Funeral Services
There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you. As you participate in the planning of the funeral service, you help create a meaningful experience for everyone.
It is the goal of Bass-Smith Funeral Home to help people complete the relationship with the one who has died and to provide a climate that encourages each person to give and receive emotional support. During the funeral service, family and friends have the opportunity to relate to each other at the deepest levels and find mutual strength.
Complete Funeral Service
Traditionally, the funeral will be a Complete Funeral Service. This includes a family or public viewing of the deceased. Following this will be a service, typically in the church or at the funeral home. This would be followed by the earth or above ground burial of the casketed remains. Caskets selected may cost from several hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars depending on the material the casket is constructed of. Many cemeteries require that a minimum grave liner be used to encase the casket when earth buried. These minimum liners are constructed of concrete and are designed to hold the weight of the earth, maintaining the cemetery property. A sealed vault may also be used. The vaults are also constructed of concrete and are designed to not only protect the gravesite, but are manufactured with inner liners that not only restrict the entrance of graveside elements (water and earth) but increase the strength of the vault.
Graveside Service
The Graveside Service can be another selection. This many times would follow a time of visitation at the funeral home. The casketed remains would then be transferred to the cemetery where a graveside ceremony could take place followed by the burial.
Traditional Cremation Service
The Traditional Cremation Service is another type of selected offering. This service will be just like a Complete Funeral Service except cremation will follow instead of the casketed burial. This can be accommodated by the use of a cremation casket (casket that is designed to be cremated) or even a rental casket may be used. Following the viewing, service or ceremony, and eventual cremation, the cremated remains can be buried, properly scattered, or returned to the family for safe keeping. Urns are used to hold the cremated remains. Urns can be constructed out of basic materials like cardboard or plastic, or constructed out of more protective materials like basic and semi-precious metals, ceramics, and woods.
Cremation Memorial Service
The Cremation Memorial Service can be arranged as an immediate disposition of the body, but is most times followed by a memorial service at the church, funeral home or other location. A Memorial Service is one where the body is not present. We recommend that if you select an immediate cremation that you are allowed a time, if possible, to privately view the body as a family. If the viewing can be done in a matter of a few hours after the death then embalming will not be necessary. If there is to be a long delay (more than 8-12 hours) then embalming would be encouraged. State laws vary as to when embalming becomes required. Viewing of the deceased is a very important step in acknowledging that the death has occurred. Having some type of service or ceremony is also a key ingredient to a healthy recovery of a loss due to a death.
Personalized Services
At Bass-Smith Funeral Home, we encourage families to create very personalized services. It is important to acknowledge that life that has been lived and to offer to the community a way in which to celebrate that life. By offering services and memorialization features that are personal and special, a unique life can be remembered and honored in an individualized way that is comforting to the family and friends.

In a lead story that appeared in a local weekly , Deputy Minister of Mines Mr. Fred Moyo was reported as confirming that there has been a somewhat recent discovery of a potentially vast diamond fields stretching from East to south Eastern Zimbabwe. These fields are thought to be the equivalent to the size of one of our SADC neighbours, Swaziland. They have also already been placed in what the deputy minster referred to as the as Umkondo Basin.
Admittedly, revelations of such a profound nature and potential economic impact for the country, must be taken very seriously. Both by the government and all Zimbabwean citizens. Especially where it relates to our perennial political and economic controversy that is diamond mining.
As it has turned out, it's a revelation that appears more intended to promote government's ZimAsset programme, before any tangible measurement of either the extent of diamond or other mineral deposits therein or any effective development of a state minerals exploration company
Furthermore, the immediate reference to the diamond mining companies already in Chimanimani as probably getting first preference in relation to exploration indicates that the government is acquiring its information from the same corporations.
While the news story has a rather sensational headline, 'Billion dollar Diamond Fields', it does alert us to a number of matters concerning our governments attitude toward mining, minerals exploration and economic progress.
Key among these would be that the government is seeking to claim economic success on the basis of speculation or unmeasured potential. And sensationally so. This is regardless of the fact that prior to the cited interview given by Ministry of Mines officials, it has been in the public domain that there has been unexplained diamond explorations in Bikita which falls in the same Umkondo Basin.
Add to this the unaccounted for diamond mining in Marange and there is enough evidence that the problem lies deeper than claims of the discovery of new 'billion dollar diamond fields'. It then becomes a question not of 'lessons learned' but 'problems unaddressed'.
Desperation to make ZimAsset a success on the part of government should not be allowed to cloud real issues. Let alone to make sensationalist claims to the media without outlining either a comprehensive plan with a specific time frame. Or at least a socio-economic assessment of what any such diamond exploration in the Umkondo Basin will have on peoples' lives. Both in the regions in question as well as nationally.
What also comes into view and question is the nature of the relationship between the government and the mining corporations that have tended to know the country's minerals resources more than the former. An important question would be the extent to which the government intends to set the pace of both exploration and eventual mining.
This being done without falling victim to the desperation it has exhibited in order to makes its economic blueprint, ZimAsset, palatable to the people of Zimbabwe. As is tragically the case with the Chiadzwa diamond fields, government and the people of Zimbabwe are the ones who have been led and shortchanged by mining company interests.
And as always, this begins with exploration as was the case with De Beers which has been accused by government of dishonesty about what it knew. Naturally the government might be smarter or less complicit in aiding secretive private mineral exploration its leverage is however limited to that elephant in the room called 'investment and technology'. Both of which the government is having a hard time acquiring.
A final and even more important perspective to the Umkondo Basin sensational announcement is that it does not explain the issue of what the import is for the millions of people who live in it. Particularly the majority of those who live in its rural areas. Both in the short and long term.
It is inadequate to generalize about the 'nation' when one has talked about a basin the size of Swaziland in which not only mining becomes a significant factor but the dramatic changes that will be seen occurring to peoples livelihoods. That is, from mainly subsistence and semi-commercial farming to having potential monoliths of mines with attendant changes to environmental and even political landscapes.
These are phenomenal considerations that the Mining ministry officials' reported comments in the media initially do not seem to be cognizant of. In fact, it may be a case of an underestimation of the serious import of such a national matter for the purposes of ill contrived political expediency.
If the Mines ministry was seeking to come across as organized and honest as regards the immediate past of repressive, disorganized exploration and extractive mining of diamonds in the region, such statements attributed to it do not help its intentions. And given such evident political expediency, we are obliged to ask the question, 'what came first, ZimAsset or the Umkondo Basin?'

