I'm a homebody. I think many of my friends, family and co-workers don't understand what that means. The definition is as simple it sounds "a person who prefers staying at home." When I was in college I did attend quite a few parties and football games; I even helped start a tailgating tradition that is still going to this day. College were my gregarious years, all that is different now. I am, undoubtedly, an introvert and for introverts, gregariousness is optional. I don't mind small social gatherings, as long as they are short. In large social gatherings I eventually feel uncomfortable, even among my peers. I hate cliché small talk. Why [… Click to Continue …]
Welcome to Geek Pride Day 2018! This is a day of jubilation starting back to 2008 in which we celebrate geek culture. Let's be honest with ourselves, we are all geeks about something. Anything that you enjoy doing or something you are passionate about earns you the geek moniker. Many of us probably started earlier, like high school (or even prior to that). Back then the geek label often indicated how much smarter you are than your classmates. It also marks you as someone who may lack certain social skills, primarily because our interests were esoteric and unorthodox (comparatively speaking). Be that as it may, [… Click to Continue …]
My favorite type of sitcoms are, what I call, highbrow comedies. Fraiser was the first, and will always be, my favorite highbrow comedy. I enjoyed it because the dichotomy that people with an extensive vocabulary are not necessarily haughty or persnickety. Despite their affluence they still found themselves in the same awkward predicaments as Ross, Rachael, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe. When Fraiser ended in 2004, after 11 seasons, I thought it was the end of highbrow comedy, until I found The Big Bang Theory. I was surprised to learn there are other individuals like myself (i.e. geeks) who felt the show made a mockery of geeks. I disagree, [… Click to Continue …]
Remember us; from 20 years ago? I know you do. We were the daily mugging. It was never about the lunch money or the dress shirts. We were bullied because we were smarter than you, because we could thrive without trying, because you felt threatened by us. We warned you to be kind to us because you should feel threatened. We had many mantras. "Be nice to geeks, you'll probably end up working for one" "Geeks, will one day, inherit the Earth." "Geeks rule the World" Well now the geeks have inherited the Earth, and we remember! Our minds are steel traps. We haven't forgotten who bullied [… Click to Continue …]
How many geeks do you know and what hobbies do you assume they have? If you are a geek, you're not allowed to answer that question. I'm sure when one thinks of the geeks they know they probably assume computers, video games and/or books are their hobbies. You're probably right, those are likely among their hobbies but most of us are probably ADD or ADHD and often have far more eclectic tastes outside our [presumed] nerdy sphere. You might actually be surprised to learn that we do have hobbies outside the typical nerdy genres and a lot of them might actually be outdoors (despite our fears [… Click to Continue …]
"Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It's basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather that behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating." – Simon Pegg

By Harvinder Sandhu
Desi Today talked to some youth who are already smoking pot about their reasons for taking it. Like it or not they said if their parents had informed them about the risks associated with it, they would not have done it.
It's 2018 and time for the implementation of a controversial Liberal policy, the legalization of marijuana.
Many parents and some scientists are worried of the effects of what marijuana legalization is going to have on teens and pre-teens. Like it or not, parents need to know that many kids try pot at some point in their teen life. Studies have shown that higher percentage of Canadian teens, aged between 11 – 15, have used marijuana at least once compared to teens in the Netherlands and the states where then, pot was already legal in 2 states, Colorado and Washington, it's also legal in California and Nevada as well now (from a 2013 United Nations Children's Fund).
So how do we, parents of pre-teens and teens prepare ourselves come this summer when pot is legalized? Firstly, we need to educate ourselves about marijuana and its effects on the pre-teen and teen brain. Parents of teens know first hand already how difficult it is to win a fight with their teen.
The fight usually ends with, "I'm the father/mother so do as I say". This statement does not give the parent the victory, instead it makes the kid rebel quietly. Teens will do what they want, but now they will hide from their parents. This is not good either as that can leave our kids vulnerable to other dangers as well if we don't know what they are up to.
Advice to parents of teens, get educated first before having a conversation about marijuana with your pre-teen/teens. One thing parents need to know is that whatever behaviour or action they forbid, that itself becomes so much more appealing to their kids. Try to remember yourself at that age, did you just listen to your parents and stop doing whatever it was that you were forbidden to do?
Chances are no, or that you couldn't at the time, but the second you had a chance, you did what you wanted regardless of parental warning. Also by educating yourself first, you now can have an educated discussion about pot and its effects with your teen. Nothing like getting all angry and bossy to drive your teen away from a discussion that may help them make the right decision regarding their life and future.
Speaking to several South Asian young adults about smoking pot, these are their thoughts on why they smoke it. First I was educated on what the new terminology of smoking pot is; teens call it smoking a reefer, and they just call it weed.
Jas D on using marijuana
Jas D: "My father drank a lot. He would get into a fight with anyone around him when he starts drinking. I didn't want to be like that. Also, pot is safer, doesn't make you go crazy like alcohol. We just chill back, listen to music and eat…(laughs).
DT: When did you start smoking marijuana?
Jas D.: "in grade 10… my friends were doing it."
DT: Did your parents find out about your pot use right away?
Jas D.: Laughs… No ..,they didn't know what I was doing at all …
DT: Do they know now?
Jas H.: No. My mom is happy that I don't drink. She doesn't know about this. My dad… well I can't really talk to him about it. He doesn't drink anymore and I'm happy for him, but I can't really talk about this with them. Plus, they won't understand this is safer.
DT: Yu twice said smoking pot is safer. How do you know it is safer?
Jas D: "Well … it's not like meth or other hard drugs and it becoming legal so has to be safe".
DT :Did you know it can effect young growing brains negatively?
Jas D: err … have not heard that … like 10 years old and stuff?
DT: Preteen and teens up to 25 years the brain is still growing. Will yo be interested in the research if you were given the info?
Jas D : I guess yeah … if my prents talked to me about the research … maybe yeah … good to know right … I mean I'll probably still smoke but maybe less.
G S. on his reasons
DT: When did you start smoking pot?
G S. : "Last 4/20 a few months before I turned 19."
DT: You went to the event downtown Vancouver?
G S: "No we just smoked here in Surrey. Couple of my friends smoke and have been smoking it for awhile … like since grade 10.
DT: do their parents and your parents know that you smoke?
G S: No … my parents don't know … I think their parents have caught them because they really hide it from them. My older siblings have talked to me about it when I was much younger but not now.
DT: Why do you think it helps you focus?
G S : I was diagnosed with ADHD when in grade 1 – I never took meds as my parents thought I was too young. So when I smoke I find it helps me to concentrate more, I can put stuff better together in my head, express myself better… it helps me study.
DT : Do you know what research says on what marijuana does to young growing brains? Will you be interested to know about it?
GS : I haven't looked into anything like that … what does it do?
DT : Research says the younger the person starts to smoke the worse it can be for their brains as it growing till about 25 years of age.
JS : I'm an adult already, grown up…laughs
DT : Have your parents talked again to you now re marijuana ?
GS : No .. I think if they catch me doing then will talk to me.. . that's happened to my friends. They got caught and got lectured and told to stop … that's it. That's probably what will happen with me … that's brown parents thing … scold and they think their kid will stop …. Laughs … we just make sure we don't get caught again … doesn't stop us.. .
DT: If you knew the study on how it can affect your mind negatively will this help you make better choice in the future?
GS: "Probably… if my parents got themselves educated on the subject and then talked to me I'll probably listen to them but I don't think it's a brown parent thing to talk about stuff like that … they usually let it slide until they catch you doing something.
In essence the teens basically shared they have not had any meaningful conversation on the topic with their parents. As these teens noted, majority of teens' understanding of this drug comes from their friends, and as such it can be incomplete.
If we want our teens and pre-teens to avoid marijuana, parents need to take control of the narrative by first getting educated on marijuana and its effects, and then have that crucial conversation with their children. When the "talk" comes from an educated angle, teens might be inclined to listen especially if the conversation was respectful and informative, but not if it's all a lecture of "don't do it" just because parents say so.
Parents need to be pro-active and the sooner they face this issue head-on the sooner they will be able to get ahead of ma potential problem and just maybe help their teens avoid marijuana use till they are much older, if ever.

