Osama Bin Laden's Death will NOT Save Incumbents
OsamaBin Laden's death will NOT save incumbents in Washington DC from the wrath of America's Unemployed voting masses, at least according to a recent U-Cubed poll.
The poll conducted last month offers great insight into how poorly unemployed America views the job being done by our elected officials. To view the total results of this poll go to http://tinyurl.com/4x4232r and PLEASE TWEET this link out to all media and political contacts.
Some of the most important and revealing poll questions and responses were:
Overall, would you say things are on the right or wrong track in America today? To which 88.4% responded WRONG TRACK.
How would you rate the job being done by President Barack Obama -- excellent, good, not so good, or poor? 37.4% responded NO SO GOOD and another 31% felt Obama is doing a POOR job.
How would you rate the job being done by the United States Senate -- excellent, good, not so good, or poor? 53.3% said POOR and another 34.6% thought NOT SO GOOD.
How would you rate the job being done by the United States House of Representatives -- excellent, good, not so good, or poor? 78.5% Said POOR
How would you rate the job President Barack Obama is doing -- excellent, good, not so good or poor -- when it comes to:
Protecting American workers from the loss of jobs due to outsourcing and imports of cheap foreign goods? 67.5% said POOR
Having the kind of strong and aggressive jobs program to get people back to work? 67.0% said POOR.
Are you inclined to support your member of Congress for re-election or not? 49.7% answered No, not inclined to support.
Which of the two parties in Congress -- the Democrats or Republicans -- do you think is doing a better job in dealing with the following issues?
Standing up for the interests of working people - 53.4% said Neither!
Ending this recession by stimulating the economy - 64.4% said Neither!
Standing up forcefully to the big banks, investment firms and Insurance companies - 76.2% said Neither!
Pushing a strong jobs program to get people back to work immediately - 80% said Neither!
81.9% of those polled believe that the United States needs an industrial policy that will promote manufacturing and improve our transportation systems.
86.8% Strongly disagreed with the statement: Since Wall Street has rebounded and the gross national product has grown, the recession is all but over for most Americans.
But 68.6% strongly agreed that our country needs strong and enforceable "Buy American" legislation so more American-made products are purchased by the federal, state and local governments -- as well as U.S. government funded contractors.
79.2% feel that: The federal government should hire jobless Americans to renovate factories, install new equipment and improve global competitiveness and job opportunities for unemployed persons in depressed local economies.
Over 90% strongly agreed that US Tax policies should discourage the outsourcing of American jobs to foreign countries.
72.2% believe that Trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA should be renegotiated and 81.6% strongly agree that America needs a strong, Roosevelt-Kennedy style jobs program to get Americans who want to work back to work immediately.
70.3% stated they agree with the statement: In recent years, neither major political party has strongly represented the interests of working people and 67.2 believe that The Democratic Party doesn't represent working people as strongly as they used to.
However, if either party came out strongly in favor of a FDR-JFK styled jobs program to get people back to work as soon as possible, that's the party 61.1% would support ... and maybe not just for the next election.
In addition, nearly 66% would be inclined to support either party if they simply stood up strongly for the interests of ordinary working people. (Heads up GOPers!)
So you see, although significant, the death of Osama Bin Laden is not likely to effect the results of the 2012 election anywhere close to soothing the anger of unemployed American voters would. (Especially since it took nearly 6,000 deaths of American service personnel to get this one man and his death DOES NOT MEAN the USA will immediately withdraw from the war in Afghanistan).
Obama may indeed get a bump in his approval rating for a brief moment in time, but unless Washington DC immediately gets going on fixing America's REAL issues on the home front - there will be new blood on the hands of the US Government - this time due to starving, homeless and suicidal long term jobless American Citizens, and those who do survive will want BLOOD in the form an entirely new regime in DC come the next election!

I've been trying to find a way to work roosters into an art class, and think this drawing in oil pastel will work well. The feathers look good with light sketchy lines and the red comb and wattle are easy to shade.
1. Have students very lightly sketch a center line on their paper in both directions just to use as a guide. The outline of the head is drawn.
2. The beak is added to the flat side of the head.
3. The comb is drawn on top.
4. The wattle and other details are added. When complete, all the lines are traced with a thick black permanent marker.
5. I colored my rooster with Portfolio® Oil Pastels, starting with a gold body, golden yellow beak and red comb and wattle. Sketchy lines were drawn on top with a medium brown pastel, and gray was added to the edge of the comb for shading. The background may be colored as desired.

