I've always been very interested in sciences and computers, but also by literature and writing.
In France, I was studying in general sciences in high school. On top of my many mathematics classes, I was specialized in physics and chemistry.
I arrived in Canada in 2006 and decided to change my study path. I first obtained a certificate in creative writing at UQAM. Then I was accepted into the journalism program. I received my Bachelor's degree in 2011.
I started to work for the television of Radio-Canada (French services of the Canadian Broadcasting Company) as soon as I finished my studies, for the show Caméra Boréale, for which I was sent in solitary on Baffin Island, in Nunavut.
Later on, I got a job in the Ontario newsroom. For three and a half years, I was a video journalist covering Northern Ontario. Shooting, editing, writing, voicing and TV/radio lives: I was doing everything!
In 2014/2015, I took the time to complete a Master in journalism at the University of King's College, in Halifax, under the supervision of Fred Vallance-Jones. I also decided to learn how to code.
I am now a data reporter for L'actualité, in Montreal!
Feel free to get in touch with me on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. 🙂

Atsara will be working on an outside space, instaling between the trees a luminokinetic works
The artistic team creates a site-specific intervention in the forest right behind the panorama viewpoint at the "Berghölzchen". In front of the dark background in the forest during night time there will be a sculpture of wire in between the trees, which will function as a reflection ground for a video projection. Only where the projected picture will hit the reflective wire, it will be visible, a big part disappears in the dark surrounding. The graphic animations burst in fragments, which seem to flow through the surface of the wires. The artists describe their work with the pun of the words "onde" and "monde" (french for "wave" and "world").
Atsara is a duo composed of Roland Devocelle and Audrey Rocher, working together since 2000 in the field of plastic arts, sound arts and corporeal art. They are based in France. Roland, Born in Valencia (Spain) and trained as Ceramic modeler, Audrey, born in Agen (France), followed political studies, are rooted in the improvising art. From one artistic discipline into another, their work expands, combines, provokes, inspires, enters into resonance. Sound art and visual art become indivisible. In 2008 they started to work with projections, focusing on interplays of objects in motion as projection areas. More

Audrey Rocher and Roland Devocelle are the artists' collective "Atsara". Their artistic research is dedicated to physical structures and principals as aesthetic phenomena and poetical realms. They will travel from Agen in the south of France to Hildesheim to realize a site-specific version of the installation "[M]ondes" at the outlook "Berghölzchen". The series of works called "[M]ondes" refer to the interplay of "monde" (en: world) and "onde" (en: wave).

