Madonna Sued Over Hard Candy Name
Madonna is being sued over her fitness brand.
The "Hung Up" hitmaker has been accused by beauty and fashion company Hard Candy of maliciously stealing their name to sell exercise DVDs and apparel and the firm have filed a lawsuit in federal court for trademark infringement and unfair competition.
The case claims the 55-year-old singer began selling her goods under the Hard Candy name in 2011 despite a previous rejection from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. "Defendants' actions have caused and will cause Hard Candy, LLC irreparable harm for which money damages and other legal remedies are inadequate. Unless Defendants are restrained by this Court, Defendants will continue and/or expand the improper activities alleged in this Complaint and otherwise continue to cause great and irreparable harm and injury to Hard Candy, LLC," federal court papers obtained by RadarOnline.com state.
The lawsuit also targets Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, but claims the "Material Girl" singer is "the driving force behind the infringing activity, taking credit herself for the initial selection and subsequent expansion."

Madonna's Conical Bra to Fetch $24,000 at Auction
Madonna's famous conical corset bra is expected to fetch $24,000 at auction today.
The Jean Paul Gaultier-designed green silk bustier with conical cups - which the "Girl Gone Wild" hitmaker wore on her 1990 Blond Ambition tour - is going under the hammer at Christie's auction house in South Kensington, south west London.
The now 54-year-old singer donned the garment - which also features peppermint bugle beads, with clustered sequins and beads at cups and hip line - during her performance of "Hanky Panky" and "Now I'm Following You" at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on August 1, 1990.
A black Lycra two-piece, which she wore while performing her 1990 hit "Vogue" in the stadium, is expected to go for up to $19,000 in the sale of pop culture items. The stage costume is made up of a black satin bustier costume with top-stitched conical cups complete with a black custom-made all in one suit, and Lycra shorts stitched to a mesh bodice.

Madonna Offers Weight Loss Tips to Kelly Osbourne
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Madonna has helped Kelly Osbourne drop a dress size.
The pair have previously worked together on the "Girl Gone Wild" hitmaker's clothing range Material Girl, and the singer has been advising the Fashion Police host on diet and exercise to help her shed weight she gained earlier this year.
"Madonna's helped Kelly get back to a size eight. Kelly does the Ballet Barre workout five days week - she loves the dance element and can see how it's changed her shape," a source said. "Madonna's also encouraged her to eat in a more macrobiotic way - cutting out wheat, artificial sweeteners and cheese. Kelly's avoiding carbs to beat bloating and has been eating boiled eggs for breakfast, grilled chicken salad for lunch and fish with steamed greens for dinner."
Kelly is not the only member of the Osbourne family to recently go on a change of diet - her mother Sharon is on the low-carbohydrate Atkins diet so she can shed some excess weight.
Georgia May Jagger: Madonna is Style Inspiration
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models,
Georgia May Jagger gets her style inspiration from Madonna.
The 20-year-old daughter of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and former supermodel Jerry Hall, revealed that the singer is her fashion icon. The face of the Fall 2012 Material Girl marketing campaign said, "I had so much fun shooting this campaign." The photo shoot took place at the rehearsal for Madonna's MDNA tour at Nassau Coliseum in May.
She added that her experience growing up on tour with her father enabled her to channel what Madonna and her daughter Lourdes has in mind for the line of clothing's new season: "I spent a lot of my childhood backstage hanging out around amps. That was where we chilled when we were younger. So this photo shoot brought back a lot of memories. I have always admired Madonna's music and style; she is constantly reinventing herself."

Georgia May Jagger 'Thrilled' to Work with Madonna
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Georgia May Jagger is "thrilled" to be working with Madonna and her daughter Lourdes on their fashion line.
The model was announced as the new face of Material Girl on Wednesday and says she is delighted to work with Madonna because the "Gimme All Your Luvin" singer is one of her style icons.
"To be handpicked by Madonna and Lola [Lourdes] as the new face of Material Girl is truly amazing. It all came together rather quickly. My agent received a call from the Material Girl team saying Lola and Madonna wanted to work together with me.
From talking with Lola, she and her mum liked my style and thought it would be a good fit. I've always admired Madonna's style and I'm thrilled to be working with her and Lola. I dressed up like her for a school dance once! The campaign will break this summer. I'm sworn to secrecy until then, but we shot in New York and it was great fun," she said.
The 20-year-old model- whose parents are Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger - is also the face of Rimmel London and is currently in Paris shooting a campaign for Hudson Jeans.

Madonna is set to launch a shoe collection. The 53-year-old "Hung Up" singer - who started young fashion line Material Girl with her daughter Lourdes in 2010 - is now branching out into footwear with a range of dance-inspired shoes.
Working in conjunction with shoe brand Aldo, the Truth or Dare line will boast 60 styles including flats, high heels and boots - many of which will feature studs and capped-toe detail. The range - which is aimed at women aged 27 to 50 - will eventually be expanded to include fragrances, clothes, accessories and lingerie.

Madonna Praises Duchess Catherine's Style
Madonna is a big fan of Duchess Catherine's style. The "Material Girl" singer praised Britain's Duchess of Cambridge for the way she manages to always look elegant, but never stiff or overly formal with her fashion choices.
"She is a lovely girl with a great sense of style. Her wedding dress by Alexander McQueen was very beautiful. I like her choices. She's elegant and still knows how to have some fun. I'm a fan of her style."
Catherine and Madonna's fashion sense is so close, they have even been spotted in the same dress - with the former wearing a salmon-pink satin dress by Stella McCartney to a Sunday dinner in Berkshire, southern England, which Madonna had previously donned three years ago at the Cannes film festival.
Speaking this weekend at the premiere of her new film W.E. - Madonna's directorial debut, about the scandal of King Edward VIII, who abdicated from the English throne to marry US divorcee Wallis Simpson - the singer also said she appreciates how the English royal family have relaxed in their attitude since the time when her film was set: "The freedom that Catherine has and the freedom the royal family has now is nice and is refreshing. It's too bad that Edward VIII didn't have that same kind of freedom back in 1937 to make his own decisions and to be the prince of the people, which Prince William is allowed to be. I like how modern they are now."
Is Kelly Osbourne the New Face of Material Girl?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, Rumors,
Kelly Osbourne is reportedly set to be unveiled as the new face of Madonna's Material Girl clothing line.
The Fashion Police presenter will take over the role from Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen after the brand recently launched an appeal on its website, asking fans to choose their preferred celebrity ambassador for the label.
"Kelly's always been a massive fan of Madonna and recently heard Lourdes idolized her, which she was very flattered by. It's a huge coup," said a close friend of Kelly's.
The new appointment could help to heal a rift between Madonna, 52, and Kelly's mother, presenter and rock manager Sharon Osbourne, who is renowned for her sharp tongue. "She is full of s**t. I would like to punch her. She's a tart," Sharon said of Madonna in 2005.
A source, however, revealed Sharon will support Kelly if she does take on the modeling gig: "Sharon and Kelly are very, very close and she will support her daughter with all her heart, like she does all her children. If Kelly ends up modeling for Material Girl, it will be great."

