IRKUTSK, RUSSIA—This Sunday, Russians will vote in their seventh parliamentary election since the fall of the Soviet Union. The last three of those elections—all of them under the government of Vladimir Putin—were assessed by Western observers as falling far short of European standards of democracy. The last vote, in 2011, was marred by especially high—and especially blatant—manipulation and fraud, as some 14 million votes were estimated to have been "stolen" in favor of Putin's party, and was followed by mass protests across the country, when tens of thousands of people went to the streets to demand free and fair elections. This was the first time Putin's Kremlin was not in control of the political agenda—and, for a short while, it seemed that the regime was beginning to crumble.
The Kremlin recovered and regained its grip—but never forgot (or forgave) its fright of December 2011. The sticks were plenty—from increased repression and new political prisoners jailed under the "Bolotnaya Square case" to numerous political restrictions rubberstamped by the Duma , itself the product of the fraudulent 2011 vote.
But the regime also rolled out a carrot. Determined to prevent a repeat of the "protest winter" of 2011-2012, the Kremlin is going to great lengths to put up an appearance of a "free and fair" vote in 2016.
The campaign began with the dismissal of Election Commission chairman Vladimir Churov, whose name has come to epitomize fraud and abuse, and whose resignation was one of the main demands of the 2011-2012 protests. He was replaced by Ella Pamfilova, a reputable and well-respected former human rights ombudswoman, who has publicly vowed to avoid a repeat of the protests by removing the worst abuses that marked the 2011 vote. Unlike five years ago, a wide spectrum of opposition candidates—including 18 parliamentary candidates backed by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former oil tycoon and political prisoner and the Kremlin's leading opponent—have been allowed on the ballot. An extensive OSCE observer mission was invited to Russia to monitor the vote. The vote count—at least in large cities, with more media attention and wider Internet access—is expected to avoid the most blatant rigging, such as the one that took place in 2011 in Moscow's polling precinct #6 , when the ruling United Russia party saw its result changed from 18 to 74 percent, while the opposition Yabloko party went from 19 to 0.6 percent.
Of course, none of this makes the 2016 election genuinely free or fair. The years of government resources spent on propping up the regime and vilifying its opponents cannot be undone by a few weeks of ostensible competition. State television continues to act as a publicity agent for pro-regime candidates. Opposition candidates continue to be harassed and detained by police . Several opposition leaders—including Khodorkovsky and Alexei Navalny—are barred from the ballot altogether by politically motivated court sentences. The most prominent leader of Russia's opposition, Boris Nemtsov —who had a significant chance of winning a parliamentary seat from the city of Yaroslavl, where he served as a regional legislator—was assassinated last year in plain sight of the Kremlin.
Yet the Kremlin's window-dressing has provided a small opening for a new generation of opposition activists—most notably, from Khodorkovsky's Open Russia movement, whose candidates are spread across the country, from St. Petersburg to Irkutsk—to appeal directly to Russian citizens and present them with a democratic European alternative to a regime of nepotism, authoritarianism and isolation. This alternative may not win just yet. But its very emergence could prove a lasting challenge to Vladimir Putin's system—and a new hope for the future of Russia.

My logo was actually influenced by homeopathy. The Local Homeopathy Society of London and Bristol has two lions fighting with each other. This symbolises treating like with like. In homeopathy you treat an illness by inducing the same symptoms. This is feeding fire with fire. The logo is feeding art with art – fighting against art with art.
The logo is really intense. It represents artistic attitude. I wanted it to be something that represented the best an art institution can represent in terms of its spirit and attitude.
In homeopathy the remedy is very diluted – but from the perspective of homeopathy it's intensified. Dilution makes it more effective than the orginal. It is so dilute that you can't prove the solution contains the remedy. As it becomes more potent you lose the scientific rationale. Art is more potent, too, as you lose a scientific rationale.
|Logo by Klaus Weber
Zebras are also beautiful animals. And I love nature. Nature and art are totally on the same wavelength because both are anti-civil. One is by nature anti-civil – and art itself should work against civilisation.
The zebras are definitely fighting, they are not playing. There is a German saying "where there is love there is also fighting." They are gay, but they have never told anyone."

