I HATE QUILTED JACKETS! These items of clothing seem to have become the fashion in recent years. The great unwashed have been sold a slice of country life; Barbour styled quilted jackets,
something for the youth to wear as they walk through their Council Estate on the way to the drive by shooting party! In sweet suburbia the aspirational working classes dress like lords and ladies of the manor as they tend to the gardens of their ex-council house castles, like fat people wearing tracksuits.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has high Hopes on TrumpFebruary 06, 2017 11:24
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar tells No country can be great if even a small minority in the country feels neglected.
In an interview Sri Sri were asked about the constant tirade against United States President Donald Trump in the media worldwide.
He said as a doctor and a guru, he only gives personal advices, whatever advices he may give will always be very personal advice.
According to Sri Sri any head of state cannot be bullied by the press, nor can he ignore the voice of the media. The Public often criticizes a revolutionary idea, he said. But at the same time one needs to respect the sentiments of the public as well.
It is a tough job for a head of the state, that to someone who is new to the system Sri Sri Said.
He said any head of the state cannot always have people who only yes around him, he must have honest advisors and he must also keep disruptive people in his team because they can see the point from a different perspective.
Donald Trump should include the dissenters among his advisors to account counterparts as well.
On India-US Relationship Sri Sri said India and USA can naturally be good partners as one is the largest democracy and one is the oldest and the relation between two countries needs to be strengthened by easing many regulations.
Sri Sri did not comment on the Trump's immigration ban on seven countries since a federal judge has already ruled on that. But he said there is a quota system to grant visas for all the countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and so on but all the quotas are same. He said the quota system needs some rethinking and should be decided on merit and the population.
On Approach to the arms business Sri Sri said he is always for disarmament for each and every country in the world, he suggested that countries should spend at least a fraction about 1 to 2 percent of defense spending on peace education. Today, the United States needs peace education very badly.
American universities move to allay International Students
He said depression is taking over the United States. While economic interests need to be considered along with the happiness index of the country.
Sri Sri's organization "The Art of Living" has a project called 'Welcome Home Troops, he said. The project has trained and rehabilitated over 1,500 troops returned home from the Iraq war via Association for Human Values.
The organization also made a movie 'Almost Sunrise', which is a story about a war veteran soldier post war and how he transformed after 'Art of Living Programs.
Sri Sri was sure about that President Trump will take positive steps to deal with country's infrastructure which took a big beating in the recent past.
On concerns about Donald Trump's policies Sri Sri recommended Trump to pay heed to the words of Gorakhnath: "Speak not in haste (without understanding), walk not in haste (without knowing the path). Take slow cautious steps (in the path of yoga). Let not pride overtake you. Lead a simple life (free of passions), says Goraknath."
Sri Sri said Fears are unfounded because any head of the state will always think and care for the whole population, sometimes the idea may not percolate into the ground
Tranquility of mind is absolutely essential for making decisions that would bring long-term happiness to people. Sri Sri said that he would ask Trump to take a few moments before taking decisions; please set apart an introspective moment of silence.

