I love Halloween. There is something about the newfound chill in the air, the falling leaves on the ground and the dark nights closing in that makes everything feel ever so slightly...spooky! Plus, it is a great excuse to play dress up! So with Halloween just around the corner, I have turned to Weekend Doll and Voodoo Betty's Boutique for a frightening cool Halloween pinup look!
As soon as Collectif released their new Autumn/Winter 2016 collection, I knew I had to order the PennyVegas Pencil Dress! This dress is only available in a Size 6 on the Collectif website – it has sold out fast! But thankfully, Weekend Doll has your back! It is still available on their website in sizes 8-16!
This dress is amazing! Made of a beautifully sparkly PU coated Bengali fabric, it has tones of stretch yet is figure-huggingly snug! I ordered the dress in a UK Size 8 and my measurements are as follows: Waist – 26.5in, Bust: 35in and Hips: 34in. Therefore, based on the Collectif size chart, I would say that they Penny Vegas Pencil Dress fits true to size. However, Collectif do say that if you are between sizes to size down, on account of the amount of stretch the dress has.
In terms of size, fabric and over all style, I don't have a bad word to say about the Penny Vegas Pencil Dress. However, with that being said, I am not very keen on the fastening mechanism for the crossover neck straps. Unlike other cross over neck items I have, for instance, the Voodoo Vixen Top from Pinup Girl Clothing, the cross neck on the Penny Vegas clips in place with hooks, as opposed to being one continuous strap that you put over your head.
Now, I didn't wear a bra with this dress as once on, it fits pretty tight, so there was no need, but I was very conscious that at some point, these little clasps (which didn't feel massively secure when fastened) would pop open and leave me ever so slightly red faced! I would have preferred for this dress to have 'over the head' straps, but it is not a deal breaker! The rest of the dress makes up for this!
I paired the Penny Vegas Dress with some gorgeous Halloween themed accessories from Voodoo Betty'sBoutique. I styled my hair with their gorgeous handmade pumpkinhead scarf (which made for a perfect fit, with just enough excess left over for a little bow).
I accessorised with their super cute PumpkinJack-o-Lantern style earrings (which are tunnel friendly!) and their beautiful Pumpkin and skull necklace, which I fashioned into a little belt using some black cotton!
This is the first time I have tried any accessories from Voodoo Betty's, but I was really pleased with the quality, overall designs and clearly the huge amount of care and attention that goes into each individual piece. My pumpkins went down a storm on a recent night out! I will definitely be buying from them again.
Can we also just take a moment to admire my Halloween fireplace background!!

The Indian national football team will play their second match for the FIFA World Cup's qualifying round when they take on Qatar in Doha on Tuesday.
After leading for most of the game against Oman, the Blue Tigers conceded two late goals to lose their opening encounter of the qualifiers. However, their first half performance in that game will give hope for a better performance against the strongest team in their group, Qatar.
The Qataris have defeated all the Asian Teams that they have faced in 2019 including Iraq, UAE, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea among others. They also managed a draw against South American side Paraguay. However, they are not unbeatable.
Here are three reasons why the Blue Tigers can upset the World Cup host nation and the winners of the AFC Asian Cup in their own backyard....
3. Faith and Self-belief on a high
It is a known fact that on their day, any team can beat any opponent no matter what the ranking or odds.
The same can be said about the Indian football team, who performed exceptionally well against Oman before once again losing concentration in the final minutes.
However, coach Igor Stimac will take heart in explaining to his team that they now need to start closing out games as they have the quality to do so.
Expect a fiery Indian side against Qatar on Tuesday as Indian fans too will turn out in the stadium after filling out their share of ticket sales in record time.
2. Improvement in ball possession
As seen in the match against Oman, India conceded goals due to individual errors and not because the opposition caused havoc in their box.
One brilliant change to notice in Stimac's Indian team was the way they held possession of the ball, especially in the first half as Anirudh Thapa and co ran circles around Oman's players.
Against Qatar, this team has to increase their quality on the ball once again and ensure they complete almost all of their intended passes in order to avoid any counter-attacks from a speedy opponent.
1. Positive changes intended by Igor Stimac
One thing to notice for the match against Qatar will be Stimac's starting XI for the game. Speaking after the loss against Oman, Stimac specifically mentioned that he will change things for this game against Qatar.
He said, "As soon as the Oman match ended, we shifted our focus immediately to the next match. Qatar are the strongest team in the group and playing them will not be easy. However, it's a great opportunity to learn from."
The Croatian coach also mentioned, "Obviously, we have to change 4-5 players. We'll see how everyone is feeling. There is no reason to fear and we shall look to score goals and play good football."

Franklin Out at WPMI/WJTC
Bob Franklin is no longer running Newport Television's WPMI/WJTC duopoly in Mobile, Ala. Franklin was named general manager nearly two years ago.
His departure was first reported in Mobile's Press-Register, which said Franklin dismissed WPMI's popular anchor trio last year.
WPMI, obtained by Newport in the blockbuster Clear Channel Communications deal, has been struggling to climb out of the cellar in the news race. The NBC affiliate overhauled its news product after the acquisition, with new graphics and set, higher story counts and a new anchor team.
In May, Franklin told B&C the changes would help WPMI run with the big boys. "Before, we were driving a sedan," he said, "and now we're driving a Porsche."
WJTC is an independent.
A Newport spokesman said a new GM would be named soon.

Hello my dear fellow bloggers! Last week I had the chance of attending the presentation, for sale, of the latest collection by designer Fernanda Quirós titled Pura Jagua at Espacio Vintage. We´ve already seen this collection previously on Fashion Week Panama 2011 and it´s all about summer colors like orange, green and white, inspired by the Embera culture and the architecture of Le Corbusier. This line has some new additions to it like shorts and blazers which are sure pairable and functional for this summer season (the collection seen at FWP had a major prominence of dresses, long skirts and some pants). Without a doubt a great show of color and joy characteristic of our land and culture, if you are in Panama make sure to stop by Espacio Vintage and buy one of this fabulous pieces.
As I was already there I decided to take some pictures of the new merchandise that can be found at Espacio Vintage boutique, there´s no doubt that the Melissa shoe line has a great presence in the place. A shoe for every taste and in collaboration with big names as Jason Wu, Vivienne Westwood and Gareth Pugh.