She's All That. Remember the movie?! When you google allthatisshe – the film's IMDb site comes up in the first page of search results, which actually, could not be more fitting.
You see, on Instagram – Dominique Davis is undoubtedly the girl of the moment, and if the beautiful mama, blogger and Capsule Wardrobe Coach thought she had success last year, well… 2017 is already kicking 2016 out of the park!
Yes in just 10 short weeks since January got underway, @allthatisshe's instagram following has stormed past the 100K mark. Currently sitting at 129K, it is growing by the hundreds – at times thousands – every single day. Her #allthatisthree hashtag photos, the much-loved series of weekly shots taken with her two delightful daughters (and little stars in their own right!) Amelia and Penny, have graced newspaper pages and websites near and far, even featuring on America's Today Show.
And as if that wasn't exciting enough, Instagram itself showcased Dominique's photos twice in the space of two weeks on the back of her perfectly suited entries to their long-reigning Weekend Hashtag Project.
So why and how has her following grown so quickly and what is it about Dominique and her account that we love? It's simple. Her photos are consistently and unfalteringly stand out. Every single shot is styled, thoughtful and creative. Her overall feed flows like a Pinterest party, while her gorgeous girls, stunning home and adorable bunny rabbits are the icing on the cake.
It's been a real thrill for me to see Dominique's Instagram catapult. I remember the first time I came across her account. I was hosting an instameet on behalf of Visit Britain at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in September 2015 and the pressure was on for me to get a group of exceptional northern UK instagrammers together at very short notice to take part. I reached out to the lovely @olgaprinku and invited her, while also asking if she could recommend anyone else who would be suitable – and the person she suggested was Dominique. Back then @allthatisshe had around 800 followers, and I recall looking at her photos and thinking 'wow – I hope she can come!', before realising she lived quite a distance away in the North East, so it was therefore unlikely. But she did. She drove the furthest out of all of the wonderful people who attended {that day}, for which I'm still so grateful.
From Scandi-glamour to her unique and brilliant e-course to who inspires her, to her recently getting recognised in a local café – trust me when I say this Q&A does not disappoint. Dominique is candid, gracious, full of tips and generous with her advice while being very much your Instagram girl next door.
So without further ado, grab a cuppa, sit back, drown out your day job and let's get this show on the road!
Describe your life in a nutshell.
Hectic. I'm an Instagramming, blogging, mother-of-two who is yet to find the right balance on how to cram it all in.
Where is home for you?
Chester-le-Street, near Durham. After buying our house in February last year, we endured months of renovating, decorating and choosing interiors. We were actively involved in all aspects of the process (for anyone who followed me back then, you would've seen proof of this in my feed), so now it's wonderful to sit back and appreciate the home that we've created, together.
You have a beautiful blog, allthatisshe.com. For anyone who is yet to read it – sum it up.
I like to think of it as a public diary. It covers all aspects of my life; motherhood, my capsule wardrobe, occasional travel and general lifestyle.
Tell us about your love affair with Instagram including where it began for you?
When my maternity leave after having Penny finished, I had to go back to a job that I didn't enjoy; but as with most new mothers, you don't have a lot of choice. You begrudgingly return to work and tell yourself that it will do you good to be out the house mixing with other adults, instead of talking to a baby all day. So, I went through the usual motions, putting on a brave face but deep down I was miserable. My feed at this point had already started, but it was something I would concentrate on only at night and during my lunch hour. After a year of being back to work (and still hating every minute of it), my childcare system started to crumble, and we began to struggle. In October 2015 I took the leap and decided to quit my job and concentrate on being at home, and my blog.
Your account is incredibly creative, where do you get your inspiration and how do you keep the ideas flowing?
An excessive amount of time on Instagram and Pinterest always helps. Browsing through and seeing inspiring images every day, will always have a positive effect on your own personal creativity.
I also often use my own images and reinvent them too, I scroll through my feed and pick out the images that have performed well and restyle them; same elements, but used in a different way. It's a great way to avoid the pressure of trying to conjure up brand new ideas every day.
Of course, I have days where my mind is blank, and I'm completely stumped – they probably happen more than the days where I feel inspired – but I try not to concentrate on the likes too much, and if all else fails, a cup of coffee is always a hit.
How would you describe your overall photography style?
Someone once called it Scandi-glamour, and I quite liked the sound of that.
We have to talk about your brilliant #allthatisthree series! How did that come about and tell us a bit about how it's evolved?
Our #allthatisthree series started by chance. One morning, I'd unintentionally dressed myself and Penny in matching striped tops, then Amelia emerged from her bedroom wearing one too. We'd laughed about it, and when I was struggling for an image idea later that day, we thought we'd share our joke with everyone else.
The photo went crazy – reaching 16k likes – so the following week we decided to try it again, this time with some watermelon. When that one followed suit and reached 14k likes, it unsurprisingly became a weekly feature.
Now, the photos are a lot more planned, we think of an idea a few days before, but it's become a hashtag that I can look back on and smile – I get to see the girls grow, week by week. The difference in the two of them now compared to the very first ever post is remarkable – in just seven months they've both grown so much – and this wouldn't have been documented so well had this not started. It's quickly become a family photo album for us all.
Your Instagram account (deservedly so!!) has absolutely skyrocketed! What has that been like for you?
At times it can be overwhelming – my account grew rapidly in a relatively short space of time – so I'm still getting accustomed to it. The last six months, in particular, has been such a learning curve – I've had to quickly learn how to become my own boss and for someone so laid back that they're almost asleep, it's been a real shock to the system. However, I wouldn't change it for the world, I adore what I do, and it's mind-blowing that I'm now able to call this my job (although I still struggle to name my profession whenever I'm asked in the school yard).
Talk us through your pinch yourself Instagram moments.
The whole last year has been pretty surreal, but I think the real pinch myself moment would be when Instagram featured me, twice in one month. I'd entered their WHP weekend hashtag project before, but although my image may have made it to top posts, it had never been selected by them to be featured. So when they released the topic WHPimitate, I knew my #allthatisthree series would suit it perfectly. Instagram HQ thankfully agreed as they reposted the image on their feed. In just 24 hours I gained an additional 8000 followers and companies such as Bored Panda and The Today Show soon reached out to feature our story. The #allthatisthree story circulated at an unimaginable speed, and soon our faces were everywhere. The exposure we reached from the one feature on Instagram was life changing.
Two weeks later, the topic was #WHPdisguise, and I posted an image of my two rabbits on blankets the same colour as their fur. I never believed that Instagram would feature the same account within a two-week period, but they did, and with the new influx of followers, my account was pushed over the 100K mark.
Then a few weeks ago someone recognised me in a local café; that was surreal too.
What's the craziest/most extravagant or exciting opportunity you've had on the back of Instagram? Or all three!
Tough one. The joy of this job is that every day is all three; you never know what emails you're going to receive, every day is different. The most exciting opportunity so far, for me, would be the Johnson's Baby campaign. It was the first big company who had reached out, and although some didn't agree with the campaign or the product, it was exciting that a worldwide brand (and a brand I'd used for years) had not only noticed me but also wanted to work together.
Other than that, I'm currently discussing a collaboration with a holiday company which would involve a visit to one of their resorts, so that is hugely extravagant and exciting and crazy and almost too good to be true.
You've recently launched an e-course and some Photoshop filters. Tell us more.
I'd always been interested in e-courses and would spend all of my child-free car rides listening to podcasts about how to build an e-course, launch one, market one, etc. I just wasn't sure what topic to cover. As capsule wardrobes are still a relatively new concept, not many people understand it, although many are interested in knowing more, I thought it would be a good place to start. Plus, I'd lived with one for over a year and hoped that it meant I would know what I was talking about. I would often receive messages asking about it – how do I start? How does it work? What do I need to do? I began to analyse all of these questions in my mailbox and realised that the majority of people struggle with the initial first steps – the moment where you decide to do it, but don't know where to start. And so, using that, I created the 'How To Build A Capsule Wardrobe' e-course. The response has been extremely positive, and it's incredibly heart-warming to see people posting snaps of their new wardrobes which have been implemented with the help of the course that I created.
The Photoshop filters came about in a similar way. I was often asked how I edit my photos, what filter I used, and how I managed to keep a similar style flowing throughout. We decided (me and my boyfriend) to create the filters with the idea that the package would allow the buyer to replicate my Instagram style, using any image easily. We built 12 filters in total, and each is custom made to give the same end result, no matter what image you apply them to whether it be dark, mid-tone, or bright. It's a way of helping others to post photos that will all fit well together.
Instagram Stories. Discuss.
Oh, I'm still shaky with the world of Instagram Stories. I do enjoy watching everybody else's (probably a bit too much, actually), but I'm quite inconsistent with my own. I often forget that it's there and will only remember once the moment has passed. When I do get my act together, and I'm on my Insta-Stories game, I post a mixture of real-life motherhood, the kids, what I'm eating (because that's the law, right?), what I'm unboxing, and sometimes a general chit-chat. I'm still finding my feet with this new(ish) tool.
What would your top tip be for someone looking to follow in your Instagram footsteps?
Don't try to be anyone else but you. When I first started I was trying to be all of my favourite accounts rolled into one, but it becomes messy, hard work and most of all, it's not a true reflection of yourself. Find your own style. People follow you for you, so if you're not sharing photos you love, then your followers won't love them either. Also, try and be active within this amazing community. I've always been a very active user on Instagram, and I believe that it helps greatly with my own engagement. Interact with your followers, if you see a photo you like, let the person who posted it know, be part of, and enjoy, the Insta-community.
Look at what your feed 'needs'. Yes, it sounds contrived and a tad obsessive, I know; but if you can look at your feed and can suss what's missing from those first six squares (your opening impact gallery), it'll give you direction and keep your feed flowing cohesively. For example, I like to have flashes of green running throughout my feed, even if it's only slight. If I feel my last six or so images are lacking in colour, I try to incorporate that into my next image by either going outdoors, using my house plants or throwing on my green jumper. Just something to add that slice of green that breaks up my predominately white or neutral canvas. I use this tactic when it comes to all of my shots – if I've been sharing a lot of from above shots, I'll throw in a different angle; if I have just posted a plain white background, I'll use the next image to add some intricacy, the list goes on.
Who or what inspires you?
I don't think that there's one person in my life who inspires me completely, but rather a number of people who do collectively. I'm lucky enough to have grown up in a family full of strong, smart and beautiful women, who have inspired me all of my life. I'm inspired by my daughters every day – it's amazing how much you learn from the teeny tiny humans – and of course my boyfriend, Dominic. I probably don't tell him enough, but he's a huge inspiration to me. He self-taught himself his trade using only YouTube videos when he was 18, started his own business and is still going strong. If it weren't for his encouragement, I would never have started All That Is She.
What's next for you?
Hopefully more e-courses, more exciting collaborations, and I'm going to delve further into the world of Instagram advice/tips blog posts (if I dare).
Instagram accounts you admire?
Oh, there's so many: I've been following @me_and_orla, @helena.moore, @mrsostrovia for a while and my newly found accounts that I love are @whimsyandgrey, @findingfreedom.findingjoy, @cherry.rebecca.
What would your ideal weekend be?
A family trip to Hamsterley Forest to blow off some steam and to try to tire the girls out, followed by a pub lunch. Then we'd head home to lie on the sofa – in a food coma state – to drink tea and indulge even further with chocolate.
What would your instagram followers be surprised to learn about you?
I have a soft spot for Heinz Spaghetti Bolognese in a tin. I never thought it was anything unusual, my entire youth was spent scoffing it, but when Dom first saw me happily tucking into a bowl of it, he was repulsed. I'm also left-handed and never thought I was even the slight bit creative until recently. I still sometimes question it.
And just because I'm nosy, drink of choice?
Tea, always tea.
With the hugest heartfelt thanks to the lovely Dominique. All photos featured in this blog post are copyright Dominique Davis @allthatisshe.