Back2myroots : A place to share thoughts and grow idea's. B2MR
Your having a great start to your day! Then two stylists come in ask for a word!
They give you their notice they are setting up a business across town!
You own a busy and successful salon you employ a number of good talented creative staff. You provide trainees and assistants to work and support you team. You feel that you are fair to your staff and business is good, everything is going along smoothly. Clients are loyal so retention is good.
The salon seems to have a reputation for both service and standards of work.
Then one morning everything changes! Your two busiest stylists come in and tell you that they are leaving to open a salon on their own. They offer you two weeks notice tell you it's nothing personal but they both feel they need a new challenge and that they feel that they have done and experienced about as much as possible in this present arrangement!
Off the bat you are shocked. You are devastated quite rightly. But how do you now cope with this?
Anger fear resentment panic! Followed by how will the salon cope what about their clients! Thoughts like why did they not come to me. I don't deserve this why me!
Has this ever happened to you? If not chances are it will. If it has then I'm touching a cord I'm sure.
The fact is it's natural progression it will happen have I done it to owner /business partners yes! Has it happened to me? Yes it has! I write to share experience and open discussion.
At the time of me leaving a business I was involved in I feel I was fully justified in getting out. I was a minority and the two guys I was in business were taking advantage of my work ethic and looking after their best interest .So I did the same. Looked after No 1.
Having been let down myself was harder and I did not see it coming. On reflection I should have I allowed business and pleasure or employment and social life to mix too much. The out come was being let down and left in a very difficult situation.
On reflection and from experience these situations are like any break up stressful and best way to deal with it is to attribute blame. What we really need to do is look at the big picture. The build up of said events. The circumstances running up to this situation we find our selves in.
When we do this and only when we do this. Can we really understand what has transpired culminating in this business disaster, how we handle is really the key to moving on and having closure.
After the initial shock how would you handle it? What would you do? Damage control? Ask said stylist to leave immediately employment terminated? Get the receptionist on the phone to all there clients. Call emergency staff meeting to rally the troops a lecture on loyalty to follow!
Sound familiar? I advise take the high ground. Take your time to think it through. Some times inaction is much better than rash decisions and choices made in the heat of the moment. The leaving stylist will expect you to ask them to leave. They will already have full client contact information. In most case the key clients are all ready aware of this .In some case they might be caking it and or supporting it. I'm not saying suck it up I am suggesting it's how you deal with it and how you move forward that will define both you and your business.
Believe it or not this could be a huge opportunity to learn and grow and develop a whole new way forward for you your team and future employment.
So take a deep breath stay focused think the process through with an honest open mind. Reflect on your role and contribution to this for we all paly a part we all contribute to the circumstances leading up to this. Are you big enough?
I could write my thoughts on a resolution or out come but that's; different for us all. I would love to hear some feed back on this.
Points to think about and understand.
Stylists making these choices, it's not personal.
In building and developing a team create opportunity and incentives.
Do not play the blame game be professional when dealing with these situations.
Keep lines of communication open.
Learn and grow from the experience.
Focus on vision and goal for moving forward.
Do not create ill feeling about those stylists starting new venture. Wish them well
Keep all doors open.
[you may well gain more respect from clients who may come back] you will always be respected for being and staying professional.

Paula Deen plans new restaurant
Celebrity chef Paula Deen Wednesday announced a planned new flagship restaurant as she tries to re-establish herself following revelations last year of having used racially volatile language.
"I'm fighting to get my name back," Deen, 67, told People, adding, "I used to have dreams that I lost everything. And when it finally happens, you think, 'I'm still alive.' "
The former Food Network star compared herself to Michael Sam, the first openly gay NFL prospect, saying, "I feel 'embattled' or 'disgraced' will always follow my name. It's like that black football player who recently came out. He said, 'I just want to be known as a football player. I don't want to be known as a gay football player.' I know exactly what he's saying."
Deen, whose newly formed Paula Deen Ventures received a $75 million infusion from the investment firm Najafi Companies earlier this month, said her new restaurant will open in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., near the Dollywood theme park.

As the power savings campaigns end, the bill paid by business, and ultimately us all, has come in for Liarbour's energy failure- a whopping $3 billion.
The extra costs come in lost production and higher spot charges.
As one businessman notes, the market works, but surely not by closing industry down!
The NZ Herald notes power shortages have happened for decades but they do seem to be occurring with growing regularity.
A failure of the government, who owns much of the energy sector anyway, to allow sufficient extra generation.
As this blog has noted before, Liarbour has rorted the energy user in higher charges and low investment.
The planning system, a ten year moratorium on coal powered stations won't help either, though extra capacity is said to be on its way, but not in time for next year.
But it's not all bad. With that extra revenue going to the state owned energy enterprises, the Treasury will get a handy windfall, so maybe Working for Other People's Families AND large taxcuts will be affordable after all!

CAPITANO K! Sorry, I'm late by a day,
But still, it's
never too late for a belated wish … coming your way!
Thanks for the time, advice, and effort you've put in this place,
Your intelligence and know how sticks out … sing all!! ... AMAAAAAAAZING GRACE,
Enough with the thank yous, now that it's done,
Your BIRTHDAY WISH … lets have some fun!
May you be blessed with a hundred more,
20??? + 100 = 120???? + your own -mone store,
May the night of your day, ravish you with lots of alcohol,
And you awoke this morning on the floor, head under a
pillow, and one leg propped up on the wall,
Confused and suddenly touched by a scent of something that's not too good,
But knowing, last night, you wore mones and got to use your wood,
My the lucky lady laying next to you appreciate
her new stud,
But still the smell is bothering you …
similar to that animal that lays and play in mud,
A quick glance at your victim, and that leg flies off the wall,
You nailed a 600 pounder, and that's not all,
A thong, larger than the kitchen table, a smile with no teeth,
She says, "I've never had a stud to do all those kinky things
to me."
"You said I was so beautiful,
and while riding me, you slapped my ass cheeks,
I love
when you screamed, "Who's yer daddy!?"" to me!
Your work, your effort, your advice, your taste in women … I dig!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPITANO! Good luck with your PIG!
Never argue with ignorant people! They pull you down to THEIR level, and then they BEAT YOU with experience. Who said that!? I don't know, but tis gold I tell'ya!!
Wow thanks guys (and girl)
Had a great day, even though the evening had to be cut short due to somebody abusing absinthe and losing the use
of their common sense and legs. So no pig yet mobes, but there is still time tonight...
I'll have more time to spend here in coming weeks, I've been really busy for a couple of months.
Thanks again
And bjf, you do scare me a little

