Truth commissions are not a new idea. They have already been used in Latin America as a way of dealing with gross human rights violations after a civil conflict has ended. Such bodies are empowered to grant an amnesty to criminals who confess fully to their actions and can prove that they were politically motivated. Mercy and reconciliation being at the forefront of their philosophy, truth commissions have proved attractive to many church leaders; Archbishop Desmond Tutu chairs the South African commission.
But justice is a gospel imperative too. What happens when the two seem to clash? By allowing murderers and torturers to walk free, truth commissions raise fundamental questions about what is meant by justice. This has become of more than academic interest in Britain over the past two decades, when the word "justice" was increasingly narrowed to mean punishment of the criminal. The populist response to the James Bulger and Myra Hindley cases can give the impression that the severity of punishment should not be the prerogative of an independent criminal justice system but a direct reflection of the popular will. At its worst such populism is catching and results in a desire for "justice" becoming synonymous with a desire for vengeance.
But truth commissions are not institutions of a criminal justice system. Nor are they expressions of the popular will. Indeed the amnesty granted by truth commissions to the perpetrators of serious crimes can be deeply hurtful to victims or victims' families. This is clearly the case in South Africa where this week, despite opposition from the dead man's family, an amnesty was granted to three members of a former South African police hit-squad, led by Dirk Coetzee, who confessed to the murder of the anti-apartheid lawyer Griffiths Mxenge in 1981.
Yet the families of victims are not asked to forego all individual satisfaction in the interests of a broader public good of social reconciliation. Some satisfaction is intended to come from the proceedings. The full disclosure of the truth about what happened to loved ones makes it possible to draw a line under the past; disclosure is needed for a closure of mourning and grief. In the same way as the individual is restored to well-being, it is hoped that society is returned to health. People can begin to make their own histories again instead of being shackled by the past.
The idea of restorative justice is an ancient and biblical one. An "eye for an eye" was not a vengeful prescription but a formula for avoiding two eyes for one, a continuing spiral of violence. Moreover the Jubilee theme of Leviticus holds up the ideal of freeing slaves, forgiving debts and redistributing land, as a cyclical restoration of God's just order.
From a Christian perspective, therefore, apartheid as a crime against humanity cannot simply be dealt with at the level of individual plaintiffs who have suffered crimes against the person. Land was stolen. Millions of forced removals took place into abject housing. Workers were exploited cruelly. Education was grossly discriminatory. What chance genuine reconciliation if such wrongs are not righted? The risk is that what is created is an ersatz form of reconciliation - and that church leaders merely give legitimacy to a process which falls far short of the Christian ideal.
Yet the radical nature of the Christian idea of reconciliation always confronts the realities of political and economic power. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is achieving probably the best that can be achieved in the present South African political context without provoking a violent backlash from the white Right. Britain should learn from South Africa's experience. It will have its own demons to exorcise when, and if, peace comes to the north of Ireland.

Over the past week, the village of al-Aour in the governorate of Minya—home to thirteen of the twenty Coptic Egyptian victims killed by the Islamic State (ISIS) in Libya—has been transformed. The once obscure village has become a site for official delegations and mourners to visit, and offer condolences and support to the bereaved families of the victims. This influx of visitors is new for al-Aour.
The fate of 20 Egyptian Copts, who were kidnapped by masked men in two separate incidents in the Libyan city of Sirte, remains unclear. In the first kidnapping, which took place on December 31, 2014, militants forcefully stopped a microbus transporting Egyptians and kidnapped seven Christians at gunpoint.
Egyptian courts have allowed alleged perpetrators of killings and torture from security agencies to walk free, sometimes without ever appearing in court, while relatives of those killed by police brutality suffer in silence.
On June 5, 2014, an amendment to the Egyptian Penal Code saw the introduction of harassment as a definitive crime. While the amendment does not fully satisfy the aspirations of many stakeholders, who fought for years to enact it (for example, the definition confines harassment to the act of stalking and following the victim, which excludes many acts of verbal harassment), it remains a crucial victory and an achievement worth celebrating.
In a previous article I pointed out four main Challenges for the housing minister in Providing adequate housing to the millions of families seeking their right to an affordable and safe home. Challenges One of these was making Government housing projects workTel.
Local newspapers recently reported that the first batch of sofosbuvir, the new drug for treating the hepatitis C virus (HCV), is expected to arrive in August, and the National Committee for the Control of Viral Hepatitis will start identifying the cases that will receive priority treatment.
In late April, a small group of us from Egyptian NGOs and independent movements attended the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Regional Forum on monitoring places of detention and the prevention of torture in Beirut. The forum brings together people from across the region representing independent NGOs and movements, as well as the national offices of ombudspersons, to exchange experiences and best-practice on monitoring prisons and other detention facilities, with the aim of improving conditions and preventing torture and other ill-treatment.

When the Egyptian army's medical team announced it had invented two devices to detect and cure the viral infections HCV and HIV, it came under a fire of criticism from the scientific community.
The official announcement and subsequent statements by military spokespeople were fiercely ridiculed across social media platforms, but at the same time, others gave a standing ovation.
Amid the conflict currently underway in Egypt—between state authorities led by the military-backed government and the Muslim Brotherhood and their Islamist allies—another momentous battle is being waged over the country's mosques and pulpits. Sermons, religious lessons, and charitable and development activities centered in mosques are an important sphere of influence for Islamist movements of various stripes.

"We Make A Lot Of Money Because There's A Lot Of Lonely Guys": Life In A North Dakota Boomtown
Pennsylvania and North Dakota are both experiencing energy booms powered by hydraulic fracturing technology.
And while drillers are extracting oil, not natural gas, in North Dakota, small communities in both states are both dealing with the same challenges. Among them: how to handle the influx of rig workers – many of them young men with a lot of money and free time – temporarily moving into town.
This has complicated life for women in the region as well.
Many said they felt unsafe. Several said they could not even shop at the local Walmart without men following them through the store. Girls' night out usually becomes an exercise in fending off obnoxious, overzealous suitors who often flaunt their newfound wealth.
"So many people look at you like you're a piece of meat," said Megan Dye, 28, a nearly lifelong Williston resident. "It's disgusting. It's gross."
Prosecutors and the police note an increase in crimes against women, including domestic and sexual assaults. "There are people arriving in North Dakota every day from other places around the country who do not respect the people or laws of North Dakota," said Ariston E. Johnson, the deputy state's attorney in neighboring McKenzie County, in an e-mail.

