Fascism Comes in Many Shades
17 January 14
ome of the best writers on the American left openly worry that the country is "on the brink of totalitarianism" and careening toward fascism, however they choose to define that very slippery word. The danger certainly exists, but a growing progressive movement could beat back the beast and push the country in a more positive direction. We could, that is, if we focus less on why we can't and more on how we can.
Optimism, cautious rather than cockeyed, goes a long way, but it is harder to keep alive here in France, where fascism, past and present, has a far greater reality. Ever since 2001, my wife Anna and I have lived in rural Dordogne, which still celebrates the World War II exploits of its anti-fascist French Resistance. It's all very romantic. But early in our first year I was walking in the nearby village, when I had to question whether we had made a frightful mistake. On the old stone walls of a deserted building, someone had crudely scrawled in white paint several six-pointed Stars of David, the ancient symbol now turned into a sign of racial hatred against Jews, whether pro-Zionist or not.
Anna is British, not Jewish, and was raised on stories of how her father, then an army officer, helped liberate the German concentration camp in Bergen-Belsen. Fearing for my safety, she wanted to pack up and leave. I was not about to let graffiti drive me away, but continued to wonder why the mayor never found it disturbing enough to remove. I should have asked him, but never did.
Soon after, I interviewed a Resistance hero, a lively gentleman in his 80s who had been honored, along with his mother and wife, for saving endangered Jews, many thousands of whom had fled to the Dordogne from German-occupied Alsace. He quickly cut through my illusions. A large majority of his neighbors, he said, had actively collaborated with the Nazis or passively went along with them. Nothing I have found disputes his judgment.
My next jolt came in the first round of the April 2002 presidential elections. Winning nearly 5 million votes, the National Front's Jean-Marie Le Pen beat out the flaccid Socialists for a place in the run-offs. Thuggish and charismatic, Le Pen was easily satirized as "Super-Facho," short for Super-Fascist, a name he well deserved. With support from the left, the center-right incumbent Jacques Chirac overwhelmed Le Pen, winning more than 80% of the second-round ballots.
Times have changed. Super-Facho's daughter Marine now runs the National Front and has rebranded it as an old-fashioned nationalist party, still right-wing and populist, but closer to the mainstream. She proudly proclaims her support for Israel. She insists she is not anti-Islam, but only opposed to what her father called "the Islamization of French Society." And, in her first run for the presidency in 2012, as Christopher Dickey reminds us, she "made a knowledgeable attack on neoliberal economics and finance-dominated capitalism, which many voters found more credible than Hollande's badly compromised social democratic critique or Jean-Luc Melénchon's far-left update of Karl Marx." All this has made the new Le Pen "the rising power in French politics," especially as the current Socialist president François Hollande had tanked in the polls even before the scandal of his romance with actress Juliet Gayet.
In local election this March, the National Front will field some 500 candidates, far more than in the past, and polls suggest that they will make a strong showing. Their platform remains much as it was. They want strict curbs on immigration, a crackdown on crime, and a return to protective tariffs. Le Pen has specifically targeted proposals for a trans-Atlantic trade accord, but offers no alternative beyond the dead-end of economic nationalism.
For the European parliamentary elections in late May, she sings the same siren song, playing on well-deserved criticisms of the undemocratic, bureaucratic, and far too neo-liberal European Union. She is allying herself with the anti-Islamic Geert Wilders in the Netherlands and other right-wing Euro-Sceptics to block any further integration of the European Union – and possibly to break it up entirely.
"I don't expect anything from the European system except that it explodes," she told Anglo-American journalists last week. If, as the polls suggest, the National Front does well in both elections, Super-Facho's daughter could in time do what he never could – win the presidency. Would she then remain bound by the rules of French democracy? Or would she swing back to her father's fascist ways?
No one knows. But I cannot get out of my mind the way he once characterized the Nazis in their rise to power. They were, he wrote, "a powerful mass movement, altogether popular and democratic, that triumphed through elections."
A timelier clue will be how Marine deals with the openly anti-Semitic comic Dieudonné M'bala M'bala. Performing under his first name, which translates as "God-given," the mixed-race Dieudonné gives a decidedly un-Aryan, third world cast to racial hatred, making himself the darling of disaffected young people of all races.
Brilliant onstage, he uses social media to spread his Holocaust "humor." Last month, French television – and YouTube – showed him attacking a Jewish journalist who is one of his fiercest critics. "When I hear talk of Patrick Cohen, I say to myself, you know, the gas chambers." Dieudonné pauses and raises an eyebrow. "A pity."
He also ridiculed the Holocaust in song. He explained that he was against Israel but not against Jews "yet." And he declared that in the conflict between Nazis and Jews, he did not know who started it and would not take sides.
One does not have to be Jewish for this to sound sick, but Dieudonné's audience lapped it up. Young people and sports figures also love to give his trademark gesture, the quenelle, holding one arm down at an angle and reaching upward across the chest with the other. Critics see it as a stiff-arm Nazi salute in reverse. Dieudonné insists that, as The New Yorker put it, it is "simply a defiant 'up yours' to the establishment."
How have the big shots responded? Exactly as expected. First they convicted him eight times for violating French speech laws that make it a crime to deny the Holocaust or spread racial and religious hatred. Having put all his assets in his wife's name, he never paid a single Sou.
Upping the stakes, Interior Minister Manuel Valls, officials in several cities, and the Council of State then banned his "Le Mur," The Wall, the performance in which he attacks Patrick Cohen. In turn, Dieudonné cleaned up his act a bit and now performs it as "Asu Zoa" – "The Face of the Elephant" in Ewondo, the Cameroonian language his father speaks. To Jewish observers, the new title looks like a clever anagram for USA ZOA, the Zionist Organization of America, which is probably the elephant he has in mind.
And so the show goes on, making officials appear ridiculous whatever they choose to do. If only Dieudonné were not such a hateful thug, his endless provocations would look like the best political jujitsu of non-violent civil disobedience, using the government's heavy-handed attack on what should be his right to free speech, no matter how vile, to makes himself even more of a hero to his growing base of fans.
Now the interior minister wants to censor YouTube, while Dieudonné threatens to go to the European Court of Human Rights. As for Marine, the public knows that her father befriended Dieudonné and god-fathered one his daughters, which makes them all family. What can she do? Just as she zigs toward the center right, at least publicly, Dieudo zags back to her father's worst hate-mongering, taking increasing numbers of young people with him. Her response so far has been lawyerly, which is how she used to earn her living.
"What he said against Patrick Cohen is against the law, and Mr. Dieudonné knows that perfectly well," she told the foreign journalists. "So he must assume the consequences, and he should be sanctioned."
Defending free speech, she sounded like a card-carrying member of the ACLU. "If political authorities start to ban shows in advance, because statements could be made during the event that would be outside the law, that makes me very afraid," she said. "It would be a totalitarian excess."
Too true. Yet Marine never slammed the anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial that Dieudonné and her father share with so many National Front supporters. Her approach seems too pitch perfect. Never bait Jews, Muslims, or blacks in public, but hold back from alienating those who would once they get the chance. Optimistic or not, it's going to get a lot worse here before it gets better.