Those of you who know me already know that I get excited about stuff that's…well….not usually exciting. One thing I get super pumped about is food prep. I like planning. I like spending a whole morning cooking and organizing my meals for the week. I like knowing that this few hours will save me a ton of time throughout the next several days. Not only is the food prepped and ready to go, but I also don't have to spend time THINKING about it.
You know what I'm talking about…. You are either at work at 4pm wondering what's for dinner and remembering the fridge is bare. Or, you open the fridge and it's full…..but everything requires actual cooking and it's already 7:30pm. The kids (and you) need fed NOW.
Both of those scenarios often have the same outcome – heading out to get something to eat. Ugh. Going out to eat is fine, but throwing your hands up and heading to the drive-thru because you've not planned well is the last thing you want. When we make rushed, frustrated decisions like this, rarely are they decisions that benefit us long-term.
So, I'm going to take you through my food prep from yesterday – where I cooked and/or prepped the following:
- One whole chicken
- A pot of paleo chili
- A pot of beef-cabbage soup
- An entree of chicken, baked sweet potatoes, and asparagus
- Snacks consisting of fresh cut veggies, hummus, and salmon
- Boiled eggs
One thing I always thought was lacking when I read about doing all this was the "little" things that truly made the tasks easier. Once prepped enough, I came up with some of these on my own so I want to mention those to you along the way.
Soups Need Time
The first thing on my agenda was to get my soups going. The paleo chili wasn't for me, but it needs to simmer most of the day before being ready for my family. I'm not lying when I say this is the best chili I've ever had. It's "paleo" so there are no beans. The other soup was on my assigned meal plan for the week from my trainer, a beef-cabbage soup. I started my morning by browning all the ground meat for these two soups, as well as cooking the vegetables that will be put in the chili.
Two crockpots later – they are both well on their way!
TIP: For the chili, I end up getting two pans dirty: the skillet that cooks the meat/veggies and the crock pot. That's it. My whole tomatoes, sautéed veggies, and spices go into the crockpot where I then use an immersion blender to liquify it all at once. No transferring liquids between pots = no splatter.
I Ain't No Chicken
I then set out to cook my whole chicken. Normally, I just do chicken breasts but the dark meat has some nutritional benefits, so I did the whole chicken this time. One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my Instant Pot. We use it 3-4 times a week, and it's always used on prep day. I have the 6-quart pot and it's plenty big for what we use it for. I had to search for a recipe to do a whole chicken because if it comes out too dry – I won't eat it. So, I did some searching and settled on this one. It came out PERFECTLY!! I had more than what I needed to do my own meals for the week, so the extra will be used for whatever is cooked for the kids on night.
TIP: One of the things that the recipe calls for is to let the chicken cook in a bit of oil at high temps before starting the pressure. Obviously you need to do both sides. In the past, I've had one helluva time getting the chicken back out of the Instant Pot to turn it over. It's hot! However, a few months ago, I bought these nifty little things because our oven mitts kept getting super gross and washing them never seemed to get them clean. (Okay, full disclosure – I've gone the silicone direction for a ton of things in the kitchen lately!) With these babies, I was able to simply reach down and removed the chicken, flip it over, and gently set it back inside the IP. I then just washed off the gloves!
Veggies & Hummus & Salmon
My veggies were then cut up while all that was busy cooking. This week, I chose zucchini (yes, I eat it raw), red bell peppers, sugar snap peas, green beans, and asparagus.
Nothing fancy here – I just cut them up and measured out 2 cups and put them in containers with a small soufflé cup of hummus. One thing I've noticed since I've been eating hummus again (besides the fact that I love it) is that many brands are super thick. Hummus is expensive!
TIP: Use a good quality oil to dilute your hummus if you find it's too thick. I like mine with a lighter consistency and the additional oil will not change the taste at all. Also, always read the label when you purchase hummus! There should be NO SUGAR!
As for the salmon…I eat salmon nearly every day. Three ounces in the afternoon with some veggies. I've discovered that my Instant Pot can take frozen salmon and have it done in 4 minutes! (Obviously, there's the additional time to bring it up to pressure.) FOUR MINUTES! I put the frozen salmon fillets on the trivet, set the timer for 4 minutes, and walk away. I use a bit of lemon pepper seasoning for the salmon.
The Dreaded SCALE!!!
Calm down!
I'm talking about a food scale.
I used to have a plastic dial-type scale but recently upgraded to a digital scale since I started measuring and weighing nearly everything I ate. My meats typically get prepped in 3-ounce serving sizes…..MUCH easier to do with a digital scale. (The scale I've linked about has over 14K reviews on amazon. I don't own this one – I got mine at Target.)
Putting It All Together
I wish I could say that assembly is easy, but I find it to be the most difficult part of food prep because I simply don't have enough room in the fridge for every meal or snack to have it's own container. I also wish I could say that I used awesome glass prep containers, but I don't. I use plastic. These are the best I could find, and are also economical and easy to clean. If I'm just going back and forth to the office for the day, I use these. If I'm packing for night shifts, I use my 6-Pack Fitness containers with the actual cooler as these don't fit as well in my cooler.
However, as I look up the links for you, I'm wishing I'd noticed THESE!!! How fun! I may have to order!
Time Spent Now = Freedom Tomorrow
I can't stress enough how much time all this will save me this week. You guys know my schedule! It's either commit to this, or I may as well not even try. I'd much rather commit!
I feel better. It's much less stressful to NOT think about my food all week. Plus, if some of this can double for the family meals – it's even better.
*My book – Weight Loss that Works: Secrets to Restoring Confidence and Reclaiming Your Body is now available on KINDLE! And, it will be available in paperback shortly! I'm overlooking the proof as we speak.
*Some of the links above are "affiliate links" – meaning I get a small percentage if you order the product. This does not cost you any extra! Please note that I do not endorse products that I've not used myself. If I've not used them, the text will say so.

