I can't find a picture of the new helmet but I'm looking at it right now on the NFL Network and I don't like it. It is blue and solid and the horseshoes aren't on the side - they are on the lower back. I hate it. Not that I'm a colts fan even but still - I liked the old helmet. I want the old helmet back. How about you?
Blue helmet is part of throwbacks from '55 season...They're being worn in a preseason game against San Fran for fun... I kinda like the solid blue
Thowback? I guess I considered that but they look modern to me. I don't mind the throwback stuff either. I guess this kills my forum question then!
You can see the uniform here

Thanks. I perhaps should've just researched a bit more on this one before posting!
Can I change it to... how do you feel about "throwback uniforms"?
I like the throwbacks for a game or two. I don't like too many helmet changes though. The exception was the Buffalo Bills when they went from the red buffalo from OJ's time to the newer buffalo with the red streak coming off its shoulder.
I like all the throwback uniforms... It makes it more pleasing to my eyes lol... My favorite is the buccaneer one
Most of them are crap.
As long as there is a hint of horse on it, I like it,
You cared enough to say you didn't care so there is some care there I'd say!!! Maybe? You could've just been bored I suppose.
Bored. Yes. Plus, I didn't want your thread to die with no responses.
A better question would be: What's up with Painter?
talk about bad throw back uniforms
these guys look like creamsicles!
What.. you got a problem with creamsicles. Stop being such a jellysickle...if you don't know what that means look it up
who are you. . and better yet who asked you to tell ME anything.
Go take your jelly and sickle it back to from where you came.
A few years ago, when the Colts played the Lions on Thanksgiving Day, they wore a similiar throwback uniform with the white helmets and the horseshoe on the back of the helmet. In fact, Peyton Manning had a great game in defeating the Lions that Thanksgiving.
I do like these Eagles throwbacks.

text: Protesters hold a banner that reads: 'We want our land back' [Lisa Fuller/Al Jazeera] Mullaitivu, Sri Lanka - On Saturday, dozens of members of Sri Lanka's Tamil minority marched towards a sprawling Keppapulavu army camp in the country's northern Mullaitivu district, determined to breach its perimeter and reclaim their homes. Keppapulavu's residents fled their houses in 2008 during the bloody last phase of Sri Lanka's 26-year civil war, which was fought between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a separatist group that sought an independent homeland for the minority Tamil population in the Buddhist-majority South Asian nation. The military occupied over 202 hectares of Tamil-owned residential land in Keppapulavu, subsuming the former residents' homes in expansive camps. "I'm willing to die for the chance to go home," said Shanthi (name changed on request), a 52-year-old single mother of three, tears streaming down her face. When the war ended in 2009, Keppapulavu's former residents were moved to Manik Farm, a military-run displacement camp plagued by widespread human rights violations, according to a 2015 United Nations report. Manik Farm was closed in 2012, and the 560 former Keppapulavu residents remaining in the camp were resettled on small plots of the undeveloped jungle in Sooripuram, a village that borders Keppapulavu. Shanthi says that before 2008, she would earn an ample income by selling the mangos and coconuts that grew on her two hectares of land, which now lie within the premises of the army camp. But displacement left her family impoverished. "My children had to stop going to school so that they could work. It was the only way to survive," she said. Community members occupy the space just outside the gate [Lisa Fuller/Al Jazeera] The campaign to return home Shanthi is one of dozens of Keppapulavu's former residents who have spent years campaigning to get their homes back. In December 2017, the army released 53 hectares of land in partial success of their efforts to reclaim their own land. However, the army's 59th division continues to occupy about 141 hectares of the land belonging to 104 families in Keppapulavu. Those families are among an estimated 40,000 people - mostly Tamils - who remain displaced a decade after the end of the war. Tamils, who are mostly Hindus, form about 15 percent of Sri Lanka's 22 million population. Although the government claims that the military has released 90 percent of occupied land in the Tamil-majority north, a Human Rights Watch report last year said that this figure was impossible to verify as there was "no publicly available accurate and comprehensive mapping of land occupation". A study by the Adayaalam Centre for Policy Research, a think-tank based in the northern city of Jaffna, estimated that the military continued to occupy 12,140 hectares of land in Mullaitivu district alone based on available data. In October last year, President Maithripala Sirisena ordered the military to release all remaining military-occupied civilian land in north and east Sri Lanka by the end of 2018. But nearly a month after Sirisena's deadline passed, army spokesman Brigadier Sumith Atapattu told Al Jazeera the military had no intention of relinquishing the remaining Keppapulavu land. "We released everything we could. The balance we must retain for security purposes," he said. According to Rehab Mahamoor, an Amnesty International researcher, the military's occupation of Keppapulavu is likely illegal. "There is a legal process to acquire land for public purposes in Sri Lanka. If this process has not been followed, the military's occupation is not legal … In Keppapulavu, this appears to be the case," he told Al Jazeera. Community defiant Last week, the community declared that they would reclaim their homes in defiance of the army. They were hoping to replicate the success of another displaced Tamil community that in April successfully retook their navy-occupied home in Iranaitheevu, a small island off the northwest coast of Sri Lanka. On Saturday, police prevented the protesters, who tried to push through the barricaded gate, shouting at the officers to allow them to enter. "We are here to enforce a court order, which prohibits protesters from blocking the road," senior police officer Halp Hettiariachchi told Al Jazeera. Refusing to give up, the protesters have set up a tent across the street lined with coconut trees, and insist they would not leave until they reclaimed their land. They are on a 24-hour sit-in down the road from the gate. "We won't leave this spot until they let us in," Shanthi said, peering through the camp fence at her land, which lies just metres from where she sits on the side of the road, still waiting to return home.

