Pam and I popped into The Victoria for lunch on Friday (as usual the food was excellent and the service friendly) and Justin Pledger, the tenant, told me that The Rozel Bay will be opening, under his management in early April. This is really good news for residents of eastern parishes as it will mean that you now have a really friendly local pub with a restaurant delivering great food, much being locally sourced at attractive prices and with that all important service with a smile that is so much a feature of The Victoria.
The Victoria goes from strength to strength and from the many testimonials that we receive it is clear that people love the combination of good food, good value and attentive service. To take an extract from one of their recent testimonials re the service "Staff - friendly, welcoming and full of fun, with a smile for all", it's service such as this that encourages people to return and is the recipe for success for the business. I would like to congartulate Justin and his team on the great work that they are doing at the Victoria and I look forward to making a trip out east shortly to try out the Rozel Bay.

John Morton who heads Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stated the obvious when he said "With regard to the border, there's a difference between the border being sealed and the border being secure." But he went off the trolley when he went on to say, "Crime is a part of life here in the United States and other countries. The beauty of our country is we have a very strong system of the rule of law." No one thinks the U.S. or any other country is crime free but he doesn't seem to realize that illegal aliens and their supporters, like Dee Perez-Scott, regularly denigrate the rule of law. If we had a strong system of the rule of law, ICE would not be focusing solely on drug and weapons trafficking but would be a strong advocate for vigorous and continuous internal enforcement based on E-verification to deny illegal aliens the opportunity for employment that brings them here. There may be more Border Patrol and ICE agents but they are not getting the job done because they are hamstrung by the rules of engagement and the policy directives from above.
Morton said, "The border is as secure as I've ever seen it in 20 years in law enforcement." That's almost laughable. If it was secure, we would not have 12-20 million illegal aliens in this country with more coming in every day. Our borders can never be secure until we identify, detain, and quickly and involuntarily repatriate illegal aliens with the admonition that if they return they will do hard time, two years for the first repeat offense, five for the next, and ten for the third. They say immigration courts are clogged with cases. There is a simple solution to that problem: issue a rigid set of criteria for immigration decisions, swear in justices of the peace to handle all but the most difficult political asylum cases, and require the immigration decision to be made within 24 hours with only a week for an appeal.
Some say there are too many illegal aliens to even consider such a major and costly effort. That is total nonsense. The aliens are better off now than they were when they came here so they and their employers can certainly pay their way back to their homelands. Eight million ethnic Germans were relocated back to the German heartland from the eastern territories in less than a year in 1945-6 using a transportation system heavily damaged during the war. What is lacking is the political will on the part of the Obama administration. To say that they believe in the rule of law is a joke as long as they leave millions of illegals roaming the streets in America.
One commenter said, "What planet did this moron (Morton) come from! "Read Texas Farmers Under Attack at the Border" miles and miles of open border with no fencing!
Another added, "My son was a member of Customs and then was with ICE when Homeland was formed. He can tell some horror stories about what was/is going on at the border. He is no longer with ICE."
A third said, "I would like to see just how many times this guy has ever been to the border. He's too busy in Washington trying to do the Obama spin that he doesn't have a clue what is going on down here. I live in Texas and immigration is an issue. My daughters have had terrible times trying to get jobs and when they do the wages are horrible because of immigration. If you could see the emergency rooms at all the hospitals it looks like you're in a third world country. The schools are even worse. No wonder America is broke."
"Considering that we've had virtually ZERO border security for the past 20 years, it isn't really a consolation to know that we a tiny bit now."
Working for logical immigation reform based on a stable population, a recognition of the finite nature of our natural resources and the adverse impact of continued growth on our quality of life, standard of living, national interest, character, language, sovereignty and the rule of law. Pushing back and countering the disloyal elements in American society and the anti-American rhetoric of the leftwing illegal alien lobbies. In a debate, when your opponents turn to name calling, it's a good sign you've already won.