Amma's Diner was nothing special, a couple of tables, three booths, and a counter. Old-fashioned even by small-town standards, it served all-day breakfast every day and a fish fry on Fridays. The diner sat right off Route one, on the very edge of the property Amma Brinna and her family had owned for three hundred years, a vast, mostly untracked, stretch of forest and lakes reaching into Canada.
Tall and lean, braided white hair piled on top of her head, Amma Brinna had been in this part of Northern Minnesota for as long as any of the locals could remember. Not that there were many locals. Lemming, Minnesota was almost as small as towns got. The official population count was three hundred and twenty-four if you included the snowbirds who migrated south right after New Year's and didn't come back until Memorial Day. Nearby meant within a day's drive or snowmobile, depending on the weather. Still, anyone passing through this area eventually stopped at Amma's, even just to use the bathroom.
Cookie was short and fat and bald. He'd been behind the counter since the opening day almost no one alive remembered.
It was eight in the morning Cookie's favorite time of day. After the small rush of caffeine-addicted long-haul truckers and early-morning hunters had gone and the regulars started coming in. They sat at the same table, ordered the same meals, and tossed around the same bullshit they'd been talking about for the last thirty years.
Cookie had been there so long the original crowd had passed on for the most part; these were the surviving sons and daughters of those old timers. Farmers, miners, and retired truckers, all drinking coffee and passing around pictures of grandkids in college sweatshirts and high school graduation gowns.
There were worse ways to spend a morning.
"Morning." Cookie brought a pot of coffee over to the table. "Ladies." The five regulars already had their mugs taken down from their places of honor on the pegboard on the wall. He didn't usually take orders, but they were a little short-handed since Debbie had finally run off with the Lundgren kid, heading for parts warmer and more populated. He was surprised it had taken her so long. For the most part, this was a land of old people. A few native sons and daughters returned with young children in tow, looking to give the kids the same childhood they had fled from right after high school. It was to be expected. Kids had to go out and make their own mistakes, find their own way in the world. Cookie had left his family at the ripe old age of sixteen. Course back then, sixteen was full-grown. Cookie liked to tell people was older than the rocks dirt was made from.
"How about this weather?" he asked the table. "Pretty warm out."
Nods all around. "For sure," Old Man Williamson answered. Jake was his real name, not that anyone used it. His father had been Old Man Williamson and the moniker had transferred with the man's death. He was all of sixty-seven years old but had worked many of those long hard years in the mines. "Not like Halloween ninety-one. Remember that?"
"You betcha," Sarah Williamson said. "We almost lost the dog in a snow drift."
Cookie filled up Martha Severson's cup and gave her wink. "Looking good this morning, Martha. Is that a new shirt?"
She pulled her shirt away from her body to double check which one she wore. "Oh, no. Gosh. It was a present from my daughter-in-law. Jessica? The one down in Chicago with Tommy?"
"Sure, sure." He nodded.
"You don't think it's too much, do you?"
He shook his head as he took in the black cat applique and the embroidered jack-o-lantern with flashing LED eyes.
"Nope, just right. So, the usual all around?"
Jake looked over the edge of his reading glasses at the menu. "You got any of the walleye hash? Any fresh?"
"You betcha. Nikolai brought me a fresh batch just yesterday."
Sarah perked up her ears at that. Cookie knew Sarah had her eyes on the new boy. Not for herself, for her gay grandson. Everyone was out and proud now; Cookie thought it was better that way. Secrets were bad for everything and everyone. Had a way of eating you up from the inside like cancer.
"So," Sarah said. "Did you find out if he has a girlfriend yet?" Her eyes twinkled. "Or a boyfriend?"
Cookie clicked his tongue sadly. "I think he might be dating Shyama."
"The new waitress?" Shyama had only been at the diner three years. She had a good long while to wait before she was no longer new.
"Talking about that Russian boy?" Old Man Williams asked.
"I thought he was a Gypsy," Pete added. That was a lot of words in a row for Pete.
"He's probably Russian Roma," Martha answered, nodding her head. "The gypsies from Russia. Good musicians, those."
All eyes turned to her. "What? I read things. You think all I do is crochet baby clothes and watch morning shows?"
"Kind of. Yeah." Sarah said.
"Oh you," Martha laughed, swatting her friend on the arm.
"Whatever he was, he's a good boy. Picked up hunting really quick."
"Bow hunting?" Rich Wilson asked. He'd been bow hunting since he was a kid himself and was always looking for someone new to recruit.
"He's got the eye for it."
Cookie excused himself and went back to the kitchen to get started on the orders. The gang could and would help themselves to more coffee in between solving all the problems of the world and discussing the weather.
