The American raid that took place in Abbottabad a few days ago in which Osama Bin Laden was apparently killed has shocked and shaken the entire nation. The attack has left many people in a state of disbelief which is now giving way to anger; how is it possible that a small American force could penetrate deep into the heart of the country, only a few miles from Islamabad, at the heart of the Pakistan military, carry out its mission and then escape undetected?
The denials of complicity from Pakistans government and military leadership seem all too familiar and are falling on deaf ears. The charade of the army chiefs being accounted over the Abbottabad humiliation in the National Assembly is not going to fool anyone in deflecting the peoples anger. What is particularly disturbing is that it comes hot on the heels of the Raymond Davis debacle. Many people were outraged that Pakistans civil and military rulers had allowed the American murderer to leave unpunished under American pressure. The rulers feigned at the time that a blood money deal had been agreed with the victims family under the Shariah (leaving aside the fact that the family have disappeared from public view and that the Shariah does not permit collaboration with hostile forces operating covertly in the country in the first place). They promised that the American CIA agents operating inside the country would be forced to reduce their footprint and promised the nation that would be no repeat of such flagrant American arrogance; yet now this attack in Abbottabad happens and the shroud over the loins of Pakistani sovereignty has been completely torn away. Is it any surprise that the people simply do not believe what the rulers say anymore?
All of this leads to a deeper question, about our rulers and the Democratic system they use to rule. There are many angles on the question of Democracy in a Muslim nation that require careful consideration ranging from the question of legitimacy of man made legislation, powers of the executive and its accountability, the constitution and its origin and what role, if any, does Islam play when weighed up against the principle of secularism upon which Democracy is founded i.e. separation of the States political affairs from religion. However on this occasion, for now, let us put aside all of these weighty questions and focus on just one basic element; does Democracy in Pakistan truly reflect the majority public opinion, the peoples will in ruling?
When we consider the state of play today, particularly since the re-emergence of Democracy after the Musharraf era, we can make several observations and conclusions. The first is that the entry of Pakistan into Americas War on Terror was undertaken by General Pervez Musharraf in 2001. This was done at a time when there was no serious domestic terrorist threat from any quarter and no suicide bombings but Musharraf still chose to fully support the new American policy in the region. This is a policy decision that has been wholeheartedly embraced by the current PPP led democratic government and if anything the embrace of American policy (and their aid dollars) has only become stronger.
Whilst one can dismiss the formers decision as that one taken by a dictator that had no peoples representation, the decision by the democratic government, whom the people elected, flies in the face of raw Pakistani public opinion. It is without a shadow of a doubt that ordinary Pakistanis, leaving aside small pockets of the elite, absolutely hate America and her current policy in Pakistan. Moreover, not only that, they absolutely loathe both the democratic and military rulers for continuing to support and helping to implement this American policy. If anyone doubts this then I would suggest that they conduct a simple experiment in political science; let them take a large stars and stripes flag and proudly hold it aloft in any ordinary Pakistani bazaar or popular market, either in Islamabad, Peshawar, Karachi or Lahore or anywhere else and then cheer Obama spontaneously and let us observe how long they last.
After that no brainer it is clear that as far as Americas War on Terror is concerned the policy being pursued by the democratic government is deeply unpopular and unrepresentative; yet it is still happening. How is it possible that Prime Minister Gilani, in the aftermath of the Abbottabad attack, can still publicly endorse the CIA continuing its drone strikes inside Pakistan?
This incredulous incongruity is not just limited to the American attacks; let us cast our conceptual net a little wider and consider another set of policy decisions that relate to another fundamental aspect of the Pakistani state, that of the economy. Again let us draw the analogy between Pervez Musharrafs military rule and that of the current Zardari-Gilanis democratic government. Musharraf and his finance team accepted new IMF loans; in fact they helped engineer the current IMF programme and oversaw the vast increase in Pakistans external and internal debts; undoubtedly unpopular decisions given the oversight and budget cuts the IMF demands but again made by an unrepresentative regime. Yet again we see the current democratic rulers continuing to implement this Musharraf era policy decision and continue to accept IMF loans; not only that but all Pakistanis can testify to the misery the IMF dictated economic agenda is having in the country with subsidies on food and fuel being cut over the last 3 years and price rises across the board for nearly everything including petrol, diesel and in the case of gas and electricity, paying more with no end in sight to the loadshedding. Again no prizes for guessing the unpopularity of all of this, but still the democratic rulers continue to swim against the popular public tide.
It is clear that something is going badly wrong. The system that is supposed to be the rule of the people by the people for the people is proving itself to be no different than that of a dictatorship; in fact it is worse because its all being done in the name of the people. In Pakistans case the ruling class also happens to be the people who sit in huge, well defended palaces and enjoy extravagant wealth which just seems to keep on multiplying with every passing year enjoyed in power whilst more and more of the ruled people seem to be entering penury. To add insult to injury the rulers also keep on telling the rest of us what sacrifices as democrats they have made for the people, they keep on telling us how hard they are working to improve our lives and in the case of the War on Terror they keep on telling us how they have made us all safer by eliminating the terrorists. There seems to be something deeply Orwellian about all of this; the reality just does not match this democratic Alice in Wonderland theatre.
At this point defenders of Democracy will jump in to say that Democracy it is still the best thing to have and after all it still has checks and balances in the form of the next election where the ruled can vote out one set of rulers. This though is a fickle and weak argument and an attempt to legitimise this criminal behaviour; the only censure that these corrupt rulers will face is the potential loss of power. But we all know that in Pakistans political merry go around one set of Democratic rulers are simply exchanged for another who behave just as worse and blindly follow what the Americans tell them; in fact the current example of the PML-Q joining the PPP government shows that in some cases some of these politicians can get recycled sooner rather than later. Moreover, leaving aside the morality of letting the corrupt go free, the opportunity to vote out a set of rulers will only likely come every four or five years. Some important decisions, such as backing American policy, are irreversible in their disastrous effect and need to be dealt with now; try telling a US drone strike victim who has been killed that he or she can get the chance to vote for a better democrat at the next elections.
The reason why Democracy is failing to represent Pakistani public opinion is that it isn`t actually a representative system at all. Nearly all the politicians who come through this system have to be very wealthy in order to participate; its anyones guess as to how much the next MNA or MPA party ticket for the next election will cost standing on the platform of the main parties of the PPP, PML-N, MQM and PML-Q. Once youre in, of course you have to recoup the money invested on the election campaign plus make some profit on top; thats exactly what a businessman or woman does, crooked or not. Why else would any Pakistani politician worth his salt take the trouble to get involved in this nations sordid politics?
Secondly, because Democracy allows these representatives to be the legislators in parliament, they can pass whatever law they like; this serves various nefarious interest groups perfectly. This is the reason why to this day the big feudal landowners, who happen to make up a big portion of those sitting in the National and Provincial assemblies don`t pay any tax on their agricultural income; its because they haven`t passed any law requiring themselves to do so but they did pass a law recently requiring the new VAT tax to be imposed across the board to satisfy IMF demands. This is also the reason why when Nawaz Sharif was Prime Minister he passed legislation which did not require anyone to disclose the source of their funds transferred from overseas into Pakistan, an effective license to launder money out of Pakistan in corrupt deals and back in again, with no questions asked with black money and its various shades of grey being turned into whiter than white.
In the case of our national leaders the level of profit to be made is completely on another level; here we are talking about multinational level income with international aid and loan deals to be negotiated and then managed. In the case of the Americans and their War on Terror it does not take much imagination to visualise what would happen if the right amount of cash was waved in front of the noses of our industrious civil and military leaders. This is why the whole Pakistani state has been hijacked to now serve on the frontline of this war; our leaders were literally bought into this war with domestic policies reset and military assets re-directed; too bad the Pakistan military can`t detect American helicopters, its not what the Kerry-Lugar aid bill was meant to ensure.
In a Democracy, everything can be re-defined and justified; it just requires the political will and opportunity. In Pakistans case we see all the main secular parties plus the so called Islamic democratic parties onside in this American game and endorsing the War on Terror. This is why the Pakistani military campaigns in the tribal areas have been sanctioned and blessed by the National Assembly. This is also explains the disgusting deceitful and contradictory behaviour from our political and military rulers and their incredulous statements in the current predicament. Some of the claims and counter claims we have seen seem like the schoolboy excuse the dog ate my homework pack of lies. These statements follow the same pattern of denial as the US has continued its drone strikes using bases inside Pakistan and the denial of CIA agents operating in our cities until Raymond Davis was caught. The civilian and military rulers need to rely on smoke and mirrors and their black propaganda because they know full well that telling the ugly truth will bring the people out on to the streets.
It doesn`t take much to see that Democracy has failed the people of Pakistan. What is harder to see is what should be done next? Military rule? We are living with the legacy and effects of the Musharraf rule today that opened the door for the Americans, a completely unaccountable platform for an untouchable ruler; moreover the current military leaders are also on the same pro-American page. An alternative system has to ensure that the rulers can`t just tear up the rule book and change the rules of the game as they play. The rulers need a permanent absolute point of reference rather than the relative code of moral conduct that has allowed them to declare the day to be night and the night to be day. The only system which has the forbearance for this is the Shariah of Islam implemented by the Khilafat.
One example of this is the hadith of the Prophet (SAW) who said when approached by powerful tribe leaders to forgive one of their own that By Him in Whose Hand is my life, even if Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, was to commit theft, I would have cut off her hand." The point is that what has been revealed in the Quran and Sunnah is set in stone. If any ruler tries to flout an Islamic Shariah rule he would be seen as a transgressor; he has to rule by the rulebook given to him by the Creator. On the other hand all a democrat has to do is pass a bill with a majority and he can make anything legitimate; in the Pakistani parliament we see the rulers passing various bills and their political agendas becoming law. Moreover various polls conducted in the last few years including by the American based University of Maryland and Pew Research Centre remarkably show consistent majority support by the people of Pakistan for the implementation of the Shariah. Can anyone imagine going to an ordinary person in the street and telling him that Allah(SWT) has no role in your political affairs as demanded by secularism? Yet how ironic that in this so called peoples system the will of the majority is not reflected at all by the decision making of the rulers as they sit in the lap of Washington.
Pakistans rulers seem to think that they can continue making monkeys out of us all with their double talk and with the help of their media lackeys who at times seem more loyal to the Americans than anyone else. However as the saying goes you can fool some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time but you can`t fool all the people all the time. This latest American attack in Abbottabad has made the democratic penny drop for everyone; in the name of the people, its time for these charlatans of Democracy to go.

