Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist, pp. 63-65
Nicolae Carpathia is flying from Dallas to San Francisco, casually giving orders for the nuclear destruction of dozens of cities and the death of millions of people.
And neither Rayford nor Amanda Steele bothers trying to stop him.
I blame Bruce Barnes for that. For more than a year he had the members of the Tribulation Force studying the book of Revelation. That gave them the schedule for the months ahead, but didn’t suggest anything they could do about it.
They should have been studying the book of Judges. That bloody little text almost reads like a manual for just the sort of guerrilla warfare the Tribulation Force ought to be conducting.
Plan A: Codename Jael.
Amanda offers to serve refreshments to Nicolae and his “ambassadors.”
“Oh my,” she says. “Your cocktails look a bit cloudy. Here, let me stir those some more with this tent-peg I just happen to be carrying.”
If that doesn’t work, then try …
Plan B: Codename Ehud.
Having disabled the locks on the airplane lavatories, Amanda Steele sits patiently, crossing her legs to better conceal the dagger strapped to her right thigh. Eventually, even the Antichrist has to go.
And, if all else fails …
Plan C: Codename Samson.
Rayford Steele sits behind the controls of an airplane at 33,000 feet. The Antichrist is a passenger on that plane, and if he is not stopped, millions of people will be murdered. Rayford grips the wheel like Samson grasping the pillars. …
Nothing at all like that happens in this book, of course.
Rayford maintains his perfect safety record as the Antichrist’s personal pilot, always scrupulously ensuring that Nicolae arrives unharmed at his destination and never giving any thought to any other possibility. It never occurs to Rayford that any landing the Antichrist walks away from is probably not a good landing.
Rayford clandestinely listened in horror as Carpathia announced to his compatriots, “Chicago should be under retaliatory attack, even as we speak. Thank you for your part in this, and for the strategic nonuse of radioactive fallout. I have many loyal employees in that area, and though I expect to lose some in the initial attack, I need not lose any to radiation to make my point.”
We saw something like this earlier when New York City was nuked without “use of radioactive fallout.” I guess this is kind of like Global Weekly. There’s a Time magazine in the Left Behind books, but no Newsweek. Instead of Newsweek, there’s Global Weekly. Similarly in these books, instead of physics, there’s this kind of thing.
Carpathia and his lads decide to turn on the news to watch the destruction of Chicago.
Rayford could remain seated no longer. He didn’t know what he would say or do, if anything, but he simply could not stay in that cockpit, not knowing whether his loved ones were safe. He entered the cabin as the television was coming on, showing the first images from Chicago. Amanda gasped.
She gasped because she is surprised by what is happening in Chicago. She’s looking at the same TV screen as Nicolae is, just a few feet away from him, apparently, but somehow she didn’t hear any of what he and his ambassadors were saying.
Jerry Jenkins keeps drawing our attention to this, but he never seems to notice it himself. Amanda never hears a word that Nicolae says from a few feet away, so Jenkins keeps having Rayford pop out of the cockpit to give her updates on what he’s overheard. This is doubly annoying. Not only can readers not form any reasonable image of where Amanda might be sitting, but then we also have to read everything Nicolae says twice — once when he says it, and then again when Rayford relays it to Amanda.
That’s some ground-breaking bad writing right there. In this scene, Jenkins mixes it in with a more conventional staple of bad novels — the omniscient and omnipresent news camera. Who is filming the destruction of Chicago? Maybe in addition to the “no radiation” setting, Nicolae’s nuclear bombs come with a special “no damage to journalists and cameras” setting.
“Would you go to Chicago for me?” Rayford whispered.
“If you think I would be safe.”
“There’s no radiation.”
“How do you know that?”
They’re whispering, again, because Nicolae is sitting very close by and if they didn’t whisper then he could hear what they’re saying.
Rayford wants Amanda to catch a flight out of San Francisco after they land. It will have to be a flight leaving immediately, of course, because after Rayford’s plane takes off again, San Francisco is next on the list of cities to be destroyed.
“If you can’t get an immediate flight, and I mean before this plane leaves the ground again, you must reboard the Condor. Do you understand?”
“I understand, but why?”
“I can’t tell you now. Just get an immediate flight to Milwaukee. …”
I’m sure that booking a spur-of-the-moment “immediate flight to Milwaukee” won’t be a problem, since so far World War III has mostly been unfolding east of the Mississippi and why would that interfere with flights out of San Francisco?
Following the news from Chicago, the cable news channel broke for a commercial, and Rayford approached Carpathia.
Here’s a sentence that no human being will ever speak: “More breaking news on the destruction of Chicago, New York, Washington and London, but first, a word from our sponsors.”
“Sir, may I have a moment?”
“Certainly, Captain. Awful news out of Chicago, is it not?”
“Yes, sir, it is. In fact, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about.”
Humans don’t talk like this after big disasters. Rayford and Nicolae were both just looking at the same TV screen showing nothing but devastation where the third-largest city in America had once stood. Millions of people have just been killed.