Born in Areia Branca (Natal), in the Northeast of Brazil, Tico da Costa grew up listening to all the rhythms of the "nordeste" as well as those from Rio de Janeiro, eventually combining them all into his own inimitable style. An extremely prolific singer/song writer (he writes two to three songs a day), he is also a guitar virtuoso, a composer of instrumental music and a born-showman that can magnetize any audience whether as a solo performer - voice and guitar, or accompanied by his band.
Mr. da Costa is a knockabout folk troubadour and message-spreader... his light, easy tenor adorned polyrhythmic guitar lines that could always go fast enough to suit his needs, sometimes striking the band into a precarious double time. He had the crowd chanting a percussive chorus... ...this was where Mr. Da Costa showed himself to be a superb artisan: skillfully recreating a few minutes of a beatific locomotion that in its proper context could have stretched into hours. - Ben Ratliff, NEW YORK TIMES
The exact date of this concert is not known, but it occurred in the marked year around this time.

Meet the Croation Socksation... Velike Ludorije
That's ME, by the way! It's my Croation code name on Facebook. Can you believe the Facebook Police wouldn't let me join as Big Monkey? That's OK because I am one step ahead of them... ha ha! I've already got several friends, and I'm looking for more! Drop me a line, poke me, send me presents, etc. Some of my entourage might be signing up in the future. I wonder if they'll let Officer Po Po join? If not, we'll call him Službenik po po. More to come on my Croation heritage... I'm digging out my organ meat cook book to share some of my favorite recipes from the old country with you.

This legend looks within the
Might possibly possibly furthermore simply 2018 topic of
Nationwide Geographic journal.
I bear watched the #metoo campaign as avidly as anyone. I bear long previous to bed every night wondering who will possible be outed as a sexual harasser within the morning, whether or no longer this could be some other one in every of my political heroes or someone all of us explore from mainstream media or Hollywood. Wea��ve considered many of these perpetrators lose jobs, be pressured to resign, and face financial reveal on myth of of their abhorrent behaviors.
But I bear no longer long previous to bed a single night in all these months wondering what scientist would be sacked within the morning on myth of of his transgressionsa��let by myself be publicly outeda��on myth of scientist-harassers no longer veritably lose their jobs.
I bear no longer long previous to bed a single night in all these months wondering what scientist used to be going to lose his joba��on myth of scientist-harassers dona��t lose their jobs.
Enable me to repeat. For the previous six years Ia��ve performed research on sexual harassment within the sciences and labored to purchase awareness of it. Ia��ve surveyed more than a thousand of us, performed dozens of interviews, and collaborated at some level of more than one disciplines. Ia��ve given lectures and delivered congressional testimony on the topic. Right herea��s what the research shows:
- In our samples both sexual harassment and sexual assault had been reported by more ladies folks than mena��mirroring the topic in society at orderly.
- Femalesa��s experiences of sexual misconduct at some stage in scientific fieldwork weren't correct quantitatively elevated nonetheless also qualitatively worse than mena��s. Females victims had been more on the final centered by perpetrators above them within the hierarchy and felt they would possibly possibly no longer fight abet or remark no. Few people had any awareness of a sexual harassment protection or reporting mechanism; even fewer dared document their experiences.
- Scientists who are confused face most important career penalties, ranging from having to scheme lateral career strikes to no longer feeling obedient ample to aid legitimate eventsa��and even discontinue within the arena.
Too on the final the legend is the identical: A particular person sexually harasses a girl, the girl reports it, and she or he will get suggested thata��s correct how it's miles. There are adaptations on this theme: ladies folks harassing ladies folks, of us harassing these they dona��t factor in conform to their gender effectively ample, ladies folks of coloration receiving a toxic blend of racial and gender harassment. Need a story of girls folks being mocked after they desire to urinate and being body shamed within the occasion that they utilize dinner? Ia��ve got one in every of these. How a pair of man who has a mistress that college students at his arena residence bear to abet secret from his accomplice and childhood at dwelling? Ia��ve got a pair of of these. With regards to at least every one of coloration and white woman I spoke to for an astronomy and planetary science mission had tales of being suggested by their colleagues that they had been the affirmative motion hire, the implication being that their science used to be no exact.
In the previous few years gallant scientists bear come ahead to portion their experiences: Loads of high-profile teachers had been accused of sexually harassing college students or colleagues, had been investigated, and then had been positioned on inch away or pressured to step down. We know the names now: Geoff Marcy, Brian Richmond, David Marchant, Christian Ott, among others. These men had been allowed to flourish whereas their victims struggled. Even after their abuses had been reported, after their tales had been made public, it took an interminably very long time for them to face any repercussions. And per chance more importantly, it used to be rare for the victims to receive the choice they deserved.
In the sciences an correct reckoning about sexual harassment faces a preference of roadblocks. The first is the story that these perpetrators, largely men, bear outstanding abilities to provide science. Next is the premise that repercussions for the perpetrator may well possibly trickle down to his trainees, so we must restful abet some distance off from any penalties at all (I hear this one in recount when the perpetrator has rather a pair of federal funding). Lastly, the trend most universities give an explanation for the approved definition of sexual harassment makes it onerous for victimsa�� claims to prevaila��so at the tip of an great investigation, many restful bear to endure a hostile place of work environment.
Leta��s grab these on one after the opposite.
Are these that have interaction in sexual misconduct truly making scientific advances that won't be made with out them? Ia��d remark ita��s more possible that swifter, elevated advances would bear came about if there had been fewer perpetrators limiting alternatives for his or her victims. When portion of your brain has to be by place of work stressa��from undesirable sexual advances to witnessing abuse between colleaguesa��you've got much less to provide to your science.
If we punish these perpetrators, especially by striking off their funding, wona��t their trainees suffer? I wonder what number of grad college students would be higher off, relieved of the pressures of working for a predator. As federal funding agencies grapple with this topic, they bear begun to resolve out alternate choices, such as assigning a brand novel most important investigator if the distinctive one cana��t continue. It doesna��t waste the mission or inch away college students and employees out of their jobs. Casting off the perpetrator from a mission also saves the pedigree of the trainees; few desire their published work obnoxious with the name of a identified sexual harasser.
The finest wretchedness is the trickiest: Why dona��t we end anything when we know relating to the perpetrators in our midst? To this level, penalties for scientist-harassers are few and much between. In academia ita��s frequent to receive sanctions like a�?no more feminine grad college studentsa�? or a�?no more undergraduate educatinga�? or a�?please fabricate a living from dwelling for now.a�? These are comfy punishments at simplest, nonetheless departments are doubtful what various alternate choices they beara��and universities dona��t scheme it straightforward to fireplace professors. The institutions know that perpetrators veritably bear more resources than victims and in most cases have a tendency to sue within the occasion that they're fired. It's some distance a exact financial decision, then, to end nothing a pair of perpetrator, even within the occasion that they're responsible.
So that is the assign we receive ourselves this day: In lots of professions sexual misconduct is now cause for dismissal. In the sciences, no longer so significant. Whata��s more, many science workplaces use approved definitions of sexual harassment to location the common for place of work habits. If that is the bar that has to be met for a disgusting habits to be thought to be actionable by a college, research institute, or arena dwelling, it's miles a high one. An big differ of disrespectful and even horrifying habits can plug below that bar, even even supposing it damages the careers of victims and bystanders, retaining abet scientific pattern.
We may well possibly establish for striking off finest the most egregious, the Harvey Weinsteins of our career. Or lets grab this replacement to location proper exchange in motion.
Right herea��s the particular assign a query to for scientists this day: Whata��s the culture we desire to make? We may well possibly establish for striking off finest the most egregious, the Harvey Weinsteins of our career. Or lets grab this replacement to account for topic behaviors more clearly. Leta��s scheme it unacceptable to behave with bias toward gender, racial, and sexual minorities. Leta��s scheme it OK to name out these that use their defective to overpower and exploit, rather then to abet and mentor.
My research suggests how we can location this exchange in motion. When the leaders of science workplaces sit down with their employees and trainees to make a code of habits, and then assign in force it with proper penalties, the tip end result is much less harassmenta��and higher decision for victims when harassment does occur.
If we truly desire a meritocratic location the assign the most engrossing, insightful, and life-changing science will get completed, we must form a culture that makes room for more types of of us. To address the advanced challenges of the Twenty first century, wea��ll need every scientista��s simplest work. That will occur within the simplest workplaces.