Today, November 1st, is World Vegan day, leading to the question, are they anti-farming?
Veganism is the latest fad to dominate the food industry and the world, with many choosing the meat and dairy-free diets as what they feel is a healthier alternative. Many vegan campaign groups have voiced their opposition to agri-food advertisements recently, but does this mean they are anti-farming?
The change:
In the UK alone last year over 1% of the population had switched to an all-vegan diet, with that number steadily on the rise. Last year there were only six vegan restaurants in Ireland, though this number has increased and is expected to increase further in the coming years.
Some vegans do it for their health, while others have made the choice because of animal welfare reasons. Each day the divide between vegan and non-vegan groups is growing, with more and more animal rights campaigns being held every day.
Farmers and vegans have been rubbing shoulders over the issue a lot recently, with meat and dairy production the prime targets for criticism from the vegan sector. This has led to the developing of an "us versus them" attitude. But when vegans eat a primarily plant-based diet, then how can they be so against agriculture?
It's farmers who grow the vegetables which make up the majority of a vegans diet, it's the agricultural industry who mass produce these fruits and vegetables. Therefore, is it fair the agricultural industry takes the brunt of the blame?
Some vegans, it must be said, have no issue with livestock rearing and other farming methods. They made the change just because they felt it was a healthier way of living. But most of vegans began their lives eating meat, posing the question, how can they detest something they were once a part of?
This article is neither suggesting veganism is wrong or right, it is merely calling on vegans to think of the farming world, the small-time farmers who help produce their beloved fruits and vegetables, and to not paint everyone with the one brush. The same should be said for a farmers views on veganism. Not every vegan is anti-livestock farming or against the eating of meat in its entirety.
This country is heavily reliant on livestock farming and the meat industries, so much so it is part of our identity. But veganism is fast becoming a part of Irish culture on its own accord. Can we not all just get along and live in harmony side by side?
If you're a farmer and you feel threatened by the vegan lifestyle, it's important to understand it properly and equip yourself with a well-formed argument if you wish to defend your lifestyle against its criticisms.With regards animal welfare, Ireland is fast becoming the benchmark for other countries to follow.
Animal welfare practices have not only improved significantly but are continually improving with time and a degree of thanks must be given to vegans for that. That's not to be said there could not be more improvements made, especially with the increase in animal welfare violations reported in the news.
Irish farmers work incredibly hard to keep their animals safe and happy, even when the end-game is their eventual slaughter. Cattle farmers are especially attuned to the feelings of their herds. Vegans don't understand that without the farming of livestock, they would likely die out of existence. Is it not better to have a world full of cows rather than looking back in one hundred years wishing we had kept them going?
Vegans and farmers can coexist in harmony, provided stubbornness and opinions are left by the wayside. People have the right to make their own choices in life, whether that be veganism or a good old-fashioned meat-filled diet.
The reality is veganism still helps agriculture, through fruit and vegetable purchases, while agriculture helps vegans, through the providing of these crops. There's no reason why vegans should be anti-farming or farmers anti-vegan. Can't we all just get along?

Nobody lives forever. But when a life is cut short because of a careless truck driver, a texting motorist, a defective product or nursing home abuse, there is no greater tragedy. Nothing can replace a loved one. Nothing can compensate for what was lost.
If you are reading this website because you recently lost a loved one, please accept our sincere condolences. You are probably experiencing sorrow, rage, and helplessness. At Ortwerth Law LLC, our wrongful death lawyers understand the anguish that comes from the wrongful death of a loved one. We provide families with compassion as they go through this difficult time while fighting for justice the families deserve. Our lawyers have a long history of successfully resolving wrongful death cases.
Think about it. When an innocent person dies because somebody else is negligent, the wrongdoer knows how and why the tragedy occurred, but the victim's family knows nothing. When a commercial truck driver falls asleep at the wheel and kills a 35-year-old family man, the truck driver knows why the tragedy occurred, but the victim's wife and kids know nothing. When a surgeon makes a catastrophic mistake during surgery and his patient dies on the operating table, the surgeon knows how and why the tragedy occurred, but the victim's children and grandchildren know nothing. When a wrongful death occurs, the victim's family often has no idea that it was a wrongful death. Grieving survivors are routinely led to believe that it was an innocent accident or an act of God.
An experienced wrongful death attorney is what you need.
Craig Ortwerth can help you find the answers you deserve. We have a team of experienced wrongful death attorneys, investigators, and experts who have the skill and resources to determine how and why your loved one died. Determining who is at fault is critically important. In some cases, the fault may be distributed among several different parties. For example, in a truck accident case, a truck driver may be at fault for falling asleep at the wheel while the trucking company is also to blame for pushing the driver to work when he is tired. Likewise, in a medical malpractice case, a surgeon may be at fault when he is negligent, while the hospital is also to blame for allowing him to perform a surgery he was unqualified to perform.