A note of caution regarding our comment sections:
For months a stream of media reports have warned of coordinated propaganda efforts targeting political websites based in the U.S., particularly in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
We too were alarmed at the patterns we were, and still are, seeing. It is clear that the provocateurs are far more savvy, disciplined, and purposeful than anything we have ever experienced before.
It is also clear that we still have elements of the same activity in our article discussion forums at this time.
We have hosted and encouraged reader expression since the turn of the century. The comments of our readers are the most vibrant, best-used interactive feature at Reader Supported News. Accordingly, we are strongly resistant to interrupting those services.
It is, however, important to note that in all likelihood hardened operatives are attempting to shape the dialog our community seeks to engage in.
Adapt and overcome.

The weak owed fealty - plus service and most of their produce - to their feudal lord; but in exchange, he owed them protection.
Today, it's straight exploitation with nothing in return. And most of the peónes are just consigned to outer darkness.
The only people downstream of the corporate oligarchy who profit are those in their direct employ. As for our unprecedentedly mediocre herd of politicians, media hacks and whores, robocops, judges and other bought-and-SOLD iers... more and more of those will end up as indentured servants, kept on a pittance, hounds at their Masters' feet... Until the limitless greed of those Masters capsizes their ship and their household slaves rise up and overthrow them.
Meanwhile, this will not necessarily happen, yet the potential is there for developments more terrible and destructive than anything the 20th century, with its bloody wars and revolutions, Stalin, Hitler and Mao, gave rise to. Syria - everywhere.
Another point in the article: my own extended family included one of the liberators of Bergen-Belsen, and we are all marked by what he saw and shared with us.
Ours is no time for taking to bunkers or following Pied Pipers but for VIGILANCE. Feline vigilance, relaxed but swift to act.
You couldn't be more wrong about feudalism. Certainly what you describe was the idea and very probably largely adhered to at the beginning. But the whole deal began to crumble within just a few generations to something effectively resembling your description of current times.
It would be fair to argue that there was some occasional restraint on the part of the powerful, but it had nothing to do with their system but only that some of them had religious beliefs and did not wish to be damned.
No one believes in anything today, aside from rationalization . On those grounds, you could argue that the new feudalism will be worse.
However, everyone will go out tomorrow and vote for more of the same.
WolfTotem,are you a wishful thinking romantic or just perverse, needing to disagree with someone?
Your quibble. You and I agree, looks like we all agree on this.
I may have been among the first to use the term "new feudalism", but all I'm doing here is to point out that even a mafia-style racket is better than treating the poor and marginal like vermin.
The USA is moving towards a feudal society in which the top 1% control all wealth and dictate the remaining 99%, who happily accept their rule. The USA is becoming"Dowton Abbey," and the underlings are rejoicing.
YES gsemsel. I've said the same countless times, including in commentaries to articles by RSN. Unfortunately, the 99% don't notice anything and even defend the steps already taken in that direction. Talk about indoctrination! No drugs necessary, just TV. Probably your example of "Dowton Abbey" is too soft; reality could end up being a lot worse. How far in the world will the empire extend the system? I guess they are still debating the point. But in USA we are, could I say, almost half way through, or not yet? The outcome however is, I think, assured.
I note this article with a certain sadness, but I keep finding myself coming back to the notion that fascism, while abhorrent, is not the heart of the issue, at least not in the USA. The USA is moving towards a feudal society in which the top 1% control all wealth and dictate the remaining 99%, who happily accept their rule. The USA is becoming"Dowton Abbey," and the underlings are rejoicing.
You are right, gsemsel. Couldn't agree more.
"Anna is British, not Jewish"
Hello? Are these mutually exclusive groups?
Just what I was going to say.
In the twenties and thirties, the Nazis hammered away at the theme that Jews in Germany weren't really Germans. That's the excuse they used for deporting them to Poland--and we all know what happened after that.
I was in Berlin in the 80s and met an old man who told me he was Jewish and lived through a concentration camp. I asked him why he did not leave Germany, and he stood up and said "because I am German." So he was German and Jewish and was not going to let any Nazi drive him out of his country.
Treason is normally understood as the betrayal of one's own country, but in the fate of the German Jews, we have a prime example of something even more heinous: when a country betrays its own.
A prime example - but it has been happening everywhere and can happen anywhere.
Today's proto-Fascists need no armored trains, no March on Rome. Like Hitler, they're just waiting for their electoral windfall.
too bad they did that because it made a perfect pretext for expelling them from countries like Germany on racist grounds. The Reichstag building still has the inscription above its main doorway "ein reich; ein folk" -- "one kingdom; one race." This is a terrible mistake. All nations are multi-racial or multi-ethnic.
"Anna is British, not Jewish"
Hello? Are these mutually exclusive groups?
Quoting PhiloKvetch:
"Anna is British, not Jewish"
Hello? Are these mutually exclusive groups?
It is possible, isn't it, to be British, and "not Jewish" at the same time? As in British and of any gentile descent. The two identities are not mutually exclusive, but one could obviously be the first, and at the same time not the other. Duh!
Historically, that is a profoundly wrong, superficial understanding of the term Democracy. That may be where we are, but it is one of the major reasons I would for the first time vote for anyone but a Democrat. (I'd vote instantly for a woman or a gay one, but not a right-wing incompetent one.)
I also have lived part-time in France for decades. Please be very careful to not confuse racism, including anti-one religion or another, with fascism. One may or may not be an element of the other. Neither Bush nor Obama are overtly anti-Jewish, but both have raced down the path of fascism, militarism, and dictatorial power. Beyond its public image, America is teetering on the cusp of being a totalitarian plutocracy.
And if all we are given to vote for is the current version of Republican & Democrat, it won't take long to fall into the pit.
I remember seeing a Teaparty rallier with a sign saying "Obama -- keep your hands off my Medicare and Social Security." This person did not know that social security and medicare are government programs and communism at its heart.
Fascism is capitalism. Most americans don't know that. They think capitalism is freedom.
How can you have a discussion in such a confused nation.
"Fascism should really be called corporatism as it is the nexus of corporations and the state"
Benito Mussolini
One of the big things zionism did was to fabricate a history for Jews and to fabricate an analysis of the current condition of Jews in Europe. The Zionists wanted to destroy "European Jewry" as they said so that all Jews would have to move to a new "Jewish only nation." The 6 million was part of their fabrications since 1920. It is good to know that.
Zionists have fabricated all of the history of Palestine. Zionists popularized the slogan -- ""Palestine is a country without a people; the Jews are a people without a country." This of course was a lie. Palestinians had a very thriving culture in Palestine that had been going for several thousand years. The Zionists were not middle eastern Jews; they were Europeans.
It is just mendacity beyond endurance to claim 6 million victims and then deny the existence of all Palestinians.
If you want to understand America's unique brand of fascism (Mussolini more rightly called it "corporatism"...
There's a frequent misunderstandin g about Mussolini's use of the term "corporatism".
The term has nothing whatever to do with the current American use of the word "corporation" and is rather connected with an attempt to incorporate organized labor into the Fascist system via "corporations" meaning trade guilds.
After all, the first thing the Fascists set out to destroy were trade unions and all forms of grass-roots labor organization. And their thugs went about it with a will, funneling castor oil down the throats of trade unionists and democratic politicians, or simply killing them...
And yet, the entire focus of your article is on the abridgement of rights of one particular special interest group. Nothing on any fundamental central problem; nothing on any cohesive and unified fundamental approach to the problem.
In short, progressives want a different set of cards than fascists and each believes his own to be superior; each believes in force to achieve personal ends; and each is riddled with special interest agendas, except that fascists have fewer unity splitting agendas than progressives. Oh, and, uh, fascists are willing to cheat more than progressives. So all in all, the fascists keep on winning and the progressives, who aren't all that different in essence but just more conscience stricken (slightly) can only make occasional minor advances, which are basically allowed to assuage the masses (the fascists all remember Marie Antoinette), and usually not for very long.
You've said nothing new, nothing that was not said 40 and 50 years ago. You have a minor list of abuses and sins to rattle off.
No, you (and we) cannot beat back the beasts by a gush of new age positive thinking.
No, you (and we) cannot beat back the beasts by a gush of new age positive thinking.
Fine. But...
I didn't quite see what was either Romantic or perverse about my expressing fears of a future "Syria - everywhere".
But how do YOU, Sir, propose to beat a protean offshore, off-planetary monster that's far bigger and more tentacular than any fascistic enterprise - Rome, Berlin, Moscow or Beijing-based - ever was, and potentially far more dangerous?
Someone once said that democracy is a symphony - not a one trick pony. Our symphony has been diminished, and many of the necessary instruments have been silenced because they clash with the greed and lust for power fascism requires. Most of the rest of our instruments are the targets of those with that greed and lust for power. We will lose them as well unless people of good will educate themselves to what a democracy requires - tolerance, among other important attributes - and then demands them of ourselves and what's left of our representative government.
Let's not forget the definition of Facism, a word coined by a follower of Benito Mussolini. In 2 English words, it is simply "corporate dictatorship". In 1938, Mussolini dismissed all Italian elected officials and refilled their offices with people he chose from the highest ranks of the largest corporations in Italy. We are now getting there through the political side door - with the help of SCOTUS. Feudalism accompanies it.