AHREN!!! AHHH!! I swear I love you! Ok, now that I have that out the way..lol. Let's get to the good stuff..
Wow, just unbelievable, I love anything by Ahren as it is, but the hurt, betrayal, and second chance at love in this book was real. The things that Ari and Reed went through can and do happen every day and I believe that's what made this story so easy to get into.
Ari is a single mom who has worked hard to build her career and take of her son. She's beautiful, but she's not looking for a man, she's more worried about being able to provide love and give the things to her child that she was robbed of as a young girl. With the help of her two best friends and her AMAZING grandmother she's been able to accomplish things that most single mothers pray to one day achieve. I loved her relationships with her friends throughout the whole process of learning to open up and give love a chance again,. They didn't push her and she was open to their thoughts and suggestions. Ari is an amazing character: strong, smart, and forgiving to those she truly cares about.
Reed is pro-football player, ladies man, and the love of Ari's life. I loved his drive to win back his family and prove he could be more than the playboy he turned into since the break up with Ari. He was definitely surprised to find out he had a soon but unlike most men he took that in stride and loved that little boy like no other. I felt bad for him because it seems like EVERYONE close to Reed had betrayed him, who exactly? Well you have to read and find out… His alpha personality cracked me up because it came out in the worst places, lol. But hey! That's what love does right? And those sexy times…le sigh** shit a reread is definitely in order!!

