Concert Review: Chris Cagle Gets "Back in the Saddle" with Haley & Michaels in San Jose, California
When KRTY announces that they are putting on a show that will blow you away, it's not just hot air.
For the past few weeks, the Bay Area country music scene has been waiting for Chris Cagle to descend upon San Jose, and his latest trip to the Rodeo Club. Cagle has been here before, and he will no doubt be back again, but in speaking with some "newbies" to the club last night before the show, they weren't sure what to expect. They had never been to a KRTY show (blasphemy!) and had never seen Cagle live before.
Naturally I told them that they were in for a night that they'd never forget…and I'm not just saying that because we are Phi Delta Theta fraternity brothers. The guy is literally one of the hardest working performers in country music and ALWAYS puts on a show to be remembered for his fans. Not to mention he's a great follow on Twitter at @chriscagle.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Before Cagle took the stage around 9:45 p.m., we were treated to a set by the up-and-coming duo Haley & Michaels (Shannon Haley & Ryan Michaels).
So here's the story on these two. It turns out that they grew up only a few miles apart here in Northern California, but get this, they didn't know each other until well after they separately started their country music careers in Nashville. Shortly after meeting they began singing and writing together and discovered they had a great connection.
What I love about Haley & Michaels is that they have this mix of vocals and harmonies that carry them through their set. You probably know them from their debut single "Just Another Love Song", which of course was the highlight of their performance. Naturally, the crowd at the Rodeo Club was singing along to every note.
The folks at KRTY have been standing firmly behind Haley & Michaels, as I've seen them a few times now and each time I feel as though I enjoy them more and more. They may not be a household name to you just yet, but they have been touring with and opening shows for major acts including Brett Eldredge, Parmalee, Clint Black, Hank Williams Jr., Dustin Lynch and Martina McBride.
If you see them on the bill as an opening act, make sure you're not late to the show. You won't be disappointed. BTW they are getting married next month so make sure to stop by their Facebook page and give them your best wishes!
Speaking of not being disappointed, if there is one country music artist that is guaranteed to not disappoint, it certainly would be Chris Cagle.
What can I say…I've been a fan of Cagle dating back to his debut album, Play it Loud. And what's not to love. We're talking "My Love Goes On and On", "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" and my personal favorite "Laredo". Some classic songs from a great album that you still hear on the radio today.
On this night, Cagle pulled out all of the stops. Whether it's a club show or a much larger venue, Cagle knows what it takes to be an entertainer. And that's what the KRTY crowd was treated to…entertainment. From the moment he took the stage, until the band took their final bows, it was a non-stop mix of country, rock and rolls and emotional ballads.
I'll admit, I've never seen an artist overcome with so much emotion during a show. During a short pause while performing "Miss Me Baby", the San Jose crowd let Cagle know exactly how much they appreciated him. Without exaggeration, he was given a 5-6 minute standing ovation that went "on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on" (sorry, I had to do it). You could see in his eyes that he truly appreciated the love from the crowd, needing to step back a few times to withhold tears.
It really was a magical moment, and one that this artist deserved after so many years of doing what he does for us, the country music listener. These are the types of moments that you get when you come to the Rodeo Club…and I thank KRTY for bringing him to town so I can experience them.
The rest of the set was exactly what you would expect. We were treated to classic Cagle, as well as a few new songs including "Got My Country On" and "I'll Grow My Own" from his latest album "Back in the Saddle" which concluded the set. Normally, like most people, when the new stuff comes on, I kind of tune out a little. But not this time. I really liked "I'll Grow My Own". It was a good choice to conclude the set…knowing that he and the band had to come out for at least one more song.
For the encore, Cagle went old school southern rock, courtesy of some Lynyrd Skynard. While it may have been a Thursday night, it quickly became a "Saturday Night Special" at the Rodeo Club. Most people that choose a Skynyrd cover song would pull out "Sweet Home Alabama", "That Smell" or even "Freebird", but I love the fact that the band went another direction.
As expected, "Chicks Dig It" closed out the set. And why not. It's a great song…one that the audience can sing along to every word of and how can you not have a smile on your face at the same time. It's the story of a guy who has always done various stunts (most of the time injuring himself in the process) in attempts to impress women, because the "chicks dig it".
OK guys, raise your hand if you're guilty of that. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
What can I say that I haven't said already. From Haley & Michaels, to Chris Cagle (and his band of course), this was another great night of entertainment.
Thank you again to Nate Deaton, Julie Stevens, Tina Ferguson, Gary Scott Thomas, Randy Jones, Indiana Al and the rest of the folks at KRTY for putting on another hell of a night.There's a reason why KRTY is the number one country music station in the Bay Area. It's because of the people that work there that put their heart and soul into their jobs and make sure that their audience is treated to the best that country music has to offer.
But don't forget, it's also because of you (and me)…the listeners who come out to the shows and listen every day. I love coming back to the Bay Area for shows like this and I can't wait for the next one! I've got my sights on James Wesley on April 29.
If you're looking for a few upcoming shows, don't miss Frankie Ballard (with Clare Dunn) on April 22 and Maddie and Tae (with Logan Mize) the following night on April 23. Both shows take place at the Rodeo Club. Don't say I didn't warn you!

