Hasidic Neighborhood Exposed As Top Section 8 Beneficiary Pushing Blacks & Latinos Out of Brooklyn
There are many misconceptions as to which communities actually benefit the most from public assistance and federal subsidies such as Section 8 and welfare. This Daily News expose sheds some light on the answer to that question and it definitely isn't the Black and Latino communities many Republicans love to accuse of getting all the "free hand outs"! Check it out below and let us know what you think….
The annual spring ritual marks the first day of Passover in the Hasidic Jewish enclave of South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where daily life is built on ancient laws and religious devotion. But the insular community depends on outside money to survive — federal subsidies to help many low-income Hasidic families cover the rent.
New York City's 123,000 vouchers make this the largest Section 8 voucher program in the country. Reluctant landlords and rising rents are making vouchers nearly impossible to use in many areas of the city. Tenants, especially larger families, are often relegated to the edges of Brooklyn and the Bronx. That's why this cluster of Hasidic households stands out.
The neighborhood is home to one of the highest concentrations of Section 8 housing vouchers in the city, according to federal data analyzed by WNYC and the Daily News. In several of its census tracts, Section 8 tenants compose more than 30% of residents, a level reached only in scattered pockets of the Bronx.
The difference: In Brooklyn, the Section 8 tenants live smack in the middle of one of the city's hottest real estate market.
The juxtaposition happened over years, not overnight. Leaders leveraged longstanding political connections to win favorable zoning changes. Local developers bought and built to meet the need. Residents organized to get in line for rental subsidies. Block by block, the community created a de facto free market, affordable housing plan.
It's only possible in a tight-knit community where the haves help the have-nots, said Rabbi David Niederman, a community leader and local power broker.
"We have people keeping the price lower," said Niederman, executive director of United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg. "Even a person living on Section 8 can pay the monthly rentals."
Skeptics suggest an off-the-books economy has underpinned development within this community. Many residents bank informally and property is regularly swapped between family members and holding companies.
"There's a cash economy and things are not done strictly according to law," said Marty Needleman, executive director of Brooklyn Legal Services and a community advocate who has clashed with the Hasidim for years over fair-housing issues.
All sides agree the community is clamoring for affordable housing, a demand fueled by one of the highest birthrates in the city. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish couples typically marry in their late teens and have many children.
This Hasidic community has mastered the art of acquiring the highly coveted but hard-to-get Section 8 homes….
Vouchers are particularly concentrated into what some call "New Williamsburg," where the Hasidim have expanded into formerly industrial areas and historically black and Latino Bedford-Stuyvesant.
In the late 1990s, Hasidic developers quietly began to petition the city to let them convert old factories and warehouses — bought cheap — into housing.
Building by building, the Board of Standards and Appeals, a little known quasi-judicial agency, granted the zoning variances in Williamsburg and Bed-Stuy.
An analysis by Brooklyn Legal Services found the board approved buildings containing more than 500 apartments between 1995 and 2000, more approvals than any other area in the city.
In 1999, Legal Services unsuccessfully sued to stop the conversions, arguing the standards board was subverting zoning rules and violating anti-discrimination laws. The suit also claimed the large apartments were designed for Hasidic families and were advertised only in Yiddish-language newspapers, leaving black and Latino residents out in the cold. – via dailynews
If you live in New York, don't watch FOX News or have any type of awarenesss about you, this should come as no surprise. This article is mainly for those who love to stereotype Blacks and Latinos as being leeches of the system. If you'd like to read the rest of this eye-opening article, click HERE

Summer is here and with it brings sweet treats of ice cold ice cream and popsicles to cool off from the summer heat! On a hot day you may find my eyes gazing towards the ice cream section with memories of refreshing sweet treats in the summer time. I'll check the ingredients and frown but remember I can make my own!
You won't need a lot of fancy equipment, not even an ice cream maker! Just a blender or a food processor and this dessert is a sweet possibility.
The secret? Frozen Bananas! My soul mate introduced me to these gems! I had never thought of freezing bananas and frankly didn't keep them around very much because they ripened so quickly. When I started dating Jerry he said his favorite meal to start the day with was a frozen shake with frozen bananas, mixed berries and protein. It sounded healthy enough, I gave it a try and have been HOOKED every since! At first it was hard on the weekends....no pancakes? Waffles? You really don't want a homemade breakfast? "Nope, just a shake" and soon it became a very healthy habit we continue to follow to this day meaning 99% of the time you'll find frozen banana gems in our freezer.
Simply break the banana into pieces. Opt to add mixed berries using a 1:1 ratio and enjoy a superb treat!
For a fun alternative pour mixture into a Popsicle mold, freeze and enjoy as a summer treat!
Enjoy this incredibly easy, minimalistic, raw, vegan, gluten-free dessert, snack and treat!
Lay back knowing it's made of fresh fruit bursting with:
I hope you enjoy this super fun and absolutely delicious treat bound to be enjoyed by all ages any time of the year!
Best wishes for a vibrant healthy and happy week!
PS - Aren't you loving the sunsets this time of year? Here is a picture from the other night. Not the best shot but look at that SKY!

This one is always fun and stimulates lots of participation while teaching observation and memory skills.
Need - winter hats, scarfs, gloves, mittens, boots
Game - Chose one child to be a SNOWMAN. This child will chose the items he wants to wear as a snowman while the other children hide their eyes. Next, have the children look at their snowman, then close their eyes again. This time the snowman changes somthing he is wearing and ask the others to point out what has changed. (The more things the snowman wears the harder the game so you can adapt this to whatever skill or age level you have.)
Options - This can be done with any dress-up clothes such as a fancy outfit and changing shoes or necklaces or for uniforms like a fireman and adding or taking away different items.
Lots of fun for indoor play!

On 27th October 2007 The Midlands Textile Forum had its official launch. The aim of the group was to provide a supportive network for members and a strong platform to showcase the wide breadth of textile arts within the region.
After several years of successful exhibitions, group visits, two symposiums and many developmental meetings it was decided in 2010 to become a Forum which would primarily be an exhibiting group.
Our aim is to promote textiles across the Midlands and to encourage textile arts through a range of textile events.