text: Waiting on the airport for 12 hours seeing your flight getting delayed every hour isn't fun at all. I always had a romantic view on the aspect of sitting and waiting at the gate, but that is now a great illusion. To make it worse: I have boarded two times in the airplane and exited it twice after the captain announced we couldn't take off, the second time our flight eventually got cancelled due to fog on JFK. God damn, I should have been standing on Times Square right now with my sunglasses on watching all the billboards! Oh well, second try tomorrow.

Phil Collins pulls no punches—about himself, his life, or the ecstasy and heartbreak that's inspired his music.
In his much-awaited memoir, Not Dead Yet, he tells the story of his epic career, with an auspicious debut at age 11 in a crowd shot from the Beatles' legendary film A Hard Day's Night. A drummer since almost before he could walk, Collins received on the job training in the seedy, thrilling bars and clubs of 1960s swinging London before finally landing… (more)

If you are looking for a mountain bike that can comfortably negotiate bumpy, cross-country, singletracks yet still be quick and nimble on the road, then a hardtail bike is for you. Hard tail mountain bikes have front suspension, weigh less and are more pedal efficient when the terrain is smooth, than full suss bikes. A good number of single track racers still use hardtails for these reasons. At wiggle, we stock a wide variety of hardtail mountain bike brands including Felt, Focus, GT, Kona, Mongoose, Saracen and more. So if you are searching for superb, quality spec hardtail mountain bikes at great value with a legendary service to match, then you've come to the right place.
First emerging as a frame builder in 1970s France, Vitus Bikes played a pivotal role in pioneering the design and manufacture of lugged and bonded aluminium frames, the most iconic being the 979, groundbreaking at the time and still prized among collectors today. In 1982 we engineered and developed the 979 Carbone, one of the very first frames to take carbon fibre technology from the aerospace industry and apply it to bikes. Their tradition of innovation continued throughout subsequent decades with frames which included the 1991 ZXI monocoque carbon frame, the spirit of which lives on in their latest generation of monocoque road bikes. Without exception, each of the bikes – from their singlespeed commuter to the high-end carbon road model – won plaudits for their ride quality, build and great value. The reviews confirmed what they knew all along, and they intend to improve on these already test-winning models as Vitus push forward with the development of this great brand of bikes. "Credit has to be due to a brand that has come back from the ashes and rather than milk the prestige of the old days, has set its sights on the biggest players on the scene." CYCLIST magazine. Vitus bikes have been tested in many of the top cycling titles and websites across all disciplines. Their bikes have won group tests across Europe and are regarded as some of the best on the market.

First off, let's get this out of the way: There are utilities that allow you to overclock a CPU through a Windows desktop.
Ignore them.
Changing the speed your computer runs at on the fly can sometimes result in a system freeze or crash. Even worse, there have been times we have used such a utility, rebooted, and encountered a machine unable to POST. Do your overclocking through the BIOS setup utility. Trust us.
There are two ways to overclock some CPUs, but many only support one of the methods. Extreme Edition Intel Core-series and Pentium CPUs, and AMD FX and Black Edition CPUs, allow you to tweak the multiplier. Older Pentium-series and Core 2 processors require you to tweak the FSB (front-side bus). The Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 chips, and the AMD Athlon and Phenom CPUs, don't use an FSB. Instead, the Core i–series chips use a Base Clock, which AMD BIOSes typically refer to as Bus Speed, so you tweak these values instead. We're using Base Clock as an umbrella term for ease of writing this article.
With the Intel Core i–series chips, the CPU's frequency is the Base Clock times the CPU ratio. For instance, a Core i7-965 Extreme Edition CPU has a Base Clock of 133 MHz, and a ratio multiplier of 24, giving a speed of 3.2 GHz (133 MHz × 24 = 3,200 MHz or 3.2 GHz). Note that the numbers are actually rounded, since the base clock is actually 133.33 MHz.
If we then raise the ratio to 27, the CPU's frequency is now 3.6 GHz. (133MHz × 27 = 3600 MHz or 3.6 GHz). That, if stable, is a fairly decent overclock.
For an older Core 2 or Pentium CPU, the method is the same, except you tweak the FSB or Bus Speed values instead of the Base Clock.
To sum up, raising either the Base Clock or the CPU multiplier overclocks the CPU. Most modern BIOS interfaces let you tweak either value. But where you find the CPU speed settings varies depending on the motherboard. For instance, on an Asus motherboard, you'll find them under the heading of "AI Tweaker," whereas MSI categorizes them under "Cell Menu." Continued…

Links Park Community Trust
Links Park Community Trust was established in 2011 with one very simple goal; to utilise the power and widespread appeal of sport to inspire change.
Using the facilities provided by Links Park Stadium in Montrose, and alternative venues throughout Angus and the Mearns, LPCT are developing and delivering an extensive range of innovative sporting, healthy and educational programmes, each of which are designed to meet identified local need.
Aviva Community Fund
Links Park Community Trust have been shortlisted for £10-£25k of funding from Aviva through their Community Fund, but WE NEED YOUR VOTES to help us secure a valuable prize!
As a registered charity, we rely entirely on donations, sponsorship, and income generated from our programmes, and we'll put any money accrued through this initiative to very good use in supporting health and social inequalities in our community.