text: Toyota InfoTech Talks Two Major Challenges With Sensors and Automotive Applications As a new addition on the Industry Needs panel, Roger Melen, Senior Advisor, Toyota InfoTechology Center, recently spoke to us ahead of this year's IS Auto Americas conference to discuss what the autonomous industry needs to do to gain consumer trust as well as some of the top challenges for image sensors within automotive applications. How do you think consumers will respond to fully autonomous vehicles? Safety and cost are two highly important issues. Consumers still need considerable convincing the performance is worthy of the price. Are consumers educated enough to trust autonomous vehicles? Trust is not easily given since it is earned over time by consistent proof of performance over time. There is little testing to definitively show whether autonomous vehicles are actually safer in the real world than human drivers. Future testing with good results will be necessary to build the desired trust. What do you see as the top collective challenges for those working on image sensors for automotive applications? I think in very high-resolution sensors dynamic range and frame rate performance are slowly improving but much more performance may be required by future vehicles. Why is this meeting important to those working in the image sensor industry? Many people are working on automotive imaging systems in Silicon Valley. This meeting is an important place to meet and greet many fellow workers. Why have you decided to support this event? This event addresses roadway imaging which is a very hot and dynamic field with many new automobile models including four or more onboard cameras. What are you most looking forward to hearing at Image Sensors Americas 2018? I look forward to hearing the thought audience questions that are common after speakers present on new and hot topics like imaging Register today to hear more insighst from Roger at IS Auto Americas 2018

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — For many, 2011 will be remembered as a year of wild weather. Storms were historic, deadly and costly.
Minnesota had a few big weather events this year. One of the most significant was the deadly tornado that tore through North Minneapolis back in May.
One person was killed and 48 were injured. Hundreds of homes were damaged.
Statewide, Minnesota had 31 tornadoes.
Nationwide, though, springtime brought a spate of deadly storms. There were 201 confirmed twisters over four days alone in late April. More than 320 people died in six states.
Then, on May 22, the deadliest single tornado in the U.S. this year touched down in Joplin, Mo. The E5 tornado killed at least 157 people and decimated the Midwest town.
Another big local weather story of the year was the drought this autumn. Minnesota only had 1.36 inches of precipitation from September to November, the least amount rain since modern record-keeping began back in 1871.
The state's normal precipitation for the fall is around 7 inches.
The dry conditions made for a subpar year of autumn colors.
Minnesota was also one of the many states affected by flooding along the Mississippi River. Thanks to the battery of winter storms dumping snow from the Great Plains all the way over to Maine, many major rivers in the U.S. were overwhelmed when all that snow began to melt and the spring rains arrived.
The Mississippi and its tributaries flooded out communities from Minnesota down to Louisiana. Flooding concerns lingered through June.
The Souris River in North Dakota crested at historic levels. More than 11,000 people were evacuated. Many returned to find their homes destroyed.
It was the hottest summer in 75 years for many parts of the country, which led to a number of wildfires.
Hurricane season was quiet until Hurricane Irene set its signs on the east coast. Irene made landfall near Cape Lookout, N.C. in late October. Some of the worst flooding from Irene was much farther north in land-locked Vermont. Irene was responsible for more the 40 deaths and more than $1 billion in damage over 12 states.
Too bad North wasn't wiped out.
Wow. You're a creep.
Storm related damage cost Americans 82 billion dollars last year. You think that is a lot? Obama spent 700 billion dollars in just two weeks several years ago! And they still are not sure what happened to 200 billion dollars of that! You think that is bad? Obama then spent 4 trillion dollars in just two more years! All of a sudden 82 billion dollars isn't all that much……… My share of that was Zero but I'll be paying it back the rest of my life! How about you?
Stackable boxes are a must when moving house, iptrsreceive of self-drive van hire or removal company lorry. Sturdy green, recyclable boxes that can be reused time and again are the most useful option for frequent house moves and for long-term storage iptrsreceive of where the house move takes place. There's nothing more frustrating than having to reload several times, because the awkward manner in which things are packed prevent a completely loaded van making one tour and one tour only.
Tornadoes are no respecter of persons. Besides there are decent, hardworking people in North Minneapolis who have lived there all their lives or choose to buy homes or rent where it is more affordable. By the way I bought a home in Fridley that was also hit by the same tornado. Fortunately it did not do nearly the damage there as they had in North Minneapolis and was not as widespread. These things happen, you can't prevent them and that's why you need insurance. A much more dangerous tornado struck that same day in Joplin that far exceeded the two people killed in Minneapolis. But people in Mpls were left grieving and injured and lost belongings that can not be replaced.