The marriage between spoken word and music has become a popular and instrumental way for poets to showcase their versification, and Tantra does this deftly on her new, unceremonious CD, Sacred.
Although her voice is genteel and polished, and her poetry is persuasively pure and sophisticated, there are many moments when this smooth voiced poetry-chanteuse comes off as a gutsy powerhouse who is unyielding to settling for anything less than what she deserves as the goddess she declares to be. Impressively, she manages to achieve this queendom without any quintessential hardcore sassiness or deviation from her femininity like most women do to make the point of their strength and independence. For instance, her head bopper, "Build Me A Man" is a soft-spoken, unbending imploration over an infectious beat that calls forth a constant urge to wine low to the floor, as Tantra stipulates what kind of man she prefers. She conveys her demands convincingly as a lyricist by harmonizing the chorus in between her uncompromising requisitions. It happens to be one of my favorite tracks. "Fallin" is a breathy ballad about the spirituality and infatuation of falling in love in which Tantra sensually recites as if she is at the crowning-point of having a climax with the experience. She graciously educates on her declaration "A Poem For Gordon" written as a dedication to Gordon Parks. "Gold" and "My Drum" written for Coretta Scott King--but also venerates other historical heroes--are fast, danceable ditties that could successfully become favorites in the deep house clubs where flower children and bohemian dance soldiers seek refuge. "One Love," Tantra's offering for New Orleans and the Hurricane Katrina devastation, comes off as if she is an activist standing at a podium before an audience of thousands, politically and powerfully unmasking the government's conspiracy and disturbing neglect of a community in distress. Delivered over a heavy baseline arrestingly calling one to stop and listen, Tantra throws her lyrics determined and firm, yet gracefully womanlike, and you hear her disdain for the mistreatment of this tragedy. Her encore "Dreams At Stake" is a mid-tempo consciousness poem that fades out the album with a last thought for the listener to consider how imperative change is needed if people want to really make their dreams come true.
I'd say in comparison to her previous albums, Tantra has managed to draw listeners closer to who she is on Sacred. There is a diverse dexterity shown in this production that merits an expanded credibility to her as a performance and spoken word artist, and she is unequivocally and believably goddess incarnate on this collection of music and prose.
Tantra is a writer and performance poet. She is the author of alifepoeminprogress, and has completed five CDs. Her website is www.TantrasMasterWordPlay.com, and she can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Occupancy: -5.4% to 51.6%
- Average daily rate (ADR): -1.4% to US$131.56
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): -6.7% to US$67.90
Negative results were attributable to a comparison with the week that included New Year's Eve in 2016.

When deciding on different forms of child daycare, there are many important things to consider. I struggled for quite awhile with my daycare decision when I went back to work after my first child but settled on a daycare center. I like the laws that the government has in place that public daycare centers have to follow, as well as the accountability that the different daycare providers have to display to their colleagues and employers.
Our children are precious to us, there's no denying that. When we have to leave them with someone while we work or go to school, we want to be sure we're leaving them with qualified, competent people. Here are some child daycare dos and don'ts to consider when thinking about where your child will stay.
Do you have a family member that can provide daycare while you're at work or school? This would probably be the optimum choice if it is available. You already know that they love your child and have their best interest at heart. Your child will already know a grandparent so there won't be the regular problem of separation anxiety.
If someone in your family isn't available to care for your child you'll want to check out the other options – home daycare, daycare centers, personal nanny, or company-provided daycare if it is offered. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages.
Of course, if your employer provides a daycare facility for their employee's children, you'll want to check into it. Most likely they will have already had background checks run on each of the workers. They will also have made sure that each person involved with the children is properly trained. This may be a great option but the chances are most companies don't offer this service.
Your next option might be to hire a personal nanny. They will be able to care for your child in your home, so they won't have to be taken out of the home and exposed to other children who may be sick. The main disadvantage to this type of arrangement is that it can be costly. Finding a qualified, trained nanny also isn't an easy task, especially in smaller towns or cities.
Home daycares provide the comfort of being in a home with the structure of professional daycare centers. In general, home daycares have fewer children and have more personal attention than what is given in larger daycare centers.
Daycare centers generally have better trained staff than a home daycare center, but no matter which type of daycare you choose, always be sure every adult caring for your child is trained in first aid and CPR.
Check references for each person or child daycare center you may be considering. You obviously don't want to take chances with your child's health or well-being. References will give you a better idea about the quality and care a potential caregiver may provide.
When you've finally made your decision about daycare for your child, make several unannounced visits to ensure you're satisfied with the care of your child and others that may be under their care. The child daycare dos and don'ts are the same regardless of which type of care you choose. Remember to trust your instincts when choosing a caregiver for your little one.

c/o State Palaces, Castles and Gardens of Saxony, non Profit
Stauffenbergallee 2a
01099 Dresden
Phone: +49 351 56391 1002
You can support both the Friends of Schloesserland Sachsen as well as the »Orange Trees« project at any time and with an arbitrarily high donation.
Apart from maintenance and cultivation the orange trees require the production of special buckets. These are designed and produced according to historical examples (round buckets in the colors white and blue) and are thus characterized by a high quality.
We are happy to receive your donation beyond a patronage. Please use this donation form.
You can select a special tree, for which you take over the patronage. This tree gets a nameplate, that is created specially for you. Moreover, you will receive exclusive invitations and information.
Your donations will be used exclusively for the complex care and the cost-intensive cultivation of the orange trees. An orangeur (gardener) has been employed specially to cultivated the orange trees as an expert.
The valuable trees require closed and heated rooms in winter, thus causing high operating costs, which are covered by your donations, too.
The minimum duration of a patronage is 5 years. During this term, the patronage costs a total of 2.750 Euro. The donation can be paid annually with a contribution of at least 550 Euros. A lump sum of 2.750 Euros at the beginning of the patronage is also possible. The donation can be paid by direct debiting system, Paypal or bank transfer via our donation portal.
The patronage starts after the successful transmission of your donation.
The orange trees were assigned numbers for the documentation of care.
The visualization of the formation and numbering of the orange trees is purely abstract and serves only the selection of a tree. It does not reproduce the numerical arrangement of the orange trees at the Dresden Zwinger in 2017.
In 2013, the State Palaces, Castles and Gardens of Saxony, non profit, bought 80 bitter orange trees (Citrus aurantium) in Italy.
From the tree nursery in Ardea in the south of Rome, the trees were transferred to Grosssedlitz Baroque Garden in May 2014. Here, the valuable bitter orange trees are cultivated until their move to the Dresden Zwinger.
The return of the orange trees to the Dresden Zwinger is understood as a necessary measure for the mediation of the historical context.
The integration of the orange trees in the ambience of the Dresden Zwinger also strengthens Dresden being regarded as »the Florence on the Elbe«.
In 1710, Augustus the Strong gave the Zwinger new glory. Several hundred Italian orange trees then found their place in one of the most beautiful orangeries of Germany - the Dresden Zwinger.
For coming closer to the original purpose of the Dresden Zwinger once more, the first 80 orange trees are to be be placed in the four compartments of the Zwinger parterre in 2017.

