It's football in May, let the overreaction begin! All kidding aside, we'll get our first chance to view the 2017 Saints on Thursday. It's only the first week of OTA's, so any observations should be met with caution. It's still way early in the process. Nonetheless, with the roster now set, this team has significant questions at certain positions. We broke down the top four.
4.) Long Snapper
Chase Dominguez
Jesse Schmitt
It's isn't sexy, but it is crucial. The Saints made sweeping changes to their special teams coaching staff and it appears they did the same with some personnel. The team has moved on from Justin Drescher and brought in two long snappers with zero NFL experience. They signed Schmitt in January and brought Dominguez on as an undrafted free agent. Of all the position groups, this is easily the most wide- open. No one really knows much about either player.
3.) Defensive End
Cam Jordan
Hau'Oli Kikaha
Darryl Tapp
Alex Okafor
Trey Hendrickson
Al-Quadin Muhammad
Mitchell Loewen
Royce LaFrance
Obum Gwacham
Jordan has been an anchor on one end of the Saints defensive line for quite some time now but has long needed a running mate on the opposite side. The Saints addressed that in the draft but didn't do so until their final two picks of Hendrickson and Muhammad. They also brought in Okafor via free agency, who signed a 'bet on myself' one-year contract. That worked out well for the Saints last season with Nick Fairley; the hope is the same will be done with Okafor.
The wild card here is Kikaha. Between college and the pros, he's now torn his ACL three different times. But, when healthy, Kikaha contributed well in 2015 and could add quality depth to the defensive line.
2.) Cornerback
Delvin Breaux
P.J. Williams
Damian Swann
Marshon Lattimore
Sterling Moore
Ken Crawley
De'Vante Harris
Arthur Maulet
Anthony Gaitor
Taveze Calhoun
Injuries depleted what looked like a strong cornerback unit last year. This year, the Saints added numbers to the position once again. If healthy, Delvin Breaux is likely one starter. The question comes opposite of him. The Saints drafted Marshon Lattimore, the top cornerback in the draft, and brought back Sterling Moore. Swann and Williams both showed flashes but both have sustained serious injuries in each of their first two seasons. They'll have to prove they can stay healthy. Crawley and Harris both earned roster spots last year; Maulet was one of the club's most coveted undrafted free agents this year.
There's also the question of the Saints' nickel defense. Last year, they employed the 'heavy nickel' scheme which utilized three safeties instead of three cornerbacks. Coach Payton hinted at the possibility of going to a more traditional nickel this season depending on personnel. In today's NFL, the nickel corner is essentially a starter.
1.) Linebacker
Stephone Anthony
Alex Anzalone
Adam Bighill
Dannell Ellerbe
Travis Feeney
A.J. Klein
Craig Robertson
Nate Stupar
Manti Te'o
Your guess is as good as mine. The Saints added quantity this offseason in hopes of adding quality to the linebacker position this season. They drafted Anzalone, signed Klein and Te'o in free agency and brought in Bighill from the CFL.
No player is tied to any specific position. New LB coach Mike Nolan will have plenty of players available to find the right combination. In particular, I'll be curious to see if Nolan can resurrect Stephone Anthony, who struggled mightily in year two. If he can't, the Saints may be forced to move on from their former first round pick.

When one thinks of California, images of a sun-kissed paradise or energy-efficient urban utopia immediately spring to mind. It would come as a great surprise to many, then, that the great state of California is not as pretty as it seems. Hidden between these sparkling gems of civilization are strange towns, tiny rural settlements and crumbling cities that have taken a turn for the worse with the evolution of society. Bakersfield, CA is one of those cities. While a startlingly high rate of crime and unemployment are already perilous grounds to tread, the besieged city of Bakersfield suffers from an inordinate amount of air pollution. While oil refineries, factories and other industrial endeavors have brought the city modest financial success, Bakersfield regularly pays a steep price. Emissions from such a wide variety of sources have earned Bakersfield the reputation of the most polluted city in the United States of America. Now, with the looming menace of the Trump administration in full swing, experts fear the pollution problem is about to worsen exponentially.
While the constant pollution in the atmosphere can make Bakersfield seem like something out of Mad Max, there have been small, incremental improvements in environmentally-conscious legislature. The field of agriculture has taken the brunt of the burden as of late, experiencing reduced burning of dry plant matter and downgrades in farming equipment. Unfortunately, the appointment of one Scott Pruitt, to the head of the EPA, has threatened to put a damper on all eco-friendly progress. Pruitt, who is a vehement climate change-denier and opponent to any and all air quality regulations, has no qualms in undoing the previously implemented regulations and replacing them with lax guidelines that would only serve to worsen the air pollution problem in Bakersfield. A proposed increase in industrial activity, which already makes up roughly 80% of the pollution in the city, would further worsen the situation.
Things are looking grim in Bakersfield, and one can only hope there is a clear, smog and haze-free light at the end of the tunnel. Only time will tell.

Welfare Team and Peer Support
The JCR welfare team exists to provide members of college with emotional support on any kind of issue they may be having. The Welfare reps on the JCR committee work alongside members of the peer support team to ensure the wellbeing of the college. Each member of the peer support team, and the welfare reps themselves, are students at Worcester college who have received 30 hours of training in effective listening and peer support from the Oxford University Counselling Service. The welfare and peer support teams run two drop-in sessions run every week. Alternatively, you can get in touch with one of the welfare reps on the JCR committee, who will be happy to talk to you about anything at a convenient time, or put you in contact with another peer supporter.
Sessions are one-to-one and strictly confidential, and with the Worcester peer support team also having links to Keble College, we can put you in touch with a peer supporter from another college if that would make you more comfortable.
In addition to the listening service, the welfare team also runs weekly sessions of Tea at Three in the Nazrin Shah. Traditionally these have taken place at 3pm on a Wednesday (with a second wave of food at 3.45pm), but the day may be set to alternate in order to accommodate more of the JCR body. You need not have an issue or a worry at Tea at Three, the welfare team will be present to talk to anyone but many members of the college use Tea at Three simply as a relaxed break from work to meet with friends and enjoy some free snacks!
In addition to Tea at Three, welfare intends to put on a few one-off events throughout the year (movie nights, welfare walks etc.).
Finally, in the interest of promoting sexual health, the welfare team is able to provide a free condom service via the email firstname.lastname@example.com. Simply send an email and the welfare will discretely and confidentially leave a free condom in your pidge.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP)- Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has made his first indication that he supports moving the Pawtucket Red Sox from Rhode Island to Worcester.
• 11/7/17 Associated Press report: Worcester hires consultants to help in effort to lure PawSox
More PawSox
• 8/8/17 Associated Press report: Worcester mayor makes push to land Pawtucket Red Sox
• 7/25/17 Associated Press report: Pawtucket Red Sox brass meet with Worcester city officials
• 7/19/17 Boston 25 News report: Pawtucket Red Sox headed north? Some Worcester residents hope so
The Telegram & Gazette reports that Baker said he believes Worcester has an opportunity and the state will do what it can to help. He made the comments last week to the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The Republican governor said after the speech Friday that state assistance could come through infrastructure and public investment, such as what is done for housing projects or commercial development. He did not specify a dollar amount.
Rhode Island officials are considering an $83 million proposal to build a new stadium in Pawtucket for the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, but Worcester is also interested.