This is also available in other languages, click here to view these, an easy read version for people with learning disabilities, click here and MP3 audio files are available for people with sight loss, click here.
You don't have to have any of the screening tests we offer, but it is important that you understand why they are being offered before you decide against them to make sure you are making a fully informed choice.
Blood tests
The first blood test we offer will screen for:
- Blood group
- Iron levels
- Sickle cell and thalassaemia
- Infectious diseases (HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B)
It is important you attend for this blood test as soon as you can, ideally before 10 weeks of pregnancy or within 3 days of your first appointment with your community midwife. This allows us to identify anything that may need early intervention or treatment.
Click here for more information about blood test opening times and locations.
You will get the results of your blood tests at your next appointment with your community midwife or at your next antenatal clinic appointment. If you have any results that require further investigation, you will be contacted by the screening team directly.
Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia
If you know you have one of these conditions or that you are a carrier of one of these conditions please contact the Screening Team on the above number as soon as you find out you are pregnant. This allows us to fast track your blood tests to check if any further intervention or tests are needed.
First Trimester Scan (around 12 weeks)
You will be offered a scan at around 12 weeks to determine when your baby is due and how many babies you are carrying. The sonographer will take a number of measurements to calculate your due date. As part of this scan you will be offered screening for Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome. This involves taking an extra measure of the back of the baby's neck called nuchal translucency. This measurement, together with a blood test, are used to calculate the chance of your baby potentially being affected by one of these conditions.
It is completely your decision if you wish to have this screening. Further information can be found in the Public Health England leaflet Screening tests for you and your baby (see above), or you can contact the screening team on the contact number given above.
If you have decided to have screening for Down's syndrome, and/or Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome you will receive your results in the following way:
- 'Increased' chance (risk) – you will receive a telephone call from a member of the screening team inviting you to see them to discuss your options. This will usually be within seven days of your having your scan and blood test.
- 'Low' chance (risk) – you will receive a letter confirming your screening test results within two weeks of having your scan and blood test.
If you have not received your results within 2 weeks, please contact the screening team on the contact numbers given above. It is important to remember that this result does not mean that your baby is or is not affected. It merely gives you an indication of the likelihood. Further tests are needed to give a definite diagnosis, and this will be explained further by the screening team should the need arise.
Mid Trimester Scan (around 20 weeks)
This checks on how your baby is developing and looks in detail at various things including their brain, head, heart and limbs. Its purpose is not to tell you if you are having a girl or boy, although this may sometimes be possible. Sometimes it might not be possible to get all the necessary measurements or a clear picture of some structures due to the position of the baby. If this happens, the sonographer may ask you to return on another day for a repeat scan.
Important Things to Remember About Scans
- Please attend for any scan with a full bladder. This makes scanning easier as it lifts the baby up out of your pelvis.
- Only one other person is allowed into the scan room with you.
- No children are allowed into the scan room with you.
- If you want a picture of your scan, you can purchase this for £5 on the day, just let the sonographer know.
- If we find anything abnormal or of concern on scan, we will always tell you about it and arrange appropriate follow-up.
- You may have other scans at different points in your pregnancy as deemed necessary by your midwife or consultant, but these will be explained to you if the need arises.

Migrants qualified and experienced in fields listed on the Skillselect list enjoy preference in obtaining their 457 Australian work visas, and as it turns out, now it seems they are also up for some of the best paying jobs Australia has to offer.According to a new study the highest paid professionals earn more than $2,000 per week or $104,000 per year and these are mostly medical occupations including Anaesthetists, topping the list with 88.3% of those in the field earning over $2,000 per week. They are closely followed by a range of other medical specialists.According to the Immigration Australia the following medical specialist are all listed on the Skillselect list; AnaesthetistSpecialist Physician (General Medicine)CardiologistClinical HaematologistMedical OncologistEndocrinologistGastroenterologistIntensive Care SpecialistNeurologistPaediatricianRenal Medicine SpecialistRheumatologistThoracic Medicine SpecialistSpecialist PhysiciansPsychiatristSurgeon (General)Cardiothoracic SurgeonNeurosurgeonOrthopaedic SurgeonOtorhinolaryngologistPaediatric SurgeonPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeonUrologistVascular SurgeonDermatologistEmergency Medicine SpecialistObstetrician and Gynaecologist Interestingly it is not always the case that high paid occupations are always the academic professional occupations. Many trade and non-academic professionals earn just as well as their Anaesthesiologist with some of the highest paid occupation being drilling miners and shot firers where 43.8% command an income of more than $2,000 per week.Electrical draftspersons and crane hoist and lift operators also earn well above normal wages.But, the study also found that those earning higher incomes were also putting in longer than normal office hours.The relationship between hours worked and incomes generally holds true, so those occupations that had higher incomes (managers, machinery operators and drivers, technicians and trade workers) generally worked longer hours.Should you be interested in investigating immigrating to Australia speak to one of New World Immigration's professional Australian Immigration Consultants. The company proudly registered with MARA (Migration Agents Registration Authority) for Australian immigration and are therefore well equipped to deal with all your immigration needs.

It took a while for the Philly Special to make its way to Madden. The defining play of Kansas City's Super Bowl LIV victory will show up a lot sooner.
The constantly-upgrading Madden 20 game will include, in an upcoming update, a new play for the Chiefs' playbook: Jet Chip Wasp.
EA announced the new play on its Twitter account Friday, after receiver Tyreek Hill (who caught the 44-yard game-changing pass) asked for it.
Peter King broke the play down thoroughly in his Super Bowl Monday Football Morning in America column. An NFL Films video released later in the week confirmed that quarterback Patrick Mahomes suggested the play, and showed how the Chiefs were able to execute it — thanks to Mahomes' arm and Hill's legs.
Madden continues to be the exclusively-licensed NFL/NFLPA video game. Patrick Mahomes is on the cover of this year's version; the outcome of the season presumably blows the Madden Curse concept out of the water, for good.

Orman Clears Top Five
Twentieth Television's The Suze Orman Show has been cleared in the top five U.S. markets, with the sales split between stations owned by NBC and Viacom Inc., according to people familiar with the clearances.
The Fox-owned syndicator has yet to announce the deals. Twentieth Television officials declined comment late Tuesday. Officials at Viacom and Fox couldn't be reached.
The Suze Orman Show is one of four daily syndicated talk shows in development for next season.
- The Tyra Banks Show from Warner Bros has already cleared more than 80 percent of the country, including Fox-owned stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Dallas.
- The Martha Stewart Show from NBC Universal is cleared in more than 75 percent of the country, including all 14 stations owned by NBC.
- Sony hasn't announced any clearances for its talk candidate, The Robin Quivers Show. Quivers is Howard Stern's feisty sidekick on the shock jock's daily talk show.