Part 2: Creating custom devices in Octoblu
Part 3: Setting the state of an Octoblu device from a flow
Part 4: Listening to and acting on device state change in Octoblu
Part 5: Breaking values into new keys with a function node
In my last example for an Octoblu Function node I very simply took the string value from a key and using .split() broke it into new fields.
This had the dependency of a format convention for the string.
Now, what if I had an incoming array which contained that data.
And I only wanted to select certain values within each array element, and I had additional data which was nested within another array that I want to bring up a level to make it easier to evaluate later on.
To describe this differently, lets look at (an abbreviated version of) my incoming message:
"msg": {
"data": [
"uuid": "3b8a7529-b0f1-ddba9dc4cc27",
"desired_state": {
"pairing_mode": null
"last_reading": {
"connection": true,
"connection_updated_at": 1480529975.6920671,
"hub_id": "509234",
"name": "Redmond",
"locale": "en_us",
"units": {},
"created_at": 1476738922,
"triggers": []
"last_event": {
"vibration_occurred_at": null
"uuid": "4d60c8ad-b6d2-f17c5e4a1192",
"desired_state": {},
"last_reading": {
"motion_changed_at": 1480490895.7546704,
"motion_true_changed_at": 1480490698.2846074,
"temperature_changed_at": 1480530247.413451,
"connection_changed_at": 1480530247.413451
"name": "Redmond_lunch_door",
"triggers": []
"node": "5c0e3d40-bddd-6f97ce016844"
I have an incoming message (
msg) it has an array (
data) of documents. The data within each document could be different as each is a different device with different capabilities and settings.
From this point I have a couple wants: I need the name information of the sensors (from my previous post), and I need to in-nest the values of
last_reading to make it easier to handle down the line.
And, then I want to save this information to my Octoblu device (a few blog posts ago).
Lets just format on the array at this point, I don't want this to get too confusing.
//A document object to hold the sensors per room
var rooms = {};
for ( var i in (msg.data) ){
var sensor = {}; //an empty document object to populate with new key:values
sensor.name = msg.data[i].name; //the incoming name
var dotName = (msg.data[i].name).replace(/_/g,".");
//the name in dot notation instead of underscores (see the next post)
// break the device name into its descriptors (from the last post)
var descriptors = (msg.data[i].name).split('_');
case 3:
sensor.mapTitle = descriptors[0];
sensor.room = descriptors[1];
sensor.device = descriptors[2];
case 2:
sensor.mapTitle = descriptors[0];
sensor.device = descriptors[1];
case 1:
sensor.device = descriptors[0];
// un-nest last_reading to make it easier to handle later on
var last_reading = msg.data[i].last_reading;
for ( var reading in last_reading ){
sensor[reading] = last_reading[reading];
// only those devices with a room value
if ( sensor.room ) {
var room = {};
dotName = "rooms." + dotName;
rooms[dotName] = sensor;
// in the end, I want the devices of a room under the key pattern for that room
return rooms;
This is what I get back out:
"msg": {
"rooms.Redmond.lunch.motion": {
"name": "Redmond_lunch_motion",
"mapTitle": "Redmond",
"room": "lunch",
"device": "motion",
"motion": false,

"motion_changed_at": 1485539337.480442,
"motion_true_changed_at": 1485539125.483463,
"temperature_changed_at": 1485529054.5705206

February 4, 2014Millennials: Why they matter
If you're not reading The Ad Contrarian already, stop what you're doing and start reading him now. He writes better than I do and his insight about this industry is second to none (except perhaps Sell! Sell! who you also need to be reading).
But when he described millennials as "narcissistic jerk offs", I felt it was important to disagree. The Ad Contrarian thinks they're not worth bothering with until they get older. I think it's important to listen to them now. Here's why:

Every time you mention something, you're drawing a person's attention to it. So what do you think I start thinking if you tell me "There's no catch"?

old house at binondo
a sample of 19th century house at san nicolas area in binondo, where the neighborhood is lined with old houses that withstood the bombing of manila during the world war II... but sad to say it seems that these houses can no longer stood the test of time, due to neglect and/or "progress', meaning torning down the old houses to build buildings. it's just sad to see these beautiful architectures full of history being torn down and left to decay.
a closer look at the photo... it's siesta time i guess ;)

If only we were able to preserve historical buildings, we would still see how great our old architecture style was. This is also a way to show the new generations how rich our history was.

