We had such a fabulous time during our trip to the Virginia countryside earlier this month that we wanted to share it all with you. See our previous blog for full disclosure on the first 36 hours of our stay.
After a beautiful evening at Keswick Hall, where the Capitol Grille's Executive Chef Tyler Brown joined forces with chefs Walter Bundy and Aaron Cross to prepare a four-course meal for guests of the hotel's Summer Bounty Garden Party, we retired to our rooms for a good night's sleep. If the delicious food and wine we sampled throughout the evening weren't enough to put us into a deep, peaceful rest, the beds at Keswick Hall were so luxurious that we were in dreamland before we could count to three.
We woke the next morning well rested and ready to continue our adventure in Old Virginia.
Saturday morning & early afternoon – Edible Orange Fest
Tyler, Walter and Aaron were asked to participate in Orange, Va.'s second annual Edible Orange Fest. The drive to Orange was gorgeous. Rt. 22 was a patchwork quilt of farm after farm with a pocket of Keswick Vineyard peeking through. When we arrived at the festival, the bottom dropped out; the sky opened up and, as we unloaded our supplies from the cars, we got drenched. We had passed a co-op on the drive there, so we hiked back and bought the first dry shirts and jackets we could grab. Now, one of my favorite pieces of clothing is my new, pink John Deere t-shirt.
Once we were settled, the master chefs went to work and, naturally, the sun came out. We had a beautiful day and the visitors at the festival crowded into the demonstration tent to listen to the chef-farmers talk about the bounty of summer harvests and how they incorporate the seasonal produce in their kitchens.
First up was Tyler, who showcased some of summer's freshest fruits with a melon soup.
Melon Soup
- 1 ea. cantaloupe melon
- 2 ea. lemon
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
Mix sugar and water together until sugar is dissolved. Next, mix all remaining ingredients together in a blender and chill. Garnish with anything fresh from the garden such as thinly sliced yum yum peppers and shaved fennel with lemon juice.
Chefs Walter Bundy was up second. He taught guests how to prepare a Hanover Tomato Gazpacho and Aaron Cross finished it out with a chilled Henley Orchard Peach and Lavender Soup with Caromont feta. The recipes for their soups may be found on each of their websites.
The three chefs had as much fun preparing and serving their dishes for guests as the guests, a well-heeled group of food growers and lovers, had tasting them. They swapped stories about gardening and the things they've learned from tending to their gardens.
Saturday late afternoon & evening – Polyface Farm
Once the chefs finished their demos, we headed to Polyface Farm, a family owned, pasture-based farm that is beyond organic and perfectly situated in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
Three generations of the Salatin family support the farm. And it's their unconventional way of running Polyface that intrigued us so much that we had to visit.
Their mission is to develop emotionally, economically, environmentally enhancing agricultural enterprises and facilitate their duplication throughout the world.
We got an up-close view of just how they fulfill this mission. They run the farm their own way, disregarding conventional farming techniques and wisdom. The Salatins invented portable sheltering systems, which allow them to produce their animals on perennial prairie polycultures.
This should give you an idea of just what we're talking about…
The image above is a photo from our tour with Joel Salatin, a third generation alternative farmer at Polyface. Joel spent three hours showing us around his farm and teaching us all about his and his family's nontraditional ways of farming.
Displayed in the image above is one of the farm's portable sheltering systems—this one's specifically for the farm's stewing hens. As you can see, it's basically a moveable chicken coop.
But what's the point? The chickens eat ticks and other bugs that the cows leave behind. The farmers then move the coops around from pasture to pasture so that the animals are always on fresh grass. So, the purpose of the moveable shelter is to produce a truly organic environment for the animals.
It's no surprise that Polyface Farm, which means "the farm of many faces," doesn't just specialize in raising and producing one animal. Their production models include all of the following:
- Pastured eggs
- Pastured turkeys
- Salad bar beef (not breed specific)
- Pastured broilers
- Forage-based rabbits
- Stewing hens
- Pigaerator pork
- Forestry/lumber
The Salatins also keep bees, which produce local honey that is known to treat allergies.
Touring Polyface with Joel was a real treat and the perfect ending to a beautiful weekend. We certainly didn't want to leave, but were excited to get back to our own farms after learning so much from Joel and the rest of the Salatin farmers. Tyler and Greg came back completely inspired by the visit—if you see any unconventional farming techniques taking place at Double H Farm or Glen Leven, you'll know where the inspiration came from.
And so concluded a magical visit to a beautiful state. We can't wait to visit our sister property, Keswick Hall, again. In the mean time, be sure to put Keswick Hall at the top of your travel list. Be sure to say hello to everyone from us.
Until next time, Virginia.