The doorbell jingled as he flipped a batch of whole wheat pancakes onto plates and poured the warmed maple syrup into tiny metal pitchers. Little things made a big difference in Cookie's opinion. He didn't pay much mind to the bell. The gang would let him know if he needed to take care of it.
Sure enough, Jake's voice rang out. "Hey, Cookie, your boy is here. And he's got a friend."
Amma Brinna looked out the window at the sound of the horses' hooves crunching across the gravel parking lot. Something must be wrong; she hadn't expected Nikolai back for a few more days. Her breath caught at the sight of a second boy riding double on Wortako. Nikolai dismounted the tall horse with practiced ease. He stood with a hand on the stirrup, looking up at the other boy. The look on his face took her breath away. There is only one person he would be looking at like that. The boy laughed, brushing back his long white hair, and said something she couldn't make out to Nikolai. He slid gracefully out of the saddle, ignoring Nikolai's outstretched hand, and landed on the ground as lightly as a cat jumping from a shelf.
It was going to take them more than few minutes to unload Patsy and take care of the remains of the hunt. She didn't see any carcasses, just some bloody canvas bags with antlers. For some reason, they'd bought back just the heads. She used the time to finish clearing up the dishes, doing her best to ignore the sense of unease prickling down her spine. By the pricking of my thumbs, she thought, wiping her hands on her apron. The bell over the front door chimed, and she took a deep breath, centering herself before heading out to greet the boys.
A blast of cold air came in with them. Winter was just around the corner. She smelled snow in the cold air.
"Hi, Mrs. Severnson, Mr. Williams," Nikolai greeted the regulars as he passed. They were getting ready to leave, putting on coats and tossing fives and tens on the table.
"Hey, Nikolai," Bill answered. "Good hunting?"
Nikolai made a so-so gesture. "Not bad. New bow was good."
Brinna came out of the kitchen and gently herded the crowd out the door. They eyed Alexei curiously but didn't ask any questions. Brinna thanked the gods for Minnesota reticence.
"Hey, Amma." Nikolai leaned down to kiss her on the cheek.
He was such a good-looking young man, tall and strong, with curly black hair and blue eyes. Handsome and charming, all the single and not so single women, and some of the men, had had their eye on him since he'd shown up there two years ago. Nikolai had turned them all away, gently and kindly. Until, apparently, Shyama finally wore him down. Though Nikolai denied it, Brinna suspected there was more than simply friendship between them. Reading the body language between the two young men in front of her, however, she knew there was going to be a lot more solo television watching in Shyama's future.
Nikolai's introduction confirmed her suspicions. "Amma Brinna, this is Alexei. He's back," he ended simply.
Brinna knew there was nothing simple about it. She took the hand the boy held out, grasping it between both of her palms, much to his discomfort. "Look at me."
Startled, Alexei did, green eyes opening wide. She grabbed his chin, turning his face this way and put her hand over his heart. Finally, she pulled back, looking between the boys. She jerked her head towards the counter. "Coffee?"
"Yes, please."
The settled on stools as she poured coffee for all three of them. For the first time in a long time, she wished she had something a little stronger to add to it. She placed the cheap ceramic mugs down in front of them, hoping they didn't notice her hand shaking.
Cookie came out from the kitchen. "Hi, Nikolai. You're back early. Good hunting?" He poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Well, let's just say I got something I think you'll want to see."
Cookie extended a hand to Alexei. "Hi, there, I'm Cookie."
Cookie nodded. They drank their coffee in silence, the occasional slurp sounding overly loud in the stillness. Brinna leaned back against the counter, staring at them.
Nikolai stopped just short of slamming his coffee cup onto the counter. "So." He clapped his hands together once. "Anybody want to tell me what the fuck is going on?"
No. It wasn't supposed to be Brinna's job. That woman should have been there. Should have told the boy instead of grabbing Alexei and running away. Again. She always ran.
"Is the lady with you?" she asked Alexei.
"Her name is Stefanida. We were together, but we got split up." He swiveled on the stool, taking in the whole diner as if she might have been hiding under a table. "I was hoping she was here."
"Alexei fell out of a hole in the sky. Two really weird looking guys riding some kind of hell-elk came out the hole and tried to kill me. Anybody got anything that would possibly make that make sense?" When no one answered, he stood up. "Brinna? Nothing? Alexei, do you want to explain? No? Fucking great." He stood. "Well, I got to get these horses put away. You know where to find me when you decide you want to let me in on the big secret." He started to walk to the door.
Cookie stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. "I'll take care of the horses, son."
"Nikolai, please. Come back. I'll tell you what I know. I just don't think you'll believe me."
"Yeah, you said that last night."
Cookie slipped out the front door.
"Last night?" Amma Brinna asked.