Bella's pov
"You sure you really don't want to come?" I asked him for hundredth time. "I'll miss you …"
Our biology class was going to an exposition in Seattle. But, for the first time, Edward had refused to come with me, telling me that he had decided a week before to hunt with Emmett. I didn't know why but I was kind of scared to go without him.
He sighed, sat me in his lap and kissed my forehead.
"You know I can't, I would love to go with you. I would go to hell with you." He smiled his crooked smile. God, I love this smile!
"Beside, nothing bad is going to happen. Alice had no vision yet…"
"Too bad for you, I will be all day with Mike, who knows what's going to happen, between us-"
"Nothing's going to happen." He cut me, putting his lips on mine. Thirty seconds later, he fell back on the black leather couch and closed his eyes. "I hate to leave you alone, even one day, you are so clumsy…"
"Not only am I clumsy, but all the guys are after me!" I said smiling. His eyes shot open.
"You wouldn't dare! " he asked getting serious.
"Who knows? Maybe someone can kiss me better than you can, who knows?" I said laughing.
A huge grin appeared on his face. "I don't think so…"
" You are just soooo pretentious, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen ! " I said slapping him hard on the chest, even if he didn't feel it a bit.
He smiled again and looked at the clock on the wall, a disbelieving look appeared on his face. " Do you know what time it is ?" he asked me.
" No , but you are going to tell me."
" It's two o'clock in the morning and you are going to school tomorrow ! What is going to think Charlie ? " he screamed getting up from the couch.
We looked at each other and we both ran to the door in the same time. He threw the door open for me and I ran down the stairs the first not even seeing Alice, who was reading on the last step.
I tripped on her, screaming and falling head first. She was like a stone wall. She gasped, surprised and horrified in the same time, her book falling from her hands.
" BELLA !" screamed Edward running down the stairs, at vampire speed.
He pushed away Alice, who couldn't believe what was happening, and caught me just before my head hit the ceramic ground. Completely chocked, I couldn't breath. He scooped me up as I was gasping for air.
" God ! You scared the hell out of me!" he said relieved. He looked down at me and saw that I was out of breath. "Bella? Are you okay? Talk to me!"
I couldn't even answer.
Alice went next to Edward and looked at me, definitely scared. "Bella, what is it?"
I took a deep breath and finally answered. "I – I thought I was going to die …" I whispered.
Pain filled Edward's face. "Oh Bella, honey…" He looked at me intensely. " As long as I exist , you will be safe. I promise you." He said solemnly, kissing my forehead.
" I know, you are my guarding angel…" I whispered back. He just smiled at me.
Alice was clutching her heart like if she was going to have a heart-attack (which she can't).
"When I saw you falling, I thought I had killed you during a second…" she said. "Edward, please remind me of never read in the stairs while Bella's here."
x x x
I woke up with the light blinding me. I closed my eyes back, moaning , my face on my pillow.
"Wake up sleeping beauty! "Whispered an angelic voice in my ear.
" What time is it ?" I asked the angel, my voice muffled by the pillow.
" The time to hurry, you are already ten minutes late for school." He answered.
I stood up, angry. "What the hell? Why didn't you wake me?"
A huge grin appeared on his face. "You were just so beautiful." He seemed to think a second. "Maybe also because I'm not going with you ."
I sighed and threw my pillow at him. "You are just so selfish!"
I took the first clothes I found, ran to the bathroom, put them on, brushed my teeth and ran to my truck.
Edward's pov
As soon as I heard her truck pulled off, I stood up, feeling weird. She hadn't kissed me goodbye. I sighed and jumped out of her window.
I walked slowly to my home, sad and already missing her.
I heard a scream coming from my house and rushed to it, at vampire speed. I threw the door open and saw Alice sobbing loudly in Jasper's arms, who was asking her what she saw. Rosalie was standing upstairs, holding Emmett's hand, both looking frantic. Carlisle was kneeling in front of her , asking her , like Jasper, what she saw and Esme was rubbing Alice's arm.
I ran to them, pushed away Carlisle, took Alice's face in my hands and asked her what she had seen.
"I-I saw her die…" she said sobbing heavily and looking away from me.
"WHO ?" I almost screamed.
Jasper growled. "Relax Edward!" I ignored him and asked her again.
"Their-their bus crashed a huge truck. Bella died."
Everyone gasped in horror and a fraction of second later I was out the door.
Bella's pov
I ran to the bus that was already closing it's door, ready to go without me. I knocked on it real hard and the driver opened them. I smiled to him. "Thank you."
He just nodded and after I was in, he closed them again. Mr Banner looked at me and shook his head, desperate. The only place left was on the one on the front. I crawled to the window , put my head on it and relaxed.

A Graanrepubliek update not about sales or second hand records? Yes. I actually started this out as a label. So i still do release a record every now and then. This is about the new Wolvon - ease record. Which should be out very soon. It also happens to be really good.
Wolvon. Heavy guitar walls. Loads of hair. Pounding drums and distortion. Beards. All coming together in dreamy pop melodies. Indie. Or shoegaze if that matters to you. Jumping on the bandwagon. Though I'm more intimidated by everything they have and I lack. Wolvon is a live force. So good it needs to be heard and seen. It took a little over a year and a few drummers to complete this new lp. Nine tracks of beauty, madness and brilliance by some of the best people in the game. A game which I'm honoured to play with them. Here's some tracks; https://graanrepubliekrecords.bandcamp. ... olvon-ease
From Groningen, The Netherlands. Released on April 13th 2017 by Graanrepubliek Records , Subroutine Records and Tartarus on LP/CD/CS.
labels + distros get in touch for possible trades and/or wholesale
and in other news:
The Humans the size of Microphones lp, Bismuth dlp and Slow Worries 12" are all down to the last copies.
And of course there's still loads of cheap sales and second hand records in the shop
Thank you for reading (and ordering)!!
Cheers. Mark

From sumptuous pastel plush to rugged berber tweeds, carpet is a universally popular floor covering, Broadloom has long been synonymous with comfort and luxury, but in today's eclectic room schemes, carpeting is just one of numerous soft options for a high-fashion floor.
Whether you choose a room-size loose-laid or wall to wall permanently installed over a cushion, this soft floor covering, offers many practical advantages. Broadloom's sweep of color and underfoot comfort gives any room-even sparely set ones-a more "furnished" feeling. Colors can work magic, too. For example, a light hue visually expands a small space, and a dark one cozies up a large room. Carpet in a sunny color can visually warm a room short on natural light. Before you buy carpets, study samples at home, and remember that the color of a room-size carpet will be more intense than the samples.
Advantages of Carpeting
Materials and construction give carpeting inherent virtues that may suit your decorating needs.
- Broadloom absorbs sound, an appealing feature for condominiums, town houses, and homes with high ceilings.
- Yarn construction and surface texture add soft contrast to a room's angular architecture.
- As versatile camouflage, broadloom goes over any existing floor, with no need for a new sub-floor, and it hides uneven surfaces and existing floor damage.
- Today, carpet is available with soil, stain, odor, and static-resistant features, and manufacturing techniques have increased its durability and cleanability.