Guam, the U.S. island in the Pacific, has received over 132,000 visitors in July, breaking a 20-year record.
"Another record in our history books is now broken with July 2017 becoming the best July in our tourism history. We have so much to be proud of in Guam's number one industry," Eddie Baza Calvo, the governor of Guam,said in a press release on Thursday.
Guam welcomed 132,952 visitors in July, an 8.1 percent increase compared to the previous year. July 2017 surpassed the top record held in 1997, according to the press release of the Guam Visitors Bureau.
"I commend the over 20,000 men and women in tourism, many of who were recently honored at the 2017 HERO awards by the Guam Visitors Bureau and Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association," said Calvo.
South Korean visitor arrivals recorded a 25 percent increase, while U.S. mainland visitor arrivals were up 14.9 percent over the last year.
Arrivals from Russia increased by 57 percent and from Europe by 13 percent, among others.
However, Guam's number one visitor market, Japan, experienced a decline of 5.2 percent in visitor arrivals in July because of airline companies' lack of seating capacity.

Xavier men's basketball coach Chris Mack knew for a long time that guard Trevon Bluiett had what it took to be special at the collegiate level, and several years later, the junior is proving the leader of the team to be right.
Over 34 games for the Musketeers (23-13) this season, Bluiett has averaged a team-best 18.5 points while shooting 43.7 percent from the field, 37.2 percent from three-point range and 75.6 percent from the free-throw line, all while pulling down 5.7 rebounds and handing out 2.1 assists every night.
"I've known Trevon since he was a freshman in high school, and he's been a terrific player at every step of the way, whether it's high school, whether it was AAU, whether he first stepped on the campus," Mack said. "I think his game just continues to evolve. His confidence is at an all-time high.
"The way he played in the second half (against Maryland) was special. I've known it for a while. Like most players, they continue to get better, and Trevon is no different in that regard."
Already down a pair of players, one to injury and another to a mid-season departure, the Musketeers were limited to an eight-man rotation, but Bluiett and reserve forward Sean O'Mara combined to score 39 points as Xavier, the No. 11 seed in the West Region, knocked off the Maryland Terrapins (24-9), 76-65, at Amway Arena in Orlando Thursday night.
"When I was a freshman and we both came in, I couldn't guard him at all," junior guard J.P. Macura said. "Coach Mack got frustrated with me because he would beat me baseline every time. I've done a little bit better job now. I can keep him in front of me a little bit, but he's a great player."
Tyrique Jones added, "It started off, I think, a couple of practices in. I got switched on to Tre. He hit me with a crossover. I spun around, and he made the shot. I was like, 'Damn, he's really good.'"
At one point in mid-January, it seemed as though Xavier was lost on the court and would play its way out of NCAA Tournament contention.
But after losses to conference foes in Villanova, Butler and Creighton, whom held Nos. 1, 4 and 6 seeds in other brackets of the NCAA Tournament, the Musketeers righted the ship and won five of their next six outings.
A six-game losing streak sent Xavier into the Big East Tournament reeling, but the Musketeers rebounded with a double-digit win over DePaul, and then, knocked off the No. 2 seed in the tournament, Butler, before dropping a three-point decision to Creighton.
Despite all of the adversity, the Musketeers rose above it and cruised to a 91-66 win over third-seeded Florida State to advance to their sixth Sweet 16 appearance in the last 12 years.
"Just growing up, my dad has always kind of instilled confidence in me," Bluiett said. "Pretty much ever since I started playing competitively, I've always thought I could play with the best of them. It's just all about going out and believing in yourself, having confidence in yourself, and not being scared to show your abilities."

Power Max Revolution Overview
As a man ages, their performance levels slow down. This is the reason why you find most young athletes doing way better than their older counterparts.
The reason behind this performance is a dip in the level of testosterone that is produced by the body. It is for this reason that men who desire to continue performing to the best of their ability need to make use of male enhancement products that can help boost overall body functionality.

The manufacturer also claims that this product makes use of all natural ingredients to achieve the said boost in the body.
What are the Ingredients in Power Max Revolution?
The main ingredients that make up this product include:
- Panax Ginseng – This is a plant extract that is ancient to China where it has been used over the years in Traditional Chinese Medicine to give users a boost in overall sexual function.

With countless male enhancement supplements available on the market today it seems impossible to find "the right one."

Male enhancement supplements should be based on four key factors: active ingredients, ability to support sexual stamina, enhance arousal, improved* sexual desire and backed by clinical studies.
Below you'll find some of the most effective male enhancement supplements on the market today, in our opinion.

Dick Skutt is a walking, talking advertisement for health and fitness. The 86-year-old Warm Hearth Village resident is the only Virginian to place in the racquetball competition in the National Senior Games that took place in Birmingham, Alabama on June 10th.
Over 10,000 athletes from across the country, ranging in age from 60 to 94 years young, competed in a variety of sports at the 2017 National Senior Games. Events included basketball, Pickleball, swimming and track and field.
Skutt competed in the local senior games held in Blacksburg, then traveled to Newport News to compete in the state competition before going on to the National Senior Games. The racquetball athlete said that he seeks to inspire others--including those much younger than he--to become active and healthy.

