Excellent game for players to get to know each other's names. Everyone is in a circle. Player introduce themselves by making a gesture, and alliterating to their name, e.g. "I`m Wonderful Wendy" or "I`m Smart Steve". The next player points to the first, repeats the previous player`s name, attribute and gesture, and does something similar about themselves.
And so on. Game ends with the first player having to do each other player`s gesture, repeating their names and attributes.
Get everyone in a big circle. One player starts by making a little gesture, perhaps with a little sound. Their neighbor then tries to do exactly the same. And so on. Although we expect the gesture/sound not to change, it will.
Watch for movements that suddenly change left/right arm or leg. This is not really supposed to happen, but it will. Once happened, it should be accepted by the next player. Also watch/listen for little sounds that players might make before or after their turn - these should also be taken over by the next player.
Fun game to warm up and to teach players to give up some of their control and to be changed by others. Everyone is in a circle. There are 3 things a player can be:
-An alien: hold your index fingers up next to your head, as little antenna`s and say `Bleeb bleeb`, bending inwards into the circle
-A cow: bend forward, hold your right hand on your tummy and go `Moooo`
-A tiger: push your right hand forward, imitating a claw and roar. On your sign, every player decides to become one of the three. The idea is for everyone to become the same, which obviously won't be the case, the first time. We re-do this until everyone is in sync.
Invent your own animals (or things) and let players become juke boxes, birds, whatever.
Play `majority wins`: animals/things that are most in the minority drop out. Also known as Rock Paper Scissors.

It's the swerve of the century! AH HA! I told you guys we'd NEVER, EVER cover any WCW past 2000, and you fell for it! All of you!
You see, over these past years, I've been studying the brilliant Vince Russo, and have learned a myriad of things. Of the most important is that if you want to surprise someone, simply state you're NOT going to do something, and then do it. Make sure you beat it into the ground, and make a huge production about how you're not gonna do it. Then you do it! Just like I did! I wish I could see all your faces, as I sit here in my Russo-esq Caliber-mobile.
Seriously though, we aren't going any where. We're gonna cover WCW through 2001, then we're going to cover the entire InVasion angle. After all that, we'll decide where to go.
Thanks to everyone who's continued to read & support us here, Sebastian and I truly appreciate it. Speaking of which, he's now back where he belongs and will be up and running along with me soon.
Alright, on with the show…
Live from St. Paul, Minnesota
Your hosts for the evening are Scott Hudson, Tony Schiavone, and The Disco Inferno
Flair comes out, and says that Mike Sanders has to defend his job against The Cat at Syn. Apparently, Jarrett & Sid fought last Thunder for Double J's spot in the Triple Threat Match, but Steiner interfered, so he's unsure of what to do. After him & Double J jaw at one another, Flair says he's dropping the 3 way dance at Sin. It's now a 4-way! Oh snaps, that's a square. A SQUARE DANCE! Flair tries to show Scott that Double J isn't a friend of his, and soon announces that tonight the main event will be Scotty vs Jeff. Argh.
Goldberg arrives, and is looking for Kronik, with the promptness. Apparently on Thunder, they were hired to take him out while Totally Buff broke Sarge's arm.
Backstage, Sanders books Ron Harris in a match against The Cat.
Franchise confronts Flair and says he's want in on the Square Dance at Syn. Flair tells him if he beats Sid tonight, then perhaps he'll consider it.
Shannon Moore vs Chavo Guerrero © – Crusierweight Championship
Initially a non-title, Chavo says he wants to make this for the strap, because he's a fighting champ. He's set to face Shane Helms at Syn, who's currently hanging with the announcers. Pretty well paced match, with Shannon delivering a pretty solid underdog performance. At one point he botches a top-rope hurricarana, and thankfully makes zero attempt to recreate the spot, which is the most God-awful thing a wrestler can do. Despite his close calls, Shannon ends up eating a Brain Buster from Chavo, followed by the pin. This was a fine match, and exactly the sort of things WCW needed to be doing. It helped establish some of the younger talent as actual wrestlers, no goofs, and put over everything involved; from Chavo, to Shannon, the title, and the title match at Syn. I think this is the first time they have me looking forward to a title match. Amazing.
Shannon is pinned after a Brain Buster at 5:49 | **3/4
We get a shot of Ric Flair talking with Totally Buff, about what, we do not know.
Some people in the front row hold up a giant sign that says "WWF SUCKS!". Wow. If they think that the WWE sucked in 2000, then there's no way they could ever enjoy wrestling. 2000 was almost as good as WCW in 1997. I would absolutely love to hear what they think rocks. I mean, are they on the edge of their seats reguarding Goldberg's second run at an undefeated streak? Do they bust a gut when Mike Awesome comes out to disco music? I must know.
Mike Sanders attacks Kweewee backstage for no reason, causing Vito to show up and help him.
The Cat vs Ron Harris
Not much to report here, as Cat does his thing, then the ref is distracted so they could deliver the H-Bomb, and pin the cat.
Cat receives the H-Bomb and the pin at 2:40 | *
Backstage, Mean Gene questions The Cat's ability to face Sanders at Syn. The Cat responds by dancing up a storm.
Afterwards, he's interviewing Sanders and the gang, who says he doesn't appreciate being jumped by Vito & KweeWee, so he set up a match where they are gonna go up against randomly selected opponents. Also, anyone who interferes is getting the book thrown at them.
We then find out that Totally Buff talked Flair into booking Goldberg & Sarge in a match against Kronik. I, for one, love Totally Buff, and want them on my screen a lot more.
Team Canada comes out, at which point I learn that Mike Awesome is now part of Team Canada. This must have happened on Thunder, and of course we're not brought up to speed. Team Canada is now beefing with The Filthy Animals, which bums me out. He announces that at Syn, it's Team Canada vs Filthy Animals in a Penalty Box Match. Well, the world had been clamoring for another after it caught fire in Smokey Mountain with the Thrillseekers vs Heavenly Bodies.
Lance Storm vs Kidman
Surprise to no one, but Kidman & Storm had a great match, and because they're two of the best that WCW has to offer, they only got 4 minutes. The ending was clean, much to my surprise, as Kidman hit Storm with the Unprettier, after Team Canada broke up a previous pin attempt. Well, it only took WCW, what, a year to realize Mike Awesome is better suited as an ass-kicker, and not a guy who has a fetish for fat girls?
Kidman hits Storm with the Unprettier, and the pin at 4:05 | **1/2
Shane Douglas vs Sid
Wow. They actually left me wanting more. Much to my complete surprise, these guys went out there and had a very basic, hard-hitting, good match. Sure, if it actually had gone on longer I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, but for what we got, I really dug it. Douglas tried to use a chain in order to secure his win, but Sid used his half a brain, as after being slugged with the length of metal, he blocked the Belly to Belly, and delivered a chokeslam, followed by a powerbomb.
Douglas eats a powerbomb and a pin at 3:17 | **1/2
Afterwards, Steiner & Jeff beat Sid down before throwing him into the crowd.
Backstage, Mean Gene is interviewing Flair, and asks him about the Pen, to which Flair says he has just the ref, Hacksaw! Naturally, Jim Duggan comes in, being classic Jim. He simply runs down Team Canada in order to establish he's just no longer with'em. Fine by me.
Funk comes out, and seriously delivers a promo that has me thinking Sid ghost wrote it. He's rambling, incoherent, and seriously embarrassing himself. Even the crowd starts booing him because of how shitty his mic work is. Thankfully, Crowbar comes out, which I couldn't care less about, but he has Daffney, and that's Jim Dandy. Meng then comes out, and is fucking awesome by giving Funk a Tongan Death Grip, and then as Crowbar rushes him with a wooden chair, Meng punches through it and gives him a Tongan Death Grip through it, which is beyond awesome.
We see a backstage clip of a mysterious hand replacing the "random names" envelope for the Minnesota Massacre match that was in Sanders jacket.
Kronik vs Goldberg & Sarge
Wow, this is a real nail biter, considering Goldberg beat both of these guys by himself. We now learn that Goldberg's record is at 34-0. He's soon at 35-0, as he once again defeats Kronik all by himself. They beat the crap outta his little buddy Sarge, then when he tagged in, Goldberg crushed both of them after pretty much no-selling their offense. Thankfully, Totally Buff are now out, beating up everybody. Awesome.
Adams takes the JackHammer and the pin at 3:50 | 1/2*
Mike Sanders, Chuck Paulumbo, Sean O'Haire, DDP, Kevin Nash – Minnesota Massacre Match
It's either a handi-cap match, or a 5 way match. It's still unclear. So, they all fight for a bit, then Sanders and O'Haire get thrown out, at which point Vito & KweeWee attack them, then Nash & DDP deliver Diamond Cutters & Jackknife Powerbombs to the rest, which means they're the winners. Sure, why not.
DDP & Nash are the last men standing at 3:21 | *
Scott Steiner © vs Jeff Jarrett – WCW Heavyweight Championship
JJ & Scott actually went out there's and put on a decent match, far more than what I was expecting. Scotty was crisp, with little to no botching, and keeping things on the power side without being redundant, as he's known to do. It really starts to show that the Syn PPV could have simply been them as the headline and been alright, but then we wouldn't have the stupid mystery man who walks around like he's wearing car tires or something, and bringing the intensity of combing a unicorn. Sid shows up to draw the DQ, and this brings out the mystery man, as we get a taste of the Syn main-event, sans a broken leg, and with that we're out.
Sid draws the DQ for us at 5:08 | **
Summary: This was another very competent show. Almost every match ended clean, they pushed the PPV, they pushed the matches, and did all of this in a fairly sane, and understandable way. Hell, I'd even say, that for the most part, I had fun watching this. Of course, any time I get the feeling things may change for the better, I learn that it was all a dream, as things come crashing back to reality. Alright, see you guys next week for SYN. And that's Syn with a Y, people.