Teryn joined ATKG in 2001 to help out on projects while Melanie had her twin boys. What started out as a favor from one CPA friend to another turned into Teryn becoming a partner in 2003, which was likely Melanie's master plan the whole time. Of course, Teryn's quite strategic herself, so it was very likely part of her master plan as well!
Teryn graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and then earned her MBA from the University of Manchester (UK). She honed her skills at Big Four firms both nationally and internationally, as well as in industry working for a prior client, but found her dream job when she became her own boss and surrounded herself with great teammates at ATKG. With over 20 years of experience in areas such as real estate, manufacturing, oil & gas, family offices, retail and professional services, Teryn is a great role model and mentor for staff members at ATKG.
Teryn is active in many organizations outside of ATKG. She is a board member and current Finance Chair of the San Antonio Chapter of Entrepreneurs Organization (EO). She is also a past board member of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and served as chair of their Million Dollar Roundtable program. Teryn's leadership in these organizations comes full circle to ATKG, as Teryn is known for bringing idea after idea after idea back to the company to keep things fresh, to challenge us, and to keep ATKG at the top of its game.
With her involvement as a partner at ATKG and in the community, it's hard to believe Teryn has time for anything else, but she does! She is an avid traveler and even lived in South Africa before joining ATKG. Her many world travels make for great conversation at firm happy hours! She can't pick a favorite destination, but says that hiking in New Zealand and cocktails on a great beach top the list! As if that's not enough, Teryn stays active by participating in marathons and triathlons. Most importantly, however, she loves spending quality time with her two greatest accomplishments, daughters Nicole and Natalie.

Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a backcountry park on the Alaskan peninsula. There is no road access to the park and preserve; most visitors arrive by small plane. Varying terrain at the park includes the junction of three mountain ranges, two volcanoes, rainforests, tundra, glacial lakes and rivers. Many of the park's streams and lakes are vital to the Bristol Bay salmon fishery. The only maintained hiking trail system within the park is the Tanalian Trails system.
More ideas near me: Best Day Trips, Free Things to Do
The trailhead is adjacent to the southernmost airstrip in Port Alsworth, deep within the heart of the park. Hikes range from moderate to rigorous. The Beaver Pond trail offers a moderate hike through birch groves and around a beaver pond; the hike offers excellent summer bird-watching. A more difficult hike takes visitors through spruce covered hillsides for a view of Lake Clark. At the top, the 30-foot Tanalian Falls are a waterfall of glacier waters over hardened ancient lava. Hikers who continue further into the backcountry will reach Kontrashibuna Lake. Tanalian Mountain offers difficult uphill hiking for a stunning panoramic view of Lake Clark. One of the more popular backcountry hikes to Teetering Rock begins at the cabin of Richard Proenneke, a famous wilderness enthusiast who lived in the cabin on the shore of Upper Twin Lake for thirty years. The hand built log cabin from 1967 has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2007. The park's Twin Lakes are popular for sport fishing for sockeye salmon and arctic grayling, among other species. Visitors also enjoy kayaking and canoeing, or paddling to the outlet of the Lower Twin Lake for white water rafting down the Chilikadrotna River. Guests who prefer not to camp can spend the night at rustic cabins at Priest Rock. The cabins are located on Lake Clark approximately 8 miles from Port Alsworth, and were originally built by Allen Woodward, a summer resident of Lake Clark from 1950 through the early 2000's. A museum at the park manages a collection of over 200,000 herbs, fossils, journals, photographs and objects, many of which belonged to the late Richard Proenneke. Also at the museum is a double-ender Bristol Bay wooden sailboat belonging to Allen Woodward and once used in Alaskan commercial fishing in the mid-1900's. The sailboat was donated to the park by the Woodwards in 2000. The museum is located at the Visitor Center in Port Alsworth.
History: The original name of Lake Clark is "Qizhjeh Vena," or 'place where people gather.' This name reflects the region's role in supporting the Dena'ina people who have lived there for thousands of years, and continue to live off the land today. In 1962, the American Richard "Dick" Proenneke was invited by friends to Upper Twin Lake. He loved it so much he returned year after year and in 1967, at the age of 51, was ready to scout out a site for his own cabin. When a location was found, he began to harvest spruce trees to build the cabin that was to be his home for the next 30 years. Dick was a master craftsman and built his home with local tools and materials. His simple lifestyle made room for an awareness of the wilderness, and he kept meticulous notes, journals and films during his time at Upper Twin Lake.
He recorded wildlife, weather, and the humans who visited him. He was not a hermit, and maintained correspondence with anyone who wrote him a letter. His life inspired the 1977 short film "One Man's Alaska" and his journals have been published into books. Proenneke was a conservationist who aimed to live with the least impact possible on the wilderness around him. He matured from a sport hunter to a subsistence hunter, to a non-hunter during his time in the Twin Lakes region. His off-the-grid life resonates with many around the world and his wilderness ethos has been an inspiration. Proenneke, and fellow local Allen Woodward were among a group of World War II veterans whose skills as pilots allowed them to explore the Alaskan territory when it opened up after the war. Allan Woodward sold the first of his three cabins to the National Park Foundation in 1979, one year before the site became a National Park in 1980.
Ongoing Programs and Education: In the summer month, park rangers are stationed at Richard Proenneke's cabin and offer tours to any guests who arrive. No reservations are needed. The site of the hand built log cabin includes a raised cache for the storage of food and a woodshed with an outhouse.