What is the new birth and when does it occur?
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said him, "Most assuredly , I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of of God."(NKJV)
In order for someone to be spiritually reborn; there of necessity has to be a death occur. When does the death and rebirth occur?
Romans 6: 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (NKJV)
When believers in Jesus Christ are buried literally and symbolically in water baptism with Him, they die and are raised to walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:6 know this, that our man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.(NKJV)
The old man dies when repentant believers in Christ are buried in water baptism and then the new birth occurs.
Romans 6:7 For he who who died has been freed from sin (NKJV)
Believers in Christ are not freed from sin until they are buried with Jesus Christ in water baptism. Yes, water baptism is a literal burial, an immersion in water and a symbolic burial as well.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.(NKJV)
This rebirth takes place when a repentant believer in Jesus Christ is immersed in water.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (NKJV)
Born again of water—–baptized. Born again of Spirit—-the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Sam Dolnick Promoted to Assistant Editor
Sam Dolnick will join The Times's masthead as an Assistant Editor and a key member of the newsroom's leadership team. Below is the note sent to staff by executive editor Dean Baquet and managing editor Joseph Kahn:
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that Sam Dolnick — an award-winning reporter who has been one of our most innovative editors — will join the masthead as an Assistant Editor and a key member of the newsroom's leadership team.
Sam's job will be to work with the desks to uncover opportunities to expand Times journalism into new mediums, expanding our ability to cover the world, and making our journalism available to even larger audiences.
What does The New York Times look like, sound like and feel like on these new platforms? Sam will lead the charge in helping the newsroom to figure this out.
Sam is uniquely well-positioned for this assignment. His greatest strength — one that is vital in an editor — is his desire to say yes as often as possible to new ideas, and to then nurture them through the entire organization.
In the past two years, he has helped to launch and oversee NYT Audio, NYT VR, The Daily, The Daily 360, our mobile strategy, the Digital Transition team and the David Carr Fellowship.
He has also been one of our best talent scouts, and a powerful voice for the next generation of journalists at The Times.
Sam will continue to work closely with colleagues in product, marketing, and advertising. But his home, and the source of his ideas, will be the newsroom.
Before we lured him into management, Sam was a star reporter. His year-long investigation into New Jersey's halfway houses won a George Polk award for Justice Reporting and the Worth Bingham Prize for Investigative Reporting. He joined metro as a reporter in 2009, covering the Bronx and immigration. He has also been Deputy Sports Editor, part of the Jason Stallman team that has pioneered great narrative sports writing.
Before joining The Times, Sam worked for the Associated Press as a foreign correspondent in New Delhi and a reporter in New York.
Please join us in congratulating Sam.
Dean and Joe

Cultivating indoors helps many growers continue to harvest year-round, even in cold-weather climates. However, it makes little sense to have to run air conditioners at full capacity to cool indoor environments when ambient temperatures are below freezing. Find out how utilizing dry cooling could lower your monthly operational costs.

As cultivators and owners know, building out a commercial sized facility takes a lot of time, patience and money but can be extremely lucrative in the long run. Large-scale commercial facilities that are up and running are generating huge profits, mostly in cash. But this type of revenue takes time. To get to a place where a facility can sustain itself financially, owners first must go through the long and expensive process of licensing, permitting, obtaining land and/or buildings and, of course, choosing lighting and environmental control.

Last November, the City of Denver released new regulations concerning odor control for cannabis cultivation facilities. Previously, Denver's Department of Environmental Health (DEH) only mandated odor control plans for facilities that received a certain number of complaints but that is no longer the case. Both existing facilities, as well as new ones, will require an odor control plan going forward or risk financial penalties for non-compliance.

Biosecurity is quickly becoming one of the most important topics in the cannabis industry. Testing standards are getting stricter and rates of tainted crops are sky rocketing, causing supply shortages and significant financial blows to cultivators all over the continent. Crops with mold or fungus can be deadly to consumers—especially those with lower immune systems, like many medical users. The alternative for many cultivators is to use chemicals like pesticides and fungicides to combat mold but unfortunately, these still pose a threat to consumers, placing cultivators in a catch-22 situation. Should you risk mold and fungus by avoiding chemicals? Or should you introduce potentially harmful chemicals to your plants to ensure against mold and fungus? Neither is a good option. Not only do these options put consumers at risk but, with increased regulation, they also put cultivators at risk of losing significant profits from having to dispose of sub-par harvests.

Right now, cannabis in the United States is a hotly debated topic. Many people are anti-prohibition citing medicinal uses, economic growth, job-creation and removing its incentive from underworld criminals as reasons for creating a legitimate, regulated cannabis industry. Others see negative impacts of legalization, believing that cannabis is harmful and prohibition only keeps citizens safe. But more and more, the consensus is moving toward the former with a new poll suggesting 93% of voters support medical marijuana and 59% support full legalization. Elections in November highlighted this trend as four states adopted medical and another four voted in favor of adult-use programs. Now a record 60% of the United States' population live in a state that has legalized in some form.

What causes cannabis plants to flower? Any successful cannabis cultivator must know the answer to this question in order to generate revenue from a crop. Alternatively, the reverse knowledge, how to prevent cannabis plants from flowering, must be used to keep a Mother plant in a perpetual veg state.

Video is one of the hottest ways to market in today's digital age. Although that may not be any surprise, what you may not know is that you don't have to be an expert at videography to make great video content for your business.
If you have a smart phone, you can take nice-looking videos; if you have a computer, you can make simple edits to those videos to bump up it up a notch with text, effects, and more with any free video editing software.
Video saw a huge surge in popularity in 2016 and has quickly become one of the most preferred content forms among consumers. So, if you're not already using video in your marketing strategy, you're missing a big opportunity to reach your patients in a way they will enjoy.
Keep reading to find out how you can leverage video in your physical therapy marketing to:
- Delight your current patients
- Attract new patients
- Grow your brand
Social Media
Social media is perhaps the easiest and most affordable place to start implementing video in your marketing strategy. Many of your existing patients and prospective patients are utilizing social media for their health and wellness information. They're likely looking for helpful exercise demonstrations, nutrition tips and just general entertainment.
Start with the most obvious ideas you think your patients are looking for. For example, maybe that's creating a series of exercise videos and share them with your audience. Don't be afraid to ask your patients and followers what kind of exercises they would like to see or need help with! This sparks great engagement with your patients, and you'll know you're giving your audience what they want.
Your existing patients (who already like you) will love the additional health and wellness tips and potential patients will learn to trust you as the expert online – thinking of you when they need to make a PT appointment.
These videos are free to make and free to post! So, why not take advantage of this tool? If you need more assistance with the logistics of posting videos on specific sites (Facebook video vs. Instagram video), check out this helpful post from Sprout Social.
Your clinic website is a great place for video. Not only does video content boost your website's SEO, it will also help you tell the story of your brand. A brand video should excite your audience, showing them how you can help them and what makes you unique from your competition.
People prefer watching video to reading, so you will be able to get a lot more information across to your website visitors through video. You can use video on your website to showcase your culture, your unique services, patient testimonials and more.
It's important your website videos look professional. If your capabilities are limited, you should seek out a freelance videographer or production company. If you're a small PT business with a limited budget, you can often find a local freelance videographer or even a student who will produce great work for you at a lower price. Just make sure you do your due diligence and see their history of work before making a commitment. Low-quality video will you do more harm than good, so make the investment to hire people with a solid portfolio of experience.
TV Commercials
TV commercials are the most obvious form of video but the most expensive. However, if you have the budget for it, TV commercials are a great way to market your PT practice. Your commercials should be professional and full of energy. Visually stimulating and exciting commercials will set you apart from other PT clinics and grab your audience's attention at home.
If you have particularly unique, highly sought-after services, you'll want to showcase those services in your commercials. Real patient testimonials are also a great way to appeal to potential clients and establish your reputation. A well-executed TV campaign can increase your brand awareness, evals, visits and ultimately increase your revenue.
Videos are an important tool in effective physical therapy marketing strategy, and you don't have to be a pro to get started. If you put time and energy into creating high-quality company videos, you will see positive results and feedback from your patients.
FYZICAL makes marketing even easier for our franchisees by providing a library of short, multi-use videos and other marketing resources through FYZICAL College. To learn more about FYZICAL franchise opportunities, check out our Resources page.

