The DeLand police officer who ran over and killed a fleeing man during a traffic stop was fired Friday, a decision "made in the best interests of the community, the city and the department," DeLand police Chief Bill Ridgway said Friday.
The DeLand police officer who ran over and killed a fleeing man during a traffic stop was fired Friday, a decision "made in the best interests of the community, the city and the department," DeLand police Chief Bill Ridgway said Friday.
Marlon Brown, 38, was killed May 8 after a Volusia County sheriff's deputy spotted him in a car near Green Street and Parsons Avenue, all four doors open and stopped in the road. When Brown pulled away, Deputy John Szabo noticed him driving without a seat belt. He turned on his emergency lights and tried to stop Brown at 12:36 a.m.
Brown was run over by Officer James Harris' patrol car as he jumped out of his car and tried to flee from police through a vegetable garden behind 901 S. Delaware Ave., according to preliminary law enforcement reports. Brown was running from another DeLand officer, Justin Ferrari, who had attempted to make a traffic stop. Harris drove to the left of Ferrari's patrol car and knocked down and ran over Brown, according to investigating troopers.
Brown's death outraged residents in Spring Hill, a primarily African-American community and one of the poorest sections of Volusia County. Leaders in the community called for action, but patience, as the investigation into why Brown was run over continues.
"This is a regrettable and tragic situation for everyone involved," Ridgway said in the statement, released shortly before 6 p.m. Friday. "It should be noted that the traffic accident involving Marlon Brown's death is still under active investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Due to that ongoing investigation I am unable to comment further."
Krystal Brown, Marlon Brown's ex-wife, said she and her family were encouraged by the news.
"This is definitely a start in the right direction," she said.
FHP spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes said this would not affect her agency's traffic homicide investigation.
"[Investigations] take as long as they take," Montes said. "We do a complete and thorough investigation."
Krystal Brown, 38, said she thinks the DeLand Police Department moved forward with the officer's termination before the completion of FHP's investigation because it believes there was wrongdoing.
Ridgway's termination letter to Harris was brief.
"I have determined that you have failed to meet probationary standards. Effective immediately, your employment with the City of DeLand has been terminated. This decision was made in the best interests of the department, the city and the community."
Harris was a probationary employee hired in August. He hadn't yet received his first review.
"He's been terminated because of his probationary status," DeLand police Sgt. Chris Estes said.
Immediately following the incident, Harris, a 25-year-old military veteran and rookie officer whose annual salary was $32,235 per year, was put on paid leave.
Brown had problems with the law before. He had more than two dozen arrests in 20 years and was released from jail in April after serving time for drug possession. Friends believe it is unlikely he had a valid driver's license the night of his death and feared returning to jail.
Five days after Marlon Brown was killed, more than 300 people attended a gathering organized by Volusia County Councilwoman Joyce Cusack at the Greater Union First Baptist Church.
Cusack asked the community to form a task force to act as a voice in the probe into Brown's death and to work on developing a "climate of change" in the relationship the Spring Hill community has with police. She also asked them to be patient as authorities investigate.
Hundreds also attended the May 18 funeral for Brown, who was a beloved barber in the community, known for liking to chat with his customers and treat them to a free haircut.
In a phone interview Friday evening, Cusack said she thought the Police Department was going to wait until the completion of FHP's investigation before taking any action with Harris' employment.
"My first thought was somebody must know something about a report that has not been made privy to the citizens," Cusack said. "Why would you terminate a person without having all of the facts in?"
She said she isn't sure how the officer's termination is going to resonate with the community and expects another gathering will be organized when FHP's investigation is finished.
Krystal Brown said she posted Ridgway's statement on Facebook, and members of the Spring Hill community, where she also lives, have responded positively.
She also said this will probably provide some relief to her and Marlon Brown's three children, ages 22, 13 and 12.
"But of course it's an emotional roller coaster and daily struggle," Krystal Brown said.
She said she's trying to be patient and listen to the advice of Cusack and the NAACP.
"They have the best knowledge of what needs to be done," Krystal Brown said.

I believe political correctness should be removed from society. Political correctness not only fails to accomplish its goal of increasing respect and tolerance for others, but it encourages an unfamiliar type of prejudice, an intolerance of free speech. I believe that the idea of political correctness is hypocritical and creates the illusion of respect and tolerance for the minority, but only succeeds in alienating the majority.
My brother has become a victim of this issue. In sixth grade my brother James was suspended from school for being racist. I've known my brother for fifteen years; he's not racist. What he is, is a white male in a world of reversed prejudice; a prejudice against the majority.
While in class, James overheard a few girls talking. When listening more intently, he picked up his name mixed in with some Spanish. James is not bilingual, but he knows enough Spanish to pick up the inappropriate words. Upset, James turned to the girls and tried to address his issue. He said, "Would you people please stop talking about me in Spanish." The girls were immediately flustered with anger.
"You people?" they retorted, "Why do you say that? Because we're Spanish?"
"No, because you people are talking about me." Before the words could escape his lips, the teacher in charge was on the scene.
When he arrived on the scene the girls quickly explained their side of the story. As soon as the issue of racism became his problem the teacher did what society had trained teachers and other workers dependant on acceptance of their values, he panicked. He grabbed James under the opinion by that accusing him of being a racist and thus prosecuting him, he protected the reputation of being someone intolerant of intolerance.
Soon after, James graduated with the label of racist on his record. He has since moved on, but the frustration that I felt then has not been resolved. I can not move on because the issue has not been resolved. Recently, Fox news had concerned itself with issues concerning "Black America." Now I did not listen to the entire broadcast as the idea of Black America was upsetting enough. I believe in difference, but I believe grouping people is separating people. By identifying one's self with groups one detaches themselves from everyone else. "To include is to exclude."
I believe political correctness is an issue. I believe it's prominent and won't go away overnight. I believe that this whole idea of "protecting" people through words is stupid. I believe that it is my right to say whatever the hell comes to mind. I am not a very hateful person. I do not say very hateful things. Even still I am scrutinized and oppressed while the KKK was allowed to march through the main street of a large town. When the mayor of aforementioned town was interviewed on why he let this happen he simply responded, "It's their right." Well I believe freedom of speech is my right too.

Place the potatoes in a large pot. Pour in enough salted cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with the lemon juice and let sit for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Add the oregano, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the potatoes and toss. Transfer to a shallow baking sheet and roast, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 35 minutes. Sprinkle the potatoes with the paprika. Serve hot.

