The mark of any good business leader is that their word, their handshake, and their signature can be trusted to carry out their promises. Otherwise, they really wouldn't be worth the trust you place in them. In his first 100 days as President, a marker that the President himself called "an artificial barrier," Donald J. Trump has proven his intentions to stay as close as he possibly can to fulfilling his campaign promises. And he did it despite all the negativity of the mainstream media, violent Soros-funded anti-Trump protesters, liberal judges overstepping their constitutional limitations, socialist Democrats in Congress, RINOs, Communist academics and their brainwashed students, and the President's many rounds of golf.
Trump has shown why he was so successful as a business leader and has carried it over to a place that hates it when one's word is your bond, especially when it doesn't line up with globalists and their lobbyist puppets working quid pro quo in the halls of government. One of the biggest accomplishments is the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court. He has also signed 28 acts of Congress and has proposed parameters for legislation for tax reform and the repeal/replacement of the Affordable Care Act. Among his approximately 30 Executive Orders, including one today to prompt offshore energy endeavors along America's coasts, he urged the Department of Education to place control of public schools back to the state and local level (bye-bye, Common Core), called for the strengthening economically and agriculturally of rural areas, targeted overburdening tax regulations, stopped enforcement of overreaching Obamacare regulations to lay the groundwork for its repeal and replacement, established whistleblower protections for the Veterans Administration, greenlighted the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, stopped federal funds from going toward abortions and forced sterilization, and many more.
While many of us gasped when he ordered missile strikes against Syria, strengthening Kurdish and Iraq forces against ISIS along with those missile strikes and the use of MOAB to kill almost 100 ISIS fighters in Afghanistan are paying off as many terrorists are abandoning ISIS after they realize their hopes in the terrorist group were unfruitful. And to think, all of this is only the beginning. Although he has had a few setbacks which the media have overstated as being huge losses, when he campaigned, setbacks only strengthened his resolve to bounce back. I have a strong feeling his presidency will be the same way. That's why I continue to pray for him and his advisers.

Solihull Moors have tied down captain Darren Carter until June 2020.
In line with his new deal, Carter will also take on an ambassadorial role for the Moors, which includes promoting the club in the community and at events.
The 35-year-old has played a key part in Solihull's rise from relegation battlers to title challengers since joining in 2017.
Carter has made 39 appearances this season in all competitions, scoring two goals and is just 12 away from reaching a century in Moors colours.
He is part of a first-team leadership trio with Kyle Storer and Liam Daly and is the academy manager.
He told the club's website: "Whenever you agree a new deal or sign a new contract, I think it's a case that you're enjoying yourself and you're helping the Club progress.
"After speaking with the Gaffer, Darryl (Eales) and Calvin (Barnett), they wanted me here next year and I wanted to be here.
"It was something that was done pretty quickly, which I was glad about. I'm really excited to be part of the change that is going on at the Club.
"There's plenty of positive stuff behind-the-scenes and on the pitch we're performing – we're in a great position at the moment."
Manager Tim Flowers said: "We've tried to tick the lads off and tried to tie them down for next season.
"We've got some real good pros here but he's (Carter) probably the best pro at the Football Club. He's in fantastic condition, he looks after himself and he's played at the highest level.
"He's a credit to the football club and to himself. We're delighted to have him and he's one of the go-to players for me when I make sure that everyone's happy.
"He's fully deserved his extension. We're delighted to have him tied down, we're delighted that he's committed to us and he's a fans favourite."

Last week a couple of friends commented as such:
I had to agree. Here is a different set of problem that arises between different gender friendships. There's no telling when, where or how feelings might develop in either or both of the party involved. Now, let me stress again, this is a different issue than last week's "BF/GF, Did I Lost A Bestfriend".
If the feeling is mutual, and they managed to get the feeling across to each other, then both of them better know that they are the luckiest person on earth!
If it's not one or both of them are going to get hurt, one way of the other. There's no way around it.
One couple, who happens to be my best friends, are engaged and getting married by the end of this year after more than 5 years dating. Yes, they fought, and quarrel, but because of their friendship engraved long before that, despite everything, they understood each other, and more importantly, they trust each other. I am wishing them the happiest journey together, forever.
For me, I don't believe in suppressing feelings. Yes, I value our friendship, and yes if possible I do not wish for the friendship to end, but even if I do not tell him what I feel, I would still feel miserable. It's okay if he's single, I may be able to fix a smile and stay around him, but what happens when he found a girlfriend? Even worse, what if he's getting married?? I am positive, if I am that much in love with him, I would not be able to stick around and be his friend either way.
So yeah, I believe in taking chances. If I never try, who knows what I'll be missing. I refuse to live my life thinking "what if I had told him.." Due to that my heart must have taken enough beating to last a life time.
What kind of question is that? Of course it does!! But once you're over and done with it, once you've known the definite answer, you can finally get on with your life. For me, that's the best freedom EVER!
Well, yeah, I might have to severe connection with him to get over the feelings for a while, but now, we are back as friends. It IS a pity that I could not be friends with him the way I used to, but really, am I missing that much? Didn't I met a lot of other friends along the way that is just, if not more, as precious as he was?