Book Description
A cheerful tale penned by Kate Wiggin with masterly skill. The whole book revolves around a young girl who raises geese. The Goose Girl is also a poultry-maid and a shepherdess. All the descriptions are captivating and amazing. Heart-warming!
Download Description
In alluding to myself as a Goose Girl, I am using only the most modest of my titles; for I am also a poultry-maid, a tender of Belgian hares and rabbits, and a shepherdess; but I particularly fancy the role of Goose Girl, because it recalls the German fairy tales of my early youth, when I always yearned, but never hoped, to be precisely what I now am.

Season: autumn
Cromer was popularised in Victorian times. It's a combination of the old and the new. The historic seafront has Bed and Breakfasts that date back to the late 1800's. Landscaped cliff gardens, which bloom with colour during the summer months, overlook vast stretches of unspoilt, sandy beach. A small funfair near the town is ideal for young children, while all ages will enjoy crabbing, a pastime keenly pursued along the spectacular pier. The narrow streets are filled with interesting shops and plenty of places to enjoy the excellent food, including the famous Cromer crab.
Jocasta's view of the beach, as a reference point through generations.
The pier at Cromer and its setting.
Season: summer
You can have your crab boiled and dressed in Cromer and there's nowhere better to enjoy it. The warm sunshine had brought the crowds out for this summer visit. Families played on the golden sands and visitors thronged the characterful streets, above and behind the strand itself. As the sea foamed under the pier's foundations, I met Sam, who was enjoying the elemental dynamic, whilst developing cycling shapes and stunts.
The elemental dynamic of the beach for Sam.

- Olympic News, PyeongChang 2018, Super-G
Snowboarding groove works wonders for sensational Ledecka
There are several reasons why Ester Ledecka's shock win in the women's super-G at PyeongChang 2018 on Saturday 17 February was one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Olympic Winter Games.
The first ever athlete to compete in both skiing and snowboarding at the Games, the Czech had never finished on the podium before in an Alpine event and had never finished higher than 19th in a super-G World Cup race. Ledecka only began competing on the skiing circuit in 2016 and regards herself as a far more accomplished snowboarder than skier; though, of course, that is now open to question after her exploits at the Jeongseon Alpine Centre.
Thanks Mikaela!
One remarkable aspect of her wholly unexpected victory is that it came on a pair of skis previously owned by the USA's Mikaela Shiffrin, who had dropped out of the super-G competition. It was the fastest pair available, according to Ledecka's coach Thomas Bank.
Starting 26th and with defending champion Anna Veith of Austria holding the lead with a time of 1:21.12, the Czech confounded everyone, not least herself, by going 0.01 faster to snatch the gold from Veith's grasp and thwart her bid to become the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic super-G titles.
A unique double?
There seemed little to suggest the 22-year-old Czech – ranked 43rd in the super-G World Cup standings – would spring a surprise on the first half of her run. Yet on reaching the halfway point she found an extra gear and powered her way into Olympic history. If she goes on to win snowboard parallel giant slalom gold on Saturday 24 February, her status as an Olympic legend will be guaranteed. And given that she is the reigning world champion in that event, few would bet against her doing so.
"Until today, I thought I was a better snowboarder," acknowledged the multi-talented Czech after collecting her surprise gold. "I'm really looking forward to the snowboard and I think I should already switch on 'snowboard girl' now. It would be very nice to win both and I will, for sure, do my best for it.
The skier inside
"I really don't know what happened," she added, recalling the moment when she crossed the line at the end of her stunning super-G run and looked up to the scoreboard. "I thought it must be some mistake… they're going to switch the time for some others. I just saw my mum. We were looking at each other. We didn't understand."
Explaining how she had generated so much speed on the second half of the course, Ledecka commented: "I was probably the only snowboarder on site. Maybe it's part of the secret. I was standing there at the start today as a little bit of a snowboarder in my heart. All the girls are just specialists and there was a lot of pressure on them. So it was, 'Come on, let's do the best run you can, skier'."
Sporting pedigree
Ledecka's versatility could be a result of her genes, as she hails from a successful sporting family. Her mother Zuzana was a successful figure skater at national level, while her grandfather, Jan Kaplac, was a member of the great Czechoslovakian ice hockey team that won world championship gold in 1972 and Olympic bronze at Innsbruck 1964 and silver at Grenoble 1968.
Kaplac was also a keen footballer, and Ledecka, whose father is a popular musician in the Czech Republic, has also tried her hand at a variety of sports, including beach volleyball and windsurfing. In her teenage years, however, she found the lure of the mountains and snow irresistible, embarking on a path that would ultimately lead to PyeongChang 2018 and one of the most eye-catching Olympic gold medal wins of all time.