Wrongful death claims are governed by statutes in Missouri, Illinois, and other states. The value of a wrongful death case depends on where the case is filed. Wrongful death cases are worth more money in some states than others. Within each state, wrongful death cases may be worth more money in some counties than others. And in some cases, special experts must be retained in order to fully establish the damages caused by the death of the family member. Calculations must be made as to the future economic benefit the deceased person would have brought to his or her family. We also seek financial compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, and non-economic damages for loss of care, companionship, advice and the comfort of your loved one.
In Missouri and Illinois, wrongful death lawsuit may be filed against any person or any entity that is legally at fault for your family member's death. Defendants may be individuals, medical institutions, governmental entities and/or companies.
While no financial recovery can ever compensate for the loss of a loved one, we have given our clients exceptional results under very difficult circumstances. Because every case has special considerations, we are prepared to help as soon as possible.

By LARRY VAUGHT
Wofford senior Fletcher Magee thinks there were a couple of games this year where he didn't make a 3-pointer — but he's not sure.
However, Saturday against Kentucky he went 0-for-12 from 3-point range to set a NCAA record most 3's taken in a game without a make. Considering he's the NCAA all-time leader in 3-pointers made with 509, that was a testament to UK's defense or just a really off night for Magee.
"I mean, it's incredibly disappointing. I feel like if I make three of those shots, we win the game. You know, a lot of them were good shots, and just — they didn't go in," Magee said after Kentucky's 62-56 win. "You know, sometimes you shoot the ball just how you think you're going to shoot it and it feels good and looks good and just doesn't go in. Just one of those days."
The Wofford star also gave Kentucky's defense credit for his shooting woes — he was 4-for-17 overall and had eight points.
"They played pretty good defense as far as topping me and trying to deny me the ball and not come off screens and stuff. But a lot of schools have done that. A lot of teams have done that to me before, and we've found ways to get around it," Magee said. "I feel like we got a decent amount of quality looks, and we didn't knock them down. I think some of it definitely was their good defense, and mainly a lot of it was just me being off my shot."
Kentucky freshman point guard Ashton Hagans said the Cats knew Magee was a "great" shooter who could light up any defense if given time.
"The game plan was just make him make a basketball play, put it on the floor. That's what we was trying to do. Tyler (Herro) did a great job of talking to me when he wanted to switch, but you know, for us to be at our best, we've just got to talk and be for one another," Hagans said.
Kentucky coach John Calipari said the Cats were not going under screens to give Magee or any Wofford players easy looks.
"The bigs were going to help as long as they had to. We hoped our length would bother them," Calipari said.
The UK coach said his players understood they couldn't let up or Magee and his teammates would make them pay. He put Herro on Magee often even though he worried about doing that.
"I didn't want to wear him out because we need his offense because PJ is not playing. So we need to go to him and get him to make some baskets. But if he's running around with Magee, running in circles, running out, dribble hand-off, get being bumped, screen down, we'll do that, like every possession, do it 12 straight possessions. It's like being an offensive lineman in football," Calipari said.
"And so I worried about it, but he said, 'Coach, I'll be fine.' Well, obviously probably took away from his shots and he missed some shots that we've all seen him make."

Sleeping with Back or Neck Pain: Are You Using the Right Pillow?
Here are some tips on what type of pillow is best for your sleeping position - to give you the best night's sleep possible!
For those who suffer from neck or back pain, getting comfortable before bed can be a real challenge, and pillow selection is crucial
Everyone is different and may have slightly different requirements when selecting a pillow - but there are some basic guidelines to help get you started in the right direction.
Remember: when sleeping you want your neck to stay neutral - in the same position it would be if you were standing up with proper posture.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers should use a thin, soft pillow. When you lay down, the cushion of the pillow should migrate away from the crown of the head. This will push the cushion down towards the arch of the neck and provide the support needed when sleeping on your back.
Bonus: Try using a thick pillow under your knees - this will allow your legs to rest comfortably bent, and put your lower back in a neutral position.
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers should use a thicker pillow, as there is usually a larger gap between the bed and neck than when sleeping on your back. The best option is a thick soft pillow with a thin hard pillow underneath - the thin and hard pillow provides the necessary support, while the thick soft one fills in the remaining gap (and is a bit more comfortable). Just make sure the pillow (or pillows) is thick enough for your head to sink in and remain in the neutral position.
Bonus: Try putting a pillow between your legs - this will take the pressure off your back, and help maintain a neutral, supportive position.
Bonus: Dr. Oscar Alba of Breslau Chiropractic and Massages shows how to properly position your pillow!
Breslau Chiropractic and Massage takes a different approach from most health care professionals when it comes to mitigating pain. Instead of only trying to fix the symptoms – pain, immobility – the Breslau team works with their patients to find the cause of the problem and treat it, in order to provide their clients with longer-term, more sustainable relief.

- The power play was worked on during the pre-game skate and they brought it with great pressure. Weber had excellent opportunities to use that powerful, injury-causing slap shot but they just couldn't find the formula to beat Crawford. Get that type of zone time and puck movement regularly and it will come.
- The Habs played a strong game throughout almost all the line up but the goal scoring bug bit again as the club still struggles to finish. They are shooting at less than 5 percent for a month and a half and still winning a lot of hockey games. That number should revert to a mean of around 8 percent. When the Habs started the season 13-1-1 they shot at 13 percent. The goals should come soon. Contrast this with the Bruins who under Cassidy are shooting 12.5 percent. That's goaltending of .875 the Bruins are facing since the coaching change. That too will revert to the mean. The Habs can't keep facing .950 goaltending can they?
- Paul Byron has 19 goals this season. His previous high was 11. How about that?
- Big ice time for Weber who is really excelling with Markov. What a great partnership.
- The lines worked. All three of the big three together worked. Plekanec with Byron and Gallagher worked. The lines are coming together. The team is coming together, except one costly thing. See below.
Wilde Goats
-Alexei Emelin is having such difficulty and he just can't seem to make it through a single game without a series of massive mistakes. First period he takes the wind out of the Habs by getting turned around so incredibly badly. Why in heaven's name would he go around to the Hawks side of the ice at centre and let the play move toward Price without him? It's so elementary. Petry's coverage after it on the newly-created odd man rush was too passive as he backed into Price essentially taking no one. It all happens so fast that Petry doesn't see that he does have forward support on the right and he can try to take time and space away from Kane. Let's not focus on Petry though as he is the player constantly put into untenable circumstances trying to survive after the initial Emelin error. Anyone associated with hockey in a rudimentary way can see it all starts with the mystery move from Emelin. He vacated the defensive coverage area to attack a player up ice that he flat out missed allowing himself to then be behind the play.
-Then there was the Hawks second goal where Emelin's attempt to break up the play was so shockingly inappropriate that Gallagher got smashed by Emelin, no doubt thinking "WTH are you doing here?" Petry this time brilliantly broke up the 2 on 1 pass with a diving stick check, but the play continued where no one was covering the point as it had all gone Elmer Fudd by then as Oduya's man was Gallagher who was sadly still picking himself off the ice on the gorgeous open ice hit from Emelin. Someone play the Benny Hill music.
-Then... sigh... on the third goal, Emelin seemingly forgets that he is the left defenseman and chases out to join Petry attacking the right side. Of course this leaves the spot where Emelin is supposed to be completely vacant. The result is yet another Emelin-fuelled goal against.
-It's been a couple months of mystery from Emelin and this was the worst night of them all.
Wilde Cards
- It was the first time this season that Nathan Beaulieu was scratched. I don't understand the move. He's surely good enough to be in the line up every night. This is doubly true when Emelin is in the line up instead. Beaulieu didn't sit for the great Drew Doughty to get in here. He sat for a guy costing the Habs a goal per game at least every time he plays. Beaulieu must be getting an attitude adjustment from the organization. That is all I can come up with. That he was late for a meeting or something can be the only reason. It can't be hockey related. It's nonsensical.
- If King and Martinsen are the same player, let's see Martinsen who is the better skater and is at least looking for someone to hit. Not really sure of the King attraction yet. Perhaps he has more.
- Julien has coached extremely well to right this ship. The penalty kill has improved tremendously. Consider the worth of that alone. The team is bringing speed through the neutral zone. The defensive zone coverage is so much better. However, I do not understand Emelin in the line up right now. Julien is watching the games. Julien is seeing the tape after the game. Julien breaks down every shift. I don't get it.