Green Tara
From my heart I bow to Divine Mother Tara, essence of love and compassion,
the most precious objects of refuge gathered into one.
From now until I reach enlightenment,
hook me with your great love and kindness to liberate me.
~ Lama Lobsang Tenpey Gyaltsen
Just as most of us worldly beings feel affinity for our mothers and rely on their constant, compassionate help, we are naturally attracted to Tara's female appearance. We can relax in her presence and look at ourselves honestly, knowing that Tara will not judge, reject, or abandon us due to our shortcomings. Like a mother, she sees her child's potential — in this case, our spiritual potential or Buddha-nature — and wants to nurture it.
Her female form represents wisdom, the essential element needed to remove the ignorance that misconstrues reality and is the root of all our suffering. Women tend to have quick, intuitive, and comprehensive understanding. Tara represents this quality and consequently can help us to develop such wisdom. Thus she is called "the mother of all the Buddhas," for the wisdom realizing reality that she embodies gives birth to full enlightenment, the state of freedom from self-grasping ignorance and its attendant, self-centeredness.
Green Tara's color symbolizes activity and success. Although she possesses the same qualities as other manifestations of the omniscient ones, she specifically embodies the enlightening influence by which the Buddhas act to benefit and guide us. In addition, she represents the purified aspect of the element of air, which activates growth in the world.
On a lotus and moon seat
Immaculate as an utpala,
Your body blue-green coloured, graceful,
You hold an utpala –
homage to You!
~ Atisha
Her green color represents success — in worldly affairs as well as in spiritual development — giving us a sense of delight, hope, and optimism. Aspirations made in the presence of Green Tara may easily grow into results, and requests made to her may be quickly actualized.
Tara's body is made of light. Transparent, it appears and yet is intangible, like a rainbow, mirage, or illusion. Her outstretched right foot indicates her readiness to step into the realms of suffering, confused beings in order to help us. Her left leg is tucked in, demonstrating that she has full control over her subtle inner energies. No matter whether others praise or blame her, harm or help her, her energy does not become unbalanced and she does not lose her equanimity.
Tara's right hand in the gesture of granting sublime realizations shows that by following the path we can attain these realizations ourselves. This gesture is also called the gesture of generosity, symbolizing her willingness to give material possessions, love, protection, and the Dharma to all beings according to their needs and their dispositions. Her left hand is in the gesture of the Three Jewels, with the thumb and ring finger touching and the other three fingers stretched upward. These three fingers represent the Three Jewels. They indicate that by entrusting ourselves to these three objects of refuge and practicing their teachings, we can actualize the unity of compassionate bliss and wisdom, which is symbolized by the joining of her ring finger and thumb.
O, mama of the three times' Victors,
you whose great love for all sentient ones
is like a mother's love for her child!
Through your affection,
the two obscurations of wayfarers and myself are cleansed
and the two accumulations are perfected.
In all lifetimes,
the eight or sixteen perils' discord is pacified
and practice, merit, spiritual teachings and endowment increase.
Fully released from the iron shackles of self-grasping,
may my altruistic intent and benefit to beings
become inseparable from yours!
Accomplish whatever petitions are made by disciples endowed with samaya!
~ Garchen Rinpoche
Tara's right hand and foot are both extended outward, emphasizing her compassionate activity — the method aspect of the path to enlightenment. Her left hand and foot, which are closer to her, indicate her imperturbable inner peace, gained through practicing the wisdom aspect of the path.
In each hand, Tara holds the stems of utpala, or blue lotus, flowers. On her left side, one utpala is a bud, one is blossoming, and one is fully open. The bud represents the Buddhas of the future, the fully opened lotus symbolizes the Buddhas of the past, and the blossoming lotus is the Buddhas of the present.
On Tara's crown is Amitabha Buddha, peaceful and smiling. As Tara's spiritual mentor, he represents the importance of having a fully qualified, wise, and compassionate guide on the path. By keeping her mentor on her crown, Tara is ever mindful of the teachings she has received from him. This reminds us to do the same. While we ordinary beings decorate ourselves with external ornaments to look beautiful, Tara's inner beauty — her tranquility, compassion, and wisdom — are her real adornments. Her dazzling jeweled necklaces, armlets, anklets, earrings, and tiara indicate that the six far-reaching attitudes or paramitas — generosity, ethics, patience, joyous effort, concentration, and wisdom — are fully integrated in her being and decorate her every activity.
Tara is also adorned with three syllables: om at her crown chakra, ah at her throat chakra, and hum at her heart chakra. These three syllables embody respectively, a Buddha's physical, verbal, and mental faculties. They also represent respectively the Sangha, Dharma, and Buddha Jewels of refuge. These syllables serve as subtle objects upon which a meditator may focus; they also remind us of the qualities we are developing within ourselves as a result of practicing the Buddha's teaching. In this way, each characteristic of Tara's form illustrates the path to Buddhahood and its resultant qualities.
Her mantra is OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA.