These days, Diana Kander has babies on the brain.
And quite understandably so—the senior fellow at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation is six months pregnant.
So naturally when she took the stage at Big Omaha on Friday morning, Kander spoke about how "toddlers and startups actually have an amazing amount of things in common."
Both require a name and people to take care of them and both need a lot of stuff and require even more money, she said. But just as expecting parents wouldn't rush into planning a career for their unborn child, Kander stressed the importance of taking the time to fully form an idea before launching a business.
"There's a fundamental flaw in how we think about startups," she said.
Rather than rushing into business, Kander believes that, like a baby, ideas need time to gestate and fully form. They need time, resources and lots of planning in order to be successful.
"If your business has any kind of interaction with human beings or could be affected by things beyond your control, then this is no time to quit your job, raise a bunch of money, hire a bunch of people and start building product," she said.
Instead she urges entrepreneurs to step back and fully research business ideas before attempting to launch a poorly planned company.
"Stop trying to sell people and start trying to figure out if you're solving a real problem," she said.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (Legal Newsline) - Illinois Supreme Court Justices put former White House staff chief Rahm Emanuel back on the ballot for Chicago mayor but haven't decided whether he can run.
Tuesday, they stayed a decision of First District appellate judges removing him from the ballot, and they granted him leave to appeal the decision.
They ordered Chicago election commissioners to include his name on any ballots they print while the Supreme Court considers the case.
"This Court is taking the case on the briefs filed by the parties
in the appellate court," the Justices wrote.
"No additional briefs will be filed in the Supreme Court," they wrote.
"Oral argument will not be entertained," they wrote.
Emanuel moved to Washington in 2009, to work for President Barack Obama.
Last year he resigned and announced he would run for mayor in the Feb. 22 election.
Walter Maksym and Thomas McMahon of Chicago challenged his candidacy, arguing candidates must reside in the city for a year prior to the election.
Election commissioners ruled he belonged on the ballot, finding he never intended to terminate his Chicago residence or establish residence in Washington.
They applied an exception to residency requirements in state law for those who move away on business of the United States.
Cook County Circuit Judge Mark Ballard affirmed their decision, but First District Justices Thomas Hoffman and Shelvin Hall reversed Ballard on Jan. 24.
"We agree with the candidate that his service constituted business of the United States and thus that this exception applies to him," Hoffman wrote.
"We disagree, however, with his position that the exception saves his candidacy," he wrote.
Justice Bertina Lampkin dissented, writing that Hoffman and Hall disenfranchised Emanuel and everyone who would have voted for him.
For Emanuel, Michael Kasper of Chicago petitioned the Supreme Court a day later.
Kasper wrote, "Review of the ruling is essential to protect
Emanuel's right to ballot access, as well as to protect the right of the Chicago voters, 90,000 of whom signed his nominating petitions, to vote for him if they so choose."
He wrote that a person whose company assigns him to work in New York for a month would presumably fail the First District's standard.
"Years of litigation will be necessary to define this new standard," he wrote.
For Maksym and McMahon, Burton Odelson of Evergreen Park answered on the same date that Emanuel would disenfranchise voters.
"Although the right to vote is fundamental, the right to candidacy is far from a fundamental right," Odelson wrote.
"Petitioner narcissistically asks this Court to value his non fundamental right to be a candidate for mayor of the city of Chicago over the fundamental voting rights of potentially thousands of voters," he wrote.
He wrote that staying the First District decision would lead voters to believe Emanuel is a lawful candidate even though the First District held the opposite.
Ballots cast for him will be defective, resulting in disenfranchisement, he wrote.
"Tens of thousands of ballots may very likely be rendered meaningless through an unlawful candidacy," he wrote.
He failed to persuade the Justices, who on the same date stayed the decision.

The Gate House – New Harmony, Indiana
Last evening we came to New Harmony, Indiana. We are staying in one of the Guest Houses right across from the Roofless Church, built by Philip Johnson. Although we are "just visiting" here for a day; it is a bit more than visiting for me. New Harmony was my home for 8 years (2002-2010). St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in New Harmony called me to be their rector in 2002.
New Harmony sits along the banks of the Wabash River. The Wabash flows south and at New Harmony it makes a turn to flow west. Just west of New Harmony it meets the Ohio River. Perhaps it is the energy of the river as it makes this turn that calls people to this green valley of trees and fields.
Gates to the Roofless Church
The Harmonists, who were a sect of the German Lutheran Church, moved their small Utopian community here in 1814 and built a successful community which thrived for a decade. In 1825 the Harmonists sold the town and buildings to Robert Dale Owen, an industrialist, from Wales. Buildings from both the Harmonist and Owen periods have been preservedand restored making this an important historic site. In addition to the historic significance of the town, it's importance has been enhanced by a generous benefactor, Jane Blaffer Owen. She married Kenneth Owen who was a direct descendant of Robert Owen. Grounded in spirituality, she was able through her wealth, to bring yet another layer of beauty and grace to this town. Through a foundation named for her father, Robert Lee Blaffer, she renovated many of the historic buildings and added a Roofless Church, a granite labyrinth, a welcome center, a Barn Abbey and many other sculptures, paintings and works of art. This makes New Harmony unique among other historic communities.
New Harmony does have a special "energy" about it. The gypsies in the area, who camped along the Wabash, came back over and over because it was a "thin space". Thin spaces are "spiritually rich" places where the veil between heaven and earth is thinned so that the presence of God is felt. And not only God's presence but the company of saints triumphant.
Visiting New Harmony with my friends has refreshed my own memories of this amazing place. It has been a sweet visit among old friends who have welcomed me back and made this part of my journey rich and full. It has been a "just" wonderful visit.