A judge who offered to pay a court fine for a teenager who stabbed her paedophile abuser has been found guilty of misconduct.
Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC made the offer after hearing the Bradford girl's case.
The teenager, then aged 14, had stabbed her abuser six years after he walked free from court, despite assaulting her when she was eight years old.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with attempted murder, but prosecutors eventually accepted a lighter charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Judge Hall sentenced the teenager to a two-year youth rehabilitation order and told her not to pay the mandatory victim surcharge, adding: "If anyone tries to force you, I will pay it myself."
The decision prompted an investigation by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office, which found his comments amounted to misconduct.
I don't normally agree with people who are convicted of stabbing someone being let off so lightly but I think that in this case, the judge made a wise, and just, decision.

For the First Time Ever Florida Democrats Requesting More VBM Ballots Than Republicans
Twenty-four thousand more Democrats requested ballots in 2018
As vote-by-mail Ballots drop this week, more will be sent to Democrats as this year Democrats requested more VBM ballots than Republicans for the first time ever. This is an indication of enthusiasm, and the results of field efforts by Democrats and progressive partners.
"We know that when Democrats vote, Democrats win, which is why we are doing everything we can to ensure high turnout on November 6th," said FDP Chairwoman Terrie Rizzo. "Our teams in the field will be using new data and technology to ensure those same voters that requested ballots, return them. There is too much at stake in 2018."