Foodservice equipment supplier Maestrowave has turned its hand to a bit of filmmaking to highlight how one of the flagship products it offers can benefit operators.
Working with its exclusive distributor RH Hall, the brand has produced its first ever combination microwave oven video, focusing on the range of benefits that the new Combi Chef 7 can offer.
The five-minute video sees Chris O'Neill and Janet Caveney from RH Hall's Food Solutions team demonstrate the wide range of food that can be prepared and talk through the features of the machine in more detail.
"This versatile machine is capable of cooking a huge variety of foods and includes many innovative features, such as Menu Creator software, which can store up to 99 menu options," said Kris Brearley, sales director at RH Hall.
Maestrowave hopes the video provides a great tool for end-users when deciding which machine best suits their needs, and also for distributors to help recommend and support a sale.

For more information, call Hope House at 608-356-9123.
We were excited to be involved with J1 orientation again this summer in Wisconsin Dells so that these young adults know about local resources, including Hope House as a resource to provide free and confidential support to anyone in the area experiencing domestic or dating abuse, sexual assault, or sex trafficking.
Thank you to Central Wisconsin Community Action Coalition for having us at your Big Picture event on June 18. Carrie Poser with the Balance of State was an excellent speaker on coming together to provide a more comprehensive system for our area homeless individuals and families.
Agencies work to prevent, de-escalate domestic violence in region: "'I think that continuing outreach and awareness, including education in the schools, has helped more people know of Hope House services,' Kaehny said. 'Our staff also work closely with area law enforcement, health care providers, human services, schools, and churches to build better partnerships in order to get people connected to services'"…Read more
Support for Elder Abuse Available: "World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15. Elder abuse is something many people aren't aware of or don't want to think about.

Father Figures Have Important Role to Play: "Fathers play a vital role in influencing not only their child's physical development and well-being, but also their emotional well-being. How their fathers treat others and express themselves informs children's sense of self and their view of the world around them"...Read more
Most needed items include:
Hope House also accepts used cell phones, smartphones, iPods, and iPads as we send them to a recycling center to later be used as 911 cell phones and receive a cash donation.

Human trafficking is all over Wisconsin, but subtle. You might have seen victims and never known.: "'They basically make the victims go down the rabbit hole with them,' he said, 'so that the victims themselves are either so reliant on their trafficker that they don't want to give the person up, or they feel that they're just equally in as much trouble'"…Read more
A West Point cadet was sentenced to 21 years in prison for raping a sleeping classmate. Now, he's free to return to school.: "'Even now, when they do come forward, the odds of them getting a conviction are astronomically slim,' he told CBS News. 'You know, there were only 108 convictions last year in the military out of 7,000 reports, and so the numbers are against them. And then, when they actually do get a conviction, to have it overturned on such flimsy logic is just going to dissuade people from doing it. It's time for Congress to act on this; to be bold. They have been too slow to do anything really aggressive when it comes to sex assault in the military'"…Read more
US Catholic Church Reports Big Rise in Sex-Abuse Allegations: "'Victims are coming forward now because of real progress by secular authorities,' said the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. 'Lawmakers are increasingly getting rid of archaic, predator-friendly laws and 16 attorneys general have launched investigations, so many victims are feeling hopeful.' The advocacy group urged officials in every diocese to turn over sex abuse records to their state attorney general for investigation. The group also said church staff should be instructed to report suspected abuse to secular law enforcement before filing a report internally"...Read more
Survivors Of Sexual Abuse By Nuns Want Greater Visibility For Their Accusations: "That's in part because church leadership has historically treated misconduct by diocesan priests as separate from accusations against members of religious orders, both male and female.