Yesterday Dakota told me that we were having a date that night and that I would be in charge of planning. At first, I was not very excited because I hate planning but he was working late and he planned the last date so I took the challenge. As Dakota was at work, I kept trying to come up with things that we could do that would cost close to nothing. Naturally, I went on Pinterest and found some great ideas! I decided to do something simple and make a fort in our living room. But before that, I had to go to walmart.
At walmart, I got a bunch of tea light candles and some sweet glasses to go with our sparkling cider. Then I came home and start building the fort. It was a good thing Dakota was working late because it took me FOREVER to build the fort by myself and in the end it still wasn't perfect haha. But oh well! After I set up the fort, I started making dinner and setting up all of the candles. In the end I set up about 120 candles in our living room and kitchen. It looked sweet! When Dakota got home he was really surprised 🙂 He was thinking that we were going to go out and do something but not this time!
As we ate some delicious chicken and rice by candle light, we watched Anger Management and drank sparkling cider. It was one of the simplest dates we have ever done but it was so much fun and romantic. While watching the movie, we started talking and decided to go on a spontaneous road trip! Dakota drove us to Dairy Queen where we eat chose a delicious treat to eat on the road. We ended up driving to the new airport to watch the planes come and go (which ended up being a bust). The new airport is one our favorite spots to go and talk. It was a really fun, simple, and memorable night 🙂

A new visitor center opened in Kazbegi National Park. The Tourism Information Center will be located in the new building. 793,450 GEL was spent on the construction of the center.
Minister of Environment and Agriculture Levan Davitashvili is sure that the visitor's center will be a special place in Stepantsminda. Visitors will have the opportunity to get detailed information about the park's biodiversity and tourism services.
"In the new center all conditions are created to ensure that our employees will serve visitors best and carry out their activities at a high level. At this stage we are working on the specification protected area boundaries. We also plan to increase human resources, to ensure that the park administration succeeds its tasks. In addition we will have rangers. We also want to open a small museum that will be an educational center where visitors will be able to learn about the biodiversity we are so proud of," said Davitashvili.
As the Minister noted, Kazbegi National Park is a unique ecosystem that requires proper protection and promotion.
The building of the Kazbegi National Park Visitor Center was built with the support of the German Government and the German Reconstruction and Development Bank (KFW). The project was implemented by the Consulting Group (GFA).

This 'Carbon Removal Marketplace' Will Make Buying Offsets Easier
As companies like Lyft start to invest to make up for their carbon footprints, the world of offset buying needs more transparency and accountability.
Author: Adele Peters | Published: June 14, 2018
On his small family farm in Petaluma, California, Don Gilardi hopes to begin spreading compost over his pastures next year as a way to fight climate change. The technique helps plants pull more carbon from the air and store it in the soil. The farm will also use other "carbon farming" methods, like planting trees on pastures and managed grazing. In doing so, it could sequester an average of 295 metric tons of CO2 a year, more than the emissions of driving a Toyota Camry a million miles. In 20 years, the farm could sequester 32 times as much carbon.
A new "carbon removal marketplace" hopes to make it easier for consumers and businesses to directly support farmers who, like Gilardi, want to shift to climate-friendly practices. It will also later connect consumers to other types of carbon offsets, such as those from tree-planting projects. Called Nori, the new platform, which will launch by the end of the year, will use blockchain to streamline the process of buying and selling offsets.