Academic Gown
The academic gown is considered as one of the prominent items during the graduation ceremony. Furthermore, it is also the most popular item associated to commencement exercise. Considering such general exposure, failure to wear it correctly provides no room in the occasion. The graduation robe or dress as otherwise referred to is simply worn similar to that of a regular jacket. One just needs to take the act of wearing a robe to that of wearing a big jacket only that it comes with wide sleeves. Moreover, the wearer should make sure that the shoulder areas of the robe are place accurately to its shoulders pads as an assurance that the robe will stay in place. Most robes come with fasteners at its front region and also, most academic dress is worn with the front region being closed. Thus, one should know if its robe is intended to be worn with open or closed front area.

The academic headpiece generally comes in one size. But nonetheless, there are also rules included to right way of wearing it. Academic caps usually include attached tassels to it. Before the start of the ceremony, these tassels are placed in the left area of the cap, indicating that they are not official graduates yet. During the ceremony, after the candidates are officially declared as graduates, they now turn their tassels on the right side of their caps.
Lescapsgown focuses on creating the perfect graduation ceremony for you.

Congrats to Amy for winning the summer romper!
It was about 6 months ago that I first heard of Betsy,
the owner and founder of Honey Stick Threads.
She had been selling some items on VarageSale
and I purchased a slouchy toque and matching scarf.
Immediately, I fell in love with her product.
Adorable fabrics,
cute patterns and
quality product for a fair price.
Supporting another local mom is always an added bonus!
Everywhere I went Jane was getting complimented
on her adorable accessories.
I happily told them about
Betsy and passed along her information.
Betsy was kind of enough to share with us their journey
of creating and starting Honey Stick Threads.
Read on below to see what they are all about!
"I started Honey Stick Threads a few months after I had my daughter Lily. I've always had a passion for sewing and creating, but when Lil' came along, I decided that I wanted to make clothes for her. I saw so many hip little outfits on Instagram and I thought, "I can do this, I should start making my own stuff!" and I decided to give it a go.
I sourced some cute fabrics online and did a lot of research on working with different materials. Soon after I was on my way, whipping up cute Harem pants with matching infinity scarves. Almost as soon as I started making the clothes, people started showing interest in what I was doing. I was urged by family members and friends to try and sell my creations. I began by selling my clothes on VarageSale, and eventually branched out and started my own website.
Sewing is something that I do as a creative outlet, but I also find that it's therapeutic for me. I get a great deal of satisfaction out of fitting all of the scraps together to make a complete piece. I'm always looking to see what else I can offer. It all started with Harem pants and infinity scarves, but now I make shorties, hoodies, headbands and a plethora of other kinds of clothing. I also have some great ideas looming for autumn.
My partner and I have also discussed the possibility of silk screening our own t-shirt and pattern ideas. Justin is a graphic designer and illustrator who has already created some prints for Honey Stick Threads. Namely the pattern for my Organic Cotton Fruity Shorties and the "Big Poppa" t-shirt. We've been brainstorming some fun t-shirt and pattern ideas that should be coming out soon.
I like to say that I dress vicariously through my daughter. I make her clothing with prints that I myself, would totally rock. I love leopard prints and other wacky stuff, so when something jumps out at me the urge to create something takes over. I also follow trends and try to make them available. Really, I aim to please. If someone has something in mind, I will hunt a pattern down that suits both their idea and my style.
I'm quite happy with all of the local business that I'm getting, but I like to push myself and am looking to branch out further. I hope to be a part of local markets in the near future. Also I am planning on selling to the United States soon as well.
It's hard to say where Honey Stick Threads will be in 5 years. Justin and I have plans to expand our family and I'm not sure how I'd handle the workload with two little people in tow. I currently work full time outside of the home. I sew at nap-time and after my daughter is in bed. In the meantime however, I'm going to keep doing what I love and see where it takes me. I advertise mainly on Social Media (Instagram and Facebook), but most of my business has been generated by word-of-mouth and I'm very appreciative of that."