TIP: Some prices are WRONG on the online menu (as of Sat-Mar-19).
TIP: Lots of gluten-free items!
Pisto Andaluz ($6) stewed peppers, tomatoes, squash, onions
- Boooring. Get something more interesting.
- Special of the day.
- Salted cod wrapped in piquillo pepper and with a sweet sauce.
- Sweet sauce juxtaposed with the slightly salty cod nicely... but $6 per piece? Argh.
Paella Mixta ($28)
- Winner! Just price for portion is a great deal -- You get a plate that's like 2-3 mains worth.
- Lots of really flavourful rice (though on the salty side).
- Tender calamari, not hard-rubbery.
- Two HUGE prawns. Even the smaller prawns aren't wimpy shrimps.
- Lots of mussels and clams.
- Sadly, you have to dig up chicken and sausage like rare treasure.
- If you are daunted by the prices of everything else for tiny tapas plates, just order this and nothing else. Not only will the price fill you up, but averaging $14 per person as a main, this is a steal for what you get -- and at $28 per order, it's already $2 more than just a few months ago.
- Just for this fab deal, Bodega gets maximum marks even with OK service and a too-busy room.
Bombon de higos ($7 for four) figs filled with almonds, mascarpone, and dipped in chocolate
- Four large figs. They use whole figs which are obviously not of exactly the same size, but of whatever size they grew on the tree.
- Quite a heavy dessert because of the chocolate as well as the generous amount of almonds stuffed inside. Best for four persons, each person getting one fig.
- Overall sounded more interesting than it was tasty. Light sweetness from the fig, strong chocolate presence, and the rest was just a heavy filling feeling from the dense nuts. I recommend you to have had only a light dinner before going for this dessert. Or maybe they'll let you have a half portion.
- Came very quickly to the table, and chilled, so I suspect these are pre-made and sitting in the fridge ready for deployment.
Super-busy first-come-first-served room that was almost full on a Friday night even at 5:30 PM! Some pretty hot servers.
Music is loud but the ambient conversation is what makes hearing your dining companion across the already smallish table from you almost impossible.
Would be nice if they labelled the washrooms as such. Three non-descript doors opposite the open kitchen are unisex bathrooms.
TIP: Starting 2016-Feb-1, every Monday 15% of food sales are donated to Rethink Breast Cancer.

No, I'm not famous. Not yet, anyways. Right now I'm hooked on to DCG's blog. Those who are Maltese know to whom I'm referring. She's pasting nasty pictures of famous people on her blog. Brilliant! I just love gossiping! Now we can see asses and bosoms of certain high-status Maltese people. Ah, so they party and drink like we do! They even have affairs and hear hear, make mistakes! So what, one asks? I remember in my good old days (ok, not so old) we used to use to word 'idol' or 'pop idol'. It meant that we saw popstars or famous people as ideal people, therefore, we wanted to live the same life as they lived, that being, having fun, money to swim in and partying all the time. We never mentioned the paparazzi, stress and long hours of work they required to be famous. There was another downside. Their lives was one hell of an open book. They can't move without paps taking photos of them in Hollywood, L.A and maybe in a posh holiday destination. Not Malta! Do we see paps in Malta? No, unless maybe when Sean Connery comes to Malta (which is rare and which he does with discretion). But here we're talking about politicians and the lot taking photos of themselves and putting them on, yes you guessed, Facebook! In a way, the paparazzi are the 'pop idols' themselves. That's where I get frustrated. They're professionals for God's sake! I'm a professional myself and be careful what to do in public nowadays. I cringe when I see my 16-year old students in Paceville (which I started avoiding). Ok, I don't show my behinds like there was shown in DCG's blog but I still feel uncomfortable. As a professional I have to show that I'm serious in what I do, everywhere! I don't go around wearing transparent garments for a lecture. Case in point tonight. Yes, a professional (very high in education) was wearing a transparent top, with her bra strap falling off during a lecture. I remember during my uni days that we had a talk from another professional high up (higher this time) in education. She was preaching what to wear for an interview. Her shirt was a tad size too small and her lacy, white bra was showing. My friend and I were utterly disgusted. Even the guys were- it wasn't a sexy view! That's what comes with being a professional. You get criticised all the time. You get people whom their job is to scrutinise you all the time. Us teachers get that alot from parents, especially when there is more than one class in a grade. You either stick with it or leave it. Simple! But please if professionals want to take photos of themselves having a blast of a time during a private (hopefully) party, they keep the photos to themselves. Simple! Well, maybe not so simple to people who have degrees and masters!
On a lighter note, Ady and I went to a lecture tonight which was quite good (except that I had to bear with the high-in-education lady who kept fixing her bra strap which was slipping off and which I could see from her transparent top). Ah, the south is beautiful. We rarely go there nowadays. Since today was a warm day, we could enjoy the warm breeze in Kalkara while we walked near the boats. Simply delightful! I'll miss Malta a little bit so I'm enjoying these little moments which in UK you can't really enjoy. I met an old friend of mine and a lecturer who kept giving me advice what to do when I move to UK. He also talked to Ady and started giving HIM advice. Ah, adults adults! Well, I must be off to my talking bed since tomorrow is quite busy with lectures and errands.