This Sunday, the only thing I'm looking forward to more than the Super Bowl commercials is the Super Bowl food. While wings and beef-covered nachos may be the norm, vegetarians can have some football food fun, too! There are plenty of amazing vegetarian and gluten-free options for celebrating the big game. Here is a list of some of my favorites, with links to recipes:
–Vegetarian Bean Chili
–Mango guacamole with corn chips
-Vegetarian nachos –Just add your favorite ingredients to corn chips. I go with vegetarian refried beans and cheddar cheese (baked in the toaster oven until the cheese melts), with guacamole and salsa for dipping.
-Gluten-free crackers with brie and raspberry jam
–White cheddar cranberry dip –I haven't actually tried this yet, but it looks amazing!
–Spinach artichoke dip with corn chips
–Creamy French Onion Mac and Cheese made with gluten-free pasta
–Seven layer dip

Outstanding anything socks!

These are the most wonderful, durable and comfortable socks I've ever worn. I'll never buy any other socks but Thorlos. I wear them with my boots, casual and dress shoes.

Best socks for working_standing on concrete floors.
12/11/19 | By Ron P.
They are great for keeping legs feeling good.
My Marine Loves them
12/11/19 | By Tamula d C.
My marine loves these socks. Has a pair for everyday of the week and extras
My bad....
12/08/19 | By Kevin B.
These are really good socks. My mistake was ordering the over the calf style. I have since ordered a crew style hiking sock and love them. More my style....
Cushion is great but not enough spandex to stay up.
12/04/19 | By Les C.
Feet are comfy in boots but lack the advertised stay-n-place power. I have to pull these up constantly throughout the day even though they are over the calf. The mlid-range socks are better in staying in place but lack the comfort of these.
Best Sock Going. Period.
10/17/19 | By Paul M.
I've worn this sock since Gulf War 1 in and out of uniform in the farthest reaches of the planet. Jungles, mountains, deserts, dive bars. Unfailing quality beginning to end. Don't wring your hands. But the damned socks! You're welcome.
Great socks for military boots
07/07/19 | By Lesa B.
Right color for the new Air Force uniform. Very comfortable.
Great socks!!!
07/03/19 | By David D.
I never thought I would pay this much for a pair of socks. Tried one pair and have bought nothing else since. I was working on concrete all day and my feet killed me. I had good shoes but did not realize how much I needed good socks also. Like I said well worth the price!
Great socks
06/19/19 | By Fred M.
Have been using them with my work boots and also western boots. So far have stayed up above the calf. Very thick and padded. Have been wearing Thorlos for years and they are great socks. Only socks I use.

The Thorlo's heavy duty over-the-calf socks I've worn on my farm finally wore out -- after 15 years! My four new pairs of MCB's are well on their way to my next 15 years of happy, healthy wear. Thanks for a quality, reliable product!

being a Leafs fan
My connection to the Leafs is pretty much down to one person. His real first name is Norman, but he goes by a shortened form of his middle name (William): Bill. He is also known as my father. My dad has always loved the Leafs and he passed on that love to me, a love that grew in my teens to what it is now at age 30. Because I didn't live with my father, the Leafs are a real bonding thing for us and thus a team on which I am still not willing to fully give up. My dad and I are real Leafs fans, not the pie-in-the-sky, uncritical type that a lot of so-called fans are. As Dave Feschuk and Michael Grange point out in their brilliant new book Leafs AbomiNation, the problem is that Leafs fans don't love their team too much, they love them too little. They are willing to settle for whatever mediocre crap is thrown on the ice season after season and treat the players like heroes just because they wear the Blue & White. My father and I do not really fit that mold and we would be the first people to lambast the Leafs' torturously poor decision making in the post-1967 era. Many a phone call have we shared where my father and I have derided the team and there have been times where they've been so bad (pretty constantly) that we've essentially ignored them and focused on other sporting loves (I am a passionate Liverpool FC supporter and thus have another club to focus on that is far more successful while my father loves the CFL's Hamilton Tiger Cats and the Toronto Blue Jays). My dad remembers 1967, remembers when the Leafs were great. I know the stories and have studied the history: from Barilko to Baun, Keon to Sittler, from the agony of "the Ballard Years" to the corporate B.S. of the MLSE era, I know all about it. Which brings us to the concept of loyalty...
I love you Dave Keon:
There is something to be said for loyalty, though I consider my/our loyalty to be "loyalty with discernment". I am willing to admit to being a Leafs fan, will sport my jersey or t-shirt, but I refuse to make excuses to others for a team that has missed the playoffs for the last four years, has made incredibly bad trade decisions (you readers don't have three hours to hear the post-67 list--it would make you cry), rewarded mediocrity with ridiculous contracts (Brian McCabe??? Lord helps us, he had a good one-timer and that's IT), drafted like Helen Keller, and generally put profits ahead of winning (are you listening, Richard Peddie!?), just to mention a few symptoms of general malaise. Garbage management (i.e. John Ferguson Jr.???), poor scouting, bad ownership, blind fans, and a number of other factors have contributed to making the team the laughingstock it is today; I, for one, would love to see it end because it's tiring. However, there is a glimmer of hope...
Say what you will about Brian Burke, but love him or hate him, he knows how to get results and he has a long-term vision for the team, something the organization has lacked for....well, a hell of a long time. The Leafs are starting to scout far better, draft better, and not trade away picks under the Burke regime. Is he perfect? No, not at all and he will probably make mistakes in the fishbowl that is the Toronto hockey market. However, he knows the symptoms of what Feschuk and Grange call 'Blue & White Disease', as does his hardass coach Ron Wilson, and I don't see this malady continuing--in fact, the vaccine is being continually developed. I am so pleased they picked up Jonas Gustavsson ("The Monster") to challenge Vesa Toskala ("The Tepid Finn") for the top goaltending job, hopefully shoring up what Burke calls 'hockey's most important position'. Nazim Kadri looks like he could be a very good NHLer if he continues to develop, and Burke's other additions make him look very smart and savvy, including the scouting and signing of college players such as Tyler Bozak and Christian Hanson. Add Francois Beauchemin, Colton Orr, and Mike Komisarek (to name but a few) and no other team is going to want play the Leafs this season for fear of being steamrolled! I hope the message Burke is sending is "Enough of the no-trade clauses and cushy treatment. If you want a spot on this team, you earn it through your play!" We'll see what the 2009-10 season brings...
I love the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey club and the reason I am still a fan is because of a yearning to see respectability and glory returned to what was once a proud franchise with a tradition of winning. Conn Smythe would roll over in his grave if he knew what the Buds had become since their last Cup in 1967 (FYI, the Blackhawks have been waiting even longer for a Cup, their last win being 1961 when Mikita and Hull were their big guns!). For me and my father, it's about seeing some dignity and a winning tradition restored to a franchise that he remembers and I dream about. My father and I don't care about profit margins, corporate sponsorship, good branding or any of that crap. Like the real fans we want to see winning, a team that has guts, passion, and a never-say-die attitude rather than the whiny, spoiled, Muskoka Five-type attitude prevalent of late, where you love being a Leaf because of the social perks and treatment by myopic fans who do not care enough about seeing the Cup return to the Leafs. And if it happens in my lifetime, a Cup win for the Leafs will make it all that much sweeter because I will have stuck it out rather than giving up. I hope my dad gets to see it too!
* To my friends who are Canucks fans: Your team is by far my favourite team in the league outside of the Leafs; I always sincerely hope for their best and love to see them succeed. However, please stop comparing the Leafs and Canucks based on playoff performance (the most common comparison you bring up): if you examine the stats, the Canucks have really had little better playoff success than the Leafs in the the last 20 years or so, not withstanding the miracle run in 1994. In the last two decades the Leafs have made it to the Conference Finals four times and Vancouver has made it...once, where they beat the Leafs in five games. Yes, in general, the Canuckleheads have had more success in the regular season, but what counts is how you do when you're not playing for a salary anymore. And based on that measure we've shown more stones than you have in the last couple of decades, in my humble opinion. We've missed the playoffs for four straight years now, a fact you never stop reminding me of, but funnily, so did YOU between 1996 and 2000 (not to mention 2005-06 and 2007-08). Have your teams been better than the Leafs in general? Absolutely. Do you have some of the most hot and cold fans in professional sports? Heck, yes. Have you wilted like violets in the playoffs? Yup. Is the Luongo-Sedins axis getting it done for you? Not in a million years and it's not looking likely in the future either, despite Luongo's long-term deal. So, please cut the mockery, because when it comes to playoff performance comparisons, you don't have a leg to stand on. End of rant. Bing Man out.