Cameras have long mimicked the optics of the eye. Both collect and focus light with a convex outer lens. However, cameras have a shortcoming: They typically focus the image onto a flat surface. Whether this surface is covered with film or a digital sensor, distortion results from the projecting of light from a curved lens onto the flat surface. The insertion of additional lenses reduces the distortion, but this adds to camera weight and cost. Our eye with its hemispherical shape has no such problem.

As noted at MTV News on Friday, Pink has given birth to a baby girl on Thursday in Los Angeles, her very first child, with her 35-year old professional motocross racer husband, Carey Hart.
"We are ecstatic to welcome our new beautiful healthy happy baby girl, Willow Sage Hart. She's gorgeous, just like her daddy." Pink tweets on Thursday.
Pink, 31, Alecia Beth Moore in real life, met Carey Hart in 2001 during the X Games in Philadelphia; and got married on January 7, 2006 in Costa Rica.
Apparently, the couple split in February 2008 as announced by Pink, but they reunited in February 2010 after their divorce did not push through and admitted that they still love each other.
Back in November, Pink announced on the "The Ellen DeGeneres" show about her being pregnant and admitted of having a miscarriage earlier.

Microsoft has announced the resignation of its head of acquisitions, Bruce Jaffe, two days after the company bid US$1.2 billion for enterprise search expert Fast Search & Transfer. Jaffe will retire on Feb. 29, the company said.
Jaffe joined the company's corporate strategy group in 1995, moving on to become chief financial officer of its online services business MSN before taking the role of corporate vice president for corporate development, where he was responsible for the company's acquisitions and joint ventures strategies.
"Bruce's contribution to Microsoft's growth is much appreciated and we wish him well in his next endeavor," the company said in a statement.
It's not clear yet what that next endeavor will be, although some reports say he is looking for a more entrepreneurial role in a smaller company.
Jaffe, who has a Masters in Business Administration from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, lives near Seattle.
As architect of Microsoft's acquisitions strategy, Jaffe presided over its $6 billion offer for online advertising company aQuantive, a few weeks after Google bid $3.1 billion for DoubleClick.
Microsoft representatives would not say what role Jaffe played in the company's bid for Norwegian company Fast Search & Transfer, revealed Tuesday.

Distorted maternal mental representations and atypical behavior in a clinical sample of violence-exposed mothers and their toddlers
Document Type
Publication Date
Objective: To determine whether maternal violence-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), reflective functioning (RF), and/or quality of mental representations of her child predicts maternal behavior within a referred sample of mothers exposed to interpersonal violence and their children (aged 8–50 months). Method: A total of 41 dyads completed 2 videotaped visits including measures of maternal mentalrepresentations and behavior. Results: Negative and distorted maternal mental representations predicted atypical behavior (Cohen's d > 1.0). Although maternal PTSD and RF impacted mental representations, no significant relationships were found between PTSD, RF, and overall atypical caregiving behavior. Severity of maternal PTSD was, however, positively correlated with the avoidant caregiving behaviorsubscale. Conclusions: Maternal mental representations of her child are useful risk indicators that mark dysregulation of trauma-associated emotions in the caregiver.

Colgate white one review
This is a bit of an odd review but it's something I thought I'd share my thoughts on it
Colgate max white one RRP £3.99
What they say"Colgate Max White One Active toothpaste with White Accelerator micro-crystals contains ingredients similar to those used by dentists. Colgate Max White One Active toothpaste has a powerful stain removal & tartar prevention formula helps teeth with high stain levels to get one shade whiter in one week."
What I say
Does it get my teeth whiter? I don't see a big difference and I've used a lot of whitening tooth pastes. For a while I had the best one which worked and I got many compliments on my white teeth it was Crest but dilemma, they stopped making it. :( It also makes we wonder why..
Anyway, When I tried a sample of this white one tooth paste I loved it. It was strong and I felt it was going to work very well. Since getting a bigger tube whilst on sale it's not as powerful as the sample I had. I feel now that it's just a tooth paste and not a whitener my teeth feel no whiter than normal and you can always tell after brushing if you think it works.
My search for a replacement whitening tooth paste continues...
Have you found a whitening tooth paste you love?
8 comments:
I have tried this as well and I didn't see any difference - I am currently using the pearl drops beauty teeth serum and it seems to help :)ReplyDelete
I love oral b 3d toothpaste xxReplyDelete
ide love it if you checked out my mac lipstick giveaway :) 1stepclosereveryday.blogspot.co.uk
In my experience whitening toothpaste doesn't work but I would recommend trying whitening mouthwash, you have to use it religiously though. Good luck! I hope you can stop by my blog anytime!ReplyDelete
I can never tell the difference between toothpastes! but I like the ones with mouthwash beads :)ReplyDelete