We are doing a kitchen renovation at my house right now and I gotta tell ya.... the place is in absolute shambles! It is difficult to find a plate let alone cook proper meals right now.
What is a gal to do when she wants to fill up on nutritious food that is quick and use very little utensils? Answer: Make a smoothie!
Now, I am not suggesting to make a smoothie for breakfast, lunch and dinner because that would be boring but they are a great way to supplement a meal.
BUT you have to make it yourself to ensure it is a nutritionally balanced smoothie. I have yet to find a smoothie place downtown Toronto that doesn't load their smoothies with sugar-filled frozen yogurt or concentrated juices. Let us know if you know of a venue that sells decent smoothies ....The type I am talking about provide all the basics of a complete meal.
What a smoothie meal should include:
Add protein from an easily digested and preferably whole food source (such as hemp). Or there are lots of protein powders out there to choose from. I prefer something with a balanced amino acid profile such as ones made with yellow peas and rice or hemp based.
Add carbohydrates in whole food form such as fruit or vegetables. I usually add fresh, local, organic fruits. Right now, peaches are in full swing and berries are winding down this season but still available at the market. Bananas are also great in a smoothie... Tip: pre-cut the banana, then put them in the freezer so you can use at any time. Smoothies are a great way to include dark, leafy greens. Go on... throw in kale, spinach or collards!
Additional fibre can be added in the form of ground flax, dates or chia seeds.
Good fats:
We love good fats, such a flax oil, coconut oil, chia seeds, avocado, nut butters or hemp oil.
Other ideas to add more nutritional value:
maca, probiotics, goji berries, honey, cinnamon (my fav) or other spices, cocoa, spirulina, chlorella Here is one of my go-to smoothie recipes. I don't really measure in real life but for these purposes I eye-balled it.
Banana Almond Vanilla Smoothie
1 tbsp almond butter 1 tbsp ground hemp seeds ½ banana 1 C almond milk 2 soaked dates (pitted) ¼ vanilla bean seeds (or ½ tsp vanilla extract) Ice cubes Dash of cinnamon
Put all the ingredients in the blender and blend very well. The vitamix blender works great for smoothies but a regular blender will do the trick. My Kitchen Aid blender sometimes leaves things a little chunky but that is fine for me. Enjoy and try not to drink it all in one gulp!

Most Federal Reserve officials on Wednesday see a June interest rate hike if the economy continued to improve.
The policymakers said if economic data points to stronger second quarter growth and labour market continue to pick up alongside inflation's current progress, then it is possible for the committee to increase rates, according to the minutes.
The officials said last week data assured them inflation was rising towards Fed's 2 percent target, and that they were less concerned about global economic slowdown at this point.
The hawkish view expressed by most of the Fed's officials saw dollar gaining against its counterparts, while 10 year treasuries declined.
"The tone was hawkish, and I think probably surprised many market participants," said Tony Bedikian, managing director of global markets for Citizens Bank in Boston. "It looks like the Fed put the June hike relatively aggressively on the table, so long as the economic data continues to show positive signs."
Jack Ablin, a chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago, said "they are ready to increase rate in June."
While few other policymakers have expressed their concern about a slowdown in the economy, especially in the first quarter when gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 0.5 percent, its lowest in two years.
"While they haven't made a decision to move in June, they certainly want people to understand that it certainly is a possibility," said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont Securities LLC in New York. If the data are good, "I think the markets will probably have to continue to up the odds of a June move," he said.