What happened
Continue Reading Below
When it rains, it pours for OncoMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: OMED). The biotech was down 35% at 1:57 p.m. EDT after announcing a double dose of bad news.
So what
The biotech's phase 2 trial, called YOSEMITE, tested its drug candidate demcizumab in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. It failed to show that demcizumabadded to Abraxane and gemcitabine worked better than just the combination of Abraxane and gemcitabine.
More From Fool.com
Both treatments produced a median progression-free survival -- that's how long it takes for the tumor to start growing or death, whichever comes first -- of 5.5 months. Overall survival didn't look any better, with a median survival rate of 13.2 months for the patients treated with demcizumab, Abraxane, and gemcitabine, while the median overall survival for the group treated with Abraxane and gemcitabine couldn't be calculated because less than half of the patients had died.
Image source: Getty Images.
Separately, OncoMed Pharmaceuticals announced that its partner Bayer decided not to exercise its option to license two other drugs in OncoMed's pipeline, vantictumab and ipafricept, for "strategic reasons."
If Bayer's decision was really because the phase 1 drugs didn't fit into its pipeline, the decision could be a windfall for OncoMed Pharmaceuticals. Bayer has already paidover $90 million in upfront and milestone payments, and now OncoMed can license them to another company.
But the worry is that vantictumab and ipafricept don't fit into Bayer's strategy because the German pharma isn't excited about the drugs' potential. Both drugs are in ongoing phase 1 trials, and while interim data presented last year looked promising, Bayer has presumably seen more data since the last public update.
Now what
OncoMed is down, but certainly not out.
For demcizumab, the biotech has an ongoing phase 2 trial called DENALI in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. While the YOSEMITE trial data shouldn't give investors much confidence in positive results from DENALI, it's possible that demcizumab's target, a protein called DLL4, might be more important for lung cancer progression than for pancreatic cancer.
OncoMed also has a phase 2 trial called PINNACLE, testing another drug, tarextumab, in small cell lung cancer; it is due to read out data in the first half of this year, which could increase OncoMed's valuation in the short term.
And if OncoMed can repartner vantictumab and ipafricept, investors will be more confident that the issue was with Bayer and not the drugs' potential.

If they serve it, will they come?
As it turns out, they will. In droves. And this year's Ocean City Community Christmas Dinner , its 28th edition, promises to be the biggest one yet.
"Our goal is to have 1,500 meals ready to go on Friday," said Mike Lukens, whose wife Peaches came up with the idea almost three decades ago. "Every year it gets bigger and every year we don't run out of food. I'm not sure how it all comes together so well, it just works."
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Christmas Day, Sunday, Dec. 25th at St. Peter's United Methodist Church, 501 E. 8th St. in Ocean City. If anyone would like to join the legion of more than 100 community volunteers involved in the event, they should call 609-398-8781.
The event concept is simple: free turkey and ham buffet dinners are served for anyone who shows up. Take-out meals are encouraged and volunteers deliver to shut-ins and provide transportation for others to attend. Entertainment includes musicians and a karaoke machine.
There is also a "gift room" where presents mysteriously show up for distribution to deserving recipients. Two kids rode away on brand new bikes at a recent dinner, Mike said. Gift cards donated by local businesses are given out to attendees.
But that's just part of the story. The dinner is not just about giving people a place to go who have nowhere else on Christmas. It's about the holiday spirit, volunteerism, and, well, fun.
"It's Christmas!" Lukens said. "It's more like a party."
Stories from the event are too numerous to list here, but several stand out. One year Lukens observed a family of five that ate and then pitched in to help. The husband, wife and all three kids helped in the kitchen, helped serve food and helped with the cleanup. "I have to talk to these people," Lukens said to himself.
Turns out the family was from Chicago and they take a Christmas road trip every year by throwing a dart at a map of the United States. That year, the dart happened to land near Ocean City. "They told me it was the best trip they ever took as a family," Mike said. "It was a Christmas miracle!"
Another time, a family showed up around 3 p.m. and Mike told them they should sit down and eat before the event closed.
"They told me no, we're good…we are just here to help clean up. That was epic!"
The event has evolved over the years. It began at the Youth Center, with Lukens and his volunteers brining in all the food and equipment into the facility. It then moved to Ocean City Baptist Church where the event had access to a kitchen. After a few more years, the dinner outgrew its new home and moved again to St. Peter's, where it has been ever since.
"We get all kinds of people," Lukens went on. "There are (nursing home) residents, volunteers who help set up and then join us to eat, or just people from around town."
If this sounds like "an Ocean City thing," Lukens couldn't agree more.
"It's such an Ocean City thing! One thing I've learned over the years is that people want to help. People want to volunteer. This is something they can plug right into."
He singled out Ward's Bakery, OC Surf Café, Arlene's on Asbury and Spadafora's Seafood among the most loyal supporters, but he gives a caveat to that.
"If I start naming businesses and people I will forget someone, but also, most don't even like to be recognized. They are doing this out of pure kindness and they ask nothing in return."
Each year the event kicks off around Thanksgiving with a letter to the community soliciting donations. And everything just seems to fall into place from there, Lukens said.
"Right now there are about 40 turkeys thawing out at St. Peters that people have donated," he said. "Other people bring fully cooked turkeys, hams, side dishes, the works."
In recent years, the bulk of the logistics and planning have been handed down from Mike and Peaches to their daughter, Halley.
"Last year, I looked up and there was Max, my 4-year-old grandson, who was helping to clean up. I thought to myself, 'yes, this is kind of neat.'"
Neat, indeed. Just another Christmas miracle, Ocean City-style.


text: Hollies are evergreen shrubs with usually thorny leaves, they thrive well in any soil except extremities but dislike drought and heat. 'Bacciflava' variety has yellow fruits. Varieties usually don't come true from seed but we have propagated this variety from seed as an experiment and although there is no guarantee that the seedlings will have yellow berries, they are worth a try. Either way, these seedlings will grow well and form a nice evergreen shrub.