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen.
It is my pleasure to join you for the opening of today's Tech Camp Reconnect.
First, let me thank the CcHUB, our implementing partner, for helping to mount this three-day program, they have put in a yeoman's effort to ensure that this event goes smoothly.
I would like to welcome Meredith Gloger and Bertha McDuffie, our colleagues from the Bureau of International Information Programs who are the brains behind this workshop.
I must also thank all of the trainers, the Consulate staff, and the members of the media who are covering today's event. We appreciate you.
Now for the visiting participants, the alumni of the previous Tech Camps, all of you, from different African countries – Niger, Ghana, Côte d Ivoire, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, etc.
Welcome to Lagos!
I am standing in this morning for the head of the Consulate, Consul General John Bray, who is out of town currently but will return in time to join all of you tonight for the reception at his residence.
I am sure he looks forward to meeting you and hearing your stories.
The American Consulate is pleased to host the YALI TechCamp Reconnect Workshop which aims to accelerate the development of innovative technology solutions and digital strategies for strengthening democratic governance, transparency and citizen engagement,
We are extremely impressed with the fact that the Tech Camp has brought together 46 participants from 15 countries.
It is especially gratifying that what has brought you here is your desire to advance good governance and accountability on the African continent.
When former U.S. president, Barack Obama, established the Young African Leaders Initiative in 2014, he did so out of the conviction that the future of Africa is largely in the hands of its youth. Your presence here today is a practical demonstration of that conviction.
In providing support for this initiative, the U.S. government has demonstrated its belief that real solutions to African problems can best be developed by Africans.
To assist you, the State Department through International Information Programs, or IIP, has assembled a team of highly qualified trainers and experts who will help to bring out the best in you. These trainers have extensive experience from previous TechCamps held in Europe, Asia and in Africa. I understand that among these trainers and experts are some very accomplished Nigerians. That is fantastic!
It is not an exaggeration to say that each and everyday we see evidence of the critical need for greater efforts in good governance. In fact, you will not have to go far outside of the doors of this institution to find confirmation of the need for real solutions to some of the most vexing issues facing government in Nigeria and elsewhere.
I am speaking of the need for better healthcare, more efficient transportation, better schools, improved sanitation, a healthier environment, in other words, a better quality of life and a more prosperous lifestyle for the citizens of Lagos or cities like Lagos throughout the continent.
Unfortunately, finding lasting, sustainable solutions to these problems is hampered by corruption, the absence or misallocation of resources, and simple mismanagement.
I am sure it is your hope that your skill and experience, the wisdom of the facilitators, or perhaps your commitment and passion will lead you and your colleagues to share some best practices or identify technological innovations that will help us in our quest to improve governance at all levels and ensure greater transparency and accountability.
We are counting on you!
The task is huge but every journey must begin with that first step. Perhaps sometime in the future, someone will cite this TechCamp as one of those first steps toward finding solutions to today's problems.
I strongly encourage everyone here to think broadly about ways you can forge partnerships and expand your network as Tech leaders.
I won't take up to much of your time this morning because we want to put you to work finding those solutions!
So let me conclude by wishing all of you success in your search for tools and techniques that will help civic-minded people of good will, let me wish you a pleasant stay in Lagos, and let me encourage you to return soon to this great city.
Please return to share your great ideas because as you will hear time and time again over the next three days, You are Welcome. Thank you very much.

Anti-abortion advocates have long contended that abortion produces two victims: the unborn child, and his or her mother, who, a mounting body of research affirms, risks physical and emotional injury.
But there is evidence that abortion often involves a third victim, one who is typically dismissed when he is acknowledged at all: the child's father. ...
Studies have shown that some men have negative emotional experiences akin to postpartum depression after the birth of their child.
In an article in the May issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers at the Eastern Virginia Medical School examined 43 previously published studies involving 28,000 male and female adults and found that at least 1 in 10 fathers became depressed after the birth of their child.
A study in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology even found that half of male partners experienced varying degrees of psychological malaise following their partner's miscarriage.
If a man can feel negative emotions after every other type of pregnancy outcome, why not after an abortion?
A 2009 study in the journal Public Health examining the associations between abortion and relationship functioning found that "for men and women, the experience of an abortion in a previous relationship was related to negative outcomes in the current relationship."
It also discovered that an "experience of an abortion within a current relationship was associated with 116 percent and 196 percent increased risk of arguing about children for women and men, respectively."
Men whose current partners had an abortion were more likely to report jealousy (96 percent greater risk) and conflict about drugs (385 percent greater risk). The authors conclude, "[A]bortion may play a vital role in understanding the [causes] of relationship problems."
It may be difficult for some to understand why men would react negatively to a partner's abortion. After all, men are often as much a part of reproductive decisions as the women themselves. Surveys of women who had an abortion reveal that they often feel direct or indirect pressure to abort the child from their partners.
But in a culture that teaches that "it's her body, her choice," men are often excluded from the decision, and thus left to feel helpless. Men have no legal voice in the abortion decision.
In Planned Parenthood of Missouri v. Danforth, the Supreme Court ruled that the state was not required to notify or obtain permission from the husbands of women seeking abortion.
Either way, it is something of a taboo for men to talk about feelings of loss or guilt after their partner has had an abortion. Women, after all, are the ones who carry the physical and physiological burden of pregnancy, and they are the ones who are often abandoned to address the consequences of reproductive decisions.
Many men who have watched their partners go through an abortion, some probably feeling shame over having failed in their responsibility to protect and provide, try to repress their feelings.
To many, abortion has become a normal and acceptable part of reproductive health care.
One abortion takes place about every 25 seconds in America (based on the Guttmacher Institute's estimate of 1.2 million abortions in 2005, the last year for which comprehensive data were available) making it one of the most common surgical procedures. But the effects following the abortion of one's child should not ever be discounted when making that kind of decision. Not for the mother, and not for the father.