The Justice Department Wants To Address Mass Shootings By Putting More Domestic Abusers Behind Bars: "The Justice Department on Tuesday announced a new push to boost federal gun prosecutions for domestic abusers, highlighting it as part of an effort to address mass shootings.

We Prosecute Murder Without the Victim's Help. Why Not Domestic Violence?: "It had previously been a challenge to get prosecutors to even accept the idea of pursuing cases without victim cooperation, even when the victim's testimony was admissible. Today, 'what I've seen in prosecutors' units is domestic violence fatigue,' Ms. Gardner said. Crawford doesn't make prosecution impossible, but it makes things 'complicated, too nuanced,' she added. 'We're kind of going backward.' Perpetrators, she said, 'are not being prosecuted as often as they could and should be'"…Read more
Teenage Girls and Dating Violence: Why We Should Be Paying Attention: "Include psychological abuse, and these numbers rise significantly.

Welcome to the Kells Transport Museum Message Board. We welcome messages from everyone relating to the museum and its buses but anything to do with insults or personalities is banned. You must put your e-mail on any message you post or else it will be deleted. This is stricty enforced. No password is required. Your message is welcome.
how ridiculous, spending thousands expanding a site packed with worthless scrap buses.
Some museum this is, not a single restored operational bus and squandering all it's money on stockpiling wrecks
Your giving preservation a bad name.
It's terribly easy to criticise isn't it. All that it requires is sitting on your **** and typing out a few lines of text.
Seeing as you disapprive of what KTM are doing why don't you tell us what YOU have achieved in bus preservation so we can all follow your great example. Or is it that YOU have done NOTHING but think you have the right to tell others what to do with their time, money and rersources?
If KTM hadn't taken in those buses would you have bought and restored them or would they have been scrapped for razor blades never to be seen again?
I have to agree with D.R. on this one. It is very easy to sit on ones **** and criticize. From the web updates there is a lot of progress being made at the moment, and best of luck with the KTM.
I too have to agree with D.R. and Peter, and I have to wonder as to who has the right to complain about how KTM spend their money, if that person has not given any money to KTM in the first instance.
It is only in this country that preservation can cause such ill feeling between people and groups, anywhere else where I have been involved, I have seen a sharing community of like minded individuals, who will come together, to help each other, but not here.
If Michael wants to spend his last pennies on a fence (or anything else for that matter), that is his choice. He has not asked me, or anyone else that I am aware of, for money or membership fees, and therefore is not answerable to me.
I wonder what alan has preserved, or is it just too easy to knock THE EFFORTS OF OTHERS. I have not always agreeed with what KTM have done in the past, or how it is reported, how some buses are treated, but at least they are still there in some form, and with the accumulation of parts, may in the future, be restored fully. After all if they were scrapped, there would be no chance at all.
Perhaps the people who constantly knock KTM should organise a working group and visit the site one weekend and give some help, then and only then should their opinions be listened too.
Michael has done a lot to save those buses, buses that simply would not be around today if it had not been for Michael's vision.
If all those people, instead of sitting around on their backsides all weekend and abusing Michael on the message board, got up and got down to the Museum to help out on working on the buses, or to work on a bus in particlar, then Michael would not have as many buses lying around 'Rotting' away as you all put it.
You all go on about not a single bus restored and fit for the road, well without going into too much, Michael is on the case here and has plans which will see certain buses kept in excellent & running condition, as believe it or not, there is people out there wanting to work on certain buses to see a piece of Irish Heritage saved. But i guess all the bad mouthers of the KTM could not possibly know this because, instead of being involved with the museum, they just critisize it without knowing what is going on behind the scenes.
As for too many buses, well in years to come when parts are hard to come by for a particlar type, where are they going to come from.??? Well, you could spend over the odds to get a certain part re-manufacturered, or you could collect the spares now for later when they will be needed, and boy........... has Michael got a lot of spares available for later when they will be needed.
If you are not prepared to help in any way, even if it is only to come down with a brush and sweep out a bus or two for an hour, then kindly stop critsizing.
I apresiate all your comments but my point remains,
why channel all the energy into gathering up wrecks and storing them in a field, when the time comes to restore them they will beyond repair
you dont need 14 KC buses you need only 1.
you dont need any National's they are not Irish buses
why are you colecting stuff from scotland that other people are already restoring over there.