Three Game Roundup
An unbeaten start to the year for Ramsey Pavilion has been followed up with a somewhat disappointed run of results with a loss and a draw in the league being followed by a loss and elimination from the Hunts Junior Cup.
The first league match of the season saw Brampton Reserves visit Cricketfield Lane is a match between two teams that many are tipping to be in amongst the promotion race come the end of the season. A closely fought game was in the balance a two apiece with goals for Pavilion coming from Jake Burton & Tom Lloyd but a momentary lapse in concentration saw the away side nick a third goals and all three points.
Next up was a trip to March Rangers. Pavilion handed to debut to veteran Goalkeeper Jon Cade but he was powerless to stop Rangers taking and early lead. At half time the score was 3-1 to the home side but they would be forced to see at the game with 10 men after they had a man sent off for a professional foul. Pavilion fought back in the second half and managed to pull the score line back to 3-3 but the 10 men of March defended well and they eventually managed to cling on for a draw. Jake Burton was man of the match as he bagged all three goals for Pavilion.
The Hunts Junior Cup game served up a difficult tie as current holders Eaton Socon Reserves visited the Lane. Eaton play their football in the division above Pavilion and they started well, taking a two goal lead after 20 minutes. Things looked to be going from bad to worse for Pavilion as top scorer Jake Burton was forced to hobble from the field soon after taken out by an Eaton defender when through on goal. Pavilion, to their credit, stuck to the task and started to get a foothold in the game. Kyle McPartlin pulled one back for Pavilion. Eaton scored again to restore their two goal lead but Stevie Hurst made the score 3-2 in the dying moments of the half. Pavilion felt that there were well in this game going into the second half but things started poorly as Eaton got a fourth early on. The difference in class eventually told and as Pavilion ran out of steam in the latter stages of the match, the visitors added two more to make the final score 6-2 to Eaton Socon.
A disappointing run of results but Pavilion still find themselves in the Creake Charity Shield and mid-table in Division 2B with two games in hand over most of the sides above them.
,Three wins from three for Ramsey Pavilion as they progressed to the Second Round of the Creake Charity Shield at the expense of St. Ives Rangers, at side that currently ply their trade a division higher than the Pavos in Div 1B of the Cambs County League.
Player / Manager Matt Brading started himself in an advanced role in place of the absent Kyle McPartlin and it was he that opened the scoring following a well worked move. Rangers tried to get a foothold in the game and managed to equalise from a corner but the comeback did not last long as Brading added a second to restore his sides lead just before half time.
The second half was dominated by the visiting Pavilion side and, at times, you would have been hard pressed to pick which of the two sides was from the higher division. Eventually it fell to Skipper Steve Hurst to round of the scoring with a smart finish from distance.
3-1 the final score meaning Ramsey Pavilion advance to take on Fordham, also of Division 1B, in round 2 on 14th October at Cricketfield Lane.
A return to league action this weekend (23rd Sept) sees The Pavos welcome Brampton Reserves to The Lane for what will be their first home fixture of the season.
The 1st round of the Hunts Junior Cup saw Ramsey Pavilion make the short trip to take on Somersham Town Res and it was the away side who were the quickest out of the traps as they raced out to an early three goal lead. Jake Burton opened the scoring from the spot before Ben McKinnell added soon a second. No doubt it was a moment to savour for McKinnell as he opened his goal scoring account for Pavilion. In form Jamie Hurst then added a third goal to leave Somersham somewhat shell shocked. All credit to the home side though as, despite conceding three in the first half, they managed to maintain their composure and soon they were back in the game.
Some sloppy defending from Pavilion, particularly from set pieces, let the home side back into the game and before long what looked like a forgone conclusion was very much alive again. A real cup tie this one as an eventful first half eventually ended with the score at 3 apiece.
After letting a three-goal lead slip away, the Pavilion players must have had the half time team talk from Player/Manager Matt Brading still ringing in their ears as they began the second half. Whatever Brading had said seemed to do the trick as his side looked far more assured at the back while dominating possession and creating chances at the other end of the pitch.
Before long, the away side had regained their lead as Jake Burton added his second from the spot, and his fifth in two games, to put Pavilion 4-3 up before a Tom Lloyd screamer late in the game put the tie to bed. 5-3 the final score, with the win putting Pavilion into round 2 where they will face last year's winners of this competition Eaton Socon Res. The Round 2 fixture is scheduled to take place at Cricketfield Lane, Ramsey on 7th October.
More cup action this weekend for the Pavos as they travel to Cambs League 1B outfit St. Ives Rangers in the Creake Charity Shield. 15.00 kick off at St Ives Outdoor Centre.
Ramsey Pavilion got their 2017/18 league campaign underway in some style on Saturday with a 5-1 victory away at newly promoted Doddington Utd. The season almost stalled before getting going however, when a shortage of available referees in the area meant that Doddington's manager had to step in and officiate at the last moment to stop the game being called off.
RPFC April Round up
The Cambs Division 2B title has been decided with AFC Barley Mow of Huntingdon sealing the Championship along with a successive promotion. It was another month of dropped points for Ramsey Pavilion which ultimately saw their own promotion push run out of steam, they currently sit in 3rd position in the table but with several other sides close behind as the season draws to an end.
Once again, the month started well for Pavilion as a trip to Soham United Reserves saw the Ramsey side come out on top with a hard fought 3-2 win. Tom Lloyd bagged a brace with Kyle McPartlin grabbing the other.
Next up was the visit of a Brampton Reserves side that also held designs of a 3rd placed league finish. It was the visitors who took the 3pts on the day with a 3-2 win. Pavilion in truth, didn't put in a performance that many know they are capable of and we're probably flattered by the 3-2 score line in the end, with Matt Brading and Kyle McPartlin getting the goals for the home side.
Pavilion were hoping to get back to winning ways in their third fixture of the month as lowly Upwell Town visited Cricketfield Lane and it looked as they would do exactly that as they cruised out to a 3-0 lead thanks to an own goal, a smart Kyle McPartlin finish and a 25yd thunderbolt from Jamie Perry, but there was a twist in the tail. 8 minutes to play and Upwell's lively left midfielder cut inside to score what appeared to be a conciliation goal. 5 minutes to play and Upwell had a lifeline when their substitute sent a sweetly struck 20yd half volley into the top corner. Finally, Upwell won a free kick on the edge of the Pavilion box which was curled exquisitely past the helpless Dan Shire to give Upwell a share of the points.
Ramsey Pavilion now have two matches remaining, at Home to March Rangers on Saturday 22nd April and Away to Mildenhall United on 6th May, where they will look to seal a third place league finish that would represent a positive achievement for a club in its first season since re-forming.
Despite the disappointing results, it was a good month on a personal level for Striker Kyle McPartlin whose 3 goals in 3 games took him level with strike partner Jake Burton on 20 goals for the season. Not a bad return from a player that was a Central Defender when he joined the club in preseason!
RPFC March 2017 Round up
A crucial month ended somewhat disappointingly for Ramsey Pavilion FC as one win and two defeats, to two of their nearest rivals, saw their outside chances of promotion take a setback. Things had started brightly for the men in Blue & Black with a 3-2 home win over Wisbech St Mary 'A' thanks to two goals from Jake Burton and one from Player / Manager Matt Brading which sent them up to 3rd in the Cambs Division 2B Table.
Next up was the visit of high flying AFC Barley Mow. A win for the home side would have blown the race for promotion wide open but the reality was that Barley, and particularly their Striker Josh Turner, proved too strong, eventually running out 5-1 winners with Turner grabbing all five goals for the visitors and Jake Burton scoring a consolation goal for Pavilion.
Ramsey Pavilion had a chance to make amends the following Saturday when they travelled to 4th placed Brampton Reserves but again, came up just short. Despite several first choice players being away, Pavilion competed well and held the upper hand for long periods of the game. Striker Kyle McPartlin managed to bag himself two goals but the Pavos were unable to hold on, eventually going down 3-2.
Two disappointing defeats but Pavilion still find themselves in 4th position in the league with 6 games to play, 4 of those at home, and a game in hand over the teams around them. Director Nick Kay said "Despite two defeats in the last two matches, a 3rd place finish is still a very real possibility and would represent a huge achievement for a club in its first season of competitive Football"
As Cambs Division 2B moves towards the business end of the season, 4th Placed Ramsey Pavilion travelled to Mepal Sports FC looking to close the gap on their 3rd placed opponents who they had already comfortably beaten at Cricketfield Lane earlier in the season.
The Mepal pitch left a lot to be desired and, after a 1st half that was almost as ugly as the surface it was being played upon, the Pavos found themselves a goal to the good thanks to a well taken Jake Burton finish having been put through by an excellent Luke Furness free kick. The half wasn't without the odd scare though and Pavilion could count themselves fortunate that Mepal were unable to convert two very good chances of their own.
For much of the second half the spectacle was equally poor as both sides struggled to string 2 or 3 passes before the inevitable bobble on the pitch caused possession to be lost. Pavilion did well to soak up pressure, riding their luck at times but thanks to a superb double clearance off the line by Stephen Parr, their defence stood firm.
As the game wore on the Pavos finally got their passing game together and an excellent move between Stephen Hurst and Tom Lloyd set Jake Burton clear who again finished calmly to double the advantage. The goal seemed to knock the wind out of sails of the Mepal raft and before long Burton was away again. The chance looked lost when a horrendous first touch gave the Mepal 'keeper a chance to intercept but Burton just managed to get a toe end onto the ball before being upended in the box. Burton shook off the pain of the impact to covert the spok kick and complete his hat trick.
Three goals for Jake Burton takes him to the top of the club goal scoring charts with 16 goals in just 9 games, one ahead of strike partner Kyle McPartlin on 15.
Next up for The Pavos is the visit of Wisbech St Mary 'A' as they look to continue their unbeaten run and push for a top 3 finish.
Upwell Town 1-5 Ramsey Pavilion
The Pavo's took their improving side always to Upwell Town FC. Things started poorly with captain Steve Hurst and Veteran Alex Ramos arriving 15 minutes before kick off. Despite the less than perfect prep The Pavo's went 1 nil up through Kyle McPartlin within the first minute of the game, linking well with strike partner Jake Burton.
The returning Matt Skinner lasted 10 minutes until injury struck when he was replaced by #OWR. A fairly even first half saw the Pavo's go in 2-1 up after a goal from Jake Burton.
The second half was more business as usual as Jake Burton scored again, Tom Lloyd scored an outrageous back flick, and Jamie Perry drive home to complete a 5-1 win.
Manager Matt Brading said "We didn't start well, we had to make changes early, credit to Tom Allgood for moving into Centre Half and #OWR coming on early who both had good games. We showed again our strength in depth. Special mention to Jason Wilson who stood in between the sticks and as always didn't let anyone down."
Ramsey Pavilion 4-3 Wimblington
After storming into 3-1 lead with goals by Jake Burton (1) and Kyle McPartlin (2), the second a screamer into the top corner, the Pavo's were pegged back to 3-3 by a resilient Wimblington team. On hearing the Wimblington Centre Half with 3 minutes to go say 'this is a great result lads' The Pavo's showed their never say die attitude with Jake Burton going though one on one with the Wimblington 'keeper and, despite their skipper trying twice to drag him down, showed unbelievable composure to secure the points with an ice cold finish and seal the 3 points.
Manager Matt Brading said 'complacency set in a little and my changes didn't help the team, i'm thankful to the lads for ensuring we still took the 3 points'
Ramsey Pavilion had a score to settle this week as they travelled to a Little Downham Swifts side that had won 13 from 13 so far this season including 6-2 win at Cricketfield Lane back in December.

Merlo Torrefazione
Fortitude Valley
Merlo knows coffee. First there was Papa Merlo and his little trattoria in Tirano, Italy. Then Gino Merlo migrated to Australia and introduced the espresso machine to Queensland.
Following in his father's footsteps, Dean Merlo, opened Merlo's first torrefazione (Italian for roasting house) in the mid 90s. Standing on the corner of McLachlan and James Streets, in the Valley's fashion and foodie hub, the roastery still stands - roasting and selling beans by the bagful including Merlo special blends and single origins from countries like Kenya, Columbia and Costa Rica.
Beans are roasted fresh daily and can be custom ground to suit your coffee machine. While your beans are being prepared, you can enjoy a complimentary coffee at the communal table or have a wander round the shop where you'll find everything from the latest gadgets and grinders to coffee cups, machines and more.
In another first, Merlo has just introduced the Shakerato, a trend that has been sweeping Italy for the past year. This delicious drink combines a shot of espresso with a dash of sugar and a heap of ice shaken with milk in a cocktail shaker. The result is a refreshingly cool concoction that's a perfect pick me up on a warm afternoon. Shakeratos are available at all Merlo locations from noon onwards.