I could not agree more with this article from The American Thinker. It was brave and needed to be said.
The Troubling Prosecution of Dennis Hastert
April 29, 2016 By Michael Filozof
I don't like Dennis Hastert. During his tenure as Speaker of the House, my attitude toward him was, more or less, "Meh." Hastert is undoubtedly the pervert and sexual predator he is accused of being – he admitted so in court. In all probability, he got exactly what he deserved when he was sentenced to prison Wednesday.
That being said, I am troubled by the way Hastert was prosecuted. It seems to me that the government targeted Hastert because he was a prominent politician and, in so doing, threw the constitutional rights of criminal defendants out the window.
Hastert was accused of numerous incidents of homosexual contact with teenage boys over forty years ago, when he was a high school wrestling coach in Illinois. Hastert was never charged with those alleged crimes, because the statute of limitations for prosecuting him expired.
Hastert was instead indicted for violating federal banking law when he tried to pay one individual to keep quiet about the alleged abuse. The crime of "structuring" is utterly bizarre: if you take $10,000 cash out of your own bank account, the bank must report it to the federal government. If, however, you take $9,999 out, you will be accused of "structuring" the transaction to avoid the $10,000 reporting requirement.
In other words, the $10,000 number for reporting to the government that you took your own cash out of your own bank account isn't really the true number at all; whenever the government thinks you are "structuring" by taking out less, they will nail you for that anyway. It's like getting a ticket from a cop for driving below the speed limit because you were trying to avoid a speeding ticket. It's one of the most questionable prosecutions I've ever heard of.
But at Hastert's sentencing, both the federal prosecutor and the judge made clear that the case was really about the sexual allegations, not the banking issue. Hastert was sentenced to fifteen months – more than double the six months recommended by federal sentencing guidelines. U.S. district judge Thomas Durkin called Hastert "a 'serial child molester,' and ignor[ed] the defense's request for no prison time. 'Some conduct is unforgivable no matter how old it is,' Durkin told Hastert in a lengthy statement at the sentencing."
The judge's statement constitutes a serious problem in my view. Child molestation is not a federal crime; it's a state-level crime. Judge Durkin had no business sentencing Hastert in federal court for state-level crimes for which the Illinois statute of limitations had expired and for which Hastert never stood trial. But that's essentially what he did.
The accuser whom Hastert was trying to pay off remained anonymous. Why? In court documents, he is known as "Individual A." Individual A received over a million dollars from Hastert. Did he pay income taxes on the money? Did he report the cash payments he received in excess of $10,000 to the government? If not, shouldn't he be charged with tax evasion and failure to report cash transactions? What about blackmail? (In yet another strange twist, the Associated Press reports that "on Monday, Individual A filed a lawsuit saying he's been paid only about half of the money and is still owed $1.8 million.")
Other accusers who had not been paid off stepped forward at the sentencing – including the sister of a man who died from AIDS 21 years ago in 1995. "Stephen Reinboldt was named by prosecutors, who cited his sister, Jolene Burdge[.] … She told prosecutors Reinboldt's first homosexual experience was with Hastert[.]" Is Burdge accusing Hastert of "turning" her brother gay? (I thought the gay lobby tells us we're "born that way.")
Even if Burdge's allegations are true – which cannot be proven – what do they have to do with a sentencing in a federal banking case? Shouldn't the judge have thrown out such hearsay? And doesn't the testimony of relatives of long-dead "accusers" violate the Sixth Amendment's right of a defendant to "be confronted with the witnesses against him"?
This whole matter stinks to high heaven. It's pretty clear that the prosecution targeted Hastert because of his political status as a high-ranking Republican. Hastert may well have deserved it – and indeed, he cooperated with the prosecution by pleading guilty.
But the fact remains that other politicians – liberals, gays, and Democrats – have avoided criminal prosecution, while the feds threw the book at Hastert for things they didn't even really have jurisdiction over. Democratic rep. Gerry Studds had a homosexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy in 1983. He was censured by the House but subsequently re-elected and regarded as a gay icon for being the first openly gay congressman. Openly gay Democrat Barney Frank lived with a gay prostitute in the 1980s and was reprimanded by the House. He, too, was re-elected and regarded as a gay pioneer.
Why didn't federal prosecutors pursue Studds and Frank on flimsy unrelated charges? Why hasn't Hillary Clinton been charged with mishandling classified information, like Gen. David Petraeus – or sent to prison, like Bradley (ahem – "Chelsea") Manning? Why did Sen. Ted Kennedy get no jail time for killing Mary Jo Kopechne while driving drunk at Chappaquiddick – while Hastert will do fifteen months for withdrawing his own money from his own bank account? And what about the rape allegations against Bill Clinton?
The answer is clear: the criminal justice system isn't neutral; it's politicized. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, when the left was the counterculture, leftists were quite concerned with the criminal defense of Communists, hippies, draft evaders, pornographers, gays, civil rights marchers, and the like. Today, the left is politically ascendant and all too happy to stand idly by or be complicit in the prosecution of its Republican and conservative political opponents – e.g., Scooter Libby, Tom Delay, Rick Perry, and Dinesh D'Souza. Legions of liberal lawyers are willing to defend minority drug dealers and murderers – was none of them willing to question the prosecution of Hastert? Why did the gay lobby not speak out on his behalf?
The Constitution requires that the government must prosecute people fairly and abide by the letter and the intent of the law. That means that sometimes, people who morally deserve punishment will legally get off without it (such as O.J. Simpson).
Hastert is unquestionably a bad guy to defend. But the object here isn't to defend Hastert; it's to criticize the government. In the Hastert case, the government seems to have railroaded a guilty man. But if they can railroad Hastert, they can railroad anybody – including you and me.

Today -100: December 27, 1915: We are not out for friendly understandings with the enemy this Christmas tide
Oh, good, another day of the NYT Index being out of whack. The story "British Troops Feast While Shells Shriek," for example, can helpfully be found if you just look up "Big Profits in Hosiery," while clicking on the former headline in the index will give you the story of a Mrs Spofford Wyckoff of Stamford, Connecticut who has left her husband and taken their infant son in defiance of a court order.
The former story, if you can bloody find it, is reprinted from the Daily Chronicle (London), which says "We are not out for friendly understandings with the enemy this Christmas tide. For twelve months British soldiers have suffered too much to forget and forgive, and out beyond the trenches there are dead bodies across which our men cannot treat the enemy in the spirit of charity." In other words, the generals on both sides ordered continual shelling in order to prevent another embarrassing Christmas truce.
Tory newspapers in Britain are attacking Prime Minister Asquith, chiefly over the failed Dardanelles campaign. There is a bit of a campaign to replace him with Lloyd George, which will happen, but not for a year.
A large mob which went to the Muskogee County (Oklahoma) jail to lynch two black men is tricked when they're snuck out the back door dressed in militia uniforms.

Leader staff writer
Did Jacksonville vote to annex Gravel Ridge Tuesday evening? As of early Wednesday morning no one knew for sure. Unofficial results are 3,319 for annexation and 1,733 against.
Thunderstorms rolled through central Arkansas Tuesday evening knocking out power to a block or more of office buildings in Little Rock, which included the county office building--the location of the Pulaski County Election Commission.
"We are just sitting here in the dark," one commission worker said about 9 p.m., almost 90 minutes after early voting and absentee ballots were supposed to be counted and posted on the commission's website.
Jacksonville voters, who visited the polls earlier in the day drove by yard signs, declaring "Vote for progress, vote for annexation." Those voting in the Gravel Ridge area saw yard signing asking voters to say no to annexation, and one large billboard near the First Baptist Church of Gravel Ridge, a polling site, urging voters to say yes to Sherwood instead of Jacksonville.
Regardless of the official results in the Jacksonville-Gravel Ridge vote, another election on the annexation issue has been set for March 11. That vote, to determine whether or not Sherwood will also annex Gravel Ridge, will be open only to Sherwood and Gravel Ridge residents.
If the majority in both elections vote for annexation, meaning both Sherwood and Jacksonville want Gravel Ridge, then just Gravel Ridge residents will vote April 1 to determine the fate of the 2,500-acre rural community of more than 3,500.
Jacksonville tied the annexation vote to the presidential primary elections, saving money and hoping for a large turn out.
Jacksonville passed an ordinance late last year annexing rural community. But when a city goes out and annexes an area, state law requires that the city and the affected area vote on the annexation. If the majority of voters say yes, then the area becomes part of the city. If the majority of voters say no, the area is not annexed.
Once a city announces that it plans to annex an area, other municipalities, which border the affected area, have the right to also annex the area. Sherwood exercised its right, setting up the March 11 vote.
John Hardwick, the new president of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, believes the annexation is a good move for both communities.
"It will help us protect Little Rock Air Force Base from any encroachment that could jeopardize the base," Hardwick said. "It is also a natural growth pattern for us. We have been moving out in that direction for a number of years," he added.
In an oversize postcard mailed to area residents by the Positive Growth for Gravel Ridge and Jacksonville group, Mayor Tommy Swaim said that Gravel Ridge would benefit from the annexation.
He said the community would have improved public safety with faster response times for police and fire protection. Swaim also said Gravel Ridge would also have improved sanitation services with four times the trash service they now get for $60 less a year.
On the negative side, and not on the mailer, is an increase in sales tax. The tax on prepared food items would go up two cents, and the tax on other items would go up a penny.

As Boswell to my husband Paul Hager, who blogs too infrequently, I wanted to report his latest political observations.
Romney has taken some criticism for focusing on PBS' funding, given that it apparently amounts to $1.25 per family. (I'm not sure whether Biden made this point during the vice-presidential debate.) Notes Paul: the British did not predict, and could not understand, why the colonists would throw perfectly good tea into Boston Harbor when the price of tea had been cut in half, and only a very small tax imposed. Principle? Did these colonists actually care so much about principle, when their pocketbooks would be spared by the change?
We've drifted very far from our founding foundations, but perhaps there are some vestiges remaining.
In the interest of accuracy, Paul also notes that Romney may not have been thinking of federal government overreach or the constitutional limits on federal power, the founding principles involved. However, a similar analysis may apply to what Romney did say, which was that any federal expenditure at this point should pass the test of whether it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for it.

