from my teaching days, but we don't use it much. And to get TMI on you, did you know that grains are just bulk for your toilet? Because your body can't digest it, the grains you eat just go on out the other end. Going grain-free means cleaner, less frequent (though still daily so you maintain intestinal health) bowel movements and therefore less toilet paper.
- Linens. We've have the same bed sheets, blankets, and bath towels since before we were married.
- Furniture. This is about to change, as we've started a "couch" envelope to buy a nice couch, but otherwise our furniture is from Craigslist and/or we've had it since before we were married. The only exception is business-related items like an IKEA desk and a new computer chair (that I've since swapped out for an exercise ball).
- Kitchen. Despite spending a lot on food, we don't spend a lot in the kitchen otherwise. All of our dishes, glassware, silverware, and baking pieces are also from before we were married (and/or wedding gifts). Major appliances like a KitchenAid mixer and food processor were (very) generous gifts from my parents over the years.
- Entertainment. We don't have a landline or cable of any kind. Our entertainment expenses is a grand total of $8/month for Netflix. We use the library and second hand stores for books, and we use Spotify for music. With friends, it really, really helps to be honest about being on a budget. There's rarely any pretense to spend money for the sake of spending money, and we're all pretty open about seeking free and low-cost things to do (hello $2 theater!).
- Commuting. I don't have a commute and JHubb's commute is less than 30 minutes, so our gas costs are about $150 a month (remember when I used to commute and spend $400+ a month on gas!?!).
*Obviously, we're very lucky to consider these lifestyle habits "thin" or "poor" in any way. I hope you'll lend me some literary license here. We're grateful to be so blessed to have phones at all, let alone 3-year-old ones!

Adriaan Kuiters
Label: Adriaan Kuiters
Designer: Adriaan Kuiters
About: Adriaan Kuiters is a menswear label offering beautifully tailored, locally produced pieces with classic lines in a muted palette that exude a timeless style that reminds us of a more elegant age.
Adriaan Kuiters draws its stylistic inspiration from the elegance of the golden age of travel, with each beautifully tailored piece steeped in the timeless style of an era when natural, high quality materials were de rigueur. From the casual elegance of 50s Ipanema Beach to the powerfully functional lines of the 1930s Orient Express, the clothing expresses understated style and painstaking craftsmanship in every detail. Wearability is paramount and the lines of each piece are designed with this in mind.
Women / Men's: Men's
MBFWCT13 collection: Adriaan Kuiters Spring/ Summer collection was a union of strong silhouettes, minimal details and oversized proportions combined with textural prints. The collection was conceived and made in collaboration with emerging young artist Jody Paulsen.
Fuelled by the debut of womenswear, the collection touched on gender roles by creating garments that juxtaposed the rigidity and simplicity of classic menswear with lighter fabrics traditionally associated with womenswear. The inspiration for the collection was found in the practicality of basic sportswear where the use of neutral colour heightened a focus on layering, shape and proportion. Exaggerated unisex silhouettes of silk and jersey were contrasted by stiffer fabrics such as linen, twill and leather that created structured looks. These architectural pieces were intended to be weightless and volumous, permitting space between the body and garment. The spirit of this collection promoted effortlessness, optimism and pride in individuality.
The prints used in this collection included artful plays on fur, textural graphite drawings, squeegee paintings and analogue photography. These prints were inspired by fine art traditions motivated by the use of IZIKO South African National Gallery as a venue for the collection showing.