"Yeah, you know I was headed towards the lake, right? Well, I was halfway there when he fell on me. Then we, you know, had to kill some things, and then he passed out. We barely made camp before dark."
"Okay." She finished her coffee. "But not here."
"Let me guess," Nikolai interrupted. "It's not safe here?"
She fixed him with a long, hard glare. "It's not safe anywhere, Nikolai. Not now. Ask him."
The door opened, and the ringing of the bell caught them all by surprise. A young girl buried under layers of coats and a fur-lined cap with ear flaps and an overly-large pom-pom on top walked in. "Hey, guys. What's going on?" There was a hint of an Indian accent to her speech, a deliberateness as if she was translating in her head before she spoke.
Shyama pulled off her cap, glossy black hair falling free. Walking over to Nikolai, she put a hand on the back of his chair and leaned over his shoulder. "You are home early. Did you scare the deer away with that giant circus horse of yours?"
Alexei's eyes narrowed as he watched her hand creeping up Nikolai's shoulder.
"You're home early, too."
Shyama shrugged. "What can I say? I missed you guys."
Shyama turned to Alexei, the broad smile on her face not matching the hard look in her deep brown eyes. "Who's this? Just passing through?"
Nikolai shrugged her hands off his shoulder. "He's my brother."
Her eyes widened. "The one who was missing?"
"One and the same." Alexei wished he could slide his stool wasn't bolted to the ground so he could slide closer to Nikolai.
"Wow." She looked him over, top to bottom. "You are a babe; that's for sure. But I have to say; you look nothing like Nikolai. Are you sure you are brothers?"
"No," Nikolai echoed Brinna's thoughts. "Not really. I think there's a lot I don't know about."
"Oh." She sucked air in through her teeth. "Well, so. This was very awkward, I think. I can tell you're in the middle of something." She twisted her hat in her hands. "Should I come back later, Amma?"
"No, thank you, Shyama. You aren't on the schedule, and anyway, I'm going to close the diner early tonight. Why don't you come in tomorrow for breakfast?"
"Sure." She extended a hand to Alexei. Alexei reluctantly shook it. "It was nice meeting you. I hope I get to hear the whole story soon. Maybe Nikolai can bring you back tomorrow?"
"Maybe." He pulled his hand away.
The door chimed again as Cookie came back in. "Horses are set, Nikolai."
"I'm going to close up early today, Cookie," Amma Brinna said.
Cookie nodded, taking off his gloves.
Shyama leaned in close to him. "So, Cookie, I saw you flirting with Martha Severnson the other day. Anything I should know about? Do I have to give you the talk?"
"Don't get smart with me, young lady. You just live your own life. Don't you be worrying about two dried up old coots and what we do or don't do on our free time."
"Oh, man, Cookie, I wasn't thinking about that until you said it." Nikolai covered his eyes. "Now I won't be able to look Martha in the eye tomorrow."
"Get your mind out of the gutter, young man. Martha is a lady. Not that it's any of your business, but nothing's happened between us. We went to dinner once. Saw a movie. That's it."
"Better up your game, old man. Women don't like to wait forever. Someone else will snap her up. She's a catch."
Shyama smacked Nikolai. "Like you're one to give advice on what a woman wants." She put her hat back on and turned to Nikolai. She leaned in to kiss him on the cheek, but he pulled away quickly, leaving her inches from his face. She frowned. "Does this new arrival mean we're going to have to cancel our Netflix date for tomorrow?"
Nikolai looked down at the floor. "Yeah, I think so."
She pouted, crowding against him, breasts pushed up against his arm. "Too bad. I really like our dates." She straightened up. "Getting cold out there. You might want to change out of whatever that is you're wearing, Alexei. Get some flannel. Cookie, don't do anything I wouldn't do. Later."
She left, the door banging closed behind her.
Nikolai wouldn't make eye contact with Alexei.
"Why doesn't she just pee in a circle around you?" Alexei frowned at the door.
Brinna made a sound of disbelief, and they both turned to her. "I think a jealous girl is the least of your problems, Alexei Sirota. Don't you?"
Alexei deflated. "Yeah. I do. I wish it wasn't so."
"I'll go out the back, lock up," Cookie offered.
Out in the parking lot, Nikolai opened the bloody canvas bags and showed Cookie the heads inside. Cookie gently touched one of the razor-edged antlers. "Huh," he said. "That's different."
"Let's go home. We have much to talk about." She held out a hand to forestall Nikolai's protests. "I promise. I will tell you everything I know. But I'm warning you now; it's not much. I think Alexei is the one we really need to hear from. And he's going to tell you everything. Right, Alexei? Everything?"
Alexei rubbed the heels of his hands into his eyes as if he could push reality away if he didn't have to look at it. "Yeah. But I wish I didn't have to."
"You wouldn't have to if your mother hadn't run away like she always did."
"She said, the note said, that she had to. She had to leave with Alexei to keep us all safe." Nikolai said.
Buying time to gather her thoughts, Brinna walked over to the front door, checking that it was locked and that the neon closed sign was glowing in the window. Satisfied, she walked over to her Black SUV. "Stefanida may have thought that, but I think she may have ruined us all."