Letter on Environmental Issues & Sen. Casey Reponse
February 23, 2017 at 5:57 pm , by Alyce Wilson
A couple weeks ago, I sent some letters about environmental issues that had been written by the Environmental Defense fund, including one expressing concerns about Scott Pruitt as the new Environmental Protection Agency administrator. Here is Senator Robert Casey (D-PA)'s response. I appreciate how detailed it is!
Dear Mrs. Wilson:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding environmental policy under the Trump Administration and the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). I appreciate hearing from you about this issue.
President Trump's statements denying the reality of climate change are short-sighted and threaten to undermine the progress that Pennsylvania and the Nation have already made to address environmental issues. His statements ignore the growing evidence that indicates that adding large amounts of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide or methane, to the atmosphere is a leading cause of climate change. Greenhouse gas pollution poses a threat to public health and the environment, particularly for vulnerable populations like children with asthma or the elderly, and failing to act on climate change could lead to, among other things, disruptions in food production, malnutrition, water scarcity and childhood stunting.
We as a Nation have a moral obligation to address this issue. I believe that we must rise to the challenge and revitalize our economy by increasing our efforts in the areas of energy efficiency; developing and adopting cleaner ways of producing electricity; and creating jobs. I support the need for a comprehensive climate change plan and EPA's Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon pollution from new and existing power plants.
As Pennsylvania transitions to clean energy, there must also be a strategy to maintain multiple forms of electricity generation including clean coal, nuclear energy, natural gas and hydropower. In addition, I believe that we should be encouraging the development and deployment of carbon capture and storage technologies, which will enable fossil fuel power plants across the world to dramatically reduce carbon pollution. Finally, it is critical that the Administration and Congress focus on policies that help those workers in the energy sector who have been adversely affected by changes in the energy economy.
On December 8, 2016, President Trump announced he would nominate Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to be the next EPA Administrator. Mr. Pruitt's record is clear: he fought to dismantle the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, anti-pollution programs that target ozone and mercury in the air, the agreement to clean up the Chesapeake Bay watershed and denied the science of climate change. Attorney General Pruitt is also leading the effort to overturn the Clean Power Plan, which is vital to getting control of our energy future and creating clean energy jobs. I do not have confidence, based on Attorney General Pruitt's record, that the EPA under his leadership would enforce our environmental laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. Therefore, I have determined that I will vote to oppose the confirmation of Attorney General Pruitt to be Administrator of the EPA.
Please be assured that I will remain committed to defending sound environmental policies while cultivating new clean energy jobs, re-energizing the manufacturing sector in Pennsylvania and revitalizing the national economy. I will keep your views in mind as the U.S. Senate considers Cabinet nominations, as well as legislation related to climate change.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you.
For more information on this or other issues, I encourage you to visit my website, http://casey.senate.gov. I hope you will find this online office a comprehensive resource to stay up-to-date on my work in Washington, request assistance from my office or share with me your thoughts on the issues that matter most to you and to Pennsylvania.

Response from Rep. Patrick Meehan
February 23, 2017 at 5:27 pm , by Alyce Wilson
Yesterday, I was pleased to receive a response from my congressman, Patrick Meehan, regarding my concerns over possible cuts to the school lunch program and, specifically, to those programs, such as CEP, designed to fund school meals for low-income communities. You can read my letter in my previous post. Now, while his letter doesn't specifically mention CEP, it does indicate that he shares the concerns about funding for school lunches for needy children. Hopefully, he will continue to vote in line with what he says in this letter.
I have now signed up for his newsletter and am also following him on Twitter, so I can keep up to date with news about what he's doing in Congress.
February 21, 2017
Dear Mrs. Wilson,
Thank you for contacting me regarding childhood nutrition. I appreciate hearing from you and having the benefit of your views.
I share your concerns about America's youth and ensuring at-risk kids do not go hungry. I voted against cutting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) because I felt the proposed bill would hurt many of the families and children who the program is intended to help in the first place. Compromise legislation was later reached to ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely and appropriately while meeting our responsibility to needy families. It passed on a bipartisan basis and became law.
As Congress works on Child Nutrition Reauthorization this year, please know that I will keep your concerns in mind as we work to ensure no child in America goes hungry.
Again thank you for contacting me regarding this issue. I appreciate hearing from you. For more information on my work in Congress on your behalf, please visit my website www.meehan.house.gov, where you can sign up for my e-newsletter. Please follow me on Twitter @RepMeehan.

Member of Congress
Letter to Congress on Funding CEP
February 18, 2017 at 2:49 pm , by Alyce Wilson
Recently, I read an excellent article in the Huffington Post about the School Lunch Program and how important it is to continue a little-known aspect of the program, the Community Eligibility Program, established by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The article also referred to high-profile comments from some congressmen about the possibility of defunding the program.
Doing my own research on the program, I learned that roughly 6 million children received free lunches in impoverished school districts back in the 2014-15 school year and, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, that number was expected to increase.
Our legislators will be actively discussing the budget soon. Now is a good time to make certain they understand their constituents' priorities. Following is a letter I sent to both my senators and to my congressman. You can find out how to contact your legislators at at USA.gov.
Feel free to use my letter as a starting point, and to share it with your friends!
Dear Legislator:
As the mother of a first grader, I know the importance of proper nutrition to a child's health. That's why I urge you to look out for low-income children through continued funding of the Community Eligibility Program, established by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-296), which provides free lunches to the most poverty-stricken eligible school districts.
You are no doubt aware that the CEP benefits more than 14,000 high-poverty schools in more than 2,200 school districts across the country, serving more than 6 million children. Because of this program, eligible schools have greatly increased access to healthy meals while reducing paperwork for parents/guardians and administrators alike.
Thanks to the nutrition provided by the CEP, students whose schools use the program benefit from stronger thinking skills, behavior and health, all of which impact academic performance. According to the 2014 paper, "Nutrition and Student's Academic Performance" by Wilder Research, multiple studies have demonstrated the academic benefits of healthy eating, while other studies have shown the negative impacts of junk food on academic performance.
Reducing the funding for CEP would create a hardship for the school districts and children who have come to depend on it. In contrast, continuing full funding of CEP will lead to countless benefits for the children, their schools, and by extension, our nation. Please keep CEP in mind while assessing priorities in upcoming budget discussions in Congress.