4 Fun Ways to Celebrate Oktoberfest in Houston
When Fall arrives in H-town, that means three things: football season has begun, school is in session, and Oktoberfest is near. While the annual festival in Munich is in full swing, you don't have to fly to Germany to participate. In fact, there are several of these distinctly German parties right here in Texas, so check out these events celebrating Oktoberfest in Houston.
Oktoberfest Houston
Started in 2011, Oktoberfest Houston is now an eagerly-anticipated annual event that celebrates both German and Texas culture. You can wear a dirndl, drink authentic German beer and dance to polka music, and also put on your cowboy boots and drink local craft brews. You can also compete in Olympiad games including the Stein Race, Barrel Roll, Stein Hoisting, and the Legendary Brat Toss. It's all taking place September 29 at The Water Works at Buffalo Bayou Park.
King's Oktoberfest
King's Oktoberfest is so big it needs two weekends. The bierhaus has two locations, so why not visit both? Attendance on October 7th and October 21st gets you a raffle to win a trip for two to the real deal – the winners fly to Munich for Oktoberfest in 2019. Entertainment includes adult carnival games, arm wrestling, and a Bavarian strongman competition. Winners of the bier pong tournament will get $500 cash, which will buy a whole lot of beer.

Texas Renaissance Festival
A ren faire doesn't automatically say Oktoberfest, unless it's the Texas Renaissance Festival in Todd Mission. Take a day trip September 29 or October 1 and you'll say Huzzah! to Old Bavaria at this themed weekend. They'll have polka music, brats, and strudel. Dust off your lederhosen before you go and you can compete in the costume contest.
Saint Arnold Oktoberfest
Party in a classic German-style beer hall at the Saint Arnold Oktoberfest on October 6th and 7th. Named after the patron saint of brewers, this brewery is Houston's oldest.

Game development studio Horizon Blockchain Games has gotten an investment of $3.75 million dollars. Among the investors are companies like Coinbase, Polychain, Golden Ventures and the co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian. Horizon has already built one game and and blockchain video game network.
So far Horizon Blockchain Games has been developing its games and services on the Ethereum blockchain. The company has multiple office hubs around the world, even though the majority of the company is located in Canada. Horizon has offices in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Seattle, Mexico City and Madrid.
The companies first game is called SkyWeaver. It's a free-to-play online collectible card game. Because of the nature of blockchain games, players can actually own digital cards and sell them for money. The game is in development for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows PC. It's currently in closed beta testing. An official release date has not been set yet.
Each card in this game will have a certain value and can be sold. Just like with physical collectible card games some cards will be more rare and valuable than others. Cards can be traded and sold by all players, as they have true ownership. To store their cards, Horizon is developing a crypto catalog called Arcadeum.
With Arcadeum, the game studio is building a digital portfolio where players can store their digital collectible cards. Here players will also be able to discover new games, acquire new items and so on. It's supposed to become a central hub for multiple games in the same way that the Epic Games Store, Steam, Uplay and EA Origin work for the traditional game companies.

My name is Olivia Bloom and I. Am. Free.
I left for LA with everything I owned piled into my old Volkswagen and dreams of becoming a costume designer. Little did I know I'd wind up designing for a lingerie company—yeah, not sure how I landed this gig—and taken under the wing of two young Hollywood insiders. The fashion shows and parties were great, but life really got exciting when the seriously hottest lead singer of my favorite band started to fall for me.
How does someone like me, an ordinary girl from Pittsburgh, wind up in the arms of the world's sexiest rock star—surrounded by celebrities, fashion, and music—and not be eaten alive? Berkeley is everything I've ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, but the paparazzi, the tabloids, the rumors, it's all getting a bit too crazy. My life has become every girl's dream come true, if only I don't blink and lose it all…
I loved it! I love a good 'ol rock star meets ordinary girl romance stories. In Bloom has the magic to compel you to journey with Olivia (our main character) in her search for freedom to do what she loves, and along the way she meets her love. It's all cliché, but hey isn't that what good romance books are for? Plus this has a YA-approved sensual content approved by me.

text: With Halloween fast approaching I'm in full on "find the perfect costume" mode. This is Fletchers first Halloween so obviously I am going to go all out. Now with that being said, I don't want to be that dog mom that goes way overboard, but at the same time I want him to have a fun and cute costume! So I've been browsing the internet, checking out stores, and just gathering ideas. Now, lets just get this out there. I'm not really a dress your dog kinda person, so this is new for me. I love all the cute little sweaters and outfits- but Flech is a giant. So it makes it kinda difficult to dress a horse. So for me, I just stay away from the apparel section that way I'm not tempted. BUT, Halloween is a completely different story. It's the time of year when everyone dresses crazy and goes all out. So we will for sure be participating in all the spooky festivities. Here's our list of favorites this year- a dinosaur, a taco, and Superman. All really different, but really adorable in their own unique ways. If you and your pet are looking for great costumes, here are a few that we are loving. Something I love about these is that they are reasonably priced. Who wants to spend a load of money on a pet costume? Not me, so these cute and affordable costumes are right up my ally- and I think they'll be right up yours too! Just a few things to keep in mind when you are planning to celebrate Halloween with your pup. 1. Make sure that you get the right size for your furry friend. Just like humans, things can be to tight or to loose for your pet. That makes it uncomfortable, so spend the extra time trying the costume on. You won't regret it. 2. Make sure to take lots of fun pictures, this is a night you are not going to want to forget. 3. Make sure if you are going out with your pet into a populated area that he or she is on the leash. The same rules still apply. Just because our pets are dressed like kids, doesn't mean they get to run crazy like the humans. 4. Last but not least- I know it's tempting to give your dog human food, and maybe even candy. But this is the worst thing you could do for your pet. Don't share your Halloween candy, just give them their own. There are plenty of Pet stores that will be making Halloween designed treats. Your pooch will surely love the taste! So have fun, check these costumes out and let us know which one is your favorite, there are plenty to choose from. Check back soon for some fun ideas on what you and your furry friend can do on the spookiest night of the year! Happy costume hunting! Also, if you have any ideas on homemade costumes, or even photos from previous Halloween holidays, feel free to share! We love new ideas.