NORTH GOWER–On Sept. 8, Breakfast on the Farm will be hosted at the Foster Family Farm in North Gower. It will be the tenth Breakfast on the Farm since 2013, and so far, almost 20,000 people have been fed, entertained and engaged at the events. The day is completely free to attendees although preregistration is required.
Breakfast on the Farm, coordinated by Farm and Food Care Ontario, provides a unique opportunity for farmers and non-farming Ontarians to have a conversation about food and farming. It gives guests the chance to visit a real, working farm and the opportunity to have their questions answered by real farmers. The event is staffed by 100 volunteer farmers and others working in agriculture.
The hosts for this event are Dwight and Ruth Ann Foster and their family. They and their children encompass the fifth and sixth generations to live and farm in the Ottawa area. Their new beef feedlot (built in 2016) is the only one of its kind in the Ottawa area and houses about 3,000 cattle per year. The family, with help from their employees, also grow several thousand acres of crops, have a trucking business and own North Gower Grains, a commercial grain elevator with a capacity to store 100,000 tonnes of grain.
After being treated to an all-Ontario breakfast featuring eggs, pancakes, sausage, apple cider, maple syrup, milk and more, visitors will be able to see beef cattle and farm machinery, a working grain elevator and will have the opportunity to have their questions answered by helpful farm experts. Interactive stops around the farm will include many displays, activities and exhibits that showcase other types of farms in Ontario.
The event will run from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., with breakfast being served until 11:30 a.m. Farm tours wrap up by 1 p.m. It is a free event, though preregistration is required; the first 2,000 visitors are guaranteed breakfast.
Visit www.FarmFoodCareON.org and click on the home page button to obtain free tickets or to learn more about volunteering or sponsoring the event. The event is supported by many national, provincial and regional farm organizations and agri-businesses, as well as many dedicated community volunteers.

Featured Image: Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff faces suspension from office in less than a week. Photo: Andressa Anholete/Agence France-Presse/Getty Images
By João Pedro Stedile
"They may control laws and manipulate legislative decisions, but they can't generate the riches of the country. Those who produce the riches are the workers, and we are the ones that can set the course of the country" – MST
On May 10 or 11, the Senate will temporarily remove President Dilma from her seat. And, in the following 48 hours, she will have to find refuge in the Alvorada Palace or the Torto Farm.
This is despite the fact that in the Chamber of Deputies nobody is able to provide hard evidence that proves that the President has committed any crime at all. The accusation of fiscal peddling —made by a deranged lawyer— is so absurd that most of the very same Chamber members that voted for it are in turn charged with corruption and may be removed by the Supreme Federal court. That means that those who decided on it are criminals. And it's the same scenario in the Senate. The rapporteur of the process, Senator Anastasia, of the Brazilian Social Democratic Party, used peddling as an administrative process to transfer thousands of millions of reais during his term as governor of Minas Gerais. The process is so clearly absurd and political that the accusers are actually the ones guilty of the crimes.
But, in the end, the true goal of the bourgeoisie is to use those lumpen-Parliamentarians to give way to the recomposition of neoliberalism in Brazil. They need to recover their profit rates and continue to accumulate rents and riches. And, for that, they need three things:
- Decrease the cost of workforce, by reducing salaries and rights of the workers.
- Total freedom to privately own the enormous natural riches of our land, which, according to the Constitution, belong to the people. They want the Pre-Salt, fresh water, hydroelectric companies, etc.
- To place our economy and our market under the domination of the interests of US companies. For that, they intend to end with the Mercosur, and weaken the Unasur and the coordination between the BRICS, and accelerate free-trade treaties.
It's not a coincidence that Aluísio Nunes has travelled to Washington, US, to report to the boss, while the coup is being consummated, and Senator José Serra (PSDB) is announced for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
What to do in the face of so much wickedness in the elites?
On the streets, and among the society in general, there is a clear sentiment that what happened with the impeachment vote was a legislative-judicial coup like the ones perpetrated in Paraguay or in Honduras, to give way to an economic model that oppresses people.
Dilma's government made many mistakes, many of them similar to the traditional policies of the PSDB in their state governments. So there weren't enough reasons to destitute her on that basis. The goal is to exploit workers.
More than 350 manifestos and signings in support of her government were made by different sectors of society condemning the coup: artists, religious leaders, intellectuals, students. All against the coup! None of the figures that expresses and represents the people supports the coup.
The working class doesn't have another solution but to strengthen organization and keep expanding the mass mobilizations to denounce and condemn the coupists, whether they are Parliamentarians, businessmen or members of the judicial power.
To expand the denounces and mobilizations against the O Globo media network, the true political leader of that coup.
Besides, to keep defending the workers' and social rights, union centrals convened a national stoppage on May 10.
This will be a warning for coupists: the struggle is active. And it will warn Senators that they might control laws but they can't produce the riches of the country. We the workers are the ones that produce riches,and we can set the course of the country.
If mobilizations keep growing in the next days, then we might be able to, after the coup, make unviable and sweep away the neoliberal program that Temer and Cunha intend to install, promote consciousness so that there are at least 28 senators willing to stop the coup in the final voting and return the power to the 54 million Brazilians that voted for President Dilma Rousseff.
And, if the coup is consolidating, we might make pressure again so that there's a plebiscite to return to the people the right to decide on political routes, so that there can be a political reform in the country —through a Constituent assembly— and rebuild a political system in which the people can truly exercise their power as it is in the Constitution.
If not, we will sustain a long period of intense fights, of economic, political, social and environmental crisis.
Our lumpen-bourgeoisie gets away with replacing governments. But they are not the ones that produce things nor organize social life. The future depends on how the people and the working class will mobilize.
Stedile is a leading radical intellectual in Brazil associated with the militant Landless People's Movement the Movemento Sem-Terra (MST).