Why We Love the Muppets Like Family
November 21, 2015 at 7:30 am , by Alyce Wilson
In honor of one of my Philcon panels today, "Muppets! Muppets! Muppets!" I am reprinting a piece I originally published on the now-defunct Yahoo! Contributor Network.
The new Muppet movie, "The Muppets," will relaunch the brand with the classic characters, along with some new faces. After so many years, the Muppets are like old friends — or better yet, like family. So who's who in our Muppet family?
Kermit the Frog, The Perfect Dad
No matter how perfect your real dad might be, there's no way he's as patient, as gentle, and as understanding as Kermit. The soft-spoken father figure of the Muppet clan leads his misfit crew with TLC, offering support and advice where necessary, mediating disputes, and occasionally sending family members to their (dressing) rooms. Even his rage is cute.
Miss Piggy, The Flamboyant Stepmother
Dad remarries to a glamorous diva who never really wanted children to begin with (unless they're part pig). She insists on being called "Miss Piggy" and will never answer to "Mom." But at times she is a lot of fun: telling stories about the celebrities she's met, demonstrating her martial arts skills, and singing us to sleep with operatic bedtime lullabies.
Gonzo, The Weird Uncle
Just about everyone has one: the uncle whose bachelor pad is festooned with a quirky collection of his personal memorabilia, the one who makes archaic references you don't get but that make your dad go "tsk-tsk." The guy who has absolutely no idea other people think he's odd, even while he's wearing skates, balancing a bowling pin on his head, and juggling chickens. At times, it's hard to believe he's related.
Rowlf the Dog, The Cool Uncle
Rowlf is the uncle who's in a band, gives you backstage passes for his concerts, and teaches you how to play chords. He tells you that you're talented and introduces you to all his cool music-making friends. Even though Kermit is the perfect father figure, there are times you wish that, instead of plinking away on his wimpy little banjo, he'd rock out on the keyboards with a bluesy growl like Rowlf.
Fozzie Bear, The Daydreaming Older Brother
Ever since he was born, older brother Fozzie was convinced he was destined for greatness. Unfortunately, his chosen profession was comedy, and as everybody knows, Fozzie isn't terribly funny. But with plenty of support from dad Kermit (after all, he even put Fozzie in his show), Fozzie continues to follow his dreams. He might still be living in his old bedroom, but he knows one day he'll make it big, get his own place, and bask in the adulation reserved for a star.
Scooter, The Geeky Younger Brother
While Fozzie is a dreamer, Scooter is practical, which is why he helps run the family business, serving as a stage manager for the Muppet Theater. Everybody knows that someday it will be him and not Fozzie who takes over for dad Kermit. He is young but detail-oriented and eager to please. If you need someone to fix your computer, ask Scooter.
Statler and Waldorf, The Wisecracking Grandfathers
Retirement was the best thing to ever happen to Statler and Waldorf; it freed them from any real responsibilities. Now they can just sit back and criticize the world around them. If you listened to just their words, you'd think they hated everything their family does. But as much as they claim that sitting through it is sheer torture, they make sure to get a box seat to every performance.
Philcon 2015 Schedule
November 18, 2015 at 2:33 pm , by Alyce Wilson
Here is my Philcon schedule. I will be attending, even though I am in the midst of mourning my Mom's sudden death. I need a little normalcy, and an emotional break.
My heart will still be with my family, but I look forward to lots of interesting conversations.
Fri 9:00 PM in Plaza V (Five) (1 hour)
[Panelists: Hugh Casey (mod), Alyce Wilson, James Prego, Robert C. Roman, Debra Baker]
Interacting with strangers doesn't come effortlessly for everyone. How do you know when it's acceptable to jump into a conversation? Just as importantly, how can you know when it's time to jump out? How do you leave a good impression on someone you want to…impress? And how do you tell whether someone is actually flirting with you or just being nice?
Sat 10:00 AM in Plaza II (Two) (1 hour)
[Panelists: Suzanne Rosin (mod), Michael McAfee, Christine Norris, Barbara A. Barnett, Alyce Wilson, Matt Black]
Created in 1955, these characters have been in our lives on various TV shows and movies. Now they are back in a new "sitcom". Chat with panelist about your favorite muppets, and their shows. Was it Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Rigel in Farscape, Dinosaurs, The Muppet Show, the movies, the youtube videos? Bring your coffee, wear your pjs, and have a good time
Sat 12:00 PM in Plaza VI (Six) (1 hour)
[Panelists: Deborah Stanish (mod), Andre Lieven, Diane Kovalcin, Alyce Wilson]
Why do people pour money into cosplay outfits, post art and comics online for free, and spend hours crafting stories that they have no intent to publish? Why is there such a push in American society to monetize everything we're capable of, and devalue that which has no price tag on it.
Sat 6:00 PM in Plaza V (Five) (1 hour)
[Panelists: Kyle Williamson (mod), Russ Colchamiro, Alyce Wilson, James Chambers, Steve Vertlieb, Andre Lieven]
2015 was host to seven live-action television adaptions of superhero comic book properties and the rebirth of the Heroes franchise. Which shows "got it right," and which ones made you want to write angry letters to the producers?
Sat 8:00 PM in Plaza II (Two) (1 hour)
[Panelists: Siobhan Carroll (mod), Alyce Wilson, Debra Baker, Savan Gupta]
Why have Alice's adventures through the looking glass remained a classic for so long? What does it have to say to the 21st Century?
5 Must-See Vampire Movies
October 31, 2015 at 8:10 am , by Alyce Wilson
Lesser Known Films for the Vampire Lover
About 20 years ago, I wrote a four-hour radio program about the vampire mythos. In the course of doing research for this show, I watched and read countless vampire movies and stories. Countless vampire movies have been made, ranging from campy to dramatic. Here are a few worth watching.
Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922)
Director: F.W. Murnau
Starring: Max Schreck, Gustav von Wagenheim, Greta Schroder, Ruth Landshoff
Shot on realistic sets in Wismar and Lubeck, Germany, this classic silent film was based on the Bram Stoker novel, Dracula, with minor efforts made to change the names. Therefore, the vampire is called Count Orlock. All copies of the film were ordered to be destroyed due to a legal settlement with the Stoker estate, but a complete copy survived in the possession of one collector.
The special effects are done with simple camera tricks and expressionistic lighting. Even today, however, this film still evokes a feeling of forboding and even terror.
The Spanish version of Dracula (1931)
Director: George Melford
Starring: Carlos Villarias, Lupita Tovar, Barry Norton, Pablo Alvarez Rubio, Eduardo Arozamena
Many people have seen the classic Bela Lugosi version and can quote lines from it. For a brief time in the early days of sound, studios made Spanish versions of movies, starring Spanish actors, instead of simply dubbing the original. The actors used the same sets and sometimes the same costumes, typically shooting at night.
The Spanish version of Dracula is much more compelling and romantic than the Lugosi film, with Villarias as a sensual, charismatic vampire and superior camerawork. Watch both and see if you agree.
The Horror of Dracula (1958)
Director: Terence Fisher
Starring: Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Melissa Stribling, Carol Marsh, John Van Eyssen
The British studio, Hammer Film Productions, put out dozens of low-budget horror films that are, nonetheless, beloved by horror film fans for their artistry, acting, scripts, and lush costumes and scenery. This role made the career of well-known character actor Christopher Lee, who up until then had only played minor roles.
Not all of the Hammer Dracula movies are as good as this first one — some are very campy — but this film is justifiably praised for its modern, sexy and dangerous retelling of the classic Stoker novel. Though he's only on-screen for a short while, Lee's presence is astounding, and Peter Cushing, another veteran character actor, is unforgettable as Van Helsing.
Vampire's Kiss (1988)
Director: Robert Bierman
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Alva Restrepo, Jennifer Beals
This is no doubt the cheesiest movie on this list, and it is a personal favorite because of its different take on the vampire movie. Nicolas Cage plays a businessman who meets a woman in a nightclub (Jennifer Beals) whom he believes is a vampire. The question becomes: was she really, or is he simply going insane?
Cage's hysterics as he deals with the results of his encounter are highly entertaining. The script by Joseph Minion is highly quotable. Just don't expect to take this film too seriously.
Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
Director: E. Elias Merhige
Starring: John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier, Cary Elwes, Catherine McCormack.
It's a good idea to watch Nosferatu before seeing this movie, because it tells the fictionalized tale of the making of that film. According to this account, the actor playing Count Orlock, Mac Schreck, was so convincing because he was, indeed, a vampire. At times black comedy, at times horror film, and at times meta-film about the filmmaking process, the movie easily draws viewers into this isolated, strange world.
Willem Dafoe does a terrific job as Mac Schreck, which is little surprise, since the role was written specifically for him. Udo Kier, incidentally, once played the count himself, in Andy Warhol's Dracula, a.k.a. Blood of Dracula (1974). This film captures the look of the original amazingly well, and in many ways is just as scary.
Creative Halloween Party Ideas
October 31, 2015 at 7:54 am , by Alyce Wilson
Everyone's favorite spooky holiday is right around the corner. If you're planning to throw a Halloween shin-dig, consider spicing up your celebration with some of these ideas.
Dead Man's Party
Ask your guests to come as their favorite dead celebrity or historical figure. Encourage them to think outside of the box and get as creative as they like. When they arrive, ask them to create a tombstone for their character on a piece of tombstone-shaped cardboard. Display these around the party. Have your guests vote on the best costume and award the winner a door prize, such as a small pumpkin filled with candy or a novelty trophy purchased at a party supply store.
Invasion of the Zombies Party
Tell your guests to wear old clothes they don't care about, because things could get messy, but don't give away the surprise. Tell one or two of your guests about your plans ahead of time, and make them up as zombies: First cover the face with white or extremely light pancake makeup. You can also use liquid makeup from a costume store, but cover it with white powder to prevent smearing. Use dark gray or black eyeshadow or Halloween makeup around the eyes to create a sunk-in look. Apply fake blood as desired to the face and clothing. Give them a scissors and encourage them to "zombify" their outfit by creating tears or holes. Used coffee grounds are good for adding a "freshly crawled from the grave look."
Once they are zombified, encourage them to mingle with the guests. One by one, the zombies will hand each person a slip of paper which reads, "You've been bitten. Follow me to complete your zombie transformation." They will then guide the new zombies into a room set up with makeup supplies, where your guests can zombify themselves. It would be helpful to place a set of written instructions in a prominent place so that each zombie doesn't have to stay and supervise the next one's transformation.
By the end of the evening, your entire party will be transformed. Or perhaps two or three guests will find themselves the last surviving humans, surrounded by a throng of zombie hoards.
Haunted House with a Twist
The traditional way to decorate for a party on All Hallow's Eve is, of course, to create a haunted house. Try these fun alternatives to keep your party interesting.
Haunted Las Vegas
Dim the lights and either use strings of plastic pumpkin lights for lighting or find another safe alternative (avoid candles, since they are easy to knock over accidentally). Cover several tables with green cloth and turn them into gaming tables for Blackjack and Poker. Either ask some friends to serve as dealers or encourage guests to do so themselves. The host or hostess can dress up as an undead casino owner, who will make it clear to guests that they are gambling, not for money, but for their souls!
Haunted Luau
Blend the expected elements for a Halloween and a beach party to produce a hysterical hybrid. Some ideas include using tropical-inspired linens, orchids, and tropical flowers. Offer guests spooky versions of Hawaiian tropical drinks, such as the "Boo Hawaii" (instead of Blue Hawaii). You can find a guide to alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, and luau food, in this About.com article. Toss around an inflated beach ball, decorated with a marker to look like a Jack-o-Lantern. Create your own leis from craft store supplies, such as a string of autumn leaves or a chain of skulls. Carve a pumpkin for a centerpiece and place it on a "surf board" made of cardboard (or place it on the floor on a skateboard).
Follow these ideas, and your Halloween party will be the talk of the town.
I'm Back!