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska and Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware sparred Thursday night over the economy, Iraq and social issues in a vice presidential debate in which both claimed they were agents of change for a nation in financial crisis.
Palin displayed more confidence and fluency than she did in recent television interviews and deployed a populist tone, even as she discussed such complex issues as the subprime mortgage crisis.
"Darn right it was the predator lenders," Palin said in response to a question from the debate's moderator, Gwen Ifill of PBS, about whether such lenders were to blame for the economic crisis.
Biden often chose not to engage Palin directly, instead turning his fire on Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, whom he sought to portray as erratic in his response to the economic crisis and isolated from the concerns of most Americans.
"Well, you know, until two weeks ago – it was two Mondays ago – John McCain said at 9 in the morning that the fundamentals of the economy were strong," Biden said.
"Nine o'clock, the economy was strong; 11 that same day, two Mondays ago, John McCain said that we have an economic crisis. That doesn't make John McCain a bad guy, but it does point out he's out of touch."
The event at Washington University in St. Louis was Palin's debut in a debate of candidates for national office. In contrast, Biden participated in 14 before he dropped out of the presidential race on Jan. 3.
It was watched by many millions of Americans eager to see how the self-described "hockey mom" with scant national experience would fare against Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a voluble, gaffe-prone 35-year veteran of Washington.
For many viewers, the debate had a certain Indianapolis 500 quality in the sense that at any moment there could be an instant conflagration.
Facing low expectations because of her performance in the television interviews, Palin instead went toe-to-toe with Biden at many points.
"How long have I been at this, like five weeks," she said. "So there hasn't been a whole lot I have promised, except to do what is right for the American people, put government back on the side of the American people, stop the greed and corruption on Wall Street and the rescue plan has got to include that massive oversight that Americans are expecting and deserving."
Palin, in talking about the tax policies of Democratic nominee Barack Obama, referred to comments Biden made last month that it would be "patriotic" for upper-income taxpayers to again pay the higher tax rates they did in the 1990s.
"That's not patriotic," she said of the idea. What's patriotic, she said, is "saying, 'Government, you're not always the solution. Too often you're the problem.' "
Biden took a swipe at Palin as he went after McCain's health care plan, which would give families a $5,000 tax credit to help them buy insurance but would make employer-provided benefits taxable.
"I call that the ultimate bridge to nowhere," he said, invoking the infamous, pork barrel project in Alaska that Palin initially supported and then opposed.
Palin returned again and again to energy policy, faulting "East Coast politicians" for failing to allow more oil drilling in Alaska. She did not cite her differences with McCain on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve, which she supports but her running mate opposes.
When Palin, who has expressed doubts in the past that global warming is caused by man, was asked what she thinks about climate change, she continued to express doubts.
"I'm not one to attribute every activity of man to the changes in the climate," she said. "There is something to be said, also, for man's activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet."
She said she did not want to argue about its causes, and preferred to focus on what should be done.
Biden was more direct about what he thinks the causes are. "I think it is man-made," he said.
"If you don't understand what the cause is," he said, "it's virtually impossible to come up with a solution."
The debate also grew contentious when the subject of Iraq came up.
"We will end this war," Biden said. "For John McCain, there is no end in sight."
Palin retorted, "your plan is a white flag of surrender."
The Alaska governor noted that Biden had once said Obama wasn't ready to be commander in chief, "and I know again that you opposed the move that he made to try to cut off funding for the troops and I respect you for that."
Biden responded that McCain, too, had voted against funding, and said the Republican presidential candidate had been "dead wrong on the fundamental issues relating to the conduct of the war."

** Belize Special Forces doing jungle patrols.
** Belize Defense Force patrolling inside National Western parks of Belize, protecting our patrimony from Guatemalan bandit gangs invading the country, to pillage.
It´s a nice feeling for Belizeans to hear our Belize Defence Force are doing their job, inside the Western Frontiers of Belize. With all the specialty training in jungle warfare training they have received, and tax money spent on them, it is nice to see some results. The individuals were allowed to escape, but their equipment and horses were confiscated. The KING PIN criminals on the other side, in Guatemala were identifed by those caught. The Guatemalan bandits were raiding as deep as 33 kilometers inside of the Belize frontier. This particular group of Guatemalan bandits were caught 10 kilometers inside the boundaries of Belize.
Caught as a result, they nabbed an armed logger, Evelio Adelso Romero, a villager of Las Brisas de Chiquibul in Guatemala. He was armed with a weapon, which is illegal here in Belize.
The BANDIT CHIEFTAN identified as Carlos Martinez buys the lumber, which is transported to Guatemala City. Carlos Martinez is the Chieftan of the banditry, and lumber pirating, on our side of the frontier. He lives in ARMENIA, Guatemala and pays his pirates $36 Bz a day, or Q 125 quetzal a day, to raid DEEP into Belize on his illicit activities.
Weapons were light, as .22 rifles and 16 guage shotguns were being carried. Not like the automatic AK 47´s used by Guatemalan marauders, invading down by Xalacte, Belize, further South. These latter are military style weapons and very powerful and longer range, carried by the Guatemalan bandits.
So far, the Belizean government has prohibitied using the intelligence gathered on the Bandit Chieftans, over the frontier, in the safe zone of the Guatemalan side. The question does arise from time to time, should there be retaliatory raids on the BANDIT CHIEFTANS? So far, Belize has chosen peace. The OAS has promoted cooperation between both governments and this is still working. Unfortunately, Guatemalan armed robber bandits murdered an innocent 16 year old boy from Belize on this side of the Mopan river, bordering Melchor de Menchos and Benque Viejos, the two sister border towns, yesterday. They did it, because he was poor and had no money to rob. They shot him in the back, blew a hole through him, that tore out his heart to pieces. A vicious crime by any standards. Which does not give our population a sense of security and safety. The police authorities are working jointly in both border towns, to catch the organized bandits from Melchor de Menchos area.

Friends for Conservation and Development (FCD), the NGO co-managing the Chiquibul National Park with the Forest Department, reported a bust today of illegal Guatemalans raping the Belizean forest of its resources in a wave of incursions that may have cost the nation tens of millions of dollars.
FCD reported that the Joint Forces Unit in the Chiquibul Forest—a team of Belize Defence Force, Police and FCD personnel—was on a mission on Friday, November 18, in the area of Tunkul, located 10 kilometers (over 6 " said the FCD.
As a result, they nabbed an armed logger, Evelio Adelso Romero, a villager of Las Brisas de Chiquibul in Guatemala.
"In his possession was a rifle and three .22 bullets," the FCD reported. "Another firearm was also recovered in the area: a 12-gauge shotgun and five shotgun shells."
The report said that Evelio was cutting lumber to be transported to Nueva Armenia, where a man identified as Carlos Martinez buys the lumber, which is transported to Guatemala City.
The logger reported that he is paid 125 quetzales per day, roughly BZ$35, for cutting the logs, said the FCD.
"The Chiquibul Forest Joint Enforcement Unit personnel estimated that there were at least 8 persons operating in the area, 8 chainsaws and 4 firearms," they added.
Evelio Romero was subsequently taken to the San Ignacio Police Station, where he was handed over to police.
"It is expected that he will be charged for possession of an unlicensed firearm, unlicensed ammunition, illegal logging and illegal entry," said the FCD.
FCD has reiterated the urgency of increased surveillance to curb illegal Guatemalan activities inside Belize.
We understand that they are having meetings and making presentations to key Government officials this week.

The Google Pixel 2 is here, and we're certainly impressed. The latest flagship has one of the best cameras we've ever tested on a smartphone, with a speedy processor to boot. It does, however, leave some things to be desired, falling short of the iPhone-esque revolution we'd been praying for.
Hope is not lost, particularly with the release of the Google Pixel 3 around the corner. If Google wants the Pixel 3 to topple the iPhone 9, or the iPhone XI it'll need to fix a few things with the Pixel 2. With that in mind, here are the extra features, fixes and specs we'd like to see Google bring to the Pixel 3.
1. A cheaper price
Many moons ago, Google made excellent, affordable smartphones. Take the Nexus series, whose solid build, good quality and great value made such handsets an attractive choice. The Pixel deviated from this considerably, with Google plugging the high-end at the expense of its more affordable, albeit less impressive, counterpart. Right now the Pixel 2 can be picked up SIM-free for £629 for the 64GB model, and £729 for the 128GB model. If Google wants to disrupt Apple and Samsung's smartphone designs, it'll need to reduce the cost of the Pixel 3 when it comes to market.
2. Bring back the jack
Google were quick to slam Apple's controversial removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack, but regrettably followed suit with the Google Pixel 2. Users now need to make use of a USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter, or invest in some Bluetooth headphones. It's not exactly an enticing prospect. For Google to get the edge over Apple, it needs to revive the headphone jack for the Pixel 3.
3. Cutting edge specifications
The Pixel 2 ended up installed with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, at the expense of getting the 836 chipset. That's not a terrible thing – the 835 powers most of the best smartphones released this year – but if Google wants to stand out from the crowd, it would be helpful if it was bettering its rivals, rather than just matching them.
4. Better battery life
With the screen calibrated to 170cd/m² brightness and Flight mode switched on, the Pixel 2 lasted 14hrs 17mins in our battery test. Sure that's four hours longer than the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, but it's slightly behind last year's Pixel. Battery life is a hugely important factor nowadays, and the Pixel 3's should at least be the same as the Pixel 2's.
5. A more interesting design
The Pixel 2 is sleek, yes. But there's nothing particularly revolutionary nor even memorable about it. Rivals such as the Samsung S8, which sports an incredible bezel-less display, or the iPhone 8, which at least looks stunning, are leagues ahead of the Google Pixel 2, which is comparatively nondescript. It'll be good to see an introduce a bold design language – like they did with the Pixel 2 XL (although hopefully without its terrible screen).
Thank you have visited this post Google Pixel 3: Five things we want to see. We wish could be additional information about technology for you