Mar 16, 201511:05 AMBlaska's Bring It!
with David Blaska
We need to tell our stories, if they fit the liberal narrative
(page 1 of 2)
To redeem the March 7 death of 19-year-old Tony Robinson, who was shot while struggling with a white police officer in Madison, "local peace activist" Bonnie Block prescribes the politics of redistribution, racial preference, and victimhood. In other words: more of the same.
"We need to tell our stories," says the local peace pest in Friday's Capital Times. But wait, there's more. We are assigned to "learn the sobering statistics, and deal with our fears so that we can get over our stupid 'tough on crime' mentality, and focus on our responsibility for ending the conditions that cause crime."
That seems to be the dominant narrative here in the Emerald City. But permit Blaska, local common-sense activist, to suggest that the liberal playbook we've been using these last 50 years is part of the problem.
Tell our stories? Here are some stories I hear in the Meadowood neighborhood on Madison's southwest side: "Did you hear those gunshots?" and "I put in new motion-detector lights." My old man's favorite story was shorter than an abridged O. Henry: "No work, no eat." We did not know that was white privilege.
Sobering statistics? In 2011, the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics found that blacks are six times more likely to be victims of murder than whites. At the same time, blacks were murdering eight times more often (34.4 to 4.5 per 100,000). It wasn't a white cop who killed 17-year-old Karamee Collins Jr. six springs ago in Meadowood. It was other black, teenaged gang bangers.
It is "stupid" to be tough on crime? Consider this: What if Tony Robinson had been sentenced to prison for his armed robbery instead of fitted for an ankle bracelet? Might he be alive today? His possible drug abuse and mental health issues treated? It is instructive that the local Al Sharpton franchise wants the immediate release of only black jail inmates. So much for Dr. King's content of one's character. We've regressed to "separate but unequal" standards of behavior. We've given up on the Constitution.
Bonnie Block says it's a "crime" that we have so much poverty in our community. There are no opportunities in Madison, Wis.? Bad public schools? Employers are practicing Jim Crow, undetected? It's the other way around, people: crime causes poverty.
The liberal school board, Common Council, and County Board demand an end to "institutional racism." If they're not the institutions in question, who is? Who blocked the Urban League's proposed Madison Prep charter school, which would have demanded minority achievement? Answer: Mayor Paul Soglin and teachers union boss John Matthews.
If poverty is a crime, I encourage jobless Wisconsinites to peruse the 80,000 jobs available on the Wisconsin jobs website:
It's not a supply problem, it's a demand problem. . . . .
like the government running Wisconsin now is doing a good job?
whet's the job number for walker,and his cronies, at ????
The liberal playbook is part of the problem: No doubt.
The conservative playbook is part of the problem: No doubt.
You're willing to tell the truth, Dave. But not the whole truth. Conservative demagoguery has done no favors to minorities in this country. This is why the activists say the system (as defined by a two-party antagonistic process which you eagerly engage with) isn't broken, it's FIXED.
You can't say you're about common sense without telling the truth. When will you tell it, Dave?
Blaska you are right about the Capital Times. They have come to the realization that there can be no dissent from the Isthmus Orthodoxy. The Liberal message must be pure and without question from rouge conservatives.
Tony Robinson is a beacon for the perpetually aggrieved much like the "Gentle Giant" was. Two thugs with rap sheets and bad attitudes. The perpetually aggrieved should remember the old saying about not messing with the bull or you may get the horn. Of course I always remember my parents telling me that if I was ever confronted by a cop the best thing to do is either try to grab his gun or punch him. Yes, that's the ticket.
Almost all of human history had determinist forces telling the people to know their place and expect no more. We were sinners, slaves, peasants, women.... whatever.
A big part or American Exceptionalism is that, here, you can make your life what YOU choose.
This freedom, this opportunity is still exceedingly rare on our planet. Witness all the people of all colors that risk life and limb to get here.
Every day.
A side note; as a new arrival to S. Carolina from Wisconsin in 1981, I asked an elderly local lady about the state of race relations in the south. She said, "I'll explain the difference in racists. In the South they despise the race but often esteem the individuals. In the North its the other way around."
Dave - again, what is your love affair with Alex Gee and Kaleem Caire? Help me understand. Noble Wray at least acknowledged the "Chicago Problem" that Madison has, and tried to do something. I applaud him for that.
Gee and Claire are part of the same Sharpton machine. Entrepreneurs in the Black Grievance (err... Justified Anger) Industry. Claire wants to go back to pre-Brown v. Board of Education, and probably line a few pockets along the way. People like Gee and Claire are why Madison is so aggressively anti-white today.