"If the urge to write should ever leave me, I want that day to be my last." – Naguib Mahfouz.
"Tranmere may never be able to compete with Liverpool and Everton. They're big liners like the Queen Mary. But I see Tranmere as a deadly submarine." – Johnny King.
For as long as memory will serve, I've had two overriding passions: Tranmere Rovers Football Club, and writing.
I was born with Rovers in my blood, into a family of devout supporters. I attended my first game in 2001, aged six or seven, and instantly fell in love with the team and Prenton Park, which was passed down like a treasured heirloom, from one generation to the next.
I remember sitting on the Kop, so large and imposing, and worshipping those heroes in the white shirt. Jason Koumas was my first idol. Even to my untrained child's eye, he moved with a grace and majesty somehow different to everybody else. He was truly special. Soon thereafter, Iain Hume burst onto the scene, assuming the mantle with a startling abundance of skill. Then came Ian Goodison, an inspirational warrior, and Max Power, a local boy who lived the dream.
Ever since that first match, when the huge floodlights burned my eyes and the atmosphere touched my heart, Tranmere Rovers has been something of an obsession. The club has been one fine thread snaking through my childhood, adolescence and adult life, always there, always relevant. Through memorable cup runs and stinging relegations, I've continued to attend, because, essentially, it's my life. I couldn't imagine a world without the Rovers.
Through a vast portion of my relationship with this club, the urge to write about the experience has been omnipresent. As a kid, I began by scribbling on match programmes and writing ideal lineups for forthcoming fixtures. Before long, I graduated to writing rudimentary match reports and recaps of awaydays. Then, as a teenager, I started contributing to the programme and Give Us An R fanzine at the beginning of a career in journalism.
Thus, as a diehard Tranmere fan with a regular compulsion to write, I've been dissatisfied in recent years by the way our club is perceived in the mainstream. As I mention in the About page, Rovers are covered in a lazy, cliched manner, with people viewing it as a younger brother to Everton and Liverpool. To many outlets, a sparse match report constitutes adequate coverage of Tranmere, a small club tucked away on the sleepy Wirral.
Well, I believe there's a different way to do it, and there's a much more nuanced story to tell. Tranmere Rovers was founded eight years before Liverpool, and the club has a far more distinctive heritage than it is ever given credit for. From the discovery and development of Dixie Dean to playing in Europe with stars such as John Aldridge and Pat Nevin, this is a fascinating club with an intoxicating yet perpetually disregarded soul.
It's about time that changed.
Planet Prentonia is an attempt to show people the real character of Tranmere Rovers, in it's proper context, with an informed outlook. On this website, and the various social media platforms springing from it, I hope to shed light on Rovers' history and cultural significance, whilst also providing an alternative take on contemporary news and events.
Hopefully, this will become one of your favourite sites for Tranmere news, opinions and history. We all love Rovers with unbridled passion, and it's time to show the world why.
Welcome aboard.