This "museum" is becoming a dumping ground for other preservationists unwanted projects and crappy coaches that operators cant give away to anybody else.
look at all the uk museums you cant save everything
consentrate on a few unique vehicle's as they are ireplacable get rid of all the rubbish and spend the money on good undercover storage
also get rid of duplicate buses that other peopel have already preserved or restored
or else everything will have to be scrapped because they will rust beyond saving
P.S. i do have my own bus which I bought straight from service and I pay for it to be stored in a dry place and i am curently replacing the body panels myself.
i no the work that is need to preseve a bus. Mr grimes dosent have to collection jsut irish buses, the natationals arent irish so what. I think that it is good to see so may preserved, yes they may not be in rally going condition, there still preserved. and you no that they still be there
on your point about the 14 KCs well it would be better to see more in preservation that to be cut up.
it looks like there is alot off effort goes into the measuem.
but again. would you rather see more presevreed buses or scrapped ones. some of the buses at kells may look like a wreack but sometimes it is just a case of a bit of love and care and they'll look good as new.
and on your point about the buses from scotland. they dont have to stay in scotland to be preservaed, look at ulsterbus and citybus 4 or 5 Bristol REs went over to england. i dont see the point in critising the attempts made here. some of the buses are very rare and hard to get hold off
I really get annoyed when I read postings like this...
Alan, if you dont like what KTM or Grimes is doing, then why are you even visiting this site??? I would also be interested in seeing what work Alan has done, and indeed what bus he owns... because talk is cheap, pictures speak for themselves.
Everyone has their way of doing things, be it the right way or the wrong way, you wont please everyone. And whilst I have been highly critical and questionable of some of the KTM's actions and purchases in the past, at the end of the day it really is no one else's business but their own.
I can see the KTM's point as to why they are preserving so many vehicles - the bottom line is that it doesnt matter if they stay the way they are for the next 20 years, the fact of the matter is that they are at least preserved, so that in 15 or 20 years time someone will at least have a chance at preserving a KC or a CVH if they want to. If this happenned 30 years ago with the R's...?? it doesn't even bear thinking about! It doesnt matter how many there are preserved or what state they're in, what matters is that they are survivors and are there for the future.
However, the question DOES have to be asked... at what point does a yard of preserved buses that are in sound mechanical and body condition become a scrapyard full of hulks with no engines, windows, seats or even wheels in some cases! Whilst you do need 'donor' vehicles you have to draw the line somewhere... if you have 14 KC's why do you need 3 or 4 hulks... will 14 KC's EVER be restored??
I tend to agree with Alan's point that the amount of Leyland Nationals preserved by KTM is excessive, but as I am not a particular fan of these buses then I am bound to be a bit biased. But still, they all have their part in telling the story and have as much signifigance and importance as an Irish vehicle. As said with the KC's, they are preserved and are there for whoever wants to take them on as a restoration.
And might I add that as a private preservationist myself (totally independent of any museum) who has spent the last 18 months working on various projects I would not tolerate ANY outsider telling me what I should or shouldn't do with my collection, especially when they have neither helped with the restoration or even put any money towards it.
So in short, if you dont like what someones doing, tough luck. Deal with it. As for KTM if you dont like them, ignore them! Unless you are directly affected by their actions or are directly involved with their organisation (which for the record I am not either directly, or indirectly) then you have no right to criticise anyone, no matter who they are.
So Alan, lets see YOUR restoration project, because I am very interested in seeing it and I am sure everyone else is as well. I have KC48 restored as best I can to its Dublin Bus livery... and I am currently working on two others, so lets see yours!

Jeff, the attitude Koala, was a massive hit with everyone yesterday.
I visited where I left him yesterday and, good news, he's moved on to a less suicidal tree as he was nowhere to be seen on the tree I left him. Even more happily, there was no evidence of koala pâté on the road. This makes me happy.
In honour, Inappropriate Saturday will take a miss this week to allow more pics of Jeff. Not used yesterday as they are slightly blurry (So no grief from you KB. You do better with an iPhone that is playing Glee.)

I have been dreaming about doing a laneway family shoot for ages so when Lilibeth suggested city laneway location I was so excited. And as soon as I met the family I knew the location was perfect for them. I managed to find nice and narrow laneway with minimum trough traffic and would love to shoot here again any day. The images really speak for themselves .. I struggled to choose only a handful of images for this blog post as there were so many amazing shots.