Thief steals one car, then trades for another
A thief who hot-wired a car in Bernardsville last Thursday apparently drove it to Bedminster Township the following day for a trade-in, abandoning it in a parking lot and stealing another vehicle. The first theft was reported at 11 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15, by a Bernardsville resident who had parked his blue 1989 Buick Century in the Bernardsville train station lot earlier in the day. According to police, the owner found broken glass on the pavement in the place where his car had been parked. Shortly before 6 p.m. the following day, Bedminster police were called to the Hills Village shopping center to investigate a report of a car that had been left with its engine running for two hours. The car, which had a broken front passenger side window, turned out to be the same Buick that had been stolen from Bernardsville the day before. The steering column was also damaged, leading police to conclude that the vehicle had been hot-wired.
A few minutes later, police said, a Bridgewater man who is employed at the shopping center noticed that his gray 1987 Oldsmobile which had been parked in the space next to where the Buick was abandoned was missing.
Police said the recovered Buick was returned to Bernardsville and an alarm was put out for the missing Oldsmobile. As of presstime Tuesday, the vehicle had not been found.
No arrests have been made and the thefts are under investigation.

Babbino, 19, of Linden, were apprehended at 12:40 a.m. as they descended from the mountaintop estate in the direction of Lake Road in Far Hills. Police began searching for the pair after a Far Hills officer noticed a car parked along Lake Road, near the back entrance to the estate. According to police, Storey was charged with trespassing, underage possession or consumption of an alcoholic beverage, and a disorderly persons charge of using obscene language in public. Police said Babbino was charged with trespassing, underage possession or consumption of an alcoholic beverage, and illegal possession of a prescription drug.
Police said the Storey and Babbino were each released on $500 bail pending a municipal court hearing.

Nicholas Demos, 35, of Rockaway, was arrested on drug and motor vehicle charges after a motor vehicle stop on Mount Airy Road at approximately 10:25 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 14, police said.
Demos was driving a 1992 Ford Explorer when he was stopped by Patrolman Jon Burger for having a plastic cover on his rear license plate. Police said that after Burger talked to Demos, he received consent to search the vehicle and found a marijuana pipe with residue.

Police said Brown was in a 1987 Oldsmobile at the Amoco service station on Martinsville Road when Patrolman Kevin Little ran a check of the license plate and found that the owner's license was suspended.
Although Brown said he had borrowed the car from the owner, his own driver's license turned out to be suspended, police said.

Brown allegedly admitted that it was cocaine, police said. Hee was charged with possession of cocaine and driving while suspended, police said.

Invite for Road Trip from Hamilton ON to Kamloops BC in an Appliance Repair Van (Join if you can!)
This invite goes to everyone who is ready to go an a road trip on March 7th, 2020, from Hamilton, Ontario to Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. The reason why we send out this invite publicly is because we only have one vehicle and eight people. The vehicle is mine and is an appliance repair van that can only fit four people legally so we need someone who's willing to come and also has a vehicle. But if we get more than one extra vehicle that also means we can create a caravan and invite more people who don't drive. So if you'd love to join our Canadian road trip, please send me an email.
If you're not sure you're the right personality to join our crew, we should let you know that we don't plan to drive overnight… at all. We plan to visit different pubs every night along the way and make the whole road trip from Hamilton to Kamloops a party! So if that's okay with you then there's a good chance you're a good fit for us. If you don't have a vehicle though we only ask that you pay for your own hotel rooms (or see how things go) and definitely pitch in some gas money. If you're supplying a vehicle then expect to not pay much for gas because there'll be people pitching in.
So those are the details. Remember to get in contact before the morning of March 7th, 2020 if you want to come!

Country Boy beer can honors Haggard with memorial date stamp
Requests pouring in for cans
The warehouse crew at Country Boy Brewing is honoring country music legend Merle Haggard with a stamp on the bottom of its cans this week.
One of the company's owners, Daniel Harrison, told the Lexington Herald-Leader the workers are country music fans and when they heard of Haggard's death Wednesday, they decided to put a message on the cans.
"The guys in the back in the house ... are big country music fans, and it wasn't planned, but it just happened," Harrison said.
On Thursday morning, warehouse worker Steve Caudill added a date stamp on the bottom of Cougar Bait cans that read "R.I.P. Merle."
The workers sent Harrison a photo of the stamp, which he then posted on Facebook. Once the photo was posted online, people started calling and saying they wanted the cans.
"We didn't think it would be such a hit," Harrison said.
There are about 2,800 six-packs of Cougar Bait with the memorial stamp, making their way to stores. Harrison said people can also stop by the Lexington taproom and ask for one.