It's not quite finished yet and hopefully at some point this week ( I am still working on my sons scrapbook) it will be put on a card. It needs a little bit more, but I am quite pleased with how it's turning out. The stamp was from today's delivery which was a box of Chocolate Baroque goodies the flower is from their punky flower stamp set. Something else I really need to play with. So much to do so little time .............. Watch this space!
Sunday, 9 February 2014
Thank you PaperArtsy!
I received a small(ish ;-) ) box of new goodies yesterday from PaperArtsy. Delivery can take a while to get here in China so the anticipation of a box of goodies arriving gets rather exciting by the time it arrives - it can take up to three weeks!! Yesterday my box contained some more fresco finish paints ( which by the way are fabulous and work really well with distress paints, inks and stains) I digress - and also my first stash of treasured gold and some grunge paste. Having watched several of Leandra from PaperArsty's video. I had to have a quick play this afternoon and this is what I have come up with so far............

Daft Punk wins big at Grammys
(LOS ANGELES-AFP) – French electro duo Daft Punk took the two top prizes at the Grammys on Sunday, while hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were named best new artist at music's version of the Oscars.
The helmeted French duo — who took home five trophies including best album and best record — got music's A-listers dancing in the front row at the 56th annual Grammy Awards, performing their catchy hit "Get Lucky" with veteran Stevie Wonder and Pharrell Williams.
New Zealand teen songstress Lorde won the other big prize of the night — best song for her mega-hit "Royals."
Macklemore and Lewis staged the night's most powerful moment, when 33 couples were married as the Seattle duo performed "Same Love," a moving rap defense of gay rights and attack on homophobia.
Daft Punk praised the mass wedding of gay and heterosexual couples as "fantastic" in a message read by their songwriter, Paul Williams, who shared the best album Grammy for "Random Access Memories."
"What they wanted me to say is that as elegant and as classy as the Grammy has ever been, is the moment when we… saw all those wonderful marriages and that same love," he said, to applause.
After Daft Punk's five awards, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis won four. Pharrell Williams took home four as well, including producer of the year.
Justin Timberlake won three awards including best music video, on which Jay-Z shared a credit, but Taylor Swift went home empty-handed.
Going into Sunday's show, Jay-Z scored the most nominations with nine nods, followed by California hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Lewis, Justin Timberlake and Williams with seven each.
Other winners included Paul McCartney, who played a new song with a band including fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr on drums, while John Lennon and George Harrison's widows also joined the show, in a rare Fab Four family reunion.
The first major award of the night went to Macklemore & Lewis for best new artist, while their debut album "The Heist" won best rap album. They also won for best rap song and best rap performance for "Thrift Shop."
"First and foremost I want to thank our fans, the people that got us on this stage. Before there was any media, before there was any buzz about us, before there was a story, there was our fans," said Macklemore.
Along with the best album and best record Grammys, Daft Punk won best dance/electronica album for "Random Access Memories," best pop duo/group performance for "Get Lucky," and best engineered non-classical album.
The Grammys show, music's biggest night, kicked off with a sultry performance of "Drunk in Love" by the first couple of hip-hop, Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Lorde was next up with "Royals" — beyond her song of the year prize, she also took home the statue for best pop solo performance.
"Thank you everyone who has let this song explode. Because it's been mental," the 17-year-old said.
Swift gave an energetic rendition of "All Too Well." Rockers Imagine Dragons collaborated with Lamar on a spirited mash-up of their hits "Radioactive" and "M.A.A.D. City".
The show featured other eye-popping collaborations, including rockers Metallica with acclaimed Chinese pianist Lang Lang.
Other performers included a who's who of music's finest, ranging from Katy Perry and Robin Thicke to veterans Carole King — who played a duet with Sara Bareilles — and Madonna, who joined the "Same Love" mass wedding performance.
British songstress Adele — who swept the Grammys top prizes in 2012 — shared a prize Sunday, for best song written for visual media for 007 movie "Skyfall," with songwriter Paul Epworth.
Led Zeppelin won best rock album for "Celebration Day," recorded at their 2007 live reunion show at London's O2 Arena, in the pre-telecast section of the show, while the Gipsy Kings and South Africa's Ladysmith Black Mambazo shared the world music Grammy.
The three-and-a-half-our show at the Staples Center ended with a rock supergroup featuring Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham.

24 dead as coordinated Taliban terror bombs blast through city
A SERIES of bombs have ripped through the Afghan capital killing dozens in one of the bloodiest Taliban attacks this year.
"When the first explosion happened people crowded to the site and then the second blast occurred"Witness Samiullah Safi
Twin blasts in quick succession tore through an afternoon crowd in the usually prosperous business and residential area of Kabul.
Officials say 24 people were killed and 91 wounded.
Witness Samiullah Safi said: "When the first explosion happened people crowded to the site and then the second blast occurred, which was really powerful and killed lots of people."
Meanwhile terrorists barricaded themselves in the offices of an international aid offices in the wake of the bombings.
Sporadic gunfire and explosions could be heard as day broke.
Fraidoon Obaidi, chief of the Kabul police Criminal Investigation Department, said one of the two gunmen who had entered the office of Care International in Kabul had been killed but another was holding out.
He said: "We have rescued several families from the area."
The double bombing came less than two weeks after gunmen attacked the American University in Kabul, killing 13 people.
The atrocities show the Taliban are not beaten despite being fought by an international force including the UK.
Some 454 British soldiers have died fighting the Islamic fanatics who were toppled following the 9/11 attacks in New York in 2001 but have recently been making a come back.
The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the latest attack, where one of its suicide bombers donated suicide vests caught soldiers and civilians rushing to help victims of the first explosion.
Kabul traffic was blocked in several parts of the city and schools in the area were closed.
An army general and two senior police commanders were among the dead, a Defence Ministry official said.

Fingerprint Snowdrop Paintings
As it was meant to snow today we didn't go out so I thought we would brave getting messy and do a bit of painting. This children always enjoy this although I always balk a bit at the fact that they seem to get the paint everywhere!
Anyway I wanted to do some pictures that would make us think of spring and I thought that we could use our fingers to paint some snowdrop flowers. The first bulb of the year to appear above ground they are very pretty and I thought that we could use them to make our long overdue Christmas thank you cards too.
As snowdrops are white you need white and green paint and some coloured card so that the white shows up.
Just draw the flower stems on the card in green and then get your child to dip their finger into the white paint. Press down three times for each flower so that the fingerprints overlap like the petals do.
The results were very pretty and also very personal - a fun spring craft and a reminder of how tiny your children's fingers are.