David Cronenberg is obviously a directing genius, but I don't think I was able to fully appreciate him until my mid-twenties. I wasn't even born yet when he was coming out with The Brood, Scanners, or Videodrome, but I definitely enjoyed watching them as a child, in horror and delight. His films are complex and ragingly original, a fact that I was unaware of at the tender age of 12. My love for his older films has been rejuvenated, and though I still can't manage to understand all of his multifaceted intellect, I revel in it just the same.
The Fly was one of my favorite films as a kid, a fact that I now realize to be pretty darn strange- but to each, their own. Having watched this recently and reading an awesome interview with David Cronenberg in a back issue of Rue Morgue, I decided to delve further. I watched The Brood, for the first time I'm embarrassed to say, just a week ago. It's not even a week later and I am watching it again. Some older horror movies we love, even if they aren't that good, because they remind us of our childhood. But this one is different. Despite this film being made 20 years ago, the shock factor is still as strong as the day it came out. I am a new found fan of The Brood and I am loving it!
Frank is separated from his wife Nola, who is currently at a facility for intense psychotherapy with Dr. Raglan. Their young daughter, Candy, splits her time between the two parents. Frank begins to question Dr. Raglan's ethics when he notices bruising on Candy, believing Nola to be unstable and dangerous. Dr. Raglan is experimenting with a new type of psychotherapy called Pschoplasmis – a treatment that involves Dr. Raglan acting as a crucial member to his patients, (i.e. their mother, father, husband, wife, and so forth) to create breakthroughs in past momentous or tragic events, bringing unresolved issues to the surface for exposure.
Nola's mother and father are both brutally killed by nasty mutant midget people. At first glance, I thought this was going to be very similar to the 1973 film, Don't Look Now, which also has a midget killer in a red coat. But this is not the case. An autopsy shows one of these little creatures to be a deformed child with a lack of sexual organs and no belly button. No belly button means this thing was never born, well at least not in the conventional sense that human beings are born. This knowledge prompts Frank to probe deeper into the unconventional methods of Dr. Raglan, believing there to be some link to these tragic deaths.
If you haven't seen this film, bear with it. It does start out a little slow and doesn't traditionally seem like a horror movie. But just give it time because the last 30 minutes are intensely brilliant. As a viewer, connections between these two plots seem illogical, but just trust Cronenberg's mastermind process. You will be pleasantly horrified! The scene where Nola is licking a new-born bloodied infant is one of the foulest and disturbing scenes I have ever seen! There is a reason why David Cronenberg is called the King of Venereal Horror; and this is it.

WD TV: HD media playback done right
Update: Now with video thumbnails!
After quietly showing up on electronic retailers' shelves/websites last month, the WD TV HD Media Player has made quite a splash, garnering solid reviews from the likes of CrunchGear, real consumers (see Amazon / Newegg reviews), and now Boilr. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to watch all the digital media you have amassed/ripped/stored on an external USB device (i.e. hard drive or thumb drive), look no further.
Having recently bought and immediately returned a similar product (the Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link to be exact) due to its terrible interface, horrible playback, and lack of codec support, I had pretty low expectations for Western Digital's foray into the digital-media-player-standalone-box segment. However, after reading enough positive (and convincing) reviews, I decided to give this little badboy a go…and I have not been disappointed.
The tiny black box hooks up via HDMI (and optional optical audio connections) for true digital HD playback. It features support for most every video codec under the sun and a number of audio codecs. There are 2 USB slots for external drives (hard/flash) making it really convenient if you want to have a primary media hard drive always connected while leaving the spare hook-up for other USB drives. The included remote feels solid and is very intuitive.
I've been using/testing the unit for about a week and I can happily report that I've had little to no issues with it. A new firmware was released and I was able to install it without a hitch. Video playback has been about 99% perfect with all of the file types I've thrown at it. While the audio and photo features work as well, I've not done much in the way of testing as that is not my primary goal for this device. For a more in depth review, head over to CG.
All in all, this ~ $100 product lives up to its new-found hype, delivering reliable HD media playback with an attractive and easy to use interface. The only real complaint I have so far (which I will hopefully be addressed in a future firmware update) is in regards to power management. Currently, when the device is plugged in (whether turned on or off) it continues to power attached USB devices as opposed to cutting the power when the box is off. If WD fixes this issue (which I temporarily "fix" by unplugging the hard drive), than they've got a real winner on their hands.