On the school run this morning I noticed that the mornings here in the Northern Hemisphere are finally getting lighter. Instead of making our way to school and work through winter darkness with only street lights and reflective clothing to aid us on our way, there is now weak dawn light in the sky by about eight am. This is exciting because it means that deepest winter is over and spring is on the distant horizon. What does this mean for our homes?
Spring clear-out! I went up into our loft the other day and did a huge clear-out of redundant baby equipment, toys, excess books and clothes. I know this sounds like the kind of tedious thing life 'experts' always advise in women's magazines but as far as feel-good factor goes, it works. Over time the amount of belongings that we accumulate can creep up on us. I divided into 'donate', 'sell', 'recycle' and 'throw'. It took me most of the weekend but was so worth it. I also made a bit from selling things, so that goes into the fund to buy the next things for our home, which will be a new desk for one of the kids, or some new curtains- see below!
I also rearranged the children's rooms, as they also tend to end up with new toys at Christmas that get stored alongside things they no longer play with, or that are broken. In my experience, if toys are in a jumbled mess, they don't get played with as much as if they are occasionally 'thinned' out with the items that are never played with being swapped with friends or donated to charity. This rule works for wardrobes, as well, by the way. I have accepted that the ridiculously high and extremely uncomfortable gold stilettos I bought and wore to a party five years ago are never going to become part of my staple wardrobe, so out they go!
With the spring clear-out accomplished my thoughts have turned to how to prepare the house for spring.
Change out the textiles. This goes for Curtains, rugs, throws/ bedlinen and towels.
Before you step away from reading this, aghast at the thought of going on a textile spending spree remember this: textiles are what 'dress' your house properly. Furniture can frame your house well, but without textiles your house will always look a bit cold and stark. You can have a modernist loft, and you will still need a little bit of the softness that textiles give to make it look like a home.
I remember my grandmother, when I was a little girl had different curtains for summer and winter. She would take down the winter curtains when spring was coming and store them away and then bring out the summer curtains. Clearly in the 'olden days' when houses were not as well insulated heavy winter curtains were a necessity but looking at my dark satin bedroom drapes, and then the dense ikat curtains I have for the sitting room window I have decided to go on the hunt for something lighter for the spring/summer season. The expensive route is to choose from a 'named' fabric house and get them sewn up. The budget-friendly option is to buy from a high street retailer that stocks ready-made curtains at reasonable prices. Ditto for cushions. Simply switching the cushion covers for a different design or colour can alter the look and feel of a room. Summer botanicals by Clinton Friedman work really well for a summer update. A different tablecloth or placemats can also change the look for your kitchen/dining room. I have several tablecloths that I rotate regularly.
I am sure you are puzzling as to why I would be recommending changing your bath towels…I am well-aware that most of us only buy new bathroom towels when the old ones are threadbare and we just chuck a couple of new ones in the shopping trolley at the supermarket as we do our rounds. Hence, many households (mine included) have a jumbled mismatch of towels in varying faded colours in the linen cupboard. Firstly, renewing your bathroom towels can massively smarten up your bathroom in an instant. Secondly, if you have ever lived in a very hot country, my example for that is South Africa, it is not very pleasant to dry yourself on a dense, fluffy towel in hot weather. There is versatility to flatweave 'hammam- style' towels that terry towels do not have. They are really absorbent and dry much faster than traditional terry towels so you avoid having that 'damp towel smell' lingering about the bathroom in summer.
I have mentioned this before, I know but take a look at the plants in your house. Are they healthy? Are they thriving? A dusty little spider plant struggling away in a neglected corner does nothing for your interior. Get down to your local garden centre and take a look at the options available. Again, you needn't spend the earth to find a couple of good-quality plants for your home. The big fashion now is to hang them from woven string plant-holders. I have resisted this, because we have really high ceilings in our house, which would not only make the hanging plant pots look odd, but it would be a nightmare to water them!
Lastly, if you buy the occasional bunch of flowers you don't have to put the whole bunch into one vase. It looks lovely to find a few similar or matching small vases and arrange one or two stems in each vase. You don't have to think: flowers = kitchen windowsill, or bouquet= dining table. There are plenty of other surfaces in your home that might look great with a stem or two of flowers Look with fresh eyes for possible places; a sideboard, a bedside table, a coffee table, a mantelpiece, a hallway shelf, on a dressing table, perhaps?
I am well-aware that the world is full of serious events and that home-making is not always at the top of the list of priorities but I am guessing that if you are reading this, you are interested. Remember, my tips are not a manifesto for living, they are only suggestions. When you live in a space, no matter how big or small, bought or rented it is easy to become complacent, or inert. I have also been guilty of, ''There's no point doing x until we get y done to the house. '' The tips above are things that you can do in stages as and when you have time, money or inclination. Your home is not about how much money you have or how 'arty' you are. It is a reflection of who you are as a person, so let the way you present and decorate it allow your personality shine through that reflection.

Saturday Walk – The South Downs & Highdown Gardens (Arundel-Goring)
Length: 14¾ km (9.2 miles), with longer options. Toughness: 3/10.
09:36 Southampton Central & Bognor Regis train from Victoria (Clapham Jct 09:42, East Croydon 09:54), arriving Arundel at 11:00. You need to be in the rear (Bognor Regis) portion when the train divides at Horsham. The possible return stations are on a different line but a return to Littlehampton is the same fare and covers both routes.
Direct return trains from Goring-by-Sea are roughly half-hourly at xx:26 & xx:56-04 (times of the latter vary slightly), to 21:26. You could also take a Brighton train and change there, but you'd only get back a few minutes before the next direct train.
This new walk seemed to go down well last September. I think everyone enjoyed the chance to visit Highdown Gardens near the end and they should look even better in spring. The Woodman Arms also got good reviews as the lunch pub, despite being on a noisy main road. The walk itself features a stretch alongside the River Arun followed by a mixed landscape of woods, valleys and farmland typical of the South Downs.
If you spend some time in the gardens (and nearby tearoom) you'll probably want to call it a day, but the walk document includes a couple of longer options: an extra loop down to the seafront, and an alternative ending in Angmering. If you choose the latter, trains leave Angmering 4 minutes before Goring. Some even longer extensions (to Worthing or Littlehampton) are also suggested and I'd appreciate feedback from anyone trying these.
You'll need to bring the walk directions from the Arundel to Goring-by-Sea walk page. T=swc.295

About n=20 on the walk with some initial concern that the path alongside the River Arun might be shut. However despite the notices, there were no issues and we all continued across the railway to Angmering Park the w=forecast_rain_arrived_before_lunch_and_persisted_for_the_remainder_of_the_walk
The Woodman Arms looked after us well despite changing hands the following day. (No crisps or nuts to ease the changeover). It appears the bar staff will remain, but there'll be a different crew in the kitchen but serving a similar menu.
Some braved the rain to visit Highdown Gardens before meeting up at the nearby tearooms with it's large selection of cakes. One group set off to catch the 5:04 train back to the metropoles from Goring by Sea and was joined by party goers celebrating a 70th Birthday party nearby.
I slightly damp, but nevertheless enjoyable day out.

A lovely walk it was a shame about the rain arriving a few hours earlier than forecast.
Highdown Gardens is a hidden treasure which I think would be better appreciated in the late summer or autumn when in full bloom, and hopefully no rain.

