text: As a kid, living in the United States without a green card was little more than an occasional inconvenience – waking up extra early on a Saturday morning to meet with a lawyer, being restricted to the United States side of the Niagara Falls. Nothing too life-altering. My earliest memory of feeling affected in some way – my immigrant coming-of-age moment, so to speak – was when my parents missed my 8th grade graduation. They were scheduled for an interview for permanent residency that day. That was the first moment I felt a twinge of unfairness and a slight discomfort with my undocumented status. At the age of fourteen I didn't know how to tell my friends why my parents weren't at my graduation. "My parents wanted to be here," I told them. "They just had an emergency." The first of many uncomfortable, vague and deliberately elusive answers to innocent prodding from friends. I worked at being a model student in high school – took honors and Advanced Placement classes, was lead cellist, varsity swimmer, volunteer reporter for the regional paper, president of Model Congress, graduated 11th out of 700 seniors. I even drafted a version of the DREAM Act for my school's Model Congress Club, which passed into law at the annual high school congressional convention. But that was simply simulation and I distinctly remember the reality of watching the immigration reform protests of 2006 on television, feeling like a coward and a hypocrite on the sidelines. I had always been vocal about human rights issues but tried to slip by these particular debates unnoticed. By that time, I had heard enough arguments between my parents on the issue, had filed enough paperwork, had made enough visits to immigration offices to understand that something more important than my 8th grade graduation was at stake. My parents' application for permanent residency got muddled in bureaucracy after their interview on the day of my graduation – paperwork followed by waiting, followed by more paperwork and more waiting, and then switching of lawyers and more paperwork that suspended us in a grey area of existence all too familiar to undocumented immigrants. So I learned to lay low until the storm passed. And it did. The immigration reform protests fizzled out with no discernible effect on my life. I continued to study and take the SATs and apply to colleges because that had been the plan all along. But graduating from college and then working as a nanny – with no better alternatives available to me – was not part of the plan. Without a worker's permit, I could not be legally employed outside the realm of domestic service and other such jobs. Then almost two years after my college graduation, I was granted permission to work legally in the United States, as many undocumented youth were thanks to President Obama's Deferred Action policy. But I am still waiting on the DREAM Act. I am waiting on a real, lasting solution that provides a path to citizenship, not just another two years of the same uncertainty and instability that has made planning for the future an agonizing impossibility. The last ten years of my life are the reality for many, many undocumented youth. The specific details may be different, but the general course of events is the same: you are brought to the United States as a kid, get sent to school, study hard to justify your parents' sacrifices, get old enough to understand the situation you're in, and ultimately hit a dead end. And you ask these kids, who by now may be twenty four like me or older, who are you? And what can they say, with one foot here and one foot there, straddling cultures and identities? Half-American? I know I'm not American, at least not by legal standards, which, let's face it, is what matters when you're trying to be a functioning member of society. I'm not an American. But the harnessed power of Ernest Hemingway's words runs a chill down my spine and veterans singing the United States national anthem bring tears to my eyes and I insist that there is a difference between undocumented and unauthorized because I feel the English language deep in my bones. What does it mean to be American? This question is being asked of every single person living in the United States. It is not an individualized, isolated issue anymore. It is not only whispered about and dealt with in the living rooms of the undocumented immigrants. What does it mean to be American? Even unspoken, it is clawing at our insides, forcing us to question long held norms, slowly shifting the structure of our society. It is creating a whole generation with an identity crisis, and it's not only a crisis for the young people in my situation, but for the entire United States. This country that was founded on immigration, what is this country founded on now? Is it not still a country of aspiring freedom fighters, of revolutionaries and law-breakers, of Samuel Adams and George Washington, of Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr., of Susan B. Anthony and Betty Friedan? Aren't these people the revered heroes of American history? We forget sometimes that they were initially on the wrong side of history. We are reminded that "sometimes heroes and heroines break the law. After all, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat at the front of a Montgomery Alabama bus she broke the law too." (David Leopold, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, in his article "Jose Antonio Vargas Takes His Seat.") Change is never welcomed with open arms. I can't speak for other young immigrants without lawful status, but I don't want sympathy – I want solidarity. I want to show that we are worth fighting for. We are a varied, vibrant group of contributing individuals who have, in our own individual ways, been quietly fighting for recognition all our lives. We are your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, your tempest-tossed. We have backbone. And we want to bring this country back to greatness. But we first need to be made a part of this country.