Serves 4
By Head Chef, Tony Shaw
- 4 x 200g Hake Fillet
- 1 knob of butter
- Sea salt & black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 bunches of Asparagus (3/4 spears per person)
For the Truffle Hollandaise
- 4 x egg yolks
- 25ml white wine vinegar
- 4 whole black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 banana shallots, finely sliced
- 250g unsalted butter
- 25g truffle oil or if you can afford to treat yourself use 1g of grated black truffle(
For the stuffed Razor Clams
- 4 x razor clams
- 25ml White wine
- Crushed clove of Garlic
- Sprig of Thyme
- 100g smoked pancetta
- 50g broad beans
- 50g samphire
- Shallots from making truffle hollandaise
Prepare and blanch the asparagus:
Cut an inch off the bottom off the stem, then peel the asparagus and blanch in salted water for 3 minutes. Refresh in iced water ready to be cooked later.
Make the truffle mayonnaise:
Start by melting the butter slowly in a pan, leave to stand. Skim the top of the butter and retain, discard the milky excess in the bottom of the pan.
Put the white wine vinegar, peppercorns, bay leaf and shallots in a pan and cook until soft. Take the shallots out and retain as these will be used later in the Razor Clam stuffing. Strain the liquid and leave to cool.
Add the cooled liquid to a metal bowl with the egg yolks and whisk until light and fluffy then put in a bain marie and slowly whisk in the melted butter until you get an emulsion, add the truffle oil or chopped black truffle (if using).
Prepare the Razor Clams and filling:
Steam the razor clams in the white wine, garlic and thyme until the shells open. Take the clam out of the shell (keep the shells as these will be used for holding the stuffing) and finely slice.
Blanch the broad bean in salted boiling water, drain and refresh in iced water and then pod.
Slice the pancetta into lardons and pan fry until crispy.
Mix all the ingredients – sliced clams, broad beans, crispy pancetta and the shallots retained from making the Hollandaise sauce. Use to fill the razor clam shell.
Chargrill the Asparagus:
Heat up a griddle pan over a medium heat. Coat the asparagus with olive oil and place on the griddle. Griddle for 4-5 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking, or until golden-brown griddle marks appear on the asparagus
Cook the Hake:
Season the Hake with sea salt and black pepper and put straight into a non stick frying pan skin side down with a little olive oil. Cook for approx 3 minutes until the skin is nice and crispy, flip over add a knob of butter to finish and colour.
You are now ready to plate up.

Four Seasons in Provence
At the peak of summer Provence is a must-see for tourists dreaming of lavender fields, rosé wine, endless alfresco lunches, golden beaches and buzzing music festivals.
But, as Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence revealed, this part of the world is beautiful, fascinating, maddening, surprising and entirely irresistible all year round.
And, if you have the choice, midsummer in Provence, with its sweltering heat, constant risk of forest fires, choked-up motorways and sky-high prices, is far from the best time to come - even though, as our summer page suggests, it still has quite a bit to recommend it!
This section tours all four seasons in Provence, helping you plan your trip and - we hope - inspiring you to discover our region away from the crowds. Scroll down the page to discover our guides.
And, if you're planning a trip to Provence in 2018, it's wise to check the dates of France's public holidays (jours feriés).
Road traffic will be very busy around these times, rail, ferry and air fares will be more expensive, hotels will be more booked up and many shops will be closed, especially in small towns and villages. So you might want to plan your travel to avoid these days.
May is a particular bottleneck and in some years there are four bank holidays in this month. Some are are secular, some (despite France's insistence on the separation of Church and State) are religious.
The ones around Easter are moveable feasts, of course, but many other holidays in France are fixed dates. So, if they fall on a Sunday, the Monday will be a normal working day.
On the other hand, if they fall on a Thursday or a Tuesday, many French people will take an extra day off to make it a long weekend (this is referred to as "faire le pont" - "bridging the gap").
Here are the public holidays in France for 2018:
Monday 1 January - New Year's Day (le Jour de l'An)
Monday 2 April - Easter Monday (lundi de Pâques)
Tuesday 1 May - Labour Day (la Fête du travail). Despite the name, no-one works on this day and shops and supermarkets remain closed - they don't even have Sunday opening hours! The custom in France is to offer friends and family a sprig of lily of the valley for good luck and you'll see these on sale everywhere.
Tuesday 8 May - VE Day (la Fête de la Victoire - though this day is generally just known as "le huit mai"). It marks the surrender of the Nazis in Europe and General de Gaulle's victory speech. There is likely to be some sort of patriotic parade or other commemoration in most French towns.
Thursday 10 May – Feast of the Ascension. This is the day when Christians believe Jesus ascended into heaven.
Monday 21 May - Whit Monday / Pentecost (lundi de Pentecôte) Another Christian festival celebrating the descent of the Holy Ghost upon Christ's disciples.
Saturday 14 July - Bastille Day (la Fête Nationale). France's national holiday marks the beginning of the Revolution with the storming of the Bastille prison on 14 July 1789. No-one here seems to call it Bastille Day, though!
It's usually referred to as "le quatorze juillet" or "la fête nationale" and is the pretext for showers of fireworks lighting up the skies.
In 2016 on this day, 86 people died in a terrorist attack at the display in Nice, so expect the shadow of this memory to be cast over future celebrations.
Wednesday 15 August - Feast of the Assumption (l'Assomption). The day when Christians believe the Virgin Mary ascended into heaven. This public holiday has its origins in 1638, when King Louis XIII vowed to consecrate France to the Virgin Mary if his wife (who was pregnant) gave birth to a son and heir. The future Louis XIV came along a few months later and the rest is history.
There are some fervent religious processions on this day, especially in Marseille, pictured.
Provence also celebrates the anniversary of the Allied Forces' landings in Toulon and Marseille on 14-15 August 1945 and the beginning of the Liberation from the Nazis.
Expect fireworks and spectacular aerial displays in Marseille and Toulon by the Patrouille de France, the Air Force's crack aerobatics team.
Thursday 1 November - All Saints' Day (La Toussaint). A Christian festival in honour of all the saints. The French honour their dead on this day and it is traditional to lay white chrysanthemums on family graves (never offer these flowers as a gift, by the way!)
Half-term holidays in Provence fall around this time. The North American tradition of Halloween is rapidly gaining popularity too.
Sunday 11 November - Armistice Day (l'Armistice). This marks the end of the First World War in 1918. Whereas VE Day has a celebratory tone, the 11 November is, as elsewhere in Europe and North America, a sombre day to remember and honour the fallen.
Tuesday 25 December - Christmas Day (Noël). No explanation needed! Click here to read all about celebrating Christmas in Provence.

you have a lot of quilt barns in WI don't you. I have rarely seen any in Arkansas - if I have seen any that is - now that I think of it I am not sure if I have seen any here or if they were in neighboring states.