We wish to thank our friends at Yourmove Montrose for submitting a nomination on our behalf.
Montrose FC Win Best Club In The Community Award
Small in size they may be, but the Mighty Mo have outperformed all other 41 clubs in Scotland, scooping the 2017 Best Professional Club in the Community trophy at the Grass Roots Awards ceremony last night in Glasgow.
The Scottish FA event recognises the outstanding contribution that football clubs, coaches and volunteers make to their communities and there to collect the award from Kenny Dalglish was Peter Davidson (Links ParkCommunity Trust CEO) and John Crawford (Montrose FC Chairman)
Peter said, "I am absolutely delighted to be receiving this award. It is fantastic recognition for all the hard work and dedication from everyone associated with both Links Park Community Trust (LPCT) and Montrose FC.
"When we created the Trust as the charitable arm of the football club just 5 years ago, we simply couldn't have imagined being considered the best setup in the country so soon. It is overwhelming to be honest."
LPCT use the facilities at Links Park to deliver an extensive range of community-benefitting programmes, with participants as young as 18 months right through to 94 years of age. Under the strands of Community Sport, Education & Training and Health & Wellbeing the Trust currently engage with over 1,400 local people each week, 12% of the town's population, with almost an even split between males and females.
John Crawford added, "I would like to thank and congratulate Peter and his team for what they have achieved and brought to Montrose FC. We are now so much more than just a football club and we recognise the role we can play together in supporting the lives, and in particular the wellbeing of those in our community.
Stewart Regan, SFA Chief Executive remarked, "The work of Montrose FC and LPCT is really inspirational, and I commend them for leading the way."
This prestigious award completes an impressive treble with LPCT having recently been crowned Social Impact Business of the Year (Dundee Courier Business Awards) and, in association with Montrose FC, Community Project of the Year (SPFL Trust).
Peter added, "We are often guilty, as a nation, of immersing ourselves in the negativity that surrounds Scottish football, but there are some fantastic examples of good practice at clubs throughout the country where football is put to very good use, and I am delighted that Montrose FC - and LPCT - have been recognised as the best of such this year.
"We will shamelessly make full use of this fabulous accolade to further promote our work in the hope we can bring benefit to even more people, young and old in our community."

Changing Lives, Saving Lives

Links Park Community Trust have been shortlisted, alongside two other very worthy charitable causes, to receive a £15k, £10k or £5k cash prize from the Scotmid Cooperative 'Community Connect' initiative which will go towards the development and delivery of a new, innovative programme. For more information on the CommunityConnect initiative click here

Football Comittee Members Required
Montrose Youth Football Club, Montrose Ladies Football Club, Montrose Amateur Football Club & Montrose Walking Club all operate under the umbrella of Links Park Community Trust.
Montrose Youth Football Club benefit greatly from having a strong and diverse independent Committee, with individuals undertaking roles such as Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer & Fundraiser amongst others, and we are in the process of allocating these positions to willing individuals within our Walking Football Club also.
We now wish to recruit able, willing and enthusiastic individuals into the same positions for...
Montrose Ladies FC
Montrose Amateur FC

Montrose Amateur Football Club
Links Park Community Trust are currently in the process of developing Montrose Amateur F.C, which, like that of the existing Montrose Ladies F.C, will complete our pathway into the adult game for both males and females.
The aim therefore of both sides is to allow players in our oldest Montrose Youth Football Club teams (boys and girls) to maintain their participation and development at a high a level as possible.
With our ladies team performing very well in their league, we are now seeking players for our NEW men's Amateur team, to compliment those joining us from Montrose Youth FC.
If you are interested in joining Montrose Amateur F.C, please email our Projects Officer via email@example.com and you may, depending on remaining space in our playing squad, be invited to attend an upcoming trial.
Rising Star

'Just Play' Adult Football
Our recreational football programme for adults over the age of 30, provides a fun, relaxed, and informal avenue for men to retain their love of the game without the need for weekly hall bookings, complicated rules, and fancy strips. Simply just turn up, get put into teams, and play!
This initiative serves to provide both physical and social benefits for adults who may be experiencing long term inactivity often due to injury, illness, and work commitments, or simply for those people who wish to continue to play some form of football, albeit in a slightly more relaxed manner.
Our 'Just Play' Adult Football programme is on every Monday 6.30-8pm at Links Park Stadium, with a suggested donation of £4, and continues on as normal throughout the holiday period.
If this sounds like something that may interest you, then get involved!
Tackling Carbon: Boot Recycling Project
A key feature of our Keep Scotland Beautiful (Climate Challenge Fund) 'Tackling Carbon' programme is our innovative Football Boot Recycling Scheme.
We have been encouraging participants to donate used and/or unwanted pairs of boots, instead of sending to landfill via general waste, and we are in a position to showcase over 70 pairs that we have received and are currently looking for a new home!
As from tomorrow, at our Links Park Soccer Saturday initiative, participants (and their parents) will be able to view and acquire boots, in return for a suggested donation of £5, or, in exchange for another pair that may be now too small, for example.
Summer Signings
Links Park Community Trust wish to congratulate both WALLACE BAIRD and HARRY CRAIG who have signed for Dundee FC and Dundee United FC respectively.
Regular attenders at Links Park Community Trust, both then progressed onto Montrose Youth Football Club where they, for the past two years, have developed their game further under the stewardship of MYFC 2007's Manager Dave Grant and his team.