microwave dryer advantages of equipment
1, microwave dryer, short, fast
Conventional thermal sterilization is used to transmit heat from the surface of the food to the interior through heat conduction, convection, or radiation. It often takes a long time to get the germicidal temperature. The QG microwave series customized air dryer, air steam dryer, air steam drying machine with large capacity and high efficiency is the direct interaction between microwave energy and microorganisms such as food and bacteria. The interaction between heat effect and non thermal effect can achieve fast warming and bactericidal action, and the processing time is greatly reduced. The sterilization effect of various materials is usually 3-5 minutes.
2, QG microwave series customized air dryer, air steam dryer, air steam drying machine with large capacity and high efficiency low temperature sterilization keep the nutrition and traditional flavor The QG microwave series customized air dryer, air steam dryer, air steam drying machine with large capacity and high efficiency is through special heat and non thermal effect sterilization, compared with conventional thermal sterilization, it can get the desired disinfection effect at relatively low temperature and short time. Practice shows that the general sterilization temperature can reach the effect at 75-80 degrees centigrade. In addition, microwave dryer processed foods can retain more nutrients and color, aroma, taste, shape and other flavors, and have puffing effect. For example, the vitamin C retained in vegetables treated by conventional heat treatment is 46-50%, while that in microwave treatment is 60-90%, while that in conventional heating is 58%, while that in microwave heating is 84%.
3 microwave dryer and QG microwave series customized air dryer, air steam dryer, air steam drying machine with large capacity and high efficiency save energy Conventional thermal sterilization often has heat loss in the environment and equipment, and microwave is directly treated to food, so there is no extra heat loss.

text: Hello everyone! I've been using Cacharel's Gloria perfume for quite awhile now (I rarely wear perfume, so it has lasted me a LONG time) and I absolutely love the scent. Unfortunately, I recently found out that it has actually been discontinued. I can't really describe the scent-but I'm wondering if there's anyone here who knows of this perfume (or has used it) and if they know anything that smells very similar to it? I've tried hard to find something (other than just bringing it in and saying "replace this") but no luck! Here's a photo of the bottle if anyone is wondering: http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/3458/gloriavc2.jpg

Movies: "The Curse of The Buxom Strumpet" – The Period Comedy with a Bit more Bite
27 January, 2012 at 11:46 pm Leave a comment
I come bringing fantabulous movie news!
Nobody here can be surprised that a movie called "The Curse of The Buxom Strumpet" caught my attention. Even less so if you have a look at the synopsis:
Upper Trollop, 1713. An illness takes hold of the villagers turning them into unfeeling creatures who eat anything they can get there hands on. Lord Fortitude must lead the small band of survivors and escape to France.
18th century! Zombies! Sir Ian McKellen! Gillian Anderson! And – drumroll, fanfares and confetti – the very lovely Andrew Buchan!
That's all I need to know. I'm sold! Ticket bought! Huzzah!

After a Sunday stroll in Glyfada, we decided to eat a burger. As Burger Times was a huge disappointment, we headed this time for The Burger Joint.
The place is hidden away in a stoa (gallery) and we almost entered a souvlaki restaurant next door. This photo was taken from one of the outdoor tables of The Burger Joint and the part that had a lot of people is this souvlaki place of which name I do not remember at this moment.
The Burger Joint is at the end of this corridor, on the right side. We stayed outside, but there are also tables inside.
They have burgers and pizzas. I heard that also the pizzas were good, but we ordered burgers only this time.
On the table, there are ketchup, mustard, pepper and salt. Tub water was provided without any request.
I wanted to order a sort of steak sandwich, but they did not have it at that moment, so here is a cheese burger for me.
I was very impressed by the perfection in its genre. Maybe because I am not a huge fan of burger, I won't expect any better from a cheese burger. So it was perfect.
The waitress did not ask us how we liked the meat done and it came somewhere between well-done and medium, which was nice.
GH, who eats much more burgers than I do, ordered Umami burger, which is with goat cheese cream, mushroom and caramerized onion.
It was a very nice combination. If you have already gone through all the burgers and want to try something different, it is a good choice.
Only unfortunate thing was that neither of us liked the slim chips. They soaked up too much oil and we got bored of them easily.
With a bottle of coke, the total bill was 18 Euro (cheese burger was 7.50 Euro and Umami was 9 Euro). Expensive? Well it depends on how much you love burgers, I guess.

We found that Paul (famous French, now international, bakery) is about to open nearby. Paul currently has at least another shop near Syntagma.
Walking toward our car, I saw this cat with Hitler mustache.