I recently had a nice conversation with the lovely ladies of Wedding Paper Divas and we found we have something in common, a love of garden weddings. Below are some of the top wedding trends for this year's garden weddings, and some of our favorite invitations from Wedding Paper Divas that fit the theme perfectly.
A big trend for the season is pop hues. Starting with your invitations you can carry a bold and bright hue throughout your event to create a cool, fresh feel.
Decorating your garden wedding reception is your chance to stay somewhat simple but also elegant. One of the benefits of a garden wedding is you can use nature and the greenery as your décor. One style we love is rose petals in the aisle and using garden chairs and colored cushions to add a pop.
Another trend we have noticed this summer is bridesmaids are wearing alternate colors. This image from Eating Lemons is a perfect example of a bridal party at a summer wedding with peach and tango colored dresses, each with their very own style. It will definitely add to the feel of the summer wedding and create beautiful photos! Very fun.
Mason Jars are coming under a lot of attack these days, but if you like the idea then a mason jar cocktail can be a creative extra to your wedding and a fun DIY project for you and your bridesmaids! You can serve lemonade, mint juleps, or Bellinis in these fun jars. It is an inexpensive addition to the wedding and adding a note and tying it with rope would be a perfect favor for your guests to take home.
What are your favorite summer wedding trends you have seen so far this year? How many weddings are you attending this summer?

Conscious Comedy: 11 Inspiring Shows at the Edinburgh Fringe
With over 3000 shows to choose from, a visit to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival can be overwhelming. However if you prefer your comedy with a conscience, here's the shows I recommend you check out either at the festival or when they go on tour;
Alfie Brown: Lunatic
Photo: James Deacon
Beautifully structured with a bubble bursting incident at its core. Lunatic, is Alfie's best work yet. I have been a loyal cheerleader for him since 2013, after I saw his show The Revolting Youth. I was inspired by his integrity onstage, he's one of the reasons I'm now a comic. Described as "A British Doug Stanhope" by The Guardian. The show features musings on the political landscape, from a unique and honest perspective. It's a free thinking powerful show touching on mental health, activism and sexual politics.
Monkey Barrel. 21:30. Until 26th August. £7
Darren Harriott: Visceral
Acerbic social commentary. A powerful show exploring gang culture, politics & mental health. All the things I care about as a feminist, from a male perspective. There are lots of comics who will discuss these issues, but his voice is more authentic because of lived experience. Darren is relaxed, funny and beautiful. His show really touched my heart. He's from my neck of the woods where we don't always get opportunities come easily. Please support this man. He is going to be legendary.
Pleasance Courtyard - Beneath. Until 26th August (Not 22nd.) £10
Laura Lexx: Trying
An hour on anxiety, depression and climate change. Laura became very worried about the world when she started trying for a baby, experiencing a kind of postnatal depression minus the actual baby. It gets dark in places but the balance is perfect. Some funny and relatable stories about camping. Also, I now remember more GCSE French, leaving me feeling quite clever as an audience member.
Gilded Balloon Teviot - Turret. Until 26th August. £9.50 (£8.50 conc)
Matt Price: Last Night a Weegie Saved My Life
Hilarious, endearing and provocative. Matt gives us a glimpse into the male psyche, highlighting why movements like the Campaign Against Living Miserably are necessary. This is a sweet and honest love story with some dark turns, but there is light at the end.
Gilded Balloon Teviot - Wee Room. 19:00. Until 26th August. £11 (£9 conc)
Luisa Omielan: Politics for Bitches
After losing her mother to cancer last year, Luisa felt let down by the state and has become politically active. She's grieving and angry. It's hard to be funny when your soul is in turmoil but there are still plenty of jokes including an excellent bit about Mary Magdalene with insights on female sexuality. I could relate to her story. Me and my family have experienced similar system failings leading to loss of life. To use her platform to raise awareness is a brave and selfless act. She's known for being inspiring to women, but this show makes her a hero of the people.
Gilded Balloon Teviot Debating Hall. 21:15. Until 26th August (Not 23rd.) £15 (£13 Conc)
Harriet Kemsley: Slutty Joan
I couldn't stop the words "I love you so much!" from tumbling out of my mouth, as I passed her at the end with the bucket. Hilarious and moving. This is a show about how women are treated differently to men for enjoying sex, inspired by a Cornell University study. There is a powerful #MeToo story at the end. Her honesty and sweetness was so endearing. I'm smitten with her.
Voodoo Rooms. 17:55. Until Aug 25th August. PBH's Free Fringe
Eleanor Conway: Walk Of Shame 2
Eleanor creates a sexy safe space for us ladies. The men in the audience seem to feel privileged to witness what we get up to, when our need for adventure takes over. Her infectious excitement got me feeling ready for the weekend. I've seen Eleanor twice before, she has really blossomed as a comedian appearing more free onstage. She's your mad friend on a night out and we love her, but there is also a powerful message about sexual boundaries weaved within this show.
Laughing Horse @ Cabaret Voltaire. 21:00. Until 26th August. Free Festival
Dave Chawner: Mental
A comforting and uplifting hour about coping strategies to maintain mental health. It's packed with excellent jokes and Dave has a warm and welcoming presence on stage. He's written a book about his recovery from anorexia too. An inspiring voice.
Laughing Horse @ Counting House. 19:20 until 26th August. Free Festival
Juliette Burton: Butterfly Effect
A sweet and uplifting show about kindness. She creates a lovely environment for her audience as she describes her mental health challenges and presents us with videos of her social experiments. I felt inspired after this show. When a man carried my friends wheelchair down some stairs, I gave him a bubble bath from my NYRO shop as thanks for his kindness. Turns out it's the one he usually buys for himself. What a lovely synchronicity. #DareToBeKind
Fringe run finished but tour dates available at www.julietteburton.co.uk
Mark Thomas - Check Up: Our NHS at 70
My cousin and my hero, another one of the people who inspired me to do comedy. This show is important. It's about our NHS. What's going wrong with it and critically, how it can be saved. He shadowed doctors, interviewed those on the inside and the passion of his delivery brought me to tears. Take Tissues.
Traverse Theatre - Various times until 26th August. £21.50 (£16.50 Conc)
Eat Me
This is the only one on my list that is not a comedy show. It's a powerful and truthful play about anorexia. Through the archetypal devouring mother, we can easily understand how this disease can consume people. It's an evocative and compassionate piece. Written by Suzanna Walters who has experienced the illness herself and brought to life the stories of her fellow survivors. Found myself welling up at the end. Again, take tissues.
C Venues - C Aquila - Temple. 17:35 until 27th August. £10.50 (£8.50 conc)

A direct line of communication between North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will open today.
A direct line of communication between North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will open today with the connecting of a hotline between the two leaders.
Negotiations over Pyongyang's nuclear program have progressed recently, with Kim and Moon scheduled to meet next week. Moon recently claimed that the North is seeking "complete denuclearisation", as Seoul and the US want. North Korea's Communist Party will hold a plenary session today; any shifts towards denuclearisation could be revealed there.
On the American front, it was revealed that Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo met secretly with Kim over Easter weekend in preparation for the upcoming summit between the North Korean leader and President Donald Trump. Trump tweeted that the meeting went "very smoothly" and said he will likely meet Kim in early June.
All these developments point to talks continuing apace, perhaps even with the potential for a breakthrough. Look to Pyongyang to see if Kim mirrors Moon's claims about denuclearisation. Even if the North talks up the possibility, it is likely too wedded to its deterrent to give it up without significant concessions.