Good things — Mississippi football & grandbabies
Oh my goodness. I don't know about you, but things have been CRAAAZY around here lately. For one, my husband right now is the most important person in the state of Mississippi. Well, one of the most important. Well, OK, an important person. (And, of course, to me he always is the most important person everywhere. This commercial message brought to you by the institution of marriage and soulmate-age.) Why is this, you ask? What has he done to bring such fame and fortune? Of course, those who know John L. Pitts are not surprised to discover the extent of his influence, but lately he holds in his hands, literally, the story that is shaking up everything anyone knows about football: namely, that the two teams his newspaper, the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, in Tupelo, covers — Mississippi State and Ole Miss — are in the top 10 in the AP poll. And, as of right now this very minute, they are no. 1 and no. 3 respectively. Pretty amazing. And now there's Heisman talk? All I know is that for the past few weeks, my sports editor husband has been working pretty much 24/7 to cover this national story for his local readers — not easy. But, as always, he's excelling. Of course, this could explain his recent encounter with a deer, on a heavily traveled road less than a mile from our downtown. I really don't like to think too hard about this. And what's even stranger is that my Republican-voting, NRA-supporting, Obama-criticizing husband went and bought a new car that's synonymous with all he makes fun of: a Prius. It's the mileage, you know. And the anti-deer capabilities.
Well, those are not even the most exciting things to happen to our family lately. Our third precious grandbaby-boy got born last weekend. Older Daughter and son-in-law did an amazing job of completely un-medicated childbirth in a hospital suite dedicated to a natural and drug-free experience. She is a warrior mom, through and through. I did un-medicated by accident with Younger Daughter (Me: "I really think that we need to go to the hospital now." Husband-at-the-time: "No. You can't be that close to pushing yet." Folks at the hospital as soon as we got there: "Get this woman to delivery stat!!!"), and there's something to be said for it — now that I'm 28 years away and have pretty much forgotten the details. And speaking of totally awesome Younger Daughter, she now shares her birthday with her third nephew, which is the second shared birthday in our family. I think we're on a roll.
My Three Papers
This is the one spot in the world — that I know of, at least — where three of my worlds collide. And, strangely enough, I'm pretty much the only person who takes notice of such a significant location. Everybody else just hurries past because they have Things To Do. But not me. Well, I usually do have Things To Do, but whenever I'm here at this spot, I always stop and consider that I have at one time worked and/or am currently working for all of these newspapers. I just think that's … well, I'm not sure what I think about it. Only that these three papers represent a huge chunk of what I do and who I am and, as different as they are from each other, it's sort of jarring, I guess, to see them all lined up. It's the majority of my working life, lurking outside of Jack's in Iuka, Miss. And then, of course, I get to thinking about newspapers (see "the demise of ") and friends & talented journalists who are moving on before they get moved and the painfully irretrievable loss that is. Sigh. Deep, deep sigh. On the other hand, each of these papers serves its community brilliantly, and I'm honored to be a tiny part of that success. (Also: They all have "Daily" in the title although one of them is lying.)
Letters to Home
I adore working on a college campus. I love the energy and the enthusiasm of 20-somethings. I always defend them when folks start conversations with "Oh my gosh, can you believe kids today?" Almost every student I encounter WANTS to be in school and WANTS to learn (at least something) and many of them work two jobs and drive two hours and otherwise sacrifice A LOT to be at school. On the other hand, sometimes this generation sort of stuns me. Such as when I recently noticed this how-to-address-an-envelope tutorial taped to the mail-center counter in the student center. "Are you seriously telling me that some students don't know how to address an envelope?" I asked the mail-center staffer, incredulously. She nodded grimly. "We just got tired of explaining it all the time," she said. I know that actual paper envelopes are going the way of landlines, CDs and watching movies in a movie theatre — but still. I mean, can you believe kids today?
From the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal
The great thing about having two writers in the house is that we
freely can borrow from each other whenever one of us is too lazy to actually write for ourselves and we shamelessly appropriate each other's experiences share. Well, it's mainly me who does that. But what my husband, Tupelo, Miss., sports editor John Pitts, says here in his weekly column for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal is true: Our grandson occasionally lost focus on the T-ball field, it's a delight to watch athletes who love what they do and baseball definitely is boring.
JOHN L. PITTS: Let's keep some fun in games
My older grandson, who's 5, got his first taste of T-ball this year.
He really likes practice – we're talking about practice, y'all – because there's more hitting and running and doing stuff. He's less enamored of baseball's quiet stretches, an attitude he may get from his grandmother, my wife. Her immortal observation, "Baseball is so boring!" will probably never be enshrined in Cooperstown.
He's learned to adapt.
His mother reports that, sometimes when he's playing in the outfield, he just tosses his glove aside, lays in the grass and stares at the sky.
It looks like he has the right attitude.
With high school and college practices – football and all the other fall sports, too – under way, it's worth considering that we're all looking in the wrong place sometimes. Maybe that big cloud that looks like a monkey is the real point, not the issue of where to throw the ball with a man on second.
We've gotten so cynical about sports – and let's face it, we earned it – that we're not sure what to make of players who seem too happy doing their thing. The pure joy of the Dodgers' rookie Yasiel Puig presents quite a contrast to many of his mercenary rivals.
Whatever his off-court problems, it's the outsized style of Ole Miss guard Marshall Henderson that seems to provoke the most reaction.
My grandson, meanwhile, really does have his eye on the ball – so to speak.
High hopes
I hope the youngsters who're practicing never lose sight of the fact that it's a game. It's hard work, yes, but for the larger purpose of playing well.
I hope coaches who're leading them never lose sight of the fact that these are young people who may not realize it now, but are learning lessons they'll rely on for a lifetime.
I hope the parents and fans keep some perspective – do they make that any more? – and remember that good sportsmanship isn't just a good idea for sportsmen.
And I hope we make every deadline, but along the way I hope we'll have fun getting there.
John L. Pitts (email@example.com) is sports editor of the Daily Journal.
When Sports Editors Leave Town
This is my husband. This is my husband on vacation. I offer it as photographic proof that he actually can get away from his office occasionally and relax. Like most newspaper folks and especially like most newspaper editors and doubly especially like most newspaper sports folks, he is dedicated to and enthusiastic about his job. To him, following sports stories online for six hours straight isn't "work" — it's just what he does. And he does it well. He also is an exceptional boss. He supports and encourages the sportswriters and copy editors he works with and never asks anybody to do anything he wouldn't do himself. Like be at the newspaper 12, 15, 20 consecutive days. In a row. Now, he and I both are pretty independent people — having a commuter marriage for several years will do that to you — and I rarely invoke a wifely clause but sometimes I just have to insist we Get Away. Luckily, there's a window of relative calm that comes after college baseball and before SEC Media Days when he'll agree to sneak off for a week, provided he can take 1) his laptop, 2) his cell phone and 3) my laptop, tablet and smartphone for back-up. He even wandered out to the beach a couple of times. But at least being almost 400 miles from the newspaper prevented those "I think I'll just run over to the office for a little bit" moments.
Rambling Writing
Every time I see this sign — on the side of a building in downtown Pensacola, Fla., — I always think it's talking about my chosen-and-now-part-time field of journalism and how truly it is "citizen journalism" because reporters don't have to earn specialized degrees or procure official certifications or register anywhere for anything. Can you write clearly, accurately, entertainingly and well? Good. You're hired. Do you make things up, ignore the facts and don't understand the difference between "you're" and "your"? Sorry. Nice try. On the other hand, as journalism jobs disappear and the journalism landscape shifts almost daily, training and professionalism are key. Another thought: This obviously is my morning to ramble. Perhaps I should get ready to go to work? And kudos to the registered professional COURT reporters at Hitchcock & Associates in Pensacola. Love your sign.