Nendo has released three new pieces for Urushi Kobo Oshima, a traditional lacquer workshop founded in 1909 in Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture. The workshop proudly continues the distinctive techniques of regional Yamanaka lacquerware. Lacquerware includes a variety of techniques, but Yamanaka lacquer workshops are known for their mastery of wood turning.
For their lump-bowl, lump-cup and lump-plate, Nendo decided to take advantage of this wood turning technique, with the aim of heightening their users' awareness of the particular qualities of the wood in their hands. To begin with they enlarged and rounded the objects' base so that users can cradle them in their hands. This is where the 'lump' branding came about, the 'lump' base offers a newly tactile experience whereby the user does not need to support their object.
The exterior of the pieces are all of a natural finish that allow for the word grain to be emphasised. The exterior is in complete contrast with the interior of the pieces, which all have brightly coloured matte lacquer finishes. It is this combination of thickness, or lumpiness and the contrast in finishes that bring out the richness and appeal of wood as a medium and allow for a striking end product.

Here comes the bride: Chick Lit gets married
What are the best Chick Lit novels about brides?
Here is SheKnows Chick Lit's top 5 "Bride Lit" books to read while planning for "I do." And don't miss the opportunity to win a fabulously sexy Mia bustier and thong by Affinitas Intimates.
What kind of Chick Lit bride am I?
After 36-years, five months and 25 days (but who's counting?) I finally got engaged. As soon as my fiance slipped the sparkly ring on my finger, I started thinking, what kind of bride was I going to be? I didn't imagine myself as a Bridezilla, but I also knew I'd need to be in control of, um, everything. So, as I put on my wedding planner hat and began to map out the details of my wedding, I thought about the heroines in some of my all-time favorite Bride Lit novels.
Some made mistakes, others uncovered secrets and like any woman on her road to the altar, they all had a journey of ups and downs. But by the last page of their stories, everything turned out okay. And that's why I say reading a good Chick Lit book can be the perfect kind of escape- especially at a time like this.
So as I continue to excitedly plan for my own happy ending, when I come across an irritating email from a future in-law (I'm sorry the hotel doesn't have 250 count thread sheets!) instead of booking a massage appointment or scheduling an emergency therapy session, the first vow I'm making is to myself: to re-read some of my favorite Chick Lit books with brides.
At the very least, I'd prefer to think about a fictional bride's dilemmas than my own. Because, let's face it even for a woman in the, er, the middle of her third decade of life, big life changing event + family = guaranteed drama.
Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin
The poor bride-to-be heroine in this fabulous debut novel by Emily Giffin is betrayed by her fiancée and her best friend. Suddenly my own future hubby's indifference to the colors of our save the date card doesn't seem so bad.
Something Blue by Emily Giffin
Now you hear the story from the best friend's POV (Yeah, the one that cheated). Not that an affair is ever justified, but somehow Emily Giffin makes this woman who betrayed her best friend, sympathetic. She also makes me believe that my future in-law who keeps barraging me with annoying emails might just have her reasons.
(Both rights to Something Borrrowed and Something Blue were bought by Hilary Swank and her producing partner and SheKnows Chick Lit will be bringing fans all the latest on the movies!)
Shopaholic Ties The Knot by Sophie Kinsella
I love a book that makes me laugh out loud. Sophie Kinsella's heroine, Shopaholic Rebecca Bloomwood, attempts to plan two weddings at the same time. And it's fun to be an outsider looking in as she makes blunder after blunder while trying. Suddenly I don't feel so bad for forgetting to call the DJ back and misspelling certain friends names on our wedding website!
The Bachelorette Party by Karen McCullah Lutz
This is one of my favorite Chick Lit books of all time. (A little trivia: she also wrote the screenplay for Legally Blonde!) This book surrounds the events of a night we've all experienced…whether we've been the fool in the veil running around Vegas (which could now be me!) or one of the fools with a plastic penis around her neck chasing after the fool in the veil (which was at one point me!). It reminds me to not take myself too seriously while planning my big day.
I Do (But I Don't) by Cara Lockwood
I have a love affair with parentheses (as you can see from this post! And now!). So when I saw the title of this book, I was already hooked. This story told from a wedding planner's perspective is a fun read. It has a sequel (which I'm also a big fan of) that's called I Did (But I Wouldn't Now).
Both books remind you to have fun while planning your big day and don't let things like, a stalker ex-girlfriend dressed as a bridesmaid, get in your way! As far as I know, my fiance's exes are all married off so hopefully that won't be one of my problems!
Leave a comment below and tell us why you are in need of some racy and lacy lingerie (planning your own I do or just need to feel sexy?).

The survey states: >6. The use of the ACP mode will permit operation with antennas similar to the 18" dish used in direct broadcast television which would get around having antennas in CCR or antenna restricted communities. That is incorrect, or at least misleading. The federal preemption of CC&R's for small satellite dishes only applies to dishes that are designed to receive television broadcast or transceive fixed wireless. The FCC has made it very clear that it does not apply to amateur radio antennas, no matter how much they may resemble TV antennas. Reference: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.html The best we can hope for by designing for small dish antennas that resemble DBS antennas is to slip under the radar and be mistaken for TV receivers. If it comes down to any controversy over the placement of the antenna, we would have no protection from the FCC. 73 -Paul email@example.com _______________________________________________ Sent via email@example.com.

Bored of seeing the same old Shinobi screenshots? Good! You'll probably appreciate this fresh batch of screens, which shows off a couple of new areas. Surfing is back in Shinobi as well, and is controlled by tilting the system left and right.
These screens were sent out in the proper 3DS resolution (400 x 240 px), so you won't be able to blow them up to 6x the size like previous screenshots. For some odd reason, they also look a little grainier than the screenshots we've been seeing so far.
An image of parrying. I guess you'll be parrying gunfire as well as kunai.