Before I get too far into this review, I want to put out a disclaimer of sorts. I am not a huge South Park fan. I've watched only a handful of episodes in the many years the show has been around. Personally, I find the potty-mouth element distasteful, and that mars the humor for me. That said, this is a video game review, and I certainly enjoyed the South Park tower defense game quite a bit, so I did my best to approach this title with an open mind. South Park lovers may disagree, but coming from a non-fan's perspective, I believe Tenorman's Revenge is a below average game at best.
I have a long list of negatives and complaints, but there are a few things that the developers did right. Perhaps most important was using the voices from the show; creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone contributed their talents. The cut scenes that deliver the story are top notch, looking exactly like an episode of the show. In a bit of meta humor, the titular antagonist, Tenorman, has stolen the hard drive to Cartman's Xbox 360. The four buddies must chase Tenorman through time in order to recover the precious device. (I guess Cartman doesn't use cloud saves.)
Other than the voice actors, and the presentation of the story, the other major highlight is the continuity of the art style. Even in the gameplay sections, the primitive animations that give the series part of its charm are in evidence. The boys walk, jump, climb, and crawl just like they would in the show. The environments and enemies wouldn't look out of place on Comedy Central. Even the game elements and icons share a similar style. It all comes together aesthetically quite nicely.
Unfortunately, the rest of Tenorman's Revenge ranges from merely boring to outright excruciating. Perhaps the most easily noticable problem is the imprecision of the controls. There are some very challenging platforming sections, where multiple exact movements are required. Trying to complete these areas with a mushy control scheme is very difficult. Difficulty on its own is not a bad thing, but when the game is hard because the controls are working against you, it just feels unfair.
Another serious problem is the size of the levels. Each level is huge, with sprawling sub-sections that often overlap. You might spend several minutes navigating a particularly tricky spot, then make a small mistake, plunging down into a previous section. Losing several minutes worth of progress because you zigged instead of zagged is no fun at all. This is particularly true when you have to repeat a section full of enemies, which have a tendency to respawn at the exact wrong time, often right on your head or where it is nearly impossible to avoid them. So large are the levels that there are loading screens when you enter doors to sub-sections, something I found quite irritating.
By far, the biggest problem in Tenorman's Revenge is the method by which you unlock new levels. To progress, you must find a set number of time cores, found scattered throughout each level. Some of these can only be obtained by specific characters. For example, you might need Stan's football toss to flip a switch, or Cartman's belly smash to remove a wall. Unfortunately, there is no swapping of characters on the fly; the fewer players there are, the more of these time cores will be tantalizingly out of your reach.
There are super hero power ups, where characters can assume their alter ego to get to special areas. If you come upon a section for The Coon, and you don't have Cartman in your group, that's just one more time core you will lack. Thus, unless you play with a full group, you will have to repeat levels often. Replayability is not a bad thing, but when it's forced in such a strongarm manner, it feels wrong. You might have to trudge through a very long level twice in order to reach a 30 second section with a new time core you need to unlock a new level. Not fun.
Local co-op supports up to four players, but there is no drop in/drop out. Online play includes up to four as well, and local players can also play online, which is always a plus. However, there is a significant amount of lag when playing online that pretty much kills the experience. Making the sluggish controls even worse leads to frustration. Apart from simultaneous play, there aren't really any teamwork focused moves or puzzles, either. Co-op feels just as lazy as the rest of the game.
Given all the problems in Tenorman's Revenge, I cannot recommend it. Those who really enjoy the show might find these issues more tolerable due to the quality of the presentation. For non-fans, the artificial difficulty, too-long levels, and boring progression system are serious problems that the merely average platforming and mundane co-op elements do not make up for.

A REVIEW is to be carried out into how Portsmouth City Council can improve opportunities for young people.
Members of the authority's economic development, culture and leisure scrutiny panel will sit to discuss how university students and those in other types of further education can get more involved in city activities.
It follows on from a request by councillors in July for the review as the city seeks to drive up aspirations.
A meeting will take place on Thursday, September 10, to discuss the plans more.
It starts at 5.30pm and will be held on the ground floor of Portsmouth's civic offices in meeting room A.
Members will also discuss who from outside of the panel should be called as part of the review to give evidence about work already being done to boost the offer for young people, and from those with new ideas. Tory councillor Jennie Brent is chairwoman of the panel.