And here they are chatting about it politely, making small talk. That little exchange is the sort of thing two people might say after, for example, Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS.
“Awful news out of Chicago.”
“Yes, sir, it is. If Alou had only caught that ball …”
“You know I have family in that area.”
“Yes, and I hope they are all safe,” Carpathia said.
Rayford wanted to kill him where he sat. He knew full well the man was the Antichrist …
At last. Finally.
Nicolae has just killed millions of people. He’s about to kill millions more if he isn’t stopped. And Rayford can stop him.
Rayford must stop him. He must, at least, try to stop him. This is not optional. Millions of lives are at stake. For us to accept that Rayford is any kind of hero, we need to see Rayford trying to stop Nicolae. If he doesn’t do something, right now, then everyone in San Francisco will die.Rayford has to try to stop Nicolae right here, right now.
But he doesn’t do that.
Rayford wanted to kill him where he sat. He knew full well the man was the Antichrist, and he also knew that this very person would be assassinated one day and be resurrected from the dead by Satan himself. Rayford had never dreamed he might be an agent in that assassination, but at that instant he would have applied for the job. He fought for composure. Whoever killed this man would be merely a pawn in a huge cosmic game. The assassination and resurrection would only make Carpathia more powerful and satanic than ever.
I can scarcely begin to list the many ways this is just horrifically wrong. Without a trace of irony or self-awareness, Rayford Steele just thought this: “Whoever killed this man would be merely a pawn in a huge cosmic game.” Astonishing.
Let me try to break this down a bit.
1. Jenkins finally gives an answer to the question readers have been asking ever since we first realized, back in Book 1, that Nicolae is the Antichrist: Why doesn’t Rayford/Buck just kill him?
But Jenkins’ answer doesn’t work. It’s not a convincing answer in general,* and it’s an utterly unconvincing answer here in this specific situation.
Here, right at this moment, it doesn’t matter if Nicolae will eventually “be resurrected from the dead by Satan himself.” Right at this moment, the only thing that matters is that every living thing in San Francisco will die if Rayford doesn’t act. If stopping Nicolae here only means that Undead Nicolae will be coming back later to try again, then Rayford can try to deal with that later.
Right now, his urgent concern shouldn’t be that complicated. It’s like one of those hypothetical questions from an ethics textbook — the kind so narrowly constructed that even Gandhi, Dorothy Day and John Howard Yoder would respond, “Well, in that case, I would kill the guy …”**
2. The idea that the Antichrist will “be assassinated one day and be resurrected from the dead by Satan himself” is based on Tim LaHaye’s “literal” interpretation of Revelation 13:1-3:. One of its heads seemed to have received a death-blow, but its mortal wound had been healed. In amazement the whole earth followed the beast.
This same opaque passage was popular back in the 1980s when “Bible prophecy scholars” were proclaiming Mikhail Gorbachev as the most likely candidate for Antichrist. They saw it as a reference to the port-wine stain birthmark on Gorbachev’s forehead. (Yes, really.)
Even within the tiny world of premillennial dispensationalist End Times mania, this passage has many different interpretations. Rayford and his friends only ever considered one of those — that of the Rev. Billings and of Tim LaHaye. And they’re so confident that this one view must be right they’re willing to sit idly by as millions of people die.
3. Rayford Steele knows that he is already a mere “pawn in a huge cosmic game.” As the personal pilot and a key assistant to the Antichrist, he seems to be Nicolae’s pawn, but he thinks of himself as a pawn for God.
But that doesn’t really matter. The way this cosmic game works, both sides are up to the same thing. Nicolae wants to slaughter millions of people and God wants to slaughter millions of people. And after all, in this game, the Antichrist is simply playing out his divinely appointed role in God’s great plan. So is Satan, for that matter.
Serve the Antichrist or serve Satan and you’re really just serving God, ultimately. And vice versa. That’s the game.
You may think that calling this a “huge cosmic game” is a devastating critique of the authors’ religious ideology, but it’s a phrase they use here themselves. And they use it proudly.
For LaHaye and Jenkins, it’s all just a game, but it is God’s game. If the Antichrist wants to kill millions of people, then God must want those people dead. And if God wants them dead, then it would be wrong to try to save them.
Rayford, of course, does not try to save them. He is a mere pawn in this huge cosmic game, but not the sort of pawn that does anything to interfere.
He asks Nicolae for permission for Amanda to fly to Milwaukee.
“I would really feel a lot better if she could be there with them to help as needed.”
“As you wish,” Carpathia said, and it was all Rayford could do not to breathe a huge sigh of relief in the man’s face.
Forget about Rayford going out in a blaze of glory like Samson. Forget about him lifting a finger to warn anyone in San Francisco of the unholy death about to rain down on them all. Rayford can’t worry about that right now, because he’s using every ounce of strength and courage he has to avoid looking relieved.
– – – – – – – – – – – –
* So now we know that the Antichrist is prophesied to be assassinated, after which Satan will bring him back from the dead, more powerful than ever. And it seems the Tribulation Force can’t do anything to change that.