Driffield M1s 11 Vs North Shields M1s 3
On Saturday Driffield hosted mid table rivals North Shields at the Leisure Centre who could only manage to field 10 men on the day. Captain Gate made a point of not announcing this to the team in order that no complacency crept in as it did last season when the Woldsmen only managed a draw against a nine man Durham University team.
This year however Driffield proved just how far they have developed as a team as they did not allow North Shields any mercy and an electric first 10 minutes found the Woldsmen 3-0 up and a hatrick in the bag for in form striker Levitt. This really set the tone for the rest of the game as Driffield used their luxury of subs on the bench to roll players on and off and dominated possession, playing fast flowing hockey.
This was all too much for the 10 North Shields players who could do nothing to stop the Driffield players from putting the ball into the back of the net with a further 2 goals from Levitt, 2 goals from Shephard (Including one from a very special reverse stick strike), 2 debut goals for Martindale who was clearly elated to finally get on the score sheet, and a goal apiece for veterans Cherry and Dewhirst from a blistering turn and strike from the top of the D.
North Shields did manage to bag themselves 3 goals during the game and these were from times Driffield did fall victim to some complacency. These were moments when the Woldsmen lost a bit of patience and tried to force the ball through the North Shields defensive lines rather than passing it round them and exposing channels and they were also guilty at times of not marking players as hard as they should. But this just goes to act as a reminder that if you drift off the boil for periods at this level you get punished, even if you are running away with the game.
But all in all this was a masterful team performance from an in form Driffield team that have been struggling to translate form into points and indeed they could have put a good deal more goals past the Geordies. One such occasion was when the ball was shelled through to Levitt in the opposition D who very nearly lobbed the approaching keeper with a fantastic touch of the ball which just cleared the cross bar. Another outstanding moment was when Needham received the ball with momentum in the middle of the pitch and ghosted past 3 North Shields defenders before smashing the a reverse stick shot over the bar.
Next week Driffield will host Sheffield University Bankers 2at the Leisure centre and will be very keen to go into the Christmas break with another 3 points to their name.

From theAdriatic to Castel del Monte
Start your journey in Barletta (Barletta-Andria-Trani Province), where Nero di Troia vines dominate the surrounding vineyards. A few kilometres further south on the sandy coastal lands of Trani there is the sweet and elegant Moscato Reale variety.
In the early 1900s it was quite common in the north of Italy to see signs with "Trani" and "Barletta" to indicate places selling the wines from these two cities. This was so widespread that Giorgio Gaber – a famous singer – wrote his song "Trani a gogò" in the 1960s, describing the modest taverns of Milan selling wine from the cask.
Barletta is a city to discover: its Norman-Swabian-Angevin castle, its long Levante and Ponente coast line, the commercial port, the massive statue of "Eraclio" (Byzantine Emperor Heraclius), and a wealth of churches and noble houses of great artistic interest, including the Palazzo della Marra. Then there are historical events like the tournament commemorated at the Cantina della Disfida, and the Canne della Battaglia archaeological site, where Hannibal and his army fought the Romans.
Trani has a picture postcard port area, dominated by the sovereign of Puglia's churches – the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Pilgrim – the austere and luminous rose-white tones of the local marble suggest the splendour of the Mediaeval city of Trani.
Now head inland towards Corato (Bari Province), through vineyards and olive groves of the most popular local cultivar – "Coratina" also called "racioppa di Corato". This is the area of origin of the Canestrato Pugliese Dop, another local dairy product and a left-over from the days when shepherds migrated with their flocks and herds. You are now in the land of Castel del Monte Doc wine. The Castle itself in the distance seems to watch over the indigenous and non-native vines which flourish in the ideal soils and climatic conditions of the area, giving wines with a strong and identifiable character.
The trip finishes in Ruvo di Puglia, one of the most fascinating and cultural towns in the province. The local oak woodlands are very interesting, and then there is the Museo Nazionale Jatta, a museum where visitors can see some absolute masterpieces of terracotta ware and pottery from the Magna Graecia era. The best known artifact is the 5th century B.C. Talos, an Attic vase depicting the death of the giant Talos at the hands of the Argonauts.

Deseret News
South S.L. urged not to obtain loan
Only $2M would be available for Market Station, study says
By Rebecca Palmer
Deseret News
Published: Monday, Oct. 19, 2009 9:44 p.m. MDT
SOUTH SALT LAKE — A third-party study commissioned by the City Council recommends against borrowing almost $10 million on behalf of the developers of Market Station.
If the city were to push forward with bonding, only about $2 million would be available, according to the study by David Wilcox Market & Feasibility Advisors. If borrowed, the money would be used to purchase land underlying the proposed development.
"Do not issue a bond or take a loan," the 19-page report reads. "The consultant does not believe adequate amortization funds are actually available to the city or agency."
The draft report has not been released to the public but it was openly considered Oct. 14 by the South Salt Lake City Council. Since that time, the Deseret News has received a copy of the findings.
The analysis points out that South Salt Lake has already invested heavily in the project. In addition to creating a tax-increment funding zone, elected officials have pledged to spend $2.5 million for the Sugarhouse Trolley Line planned to run through Market Station's center.
The initial funding for Market Station dried up when the credit market crashed about a year ago, according to developer Steve Aste. Since then, the aging buildings and worn parking lots in the project area have been untouched.
The project is slated for 9.5 acres near Main Street and 2100 South. It has been touted as a high-rise condominium development with office and retail space that will transform the city into a hotspot. Those plans have been scaled down by about 30 percent, according to the Wilcox study.
The analysis recommends that South Salt Lake seek buyers for individual parcels that make up the project area and that it get back alleyways granted to the developer at no cost. It also proposes providing incentives for new buyers rather than spending money to purchase property, as city-owned land is not on municipal tax rolls.
Mayor Bob Gray and Council Chairman Roy Turner could not be reached Monday for comments on the report.
Meanwhile, Aste has called many of the figures in the study inaccurate. He intends to submit a line-by-line rebuttal to the council before its next meeting. Aste declined to comment on specific inaccuracies but said a timeline forecasting a possible trustees sale of the land was incorrect.
He said that irrespective of the report, council members have already made up their minds on the bonding.
Publicly, several council members have said they are undecided on whether to borrow the $10 million.
"What we're trying to do is make the project work," said Councilman Mike Rutter. "We want to do the best we can to protect ourselves and make sure this project is viable."
Aste said after last week's meeting that additional funding opportunities have opened up, easing his timeline for repaying debt.
The council will next consider the issue at its Oct. 28 meeting.