Store Bay Holiday Resort - Reader Reports & Opinion
Guest Report
Laurie Thoms from U.S.A. visited in February 2008 and awarded
I really enjoyed staying here... practically next door to the airport. It is rather basic, but meets your needs if you aren't someone who expects alot. The bed was ok, but the tv was good... and the kitchen is a nice feature. The location can't be beat -- very near to restaurants, shops and walking distance to the beach. I would stay there again.
Guest Report
Alan Rambaran from U.K. visited in July 2007 and awarded
This resort cater mainly for locals ie Trinidadians and the standard is perhaps not geared up for overseas tourist who expect something more up market. It's ok as a base or somewhere to sleep. Outside their is two bars which can be a bit noisey at times. The staff are nice, friendly and helpful.
Guest Report
Kim Muller from Canada visited in June 2007 and awarded
We stayed at the Store Bay Resort on June 23/24, 2007. The rate was $TT380 per night (around $50CAD) so we weren't expecting the Hilton. The hotel is in a very convenient location, less than 5 minute walk from the airport and Store Bay Beach, ample parking, private and clean pool area, nice sun deck on the upper level and very amicable staff who allowed us to check in at 10am and check out at 2pm. We felt quite secure at this establishment.
Ours was a self catering room (205) with fridge, stove, table and chairs, etc. and a separate bedroom area with a small but comfortable double bed, nice cold A/C, and cable TV. The bathroom was quite shabby but the towels were clean and the shower produced a good supply of hot water. We didnt use the small private deck on the one side of our room because the larger sun deck was on the other side with nicer chairs and even a double swinging chair.
Be advised that if youre looking for a quiet place to stay this is not the place. But, if youre into liming with the locals until 2 am on a Friday or Saturday night, youll enjoy yourself here. Lot's of eateries in the immediate vacinity so you won't go hungry.
Basically - no frills but good value for the cost.
Guest Report
Mellissa Peony from Trinidad visited in April 2007 and awarded
I made reservations at this hotel but we canceled our trip way ahead in advance because we couldn't make it.....after some time i decided to get a refund of my money and after several attempts to contact the manager she informed me that they never made a log of my cancellation so therefore she refused to give me my money back.....these people are a total rip off because its my word against some worker who didn't do her job...this is bad service to the max
Guest Report
Nerissa from U.K. visited in February 2007 and awarded
I stayed at the Store Bay Holiday Resort for two nights in February 2007.
The service was first class, even when we turned up about 11pm because our flight was delayed. At all other times, staff were also very friendly and informative.
We had booked this accommodation because we were with a group of friends and this place seemed to provide the ideal combination of excellent location and price, although we did wonder what the rooms would be like given the location and price :)
The accommodation consists of a number of apartment style rooms, the smaller ones with kitchenettes, and the larger with fuller kitchens. The design of the property is such that the apartments open onto wide verandahs with comfortable seating overlooking a small green area, or the pool. There is a large sun deck area upstairs. The pool, downstairs, also has a good number of sun loungers around it, and the pool itself is a very good size, allowing me to be able to swim short lengths (I would say somewhere around 25 or 30ft long but this is very much a guess). There is parking available on the property.
Some of our party stayed in the one bedroom apartments. Another four of us stayed in a two-bedroom apartment, with both bedrooms opening onto a room in the middle that housed the kitchen and dining area. Outside our front door was a verandah which overlooked the pool. Each bedroom was simply but very comfortably furnished, with airconditioning, and cable tv. The ensuite bathrooms were adequate but felt a little more dated, slightly scruffy in appearance but clean.
We did not use the kitchen facilities in our apartment.
The location is about a five minute walk from the airport. The minimart, internet cafe and a few other shops are within about a two minute walk. Several restaurants and bars are within a 10 minute walk.
I also stayed at Rovanels (just for one night) in Feb 2007 - I'll add comments to that listing.
I stayed at Toucan Inn in September 2006 - will add comments there also.

Its mid-January, and lets be honest – most of us have New Years resolutions that are now long gone. (Those of you who have kept it up, way to go!!) Luckily for us, fellow slackers, Lent is less than a month away! You may be saying "wait, how is that lucky?" Lent can be the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate our motivation to be the best versions of ourselves as God intended! Take your New Years resolution, and examine how you can turn it into a Lenten sacrifice.
What New Years resolution did you make? Did you resolve to exercise more? During Lent, perhaps offer up your exercising (and subsequent suffering) for souls in Purgatory, or someone with a serious illness. Did you choose to eat more healthily? Skip eating out this Lent, and give the money you would have spent to a local food pantry or charity. Did you decide to read more? Pick up the Bible or another spiritual book and read a chapter each day in Lent!
Lastly, remember that we were created to be in community, and "where two or more are gathered in My name, there I am in their midst." We will be greatly more successful at keeping our Lenten resolutions when we have an accountability partner! Find a friend who will walk with you this Lent, and help each other to stick with your chosen sacrifices all the way until Easter!
Better yet, don't wait until Lent starts — let's begin our daily commitments today!
COMMENT BELOW – What are your ideas for "Lenten resolutions?" Who will you be asking to pray and walk with you this Lent?
Latest Podcast Episode: Pierogies, Weightlifing and Saints
A patron saint of pierogies and weightlifting? St. Hyancith is one of my new favorite saints.
Weightlifting and the gym may seem to have nothing to do with our quest to be Catholic Heroes, but there's a lot of similarities between the church and the gym.
In this episode, I talk about how gyms work and the striking resemblance the gym can have to how the church operates. Also examined are the several characters you will run into every gym and how these characters relate to church life.

The confirmation comes after the FBI conducted law enforcement activity at the Hidalgo County Courthouse and at Delgado's Edinburg home.
Delgado's attorney, Al Alvarez, said the district judge remains in federal custody and will make his initial appearance before the court on Monday.
As CBS 4 News previously reported:
An unidentified person has been arrested after the FBI conducted a law enforcement activity at the 93rd District Court in Edinburg on Friday, according to Special Agent Michelle Lee, a spokeswoman for the FBI and Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra.
The identity of the person in custody and further details about the case will be released Monday, Lee said.
The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed they are assisting the FBI in the case.