This week's featured holiday business- Rhedyn Guesthouse, Cilmery
Enjoy nature at its best at Rhedyn Guesthouse, set in the Irfon Valley, Mid Wales.
The Irfon Valley is such a beautiful spot to see so many different birds throughout spring and summer. You can spot Chiffchaffs, Redstarts, Pied Flycatchers, Blackcaps and Wood Warblers. Most are seen from our window including nuthatches and a family of Great Spotted Woodpeckers. Other frequent visitors include Red Kites, Buzzards, the shy Jay, Ravens and the Oh so beautiful Goldfinch.
Not far from us at Rhedyn is Builth Wells which has a particularly beautiful stretch of the River Wye. Here the river passes through some of the most stunning and unspoilt scenery imaginable. Being unpolluted, the river bank makes it an incredible area for watching nature. Some of the most spectacular scenery occurs where the river's tributaries tumble into the river, cutting deep into the rocks.
The Salmon is the River Wye's most famous resident. Every year these amazing fish travel 6,000 miles from the Atlantic in an exhausting journey. But a number of lesser known but equally fascinating fish also make their own migratory journeys to the Wye. Such as the Sea Lampreys - these four feet long fish are predators who come to the Wye to spawn between May and June.
These remarkable fish can clamp their mouths onto rocks to move them and create a safe nest. The Lampreys can also thrash their tails to create a dip in which to lay their eggs. A good place to see them in the water is from Boughrood Bridge at Llyswen.
The Wye is also a good place to look for birds including the Dipper which loves fast flowing, shallow water and lots of boulders on which to perch. it can be identified by its strange habit of bobbing up and down like it is doing a curtsy. A brilliant way of exploring the river and its wildlife is by boat or canoe.
Also seen from our windows is the Mynydd Epynt, The Welsh-language name means mountain (crossed by a) horse-path, one of Wales 107 Marilyns. A Marilyn is a hill in the British Isles that has at least 150 m (492 feet) of relative height
So, plenty to see and explore in this lovely part of Mid Wales. Rhedyn has three superb ensuite bedrooms, two with private entrances, all with TVs, and lots of little luxuries. Seen from any side of the house are fields, During summer we are surrounding by sheep, and plenty of lambs during the spring.
The summer brings the farmer out to harvest, his cows peeping over the bushes – who is looking at whom?! Or maybe his horses left to kick up their heels.
And after all this excitement and exhaustion, stay for dinner, everyone says it is very good.

08Nov 08 November. Thursday, Week 31
1st Reading: Philippians (3:3-8)
Knowing Christ cleanses the heart, in a spiritual circumcision
It is we who are the circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh – even though I, too, have reason for confidence in the flesh.
If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.
Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.
Gospel: Luke (15:1-10)
The shepherd searching for the lost sheep
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." So he told them this parable: "Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
"Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.' Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
Finding what was lost
Have you ever spent precious time looking for something you've lost? With the years, increasingly I find myself wondering where I put my keys, or my cellphone. We also find ourselves looking for people. Parents look for their children if they ramble off. Men and women look for someone they can share their lives with. We all look for friends, people with whom we can share life's journey. Underneath all this searching and longing is a more fundamental search for God who alone can satisfy the deepest longings in our hearts. Saint Augustine wrote that our hearts are restless until they rest in God.
But even more fundamental than our search for God is God's search for us. God's search for us took flesh in the person of Jesus. He said of himself that he came to seek and to save the lost; he gave expression to God's longing to be in communion with us. The shepherd who searches for his lost sheep and the woman who searches for her lost coin in this morning's two parables are images of Jesus' search for us, of God's search for us in Jesus. God never ceases to seek us out because we are all lost in different ways. Our search for God is always in response to God's search for us. In the words of the first letter of Saint John, 'We love because God first loved us.'
The one per cent
Many of Jesus recorded words were spoken at the dining tables of his wealthy hosts. The two parables he tells in today's gospel were told at table. Each concludes with someone who has happily retrieved lost goods and then invites friends and neighbours to 'Rejoice with me!' Happy occasion like these are compared with God's joy in heaven over one repentant sinner, which is greater than over the ninety-nine righteous who have no need to repent.
Each of us is reflected both in the ninety-nine sheep that are always there and countable, and also in lost sheep that wanders off and is reluctant to live under control. We have ideas and talents that we understand and try to use. We are quietly proud of them, and often get credit for them. These are the ninety-nine percent of ourselves that has "no need to repent." But has God also poured an unruly talent or quality into us, the one percent of lost sheep? Stretching the parable a bit, this easily lost part of ourselves can be a special grace so fleeting that it can easily pass us by. Have we some dream that seems too idealistic even to mention? It might be so demanding that we try to suppress it.
The parable assures us that the lost sheep and lost coin in each of us can be found. We must leave aside the ninety-nine other aspects of ourselves and seek this one special thing. Are we ready and willing to light a lamp and sweep the house of our existence diligently, till we discover the lost coin? With this in mind we can also recall the gospel warning about judging our neighbour. We judge from the evidence we see; but what we see not may be the full story. Our estimates seldom take into consideration the potential of the lost sheep or the lost coin. Only when the lost one is found, is the picture complete. Jesus wants all his people to share in his work as shepherd, never ceasing to care for those outside the margins, the lost ones that he came to find.

GOVERNMENT will not accept the laying off of workers by mining houses without following normal laid down procedures which include informing the Ministry of Labour and engagement of trade unions.
Labour and Social Security Minister Fackson Shamenda said mining houses should not take advantage of the current challenges to downsize labour force but that where there was need to do so in order to improve operational efficiency, normal laid down procedures would have to be followed.
Mr. Shamenda said this in a statement yesterday following a consultative meeting held at Mopani Copper Mines (MCM) Central offices in Kitwe with chief executive officers (CEOs) of various mining houses aimed at dissecting the challenges affecting the mines with regard to labour.
All the CEOs of the major mining houses save for Luanshya Copper Mines (LCM) attended the meeting that was facilitated by the Chamber of Mines.
The Minister, who was giving the resolutions of the meeting, said going forward in addressing the problem of job cuts in the mining industry, no mining house would be allowed to work in isolation in addressing their individual challenges.
Mr. Shamenda said the Government, managements of mining houses and the unions would from now onwards be required to work together in order to have a win-win situation.
He said before any decision to shed off labour could taken, individual mines would have to engage with labour unions to firstly explore ways of how to minimize the impact of the current challenges.
"This is not the first time that we are having these challenges because we have gone through moments where the mining sector is facing a crisis but the only thing important and required is for all of us to work together in order to minimize the impact of these challenges," he said.
Mr. Shamenda said in order to exclusively deal with the challenges affecting the mining industry, it was resolved that the engagement should be extended to the Ministry of Finance together with Commerce, Trade and Industry in order to look at a broader economic situation as it relates to the sector.
The Minister assured of Government's commitment to addressing the challenges affecting the mining industry.
Mr. Shamenda, who assured that Government was on top of things in handling the crisis affecting the mining industry, said his Ministry working together with the Ministry of Mines would continue to engage the mines to ensure harmony.