OK. But they could at least try to make the devil work for it. If Satan plans on resurrecting the Antichrist, then let him have to sift Nicolae’s ashes out of the other ashes with which his scattered remains have been mixed before being buried in hundreds of separate parcels on six continents, all on holy ground. Why make it easy for him?
** My undergrad ethics professor seemed to enjoy my efforts to strain such hypotheticals to the breaking point:
“I’m a lousy shot, I’d probably just end up killing one of those poor kids.”
“Mistah Clock,” he’d say in that accent of his. “You ah an excellent shot. A world-class mocksman. You nevah miss.”
“Never?”
“Nevah.”
“Then I shoot the red wire on the bomb’s detonator, defusing the bomb and allowing the children to escape.”
“Ah, Mistah Clock, but the red wire is directly ova his hot. To shoot the wire you’ll have to kill the terrorist.”
[Ten minutes later, after several more implausible scenarios are ruled out.]
“Well, in that case, I guess I would kill the guy.”
He was really amazing at constructing those hypotheticals so that any other option became impossible. In one semester of his class, I think I killed more hypothetical Nazis than Aldo Raine. |

Siberian coal mine digs out FreeBSD funding
Summary: Builder: A FreeBSD programmer has hit his funding targets - with donations coming in from firms as far afield as Siberia
The donations, for the requested 33,000 Danish kroner (£2,900) a month, will support Poul-Henning Kamp through to November 2004. Announcing the success of the search for funding, Kamp said he had KK8,684 spare.
The funding is significant for those who develop and use FreeBSD because it illustrates that the users are willing to support full-time development at least of parts of the operating system. FreeBSD is available for no charge under the BSD License and does not enjoy the huge corporate sponsorship that Linux has attracted from the likes of HP and IBM.
Kamp issued the request after losing one of his big contracting customers. In his initial request he said this meant that his order book was empty for the second half of 2004. Kamp is known in FreeBSD circles for, among other things, his work on the Jail facility which provides the ability to partition the operating system environment, while maintaining the simplicity of the UNIX "root" model.
"We have some major development tasks in front of us and many of those tasks are almost impossible to complete on a spare-time basis, but three to six months' full-time attention of one of our most senior developers would solve the problem," said Kamp.
Many donations were in the range of 10 to 100 euros, but some went further. The largest donor by far was Pittsburgh, US-based Web-hosting company Pair Networks, which according to Kamp donated $20,025 (£10,900). Another sizeable donation, for $1,000, came from Germany-based consultant Claudio Eichenberger of Working Solutions GmbH.
Eichenberger, who has been using FreeBSD himself and installing it for clients since 1994, said he made the donation because he sees FreeBSD as being an essential and rock-solid operating system. "It's a great system and I make a lot of money from installing it for clients," said Eichenberger, adding that he does not feel comfortable using something without giving something back.
This is not the first time that Eichenberger has donated to FreeBSD. Four or five years ago, he said, he donated about 5,000 Swiss francs to the project for Java. "And now we have Java on FreeBSD, so it was worth it. It's not just that I give the money for anything -- I have to give it for something specific." Eichenberger currently has issues with stability of FreeBSD 5 on multi-processor systems. "I think he'll work on that a bit," he said. Kamp has posted details of the work that the funding will cover here.
Sergei Plaxienko, chief information officer at Belon, a Siberian coal-mining company with 7,000 employees, donated $1,203 to Kamp because, he said: "I know this guy, I know he is experienced and driven."
"I cannot be there [developing] myself personally, but I can be there by this small amount of money," said Plaxienko, who acknowledged that the donation is a substantial sum for anyone in his home town of Novosibirsk. "Development of FreeBSD is very important to me because we use it for our Web servers, mail exchanges and internal firewalls. It's core to our operational system."

I was excited to get my hands on the book right after reading Six of Crows. I just wanted more from the world and wanted to find out how things will be tied. Later did I realize that the book left me wanting more.
Synopsis:
In the Crooked Kingdom, we continue where we left off in the last book. Kaz and the rest of the team must find a way to deal with the fact that they were doubled crossed by Jan Van Eck. And top off the problem, Inej was taken prisoner as well. In order to rescue Inej and get the money they were promised, Kaz must come up with a plan to make it happen. To make things worse the word got out about the Parem Jurda and about Kuwei and now every country wants it for themselves. Now in this book Kaz and the characters must fight their enemies, get their money and find a way to survive.
Review:
I had so much fun reading Crooked Kingdom. In fact, the duology stepped up from the last book. I actually liked how the action built up and the fact that all countries were in the same city made it even more intense. I also liked the fact that I got to see more of the city of Ketterdam and how dark and grim it is. It made me think of the show Gotham or even Starlight city from Arrow combined. I also liked how Leigh also had more Grisha elements in the book as well. I have a feeling that I should read the Grisha Trilogy after this.
Starting off Kaz who I pretty much think is the most interesting character has developed so much in the book. I also like despite being a cruel, and smart person he has many sides of him. I also like seeing a part of him that actually cares for his team. I mean when someone is in trouble or down he will actually give a look. But at the same, I also like how Leigh didn’t make a 180 change for Kaz. It was more realistic and gradual which help keep the character we know.