The 5 Most Common Causes of Toenail Fungus
Toenail fungus is very contagious and incredibly easy to get. It's a common problem in the nail that affects millions of Americans.
But how do you get it? Well, there are a lot of answers to that question. Almost all fungal nail infections come from dermatophytes and the ones that aren't, are caused by yeast and mold.
Many times, our lifestyle choices lead to fungal infections, but it really can be as simple as catching it from someone else. Read on to learn more about the causes of toenail fungus so you can prevent it from happening to you.
1. Barefoot in Public
When moisture gets trapped under the nail, toenail fungus begins. If you spend a lot of time in public barefoot, you're opening yourself up to this.
Also, toenail fungus spreads from person to person, so if you're walking barefoot in the same place that someone else with the fungus did, you're asking for trouble.
People commonly walk barefoot in public showers and swimming pools. It's easy for moisture to become trapped under our nails in these places, and when you add the fact that other people are walking barefoot there too it's just a breeding ground for toenail fungus.
You should wear sandals and shoes in public places at all times, save the barefoot business for home.
2. Injury to the Toenail
There are two kinds of trauma that your toenail can experience, acute and blunt.
With acute trauma, you are injuring your nail over and over again. Think about athletes and runners with shoes that don't fit. With every step they take, they drive their toe into the inside of the shoe.
When something heavy falls on your toes, or you bang them very hard, you're experiencing blunt trauma. Even if it just happens once, it's a lot easier to get toenail fungus. Make sure that your nail doesn't turn black after an injury like this.
Both of these injuries are painful and they leave you susceptible to yellow toenail fungus. Your nail becomes weak and prone to infection.
3. Circulatory Issues
If you have poor circulation in your feet, you must be very careful to steer clear from toenail fungus. People with this condition are more prone to issues with their feet.
People with poor circulation often cant tell they are having problems with their feet because of nerve damage. But that same poor circulation also makes it harder to treat and messes up our ability to heal.
If you have circulatory issues, check your feet for fungus every day.
4. Pedicures
As much as pedicures make us feel pampered and look great, they put us at risk for toenail fungus. If the salon doesn't properly sterilize their tools, nail salons are just as bad as public showers and pools.
If the tools the manicurist uses on your feet are the same tools that they used on someone with a toenail fungus, this spreads it around easily.
Try a home pedicure instead or bring your own tools for them to use.
5. Athlete's Foot
People often think athlete's foot and toenail fungus are the same things, but they're not. However, one can often lead to the other. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the skin that often happens in the toes and causes itching and burning.
If you don't treat your athlete's foot, it can spread to your toenails as well.
Causes of Toenail Fungus
These are just some of the causes of toenail fungus. You also leave yourself more susceptible to them if you get fake nails or if your body has a naturally weakened immune system. They are spreadable and they can affect anyone, and if left untreated they can become severe.
For information on how to treat this fungus and take better care of your feet, visit us today.

Last week, for Fetish Friday, I talked about those who have a fetish for being punished, lectured and disciplined. The list of suitable punishments included spanking, verbal abuse, sensory deprivation, choking and more.
One punishment featured in that list was restraint – and that's what we're going to be looking at in more detail this week!
Bondage has a huge part to play in the BDSM scene – that's why it's the first letter!
The practice of bondage can be very powerful, both physically and mentally, as well as being artistically beautiful at times.
What first comes to mind when we think of bondage is the surrendering of and seizing of power. The fate of the restrainee (sub) is completely in the hands of the restrainer (Dom). Once the sub is restrained, the Dominant partner is free to do whatever they desire (within the boundaries of pre-agreed hard and soft limits).
The Dom(me) may spank, flog or cane their sub, or gently tease them with silk a feather. The Dom(me) could stimulate the senses of their sub with ice, hot wax or even an electric sex toy. In addition to awakening their senses they could also isolate them by applying an eye mask, facial hood or by leaving them alone in solitude.
Bondage can however be far more extravagant than simply tying your partner to the bed; Japanese rope bondage is a type of erotic restraint by which a person is bound with a series of intricate knots to make patterns across the body. A dress can also be fashioned from rope.
For even more of a thrill, a bound submissive can be suspended from the ceiling, known as 'suspension bondage' for weightless sexual play.
But traditional bondage isn't the only way by which you can restrain your partner. Here are a few other fun and thrilling ways in which you can restrict your submissive during BDSM play…
Arm & leg sleeves
Restraint sleeves are great for ensuring that your partner doesn't 'fight back' during a D/s session. Restraining a female partner's arms behind her back in a sleeve will emphasise the sexiness of her breasts and give her an incredible shape.
For a hardcore BDSM dungeon feel, metal chains can be used as a method of restraining your submissive. Chains may be cold and heavy, adding to the brutality of the domination.
Cuffs, be them cute furry handcuffs, metal police style handcuffs, sexy leather cuffs or a completely different style, cuffs are certainly quick and effective for restraining your partner's wrists and ankles.
Achievable with bandages, cling-film, duct tape or some other material, mummification is the process of wrapping up a person's entire body, like an ancient Egyptian mummy, so that they cannot move. For heightened immobilization, arms may be bound to the torso and legs bound together so that limbs cannot move freely.
Strait jacket
Zipping your sub into a strait jacket is a very effective form of restriction. They won't be able to move their hands or arms at all and the aesthetic has that wonderful 'insane asylum' look to it.
Made popular in an era when it was socially acceptable to throw rotten tomatoes at the local drunk in the centre of the town, stocks can also be fun and degrading in the bedroom. When your sub's head and both of their hands are locked into stocks, there isn't much they can do to resist your torment.
Spreader bars
Lastly, and perhaps the sexiest form of restraint on this list, spreader bars! Spreader bars are designed to keep a submissive's legs WIDE OPEN, allowing the Dominant to use their body as and when they desire. In addition to granting all access to the Dom, spreader bars certainly ensure that your submissive won't be running away any time soon!
That's all for this week. Have a great weekend xx

Offering your patients the opportunity to preserve their adipose tissue and stem cells for use in the future is a valuable way to expand the services you offer to your patients, and a useful resource in case management. In many procedures, such as liposuction or abdominoplasty, the patient is already having their adipose tissue collected, and therefore, storage at the time of procedure is highly convenient because it requires no additional harvest procedure.
Patients that have their autologous tissue stored give you more options for treatment approaches, whether used alone or as an adjunct to commercial fillers and implants. Autologous tissue is natural, has no contraindications, and it is readily available as a resource for use as a dermal filler, in rejuvenation approaches, other cosmetic enhancements, or in future augmentation or reconstructive surgeries.
And, in light of the rapidly advancing fields of cell therapy and tissue engineering, many doctors feel that since we now know there is value in a patient's stem cells and adipose tissue, all patients today should be made aware of their option to bank before their resource is discarded.
Even if there is not the convenience of a scheduled procedure, any patient can elect to collect and store their adipose tissue and stem cells.
Procedures where storage can benefit your patient
Cosmetic and Augmentation Procedures
Facial rejuvenation
Breast augmentation (with or w/out implants)
Buttock augmentation (with or w/out implants)
Body asymmetry
Reconstructive Procedures
Breast reconstruction / radiation damaged skin
Trauma and wound care treatment
Stem Cell Therapy (Tissue Engineering / Regenerative Medicine)
Richest source of MSC (ASC) in the human body
Capable of differentiation into multiple cell types
Heart disease, stroke, orthopedic injuries, etc.