LOCKED UP in a foreign country
A South African perspective
LOCKED UP in a foreign country is intended to WAKE UP and SHAKE UP the harsh reality of drug trafficking.
This is not another "don't do drugs" website. Rather, it is intended to give you a glimpse into the darker side of the drug business.
If you have never used or never thought about dealing drugs, some of your closest friends probably have. Drug Mules are recruited in nightclubs, at parties, pubs, on the rugby field, in the gym, university, the workplace. In fact, every social gathering has potential.
Not every drug user becomes an addict however, using some drugs can lead to addiction. Addiction can lead to becoming a mule.
For the addict who has lost everything, accumulated debts and finds themselves in a dire financial position, the offer of cash-for-a-run is a very attractive one. The going rate is between R20,000 and R35,000.
- To educate people!!
- To put as much pressure as it takes on the SA Government to SIGN onto the existing worldwide multi-lateral Prisoner Transfer Agreement and extradite it's people!!

DIA believes that Trips Week should serve the purpose of making the student body more international minded and better global citizens. A global citizen is someone who is aware of the wider world, cares about people and the environment, and takes action to make the world a better place. The DIA Trips Week is designed to give students the experiences that will inspire them to become caring global citizens. Students will engage in sustainable service and/or gain awareness of issues that transcend national borders. They will develop an understanding of issues of poverty, indigenous peoples, and environmental degradation and preservation while simultaneously helping people or building up cultural awareness and sensitivity. Students will often plan and work as teams, strengthening their teamwork for a common goal of greater good.
Taking place during the mid-term break in February, 2018 (11 Feb, 2018 - 15 Feb, 2018), the Trips Week is intended to stretch the boundaries of learning, while providing your child with the opportunity to visit new places and discover new skills.
The participation in the Trips week is not mandatory. The students that are not participating in the Trips Week would have to stay home as it is the mid-term break.
The goals of the Trips week program include, but are not limited to the following:
- Enrich and expand the cognitive and effective aspects of the IB curriculum by providing the students with diverse educational experiences.
- Allow students the opportunity to forge stronger links between the classroom and the wider world.
- Foster academic and personal growth through writing, research, and exploration.
- Reinforce self-esteem and provide a sense of achievement.
- Create positive interactions/relationships among students in groups, faculty, and other tour leaders in unique settings.
- Provide opportunities for service learning, adventure, curricular and cultural experiences, learning of lifelong skills, or for interdisciplinary learning.
For any enquires regarding Trips week, please drop an e-mail on firstname.lastname@example.com

Each one of us requires the spur of insecurity to force us to do our best.
--Harold W. Dodds
These words are certainly true. People with unique and exceptional ability in life are kindly impressive.
Yes, I am idolizing those people and assuming that I am one as well like them. There is no wrong with admiring someone, right?
But in some cases, admiration turns to insecurity which is not that good in some other way. When you envious of, it is the feeling of you are wanting a kind of thing from someone or, you are wanting to be like or more than someone.
In my case, I don't know if it is an advantage or disadvantage. Maybe depends on how do I'll take it off. But every time I feel insecurity, it is so uncomfortably irritating.. grrrrr..... >_<
Usually, insecurity is unwarranted and causes more stress than it prevents. However, I'll just keep on moving forward and try to overcome insecurity by my own will and look for my happiness.

After a great start to school, it was time for a vacation. And Poppi's 60th Birthday. Shhh! It's a surprise. Turned out to be a not-so-great weekend for me. I got really sick... and even gave it to Mommy, Daddy... Poppi, Gigi... PopPop... oh the list goes on. We laugh now but boy-oh-boy... no fun.
You can tell I wasn't feel good... neither was "Heavy". She kept me company on the couch though. By Saturday night, I was feeling a little better and was able to help setup for the big party. I like to sweep so I helped out with that. There was always sand everywhere!
Lala threw a really great party for Poppi...with lots of people and we all had a really good time... even if some of us got sick!

Welcome to the Authentic Voice. A place for you to Uncover what is in the way of your voice through various classes or private lessons.
Uncovering what is in the way of our authenticity is the work of The Authentic Voice. As we uncover the many layers of protection and defences we begin to discover who we really are underneath them. Our voice reflects the truth about who we are and where we are in any given moment.
Uncover and discover your voice your Authentic Voice.
All choir, groups and private classes use songs, meditation, voice exercises and awareness to study and embody the qualities of an Authentic Voice that is: Open, Focused, Beautiful, Natural, Emotional, Grounded, Strong and Vulnerable.
Drop into your body and your Being at a Sound Embodiment Weekend on August 31st.
Anna Beaumont – Singer, Teacher and Facilitator
Your voice is the blueprint of how you live your life. It reflects where you are in any given moment.
"Your Voice is a reflection from your connection."
"An important realization came upon me this afternoon; that learning to awaken, harness and express our most authentic voice is instrumental in the healing of the soul. "
Jacqueline Lamb – Healing Connections
Over the years and years of singing and teaching I have come to understand the disconnect our society has with singing and communicating authentically. Singing simply terrifies people and exposes people in the way that nothing else does. There is so much in the way of the authenticity of the voice and so much fear that keeps this uncovering of the voice from occurring. Singing is a direct way to connect with your truth and your beauty. Singing impacts your speaking voice and the reverse is also true.
The journey to uncover and discover your Authentic Voice is different for everyone, but similar in that all these paths return to freedom. Our voices have been crippled by the perfectionist and the critics inside each and every one of us, and to truly discover this inner beauty we must meet these critical voices and disable them from controlling us. Then and only then can the truth of your authentic voice be known.
"We are all being shaped by everything that is vibrating within and around us and we are all making intricate patterns of our lives whether we mean to or not."
Anna's Authentic Singer has led her to create four CD's. She invites us to discover "The Doorway" CD and encourages us to find the doorway to ourselves through freedom in expression, singing & life.

Reality Star Denies Relationship With Jay-Z, Threatens Lawsuit
Jay-Z and Beyoncé are again facing allegations that he's carrying on a relationship with another woman, but the woman in this case is fighting back.
Casey Cohen was recently named as one of Jay's other women by magazines owned by the Bauer Media Group, including In Touch (one of my personal favorites), but the former star of the Bravo network's Princesses: Long Island isn't taking the allegations sitting down. According to TMZ:
"…Cohen has hired a lawyer who fired off a cease and desist letter saying Cohen and Jay Z 'have never been in love or intimate' — and dismissing all the Bauer articles as "a foul and phony mistress-rumor."
Cohen did admit to meeting the hip-hop power couple several times, but only in her capacity as a VIP hostess in NYC. Cohen wants Bauer to publicly apologize to her, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé, and all posts about her taken down from the internet.