If you thought that cellulite is the worst thing that can happen to you as a woman, you are wrong.
Another aesthetic nightmare worried women around the world. Yes, these are the stretch marks.
Another aesthetic nightmare worried women around the world. Yes, these are the stretch marks.
What are stretch marks and why they appear?
Stretch marks are white, long lines, which arising from the stretching of the skin in certain parts of the body, and these are usually - buttocks, thighs, stomach, breasts and upper arms.
Why stretch marks come up?
Most often, the appearance of stretch marks related to the period of pregnancy when the skin is naturally stretching due to the growth of the stomach, although it is not the only cause for the occurrence of stretch marks.
The appearance of stretch marks can occur in girls during puberty due to the increased growth, changes in body weight, or a hormonal imbalance.
Stress, inadequate nutrition, reduced water intake, diets, poor physical activity are also prerequisites for the development of stretch marks and cellulite. Insufficient intake of water during the day, leads to dehydration and decreased metabolism, which leads to fluid and toxins retention in the subcutaneous tissue and appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.
Is it possible to prevent the appearance of stretch marks?
It is possible to prevent the appearance of stretch marks with adequate nutrition, physical activity and body skin care. When the stretch marks appear and are visible on the skin, it is not a sign of despair, but it is necessary to react in order to prevent their spreading.
It is impossible to remove stretch marks permanently, but they can be clearly reduced or be less conspicuous.
Are there any natural ways to treat stretch marks?
Skin is the largest human organ and is subject to aging, with side effects such as stretch, loss of elasticity, dehydration and the like. Skin in itself contains all the necessary materials that are necessary to maintain the suppleness and firmness. Therefore it is necessary that in certain ages of life, usually after twenty, start with the skin care treatment in order to prevent stretch marks and cellulite.
To replace the necessary components that skin normally contains, we need to bring them naturally from plant sources.
1. Olive, almond and castor oil
These three valuable vegetable oils are rich in all the essential fatty acids, vitamin A and E, which in synergy with other nutrients feed the skin and give it elasticity.
It is sufficient to massage the critical places with stretch marks by a few drops of these oils, and wrap in a towel. Allow the oil to operate as long as possible, so it is best to sleep and in the morning to take a shower.
2. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is known for its healing effect on all organic systems, but also has the beneficial effect on the skin. It possesses soothing properties and prevents inflammation and the appearance of various skin damages.
You can apply Aloe Vera to critical places with slight massaging, or to combined it with a mixture of oil which contains vitamin A and E and rub into the skin with stretch marks. This treatment is administered daily, once a day.
3. Egg whites
Egg whites are a good source of protein and amino acids, which tightens the skin and do not allow it to expand.
It is necessary to whisk two egg whites and apply the foam to the critical places with stretch marks. Leave foam of egg whites to stand as much as possible, then take a shower and wash the residue from the skin. After showering, rub a mild layer of olive oil on the skin. Repeat the treatment twice a week in order to see results.
4. Juice of potato
As a natural remedy to combat stretch marks, potato juice certainly helps. It contains enough vitamins and minerals that skin needed.
• Cut the potatoes in medium-sized thick slices.
• Take one of the pieces of potato and rub gently over the skin with stretch mark for a few minutes. Make sure the potato starch covering the affected area.
• Allow the potato juice works for a while, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
5. Essential oils
In the fight against stretch marks, you can take advantage of some essential oils: oil of rosemary, lavender, jojoba, wheat germ and apricot. As with all essential oil intended for massage, they need to pre-diluted with some of the base oil (olive, almond, sesame oil) and then apply on the skin.

Saint-Malo (France)
Cruise Port schedule, live map, terminals, news

3.3 m/s
Saint-Malo is a port city in Brittany (northwestern France) located on the English Channel. The town has population around 45,000 (metro around 153,000) and covers a total area of approx 37 km2 (14 ml2). During the summer tourist season, the city's population increases up to 200,000.
The city is served by a dedicated ferry terminal operated with regularly scheduled services by BRITTANY FERRIES connecting St Malo with Portsmouth (England UK). On most days there are also ferries to Weymouth and Poole (England) through Channel Islands (scheduled service by CONDOR FERRIES).
Gare de Saint-Malo is the city's main railway station, offering direct TGV (high-speed rail service) to Paris, Rennes and a few regional destinations. There is also bus service provided by Keolis. The city is served by Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo Airport - located approx 5 km (3 ml) to the south.
Saint Malo is the most visited destination in Brittany. Sites of interest include: La Ville Intra-Muros (The walled city); The chateau of Saint-Malo (including the town museum); The Solidor Tower in Saint-Servan; The tomb of the writer Chateaubriand; The Petit Be; Saint-Malo Cathedral (The Cathedral of St. Vincent); La Demeure de Corsaire (The Privateer's House); The Great Aquarium Saint-Malo; The Pointe de la Varde, Natural Park; The labyrinthe du Corsaire (attraction park); The City of Alet; Fort de la Conchee; Fort National.
Saint-Malo cruise terminal
In early-October 2018 was proposed a project for Saint-Malo's ferry (cruise) port modernization, with budget EUR 75 million. The plan is port's existing facilities to be upgraded into modern terminals with capacity to handle the increasing passenger (ferry and cruise ship) traffic. The project also includes building of new customs facilities.
The current aging ferry terminal facilities (inaugurated in 1978) will soon be unable to handle the newer and larger vessels deployed on regularly scheduled cross-channel routes. The small-sized facilities will soon force ferry companies and cruise lines with large-sized vessels to reduce their calls by 1/4.
If approved, construction works could start in 2021, with scheduled completion by 2024.
Port Saint-Malo cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Saint-Malo, France. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

text: Advertisement Hello! I'm worried about one of my hissers. While I was trying to put him back in his tank, he freaked out and jumped from my hand. He landed on the table the tank was on, but then twisted, falling again to hang onto my pants and then falling about a foot onto the carpet. He seems fine with no external damage (other than general stillness), but I'm worried. I read on Quora that hissers don't take falls too well, the claim being that a mere three foot fall can damage their insides and kill them, especially for larger roaches. However, Maxson (the roach) only technically fell a couple of feet and ended up on soft carpet. What do you guys think? Is he going to be okay?