Stelter suggested that Stossel's scheduled appearance in front of a conservative group is a rare foray of a journalist into a partisan political event that vindicates the White House's attacks on Fox News.
John Stossel, the newest star of the Fox Business Network, is also starring this week at a series of events orchestrated by opponents of a Democratic health care overhaul.Stelter put the burden on Fox News to justify not being attacked by the full force of the White House:
On Thursday Mr. Stossel is expected to speak at three forums hosted by Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group, in three cities. The group's Web site says Mr. Stossel and others will "debate solutions and discuss the dangers of government-forced health care" at the forums.
The unusual appearances come at a time when the sister network to Fox Business, the Fox News Channel, is facing fierce criticism from the White House and its allies. In recent days critics have leaped on Mr. Stossel's speaking engagements as the latest evidence of conservative bias on the part of Fox, a unit of the News Corporation. The Obama administration has cast the network as a part of the political opposition.
Most news organizations discourage participation at partisan political events. In its publicity material for the forums, Americans for Prosperity identifies Mr. Stossel a "veteran journalist." But Fox says Mr. Stossel is not a part of its hard news division; rather, he is an analyst and host.
In its responses to the White House and other critics, Fox has said there are differences between its journalists and its opinion program hosts. But the Obama administration and others have asserted that those lines are regularly blurred.
Greg Sargent, a blogger for the Web site whorunsgov.com, a Washington Post Company Web site, wrote last week that Mr. Stossel would be effectively working "as a political activist" by attending the forums, and said it "doesn't seem like great timing" given Fox's feud with the White House.
Mark Feldstein, an associate professor of journalism at the George Washington University, said the relationship between Mr. Stossel and a partisan group was "pretty shameful" by traditional journalistic standards. "But I guess we're no longer in an age of tradition," he said.
One journalist not mentioned: Former Times Supreme Court reporter Linda Greenhouse, who marched in a pro-choice rally in April 1989. According to a contemporaneous story in the Washington Post, Greenhouse was unaware Times policy states that "staff members avoid employment or any undertakings, obligations, relationships or investments that create or appear to create a conflict of interest with their professional work for the Times."
And, in June 2006, Greenhouse ripped the Bush administration to shreds at a Harvard address, claiming "our government had turned its energy and attention away from upholding the rule of law and toward creating law-free zones at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Haditha, and other places around the world. And let's not forget the sustained assault on women's reproductive freedom and the hijacking of public policy by religious fundamentalism."
Yet Greenhouse continued to cover abortion issues for the Times until her retirement in 2008.

The Ukrainian foreign Ministry sharply reacted to today's actions of Russia
The foreign Ministry of Ukraine believe this document is a Testament to the complete disregard of international law by the aggressor state.
The Russian law which facilitates the obtaining of citizenship and residence permit in Russia for Ukrainians, discriminare their rights. This reports the press service of the foreign Ministry of Ukraine.
"We regard this step of the state-aggressor as a continuation of legal discrimination and infringement of rights of citizens of Ukraine who owing to various circumstances live or work in the territory of Russia, and also in the occupied territory of Ukraine. In this regard, we call upon the citizens of Ukraine not to succumb to such provocations and once again warn against the implementation of trips in the Russian Federation", – said in a statement.
Ukrainian diplomats called the decision of the authorities of the Russian Federation "the evidence of the complete neglect on the part of the aggressor state of international law and the sovereignty of other States", stressing that the rejection of the citizenship of Ukraine in the form of a notarized statement renouncing the Ukrainian citizenship to the authority of the country of nationality are insignificant in essence and content.
"According to the current legislation of Ukraine, the only document certifying the fact of termination of the citizenship of Ukraine as a way out of him, and his loss is a corresponding decree of the President of Ukraine", – reminded the Agency.
The foreign Ministry assured that in case of violation of the rights and interests of Russian citizens of Ukraine will receive all necessary consular support in the diplomatic and consular institutions of Ukraine.
As reported Корреспондент.nettoday the President of Russia Vladimir Putin has signed a law that simplifies the procedure of granting Ukrainians Russian citizenship.
To obtain Russian passports to Ukrainians need only notarized in Russia, the statement that they renounce their Ukrainian citizenship.
A similar statement will be sent to Ukraine, but there are no documents on the confirmation of renunciation of citizenship is no longer required. But in taking Russian citizenship will have to swear the oath.
For two years citizens of Ukraine were six thousand Russians