Jamia Hafsa
Jamia Hafsa (جامعة حفصة) is a madrassa adjacent to the Lal Masjid complex in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The school is known for getting involved in publicity stunts like burning CDs and kidnapping Chinese nationals and accusing them of running an undercover brothel.[1] The mosque and its seminaries are overseen by cleric Abdul Aziz Ghazi.[citation needed]
The seminary, and the adjoining Lal Mosque, was owned by two brothers and clerics, Maulana Abdul Aziz and Abdul Rashid Ghazi,[2] until the Lal Masjid operation started and in the ensuing struggle, older brother Abdul Aziz was arrested and younger one Rashid Ghazi was killed.
Jamia Hafsa is the largest school in the Islamic world educating female students.[citation needed] Although they are taught subjects like mathematics and geography, they are not tested on them. Their exams are only on matters relating to Islam.[3]
In 2014, the madrassa renamed its women's library to honor Osama bin Laden, whom it calls a martyr.[4]
On February 21, 2007, the Hafsa students occupied an Islamabad children's public library. The occupation was said to be due to the demolition of mosques in the capital by the CDA (capital development authority) due to their illegal construction and alleged security risk.[2]
On March 28, 2007, an alleged brothel house in the locality was raided by female students from the madrassa. The owner of the house, her daughter and her daughter-in-law were abducted by the students and held hostage at the madrassa. Two policemen were also abducted after two female madrassa teachers were arrested in connection with the raid; the policemen were later released in return for the teachers.[1]
In April 2007, Maulana Abdul Aziz announced that a Qazi court composed of ten Lal Masjid Muftis (judges) would henceforth enforce sharia law over the area under its control, and threatened suicide attacks by his followers in the country in the event of a government intervention against the madrassa.[5]
The majority ulema of Pakistan viewed cleric Qari Hanif Jalandhri as an agent of the government due to his support of Ijaz-ul-Haq.[citation needed]
Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa students raided a Chinese massage center in Sector F-8/3 and took hostage five Chinese nationals, including three women and two men, Two vehicles full of armed seminary students raided the massage center, abducted staff and brought them to the mosque.Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) officials reached the seminary and were trying to secure the release of the abducted Chinese through dialogue.[citation needed] Earlier, the students had abducted the alleged brothel owner and released her after a couple of days. They had also abducted and later released two police personnel.[1]
In May 2007, baton-wielding students from a mosque associated with the movement took four Pakistan police as hostages, demanding the release of ten associates who had been arrested by intelligence officers.[6] This kind of controversy finally led to the siege of the Jamia Hafsa and Lal Masjid started on July 3, 2007.[citation needed]
None of the notable Muslim scholars or pro-Taliban/Al-Qaeda lobbies associated themselves with the Jamia Hafsa administration, many raised questions about the motives of the administration behind certain acts.[citation needed]