Time has a way of slipping away, especially when you are the work-at-home mother of a busy 5-year-old, as well as being the editor of a weekly literary magazine (Wild Violet) and the head of Press Relations for Otakon.
I never intended it to be so long between entries, but I intend to get back in the game. In fact, I even have a plan.
When the Yahoo! Contributor Network closed its doors last year, the rights to all of the material I'd published with them reverted to me. I spent weeks laboriously downloading all of my articles, then left them in a folder, unsorted and forgotten.
This week, I began looking through them and discovered quite a bit of "evergreen" material which should still interest readers. My goal is to republish material in this blog related to writing, literature, pets, lifestyle and pop culture. I will republish material related to parenting in my book project blog, BelatedMommy.com.
Occasionally, I will also provide some insights on my latest writing project, a book of essays about my growing boy. If you're interested in these topics, please consider subscribing to the blog, and you'll receive a notification every time a new article goes online.
I'm looking forward to a more productive rest of the year!
Felix and the DreamWorld Sample
November 23, 2014 at 8:03 am , by Alyce Wilson
In honor of my children's reading at Philcon, I am making a free sample of my upcoming short story collection, working title Felix and the DreamWorld Bandits and Other Stories, available via Smashwords. Please check it out and write a review!
Felix Discovers the DreamWorld and Other Stories
In this book for young readers, Felix learns about the DreamWorld from his mother: a place where you can do anything and go anywhere. With a child's eye for the absurd, he explores this land with his best friends, a robot named Hobart and a dinosaur named Drusus. Felix and his friends fight a dragon, meet a unicorn, and learn that the DreamWorld offers surprises Felix could never have imagined while awake.