GOOD NEWS! For Behavioral Health Counseling, NO referral or prior authorization is needed for Tricare Prime or any other Tricare Plan for beneficiaries who are dependents or retirees!!
Serving the military is not only demanding, it is also difficult and dangerous. That is why many military personnel look forward to the day when they could retire from active duty. However, returning to civilian life also presents many challenges for the men and women who spent their prime years serving in the armed forces.
The Challenges outside Military Service
There's enough reason for retirees to be concerned when they retire. The unique risks in service can have lingering consequences of psychological trauma. While these emotional health issues may or may not have been experienced DURING service, they can be triggered by different factors brought about by the transition to civilian life. These conditions may require treatment and other services that can only be provided by specialists.
Dependents of Active Duty Service members and Retirees can be prone to their own sets of issues Similar with the retirees, these conditions can be aggravated by post-service factors (in addition to DURING service factors). Difficulties are often experienced due to marital conflicts, financial problems or lack of community ties or networks. Veterans, irrespective of age, have greater chances of becoming alcohol and drug-dependent, and have higher tendency to inflict self-harm within two years after leaving service
If you're set to retire, how would you manage the future and take care of your family's well-being without making sure YOU are mentally/emotionally/physically/spiritually ok?
TRICARE Rescues the Rescuers
TRICARE offers plenty of options for retirees and dependents in terms of civilian emotional/behavioral care. Since 1966, the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services or CHAMPUS, and currently known as TRICARE, has been providing millions of dependents and retirees the health care they need. There are four main benefit plans to choose from, such as TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Extra, TRICARE Standard and TRICARE for Life. Other plans are TRICARE Young Adult, TRICARE Reserve Select and TRICARE Retired Reserve. The benefits included in each plan vary the duty status, and location of the holder.
Except for TRICARE Prime, beneficiaries of other plans are usually not required to get a referral for any type of care, although prior authorization may be required for some medical services.
Making it Easy to Obtain Help
Retirees had their fair share of difficulties being away from their families as they put their lives at risk. Experiencing physical injury and emotional trauma can cause significant psychological effect that can manifest to both retirees and their dependents.
Carolina Counseling Services understands and makes available the special support and attention required by retirees and dependents. Just call, text or send an e-mail to CCS to request an appointment. Carolina Counseling Services accepts all TRICARE plans, including TRICARE Prime, without referrals. No need to call anyone but CCS!
Confidential / Private Sessions
Carolina Counseling Services contracts with Licensed professional counselors/therapists that can continue to provide a friendly, relaxed and safe atmosphere to everyone. Carolina Counseling Services assists individuals, couples, families, and children with counseling services that will help put your life back on track. We love to work with the military and are happy to assist active duty dependents and retired military and their families.
Counseling and Therapy are often used interchangeably in our English language. The same is true for Counselor and Therapist. For us, it really doesn't matter which word you use. When you need help, it is best to talk to someone who is not only objective, but who has had lots of experience helping others who have been in similar situations as yourself. We believe that a friendly Counselor or Therapist who is trained, licensed andexperienced is the one who can assist the most. You don't have to figure it out alone. We can help. All of our therapists are licensed, friendly professionals.
If we can't help you, we will be happy to refer you to someone who can. We look forward to assisting you!!!.

BY JIM SKILLINGTON | PARADISE, CA | July 9, 2008
Weve never experienced anything like this before
Rev. Rod Platte, Paradise Lutheran Church
More than 10,000 people who live in this town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are being encouraged to evacuate as the fires draw closer and the air quality is now rated as "hazardous."
It is the second time in three weeks that residents of this Butte County community of more than 50,000 have been faced with a fire threat. The last time, 74 homes were destroyed. On Tuesday, as many as 50 more were lost as fires raced through the town of Concow and a neighborhood known locally as Camelot.
The Rev. Bob Biehler of Paradise United Methodist Church said the "psychological impact" of this week's fires after the June fire, is weighing heavily on the minds of many people.
"We've never experienced anything like this before," said the Rev. Rod Platte of Paradise Lutheran Church. "It's a new phenomenon."
Three families in his congregation lost their homes when the fires burned into the southeastern edge of the city in June. Tuesday, as the temperatures reached 110-degrees and ashes rained down like snow, a local family was temporarily living an air-conditioned Sunday School classroom. "People are tired of living on the edge . . ." waiting . . . Platte added.
As firefighters tried to ward off the flames and emergency officials set mandatory and precautionary evacuation zones, local pastors were checking on members of their congregations and making sure each of them had a safe place to go. Two shelters were opened in local churches Tuesday for Paradise area residents.
Telling residents in the mandatory evacuation areas if "you've been told to leave, don't stay," Paradise's Director of Emergency Services, Chuck Rough added, there won't be a "last minute knock on the door to get out."
Located in the mandatory evacuation area, the Feather River Hospital moved critically ill patients during the day Tuesday and was evacuating most of the rest of the hospital Tuesday night.
The Butte County fires had been burning in largely unpopulated areas for nearly three weeks when they exploded and changed direction early Tuesday morning as the fires began burning out of control toward more populated areas.
Tuesday night, emergency officials were using bulldozers to widen a firebreak and hoping the fire would stay east of a branch of the Feather River. But forecasters were not encouraging, warning of increasing eastern winds that could potentially drive the fire into the city and emergency management officials expanded the immediate threat evacuation zone late Tuesday night.
Other Butte County communities including Jonesville and Butte Meadows have also been evacuated. Emergency officials evacuated a nearby Boy Scout camp.
But even as local citizens keep a wary eye on the fires, residents of neighboring communities have been reaching out to help. "I've really been kind of astounded by the response," Platte said. "People have been calling and asking 'what can we do?'" A church in San Diego sent a batch of food gift cards to distribute to fire survivors.
Meanwhile, along the California coast, firefighters reported progress fighting two massive wildfires near Santa Barbara and Big Sur. Many residents who had been forced from their homes near Santa Barbara were allowed to go home Tuesday