For Inej, I think she is one of the strongest characters. I like how regardless of her past and the situations she knows how to take care of herself. She is tough and very smart. I also like the fact she and Kaz share this bond where they work well with each other. I hope another book comes out so I can see if they actually get together.
On to Wylan and Jesper. In the book, you get to know more about the characters and their backstory. I also liked Wylan, especially because in the first book I thought he was a whiny kid who just wanted to rebel. But throughout the book, I got a new respect for him. And Jesper he is just funny.
Lastly, I think the way it ended was perfect and it gave more open possibilities of more books. Like maybe spin-offs for the characters and maybe another series featuring the characters because I think it would totally fun to explore. I also would’ve liked to see how the characters who evolve as well. So if you are interested in checking out the book I have links and until my next post keep on reading. |

This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only.’re encouraged to perceive that Iraq is most important, at least implicitly, because of what it means for the USA: its image in other countries, the deaths and wounds of its soldiers, the political strength of the president and, this fall, the likely effects on the midterm congressional elections.
During September, as the Nexis media database attests, the US" can be disputed with lofty calls to persevere — doing the difficult right thing — until conditions on the ground change, the Iraqi government gets stronger and so forth. But opposition to the war that turns on morality cannot be so easily deflected in such ways.
The extreme American self-absorption of the "quagmire" debate lends itself to ostensible solutions that shift — but perpetuate — the U.S. government’s central role in the carnage. Reigning political manipulator Karl Rove, whose Machiavellian electoral calculations have had extraordinary leverage over the current administration’s foreign policy, is very likely to seek further U.S. reliance on air power that uses the latest Pentagon technologies as blunt and lethal instruments in Iraq.
A key goal will be to bring down U.S. casualty rates and reduce American troop levels in Iraq while the people of that country suffer further deaths and destruction.
If the Iraq war is primarily framed as a problem because of what it’s doing to Americans, the "solutions" could make the war seem like less of a quagmire even while more Iraqi people pay with their lives. Media arguments over whether Iraq is a quagmire turn the spotlight away from the human calamities that Iraqis are experiencing on a daily basis, while American taxpayers continue to subsidize Uncle. |
to capitalism, theorists were singing the praises of the third way or the idea of changing the world without taking power. Today, however, capitalism is facing its worst crisis in decades and socialism is hailed from Venezuela to Nepal. At this new conjuncture, Michael Lebowtiz’s Socialist Alternative helps to provide a theoretical way for twenty-first century socialism.
First, a few words about the author. Michael Lebowitz is a long-time activist. In the 1960s, he was active in Students for a Democratic Society. In the 1970s, he served as an economic policy chair for the New Democratic Party in Canada. Currently, Lebowitz is working in Venezuela at the Centro Internacional Miranda. Lebowitz has authored a number of books on Marxist theory such as Beyond Capital: Marx’s Political Economy of the Working Class (Winner of the Isaac Deutscher Memorial Prize in 2004), Build It Now, and Following Marx. All of Lebowitz’s works are inspired by a solid grounding in Marx’s method and a deep revolutionary vision.
In this sense, Socialist Alternative is no different. Yet the timing could not be better: a work that reaffirms the socialist vision in the midst of the Great Recession. That is what Lebowitz sets out to do. His work “draws upon the Venezuelan experiment to develop a general vision of socialism and concrete directions for struggle” (9). Lebowitz begins by asking a question: “What is a good society?” (12). Lebowitz believes that “a good society is one that permits the full development of human potential” (12).
As Lebowitz puts it, “the logic of capital generates a society in which all human values are subordinated to the pursuit of profits” (16). The logic of capital entails the exploitation of workers. Capital alienates workers from the products of their labor, crushes them with the speed-up and extended workday, and deforms the human being. Capitalism also brings with it a hierarchical division of labor, self-interest, and unemployment. Lebowitz points out that capitalism is an organic system that continually reproduces itself.
Lebowitz’s analysis of capitalism is important to his development of a socialist alternative. Just as capitalism is an organic system with its own relations and mode of production, socialism must also be an organic system. That requires revolutionary practice where, in order “to change a structure in which all relations coexist simultaneously and support one another, you have to do more than change a few elements in that structure; you must stress at all times the hub of these relations — human beings as subjects and products of their own activity” (129). For Lebowitz, this means that the key to any potential socialist transformation is the self-activity of the masses.
Here is a clear strength of Lebowitz’s book: it is not a rehash of Soviet-style “socialism” or social democracy. Lebowitz criticizes the USSR for its alienated and undemocratic society that was ruled from the top down. Lebowitz also believes social democracy is not willing to take the measures necessary to confront capital. Neither of these systems can serve as an alternative to capitalism. (For those on the left not affiliated to either social democracy or the USSR, this is old news.) That brings us to the following question: if capitalism does not produce a good society that ensures human development, what type of alternative can?