Still sore about your supposed playoff "achievements"? Burke's a smart boy, whether you like him or not. I said he may make mistakes, but I said there's reason for HOPE, not complete rescue. My my, dear Randle, make sure you read CAREFULLY... ;)

There's only one hope for complete rescue! And we all know who that is!
Seriously though.
Awesome post.
I loathe the maple leafs. (More than you could ever understand Matty.) But all the best hockey fans I know are Bud fans. I'm not saying all leaf fans are good fans - cuz as you pointed out, most aren't. But you are an example of prime fandom! I love my team, but I don't know if I could survive the abuse you endure! So Kudos to you...
Really though... Fantastic Post. I really hope we meet you in the Post-Season this year (cuz you will make it) You do realize if that happens you'll have to come to van or I'm gonna have to go back to Vic...

California City Bans 'Distracted Walking'
It is illegal to operate a mobile phone to talk, text or listen to music while crossing the street in Montclair, California
"Montclair has made it illegal to cross the street while glued to your phone," reports David Allen.
Specifically, the city has made it illegal to cross the street while using a mobile phone, including the use of ear buds. "No earphones, no phone calls and no texting while in a crosswalk," explains Allen.
Montclair City Manager Ed Starr came up with the idea, crediting the city of Honolulu's distracted walking ban with giving him the idea.

Boasting 16 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the longest ski season in the world and some of the most spectacular natural wonders on the planet, it's no wonder tourists continue to flock to Canada in record numbers.
Few places allow for such fun-filled diversity as Canada; a place where you can start the day with a dip in the ocean, before hitting the ski slopes that same afternoon.
This part of North America is vast, wild and magical.
And these four locations highlight some of Western Canada's must-see cities.
Nestled on a scenic harbour, the western Canadian city of Vancouver is acclaimed for its beauty. From picturesque harbour islands, to lush-green parks and the scenic Rocky Mountains, few cities offer such natural diversity.
While Vancouver city has all the usual major-city appeals, it's surrounding neighbourhoods are also well worth exploring.
The Stanley Park markets for example are a must.
The cobblestone streets of Gastown will take you back to early Vancouver. Filled with cafes, art galleries and bars, this hotspot remains a popular local hang-out.
The hippie-turned-hipster Kitsilano on Kits Beach is one of the city's oldest residential areas with craftsman style row-houses and a gastronomic food scene.
Two-hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is nestled amongst the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
Known for its incredible winter skiing and year 'round outdoors appeal', Whistler remains a popular choice for nature lovers.
Visit outside of winter and the active traveller can choose from one of four championship golf courses, mountain hiking and biking trails, along with the pampered lifestyle found in one of the luxurious spas.
Lake Louise
Mother Nature puts on a spectacular show in Lake Louise. Frozen lakes, outdoor skating rinks and snow-blanketed ski-slopes sparkle under the winter sun.
Summer months see endless days of sunshine where adventure activities like horse riding, rock climbing, hiking, and scenic helicopter tours will leave you spellbound.
No matter your activity of choice, it will be the bright starry sky by campfire that will have you truly re-connecting with nature.
Canada's fourth largest city, Calgary mixes country charm with urban splendour.

The city is a heady mix of big-city energy, cheerful western charm and natural beauty.
In July, don't miss one of Canada's largest spectaculars of the year – the famous Calgary Stampede.