Does this mod work with just the standalone version of arrowhead?
2015-11-07 00:09 Posted by IsaacCoote
This appeared to be a great mod but unfortunately many parts of it did not work for me. Is it because I don't have the latest patch? I got it to run after including the muzzle flash which unpacked successfully but had no muzzle flash, most guns had no firing sound (or appeared to be equipped with a silencer) and other than explosion and smoke effect all else was missing. Any support from fellow players who might be able to help as I would love to get this running it looks awesome.

Breaking news
After six years of legal wrangling, a court in Jerusalem has ruled former Melbourne principal Malka Leifer can be extradited to Australia to face 74 charges of sexual abuse.
Robert Xie murder trial: Jury fails to reach verdict over deaths of five family members in North Epping
By court reporter Karl Hoerr
A Sydney man charged with murdering five members of his extended family will face a fourth trial next year after the jury in his third trial failed to reach a verdict.
Robert Xie stood trial in the New South Wales Supreme Court for nearly 10 months, accused of using a hammer to bludgeon the victims to death.
The bodies of newsagent Min Lin and his wife Lily Lin, their children Henry, 12, and Terry, 9, and Mrs Lin's sister Irene were found inside their North Epping home in July 2009.
Mr Lin was Xie's brother-in-law.
Xie was interviewed extensively by police not long after the deaths, and again the following year.
He was arrested and charged with the murders in May 2011.
Xie first stood trial in May 2014, but the jury was discharged for legal reasons.
A new jury in a second trial was also discharged, this time due to the ill health of the trial judge, Peter Johnson.
The current trial began in February, before Justice Elizabeth Fullerton.
Jurors retired to consider their verdict on November 12 and were soon sequestered at a Sydney hotel to help them focus on their task.
They first indicated they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on Friday.
On Monday, they restated that position and were granted permission to hand down verdicts of guilty or not guilty, by a majority of 11 to one.
"The circumstances have arisen in this trial in which I may take a majority verdict," said Justice Fullerton at the time.
"No other number but a majority of 11 will suffice," she said.
However, today the jury again stated it could not reach a verdict.
It prompted Justice Fullerton to discharge the jury.
"I am absolutely confident you have each given your all to what has been a lengthy trial," Justice Fullerton said to the jury.
"The law should not be something you are fearful of.
"You know what your job was ... that you could not return verdicts is not something that you should take as a personal failure or any of you as a collective failure."
Justice Fullerton said the trial was an example of the "criminal justice system in operation" and said to the jury "on a personal note, I thank you".
Xie appeared composed when the foreman of the jury revealed it could not reach a verdict.
He dabbed his eyes with tissues on several occasions but did not appear to cry as he listened intently.
His wife Kathy Lin cried in court and was comforted by a Salvation Army chaplain.
Xie was on the verge of tears as he collected his files and was taken into custody.
Outside court, Ms Lin said "my husband is innocent."
"We never ever give up," she said.
Xie now faces another trial next year.

'Sterling can do better' - Guardiola challenges Manchester City hat-trick hero
Pep Guardiola insists Raheem Sterling can improve upon his hat-trick heroics in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Watford .
Sterling's quickfire treble early in the second half, which was kick-started by a controversial offside call in his favour, helped City to preserve their one-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table with eight games remaining.
The England winger has once again been in superb form for Guardiola's side this term, scoring 15 goals and supplying nine assists in 27 Premier League appearances to place himself in player-of-the-season contention.
Editors' Picks
But Guardiola felt Sterling's showing before half-time – in keeping with a generally lacklustre collective display – was some way below his increasingly brilliant best.
"Raheem can do better. He scored three goals, we're delighted, but he can do better," said the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss.
"The first half was not the best performance from him but it's good when not playing at the top level to be consistent and score the three goals.
"It is the most important thing and we need that. The first half, he can do better."
Looks like I did well today lets keep it like that #wearecity pic.twitter.com/ha2ooj3TBN— Raheem Sterling (@sterling7) March 9, 2019
Sterling's place in City's long-term future was secured last November when he penned a contract extension until 2023, part of a policy at City that has seen the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus, Aymeric Laporte and Ederson renew ahead of schedule.
Ilkay Gundogan's situation stands in contrast, with the Germany midfielder's deal set to expire at the end of next season.
Gundogan is seemingly in no rush to extend his terms at the Etihad Stadium and, after a performance against Watford he described as "incredible" by "an incredible player in all senses", Guardiola chose to apply a little more gentle pressure.
"Hopefully he can stay. I would prefer him to stay but at the same time I want to feel he wants to stay too," he said.
"If he doesn't want to stay he has to leave. But we would like to continue. Next season he has a contract.
"I said before, if he wants to stay we will talk to him and we can sign the contract. We signed the contract with Kevin in a few days, with other players, with Gabriel.
"But he doesn't want to right now so we will wait. When he wants it, we will be here."
We spoke at half time to make more movements. @aguerosergiokun made more movements in behind. Clear and faster.— PepTeam (@PepTeam) March 9, 2019
Hablamos en el descanso de movernos más. Agüero hizo más movimientos por dentro. Claros y rápidos. #MCIWAT #mancity pic.twitter.com/tsmvRau12Q
Victory for Liverpool and Gundogan's old Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp over Burnley on Sunday kept the title race tight heading into the season's final two months.
City are not back in Premier League action until March 30 at Fulham, with Champions League and FA Cup games against Schalke and Swansea City on the agenda next for the EFL Cup winners.
This battle on all fronts leads Guardiola to think slip-ups from his team, who have won 10 of their past 11 in the league, is inevitable.
"It's nice to be there [top of the league], of course," he added. "When people asked if Liverpool feel the pressure on top of the league [when they were leading], I said I preferred to be on top than behind.
"It's always better to be there because it's in your hands. But my feeling is the same as a few games ago: we are going to drop points. With this calendar and schedule, we are going to drop points - as few as possible.
"Keep the distance with Liverpool as much as possible and arrive in the last fixtures with the opportunity to win the title."