Thank you very much!
The Forum office was overwhelmed with applications. At this point, we are no longer able to accept applications for the 2017 program. All applications received will be put on a waitlist for next year.
Are you a participant who is missing information?
Only if you were accepted to Forum and are missing registration information. Please click here for another copy of the email we sent you:
Meeting decision-makers where the decisions get made.
This includes:
- Visits to the House of Commons and Senate with the Speakers of each House as well as Clerks and pages. They show you how the institution works before getting to see Question Period live in action.
- There is a reception where MPs are invited to come meet and chat with participants. We invite all MPs and last year over 100 MPs came to at least one reception. The Prime Minister came to two events.
- There is a breakfast at the Senate with Senators. It's a chance to ask them what they do.
- There is a visit to Rideau Hall, residence of the Governor General, which is a great opportunity learn about his role and responsibilities.
* All sessions are unique with different decision-makers coming. We cannot guarantee who will be there during your session.
There are multiple simulations over the course of the week that allow you to understand how the decisions get made by taking part in them.
These include:
- A full election: What if there was a world parliament and Canada only had 1 seat? Participants create a party, pick a candidate, write and present speeches, make posters, campaign and then vote using real elections materials from Elections Canada.
- A Cabinet simulation: How does Cabinet decide? Each participant becomes a Minister (of Environment, Defence, Finance, etc.) and must defend their ministry's point of view when discussing a topic. The Cabinet must then make a decision.
- A world trade simulation: How does Canada trade internationally and grow businesses? A trip to Export Development Canada and a tailor-made game showcase how!
- A provincial-federal simulation: How do the provinces negotiate with the provinces. Everybody goes into the group of the province where they are from and then you have to negotiate with the other provinces and the federal government.
* The simulations are constantly being updated and may be different during your session.
Who can participate?
Any 15 to 19 year-old Canadian students who are interested in politics and leaders in their communities. Your high school or Cégep will need to allow you time off school to attend the program.
How many spots are there?
The week-long program includes a maximum of 120 students per session. There are three sessions in the 2016-2017 program year.
Forum Program Dates
What is the cost?
The $895 participation covers:
- hotel accommodation (triple occupancy) at an Ottawa hotel,
- travel costs are provided by the Department of Canadian Heritage through its Exchanges Canada program,
- all meals during the program, beginning with dinner on Sunday and ending with breakfast the following Friday,
- instructional materials,
- transportation by bus within Ottawa and special activities such as the Members' of Parliament Dinner, Senators' Breakfast, and closing dinner.
- If funding the trip is a challenge for you, there are bursaries available for qualifying students. There's also a good chance you could find sponsors in your community to support this unique educational opportunity.

I haven't watched it yet, (nor last weeks for that matter) but as long as it has got the gorgeous Welsh strumpet running about then it is deffo necessary.
It must be another manifestation of the BBC operating in a left-leaning comfort zone" and displaying its innate liberal bias by foisting such rubbish on us the paying public. Having said that I am also fucked if I know what you are going on about haveing not seen it either
I don't watch Torchwood, because it's gash. But I happened to turn over last night at the point where the main character was having some gay love row with some fella. I didn't even twig that it was Torchwood. I assumed it was some gay period drama. I assume this is what the fuss is about?
I only watched the first two episodes, it got on my nerves though so I binned it. I liked the last one they did "The children of Earth" but this new effort is trying to be a cross between 24 and Lost and missing the mark by miles. Gash.
An awful load of shite featuring some fat Welsh people and a very gay bloke in an unfeasibly big coat. Only slightly redeemed by perhaps the finest ginger on the planet.
I had to endure watching some of it last night with Mrs Iron and my daughter, the question is was it Jarrod or Barryman (or what ever his name is who plays Jack) who wrote it with the ammount of gay scenes. Thank god for the ginge above as if the only offering the Welsh can have of a babe is that ugly bint then no wonder they shag sheep.
Of course it is you should try living on the f@cking set, Can't get served in the pub some days for all the F@cking aliens,coppers,dead people,extras ect
Sooooo much to say about that, but won't. I thoroughly enjoy man on man on the television as its far removed from reality. For instance, when engaged in a rool about the floor in a 69 with a hairy backed gentleman, a nistril full of butt musk and a cheeky trump never seem to get coverage. You never here them say 'Fuckin ell mate, when did you last clean your bellend' or 'Diven't bum us yet am prairie dogging'

UK regional Xbox director Neil Thompson feels parents still fail to grasp that modern consoles aren't "toys." Thompson, who is also a member of ELSPA, explained to MCV that "every responsible member of the video game industry" needs to play an active role in keeping the education process "front of mind." He is speaking specifically about letting parents know that each console has content filters and other specialized tools for them.
So, sit down this weekend with a clueless parent (obviously, that wouldn't be a parent who reads this site) and educate them on responsible console ownership with children. Or, if you'd like to be more passive aggressive, send them the link to the ESRB's resource page on how to set up parental features.