Networking meeting : "Street workers must speak out" (Geneva, 11 Oct. 2017)
Oct 11, 2017
On September 28th, Alexandre Widmer, street social worker in Switzerland at the Espace Prévention la Côte, was in Geneva to represent Dynamo International-Street Workers Network during the side event organized at the Human Rights Summit by our partner the Consortium for Street Children (CSC), an international network of organizations and individuals advocating for the rights of street children.
The meeting, held at the United Nations Palace, made it possible to formally present the new General Comment on the Rights of Children in Street Situations to representatives of States, the private economy and civil society.
Alexandre, street social worker more used to the streets, shares this experience at the summit and his impressions of this networking meeting organized as a preamble to the United Nations conference.
"I was the only street worker"
It seems to me that I was the only street worker in the audience. Yet, we are important partners of the work with street youth. That is why, during my speech, I particularly emphasized our expertise on the field and of the streets, as well as our daily advocacy work on a more local scale. Dynamo International-Street Workers Network can also be a key player in giving a voice to street children and in raising public awareness and information.
A certain "disconnection" with the reality of the field
I have indeed noted a certain "disconnection" with the reality on the field and a logic centered strongly on street children in emergency situation. It also seemed to me that this meeting was mainly aimed at large organizations and NGOs that have a more theoretical approach to street work.
Street workers must be consulted and speak out
Professionals who accompany and follow these children on a daily basis must be represented, consulted and heard at the highest level. For this reason, I wanted to speak out. I wanted to highlight the importance of our contributions. Members of Dynamo International-Street Workers Network need to put take part and provide their specific expertise into these discussions.
The "voluntary" application of the General Observation by the States
From my point of view, the text of the General Comment reflects a certain knowledge of the realities on the field. Its content is relevant. But according to some NGO representatives, the non-binding nature of the General Comment leaves States with too much flexibility in its implementation.
The highlights of the meeting
- The intervention of the Uruguayan representative because it made it possible to explain concretely the actions put in place on the field and recalled the interest of a long-term holistic approach. The holistic approach of the General Comment, the notions of "empowerment" and dignity were also stressed by the majority of speakers at the conference
- The testimony of Mr. Dedho Luamba, former street child, on his experience of the street and the work undertaken with the organisation Apprentis d'Auteuil : "It It's important to take a look at the street, you who are not there".
International meeting in Sao Paulo on 27 and 28 November 2017
On 27 and 28 November, at the initiative of the American Bar Association, an international meeting on this theme was organized in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Three members of Dynamo International-Street Workers network participated as leader: Maria Ximena Rojas Landivar (Bolivia), Verónica Müller, Associação de Educadores Sociales de Maringá (Brazil), Luis Enrique Hernández, El Caracol (Mexico).
Also on our website:
- "UN: Victory of international mobilization for young people and children in street situations"
- "Recognition of the critical role played by street social workers at UN level"
- Advocacy: How to follow up the UN text on children in street situations?

Alright people. Here's a shot at reclaiming any notion of 'democracy'. The "Fed" devalues our currency and helped create the housing meltdown that has lead to all of this. They can also be thanked for the Great Depression, and so on. Dig thru my "Federal Reserve" posts and do some web searches if any of this is news to you. The Fed is a privately owned bank, and they are in the process of claiming literally 80% ownership of AIG for a $85 billion loan, for one tiny example.
Until this privately owned tyrannical institution is brought down, the idea that these presidential 'elections' and the elected government at large is even remotely legitimate, and that electing a candidate who doesn't speak out against it will bring any REAL change is laughable at best. It all begins here.
Lite up the phone lines of your states elected officials at Capital Hill and tell them enough is enough. You can count on feeling satisfaction from that.
Constitutional Conservative Ron Paul has introduced H.R. 2755, the "Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act", which will repeal the Federal Reserve Act and abolish the US Federal Reserve at the end of 1 year after its passing into law.
The 1 year time frame will be a "winding down" period, overseen by the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, who will continue to pay employees and operate day-to day dealings.
The OMB Director will begin liquidating the Fed's assets, which will put into the General Fund of the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget will report back to Congress at the end of 18 months.
The Texas Congressman has been a long time critic of the US Federal Reserve, ran a grassroots campaign for the Republican Party nomination of President of the United States. Paul was derided by many within his own party for his stance on the Iraq War. Despite poor showings in polls, Rep. Paul used his presidential campaign as a bully pulpit for small government and a strict interpretation of the US Constitution, which has since found an increasing acceptance by conservatives, including political commentators Glenn Beck and Chuck Norris.