Yoga for kids….. the hottest trend in yoga! with more and more people getting information about yoga and it's benefits they want their kids to join yoga classes as early as possible. They want their kids to do as many number of poses as possible. Yoga for kids is now part of almost all yoga schools world wide.
I am writing on the basis of my observation I have done for the last few years through numerous kids yoga sessions. Here are my observations which may help in understanding the physics, chemistry and Biology of kids yoga.
1. The easiest thing you can do with kids is to either make them cry or make them happy if you try to do something else it needs presence of mind and immense patience.
2. Kids do not understand yoga they are there because their parents brought them there. Explaining the deep philosophies of yoga, details of Chakras etc aren't going to work.
3. No matter how much you try you cannot force them do yoga asanas. The only way through is do yoga yourself and show them that it's super fun doing it.
4. For kids yoga postures are no different than playing on the ground. And seriously kids don't care about alignment, posture etc. The only way to make them do perfectly is to offer them rewards as in points in any normal game.
5. The more questions you ask kids, the more interaction you have with each and every kid better the class will be. After a certain days in class kids start to interact with other kids. Start calling them with different names etc. It is the best time to involve each and every kid. Some kids get left out and they remain in back throughout the whole experience. Make sure you keep changing their position in the room everyday so that every one gets a chance to be more involved. It's like giving every one a chance to score a goal in soccer.
6. Do not bring forward kids for the sake of pictures. Make kids believe that you are asking them to do yoga in front to give them gifts / chocolates. It will increase their will to do better.
7. Make fun of yourself as much as possible. Adults may hold their laugh but kids don't. Doesn't matter if you would have dance like a monkey… do that. It's the best way to break the boredom and the best form of warm-up exercises.
8. Do not tell them what NOT to eat; tell them what are the thing they can eat only if they do Yoga. Like chocolates, of course!
9. Instead of explaining how to control breath while doing yoga use examples like how would you blow balloons on your birthday. Take deep breath do the required movement and blow ( to blow the balloon).
10. One more important thing. Instead of giving every kid a separate yoga mat use a big soft carpet kind of thing. It will give them enough room to move around, play around and still do yoga.
11. Yoga is not at all yoga for kids, it's just fun with kids. Using accurate Sanskrit and english names isn't going to help; Use Animal names with their voices..that helps! kids don't remember asana names but what they do remember is their dogs and cats name.
12. The moment you show them that you are a teacher you got yourself in a big trouble better be Santa who organizes games and give gifts to a kids who love to make animal voices and copy their movements.
These are my personal observations and have no scientific basis but there is no scientific algorithm to make your kid like yoga either.
As per my style of saving the best for the end.
Never in your entire class mention the benefits of yoga asanas.. or the disease it is going to cure unless you want me to come over and stop kids from crying.

We're officially saying goodbye to summer as both kiddos head back to school today. I'm going to totally ignore the fact that both are embarking on significant educational milestones (Hayden - last year of high school and Riely - last year of middle school) because that is what I'm good at. Denial.
At any rate, both were excited to start a new year, and it's one of the few times they actually let me photograph them anymore. I'm excited to scrap the first day of school photos (and will soon be working with the fall SCT Delivered Kits, which are perfect for all things back-to-school!) But in the meantime, I wanted to share one of my layouts from the summer kit, Picnics & Popsicles. There are a few kits left, so if you suddenly find yourself with some extra time now that those kids are gone, go grab one! We can scrap and be in denial together.
This colorful double pager features a few random shots from our previous summer. I always end up with quite a few photos that don't have any "mates" and don't really require a whole page to themselves. So I took the opportunity to collect a few that represented some our favorite summer memories and grouped them together here on a background of punched squares.
And now that I have all this free time with the kids back in school (chuckle chuckle), I hope to start blogging on a more regular basis. Not that posting once every six weeks isn't regular. Maybe I should say "more frequently"?? Or possibly just fess up to the fact that I'm a horrible blogger. Didn't I already say it? Denial, baby!
Happy end of summer peeps!