· Alcoholism
· Violence
These elements have eating up the peace of many families.
What are the dangers?
Alcoholic beverages is not condemn in any way but drunkenness is absolutely bad, some loss their control over a small or big alcoholic, it can damage the peace in the family, some feel frustrated when their have struggled to stop alcohol yet find it hard to stop, causing anger anxiety, lack of self-respect, children are deeply affected by their parent involvement in alcohol.
This however, has resulted in physical assault, sexual molestation, children suppressing their feelings.
One funny part of it is that a drunker does not agree he or she has a problem.
So what to do is this, according to one physician, the vital thing to do as a family is to go on about their business of living in the healthiest way.
The alcoholism may put the blame on the family as the cause of his or her drinking habits, perhaps saying that they never treated him or her well that is why he drinks, one can become a victim to alcoholism by condition or circumstances.
Whichever way, we are fully responsible over what we do, so their ought to feel the effect of his drinking habits.
Whichever way, we are fully responsible over what we do, so their ought to feel the effect of his drinking habits.
Get help from others, especially your true friend. A true companion is a brother during problem so accept help from others, Alcoholism in the family can only bring no joy but distress, pain, disgrace and family apart. Separation, divorce.
Meeting those who have first-hand experience, trusted friend, and people who really understand the problem can help you out, yes! God can still help you, he said to help those who are broken at heart, those crushed in spirit, he knows how hard the situation is having an alcoholic family.
There are families today having plenty problem in the house, husband who beat their wives, also wives who assault the husband, parent beating the children, and also children abusing their parent, yes this is the affect and result of alcoholism in the family.
Domestic violence has been an order of the day in many houses, the damage is more than a scars, what about shames, and feeling or guilty, worst of all is when the children glows up there may build a family full of violence.
Speaking senselessly is among an act of domestic violence, calling names, you are this you are that, shouting on top their voice, criticism, insult, threat and more of it are also domestic violence.
Emotional violence is not notice in a person, this can spoil the spirit of your child, parent should learn especially father to avoid exasperating their young children.
Your thinking determines if you are violence or not, you can chance and build in you a new personality. Love your wife as your own body, give them honor.
In turn, wife should also respect and love their husband, both of you should stop any physical abuse, no screaming, thoughtless saying, address each other with respect.
If not, do not feel surprised seeing your children acting bad or behaving like a popular slogan, like father like son or like mother like daughter.
Show honor to older ones, treat them with care and love, children too should give due compensation to their parent with respect and dignity. Providing financial support for them.
Do not allow anger glow in you, settle any issues immediately, don't loss your anger, and instead leave the place until your anger are gone. Control your anger by engaging in social activities.
Alcoholism and violence will soon end, love and peace will prevail. God never left his purpose of creating the earth and family, a new world that will bring peace and security.
Violence, alcoholism, fear and pain will be the things of the past, you and your family will be happy together with abundance peace.