Oh wow! Such a sweet, delightful work of art that needlework is! That is just too cute! I loved reading about your children and their street hockey days ~ sigh ~ I can relate to this post so much with the smaller loads of laundry and the memories of all of the children playing on our culdesac.. yes, hopefully we will get to experience some of that again with our future grandchildren ~ lovely post!!ReplyDelete
What a sweet treasure this is...just so sweet!ReplyDelete
I loved reading about the street hockey. The children in our neighborhood were always out in the street playing ball well past dark in the Summers. I have such special memories of those years as I know your children do.
Thank you for the sweet post!
What a darling needlework project! It looks so old fashioned. I grew up in a neighborhood much like you live in and still enjoy all those memories.ReplyDelete
What an adorable piece. I think there must be laundry gremlins. Even with a house of only two adults, I often find myself overwhelmed with the amount of dirty laundry we generate *s*ReplyDelete
Sweet post. Brings back some memories of my own - my grandmother had a plaque in her kitchen that said: "A Man May Work from Sun to Sun, But a Woman's Work is Never Done." I was just thinking of this yesterday, infact.ReplyDelete
Our previous house was at the end of a cul-de-sac and it also backed up to woods as well. Brings back memories of my son playing with all his friends outside, getting lost in the woods, me freaking out!
Thanks for visiting me too!
Your little needlewodk is adorable and so appropriate for a laundry room.ReplyDelete
Sounds like your children had wonderful ways to play and entertain themselves and their friends and I'm sure many happy memories.
Very cute needlework and so appropriate for the laundry room. There's just three of us now and I can't get over how much laundry I still have.ReplyDelete
The days of playing in the trees, building forts and getting grimey..reminds me of my youth at my grandparents farm. Didn't need video games, tv or computers to keep us busy.
What an adorable piece of needlework! Oh happy day, to get this. I am enjoying visiting your blog...ReplyDelete
We live near woods as well, and my boys are constantly playing in there. These woods butt up to a cow pasture, to which they always seem to end up in. I do so much laundry!ReplyDelete
Love that needle work. Did you do it or did you find it already done?
What a wonderful piece of embroidery! And so apporpriate to have it in the laundry room.ReplyDelete
I think your kids must have had a wonderful childhood. My parents had a big yard and we made many the snow fort and had numerous volley ball games. :) Good times.
Oh and Joolz swap package was awesome! I saw what she's sending you. :)
I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.

It is both hard to believe and so, so exciting that we will once more have a baby in the house now that ours is a self-described Big Girl. Eloise is going to be a big sister this spring with the predicted due date mid-May and we'll wait again until Baby's birthday to find out the sex. This time I can only hope for a birth more in line with what we hoped for of the first time, but like with Eloise, a healthy baby is all I want. We've been accepted at a highly regarded, nearby midwifery clinic who have delivered the babies of several friends and I must say, I am really looking forward to being pregnant again. You can remind me I said that when I'm 40 weeks pregnant and peeing every 15 minutes.
And, if you happen to be learning our exciting news this way rather than in person, please know that it's just because I couldn't wait any longer to share!

A white Peke-a-tese Puppy
|Maltese, Pekingese
|Other names
|Pekatese, Pekeatese
The Peke-a-tese is small domestic dog that is a designer or cross breed dog. Peke-a-tese are a cross between a Maltese and a Pekingese. The term Peke-a-tese is a portmanteau, as it is a combination of the name Pekingese and Maltese. As with all cross breed dogs, Peke-a-tese will take traits from both of their ancestral breeds.
Both Pekingese and Maltese dogs are members of the toy breed group, which means that they are very small dogs. You can expect a peke-a-tese to be in the range of 6-12 pounds. Pekingese are known for having a flat nose and many Peke-a-tese also have a flat nose, but some have more of a Maltese appearance in that their nose is not as flat. Pekingese are a very sturdy and muscular dog and are built lower to the ground with shorter legs. This trait makes Peke-a-tese very good pets for children, as they can handle the accidental abuse that may come from being around small children.
The temperament of a peke-a-tese will be some combination of the temperaments of the Pekingese and Maltese. Pekingese are very dignified dogs that have their origins in Chinese royalty. They are also very intelligent dogs. This combines for a good natured, opinionated and affectionate dog[1]. The Maltese on the other hand is a very brave, trustworthy and affectionate dog. Maltese are very lively and playfully vigorous, but one of the most gentle mannered of all dog breeds[2]. This makes the Maltese a perfect breed for families and children. You can expect a Peke-a-tese to have a combination of these traits. However, the temperament of any dog will also be affected by the temperament of their parents and the environment that they were raised in, which is probably the most important factor in a dog's temperament. The best way to determine the temperament of any dog is to spend time with it.
Since Peke-a-tese are smaller dogs, bred from toy group dogs, they are much easier to travel with than larger dogs. As mentioned above, Peke-a-tese are sturdy for their size, which makes them well suited to be family pets or pets of small children. As a smaller dog, Peke-a-tese require limited exercise, but they do enjoy walks. Peke-a-tese are well suited as apartment dogs because of their small size. Peke-a-tese are gentle mannered and very trustworthy and protective after you have earned their trust[3]. Peke-a-tese can have a long coat and therefore may require weekly grooming and trimming.