Why can't I connect to the WiFi with my tablet?
My tablet is turned on and is functioning, but it can't connect to the WiFi. Is there a way I can fix it to make it connect to the WiFi?
Es esta una buena pregunta?
Is the tablet's WiFi turned on? Can you 'see' the network name (or any other networks for that matter) that you want to connect to? What happens when you try to connect - are you required to connect using a password? What is actually happening when you try to connect?
Hi, when i turned on the WIFI i can't see the network name.and it says no internet
When I go to my network to see my wifi it just shows airplane mode and it's turned off somewhere I lost part of my programming and I can't figure out how to get it back

McDonnell announced the plans at a pre-Budget speech in London earlier today, adding that Labour also shares the widely-held goal of clamping down on tax avoidance.
"Transparency and fairness is at the heart of building a decent, open society. This will help restore public trust in the tax system – and help clamp down on any avoidance," McDonnell said.
It comes after several senior politicians - including then home secretary Theresa May - last year published their own tax documents in the wake of the Panama Papers scandal.
A Downing Street spokesman said today he was unaware of any plans for May to repeat the disclosure this year.
McDonnell also re-committed Labour to a "right to own" plan first announced last year, under which employees would be given first refusal on bringing forward a plan to take ownership of their company.
Chancellor Philip Hammond will present the government's own spending plans at the final spring Budget next week.

The Historical War Cabinets at CAIMUN 2017 are not the typical MUN experience. Set in the period of the Vietnam War, the Historical War Cabinets consist of two independent cabinets, representing either North Vietnam and the USSR, or South Vietnam and the USA. Delegates will be charged with the task of cooperating with their cabinet members to respond to the actions of hostile and allied cabinets alike, and appropriately dealing with crises and conflicts to eventually lead their cabinet to victory. All those who have a love for history, strategy, and war will find themselves immersed in the conflict, working cooperatively with their peers to reach victory. Due to the committee's characteristics, delegates participating in the Historical War Cabinets must be prepared to work under pressure and time, able to think on their feet, all the while possessing a comprehensive grasp on the diplomatic conduct and historical context.
The HWC committee will be run with a custom procedure. Delegates with more experience in MUN are preferred, although anybody with ability and interest may be chosen for this committee.
Please submit all position papers and inquiries relating to HWC to [email protected].

At the moment you're reading this, D.Tang is either trying desperately to not fail thesis year and graduate, or is trying desperately to find a job that can somehow take him away from the 5-year program of Bachelor of Architecture. It is most likely, then, that when you see him at the conference, he would be both out of school and out of a job. A CAIMUN snob that has stuck with it since his last year in high school - the initial CAIMUN 2012 - all the way to 2016, D.Tang prepared himself for once more unto the breach for the conference that has allowed him to be a snob and a smartass for three days every year. In life, D.Tang doesn't really give a #)$* about things, generally enjoying his life being a couch potato weeb with an excessive spending habit while gaining 10 pounds every year after entering university. Being the director of the Historical War Committee, he will try with whatever's left of him after getting grilled everyday by thesis year to try to bring the delegates - and himself - a satisfying committee before he gets destroyed by adulthood.

She has a passion for Model UN and has been participating in conferences since Grade 8, where she was first captivated by the way MUN brings delegates with a variety of interests and personalities together to solve complex issues. When Nadia isn't studying, she trains as a competitive springboard diver. She also enjoys programming (Python3 speakers, unite) and plans to go into information security. Nadia hopes you enjoy CAIMUN 2017 as much as she will!
Peter Jiang
Peter Jiang is currently a grade 11 IB student at Semiahmoo Secondary.When he isn't out flying gliders or mastering the delicate art of baking, he can be found crying over his massive workload and laminating his notes so the tears can roll off. He is also passionately and deeply involved in the world of Model United Nations and debating, as he pours what is left of his free time into managing his school club. Having gone to his first conference in grade 9, there has yet to be a conference that he has regretted attending. Whether it is your first conference or your last, CAIMUN 2017 will not disappoint and he looks greatly forward to a weekend full of heated and enchanted debate.

Rachel is currently a senior at Burnaby North Secondary and is honoured to be serving as the Chair for the HWC at CAIMUN 2017. Rachel has continuously shown her passion for global issues and debate ever since attending her first Model UN conference in Grade 9. Not only has Model UN provided an amazing learning experience for Rachel, but it has also allowed her to meet many different people from around the world, and has given her plenty of new opportunities. Outside of Model UN, Rachel can be seen volunteering in her community, working alongside organizations/clubs, jamming to music, socializing with her beloved friends, and catching a snooze whenever she can. Rachel can't wait until CAIMUN 2017, and hopes to see you all there!
Semeion Wong
Bloc Director
Semeion is currently a grade 11 student attending R.A. McMath Secondary and is ecstatic to serve as one of the bloc directors for the HWJCC at CAIMUN 2017. Since attending her first conference in grade 10, Semeion has become infatuated with international relations and public speaking. Aside from Model UN conferences, you can probably find her explaining how to pronounce her name or slamming on buzzers at Reach for the Top tournaments. Additionally, you can find her debating on whether she wants to be a lawyer or a surgeon, depending on whether she's watching Suits or Grey's Anatomy at the moment.

South Carroll High School without Ruth Shaw seems unimaginable.
Mrs. Shaw began working as the school secretary in 1966 while the high school in Winfield was still under construction.
"I always like to say they built the school around me," said Mrs. Shaw, who's retiring next month after 33 years with the county department of education, 28 of them at South Carroll.
Looking back, Mrs. Shaw considers the year before the school officially opened to students in 1967 as the highlight of her tenure at the high school.