A native of California and Washington, Uriel's wide range of experience covers federal, state, and local affairs in the areas of government, policy, community engagement, and communication. His background brings more than a decade of experience building relationships, serving communities, and leading on issues through his various roles in the public sector.
Prior to his consideration by the National Urban Fellows, Uriel worked on the Government Relations team of the Washington State teacher's union. As an advocate for the largest union in the state, he helped the organization's leaders develop political strategy for the 2016 campaign cycle. Before joining the teachers' union, Uriel served as Deputy Chief of Staff and External Affairs to the Mayor of Seattle. As a member of the Executive team, he led the development and rollout of the organizational structure of the Mayor's executive governance team. In this capacity, Uriel oversaw the executive budget and developed internal operating policies to enable core functions and achieve objectives. He also acted as primary liaison between the Mayor and community representatives and public stakeholders, leading and executing community strategy for the Mayor's office on a wide range of high-visibility and high-impact issues. His work and support enabled the nationally historic Seattle Mayoral Office accomplishment of a citywide $15 an hour pay requirement.
Before arriving at the Mayor's office, he served as a Regional Director and Statewide Latino Community/LGBT Community Coordinator for the U.S. Senate, Office of Senator Patty Murray. In this role, Uriel provided strategic support to the Senator's activities and legislative agenda by building strong relationships with her constituency through effective stakeholder management strategy and translating issues into effective and measurable political results. His work as the Senator's liaison to local communities helped stop racial profiling at the Canadian border, resulting in a change of executive policy at the Department of Homeland Security. Uriel also championed support for LGBT issues including DADT repeal, marriage equality, and LGBT inclusion in the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization as well as Comprehensive Immigration Reform efforts.
Uriel graduated from the University of Southern California earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations. He also received an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts from Marymount College, completing part of this course work in the United Kingdom. As a member of the National Urban Fellows Class of 2017 and candidate for a Masters of Public Administration, Uriel plans to build on his experience to continue to commit himself to ensure that representation on all levels of government, public systems, and policy reflect the diversity of the communities they serve.

NEW YORK - Exxon Mobil Corp. disclosed details Wednesday of an oil and gas field that could prove to be one of the largest discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico in recent years.
The oil giant said three discoveries at its exploration project 250 miles southwest of New Orleans have the combined potential for more than 700 million barrels of recoverable oil and gas equivalent.
Louisiana congressional delegation members hailed the find, the first since the Obama administration issued a five-month ban on drilling instituted after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil leak.
Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, spent some of his day Wednesday pumping gas at a Chevron station in his district to emphasize the near-$4-a-gallon price of gas.
"In order to lower the price of gas at the pump and decrease our dependence on Middle Eastern oil, it is vital that we are allowed to explore safely for our own domestic resources, while creating thousands of high-paying jobs in the process," Scalise said in a statement.
Argus Research analyst Phil Weiss said he couldn't recall a discovery reported recently that was on Exxon's scale.
He said there are some deep-water wells of significant size in the region, including Chevron Corp.'s Tahiti project with an estimated total recoverable resources of 400 million to 500 million barrels of oil and gas equivalent.
BP has a stake in a number of wells such as the Tiber project, which is expected to be one of the largest discoveries in the U.S.
Weiss said BP hasn't announced how much it will be able to recover yet.
BP also operates Thunder Horse, a deep-water well designed to process 250,000 barrels of oil per day.
Exxon said plans to drill last year were halted after the U.S. imposed a temporary ban on deep-water drilling because of the devastating oil leak in the Gulf south of Louisiana.
The company adjusted its drilling plan to meet new federal guidelines and regulators approved its permit on March 22.
Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, of New Iberia, sits on the House Natural Resources Committee that recently authored legislation expanding drilling and quickening the permit process.
"I'm not surprised Exxon found oil where it said it would find oil," Landry said in a statement. If the Obama administration "would be more proactive in removing barriers rather than impeding the permitting process - especially when it involves companies who have proven to drill safely in the Gulf of Mexico like Exxon - then we would be further down the road in weaning America off foreign oil and reducing our energy prices."
The latest well was drilled in 7,000 feet of water and is continuing to explore deeper.
Steve Greenlee, president of ExxonMobil Exploration Co., said more than 700 million barrels of oil equivalent could be tapped by underwater wells in the region.
In May, Noble Energy Inc. announced it had discovered oil as part of a continuing drilling operation in the Gulf.
Exxon is the operator and majority owner of the Keathley Canyon well. Eni Petroleum US and Petrobras America Inc. hold minority stakes in the operation.