|Grootslang, Elephant-Snake, Ears
Description: Elephant head on a snake. Ugly. Big ears. Beady, yellow-gem eyes. Sharp teeth. Big ears. Scaly. Shits gemstones. Mostly shit though. Half-corporeal. Leaves behind big single tracks. No slithering. Straight tracks. Sounds like rumbling. Hundred rattles at once. - Turtle-1
There's no way just that will be good enough of a description! And you don't need to tag your name after everything you write either. - Turtle-2
Ganesha is a large grey serpent with an elephant head. Ganesha's tracks are at least twenty (20) feet1 in width. The length is unknown.
The aberrant has two massive tusks that point downward. Ganesha uses these appendages to gore prey and bring them back to its nest.
When not in contact with corporeal prey, Ganesha is intangible. Aberrant becomes corporeal when striking and retrieving prey, thus generally leaving only one set of tracks. Ability to carry prey as heavy as a three (3) tons2 indicates exceptional strength. Aberrant has been observed splintering trees simply by coiling around them.
Ganesha has large topaz gemstones inset around its eyes as well as clear gemstones scattered around the main body. Mouth is capable of unhinging and swallowing a elephant whole. Does not make trumpeting sounds, unfortunately. I'm sad about that.
Background: Warders first sighted Ganesha forty (40) years ago in Adirondack State Park near Albany, NY. Society members have nicknamed the aberrant a Hindu god due to its appearance and the prevalent Indian population in the New York area. Volunteers of the Society knowledgeable in Hindu folklore have speculated that the aberration's presence in the state is a direct result of the Hindu/Buddhist population. Unsubstantiated rumors have also drawn a connection between Ganesha and a large serpentine cryptid that reportedly disappeared at the same time as the aberrant's first sighting.
Warders tracking Ganesha have recently (within the last decade) reported that the aberrant has markedly changed in both appearance and behavior. In the past, Ganesha was described as a creature dressed in extravagant gilded robes, bearing four arms, a crown, and capable of speech in an unknown language3. In addition, Ganesha was never observed hunting, drinking, or eating. Recent observations have reported that the aberrant's remaining robes are now filthy and torn. All arms have disappeared through unknown means. Starting in 2008, Ganesha has begun hunting for prey and has gradually increased the frequency of such hunts. Prey has escalated from rabbits and birds to deer and finally to elephants from the New York zoo. In addition, Ganesha is suspected to be behind several Norman disappearances.
Ganesha matches the description for a fabled South African cryptid said to also be the combination of an elephant and a snake. I don't know anything about the connection between the two, but I'm sure it doesn't matter that much. No clear connection has been drawn between the two, but keep an eye out for it.
Location and Population: Ganesha lives in an unmarked cave within the forested area of Adirondack State Park in New York. Access to the cave is restricted to a single blocked-off deer trail. Ganesha's trails can generally be used to track the aberrant back to its nest within the cave. Nest contains bits and pieces of its old robe and is constructed of boulders. Nest is partially submerged and has a spire in the middle that Ganesha coils around while resting. Stalagmites have mostly been knocked over and strewn off to the sides of the cave. Droppings within the cave potentially do contain precious gems. Ganesha is likely the only entity of its kind in the area.
Straight cave. Slight downhill. Water-carved. Little stream flows though. Could maybe poison. Alternate entrance up hill. Dug in. Little ledge. Really bad light. Can't see after sundown. Nest. Middle of cave. Good place to take a shot. It knows about spot. Tolerates watching. When not hungry, at least. Entrance to cave, soft soil. Can dig a pit. Weak rocks on top. Good explosion could cave in. Lotsa bats. Outside of a cave clearing. Aberrant could rampage there. Best to put not too far out. Too much movement to dispel. Could easily knock trees over around. Don't trust 'em.
Hunting or Procurement Methods: Clever fucker. Recognizes guns. Fast. Strong. Don't know about scent. Sensitive to light. Can't shoot incorporeal. Can't hit you either. Need to wait. Once it's gored something. Keeps its tusks out of commission. Takes too long to pull anything off. Makes a sound. Rattles. Becomes tangible. Doesn't hit first. Thick skull. Could ram a car. Flatten it. It's eating. Hit it hard. Fast. Two outfits. At least.
Update as of AugustBased on the info we received from the pandits in the New York area, Ganesha has been reclassified as a metaph. We have also received info on a ritual that would likely dispel the aberrant. The steps are as follows:
Encounter Records:
Additional Notes:
Background update - August 2018
Hindu contacts within the Society have offered a much clearer view of the metaph's history. Once a sufficient amount of Hindus had immigrated into the state of New York, the temples were given sanction to perform a ritual to summon a divine aspect of the Hindu god Ganesha, god of knowledge and overcoming obstacles. They performed this ritual forty (40) years ago. The aspect possessed the body of an existing serpent cryptid during the ritual. For three decades, the aspect of Ganesha was a benevolent entity offering wisdom, prophecies, and divine assistance to the Hindu community in New York and the United States as a whole. However, due to the lack of believers and the proximity to New York City - a so-called "den of iniquity" - Ganesha gradually became corrupted by the vices. Eventually, Ganesha became almost completely stripped of its divinity and devolved into a semi-corporeal aberrant with an insatiable hunger. The temples maintain that while vicious, it has barely enough sense to avoid eating normans en masse, only eating normans or warders when they are unlucky enough to stumble across it accidentally.
Due to how dicey the situation was getting, the Hindu temples contacted us. It might slip further and finally just transform into a town-eating monster. Believe me - me and the pandits are doing the god a mercy.
They actually gave us some stuff to work with though, which is nice. We received the necessary information for rituals and some useful artifacts. Email me to get them; the goodies are six (6) blessed Lotus Charms that should prevent it from outright crushing you and some incense to mask your scent. The charms are apparently anathema to the metaph and burn Ganesha's skin if it gets too close, so maybe there are some offensive capabilities. Happy hunting!

On September 30th, 2016, Boston Manor released Be Nothing., their debut full-length album. In the time since, the band gathered quite the following due to their raw and powerful lyrics, fueled by passion and angst and everything else that makes pop punk so badass. Back nearly two years later with their sophomore LP, Welcome to the Neighbourhood is a totally new approach that will completely blindside fans who were hoping for more of the same old sound.
Starting the album off is title track "Welcome to the Neighbourhood," and it's clear that Boston Manor are throwing away all expectations and experimenting with a new alt-rock-esque style. Hats off to them for the effort, but if you're here for the punk vocals from Henry Cox that you fell in love with two years ago, you may be turned off by this record right off the bat. Although it drew me in due to the element of surprise, I was ultimately underwhelmed by the end of the intro. After listening to the rest of the record, I wholeheartedly believe that they could have picked any other song to introduce the album–this one just didn't do it justice.
The following song, "Flowers in Your Dustbin," immediately carries a heavier edge in contrast to the opener. The fact that Boston Manor went from a somewhat boring intro to a number like this kept me on my toes. With insane guitar riffs courtesy of Mike Cuniff and Ash Wilson, and some screaming towards the second half, this song satisfied what I, personally, had been waiting for. "Flowers in Your Dustbin" brought my hopes back up for what the rest of the LP may have in store.
"Funeral Party" is one of my favorites from Welcome to the Neighbourhood. The backing vocals from Mike and bassist Dan Caniff make the song whole, adding an extra dimension and some complexity to its overall sound. The screaming in this one is intense and essential, considering just how much the guitars are absolutely shredding. The inclusion of this song to the album was absolutely necessary in order to pick up the energy and give it some life.
I can't review this album without mentioning "FY1," an interlude that takes the place of track 11. Streaming at just a little over a minute, this one sounds like the backing for an alien movie where they are invading the planet and abducting humans. With some spooky vibes, it provided a nice break and immediately caught my attention. Is it different? Yes. But the total freedom of creative expression is essential and encouraged, and, again, I've got to give it up to Boston Manor for this one. The album went from loud and in your face to a suddenly quiet, eerie instrumental, before picking things up again.
On Welcome to the Neighbourhood, Boston Manor came out of the gate completely fresh, bare, and honest with the experimentation and bending of multiple genres to make an alternative rock/metal album that will leave fans absolutely scratching their heads. Was this album for me? Maybe not. But does this album showcase Boston Manor's creativity and willingness to grow as artists? It absolutely does, and I think, after a few listens, fans will embrace it and welcome it with open arms.

Stripping Bark
Please close this window to return to previous page.
Yvonne Walker-Keshick:
Usually when we pick the bark, it's usually a hot, sunny day. The mosquitoes are insane, worse than today. They're just swarming all over, the mosquitoes are. We need a thunderstorm, a hot, warm day, the strawberries, the wild strawberries got to be ripe, and then we need the birch tree, to pick the bark. The sun would be coming from that way, the sun would hit this side of the tree. The sap would be flowing heavier on the sunny side of the tree and a little slower and a little more sluggish on the shady side. But this is actually, the shady side, is where we cut because it seems to have the most scars and what we want is birchbark that is clear with no scars on it. To test it, we start off with a T-cut. If the bark is going to strip, this little corner would lift up, but it's not going to today because of the temperature. No, it's not; it's sticking real tight, so the sap is really tight there. If that T at the corner had lifted up, we would have cut straight down and then across this way. By the time we were going across this way, this top stuff is peeling off and cracking and separating, and you can hear it. Sounds like a gunshot in the woods. If we had taken the bark off, it would have come off, we would have laid the bark on the ground, the sap-side up and it would start to dry. But we do not touch the tree. We don't touch the sap if we take it. When we take the bark from the tree, you do not touch the tree because that sap there that's under the bark is what protects that tree. And if you disturb the sap, then it could weaken the tree and insects could get there and land and disease could land on the tree and hurt it.