Organisation was the target of anti-activist espionage
The now defunct Caprim organisation sold information on Ethical Consumer magazine and its campaigners to companies who regarded the organisation as a threat.
The evidence came to light last week when the former Economic League adviser and owner of Caprim gave evidence to a group of MPs regarding the blacklisting scandal which saw hundreds of skilled labourers denied jobs in the building trade due to there political beliefs or union activity.
In verbal evidence to the Scottish Affairs Committee Jack Winder, a founder of Caprim, told MPs that Ethical Consumer was one of the organisations that he targeted on behalf of corporate clients.
The magazine was highlighted along with a number of other organisations that Mr Winder considers "subversive" including the Campaign Against the Arms Trade and Reclaim the Streets.
He said Caprim was set up to explain to companies "what was happening in the world of subversion" and to warn "companies about threats."
He said that Ethical Consumer was part of a wider movement that had come about after legislation introduced by consecutive Thatcher governments had limited the opportunity for political action within industry.
He said that activists had started to work in new ways including "the whole ethical industry" which "advised investors on whether they should invest in a company [or] how you should vote at the shareholders meetings"
He said Ethical Consumer was an organisation that would say "don't buy this as its made by part of a conglomerate which is involved with arms trade and the military".
Rob Harrison editor and founder of Ethical Consumer said "We watch corporations on behalf of consumers. I suppose it is only fair that civil society groups are watched on behalf of companies. In many ways it is useful for us if companies' attention is brought to what we are saying, so Caprim probably helped us in a way. It is different though for activists and employees where this kind of monitoring can be insidious."
Winder, a member of the Conservative party, said "We would alert the company to things" and they would often pay Winder a retainer based on the information they had gathered. This information was obtained by attending campaign meetings and doing desk-based research.
He also told MP's that he spied on animal rights activists that where targeting the pharmaceutical industry and GM activists who were challenging the work of the agro-chemical industry along with campaigns against the city of London and multi-national corporations.

I don't want this to be a post about why I haven't posted. Neither do I want to make future posting promises which I may or may not be able to keep. So instead I'll just write.
The Red Sox are losing 5-1 to Detriot in the bottom of the fifth. I do not have high hopes for this game. This summer has been one ever-so-important event after another. I can think of only one weekend which did not include responsibilities to people other than myself (more often than not outside the city). So today, for the first time, I called in sick to my (still kind of) new terrific job. It's been a day of ultimate sloth and at the moment I'm keeping the dream alive in my pajamas (still) at 9:45 in the evening.
Boston has finally gotten fun again. Not quite as fun as I remembered it (in comparison to Hartford) back in the college days. More of a hard-working, go-to-sleep-early kind of fun. I still play pool from time to time but there are no tables even half as good (or as cheap) as my Seattle favorites. The House of Dudes can almost claim to have survived the summer. Not near as many barbeques as I intended, but then, the summer weather was not as I intended either. The brutal heat of July has made me damned near ready for the fall already.
I'm not going to continue to ramble in this vein. Instead, maybe I'll go for a walk. (Or maybe not.) I'll be out in Seattle in 16 days (!) and I can't wait to see everyone (except Ken, who sucks). I'm sure that much has changed in the 15 months since I last visited, and I'm trying to prepare myself for that, but mostly I'm excited to return and kick everyone's ass at pool.Posted by liz at August 14, 2006 06:01 PM

Ministering among Muslims in a closed country can take creativity, that is why I work with an organisation call Pioneers doing business as missions in Indonesia.
Through running adventure tours (hiking, surfing, diving, rock climbing) our team has access to various communities all around our region. As we run the tours we also build relationships with the locals, seeking out 'People of Peace' who are open to hearing what we have to share. We share scripture through discovery Bible studies (DBS) and encourage the participants to then do the DBS with those in their communities.
Amidst all of this, our groups are able to have a real experience of what Indonesia is like. While enjoying the beauty that surrounds us, we are able to be a part of the local community, glimpse what it is like to live and minister among Muslims and break down the barriers that culture often builds around us. Thank you for being a part of what we do here, and please, come visit!


text: The Sounds of Navajo Poetry analyzes five poems by Navajo poet Rex Lee Jim in order to think through questions of linguistic relativity and translation. In fundamentally rethinking linguistic relativity, this book argues for a humanities of speaking that attends to poetics as a key site for coming to terms with the ways languages facilitate imaginative acts. This book will be of particular interest to researchers in anthropology, linguistics, Native American studies, sound studies, and translation studies. The Sounds of Navajo Poetry will be particularly appropriate for courses on verbal art, language and culture, contemporary Native American poetry, translation, and sound studies.

My story with Leica so far
By William Bichara
My name is William Bichara and photography is the only thing that makes me alive and happy. My business focus is on weddings and portraits, but for my personal enjoyment, I do street photography. I came across your blog and website a couple of years ago when I was looking for some reviews. Since then, I am a regular visitor, for daily inspirations, posts, reviews and news. I find your blog very informative. It also provides awesome recommendations. A great example is recommending Leica dealer, Ken Hansen. You had mentioned him and his great service many times in your reviews. I have recently approached him and will always be happy with this (indirect) introduction, as it made me the proud owner of my first Leica M and my first Leica lens, and I can't be happier about my purchase.
For random business needs over the years and with a daunting struggle to find the right camera that can satisfy both my professional and personal preferences, I have owned several camera systems, ranging from Hasselblad to Fuji, Nikons and Leicas (V, C, X systems). But in the last few years I found myself slowly breaking out of the shell of practicality and convenience and shifting towards the camera choices that brings more life and reflect more of me into my pictures. Nothing even came close to achieving this life long purpose other than the Leica.
Because of my helpless weakness towards black and white photography, I came so close to buying the Monochrom recently. That was shortly before the M240 came out. When it did, I was torn between the two for a while. Additionally, I had never owned Leica lenses and I was satisfied with using the Noktons. Reading and listening to your reviews on the M240, the Monochrom and the M 50mm lenses daily was very helpful. It provided key insights that helped me reach a decision and urged me to connect with Ken Hansen. I have to admit that Hansen provided me with the best service I ever received, (so thank you!!). This week, I got my M240 and my first Leica lens 50mm Summicron, and I had the opportunity to test them in a photo shoot I had the next day, and I have to say, I am in love all over again.
I say 'again', because one thing I forgot to mention about me is that I have a love story with Leica from a very young age. It started with the M6 back in the early 80s. Many years went by and I never afforded to get my favorite camera. In the last ten years I started buying few Vluxes and the X. They deliver awesome results but they never filled the gap for me. It wasn't till two years ago when I bought an ME, and very recently, my first love, a used M6. That was a thirty-year wait for me, lengthened by the false conviction that Leica is not a practical choice for a professional photographer. I couldn't have been more wrong. Now I have the M and the Summicron and I can't be more impressed by the quality, sharpness, color rendering and overall mysterious feel of its images. I am now certain it will be THE camera for me, for weddings, portraits, fashion and all. Finally I want to thank you again for your very helpful blog and to share with you some shots from my very first shoot with the M.
The very first click, the 0001 was of my little boy (who is having the same love story with Leicas like me :))
Then I went on to my shoot with a client of mine and took the M240 with so much love and confidence to do the shoot with 🙂