Clifton 2nd XI 156 (Purser 3-37, Grogan 2-49, Fawcett 2-13, Smethurst 2-28); Heywood 2nd XI 148-9: Heywood lost by eight runs
It was a case of same old, same old for Heywood Cricket Club seconds against Clifton on Saturday at Crimble.
Their top-order batting folded like a cheap concertina, and they were never really in with a shout of chasing down Clifton's target of 156 all out.
That they reached 148-9 was down to some positive batting from the late middle order, but it made it five defeats in a row for Roger Smethurst's men. It was made worse by an injury to veteran Rick Purser, who suffered serious knee ligament damage.
It was enough to leave Smethurst thoroughly down in the dumps.
He said: "It was disappointing again. The top five batted badly and got us behind the run rate.
"This put us behind the run rate and put the rest of the batting order under pressure.
"It's been the same story for weeks now."
Bowling first, the Heywood attack looked to have kept Clifton under wraps as they slumped to 94-7 thanks to impressive pre-injury bowling from Purser (3-37) and Mikey Grogan (2-49).
But a 40-run partnership for the eight wicket between Stephen Thorpe and Matthew Hay took Clifton to 133-8, and from there they eked out another 23 runs before being dismissed from the last ball of the 50th and final over. Dom Fawcett and Smethurst each picked up two wickets.
Heywood were in a desperate place with the bat. Simon Dawson, Tom Blundell, Phil Dawson, Wes Hunt and Mark Wright were all back in the shack with the score on 38-5 and 20 overs gone.
Once again, Chris Booth showed his potential, scoring 27 and sharing in a 42-run partnership with veteran Dave Hilton (27) that took Heywood to 80-6 and in with a slight chance.
Fawcett (26no) and Grogan (20) added to their contributions with the ball to enhance their growing all-round reputations, but it was not enough and Heywood finished on 148-9 for an eight-run defeat.

I think you're being a little harsh on your top order there. Although the deck was described by our skipper "as flat as they come" before the game, it turns out that was way off the mark, both myself and Rob didn't exactly give much to hit early doors in the Heywood innings, and I had a fantastic time turning over my little seamers on there!
Good banter, good teas, always a pleasure to play there, thanks to all!
We've had some difficult fixtures in our run in and we've lost the winning habit of late. We have a decent batting order with good depth (skip batting at 9!) but we have too many batsmen low on form and confidence at the moment. That was a score we fancied ourselves to chase down comfortably – the deck wasn't bad at all – but such is our current plight we even made Thorpey look good lol – no seriously Thorpey you and Rob are always a challenge for most sides – but we should have won even with Mike Holding bowling at us!
Alas sweet revenge after we beat Clifton for the first time ever at their place earlier in the season!
I did ask Roger why he was batting at 10, couldn't figure that one out myself?!

That also goes for clothing retailers that cater exclusively to teens and really young adults like "Forever 21". That does not necessarily mean you have to dress precisely like your mother or father. Nevertheless, if you are trying to find clothing to aid you to be taken seriously as a young adult, you have to accept that you have to dress the portion-at least at function.For women, the idea of wearing the very same dress with yet another pair of footwear and bag doesn't go more than so well. Alternatively, renting clothing can be a huge savings. Maureen Sullivan of Rent the Runway in New York mentioned that practically 1 million guests came to the clothes rental internet site final year hunting for an outfit for a wedding.Look for brands and stores that appeal to you.

She's torn between her reverence for a family recipe and her aversion to strong drink.
The holiday season presents a prickly moral dilemma for my mother. Her signature dessert is a meticulously faithful execution of Great-Aunt Margaret's Christmas fruitcake recipe, which must be soaked in peach brandy. But Mama's a Southern Baptist, so drinkin's a sin. Nary a drop of alcohol is ever allowed in her home (though she has been known to allow herself a sip of champagne punch in MY home, provided it was made from a Southern Living recipe and therefore sin-free).
Why not simply forego the brandy? Because Aunt Margaret decreed that the fruitcake must be soaked, and soaked it shall be. Even though this venerable family cook passed away many years ago, we dare not tinker with her time-honored dessert. Somehow, Aunt Margaret would know. And she would NOT be pleased.
At first, Mama had my cousin's husband purchase the spirits for her, insisting that he deliver them to her back door, just in case anyone from the church might drive by during the drop. But then her bag man up and moved down to the coast, leaving Mama without a supplier. For a while, Daddy had to pinch hit, but that was never an ideal solution—guilt by association and all that.
Finally, I remedied her situation by getting married. (I'm not saying I wed my beloved because Mama needed a brandy runner, but the marriage did work in her favor.) And y'all, this is some more recipe. My uncle swears (swunnies?) that he can get high off a single slice of brandy-soaked fruitcake. It's not that strong. But it's definitely soaked, so maybe you could get stewed if you have one (slice) too many.
Though the brandy delivery issue is resolved, yet another fruitcake controversy is brewing. Mama noticed a suspicious drop in the brandy level from one Christmas to the next and accused Daddy of sipping. His defense: "That's just normal evaporation."

You can rest assured that it's not "tweezer food" or anything with wheatgrass in the ingredient list. We'd be willing to bet sugar's involved. But that's just an educated guess.

The court of Appeal has issued out last warning to The Independent National Electoral Commission and the APC that they have till 16th April to file their responses to the election petition jointly filed by the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging President Buhari's victory.
Atiku and PDP had, on March 18, 2019 filed the petition before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, challenging the declaration of Buhari and APC as the winner of the presidential election.
According to the petitioners claim, contrary to INEC's declaration, the PDP's candidate was the valid winner of the 2019 presidential election. INEC, Buhari and APC are the first to the third respondents.
According to a source, Buhari, INEC and APC – none of the three had filed their responses to the petition regarding Atiku's action as meaningless.
Paragraph 10(2) of the Electoral Act, 2010 provides for a period of not more than 21 days within which a respondent must reply to an election petition from the date of being served with it.
The non-filing of a reply within time, simply means the respondent has no defence.
A legal practitioner, Mr Tunde Falola, said, "A respondent, who does not file his reply to the petition within time has no defence to the petition and he would be deemed to have accepted those allegations contained in the petition."