Supporting her through an abortion
It is important to recognise that most people find medical procedures stressful and that abortions are no different. Expect that she might feel a little nervous about having an abortion. While some women may find it straightforward others may feel uncomfortable or scared and could benefit from support and reassurance, particularly if you're her partner, boyfriend or husband.
On the day of the abortion
On the day of an abortion many women appreciate receiving support from partners, parents, or friends. You can show your support by offering to drive her to the clinic, offering to help with expenses, offering to pick her up from the clinic, and helping out with childcare or other domestic tasks while she is recovering following her procedure.
The procedure that occurs on the day can vary from clinic to clinic but most often partners, parents, and support people are not allowed to accompany the woman past the administrative stage. Please understand that this is not for the purpose of excluding you from the process. Clinics are health facilities and making sure that procedural rooms are reserved for patients and staff only is one of the ways they protect the physical and emotional health of their patients.
Support people are encouraged to provide transport and can arrange to be contacted when the woman is ready to be discharged. Clinics have a duty to ensure that a support person is there to take a woman home and stay with her rather than her leaving the clinic and going home alone.
After the abortion: medical aspects
Following the abortion she may experience some cramping similar to period pain. This is quite normal provided the pain is not severe. She may also begin to bleed as her body sheds the lining of the uterus. A doctor should be consulted immediately if she experiences abnormal discharge and/or fever or severe pain. This could be an indication that an infection is developing. The clinic will provide her with instructions to follow to prevent an infection. These include: no sex, not using tampons, not swimming, and not bathing (having showers instead) for two weeks following the procedure. The clinic will also advise a post-operative check-up with her doctor.
If she has had a surgical abortion she may be feeling a little "hungover" from the anaesthetic. This may mean that she feels tired or a little nauseous. She will probably want to take things easy for the rest of the day after her abortion. Most women return to their regular activities the following day but she is advised to take things at a pace comfortable for her.
After the abortion: emotional aspects
Below is a list of things you could try to show your support for your partner, friend, or daughter after she has had a termination. Do things that feel comfortable for you and be sure that you are also receiving support for yourself (possibly from other friends, family or counsellors).
Let her know that you care about her and want to be there for her.
Allow her to talk about the experience as many times as she needs to.
Check in with her about who she would feel comfortable you talking to for your own support.
Acknowledge any negative feelings she is having (e.g. "I can see you feel angry about this") instead of trying to brush them aside.
If you're feeling concerned about her future contraceptive behaviour bring the subject up carefully. Do not respond in a judgmental or critical manner, this is not an appropriate time for a lecture. Responding in this manner will most likely distress her and will not be assisting her in any way.
If you're her parent and feel you would like to keep her away from her boyfriend consider the fact that women find the support of a caring male partner extremely helpful during and after an abortion. Taking a significant support person away from her could cause enormous distress.
Listen to how she is feeling and find out what she wants from you rather than giving lots of advice.
Do not suggest that you know how she feels as you probably don't.
Although you probably want her to get on with her life don't expect her to ignore the experience and forget all about it. Allow her to go through any processes that she needs to in order to move on from this experience.
If you're her partner and are not doing so already you should consider ways in which you can take your share of responsibility for contraception. By doing this you are showing that you do not want to take chances with her body or her well-being.
If she is experiencing negative feelings that she finds unmanageable encourage her to see a good counsellor. Post-abortion counselling may help by reminding her that she made the best decision she could in a difficult situation and that she has done well in making such a hard decision. Children by Choice provide post-abortion counselling and referrals to appropriate counsellors.
If you are listening to her in a non-judgmental and caring way and you're there for her to talk to when she needs to, then the support and love you provide will be invaluable to her during this experience.