Dear Overachieving Perfectionist: You Don't Have To Be Everything To Everyone
As a highly sensitive, overachieving, perfectionist, and people pleaser with high expectations for myself (that I don't ever seem to reach anyway), I know what it's like. To feel like you have to be everywhere to everyone all the time. Most days, it's even hard pleasing yourself let alone everyone else.
I often find myself either burnt out or on the fast track to being burnt out.
Sound familiar?
You're always on the edge. And while you're getting your 8 hours of sleep each night, you're alway waking up feeling restless and overwhelmed?
It's a harsh reality to know that you can't be everything to everyone all the time (including yourself, especially yourself). And to know that sometimes you have to put yourself first before others to stay sane and continue being a functional human being.
But it's true. You don't have to be everything to everyone all the time.
The truth is you will never be able to please everyone.
It seems like some people make it their personal vendetta to be unhappy with everything and everyone, but that's not a reflection on you or your work.
My fellow people pleasers, do not try to take on their weight and unhappiness. You cannot fix other people's unhappiness and problems for them.
Happiness is a choice, gratitude is another choice, and every day we make choices about our lives.
Choices about what we want. Choices about who we are. Choices about how we act. Choices about what we do.
We make all kinds of choices everything - about our clothing, our food, our environment, our friends, our living situation, etc. You are not responsible for the choices that other people make. You are, however, responsible for the choices you make.
So choose to let go of what you cannot control.
It is not your responsibility or weight to carry.
Choose to get out of bed every morning Choose to do the inner soul work. Choose to go through the pain and heal yourself. Choose to go to therapy. Choose to educate yourself. Choose to grow, to learn, and to be better.
And if at the end of the day, you feel like you've somehow failed yourself and everyone around you, choose to not give up and try again tomorrow.
Self-love, happiness, self-care, gratitude, trust, patience, kindness, empathy, connection, friendship. These are all choices. We can choose to have them or not, but they are still our choices to make. The good new? These things are completely within our control.
But things like the judgment of others and rejection - those things we cannot control, so do not spend too much time worrying about those things. Or trying to attain the approval or love of everyone around you.
The only approval and love that matters is your own.
When you choose to love yourself, you set yourself free. From the expectations, the judgment, and the not feeling good enough.
My dear friend, you are doing great.
Keep going. Do not be too hard on yourself. Try and try again; every day is a new opportunity to do better and to be better. Remember to take care of your body and your mind; you only get one of each.
Dear friend, you don't have to be everything to everyone.
But you do have to be something to yourself.
You matter. Make sure you know that.
With lots of love,
Molly (your pep talker whenever you need one)

text: EXAMINER.COMInterview: Ash ReiterAsh Reiter is a natural. The way she sings and sways and commands the stage, it's like she was born to play music. So it's difficult to imagine a time when Reiter wasn't churning out sugar-sweet, sultry-sounding, pop-infused songs, but it turns out, that wasn't so long ago. The newly-26-year-old Reiter said it wasn't until her senior year of college that she realized she had a good voice. Furthermore, it was her roommate – a music major at UCSC – who tipped her off to the fact.Having taken guitar lessons in high school, Reiter already knew enough about music to start writing and performing, which is exactly what she did. She began collaborating with musical outfits, which ranged from folksy acts to more jazzy types of music. And after graduating from college, the Sepastopol, Calif., native traveled and moved around a lot, trying to figure out her place, before settling down as a second-grade teacher in Oakland, Calif. Today, she works with an after-school program, teaching music to children.Reiter said her style, which has been described as indie, folk, rock, jazz and she personally refers to as "island-influenced", draws inspiration from friends in local bands, including Rubies, as well as bigger bands like Little Joy and even The Clash."[But] it always changes," she insisted. Her 15-song debut album, "Paper Diamonds," was released in February of this year, after more than couple years of hard work – work which is more than apparent in the beautifully polished aesthetic of the album. It features plenty of lush harmonies and delicate hooks, and runs the gamut from upbeat rock 'n' roll-inspired tunes to tentative and stripped-down ballad-y numbers.Work on the album began in 2007, when Reiter collaborated with Phoenix-based Shane Kennedy, who "was kind of the guy masterminding it," she said.Unfortunately, Reiter was sick during the process and ending up having to scrap a lot of the recordings."It just gave me this very vulnerable, whispy sort of voice," she explained.But in spite of not coming out with many successful takes, Reiter said that she doesn't regret the time spent on the recordings."That was a really good experience for me," she said of her exposure to a professional recording environment, noting that – a solo artist up until that point – she especially was unaccustomed to playing with other musicians.In the time since then, Reiter laid down and completed all the tracks on he album, resulting in an exquisitely appealing and very real debut.And then came the process of promoting the album and playing shows. However, in the past few years since Reiter began moving forward on her musical path, she has definitely made a name for herself even before she had an album to tout, playing small bills and large festivals alike (the Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle being one example), filming videos of studio performances, and even sneaking in a Daytrotter session or two.Included in her live band are musicians Drew Brown (guitar), Mike Spreer (bass) and Will Halsey (drummer). The latter is also her boyfriend and partner in songwriting. In addition to playing together in Ash Reiter, they have a conceptual electro-pop side project, Sugar Candy Mountain."We both wanted to make happy music," she said of their collaboration. "Lately we're just wanting to make people dance."This marks a new kind of songwriting for Reiter, who admitted her songs were much more personal when she first set out to write. Now, she finds herself in the collaborative position a lot more often, which creates a self-imposed distance between Reiter and the words she pens."[Co-writing songs is] kinda hard for me," she said. "It's a different way of thinking."Currently, the Ash Reiter crew is in the studio, recording the follow-up to "Paper Diamonds" at East Bay studio New Improved Recording. The album, set to be named "Hola," will be released in Spring of 2011. But for fans who can't wait to hear the new material, local label 20 Sided Records will put out a 7-inch in January, featuring three of the songs from the new album.While Reiter has undeniably come a long way from the recording novice of just a few years ago, she still enjoys the aspect of the live experience the most. In fact, for her, nothing beats the feeling of "putting on a show [and] being on stage performing."Although, she has noticed a dichotomy between the way crowds and fans interact with her at different venues. College audiences, she said, are typically "attentive to your every move," which makes her feel somewhat self-conscious. But on the flipside, Reiter said that sometimes she also plays where "you have to try and win over people."However, that somewhat-unpredictable fluctuation of playing live is part of what makes it so much fun, and Reiter's main goal with the band is just to "get some sort of momentum going."This includes touring outside of the Bay Area more, playing in other bands and recording more albums."I want to make more music videos [too]," she said. As for her long-term plans as a musician?"I don't know if I want to be Sheryl Crow when I grow up," she said. "[But] I'd like to make it my career."

Funny Emails
Sometimes you have to be careful when you are attempting to send a funny email. For example, one time I was working on a big transaction at around 2:00 AM. I was really ready to go home and go to bed and all I needed to do that was to receive a PDF signature page from these lawyers at another firm. When I asked to see the signature page, this young lawyer replied, "I will not release the signature page." I thought that was a little rude but saw this as a chance to score some points with and boost the morale of my own colleagues who were next to me in a conference room also waiting for the stupid signature page. I downloaded a picture of the rude young lawyer and each of his colleagues from the firm's website, copied each of them into the body of an email and wrote underneath the lineup of pictures, "We will not release the signature page". I read it a few times to myself and had a good laugh about it as it made it seem like they were really trying to defend that signature page. I sent the email and then looked at the faces of my colleagues awaiting their amusement at my clever email. Turns out, I accidentally replied all to the whole group including the lawyers I was making fun of. They didn't send over that signature page for a few more hours.