The nightmare started like just a weird dream.
A point of view in space, no ship, no body, just a floating point of view. Watching a prison transport slowly go by, then being attacked by another ship, details fuzzy and out of focus, but yet she knew it was a prison transport being attacked.
The transport took several hits, the shields quickly falling. Then a hull breach developed, sucking several forms into space. The pov zoomed in to one of the forms, that of a large barabel with his eyes closed and an almost peaceful look on his familiar face. Suddenly the barabel was inside another ship, laying on the floor of an airlock, eyes still closed. A familiar voice came from the open interior airlock door, "Yes, you are the one. Too bad you are still alive, now I have to waste energy killing you myself." Then there are several dozen blaster bolts fired into the unconsious barabel's body, leaving the head untouched and the resulting hole through the center of his chest ensured that the barabel would never eat another pancake.
Then the vision flashed, and now the point of view was from her own body, and I was no longer alone. The pain from a moment before completely gone, replaced by rising drunken passion as my body writhed with two others in a posh hotel bed. I was allowed to relive this moment just long enough to let the lingering thoughts of the previous scene fade, then a door that I don't remember being there opened with a backlit form in armor holding a familiar repeating blaster. "I thought I taught you better than this. Feeling only brings pain and weakness." As all three of us sat up, looking for weapons, the blaster fired once from the doorway, and I screamed…
And then I awoke, still screaming, tears running down my face, sweat soaking me, arms crushing the stuffing out of Jack the squib. It took me a while to get back under control. I know that my father had nothing to do with anything this far towards civilization. And doing anything like that would show that he felt something in there for me one way or another - he made it quite clear that was not the case and he wanted nothing further to do with me once he abandoned me. I know that he is wrong, feeling is right. There is no point to living if you don't feel alive. And I feel deep down that I am stronger with the support of friends and family.
I had driven him from my mind years ago. Now with everything else happening, its all melting into my nightmares, and sleep will get harder to come by… that's sure to improve my mood.
Damn DSK for dredging up thoughts of him!
Need to take my mind off of these dark thoughts and get some rest. Maybe I'll get in my armor and go out on the patio to blast some targets, that might cheer me up…

Chinese people have been emigrating for centuries, especially to South-East Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. The Communist government put a stop to this, but started to relax its emigration laws in 1983, perhaps seeing this as one means of easing the country's population growth. In contrast, very few people migrate into China; most of those who do are overseas Chinese. This adds up to a negative net migration (the number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants) of -300,000 per year. To compare this figure with other countries, the net migration rate is used. China has a net migration rate of -0.32 migrants per 1,000 population, putting it in 128th place out of the 222 territories in the world.
China has an extremely high urbanisation rate. An annual average of 2.85% of the population move to China's urban and suburban areas, adding to the 50.6% of the population who currently live in a city or town. (source: CIA World Factbook).
Sections in RELOCATION IN CHINA:
» International Relocation for Expats in China
» Repatriation for Expats in China
» Expats Relocating with Families and Pets in China
If you are considering moving to China or are soon to depart, you can find helpful information and advice in the Expat Briefing dedicated Chinese section including; details of immigration and visas, Chinese forums, Chinese event listings and service providers in China.
From your safety to shopping, living in China can yield great benefits as well as occasional drawbacks. Find your feet and stay abreast of the latest developments affecting expats in China with relevant news and up-to-date information.
Working in China can be rewarding as well as stressful, if you don't plan ahead and fulfill any legal requirements. Find out about visas and passports, owning and operating a company in China, and general Chinese culture of the labour market.

Here's a message to the Major League Baseball Umpires Assn., carefully phrased in a way sure to get the organization's attention:
San Diego Padres star Manny Machado received a one-game suspension Monday from the MLB for "aggressively arguing and making contact" with umpire Bill Welke during a game against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night. Machado, who also threw his bat against the backstop during his meltdown, denies making contact with Welke and is appealing the suspension.
The umpire's union took to social media Tuesday, issuing scathing statements that accused the league of going easy on Machado.
"What kind of precedent is that setting?" the MLBUA said on Facebook. "It is NOT okay to throw a temper tantrum and physically touch someone of authority, just because you don't agree. Violence in all workplaces is not tolerated. Period."
Another statement from the organization's Twitter account featured wording that was just as strong, with the word "VIOLENTLY" in all caps to describe the bat-throwing part of the incident. So it was probably not necessary to also include a full dozen hashtags — including #Violence, #TemperTantrum, #NotTolerated, #MakeanExampleof and #RepeatOffender — as part of the tweet.
#Disappointed #LeadByExample #NotAppreciated #Violence #TemperTantrum #Inaction #NotTolerated #MakeanExampleof #OneGameSuspension #RepeatOffender #Nonsense #MLBUA @MLB @Padres @Buster_ESPN pic.twitter.com/pkcW5O1SnB— Major League Baseball Umpires Association (@MLBUA) June 18, 2019
Possibly (but probably not) prompted by the excessive usage of hashtags, the MLB issued a statement of its own Tuesday regarding the union's posts from earlier in the day.

"We do not believe it is appropriate for the union representing Major League Umpires to comment on the discipline of players represented by the Players Association, just as it would not be appropriate for the Players Association to comment on disciplinary decisions made with respect to umpires," the league stated. "We also believe it is inappropriate to compare this incident to the extraordinarily serious issue of workplace violence."