Lebowitz answers this by laying out the socialist triangle. The socialist triangle consists of three necessary parts: social ownership of the means of production, social production organized by workers, and the satisfaction of communal needs. It would be useful to look at each side of the triangle to elaborate what all this means.
The first part of the triangle is the social ownership of the means of production. Social ownership “implies a profound democracy from below rather than decisions by a state that stands over and above society” (41). This means that factories are run by the workers, not bosses or bureaucrats. Lebowitz does a good job here in differentiating state ownership (with its hierarchical and undemocratic relations) from the democratic control of the workers. Social ownership is necessary to satisfy the needs of all people, rather than just the needs of private owners.
The second part of the triangle is social production organized by workers. Under capitalism, production is organized by capital which exploits workers. Workers are also degraded by capital and unable to develop their full human potential. Social production organized by workers is necessary to build “relations of cooperation and solidarity” (86). When workers organize production, they develop their human capabilities, which is necessary for socialism.
The third part of the triangle is the satisfaction of communal needs. With communal production “where the associated producers engage in productive activity for the needs of the community, there is the continuous process of development of the capabilities of producers” (81). Lebowitz contrasts communal needs to individual needs. Where self-interest or material incentives are the driving force, this reproduces the defects of capitalism. As Lebowitz makes abundantly clear, socialism can’t be built with the tools of capitalism.
Thus, the socialist triangle is an organic system that seeks to overcome the defects of capitalism. For example, without the goal of producing for communal needs, an attempt at socialism can lead back to capitalism. Lebowitz clarifies this point by using the example of Yugoslav factories. There, workers had some control over their factories (although there was also a large managerial layer), but the factories “were driven by one thing — self-interest” (74). In running factories for self-interest, the Yugoslav experiment led back to a capitalist system. Thus, without all the parts of the triangle in place, socialism cannot function as an organic system.
Lebowitz goes into how to make the socialist triangle an organic system. He discusses the role of workers’ councils, connections between producers in different communities, and expansion of the commons. However, Lebowitz doesn’t offer a blueprint for the future. Rather, he emphasizes “that each country must invent its own path” (128). Although clearly inspired by the Venezuelan Revolution, Lebowitz doesn’t believe it has found the golden road to socialism.
For those unfamiliar with the Marxist vocabulary and method, this book will not be easy. Yet this book is necessary. Those who dare to read will find a bold vision of a profoundly humanistic socialism. Those looking for answers to the miseries produced by the financial crash and imperialist war should start with The Socialist Alternative.

"They hurt my sister, they hurt my father, and now they're trying to hurt me," said the correspondent.
John Huddy, who was terminated on Monday from his position as a Jerusalem-based correspondent for Fox News, is strongly pushing back on the network's claim that he was dismissed because of his role in a "physical altercation."
The network, in a statement to reporters on Monday, said the altercation happened earlier this month and was investigated. "The network’s investigation concluded last week, and due to observation of the Sabbath on Friday, terminated Huddy’s employment this morning," the company said.
Huddy, in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, said the network has it all wrong. Huddy said there was no physical altercation, and that he only learned that this was the reason given publicly for his firing from reading news reports.
The "altercation" that Fox News referred to in dismissing Huddy occurred at an airport in Barcelona on Oct. 12. Huddy said that a freelance photographer pushed a cart full of equipment into him, and that the two of them subsequently "had words," but that no blows were exchanged. Huddy said he already had bad blood with the photographer and with a producer in the bureau because they had, months earlier, badmouthed the women who had accused Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment — including his sister, Juliet Huddy — in front of him. (He said he complained to his bureau chief about the comments.)
"This is disgusting what they're doing," Huddy said of his termination from Fox News. "It's just awful. For what? Because I got in an argument with somebody?" Earlier, he said, "I'm not trying to play the victim or be a martyr. As journalists, it's our job to expose injustice, and this is brutal."
A spokesperson for Fox News told THR that the network stands by the statement it made on Monday about Huddy's dismissal.
Furthermore, Huddy said he had been targeted for dismissal by the network for months because of who his family is. His sister had been a Fox News personality, and, according to The New York Times, had lodged a complaint against O'Reilly for inappropriate behavior and subsequently settled the matter with 21st Century Fox in September 2016. She appeared on former Fox News host Megyn Kelly's NBC show on Monday morning and talked about her experience, granting that she was limited in what she could say because of the terms of her settlement. On her show on Tuesday morning, Kelly told her audience that Huddy, her guest's brother, had been fired by Fox News before her 9 a.m. show a day earlier had concluded.
Huddy said the timing of his firing — on the same day as his sister's high-profile appearance on NBC, her first — was "more than just a coincidence," but stopped short of saying that the connection was definitive.
John Huddy's father, John Huddy Sr., was a consultant for Fox News and was very close with the late Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, who served as his godfather. "When Roger resigned, as soon as he was out the door, my dad was fired immediately," he said. "And that was it. Despite the fact that my dad had helped Roger really build the company.
"They hurt my sister, they hurt my father, and now they're trying to hurt me," Huddy said by phone from Israel.