Frequently Asked Questions
The climate varies based on where you are, however generally it remains pleasant and comfortable throughout the year
During North America's summer season, the weather in Tanzaniais equivalent to spring or fall. So imagine cool in the early morning and night but not cold. North America's winter is Tanzania's summer. Tanzania does not have four seasons like North America does; rather it has only two: a dry season and a wet/emerald season, which replenishes the countries lush vegetation to its vibrant green hue. Overall across the year expect the highs in temperature to range from 70-86F and lows 52-58F.
Tanzania can be visited all year round. Read about the best times for specific activities:
There are two seasons, the dry season (May to October) and the green season (November to mid-May). Both seasons offer you ample opportunity to see wildlife, and each offers you a different experience of the landscape.
During the dry season, animals are forced to move longer distances in search of food and water, which means it is easier for a visitor to spot animals and see wildlife in higher concentrations.
During the green or wet season, the landscape is greener and provides a great deal of food, due in part to the rain, but this is not true for the entire country for example, in the Serengeti, located in Northern Tanzania, game viewing is at its best year round. So regardless of whether it is dry or green, animals are abundant.
For certain wildlife spectacles, like the Great Migration, November to August is the best time to visit Tanzania. Sometimes the large herds of wildebeest will stay longer in Tanzania, depending on food and rain patterns.
We suggest climbing Kilimanjaro and other peaks in Tanzania during the warmest and clearest months (December through February) or July through September. This does not mean you should not climb Kilimanjaro during any other months, but we suggest avoiding April and May, due to possible muddy trails and rain. Some of the six routes are better climbed in some months than others.
The answer to this will vary for different people and will depend on several factors, including your interests and preferred style or travel. There is no such thing as a typical safari. Here are a few things to consider:
- How long do you have to spend?
- Will you participate in multiple activities or a single one?
- What are your must sees?
- What time of year do you want to visit?
There is no direct flight between North America and Tanzania. Depending on your selected route, you will either stop in Europe, the Middle East, or somewhere on the African continent before continuing to Tanzania.
Some suggested carriers:
KLM – Tanzania via Amsterdam
Qatar Airlines – Tanzania via Dubai
Turkish Airlines – Tanzania via Istanbul
Ethiopian Airlines – Tanzania via Addis Ababa
South African Airways – Tanzania via Johannesburg
There are two major international airports in Tanzania. Dar es Salaam International Airport is on the coast, and Kilimanjaro International Airport is in northern Tanzania. Only a few selected international carriers fly directly to Kilimanjaro Airport. Zanzibar International Airport, on the main island of Zanzibar, also serves as an international hub, but there are only a few international carriers that fly directly to Zanzibar.
To get elsewhere in the country, we suggest you fly to either Kilimanjaro or Dar es Salaam International Airports and then make the necessary transfers.
If flying to a regional airport like Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, make sure to arrange a transfer to Arusha or Dar es Salaam.
Carriers that fly to Tanzania, but only stop in Dar es Salaam include British Airways, Continental, Kenyan Airways, Egypt Air, Swiss Air, and Emirates Airlines.
Certain vaccinations are required when travelling to East Africa. A yellow fever vaccination is required upon entry into Tanzania if prior to arrival. If you have already been vaccinated for Yellow Fever, be sure to bring your certificate as you will need to show this upon entry.
Protecting yourself against malaria is important. We recommend that you speak with your doctor about the best method for you. The most common method of prevention is by using pills that you take before and during your stay. Visit the Centers for Disease Control web site for up-to-date information as well as your medical physician about your travel plans.
A passport and visa are required for traveling to Tanzania. Your passport should be valid for at least six months after your arrival date.
To obtain your visa, visit the Tanzanian embassy or consulate office in your home country.
On safari
Accommodations range from large lodges to small and intimate tented camps.
Tent camps vary from simple and rustic to super luxurious with exquisite furnishings and the comforts of home, inclusive of flushing toilets, running water, hairdryers, and more.
In large towns or cities
There are many hotel options from large-scale, internationally known brands to locally owned places.
On the islands and along the coast, there are lodges, hotels, beautiful ocean resorts, villas, and private resident properties
Tanzanian shilling. It has its origin in the British shilling. Tanzania was under British rule after World War 1 until 1961.
Major currencies (like the U.S. Dollar, the English pound, and the Euro) can easily be changed in cities and towns, although U.S. dollars are sometimes preferred.
This all depend upon local taste but we do recommend:
- Khakis trousers as well as light linen shirts.
- Comfortable walking shoes or boots
- Hat for the sun along with sunscreen and sunglasse
- Light fleece or sweater for cold mornings (depending on location)
- Bathing suit (depending on location)
- Insect repellant
- Your camera to capture the wonderful scenes

What our customers say...
"our honeymoon in Tanzania was the best trip of our lives. It is very difficult to put words behind what we have experienced in Tanzania thanks to Renny (the owner), Muhammad (guide in Kilimanjaro and in charge of coordination on the ground) and Honest (our safari driver). Our Kilimanjaro climb was memorable. My wife and I have actually never camped out before so this was a 'first time' for many things!"
-Moez & Khadija
What our customers say...
"My wife and I just returned from THE trip of a lifetime. This was much more than just another African Safari tour. We were introduced to Renny, a native Tanzanian, running her own family Safari travel agency in New Rochelle, NY. Whenever my wife called with questions about the trip (and there were many), she spoke directly with Renny. "
-Hy & Terri
What our customers say...
"A wonderful experience with Asante Safaris. They were so helpful even from the first email, answering all of our questions, customizing our trip to be perfectly suited for what we wanted, and providing hands on help and guidance while we were in Africa"
-Emily & Carl
What our customers say...
"The best trip of the year was to Tanzania with the owner of Asante Safaris. We went first to Ruaha national park, part of the Great Rift Valley. There were many baobab trees, and we stayed at a private tented camp. Our next stop was Selous game reserve, a World Heritage Site that has wild and unspoiled miombo woodland."