Kerlink plans for IoT expansion in US and Asia
Specialist in network solutions dedicated to the IoT, Kerlink, has said proceeds from its recent stock offering – the second one in less than a year – will help accelerate the company's expansion in the US and Asia. Kerlink is a fast-growing company and founding board member of the LoRa Alliance. Its suite of IoT equipment, software and services is helping to fuel the rapid global adoption of LoRaWAN technology, which enables the cost-savings and energy-efficiency features required for connecting billions of devices to the IoT.
Kerlink helps its customers in Europe and Asia design, plan, install and manage IoT networks for the full range of smart Internet of Things applications, such as fleet management, asset tracking, safety and security, parking, lighting, air-quality monitoring and water-and-electricity metering.
Since 2013, the company's compound average annual growth rate has exceeded 50%. Revenue grew more than 90% in fiscal 2016 compared to the previous year. Based on this market response, Kerlink is accelerating its expansion into Asia and North America, supported by its subsidiaries based in Singapore and Chicago.
Less than a year after its initial public offering in May 2016 that raised $11.4m, the company launched a second offering on 21st April, which was oversubscribed. The company announced on 12th May that the offer raised an additional $22.9m.
William Gouesbet, Co-founder and Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Kerlink, said the success of the recent stock issue highlights investor confidence in the company's growth strategy and its combination of network hardware, software and professional services. The company targets on the one hand large telecom operators that want to complement their broadband services with a dedicated cost-efficient, energy-saving and narrowband IoT network, and on the other hand smart cities or individual companies that want to deploy and operate their own IoT networks for smart value-added applications.
"Kerlink's success in the stock market stems from the growing demand for our comprehensive Internet of Things solutions, which address a broad and deep market sector," Gouesbet said. "With more than 70 projects underway worldwide, the take-off of our market is confirmed and opportunities must be rapidly seized."
"US companies and smart cities are sophisticated evaluators of available IoT network offerings," said Yannick Delibie, Kerlink's Co-founder, Chief Technology & Innovation Officer and President of Kerlink Inc., the US subsidiary. "They want future-proof, reliable and scalable turnkey solutions that enable rapid roll out and simple operation of their IoT networks, and Kerlink has proven in Europe and Asia that we can readily meet that demand."
Kerlink, which is a Platinum Sponsor for LoRa Alliance All Members Meeting and Open House event in Philadelphia, 12th to 15th June, sees the US as a strong market for its comprehensive turnkey IoT solutions.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Illustrate the meaning of "Make Hay While the Sun Shines" (without using the actual phrase or literal example). (03/06/08)
TITLE: The Call of the Child
By April Bailey
"Wow, Grampy." Molly leaned back into William with the gusto of a seven-year-old, forcing a cough and the opening of his eyes. "It's really snowing out there!"
They sat together in the window seat—William stretched out as if he were a younger man, holding his granddaughter as he had once held her mother a lifetime ago.
"Yeah?" William maintained his curled lips and swept back the curtain through which Molly had been peeking. Flakes large and fluffy poured from the white sky, falling yet in no hurry to reach earth. "This winter's really puttin' on a show."
The girl's mother, washing up the breakfast dishes, called to them across the open kitchen. "They say it's supposed to keep up like this through tonight. We may get three or four more feet before it's all done!"
In a flash, Molly turned in her grandfather's lap and, despite a rigorous pummeling of knees and elbows, blessed him with her green-eyed gaze. "I bet the snow's up to here on me," she said, laying a hand to her torso as if saluting on her stomach.
"It may well be." His laughter became coughs before quieting, and he stole a squeeze the child didn't mind giving. He marveled at the strength in those tiny arms, and, as long as they gripped him, he gripped back with no less vigor.
Molly gasped suddenly, breaking their embrace to meet William once more eye-to-eye. An idea of some magnitude illuminated her face and made her tongue dance around in her mouth briefly before settling for its purpose. "Sledding! We can go sledding!"
"Sweetheart," her mother said with a sad smile, "maybe when your father gets home, okay?" Her voice carried a familiar lilt that meant, I have too much to do today, and your dad will probably be too tired from work to take you, so don't get your hopes up.
William watched the illumination fade from that little face, and held her as she settled quietly back into his arms. The scent of strawberries rose from Molly's chestnut hair. Her body, once heaving from the leaping heart within her, surrendered to calmer breaths and returned to a slow, rhythmic rise and fall.
As Molly's mother finished the dishes and disappeared into the adjacent laundry room, the child turned from the window, no longer wishing to watch the snow. She lay limp against her grandfather, drained of her squirmy exuberance, and with no worsening of William's pain, the grimace that sought to pillage his countenance gained ground.
Decades had passed since his last wild romp in the New England cold, and aside from chilling winds that somehow brought life to one's cheeks, he remembered little of it. William knew if God saw fit to give him another day, his knees would most likely hurt. Tomorrow, unless God healed him, he'd still have cancer gnawing at his insides, setting off molten eruptions throughout his core. Tremors would govern his hands as aches ruled his bones and coughs shredded his lungs. Tomorrow, he'd be no worse off whether he sat on a cushioned window seat all day or not.
Lowering his head to Molly's, he whispered, "Why cast eyes upon good fruit if one cannot taste of it?"
"What, Grampy?"
He kissed the girl's ear, tapping her leg. "C'mon. Let's go."
She swung her legs over his, seeking answers. "What? Where?"
Meeting Molly's bejeweled eyes with his own, William brushed aside the curtain and led her gaze to the snowy playground beyond the window.
"Really?!" she squealed, and he shushed her as if one could contain dynamite ready to blow.
He scooted her to the closet, where a snowsuit and boots waited to ride with a child down a snowy hill. A fit of coughing overtook William as he hastened to his room, seeking to layer himself for the mission.
"You all right, Dad? You need anything?" his daughter called from the laundry room.
"No, honey." William grinned, holding hand against chest to restrain his own leaping heart. "Just answering the call."

Nikon Coolpix P500 Review
The Nikon Coolpix P500 is a rather modest update of its predecessor, the P100, with the new 36x zoom lens the star of the show. Being able to shoot ultra-wide angle landscapes and extreme close-ups with the same camera is very liberating, but the overall image quality is merely good, there are a few unresolved handling issues, there's RAW format, and it struggles to keep up with fast-moving subjects.
The main attraction of the P500 is of course that 22.5-810mm equivalent zoom lens, which covers the focal range of at least 4 SLR lenses. But there is a lot more to the Nikon P500 than just an insanely long zoom. It also offers SLR-like handling, manual exposure and focus, an eye-level viewfinder, an articulated and high-resolution LCD screen and full HD movies with stereo sound, full-time AF and optical zoom as well. The P500 is a very well rounded package that is surprisingly compact and lightweight and will more than satisfy the needs of many users.
In terms of handling, the P500 suffers from the same main issues as its predecessor. These include a lack of direct access to ISO speed and white balance, a missing second control wheel and the inability to attach an external flashgun. Generally speaking, however, the Nikon Coolpix P100 offers better handling and ease-of-use than some of its competitors, and would be an even better camera if Nikon could eventually address those few issues. The addition of the side zoom control on the lens barrel is a very welcome one, especially for videographers.
Image quality is more of a mixed bag. It's not bad for a compact camera, but the move to a 12 megapixel sensor, despite it still being a back-illuminated CMOS one, hasn't done the P500 any favours. There is simply too much smearing of fine detail in the full-resolution images, even at the lower ISO speeds, with things starting to fall apart at ISO 400 and getting progressively worse as you go up the range. Just like its smaller brother, the P300, which shares the same sensor, the P500's overall image quality is pleasing, but simply not as good as its rivals.
Despite the image quality, lack of RAW mode and handling issues, the Nikon Coolpix P500 remains a good choice for those who want the convenience of a superzoom but also require the creative control provided by a higher-end camera. It may not produce the best photos at higher ISO speeds or focus quickly enough for fast-moving subjects, but it's a lot more portable and convenient than an SLR with a bag full of lenses and also doubles up as an effective video camera thanks to its excellent video mode.