Friday Reads: Corruption Junction what's Your Function?Posted: February 23, 2018 Filed under: just because, morning reads | Tags: Donald Jr staggeringly corrupt, Trump corrupt administration, Trump Corruption 22 Comments
Good Morning Sky Dancers!
I woke up to the news that a university where where I taught a few years while finishing up my doctorate experienced some shooting near its dorms. Thankfully, I'm on an on line campus of Purdue University where I mostly endure Dinah trying to eat my lunch and Temple trying to snooker me into a walk. I always kid them that they should be glad I get harassment training annually so the work place is safe for them. I think it's okay to grab the pussies here since it's a totally different behavior. Cats just adore being in the way and my keyboard is not exempt.
Through this administration and the election we've discovered there is no level of criminal enterprise too low for the TRump family crime syndicate. Mojo had a short exposition of some of them last summer. Ethics violations are low level for this crowd.
Trump's own actions—and those of his family and close associates—suggest a president seeking to monetize his office. He spends nearly every weekend at a Trump-branded property such as Mar-a-Lago, which briefly had its own promotional page on the State Department website. Diplomats and industry leaders flock to his Washington hotel in hopes of winning his favor. On the day that Ivanka Trump and her father met with the Chinese president, China approved three of her company's copyright requests. Kushner's family firm has touted its ability to grab visas for wealthy Chinese investors. "The stars have all aligned," Eric Trump recently said. "I think our brand is the hottest it has ever been."t
To make matters worse, Trump and the Republican Congress have started rolling back the Obama administration's efforts to combat corruption. In February, Trump signed the repeal of a key provision in the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law that had required US oil and gas companies to disclose their payments to foreign governments. This doesn't look so good when your secretary of state was the CEO of Exxon Mobil. The Department of the Interior has been backing away from the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, which also publicizes payments to governments by energy companies. The Trump administration has yet to say whether it will remain in the Open Government Partnership; if it leaves, the United States will join abstainers such as Russia and Angola.
And there are indications that Trump may try to weaken the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the crown jewel of anti-corruption laws. Even before he ran for president, Trump expressed hostility to the FCPA, which prohibits US companies from bribing foreign officials, saying it puts American businesses at a "huge disadvantage" and that it's a "horrible law and it should be changed." Part of this animosity may stem from his own experiences trying to take his brand global. A recent New Yorker investigation found that the Trump Organization may have violated the FCPA as part of a failed development deal in Azerbaijan, widely considered one of the world's most corrupt countries. (A company lawyer dismissed this claim.)
It's difficult to focus on any one aspect of any of this or the other variety of charges because it's like juggling hot sticky tarballs while some one throws a few more at you every few minutes. It's way too much for any one newsroom to keep track of let alone investigate completely. We're getting some more information from the few of them dedicated to this today. This one is from The Intelligencer and Jonathan Chait at NYMag. Self dealing is a feature in their admnistration. "The Trump Administration Is a Golden Age for Corporate Crooks" pretty much sums it up.
The Republican Party's main legislative achievement was to facilitate the direct transfer of hundreds of billions of dollars into the hands of business owners. (The proceeds of the Trump tax cuts are mainly going into stock buybacks, a simple windfall for owners of capital.) But a second, less visible channel is the Trump administration's program of lax regulation. While the tax cuts spray money at business owners as a whole, weak enforcement of regulations confers a windfall targeted specifically at businesses that cheat their customers or break the law.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has brought dramatically fewer cases and lower penalties under Trump. From last February through September, the agency brought 15 cases and collected $127 million in civil penalties, in comparison with 43 cases and $702 million in penalties during a comparable period in 2016. Likewise, the Environmental Protection Agency is collecting far less in penalties from polluters than it did under any of the previous three administrations:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to fill in a bare spot in the federal regulatory design: financial products, which are inherently complex and in need of regulation, had been marketed to largely unwitting customers with a minimal amount of oversight, resulting in endemic fraud. Mick Mulvaney, Trump's director of the CFPB, has called the agency itself a "sick, sad joke." Just how his vision would translate into practice has already become apparent.
Chris Arnold reports for NPR that Mulvaney forced the agency to drop a lawsuit against alleged loan-shark outfit Golden Valley Lending. Arnold found a Golden Valley victim named Julie Bonenfant, from Detroit, who needed money after a breakup and having her car stolen led to falling behind on rent. Over the course of a year, Bonenfant paid $3,735 to Golden Valley for a $900 loan. "A key backer of Golden Valley was recently convicted of racketeering charges in a case involving another online lender, according to court documents," reports Arnold.
Zach Everson–writing for the Daily Beast–uncovers Trump's pre-inaguration shenningan's surrounding his hotel in Downtown Washington DC. Trump has a reputation for doing Dine and Dashes on jobbers.
In the days around Donald Trump's inauguration, the hotel bearing his namein downtown Washington, D.C., quietly settled two liens totaling more than $3 million for allegedly unpaid construction work. In one case, a contractor reached an agreement after receiving a phone call from someone his attorney identified as "Trump."
The liens had both been previously reported. But their settlements had not. And the fact that they were handled right around the time when Trump took office—perhaps even at the behest of the then-president-elect himself—underscores just how politically sensitive the management of the Trump International Hotel was and is to the current White House occupant.
The largest payment was made to Joseph J. Magnolia, Inc. The family-owned D.C.-based company had filed a lien for $2.98 million on Dec. 21, 2016, for "the unpaid balance for work done" on the hotel, dating from that day back through Sept. 9, 2014, according to court filings. Joseph J. Magnolia, Inc. had done "plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC work, along with the site sewer, water, storm, and water services" per the notice. It also provided the labor and materials required to complete that work.
The company had been featured in a Washington Post article about various liens against Trump's hotel in D.C. that continues to garner a ton of social media notice. In a previous Post article, John D. Magnolia, the company's president, noted that he had voted for Trump and felt the Trumps had been "decent people" to work with. But, he added, "Mr. Trump and Ivanka [Trump, who oversaw the hotel project] and so forth, they are I guess preoccupied by other matters now."
Shortly after that interview, in which he noted that he had supported Trump, Magnolia's company was finally paid. And it might have been at the behest of the soon-to-be-president himself.
Is that an odd situation or is it just me? Say nice things and you get paid? Vote for him and you get paid?
Eric Levitzer–from NYMag also writing for The Intelligencer-– asserts: "Trump Is No Longer Bothering to Conceal His Corruption."
"The company and policy and government are completely separated," Eric Trump assured the Washington Post last year. "We have built an unbelievable wall in between the two."
The key word there was "unbelievable." The president has never been willing to expend much effort on maintaining such a facade. In the first weeks after his election, Trump invited Eric and Don Jr. to a policy meeting with tech executives, met with his Indian business partners, and allowed his D.C. hotel to begin courting the patronage of foreign diplomats. In the first year after his inauguration, he mixed politics and business in ever more blatant ways.
But Don Jr.'s trip to India represents a kind of "coming-out party" for the Trumpist kleptocracy: According the the Washington Post, the manager of the president's "blind trust" will travel to Mumbai this week to promote his family's real-estate projects, sell access to himself for $38,000 a head, and give a foreign policy speech (ostensibly) on behalf of his father's administration at a global business summit ..
Beginning Tuesday, Trump Jr. will have a full schedule of meet-and-greets with investors and business leaders throughout India, where the Trump family has real estate projects — Mumbai, the New Delhi suburb of Gurgaon, the western city of Pune and the eastern city of Kolkata.
Indian newspapers have been running full-page, glossy advertisements hyping his arrival and the latest Trump Tower project under the headline: "Trump is here — Are You Invited?" The ads also solicited home buyers to plunk down a booking fee (about $38,000) to "join Mr. Donald Trump Jr. for a conversation and dinner." Public relations executives working with two local developers arranging the Trump dinner declined to give specifics about the event.
During the visit, the 40-year-old Trump Jr., executive vice president of the Trump Organization, will take a break from his private promotional tour to give an address on "Reshaping Indo-Pacific Ties: The New Era of Cooperation" at a global business summit on Friday evening, co-sponsored by the Economic Times newspaper. [Indian Prime Minister Narendra] Modi will also speak at the summit … Later this week, Trump Jr. will travel to Mumbai to open the demo unit at the golden-facade Trump Tower being built by the family development firm of Mangal Prabhat Lodha, a state legislator in Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party.
To review: Donald Trump Jr. will be serving as a representative of both his father's business and government during this week's trip to India, and will be selling access to himself (and thus, ostensibly, to his father's government) for roughly $40,000 a pop.
Michelle Goldberg–NYT–argues for and elucidates a "De-Trumpification Agenda" to clear out the obvious levels of corruption.
In January, the anti-corruption organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, released a detailed report on the historically unethical presidency of Donald Trump. By February, it was outdated, as Trump's administration and family charted new frontiers in ethical transgression.
Just this week, Donald Trump Jr. traveled to India to promote his family's real estate projects and give a foreign policy speech; ads in Indian newspapers offered dinner with the presidential scion in exchange for down payments on Trump-branded apartments. President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is reportedly demanding that he maintain his access to top-secret information despite his inability, after 13 months of serving in the White House, to pass an F.B.I. background check.
David Shulkin, the secretary of veterans affairs, remained defiant after revelations that his chief of staff altered a document to justify a government-funded trip to Europe for Shulkin's wife, vowing to purge "subversion" at his agency. President Trump reportedly sought advice on gun control from members of Mar-a-Lago, the private club where a $200,000 initiation fee buys plutocrats privileged access to the president.
It's impossible, in real time, to keep up with every new Trumpian advance in corruption and self-dealing, and Republicans in Congress aren't even trying. True, they've been moved to act in a few high-profile cases — on Wednesday, Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, demanded documents about government-funded luxury travel by Scott Pruitt, head of the Environmental Protection Agency. But overall, the administration enjoys a corrosive degree of impunity.
It's really amazing we're not seeing more FBI action on these other Trump Players but white collar crimes do not get the level of scrutiny of those accompanied by drugs and violence and minorities. It's another bastion of White Male Privilege. But, some argue that Public Corruption Laws may be the ones that finally get the TRumpsters and TRump himself. This is from Margaret Carlson writing at the Daily Beast.
Of course, there's no law against Trump liking Putin; unseemly yes, illegal, no. But a veteran Washington former federal prosecutor who served during both the Clinton and Bush administrations believes there is a strategy that Mueller is quietly pursuing and that explains his actions so far.
Seth Waxman, now a partner specializing in white-collar crime in Dickinson Wright's Washington office, has a theory of Mueller's case, which requires no novel reading of existing law to find Trump broke it. It employs the main weapon any federal prosecutor uses to police public corruption. It is Title 18 United States Code, section 201 that specifically makes it a crime for a public official to take "anything of value," a bribe, in exchange for government action, which can be prospective.
Note that above I wrote "public official." That's because the law is generally wielded against public officials. Problem: Mueller is investigating conduct before Trump became one. Enter Waxman. He points out that in 1962, Congress extended the bribery law to cover activity prior to the assumption of office. It did so, he says, in order to close a "loophole" afforded those "who assume public office under a corrupt commitment." The upshot? Trump became covered by 18 USC not when he was sworn in but as of July 21, 2016 when he became his party's nominee in Cleveland, Ohio.
What we know of Mueller's strategy so far is consistent with leveling charges under the bribery statute. This is not to say Mueller is going to indict Trump. He would need an exception from a Justice Department rule, which advises against it. But neither is he likely to send a report laying out grounds for impeachment as former independent counsel Ken Starr did against Bill Clinton relying solely on perjury and obstruction of justice without a finding of an underlying crime.
Again, it's difficult to see T Jr. pull this one off without some kind of reaction. Zeeshan Aleem–writing for Vox–calls it "staggeringly corrupt."
Donald Trump Jr. arrived in India on Tuesday for a week-long visit, and his trip has already revealed a couple of things.
First, it's clear that the Trump administration is still embroiled in huge conflicts of interest. And second, it's evident that the Trump brand, though toxic at home, commands surprising power in the world's second most populous country.
President Trump's eldest son will be spending his time in India promoting Trump-branded luxury apartments across the country. He'll be meeting with real estate brokers and potential buyers throughout the week in his family business's biggest market outside the US.
He's also offering a special reward to Indians who buy property from him: He'll join them for an intimate meal.
Indian newspapers have been running advertisements that promise homebuyers willing to pay a roughly $38,000 booking fee an opportunity to "join Mr. Donald Trump Jr. for a conversation and dinner."
Government ethics experts in the US are appalled by that prospect, and say that the arrangement encourages Indians — especially those with ties to India's government — to use purchases of Trump-branded property as a way to gain favor with the Trump administration.
"For many people wanting to impact American policy in the region, the cost of a condo is a small price to pay to lobby one of the people closest to the president, far away from watchful eyes," Jordan Libowitz, the communications director for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told the Washington Post.
Trump Jr.'s India visit also highlights something else: While Trump's polarizing presidency has put a dent in his domestic businesses, it doesn't seem to have damaged his reputation in India. In fact, the Trump brand seems to be chugging along quite nicely there.
Trump's business elsewhere is not thriving. Read more at that link. Let's not forget he's bilking us daily and with every trip to a Trump property. Hey Mister Mueller nab those big fat pussies!