Watch Me on ANC Today!
I'M going to be interviewed on Manuel L. Quezon III's new TV program "The Explainer" today (Tuesday) on the war in Lebanon and the Filipinos trapped in war zone.
From what Manolo has told me, it's going to be a comprehensive show covering the history of Lebanon, Hezbollah, and the various interactions between these players and Israel, Iran and Syria.
It should be an interesting show. My segment is going to be for only eight minutes.
The show airs live on the ABS-CBN news channel ANC from 6-7 p.m. Manila time, or 1-2 p.m. Saudi time. Please tune in for what promises to be a very educational program.
(Full disclosure: Manolo writes a weekly column for my newspaper Arab News, and I am his editor.)

If you or someone in your life owns a nice sports car, or a vehicle with attractive – and expensive – alloy wheels, you're probably wary of the winter months and the beating they can put on those wheels, not to mention those mean nasty curbs and other obstacles that attack your wheels without provocation. Repairing these wheels is complicated and expensive, and chances they won't look quite the same afterwards.
Q: "Should I just hide my car away in the garage all winter", you ask?
A: No. Don't be silly.
Meet RimBlades. These provide an effective and affordable solution to protect and give added style to your alloy wheels. Easy to install and remove as desired, these adhesive bands are available in 10 different colours. You can choose an assortment of these for your car that match your car's body colour and add a contrasting touch to your tires, or else go black for an invisible look that blends in with the tires. The adhesives are of industrial grade and will, when installation instructions are properly followed, work impeccably.
The kits, costing $49 USD (plus $22.50 USD for shipping to Canada), include a band long enough to be installed on four wheels up to 22 inches in diameter.
Certainly there are other types of protection for alloy wheels available on the Web, for instance on eBay, but in our opinion RimBlades represent a quality product and a smart investment. Behind their nice design, the bands are a mix of plastic and rubber that effectively absorbs impacts and stretches to prevent scratching. What's more, the material is treated against UV rays, ensuring that the bands don't get discolored over time.
Treat yourself to a little self-gifting this Christmas or make that car lover in your life very happy with some RimBlades wheel protectors. Click on the link to visit the company's website.

A Tesco Finest Evening at Potters Bar
Delighted to accept an invitation to a Tesco Finest evening just before half term, I was really not sure what to expect. For a start it was in the evening. So after dropping Spike at Football practice on the way, I then swung the car onto the M25 and around to South Mimms, to the large Tesco at Potters Bar.
Normally these kind of events are during office hours where we journalists/bloggers drop in, sample the dishes, gather the information, take numerous photos, then head off back to work. This however was not the usual event.
Instead, we all gathered in the entrance of Tesco, waiting for something to happen. I soon learned that most attendees were loyal customers. Just a handful of us were bloggers and journalists aswell.
At the allotted time, we were all guided to the back office, past the warehouses and into a cosy room spread with the new Finest additions to the range. The only sound, an irritating bleep in the background, that continued throughout the entire presentations. Perhaps the security system or something...
Potters Bar, we discovered is one of the UK stores that trials new ideas, new layouts, new concepts. So following a brief introduction, we learned that Potters Bar was undergoing a major revamp in the coming weeks, that would possibly affect customers, but to avoid major disruption, would mainly be carried out in the early hours. Any feedback, good or bad, was welcomed, as this was a kind of blueprint store for the rest of the UK and customers were encouraged to seek out the head construction guy to tell him their issues. So Tesco, like all retailers, continues to evolve the ranges they stock, to keep in line with market demand and continued changing customer behaviour.
Keen to move on and talk food, next up was Helen from Marketing, who spoke with enthusiasm and passion about the stories behind each artisan producer, each expert that's been involved with creating the Tesco Finest range. I was surprised to learn that the range has existed for 15 years and now comprises some 1500 products!
In a recent supermarket shop, I had already noticed that some packaging has already changed as they roll out the revamped Finest branding and packaging. So after gathering our drinks, we all sat down again for the talks about the many new additions to the Tesco finest range. We sampled some of the cheeses including Stilton (not a favourite of mine I am afraid) but for the first time ever, I did try Quince Jelly which is so delicious on top of their Finest mature cheddar, on top of their Finest cheese crackers. We sampled the tasty sun-dried tomato bites and cheese straws, took meat from the meat platters and chunks of cheese, along with sipping on some new tea blends or new instant coffee they had on offer. This was then polished off with Carrot cake, red velvet cake or chocolate cake.
All of which could easily be popped in your lunch box to make it all that much more of a "finest" lunchbox!
We even smelt, snapped and savoured some chunks of their new Finest chocolate range.
So if you are wanting to treat yourself, do take a look at the Finest range in store. They are totally passionate about bringing tasty morcels to the masses and working with local producers and artisans to keep it local. It doesn't have to cost a fortune either!
You'll also find on most packaging, a black and white code, not the bar code, but something called a QR code. If you scan this into your phone, (an i-phone I believe works best), you can then click through to the website and read more behind the story of this particular product in your hand, or learn more about the range that's new to Tesco. There are lots of videos online on the Real Food section of
showing the dedication and passion behind this range of Tesco Finest.
So pop something in your basket the next time you shop at Tesco, and give it a try!
Now if
are keen to get involved and be one of those loyal customers that gets to hear the latest news on Tesco Finest and other additions to Tesco, and maybe sample the odd new flavour or two, do ask at your local store! You never know, it could be you next!
The Lunchbox Lady x
Disclosure: All thoughts, opinions are my own. I did receive a goodie bag for attending, along with all the other loyal Tesco customers.