Two thousand years ago, Christ said to his disciples, "Give not thought what you will say before you are brought before the judges; for verily I say unto you, at that same moment, the words shall be on your lips." Christ was pointing out a mystical truth, that if a person is tuned into their Higher-Self they will be guided by it. How many of us have had that happen? I know every time I'm interviewed I have no idea what I will say until the question is asked and lo and behold the answer comes forth. Not only will the words come forth, but new ideas of how to do things, or even a new business idea will come to you when you let go (ego) and let your God-Self. You see we are born in this society where we have been programmed to just go along and not think for ourselves. But we can through meditation, prayer and our intention begin to regain our sovereignty and know that from within lies all the wisdom, knowledge and understanding needed to consciously create your Heaven on Earth, be empowered and truly happy.
The choice is yours, do you continue to go along or do you begin to do your own thinking; after all isn't that what this incarnation is all about? Becoming your own master, a conscious creator?
More important than any technique learned to establish self-direction or gaining control of your thoughts is the spirit with which one approaches life. You must want to be directed by your Higher-Self and have a sincere desire to be true to your own soul and your individual destiny as determined by God. It also means seeing the illusion that can come about when letting your ego-self guide you creating false thoughts about yourself and the world around you.
As you strive to connect with and tune in to your Higher-Self it helps to maintain a positive mental attitude at the surface part of your consciousness because it creates a state of mind wherein your higher mind may more easily influence you. You may also want to learn to separate an intuitive response from an emotional one, as an emotional response is more the influence of your personal ego and the influence of other people's thinking of you and not your Higher-Self which of course is the detached observer of all things.
If you wish your higher mind to lead you, you must keep open to it, so daily affirm that you receive inner Higher-Self direction by using an affirmation such as: "All channels of my mind are open to receive daily direction from all channels opened for me through my Higher-Self."
The effort you put forth is nothing compared to the benefits of truly stepping into you God power. Are you ready to open up to all the divine possibilities awaiting you?

I'm sure many Mums find themselves struggling to manage their weight after they have had their little ones and I am one of those Mums. I am very conscious about how much I exercise, I think about what I am eating and I have had to buy new clothes in the last year because of my change in size.
If you don't know me or haven't seen me recently, you are probably assuming at this point that I have put on a bit of weight, which is a perfectly normal assumption, but I haven't. A few weeks after giving birth I was a stone lighter than when I got pregnant and at least a dress size smaller. I was even lighter at one point and I am still more than half a stone lighter and a dress size smaller.
Many of you are probably thinking, so what's the problem? The problem is I am 5'6″ and was a size 10 beforehand. I didn't have much room for manoeuvre and losing the weight I lost meant I looked unhealthily skinny. At first I thought this was just my perception of myself but every time I saw my colleagues at least one of them would say "have you lost more weight?" or "how much do you weigh now!?". Then when I saw one of my best friends, who I hadn't seen for a while and he started to say "you look…" then he paused, looked at me properly and then said "skinny", I knew I really had a problem. When he left he told me I needed to eat more, but I was eating loads!
How I looked wasn't the only problem, I also spent a lot of time feeling weak and dizzy and after going to the doctors and having blood tests to make sure I wasn't anaemic, diabetic or that my lupus (another story, perhaps for another post) hadn't returned, none of which were the case, I knew it must be my weight.
I have always been into exercising. Since I was 16 I have gone to the gym, before then I played Volleyball and represented my school in gymnastics competitions and so naturally I got back into it after I had my little boy. Not straight away, with everything else that as going on (see Becoming a Mum) but once he was about 8 months old I think I was properly back into exercise, walking, running 5Ks, light weights and some gym sessions. I realised that a lot of this exercise was fat burning and needed to stop, which was extremely frustrating as it's such a big part of me and a part of me that I desperately wanted to cling onto. I felt a lot of what made me, me had already changed since becoming a Mum but I knew I had to be sensible.
The exercise stopped and the diet changed. I had been eating whatever I wanted to pretty much since giving birth. While breast feeding I was careful about alcohol intake, nuts etc, but apart from that I was eating whatever. Probably more cookies and muffins than ever before because I spent a lot of time in cafes either because I was meeting up with other Mums or because I needed somewhere to go and feed the little fella while I was out and about and clearly I couldn't just have a coffee! So it wasn't like I was trying to be careful but after reading up on gaining weight I wasn't really eating the right weight gain foods so I changed my diet. I started eating cereal and two slices of whole grain toast for breakfast. Then throughout the day I'd make sure I drank some grape juice, ate dried fruit and nuts, peanut butter and sweet corn. It worked.
Gradually I started putting on the weight. To start with it was only perhaps a couple of ounces in a week but I took every gain as a positive then it was a pound in a week. Now I weigh just under half a stone less than I did before I was pregnant and I'm happy with that, well at least I am most of the time. There are still times that I catch sight of myself in a mirror at a certain angle and I still think I look a bit skinny or my husband lets me know that when swimming there were bones showing where perhaps they shouldn't be and it reminds me I can't forget to keep up with eating those special weight gaining foods. I'm glad my husband keeps me on track with it because I think it could be very easy for me to start getting used to looking so small and think it's normal and then I could quite quickly be back to my weak, dizzy days, which aren't fun, especially now my little toddling monkey takes a lot of energy to keep up with and he is not light when he needs or more likely, wants picking up, so I need all the energy I can muster!
I am exercising again now but not to the extent I was before, now it's more of a social thing, going to classes with my Sister-in-law and friends. It's something I really like doing to have that much needed bit of me time and to keep hold of something that has been such a key part of my life. If the weight starts falling off again though, I know I will need to put it on hold again and that's ok if it's what I need to do to stay healthy.
I don't think many people realise how hard maintaining or gaining weight can be for some people. I know it's not just me who is going through this. I'm often told by people who would like to lose weight that I'm so lucky that I don't even have to try to stay slim but struggle to feel lucky. It really hurts when other Mums look at me up and down, focusing on my flat stomach, when I say I have a little boy or when I have him with me and they look at the pushchair then me. This makes me feel incredibly self-conscious and almost apologetic for how I look. This has stopped now that my little boy is a bit older, almost like it's acceptable for me to be slim now.
I know there will still be people reading this thinking boo hoo, poor slim Mummy and I'm sure there are many other people out there going through battles with being heavier than they would like and I know there is more stigma and judgement in society linked to being overweight. I just wanted to put it out there that the struggle can be felt both ways.