The seat-footrest-handlebar settings bring everything within the reach of most people and the clear clocks give you all the info you need on a bike of this size, although there is no fuel gauge. It's a pet hate of mine in that I think all bikes should have one as they never give you mpg figures, one ride to empty on motorways will have different figures to A road riding?
The engine, a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, forward-inclined parallel 4-cylinder, 4-valves, DOHC unit is a little pearler with controllable power low down which is ideal for the 'new' rider, but it will also get a shift on if you turn the throttle a bit quicker and further, so even experienced riders can have fun on it. It does top the ton easily but it's revving a bit! It makes 78bhp @ 10,000 rpm so the power is there to use.
The steering and controls are all up to the job of making your trip as effortless as possible, the controls are light operating and the steering is very neutral. The forks are non adjustable but are not too soft, the rear mono shock has some adjustment but I imagine most riders will not touch the standard settings.
The brakes are very good, even hauling up 18 stone at speed they didn't complain too much, I had the ABS version which worked ok when used in anger. The rear gives you a certain amount of feel as long as you're not too heavy footed where you leave a line of rubber behind.
The styling is very good bringing it in line, and up to date with the majority of the other bikes in this group like Honda's hornet. I had a weekend riding it around which I mainly spent on A & B roads as there is no wind protection as such, though the headlight surround gave you some.
It is a lot of fun to ride once you get used to the screaming engine and to get the most from it you need to keep above mid revs, find some nice twisty roads and sweeping corners and you'll be impressed what this little bike can do.
The Diversion version comes with a half fairing which will keep the worst of any weather off, and will make those longer trips/commutes that bit more relaxing.
As a point of interest it has the smallest end can I have ever seen on a bike, some of the Marshall units are small but this one is tiny. As a result you have a nice tidy bike.
There's nothing on the bike I would moan about, it is built as a cheap introduction to new riders and it is excellent value @ £4,999 otr add £350 for the ABS. I'd have a yellow one if I was buying.
Thanks to Yamaha UK for the loan of the bike.

So the other week I gatecrashed someone's leaving do who I didn't know. Basically I was at one set of leaving drinks, and Welsh friend was at another at a pub a couple of doors down, and we wanted to get together. So I slipped away joined in their little event, far more sedate than the one I was leaving, which suited me fine, as I had a kind 'two drinks max and I'm outta here' feeling.
The most hilarious part of the evening was when I caught sight of the leaver, who I had never met before, a young woman (well, younger than me and Cerys) who was dressed up like she was starring in the 90s film The Craft. Short skirt, cropped top, fishnets, heels and *a choker*. She was definitely "going on" somewhere once the slightly more mature members of the party finished drinking their sensible sized glasses of Sauv Blanc and departed. But she was so at odds with her surroundings and company that I couldn't help but widen my eyes at Cerys who told me "she's been wearing that since 8am this morning."
Well, frankly, if I had my time again I'd have worn a lot more fabulous outfits at 8am, so good for her! But it did give me pause when thinking about this week and the sartorial decisions required about going out straight after work, which I am doing two nights running (get me!). I approached the issue with one solution: metallics!
Yesterday, prior to *a very special leaving event*, I mixed my going out skirt (metallic jacquard purple stars) with a sensible top and my normal black tights/ankle boots combo to take me from the office to the cocktail bar. This was a relatively successful gambit, although the shortness and sparkliness of the skirt was commented upon in the cocktail bar, and a comment about 'the bend and snap' from someone who is not a reader of this blog (as far as I know…)! Under the sensible top, I wore a t-shirt with diamante sparkles, so when the dancing started I was able to strip off a layer and get down to the cheesy songs (more on that another time). The skirt is from Warehouse, which thanks to The Pool, I gave a second chance last year after years of writing it off, and it's been an absolute treasure trove.
Tonight I bid farewell to another very special lady, but it's a more casual event, and it's Dress Down Friday, so it's jeans and a sweatshirt. But oh! What a sweatshirt! Metallic polka dots, matched with my gold Converse. Adding a little sparkle elevates this from the mundane to the marvelous, I think, and I'll be supremely comfy too. Win win. I love the combination of navy blue and gold on the Boden sweatshirt- softer and more forgiving than black, although that has its place too. The only thing I'd say about the sweatshirt is I could have bought a size S, as the M is generous, but it gives a good oversized look. I wish they'd used gold thread on the cuffs and neck, that would have made it perfect.
Pictures by colleagues! One in the cocktail bar and one in the office…

The international vs. residential label in the case of cars can be a source of significant confusion. When buying the right motor vehicle professional for maintenance or repair service of your vehicle, one could not instantly presume an automobile is foreign-made based totally on its nameplate. While the car could be a Japanese version, in most cases it's mainly included domestic parts made in the USA, and may also have been built stateside. Whether you ought to take your auto to a residential or an import car repair shop with a genuine X431 DIAGUN is needed is a matter of car beginning, however more vital is the car's assigned market, and also exactly where the substitute components are generated.
Real import automobiles ought to always be serviced at certified import automobile service center with a genuine X431 DIAGUN. Many nominally international automobiles are developed with domestic components and assembled in U.S. factories. Consequently, these makes and also versions are made according to American production specifications because they are planned to be owned below. True imports, by comparison, are developed for international highways and also built to occasionally extensively various specifications. Because of the confusion surrounding some foreign automobiles put together domestically, it assists to compare import and also residential cars instead of foreign and residential vehicles.
Imports such as Mercedes, Audi and also Porsche function German-made parts and also assembly. These cars lug no domestic brand and also need an import automobile repair services and upkeep specialist for service. On the various other hand, lots of Honda as well as Toyota models are put together in the States with roughly 75% residential parts. While they lug a foreign brand, virtually every little thing regarding their residential line is created for UNITED STATE intake, so a domestic mechanic must be well furnished to work with them.
By definition, a "domestic" vehicle must contain at the very least 75% parts created in the United States or Canada. Making matters also a little bit much more complicated, Ford, as an example, assembles a number of its vehicles in Mexico, but utilizes locally generated elements. Therefore, ideal maintenance ought to be discovered in the U.S. And, if this isn't really puzzling enough yet, it worsens with designs like Ford's Combination, Retreat and Edge. They bring a domestic tag, yet just in between 50% and 70% of their components are made stateside.
The inquiry stays: where you should take a lorry to get the best, most ideal solution? The Honda Accord, for example, is set up in Ohio from 70% domestic components, while the Toyota Corolla is generated in The golden state. This model, also, features a high proportion of residential components yet still has the "foreign" label. In both instances, a grease monkey specializing in residential cars will certainly have no worry obtaining parts for these automobiles, as they are all produced for use in The U.S.A..
Real imports, such as the aforementioned Mercedes, Porsche, Audi as well as Kia models plus BMW, Saab, Volkswagen as well as various other brand names utilize statistics measurements, feature distinctive drive trains as well as various other systems and also frequently require very specialized tools as well as mechanic competence to be effectively preserved. When substitute components are needed, they need to be imported from the country of origin because they are developed to foreign requirements. For these reasons, it's essential to take these imports to a repair shop with a genuine X431 DIAGUN licensed by the maker, because this is where you will find a mechanic that has the knowledge as well as skill necessary to appropriately service a particular model as well as have the recognized access to the appropriate components for your auto.
Discovering a respectable import car repair shop with a genuine X431 DIAGUN may take a little examining. Many true import auto mechanics will certainly advertise makings as well as models they specialize in. International cars and truck clubs are a fantastic source of details for discovering the best shop, as various other owners have comparable concerns. With a little research, as well as maybe some excellent reference resources, picking the very best import auto shop to keep and also repair your automobile must not be too difficult.