15 Feb Slideshow: International Garden Photographer of the Year Winners
Source: DP Review
'Fireworks' by Jill Welham | IGPOTY
The winning photographs from the International Garden Photographer of the Year Competition 12 have been announced, with the top prize going to photographer Jill Welham of North Yorkshire, England for the above photograph titled 'Fireworks' that was submitted under the Abstract category.
Passionate about the cyanotype print process, 'Fireworks' showcases the details of three Allium heads created using a wet cyanotype process.
'This image of three Allium heads was created using a technique known as wet cyanotype. Two chemicals, ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide, are mixed together to create a photosensitive solution which is painted onto the surface of watercolour paper and left to dry,' says Welham in the image's description. 'This process needs to be conducted away from UV light, and once dry the paper must be kept in a light-proof bag until it is used.'
In addition to Welham's photograph, we've rounded up the remaining dozen winners from each of the remaining twelve categories. The winning photographs were narrowed down from more than 19,000 entries from over 50 countries.
The IGPOTY Competition 13 contest is already taking submissions. You can find out more information and submit your work on the IGPOTY website. […]

Clothes Swaps
Have a look below for some information on clothes swaps, including how they started and how to organise your own!
Why clothes swaps?
It's common knowledge that people in the UK have a serious obsession with shopping! In fact 50% of all the products we buy are clothes. On average, we throw away 30kg of unwanted items per person each year. Not only is this damaging to the environment but it's damaging to our pockets as well!
Instead of throwing all of these clothes away why not attend or even organise a clothes swap/swishing party?
What are they?
Clothes swaps/swishing parties involve the swapping of your unwanted clothes in exchange for other peoples. It's a great opportunity for you to get rid of all those clothes cluttering up your wardrobe whilst reinventing your style at the same time - they do say one persons trash is another persons treasure after all!
People are asked to bring at least one item of unwanted clothing with them, the value of the items do not matter, as long as they are in a decent wearable condition. They can then look at the other donated clothes and pick out items they like for free! The more people that attend, the more clothes are donated and therefore the more choice available.
It first began when Lucy Shea, founder of green PR firm Futerra and her work colleagues wanted to come up with a way to combine a love of retail shopping without contributing to increased consumption.
Click here to find out if there are any clothes swaps/swishing events near you. Alternatively why not organise your own?
Organising a clothes swap/swishing event doesn't have to be a lot of work, it can be as big or small as you want it to be.
How about inviting some friends over with some drinks and nibbles and swapping your clothes that way? You could also hold an event at your local coffee morning, community centre or even at a car boot sale.
If you're feeling adventurous why not organise a larger scale event whilst raising money for charity at the same time?
We've put together a Clothes Swap Event Kit that includes guidance and equipment, such as clothes rails and a poster template, for putting on your own swap. Just click on the links to the different downloads and get in touch with us to find out more and arrange getting hold of the kit.

July 10, 2017 – We practice tracking for a reason.
This afternoon, Curtiss was put to the test.
Patrick and I were doing yard work. He was watching Bryson. Or I was watching Bryson. Both of us were watching Bryson.
But then, he was gone.
Patrick rushed inside to search and I frantically scanned our yard and started to go up the street. Before I got too far, Patrick clipped Curtiss' leash to his collar. Not his harness, there was no time for that.
We didn't need a special harness though. Patrick spoke to Curtiss in a different tone. It was a tone that meant business. Not fun and games 'go find your boy'. No. This time it was different. It was with purpose and intent.
"Curtiss. Go find your boy."
He nailed it. Patrick's van. Windows rolled up. It was HOT. And Bryson was sitting inside. Just hanging out. I would have never thought to check there. I was already headed up the street when he was found.
If we didn't have Curtiss, who knows what would have happened. It was HOT today! And inside the vehicle was sweltering. As a firefighter/medic, Patrick nearly came apart…just picturing the kids he's rescued from hot cars…and the ones who weren't rescued.
It isn't about neglect. It isn't about parenting. It is about the mysteries of autism.
And THIS story is about the miracle of a dog, who knows his boy, who is trained to find his boy. And today, the miracle of a dog who saved his boy's life.

My first order of MFT stamps arrived today! Very exciting! So...I decided to create this card for the MFT Sketch Challenge (MFTSC60) that runs until tonight at midnight. My Wübē paper was still out and since I like the colours for the MFT's Who's That Girl Challenge (MFTWTG14) so much, part of my work was already done. I added green to the blue, brown and white combination.
Where's the velvet?--I stamped the image on green patterned paper and white card stock, cut out the sofa and skirt pieces, then added white flock to the skirt for texture. The rest of my E-Girl is coloured in copics. I used my Fiskars scalloped edge punch and found that the holes were perfect for these matte finish brads that tie in with the white skirt and sentiment panel. I haven't used my slit punch for awhile, so I thought it was time--it was always a favourite. I ran the soft sky panel through my cuttlebug 'circles and spots' (not sure what the name is) embossing folder. The rest is all layers of blue bayou, chocolate chip and the Bohemia lime green paper from MME.
Stamps: Who's That E-Girl?, My Favorite Things
Ink: Adirondack dye ink in espresso; SU close to cocoa classic ink
Paper: Gina K 120lb Pure Luxury cardstock; SU chocolate chip, close to cocoa, soft sky, and blue bayou (flat and textured) cardstock; Rhythm n Blues Waves, Wübē; Bohemia Backyard "Just Be You" Stripe/Lime, mme
Other: lily white flock, crushed velvet; nestabilities circles/scallops; SU slit punch; Fiskars scalloped edge punch; SU kiwi kiss satin ribbon; sponge; circles and dots cuttlebug embossing folder; matte finish brads, Lasting Impressions; pop dots; copics: E01, W3, Colorless blender filled with B00 ink, W7, E29