My life has been turbulent and dramatic to say the least.
The rollercoaster of psychiatric medications
From the grey numbness of Abilify to the hyper focus of dexidrine and everything in-between.
Over the years, I've experienced the full gamut of psychiatric medications. I've taken them for over 26 years. The worse drug for me was Abilify. It slowly took over my life like an insidious cancer. I stopped taking it when I realized I no longer connected with people or the world—I was never happy or sad about general world related events. I still experienced my violent intrusive thoughts and severe depression that was part of my illness. It was interesting how I had the depression but then was so isolated from the world that I failed to experience normal sadness.
One thing that I truly regret was missing my grandma's funeral. I was there but the normal sadness did not show itself—I did not cry, but I did not understand why. I felt guilty about it and questioned whether or not I even loved her. Over the years I have loved her and she was always so proud of me. It was like she was my special angel because of how good she made me feel by supporting me.
She was very sick the last time I visited her. Often she did not recognize people or talk and was having hallucinations. She had always been a strong woman but when I saw her she was so shrunken by her failing health that I was shocked. I leaned down to her so I could hear her and she could hear me. She was amazed that I had driven so far from out of state just to see her and her last words to me were, "I'm so proud of you." She kept telling everybody that I had driven so far just to see her—my mom said it really touched her. I recognized how special this interaction was for the both of us but the Abilify kept me from truly experience my feelings about it.
When I came off the Abilify some of my thoughts and emotions came back but I still had and still have blunted emotions about most of my past experiences. It's like my heart and soul just never acknowledged my feelings—it stole two years of my life. Today, after being off the Abilify for so many years, I do feel the special connection I had with my grandma and I feel blessed by how she always told me how proud she was about me—I think that came back to me because of my experiences with her before the Abilify.
I will never truly get back my life while on Abilify because it took away my life experiences. And, overall, it did not relieve my psychotic symptoms. I still had a dark blanket over me caused by my paranoid delusions and hallucinations. I still had severe and continuous intrusive thoughts about my own violent death. I still contemplated my own death and sat around with my shotgun in my mouth trying to get up enough courage to pull the trigger.
Sometimes I felt angry that my psychiatrist kept me on the Abilify for such a long time because he recognized my disconnect from the world and the violent thoughts I was still having. It's like he was controlling me by turning my world grey. I've gotten over my anger towards my psychiatrist because I know that he truly did have my best interest in mind but he just did not see the whole picture of what I was going through.
When I was in college I took trazadone. It made me sleepy and unmotivated to do anything which was hard because I had an intensive school schedule. One day I was walking to dance class and I decided not to go. I suddenly realized how my body was feeling really weird and I was having so many problems with coordination in dance that I was too embarrassed to go. I had been on the trazone for awhile and it seemed like I was a zombie for a long time but just did not realize it until that day.
I have tried a whole slew of medications besides just the Abilify and trazadone—Zyprexa, Kempra, buspar, Prozac, Seroquel, dexidrine, adderal, restroril, lamictal, Depakote, Cogentin, wellbutrin, symbax, invega, aplenza…and many others that I can't remember.
Currently I am taking two anti-psychotics—seroquel and Haldol. Two mood stabilizers—depakote and lamictal. I also take the mood stabilizers because they are anti-elliptic medications and they control my seizures. The high doses of Seroquel and Haldol may of caused my seizures because I did not have seizures until I was 40 years old and on high doses of them. I am also on restoril for sleep and adderal for ADD.
I started taking Seroquel in 2008. It does help control my psychotic symptoms and helps me sleep—sometimes it helps me sleep too much. I have quit taking it every now and then because I thought I did not need it. I always got sicker when I quit taking it. I have been steady on it for many years now but I'm on a lower dose because of side effects and seizures. The higher dose caused me to be incredibly drowsy and made me stay in bed because I could not get up. It also caused jerky leg movements, problems swallowing and strange tongue movements. Now that I'm on a lower dose the only side effects I get is some hypersomnia and some restless legs.
The Haldol, lamictal and Depakote cause me no side effects that I can tell. They might but I can't feel them because of the Seroquel. The restoril I take helps me relax a little and helps me fall asleep. Funny, the Seroquel makes me too sleepy but it does not help me fall asleep so the restoril helps me in the beginning of the night. The adderal is very effective for my ADD. At first I was on dexidrine but the pharmacies quit carrying it because they were getting robbed so much and the drug companies also quit making as much of it.
My psychiatrist first started me on dexidrine to combat the high dose of Seroquel I was on because I had so little motivation and energy. After being on it for awhile I noticed how much it helped with my ADD so he raised my dose. For a long time I kept going on and off my meds and sometimes abused my dexidrine. Now that I've been stabilized on all my meds I have not abused my adderal that I take in place of the dexidrine.
The lower doses of Seroquel and Haldol do not control all my psychotic symptoms but it's a balance between my sickness and side effects. I have to tolerate some side effects while partially controlling my illness. My mood stabilizers—depakote and lamictal are working pretty good for me.
So, I know everybody reacts differently to medicines but I'd highly advise people to watch out for abilify because it can sneak up on you and steal your life.

Imagine a choir warming up with everyone hitting the same long note–that's what the buzz sounds like inside the hive–no one is out of key, a perfect harmony. This shot focuses on a forager bee loaded up with nectar (the yellow sacs). Bees are not good at landing, so they lightly crash into the front of the hive, crawl backwards for a bit, turn around, then creep into the hive. Harmony

If she could speak, Monica Reinhard would ask the NSW Disability Services Minister John Ajaka why he plans to close her home of 42 years.
Monica Reinhard was a sweet and happy child; though she could never speak she could make a few distinctive sounds. She communicated through facial expressions and using her hands. She also had a great affinity for animals.
"As a child, Monica could walk up to the most vicious dog and put her arms around it," her brother, and legal guardian, Barry Reinhard told The Lamp.
"She loved to help around the house with small chores. She never had behavioral problems and my parents were able to send her to a special school to give her as normal a life as possible. But as she grew older her needs became greater and by the time she was 12, mum and dad couldn't cope. Forty-two years ago she went to Stockton, where guarantees were given to my parents that the state would look after Monica for the rest of her life."
Citing the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the O'Farrell Government plans to close all of the state's residential care facilities and hand over all disability services to private agencies by 2018.
This is despite Productivity Commission concerns that under the NDIS private agencies may be unable to provide the level of service required for people like Monica, who have highly complex needs.
Apart from her inability to speak Monica has been unable to walk for 10 years, following degeneration of muscles and hip joints as well as escalation of a mild staph infection.
In these cases, the Productivity Commission said, government agencies might be the only tenable service providers.
Monica cannot speak but her brother Barry can and on behalf of her, and the many Stockton residents who have no living relatives to act as guardians, he will speak to as many politicians as possible to ask them not to close Stockton.
"It is morally wrong for any government to walk away from the care of the disabled like this. For them to say that people like my sister will be fine with the NDIS is just crap," Barry said. "They have no idea what they're dealing with.
"The NDIS will be great for assisting many disabled people to live in the community. Politicians like to use these people as exhibitions on the TV news to show how great the NDIS will be. But, compared with Monica and others like her, these are normal people with all their faculties or maybe they have a disability like Downs syndrome.
"They are not at all like the people who need residential care in homes like Stockton, where there is a community of 600 plus staff who understand the individual needs of 350 patients because they deal with them day in and day out.
"Private agencies are going to look for cheap labour and put people on shifts in group homes, and likely move them from place to place so they'll be unable to develop any understanding of clients' behaviors and needs.
"This has been tried before when people were moved from institutions to group homes and the reality was a lot either ended up back in institutions, or dead on the side of a road."
Barry Reinhard is not alone in fearing the results of this latest round of "deinsititutionalisation" without recognition of the complex needs that cannot be filled by private agencies.
In voicing his concerns, the chief executive of the Mental Health Council of Australia, Frank Quinlan, said closing institutions in the seventies had "literally put people on the streets" because nothing had been put in their place.
He warned that if important services were reduced to fund the NDIS then people might end up losing one set of services but not being eligible for the new set.
"The NDIS ought not be an oasis in a desert – great if you make it there, but devastating if you don't."
People with disabilities deserve better.