There are so many ways that being a parent is tough, it's an emotional roller coaster for a start! If you add in some fussy eating or a troubled sleeper your own health and emotional wellbeing can very quickly become fragile. When we find it hard to manage our behaviour and yell or slam doors we can add guilt to the list of things that are not going the way we expected. Our vision of parenthood can take a real knock – and on a bad day, or while awake in the early hours we wonder what on earth we were thinking starting along this road.
The really important thing to remember is that you are not alone, every parent has been at the end of their tether, and most will cross over it many times. It doesn't make you a bad parent – it makes you a human being. Just the fact you are reading this, trying new things, willing to ask for and accept support makes you a brilliant parent.
Sleep deprivation in particular is a real and daily problem for many parents – your body will often adapt quite quickly, and you may be able to do a 2am feed without really waking up. However if you are woken by a child in distress, who may need to be changed or the bed changed, who may be having a night terror- that wakes you up in a very particular and abrupt way. When this goes on over a long period of time your body and your brain cannot adapt as easily and needs extra care to keep you functioning.
So, what do I know about it? Why should you read this? I have four children, the oldest is just 9. I yell – even with years of professional experience and teaching assertiveness my seven year old daughter can push my buttons with one sentence… I have been frustrated, and I will be again (quite possibly tonight). I also have early risers, one with night terrors and two who have regular nightmares. I also have these qualifications and experiences that allow me to come up with a strategy or new ideas to try very quickly, so my 'moments' are shorter and less often.
Children with night terrors are usually still asleep, and despite shouting and all sorts of other behaviour you may not be able to hold them, but will probably want to stay in the room with them until it passes – be kind to yourself and be comfortable. It is a very stressful experience, and they will go back to sleep before you do; anything that helps you to bring your emotions back into balance to allow for sleep is a good thing. You could have a trial with a journal, hand cream, foot rub, hair brush, quick tooth brush, meditation, reading, wordsearch – your bedside cabinet may look like a jumble sale for a while, but finding something that soothes you is like magic fairy dust. You may also think of ways to move your bedroom, or your child's bedroom around to make this period as easy as possible on everyone.
I'd love to help other parents with ideas that might work for you too… here are just 5.
1. SING – this sounds so frivolous and stupid, but it really can help restore the chemical balance of your system. It doesn't matter what you sing, with music or not, in the shower, with the kids just release some tension. You can belt out some great ballads, even have a cry – it's all good for your emotional wellbeing. If you can join a singing group of any sort you may also get an evening out and some social contact which also help to balance periods of intensity at home.
2. EXERCISE – another essential for balancing our bodies. Most important is to aim for fresh air/outdoor activity as much as possible – this is good for you and the kids. The weather in the UK hasn't really helped with this very much, but as much as possible try to go outside, even if it's just a short walk or play in the garden. You could borrow an exercise DVD from the library to do with the kids watching or joining in, practice yoga, or just put the washing away and change the beds which is like a marathon in our house…
3. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART – to solve sleep problems in adults or children, you are probably going to try lots of different things, embrace all ideas and suggestions but remember to listen to your inner voice as well. What works for someone else may not feel comfortable for you, and that's ok. When you are up at night and may feel frustrated try to use your breathing to help steady yourself, deep breaths with a count of five in between. You may also want to totally change things just to see what happens… children change every single day, so nothing you do is likely to be the same forever. Try having white noise in their room, weighted blankets, play music – whatever you try you will learn more and at least feel you are not stuck in your own private Ground Hog Day. You should also prepare for your own needs while up with children, perhaps take up a drink or snack or an electronic reader…
4. EAT WELL – one of the hardest things about our emotions being all over the place, and being tired is that our eating habits usually suffer to. Either we can't be bothered and don't eat at all, or are too tired for healthy home cooked options and go for crisps and cake. What your body really needs when it is having a tough time is really nourishing foods to keep it working. On a better day, or on a weekend try to do some batch cooking, so you have some food in the freezer for the week or if you have slow cooker, get in the habit of using that. Then fill up the fridge with snack foods that are good for all of you – fruit, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks etc. For easy meals chuck some potatoes in the oven for jackets, have pasta with a nice sauce – we often worry so much about what the kids eat and let our own bodies suffer.
5. TALK – one of the biggest issues with sleep problems is that in the moment you are on your own, everyone else is asleep. It can feel very lonely. Make sure you take opportunities to talk about your situation, or just to talk in general with other parents. Online groups are amazing and can offer great sources of information and like-minded people – but you also need real contact at toddler groups, other parents from school, support groups, friends, neighbours – whoever you can talk to just to feel human again. If you are up all night it can be even harder to drag yourself out and about, but that is usually when it is most vital – even having a friend over for a cuppa at your place will give you that adult human contact to put the world back into perspective. If you have someone that lives overseas, it may be that they are wide awake eating dinner when it's 2am here, if so they can be a great resource for you x
Not everything works, or is possible, for everyone but you do need to prioritise your own health so that you can do all the things required of you to be a parent. Use your support network to help you, if you don't have a support network then get working on creating one! It might be much more valuable for you to have a sit down and rest and don't change the beds this week, or make the packed lunches the night before so you can have a shower in the morning?
If you are in a relationship you also need to consider the impact that disturbed sleep patterns and exhaustion might be having on you both. That's a whole new article, for now just remember you are a team and need to feel that way about each other… We have a whole section on Relationships on our Frugal You page if you feel that would be useful – remember these days don't last forever x

AT RIGHT -- No separation anxiety here! My Miniature Schnauzer, Amy, watching as we leave the house. She doesn't care and as soon as we close the front door, she will put her head down and sleep for the next two or three hours until we return. She has been taught that our leaving is not a big deal and we will return--->
To resolve separation anxiety, your dog needs to learn that you leaving the house is NO MORE IMPORTANT than you getting a drink of water at the sink. That's our goal.
Separation anxiety in dogs is a common problem and affects most breeds. Almost any active, alert dog can suffer from it. It is a mix of dog psychology and dog instinct.
Your dog has a "pack" instinct and wants her "family" of litter mates (or humans) around so she knows where everybody is. She is a highly social animal. When you leave the house, you are gone and she does not know where you are so she feels alone and stressed. Abandoned. She is suddenly put into a state of nervous anxiety when everyone leaves and she is left alone.
So, she finds something inappropriate to chew on, barks at nothing, whines, and tears the house apart out of frustration. She literally gets a little "crazy." These are symptoms of separation anxiety in dogs.
I know it is hard to ignore your dog and pretend she is not there, but there are times you must do it to get a point across.
Some simple advice:
Before leaving the house -
Soothe and comfort your dogs when they are crying and whining. Don't EVER say "it's OK," or "good girl" when she's upset. Do not be sympathetic in your voice as it's bad dog psychology. That's the worst thing you can do in cases of separation anxiety.
After you've been gone a half hour or so, the dog's anxiety will worsen. She will bark and scratch and dig at windows, trying to escape. She may urinate and/or defecate in the house, no matter how well house-trained she is. In extreme cases she might lick and chew her skin until it's raw, or pull out fur or even engage in spinning and tail chasing. Separation anxiety in dogs is a powerful emotion.
Remember, puppies up to about one year old may LOOK grown up, but actually are still puppies and are not ready to be left alone. This is when you need the CRATE to confine the puppy and make it feel safe in it's own den. Don't give your puppy a chance to destroy the house. Separation anxiety in dogs knows no age limits.
Also, dogs that were separated from their mothers and siblings too soon have been identified as being especially prone to dog separation anxiety.
Puppies from pet stores are a perfect example of this: they are usually taken from their mothers way too soon and confined to small glass cages or boxes in the pet store for two months or more. This early confinement is psychologically traumatic to the puppies resulting in strong separation anxiety in the dog.
For all your dog training and obedience situations I have no hesitation in recommending the #1 best selling dog training package in the world to anyone who owns a dog of any breed. You've probably seen this ebook advertised on other sites, and I strongly approve, The BOOK itself is excellent. If you wish, take a look. It carries a money back guarantee. Secrets To Dog Training - Dog Obedience Training
From Seperation Anxiety To Dog Behavior Training
From Separation Back To Adopt A Dog
From Separation Anxiety To Bringing Home A New Puppy