So for the last couple of weeks to celebrate Miss Dolly Parton being in the UK I thought that as I was unable to get tickets to the tour, I would bring a touch of the USA and Miss Dolly to us ! We have enjoyed drinking sweet tea, eating BBQ Southern style food, listening to the sounds of Dolly and enjoying a Dolly Movie Night ! Plus of course some southern fashion ! The girls wore blue star leggings and stripe hair bands for the 4th July!
We finished off on the 4th July with some American hot dogs and American treats including waffles with blueberries and maple syrup !
Here's our tribute to Dolly and the USA in pictures – Happy 4th July y'all !

Creating Guides in a Photoshop document using Python- Part Three
Its been pretty straight forward to setup a function that allows a user defined number of guides to be added to an active document. I've plugged it into the Texture Toolset, so that when a user clicks the 'add guides' button, they get presented with:
'One million divisions!'
As an example, asking for '1' division will give you a reasonable result.
Ask for a stupid amount and it will give you a stupid result...
Whoo! Cyan for the win. But seriously, making the guides script has been a good excuse to use the script listener, and I'm pretty happy with the results.

Former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Arthur Levitt says fair-value accounting — the mark-to-market rule that forces companies to report the value of assets — should not be undone just because of the credit crisis.
Levitt is dismayed and puzzled that some of the largest banking and financial services trade groups are aggressively lobbying the SEC to suspend the accounting rule, currently in place.
"Accounting sleights-of-hand hid the true risks of assets and liabilities troubled firms were carrying, distorted the markets, and caused investors to lose the confidence necessary for our markets to function properly," Levitt writes in The Wall Street Journal.
Reporting assets at what they are worth allows investors and regulators to see how management is performing, Levitt says.
That knowledge is fundamental to determining whether or not an institution has sufficient capital and liquidity.
"It's like your personal balance sheet," Levitt notes. "If you say everything you own is worth twice as much as it is in today's market, then you are misleading those who are relying on the data you give them, and you will ultimately destroy their trust and willingness to do business with you."
Contrary to what the critics claim, fair value is not liquidation value, Levitt points out.
"It is an accurate reflection of the value of an asset or cost of a liability, and what taxpayers should pay for assets."
Fair value does not make markets more volatile, Levitt says. It makes the risk profile more visible and is the "tough medicine" firms must take in order to restore investor confidence.
Not everyone agrees with Levitt.
First Trust Portfolios chief economist Brian Westbury says that while it's true that the root of the credit crunch was bad mortgage loans, probably 70 percent of the financial crisis today was caused by mark-to-market accounting in an illiquid market, Forbes reports.

Do I have PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may start within three months of a traumatic event, but sometimes symptoms may not appear until years after the event. These symptoms cause significant problems in social or work situations and in relationships.
PTSD symptoms vary from Veteran to Veteran and are generally grouped into four types: intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood, or changes in emotional reactions. (2)
PTSD symptoms can vary in intensity over time. You may have more
PTSD symptoms when you're stressed in general, or when you run into
reminders of what you went through. For example, you may hear a car
backfire and relive combat experiences or you may see a report on the
news about a sexual assault and feel overcome by memories of your
own assault.

Meetings will start on a

will be held at

"Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a traumatic event. A traumatic event is a life-threatening event such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or physical or sexual assault in adult or childhood."(1)
PTSD affects about 7.7 million American adults in a given year, though the disorder can develop at any age including childhood. According to the VA, experts estimate that up to 20% of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans,up to 10% of Gulf War veterans, and up to 30% of Vietnam War veterans have experienced PTSD.

JUSTIN PIPE had to dig deep to avoid being another big-name casualty at the William Hill World Darts Championship as he overcame qualifier Bernie Smith 4-2 in a deciding set on Wednesday night.
International qualifiers Paul Lim and Kevin Munch have both followed up preliminary round wins by knocking out seeded stars in the first round, and New Zealand's Smith was aiming to follow that lead.
The plasterer from Christchurch had defeated China's Xiao Chen Zong in straight sets earlier in the night, and battled from two sets down to level against Pipe.
Smith then missed two match darts in the deciding set as Pipe forced a tie-break before rescuing his own chances in the tournament as three successive legs moved him into the last 32 against retiring legend Phil Taylor.
"I'm over the moon, honestly," said Pipe. "At two sets up I was cruising and thinking about playing Phil Taylor in his last ever World Championship - but that's no good, you can't think ahead, you have to focus.
"Playing Phil, I'm going to just relax and throw. I'm going to absolutely love playing him in his last ever World Championship.
"I can relax now playing against Phil, I was so tense tonight, all I wanted to do was win and that's what I've done.
"I didn't think I'd go 2-0 up and I just took my foot off the gas, but I won't be doing that on Saturday."
Number 13 seed Michael Smith had a similar struggle to Pipe as, despite hitting the most 180s in a match so far this year with ten, he watched a 2-0 lead against Irish newcomer Steve Lennon disappear.
Smith, however, took control of that final set after Lennon had battled back bravely, closing with a 14-darter as he marched into the second round to face Rob Cross.
"The first two sets I was struggling but I found myself 2-0 up," said Smith. "Then I started to kind of get going and it was two sets all.
"I didn't want to go to that shoot-out again, every year I've been going 2-2 in the last set so I wanted to win it quick.
"Fair play to Steve, he pushed me all the way. That second set when I checked the 150 I thought that would kill him but he came out even better so all credit to him.
"I'm happy with the 180s just not the game, I need to get more consistent for the next round.
"Its a longer format next, I struggled there and still got a 93 average, so when I'm playing well I'll average 100 easily."
Former finalist Simon Whitlock was far from his best as he struggled with illness, but managed to scrap his way to a 3-1 win over Martin Schindler in the first round at Alexandra Palace.
The tenth seed averaged 87.42 and hit five 180s but converted just 11 of his 39 attempts at double as he scratched around for form against the young German.
"I'm pleased and very relieved to get the win because I wasn't at my best," said Whitlock. "That was very ugly, I struggled a lot - I've been sick all week with the 'flu and I just felt tired, weak and hot out there.
"I've got some fire in the belly and that's what got me through in the end. I've seen a lot of good players go out and I did not want to be one of them.
"I'm ranked number ten in the world now I've had a great last 18 months winning five tournaments and playing really good darts. I've been working so hard trying to get back into the top ten and I've got there now.
"Ten's not good enough for me; I want to be back in the top five again - I know I'm good enough."
The first round concludes on Thursday with the remaining four matches, headlined by Peter Wright's tie with Brazilian debutant Diogo Portela, with the number two seed having overcome gallstones to line up at Alexandra Palace.
Spanish pair Cristo Reyes and Toni Alcinas face off, while Belgium's Kim Huybrechts takes on James Richardson and Darren Webster clashes with South Africa's Devon Petersen.