Montrose FC Chairman John Crawford and LPCT Chief Executive Peter Davidson were delighted to collect the award on behalf of MFC and Links Park Community Trust
Montrose Amateur Football Club:
Links Park Community Trust are delighted to reveal plans for the development of a new men's side, Montrose Amateur FC.
We recently established a ladies side, Montrose Ladies FC (Montrose Girls & Ladies Football Club), and they are competing well in the SWF Division 2 East. The side contain players who have very successfully progressed from Montrose Youth Football Club (MYFC) Girls Under 17's.
Montrose Amateur FC will provide a similar route into the adult men's game for those currently playing for MYFC (& Montrose Football Club) boys teams...ensuring a lifelong (male and female) football participation (recreational, developmental and/or competitive) pathway at LPCT, with our youngest footballer aged 1, and our oldest in their 70's.
Having been provisionally accepted by the Midlands Amateur Football Association Executive Committee, we will be notified of the final outcome of our application at their AGM in June.
Furthermore, we do hope to be in a position shortly to reveal yet another strong partnership - with another local football organisation - but also the development of two additional football teams/programmes. Watch this space...

It is hoped that our membership of such a prestigious organisation will benefit and enhance the work we do within sport, education and health locally!

text: FXStreet (Córdoba) - The Japanese Nikkei 225 lost 3.06% or 564 points to close at 18,450.98 on Monday, extending its decline further in after hours trading, as worldwide stocks plunged. Currently poised to open Tuesday around 18,110, the Nikkei fell initially on weak Chinese manufacturing data, which triggered some risk aversion, later exacerbated by Saudi Arabia and Iran diplomatic woes. Nikkei technical view "The index is at its lowest since mid October, and the daily chart shows that the decline accelerated below the 100 DMA, while the technical indicators have been rejected from their mid-lines and maintain their bearish slopes, with the RSI indicator nearing oversold territory, all of which supports a continued decline for the upcoming sessions", said Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet. "In the 4 hours chart the technical indicators are consolidating in extreme oversold territory, with no aims of turning higher, whilst the index is far below a bearish 20 SMA, in line with the longer term outlook". Support levels: 18,245 18,330 18,415. Resistance levels: 18,080 18,002 17,923. For more information, read our latest forex news.

Animal cruelty thugs now know the law is coming to get them
It is impossible not to feel outraged when one reads our story today about the thugs who kicked a much-loved cat so badly that it later died from its injuries. Just what sort of mentality do such people have that they get enjoyment from attacking a defenceless and harmless animal?
Encouragingly, the Justice Department is signalling its intention to get tough on those who commit acts of animal cruelty. Recently it increased the maximum penalties and now is considering a central register of those convicted of animal cruelty. Anything that will punish the guilty severely and help safeguard animals is very welcome.

Home / TESOL Videos / TESOL TEFL Reviews - Video Testimonial - Danny
In this TEFL review video Danny gives us a brief tour of Hong Kong where he is teaching English. Danny also outlines his three reasons for choosing to earn his TEFL certificate with ITTT. The first is the great flexibility ITTT's courses provide, with six months to complete the course students are able to work in their own time and fit their studying around any other commitments they may have. The second is the reviews he read about the course online. The third is the affordability of ITTT's courses allowing you to earn a teaching certificate without stretching your budget.
This is what one of our TEFL graduates feels he has gained from the course, or a part of it, and how he plans to put into action what he has learned.
The last unit covered troubleshooting and common problems found in the classroom. It covered the first lesson and how to establish rapport with the students. I thought it was interesting that it was recommended not to use the course book on the first day of class. Icebreakers or warmers were suggested to help the students start to get to know each other and help to build rapport in the class. Suggestions were given on how to teach different levels of students in the same class as well as classes that are large. Other problems such as students using their native language in class or students who won't participate were also addressed. This unit gave more insights on what to expect and how to manage a variety of classroom situations.