How to Make Your Business More Profitable
If you want to make your business truly profitable, there is no other way but to have a good strategy for it. If you are someone who is in business and have not as yet made it something lucrative, then you ought to have good business strategy to make your small business profitable.
Here are some easy ways to help your business become more profitable. Many owners commit pitfalls that are detrimental to the business but if you can avoid this at all costs then you will start making your business more profitable in a shorter amount of time.
Be smart when hiring people. Remember that hiring a lot of employees can possibly eat up a lot of the profit coming into your business since you need to pay all of them. You should choose the number of employees according to the different needs of your business. It is very important that you hire staff so that your customers can be taken well care of but if possible keep your employees at a minimum. However you should not also go to the other extreme of understaffing your business to the point that many customers would not have a satisfactory time in your business.
Make sure that time is not being wasted in your business. Remember that time is money is business. The time that employees have should be used in important tasks to be done and this is what the business owner pays, and it is wrong to be paying them just based on hours that they have stayed in the business premises. If you need to meet with your employees, you can save time by simply sending them emails on what you want to convey to them so that time will be freed for your employees to get more work done.
A business owner needs to understand how much he is spending to produce the items that he is selling. How much you pay for producing a shirt should be determined. Knowing the costs of producing your product from start to finish will help you keep track of your profit margins since there is a clear separation of costs and profits.
If you want your customers to be happy, then you will have to keep your employees happy also. Their idea of success should be pointed in the right direction so that they, too, will work hard to attain it. A good performing employee should be rewarded. If you want to praise your employees do it in everybody's hearing, but if you want to criticize, do it personally, in private. Loyal employees are those that are happy with their work. This will save you money in the long run on hiring and training costs. Retention rates should be an important focus of your business.
You can increase your business profits if you pay attention and be accountable for it. Follow these steps and see the results.

Cipherella is a talented emcee, songwriter, and musician who is skilled in the art of storytelling. Born and raised in Tuscaloosa, AL, Cipherella sought refuge in New York City in 2013- two years after she and her mother lost everything in a tornado- to further her musical career and solidify herself as a artist contender. Since her arrival in the big apple, Cipherella has been featured on Sway in the Morning, twice, she has performed at Brooklyn Academy of Music, served as the host for New York's longest running monthly open mic at the infamous NuYoricans Poets café; she has been a contributing writer for M-Pire Magazine, she is currently a reappearing guest judge for Supreme Bars: The Ultimate Emcee and Producer Battle, and a teaching artist with BEAT Global.
Cipherella's lyrical prowess was left uncontested after her critically acclaimed visual release of "Moments" was internationally recognized; winning twelve video awards and numerous acceptances into film festivals. Comparable to Queen Latifah and Bahamdia, Cipherella is fully vocal when it comes to expressing frustrations and agitations through her dominant, cultured, and quite often-rebellious lyrics. Far different from what one would expect especially in today's mainstream society that has encapsulated the feminine aspect of Hip-Hop into a mere "body over bars" motif, Cipherella is one to travel against the stream while still delivering music we all relate to.
Influenced by Tupac Shakur, Outkast, Joi Gilliam, and Erykah Badu, those who have followed Cipherella's career can agree that she is cut from the same cloth and that their influences are the DNA strands embedded in her unique and ever-evolving style. In a recent premiere of her single release "Dumb Dumb", Afropunk deemed Cipherella "A Hip Hop Priestess in the making" and stated that they could not be more for the message she was relaying. Bitch Media cited Cipherella as "A breath of fresh air" which is exactly what is needed in today's climate. "Dumb Dumb'' served as the lead single to Cipherella's first studio album, 22:11 Prelude; scheduled to be re-released this year.


text: The Arizona Cardinals' surprising success story came one year too late.If the Cardinals had pulled off their Super Bowl run last year, they would have become the first team to play the Super Bowl on their home field.Now they're going to play what amounts to a road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Any time the Steelers play in a Super Bowl in the Eastern time zone against a West Coast team with little tradition, the game might as well be played at Heinz Field.That's what happened three years ago when the Steelers played Seattle at Ford Field in Detroit. There were only pockets of Seattle fans mixed in with the legions of Steelers fans wearing their Terrible Towels.Look for the same thing to happen next Sunday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.Although Tampa's not as convenient a drive from Pittsburgh as Detroit, the Steelers fans will have no trouble making the trek.And the high-rollers in Pittsburgh missed the memo about the recession. Less than 24 hours after the Steelers won the AFC title game, one firm had sold 50 three-day Super Bowl packages at $4,895 a person."This probably parallels the type of response we had in previous years, which is a pleasant surprise given the economic circumstances," Jim Lehman, a vice president of the firm, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.The operator of a store had fans lining up to buy Steelers stuff when his doors opened last week."The recession is over," he joked.And the recession has accomplished one thing. Super Bowl ticket prices have dropped, making it easier for Steelers fans to scoop them up.According to Reuters, the price of tickets from brokers is down from 15 to 40 percent this year.Meanwhile in Phoenix, Super Bowl fever is at a low grade and their fans don't figure to flock to Tampa. A Post-Gazette reporter spent three days in Arizona and found one fan wearing an Anquan Boldin No. 81 jersey.The Cardinals even needed an extension to sell out their first-round playoff game."This is all new to us and [has] caught the city off guard," said one Cardinals fan.The Cardinals are playing in their first Super Bowl and their first title game since 1947, when they were located in Chicago. The Steelers are playing in their seventh Super Bowl since 1974 and are trying to become the first team to win six of them.As usual, defense winsThere's an old saying that defense wins championships, and coldhardfootballfacts.com is using numbers to prove it.It has come up with what it calls the Defensive Hog Index. It combines three defensive statistics - yards per attempt, negative pass plays and third-down efficiency.The team with the better number is 19-2 in the playoffs the last two years.Pittsburgh is No. 1 this season and the Cardinals are No. 17, which doesn't seem to bode well for the Cardinals.But they knocked off the Eagles, who are No. 2, last week, when Kurt Warner beat their defense with a fourth-quarter drive.This shows that a team needs a quarterback to go with its defense. The Steelers traditionally play good defense, but went to only one Super Bowl from 1979 to 2005 because they had quarterbacks like Neil O'Donnell, whose two interceptions into the arms of Larry Brown were the major factor in the Steelers' only Super Bowl loss in 1995 to Dallas.Now that they have their first franchise quarterback since Terry Bradshaw in Ben Roethlisberger, they're on the cusp of their second Super Bowl victory in the last four years.Not business at usualTony Dungy has retired as the Colts' coach and he has time to enjoy new experiences.He sat 40 rows from the spot at the U.S. Capitol where President Obama was inaugurated on Tuesday and had trouble describing his emotions."I ... just don't know how to describe it," he told the Chicago Tribune.Meanwhile, back in Indianapolis, it's obvious that new coach Jim Caldwell isn't going to do things the same way Dungy did - even though he was on Dungy's staff and was guaranteed the job when Dungy retired.Caldwell dismissed two of the Colts' coordinators, defensive coordinator Ron Meeks, a Jacksonville native, and special-teams coach Russ Purnell, who was hired Saturday by the Jaguars.By contrast, Dungy fired only one coach in his 12 years as a head coach in Tampa and Indianapolis. And he fired Mike Shula as his offensive coordinator in Tampa after the 1999 season because he was ordered to by the team owners, the Glazer family. Dungy said he later regretted it and said he should have quit instead.Collins threatens retirementKerry Collins has come up with an interesting strategy in his bid to keep Tennessee's starting job over Vince Young.He told the Nashville Tennessean he'll retire if the Titans don't name him the starter or he can't find a starting job with another team.Coach Jeff Fisher apparently believes him, but hasn't named a starter yet for next year."We have a lot of time and we'll work things out," he said.About Collins, he said, "He starts, and hopefully that is for us, or he is on his tractor on his farm."Alabama writers get chanceShula was fired as the Alabama coach two years ago and has kept a low profile as the Jaguars' quarterback coach.But when the Jaguars' staff coached the Senior Bowl in Mobile last week, the Alabama writers received their first chance to interview him about his Alabama experience."It's tough," Shula said of his firing according to the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News. "It's definitely difficult. It's disappointing. You move on. There's no easy way to get fired or fire somebody. We've moved on. I don't think about those things."Shula said he's concentrating on his Jaguars job and said, "I've got to do a better job as a quarterback coach than I did last year. That's what I think about."Golf tournament benefits Collier's foundationThe United States Black Golfers Association will host the first Richard Collier Celebrity Golf Classic on Wednesday in Tampa during Super Bowl week. The event will benefit the Richard Collier Foundation.The Collier Foundation will benefit players who are injured and can no longer play. Collier, a former Jaguars lineman, was shot 14 times and was paralyzed last September.Quotable"I'm not sure you ever do, but I'm not in a state of depression anymore."- Carolina coach John Fox, on whether he's over the Panthers' playoff loss to Arizona.This story includes information from interviews, other beat writers, Web sites and news service email@example.com,(904) 359-4279