Protests in Colorado Springs usually stay pretty tame, especially compared to those in bigger cities. But one local organization seems to always rub police the wrong way, whether they intend to or not.
The Colorado Springs Socialists — a mix of Socialist Party members, a reading group from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and other assorted left-wingers — memorably protested the now-disgraced shock jock, Milo Yiannopoulos, in black block getup. Their more recent "March Against Imperialism" on Sunday, March 26, was moderately attended, with about 15 to 20 people, but quite eventful, with six arrests. Their offense? Marching in city streets without a permit.
Citation wasn't the aim of these young protesters. They began at City Hall, where about seven cops stood waiting, then walked a downtown route through the streets broadcasting a pacifist and populist message. Via megaphone, police voiced unheeded orders to stay on sidewalks. Back at City Hall, protesters and police argued about their rights. Then the handcuffs came out.
Organizers say streets are a more strategic venue than sidewalks for disseminating their message because (as evidenced by the arrests and subsequent news coverage) of the added attention.
So, in the end, "it worked," according to Socialist Jeremy Craig, 35, "but it probably won't happen again the same way because we don't have unlimited funds to pay fines and we don't want to discourage people from joining us."
These actions don't always get snuffed: The historically well-attended March on Colorado Springs following the inauguration of President Donald Trump (our version of the Women's March on Washington) filled downtown streets, sans a permit. Those marchers, unlike these, actually held up traffic.
Another takeaway for the socialists is that their activities may be monitored. Two counter-protesters — one neo-Nazi, marked as such by his parting "sieg heil," and one self-identified anarcho-capitalist spewing white separatism — showed up to agitate, and the outsized police presence also suggests a degree of premeditation.
With all public demonstrations, police spokesperson Lt. Howard Black says officers' goal is to stay as invisible as possible. "There's a lot going on behind the scenes, sometimes riot control teams outside everyone's view, just in case," he told the Independent after the socialists' march. As for how police know when and where they ought to keep an eye on protests, Black says "[he doesn't] want to get into how we become aware. But I'll just say we're aware."
Other activists in town are befuddled by the socialists' fate. Olivia Romero, an organizer of the March on Colorado Springs, was called by police prior to that event. "They asked if we had a permit, the answer was 'no,' then they asked about our route and just told us to stay in touch. That was it," she recalls.
Day of, attendance far exceeded expectations with thousands of marchers flooding downtown streets. Cops on-site helped shut down southbound Tejon Street and northbound Nevada Avenue for safety purposes, there were no arrests.
"So when I saw six people got cited for just walking in the street, not doing anything destructive, it just didn't really make sense," Romero says. "I wonder if it would've been different if they looked 'normal' — you know, not in all black."
Her concerns are shared by Ryan Barry, head of the progressive group Unite for Colorado Springs, who strives to avoid confrontation. "It just shows how easy it is to get CSPD to overreact," he says. "I mean, was all that really necessary?"

Can WP Tool Kit REALLY Give You Unlimited Access To Premium WordPress Themes & Plugins At A Deep Discount?
How many hours have you wasted searching for plugins and themes one at a time? Often, the plugins turn out to be disappointing. Wouldn't it be nice to have a single bundle that contained a huge number of premium themes and plugins that you could use to quickly build sites for yourself or for clients? That's exactly what the WP Tool Kit is.
Thousands Of Dollars Of Value
More accurately, this toolkit contains around $25,000 worth of premium themes and plugins that run on WordPress. The average premium plugin can cost around $99 or more. This package has bundled together more than 380 that you can use as you see fit.
Furthermore, these aren't your average "free plugins" that could become outdated or put your site at risk. These are high-quality, actively supported plugins and themes. They receive regular updates and won't pose any sort of security risk for your WordPress site. Simply put, these are the best-of-the-best in terms of premium themes and plugins.
The value is enormous. Purchasing each of these by itself would cost more than $25,000. However, the developers of the WP Tool Kit cut deals with developers and were able to bring all of these products together into one package that they could sell for one low price.
General Public Licensed With Developer Rights
Many premium plugins come with a license for a single use on your site. That means, you can use the plugin once and that is it. What if you are a freelance web developer who specializes in WordPress sites? You would need to purchase those plugins or themes for every client who wanted to use them. That would easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your career.
These plugins; however, come with a General Public License(GPL) with developer rights. You can install these plugins on as many client sites as you want without paying an extra dime. Of course, you could still charge the client the same price. That extra money you saved simply goes back into your bank account. These 380 plugins and themes could help your business earn a substantial amount more than it currently is.
The licensing is very flexible. You could even make alterations to the products and then sell them again for a profit. Or perhaps you could use them as an incentive for affiliate offers. You are free to do with them as you please without paying any more than the original purchase. The only potential charges you could face in the future are updates, which brings up the third point.
Free Updates For A Year
Plugins and themes need to be updated regularly to keep up with the WordPress system and to stay ahead of hackers. Most premium products require an additional fee for every update. When you purchase the WP Tool Kit you will get 12 months of free updates without paying anything extra. That alone will save you thousands of dollars combined.
Wrap Up
If you plan on working with WordPress sites in the future, then the WP Tool Kit is a must-have. Whether you are a freelance developer or simply like building your own sites. It's affordable, supported, and comes packed with premium content that would normally cost as much as a new car.
How I Can Help You (My 100% Exclusive Bonuses)
I'll earn a commission if you purchase through my link, and here's a summary of the specific bonuses I'm offering for WP Tool Kit (these are 100% exclusive, created by me)…
Here's a 'Preview' Video Where I Give a Very Brief Overview of The WP Tool Kit:

Sunday 8 December
Verbrugghen Hall, Sydney Conservatorium of Music
The Sydney Youth Orchestra
Alexander Briger AO, Conductor
ELGAR Enigma Variations
PROKOFIEV Excerpts from Romeo and Juliet – Music gifted to SYO on behalf of Elizabeth Greenhalgh
SYO Philharmonic
Brian Buggy OAM, Conductor
BRAHMS Academic Festival Overture
The 2019 season finale from the Sydney Youth Orchestra features so many favourites from excerpts from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, bringing together young love, a testimony to friendship, and heart-stopping action in a program directed by SYO Chief Conductor Alexander Briger.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been channelled into countless musical adaptations from operas (Gounod) to symphonies (Berlioz) to musicals (Bernstein's West Side Story), but the tragedy of young love framed against the violence of warring families bearing 'ancient grudge' in the streets of fair Verona has never had a more visceral musical setting than Prokofiev's classic ballet score of 1938.
A huge orchestra draws upon a vast sonic palette to describe the grandeur and pomposity of nobility, the heart-stopping cut-and-thrust of the street swordfights, and a Balcony Scene of pure sound that transcends the Bard's immortal words. Prokofiev's moving response to the story has been danced by many balletic stage legends, but SYO demonstrates that even without the presence of a Fonteyn or Nureyev the music loses none of its impact, especially in the hands of orchestral players identical in age to Romeo and Juliet themselves.
Earlier in the program, SYO mystery posed by Edward Elgar in his famous set of Variations on an Original Theme from 1899, known ever since as the 'Enigma' Variations. Coded allusions to friends are arrayed like frames on a Facebook page around the 'enigma' theme, its provenance still debated by musicologists. The so-called 'Nimrod' variation from the set has been used in countless films and documentaries, all drawing upon its sense of end-of-Empire melancholy.
Once again, the SYO's younger companion the SYO Philharmonic will open the concert with conductor Brian Buggy in music that celebrates the end of the school and university year: the Academic Festival Overture of Brahms.
Additional Information:
Join us at 1:00pm to discover the history and story behind the music prior to the concert with a free pre-concert talk. The SYO Pre Concert talks are presented in partnership with Limelight Magazine, Australia's leading Classical Music and Arts Magazine.
Young children are welcome at Sydney Youth Orchestra concerts. For all performances, children two years of age or older must have a ticket (even if the accompanying adult intends to sit the child on his/her knees).
This concert is General Admission.
Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the start of the event.
Please bring your ticket to display at the door and gain entry to the venue.