CashCrate Isn't a Scam. You Won't Believe How Much I Made in 1 Hour…
I'm always looking for new ways to make an extra buck.
So when we needed someone to try out CashCrate — we vet everything we write about around here — I volunteered as guinea pig.
The site promises you can earn money taking surveys, completing offers and shopping online.
But does it really work? Or is it a scam?
In diary form, here's my completely candid CashCrate review…
A CashCrate Review: My Hour on the Site
4 p.m.: Register for the site and earn $1. Answer a bunch of questions about my age, income, marital status, etc.
4:10 p.m.: Earn another 50 cents for completing my profile! I've now earned $1.50 in 10 minutes. This is going well.
4:11 p.m.: Jump right into the surveys. Fill out my personal information on four different surveys, only to be told I'm not eligible for any of them.
4:23 p.m.: Start to get depressed from typing the age "29" and the marital status "single" over and over again. Head to our beer fridge for a pick-me-up.
4:30 p.m.: Get denied from three more surveys. Have I really spent half an hour of my life on this?
4:31 p.m.: Decide to watch the three-minute tutorial video. My mom always told me (to little avail) to read the instructions first. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
4:34 p.m.: Learn the "offers" are where the money's at. Pursue an offer worth $1, plus the chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card. See my progress bar going up and up. I'm almost there!
4:47 p.m.: I've been at "90% complete" for a while now, but to receive my $1 — or potential $100 gift card — I have to sign up for one of several dozen paid services. I should've known it was too good to be true.
4:48 p.m.: I'm drained. Time for a snack.
4:51 p.m.: Give it one last shot, and watch a three-minute video. Open a new tab so I can read celebrity gossip while it plays in the background.
4:54 p.m.: The video is over! And I've successfully earned… two cents. TWO CENTS.
4:55 p.m.: I've now earned a grand total of $1.52. It's looking like a long road until I earn the $20 required to be paid out.
5 p.m.: Decide to call it a day. I've said goodbye to one hour — and perhaps my identity, since I handed over my personal information to about a dozen shady-looking websites.
Is CashCrate a Scam?
Though my experience was less than enthralling, there are a few important things to note:
- Young women are some of the biggest participants in survey sites, so the allotment for people like me gets filled up pretty quickly. You might have better luck if you're from a different demographic.
- This is the first time I've ever used a survey site. If you're more familiar with the process (and which offers pay well), you'll probably do much better than I did.
- The offers tab is the place to go if you want to earn money quickly. Some require you to give your credit card number and sign up for free trial subscriptions; just remember to cancel before the due date.
So, is CashCrate a scam?
No. It's been around since 2006 and has two million users. It's free to use and — with diligence, or by referring your friends — you can actually earn money with it.
For proof, check out its Payment Wall, where users share their actual checks!
That being said, is CashCrate worth your time?
I, for one, won't be using it again.
But if you're bored watching TV, and want to click around something, feel free to give it a shot.
Or better yet, try one of these 32 awesome ways to make money at home.
Your Turn: Have you used CashCrate before? What did you think?

Comic-Con: Nickelodeon reviving Double Dare for San Diego convention — exclusive
Host Marc Summers — and the iconic, slimy game show — are returning for one night only!
Nickelodeon's nostalgia block The Splat is honoring the 30th anniversary of the network's seminal slime game show, Double Dare, in a big way this summer. Well, Summers.
The network has enlisted original host Marc Summers to return, for the first time in 16 years, to the Double Dare set for a live edition of the game show that'll dominate one night of San Diego Comic-Con this year.
The show celebrates its 30th anniversary on October 6 and is the network's longest-running game show, having aired from 1986-1993 in its original run. "Thirty years later, people still stop me on the street every day and tell me playing Double Dare is the one thing they wish they could have done growing up," Summers says.
Lucky fans at Comic-Con will get to do just that, in a nighttime exhibition on July 22. The event will be streamed live on The Splat's Facebook beginning at 9:30 p.m. PT, wherein fans will be able to watch the red and blue teams compete in rounds of trivia and a slew of classic physical challenges from Double Dares past: Down the Hatch, the Wringer, the Human Hamster Wheel, and the legendary Double Dare Nose.
The Comic-Con Double Dare event kicks off a week of Double Dare reminiscence hosted by Summers on TeenNick (beginning July 25). The line-up features flashbacks, new Double Dare interstitial moments, coverage of the Comic-Con event, and episodes from all three iterations of the game show (Double Dare, Family Double Dare, and Double Dare 2000).
Nickelodeon's presence at Comic-Con isn't just limited to the Double Dare revival. In addition to its daily floor booth activities, the network is plotting a 25-year retrospective of Nickelodeon animation panel for Thursday, July 21 (featuring Hey Arnold! creator Craig Bartlett, Invader Zim's Jhonen Vasquez, The Fairly OddParents' Butch Hartman, and Rugrats' Arlene Klasky); a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles panel on July 22; a women in animation panel celebrating pioneering female cartoon creators on July 22; and a Back to the '90s reunion panel featuring the casts of All That and Legends of the Hidden Temple on July 23.