Healthy Foods Instead of a Diet
Many people who want to lose weight immediately make a mistake of going on a diet. According to nutritionists and health experts, those who are fighting for a perfect body, must never starve. They recommend healthy foods instead of a diet as an essential part of any fitness program.
Eliminating almost everything and surviving merely on water, green tea or your favorite yogurt can be very dangerous to health as you are depriving the body of necessary fuel and forcing it to work in a new mode that the body is not used to. Also training on an empty stomach may cause nausea, dizziness and even fainting.
Now the question that arises is which food items are healthy and must be included in the meal in order to lose weight and lead a healthy lifestyle at the same time.
Here is a list of some healthy food items and their benefits for the body:
# The closer the product is to its natural state, the more beneficial it is for you. Fresh fruits and berries are very constructive in providing good health and can satisfy your requirements for sweets.
# Vegetables are the best sources of vitamins and minerals. Steamed vegetables can best retain their nutritional value and should be eaten instead of fried vegetables.
# If you are a snack lover, eat healthy snacks such as dried fruit, bars of grains or nuts that are rich in vitamins and minerals. You can also eat pasta and bread that are made of whole grain.
# Eat lean meats like fish that contain Omega-3 fatty acids which help in lowering cholesterol in the body. Consuming seafood twice or thrice a week will help you to protect yourself from the effects of stress. Fried fish and chicken are much healthier than roasted beef or venison.
# Finally, make water, milk and 100% fruits and vegetable juices as your main beverage. Keep consumption of sugary soft drinks to a minimum. If you find regular water to be tasteless, add a slice of lemon to give it some
By opting for these foods and incorporating them in your daily meals, you can escape the need of a diet to remain healthy.

No Bars on Books was a very successful award winning book drive conducted by Speech Pathology Australia's Tasmania Branch in 2015. With the support of the local community, speech pathologists collected community donations of new and second-hand books to help restock the local prison's existing Books-on-CD program.
In the Books-on-CD program, incarcerated parents are supported to record themselves reading a book, and then both the book and recording are given to their children. It is a program which has an evidence-base showing effective support for the maintenance of family connectedness during a term of incarceration.
While the No Bars on Books Facebook page continues to receive likes and members of the community continue to donate books; local charity, Chatter Matters Tasmania, will continue to distribute the books into the prison. For further information contact No Bars on Books.

I recently purchased and installed 2 XFX Radeon 5770's and have the crossfire bridge installed. I also installed 3 brand new 23" LCD's but also had the same issue on a 19" and 22" LCD.
The problem I am having is I have a odd screen flicker sort of thing going on that causes the image of my primary monitor to shift. This only happens when there is 3D application up and running on any monitor (windowed or maximized) and the flicker only occurs on my primary monitor. It appears for a split second (I had to use a ditigal camera because FRAPS wouldn't catch it) every 5-15 seconds.
I have applied a custom profile that fixes a 2D underclocking issue that is common with this card. The fix basically edited the clock speed of each card to idle at 600Mhz GPU(light 3D mode) instead of around 200Mhz (previous idle). The heavy 3D mode is still default at 850Mhz GPU / 1230 Memory I also set the fan control for each to 59% and this keeps them idle at 47C for the primary card and 45C for the secondary card. Like I said above, I have swapped out monitors and it occured before I upgrade from a 19" and 22" to 3 23" screens.
Here are some screen shots:

Featuring lush, dazzling visuals, terrific voice acting, and compelling gameplay, Trine combines elements of action games, puzzle games, RPGs, and platformers to create a truly memorable experience. One of the most visually-stunning games ever created - and great fun to boot - it's hard to imagine anyone not being utterly charmed by Trine. Recalling The Lost Vikings with its puzzle-platformer mechanics, the player can switch between three characters - a knight, a wizard, and a thief, each with their own unique set of abilities. There are many ways you can approach the obstacles you face in the levels. Do you want to have the wizard create a path across using his powers, or do you want to have the thief swing across with her grappling hook? While Trine is generally slow-paced, there is lots of action to be seen in the game as well. Most of the enemies you'll fight are endlessly-generating skeletons, but you'll also face off against giant boss monsters - you can use the knight to slash at them or the thief to shoot arrows at them, but the wizard has no offensive abilities beyond creating b,oxes on dropping them on enemy heads (which, of course, is always fun). As you progress through the game, you will level up, collect experience, find new weapons, learn new abilities, and become more powerful. Overall, despite the repetitive nature of the combat, Trine is a highly-recommended game for those craving a visual treat and a fun physics-based puzzle-platformer. The sequel, Trine 2, is also available on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
I played the PC version of Trine. It recommended that you use a gamepad for playing.

To indicate your support for this statement, please email your name and city to email@example.com friends,
You will no doubt be seeing media headlines "Venezuelan troops take TV equipment" and worse, circulating the world, many referring to "international criticism of [President Hugo Chavez's] decision not to renew RCTV's license and to replace Venezuela's most-watched channel with a state-backed network that will promote the values of his (sic) self-styled socialist revolution".
The "international criticism" referred to is being led by prominently identified right-wing identities and their media outlets, and their allies in the US Bush administration. This is a highly politicised campaign utilizing the international mass media.
It is based on the baldly-stated lie that the Chavez government is "closing" RCTV and "silencing" a dissenting voice. In fact, RCTV's 20-year concession has expired and the government, acting according to the Constitution, is exercising its right not to renew the concession due to repeated violations of Venezuela's broadcasting laws. It is use that concession to enable those denied access to the media a chance to broadcast. RCTV can continue to produce their materials and sell them commercially, and broadcast via satellite.
Venezuelan government research shows more than 600 other cases globally of a government deciding not to renew a TV broadcasting concession, yet it only the Venezuelan decision in relation to RCTV that is being condemned as an "attack on free speech". In April, in Peru, six media outlets had their licences revoked, yet none of those currently campaigning against Venezuela's decision uttered a word of protest.
Opposition leaders in Venezuela openly state that their aim in protesting the closure of RCTV is to return the country to the old "Fourth Republic" days and rid themselves of Hugo Chavez.
Any strategy based on "removing Chavez" is doomed to fail. Over the past nine years Venezuela has undergone a mass, peaceful and democratic revolution. Chavez represents the hopes and aspirations of millions of Venezuelans. Those millions have been demanding for many years that the media be democratised as well. For Venezuelans today, the media does not just represent the opposition – it is the opposition. Venezuela's community and alternative media is flourishing; it has expanded enormously and is an essential part of people's power.
Ironically, it was the direct participation of the media in 2002 in implementing the briefly lived coup against the Chavez government that has led to the Venezuelan people being so conscious about the role of the mass media. It is RCTV's own actions that have resulted in the non-renewal of its broadcasting concession, and it has only itself to blame.
And let's be clear: there is no forced troop seizure of the RCTV. Notice was given months ago, and court actions and appeals were lodged and have been lost by RCTV.
The concession is not being denied because the station is "critical" of the government. The overwhelming majority of the private media are opposed to the government. What is happening is a result of a process of accountability. RCTV's broadcast license was up for renewal, and the government considered that the Venezuelan public – whom the government is elected to represent – will be best served by allowing access to that broadcasting frequency to the many public, community and alternative programs already being produced and transmitted on community frequencies. This followed wide consultations – a hallmark of the Venezuelan government.
It is a tribute to the Bolivarian revolution that the new TVes will be transmitting the wealth of material that people are already producing. Viva the Bolivarian Revolution and the cultural developments that it brings!
The Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network congratulates the Bolivarian government and people's organisations for this exciting step forward, and for following legal and democratic processes to do so.
When AVSN began to compose this statement, it was simply a congratulatory note: many compañeros have worked very hard to ensure a peaceful transition to the new public and socially responsible state-owned TV station. While we still send great congratulations to those millions of Venezuelans who firmly reject the media monopoly that continues to agitate for the pro-capitalist and imperialist systems they are a part of, this is also a message of solidarity and condemnation of violence.
AVSN notes the reaction of the business managers of RCTV and their associates in Venezuela and the USA in calling for violent action to overthrow the government with the supposed aim of "restoring democracy". We particularly deplore the use of armed violence by the RCTV protest organisers who, on Sunday 27 May, shot 11 members of the Venezuelan security forces outside the RCTV–Tves building, and we applaud the restraint shown by the Venezuelan security forces in continuing to negotiate and work to defuse the confrontations.
The vast majority of Venezuelans are very proud of their peaceful, democratic revolution. They abhor incidents of violence and understand them as a tactic of the opposition and their allies in imperialist circles. Violence is a violation of the revolutionary consciousness; today's opposition has used violence and repression for decades to control the population. Posada Carilles and other notable torturers and murders acted within the old state structures to carry out their crimes against the left and the general population.
Violence is how the RCTV operators chose to act, yet under the people's power being constructed in Venezuela, people are not just "allowed" to organise a (peaceful) protest, they are positively encouraged to express themselves, have a voice and a public presence. Millions of Venezuelans have demanded that the RCTV licence not be renewed, and that the broadcast rights go to a socially responsible and democratic station.
It is the clear will of the majority of Venezuelans, based on the long list of violations of the broadcasting code by RCTV and the ongoing lies and misinformation transmitted by the broadcaster.