I really like the off road teardrops but the price not so much.You can get a brand new 4 x 8 cargo trailers around here
for about $1300.My plan is to have one custom made that is 4 x 10 and build the inside in the same fashion as the teardrops layout.
Hopefully I can get this going in the next year.

^^ I've looked into that a bit. There are companies out there now making upgrades for box trailers. You can get windows, slides, beds, all sorts of stuff.
Upgraded box trailers are fairly common with the motorcycle (street bike) track crowd.
Jeep parts and accessories purchased through the following link will help support this forum and at no cost to you.
It's not much. Built for under $500. We tent camp. Planning on upping the springs a bit and taller tires this winter. The pic is of it loaded.
heres one I like quite a bit as well but the cost is absurd and the wait for it is a few months but overall this thing is one I would like ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWHZqhfLTTs

This is how you know it has been a long and cold night....
The air is filled with black smoke.
It's nights like this one, that anything and everything is burned in an effort to save the peaches.
The Farmer was in the orchards the night of the terrible freeze, last week.
He said that once he realized that nothing more could be done to save the crop...he
began to take pictures. He got some great shots!

Forgive me my wrong ways of being.
That was my grandmother's prayer for years. It puzzled me when I was younger. What did she mean?
As I grow older in my faltering, stumbling walk with Jesus, I understand my grandmother's prayer. Forgive me. Forgive me for being so wrong at my very core. Forgive me my wrong ways of being.

Every parent wants their child's birthday to be special but the cost of throwing a party can really add up, especially if you have multiple children. Is it really possible to cut party costs without losing the fun and excitement that parents and kids alike have come to love? One way to cut down on costs is by purchasing birthday supplies that can be reused or repurposed year after year.
The easiest way to start saving on party decor is to stock up on items when they are on sale or clearance. Choose items that are not theme specific and select a variety of colors that are gender neutral. Basic birthday signs, party lanterns, and photo backdrops can be reused again and again. You can even make your own decor out of stronger materials like cardstock or cardboard or hit up the dollar store for streamers and signs that can be used repeatedly. As you collect a stash of items, store it someplace that is organized and easily accessible when the next birthday arrives.
When purchasing items for the special day, it may be wise to spend a little extra money on birthday items that you know can be used many times over several years. Purchase games that can be used every year like bingo, bean bag toss, or yard games such as badmitten. These games are fun for any party and will see a return on your investment quickly. Chalkboards for birthday signs, cake stands, and punch bowls can also be purchased once and used for many parties.
You can also buy dress up items that can be used for a photo booth year after year such as hats, silly glasses, feather boas, or masks. Kids of any age will have a great time posing in different costumes. Many of these items can be purchased at a dollar store, garage sales, or may be laying around your house. Choose a basic birthday backdrop for your photo booth or use a plain sheet or tablecloth to keep things simple and affordable for your photo backdrop. There are also fun apps that allow you to put in different backdrops if you use a green background. Photos taken in the photo booth can double as thank you cards for your guests.
Money can be saved on tableware in a few different ways. Cloth tablecloths and plastic plates can be washed and used again. They will last for years with a one time investment. If the thought of extra cleanup doesn't appeal to you, try buying a giant roll of white butcher paper and unrolling on the table to be used as a tablecloth. Allow kids to color right on the tablecloth during the party. When the party is over, simply roll up the paper and toss it. One roll of paper will last for years and because of neutral color it can be used for many holidays and birthdays.

New Downtown Meters Charge Full Two Hours On Credit Cards
COLUMBIA - New parking meters on Ninth Street in downtown Columbia offer multiple ways to pay for parking. But depending on the payment method drivers use, the amount they shell out could differ.
The city of Columbia installed 40 new parking meters this week on Ninth Street between Locust Street and University Avenue. These machines are the second type of parking meter the city is testing that allows drivers to pay the meter with either coins, credit cards or cell phones.
The meters are located directly adjectent to the parking spots along the street and are different from the two multi-space systems the city installed on Ninth street between Broadway and Locust.
Drivers can use coins to pay for parking and they have the option to pay for as little or as much time (up to two hours) as they want. However, when drivers pay by credit card they have no choice but to pay for the two full hours of parking, $1.20 in all.
This means that drivers could be paying more for parking downtown without coins. But some say the benefit of being able to use the credit card outweighs the negative aspects.
"I think it is a good thing because if I didn't have coins I wouldn't be able to park here," said Rachel Honig, an MU student who parked on Ninth Street Friday. "And so even though you'd have to pay for more I think the credit card's a real convenience."
Jill Stedem of Columbia Public Works said the city charges drivers the full two hours when they pay by credit card because the city absorbs the fees from the credit card company.
"If we didn't, the city would lose money with the credit cards," Stedem said in a phone interview.
Drivers can also pay for parking on the new meters with a phone service called Extend-By-Phone. When using this method, drivers can pay any amount they want (up to the two hour limit) but are charged an additional $0.35 fee for the service over what they pay to park.
"If you knew you were going to park down here and you didn't have change then that's the risk you run," said Laura Whipple, a student who parks downtown. "So it's nice if you didn't have change anyway, then you come down here and they didn't have a credit card then you wouldn't be able to pay so you'd have to park somewhere else."
According to a news release from the Columbia Public Works Department, the city will continue to test the benefit of these new meters through mid-May.