Foundation of Hearts are already mapping out their fan ownership model for the next 50 years and more at Tynecastle. They want to oversee Heart of Midlothian Football Club forever more and successive planning is the key.
Hearts will be fan-owned, but not fan-run. That is very much the message from the supporters' group. Ann Budge, the club's current chairwoman, will have major input into her successor when she hands control to the Foundation. That should take place sometime in 2020.
Foundation chairman Brian Cormack is keen to stress that plucking a randomer from row P of the Wheatfield Stand and naming him chairman isn't an option. The group – backed by 8,000 paying members – will appoint an executive board to run Hearts in the same way Budge, Craig Levein and Scot Gardiner do at the moment.
"People have heard about fan ownership and it's important to stress Hearts will be fan-owned, not fan-run," said Cormack in the second of a two-part Evening News interview. "People want a club that's well-managed. Because the shares will be owned by the Foundation, or the fans, it's vital that Hearts will never be mismanaged by any one person again.
"The majority shareholding of 75.1 per cent will be owned by Foundation of Hearts. That will mean no other one person can ever own the club. However, it's so crucial that a professional, executive team run the club every day. They will be appointed and we're working towards this right now.
"We're working with the club to make sure that the governance of Hearts and Foundation of Hearts are correct. That's not just for the next few years, but for the next 50 years. There are set rules within the club and it's important these are adhered to. It's boring, but this set-up will manage the club for the next 50 years and more.
"We're lucky that we've got time to assess all this. We have controlled fan ownership. At other clubs, there hasn't been time because fans have taken control right after a period of mismanagement or administration. For the next few years until Ann is due to step back, Hearts will run like clockwork.
"It won't be Foundation of Hearts members trying to run a club when they don't have that knowledge. Ann will eventually step down but she will appoint the right person to take over. She will have a huge say in who that is."
The project to run Hearts on behalf of supporters began way back in 2009 when lifelong fans Cormack, Garry Halliday, Alex Mackie and Jamie Bryant first got together. Cormack and Halliday remain FoH directors.
"It's been seven years already. It is tough," continued Cormack. "One of the things we've been talking about is the whole governance of the Foundation, the club and how it's going to run in the future.
"Foundation of Hearts is voluntary. The Foundation directors all have our own jobs and businesses to run. It's so important that the club is managed by professionals who are there working on a day-to-day basis.
"It can't be managed by the Foundation, it can't be managed by the fans. There needs to be a proper board at executive level, like Ann Budge, Craig Levein and the rest right now.
"I'm a volunteer, I do as much as I can and we try to run the Foundation as professionally as we can on a very small budget. We don't take wages or expenses or anything. It does take its toll on your life and your business, so there is a limit.
"The people we're bringing into the Foundation are excellent. Barry McGonagle is a fantastic young accountant who has taken on a lot on the financial side. Louise Strutt is a financial advisor and she's been excellent in her role. It's really important everybody has a role within the Foundation."
The most important role is that of the 8,000 members who pledge cash every month to the Foundation, which in turn provides the football club with extra revenue. It is currently helping towards the cost of the new £12million main stand at Tynecastle.
"We always used the Barcelona model, albeit on a much smaller scale. Barcelona are in a lot of debt so they're by no means perfect. To have members who pledge money to be a member of the club is crucial," said Cormack.
"We want to continue progression, we want people to pledge for life. Once the stand is paid for, once Ann Budge is paid back her investment, once the Foundation take a majority shareholding, we want to continue. There will always be something else to achieve.
"We want to continue a well-run club which is producing youngsters through the academy. There has to be a succession plan for coaches so that Hearts' ethos and style of play isn't binned every time a manager or coach is sacked. You want a signing policy to sign, not just good players, but guys who are role models for the youngsters coming though.
"We want the Foundation to be able to fund the club forever; to add £1.5million or maybe £2m to the budget at a really well-run club."

Free Shipping on Uniforms
Isaiah 61:1-3 points to an amazing fact that what we wear tells others both who and whose we are! It teaches that "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified." As a Christian school, our chosen apparel encourages students to embrace the truth that we have traded in our sin for the garments of God's grace; thereby, making a commitment to bring glory to Him in all that we are, and not to ourselves. What we wear here in all of our standard dress daily emphasizes the principles of character beauty, joy for learning, and a uniform praise to God for belonging to the GAAA family!
The document below defines the uniforms to be worn by grade level and where they can be purchased. To be added later.

UDA blamed after person is shot at in north Belfast
Sources in Belfast last night claimed the UDA was behind a gun attack in the north of the city.
Shots were fired in the Tyndale area off the Ballysillan Road at around 9pm.
- UVF, UDA and Red Hand Commando 'turning backs on crime'
- PSNI chief Hamilton slams UDA over threat to journalist
Witnesses said a number of shots were fired at an individual in the street. There were no reports of any injuries.
The attack comes just a day after loyalist paramilitaries issued a combined statement rejecting criminal activity.
"Given the positive steps taken by paramilitaries, this is just repulsive," said DUP councillor Dale Pankhurst, who lives on the street.
"The people don't want this, those behind it need to go away and anyone considering reprisals should just cease it."
PUP councillor Julie-Anne Corr-Johnson said a lot of people were dismayed at the "violent incident".
She added: "Whilst there is considerable speculation, it is at this stage too early to determine who was behind it."