Well they clearly made a huge impression on you. I didn't realise that's who you were using.
I signed up a while back and got the samples and put them down somewhere, forgetting where.
Clearly I am missing out here.
That DB magazine was GOOD. Thanks for letting me leaf through it.

I have to say that the magazine has become my new favorite. I love all the patterns and want to make a few of them (including the item on the front cover). AND I found out that DB herself lives not far from Loop in Angel, which has now become my fav yarn store in London. I might have to hang out there more often!

Tomorrow is the interview you have been waiting for. You have the perfect thing to wear, you've prepared for a myriad of interview questions, and you've brushed up on how to overcome any bad habits that might deter your interviewer from offering you the job of a lifetime.
Still, there is one more thing of vital importance you need to do before your interview in the morning, which is getting a good night's sleep.
Sleep is vital to our overall well-being so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that being well-rested before your interview is especially important.
After you have laid out your clothes, planned the route you will take to the interview location, and printed out extra copies of your resume, it is time to go to bed
1. Sleep Is Good for You
The benefits one gets when sleeping are unmistakable. Your memory will improve greatly, your concentration will become more precise, and your creativity will be sparked anew. These new-found qualities are assets when preparing for a job interview.
We realize that an interview is the exact type of thing that can cause anxiety, which can be a thief of sleep for most people. Here are some ways we have found that could help you drift off to slumberland and enable you to have a restful night.
2. Get Your Bed Ready
You may be lucky enough to own a good mattress like the Zenhaven, where great sleep is easy, or you may be in need of a new mattress, another reason you want to land this interview.
Either way, you have to make the best of your sleeping area and the night before an interview by allowing low lights, comfortable bedding, and a room free of distractions like televisions, laptops, tablets, and cellular phones.
3. Begin to Unwind
Thirty minutes before you are set to get tino bed it might be a good idea to shut off any devices you might be using and just sit with your thoughts. You can use the time to practice your answers to some standard interview questions but don't think about it too much. At this point, you should be well prepared and it is time to relax.
You can meditate in a chair for a few minutes paying close attention to your breath as it goes in and out of your body. Sit up straight and push anything out of your mind that might linger in there while you are trying to fall asleep.
4. Have a Healthy Snack
There are schools of thought about eating before bed, some say it is a bad idea while others claim that if the snack is healthy the results will be healthy. This decision is up to you. It is common for people to feel a bit of drowsiness after eating due to the rise in insulin.
Of course, filling up on a bowl of pasta or pizza isn't a snack exactly. You don't want to be sluggish and find it hard to wake up in the morning. Something light should suffice, like cheese and whole-grain crackers or an apple with peanut butter. Just enough to get the insulin up and the eyelids closed.
5. Time for Temperature
When it comes to the temperature of your bedroom the best selection would fall under the "Goldilocks rule", which is "just right." If the room is too hot you will find yourself tossing and turning attempting to find a comfortable position and if it is too cold you will spend most of the night trying to warm yourself.
Authorities in the world of sleep find that the perfect temperature to keep a room is between 65 and 75 degrees. In between these ten degrees sits comfort that will ensure you sleep peacefully.
6. Scents Can Help
Certain aromas like chamomile, ylang-ylang, and lavender are able to ignite the relaxation centres of your brain. You can put a few drops of oil on a paper towel and slip it under your pillowcase, or you can mix the oil drops with water in a spray bottle and mist it directly to your pillow.
There are many ways to introduce oils and scents into your bedroom. Find one that works for you and let the essence of scents help you drift away to dreamland.
7. Let the Ocean Guide You
No, this is not a suggestion to move by the ocean. There are machines available that can create a nice sleep noise for you, like waves in the distance or just static. White noise machines not only offer a steady cadence that soothes your Circadian Rhythms, but they also mask other noises around your house so you don't get distracted.
8. Read
Read the book you've been wanting to start or the magazine article you've been meaning to finish. Reading at bedtime has helped a number of people fall asleep so it just might work for you.
When selecting your reading materials it would be wise to choose something that is easy to put down and easy on the mind, no need to read about heavy news items when you want to rest well and wake up refreshed.
And don't forget to set your alarm. If you are late for the interview it won't matter how well-rested you are.