I hate moving.
No, I DETEST moving.
I have been fortunate. I have only moved several times in my life — college, medical school, home in Connecticut where I stayed for 27 years. Then we came down to Maryland in 2008 and now we are moving back to Connecticut.
I detest moving.
To me, it feels like societal disruption and upheaval. I am in a state of constant PANIC. What to throw out, what to save, where do I pack some items, what do I leave for the professional movers. My life is in front me, bare and unvarnished. Memories, the vast majority good but some incredibly traumatic and disquieting. I am forced to face the past and would rather not dwell on it. If I work hard enough on MOVING, I do not have time or energy to ruminate. However, at 0300 hrs the dreams and nightmares intrude and I am up to ward them off. An hour later I return to bed and try to get sleep. The next day, the cycle repeats.
I detest moving.
I know that within 24 hours of actually moving back home, the uproar and committee arguments in my brain will dissipate and then disappear. I have 30 days to endure this torture, though. Sometimes I think I should just surrender and stay put in the present house. Then reason intervenes and I am back packing boxes, rifling through papers and thinking about what an adventurous and mad journey the last four years has been.
I should not have waited until I was 53 years old to do this. I am too old for all this craziness.
But, as my wife continually tells me, when have I ever lived the way normal people do?
I detest moving. I swear I will NEVER do it again.

Accidents are going to happen. That's just one of the intrinsic truths of life. Even if you are careful and sensible, there is no accounting for the behavior of other people. And sometimes you can become a victim of somebody else's foolishness, which leads to an accident.
You could be enjoying a peaceful walk in the woods when a speeding mountain biker comes tumbling over a hill, smashing you in the face with his front tire. Or you could be sitting patiently at a red light when a text messaging driver slams into your rear sending your face into your own steering wheel. You could be sleeping soundly on your couch when your two year old decides to practice her golf swing…on your face.
Here at Panama City Smiles, we know that even the most careful people get into accidents from time to time. And by their very nature, accidents are hard to see coming. That is why you need to be prepared at all times. Keeping a several dental emergency kits nearby will help you deal with an injury to mouth calmly and effectively, so that you can minimize the damage of the injury before you get to our office in Panama City, FL
What Goes In a Dental Emergency Kit
As you have probably already guessed, dental emergency kits are like first aid kits with specific supplies that are useful to treat a dental injury. As such, you should keep one wherever you keep first aid kits, like your car or under the kitchen sink.
Tweezers – You'll will need these to pick up a broken or dislodged tooth. Small teeth can be hard to handle, and you want to avoid touching them with your bare hands, anyway. So a pair of tweezers is essential for a dental emergency kit. Just make sure to never pick a tooth up by its root because the root is more vulnerable to damage than the crown.
Sterile Gauze – Gauze can be found in just about any first aid or emergency kit, and for good reason. They are versatile enough to be useful in almost any emergency situation. Whether you need a bandage, a compress, or something to wrap a tooth or dental appliance in, some sterile gauze will do the job.
Pain Relievers – For some reason, many people think you should just put up with the pain of a dental injury until you see your dentist. As if we won't believe you when you tell us it hurt really bad when it happened.
There is absolutely no need to suffer through pain. Keep some fast acting pain relievers in your dental emergency kit because some level of pain is almost certain to accompany a cracked tooth, or some other injury to your mouth. The common types of pain reliever are ibuprofen (Motrin) and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Since bleeding is often a part of a dental emergency, don't use aspirin because it is a blood thinner.
A Small Container – In a pinch, you could use sterile gauze to wrap up a dislodged or broken tooth, but it is better to have a small plastic container that can hold liquids. To keep your knocked out tooth healthy while you make your way to our office in Panama City, you need to cover it in milk. A small container, or even a resealable sandwich bag, is handy for this reason.
An Emergency Contact Card – If you have suffered a dental injury you could have some trouble talking, and the last thing you want in this situation is to have to worry about communicating with those trying to help you. An emergency contact card will have all the names and numbers of the loved who need to be notified about about your injury, along with the number for Panama City Smiles, 850-588-0185.
The sooner we can see you in our office, the sooner we can treat your injury and get you on your way to recovery. So, when the unexpected happens, give us a call.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment to learn more about how to prepare for dental emergencies.

Being gay is not gay at all
Ranjit fixes up an older man on a train and goes on a rollercoaster ride. A look at his life and troubles
By Shevlin Sebastian
Accountant Ranjit, 25, meets Mohan, 45, while traveling on the Sabari Express.
Mohan, a doctor, is going to Thiruvananthapuram for a conference.
Ranjit has a passion for men above 40. "So, I smile at him," he says.
Mohan says, "Do you know of any gays?"
Ranjit replies, "I am one."
They start talking. Mohan tells Ranjit he is married and has a son. Then he starts crying.
"My wife, the sun in my life, has thrown me out because of my gay tendencies," he says. "Society is too conventional."
Ranjit says, "The only way is to get out of Kerala or go abroad."
Suddenly, Mohan smiles and says, "I want to hug you. Your cheeks are moon-like. Can I enjoy it tonight?"
Ranjit says, "You have a sun in your life, so why are you reaching out for the moon?"
Mohan says, "I don't know. I am confused."
They reach Thirivanathapuram at 7 p.m. and head for a hotel. Mohan does not want to stay at Tampanoor, near the station, because he fears somebody might recognise him. "If people come to know I am gay they will condemn me," he says.
In the hotel room Ranjit waits for the promised hug, but Mohan says, "Let's have dinner first." When they finish eating, Ranjit says, "Let's start." But Mohan goes to the balcony to smoke a cigarette.
After a while, he returns and says, "Let the city sleep. Then we will start." Ranjit gets angry and says, "The city will not sleep. Instead, it will peep."
They finally make love. But Mohan keeps looking through the window, even though the room is on the third floor. Then he begins to cry. An exasperated Ranjit shouts, "What is wrong with you?"
Mohan shakes his head from side to side and emits a series of low groans.
"I feel so afraid," he says. "I think I am going to have a nervous breakdown. I cannot live this double life. It is eating into me."
They try to make love again, but Mohan is too disturbed. They stay awake the whole night. Non-smoker Ranjit watches as Mohan finishes four packets of cigarettes.
"Do you know what my eight-year-old son told me recently," says Mohan. "'Papa, please smoke 12 packets a day so that you will die fast'. He hates me. I am sure his mother has brainwashed him."
Mohan and Ranjit check out of the hotel at 5.30 a.m. and go their separate ways.
Like Mohan, Ranjit is trying to find a way to survive in homophobic Kerala. He discovered he had homosexual tendencies when he was in Class 6.
"I was getting attracted to boys," he says. "Most of my friends said they found girls exciting. But I did not have any infatuation for the opposite sex."
At 12, he starts masturbating and has fantasies of sleeping with boys. At 14, he seduces his older cousin, Prem.
"I told him I was desperate to have my first sexual experience," says Ranjit. "Finally, Prem agrees to sleep with me, but tells me to keep it a secret. We make love for a short while. Then Prem gets up and goes away, feeling disturbed."
A year later, a frustrated Ranjit begins to make passes at his classmates. They complain to his parents who take him to a psychiatrist. Thereafter, he has several hormonal treatments to alter his orientation, but does not change.
He is also disappointed to discover he has a small penis. "It is only two inches long," he says. "My testicles are small, and there is hardly any semen."
His parents spent Rs 5 lakh on the treatments, but have finally given up. "Thank God for that," says Ranjit.
But like all conventional middle-class parents they are urging him to get married, even though they know he will be unable to father a child. "I don't want to ruin a girl's life," says Ranjit. "I am willing to have a marriage of convenience with a lesbian."
Marriage or not, Ranjit has been sexually voracious. So far, he has slept with more than 100 men. "The unusual thing is that I have rarely slept with gays," he says. "The men are usually straight or bisexual."
He remembers being invited by a film producer to his house. "He took me straight to the bedroom and made love," he says. "His wife was in the kitchen and I have a feeling she knows about his bisexual orientation."
Even as he talks, a lover calls on the mobile. "We will meet next week," says Ranjit. The caller is a senior manager in an IT firm, married, with two children.
"He told me he has a happy life with his family," says Ranjit. "So, I don't know why he is crazy about me. He likes to take me out on dates. He talks a lot about his life and enjoys sex with me."
Despite the good times, being gay has been a torture for Ranjit. "I have to act like a normal person in society when all the time I have sexual desires for men, and I am unable to express it openly," he says. "There is an emotional and physical toll when you live a secret life."
Ranjit pauses, wipes away a tear and says, "When will Kerala society accept me?"