The number of children arrested by Northamptonshire Police has fallen by 51% in the last four years.
That's according to data obtained by the Howard League for Penal Reform and released today (Monday 23 November).
Research by the charity has found that the number of arrests in the county dropped from 2,594 in 2010 to 1,270 in 2014.
The number of children being arrested by Cambridgeshire Police has fallen by more than two thirds over the past four years.
In 2010, there were nearly 3,500. Last year, that figure had fallen to just over 1,000.
The charity says the figures confirm the continued success of a long-running Howard League programme of work to keep as many children as possible out of the criminal justice system.
Every police service in England and Wales made fewer arrests in 2014 than in 2010, with some constabularies reducing their numbers by more than 70 per cent.

- Very first play, Chris Harris misses a tackle on a run (Louis Delmas would've made the tackle)
- Eric Wright with good coverage on Graham, but he still caught it
- Saints successful early on short yardage, not deep
- Offense: First two third downs, Saints only sent three rushers (Lions went 1/2 on converting). They sent five on the next third down and forced a holding penalty (Lions would have converted if penalty wasn't called).
- More good secondary coverage, but Brees made a great pass.
- Saints have six men in pass protection, interestingly doubling both DTs (despite the fact that Fairley is out at this point). Leads to 19 yard pass play:
- Eric Wright is getting visibly upset. First, upset over the Graham play above. Then gets called for an iffy pass interference in which it looks like he was pulled down by the receiver. Next, he misses a tackle on an end-around. Then, the refs miss a holding call on the Saints' rushing touchdown. Only a couple defensive plays later, Wright gets embarrassed on a bomb (that really isn't his fault). Rough second quarter.
- Offense: failed on first down early. Found themselves in a lot of third and longs.
- Tried to utilize screen pass early against aggressive defensive calls. Worked well on a 3rd and 17.
- Wright was looking for help from Harris on deep TD. Did not get it:
- Cris Collinsworth with a foreboding quote in the 2nd quarter "[Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams] has been very happy to sit in some zones and let these Lions [...] self destruct." Spooky.
- Last drive of 1st half (for Saints): Spievey on Graham isn't going to work. Saints are almost unbeatable in no-huddle. Tough to get pressure, and Saints have great checkdown options in Graham and Darren Sproles.
- Lions open second half with a beautiful drive...that is spoiled by a Titus Young personal foul penalty. Instead of third and one at Saints three, Lions have third and sixteen. They don't convert. Three instead of seven.
- Lions first and third quarters were good enough to win the game. Third quarter especially.
- Without Young personal foul penalty and blocked field goal, the game would be 24-24 heading into the fourth quarter.
- Even after all of those mistakes, the Lions were first and 10 at the Saints' 35 yard-line with 13 minutes left, looking to tie the game. (Drive ended with a missed 55-yard field goal, giving the Saints good field position, which they would use to score quickly).
- On the ensuing drive, the Saints had a key 3rd and 8. Lions dialed up obvious pressure, which Brees easily read and connected with Graham, who was in man-coverage. Too easy.
Overall, the biggest thing I noticed was that the Lions had plenty of opportunities to win this game. They forced a lot of third downs, and if they would've gotten just one or two more stops on those downs, they would have won the game.
On offense, the Lions drove the ball with ease for almost the entire game. There were small miscues here and there (including a screen pass that would've almost certainly gone for a touchdown had it not been under-thrown and dropped), and the penalties were killer. But even with the penalties, the Lions could have won this game. And for that reason, I think the Lions have a very legitimate chance to win their first playoff game in two decades on Saturday.
Tonight, NFL Network is replaying this game at 8 PM. Watch it and tell me the Lions don't have a shot. My guess is you won't. Let me know what you see...