I have written some articles focussed on the Conservative party and what it would mean to have a Tory government for Muslims and the broader UK populace (see here and here, for instance). Indeed it would be a severe blow to whole country at every level.
In the Muslim context, the Conservative party's counter-extremism measures are grossly invasive with a disproportionate focus on Muslims, tearing up of the Magna Carta and the rule of law in the process. David Cameron doesn't seem too keen in courting the "Muslim vote" anyway. With campaign plan drafted by Lynton Crosby, which includes a failed attempt at pandering to the UKIP voters, I would not expect anything less. Perhaps what seals the strategy of the Tories toward Muslims (not that Muslims, I am sure, would give a curse), is how the "abrasive" Crosby reportedly referred to this minority while campaigning for Boris Johnson. He apparently used "f*****g Muslims" when he was arguing it would be pointless to hold a particular event to win support in an area dominated by ethnic minority voters. Quite.
In a recent interview with Muslim News, despite Cameron's claims that Muslims should not be viewed through the prism of security, quite evidently, over the last year, this is precisely what has happened. He defended PREVENT, defended the war-like incursion into Birmingham schools, brushed aside the demonisation of Muslims during the Trojan Hoax, cited Peter Clarke's report and ignored the Education Select Committee's findings that there was no "extremism" in Birmingham schools, pointed to Sajid Javid being a "Muslim" in cabinet as progress, despite the fact that Javid himself has said he is not a Muslim, and presented a sweety for the Muslims in the guise of recorded Islamophobic crimes, all the while doing everything politically over the past years to exasperate them.
In the context of Palestine, Cameron's slavish allegiance to the rogue Zionist state is well documented. Recently, he sickeningly defended the massacre of Palestinian men, women and children in 2014. Ha'aretz subsequently reported that the consensus of Israeli diplomats and lobbyists in London is that they "have never had such a pro-Israel prime minister".
There is little reason not to concur.
But what of the other parties?
Pushed by the likes of Guardian and with Nicola Sturgeon repeatedly offering him a plan to keep the psychotic Blues out, Ed Miliband and his party poses the greatest threat to an overt impending authoritarian rule of Tories.
Muslim News recently interviewed Miliband. On the face of it, it looks promising: Labour would "outlaw Islamophobia", and "overhaul" the discriminatory PREVENT Strategy. They also supported the recognition of a Palestinian state, whilst voting against intervention in Syria in 2013.
Indeed, he has certainly attracted the attention of neocon ideologues and their propping enablers.
A digression if I may.
The fascist Douglas Murray dedicated a piece whilst out of the country attacking the proscription of Islamophobia. His entire piece is premised upon the assumption that Islamophobia is equivalent to a critique of Islam. Basking in the "victimhood narrative" by citing criminal examples of Michael Adebolajo, and Charlie Hebdo, and then obfuscating hate crime with critique, Murray seeks to "test the law" if given statutory footing by gathering academics and philosophers to reject the beliefs of Islam. Of course, he ignores the context of "aggravated crime" and "Islamophobic attacks", which Miliband clearly uses to describe a proposed criminalisation of anti-Muslim hate crime. No one tears the hijab off a woman because he or she loves Islam and the manifestation of it by Muslims. Given his hatred toward Muslims and Islam, his sympathy with, and endorsement of far-right bigots, perhaps he fears falling foul of it himself. One does not witness articles authored by him mourning the slaughter of free speech when Zionists shutdown academic conferences questioning the basis of the Zionist entity.
In the past, David Aaronovitch of Jewish Chronicle, sharply criticised Murray for calling Islamophobia "a crock". He wrote,
"Yet when the static targets are mosques and the moving targets are Muslims, it would be somehow wrong – buying into "the crock" – to describe the attacks as "Islamophobic". Says Douglas… Some of this is, whatever Douglas says, very familiar. Before the race theories of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, antisemitism (or Jew hatred) was not racial. The problem wasn't with the Jews themselves but with what they obstinately believed. If they abandoned Judaism they could become good people. So it is quite possible to posit an Islamophobia which corresponds to pre-racial antisemitism. The fact that, in this society, most Muslims are brown, can give this hatred a racial dimension."
Shlomo Sands, Israeli professor at Tel Aviv University, is explicit in recognising Islamophobia, going as far as saying that it has replaced "Judeophobia" as the enemy of Europe:
"Who is the enemy today to construct a European identity? It's clear, it's the Muslims, the Arabs. A common enemy is good to construct an identity… Europe was constructed between 1850 to 1950 on the basis of anti-Semitism… anti-Semitism, or Judeophobia, Judeophobia is a better word, was a very important factor to construct nations in the 19th century. I think political anti-Semitism finished in Europe… I think today – and this is important – that the Islamophobia has replaced the Judeophobia, and Islamophobia is one of the ways to construct Europe. There is a political Islamophobia in Europe. There is not a political Judeophobia in Europe. I think the Cameron [Munich] speech is a part of this way of defining a new identity [to] face the Arab or the Islamic world… There is a political hate of Arab and Muslims in the Western world including Britain."
Maajid Nawaz also added to the chorus with a similar conflation to Douglas Murray, rejecting Islamophobia and reducing the diverse political and sociological contexts, to "scrutinising" an "idea".
The fact that Murray's Henry Jackson Society and Nawaz's Quilliam Foundation are instrumental in the securitisation of Islam and Muslims, whilst rejecting Islamophobia is no incident. They represent the pretext, a factor, which contributed to the eventual Holocaust. That this small, interconnected cabal of individuals oppose these measures can only mean that such proposals are a good thing.
But before jumping on the hooray! He's okay! bandwagon it is worth noting some reservations about Miliband.
Miliband's counter-extremism strategy is merely a variation of the approach already undertaken to the detriment of the Muslim minority. In fact, it smacks of the first version of PREVENT, implemented by the previous Labour government to "exact control" of Muslims. The rhetoric continues to remain infected by the academically discredited conveyor-belt theory of radicalisation, which posits ideology central to the process of radicalisation. Hence Miliband states that the Muslim community need to be engaged to stop "our young being dragged into this perverted ideology". He further adds,
"You got to do the things that once this ideology takes hold you try to disrupt it. For me that is the answer. We want to see how the Prevent programme is community focused."
"Community engagement" simply means, "get the Muslim community to implement our policy". Instead of Theresa May having dictatorial control of "tackling extremism" through forced assimilation along with public bodies, the buck is being passed to the community to tackle "extremist" ideology without the community still having any tangible understanding of what it exactly is.
As Ahmed J Versi, the interviewer, noted,
Miliband insisted that he took "extreme care" in what he said but it still did not stop him in using the generic term of "Islamist terrorism" and inferring the cause was religious rather than political when suggesting more than once it was based on "perverted ideology."
The Labour party supported the ridiculously invasive Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015, which among other things, placed the PREVENT Strategy on statutory footing. Shadow Home Secretary and Labour MP Yvette Cooper has been continually slamming Theresa May for not being "tough enough". At the annual Labour Conference of 2014, and at a time when the CTS Bill proposals had been made, Cooper said,
"It's time to strengthen the counter terror powers that Theresa May weakened."
She has been a strong proponent of the absurdly human rights-violating control orders, again scolding Theresa May for ditching relocation ("exile orders") of suspects not charged of any crime. (Hansard, column 228).
Indeed many of the discriminatory, totalitarian measures called for by May are shared with Cooper. Once again, taking a pot shot at her superior, she said last month that,
"She could have had banning orders, reviewed sharia courts, and insisted preachers speak English five years ago, rather than leaving it until now."
Foreign Policy
A few years ago, in an article in a major media outlet, the link to which has been conspicuously removed (I searched for the article for two hours; it could be previously found by simple entering the search terms "Ed Miliband Liberal Internationalism"), Miliband brazenly praised and adopted Tony Blair's 1999 Chicago speech, which established what is now known as the "Blair doctrine". This doctrine espouses Liberal Internationalism (LI) – a school of foreign policy to which Miliband ascribed himself to. LI is also known as Wilsonianism across the pond. The foreign policy goals are no different to neoconservativism. It is the manner in which those goals are achieved where there is variance: LI encourages the use of international organisations and treaties, neoconservatism rejects such reliance for hard power. This is why neoconservatism is also known as "Hard Wilsonianism". LI seeks to create "security" and "peace" globally by bringing democracy to oppressed nations. With the "Islamic threat", the rhetoric from the likes of Tony Blair and Christopher Hitchen is virtually the same as that of nutty neocons: blasé hate, supremacist and hegemonic.
Indeed, the similarity was such that the son of Irving Kristol, William Kristol remarked, "I think Tony Blair is a kind of neoconservative, despite himself".
Miliband likes us to know that he "learnt the lessons of Iraq" and said no to military action in Syria in 2013. However, pushed into a position to respond to Cameron's decision for military action in Libya in early 2011, he approved of the disastrous intervention. In justifying his support he employed seriously disturbing neoconservative wording stating that foreign policy must always be an uneasy combination of "principle and pragmatism". It is precisely this rationalising away of "principles" which allowed the US state to sanction torture, and push illegal wars based on lies. Syria was a pragmatic decision, not one born from a sudden epiphany which exposed the danger of neoconservative agendas.
In his review of a book charting the making of Ed Miliband as a Labour leader, John Gray wrote,
"What may be less obvious is the extent to which he has shown himself to have some of the qualities that Machiavelli admired in a leader – courage, freedom from sentimentality and an instinctive sense of where power lies."
Machiavellian "virtue" of determining where power lies works in conjunction with "pragmatism", where principles are compromised in the pursuit of power and agendas. Perhaps it was this "sense" which became active when he realised there was no public stomach for another commitment for a war in the Middle East in 2013. Perhaps it is this "pragmatism" which is pushing for Palestinian statehood just before election time. With such shape shifting qualities, who knows? Miliband is a self-confessed "friend of Israel", and he has clearly stated that he would not support sanctions against the Zionist entity. The Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander has no scruples in supporting the US in the bombing of Iraq to contain ISIS, but Israel, despite its brutality, is off the table for any form of internationalist "intervention".
Labour's Douglas Alexander, a member of the Zionist Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) lobby group, has been articulating Labour's revised foreign policy. He clarified in his speech outlining the new policy, "progressive internationalism", that "a future Labour Government would recognise Palestine, but only when such a move would enhance the peace process". The definition of "enhancing the peace process" is as slippery as a double-speaking neocon. Milband in his speech to the LFI Zionist lobby said that,
"…significant challenges to the peace process include the role of Hamas, not just its failure to renounce violence against Israel but to accept its very right to exist."
In other words, most likely never.
As for the policy toward the rest of the Middle East, we are informed that it is one of "no harm". Of course this raises the question, if one views spreading "peace" and "democracy" through wars as beneficial for global security, what is exactly "progressive" about the new internationalist policy? That we do the same, only less while keeping an eye on our coffers at home? Alexander in a Guardian comment wrote,
"Labour's task for government is to build consent for an outward-looking Britain as the best way to advance not just our interests, but also our values at a time of challenge, both at home and abroad."
Neocons also claim to act in the interests of their state, and also advance their values globally through war and demonisation. Only time will tell how a potential future Labour government will advance their "interests" and "values" abroad.
Lib Dems
Nick Clegg's attitude towards the Muslim minority has not been entirely dissimilar to the Tories and Reds in the context of PREVENT. In fact, Clegg seemed childishly uninformed of the PREVENT Strategy's impact.
Regarding the CTS Act, he only saw it as creating "consistency" by ensuring all local authorities do "good work" – "work" which predominantly targets Muslims because of their beliefs. The confused Deputy PM was unaware that nurseries were also the target of PREVENT. He explained that the Act was against inciting violence by hatred even though Part 5 of the Act targets specifically "extremism" – which includes opposition to foreign policy – through PREVENT. Though PREVENT is not "law", it is legally enforceable as non-implementation of the Strategy will result in legal liability for the public body. He called on more "moderate Muslims" to articulate "mainstream opinion", echoing more of the first iteration of PREVENT. As explained in depth before, the "moderate Muslim" for the west is one which does not challenge the government in their draconian policies, remains silent when his or her beliefs are publically ridiculed and restricted through counter-extremism policies, and welcomes their co-religionists "benevolently" being bombed by Western democracy crusaders on the basis of lies and spin.
With Clegg effectively side-lined in the existing "coalition" and now looking to jump into bed with the Tories once more to retain power, Clegg's concessions to Muslim concerns, or resistance to the PREVENT Strategy in the grander scheme of things, despite small changes to the policy, would be of little value.
Concluding Remarks
Whilst the stately Ukippers that are the Conservatives are blatantly anti-Muslim, and unabashed apologists for Zionist state terrorism, the reality of Labour, beneath the election bluster, is not much different. When it comes to "extremism", the three main parties use the term with abandon without fleshing or challenging the ambiguous definitional discourse, and without eschewing the falsity that is the conveyor-belt theory of radicalisation and abject obsession with ideology.
Moreover, all three of the parties have absolutely no qualms with the precarious position their support for PREVENT places them in, regardless of tactical differences: it amounts to unjustified state intervention of religion, the manifestation of which has resulted in discrimination on the basis of religious beliefs.
The pervasion of neoconservativism across the parties will ensure that such discriminatory, Stasi-esque policies will remain. Indeed, it was the neocon Alexander Carlile who led the review of the PREVENT Strategy to bring it to the totalitarian state it currently is in. With the two leading parties both sycophantically cosying up to psychotic Zionists, or refusing any meaningful action against the slaughter of Palestinians, Israel's continued violation of international law and religiously fuelled massacring will most likely continue unabated.
Until the parties realise that the greatest threat to Britain – neoconservatism – is already in power and is subverting human rights and democratic processes, this continued clandestine push for totalitarian control and demonisation of a minority through Machiavellian tactics will remain.