A collective sigh of relief was heard throughout the shipping world as news of a newly agreed upon contract between the Teamsters and UPS has emerged.
For the last 2 months, a dramatic negotiation between the Teamsters and UPS has been taking place. Further complicating the process was that, while the Teamsters management initially agreed to the UPS proposal, the contract was essentially voted down by the membership and a potential strike was in the offing.
As a result of the failed vote, a short extension of the existing contract was implemented. However, UPS began planning for a potential strike by limiting its intake of freight prior to the next vote.
A strike during the critical period between Thanksgiving and Christmas would have been disastrous, not only for UPS but for shippers who would need to scramble to find alternative carriers to make their deliveries.
The initial vote was rejected on a formality, due to the fact that not enough members voted.
The new contract seems to be similar to the initial offer. However, UPS workers were apparently able to extract a few concessions regarding the amount of subcontracted work, as well as wages and restrictions on pensions and vacation benefits.
Basic Outline of Contract
It seems that the basic outline of the initial offer still stands.
The initial offer from UPS included an increase in wages for both full-time workers, as well as a higher starting wage for part-time workers.
Given that the concessions extracted from UPS apparently included wages, it's possible that the original wage increase offer was revised prior to being accepted.
Hybrid Drivers
A new driver category, "Hybrid Driver," was proposed that would essentially take over weekend deliveries. The main reasoning behind this move is that UPS fully expects the volume of weekend deliveries to increase as a result of eCommerce.

The Azores Running Trail (ATR) is an initiative of the Blue Island Athletics Independent Club and will progress inside the areas of Faial Natural Park – elected as a European Destination of Excellence (EDEN) by the European Commission and the only one in Portugal awarded with this classification.
The event will take place on the 24th of May, the European Day of Parks, and will be divided in two competitions, the 10 Volcanos Trail and the Faial´s Coast to Coast Ultra Trail.
10 Volcanos Trail
As the name suggests, this trail starts at onof the largest and most spectacular calderas on the planet and crosses, through 20km, the 10 most important volcanoes of the fissural alignment of the Capelo Peninsula. Biodiversity and geodiversity are omnipresent throughout this trail and the particularly outstanding landscapes allow us to discover an important part of the Azorean endemic flora in its natural state. This high difficulty trail follows the most recent volcanoes of Faial and reaches the most recent territory of Europe, the Capelinhos Volcano, a true lunar scenario, where it is possible to see tuft, volcanic bombs and ash formed only 57 years ago, ending at Porto Comprido – the biggest and most important whaling station of Azores, between 1940 and 1957.
Faial´s Coast to Coast Ultra Trail
The Coast to Coast Trail also starts near an old port – Porto da Boca da Ribeira, in Ribeirinha. This high difficulty trail of 52km transports us to times past, when the inhabitants of Faial used canadas (typical dirt roads) to carry goods from one village to another, by their own means or with the help of animals. Passing by an old lighthouse, destroyed during the strong seism of 1998, we are reminded of the islands' volcanic nature and of its people. A fair part of the trail develops through the biggest and most spectacular graben of the archipelago, a big portion of land that collapsed between two tectonic faults. The trail ends at the central caldera, the biggest and most important volcano of the island, reaching the Ten Volcanos Trail.
These 52km take us to a journey in geological and historical times, crossing the island of Faial from coast to coast, following its formation, from East to the West. It starts in an 800 thousand years old territory, passes through a central area of 450 thousand years old and ends in one of the most important geological places in the world, the sleeping Capelinhos Volcano.

The wait is over ... at least for most people.
Every metro Atlanta community that held a referendum on allowing earlier Sunday alcohol sales appeared to approve the measure on Election Day last week.
The General Assembly passed a law known as the "brunch bill, earlier this year, that left it up to local residents to decide whether they want restaurants and wineries to sell alcohol beginning at 11 a.m. on Sundays. (Previous law required them to wait until 12:30 p.m.)
Gov. Nathan Deal signed the bill into law in May.
Residents in 87 cities and counties across the state said yes to the earlier time, including about 30 areas in metro Atlanta.
HOW THEY VOTED | Sunday Brunch Bill results
Previous coverage:
For some places, like Stone Mountain and Dunwoody, the early Sunday restaurant sales have already begun. In other areas, the wait will be just a bit longer as cities and counties amend their existing alcohol rules.
Here is when the earlier Sunday sales will begin in these metro areas:
Cobb: Nov. 18
Forsyth: The county commission is set to discuss the local ordinance Thursday night. If approved, earlier Sunday says would begin Nov. 18.
Gwinnett: Dec. 9
Atlanta: Dec. 2
Acworth: Nov. 18
Alpharetta: Dec. 2
Austell: Nov. 18
Avondale Estates: The city has to change its current ordinance, which requires three readings by the city council. The first council reading was held Nov. 12. The council hopes to have the two additional readings finished within the week and the ordinance changed by Thanksgiving.
Chamblee: The city council is set to discuss changing its local alcohol ordinance at its work session Nov. 15 and full meeting Nov. 20.
College Park: Nov. 18
Decatur: Nov. 11
Douglasville: The city council will discuss changing the local ordinance during Thursday night's meeting, and vote on the change Nov. 19.
Duluth: Nov. 18
Dunwoody: Was effective immediately
Hapeville: The city council will begin discussing amending the city ordinance at its Dec. 4 meeting. Two readings of the proposed changes are required to update the legislation. If the first reading is waived, approval could come at its Dec. 9 meeting. If a second reading is not waived, the council would likely approve the update at its Dec. 23 meeting.
Johns Creek: The city council is set to discuss amending the local ordinance at its Dec. 10 meeting.
Marietta: Nov. 18
Peachtree Corners: Nov. 18
Roswell: Nov. 18
Sandy Springs: Nov. 18
Smyrna: The city council will vote on the changes Nov. 19, if approved earlier Sunday sales would begin Nov. 25.
Stone Mountain: Was effective immediately
Tucker: Nov. 13
Woodstock: Nov. 11
We'll update the list as we hear from more cities and counties. But keep in mind, retail establishments still will have to wait until 12:30 p.m. to begin Sunday sales.

How can we compare facts in the novel with reality?
How does Wells' compare the Martian invasion to British colonialism? In the chapter number 7, there's a paragraph in which the protagonist says "They are dangerous, because no doubt they are mad with terror. Perhaps they expected to find no living things – certainly no intelligent living things. A shell in the pit, if the worst comes to the worst, will kill them all."
He is saying that Martians are afraid of them, and that if they show a violent conduct they will respond in the same way. The same happened when the Britain colonised other countries or places, the people who lived there was also afraid and if that people did something which seemed offensive for the colonisers, they were killed.
The novel's plot is the destructive invasion of some aliens who land in the earth. The symbolic plot is a denunciation to our world, and how human think and act. It would synthesize the security and vanity with which the auto satisfied humanity thinks it's the most advanced society that exists.
The catastrophe explained in the novel is bigger due to the combination of the human curiosity and Martian aggressiveness. It was a historic moment of prevailing colonisations and Wells said that before judging, we should remember that humans also have destroyed and annihilate species, animals and what they considered inferior humans.
No writer before the 19th century had expressed a thought of the possibility that far from the intellectual life in the earth, other intellectual lives, in case of existing, had evolved above the human level. In the first pages of The War of the World we can read this idea; he was the first to say out loud what he thought about this human vanity. For sure we don't still know if those other lives exist, or if they are more intelligent than we are, but the fact that the possibility is there, is what pulled off that clam confidence in our future.
There is a writer, Vicente López, specialised in Wells' works that understands The War of the Worlds as a narrative argument about the humility of humans, and not as a prophecy, that is how was understood by most of the 19th century society.