Wayside Family,
From the beginning, Wayside has been about long haul organizing and movement- building. The founding crew came together over eight years ago in a common vision of caring for a beautiful rural space where community members build relationships, strengthen skills, share power, get organized, and transform consciousness. Since then Wayside has hosted over a thousand people—organizers, interpreters, youth, lovers and seekers of justice. Staff has supported, fought, and won campaigns to end racism and xenophobic policy and attitudes in schools and communities. Educators and organizers have worked with individuals and organizations to deepen thought and action. They have done the daily community organizing to fight oppression, economic exploitation, and the separating of families. Wayside has offered space to organizers and hard working people for respite, reflection, and the celebration of love. Staff has created space where youth can be fully themselves and think critically about their schools. Wayside has connected people across language, class, race, culture, gender and sexuality to confront state violence. So much of this work has happened in streets, in people's houses, and the place that is Wayside.
About a year ago, Wayside fully established itself as a non-profit and elected a new Board of bold leaders. The Board began to take on some big questions: What and who is Wayside? Where do we work and how do we work? What are our core values and principles? How do we get to liberation together? What is the role of organizing and education in local communities and at Wayside? What is the role of Wayside as a place in this current political moment? Grappling with these questions while running an organization was and is not easy. One thing that did become clear during this process was the need to move on owning Wayside and claim it as movement home for now and for time to come. The land and house are core resources we will need in the coming years as state repression increases. Our movements are determined to resist and nurture new leadership and will need spaces to think, dream, transform and simply be together.
Due to the generosity of a long time donor and supporter, Wayside has been able to lease the land and house at no cost outside general maintenance and taxes. The intention has always been for Wayside to purchase the land and the house. After much thought and deliberation the board has decided the time to move forward on a permanent movement-building space is now. In the short-term, this means a strategic shift in focus from on the ground organizing and programming to raising the funds needed to purchase Wayside outright. Wayside will temporarily suspend all programming and organizing until we have reached our goal of purchasing the land. This is a very difficult decision but one we believe can solidify Wayside as a home for radical organizing and education.
What's Next?
In the coming months Wayside will begin a fundraising campaign to purchase the land and will engage in a strategic planning process for how to most effectively offer Wayside to movements and communities. As we focus on fundraising our board will also build a strong political, organizing, and educational strategy to implement after the land is purchased. If you or your organization is interested in renting Wayside please feel free to contact us (email@example.com)! We will be in touch about how you can support and engage Wayside during this time. We are excited to embark on this new effort with you.
In deep gratitude and with much love,
Wayside Board of Directors
The voice of the South is changing. What would our movement look like, how much more power could we have if we began communicating well across language? At the center of Wayside's work is education and building relationships across class, gender, immigration status, sexuality, language, and race. Our language work lies at the center of this commitment: to connect people at the base who often are not engaged in meaningful dialogue around shared struggles.
- About Language Justice
- Interpreting for Social Justice Workshop
- Interpretation Services and Equipment
Language is power. Language can determine whether a person or a community has access to—or is shut out from—decision-making processes and persons, resources, information, and services. This happens vertically when folks have to interact with hospitals, law enforcement, social services, etc. It also happens horizontally in movement spaces where English is centered as the language of the movement and non-English speakers are routinely linguistically – and sometimes literally – marginalized and segregated.
The goal of Language Justice work is relatively straightforward: language access as the great equalizer. It promotes autonomy and self-determination by making sure that everyone's voice is heard and that all of the transmitted information is relayed. It creates linguistically democratic spaces where no one language is privileged so that people can meet as equals regardless of their primary language. It teaches that interpretation is not in the service of the non-English speakers but rather for everyone that does not share a common language.
Core to creating these spaces are skilled interpreters with an understanding of language as a tool of power and the role of the interpreter in relation to this power dynamic. As part of its commitment to Language Justice, Wayside holds biannual Interpreting for Social Justice workshops. For three days, multilingual activists from throughout the South gather to learn about linguistic power dynamics, the role of the interpreter, how to create equitable multilingual spaces and to practice their interpreter skills.
In addition to the interpreter workshop, Wayside offers other opportunities for organizations and communities who want to learn about or build their multilingual capacity. These opportunities include consultation, equipment rental, and contracted workshops. For more information, check out Interpretation Services and Training.
(Alice Johnson -Summary of Top Five Reasons for Multilingual Work in the Movement, Highlander)
What would our movement look like, how much more power could we have if we began communicating well across language? At the center of Wayside's work is education and building relationships across class, gender, immigration status, sexuality, language, and race. Our language work embodies this commitment: to connect people at the base who often are not engaged in meaningful dialogue around shared struggles.
The interpreting for social just workshop is for bi- or multilingual social justice activists and workers who would like to learn more about interpreting in a social justice context. This workshop grows a cadre of skilled social justice interpreters in the Southeast and Appalachia who can empower immigrant communities by providing language accessibility to promote social justice. This workshop is highly experiential and focuses in on interpreter role and ethics, use of interpreting equipment, differences and similarities in social justice interpreting and the Impact of language barriers in social justice movement building.
In order for us to grow the connected movement for justice we need for structural change in this world, we need to be able to talk to one another, even if we don't speak the same language. This workshop works from the abundance of culture and language to establish an analysis that prioritizes voice through prioritizing interpreting—good, skilled interpreting—in community and social action spaces and events. To fully benefit from the workshop, participants need to speak at least two languages at a conversational level. Wayside offers this workshop twice a year, in the spring and fall. Please visit our website periodically for future dates or contact us to be put on a notification list.
That's what one participant at a recent Interpreting for Social Justice workshop replied when asked why language access – and by extension, interpreters – are important. That idea of access for all is one of the foundational principles of Wayside's Language Justice Program. The Language Justice Program endeavors to create communication access by eliminating language barriers. Wayside's Language Justice team has a split-focus approach to this work: both the technical (e.g. equipment, skilled interpreters) and the political (an analysis of interpreting through a social justice lens).
Services: As part of our commitment to dismantling linguistic barriers, Wayside offers the following fee-based services. All services are subject to availability. To request any of the following services, please contact us.
Equipment: Wayside has a 30-piece set Williams Sound interpreting equipment. Set includes 2 multi-channel transmitters with microphones and 30 multichannel receivers with earpieces. Renters sign a rental agreement and are responsible for pick-up/drop-off. Units will come with batteries; renters are responsible for replacement batteries.
Language Access Coordination (Interpretation): Wayside can coordinate the interpreting for multilingual events. Services include any combo of setting up the space, providing the interpretation, recruiting interpreters, distribution and collection of equipment. Please note that Wayside's set of equipment contains 30 units. For events that require more than 30 units, the contracting party is responsible for obtaining equipment. Wayside works with a network of skilled interpreters throughout the Southeast and DC area, as well as newer interpreters building their skills through practice. Interpretation coordination for events should ideally be requested at the very beginning of the planning process. Language access strategies work best when they are implemented throughout the planning for an event. A minimum of four weeks is necessary for interpretation/coordination requests.
Training/Consultation: Wayside can help build your community's/organization's multilingual capacity through consultations and trainings. Consultation's can include organizational audits, staff development sessions, and Language Access 101 workshops. These 2-8 hours sessions can be customized to your audience and schedule. Requests for consultations require a 3 week minimum advance notice. Interpreting for Social Justice trainings are multi-day popular education based workshops that cover both the mechanics and the politics of interpreting. Participants use their own real-life interpreting experiences to develop an analysis of interpreting through a social justice lens. These workshops can be held at Wayside (3-day) or we can do a leaner version in your community (2-day). Request for workshops require a minimum 4 week advance notice.
Fee Schedule
Equipment: Requesting party is responsible for picking up/dropping off the equipment at a designated locale or for shipping it via ground service. Requesting party signs a rental agreement that outlines the inventory; it also stipulates that requesting party is responsible for replacing any lost, stolen, or damaged equipment. Cost of equipment rental is $100.00 per day for non-profits and $150 per day for for-profit organizations. Note: any use of the equipment whether for two hours or an entire day constitutes a day's use.
Interpreter Workshop: Fee negotiated on a per incident basis. Determining factors include: size and type of organization, nature of the organization's work, organizational budget, and availability of a co-facilitator. For 2 day workshops in your community, organization is responsible for all travel/lodging costs. For 3 day workshops at Wayside, normal rental rates apply for food and lodging.
Consultation: Organizational consultations and staff development trainings are contracted on a per hour basis depending on organizational budget. Interpretation: For contracts that involve coordination (recruitment and scheduling of interpreters), there will be a coordination/organizational fee in addition to the interpreters' compensation and equipment rental where applicable. Wayside language coordinator can arrange interpretation to the extent that it is needed to meet your meeting's language needs. Individual interpreters will bill your organization depending on their hourly rate (rates for interpreters may vary between $30-75 p/hr). Overall rates and organizational considerations vary depending on the size of your event, number of languages, and duration of event. For all questions or estimates please contact us. Where funds are an issue please feel free to make this known by the organizers and coordinators. We are willing to work with your organization in helping you create events and meetings that are accessible.