Book your flight today to this stunning volcanic island and before you know it, you'll be soaking up the sunshine!
Why you should go
Tenerife is the largest member of the Canary Island family and it's a hotspot for all kinds of sun seekers. Whether you're a family of four looking for some fun in the sun or a gang of good mates celebrating a special occasion, there's something for everyone in Tenerife. From attractive beaches and exotic wildlife to water parks and Spain's tallest mountain, you'll have a list of things to do as long as your arm!
Why not spend a day out on the Atlantic Ocean for a spot of whale or dolphin watching? You can book tours and day trips easily through a number of beach stalls and we would also recommend visits to likes of Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago, Costa Adeje and of course Playa de Los Cristianos.
The top tourist attraction in Tenerife is Siam Park; a Thai-themed water park filled with white knuckle rides that will have your adrenalin pumping. For animal lovers, make sure you visit Loro Parque or Jungle Park and if you fancy a pretty impressive view, get a cable car up Mount Teide which is 3,718 metres above sea level.
Tenerife is a great place to party and it's an island renowned for its nightlife. Get your dancing shoes on and take a tour of the wide range of restaurants and bars in both Los Cristanos and Las Americas.
When you should go
The reason why Tenerife is so popular amongst millions of tourists is its almost all year round sunshine. Whether you travel in December or June, you're almost guaranteed warm weather and Spanish sun, but just bear in mind, July and August are the warmest and busiest with temperatures reaching 28°C.
Where you should stay
The most popular resorts are located in areas such as Los Cristianos, Las Americas and for upmarket hotels, you should try Costa Adeje. No matter your budget, you're guaranteed to find a place to stay which is right for you.
Don't miss!
Don't forget, there's more to Tenerife than just the bars – make sure you check out these hidden gems on your visit:
- El Cine – for the freshest seafood right on the beach, try this backstreet Spanish restaurant. With an extremely minimal menu, all produce is caught that day and when it's gone, it's gone!
- Garachico and Buenavista del Norte Natural Pools – Tenerife's rocky landscape has created this stunning natural pool which is a must-see and a great day out for all the family.
- Papagayo Beach Club – With a cocktail in hand and the salty wind in your hair, relax on lavish sunbeds in this chic beach club.

For resolving host names and addresses via DNS, Version 2.1.2 and earlier versions of the GNU C Library are vulnerable. Later versions are not vulnerable.
For the less commonly used action of resolving network names and addresses via DNS as per Internet RFC 1011, Version 2.2.5 and earlier versions are vulnerable.
To work around the problems, modify the file /etc/nsswitch.conf so that it contains "hosts:" and "networks:" lines that do not mention "dns". For example, you might use the following lines in your /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
# This "networks:" line omits "dns" to work around a bug in glibc
# 2.2.5 and earlier.
networks: files nisplus
# This "hosts:" line omits "dns" to work around a bug in glibc 2.1.2
# and earlier.
hosts: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
[CERT/CC: This workaround will break network and host resolution that is not provided through some other means, such as database files (/etc/hosts, /etc/networks) or NIS. In most cases, resolution for non-local networks and hosts will be disabled.]
Most GNU/Linux distributions with glibc 2.1.3 and later ship with a line like "networks: files" in /etc/nsswitch.conf and thus unless this line is changed they are not vulnerable.
To fix the problem instead of working around it, we suggest upgrading to Version 2.1.3 or later, and applying the following patch, taking care to relink any statically linked applications that use the affected functions. This patch can also be found at:
RCS file: /cvs/glibc/libc/resolv/nss_dns/dns-network.c,v

Josh Carr
Check out his work!
We are truly fortunate to have some beautiful picturesque scenery day in and day out in the Central Wheatbelt and Avon Valley, especially with some of those glorious sunrises and sunsets on the horizon out on the farm.
Now a whole new perspective of daily life out here can be appreciated in the wonderful works of Josh Carr, a young Merredin local who has been capturing some truly amazing photos and films with his drone.
One of his films travels across the Shire of Muckinbudin and it is truly breathtaking, take a look for yourself:
I had him on air recently, saying he's had zero training/ taken any classes or courses in photography, which I left me gob smacked because the quality of his work is incredible and really encapsulated the beauty of our region. If you yourself have some photos you're proud of our Central Wheatbelt and Avon Valley, please do feel free to send them through, always great to show the wondrous Wheatbelt :)

|Monsters and Babies! It was another week of some serious sorting through all the shorty's to get our keepers again this past week. All I can tell you is that the future looks very bright indeed for all of Lake Erie. The big fish and babies are all mixed in together and they are EVERYWHERE! There is just no rhyme or reason to it. You catch a 31 incher and the very next rod that fires is maybe a 8 or 9 incher. The week before last week the 14 inchers invaded us. They are still out there big time but there is also now a real onslaught of one year olds ranging in size from 7 to 10 inches. You can hardly tell they are on your lines at times!
|Oh, and did I mention the White Bass? Just like the last couple few years where we got invaded right around mid June with zillions of White Bass, here we go again. And unlike the nuisance little Walleyes that still put a smile on my face, the White Bass onslaught is exhausting and frustrating both. Now not only do we have to weed through all of the two year classes of under size aggressive Walleyes, suddenly we are plummeted with these stinking creeps too. And yet, through it all we are pulling some really nice big fish. We took more 31 inch Walleyes this past week then we have altogether the last month combined that I've been running trips here. Monsters and babies. AND WHITE BASS! Errrrrrrrr!
|And the weather, well lets just say it was another challenging week. Not a big deal for those that only fish one day or two a week and can pick your days but tough for those professionals that are scheduled to go 7 days a week. We had it all. Thunderstorms like those that we had on Thursday that chased us off the lake not only once but twice in the same day! Exhausting pulling everything in and making a high speed run for the barn to play it safe. And then venture out again only to have more pop up storms blossom out of nowhere and force us to retreat once again. Then followed up with small craft flags on Friday making for a very choppy lake. Doable, but not necessarily the most comfortable of days. Still we caught a nice big tub of fish including a beautiful Steelhead Trout which thus far this season has been few and far between.
|So next weeks forecast looks rather tranquil. I think I'm going to continue to push "The Trophy" northward in search of the larger migrating schools of Walleyes. Everything is always like clock work around here on the big lake and very repetitious. Just like how the White Bass showed up, I'm sure the larger schools of larger Walleyes can't be far behind. I guess I'll have to be the first one to really stick my nose out there and look. Honestly, I am getting quite bored running back and fourth in the same near shore waters. It wasn't so bad before all the other boaters started Walleye fishing. Now between the junk fish, boat traffic and the toddler Walleyes, I'm ready to go get lost somewhere offshore all by myself and hunt down some of those migrating piggies! I got a sneaking feeling when we do find them out there, the Steelies won't be far behind either . Maybe next week you'll hear me complaining about how the trout are now attacking me too! Whaaa whaaa whaaa! Lol!

Celebrating Our 30th Season!