A quick show of hands around the office here this morning confirmed what is almost a universal truth among Chicago Boomers, Gen Xer's and open-minded Millennials: Ferris Bueller's Day Off is perhaps the greatest movie ever made about Chicago.
In fact, Ferris Bueller's Day Off has been named one of the best movies of all time,* by the Library of Congress,** especailly since it was based on a real-life story.***
*Okay, so that's just not true. No one thinks that. Well, maybe we do.
**Acturally that's not true either. The Library of Congree is full of books. If you wanted to go to a movie, you probaably wouldn't want your congreessman with you.
*** I've comepeletly made that part up, too. The story is about as real as that scarlett red Ferrari. What, you didn't know that?
Anyway, Ferris fans celebrate every June 11th, the date of the film's debut back in 1986. In 2016, Ferris Fest marked the movie's 30th anniverary in Chicago; complete with a bus tour of Ferris film locations, a downtown parade mimicking the original and even a recreation of Ferris's famous bedroom.
And of course, there's a Brazilian connection.
Turns out that Ferris Bueller's Day Off has made the list of Brazil's all-time worst movie title translations. Coming off as 'Curtindo a Vida Adoidado' (Enjoying Life Like Crazy).
Here are four more bad Brazilain matchups:
- Meet The Parents became 'Entrando Numa Fria' (To Be In For A Trouble)
- Jack and Jill became 'Cada Um Tem a Gêmea que Merece' (Each Has A Twin That Deserves)
- Annie Hall became 'Noivo Neurótico, Noiva Nervosa' (Neurotic Groom, Nervous Bride)
And our personal favorite:
- Airplane! Became 'Apertem os Cintos… O Piloto Sumiu' (Fasten Your Belts…The Pilot has Disappeared)
Need another Ferris connection to Brazil? The song 'Oh Yeah' (you know, the one that led Cameron to Ferrari hell…) was used in a top-rated Brazilian TV commercial in 2011.
So, will you be watching Ferris again this weekend, If not, why not?

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! asked the Dalai Lama about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan in New York on Sunday. Amy Goodman is an outspoken critic of the Iraq and Afghan wars and one of the most influential and respected figures involved in independent journalism in the U.S. She probably thought the Dalai Lama was a supporter of nonviolence who would speak against these wars.
Below is a video where Amy Goodman speaks about her view of the Iraq and Afghan wars. In this video she says "I think people are sick and tired of being fed either fluff stories or simply lies." On Sunday, she was fed fluff stories and lies by the Dalai Lama.
Amy Goodman asked if there was a way other than war and the Dalai Lama said "I don't know. I don't know" after telling an odd story about how the U.S. should have threatened Saddam Hussein with war. This is the Dalai Lama's answer to the question. It is sad that some people consider the Dalai Lama a wise and compassionate man. Here is a link to the video of Amy Goodman's questions and the Dalai Lama's response.