The Only Bag You Need This Summer Is The Maddalena Mini From Armadio
With the Royal wedding taking place one week ago today (OMG-did you get up early and watch? We sure did!! ) there has been so much press with Lady Diana and I stumbled on this photo of her on Pinterest. I had been looking for a summer bag and knew I wanted something with a bamboo handle but with a crossbody option as I looove the crossbody and I wanted to pay a reasonable price.
So from an early age I was obsessed with handbags.....
I remember once counting my collection of designer bags and having enough for a different one each day. Living in Dallas will do that to you as you are always trying to keep up with the Joneses so-to-speak. Looking back, some of the bags I chose were questionable- but at the time, they were the must have and the I-need-right-now bags of the moment. From Juicy Couture (oh yeah, remember when that was all the rage?) to Louis Vuitton and Gucci to Mulberry, for young Sam it had to be designer - and seemingly, as it turns out, be completely non-timeless and not worth much resale value what-so-ever.
Then I moved to Oklahoma and the love for designer faded somewhat. Perhaps it was because I couldn't possibly justify spending more than a month's rent on essentially pieces of leather. I sold most my handbags on Poshmark and Ebay and made a tiny bit of money along the way, only really keeping a handful of bags that I use from time to time.
So now I needed to find my new Summer bag and that's when I began researching and came across Armadio. They are a New York based online store offering certified, unique Italian products. In an era of mass production they believe in people and their ideas. Their mission is to find the excellence of contemporary Italian manufacturing and share it with the world. They travel to Italy to search the best it has to offer. They look for talented people who are still undiscovered. They meet them and connect with them and bring their products directly to their customers by cutting all necessary costs. Lucky me, lucky you!
Founded by three entrepreneurs from Tuscany, Matteo Mattia Gemignani, Matteo Gamberale and Pierluca Martella, Armadio partners with local manufacturers cutting out the middlemen and retail mark-up to bring their products to the international market at up to 70% less than their actual retail price.
I reached out to Armadio for a partnership with Go French Yourself and was so delighted when they chose me to be one of the faces of Armadio for their Spring Summer campaign. I was invited to pick a bag from their recent collection!
I went back on their website and was amazed by what I saw - I'm telling you, check out their website NOW. I picked out at least ten bags I wanted but managed finally, to narrow it down to this beautiful Plinio Visoná beauty.
(Along the banks of Riviera del Brenta, famous for its leather sought by Louis Vuitton and Bottega Veneta, master artisan Plinio Visonà has crafted his interpretations of the woman's bag since 1959. With master craftsmen overseeing the entire production cycle, each Plinio Visonà piece is handcrafted on-site in the company's artisan workshop in Vicenza. Every detail—every button, stitch, fold, and fabric—is measured against the highest quality standards. The handbags are living testaments to the creativity and expertise of the traditions of the Italian artisan. Now, sons Mara and Davide carry on the family tradition by sharing the identity and core values of Italian craftsmanship.)
The bamboo handles, of corse sold me instantly! And I love the size. It's a fabulous purse that be a cross-body bag or a shoulder bag and it has plenty of space. But I also love that you can slip it on your arm making a high fashion statement so the versatility is a huge bonus. The leather is so luxe and it features a silk-cotton lining. I was drooling over all the gorgeous colors this bag comes in- don't believe me?
Take a peak for yourself! (I might need the yellow one too AND the white
It was a tough choice but I narrowed it down to the blush pink. It reminds me of a salmon and I can visualize myself wearing this with anything in my closet all year round actually. It will be stunning with my winter whites and grays and it's the perfect pop of color for Summer!
As soon as this bag arrived I was in complete awe of it! I was so ready to show it off to the world. . This I did of course almost immediately and the number of compliments the bag has received to date has far outreached any that any well known designer ever has.
I am in love with it! It's practical, smart, spacious and just beautiful. And as a busy young professional, I wear many hats! But my Maddalena Mini can go from the office, to the gym, to dinner with friends, home to my loves and back again.
And at $329, it's the perfect price point and I am so happy I did not have to spend thousands.
The gorgeous Maddalena Mini is available to pre-order now and will start shipping June 28th so get your orders in! The artisan has even agreed to a 20% off discount for pre-orders right now!
You will be seeing mine attached to my hip all year long!
Cheers to pretty things and unnecessary markups!
I cannot wait to see how you style your #MyArmadio. Tag me in your pics.
Thank you Armadio and thank you my loyal readers! Thank you for supporting the sponsors that keep me creating and allowing you to show off these fabulous brands.

ON AIR - U105 Weekend Jukebox
with Linda Cullen
A cat has been shot with a pellet gun near Tullymore Road in Derry.
The animal was found by its distraught elderly owner near Tullymore Road yesterday afternoon.
The cat, named 'Lucky', is now with a vet who has removed 25 pellets from her body.
PSNI Officers in Foyle have described whoever carried out the attack as a "despicable excuse of a human being".