The Ultimate Digital Marketing Toolbox
As a digital marketing agency, we have access to a lot of Web tools. But we're extremely picky. We won't recommend a resource until we've kicked the tires and taken them out for a serious test drive. We want to see how these tools work in the real world with real data, putting them through their paces before using them on behalf of our clients.
Tool Ownership & Access
One element that differentiates The Spectrum Group Online from other SEO/SEM experts is that we believe all the data used to optimize a website belongs to you, the client. No black box here. We suggest that any online systems or Web tools be owned by the client, which allows continuity and access to important data.
That said, there are instances where we have an agency account (e.g., a professional version of a tool that has more bells and whistles). In this case, we agree to any reports and data exports before we begin work on your behalf.
Our Favorite Web Tools
We're often asked for recommendations, ones that we have in our tool belt. If we like the tool enough, we became a reseller also known as an affiliate. Even though we get a little something in return for recommending them, it's paltry compared to the huge value each of these Web tools provide. If we're an affiliate, we'll disclose our relationship.
Google Search Console
We consider Search Console as an essential SEO tools. It gives you a direct window into how your website is performing in Google organic search. Curious to see what keywords or search queries are getting you organic traffic? Want to track a page's performance on SERP (Search Engine Results Page)? Then you're in luck. Search Console has the data.
Google Analytics
Google's flagship analytics tool can give you a huge amount of information on your website and its visitors. Google Analytics provides trends and users insights that you can use across all digital marketing efforts, including paid search and social.
Bing Webmaster Tools
Bing is often dismissed, as this search engine's popularity is eclipsed by Google. Even so, they control 2.5% market share, translating into millions of searches per day. Bing Webmaster Tools is an integral part of managing your website's performance on Microsoft's search engine.
Google Tag Manager
Tracking is the foundation of digital marketing. If you're not tracking what people are doing on your website, then how can you see if it's working? We use Google Tag Manager to help collect data for Google Analytics and Search Console, as well as Google Ads and non Google tools like HotJar and Bing Ads.
Local SEO Tools
Google My Business
Google My Business is a critical SEO tool, even if you're business isn't "local". Shown on the knowledge panel (on the right of the search bar), in search results, or on Google Maps, GMB gives searchers information — like location, hours, service areas — about your business. From NAP (Name, Address, Phone) info, to reviews, photos and more, GMB is an essential part of any business's online presence.
Bing Places for Business
Bing Places is Microsoft's version of Google My Business. Working in a similar fashion, the platform helps you ensure Bing visitors get all the information they need about your company. Like GMB, Bing Places displays information on your business including photos and the geographical location. It also display reviews hosted on the third-party review platform Yelp.
Bright Local
Bright local is another local SEO tool that helps you build citations (mentions of your brand without a hyperlink) so you can manage your online reputation and even generate leads. We use Bright Local to add extra insight to our reporting on a website's general SEO health and to help our clients proactively build link relationships.
WhiteSpark helps companies manage their online citations, improving Google rankings, and building stronger local search foundations. As with Bright Local, we use WhiteSpark to give us a wider perspective when we're trying to improve a client's online Local SEO footprint.
Link Building Tools
AHREFS allows you to audit your website, look into your competitors' sites, as well as research keywords and backlinks – all in one place. At Spectrum we liked to get balanced opinions, rather than relying on one source. That's why we use AHREFS alongside the other similar tools listed below.
Moz Pro
Moz's keyword explorer, Moz Pro neatly combines keyword research metrics and analytics data meaning we can quickly determine a website's health and the best optimization strategies.
SEMRush is another keyword focused tool that we use to help measure a website's overall SEO health. On SEMRush we carry out keyword audits, check the quality of backlinks and look for optimization insights.
Majestic calls itself the "planet's largest Link Index database" and acts as a kind of SEO professional's search engine. Offering data and analysis on your site, competitors websites and much more, we use Majestic to help with link building and website optimization.
Content Analysis Tools
On page SEO is a key part of building a website that ranks highly on search engines. Yoast plugs into your WordPress website and assesses the SEO quality of the content on every page on your site, making the optimization process quick and painless.
Have you ever wondered what people actually do on your website? Well, Hotjar allows you to record website visitors mouse movements and clicks (keeping their anonymity), so you can watch them navigate and interact with your site's content. Understanding user behavior is integral to creating engaging content that converts.
Advertising Tools
While Google Ads has improved significantly in recent years, the reporting tools have room for improvement. That's why we use Optmyzr to give us extra insights that are built right into the dashboard. We rely on several reports that pull together data on PPC performance.
Proving ROI is vital to digital marketing. That's why we love — and recommend — tools that make measuring easier. CallRail helps companies track phone calls from their website, social media profiles, and to quickly determine which digital marketing campaigns drive phone calls and closed business. That's why we're proud to be a preferred CallRail agency.

So far, most of the headphone amplifiers that have graced these pages have been portable, budget items; the same very definitely can't be said for this brushed-steel behemoth, the WooAudio WES Electrostatic Headphone Amp and, dangling insouciantly next to it, Stax's SR-008 Mk2 Electrostatic headphones. According to audiophile reviewer Steve Guttenberg, you're looking at "state of the art sound for a tiny fraction of the cost of a system built around speakers."
Electrostatic drivers are the key elements here, promising far lower distortion than standard dynamic drivers. Unfortunately you can't just plug them into your iPod; they require special electronics, such as the WES amp; the up-side is a system that can reveal unheard detail in even familiar tracks.
"Keith Richards' guitar wizardry lights up "Sway" like never before, and I'm hearing a sense of depth and space around Charlie Watts' drum kit for the first time. I feel like I'm hearing a band live in the studio, not a recording. Quiet details, such as subtle reverberation in the mix are newly audible … Amy Winehouse's Back to Black uncorked heretofore unheard details of the brash electric guitars contrasting against lush orchestral strings. And Amy cooing in my ears like never before tops off the experience" Steve Guttenberg, Home Entertainment
Of course, when an self-confessed audio-addict says "tiny fraction", that might not mean the same thing to budget-minded you and I. In fact, the WooAudio WES amp comes in at $4,990 (just $4,500 if you pre-order) and the Stax headphones at $2,410. WooAudio expect to begin shipping each hand-built WES from October this year.

Super Duper!!
Who in the world could go without Bandaids? BigOnes? LittleOnes? RoundOnes? SquareOnes?
Come On... I don't think it even matters what brand they are unless it's a big messy mess!!
So Yes I Love Life Band Aids, With their Autmation Pictures On them, they put a smile on a kids face Daily!!
Life brand products are awesome and work just as well as larger brands. Shoppers Drug Mart is where the Life brand is associate with and I love these products. These band aids work so well and I always have them in my first aid kit for our home.
Life Brand band aids are the generic brand for Shoppers Drug Mart.
They are less expensive then the well known brands on the shelf.
They are pretty decent quality. I don't find that they stick as well as
the Band-Aid brand. But they certainly do the job. Flexible and breathable.
#Life is the generic brand found in our drugstore. They make a band aid that is in my opinion on par with other name brand types. Offered in a latex free option. The band aid is both flexible and breathable. Life band aids will stretch and bend with your skin. I purchased the fabric bandages in a package of ten. They are available in a multitude of assortments. Priced very well. Will buy again and do recccomend!