Please excuse the current emptiness. I will unpack and decorate as I re-learn the little html code I used to know and have forgotten plus quite a bit more.
As my profile and description will probably soon say, I'm Sara and this is my blog. It shall be dedicated to stitching, life, and whatever else wanders through my mind. For those that don't know, I'm a 26 year old cross stitch addict. I love Teresa Wentzler, Dragon Dreams, Mirabilia, hand-dyed fabric, and specialty fibers. I work as a pharmacist to fund my habit and pay the bills. When I'm not stitching or counting pills I love to read, cook, see movies, and work in the new home that my dear husband and I have recently purchased.
I'll unpack a few more boxes later as my eyes are starting to cross from all the html help sites and rewriting this post since the first one got eaten. Valuable lesson learned-save posts somewhere else before publishing.

It can be a difficult process of self-realization to learn that you are not the gender you were told you were from birth. I have no doubt that there are countless transgender people in this world who will never decide to transition or even acknowledge that it's something they need to deal with outside of their deepest thoughts and feelings.
Think about it: You're told from the moment you're born that you're unquestionably this gender, and it becomes one of the basic building blocks of your life and society as a whole. Some people are men, some people are women. They didn't choose to be that way, but they are. And the answer when trans children inevitably ask "why" is biological.
It's biology that separates us, not some horribly unnecessary algorithm we made up one day. And so we go along with this, believing that the constructs are all there for our own good. We have the luxury of never needing to ask what someone goes by or knowing how we need to treat the person because it's right there in their presentation like a name tag.
It's great, right?
As you might imagine by the analytical tone here, no, it is not.
For those who don't feel comfortable with the gender identity that they were given to carry their entire lives with all of its implications, it's like holding a vat of acid and told not to spill it. We don't want to carry that around, but We're expected to keep it balanced wherever we go, since a spill would certainly hurt us and those around us. At least, that's how I perceived it while growing up until it finally shattered.
Lo and behold, the "acid" was estrogen all along!
And as much as people love saying how it's important to "go against the grain" and "don't worry what everyone else thinks," that's not always so simple. We're social creatures. We're afraid of losing our social lives, and transitioning from one perceived gender to another is one of the most socially unacceptable practices we learn of while growing up.
It's seen as a joke, so when we're growing up and thinking about it more and more, many of us see transition from male to female as one of many examples we've seen in the media as men dressing up as women for laughs. But at least that gets some sort of exposure. Transition from female to male is barely represented, and non-binary folks have next to nothing.
Most transgender kids aren't the courageous ones defying social norms at a young age. That's not to say they're any less brave, but most of us tell ourselves we simply can't be transgender, even making excuses as to why.
"Every guy wants to secretly be a girl" is something so many trans women say to themselves, myself included, even though it sounds ridiculous to others. "Of course nobody would admit to it, but who wouldn't want to be female?" It seems like this unattainable dream for men, but none of them are going to say it because they need to come off as masculine in order to appease other men in this strange global phenomenon straight out of "The Emperor's New Clothes."
When we realize that this isn't the case and that men don't feel this way, it can be enlightening or lonely. Coming to terms with it is one of the hardest steps, and Many can suppress those feelings for a seriously impressive amount of our lives before it becomes unbearable – or more unbearable than it already has been.
While that may be one of the biggest hurdles we face, what comes after is often times just as hard. Coming out to family, friends and anyone is an effort in genuine horror. There's no promise that the other person will understand it or accept it. Much less, for them not have any kind of preconceived notions about it. Transgender people as a political topic is good for exposure, but it also gives certain groups of like-minded people the ability to spread misinformation.
And let's say that everything up until now has been done and over with. You've embraced that this is who you are, you've come out to at least one other person close to you, and now you're ready to do what it takes.
Well... How, exactly?
Resources for transgender people aren't common knowledge, after all. It can sometimes be difficult even to find a therapist who knows anything about it, much less about hormone replacement therapy – for the record, typically be an endocrinologist. And even then, there are plenty of professionals out there who won't give you what you need for a number of reasons, so finding the right one is key to starting right away.
And what about clothing? Or tucking? Or binding? Or voice training?
There's a reason why it's considered brave to transition, and overcoming all of these obstacles is only the beginning. It's a long, arduous journey for most, and it's no wonder why so many people never come to terms with it even though the effort is more than worth fighting for; it's overwhelming.
And yet, despite how difficult it is to even take the very first step, so many have gone through with it. They've realized that everything that comes after that step is easy in comparison and that once things get going, it feels as if looking back is almost inconceivable. While a select few of these people took action when they were young, most are too afraid or simply too content with their place in the world to do so until they're older and it can no longer be ignored.
But there's always that one thing that drives us, even through the thickest mud our journeys can make us trudge through, and that's what lies on the other side: Freedom. That feeling of being true to yourself and true to the world. Nothing can compare.