Huddy said he was told he was being investigated last week. On Monday, Huddy said he was called into a conference room, told that the investigation determined that he his behavior had been deemed "inappropriate and unprofessional" and was fired. But Huddy said he was not told that he was being dismissed because of a physical altercation. "I had to call several times and ask over and over what I was fired for," he said.
Huddy was not given severance and did not sign a non-disclosure agreement, which he said is why he is able to discuss his situation.
"I have the liberty to say now how I feel about these things," he said. "I don't like bad-mouthing companies and places where I work, but there were clearly so many problems and so many issues, and the way this was handled was just so terrible. It's so bad, it's so wrong." Huddy said he was working without a contract, since his ended in late April.
A former reporter for Fox 5 News in New York City, Huddy had worked in Israel for Fox News since 2014. His wife is three months pregnant. "I don't know what I'm going to do," he said of his next move. "It's a really bad position to be put in. But that's what this company does." |
My partner and I knew we wanted to collaborate on
something we both loved. My eye for fashion-forward pieces and his perspective
on design and proportion suggested handbags as a place for collaboration. Tucker
Paisley is still very new, having launched just last year. We really wanted the
debut collection to have a singular focus on our Signature Pattern since the
pattern is meant to be the core of the line. We think our first line
accomplished this task while still providing enough variety to our customers.
Our latest bags add more textures, colors, and looks to our line, drawing on our
signature shapes and patterns but using more luxurious leathers. We are also
spending more time on specialty bags and accessories, which we see as a natural
extension of the handbag line.
The Tucker Paisley Signature Pattern makes every Tucker Paisley bag unique and
striking. Some of our bags showcase the Signature Pattern on the exterior while
others use the pattern in more subtle ways, as lining or accent. Many of our
larger bags feature our Signature Pattern on washable, dry cleanable
cotton-blend fabric, which is backed with canvas. Our latest collection uses
Italian leathers, in patents, mattes, and metallics. We continue to draw
inspiration from our Signature Pattern. We will never lose the classic roots of
the Signature Pattern, but we’ll constantly be thinking about ways to update it
and use it in unexpected ways. We see Tucker Paisley customers as
sophisticated, fashion-forward women who view handbags as key accessories in
their day and evening wardrobes. These are women looking for a unique bag that
is well-designed, well-made, and a fitting accent to their own signature look.
We saw a distinct hole in the market when it came to well-made bags that mixed
fabric and leather and offered something different. We wanted to introduce
interesting patterns and textures and colors to the handbag market at prices
that would allow our customers to buy them as pieces to really make an outfit.
Our Signature Pattern, which is a modern, sophisticated take on paisley, is our
original creation. All of our fabric is customized with our pattern so we can
continue to experiment with new textures and colors. We’ve already produced more
than 10 color combinations and printed on cotton-blends, satins, suedes, and
canvas. Also, each bag is named after a special woman in our lives, with our
first collection honoring our grandmothers, Henne and Molly.
The most memorable nightmare took place when we were preparing to debut our line
with our launch party in Los Angeles last year, we made last-minute design and
construction changes to what has become our signature look – the Molly Tote –
which pushed us right up against our party. We were literally picking up
finished bags from production and driving them to the party. Of course,
everything worked out, no one knew about the rush before the party, and the
construction change ended up being a key to the bag’s success.
To catch the eye of emerging style icon Katherine Heigl was a great moment. She
saw our Signature Pattern Molly Tote in a Los Angeles shop, picked it up
instantly, and the next night carried it down the red carpet at the premiere of
Dreamgirls. That doesn’t happen very often. Seeing that bag in her hands as the
centerpiece of her outfit made us realize that we could really get our design
ideas circulating. |

Take cover! RCA captain Greg Swansbury clears the ball during the second half of the match.
For more photos from the match please click here.
Goal scorers - Consett: Cornish; Mackay. Sunderland RCA: Larkin; Davison.
After three successive victories - including last Saturday's narrow Buildbase FA Vase win over Bridlington Town - second-placed Sunderland RCA made the trip to league leaders Consett for this afternoon's mouthwatering top-of-the-table Northern League match.
RCA named an unchanged starting XI and substitutes bench from the win over Bridlington Town last Saturday.
The two sides lined up as follows:
Consett: Hayes; Green; Holden; Smith; Purewal; Wilkinson; Craggs (c); Lawrence; Sweet; Dowson; Mackay. Subs: Lavery; Male; Gray; Colling; Cornish.
Sunderland RCA: Tsapalos; Lilley; McNab; Preston; Swansbury (c); Hodgson; Charlton; Elliott; O'Neill; Page; Larkin. Subs: Davison; Moan; Kyle Davis; Armstrong; Kokoska.