The Signs of School Bullying and Cyberbullying and How to Stop It
Many of us can remember a time when someone bullied us at school and how awful and alone it made us feel. Learning how to navigate daily social conflicts independently is an important part of growing up, and overcoming painful playground experiences can make us more confident, kind and empathetic. But when bullying doesn't stop or goes too far the consequences for children and their families can be devastating. How can you tell if your child is being bullied or is bullying others? How can you best support him/her? And how can we make Maine schools and social media networks safer for all children?
Bullying is a Big Deal in Maine
As parents, we want our children to be accepted and appreciated by their peers. We also want our children to learn how to stand up for themselves and for others. Like many parents, we think that if our kids were really struggling socially—or were singling out another child at school—that we would
know, and that we would know what to do about it. But would we?
Youth surveys tell us again and again that less than 40% of bullying incidents at school or on social media are reported to an adult. Kids and teens who are being bullied are often too scared, depressed or embarrassed to tell someone, or are actively pressured by peers to keep quiet. The more frequent and widespread the bullying the less likely the victim is to tell. And the longer bullying goes on, the more long-term damage it will do. Children and teens who are systematically bullied in their school experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, anger and suicide. Children who bully can end up in court.
As parents and members of caring communities, we all must stop bullying whenever we see it and support all the kids involved.
Bullying and cyberbullying does happen in and around Maine schools. In fact, one 2015 study of the 43 states showed that Maine had the highest rate of cyberbullying in the country with approximately a quarter of all high school students reoporitng that they were bullied in some way online. Cyberbullying is particularly challenging for schools to combat because it takes place off school grounds by email or text or on social networks parents and teachers may not have access to or authority over. To help educators and parents protect kids from bullying, Maine lawmakers passed An Act to Prevent Cyberbullying in Schools in 2012 and followed the law with a Model Policy for Bullying and Cyberbullying. This legislation is designed to make sure that all Maine students learn in safe, secure and peaceful environments, on campus and online.
We all need to watch for the signs of bullying and be ready to stop it. According to StopBullying.gov, kids who are being bullied may have:
- Unexplainable injuries
- Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry
- Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness
- Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. Kids may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.
- Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
- Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school
- Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations
- Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem
- Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide
Not all children who are bullied will show these signs. Be aware of changes in your child's behavior, and if you suspect or are told that they are being hurt or harmed, you need to take it seriously, document it thoroughly and talk to your child's school immediately.
StompOutBullying.org, a great organization dedicated to fighting bullying, has an informative, step-by-step guide for parents whose child is being bullied and wonderful resources for kids who are being bullied. The Maine government's website also has a Bullying Prevention Resource Guide with links to helpful resources for parents and for kids.
Kids who are bullying others may:
- Get into physical or verbal fights
- Have friends who bully others
- Are increasingly aggressive
- Get sent to the principal's office or to detention frequently
- Have unexplained extra money or new belongings
- Blame others for their problems
- Don't accept responsibility for their actions
- Are competitive and worry about their reputation or popularity
It can be very hard to acknowledge that your child is not treating other children well. If you are told by other parents or by your child's school that your child is bullying, take it seriously, even if it doesn't seem like a big deal to you. Let your child know that you love them no matter what but that this behavior needs to change.
StompOutBullying.org has a guide for parents of children suspected of bullying and for kids who have bullied others. "Understanding Why Kids Bully" is good place to start. Children act aggressively to others may have difficulties at home or they may be being bullied themselves. Changing bullying behavior requires being compassionate to everyone involved.
What can parents do to prevent and stop bullying?
Our children are always watching us. The behavior we want to see in them is the behavior they need to see from us. How do we react when we're cut off in traffic? When we disagree with someone online? When we are having a conflict in our family or at work? Do our children hear us mock the way other people speak or dress?
If we keep our interactions with others kind and respectful, set clear boundaries on how and when our children use their computers and their cell phones, stop bullying whenever we see it right when we see it and take allegations of bullying seriously, we will be doing our part to prevent bullying and cyberbullying in Maine.


text: I learned a few new things this weekend: My daughter loves Free Comic Book Day; "Hannah Montana" is kind of funny after a couple of drinks; and, thanks to Gordon Ramsay, cheese can be easily liquefied into a tasty salad dressing. Now that the asparagus is starting to come in, I have a very healthful vegetable that we all can agree on that is fun to cook and eat. I needed to put something together quick and this recipe, which I found in an AP story that plucked it out of a Gordon Ramsay book, seemed to fit the bill. And while it is a good use for asparagus, the part that I found most interesting and enjoyable was the technique for the dressing. Mashing a crumbly cheese first, then whisking in the vinegar, mustard, water, followed by the oil, made a really smooth, rich flavorful dressing without the smallest bit of xanthan gum in sight. I used bleu cheese and pecans because, for some weird reason, I was out of walnuts. It's usually the other way around. I also skipped the walnut oil, as the only stuff I could find at the last minute was a big $9 can of the stuff. It's good, but I don't use enough to justify buying that much for that much. If you can find a small amount, or you use walnut oil regularly, I recommend using it (why else would it be in the recipe, after all), because using just olive oil, while good, gives the dressing kind of a one-note flavor. Kosher salt will work OK for the sea salt, too. I don't have a grill pan either, so I ended up broiling the asparagus. All together, this was a hearty salad that even meat-lovers will enjoy. Serve with a glass of dry white wine. Two glasses if you're watching "Hannah Montana." Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4 1 pound asparagus, trimmed 5 tablespoons olive oil Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 ounces Roquefort or other blue cheese 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 3 tablespoons walnut oil, plus extra for drizzling 7 ounces baby spinach leaves 1/2 cup walnut halves, toasted Peel the lower half of the asparagus stems. In a medium bowl, toss the asparagus with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high. Add the asparagus and cook, turning occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Set aside. In a large bowl, crumble half of the cheese, then crush with a fork. Mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and the mustard to loosen the cheese. Stir in the vinegar, then whisk in the walnut oil and remaining olive oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, then add the spinach leaves and toss to coat. Add a handful of toasted walnuts. Divide the spinach between 4 serving plates. Cut each asparagus spear in two and arrange on top of the spinach. Top with the remaining cheese, crumbled, and the remaining walnuts. Drizzle with a bit more walnut oil to serve. Recipe from "Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food," by Gordon Ramsay, Key Porter Books, 2008