She doesn't quite skateboard down steep hills or listen to thrash metal locked away in her bedroom but, like a teenager squabbling to her parents for the next Nokia, she seeks out new experiences with youthful aplomb.

The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl's Dream of Becoming a Grandmaster
Scribe Publications, 2012 - Chess - 232 pages
The true story of a female prodigy from the Ugandan slum of Katwe.
Phiona Mutesi sleeps in a mud hut with her mother and siblings, and struggles to find a meal each day. She is also one if the best chess players in the world.
One day in 2005, while searching for food, nine-year-old Phiona followed her brother to a dusty veranda where she met Robert Katende, a refugee who had also grown up in the slams. Robert hand improbable aspiration: to empower Katwe's kids thought chess Đ game so foreign that there was no word for it in their native language. Robert taught the game each day. At first the children came for the free porridge, but many grew to love chess, a game that Đ as in their daily lives Đ meant navigating obstacles. One talented young girl stood out: Phiona.
By the age of 11, Phiona was Uganda's junior champion; at 15, she was the national champion. In 2010, she travelled to Siberia to compete in the Chess Olympiad, the world's most prestigious team-chess event. Phiona's dream is to become a chess grandmaster. But to reach that goal, she must grapple with life in one of the world's most unstable countries Đ a place where girls are taught to be mothers, not dreamers, and the threats of AIDS, kidnapping, and starvation loom constantly.
Like Katherine Boo's Behind the Beautiful Forevers and Gayle Tzemach Lemmon's The Dressmaker of Khair Khama. This is an intimate and heart-rending portrait of human life on the urban fringers in the 21st century.

Bobcats grab first win in BostonMar 22, 2007 - 3:53 AM BOSTON (Ticker) -- The Boston Celtics turned in a lethargic effort as the Charlotte Bobcats picked up their first win here in franchise history.
The Celtics scored 31 points in the first quarter, but managed a total of 30 points in the second half as the Bobcats rallied for a 92-84 victory, their first in Boston in three years of existence.
Raymond Felton scored 19 points, including six in the fourth quarter, as Charlotte (26-43) outscored Boston, 30-13, in the fourth quarter to complete the milestone win. Matt Carroll added eight in the final period and finished with 15 points.
"We just said let's make this run," Felton said, "See what happens and try to get this win. Everybody rotated the way we're supposed to. We came up with loose balls. We just came together as a team."
"Once we made one or two (shots) we got some confidence," Carroll said. "Coming down in transition we moved the ball well and we got some open looks. I thought we played a little harder in the second half. We kind of turned up the intensity. We were scrapping a little but more, we went to a smaller lineup and got all over the court."
Boston held a 54-39 lead at the half as Paul Pierce and Al Jefferson got off to hot starts, combining for 34 points on 13-of-18 shooting before intermission.
However, Pierce sat out the entire fourth quarter after taking a hard hit to the face at the end of the third. He finished with 23 points and Jefferson had 22 points and 11 rebounds.
Pierce suffered a bruise below his left eye and a cut to the inside of his mouth. He is not expected to miss any games.
"That guy is terrific," Charlotte coach Bernie Bickerstaff said about Pierce. "Even if you're bumping him and pushing him he'll just shoot over you. The guy's a great, great player and he's the type that just elevates everyone on his team."
With the Celtics (20-48) clinging to a 71-62 lead, Charlotte shot over 62 percent (10-of-16) in the fourth quarter while Boston went just 5-of-22, including 0-of-5 from the arc. The Bobcats ripped off runs of 18-0 and 31-5 between the third and fourth quarters.
"They don't surrender," Bickerstaff said about his team. "The guys that we put in the game are ready to play. That's what we talked about at halftime. We'll give the starting group an opportunity but then the other guys should be ready."
The Bobcats have now won two games in a row to move 5 1/2 ahead of the Celtics for the worst record in the Eastern Conference.
"I was not tanking the game," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "I was not throwing the game or anything like that because I've heard all those questions. I got to the point early in the fourth quarter when I turned to my coaches and said that we're going to win or lose with this group (the second unit).
"I got to the point where I said what do you get if we win this game if we put Paul (Pierce) and Al (Jefferson) back in. What would we get out of this game. At some point, those other guys have to be able to play a little bit. I said screw it, they're staying in. There was no other message, hold the lead and win the game or lose the lead and show us what you don't have."