Although usually an orderly process, some permanent teeth don't come in as they should. In fact, they may not come in at all and remain hidden in the gum — a situation called impaction. This creates multiple problems for function, health and, in the case of front canines, appearance.
Canines are the longer and more pointed teeth on each side of the front-most incisors. They help tear and cut food during chewing, a function impaction eliminates. Besides a higher risk for developing abscesses (isolated areas of infection) and cysts, they can also put pressure on neighboring teeth and damage their roots or cause them to erupt abnormally.
Dentists often remove impacted wisdom and other back teeth to lessen these potential problems. Removing canines, though, has additional considerations: besides compromising ideal chewing function, missing canines often create an unattractive smile.
But before considering removal, there's another technique we might be able to use to save the canines and actually draw them down through the gums to their correct position. It's usually part of an overall orthodontic plan to correct a poor bite (malocclusion).
After pinpointing their exact position with x-rays or CT scanning, a surgeon surgically exposes the impacted canines' crowns through the gums. They then bond small brackets to the crowns and attach a small gold chain to each bracket. They fasten the other end of the chains to orthodontic hardware that exerts downward pressure on the impacted teeth. Over several months this pressure can help move the teeth into their normal positions.
Unfortunately, this technique isn't always advisable: one or more of the impacted teeth may be in a difficult position to attempt it. It's usually best in these situations to remove the teeth, usually sooner rather than later for the sake of neighboring teeth.
Fortunately, with today's advanced restorative techniques, we can eventually replace the canines with dental implants, although that's best undertaken after the patient enters adulthood. In the meantime, we can utilize orthodontic means to preserve the open space and provide a temporary restorative solution.
Whatever route taken, these teeth don't have to become a source of problems, especially for your appearance. Whether through orthodontics or restorative dentistry, impacted canines don't have to ruin your smile.
If you would like more information on various orthodontic procedures, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Exposing Impacted Canines."
Most children's permanent teeth erupt on a fairly predictable schedule. Sometimes, though, one or more teeth might not develop as they should — or at all.
These absent teeth pose functional problems for chewing and hygiene, which can affect long-term dental health. But they can also have a disruptive effect on an otherwise attractive smile if the missing teeth are the upper lateral incisors in the most visible part of the smile.
You normally find this pair of teeth on either side of the upper central incisors (the two front-most teeth). On the other side of the lateral incisors are the canine or eye teeth, known for their pointed appearance. Without the lateral incisors, the canines tend to drift into the space next to the central incisors. This can produce an odd appearance even a layperson will notice: only four teeth where there should be six!
It's possible to correct this abnormality, but it will take time and expense. The first step is usually to move the teeth in the upper jaw with braces to their correct position. This puts teeth where they should be and also opens space between the canines and central incisors so we can eventually replace the missing teeth with dental implants.
But the key to all this is timing. It's usually appropriate to undertake tooth movement with braces during late childhood or adolescence. But implants shouldn't be installed until the person's jaw fully matures, usually in early adulthood. An implant placed before then could eventually become misaligned.
To accommodate the time between bite correction and implant placement, the patient can wear a retainer appliance that will keep the newly created space open. We can also attach artificial teeth to the retainer to camouflage the empty space.
It usually takes a team of a family dentist, an orthodontist and a surgeon to see this kind of "smile makeover" project through, possibly over several years. But the gains in better aesthetics and health are well worth the time and expense.
If you would like more information on replacing non-developing teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "When Permanent Teeth Don't Grow."
Your teenager is about to take a big step toward better health and a more attractive appearance — orthodontic treatment. You both know the benefits: better chewing function, lower risk of dental disease, and, of course, a straighter and more beautiful smile.
But your teen might also dread the next couple of years of wearing braces. And it's hard to blame them: although they're effective, wearing braces restricts eating certain snacks and foods, they require extra time and effort for brushing and flossing, and they're often uncomfortable to wear. And of high importance to a teenager, they may feel embarrassed to wear them.
But over the last couple of decades a braces alternative has emerged: clear aligners. This form of bite correction requires fewer food restrictions, allows greater ease in hygiene, and is considered more attractive than braces. In fact, most observers won't notice them when a wearer smiles.
Clear aligners are a series of clear plastic trays created by computer that are worn in a certain sequence. During wear each tray exerts pressure on the teeth to gradually move them in the desired direction. The patient wears a single tray for two weeks and then changes to the next tray in the sequence, which will be slightly different than the previous tray. At the end of the process, the teeth will have been moved to their new positions.
Clear aligners aren't appropriate for all bite problems. When they are, though, they offer a couple of advantages over braces. Unlike braces, a wearer can remove the aligner to brush and floss their teeth or for rare, special or important social occasions. And, of course, their appearance makes them less likely to cause embarrassment while wearing them.
In recent years, design improvements have increased the kinds of bites aligners can be used to correct. For example, they now often include "power ridges," tiny features that precisely control the amount and direction of pressure applied to the teeth. They've also become thinner and more comfortable to wear.
If you're interested in clear aligners as a treatment option, talk with your orthodontist about whether your teen is a good candidate. If so, they could make orthodontic treatment for achieving a more attractive and healthy smile less of an ordeal.
If you would like more information on clear aligners as an orthodontic option, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Clear Aligners for Teens."
A few days before the Oscars, Vanity Fair magazine asked Academy Awards host Neil Patrick Harris to name his most treasured possession. Was it his Tony award statuette for best leading actor in a musical? His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? The stethoscope he wore while playing teenaged doctor Doogie Howser on TV? No, as it turns out, the 41-year-old actor's most treasured possession is… his wisdom teeth. Yes, you read that correctly. "Oddly, I still have my four wisdom teeth," Harris said. "I refuse to let them go or I'll lose my wise parts."
How odd is it for a 41-year-old to have wisdom teeth? Actually, not that odd at all. While it is true that wisdom teeth are often removed, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to this. It all depends on whether they are causing problems now, or are likely to cause problems in the future.
The trouble wisdom teeth cause is related to the fact that they are the last molars to come in, and that molars are large in size. By the time wisdom teeth appear between the ages of 17 and 21, there often is not enough room for them in the jaw. Sometimes it's because you may have inherited a jaw size that's too small for your tooth size; and generally speaking, the size of the human jaw has evolved to become smaller over time.
If room is lacking, the adjacent molar (that came in earlier) can interfere with the path of eruption — causing the wisdom tooth to come in at an odd angle. The wisdom tooth can hit up against that other tooth, possibly causing pain or damaging the adjacent tooth. This is known as "impaction." Sometimes the wisdom tooth breaks only partway through the gum tissue, leaving a space beneath the gum line that's almost impossible to clean, causing infection. A serious oral infection can jeopardize the survival of teeth, and even spread to other parts of the body.
If a wisdom tooth is impacted, will you know it? Not necessarily. A tooth can be impacted without causing pain. But we can see the position of your wisdom teeth on a dental x-ray and help you make an informed decision as to whether they should stay or go. If removal is the best course of action, rest assured that this procedure is completely routine and that your comfort and safety is our highest priority. If there is no great risk to keeping them, as Neil Patrick Harris has done, we can simply continue to monitor their condition at your regular dental checkups. It will be particularly important to make sure you are reaching those teeth with your brush and floss, and that you keep to your schedule of regular professional cleanings at the dental office. All healthy teeth are indeed worth treasuring.
If you would like more information about wisdom teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Wisdom Teeth" and "Removing Wisdom Teeth."
When it's time for your child to visit the dentist (we recommend around their first birthday), you may want them to see your family dentist. But you might also want to consider another option: a pediatric dentist.
The difference between the two is much the same as between a pediatrician and a family practitioner. Both can treat juvenile patients — but a family provider sees patients of all ages while a pediatrician or pediatric dentist specializes in patients who haven't reached adulthood.
Recognized as a specialty by the American Dental Association, pediatric dentists undergo about three more years of additional post-dental school training and must be licensed in the state where they practice. They're uniquely focused on dental care during the childhood stages of jaw and facial structure development.
Pediatric dentists also gear their practices toward children in an effort to reduce anxiety. The reception area and treatment rooms are usually decorated in bright, primary colors, with toys and child-sized furniture to make their young patients feel more at ease. Dentists and staff also have training and experience interacting with children and their parents to help them relax during exams and procedures.
While a pediatric practice is a good choice for any child, it can be especially beneficial for children with special needs. The "child-friendly" environment is especially soothing for children with autism, ADHD or other behavioral/developmental disorders. And pediatric dentists are especially adept in treating children at higher risk for tooth decay, especially an aggressive form called early childhood caries (ECC).
Your family dentist, of course, can presumably provide the same quality care and have an equally welcome environment for children. And unlike a pediatric dentist who will typically stop seeing patients when they reach adulthood, care from your family dentist can continue as your child gets older.
In the end it's a personal choice, depending on the needs of your family. Just be sure your child does see a dental provider regularly during their developing years: doing so will help ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
If you would like more information on visiting a pediatric dentist for your child's dental needs, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Why See a Pediatric Dentist?"