Well that was quite an evening. I'm on the train home from seeing CHESS at the very small Union Theatre in Southwark. Because of my working hours I very rarely get to go out in the evening, so it was really nice to do something a bit different. I bought the tickets ages ago and thought I had only bought two, but when I retrieved the paperwork yesterday, it turned out I had bought 4. I didn't think I could flog the spare two so I rang the box office to ask if it would be possible to return them on the night if they had demand for them. Yes, came the response. In the meantime my LBC colleague Anthony Davis said he'd like to come with a friend, so we met up at All Bar One in Leicester Square, with Joe Pike, another colleague from LBC, where we had a drink or two with another LBC colleague, Raj Pattni, who was holding his leaving do there. Raj is a very great man and we are all very sorry to see him go. Safe to say by the time we left at 615, he was somewhat rat arsed.
We got to the venue and were told that two of my tickets had subsequently been resold so Anthony and his guest couldn't come in. I am afraid I rather exploded. "But you said you were returning them," they said. "No," I said. I asked if it was possible to. It all got a little heated until it turned out that Anthony's guest had acted at the theatre before and started 'mwahing' the rather aggressive theatre manager who I had been rowing with. "You can sit on the director's chair," she told her.
It really is a very small theatre, with a maximum capacity of 50 punters. Very intimate. The cast are almost on top of you, blaring out tunes about two feet from your face. It was quite unnerving at times. The set was minimalist in the extreme, with not even a chessboard floor, which has always been present in the other productions I have seen. But it worked and the lack of sophistication and scenery seemed not to matter after a while.
One of the main complaints about CHESS is that its storyline is very complicated. Perhaps one of the best aspects of this production is that it tells the story in a way that anyone who's never seen it before can easily follow. Despite the cast being necessarily quite small, the characters were allowed to breathe, and even the minor characters resonated well.
For those not familiar with CHESS it tells the story of the cold war through the game of chess, and the battles between Russian and American chess champions. There's a defection, two love stories and the spying game is integral to the plot. The two songs that non-CHESS afficionados will all recognise are I KNOW HIS SO WELL and ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK.
There were several highlights. Svetlana's SOMEONE ELSE'S STORY was one and NOBODY'S SIDE another. The rendition of I KNOW HIM SO WELL provoked me to say to Joe "we can go now". I think he was a tad embarrassed as my voice is clearly louder than I think it is, and several people turned round, smiled and nodded assent.
My only quibble with the show was the quality of some of the singing. I thought Freddie Trumper and the Arbiter had rather weak, weedy voices which didn't resonate like most of the others. For me the undoubted star of the production is Nadim Naaman who lays Russian chess champion Anatoly Sergievsky. His acting and singing were a joy and in some ways he carried the whole thing at times.
The lowlight of the evening came a few minutes before the interval where a young lady in the front row threw up all over the edge of the stage area while the cast were in full song. But the show must go on, and it did!
Anyway, CHESS is playing until 16 March and has sold out every night,although there are usually a few returns if you turn up on spec. Well worth it. A great night out.

Cracking open the Paris apartment door, University of Tennessee student Melissa Vargas is immediately greeted by the resident cat. The place may be small, but it's hard to beat $12 a night in the city of lights.
Airbnbs like this one offer a more affordable and accommodating experience than hotels for young travelers.
The premise of it is fairly simple: it allows people to rent out their spare rooms to travelers, while those very same travelers are able to pay less than what a hotel room would cost. Airbnb enables people to list, find and rent vacation homes for a processing fee. It has above 1,500,000 listings in 34,000 cities and 191 countries.
People can list their home on the Airbnb site, and then travelers can book the home through the site or the Airbnb app.
"You can usually find a room to stay in for $30 a night compared to $100 for a regular hotel," Vargas said.
Priceonomics looked at the average price of a hotel room versus the average Airbnb listing price in dozens of US markets and found that, on average, travelers could save close to 50 percent by renting a private room on Airbnb over a hotel room, and close to 22 percent by renting an apartment instead of a hotel room.
This idea of home-sharing is affecting hotels, Bloomberg reports. Financial analysts at Bank of America downgraded the stocks of several hotel companies including Hilton and Hyatt, citing pressure from oversupply and competition from homeshare services.
"Airbnb is definitely changing the business," said Knoxville Marriott shift manager Trent Cardwell. "I don't think it's affecting business in Knoxville, but maybe in larger cities where hotels are more expensive. You definitely have a more personal experience at an Airbnb at a third of the price."
Vargas also praised the personal experience Airbnb offered.
"I use Airbnb when I go to larger cities," she said. "I like to ask the host for recommendations on museums and restaurants; sometimes the host will even go with me. I've always have had a positive experience using the site."
In Paris, Vargas's Airbnb host Lewis gave her a map of all his favorite restaurants. On her bed were fresh towels and a key to his apartment, much like a hotel.
Unlike a hotel, the host at one point grabbed a drink with her at a local bar and taught her some useful French phrases such as:
"Où se trouvent les toilettes/Where's the bathroom?"
"Merci beaucoup/Thank you very much. "
"Non, je ne soutiens pas Donald Trump/No, I do not support Donald Trump."
Lewis even exchanged numbers with Vargas if any problems were to arise.
Young travelers everywhere are using Airbnb over hotels. Those backpacking Europe used to stay at hostels that lodge large amounts of people to a single room, but more and more students are turning to Airbnbs for their inexpensive and accommodating features.
"It was nice knowing that someone was looking out for me while I was traveling Paris," said Vargas. "Lewis was really considerate and friendly. He spoke English really well and told me a lot of places to go that I wouldn't have found on my own."