Performance Trust Capital Partners
Performance Trust does over 100 education events each year, each of which previous came with a dedicated set of paperwork. Maps, schedules, biographies, evaluations and certificates for redemption. Finances may be long-defined by mountains of paperwork, but there's no reason Performance Trust University needs to be so encumbered. For this reason, we designed them an app to help guide their attendees to these events, to the after parties, and through the various forms that needed completion. The biggest challenge on this project wasn't so much the design or the functionality, or even entering in the mountains of content; it was strictly adhering to SEC privacy guidelines.

We had a wonderful time in Siberia. We toured to different towns and I gave a lot of prophetic training, namely Spiritual Gifts and Accurate Stature in the
Prophetic, and some Church Planting and Missions academy subjects. There were a lot of breakthroughs in different churches, especially at the main church in Prokopyevsk (Pastor Oleg Novotorzhina's church). There was a
tremendous breakthrough in a men's Flags class. In the prophetic classes there were healings and a flow of words of knowledge. I see that people began to see
the heart of this ministry more than just seeing it as an art school. We are now in Moscow for two weeks, having meetings with Armenian Pastors. Louise,
Lourens and Irenie are teaching at the ACE school this week. Pray for us as we build contacts and relationships with the Armenian church leaders.
In my first week in Prokopyevsk, I did a flag dance in the church on the song: "God of this city" (The Russian version). This opened the hearts of the men of the church to learn a bit more about dance; something we have been trusting God for a long time. Last week I finally had the opportunity to get a couple of the men together (about 20) - and they danced!!!! A lot of people were very surprised at how the men were willing to just do this—and they didn't do it because they had to. They were enjoying worshiping God through dance. This is not normal for a Russian man. It is not in their culture and they have been resisting for a few years, but God opened up the people's hearts and He did His work. At a stage God's presence was so strong, that the people in the art class, taking place downstairs on the other side of the church, felt His presence. I prayed quite a lot for the class, and asked our prayer team in Bloemfontein to pray with. We prayed that God will take over the class, and He did. Nothing I did could have brought a breakthrough like the one that took place. Praise the Lord!!!! We are now in Moscow spending the next 4 weeks at a Christian school. The school is quite unique in the aspect that majority of the students are the children of politicians and other 'high-up' people. It is also unique because it has about 5% Christian students, and 95% Muslims, Buddhists etc. Some of the children crept into my heart during the first 5 minutes. Others tested my character like it has not been tested for a long time. If I was allowed to send children out of my class, some of the classes would be left with about 5 kids. I am taking up the challenge to show these kids God's unconditional love. If they have not received Christ after 6 years of reading scriptures every week and hearing the truth daily, then I will do my best to love them into the kingdom. I have seen how prayer brings breakthroughs where it seems impossible, so I will also be spending quite some time on my knees. Please pray with us! Lourens Strydom
My Name Is Paul (in Arabic Boulos) Aqleh. I was born in Jerusalem but live in Bethlehem. God Called me to join Creare for one year in 2004. He gave me the gift of music and allowed me to come to South Africa to improve my musical talents. Now I play 6 instruments mostly piano, guitar and Gembe. My family and I started a home church in 2006 after I returned home from South Africa. It is a blessing to the community. In 2008 God led us to start a Christian hostel and we called it House of Peace. It is 5 minutes away from the birth place of Jesus. I help my parents with it. In 2011 I got married to Ieva from Latvia - she is also a musician like me but has a better voice than me, so I thank God for fulfilling my dream to record an album in 2014. It is called "O Jesus Come". After a few months of finishing this project God blessed us with our first daughter, Trevina, which means "triangle of beauty" (name taken from Romans 16:12). At the moment I play piano in different churches in Bethlehem and by God's Grace He has opened a door to organize pilgrimage trips to the Holy Land at a low budget in order to help believers to come at a low cost. I pray God makes us a blessings to the nations that come from all over the world - that they will experience God in a deeper level! It is called GO Deeper Tours. I often remember South Africa and hope to visit soon with my family. Warm Blessings from Bethlehem - The Holy Land!!
A few weeks ago on Thursday, my grandpa who was sick but had begun to recover, suddenly passed away. The circumstances were not pleasant and so we were quite broken. That Friday morning, my uncle asked me to announce his passing, so I wrote a tribute on Facebook and afterward saw that my day word was "Open Letter". On the Saturday we drove through to the family and I asked God for a scripture that would bring comfort. I immediately felt to read Mark 12:24-27…which I did not know from memory. It said that those who die are like angels in heaven and that God is the God of the living, not the dead. Wow! This encouraged us so much, being reminded Grandpa is alive and with God. My day word for Sunday was "God in my living!", and for Monday "Encourage your mother". After all this, the world changed for me, and I realised life cannot be perfect and though we all will go through seemingly unbearable pain as life moves along, this is how beautiful God is, that He always knows what we are facing, that He has overcome death, and that He carries us through.Monique Foster
I started doing outreaches at the Police station, the clinic and specific farms. We also started with a "church service" every Saturday morning at the farm where I work. I marvel at the people's openness, hunger for God and their reactions to the Word of God and testimonies I share. Please pray that it will grow and influence the community. We also started with a bootcamp at the church, to get our bodies in line and fit but also as an outreach tool. This week, a man who never goes to church, joined, and exercised in church on "Christian music".