Tsipras is visiting Riga, Latvia, today and tomorrow, to participate in the 4th Eastern Partnership summit, which is focusing on issues relating to Eastern Europe. He is due to hold talks today with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, as well as other European leaders and officials on the sidelines of the summit meeting, as efforts continue towards the political impetus needed to successfully conclude negotiations between Greece and its creditors.
Speaking to the Guardian in Athens yesterday (20.5), government spokesman Gavriel Sakellarides noted that while such decisions are ultimately are taken at Finance Ministers' level in the Euro Group, "…at this critical moment, a meeting between Tsipras and Merkel can only be helpful." Talks would focus on the headway negotiators had made since the two leaders last met, he added, denying that the government faced the dilemma of sticking to its "red lines" or seeing the county rejected from the euro zone.

Date:June 12, 2018
The New Hampshire injury attorneys at Manning and Zimmerman Law know that furry, scaly, or feathered companions are nearly a given in most American homes (including ours). It is estimated that 68 percent of all American households own pets, and in 2017 these households spent over $69 billion on food, vet care, and more for their beloved companions. Clearly, an injury to a pet can be traumatic and expensive for owners, especially if it was caused by the negligence of another party. Consider these legal options:
Criminal charges: There are criminal laws against animal cruelty in all 50 states. If you believe there was willful and malicious intent to injure or kill your pet, the New Hampshire animal cruelty laws might apply. Immediately file a complaint with local law enforcement and provide as much detail as possible. If charged and found guilty, perpetrators of animal abuse can serve jail time and be held responsible for damages.
Civil action: According to the New Hampshire injury attorneys at Manning and Zimmerman Law, you may also be entitled to monetary damages in civil court if someone negligently injures or kills your animal companion, regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental. In these cases, you are generally entitled to the "market value" of your pet. Pets are considered property, and a market value is assigned based on a number of factors, including but not limited to:
You may also recover the veterinary costs incurred while caring for your pet after the injury.
Legal descriptions aside, we all know that pets are not mere personal property. They become beloved friends, companions, and part of the family. Over the years, pet owners and animal advocacy groups have pushed the courts to recognize emotional distress after a pet is negligently injured or killed. One recent case of note involved a 2012 lawsuit filed by a family in California after a neighbor attacked the family dog with a baseball bat. The injuries were so severe that surgery was required. The family was awarded veterinary costs as well as damages for emotional distress.
However, most courts have followed years of precedent and ruled against recognizing emotion-based damages in animal injury cases. In the recent case of a dog that was accidentally euthanized, the Supreme Court of Texas said: "We acknowledge the grief of those whose companions are negligently killed. Relational attachment is unquestionable. But it is also uncompensable. We reaffirm our long-settled rule … Pets are property in the eyes of the law, and we decline to permit non-economic damages rooted solely in an owner's subjective feelings."
Visit the Animal Legal Defense Fund for more information on what to do if your companion animal has been wrongly injured or killed.
Aside from the pain, an injured pet will most likely be confused or scared. Take these 10 steps immediately after your pet is hurt:

Between 9pm and 9.30pm on Wednesday (12/4) the victim, a 23-year-old woman, was walking towards the shops in Meadowcroft, Quarrendon, when she was approached by a man walking from Wigmore Road.
The man grabbed her wrist and held it tightly while aggressively demanding she empty her pockets. The victim raised her voice at the offender and tried to pull away.
The victim and offender continued to struggle and the offender threatened her. She looked down and saw the victim had a small pen knife implement in his hand.
The victim emptied her pockets and gave the man a quantity of cash. The offender also stole her Michael Kors watch and a Pandora bracelet, which broke as he took it from her.
The man then pushed her away and ran down Wigmore Road. The victim was not injured during the incident.
The offender is described as white, around 6ft and had a slim build. He had dark brown eyes and bushy dark brown eyebrows. He was wearing a black hooded top, black jogging trousers and a black balaclava.