The area at the corner of the mouth where the upper lip meets the lower lip is called the oral commissure. The oral commissures usually experience a gradual depression over time. In many individuals, the depression contributes to the formation of wrinkles and lines, as well as contributing to a more angry or stern appearance. We know at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin that oral commissure lines may extend downward from the corners of the mouth, giving an individual an unnatural puppet or marionette-type appearance. In other instances, oral commissure lines may fan out from the corner of the mouth.
Oral commissure lines are almost always treated with speciality advanced dermal fillers at the Dublin based cosmetic clinic. In instances where individuals have not developed deeper lines or folds, many cosmetic doctors will place stronghold dermal filler such as Juvedermtm 3 or Restylane Perlane under the lines. If the oral commissures have developed into deeper folds, the area may be treated with a bulking filler like Teosyal Ultra or Radiesse. These fillers help push up and buttress the folds. Dermal fillers placed in other areas of the face (the upper cheeks for instance) may also give a subtle lift to the oral commissure area, which will help alleviate some of the oral commissure lines.
In some instances, toxin injections are also used to help alleviate oral commissure lines. When toxin injected properly, provides a subtle enhancement in the appearance of oral commissure lines and lip positioning. Placement of toxin injections for oral commissure correction varies from patient to patient, depending upon a patient's particular facial characteristics. Toxin Injections may be placed in the depressor anguli oris muscle (which extends from the chin to around the corners of the mouth) to help lift the corners of the mouth. This alleviates some of the oral commissure depression. Toxins may in some instances be placed in the origin of the mentalis (chin) muscle for those who express themselves with excessive chin movement. This may help relax some of the lines around the mouth and chin.
Like many other aesthetic procedures with liquid face lift products, it is important that a the doctor performing the procedure has extensive experience with toxins and advanced dermal filler use. For example, if toxins are placed in the depressor labii instead of the depressor anguli oris muscle, the patient may experience a temporary facial expression deformity or not be able to close the mouth properly. With Dr Hazem Kahlout's who has extensive experience in the field of cosmetic procedures, the probability of this happening is remote.
Price Guide
Price Guide
Severity of the marionette lines will dictate the cost of correction. The total cost varies depending on the method chosen. Following a consultation with Dr Házem Kahlout, he will advise you about the methods of treatment suitable for your condition and the pro's and drwabacks of every treatment modality.
Toxin injection €250

The weekend and many evenings find the sidewalks of Sunset Junction in Silver Lake busy with shoppers, diners and people who just want to soak up the scene. But any entrepreneur who is thinking about joining the pack of shop and cafe owners along Sunset Boulevard better have deep pockets and a sharp business plan in place.
Case in point is Le Pink & Co., the Sunset Boulevard purveyor of cosmetics, candles as well as classic candy. This modern-day apothecary painted in pink is now up for sale at an "undisclosed price," according to LoopNet. What is disclosed, however, is the rent: $2,500 a month for the 800 square-foot shop. The location, according to the listing, can't be beat:
Being in one of the few "walking neighborhoods" on the East Side, retail locations in Sunset Junction are highly coveted and not often available. Its worth it to be here for the foot traffic you will get on weekends alone. Constantly listed in newspapers, magazines and websites as one of the most desirable areas to live in, any business you start in Sunset Junction will have an instant upper hand and benefit from the continual press and interest in this neighborhood."
The current lease expires in July 2014, with the landlord agreeing to extend the agreement for three years. But expect to pay $2,900 a month during the last of those two years.

Release Date: 12/01/11
Recommended by Charlaine Harris, author of the series that inspired HBO's hit series TRUE BLOOD, this new #1 Bestselling series will take readers by storm! In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves. Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac herself and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card? From the luxury of the Lord Master's penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac's journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and to make a choice that will either save the world ...or destroy it.
Having felt like the previous title, Dreamfever was a bit of a filler, I was really hoping for something special as a climax to this series and boy was I in for a ride. As with the other titles in the series, this book continues to work on a lot of levels with the freshness of mixing Celtic mythology with a modern world. Its inventive has some great characters and above all else it's a tale that is story driven as the readers yearn to find out the result of the investigation into the principle characters sisters death. (Which is revealed within.)
That said however this title is huge and with some extra padding (I assume to help give the fans the maximum of reading pleasure) it's a story that felt that some of the elements could have been dialled down more to give the principle aim a bigger impact for the reader. It is wonderfully descriptive, the prose ideal and when you add Makayla's dialogue to the mix, it's a series that you can forgive a lot for. All in a wonderful sense of Urban Fantasy and definitely something that gives it a bit of new wave to the reader. Cracking.

As I watch my first ever SCP go down the drown ,I don't cry or get mad. I think of better SCPs that are not rip offs of children horror stories.
And so I bring you my second idea.
A 1950s icecream truck. Its ordinary still functional and even the freezers still work. From 12am to 3am the song "The Entertainer" will play randomly. Anyone in the vicinity that can hear the song will heads torwards it. The back doors would be open and as they approach it they would close. The following morning the coolers would be stuck full of ice cream of some flavor. The packages of the ice cream state that it has a special flavor. Analysis of the ice cream you would find parts of the person that was in the truck last night.