Viggo Allan Poe?
Internet rumors and Sylvester Stallone go hand-in-hand. Just last week they had had the Italian Stallion being cast opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, a rumor that quickly turned out to be false. Half of the casting stories you read on the Internet are mostly fans making their own casting, like way back in the mid-90s when the rumor got around that Kenneth Branagh was portraying young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels. Remember that one?
Now, Cinema Blend is reporting that Stallone is meeting with History of Violence star Viggo Mortensen about starring in his longtime passion project, Poe, a screen biography of Edgar Allan Poe, the greatest of all horror writers. OK, if this is nothing more than fan casting then it's pretty good, as fan casting goes. Mortensen is proving himself to be one of the great actors of our time (for proof, see his stellar work in Cronenberg's Eastern Promises) and Edgar Allan Poe's rich (if depressing) life has all the makings of a great movie.
While many may chuckle over the concept of Stallone writing and directing Poe, he's been extremely gung ho about it for a while now (Robert Downey, Jr. was rumored to be playing the role at one point) and sometimes passion projects bring out the best in people. Besides, Rocky Balboa was a really awesome movie, proving that Stallone hasn't lost it, and if January's release of Rambo ends up just as good (and it better), Stallone can do anything he wants in my book. Good luck, Sly!Read More

Friday, September 16, 2016
The following review is a special for BlackFive readers provided by Elise Cooper. You can read all of our book reviews and author interviews by clicking on the Books category link in the right side bar.
An Obvious Fact by Craig Johnson combines a mystery within a western setting. Readers get an understanding of the Cheyenne nation, the Wyoming setting, and how a small town Sheriff keeps his town safe. Sheriff Walt Longmire will remind readers of Matt Dillon with his quiet demeanor, Jesse Stone, with his determination to seek justice, and Harry Bosch with his need to be a detective for the disenfranchised.
He considers himself a "Cowboy Author who writes mysterious westerns. I live westerns. I built my ranch completely on my own in Northern Wyoming. After I was done I sat down and started to write. The western environment has a tremendous affect on my life, which is evident in the books. In my family I had a grandfather who was a blacksmith so I have been around horses all my life."
This novel allows readers to jump on the motorcycle with the characters as they go on a wild ride in Hulett County Wyoming having to face biker gangs, neo-Nazis, gunrunners, a mega millionaire, and undercover ATF agents. Henry Standing Bear, nicknamed The Cheyenne Nation, returns to the Sturgis Rally in an attempt to win a motorcycle race. He, Sheriff Longmire, and Dog, drive a '59 Thunderbird, Lola, towing the motorcycle. The actual namesake of Henry's car, Lola Wojciechowski, wants them to find out what happened to her son whose motorcycle was driven off the road and now lies unconscious in a hospital. Through the investigation that includes Longmire's deputy Victoria (Vic) Moretti they find that the crash was no accident. ATF is looking at the victim as a drug or gunrunner. It becomes obvious that Walt and Company are needed to sort out all the facts and find the perpetrators.
Johnson commented to blackfive.net, "In the contemporary American West the new horse is the motorcycle. We have the largest motorcycle rally in the world in the little town of Sturgis. When I was a child I started racing motorcycles and have had motorcycles my whole life. I had all these small, independent book stores that wanted me to come and do events at their stores so I began doing the Great Northwest Outlaw Motorcycle Tour on my own that takes in Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Oregon, and Utah."
Readers will not only enjoy the Western flavor of this novel, but Johnson's way of adding one-liners. This humorous and sarcastic dialogue will allow for some chuckles. The banter between the characters, as they rib one another, plays off well and adds to the storyline. Not to mention the way the author sets up Vic with her ability to drive and skeet shoot with the best of the male folk.
Anyone who enjoys these novels should tune in to Netflix to watch the series. The fifth season will start September 23rd. The characters are portrayed brilliantly by the cast, from Robert Taylor as Walt to Katee Sackhoff as Vic. But the person who steals the show is Lou Diamond Phillips who has 100% nailed down the essence of Henry Standing Bear, including his speech patterns.
Having Phillips portray Henry has added to the flavor of the show. Johnson believes he has done "a fantastic interpretation. Before he auditioned he actually read three of the books. He does a great job of that B movie speech where he never uses contractions. He speaks that way because Henry is very precise in what he does so his speech patterns are accordingly. Sometimes he uses that type of language to piss off white people who are arrogant."
Whether reading the books or watching the TV series readers/viewers will have plenty of action, humor, and twists. The character Henry, who at the end of the book, uttered a Sherlock Holmes line, can summarize this novel best, "There is nothing more deceptive than An Obvious Fact."