Haha, it is quite short. There are fewer than 15 bosses, in 9 "dungeons" which stretch together to feel like 5, spread across 5 chapters. I filled out the map in each place, which caused me to level to the point that grinding wasn't needed.

Rich the Kid continued his war of words with Lil Uzi Vert during a recent live show. The feud began earlier this year and doesn't have an end in sight. The beef has made its way from social media to music and now live shows. The 25-year-old left nothing to the imagination while reinforcing his negative stance against the Philly artist.
"Fuck that n---a Uzi, man," he said during the concert. "Fuck that n---a Uzi. We big boss shit," he tells the crowd as his "Plug Walk" instrumental booms through the venue's speakers. RTK held an album release party for his The World Is Yours debut on Thursday.
Rich first brought the beef into the booth when he dedicated his "Dead Friends" as a lyrical assault toward the 23-year-old. "All them dead friends (dead)/ You a middleman, you a little man/ Your money gettin' shorter," he rhymes.

A little bit about my journey… I grew up completely convinced that no one liked me. To protect myself, I found things to dislike about you so that when it came out that you didn't like me, it didn't matter, cause I didn't like you anyway. It was the only way I knew how to survive and wow was it exhausting, painful, terrifying, and lonely.
I learned of Byron Katie and her Work in 2008. I remember it clearly. I was a sales rep at the time, driving down the highway, and my mom starts telling me about The Work and Is It True? I thought it was so flippant. Is it true, yah, it's true, what do you mean is it true? But I couldn't get it out of my head. A few months later I found myself watching videos of Katie facilitating her Work and my whole world began to unravel. I saw that I was the cause of all my suffering. I was both terrified and excited at the same time. That day I began reading Loving What Is and two weeks later I was at my first School for The Work.
Years later The Work continues to be the most effective method for bringing me back home. For peace. For love. For self-realization. It's been a humbling journey that continues to open my mind and heart every day.
I am honored and grateful to be able to share this Work. Offerings include private sessions, Introductions, four-week series, workshops, and corporate programs.

Filmmaking is a rough business where even the most efficient filmmakers can lose their dream project due to things like weak funding, disinterested buyers, or even bad weather. It is rough but as Jodorowsky's Dune shows is that failing to finish a project is never a complete loss. Jodorowsky's Dune is a documentary about director Alejandro Jodorowsky's 3-year attempt to adapt Frank Herbert's Dune only for no American studio to actually pay any interest in it. But the documentary surprisingly not about regret as it examines the people of the Dune crew created some of their best art based on their experience working on it and how that inspiration swelled over the decades.
The true subject and star of Jodorowsky's Dune is arguably Jodorowsky himself. Alejandro Jodorowsky is less an avant-garde filmmaker than he is a cosmic wizard that wants to reveal the pain and beauty of the universe but humans fail to understand his space lingo. This is a man who is not just inspired by LSD; he is the kind of guy who will slip it into his special effects supervisor and say, "make that." His methods are insane but what the film reveals is that he produces brilliant results. When creating the film Dune he completed the pre-production phase with a script, storyboard, as well as a cast and crew including H.R Giger, Dan O'Bannon, Pink Floyd, Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali, Mœbius and even Orson Welles. Jodorowsky's insider tales alone makes this film a wonderful experience because he bursts with the type of extroverted charisma that anyone, let alone artists, would yearn to have.
Ultimately, Jodorowsky's version of Dune never went past the pitch meetings but the experience that this collective had was clearly cherished. For example Dan O'Bannon went on to write Alien and H.R Giger became the art director for it, both of them drew inspiration from their work on Dune. Jodorowsky's Dune could have simply been a stark reminder of the fickle business that is filmmaking but it subverts that idea to become a loving homage to struggling artists. One of the most painful thoughts in life to believe everything that one creates or does is useless. But Jodorowsky's Dune is a film that argues that even the broken pieces of the worst kinds of disasters are still salvageable and who does not love that?
(Jodorowsky's Dune is available on Blu-ray/DVD. Also, if anyone knows if Jodorowsky had ever published a Dune concept art or story-board book, could you send me a link? That would be awesome.)

My blessings.
Those of you who are close to me are keen to the events of the past few days, and I thank you so much for your being there. It has meant the world to me to know I have a support system outside of my family that stays with me despite my being thousands of miles away. Thank you for your phone calls, your text messages, your simply being there. Thank you for your letters, your cards, your hugs, your flowers, for seeing me off at the airport when I thought I was going to have to go back alone to D.C. with grief lingering on my mind. Thank you for staying up late with me to listen to my stories. Thank you for singing to me. Thank you for reminding me to smile. Thank you for sitting with me at work. Thank you for understanding that sometimes silence is best, that no words are needed. Thank you for everything.
He was there, and then he wasn't. He passed on Tuesday morning. July 7, 2009 at 8:15AM.
He was there for my first breath. I was there for his last. He went in a room full of his children and grandchildren. After having a life dedicated to his family, I don't think he would have preferred it any other way. I miss him very much, but he will stay with me for much time to come. With his courage, he taught us to smile in the face of adversity and to overcome it with the knowledge that death is a natural part of life. That people come and go, but it is love that continues on long after we pass.
This time has reminded me how much I love my family. I have been very fortunate to be raised with so much love and emotional support in all that I do. Without my family, I couldn't be where I am today. When all else fails, I know I still have something good to come back to.
Also, having my grandfather in my life and observing his relationship with my grandmother through the years has shown me that true love exists and that it is possible to find. At the end of the day, I couldn't ask for more.