You're busy taking photos of the kids and you happen to capture one of them falling.....and you don't realize until you are viewing your photos and see in the snapshots him falling....look up and yep...there he is on his back looking confused
You know you're a good parent when........
You JUST NOW realize that your soon to be 5 yr old has 2 different color eyes...
It's a good feeling being a parent when.........
you're sitting on the floor and your child comes and sits on your leg and then yells at you to get off them
your child screams she wants apple juice and you get her some and she cries because she was hungry
when you give your kids vitamins and you have a red and blue and let them choose the color. One picks red and eats it. The other kid picks blue and eats it....Then red child cries because they changed their mind after they swallowed and wanted blue too.
your child is about to fall so you help hold them and then they get mad b/c you helped them not fall
your daughter wakes and comes downstairs and you say "Morning Princess" and she screams
Nothing grosses you out anymore...
your child does #2 on the potty and you are helping them wipe. You then realize the toilet paper wasn't really on your hand and instead your hand did the wiping
you wipe your kids boogey with your fingers....and then go to wipe it off..and it won't wipe...and you keep trying to get it off and it keeps rolling....and you wipe harder again and it gets wedged under your finger nail. by this point the whole booger could have just stayed in his nose...for pete's sake

IT'S a good thing Isaac Newton didn't have a lawyer. He might have tried to patent his law of gravity.
That sounds silly. But is it any sillier than the persistent effort of the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) to patent parts of the human genome? That's the genetic information within cells that specifies the body's development, form, and function.
Research biologists who want to keep the flow of basic research information open and unrestricted say "no, they're equally silly." But NIH officials claim a crucial distinction between a basic natural law and the equally basic natural human genetic code. The former is a cosmic heritage that no one can "own." The latter contains commercially valuable information that can be obtained only through proprietary research.
In short, there's a lot of money to be made by those who can develop products - especially medicines - based on the properties of specific human genes. NIH says it is filing for patents to protect the interests of American industry and encourage development of such products.
The trouble is NIH isn't trying to patent specific genes it has identified and whose functions it has defined. It is trying to patent so-called genetic markers that delineate specific portions of the genome whose function and potential usefulness is unknown. It's like a sketchy map with landmarks such as a distinctive hill or cliff that tells you how to find specific areas within territory that has yet to be fully explored.
In biochemical terms, these genetic markers are fragments of DNA molecules. Genetic information is encoded in the DNA structure. It can take a sequence of thousands of DNA subunits to encode a single gene. However, the marker that specifies where that gene is located along the DNA molecule typically contains a sequence of only about 400 of these molecular building blocks.
Critics charge that NIH is trying to lay claim to unexplored genome territory. Britain's Medical Research Council has responded by filing patent applications of its own. It fed scientists' concerns about censorship by keeping its genetic marker sequences secret until the applications were filed.
Wrangling over this issue has soured the climate for the international effort to decode the genome. Nobel laureate James D. Watson resigned as director of the NIH National Center for Human Genome Research over the issue. France has called for a treaty outlawing the patenting of the genetic markers and the larger unexplored genetic sequences they identify.
Ross Sibson, who heads one of the Medical Research Council projects, spoke for many fellow scientists when he said it's hard to see "how you can exercise legal right over something about which you essentially know nothing." The US Patent and Trademark Office supported this view when it sent back the NIH patent applications last month. NIH now is revising its claims to meet Patent Office requirements. If it persists, the whole issue is likely to wind up in court.
Meanwhile, research identifying genetic markers zips along in Britain, France, and Japan. If everyone patents what they know, industrial scientists trying to use basic genetic information to develop products will be caught in a thicket of fragmented proprietary rights.
This isn't an issue for the Patent Office or the courts to decide. Congress should amend US law to keep genetic information in the public domain. And countries pursuing this research should negotiate a treaty to outlaw the patenting of genetic sequences of unknown utility.
Where would astronauts be if they had to get permission to use the law of gravity?

Three new car launches soon; Mercedes Benz B Class, BMW 3 series and Elantra
Its July now and it's raining cars in India. There are three car launches scheduled in the near future and these include Mercedes Benz B Class, BMW 3 series and Hyundai Elantra. Where the first one is a sports tourer in the garb of hatchback, the next two are sedans. The BMW 3 series is a sports sedan that has most premium features while the Hyundai Elantra will be targeting the next to entry level sedan segment. These three cars will also bring change to their respective segment following their price as well as features.

Hoped to be launched tomorrow the B Class hatchback will be priced under Rs 20 lakh and this will be the most affordable car by Mercedes. Expected to be launched in petrol and diesel models, the car will have a lot of Sports Tourer features such as Active Park Assist, Hill Hold an Hill descent control besides adaptive head lamp Assist system and other features. It is expected that Mercedes will be selling the B Class as a Sports Tourer rather than hatchback as the SUV market in India is already on the high and putting in a car at Rs 20 lakh will be a must buy for those who wish to buy Audi Q3 or BMW X1.

The 2012 BMW 3-series tagged as F30 is expected to be launched on July 21 and it will also be the low priced car by the German car maker. It will be competing with Mercedes Benz C Class, Audi A4 and Nissan Teana besides the Volvo S60 premium sedans. The super luxury sedan will have more than expected safety and comfort features that are in fact the prerequisites of this segment.

The Hyundai Elantra on the other hand will be priced around Rs 12 lakh and the Korean car maker has opened the bookings for this car. Notably, this is the second time entry of the car and this time it will take on Honda Civic, Volkswagen Vento, recently refreshed Chevrolet Cruze and Toyota Corolla Altis.
The launch of these three cars is expected to change the face of each of the segment to which they belong. Where the B Class will bring revolution in the premium segment compact SUV category, the new 3 Series will be gaining momentum as this will be the refreshed version of the car. Meanwhile, the Elantra will be a best buy for those who wish to have a car in the Rs 12 lakh to Rs 14 lakh price bracket and want a Hyundai car specially. However, the Elantra will be competing with some of the big player such as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla Altis as well as Vento in this segment which are doing great work and fetching good numbers.

Six Murderous TalesBook - 2017
It's not always a question of "whodunit?" Sometimes there's more mystery in the why or how. And although we usually know the unhealthy fates of both victim and perpetrator, what of those clever few who plan and carry out the perfect crime? The ones who aren't brought down even though they're found out? And what about those who do the finding out who witness a murder or who identify the murderer but keep the information to themselves? These are some of the mysteries that we follow through those six stories as we are drawn into the thinking, the memories, the emotional machinations, the rationalizations, the dreams and desires behind murderous cause and effect.