Today for my 43 I did a power move! Super fun (and hard)! This past week, Cranky Fitness and Fitknitchick both had posts about the benefits of power moves. I love power moves but probably don't do them as often as I should.
So, today I used my 14″ step to do box jumps. I jumped up onto the step and then
stepped off. I did all 43 quickly so I could get my heart rate up (soaring!!).
[youtuber youtube='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhgwmIgWnSU']
I'm really trying to be smart as I start running again. I decided that as much as I love my treadmill and running on it, I have a tendency to run too hard on it.
I think the reason I never get bored on it is because I constantly play little games with the time and speed. When I try and just set an easy pace to run – I get BORED. The other day I decided that much as I hate running outside in the cold, I would try it.
Good news? I got to go shopping for some winter running gear!!!
Had a very successful trip! Plus, I got an armband for my iPhone 5 so I could have some music!!! All set! This morning after my 43 and downing about 32oz of water I headed out. A quick stretch:
And I'm off. The route I like around the lake (which I haven't run since summer – thanks hip!) is just over 5.5 miles. I started my watch because I'm anal and even when I'm not planning to run hard I have to know my time! Here are a few of the things I learned today:
- HILLS SUCK!!! (my 1.5 incline is not the same as the hills around the lake!)
- My breathing is off (and loud!)
- It is hard to sing while running – plus I probably looked and sounded like a complete dork (Oh, well – normal!)
- The sand on the streets (from the last snow) is slippery!!!
- The sand when going downhill is dangerous!!! (thankfully no falls – would have been very unhappy to get a rip in my new gear!!!)
- I walked 2x for a total of 7 minutes and I'm going to be fine with that today!
- I'm an idiot and was running sub-8 minute pace (explains the breathing and walking bit) – I'm supposed to be taking it easy!!!
- If I hadn't stopped and walked when I did the first time, I would have missed this:
This isn't actually a picture I took (far too much trouble to get my phone out of the band) but a lady backing out of her driveway stopped and pointed out a bald eagle sitting on the lake! It was so very awesome! I wish it would have flown so I could see the wing-span but neat to see it sitting, too!
- My little gloves are perfect for the constant running of my nose caused by the cold.
- The sweat from running makes you really cold when you finish the run and walk an easy cool-down.
- I'm going to continue to run outside (even in the winter) but unlike some of the true die-hard winter runners it has to be at least 32 for me! (I'm a wimp and totally OK with that!!!)
- Over-all I enjoyed my run around the lake this morning (even though I still love my treadmill!!!).
Happy Saturday!!!

To stay up to date with the latest in the apiculture industry to can visit our beekeeping latest news. On the other hand if you're starting apiculture and would like to begin professional apiculture now download a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping can either be a full-time profession or a hobby that is simple. Yet, more often than not, what started as a hobby would turn into a profession. But you cannot simply tell and determine yourself you will begin to do beekeeping. Before starting on any avocation or profession, you need to have sufficient knowledge and comprehension on the area that you are going to enter. Then it's about time to indulge yourself, if you've been putting off your curiosity about beekeeping for a long time. Bee farming may not look difficult; by learning the fundamental beekeeping lessons, you can be got off to a good beginning.
What does a beekeeper must know?
On beekeeping to start at the right foot first, you should have interest that is full. You should have consented to share your house space with the bees. There are possible risks in beekeeping that can harm not only you but your family too. Your focus is not only to build an income by selling honey; a great beekeeper should have a keen interest and passion in rearing bees.
An apiarist should know the right place for the beehives. You need certainly to make sure that beekeeping is enabled in your area, if you decide to place your beehives at your backyard. There are several places confined to beekeeping; you should get permission concerning this.
Beekeepers must know whether beekeeping supplies can be found in the region where the beehives are situated. When you should go to a local beekeeping store you may never understand; it is best that a nearby beekeeping shop is reachable.
Protective supplies and equipment may also be very important to beekeepers to know. Understand the appropriate suit to pick to keep you from any possible danger in beekeeping.
Last but definitely not the least, among the beekeeping lessons you should know is that: it's not unimportant for the beekeeper to understand the proper manner of picking honey. All the beekeeping attempts would be futile if you are not able to harvest honey. A beekeeper ought to know the procedures in gathering the honey from your comb; beeswax is also part of the yields in beekeeping.