Oil companies need to be sure this is going to last, otherwise nothing will be done. BTW in will take longer than a year, more like 10 years before we get oil from there, but still worth it.

10 years my ass. you have no idea what your talking about, your just bleating out what you have heard others say. as for this lasting. unless china and india go back to the stoneage, oil will continue to be in high demand.

Yes, 10 years is what I have heard various oil executives say it would take them. You think they have no idea what they are talking about?

i think that they are bullshitting us. i know it takes my dad and uncle about 80 days to drill a onshore deep oil well, and it took them well under a year to get their big rig up and running. I think if the money is there, and it is, the oil companies will be drilling offshore by the year 2010.
September 24th, 2008, 12:11 PM | #12 |
the longest I have heard was 4 years. I think the price affect would happen before drilling even starts though.

the price may drop a little, but it will never be where it was. the price needs to drop down and stabilize. we in the oil business stand to profit more if it does.

Aren't we all just bleating out what others have said? Off shore oil. If you knew exactly where it was and had the equipment and personnel on hand then I am sure it will be relatively quick to bring product to market. But, the reality is, they are not 100% sure where it is, they still have to locate the best places to drill. The equipment is not off the self drilling rigs and the personnel are not coming from the unemployment roles. I heard somewhere that getting the rigs built and shipped here could take years because of existing contracts. There are companies in the U.S. already. Contracts are in place to replace and repair existing rigs. This will take time. Hopefully less time than some say, but it will take time. Funny how "experts" can have differing opinions. And I am talking real "experts", not the ones found on websites. |

to give you an idea of how hard oil is to find, my dad and i can find it with a long metal spring on a handle and a weight on one end. if you don't believe me, come visit one of our oil wells. drilling for oil is like sticking straws in a soda, once you know where it is, sink holes like crazy. |

More Pelosi BS:
http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/yourlife/111202 Drill, Baby, Drill by Ben Stein Remember a few months ago when oil was heading ever higher, gasoline reached unheard of prices, and Americans were essentially hysterical? Remember when Americans demanded, actually screamed in the politicians' ears that we wanted to drill in our offshore areas? Remember when poll after poll said Americans wanted to pass over the objections from multi-millionaire beachfront movie star home owners and actually do something for the good of America as a whole? Remember the politicians promising they would heed the words of their constituents? Well, the politicians apparently don't remember it at all. Amazingly, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives gave the American people a firm slap in the face while it planted a big wet sloppy kiss on the lips of Hollywood's glitterati. On September 16th, the House of Representatives narrowly passed Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comically named "Access" Bill. This past Saturday, the Senate approved the lifting of the 26-year ban on new offshore oil drilling. In the guise of doing what America wants Speaker Pelosi's bill does the following: * Places off limits areas within fifty miles of the coast line, where 80 percent of the oil and gas deposits are. This bill, if it becomes law, will place these energy rich areas off limits permanently. * Places off limits such energy rich areas as the Destin Dome off Florida and the super-rich areas off the coast of California on a permanent basis. * In a gesture of what she probably thought was courage, Speaker Pelosi allows drilling on seven percent of the acreage offshore in the most difficult, deep water areas, one hundred or more miles offshore. * If state legislatures sign on, drilling would be allowed in a further 12 percent of the untapped areas between 50 and 100 miles offshore -- again, difficult areas to explore and difficult areas in which to drill. This is a bad joke. Why are we doing this to ourselves? What is the utility of making us ever weaker, more vulnerable, and dependent upon people who hate us? This is a bill that cries out for veto or massive revision. It's just a bill to curry favor with the beautiful people, not with ordinary citizens. It is exactly what we do not need, which is vastly more drilling and production of American oil and gas in American waters.
This is the Pub. Leave common sense at the door. |