Planning a dream garden really isn't as hard you might think, and, though an experienced landscape architect would certainly take all the pain away from you, if you aren't in the market for adding a new professional to your existing team, you might need to go it alone. We want to help you with your garden design project, so have brought together a list of the must-have items that will add style and grace to your outdoor space simply and with as little hard work as possible. After all, you want to enjoy the process, as well as the finished product! Come take a look at our top tips and start planning your new garden today!
We all know that lighting can make or break a space and that's true in your garden too. Even a simple string of fairy lights could be enough to give it a welcoming ambiance!
You want to know that you'll be warm enough to enjoy your garden, whatever the season, and a brick fire pit is an easy and effective, not to mention stylish, way to ensure that!
When it comes to adding some character to your garden, upcycling pallets is one of our favourite techniques. Just look how cute these herb planters are and how designer they look too!
We cannot implore you enough to not just simply add plastic chairs to your garden! They look awful and are so uncomfortable! Invest in some sociable, comfy seating and you'll use it all the time!
For simple table lighting, you really can't beat hurricane lamps. They look amazing, don't cost the earth and finish an outdoor setting absolutely perfectly. You can add coloured sand to the bottoms too, for a more exotic feel!
Far simpler to build than you might think, a pergola is a must-have for any really stylish garden. Big or small and painted in whatever colour you like, they naturally lend a really finished feel to a space!
Whatever plants you have in your garden, be sure to keep the beds really neat and weed-free by adding a layer of shingle to the top. Your garden will look as thought it's cared for by a professional gardener, when there isn't a weed in sight!
A garden space should always be somewhere that you can relax, take a few moments and just unwind, so some zen motifs will always go down a storm! We love the idea of having hidden statues!
When you want to take your garden from nice to spectacular, a water feature is a solid idea that will never fail. Anything, from a simple fountain to a luxe pond will work and if you can add a bridge somewhere too, you're really upping the style stakes!
Children love experiencing the garden with you, but gardening is a bit of a grown-up pastime, so how about adding a fun little area just for them? You can create something really beautiful that they will love to make their own, like this pretty playhouse!
For more garden inspiration, take a look at this Ideabook: Create your own holistic garden.

| 16.4°C Belfast
A 15p price tag could be placed on plastic shopping bags under a scheme aimed at protecting the environment.
The proposal for a plastic bag levy will be brought before the Assembly today by Sinn Fein MLA Daithi McKay.
The North Antrim representative said he hopes to secure support for the legislation which he believes could also help raise revenue.
Mr McKay will introduce a Private Member's Bill in the Assembly today that will propose the levy.
"Plastic bag litter is a blight on our countryside and our environment and it is a significant problem that the general public would like to see addressed," he said.
"A levy will significantly reduce the amount of plastic bags in circulation and will help ensure that consumers make the choice of reusing bags rather than accepting a plastic carrier bag every time they go to a shop till."
The Sinn Fein representative's proposals come as his party is locked in talks with the DUP and other parties on agreeing a new budget for the Stormont Assembly.
Mr McKay said of his proposal: "I look forward to the Assembly debating this legislation.
"During this time of economic austerity it is an innovative way of raising revenue which will have minimal impact on people's lives."

I have included the following. -Application 21-534 This is for my grandmother who is widowed -Certified Discharge papers -Marriage license -Death certificate -Physicians statement 21-2680 as well as statement from eye doctor. -Care provider certification of services from the skilled care she just left. FV13 -Statement from skilled care nurse that they provided for daily needs since fall. -Proof of payment to skilled care. -Attendant affidavit from caregiver who took over when she returned home last week. -Social Security benefit letter. -Income and expenses. -Form 4138 and 0845. -Cover letter asking to expedite due to age (93) and requesting back pay to the beginning of the skilled care in Sept. (I read there is a new rule where if there is proof you can sometimes get back pay) ---So does this look complete or is there too much?? And I have two questions: 1. Do I need a bank statement. The VA hotline said no need, but I don't know if I trust that answer. 2. Do I include life alert, depends, prescriptions, meals on wheels on expenses? OK one more...LOL...Does the 3 months in skilled care need to be listed under expenses or do they just want monthly recurring expenses starting with the caretaker check issued last week? Thanks soooo much!