Seth Rogen on His Good Movies, His Bad Movies, and His Apology From Katherine Heigl
"F-ck, we're so funny together," Seth says of his and Katherine's comedic chemistry in "Knocked Up"
Not too long ago, Seth Rogen was in New Mexico with his longtime writing partner Evan Goldberg doing what they've been doing for years: Hanging out and smoking weed. The two flipped through what was on TV and stumbled upon their 2007 movie "Knocked Up," starring Seth and Katherine Heigl.
"As I was watching it, I was like, 'Fuck, we're so funny together, me and Katherine,'" Seth told Howard during his Stern Show appearance on Monday morning, adding that while making the movie, he got the sense that he and Katherine would wind up shooting several comedies together. The onscreen couple's chemistry was praised by audiences and critics alike when the movie was released, but while promoting the film, Katherine made headlines after telling reporters she didn't like the person she was asked to play in "Knocked Up."
"I thought she hated us," Seth told Howard. "We made a movie, I was very proud of it, it was critically very well received."
Seth continued: "Then we just heard that she didn't like it and that it seemed that she didn't have a good experience making it and that she didn't feel as though the product was reflective of how she thought she should be portrayed."
In April, Katherine visited the Stern Show and told to Howard that her quotes about "Knocked Up" got taken out of context, explaining that she was criticizing her own performance, not the movie or character that Seth and Judd Apatow created.
"They were incredibly good to me on this movie, so I did not mean to shit on them at all," Katherine told Howard. She eventually issued an on-air apology to Rogen in the form of a song.
When asked about Katherine saying (or singing) sorry to him, Seth told Howard that he can relate to having to apologize.
"Every week I send three apology emails to people," he joked. "I've said a thousand stupid things and I really like her." And when asked whether or not he would take a call from Katherine, Seth answered, "Of course."
"If she actually didn't like the movie, which is valid … then that I am actually very sympathetic to," Seth said. Rogen said he knows firsthand how difficult it is to be forced to promote a film that you're not 100% proud of. He had to do just that for 2012's "The Guilt Trip," a movie he made alongside Barbra Streisand.
"I did have a wonderful time making it," Seth said, telling Howard that the script for the film was actually one of the best he's ever read. "As we were making it I was beginning to suspect it was not turning out in the way I hoped."
Seth wasn't the only one who sensed the film was struggling – Barbra grew concerned with the movie during production, as well.
"We would talk about how we did not think it was coming together," Seth told Howard. "I'm more surprised when any movie is good … A hundred million things need to come together in order to make a movie good that I am not surprised when movies are bad. I am shocked when movies are good."
Seth Rogen's new movie "Sausage Party" (which JD Harmeyer gave rave reviews to) is in theaters Friday, Aug. 12.

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or sunflower oil
- 400ml pomegranate juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- 1 lemon, juiced and zest peeled into strips
Oval in shape with a pronouced bulge on one end, lemons are one of the most versatile…
- 3 tbsp honey
Honey is made by bees from the nectar they collect from flowers. Viscous and fragrant, it's…
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 8 pork belly slices (about 750g)
- 50g pomegranate seeds
- green vegetables or a fresh grain salad, to serve (optional)
Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/ gas 3. Heat the oil in a wide, shallow ovenproof dish (or use a roasting tin that can go on the hob). Mix the pomegranate juice, cinnamon, allspice, lemon juice, honey and red wine vinegar together in a large bowl. Brown the pork for 2-3 mins each side, then add all the other ingredients, season and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid, or wrap the dish in foil, then transfer to the oven for 1 hr.
Uncover the dish, remove the pork and set aside. Skim off the fat and place the dish on the hob. Reduce the sauce to a sticky glaze before returning the pork to the dish and basting. Increase the temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and return the dish to the oven. Continue cooking for another 45-50 mins until the pork is really tender. Scatter with the pomegranate seeds and serve with green veg or a fresh grain salad, if you like.