As played on…
Praise for our On The Line EP
recorded and produced with George Shilling (Primal Scream, Bernard Butler, Teenage Fanclub):
"Tight harmonies recall the splendour of Teenage Fanclub, so it is no surprise that the latter group's producer could be found at the helm of this very impressive EP." – The Musician magazine
"loving the harmonies on that… Rosetta Fire are back!" – Brody Swain, BBC Introducing, on the single, Mr Telephone
"Mr Telephone (taken from the current EP, On The Line) is a superb track, with top class musicianship dove-tailing perfectly with some incredible vocal delivery." – Pete Chambers BEM, Curator of Coventry Music Museum and music historian
"(On Mr Telephone) A beautiful mix of moods and styles which fit together to create a song with multiple dynamics… (On Cry Out Loud) Powerful and melodic rock number with compelling shifts in pace and tension… (On FATM) I can't wait to hear it in the confines of a packed inside venue." – Andy Holdcroft, Hot Music Live
Our Mr Telephone promo video was directed by Andrew Scott-Marshall (Placebo, Skunk Anansie).
What people say about Rosetta Fire…
"Many have cited this five piece to be the next big thing out of our region, and in truth it's hard to argue with that, as there doesn't seem to be any major element missing from this unit that could possibly hold them back" – Pete Chambers BEM, Curator of Coventry Music Museum and music historian
"They may nod towards jazz, folk and funk, but for the most part this five piece make infectious power pop" – The Musician, official magazine of the Musician's Union
"Their happy, infectious indie tunes and harmonious vocals will have you dancing. This band are definitely one to see" – Richard Ounsworth, music journalist
"What struck me that afternoon was the impact on me of their performance, given that to my mind it was one of the strongest Leamington Peace Festival line-ups for a long long time and the impact on the audience: they played towards the end of a really sweltering day when everyone was wilting and still stirred up a storm." – Andy Holdcroft, Hot Music Live
"Big things are in the pipeline for Rosetta Fire… the band are clearly veering towards the professional circuit" – Warwick Courier
"A mash of pop melodies, 40s jazz inspired hooks and folk rock vibes" – God Is In The TV music zine

Elementary school could close due to lack of students
RANDOLPH (WGME) – An elementary school in Randolph could soon be closed.
School officials blame low enrollment, but parents are hoping to voice their concerns at a meeting Tuesday night.
Right now, there are only 41 students enrolled at the TC Hamlin School. Officials say that's hindering the students' education, but parents say losing the school will hurt their entire community.
The MSAD 11 School Board says a committee recommended to them that the school should be closed.
It's been a discussion for years, but with a declining student body, officials say they've had to combine classes and grades.
While it's not official yet, parents say there hasn't been enough public input.
If the school were to close, the 41 students would be transferred to the school in Pittston, where new modular classrooms are being built.
If the board choses to close TC Hamlin, Randolph voters would be able to vote on that decision, and if they want to keep it open, the town would have to pays its operating costs, which could mean higher taxes.
While parents hope it doesn't come to that, school officials say their vote is to give a better education.
Tuesday's meeting for public comment will be at the school at 6 p.m. Then the school board will make a final vote February 26 on whether to close the school.

Chevrolet - Corvair Coupe II
In 1960, Pininfarina put forward a project of their own providing the attractive, if controversial, rear engine corvair chassis with a body. This version was the first of two chasses to be bodied by Pininfarina in the course of the following three years. The first version being shown at the Paris and Turin salons in 1960. Two years later, at the Paris salon, the chassis was shown again, this time a little less radical, but a more convincing project that involved a lot of work. Finally, the example shown here was probably the most successful of the group. By 1963, it managed to be a four seater or at least a 2 + 2 and remains forever, as so much of Pininfarina's work, "variations on a theme". This car was at the Pininfarina museum for many years and eventually made its way to the US. The car was restored a number of years ago by noted restorer. This is an extremely unusual car and a one-off designed corvair.

"What's the movie about?" a very solemn man in a cowboy hat asks us.
I hesitate. One of the first things I learned when traveling to West Texas to shoot our low budget indie BEST FRIENDS FOREVER was how to pitch to strangers in order to convince them to let us shoot in their gas station/taco stand/state highway. My producer, Stacey Storey, usually used "we're just a bunch of Texas gals coming home to make a movie" whereas I generally went with the "it's such a small production" casual route.
But by the time we talked to the gentleman who ran The Cowboy Church (not a joke), I was exhausted from trying to find several new locations at the last minute. Noticing this, my first AD jumps in, eloquently telling the cowboy the plot of our project. At some point, he tears up as he says, "The movie is about the world falling apart around you. It makes you ask yourself what's most important to you."
I hold my breath and look at the tall Christian cowboy standing in front of me.
"That sounds great. Y'all can use the church for your little movie."
It was the day before the first day of shooting and we had now officially secured The Cowboy Church as our base camp. Sure, it was four miles from the location, but we were shooting in the middle of nowhere, outside of Alpine, Texas, and we felt fortunate to even find a building with running water.
When talking about shooting our apocalyptic road trip movie, my goal was to stay as authentic as possible. In the film, the two main characters drive through West Texas and, due to the lack of people, radio signals and general absence of life, have no idea that a nuclear bomb has detonated in the United States. I thought it was a genius plan to shoot it like a road trip – everyone could drive to West Texas and we could shoot on the empty highways there. Then, we could caravan to Austin for the remainder of the film.
When I say, "film," I mean film. Against all odds and perhaps this is one of those instances where ignorance is bliss meets my stubbornness, we decided to shoot our movie on Super 16 mm. The gritty texture of Super 16 seemed like the perfect medium for capturing the beautiful West Texas landscapes.
Most independent, shoestring budget features don't shoot on film because it's too expensive. Stacey judiciously figured out that we could afford between 1200 and 1500 feet per day of shooting. Anyone who has ever shot on film just gasped.
The first day's location was where three highways intersected but was surprisingly light on traffic. The mountains were on one side, the desert on the other and endless highway on the last, creating a perfect triangle.
We had switched to the "triangle" after taking my sound team (one very brave woman) to my original choice for the location. She shook her head.
"It's like a wind tunnel."
While the "triangle" wasn't a complete sound nightmare, it did have another drawback we discovered about West Texas – no cell phone service. The first day began and everyone was late but they couldn't call to let us know. If they got lost, they couldn't Google where they were or look at the map in their inbox.
In spite of all of this, as the sun rose over the desert and I watched my DP set up her first shot, I thought that we were in the most beautiful and perfect place in the world for this film.
Somehow we successfully completed our first day even though we had to shuttle people back and forth from the Cowboy Church (we later got an RV to be on set all the time which at one point spilled the entire contents of its waste system onto a Texas highway). I quickly learned how little film 1200 feet actually is and how to divide a scene up so that we didn't shoot the entire thing from an angle I wouldn't use (sorry to my editor). I also learned to prep my actors on being ready for only shooting one or two takes (sorry to the actors).
And even though we didn't get to see the labor of our work until a full week after it was shot because we had to ship off our film to be developed and wait for it to return (in the cheapest ground shipping possible), when we saw the expansive landscapes on the grainy film stock, I knew dragging everyone out to the middle of nowhere had been the right choice.
Brea Grant is the director of Best Friends Forever, a post-apocalyptic road trip movie premieres tonight at the 2013 Slamdance Film Festival. Brea has acted in several films and television shows including Heroes, Dexter and Friday Night Lights.

NYSC State Coordinator in Ondo said the alleged corps members were only handed over to appropriate authorities.
It was reported on Thursday, November 9 that the men of the 32 Artillery Brigade of the Nigeria Army, Akure arrested four corps members serving in Ondo State in Ikaramu Akoko North Local Government for posting photographs of their girlfriends online.
The corps members were said to have invited the ladies to a hotel where they urged them to go nude and take their pictures thereafter.
However, the National Youth Service Corp Coordinator in Ondo State, Mrs Grace Akpabio has dismissed the report of the arrest of the corp members by the Military.
Akpabio dismissed the arrest reports during her visit to corps members at Oke-Agbe Akoko, Local Government area of the state.
ALSO READ: Corps members get multiple 'allawee' due to technical hitch
She said the alleged corps members were only handed over to appropriate authorities, so as to secure them from possible attack by the victims and their relatives.
Akpabio therefore advised corps members serving in the State to always remember the core values of the NYSC scheme and remain of good behaviour.