NFL Pick'em: Week 10 NFL Picks
Welcome to our weekly NFL Pick'em. The hosts of the My Fantasy Podcast (Dan, Brandon and Orlando) pick every game straight up and crown one champion of all champions at the end of the season.
Standings after Week 9
Dan Schalk: 70-62
Brandon Reid: 77-55
Orlando Torres: 74-58
As you know, we have one "celebrity picker" each week and they will battle it out for supremacy and bragging rights. Our Week 9 celebrity picker, Casey Birch fared better than he did when he had a losing record in Week 3–but he came nowhere close to Graham Sweet who holds onto 1st place.
Celebrity Picker Standings
Graham Sweet (Week 8): 11-2
Mathew Aguiar (Week 7) 12-3
Malachi David (Week 6) 8-6
Casey Birch (Week 9): 7-6
(Week 3): 6-10
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Week 4): 8-8
Patrick Rahall (Week 5): 6-8
Week 10 NFL Picks
Jets at Buccaneers
Dan Schalk: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I'll take Fitz against his former team. The bearded-wonder always seems to play well for his team the first year, then falls off. Luckily for the Bucs, this is Fitzpatrick's first season.
Brandon Reid: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think Fitzpatrick is solid enough to guide the Bucs offense, even without Mike Evans. The Jets are going to be without Matt Forte and Jeremy Kerley. This could be an explosion of points with no defense, or it could be a grind fest. The running backs on both sides could be in store for really good days.
Orlando Torres: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Don't be surprised if the Jets win this game on the road, but I'm going to say the Bucs pull this off. Evans isn't playing, but he's right when saying there's too much talent on this team for them not to win. Plus it's a revenge game for some Fitz magic.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): New York Jets. Jets coach Todd Bowles has a bone to pick with Ryan Fitzpatrick. With Jameis Winston on the sideline, Fitzpatrick gets the start. This should bode well for a Jets team that's stunning the NFL, even at 4-5. Regardless if the suspension of Bucs WR Mike Evans is rescinded, the Jets defensive front will feast on a very familiar QB to them from last year.
Saints at Bills
Dan Schalk: New Orleans Saints. Living in Buffalo my entire life I know this team and the culture that surrounds it—they are not very good and have gotten VERY lucky the first half of the season. Fun fact–the Bills have not beaten a team with a winning record.
Brandon Reid: Buffalo Bills. The Bills are undefeated at home this year. New Orleans is riding a six game winning streak after losing their first two games this year. I completely believe that New Orleans is the better team. But it's going to be a cold day in Buffalo, and the Bills defense should be able to stop the run enough to key in on Brees a little more. I will be impressed if the Saints go on the road and win this one.
Orlando Torres: New Orleans Saints. I cant wait to watch this game. Every time I've picked against the Bills they've proved me wrong. Especially at home, but the Saints are legit this year so I'm picking against the Bills again.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Buffalo Bills. There's simply no way you can overlook the Buffalo Bills this year. What they've put together from Week 1 has been a surprise. With the Saints having to leave the comfort of the Superdome for a chilly day in Upstate New York, expect the edge of weather and the fan base to favor Buffalo to a victory.
Browns at Lions
Dan Schalk: Detroit Lions. The Browns may win a game, but it will not come on the road in Detroit.
Brandon Reid: Detroit Lions. The Lions have not been playing well in the last month, but this is a man up game. A home loss against the winless Browns, in Week 10, could send major repercussions throughout Detroit. I could see calls for Caldwell's job, and a complete lack of trust in Stafford rippling through local Detroit media. Cleveland will win a game this season, I just probably won't predict it.
Orlando Torres: Detroit Lions. Looking at the Browns remaining schedule I'm not sure who they beat. They have the Jags coming up, so maybe they beat the Chargers again like they did last year to avoid going 0-16, or maybe they beat the Packers who are without Rodgers, but not this week. Chalk up another L for Cleveland.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Detroit Lions. There's simply not enough the Browns can do to overcome the Lions. Defensively, Cleveland has stats that are slightly better than Detroit, but then home field advantage comes into play. This favors Detroit, and with the Lions offense, their receivers and running backs are better than Cleveland's. Detroit has this one.
Bengals at Titans
Dan Schalk: Tennessee Titans. My fantasy team hopes Marcus Mariota can play like Marcus Mariota.
Brandon Reid: Cincinnati Bengals. Don't accuse me of being a homer. I told you guys last week I was picking the Titans but didn't want to. They won by three. As a matter of fact, they're last two wins over the Browns and Ravens were both by a field goal. Cincinnati's pass defense is one of the better in the league allowing only 192 passing yards per game. The Titans have been teetering on a loss for weeks, and just don't look fluid. We may be hearing talk of Mularkey being replaced real soon. Talent is no longer the excuse in Tennessee.
Orlando Torres: Cincinnati Bengals. This an interesting game. Mariota has not been that explosive guy we thought he would be, and the Bengals offensive line can't save Dalton's life for anything. But the Bengals are still better defensively, and will be able to edge one out on the road.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Tennessee Titans. The Titans defense has a great opportunity to feast on what has been a really bad Andy Dalton. The secondary is especially coming in with the advantage. The inconsistency at QB, coupled with what is a disappointing team altogether, the Titans can grab a big win against this team.
Packers at Bears
Dan Schalk: Green Bay Packers. Eventually Brett Hundley has to win a game.
Brandon Reid: Chicago Bears. This is one of the two games I had the Packers winning the rest of the season, post Aaron Rodgers. I changed my mind. The Bears are 2-2 since going to Mitchell Trubisky and I like the toughness they have been playing with. For example, going to New Orleans two weeks ago and playing tough in a 20-12 loss. They are coming off a BYE week and playing at home. This one might be a dog fight, but I really like the Bears chances.
Orlando Torres: Green Bay Packers. Green Bay sure as hell misses Aaron Rodgers, and Bears fans are happy that they don't have to see him, but at the end of the day these two teams hate each other! Last time they played, Davante Adams left on a stretcher, and Rodgers tossed multiple TD's. This game will be much closer, but I'm still taking the Pack to squeeze one out here.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Chicago Bears. If the Bears offensive line can keep consistent protection around Mitchell Trubitsky, it'll make a rivalry division matchup easier for Chicago to control. The Packers have thrown their backup QB Brett Hundley to the wolves of defensive line. With already an inconsistent offensive line in Green Bay, the Bears will have a field day getting to the QB. As long as they can keep their offense going and be in the red zone as much as they can, they will keep the Packers at bay.
Chargers at Jaguars
Dan Schalk: Jacksonville Jaguars. Philip Rivers isn't that good especially against a dominant defense. Maybe if Tony Romo was suiting up for the Chargers they would have a chance (Brandon Reid knows what I'm talking about).
Brandon Reid: Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chargers will have to avoid any turnovers in this one to have a shot. The Jags should be able to gash them with the run game, and shut down Philip Rivers and the pass game. The game is balanced out by the fact that Jacksonville may not be able to move the ball through the air much at all. So once again, if the Jags defense has any takeaways, they pick up the home win. But look out for the Gus Bradley factor. He could read the Jags playbook and beat them to every punch. He just can't stop Philip Rivers from throwing to the dark jerseys.
Orlando Torres: Jacksonville Jaguars. This Jags defense is championship material, but with Bortles under center it's interesting to see how far they will go. I'd love to take the Bolts to beat them because Rivers is a saavy veteran, but the Chargers always find a way to screw themselves at the end.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): LA Chargers. Despite Jacksonville with the better defense, Melvin Gordon can exploit that front defensive line, as he's put in a brilliant season despite the Chargers mishaps. He'll be the factor along with Chargers QB Philip Rivers hitting his targets and keeping the Chargers from too many 3 and Out situations. This will be a close game, but the Chargers can see it out.
Vikings at Redskins
Dan Schalk: Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have a better defense and better skill players. That's a recipe for a victory.
Brandon Reid: Minnesota Vikings. The Redskins have looked lost on offense throughout most of the season so far. The Vikings defense is a beast. They shut you down! I'm afraid that Washington is just not quite ready physically to take on this challenge. I think they very well could pull this one out at home, but I'm not predicting it.
Orlando Torres: Minnesota Vikings. What a QB carousel in Minnesota. Remember when Teddy was basically done after his gruesome injury, then Bradford came in and actually looked good, and they made the playoffs and nobody laughed? Well now Bradford is back to his old ways and people are laughing again, and Keenum might be benched for Teddy pretty soon. Ehh what a mess. I'll still take the Vikes at home though.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Minnesota Vikings. It should be a close game as these two teams are evenly matched. Certain areas of the game where the Vikings excel, the Redskins don't and vice versa. Those counters make this game a matter of who will make the right play at the right time. With Washington not getting what they need out of their offense consistently, look for Minnesota to exploit that.
Steelers at Colts
Dan Schalk: Pittsburgh Steelers. Meh—this game doesn't interest me and since I'm last in the Pick'em I'll go with the obvious choice.
Brandon Reid: Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm not going to dig into stats here. The Steelers are playing the Colts.
Orlando Torres: Pittsburgh Steelers. Offensively the Colts are not a bad football team. Defensively it's a mess, and with Pittsburgh looking to pick up some steam here I have no idea how the Colts derail their train.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Indianapolis Colts. This is the upset pick. There's just something about Colts QB Jacoby Brissett and his ability to just uplift that offense. Maybe it's that time he got last year with New England and being under the tutelage of Bill Belichick. The Steelers are better than the Colts, but there's just something in the feeling of this game, sometimes you have to take a risk. The Colts have played with fire this year, so why not go with them this weekend to wrestle another surprising win? This game will be close and come down to the last play of the game.
Texans at Rams
Dan Schalk: LA Rams. I can't believe how Sean McVay has turned Jared Goff into an NFL QB. Coach of the Year?
Brandon Reid: LA Rams. I hate to say it but the Rams are a complete team. Great defense, elite running back, solid offensive line, and a young quarterback that's not having to do too much. Deshaun Watson was the Texans offense. He was their shot of adrenaline. Too much loss for the Texans this year. They are missing arguably three of their best four or five players, not to mention one is the quarterback of the offense, the other is the quarterback of the defense.
Orlando Torres: LA Rams. Houston just isn't the same without Watson period! And the Rams are not the same old Rams. Expect another blowout. How bout Jared Goff and those Rams!
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): LA Rams. Without their QB Deshaun Watson, the Texans don't have a chance to overcome the Rams who put up 51 points last week against the Giants. Granted, the Giants aren't the Goliath of NFL defenses but 51 points and the amount of momentum in confidence, ability, and streak play that brings into the next week is huge for Los Angeles. The Rams could put on another high point performance this weekend.
Giants at 49ers
Dan Schalk: San Francisco 49ers. I picked the Giants to win more often than not this season. I'm done getting burned.
Brandon Reid: San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers win!!! The Giants are the worst team in the NFC and McAdoo's seat is quite toasty as winter sets in.
Orlando Torres: New York Giants. Besides the fans of these teams who's really going to watch this game between these two teams? If Jimmy G plays I might tune in, but after getting embarrassed by the Rams at home, I'm taking Eli to bounce back on the road.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): San Francisco 49ers. If this really comes to past, don't expect Giants HC Ben McAdoo to have the job past Monday. Despite how bad the Niners are this year, it can't be as bad as the Giants. Dysfunctional in almost every facet of the organization let alone the team's players, the cancer is spreading in the Giants camp. Eli Manning is clearly too old to be behind center, the defense would be beat by the writers of this website, and at this point, the fans have to be regretting running Tom Coughlin out of town. San Francisco could throw Jimmy Garoppolo at the Giants, but regardless they have enough to beat New York by what could be a good margin.
Cowboys at Falcons
Dan Schalk: Dallas Cowboys. Alfred Morris > Falcons defense.
Brandon Reid: Atlanta Falcons. Oh boy. This is a hard one but I know neither Dan or Orlando is picking Atlanta. The Falcons will eventually have to get their act together. They were the league's number one scoring team last year and didn't lose anything. I wasn't completely sold on Dallas with Zeke, so I'm definitely less as high on them without Zeke. The Falcons should play from ahead through most of this game.
Orlando Torres: Dallas Cowboys. This is a tough game to pick, but whether Zeke plays or not the Falcons are their own worst enemy. They can't get out of their own way as of late, and the Cowboys are playing with a chip on their shoulder after losing Zeke, so I'm still expecting both teams to put up points.
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Atlanta Falcons. Let's call this another upset pick. But for a team like the Falcons, and what they have, it's surprising to see them where they are this year. Nevertheless, Atlanta has the pieces on both sides of the ball to give Dallas enough trouble to frustrate them. Their focus will be on Dallas' run game with Alfred Morris, Rod Smith and DMAC, making sure they don't break one open. Contain them, and you'll open up to be able to hold back the receivers enough to get a close win.
Patriots at Broncos
Dan Schalk: New England Patriots. I had a dream last night I met Bill Belichick for lunch–we ate, chatted and he picked up the check. Patriots win.
Brandon Reid: New England Patriots. The Patriots are not that good. They can be beat. However, it requires one thing to pull off such a feat…a decent quarterback. This will not be an easy win for the Patriots, but with the Broncos offense struggling like they are, I can't see this going in their favor. It will be COLD however.
Orlando Torres: New England Patriots. Remember back in 2015 when Brock Osweiler stepped in for an injured Peyton Manning and actually looked good? And guess what– he beat Tom Brady and the Patriots 30-24 during their SB season. Oh the memories. This time around there Brady has something in return for Brock maybe six TD's perhaps?
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): New England Patriots. Since both of these defenses don't have a high-grade, expect this game to be a shootout. If we're talking offensive production , Patriots overpower the Broncos quite well. Denver has their sack master in Von Miller but that's as far as they can go in upside on defense. Without the other areas of the defense intact, Tom Brady and Co. can feast on the Denver secondary and front defensive line. Patriots will put on a good show for Sunday Night Football.
Dolphins at Panthers
Dan Schalk: Carolina Panthers. Bank of America stadium is smoke-free. Smokin' Jay don't like that.
Brandon Reid: Carolina Panthers. Carolina is the league's fifth stingiest defense and only allows 17.7 points per game. The Dolphins offense is not very good to begin with, so I have no confidence in them going on the road, in a primetime game, and handing the Panthers solid defense. It has been a weird season, but if the Dolphins have a shot to win this Monday Night, I can't wait to see how.
Orlando Torres: Carolina Panthers. Say what you want but the Dolphins are not that bad of a team. Drake and Williams have played well, and Jay Cutler has not been the reason they've lost some games. The Panthers on the other hand are just better on both sides of the ball, and also Cam for the love of little baby Jesus, yes the Titanic sunk!
Dillon Davis-Tirado (Celebrity Picker): Carolina Panthers. Carolina is just the better team. With the Dolphins simply relying on a mediocre, injury-prone Jay Cutler, decent receiving, and two tandem backfield that simply can't make the yards, Miami doesn't stand a chance on the MNF stage.