Subject: Re: [saxon] saxon:line-number() question Are you talking about using saxon as the actual transformation engine from Cocoon, or just using saxon extensions? I think I explained that you can't possibly use saxon extensions without using Saxon as the transformation engine. I was talking about using Saxon as the transformation engine. We are making extensive use of saxon extensions in our XSL code which we want to use from Cocoon. If we cannot even use saxon extensions from Cocoon, can you suggest alternative extensions that will work from Cocoon? You need to ask this on the Cocoon list. Michael Kay The line numbers problem is not particulary important, so if we cant use that, it is not the end of the world. However we do use saxon:node-set, saxon:path, saxon:evaluate, saxon:assignable etc etc. Thanks again for your help Anna ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Kay <mailto:michael.h.kay@...> To: 'Anna Afonchenko' <mailto:anna@...> ; saxon-help@... Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 12:38 PM Subject: RE: [saxon] saxon:line-number() question I would strongly advise against using this mixture of Xalan and Saxon code. It looks as if the Xalan command line processor is invoking the transformation entirely using JAXP interfaces, and can therefore invoke Saxon as an alternative to invoking Xalan if you set the environment up in the right way. But that's entirely an accident of the Xalan implementation and you're not achieving anything useful by doing this. You are running the Saxon transformation engine, and you should invoke it via Saxon interfaces. It is not possible to use the Saxon extension functions when using the Xalan processor. Xalan, for example, does not maintain line numbers in its representation of the source document, so there is no way that the Saxon line-number() function could obtain the information it needs. I don't know what the status is on running Saxon with Cocoon. I know they were doing the work at one stage, but I don't know if it ever got finished. Cocoon was making fairly extensive use of internal Xalan interfaces so it wasn't a trivial exercise. Michael Kay -----Original Message----- From: Anna Afonchenko [mailto:anna@...] Sent: 16 December 2002 09:48 To: michael.h.kay@...; saxon-help@... Subject: Re: [saxon] saxon:line-number() question No, I am running Xalan using saxon extensions, and that works. java -cp .;saxon.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in input.xml -xsl styesheet.xsl -out output.xml The output of system-property('xsl:vendor') is SAXON 6.5.2 from Michael Kay Does this mean that xalan isn't even processing the stylesheet, but saxon is. If so, there seems to be little point in using Process. However, we want to use the xalan processor and take advantage of saxon extensions at the same time, especially because we also transform stylesheets from Cocoon and xalan is the default Processor of Cocoon. It seems by what you are saying that if we do run the stylesheet from Cocoon, we will not be able to use the line numbering function, or even all the saxon extensions? Thanks for your reply Anna ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Kay <mailto:michael.h.kay@...> To: 'Anna <mailto:anna@...> Afonchenko' ; saxon-help@... Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 11:33 AM Subject: RE: [saxon] saxon:line-number() question Are you really saying you can run Saxon by invoking the Xalan command line with saxon.jar on the classpath? If so, I am very surprised. Are you sure this is actually running Saxon and not Xalan. What is the output of system-property('xsl:vendor')? You can switch on Saxon line numbering for the source document by using the -l (letter ell) option on the command line, or by setting the LINE_NUMBERING attribute in the TransformerFactory. Specifically: TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); tf.setAttribute(FeatureKeys.LINE_NUMBERING, new Boolean(true)); See http://saxon.sourceforge.net/saxon7.3.1/using-xsl.html#Embedding for other attributes you can set. (This is for version 7.3.1. For 6.5.2 you will need to trawl through the JavaDoc to find the equivalent information). Michael Kay -----Original Message----- From: saxon-help-admin@... [mailto:saxon-help-admin@...] On Behalf Of Anna Afonchenko Sent: 15 December 2002 10:00 To: saxon-help@... Subject: [saxon] saxon:line-number() question Hi all. I hope this is the right list to post this question. I want to write in my xsl stylesheet that when it matches some node to output some stuff, that the xsl will also print the line number that this node appears in the input file. I found the saxon function line-number(), that seems to be what I need, but when I use it, I get -1 as a result for any node. It is mention on the saxon page that I may need to add -l option on command line when running to enable line numbers, but my problem is, that I don't really run my stylesheet using saxon, but using java with saxon.jar instead to enable use of saxon functions along with some java extensions, e.g. my command line looks like this: java -cp .;saxon.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in input.xml -xsl styesheet.xsl -out output.xml instead of running through saxon directly: c:\saxon\saxon -o output.xml input.xml stylesheet.xsl How can I define saxon to return valid line numbers? Or maybe there is some other function that I can use? Thank you very much for help. Anna

This is like something out of a sci-fi movie. That probably has a lot to do with the Batman soundtrack playing underneath Anonymous' message. It's strange but it feels like the OWS movement is starting to gain stream.
Especially when you read things like GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt saying to 60 Minutes: "I think we should have basically the same tax policy that Germany, Japan, the UK, everybody else has, which is a tax rate in the mid-20s and no loopholes. Zero. The US has the most antiquated tax system. And that means some people are going to pay more taxes, and some people are going to pay less."
And the CEO of Starbucks began a campaign to urge "his fellow bosses to stop donating money to politicians until Congress starts sorting out America's economic problems, especially its alarming deficit."
That's not to say the protests are working, but the notion of protests for the regulation and fair taxation of multi-national corporations operating within America is powerful.
[Thanks, Ben!]

If you're going to do something, why not make it epic? This quote has been running through my mind lately; 1) I'm working on a pretty exciting project, stay tuned for details and 2) It also has to do with THIS cartoon and the story behind it..sorry, Mo, I stole your word! 😉
But back to the quote, and going for epic. Perhaps I should edit it to say: "If you're going to do something, why not TRY and make it epic."
Because the truth of the matter is you very well may not wind up making it all the way to epic. I'm not being pessimistic, just realistic. Some people would argue that quote is setting people up for disappointment, "If I'm never going to run in the Olympics, be the best in the world, or set a World Record, then where is the point in all this training?"
True, most people won't ever set a National or World Record, they won't come home with a Gold Medal. But the thing is, I'll guarantee you that you'll run and set a Personal Record at some point…probably more.
Insert obligatory eye-roll here. But let me continue. The people who don't at least TRY for epic really are just afraid to step out of their comfort zone. Their comfort zone is safe, it ensure they won't really fail, it also ensure they probably really won't excel…they'll just be nice, safe, *gasp* mediocre. Now, mediocre is totally OKAY, nothing wrong with it at all. But the thing is, if you're NOT okay with mediocre, you're always welcomed to TRY for epic.
Running is awesome because it is a sport where anyone can improve with hard work, grit, determination, and self-motivation. The feelings of PR's and knowing you pushed yourself to new limits are indescribably self-fulfilling. The feeling of KILLING it in a track workout or race are, in a word, epic.
Why not shoot for epic?
Define epic…it is greatness, it is awesomeness, it is rewarding, it is awes-freaking-tastic. But all of those can be different for different people. You see, epic doesn't have to be defined as setting a World Record or being a total flop of a failure. YOUR epic may be realizing that you much stronger, faster, fitter, mentally stronger than your 'mind' told you that you were.
Quite honestly, you may wind up short along the way. A goal you don't hit, eventually you will set your last PR…*single tear*. When you hit the climax, what the heck happens if you DON'T hit what, in your mind, was your 'epic'?
You would be allowed to be disappointed. But I GUARANTEE you that you're much higher up on the 'epic scale' than when you started. Running and training your @$$ off, you maybe didn't hit the pinnacle you wanted, but dang-nam-it you improved.
You didn't sit at mediocre. You TRIED.
If you're going to do something, give it your all. If you truly want it, believe in it, and you find it rewarding…TRY for epic.
What holds most people back? Ultimately fear. Right behind it a lack of motivation…lol.
But I think fear is the root of it. Fear of the work it would take. Fear of failure. Fear you're not good enough. Fear you're not as good as you think you are…aha…that one!
That brings up the question: Would you rather stay at mediocre but live with the assumption that if you DID try then you would be awesome OR go out on a limb and try, then be faced with the reality that you didn't quite measure up? Going with the first one will keep you in the safety bubble of mediocre.
Don't let insecurities, fear, failures, hard work, REALLY hard work [umm, trust me, track workouts need a whole new word for REALLY. HARD. WORK.], and set-backs rob you from trying for YOUR epic.
Be different, test yourself, push yourself, be unique, FIND YOUR epic. Hell, go run. 😉
1) Define what 'epic' would be for you? Pick a goal, it doesn't necessarily have to be running related.
2) Define what falling short of that epic would mean to you?
Sure it sucks, but we CAN cope with sucky.
3) What has been something that's held you back from getting to your epic, or holding you back from TRYING for your epic?