NASCAR News - Week of August 22nd
Coca-Cola Racing had two big reasons to celebrate this weekend at Michigan. They first reason is that they captured their ninth title of the season with Greg Biffle's victory. The second reason is that Biffle's victory propelled him into the NASCAR Sprint Cup points lead. Biffle had held the points lead for several weeks earlier in the year, and now he will try to hold onto it until the start of The Chase next month.
The race at Michigan was shaping up to be a real exciting finish. Jimmie Johnson, who was the points leader going into the race, had worked his way up from the back of the pack to capture the lead in lap 191 of 200. Biffle was close on his tail and was slowly closing the distance when Johnson's engine gave out with just six laps to go. It was a bad break for Johnson, who ended up finishing in 27th after an engine change. The poor finish also dropped him down to 4th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings.
Brad Keselowski finished in 2nd at Michigan, followed by Kasey Kahne in 3rd, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in 4th and Marcos Ambrose in 5th.
The race started with pole sitter Greg Martin easily holding onto the lead through 65 laps until he suffered a very scary moment. Bobby Labonte's car went into a spin ahead of Martin, and Martin's car went into a slide as he tried to avoid a collision. Martin's car slid into the wall and crashed hard enough to almost force the wall into the driver's seat. Luckily, Martin was able to walk away from the smoky ruins of his car unhurt, but he was out of the race after his stellar start.
One note of controversy from Michigan was the displeasure that Jeff Gordon expressed with his teammate Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Gordon yelled at Earnhardt over the radio about his "hard racing." Apparently Gordon was upset with the way that Earnhardt was handling restarts, forcing Gordon to go wide and then sliding in in front of him. It will be interesting to see if these two superstars have any more problems with each other as the season heads to the finish and the stakes get higher.
Elsewhere, the NASCAR Nationwide Series was at Montreal. Justin Allgaier nipped Jacques Villeneuve at the finish line, erasing a 20-car length lead over the last lap. It was an exciting finish, but perhaps the most interesting story of the day was what happened to Danica Patrick.
Patrick was leading the race and her car was looking great when some crazy spectator threw a shoe out on the track. Patrick ran over the shoe and somehow it caused her car to immediately lose handling when a bracket shot out. It ruined her chances of winning and she ultimately finished in 26th.
Next weekend the NASCAR Sprint Cup goes under the lights for a night race at Bristol. Night races are always good for an added element of excitement, and with the Chase just a month away it should be a great night of racing. The race will be 500 laps and 267 miles. Look for Kyle Busch to have the best chances of winning. Busch has won 4 of the last 5 races at Bristol. Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. also traditionally run well at Bristol, so they should be in the hunt as well.