I'm not a fan of short stories, but these short stories by famed mystery writer, PD James, makes me think I've been wrong. These are great mysteries most with a twist at the end.
This collection of six short storeis are not up to James' usual high standard. The most interesting is The Yo Yo, a story that contains the book's theme: not all murderers are caught and punished.
The six stories that make up this little book are just so well put together. Each is engaging from beginning to end with twists that you may or may not see coming. I raced through them and then went back and read them again. So enjoyable and satisfying.
I loved PD James books so when I saw this new collection of short stories, I was pretty excited. It did not disappoint. This was a clever, fun, and quick read. Perfect for a dark, stormy winter night!
These short stories should be read slowly, attentively and perhaps twice over for they hide more complex machinations than meet the eye! A little treasure chest for British crime fiction lovers .
Good things come in small packages. SLEEP NO MORE with the apt subtitle, "Six Murderous Tales", is a short story collection in the intelligent, British "whodunit" tradition. It's also a marvelous testament to the talent and genius of author PD James, "The Queen of Crime". Her astute, often cynical, observations of human behavior and what drives ordinary people to kill make for a very entertaining read. Each story is so atmospheric, full of beautiful prose (it'll expand your vocabulary) and contains at least one expected or surprising twist. SLEEP NO MORE with its heady mix of the sinister and the humorous is a quick read perfect for a cold winter's evening in front of a roaring fire.
the most highly educated mystery writer ever. she is so erudite her voice does not grip me.

Body found in Providence is that of missing Brown University student
The Rhode Island medical examiner's office says a body found in Providence is that of a Brown University student missing since last month.
Health Department spokeswoman Dara Chadwick says the body of 22-year-old Sunil Tripathi was identified Thursday morning through a forensic dental exam. The cause of death has not been determined.
Tripathi's body was found Tuesday by members of the Brown crew team in waters off India Point Park. Relatives of Tripathi, who's from Bryn Mawr, Pa., had been searching for him with help from the FBI and Brown students since mid-March.
Chadwick says Tripathi's family has been notified. A message was left for his sister.
Tripathi's family, of Bryn Mawr, Pa., said it was overcome with grief but grateful for the outpouring of support relatives got over the last month.
"As we carry indescribable grief, we also feel incredible gratitude," the Tripathi family said in a statement on a Facebook page set up to help find Tripathi, who went by Sunny. "To each one of you -- from our hometown to many distant lands -- we extend our thanks for the words of encouragement, for your thoughts, for your hands, for your prayers, and for the love you have so generously shared."
Tripathi, 22, originally from Bryn Mawr, Pa., and known as "Sunny," is on leave from the Ivy League school but was living in an apartment in Providence with classmates, his sister Sangeeta told the Associated Press. During his leave, he was volunteering at local libraries and at a chess club.
She said her brother had been acting normally in the days and weeks leading up to March 15, although he was going through a "tough time."
After the Boston Marathon bombings last week, Tripathi's family was rocked by rumors spread on social media websites such as Twitter and Reddit that he could have been one of the suspects, Reuters reports.
"Someone will tweet, then retweet, and completely unsubstantiated things can proliferate so rapidly and destructively,'' Sangeeta Tripathi told Reuters. "Those night hours were horrible."
Reddit has since apologized for the rumor, and on Friday, Reddit users launched a new crowd-sourced campaign to help locate Tripathi.
On the last day he was seen, a Friday, he had tea with a friend, spoke on the phone with his grandmother and had a lengthy text message conversation with his aunt in Boston, which was not unusual, Sangeeta Tripathi said. Around midnight, he traded text messages with his mother.
"All of those people felt nothing remarkably different was happening," his sister said.
On Saturday afternoon, she texted him and didn't hear back.
She says he left his wallet, credit cards and cell phone in his apartment as well as a note that was not addressed to anyone in particular. She would not discuss what it said.
"It was a very short note that was very vague and not conclusive," she said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report

The debate has been around for what seems like forever, and we've witnessed passionate arguments from both sides. Here at HANK & HOOK, we specialize in natural fiber yarns because we're convinced there's an amazing natural fiber for anything you wish to make. We decided to do a little research on the benefits and shortcomings of both so you can decide what fits into your own lifestyle. Without further delay…
Natural fibers have been instrumental to mankind since antiquity and were the primary materials used in clothing and homeware until the invention of synthetics. Farmers harvest a whopping 35 million tonnes of natural fibres every year from both plants and animals, which includes sheep, rabbits, goats, alpacas, hemp, flax, cotton, and much more. The United Nations even proclaimed the year 2009 as the "international year of natural fibers".
Its benefits include breathability, temperature regulation, water absorption, high UV protection and anti-microbial properties. Natural fibers are also biodegradable and can be composted to release nutrients back into the soil (cue The Circle of Life). On the other hand, some people may be sensitive to sheep's wool due to its lanolin content. Its production also requires a substantial amount of water, and many animal fibers require high maintenance and care as they cannot be machine-washed.
Linus' blanket: 100% acrylic.
Despite the long history and relationship between human beings and natural fibers, synthetics have quickly permeated through the textile industry since their introduction in the late 1880's. Synthetics such as acrylic and rayon were developed to mimic the appearance and durability of natural fibers, but at a lower price as a result of cheaper materials and mass production.
Today, synthetic fibers continue to make their way into our yarn stashes because they can resist wear and tear very well, and are seen as a solid alternative to natural fibers for those with wool sensitivities.
On the plus side, the manufacturing of synthetics such as polyester and nylon requires little use of water, and projects made with most synthetics can be thrown into a washing machine (read: none of that high maintenance attitude that you get from natural fibers).
Level of maintenance: higher than your ex
The downside of synthetics, however, is compelling: the use of non-renewable resources means the fibers are not biodegradable and therefore pollute the environment. Not to mention, the abundant use of chemicals in its production can cause scratchiness and rashes on some people (the last thing you want is people giving you !@#$ for that scratchy Christmas sweater). Fabrics created with synthetics also have lower thermal conductivity and absorption than animal fibers, which means for those living in the northern hemisphere… #sorrynotsorry.
Science has come a long way, and in some aspects has caught up to what nature's been offering to the textile industry since long before the pyramids have been around. Despite technological advances, however, scientists have been unable to exceed the qualities of natural fibers without consequences (i.e damaging the environment). At the end of the day, synthetics were created to mimic the properties of natural fibers, so… we'll leave it at that.
P.S. We'll soon be releasing our full report detailing the differences between natural and synthetic fibers, so don't forget to come check that out!