The match got off to a scrappy start, with a strong wind blowing across the pitch. After an opening ten minutes in which neither goal had been threatened, RCA took the lead in the 11th minute. RCA won a corner on the right, which was delivered into the Consett penalty area by McNab, O'Neill rose well to head the ball down at the far post, and Larkin was first to react with a stooping close-range header. Seven minutes later and Page made a good run through central midfield before playing in Larkin, whose shot from a tight angle was blocked for a corner which was cleared. In the 20th minute, Larkin was again in the action as his cross was headed behind for a corner which was headed clear by Holden. Two minutes later and Consett had their first effort on goal - after some neat build-up play, Smith fired in an ambitious shot from 35 yards which was on target but comfortably held by Tsapalos.
In the 24th minute, RCA were forced into a first substitution, after Dylan Elliott jumped for a header, landed awkwardly and was forced to retire with an ankle injury and was replaced by Mark Davison. Barely a minute later and Consett had a great chance to equalise as a ball was played out to Mackay on the left, who cut into the RCA penalty area but fired his shot wide of the far post. Back on the attack went RCA and Larkin had a shot blocked at the front post by Hayes. Just after the half-hour mark, Holden fired in another long-range effort for the home side that flew high over the crossbar. In the 35th minute, Consett were awarded a free-kick just inside the RCA half for a handball by Swansbury. Craggs’ free-kick was punched clear by Tsapalos under pressure. With seven minutes to the break, Lilley played the ball into the Consett penalty area, where Davison fired in a shot that was well blocked by Hayes.
Half-time: Consett 0 Sunderland RCA 1
During the interval, RCA were forced into a second substitution as Nathan O'Neill, who had received treatment during the first half, was replaced by Kyle Davis.
Consett emerged for the second half fired up and immediately put RCA under sustained pressure, but without really troubling Tsapalos in the RCA goal. In the 57th minute, Consett produced a good move in which they patiently moved the ball around the pitch, making at least 15 passes, before playing in Mackay down the left whose cross was blocked for a corner which was cleared by Swansbury. In the 68th minute, and completely against the run of play, RCA doubled the lead - Page broke from inside the RCA half before playing the ball forward to Davison who guided a shot from 25 yards across Hayes and into the far corner. Precision over power. Consett kept up the pressure on RCA, and, in the 73rd minute, substitute Cornish fired a shot over the crossbar from just inside the penalty area. Three minutes later and RCA made their final substitution, with Dominic Moan replacing Michael Charlton.
As the match entered the final ten minutes, Craggs fired in a shot that Tsapalos did well to hold, diving full length to his right. In the 82nd minute, the pressure finally told as Consett pulled a goal back with a terrific move as Mackay and Cornish played a neat one-two and Cornish raced into the penalty area before slotting the ball past Tsapalos. Three minutes later and RCA had a chance to win the match as Larkin played the ball out to Moan on the left side of the Consett penalty area. Moan fired in a high, goalbound shot that Hayes did well to tip over the crossbar. Barely a minute later and Consett were level - a long ball forward was only half cleared by the RCA defence and Mackay fired in a superb shot from 25 yards which nestled into the top corner, despite Tsapalos getting a hand to it.
A scrappy match - by general consensus - that failed to live up to its top-two, cracking match build-up, although there were some very good pieces of finishing from both sides for the goals.
RCA draw a league game for the first time this season, but remain second in the table, with 25 points from 14 matches played.
Consett attacked in numbers in the second half, putting RCA under considerable pressure, and did very well to fight back from two goals down, but RCA will certainly feel like this is two points dropped after leading 2-0 with less than ten minutes remaining.
Manager Martin Swales probably summed up all of RCA's feelings perfectly in one, short sentence when he turned to me, deep into stoppage time, and said “it feels like a defeat”.
Next up for RCA is a half-term treat as we take on Sunderland AFC in the Durham County Challenge Cup First Round at Meadow Park, this Tuesday, 23 October, with a 7:30pm kick-off. A cracking Sunderland derby cup-tie is in prospect - please come along and support the lads in this big match. |
DeAndre Hopkins says ‘somebody owes me an apology’ after flag erases catch of the year
DeAndre Hopkins is a damn marvel that only penalties can stop — at least temporarily, anyways.
On Thursday night, Hopkins exploded for six catches, 82 yards, and two touchdowns during the Texans’ dominant win over the Dolphins that pushed their winning run to five games. But in the process, Hopkins saw his best catch of the night — and arguably the best catch of the entire season — wiped away by offsetting penalties. One of those penalties went against Hopkins, who got dinged for offensive pass interference.
It didn’t look like offensive pass interference. It looked like the catch of the year.
Let’s admire that one more time.
After the game, once Hopkins had a chance to watch the catch for himself, he rightfully demanded an apology.
“I replayed it a whole bunch of times to see if I pushed off,” Hopkins said, via Fox 26’s Mark Berman. “I’m an honest judge. It was hand battling. The guy had two hands. He was off balance. So I think somebody owes me an apology. I don’t know who it is, but somebody owes me an apology.”
The good news for Hopkins is that the negated catch didn’t really have an impact on the game as the Texans coasted to a 42-23 win. He also managed to score two touchdowns, so it’s not like the catch prevented him from enjoying a big night. What’s annoying is that when we’re ready to look back on the season’s best catches, a non-existent push off will be what prevents Hopkins’ catch from entering the conversation.