MISSISSAUGA – With Josh Burnside graduating from the OHL, Steelheads GM James Boyd had the job to find his next player to captain his team for the upcoming season. Mikey McLeod is his guy.
McLeod is the 5th captain in Steelheads franchise history, joining the likes of previous captains such as Leafs prospect Stuart Percy, Bryson Cianfrone, Brett Foy, and most recent captain Josh Burnside.
McLeod fits the bill of a prototypical captain. He's a vocal guy off the ice, relates well to his teammates, and is a excellent competitor and hard worker on the ice, giving it 100% each time he's on the ice. McLeod is also a very productive player.
The 18 year old had a very successful sophomore campaign, beginning with him winning a gold medal with Team Canada at the Ivan Hlinka U18 Tournament last summer. McLeod continued that solid tournament with a great regular season tallying 21 goals and 40 assists in only 57 games.
Shortly after Mississauga was eliminated from the OHL Playoffs, McLeod once again represented Canada at the U18 World Hockey Championships, in which McLeod had 4 points in 7 games, in a fourth place finish.
The Mississauga native is a projected early-to-mid first round pick in this year's NHL draft, but McLeod is expected to be back with the Steelheads come next season, which made perfect sense for GM James Boyd to give him the captaincy.
NOTE: Current assistant captains, Stefan LeBlanc and Damian Bourne are expected to return for their final season of junior as overagers.

covaro Posted August 25, 2000 Looks like we can never run away from bugs, they always seem to appear. *sighs* Well, what do you expect, they are so very evil after all. And seems that even a project with a name like Kill can become infected as well. Here's the little blurb that Ike sent in... sorry, I need to add a blockquote![quote] My beta-testers must have been tired or something, as a very critical bug in Kill has slipped through. A visplane overflow in E1M2's startroom has occured. I've uploaded a patch on my page. Also, I've had some more ideas for ROD. One is that I'm limiting the number of total levels to just three. This is to make room for my next TC (no news or even planning yet). Also, if anyone would like to make levels for ROD, please contact me! As for Kill, production has hit a slowpoint (it'll pick up when school starts. Don't ask how). I'm working on E2M5 currently, and it's going well. It looks like E2 will have less "redecorating" than the first episode, and will also contain more outside areas.
Now, what makes the grass grow? Blood I tell you. And how do we get blood? We Kill Kill KILL! 0 Share this post Link to post

We had the most amazing stay here. Alexandra and Jorge made us feel so at home and were the perfect hosts. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Our babies loved the farm animals, in particular the calf, next door to our house. If you stay here you absolutely have to eat the meals as they are amazing. A great way to sample produce direct from the farm. We tried the pork which was incredibly tasty and well cooked and next time would love to try the beef also from the farm. Another MUST whilst staying here is to take Jorge up on the offer of a tour of the farm. Thanks for a great stay!