Responding to requests from cooks, agencies, and manufacturers, Solar Cookers International(SCI) created an objective, scientific process to evaluate solar cookers: the Performance Evaluation Process (PEP). SCI objectively and scientifically evaluates how a solar cooker performs. Solar cooks and purchasing agencies around the world need these valuable performance metrics to select the solar cooker that best fits their needs.
- Based on the internationally accepted ASAE S580.1 protocol for Testing and Reporting Solar Cooker Performance
- Harmonizes with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) test ISO/TC 285 protocols being developed for clean cookstoves
- SCI is a solar cooker testing center registered with the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves
- SCI has testing centers in Laliptur, Nepal; and in New York and California USA
Local testing of solar cookers supports local economies - an SCI goal. Local testing means tapping leaders' expertise: knowledge of their culture, language, and foods to identify the highest-quality, most durable solar cooking technologies for those regions. With additional funding from donors, SCI can proceed with plans to open three new testing centers: Africa, Europe, and Latin America. Want to learn how you can fund an SCI testing center and support local economies? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com today.

I actually was inspired the same way to make a card game like that. I've made a hundred prototype cards and have a system down. I can give you guys my ideas.
Hey Maverick! I know the guys have some ideas already, but if you're on Discord, feel free to pop in to chat! We seem to have a few game-design enthusiasts in the group, so you'll definitely have people to talk to and bounce ideas off of. 🙂
Okay, sorry O havent responded in a while.
Thats cool. Do you guys know how to get to discord?
When you do the card game, make sure to draw all the women scantly clad with jiggly boobs. That way you can piss off the internet feminists. (See Bikini Armor Battle Damage)

I kinda feel bad for this podcast. The fact that a "Support on patreon" button is their makes it even more sad. Just listening on this episode shows no actual personality of the hosts. Makes me wonder how many people actually listen to this.