Okoboji Iowa Keeps the Fun Year Round! | Video
Whilst trekking across the frozen landscapes of Iowa, we found ourselves in the midst of glacier-carved lakes and we knew that the frigid temperatures would make for some interesting activities. The time-tested vacation destination of Okoboji, Iowa is as popular in the winter as in the summer, thanks to ice drag racing, bountiful fishing, and friendly faces.
The year-round playground offers a serene backdrop that you just have to see to believe. The beauteous chain of lakes also known as the Iowa Great Lakes include Iowa's largest natural lake, Spirit Lake and five interconnecting lakes. The community thrives with people of all ages, and we had a blast getting to kick it with them.
Long live Okoboji!

3 Tips for Pitching Journalists [VIDEO]
In our latest video, I give a brief overview and tips for pitching your story to the media. You can watch the video above and find a transcript below. At the end, you'll see a link to download our eBook on Earned, Owned and Paid PR where we delve a little deeper into the practice of media relations and how it fits into a full PR program.
Transcript of 3 Tips for Pitching Journalists Video
Hi, my name is Sean Ryan. I'm the vice president of media relations here at the Hodges Partnership and today we're going to talk about pitching the media. There are few things that you definitely want to do when you pitch the media.
The first thing that you really want to do, before you actually get to pitching the media, is take the time to research your media. What that means is that there are five of us PR folks compared to every one media member, so we want to make sure that we take the time to identify the right person, the right outlet, do your research and find out what the reporter is looking for before you even think about putting together a pitch. Actually, when you get to the pitch, what you want to identify as a few different things as well.
First, one of the things you need to do is keep your pitch short and simple. We want to avoid jargon at all costs. We want to talk to the reporter and identify why we have a story, but we have to keep it short. Reporters are getting inundated with hundreds and hundreds of emails per day, and they simply don't have time to look through a long 300-400 word pitch about how great your company is. Keep it short, keep it simple, and that will give you the best opportunity to get your email read and hopefully start a conversation with that reporter.
The second thing that you're going to want to do when you're pitching is to avoid blasting hundreds and hundreds of reporters at the same time. You want to make your pitch as personal as possible. One way of doing this is by actually reading what that reporter has been working on, what the outlet has been covering. You don't want to send something that's very impersonal to someone and not really know who you're pitching or why you're even pitching them. Reporters get hundreds and hundreds of emails from PR folks like us every day and you really want to try to stand out and one way of doing that is proving to them that you actually have taken the time to read what they work on.
And a third tip is to cater your pitch appropriately. You want to make sure that you're sending the right pitch to the right outlet at the right time. For instance if you're pitching the TV broadcast media, make sure you have visuals in mind. Know what you're going to offer them so that they can come out and get a good shot. If you're pitching the print media might be will be a little bit longer in your pitch, and get into a little bit more detail. You need to think of this is an introduction for what you're trying to pitch them, so that you can pique their interest, so they might want to come back for more. It's really important when pitching to put yourself in the reporter shoes. You're really trying to predict what they're looking for and what they want.
I like to think of it sometimes like speed dating in that there's 300 or 400 PR people all trying to get the attention of that one reporter. How are you going to stand out? One way when doing it through the emails is to be short, be brief, be concise and make sure that you're making your point as quickly as possible. That's one way that you can stand out and give yourself a better chance of being seen.

The Louisville Water Foundation is helping make clean drinking water available at the oldest hospital in Honduras.
The Foundation, the charitable arm of Louisville Water Company, has provided a $15,000 grant to the local nonprofit Water With Blessings to install water filtration sytems that will bring clean, drinkable water to the patients and staff at Hospital San Felipe in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Currently, if a patient there wants drinking water, his or her family members have to carry a bucket of it to the room themselves. That is, if they can find clean drinking water at all.
The Central American country is under a devastating drought and what potable water does exist is rationed out. First and most frequently it goes to the wealthiest residents. That means the impoverished communities served by Hospital San Felipe often go two or three weeks without being served by the local municipal water system.
This is a reality that most of us in the United States cannot begin to imagine.
"In Louisville, even the poorest among us drink freely in their hospital rooms," says Sister Larraine Lauter, the founder of Water With Blessings. "We take that for granted. We don't think twice."
With its $15,000 Louisville Water Foundation grant, Water With Blessings is installing simple filtration systems that treat their local well water. The hospital is not one building but instead a series of small standalone buildings. That means providing access to the entire hospital is a challenge, so the project is taking a multi-phase approach that will eventually create an entire network that serves all departments. At this point in the project, direct access is available at certain departments, including pediatrics.
While this is not the first time outsiders have come into the Tegucigalpa hospital with intent of improving access to healthy water, Sister Larraine believes the Water With Blessings project differs because its comprehensive and simple.
"There have been a few attempts in the past where a foundation would help with renovating a particular department (at the hospital)," she explains. "Some were very sophisticated systems and couldn't be sustained because there were complicated instructions."
That means that when something broke, it couldn't be fixed and locals were back to square one.
"People in this kind of situation can be used to groups not looking at broad picture," says Sister Larraine. "It took a while to build that trust. That is why it is invaluable to be able to partner with the Louisville Water Foundation. They really understand looking at the entire scope, thinking strategically and staying with it for the long term. It's not about going in and doing something flashy."
Another big component of the project is the reeducation process. At Hospital San Felipe, the faucets connected to the new water filtration systems are painted bright blue to distinguish them from other taps that bring the undrinkable water they are used to. They have also placed explanatory signs next to the new faucets.
"It took me drinking the water and people gasping," says Sister Larraine. "Their response is, 'Are you sure?' I say, "Yes. Watch! I'll drink out of the tap!'"
Once they taste the water for themselves and realize it will not make them sick, the joy overwhelms them, says Sister Larraine.
"All those patient needs--water, food, meds--the family members must buy them and bring it back to them. So, even to say that drinkable water is right outside the door of the ward, that is huge."