Yoga Class with Christian Allaire ~Combine Deep Knowledge, Power & Humility, Connection with Each & Every One and Play.The Result? An experience integrating mind, body, and spirit that furthers leadership and personal development.
Christian's classes are always challenging but filled with mirth and wit. You'll leave invigorated, inspired, and engaged. His unflagging humor and endless good vibes are why I keep coming back!
Christian is a wonderful teacher, and I would recommend him to long time yoginis as well as to new comers. His classes are infused with positive energy, from his great rock and roll play lists, to the gentle wisdom he imparts through parables and simple affirmations. He encourages students to trust themselves and find confidence as a member of the hard working, and dedicated, yoga community that flock to his classes. I am also proud to study under a member of the US military- Christian walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to helping others be the best they can be.
Yoga with Christian is my favorite time of the day that I ALWAYS look forward to. He brings such enthusiasm and whit to an energetic practice, mixing the best music with motivational cues into a sequence that brings your yoga to a new level. Inspiring, smooth, tough and fun; It's my secret weapon in dealing with a stressful life while being as fit as I can be!
In the yoga world of sometime flakes and fakes,Christian Allaire is the real deal. My husband and I have known Christian as a private yoga and alignment instructor, a large-group yoga teacher for adults, and a small-group yoga instructor for our children and their schoolmates. Christian's own practice and form are meticulous and strong, and his ability to teach people of all ages in terms they can hear, digest and implement is highly skillful, humorous and adaptable. His classes are enjoyable and challenging for any skill level, never the same from day to day, and so much fun! I have to saythough that what I admire most about Christian is that he is a rare combination of strength and kindness, a result of what is likely an extensive journey of self-reflection in the midst of many and varied life experiences. We love Christian!!
Christian's classes always leaves me centered up and stretched out! I'm more of a runner as I travel so much for business that it's easier for me to hit the trail. However, when I'm home in the San Francisco Bay Area I LOVE a Christian Allaire Yoga sweat session laced with his sense of humor. Check out this VETERAN TURNED YOGI!
"I usually operate with lots of stress in my life, so I need a good way to relieve it. Christian is my "go to" and has the right approach to yoga for me. He mixes humor with the fundamentals and delivers an intense workout. I have probably taken over 70 classes from him over the years and enjoy each one."
I have told Christian he is my favorite yoga teacher and I can see from the other reviews that yoga is his calling. I have seen Christian grow and come into his own ... I predict he will be a world-class yoga teacher. For those of us who come to him weekly, he already is. I have taken yoga from the best of the best but what always brings me back to a class is the arch in the series leading to a sense of fullness, guidance with pacing so that there are no injuries, humor and compassion. Christian has all of the qualities that make me want to keep coming back to yoga every week. And Christian gives back by teaching yoga to Veterans who suffer from PTSD.
Christian is by far my favorite yoga teacher! His style is focused on the breath and fluid, strong movements...and set to amazing music. He greets his students with a smile and something nice to say, very welcoming. I always feel like I've had a great workout, both physically and mentally. Christian also has funny sayings during class that make me giggle. I always leave his class with a smile. Keep up the great work! You're an inspiring teacher.
Christian brings a rare joy and purity of intent to his teaching. He's a serious seeker with a playful way of bringing people into connection with their own bodies and each other. He's continually growing himself as a human and a teacher, and helping others explore their edges. He offers a strong practice, with the guarantee of laughter along the way. And he's given me pike handstand
Christian Allaire is a first rate yoga teacher and genuinely beautiful human being. He brings to each class a deep sense of sincerity and authentic caring, not only for his students but for the world as a whole. He is a master at putting together creative sequencing and reading the room so as to provide opportunities for both a fun and challenging yoga practice for all levels of yogis in attendance.Christian repeatedly demonstrates his passion and knowledge of yoga through his cueing of poses, his suggestions for modifications or advanced postures, and his assists in the poses. He offers his imagination and intuition, his humor and playfulness, and his wisdom and knowhow in every class he teaches. He fosters confidence and puts his students at ease, even in the midst of intense effort. Simply put, Christian provides a spectacularly enjoyable yoga experience, accompanied by a great playlist—-almost every time JChristian Allaire is a yoga teacher for whom people go out of their way. In fact, I schedule my work day so that I can make the 40 minute drive each way, twice a week, to attend Christian's classes. I am always inspired and enriched by what Christian shares through yoga, and grateful to know him.
Christian is one of those very rare people - he brings an endless curiosity for innovation and improvement, like he has never traveled the world or done all of the magnificent things he has throughout his career. I had the pleasure to work with Christian for several consulting projects, both domestic and internationality, where he severed as an inspirational leader to all people around him. He brings a smile to anyones face wether it be business or regular life - empowering others and brightening up every persons perspective. Yet, this only scratches the surface of the capabilities he posses.
Christian is up for the challenge. His wisdom and playfulness struck me as the right combination to take on my 11-year old son who is hampered by low tone and global weakness. With yoga as a universal language, they are writing a new chapter in my Mason's life. I am grateful for Christian's enthusiasm and worldview - he sees challenge and opportunity where many others might be discouraged or intimidated. Namaste.
Christian is one of the most positive, inspiring, well-liked individuals I have ever met. I have taken yoga classes with him and worked in groups with him in our MBA program, and I can say he is such a positive force no matter what he is doing. He taught classes to the staff and faculty at Dominican University, and everyone raved about what a wonderful instructor he is. If you want to go to yoga and get an amazing workout while feeling positive and inspired, seek out Christian. He has my highest recommendation!
I thoroughly enjoy working with Christian. He's one of those rare people that seems to have endless amounts of energy and enthusiasm. He dedicates himself wholeheartedly to whatever he sets his mind to. The energy, enthusiasm, and dedication he brings to his work are infectious, inspiring those around him to live up to their own potential. He's a natural transformational leader. Christian has an insightful understanding of organizational structure and design. He not only understands these concepts in the abstract, he is able to apply them to his diverse work experience. His time in the military gave him unique opportunities to observe concepts such as chain of command, span of control, and work specialization very intimately, and provided him a deep understanding of how powerful organizational culture can be. As I mentioned above, Christian is a transformational leader. He is a charismatic and engaging public speaker who's at home in front of an audience. Most importantly, however, is Christian's vision- he's able to look into the future to imagine a better world, and then to take the concrete and necessary steps to start working towards that world. With his charismatic personality and presentation skills, he inspires others to follow him. I highly recommend Christian for any position which requires the knowledge, skills, and characteristics listed above.
Surrounding myself with creative, thoughtful, generous and smart energy is important to me as a yoga teacher. I am continually in awe of Christian's positivity and inspired by the way he is constantly creating a beautiful and authentic offering for his students. His classes are a true reflection of the yogi, person and beautiful soul that he is and this is an incredible thing to witness. Additionally, as a colleague, I am reminded of how important it is to keep your brand fresh and I really love how Christian presents himself online with beautiful photos, a current website and new invitations that pull people in - I am so inspired by this!
I have admired Christian as he set his mind to accomplish things in his education, career and personal life. He is a very disciplined person and it shows in every step he takes. He takes Big Steps and accomplishes them with pride and does anything he sets out to do very well. He is very honest and has the most integrity you will see. Christian has a Great Attitude. No matter what Christian does with you or for you—You will Love Him. Man of Great Integrity. I respect him!

d) 女人撐起半邊天 - Women holds half the sky
In modern world, women are always a step above men in leadership until we are given the trust to hold position to lead a country. For example; Taiwan, Croatia, Switzerland and Austria all have or used to have women as a leader. In United States Presidential Election last year, Hillary Clinton gives Donald Trump a hard time in winning the election.
This shows us that women are also capable in handling crisis and in decision making as well as the men thus bringing up the women status in the world.
The purpose of this celebration is to encourage women to come out of their comfort zone, discover their potential and strive to help the nation to prosper in.
Stellavingze has invited 4 VVIPs that are well known for their contributions towards Malaysia development and also towards the development of women. Therefore their sharing in this celebration is hoped to increase women's determination and inspire them to succeed.
a) Tan Sri Datin Paduka Seri Hajah Zaleha binti Ismail, Chairwoman of Yayasan Suara Wanita (YASNITA)
b) Datin Azizan Bt Hj Shariff, Chairwoman for Women and Family Development, Lembah Pantai Parliament
c) Datin Noor Faezah Binti Mohd Ashref, Vice President of Yayasan Wanita Cemerlang
d) Ms Wee Siew Ling, Managing Director of Stellavingze International
Tan Sri Datin Paduka Hajah Zaleha Ismail, said in her speech that women roles are important to build a strong foundation of a happy family that will bring up children capable of becoming Malaysia's most valuable asset, whereas Datin Azizan Bt Hj Shariff told us that a successful women are country's most valuable asset and she encourages all women to empower themselves and gain more knowledge and skills in achieving their dreams.
For Datin Noor Faezah, she feels that women are capable of handling multiple task at one time, they are mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, leaders and influencers. She claimed that powerful women are able to be independent, support others, and motivate the least fortunate. Ms Wee Siew Ling who is both Managing Director of Stellavingze International and a mother told us that her biggest challenge to overcome is not having enough time. She needs to be wise in managing her family, career and find time for herself and very often, she sacrificed her time for herself, however, she believed that it is not possible to accomplish so many things in your life if you know how to divide your time. She quoted a formula of happiness created by Datuk Stella Chin; Women's Happiness= (+) Love , (-) Hate , (x) Gratitude , (÷) Gossip.
Since the event collaboration with Stellavingze International, at least you guys must know lil bit info about Datuk Stella Chin, an entrepreneur, who has lead her and her husband's company to explore global market. She has won multiple prestigious awards like Stevie Awards For Women In Business and The International Diamond Prize for Excellence Quality (ESQR). She is also a mother and a loving wife.