Voyage To Jerryworld: Cowboys-Eagles Game
Aiiiight, let me start this off by just saying that I�m long winded. Feel free to go straight to the slideshow & pics I took at the Cowboys-Eagles game and ignore the dialogue. You�ve been warned.
Voyage To Jerryworld: Pic Set
Voyage To Jerryworld: Slideshow
a few of my previous trips
Day in the Life of a True Celtics Fan - NBA Finals Edition
Day in the life of a die hard Celtics fan
Day in the life of a die hard Cowboys fan
Destination � Eagles vs Cowboys Wild Card playoff game
Location � Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, TX
Time � 8PM EST/7PM CST
Sunday Jan 3, 2010
� Cowboys smashed the Eagles 24-0 taking the NFC East title. This set up a re-match for the Wild Card game at Cowboys Stadium for Sat. Made a few calls to some partners to see who was interested in going to the game in Big D.
Mon Jan 4, 2010 � Tues Jan 5, 2010
� Checked flights from DC, but none were under $459. Hoped to catch an e-saver when they came out on Wed.
Wednesday Jan 6, 2010
� Checked flights in the morning, saw that US Airways had a RT for $211. Booked it. Went back to ticket sites StubHub & NFL TicketExchange and purchased the best single seat available in lower level. Informed the bojangling 'friends' that I was leaving them and going solo since they were shucking & jiving. Made other necessary reservations for rental car & prepaid parking at off stadium location and was ready to roll.
Saturday Jan 9, 2010
� 11:37am - Arrived at DCA airport, parked car at $12 lot and caught shuttle to terminal.
� 12:02pm - Breezed through security, although agents (clearly Redskins fans) harassed me during the entire process. When I got to the gate, it was a sea of blue & silver. At least 30 other Cowboys fans were there already. There were only 2 dudes there with Eagles gear on. They caught hell.
� 12:08pm - Pilot came through and said "Look at all these Dallas cockroaches" and gave five to the 2 Eagles fans.
� 12:44pm - Boarded plane en route to DFW. Sat next to a young girl who reminded me of Peppermint Patty. She paid me no mind while knitting, but she was coughing up a lung. I took cover quickly.
� 1:52pm - Flight attendants served up some cranberry apple juice. That was the perfect complement to some homemade oatmeal cookies I had brought with me.
� 4:20pm - Arrived safely at DFW. It was freezing!!!!! I swear the temps were colder than the weather I had just left in DC. Called wife letting her know I made it safely, stood outside for a sec and caught the Alamo shuttle to their location. Scooped up a nice looking Malibu and was on my way.
� 4:40pm - 5:26pm � Followed the directions via Google Maps on the Blackberry while listening to Jets-Bengals game on radio. Drove to First United Methodist Church where the parking reservation was for, showed them my prepaid $25 receiptd for parking & jumped on their shuttle to stadium.
� 5:41pm � Ahhhhhhhh�. The arrival at Jerryworld!!!!! From the outside, that joint was amazing. I had been past during the construction a year prior, but was amazed at the monstrosity before me now. The excitement was building.
� 5:45pm-7:50pm � Just soaked in the experience. Walked around the stadium, located my seat, gave high fives to random folks, talked trash to Philly fans and took a ton of pics with my DSLR camera. The big screen aka The Jerrytron was dope!!!!
� 7:53pm � Located my seat, said what�s up to folks in and around my row
� 7:58pm - Eagles enter. Chorus of loud booooooooooos�
� 8:00pm - Cowboys arrive. Yesssssir!!!!
� 8:03pm � Ted Nugent performed National Anthem with an electric guitar solo. The joint was tight.
� 8:06pm � Opening Kickoff. Talk about a fever pitch.
� 8:42pm � First strike, Tony Romo to John Phillips with a 1 yd TD pass, Cowboys 7-0
� 8:47pm � Didn't enjoy that TD for too long. Vick hits Maclin on a 76 yd pass. Jenkins fell down. The stadium got suddenly quiet. Eagles fan 3 rows in front starts running his mouth and taunting. Tied 7-7.
� 9:09pm � Cowboys strike back. Tashard Choice with a 1 yr TD run. Cowboys 14-7
� 9:20pm � Eagles fumble on 18. Suisham kicks 25 yd FG. Cowboys 17-7
� 9:30pm � Tony Romo to Miles Austin with a 6 yd TD pass. I holler "Where you at playa???" down to Eagles dude who was popping off at the mouth. He glances back with�Yeaah aiiight, you got it man�. Cowboys 24-7
� 9:48pm � Eagles fumble again. Suisham kicks 48 yd FG. Cowboys 27-7.
� 9:58pm� 10:13 � Halftime. Took more pics, celebrated on the concourse with random fans. Hollered, jumped around and acted like a fool.
� 10:28pm � Definitely the highlight of the night. Felix Jones with a 73 yd TD run. Once he got the ball, he was gone!!! Straight smoked the entire Eagles D. Mayhem broke out in the stands. Cowboys 34-7.
� 10:32pm � Trash talkin� Eagles dude turned into a punk. Cat actually got up, grabbed his stuff and left from his seat amidst a loud chorus of cheers. No heart. Of course I hollered "Where you going... you leaving us so soon?" in my 'mommy cares' voice.
� 10:51pm � McNabb throws a meaningless 4 yd TD pass to Jackson. Cowboys 34-14
� 11:06pm � Desean Jackson drops back to receive a punt along the goal line. I holler out �Ayyyy Desean� who�s azz is stinging nowwwwwwwww chummmmp!!!�
� 11:34pm � Final: Cowboys 34 Eagles 14. First playoff victory since �96. Celebration begins. The sounds of Lil� Flip�s Game Over plays throughout the stadium. When is the last time you heard that joint? LOL�.
� 11:37pm - Some random woman came up, stood patiently while I taunted some folks and then asked me if I had a girlfriend. A girlfriend? What is this HS? I flashed the wedding ring, she smiled and kept it movin'.
� 11:40pm-12:31am � Hung around stadium. Took more pics & joked on Eagles folks who were still around . Hollered, high fived, hugged & dapped up every single person I saw who was wearing Cowboys gear.
Sunday Jan 10, 2010
� 12:35am � 12:56am Got outside and couldn�t remember where shuttle was. Walked all the way around stadium. Temps were in low 20�s. Decided to catch cab back to church.
� 1:04am � Arrive back to rental car. Lady from church says �Ohhhh honey, the shuttle is at stadium waiting for you�. I explained to her that I lost my bearings of where I was and just took a cab. Talk about feeling like an idiot.
� 1:10am-2:30am � Drove around & bar hopped with fellow Cowboys fans. Somehow it wasn�t quite like DC. Remember the scene from 48 Hrs when Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) walked into the redneck bar? That�s kinda how I felt.
� 2:38am � Drove to Denny�s for some eats. It was the first time I had eaten since the plane ride to Dallas. No joke, I can�t eat or drink when adrenaline is pumping at Cowboys games. I forget all about hunger or thirst in the energy of the moment. But I tore up that Grand Slam breakfast at 3am. I sat up in that spot for like 90 min with a terrible migraine.
� 4:33am � Had to gas the rental back up. It was deadly cold outside. Temp gauge in car showed 14 degrees. That was crazy for North Texas!!!!
� 4:40am � 5:33am Arrived back at Alamo & took a nap in the warm car.
� 5:38am � Took shuttle from Alamo to terminal. Did the security thing & went to gate for 7am flight back to DC.
� 5:44am � 6:32am� Sat and talked to a few Cowboys fans who had been on the exact same flight with me from DC. A lot of them were just as amped as I was.
� 6:39am � Boarded plane for flight back to the District.
� 7:02am-7:31am � Plane sat on runway, then had to return to have wings de-iced.
� 11:18am - Plane landed at DCA. Called the wife to advise her I was headed home, caught shuttle to the lot where my car was, paid the bill and hit the road.
� 12:21pm � 6 something pm� Arrived back home, watched Patriots-Ravens game and some of Cardinals-Packers game. Crashed!!!
� 2 something am � Woke-up realizing that the crash had taken place. LOL!!!!
The End.................................

Bitcoincharts is now forcing SSL on every connection. Unfortunately, there aren't many trustable CAs out there. Therefore I decided to use CAcert. CAcert is a community where members verify each other's identity. That means there have been a few dozen people who have met me in person and verified my personal ID documents. I think this fits Bitcoin very well as opposed to centralized CAs.
However, there's a slight problem. CAcert's Root Certificates aren't in included in browsers yet so your computer might warn you about connecting to an untrusted site. I'd kindly like ask you to consider installing CAcert's Root Certificates: https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 This will allow your browser to verify the certificate chain and avoid the warning.
If this poses too much trouble for users (i.e. traffics drops considerably) I'll consider getting a "normal" SSL certificate.