PV Exhibition Launch event Weds 3rd May, 6pm
Presenting: In Defense of Our Culture
The current attack on club culture and the night-time industry in East London is not an isolated issue. It is directly linked to the regeneration plans, started & carried out by the London Docklands Development Corporation, an agency created by Thatcher in the 1980s, which followed on from the earlier destruction of the Docks and which devastated their surrounding communities.
The fight for land and property in the East End of London is the common thread that links the disappearance of our creative networks & culture to a much bigger plan to clear London for the super rich.
Come and hear from the people who have led campaigns to save our clubs and community spaces.
Film Screenings:
- Bigger Than Fabric – Natalie Wainwright
- Reclaim Our Heritage by Winstan Whittar

How to Plan Your Wedding Proposal
Whether the ring is already tucked away in a safe or you're still flirting with the idea of popping the question, it's never too early to start thinking about how to pull off your proposal plan without a hitch. Because social media has turned the business of proposals into displays of one-upmanship, the pressure to stage an elaborate scene is real—but it doesn't have to be that way.
Here, the steps to run through when you're thinking about how to propose.
Give yourself time to plan
After you get the ring, Glendeline Maduro, founder of The Proposal Planner Aruba, advises planning eight weeks in advance, give or take a few weeks depending on the grandeur of your scheme. Assuming you've broached the subject of spending the rest of your lives together in some capacity and share the same values, the proposal shouldn't completely blindside your partner, but an element of surprise will add to the occasion's delight. Clear your web history and use your work email to make arrangements. Disable email previews on any shared devices so an accidental notification doesn't spoil the moment.
Location, location, location
Old wisdom suggests choosing the location of your first date or kiss. But Guerdy Abraira, lead event designer and owner of Ocean Flowers and Events, says to pick a new location. "It will set the tone for your engagement. Forget the past and create the future," she says.
If your partner is on the shy side, keep it intimate. (Think of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—he proposed during a cozy night in, over roast chicken!) If they tend to binge-watch elaborate flash mob proposals on YouTube and generally thrive in the spotlight, make it a family—or community—affair. For outdoor proposals, make sure you have a plan B if the weather doesn't hold up or a permit on private property. Once you've secured the location, visit it a week or two beforehand during the same time of day on the same day of the week. Assess factors like traffic, walking distance, crowd size and lighting. Ensure there's room for a photographer to hide should you choose to hire one. The only surprise on that day should be the proposal itself.
Keep your support system small
If your imminent proposal is completely dominating your thoughts, you might be tempted to unload on everyone from coworkers to bartenders. But the more people who know, the higher a chance someone will ruin the surprise, Maduro says.
Keep one or two best friends or a family member in the loop for logistical reasons (say, if you've enlisted them to photograph the moment, decorate the location, or slyly escort your soon-to-be betrothed to the scene). Otherwise, keep it a secret until you're ready to go Instagram official.
Prepare bullet points
…But don't write them down on your sweaty palm. There's a stark difference between robotically reciting a scripted speech and having a few talking points in the back of your mind. While awkwardness is widely considered cute and quirky, you want to keep the stumbling to a minimum so as to get your point across.
"You should have an idea of what you'd like to say, which words you'd like to use or special moments you'd like to mention. By completely winging it, you'll freeze up. Every second will feel like a minute," Maduro says. But learning a speech by heart has its pitfalls—if you miss one word you might get lost and completely blank. Try to achieve a happy medium between improv and forethought.
Organize the whole day
Think of the proposal as one part of a monumental day. The rest of the afternoon or evening should be accounted for, Lobeto suggests—even if that means a quiet picnic for two, a couple's massage, or a trip to the bedroom. Again, you know your partner best: A lavish catered brunch for the whole family post-proposal will either keep the exciting momentum going or completely overwhelm them.
If this list is stressing you out? Abandon the plan
Save the stress of planning for the wedding and opt instead for a spontaneous proposal, which Abraira recommends as more genuine and raw. You don't want to begin resenting how many resources you've invested on a single moment and burn out before the big day. "Sometimes planning can get cumbersome and then it becomes not fun, which is why it's great to hire a planner or get a friend to help, but if that fails, carpe diem."

05 June 2018
The year is already halfway, and since our last newsletter, we had many opportunities to reach out to peoples needs. JESUS-film outreaches were held on several farms in Western Cape Aurora, Bo-Piketberg and Robertson area. Emphasis was on Evangelism, Assurance of Salvation, Spiritual Growth, Alcohol abuse and the impact of Aids. Apart from that, we also ministered to people through e-Mentoring and Industrial Ministry.
"Thank you so much. I just invited Jesus into my life. I love the conclusion part of the prayer which says, make me the person you want me to be Lord
Your faithful prayers and/or financial support keep us strong and going!!! We pray that the Lord will pour his blessings over you. YOUR INVESTMENT in our ministry is an investment in God's Kingdom!!
SHALOM!! SHALOM is a Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility and can be used idiomatically to mean both hello and goodbye. As it does in English, it can refer to either peace between two entities (especially between man and God or between two countries), or to the well-being, welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals. (Wikipedia)
So today, I pray SHALOM for you!!
JESUS-Film Outreach on a farm in the Western Cape. Even after the film has started, people keep on arriving till there are no more chairs available.
Peoples thoughts are captured when they see how Jesus is crucified. We normally show the film over 3 consecutive nights to make sure the foundation is laid strong.
The most important part of the outreach is the teaching that takes place every evening immediately after the show. Here Pieter emphasize the importance of Assurance of Salvation. This group in a small village in Bo-Piketberg was mainly young people - important, because they are the leaders of tomorrow.
Fill in the form below.
We will get back to you as soon as possible.