At long last, war has come to "Vikings" — and the death of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) will finally be avenged. The Great Heathen Army has arrived, sights set on Wessex, and King Ecbert (Linus Roache) should be scared.
As the Jan. 25, penultimate episode of Season 4 closed, it was Aethelwulf (Moe Dunford) who ordered his men to charge against the Great Army — with the sons of Ragnar front and center — and we don't like his chances. The Vikings are hungry for blood, and their numbers might just be too big for Wessex to gain any sort of victory.
So who will survive the battle? Will anyone? Given the amount of royalty in Wessex, chances are not all of them are going to make it out alive. However, thanks to actual historical records, there are some conclusions we can draw.
RELATED: 'Vikings': We need to talk about Bjorn
Ecbert's grandchildren, for instance, should survive this war. One of the boys, Alfred, goes on to become a major figure in history — and has his own dealings with the Vikings after he's come to be known as Alfred the Great. Likewise, Aethelwulf historically succeeds his father as King of Wessex, so his death in the battle would be a major shift from actual events.
As for the Lothbrok family, the sons of Ragnar by and large go on to become major figures in their culture — in the cases of Ivar (Alex Hogh) and Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig), even more famous than their father. Given the army they've built and the tactics they're using, it would be surprising to see any of them die.
The beauty of "Vikings," though, is you never know exactly what's happening. At any given moment, the tables could turn, and you could be saying goodbye to a beloved character.
RELATED: 'Vikings': Which of Ragnar's sons will kill Lagertha?
So who will survive the battle at Wessex? That's a question we're going to have to wait until the finale to learn. Whatever the cast, this is shaping up to be the biggest and most powerful battle in the history of the series.
"Vikings" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on History.

When I think of a Vintage Winter Wonderland Wedding Invitation, I think of white/ivory, silver, ornate, and whimsical. Our Shelley Wedding Invitation is a great fit for this type of wedding invitation. It has a vintage feel with a nice mix of "hard" and "soft design elements. The bold border mixed with some floral touches and fun font types all work nicely together to create a whimsical vintage winter wonderland wedding invitation. View the entire Shelley Collection for more inspiration!
This couple really went all out with their wedding invitation suite! They wanted to be very detailed and so they included a matching directions, accommodations, and information card in their suite. They also ordered our Addressing Service which really completed the suite! Addressing the envelopes is a detail that can really tie together your wedding invitation. With Digital Calligraphy we use matching font types, possible graphics, and color to unify your invitation suite. This service also makes it easier on the Bride and Groom, as they can sit back and relax instead of having the tedious task of handwriting each address!

After the wedding ceremony, the couple organized a bunch of fun snow bound activities for their guests including a pond ice hockey game, ice skating, and cross-country skiing!

Be A Student Of The Sport
By Donny Shankle
If I were to mention the names Lee James, Cheryl Hayworth, Leonid Taranenko, Paul Anderson, or David Rigert would you know who I am talking about? These are all great weightlifters. What kind of basketball player doesn't know about Michael Jordan? What kind of soccer player doesn't know about Pele? Not only did all of these weightlifters lift fantastic weights but there was also something preeminent about their character. It was amazing to watch them lift.
By being a student of the sport and studying the champions of the past, we can't hope to emulate them nor should we. Yet by standing on their shoulders perhaps we can see farther than they did and surpass them. Maybe we can become even greater. By studying past and current champions or other subjects in general which you admire or enjoy learning about, you start to develop more of your mind. Since the mind is at the center of what lifts the bar, who's to tell you a clever wit can't help you become a great weightlifter? Who's to say a sharp mind can't help you lift more weight?
By being a student of the sport and immersing yourself in study, you begin to develop your own philosophy towards weightlifting. If your philosophy can help you put more weight on the bar, or if what you believe in can help you put in more repetitions during the day, or more tonnage during the week then this is great. By studying the performance of champions you begin to develop more of your own character. You will learn more about yourself as an athlete and person. The more you know about yourself the stronger your identity is and the better weightlifter you are going to be.

FASHION group French Connection yesterday said that revenues in the three months to 30 October increased eight per cent year on year, with most of the rise due to favourable exchange rates rather than changes in underlying trade.
Total retail sales in the UK and Europe grew by 0.6 per cent, with like-for-like sales edging up 0.3 per cent.
The firm also reported an 11 per cent decline in wholesale revenue in the UK and Europe, while forward orders for spring and summer 2010 are lower than the levels achieved last year.
Although retail sales of French Connection's women's clothing range are growing in the UK and Europe, the fashion group's menswear sales continue to struggle, while markets in North America and Japan remain soft.
In September, the firm axed 50 jobs and closed its Northern European stores after heavy half-year losses.