Last year, my friend Riley decided to throw me a surprise birthday party, which of course I already knew about because none of my friends can keep secrets. We were all enjoying ourselves but soon enough we were hungry, so we had ordered pizza from a local pizzeria down the street. It took about forty-five minutes to arrive and by then we were all starving. When the pizza man finally arrived, we took the pizzas and began to eat. We got down to the last slice quickly and since it was my birthday, my friends decided to let me have it. I was enjoying it and I made sure my friends had all seen how great the last slice tasted, but while I was gloating, I felt something odd floating in my mouth. I quickly pulled out the piece. Attached to it was a long piece of hair. It was the grossest thing that has ever happened to me. I thought that maybe it was mine, but as I looked more closely and tried to pick the hair off the pizza, I realized that the hair was stuck under the pepperoni.
The hair was baked into the pizza. We called the pizza place immediately because my friends and I were obviously very upset and grossed out by this. My friend began to yell at the worker and told him about the hair, expecting a deal or an apology, but all the man said was "There is nothing we can do about it". We were angry for a while, but when they brought out the cake for me, it was quickly forgotten for the night. WE WRITE YOUR RESEARCH PAPERS ON ANY TOPICS! It was a delicious Dairy Queen ice cream cake, my favorite, with Winnie the Pooh drawn on it, and sixteen candles lit. My friend Riley placed the cake down on the table while all my other friends sang 'Happy Birthday' to me. When they were finished, I had to make a wish. I leaned over the cake, thought of my wish, and blew as hard as I could.
I then began to pick off the candles and lick the ice cream off the bottoms one at a time. I bent over to grab the last candle and all of a sudden, my face was in the ice-cold cake. Riley had shoved my head into the cake! I was a little angry, but I decided to make the best out of the situation. Because the cake was ruined, I decided to get her back and throw a little cake her way. That obviously started a food fight. Well we did not just throw the cake. Also thrown were some chips, candy, dip, and along with that Lauren was spraying whipped cream all over. There we were, about ten sixteen-year-old girls having a food fight in the living room of Riley's house. It was a mess, but we also had the time of our lives. Food, as you can see can be very disgusting and you may not enjoy it as much because of the experiences you have had, but it can also be an enjoyable thing. Food brings people together.
My family loves food. We are Italian and therefore have many traditions that we follow. Every year it creates many memories that will last a lifetime. My Nona, which is grandmother in Italian, Jennie Colizza, has to be the greatest cook ever. She can cook anything from pasta and potatoes to soup and chicken. At Christmas time, we get it all. There are around seventy people in my family and my Nona feeds us all on holidays. When my family gets together, it is a very large gathering. There is hardly enough room in the kitchen. When we finally all sit down for dinner, the children and teenagers eat first at a couple large tables and once they are finished it is time for the adults. They get all the food put on the table, such as pasta (two kinds), ravioli, potatoes, salad, crab, ribs, beans, chicken, turkey, soup, only to name a few, whereas the children only get soup and pasta.
I have to eat with the children and teenagers because there are too many adults now, but when we were young, it was very exciting for one of the grandchildren to sit with the adults. Imagine seeing all this and getting to eat as much of it as you wanted to. Each supper I go up to my Dad or my Mom and ask them to get me a bit of food from their table, especially crab and potatoes, my favorite! Everyone eats for an hour or two and then it is time for dishes. This is definitely the worst part of the night, especially at Christmas. Once the table is clear and you look at the counter beside the sink, and beside the stove, and on the side table, there are towers of pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils, everything! The grandchildren have to wash them all. We make an assembly line down the counter where the sink is. There are three people, the washer, the dryer, and the putter-awayer that do dishes at a time. We work in 'loads'.

This was a cartoon that I watched at like 6:45am before school when I was very young. We are talking like pre-school to kindergarten. All I really remember is that Hercules would get his power from a ring. He puts on the ring, some lighting hit it and whammo, we got a Hercules at full power. The other things I remember about this show was a little centaur named Newton who spoke in an annoyingly high pitched voice and another…ah…thing…named Tewt who only spoke using a flute or fife or something. So there you have it. You are all caught up on what this show was about.
Oh and they totally ripped off the image of Hercules to create Superman years later:

Born Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Piero Filiberto Guglielmi.
Valentino was born to Marie Berthe Gabrielle Barbin (1856 -
In 1912, he left for Paris where he spent less than a year before losing his money and asking his mother to send him funds to return to Italy. When he returned to Italy he was unable to secure employment and everyone was sure he would never succeed in life. His uncles decided he should be sent to the United States where they felt he could learn to be a man.
Valentino joined an operetta company that traveled to Utah where it disbanded. From there he traveled to San Francisco where he met the actor Norman Kerry, who convinced him to try a career in cinema. At the time, Valentino had only acted in background scenes of a few movies in New York.
He began to play small parts in quite a few films. He was typically cast as a "heavy" or "gangster". At the time, the epitome of male masculinity was Douglas Fairbanks: fair complexion, light eyes, and an All American look. A leading man should never be too romantic. Thus Valentino was the opposite and seemed "exotic".
By 1919, he had carved out a career in bit parts. It was a bit part as a "cabaret parasite" in drama The Eyes of Youth that caught the attention of the powerful screenwriter June Mathis who thought him perfect for her next movie.
Mathis cast Valentino as a male lead in her next film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which was directed by Rex Ingram. Ingram and Valentino did not get along and it was up to Mathis to constantly keep the peace. Released in 1921, the film was a commercial and critical success and made Valentino a star, earning him the nickname "Tango Legs". It also led to his iconic role in The Sheik and The Son of the Sheik.
Blood and Sand, released in 1922 and co-
To ensure that his name remained in the public eye, Valentino, following the suggestion of his new manager George Ullman, embarked on a national dance tour, sponsored by a cosmetics company, Mineralava, with Rambova, a former ballerina, as his partner. During the show, the couple would dance, a beauty contest would be held, and Valentino would have a chance to talk against the studio followed by a promotion of the products. The tour was a success making him about $7,000 a week. During the same period, he published a book of poetry called From Day Dreams, and had his biography serialized in a movie fan magazine.
On May 14, 1923, while in New York City, he made his first and last record, consisting of "Valentino's renditions" of Amy Woodforde-
During this time period he also traveled to Europe and had a memorable visit to his native town. Back in the United States, he was criticized by his fans for his newly cultivated beard and was forced to shave it off.
In 1925, Valentino was able to negotiate a new contract with United Artists which included the stipulation that his wife Natacha not be allowed on any of his movie sets (it was perceived that her presence had delayed earlier productions such as Monsieur Beaucaire). Shortly thereafter, he separated from Rambova and started dating actress Pola Negri. Around this time, he mended many personal and professional relationships which had been damaged because of Rambova; including his relationship with his "Little Mother" June Mathis.
During this time, he made two of his most critically acclaimed and successful films, The Eagle, based on a story by Alexander Pushkin, and The Son of the Sheik, a sequel to The Sheik, both co-
On August 15, 1926, Valentino collapsed at the Hotel Ambassador in New York City. He was hospitalized at the Polyclinic in New York and underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer. He told his manager George Ullman to contact Rambova, who was in Europe. Upon hearing of his condition, she responded back, and they exchanged loving telegrams, and she believed a reconciliation had taken place. The surgery went well and he seemed to be recovering when peritonitis set in and spread throughout his body. He died eight days later, at the age of 31.

More invitations issued to experienced business owners/entrepreneurs through the latest provincial nominee programs. Recently, 19 Entrepreneur Immigration candidates invited to submit a complete application by the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program on February 27, 2019. The minimum score was 108. Through BC PNP's online application all the selected candidates are required to initially create their profile and register them on the online portal.
In order to register, each candidate has to pay a refundable fee of $300 CAD and submit a short business concept. The points for BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration are based on various factors, which are business ownership/senior management experience, personal net worth, and adaptability. It generally takes up to six working weeks of registration, for the BC PNP to establish accurate scores for the business concept with a maximum cumulative score of 200.
Similarly, the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)'s Entrepreneur Stream is for skilled business owners or senior business managers who want to start or attain a business in the Atlantic Canada province and who plan to convey active and current participation in the day-to-day management and direction of a business. In a draw held on February 19, 2019, 22 immigrant entrepreneur candidates were invited by Nova Scotia to apply for provincial approval.
The stream operates on an Expression of Interest basis and the first step is to register online with the NSNP. Eligible applicants will get their scores based on the stream's well-defined points grid and are ranked accordingly. The lowest score recorded was 112, seen in the draw of February 19, 2019.
The Nova Scotia Nominee Program offers 90 calendar days from the date of issuance to submit the complete profile for an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for an Entrepreneur Approval Letter. Initially, they will be permitted on a work permit basis approved by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC); upon successfully operating the business for a year and abiding the terms of the Business Performance Agreement, the candidate can request for applying a provincial nomination for permanent residence.

Nice fit!
I did a review on the regular length as I am not a tall girl. I'm 5'5". Since these are ankle length I found the tall to fit me better as they sit just at my foot so I can do a small roll or leave them full length. Love the colour and feel of these pants!

The ancient Egyptians used to extract perfume from the flower of this plant and it is popular for aquarium use. The white lotus of the flower is very beautiful, normally pure white although it may also be tinged with pink. The Egyptians used the lotus as a temple offering, funerals and were also commonly worn by women. Given decent lighting and good conditions, it will grow visibly daily although some sources regard it is a slow grower when compared to alternatives. It is normally found on ponds and marshes.
There is nothing special that is really needed to be successful with this plant in your aquarium. Co2 injections or liquid fertilizers should not be needed, although it will grow slightly faster under stronger lighting. Keep in mind the plant will grow to roughly forty-five centimeters and prefers warm, slightly acidic water. For the sake of the Tiger Lotus and your fish, it is important to make sure you keep on top of regular water changes. It is possible to trim the lily pads and just keep the underwater foliage without any negative effect on the health of the lotus if this would be easier in your aquarium.
Planted aquariums generally do better than non-planted ones for the simple reason that plants contribute to keeping the water quality at a high standard. They also compete with algae and cyanobacteria for nutrients which means they can aid you in keeping your aquarium clean. Many species of fish feel safer in a planted aquarium as it gives them somewhere to hide and is a closer resemblance to the natural ecosystem they evolved in. These factors contribute to the overall health of your fish.
Given the right conditions and loving care, Tiger Lotus is a good alternative to more common plants. One of the main reasons to consider using it in your aquarium is that it will offer the same benefits as other plants, but also grows some beautiful flowers. As long as you are attentive to any problems that may develop and choose a nutrient rich substrate your Tiger Lotus will reward you for a long time.
With live aquarium plants, you can overcome all the problems of a non-planted aquarium. You can improve the quality of your aeration, filtration, food and algae control. You can improve the lives of your fish.