Getting your tennis serve toss where you want it will improve your serve. Learn how to play beginner tennis from our expert instructor in this free sports video.
Video transcription
Okay, the toss, the purpose of the toss is to get the ball in good position so you can hit the serve. So if I toss the ball way over my head, I'm not going to be able to hit that serve very comfortably. So you want to learn to toss it right up there so you can hit the ball consistently. Take any other sport, if you watch golfers, they're going to line the ball up where they can hit it. So in tennis you want to get the toss right where you can hit it comfortably for the serve that you want to hit. Now the toss looks pretty easy to the casual player, which is why nobody ever practices it. But if you practice your toss just a little bit, your toss will improve, and when your toss improves, guess what? Your serve improves, because it's a lot easier to hit the ball right there every time than it is, one time over there, one time over there. So what I've done is I've rigged up a little practice device on the fence here. This is just a hanger. You can go and get a little basket or whatever. But what I want people to do, you just take a ball, and you just toss it through the hoop, which isn't as easy as it looks even for somebody that has practiced as much as me. It still isn't that easy. So you want to just practice like that, or you can come out here and just try to make a basket. So if you do this, your toss will improve dramatically. There's a lot more technical issues with the toss, but if you just start with learning to toss it up into a target, you'll be amazed at how quickly your toss improves, and your serve.

As a reward for your patience I will share this amazing video today. What sets it apart is incredibly real feeling that comes from it. The girls from this high school orgy don't only look as high schoolers they also ACT like highschoolers teasing among themselves, chatting, naturally laughing, etc. Because of that it will really feel like you're back at school. Just nastier one. ;)

The LCD monitor is now the standard, in terms of monitors. LCD technology has replaced the CRT technology in today's PC systems. A liquid crystal display screen is comprised of liquid crystals inside of a thin screen that is illuminated by a background light source. While you cannot take an LCD monitor and make it literally transparent, you can use photo-editing software to create an interesting effect, making it appear transparent.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Digital camera
- Image editing software
Show More
- 1
Create an intriguing scene behind the LCD monitor, such as an attractive poster, or other constructed objects. Ensure that they are seen sticking out from behind the LCD monitor.
- 2
Move the LCD monitor away from object or objects, as you want a clear, direct view of the object or objects. This will aid you in creating the transparent effect.
- 3
Set your digital camera to the highest resolution possible, and take pictures of the objects. You should align the pictures to eye-level from your desk chair. This may be difficult, so take as many pictures as possible, to achieve this.
- 4
Replace the LCD monitor, so that you can edit the pictures and finalise the effects.
- 5
Open an image editing application, and open the camera images. You will need cropping, gamma contrast and saturation features, in addition to opening the images in full screen mode.
- 6
Select the camera image that best matches the object scene behind the monitor.
- 7
Crop the image and change the proportions of the image, so that it matches the dimensions of the scene behind the LCD monitor.
- 8
Edit the colour of the image, in terms of gamma, contrast and saturation, so that it will fully match the colours of the object scene behind the monitor. This will take a lot of trial and error.
- 9
Select the image as the background of your desktop. Right-click it and select "Set as Background" from the drop-down menu. This will make the LCD monitor appear transparent, as it is set against the scenery you chose. The icons on the desktop will appear as if they are floating.

Sleeping in contacts might seem like a fairly innocent habit, but it has very serious consequences. Chad Groeschen, a 39-year old man from Cincinnati, developed a severe bacterial infection after sleeping in his prescribed contacts. Chad said he woke up one morning and noticed his vision had begun to cloud over. After visiting doctors, he received the terrible news that he would lose vision in his left eye.
According to doctors, people that sleep in contacts are 10 times more likely to develop a serious eye infection. A recent study found that about 50 percent of contact wearers regularly sleep in contacts. Chad's story can be a lesson to many and hopefully prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.

Today, I'm about to write about one of the oldest feature requests for the Console component: the possibility to hook during the lifecycle of a command execution. I have been delaying this feature for a long time as I did not want to introduce a hard dependency between the Console component and the Event Dispatcher component.
But as of Symfony 2.3, you can listen to several events that are dispatched by the main console application:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | use Symfony\Component\Console\Application;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcher;
$dispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
$application = new Application();
Note that events are only dispatched if you inject an event dispatcher.
Three events are automatically dispatched:
lets you do something before a command is executed;ConsoleEvents::TERMINATE
lets you perform some cleanup actions after the command has been executed;ConsoleEvents::EXCEPTION
lets you handle exceptions thrown during the execution of a command.
If you want to see some code example, read the full documentation about this new feature in the Console component documentation.

Leader Theatre
212 1/2 Virginia Avenue Cumberland, Maryland |
From what I can tell, the old
Leader Theatre is no longer standing. Using
the New Theatre as a reference point, it appears the
empty lot next to the boarded up old hall is just
about where the Leader would have been. There were
actually three theatres, over the years, in this
block of South Cumberland, the Leader, Lloyd and
New. Several nickelodeons were also located on
Virginia Avenue in South Cumberland in the early
movie days a few blocks South.

Border Reivers
From Hoka Hey Wargaming ´s superb range of figures, sculpted by the late Jim Bowen and previously sold by Monolith under the Graven images label.
I really enjoyed painting these fine fellows, who now occupy a place of honour in my modest collection.
Special thanks to Alan Rudd, Overlord of Hoka Hey Wargaming and Extraordinary Gentleman :D
5 comentários:
Thanks Dean :) These figures are extremely well sculpted and are indeed full of character - each one seems to have a distinct "persona". Yes, those are graphic novels - "Passengers of the Wind" , by Bourgeon; "Adventures of Lt. Blueberry" by Charlier & Giraud, "Axle Munshine", by Godard & Ribera, and some others by Moebius ( Giraud´s sci-fi "alter ego") Bilal, EP Jacobs, etc... and, of course, "Tintin" and "Astérix" :) Happy New Year!
ResponderEliminarThank you for your kind words there Rogerio ....Paint job on the figures is fantastic .... Happy New Year to you and Renata .. speak soon Alan ( Hoka Hey Wargaming)