Celebrities At War
The Syria crisis mobilized the celebrity brigades, but it's really just entertainment
Uncategorized September 12, 2013 Matthew Gault 0
Celebrities At War
The Syria crisis mobilized the celebrity brigades, but it's really just entertainment
This happens every time. Whenever the United States finds itself even contemplating the idea of war, we all take to our blogs, smartphones and Twitter accounts. Everyone has a plan or an opinion. Some are sane. Some are foolish. Most are ill-informed. But we all feel something and want to be heard. When it comes to international politics, all of us have an armchair critic lurking in our heart.
And so we have Syria. Madonna urged the U.S. to stay out of Syria on her Facebook page — for humanity's sake — and Cher took to her Twitter account to predict that military action in Syria would be Pres. Barack Obama's downfall. An international coalition of celebrities — including Natalie Portman and Patrick Stewart — collaborated on a video begging the U.N. Security Council to end the bloodshed in Syria. Nevermind that Russia, a permanent and powerful member has no interest in ending the war. Russell Brand went on the conspiracist Alex Jones show to darkly hint at a "veil of disingenuity and duplicity." Kenneth Cole took the opportunity to sell shoes.
This isn't the first time celebrities have spoken out about world politics, international disputes and terrible wars from the misguided armchairs of their million-dollar mansions. Far from it.
There are dozens of examples. Danny Glover is a fan of Hugo Chavez. Angelina Jolie was concerned enough about Libya to be appointed as a special envoy for refugee issues at the U.N. Last year, George Clooney protested against the actions of the Sudanese government outside of its embassy in Washington and was arrested. And it seems that Dennis Rodman has become an idiotic shill for North Korea.
Even if the possibility of Syrian dictator Bashar Al Assad turning over his chemical weapons has delayed direct U.S. involvement, this isn't going to stop. And we don't want it to.
Jane Fonda
Jane Fonda is the archetype for this kind of foolish celebrity behavior. In July of 1972, Fonda took a tour of North Vietnam. During her visit, Fonda — who was and is an American icon — assisted the government of North Vietnam in several powerful pieces of propaganda that continue to shadow the actress decades later.
While Jane toured the country, she recorded 10 different broadcasts for Radio Hanoi — the North Vietnamese Army propaganda station — in which she declared the U.S. government war criminals, met with a group of seven American prisoners of war, and posed with a group of North Vietnamese soldiers while she sat in an anti-aircraft gun.
Despite widespread anti-war sentiment at home, Fonda's actions weren't taken well by the public. Public opinion ranged from wishing her tried for treason to simply writing her off as a fool.
Her career never quite recovered. She has — every time one of her movies comes to theaters you'll notice — apologized over and over again for the incident. But some members of the public have not forgiven her. During a book tour for her 2005 autobiography My Life So Far, Fonda was spit upon by a veteran who waited in line 90 minutes for the opportunity.
Sean Penn
Sean Penn. Where do you even start with Sean Penn? Penn, like so many others, became a politically active monster during the George W. Bush years. It began with Sean Penn making a trip to Baghdad in the run up to the war. He toured a children's hospital, gave a speech, and took out a full-page ad in The Washington Post urging Bush to avoid going to war with Iraq.
Penn followed this up with another full-page letter in The New York Times after the war began, calling for an end to conflict and Bush's impeachment. Penn returned to Iraq in 2004 — despite the protests of his family — to see for himself what the invasion looked like and to report back to the American people.
Penn's actions spawned a lot of hate, debate and support. One of those supporters — deceased Venezuelan Pres. Hugo Chavez — liked Penn's letters so much that he read them aloud to his country and stood in firm support of Penn and his desire to see Bush impeached. Chavez and Penn became fast friends, Penn defending Chavez to the point of calling for criminal charges to be levied against reporters who called Chavez a dictator.
Penn has been silent about Syria. At least so far. His silence seems strange when viewed in light of his recent activism. Maybe it's because, in early 2012, he stood next to Chavez while the Venezuelan potentate delivered a speech defending his country's right to sell oil to a country under U.N. sanctions for crushing popular protests with the military. The country was Syria.
We love it
Celebrities are people. They're just like us: they breath, eat, love and construct opinions based on a visceral mix of reactionary emotion and regurgitated, half-digested news broadcasts they sort of listened to while passing the television.
Money and fame separate us. That's it. If any one us were gifted with the astounding level of attention and wealth available to George Clooney or Sean Penn, who's to say we wouldn't try, in a desperate fugue, to do some misguided good?
Besides. Admit it. We love this shit. Every time Alec Baldwin opens his mouth and rants against big business and Republicans, he makes the news and we all watch it. That's why MSNBC is giving him a talk show. Whenever Ben Affleck gets all fired up about the conflict-torn eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo, we roll our eyes and tell our friends that he should stick to what he knows. Stick to entertaining us.
But that's exactly what he's doing. Watching celebrities mouth off about war-torn countries and political situations they only barely understand is a pure and fabulous form of American entertainment. It's right up there with football and tut-tutting when teen idols self destruct.