On The Anniversary Of Emmett Till's Murder, His Cousin Continues The Search For Justice
Primary Content
It's been 64 years since 14-year-old Emmett Till was murdered in Mississippi.
Till was kidnapped by a gang of white men and killed after he whistled at a white woman in a grocery store.
The two men behind the crime were eventually acquitted by an all-white jury.
But the pictures of Emmett Till's body during his open-casket funeral sparked outrage across the country and fueled the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
GPB's Leah Fleming interviews Deborah Watts, Emmett Till's cousin
Deborah Watts was just a toddler when her cousin Emmett was murdered.
Today, she is the director and president of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, a group seeking justice for Emmett over 60 years later.
Earlier this year, Watts sat down with GPB's Leah Fleming to discuss her family's story and the powerful memory of Emmett's mother that still inspires her today.
The Justice Department has reopened an inquiry into the decades-old case of Emmett's death, which is still under investigation.
In 2016, Congress passed the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Reauthorization Act, which added amendments to an earlier bill introduced by Atlanta Congressman John Lewis.


text: One the the new fence lines was totally completed today. This connects two smaller pastures together and also leads up to the barn for shelter. The original lower field had no shelter unless we took down a section of fence. Very inconvenient and made for a lot of extra work. The paddock area it connects to will have to be resown at some time. Right now it houses my appaloosa horse that left and came back after loosing his eyesight, and this is his safe haven for the time being.

It's been a few days since I posted… I've been relatively removed from my computer. After a bout of severe flu-like symptoms, a battle with a woodpecker (seriously…), and a ferocious deathmatch with plain old laziness, I'm back at the computer for a moment. Long enough to wish a happy holidays and seasons greetings and all that jazz to all my friends and regular readers (and I suppose those who just happened to drop by, as well).
Blog posting may be on hold for a bit, as I'm headed down to the Bay area for a few days, and may or may not have enough time to share my thoughts. But given the holiday season, the festive mood, and the two-hour-long-holiday-traffic-jam I just sat through, allow me to share two things with you that you may or may not be familiar with.
First, NEWS – Definitely my favorite news story from the past few weeks:
"Balducci's Offers Ham for Chanukah"
Click Here for the NY Daily News article
Click Here for more photos on Flickr
Second, MUSIC – A CD review on Questioning Reality?
Christmas Remixed: Holiday Classics Re-Grooved
While I have a vast array of musical tastes and a great appreciation for a wide variety of music (hell, I have a Didjeridoo and a Ukelele), I rarely (if ever) promote albums themselves, but part of what helps me keep my sanity during the holiday season is the Six Degrees compilation, Christmas Remixed. Seriously… how can you go wrong with Beef Wellington remixing Crosby's Happy Holidays and Dan the Automator reworking Dean Martin's Jingle Bells? If you're looking for some Christmas Music that's a bit beyond the normal fare, give it a shot. It's a pleasant blend of traditional Christmas and electronica-remixes. And incidentally, I've been hearing a few of the tracks on the compilation while standing in lines at various department stores. which is surprising, yet somewhat reassuring. There's hope out there.

There is a cyber crop going on over at Svensk Scrapbooking with loads of fun and inspiring challenges. I wont be able to play much, but I did go home early from work today… ehhhh…. Well, I did work 60 hours this week, so I thought I was entitled to. Period. So I've made one layout and one card this afternoon.
The challenge was to be inspired by the word "Summer Holliday". And this is my dear son, playing his clarinet in the orchestra leading the school to church where the graduation ceremony was held last Friday. The title reads "On the march towards summer holliday".
The card challenge was to be inspired by the football – round shaped card in only black and white. That was a tough one, I tell ya'!
The stamps are from The Rubber Café and pimped with some glossy accent (sentiment) and pearls (flowers).
And over to my Wohoo!!! I got this in my mail today:
And on page 55 I found my sympathy card!!!
My first published card in an American magazine and I'm thrilled. It's also so much fun it's Basic Grey papers and a Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps stamp on it – my favorites!!! (sorry for bad photo, it's taken in the middle of the winter with no light…)
Have a wonderful Friday night!

Tonight I was cleaning out my craft area and came across these bingo markers. About 12 years ago I used to work as a Recreation Therapist and was always trying to come up with activities for my patients. This is an activity was so much fun. My kids loved to do it...make paintings with Bingo Markers. They love making dots and it isn't very messy. The Bingo markers can be purchased anywhere; I have seen them at Walmart, and the Dollar Tree. Great activity for all ages!
Here is a link for printables for the bingo markers

On 25th June, the President of the Republic, H. E. Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, received Aristides Gomes, Prime Minister of Guinea Bissau, at the People's Palace in Malabo.
During the meeting in the official office of the Head of State, the two exchanged impressions on the current political situation in the Republic of Guinea Bissau.
Regarding the topic, the Prime Minister asked for advice from H. E. Obiang Nguema Mbasogo -as a recognised Pan-African throughout the continent- with respect to the preparation and successful holding of the presidential elections which are soon to be held in his country.
The audience was also attended by the head of Equatoguinean diplomacy, Simeon Oyono Esono.

The Dark Knight Slot Review
The Dark Knight slot game is an exciting and mysterious game based on the Dark Knight Batman film starring Christian Bale. This slot has a huge 243 ways to win, while stacked wilds increase the payouts further.
This slot really sets the nerves tingling and the heart racing – and not just because of the massive £1 million progressive jackpot up for grabs!
How to Play The Dark Knight Slot
The Dark Knight slot features lots of your favourite Batman characters, including The Joker and Batman himself, who both feature in the bonus rounds.
Scenes from the movie play throughout the gaming action for more thrills, getting you right into the heat of the storyline.
The Dark Knight slot game has 5 reels and 243 ways to win. There are stacked wilds, multipliers, free spins and 4 progressive jackpots – including a massive £1 million waiting to be won in the mega pot.
You can also play Dark Knight slots on your mobile for crime fighting thrills on the move!
The Dark Knight film came out in 2008 and grossed an incredible $1 billion in box offices across the world. In fact, the Dark Knight was the third highest grossing film of all time. This has made the Dark Knight slot a popular game which is set to become a real casino classic.
Microgaming released this cool slot title to coincide with the Batman film. The great sound effects and music bring the story to life with video clips straight from The Dark Knight film featuring throughout the game for extra realism and atmosphere.
The Dark Knight Slot Free Spins
The Joker logo is scatter in this slot game (a combination of the Batman logo and the Joker's face). Hitting 5 scatters on the reels together awards a huge 15,000 coins.
Spin 3 or more scatters to trigger the Free Spins round where you can enjoy up to 15 free spins.
During this round all payouts receive a 2x multiplier, while if the Joker logo shows up again during the round the multiplier increases further.
The Batman logo is wild and because the wilds can be stacked in this game, there are many winning opportunities in the Dark Knight slot.
If the stacked wilds appear on the reels during the Free Spins round you can clean up with some huge payouts.
The Dark Knight Slot Bonus Rounds
In addition to the Free Spins round, the Dark Knight slot bonus round offers more chances to win a big payout.
Watch out for Batman or the Joker strolling across the screen because this triggers the random bonus round!
The rewards are varied – you could win a cash prize, a multiplier, a free re-spin or extra wilds. There is also a Bonus Wheel feature, which is randomly activated and leads you to the progressive jackpot.
The Dark Knight Slot Progressive Jackpot
The 4 level progressive jackpot in The Dark Knight slot game means there are lots of chances to win a big reward. Payouts vary wildly with jackpots starting at £10 (mini), £100 (minor), £10,000 (major) and £1,000,000 (mega).
When Batman or the Joker appear you are transported to the Wheel of Fortune where you spin to decide your progressive jackpot prize!
You never know when this round will strike which makes playing The Dark Knight slot doubly exciting. Pow! Ka-boom! Bing!
Microgaming has a long standing deal with DC comics so we are sure it won't be long until the next Batman-themed slot game.
For more movie-themed slots action, check out Iron Man 3 slot and Tomb Raider slot.