The revelation that President-elect Donald Trump does not intend to seek a new investigation into Hillary Clinton was startling not only because it seemed to reverse a campaign pledge.
It also suggested that Trump thinks that that's his decision to make, reflecting an apparent lack of regard for the cherished independence of the Justice Department, which is responsible for conducting investigations without the influence or opinion of the White House.
Trump on Tuesday told reporters and editors of the New York Times that "I don't want to hurt the Clintons; I really don't," despite having said during the campaign that he'd seek a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton and that she'd be in jail if he were elected.
Some questions and answers about how the White House and Justice Department interact — and how the system actually works:
Do presidents oversee investigations of the Justice Department?
Definitely not.
Long-standing protocol dictates that the FBI and Justice Department operate free of political influence or meddling from the White House. That's one reason that the FBI director serves a 10-year term and does not turn over the reins as presidential administrations come and go. It also means that presidents are not supposed to supervise, initiate or stop law enforcement investigations.
White House officials and Justice Department lawyers aren't even meant to talk with each other about ongoing criminal investigations or civil enforcement actions, though there is some leeway granted for matters of national security.
A 2007 Justice Department memorandum says the department will advise the White House of criminal or civil enforcement matters "only where it is important for the performance of the president's duties and where appropriate from a law enforcement perspective."
"This limitation recognizes the president's ability to perform his constitutional obligation to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed' while ensuring that there is public confidence that the laws of the United States are administered and enforced in an impartial manner," the memo states.
Why is that so important?
Justice Department officials have long considered it imperative that their investigations not be politicized or tainted by suspicions of interference by the White House or other elected leaders.
Any hint of political meddling could undermine public faith in the legitimacy of an investigation. It could raise the prospect that a person is being investigated, or is being spared from investigation, on the whims of political considerations rather than evidence of guilt or innocence.
Past episodes that have blurred the line between politics and the administration of justice have been fairly disastrous for the government.
During the Watergate scandal, for instance, President Nixon refused to turn over White House audiotapes to Archibald Cox, a special prosecutor investigating the matter. Atty. Gen. Elliot Richardson and Deputy Atty. Gen. William Ruckelshaus both resigned rather than follow Nixon's order to fire Cox. Cox was then fired at Nixon's request by then-Solicitor Gen. Robert Bork, an episode that became known as the Saturday Night Massacre.
In 2007, Alberto Gonzales resigned as attorney general in the wake of the dismissal of several U.S. attorneys, who serve at the president's pleasure. Some of the fired attorneys said they felt pressured to investigate Democrats before elections, though Gonzales said they were dismissed based on their performance records.
Does that mean presidents have never weighed in publicly on ongoing matters?
The White House has typically balked at questions about the status of Justice Department investigations. But officials, including the president, haven't always strictly abided by that firewall.
President Obama caused a stir in 2014 when he appeared to prejudge an ongoing FBI investigation into the Internal Revenue Service by telling Fox News that there was "not even a smidgeon of corruption."
Obama also said in 2012 that there was "no evidence" that his CIA director David H. Petraeus caused harm to national security through his affair with his biographer. The FBI later concluded that he had given the woman, Paula Broadwell, classified information, and Petraeus pleaded guilty.
Obama told CBS' "60 Minutes" in October 2015 that Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of State was a mistake but didn't endanger national security — an eyebrow-raising statement given that the FBI's investigation was still underway and law enforcement officials at the time had made no such public characterization.
Conversely, Justice Department and FBI officials are expected under their own protocol to avoid taking public investigative action in the run-up to an election for fear of being seen as influencing the outcome.
That's one reason department officials frowned on FBI Director James Comey's disclosure to Congress, less than two weeks before the election, that the FBI would review emails it had recently found that it thought might be connected to the Clinton email case. He announced the conclusion of that review two days before the election with no charges being brought.

The economic downturn in Europe continues to claim new victims. The latest is a village in France, which is being sold in its entirety for just 330,000 euros ($436,630), The Telegraph reports.
Courbefy, in the Limousin region, comes complete with 19 buildings -- including a village hall and family homes -- and a swimming pool, stables, and tennis courts, according to The Daily Mail.
The Mail has more photos here >
The village at one time had a population of around 200, although most of its residents, mainly farmers, began to move out in search of more lucrative jobs in industries in the 1970s, Jean-Pierre Chateau, who lives nearby told Le Figaro.
In the 1990s, an attempt to turn Courbefy into a holiday village was abandoned because of high expenses, and locals now say it is mainly home to "thieves, drunks and squatters". Chateau says Courbefy has been a "ghost village" since 2008.
The village was first put up for auction by authorities on Monday, but so far, there have been no takers. Prospective buyers have until Friday to put in a bid for the village, which is less than 30 miles from Limoges.
Adding to Courbefy's appeal is the presence of the ruins of a 13th Century castle and an ancient chapel nearby.
If no one buys the village, it will remain in the hands of Credit Agricole bank.

Information for this tour was contributed by Grant Smith.
Star Hall was built by the Moab Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and opened in May 1906. [1] The amusement hall was used for recreational and social functions, including dances, plays, and other cultural activities. An elderly Moab resident recalled, "They used to serve dinners there. ... There were long tables the length of the room, and after they got the meal out of the way and cleared, they'd dance most of the night." [2] Before 1972, the hall was also used as an opera house and motion picture theater. [3]

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NY—Two intergenerational seminars will be offered at Bard College during the month of November. These evening seminars provide a chance for Hudson Valley residents and Bard undergraduates to study together and exchange ideas and experiences. The seminar fee is $25.00 and preregistration is requested.
Robert Seder, visiting assistant professor of basic writing and associate of the Institute of Writing and Thinking at Bard College, is the author of To the Marrow, an account of his survival of a bone marrow transplant. He will lead the writers\' workshop on \"Writing Out Illness.\" The workshop will meet on two Thursdays, November 9 and 16, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. \"At some time in our lives, we all face serious illness: in ourselves, in our families, or in our work as caregivers. The story of illness is, for many of us, one that insists on its telling,\" says Seder. \"To those who have wanted to write about their own or another\'s illness, this workshop offers practices with which to start and sustain their writing. As we write and read together, the workshop becomes a respectful place to have our writing heard and to learn by listening to that of others.\" Seder concludes, \"The work may not be curative, but it may go some way toward making meaning of tough times. The workshop welcomes those with writing experience, as well as people new to writing as a pursuit.\"
\"The Arab World: Past and Present,\" will be taught by Justus Rosenberg, professor of languages and literature at Bard College, on Tuesdays, November 14, 21, and 28, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Rosenberg has recently returned from the Middle East and is familiar with the area and its problems. The topics the sessions, which focus on the axial periods and political developments in Arab history are: \"The Era of Conquest and Supremacy,\" \"Disruption and Decline,\" and \"Revolution and Resurgence.\"
For further information and to register for the intergenerational seminars, call Karen Becker at the Continuing Studies Program at 845-758-7508, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