By Patricia Brown, RN
It's summer in Missouri, the peak time for canoeing on clear Ozark rivers.
Starting Memorial Day, I spent a week camping on the Jack's Fork River. Instead of the beautiful peace and quiet I was looking for, I saw inappropriate overuse of the river.
Because my father was born in Larkin "Holler" of Shannon County (I also have other relatives there) I have visited this area almost every year for the last 50 years. About 30 years ago I stopped canoeing there during the summer because the noisy crowds made it like a Worlds of Fun ride.
More recently, I've witnessed continued deterioration, with even more noise, and scenic disruption, from development of buildings, motorboats that zip by within yards of me snorkeling so that I almost inhale part of their waves, and bulldozers taking scoops of rock gravel beach.
My father had a chance to "get rich" gravel mining, but he valued the rejuvenation powers of those rivers and instead taught me to love them as they were -- which now stirs me to action. When I see things like this, or that red Allley Springs Mill in so many magazine photos, I get a sinking feeling that the memory of something precious to me has been made obscene.
The National Park Service is in the middle of drafting a General Management Plan that will guide management of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) -- the Current and Jack's Fork Rivers -- for the next 20 years. Missourians should know that now is their chance to speak up about the problems confronting this gem of a river system, home to more first-magnitude size springs in one area than anywhere else on Earth.
The updated management plan should address: (1) overdevelopment that has produced a proliferation of illegal access roads used by noisy ATVs and trucks (2) overuse by horses repeatedly crossing the rivers causing E.Coli contamination that harms swimmers and (3) stopping gravel mining. All of these things cause erosion of soil, which smothers the insects that live on the rocks and that the fish eat, destroying river life
As a little girl I sat in one spot on a rock beach, taking in the serene beauty, and gathered many empty snail shells to sew a necklace. In those days all the rocks in the rivers were speckled with black snails. Because of the unlimited numbers of people who visit these rivers now, many little creatures have been trampled to death. This cherished experience won't happen for any little girl now, not in this park.
Some would argue that my opinion should not matter, because I do not live near the rivers. Since my family is from there, I understand why local people would feel protective of the place. Shannon County has many low income residents and they need to maintain all the tourist related business far into the future. They also care about preserving the cultural practices of Ozark river life and its natural beauty. We must all do all we can to assist them.
My 91-year-old cousin from the town of Eminence, which is centrally located in that Ozark Rivers region, once said that she traveled away from them once and was shocked to find that other rivers weren't so crystal clear.