I'm not nervous once I see her, but its this waiting till 7 that is killing me, my stomach already has butterflies.
Most Helpful Girl
It may help to remember that CHANCES ARE she is going through the same thing.
You feel like this, also, because you're focusing on tonight, rather than where you are in the day. I know its hard, especially when you're super excited, but try to stop focusing on tonight (the what ifs, and hows and whens and all that fun stuff we torture ourselves with!) and focus on what you are doing. If you are sitting around waiting for the date, then get your bum up and do something :) Go for a walk or a jog or a bike (exercise is a GREAT way to calm yourself down AND, added bonus, after you work out you're flooded with endorphins and your pheromones become stronger, giving you a more confident air and a primal attractant).
If I'm anxious I try to throw myself into my work, school or actual work, I go for a run, I play guitar, or I read. Just do something you are normally really interested in, it should HELP at least. Good luck tonight!00|00|0

Pikmin 4 has been a tricky game to pin down. First announced in 2014 as part of a Shareholder Q&A, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto would go on to tell the media that it was "very close to completion" in September 2015. So what happened to it? In the ten months since, we've heard nothing about the next entry in the Pikmin franchise.
Thankfully, Game Rant tracked down Mr. Miyamoto at this year's E3 Expo to ask him about Pikmin 4. Being his usual candid self, the famed developer confirmed the game is still in development, however, he also admitted that Nintendo has been having trouble fitting into their schedule:
"Yes, you are right, and we're working on [Pikmin 4]. So, you know, when we're in development we have to create a list of priorities and it has been hard to kind of fit that into that list, but we're hopefully starting to see that on the list now."
Pikmin 4 was originally announced for the Wii U, but with Nintendo's NX console scheduled to launch in March 2017, it's possible that Pikmin 4's placement on the priority list could be a sign the game is moving to the new console. Nintendo has promised to reveal a bit more about the NX this Fall, but a one-two punch of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pikmin 4 would certainly help the new platform make a name for itself.

Compilations / Mixes
From the Fallen Page
There's an immediate appeal to Magda's From the Fallen Page that simply comes from it being so atypically loose compared to how one anticipates a M_nus release will sound. Oh, sure, Magda's funky space jams are sufficiently precision-tooled, but they also exude a meandering quality that brings out their distinctly human side. The novelty of that detail only counts for so much, however, and the album ultimately has to succeed or fail on its own merits. One of things that does distinguish the experimental album is its marriage of bumping dance grooves to an unusually macabre electronic design (Magdalena Chojnacka, we're told, set out to create a post-punk, dark disco set of soundtrack-inspired music but allowed the project to evolve into the form it gradually assumed).
Get Down Goblin (wonderful title) starts her hour-long debut album strongly with two minutes of spooky ambiance and Autobahn-styled languor before fixing itself in place with a chunky bass riff and neon-lit synth surges. A funkier edge gradually sneaks in that gives the track extra kick, and you'd be justified in thinking that the album might continue its sweet ride for the duration. Your Love Attack isn't quite at the opener's level but rights itself with the arrival of a bass-dragging and claps-driven disco groove halfway through, and Distance to Nowhere also memorably merges haunted house atmosphere and low-end rhythmning. At album's end, Japan cruises down the Autobahn a final time and, on this trip, splatters its funked-up pulse with Doppler-esque smears and spritzes of bright synthesizer colour.
That aforesaid looseness sometimes translates into listlessness, however. Breakout, for instance, boasts a wiry and funky melodic attack but is weakened by a rather lethargic bottom end that needs to be harder and tighter, and the featherweight groove makes the track sag when it should be digging in. Music Box also nicely weaves together Kraftwerk-styled melodic flourishes, a chiming interlude, and bass-heavy foundation, though once again the groove feels more sluggish than it should.
The other major weakness is that From the Fallen Page 's ten tracks could do with stronger narrative arcs. Many of them appear, explore various pathways, and then end without ever building in any dramatic way. Entertainment, for instance, alternates between atmospheric and beat-based episodes for eight minutes without ultimately amounting to anything terribly significant. More often than not, it's isolated elements and snatches of sound that catch the ear rather than whole tracks. One perks up at the low-slung bass dragging its way through Little Bad Habits but not much else registers. Add up the checks and balances and From the Fallen Page turns out to be a rather frustrating album boasting as many highs as lows.