I came across an incredulous and extremely shocking news today, discovering Iran, in possession of the second-largest reserves of natural gas in the world has contracted the nation of Azerbaijan, to purchase its natural gas to the tune of 1 billion cubic meter per year!!!
Yes, it is unfortunately true. The country with such tremendous reserves ought to be earning billions of dollars per year from export of its natural gas … and yet, we see, due to amazing levels of incompetence on the part of our officials and use of unqualified experts, coupled with some of the most anti-nationalistic policies in the history of our great nation, we are forced to import natural gas. All the while, our own reserves are being depleted at an alarming rate by Qatar, who shares our massive southern gas reserves!
Is there no bottom to the level of incompetence and mismanagement of this regime?


text: Lots more content for your viewing pleasure! Today I added two new sections under my portfolio page, animals and portraits. I also added a contact page, a link to my resume and descriptions for Molded By The Flow and Advanced Drawing. Over the next few days I plan to add additional descriptions, links and will be refining info/captions for the imagery throughout the site. Constructive criticism and comments are always welcome. Thank you for visiting!

160 pages, 200 colour photos and illustrations
Flowers have long been a favorite subject among artists, and the development of many well-known horticultural varieties may be traced through their depiction on paper or canvas over the centuries. "Painterly Plants" explores this fascinating relationship between horticulture and art through 14 of the most exquisitely beautiful flowers that nature and hybridization can produce. Some are the subjects of history's most famous botanical masterpieces, while others look as if they themselves have been daubed with paint. Each chapter focuses on an enduringly popular plant and its most spectacular varieties, providing a history--including its artistic history--with plenty of lively anecdotal information, and a key botanical illustration that is discussed in the text. In addition, gardens expert Clare Foster provides succinct practical information on cultivation and recommended varieties. The jewel-like colours and sculptural shapes of the flowers are captured in a series of superb close-up photographs by Sabina Ruber.

Reliance expands 3D capability
Burbank-based company growing to meet demandNEW DELHI -- Reliance MediaWorks Burbank (formerly Lowry Digital) has expanded its global 3D capabilities by offering integrated 3D services across the entire film services value chain.
RMW is owned by DreamWorks' equal partner Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group and its Mumbai facilities -- which includes a team of over 400 3D artists -- also offers 3D DI grading and digital cinema package creation and handling capabilities in addition to its diversified suite of film processing, restoration and other digital services.
RMW Burbank's new integrated 3D services include 3D alignment issues, image and detail enhancements, grain and noise management and on-set consulting, in addition to the existing services for stereoscopic 3D conversion, DI grading for 3D, creation and handling of 3D DCPs and 3D camera services.
The company's recent projects have included image and detail enhancements, vertical and horizontal alignments issues and "911 emergency" fixes for 3D versions of "Avatar", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "U2", "X Games 3D: The Movie" and "Step Up."
To further enhance its services offered between RMW's facilities in the U.S., U.K., India and Japan, the company operates a first of its kind, optical fibre network -- through Reliance Globalcom's Ethernet Private Line -- which supports seamless high-speed exchange of data across locations and services.
"Reliance MediaWorks Burbank is recognized as Hollywood's most advanced Image Processing and Enhancement facility and has had the privilege of working on some prestigious 3D movies," said RMW CEO Anil Arjun.
"With the new sophisticated proprietary 3D solutions, coupled with our large facilities in India and partnerships with Hollywood leaders in the space, we look forward to deliver unparalleled results for a variety of applications and ultimately help filmmakers in creating the finest possible 3D experience."

"V for Victory," an exhibit of both two and three-dimensional works by multidisciplinary artist and educator Melissa Vandenberg, is now on display through Feb. 26 in the Muskegon Community College Overbrook Art Gallery.
A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, Feb. 25, from 6-7:30 p.m. in Overbook Gallery. During the reception, her work Life Vest for Lovers & Haters will be performed. Vandenberg will discuss the exhibition at 6:30 pm, in Stevenson Center room 1100. All events are free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Arts and Humanities Department at (231) 777-0324.
"V for Victory" borrows its title from a World War II campaign instigated by the Belgian BBC as a rally cry against Nazi proliferation. The symbol, a "V" hand gesture, spread throughout Europe–even to the hands of Winston Churchill. This is the same gesture that would eventually evolve into the peace symbol during the Vietnam War.
"The title, for the purposes of this exhibition, is meant to inspire political contemplation and potentially action, regardless of partisanship," explained Vandenberg. "The exhibition includes a combination of drawings created by burning matches on paper and a series of soft sculptures, including several wall pieces constructed from mid-century Kapok life vests. The majority of imagery is intended as a metaphor for power, fear and mortality."
An associate professor of art and foundations director at Eastern Kentucky University, Vandenberg was born and educated in Detroit.
Her studio practice explores national identity, folk art, ancestry, immigration and the perception of a homeland through everyday materials like fabric, stickers, wood, temporary tattoos, paper and found objects. Her work has been exhibited in Michigan, Alaska, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, California, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Colorado and New York.
She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from College for Creative Studies in Detroit and a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Southern Illinois University – Carbondale. Vandenberg has received several grants, including a Kentucky Foundation for Women Artist Enrichment Grant and the Al Smith Fellowship in Kentucky. The artist is represented by beta pictoris galley in Birmingham, AL.

What is it about the color pink that make girls' hearts go pitty-pat?
Pink wedding dresses, pink shoes, pink handbags, pink upholstery — it's all about pink for little girls and grown women. There's the pink aisle at the toy store filled with Barbie and her accessories — and remember when our craft stores were replacing Christmas merchandise with pink and red Valentine's Day stuff long before December 25?
Pink isn't all about being sweet and girly. It's the symbol of strength and fortitude when applied to fighting breast cancer. I remember the first pink suit I bought when I felt I was sufficiently established in my career to get away with wearing pink — and I never went back. In fact, I'm just about to add a new pink blazer to my wardrobe in an unstructured knit to match my new more casual lifestyle — a lifestyle in which my inspiration word is STRONG. Continue reading

Google may take on the Echo Dot with a mini Google Home
Google is reportedly planning to unveil a miniaturized version of its Home smart speaker at a hardware event dedicated to the upcoming Pixel sequel, according to a report from Android Police. The event may occur in October as last year's Pixel and Google Home launch event did, although we don't have concrete specifics on when or where Google will host it.
The mini Home speaker would likely be positioned as an Amazon Echo Dot competitor. That would allow you to hook up traditional audio systems with voice control, string together multiple Home units, and access Google Assistant throughout your house without spending an additional $129 on a standalone Home speaker.
Also rumored to be at the event is a new Pixel-branded Chromebook, the...