In addition, as a Kansas City area resident, like others who travel to the ONSR, I recognize it as a National Park, and know that all citizens have the standing, and indeed the responsibility to make sure it is well managed.
Now is the time to speak up. The plan being formulated now will guide management of ONSR for the next 20 years. Let's use this opportunity to fix the problems and restore the rivers to the tranquil and restorative place that I remember from my childhood. We can do it.

In recognition of Fair Dealing Week, educational institutions across Canada celebrate the Fair Dealing provisions of the Canadian Copyright Act. These provisions balance the rights of creators and users of copyright-protected content. As a user-focused exception, fair dealing facilitates the sharing of short excerpts of copyrighted works for the purposes of research, private study, education, parody or satire, criticism or review, and news reporting.
Since the Copyright Modernization Act of 2012, or Bill C-11, expanded the application of Fair Dealing to new contexts of parody, satire, and education, Fair Dealing has become an important option for students, faculty, and researchers sharing copyright-protected content. In the context of teaching, Fair Dealing broadens the range of course readings available to students. For instance, it enables faculty to provide students with readings for interdisciplinary courses and emerging fields of study where textbooks are unavailable. Fair Dealing also facilitates the analysis of short excerpts from course readings and media clips in the classroom. In the context of research, Fair Dealing enables faculty and graduate students to share the latest research, including data sets, with their colleagues.
Overall, Fair Dealing promotes the development of culture and education by facilitating the dissemination of intellectual and creative works.
Under Fair Dealing, you can provide short excerpts of copyrighted content to students and faculty via handout, e-mail communication, D2L, lecture presentation, and classroom display. Specific examples of short excerpts include:
- a copy of an article from a scientific, technical, or scholarly periodical;
- a newspaper article;
- an entry from an encyclopaedia, annotated bibliography, or similar reference material;
- a short story, play, poem, or essay from a publication containing other works.

Since he made his debut at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, sprinter Usain Bolt has spent a little less than a total of five and a half minutes on the track in his appearances at the Games, but every second has been worth its weight in gold getting this amazing athlete nine medals for first rank every time.
Three races – the 100m, the 200m, and the 4 x 100 relay, three Olympics, and he's bagged all three golds all three times becoming the first runner in history to get the 'triple-triple' that every sprinter dreams of.
Though he knelt down at the end of the last event, the 4 x 100 relay , and after kissing the ground, slapped the painted 3 on the finish line, Usain Bolt is undoubtedly No. 1 in the eyes of millions of fans across the world who will forever remember him as the fastest man alive.
Rio was the Jamaican sprinter's final Olympics and it has given everyone, including him, memories to cherish for a lifetime. Overcoming a hamstring injury earlier in the summer, Bolt has shown the world what champions are made of. As former record holder Asafa Powell put it simply, "he's a legend."

Steve Daniels has a great post at Analogue/Digital about Nairobi's Industrial Area. "Essential to the Industrial Area's thriving activity, and indeed a critical differentiator from rural jua kalis, is an equally thriving materials infrastructure. To sustain the manufacturing of so many diverse products, a separate industry has emerged for raw materials, both recycled and new."
"Working with scrap material presents new design challenges. Flexibility is critical when ideal parts are not always available."