In one of the most wealthy countries on Terra people are crying out about their oppression. A segment of the American population wants to send the world a dire warning that the early steps being taken now will lead to a massive shift in their rights and freedoms and likely will lead to a Holocaust style slaughter in the near future. All of this is because of their religion and social values. Some in this group say the horrors they have suffered can no longer be tolerated in any civilized country. What are the actions taken by these oppressors against this group? Are these people being forced to wear yellow crosses on their clothing? Are their book stores and bakeries being vandalized? Are their women being raped in the streets and their houses of worship desecrated and burnt to the ground?
No, no they aren't because the group of people I am talking about are America conservative Christians. Over the past weekend a movie debuted in 736 theaters across America called, "Persecuted," telling the story of an evangelist framed for the murder of a teenage girl and the government conspiracy to rid America of Christianity. That's it. If you've read the last sentence you've seen the whole movie. The film stars Bruce Davison, Dean Stockwell, Fred Thompson and Gretchen Carlson. Yes, that Gretchen Carlson the Fox News host. Rumor has it that since shooting Stockwell is still showering trying to get the yuck of the poor plot off him.
The film grossed a whopping $851,391 over the weekend but that didn't stop Christian Toto at Breitbart from writing an article touting the strong performance the movie had "in the Heartland." Strong performance? The movie took in $1156.78 per theater which begs a serious question. If this is the type of fare conservatives say they want from Hollywood, why don't they patronize these films? Toto says in his Breitbart.com post, "Another film eager to entertain right of center audiences also made noise over the weekend. Persecuted tells the story of an evangelist (James Remar) framed for murder, a plot tied to a warped alliance between faith and the government."
Made noise? Well I guess a whimper is a noise. And the "strong in the heartland" comment? Toto explains that the movie outperformed new releases like "Sex Tape" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" in Cincinnati, Wichita, Philadelphia, Memphis, Columbus and Wilkes-Barre. I'm not a dempgrapher or a geography expert but since when were Wilkes-Barre and Philadelphia in the "heartland?"
So where exactly did Christian Toto get his theater data? Well this article posted at News9.com the digital arm of the Oklahoma City CBS affiliate, posted an article which quotes a PRNewswrire release from One Media LLC the film's production company. What Toto left out was how universally panned the film was by just about every film critic. The New York Times, Hollywood Reporter and Variety all lambasted "Persecuted" with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 0% rating.

Late Monday I stumbled upon the jock, geek, criminal and the rest of the gang arriving at school for detention. There's no law that you have to watch The Breakfast Club when it pops up on cable TV — it's not Shawshank Redemption or anything — but it's hard to look away, at least until the gang starts smoking pot and we're exposed to Emilio Estevez, who had apparently been secretly injected with cocaine before filming.
The movie came out eight years before I graduated but it's still obviously a classic for people in my generation, though my sister's Class of '87 probably loved it even more. Everyone could identify with the characters, right? Whether you were a star athlete or the prom queen or an outcast, there was something for everyone. And I suppose that's true.
But like so many other classic movie and TV moments involving high schools there was an aspect of The Breakfast Club that had no connection to our reality in the burgs of Janesville, Waldorf and Pemberton. Namely: A Saturday, nine-hour detention?