A political pratfall isn't complete until it gets the Stephen Colbert treatment. And so on Tuesday, after Breitbart got a story about as wrong as you can get, the conservative news site had its turn.
Colbert was unsparing in his ridicule of the article by Warner Todd Huston, the mustachioed writer of a Breitbart story that claimed Loretta Lynch, President Obama's nominee for attorney general, had defended former President Bill Clinton during the Whitewater investigation.
"This bombshell destroys Loretta Lynch's credibility to be attorney general if it were true," Colbert said. "But it turns out Teddy Roosevelt here had the wrong Loretta Lynch."
After the entire premise for Huston's article had unraveled, Breitbart ran a correction for the ages. Allow Colbert to explain.
"But as soon as walrus man noticed the mistake, Breitbart issued a correction by leaving up the same headline and adding the word 'corrected,'" Colbert said. "From there, it's the exact same article about how Obama's Loretta Lynch defended the Clintons until you get to the very bottom of the article where it reads, 'Correction: The Loretta Lynch identified earlier as the Whitewater attorney was, in fact, a different attorney."
Breitbart ultimately pulled the story off its site, but Colbert still offered mock praise for the initial response to the error.
"So I'm giving a tip of the hat to Breitbart for breaking this news, finding out it's broken, but sticking with the story anyway," Colbert said.

What makes a team?
February 20, 2011 1 Comment
Having just braved the football field for the last couple of hours watching my son's team lose 1-0 to a great side, I got to think about team work.
To set a bit of context, my son's team, North Cave Tigers (Under 11's) in East Yorkshire (UK), is at the top of their league and haven't lost a game for some months now. They're a good set of lads with great management and training coaches.
Today, it just wasn't working for the first 20 minutes, and the opposition scored. They weren't talking to each other, weren't watching or supporting each other and they weren't fully engaged in the game at all. Then the energy shifted; they were up against it, some natural leaders started to bark encouragement and with great shouts from the sidelines the team came back. For the rest of the match the game was played pretty much in the opposition's half of the pitch, the lads went for every opportunity, winning many, and they had multiple shots at goal, unfortunately not getting an equaliser. But what a difference, being put on the back foot, so to speak, had on the competitors. They communicated, they passed, they watched each other and the competition, they took risks and when they didn't work out they tried a different one.
My son was in tears at the end of the match – he'd tried so hard, they'd all tried hard, but they had lost the game and maybe their top position; but I've never been so proud of him. He'd put every ounce of passion he had into winning that game – this one got away, but if he puts that much effort into everything he does – I see great things ahead.
In a business context, it shouldn't be any different. Imagine a business team, completely focussed on results, with every member knowing what they have to do on the 'pitch' and how they can contribute to the business at hand. Everyone able to communicate freely, watching each other backs as well as the competition – even when they're not all in the same role / team, everyone cheering each other onto succeed and sharing in each other's success. That takes leadership, and not just from the top.

The home is comfortable and has a great location to get to anything around town. Michael is a terrific host and easy to reach with any questions or concerns. We certainly plan on returning.
I cannot say enough both about the beautiful home, and the hosts! Michael was the most communicative, thoughtful, and kind host who went well above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The house was impeccably clean, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. My two children loved the little play area upstairs, and greatly enjoyed the screened in porch every evening. The little touches Michael put in, such as leaving a well detailed guide to the area and clear instructions about trash/house issues made the experiences stress free and relaxing. We absolutely hope to come back as I cannot imagine a better host or house. I felt so strong I signed up to write this review!Thank you so much, Michael! It was a real pleasure. show more show less

Wanted : Heroic Dads!
Warning! The following statistics may change your life:
The statistics will ebb and flow, but it is more and more obvious to me that the youth will follow their father's footsteps. Mothers, this does not mean your example is not valued and necessary, but I guarantee you that 90% of you reading this blog are mothers. Thank you mothers for your outstanding commitment to your faith and to raising your children with a similar faith. Your Marian example is humbling and so, so important. I could write many blogs on what I've seen mothers doing correctly. This is not one of those blogs. The church needs the fathers to rise up. We need fathers to show up to youth group, to extracurricular church events, to take an interest in our youth's spirituality. It is the father's I am desperately reaching out to.
Dads - is anything more important than getting your children to Heaven? Anything? Material wealth? Your football team's wins or losses? Your sleep schedule? Your Sunday off? Are you living a life that reflect's what Jesus really wants from you, or do you pass the Church stuff off to your wife? How's your personal relationship with Jesus, and more importantly, how would your kid describe your relationship with Jesus? Yes, describing the inner workings of our faith requires depth of emotion, which is markedly unmanly in this current society. Jesus wept openly. He shared his heart and soul to 12 other men. Jesus knew the importance of the children of our world. We have to share our faith with our kids. We have to show them that Church is more than an hour on Sundays. It's a lifestyle and it is the most important thing in our lives. We have to let them see us going to Confession. We have to pray with them. We have to allow them to make their faith a priority in their lives by having faith lives worth modeling.
Children need people to feed them. Teenagers can feed themselves. Men feed themselves and others. Are you a spiritual man - or merely a child or teenager? How are you actively shaping the faith of your child? So before you start skipping Mass or the parish picnic to watch the Cowboys kickoff - ask yourself if you want to give your child a 2% fighting chance?
Please continue to pray for a "mangelization" in our Church!