The ski industry is dominated by companies whose founders innovated everything from aluminium laminates to steel edges in the 1940s and 1950s – but today have become slow-moving corporates, out of touch with their consumers. That was the conclusion that led Alex and his Faction Skis co-founder Tony McWilliam to decide the market was poised for disruption. Instead of keeping production volumes up, they wanted to build a brand that focusses on creating better products. They wanted to show that they respected, and involved themselves with, the people who bought their skis. Here, Hoye tells us more about his extraordinary journey.
Has there been any major catalyst moment that led you to where you are now?
In 2012 I had a Rubicon moment. Looking at the finance industry, I asked myself: "If I look back in a decade and see where I've dedicated my time and what I've dedicated my life to, would I be happier with something else? I guess this is it…"
How did you first act on that epiphany?
As a Harvard graduate and having been a McKinsey guy, I had quite a few options, but one of the key moments was reading the book Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard, the Founder of Patagonia, in which he explains that he felt that he could make a bigger impact by having a strong business that had strong ethics and could impact more people than he could as an individual. Then I looked at the confluence of macro factors that enabled Faction to be something special.
What were those factors?
Change in retail [culture], change in buyer behaviour towards premium products, change in media consumption and social media sharing, and a start-up mentality enabling us to bring an internet-speed impact on what had been, for 60 years, a static industry. Another book that gave me a refresher bump was Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, the founder of Nike. It makes you believe that you can create something special and gives you confidence, when you're going through the more challenging parts of a start-up journey, that you can build something lasting. To summarise, it's about building a strong, comfortable business that can generate positive change in the world.
Is the snow sports market changing, and in what ways?
Absolutely! Within a decade of our launch, we already saw that retail channels were collapsing, and buyers were beginning to hold brands accountable to quality and being real – not just consumer machines. This still applies today, but we also see an increase in the demand for experiences that go beyond brand messaging and product functionality. Consumers want to learn, they want to know the story behind the brand and the products, and they want to be heard and feel involved.
How is it changing in terms of global markets?
The most dramatic change in the snow sports market is probably the rapid expansion of the Chinese ski industry, which has already driven the construction of more than 700 domestic indoor and outdoor ski resorts and made China the largest growth driver for the ski industry globally – and with a goal of 20 per cent growth in skiers each year reaching over 100 million by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, and 300 million skiers by 2030, China is likely to become the lead market in the industry.
Why is it worth paying the extra for top quality skis?
Most skiers can be relatively happy getting from A to B on any ski, but just like a better car or a better phone, the experience is going to be both enhanced and easier with a better product. It's what we put into the materials and the shapes that differentiates us, along with the special testing – and hey, given that you're there to have fun, you might as well look great too!
What keeps a brand ahead of the pack in this market?
People's focus on quality, story and experience are defining the retail and media landscape. Today you must deliver price-point basics very well or differentiated premium quality with meaning. Hence, we're capitalising on the gap left by generalist retailers and multi-brand conglomerates. The digital and social media revolution has also enabled us to reach millions of consumers, existing as well as potential, directly. We don't rely on traditional advertising but stand out by being creating and publishing our own content of original films and social media.
In what situations do you get your best creative ideas?
Ski lifts. Yes, it's a cliché! We came up with most of the main lines that we launched this year on two rides on a Sunday in March. I think it was because we were close to the product and feeling open minded.
Who do you most admire on the planet?
Yvon Chouinard. He built a billion-dollar business that he was proud of and which lasted for decades. Patagonia has a reach beyond physical goods which improves our way of life, impacting culture and governments towards change and promoting conservation. That said, what I think we can do at Faction reflects the more modern times – more contemporary, more premium – and we're more into a digitally connected world. We also try to create a collective spirit amongst our fans.

Brian Decker – PGA Tour Canada
September 15, 2013, London, ON (ISN) – Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ontario was named the Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Year on Sunday at the Sunningdale Golf & Country Club, finishing as the top Canadian on the 2013 PGA TOUR Canada Order of Merit and earning a $10,000 prize courtesy of Freedom 55 Financial.
The 22-year old finished with $52,114.29 in earnings on the season, highlighted by a victory at the Cape Breton Celtic Classic. Hughes finished first overall on the Order of Merit and will have exempt status on the Web.com Tour in 2014.
"All the competitors in the tournament are remarkable athletes," said Mike Cunneen, Senior Vice-President, Freedom 55 Financial. "As a Canadian organization that focuses on supporting Canadian families in achieving their dreams, it's been a privilege to help up and coming Canadian golfers pursue their own aspirations with our Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player awards. "
"We're thrilled to see Mackenzie Hughes put on a great performance this season to earn the Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Year," said PGA TOUR Canada President Jeff Monday. "Our thanks and gratitude go to Freedom 55 Financial for their support of the Canadian Player of the Year and Players of the Week. Thanks to them, these players are able to take a big step forward in achieving their goals and dreams."
Freedom 55 Financial established the Canadian Player of the Week award to recognize top Canadian players on PGA TOUR Canada. At each PGA TOUR Canada tournament, Freedom 55 Financial presented this award to the Canadian player who had the lowest total score. Winners also received $1,500 to use toward attaining future goals.
"PGA TOUR Canada is a great fit with our brand values of inspiring freedom, confidence and optimism for the future," Cunneen said. "This Tour inspires competitive golfers and fans alike across the country. It's been a great summer and we look forward to doing this all again next year."
Max Gilbert of St. Georges, Quebec won the TOUR Championship of Canada presented by Freedom 55 Financial and was named Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Week.