What It Must be Like to Live With Someone With No Memory
Every couple of days it seems that some item that Presidential son-in-law, chief Middle East negotiator on paper and all around novice in government affairs, Jared Kushner, has to amend his various government filings because he 'just forgot' to include stuff. This includes millions of assets and investments and probably hundreds of meetings he had with foreign nationals.
So here is pure speculation on what it must be like with Jared and his wife Ivanka.
Ivanka: Jared the kids are not home, didn't you get them from the birthday party last night?
Jared: We have kids?
Ivanka: Yes dear, and I took them to a party and you were going to bring them home.
Jared: Well I think I forgot, but don't worry, the Petersons would have just kept them, like they did the three other times I forgot.
Ivanka: Yeah, I will tell the maids and the gardeners to look for the Petersons to bring them home around 10. Oh, and the smoke alarm went off a few minutes ago.
Jared: I think I forgot to turn off the stove.
Ivanka: Not a problem, the cook's assistant will take care of it. And if we need a new stove Daddy will get us one. He has stuff shipped out of the White House to his clubs all the time.
Jared: I need to see your brother Junior this morning, he said I was at a meeting he hosted and that he would type up some notes of what I said. I need to memorize them in case that horrible Bobby Mueller asks about the meeting. No one believes me when I say I can't remember.
Ivanka: (sighing) If they lived here they would believe you. And don't forget to kiss Daddy's ring when you go in to work, he hates it when you don't remember that.
Jared: I do kiss something every time I see him, I just don't think it's his ring.

After a nice 2 hour train ride from Seville, we arrived in Cadiz mid-day on Monday. The train ride was uneventful and even though we weren't on a high speed train, we still zipped through the pretty country side at almost 100 MPH. The trip was through farming/agriculture areas--mostly orange orchards, but also some olive groves and fields of produce.
At the Cadiz station we easily found a taxi to our hotel in the Old Town section of Cadiz. We are staying at La Catedral, a small hotel right across from the Cathedral de Cadiz.
Here's the front of our hotel, our balconies are the 2nd floor, the two on the right:
Our room is nice, fairly roomy, and with two balconies facing the Plaza. I asked for a room with a view of the Cathedral, and we sure got it--it's right in front of our window!
(the red barriers are left over from Semana Santa celebrations)
Our room wasn't ready so we left our bags and set off exploring, looking for a place for some lunch--breakfast was many hours ago! We wandered through the narrow streets until we came to a large Plaza. We chose a small bar/cafe with outside setting (duuhhh!) . We had a delicious lunch of grilled squid and octopus--both very good. Of course, we had a couple of cold beverages--beer for David and sangria for me.
We also had entertainment with our lunch. A flamenco dancer set up a small wood platform in front of the cafe, and accompanied by just a solo male singer, proceeded to dance her heart out! It was lovely--and we enjoyed how she put her "all" into her art. I LOVE the sound her shoes made on the wood platform!
After our relaxing, entertaining and delicious lunch we walked back to our hotel to see if our room was ready. It was, so we quickly unpacked and then wandered around some more, getting acquainted with our new neighborhood. It was siesta time, so most places were closed.
We turned down a side street towards the ocean and walked for a few blocks. The ocean was sparkling, the skies were brilliant blue and there was a nice breeze.
We were expecting a much different ocean front and beach scene in Cadiz. We'd pictured beautiful beaches lined with small cafes and bars, envisioning long walks on the beach, leisurely fresh seafood lunches and drinking ice cold sangria with our toes in the sand. Hmmmm--don't think we'll get that here in Cadiz! So far, we haven't found any beachfront dining--the cafes and restaurants are across a wide street from the beach, mostly in fancy hotels and such. These are in the newer part of town--not really much beachfront in old town. Oh, well--we are pretty adaptable, and I'm sure well relax with a few cold sangrias--even if our toes aren't in the sand!
We turned back in the direction of our hotel, and noticed that the Cathedral was open--so we decided that now was a good time for a visit. We paid our admission fee, which was kind of expensive at 5E each--I think this is the most we've ever paid to see a church!
La Catredal de Cadiz, completed in 1838, sits on the site of an older cathedral that was built in 1260. It's style is an odd mix of baroque, rococo and neoclassic. While it wasn't the most interesting or beautiful church we've seen, I think it had a simple charm and nice ambiance.
About 8 pm we went out for dinner, walking a big loop through the winding streets. We ended up back at the same plaza where we had lunch. After looking at menus at most of the restaurants, we just picked the nearest cafe, plopped ourselves down and each ordered a plate of pasta and a glass of wine! Nothing fancy, but good enough for us.
Good night from Cadiz!
Our plan for tomorrow: To get a medical (blood) test to check David's warfarin levels. His Doctor wanted his levels checked mid-trip--now that should be an adventure!