Photography is a passion that I can't always find the time to do, but expend most of my energy thinking about. In an ideal world magic hour would last all day, and I would be able to shoot every day. In the real world I shoot when I can. In the ideal world I would concentrate on one genre of photography and practice it professionally. In the real world I like to shoot everything, and am happy with a commission or sale when it arrives.

Guide by Syphon – October 2014
This guide is for MK3 owners who want to fit a MK1 Leon Cupra R splitter. This guide was done on my CUPRA but it should apply to FRs as well. The splitter should fit other MK3 Leons, but I can't confirm you will get exactly the same fit as the bumper is different.
Parts list
- MK1 Leon Cupra R Splitter – Part number: 1ML805903 (cost around £45 at the time of writing)
- 20x 1″ self tapping screws (got mine from my dealer)
- Hacksaw (to cut down the middle struts)
- Sandpaper (to smooth afterwards)
- Masking tape (to hold the splitter in place when working)
- Screwdriver (powered if possible)
- Some cardboard or something soft to lie on when working under the car
- Drill with a small drill bit (for pre-drilling the holes)
General tips
Ideally this is a two person job, but I managed it on my own, although it would have been much easier with someone to hold the splitter whilst I attached it.
Also handle the splitter carefully. It marks easily as I found out with the handle of the hacksaw.
1. Get your parts ready. Some people have jacked up the car for this, but I managed it without needing to.
2. You need to trim down two centre vertical struts so they don't push against the bumper. Otherwise it will push the splitter down and look terrible (and you won't be able to fit it on very easily either).
I did this by guessing, as it was difficult to measure and hold things in place. In the end I did it lower than I needed to and they don't touch the bumper at all. This isn't an issue as you can't really see them anyway. If you had more patience and skills you could probably get them trimmed flush and at the correct angle if you wanted to.
You'll also want to sand them down afterwards ideally.
3. Pre- drill the holes where the screws will be going in. This makes it much easier to fit them from underneath.
4. Once you have the splitter prepared, line up the middle of the car with the vertical struts you have trimmed down. I found two honeycomb holes in the grill that helped me to line it up by eye. I put some masking tape in the middle to help as well.
5. Attaching the bumper in roughly the right place was tricky on my own, but the masking tape just helped hold it loosely as a guide. What I wanted to do was get one screw in the right place and then work from there.
6. I started from the middle and then worked outwards. This way you can curve the corners of the splitter around the curve of the bumper. I started on one side and got two screws in near the centre. The splitter was set up just so the lip along the top was out of sight, so enough of the splitter was visible to look good and give me the curve I would need.
7. Other people who have done this have had to cut the small end pieces to get them to fit. I managed to get them to hook in just next to the small mini flaps that sit in front of the wheel arch.
8. As you have worked round both sides just double check all the screws are in tight enough.
9. Step back and admire your work. Probably best go for a drive to make sure it doesn't fall off.

PREVIEW: Ireland Under 18 Women going for glory in Dublin
August 10, 2017
The Ireland Under 18 women's basketball team are aiming to write themselves into the history books this coming Friday, August 11th, as they contest the quarter-final of the FIBA U18 European Championship Division B against Israel in Dublin.
The two teams will go head-to-head in what is expected to be a sell-out game at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght at 6.15pm.
Tommy O'Mahony's charges are hoping to go further than any other underage Irish team has gone before as they bid to reach the semi-finals on Saturday, from where they would have two opportunities to qualify for Division A – a feat no underage Irish team has ever achieved.
"They [Israel] are really tough," O'Mahony stated after Ireland topped Pool D unbeaten on Wednesday evening. "They have a lot of guards and a lot of shooters – they like to shoot the three in transition. We'll have to work on our defence, big time."
Indeed, it's truly been an incredible week for Irish basketball, with huge crowds attending the games throughout the week, and the hosts currently lead the tournament statistics for assists.
"We always talk about sharing the ball and taking the right option and when other teams are scouting us, there's no one player who dominates the scoring," O'Mahony added.
All of the tournament's quarter-finals will take place at the National Basketball Arena on Friday, with the remaining classification games (9th-23rd place) tipping off at the National Indoor Arena in Abbotstown.
Tickets for all games are available now on www.eventbrite.ie and Irish fans are being advised to get their tickets early as it's predicted the game will sell out.
The FIBA U18 Women's European Championship Division B in Dublin is proudly supported by Sport Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, BBX Ireland and South Dublin County Council.