Rabbit Proof Fence
Summary: An overview of the ways in which the film "Rabbit-Proof Fence" conveys the importance of home, family, and country to indigenous peoples. The film "Rabbit-Proof Fence" conveys the importance of home and country to indigenous peoples. The director Phillip Noyce refers to home in different ways. He has symbolised home by repeatedly showing images of the Spirit Bird and the Rabbit Proof Fence, since it is a connection to their home. The movie shows Molly's determination to get home and back to her family by escaping from Moore River and finding her way back home to her country, Jigalong.
At the beginning of the film, it is shown how Molly's family hunt for food and use their bush skills in their culture, to survive in their home land, while speaking their own language, doing what they do in their community. Their community have their own civilisation and get taught their own lessons of their past generation of stories. Molly's mother tells her about these stories, in which they call "Dream Time Stories" in which the Spirit Bird comes from. Molly is told that the Spirit Bird will always look down on her and protect her, however this is different at Moore River, where they couldn't do what they were brought up to do. "You don't speak that Jabba here, this is your new home, you speak English!"
During the film, it shows us motifs of the "Spirit Bird" and how it gives Molly inspiration, when she sees it her dreams when at Moore River, which made her want to run away back home. This is such a symbolic connection between her and her home land. Also near the end of the long journey where she is struggling to get home, she sees the Spirit Bird fly over her, which gives her the determination to keep going to get home to her family, and not to give up.
Culture plays an important role for the indigenous people, and their love and care for their land. They kill animals only for their survival. They have much respect for their land, and...

Men with beards are more attractive to women
It's official, men with beards have been deemed more attractive.
A study in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology asked 8,500 women to rate men with and without beards, highlighting which of the two had a higher boyfriend potential.
And sadly for the men without beards, the study reported that every single woman preferred the men with facial hair.
Want to argue with science? Well here's exactly what the research said:
"Male-typical facial features such as a pronounced brow ridge and a more robust jawline may signal underlying health, whereas beards may signal men's age and masculine social dominance.
However, masculine faces are judged as more attractive for short-term relationships over less masculine faces, whereas beards are judged as more attractive than clean-shaven faces for long-term relationships."
Heavy stubble received the highest ratings for general attractiveness, followed by full beards and light stubble.
Have you got some beard envy? Don't worry, here's how to grow a beard (for people who can't grow a beard).
The Babel Alchemy Beard Ritual has also put together an easy three step routine to ensure flawless facial hair that takes less than 15 minutes.
Step 1: Smash your alarm and hit the showers to lather up that beard with the its deep-cleansing Mint Pistol Beard Shampoo. Add the aromatic Oud Resin Body Wash to get that fresh feeling all over.
Step 2: Towel off and add a few drops of Babel Alchemy's Beard Oil to your palm, work through your facial hair and the skin beneath. The hydrating blend of oils smooths coarse beard hairs and banishes dryness, itching and flaking to keep your beard looking fresh.
Step 3: And if you're feeling extra wild, add a dab of Sweet Tea Tree Beard Balm. A quick slick gives you complete control over those annoying resistant hairs, for a natural hold that won't fade on you.

I know, I know. Beating dead horses is unpleasant. But there's still something that bugs me about Alberta Premier Ralph Klein's recent transformation into the Brave Alcoholic.
As we all know, Ralph Klein dropped by an Edmonton homeless shelter ten days before Christmas for a "lively policy debate" of the yelling-at-the-homeless variety. Klein later claimed he was just there to chat with residents and learn what their situation was like. Presumably he did so, for he excused himself by "cheerfully" telling the homeless people to "get a job." He then tossed some cash on the floor as he left. I, for one, have never seen anyone toss money or swear at another person in good spirits, but that's the Klein's story anyway.
It was at this point, amidst growing criticism—which included a full page of admonitory letters in the Edmonton Journal—that Ralph Klein had a revelation. He was an alcoholic. Well, actually, wait, he's not quite an alcoholic.
"I don't know, the word alcoholic is subjective. I do know I have a problem and I do know I'm going to deal with it," confessed a teary-eyed Klein at a press conference.
What courage, I thought. He almost admitted to being an alcoholic.
I guess most people considered Klein's admission to be close enough to the real thing. Before you knew it, the media trotted out addiction counselors for advice and made Klein into some sort of hero for revealing his "devil" in public. In their lead editorial, The Globe and Mail applauded the example Klein set for others like himself. In the National Post, Christie Blatchford, a former alcoholic, wrote a sympathetic column entitled "I know how Klein feels."
Unfortunately, Klein received all his support by promising nothing. By his own admission, he's drunk to get through speeches and missed meetings because of hangovers. Clearly, drinking has affected him on the job. Even so, he refuses to quit his job or alcohol entirely. As it stands, Klein is nowhere near the first step of Alcoholics Anonymous: admitting you are powerless over alcohol and your life has become unmanageable. And yet we applaud like seals.
Conveniently, the homeless shelter story has disappeared while Klein has enjoyed a ten-point rise in the polls.
I certainly don't doubt that he was drunk or that he's an alcoholic. He likes to gives slurred, incoherent speeches. The best was last year when he he won the election and blurted: "Welcome to Ralph's World!"
Klein's admission—for what it's worth— confirms what many suspected was drunken behaviour. But has Klein promised any real change to his lifestyle? He's says he's still going to drink, just less. That's not courage, just an easy escape.