We have been sharing some Courtship principles with the Youth Group. We testified from our own lives and the youngsters really took an interest and spoke to their parents. One specific family approached us and said they want to do the course, Courtship, with us. We organized a date and nine families attended—families we have never met. As we presented Courtship to them, they were all so open. It was amazing to do this with the whole family and not just with the specific individuals. These families were truly impacted and we are seeing a culture change, as the youth are starting to be more accountable to us and their parents regarding relationships. Pray for the Youth of our country, but more than that, go and impact them with the testimony of your life.

" I had a friend who asked me to pray with her and trust God's guidance with a new Job opportunity. The word that kept buzzing in my spirit was 'Transparency'. I told her that God is sending her there ti bring an example of trabnsparancy in the company. She was encouraged to go ahead with accepting the job offer, as it confirmed what Father was telling her about it. Her first day on the Job, she was so encourages that she is exactly where God wants her in this time "

This French film (my version is dubbed) is very character-driven with a fast-paced mystery that keeps you on your toes. It is about four men who share a prison cell and the black magic they unlock. Marcus is a transvestite, only about half way through the gender changing process. He has huge breasts, but this domineering guy is man everywhere else. His little shadow is Paquerette, a dim-witted, idiot savant. Paquerette eats everything in sight, including his infant sister. Carrère is there because he has committed some sort of white collar, corporate crime. And lastly there is Lassalle who is the quiet intellectual who has killed his wife. These quirky and bizarre characters are so intriguing; so much so, that I wish the film had time to expand on their back stories a little more. These characters really drive the plot forward.
Carrère is the newest member of this twisted family. Soon after his arrival, he discovers an old journal behind the brick of his bunk. The journal belongs to a serial killer named Charles Danver. He was so obsessed with youth that he began killing pregnant women for placentas before he was imprisoned in 1920. Carrère reads a passage from the journal only to realize that he has awakened some form a black magic. The inmates work together to uncover the mystery, hoping the spells will lead to an escape from their wretched cell. Unfortunately, the journal contains something much more sinister.
This is a really unique film and it is a joy to watch with such a fascinating plot, but it leaves much to be desired with some unanswered questions. There seems to be a theme about losing limbs in this film that is intriguing but goes unexplained. I wouldn't call this a horror movie but there are some horror elements, especially when it comes to a particular body mutilation scene of arms and legs twisting by an invisible force until the body collapses and crumbles into a bloody heap. My biggest issue, though, is that I want to know MORE. More about everything. Especially serial killer, Danver, and his sick story. Regardless, Maléfique has one of the more inventive plots I have seen in a while. Those who like fantasy genre films should enjoy this one.