That being said, Hopkins’ catch and his big outing should provide a reminder that he’s in the best receiver conversation alongside the likes of Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham, and Adam Thielen (yes, Thielen suddenly belongs in the debate). Since entering the league in 2013, Hopkins ranks sixth in receptions, fourth in receiving yards, and seventh in touchdown catches. Keep in mind, before Deshaun Watson arrived last season, Hopkins was catching passes from quarterbacks like Brock Osweiler, Ryan Mallett, Brian Hoyer, and Ryan Fitzpatrick (among others). Despite inconsistencies around him, he’s managed to remain productive while coming down with catches that measure up to the one above.
If the Texans are going to journey back to the playoffs, they’ll need Hopkins at his best — especially now that WR2 Will Fuller is reportedly expected to miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.

Hour Bit Club LTD Scam Review
OFFICIAL SCAM SITE: hourbit.club
The Hour Bit Club LTD program is a crypto investment system that promises great results and a huge hourly ROI. When you first go to the website, it does appear to be pretty legit. These guys obviously put a lot of work into creating a site that looks the part. However, as we know all too well from dealing with thousands of cryptocurrency scams, looks can and often are very deceiving. Sure, the Hour Bit Club LTD system promises awesome returns, and in fact guarantees them, but from what we have gathered, these clowns are all talk and no walk.
The Hour Bit Club LTD app does not provide any solid evidence that any people have ever made money here, or that this crypto investment program is legit at all. Yet, from all of the evidence which we have gathered, it is pretty obvious that there is something super shady going on here. From what we can tell, there are many different scam factors here which you need to watch out for. We are here today doing this Hour Bit Club LTD review for your benefit. We want to keep you and your financial security safe, which is not something that can happen if you get mixed up with this crypto scam.
Hour Bit Club LTD Program – FAKE PEOPLE!
One of the first signs that the Hour Bit Club LTD system is fake has to do with the alleged leadership team. We are not even going to name the people we are shown because they are phonies anyway. We are shown pictures of the supposed leadership team, but it is totally obvious that these are stolen or purchased stock images from other websites.
The names which have been given to these people are fictitious. We looked each of them up and came up totally empty. The conclusion here is that the Hour Bit Club LTD app is totally anonymous and faceless. We do not actually know who is in charge here. Guys, if you do not know whose hands your money is in, you cannot possibly trust Hour Bit Club LTD software at all. You just cannot every trust any kind of anonymous crypto investment program like this. It is bound to be a scam if the real owners are too spineless to reveal their true identities.
Speaking of fake people, the Hour Bit Club LTD user testimonials which are featured on the website are also bogus. The people we see are also stolen stock images combined with random names. These people have no online presence and as far as we can tell, they do not exist at all. Heck, the people seen here probably do not even know that their pictures have been used for these fake Hour Bit Club LTD user testimonials.
On that same note, the company itself is not real either. We looked up Hour Bit Club LTD in the UK and across the whole world. Nowhere is it registered as an official company. So, this system only exists on the internet, but is not an official business entity. This also means that this crypto scam is not licensed at all. In other words, it is not legally allowed to accept investments from people. Yes, they will take your money, but they are just stealing it, not investing it.
Hour Bit Club LTD System – NOT PROFITABLE!
One thing that we know for sure about this Hour Bit Club LTD app is that it is not profitable at all. First and foremost, we are told that our ROI will be generated through the use of a high powered crypto trading platform. Apparently, this platform is so good that it never ever loses trades, only wins them, and it uses some awesome algorithm to do so. Excuse us, but this is not nearly good enough to convince us that the Hour Bit Club LTD system has any merit or is profitable in the least. We want a real and concise explanation of how this crypto trading app is supposed to work.
Next, the amount of money we are told that this Hour Bit Club LTD system can generate is truly ludicrous. We are told that it can generate revenues of 18% per hour off of a small $800 investment. This would mean that you can invest $800 and end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars by the end of the week. This is so insanely stupid that we do not know whether to laugh or cry. As we always said, if making this kind of cash for doing no work at all was possible, world poverty and hunger issues would not be a thing. We have talked to tons of people out there that have already been taken to the cleaners by this scam. They all say the same thing. They invest the money and then it just disappears altogether.
Finally, we also need to mention that this is indeed a Ponzi scheme and a pyramid scheme. Promising huge returns without anything actually materializing is what a Ponzi scheme is. Next, these guys also have an affiliate referral system, which means that if you get your friends and family to invest money into the Hour Bit Club LTD crypto system, you can get up to 10% of their investment. However, of course, this is simply not true. Sure, the crooks running the show here will happily take the money, but you will never actually get any kind of commission from it.
Hour Bit Club LTD Scam Review – Conclusion
At the end of the day, the only reasonable thing that we can say about this Hour Bit Club LTD software is that it is indeed a rip off. It serves one purpose, which is to defraud innocent people like you out of your hard earned money. Please folks, whatever you do, just stay very far away from this cryptocurrency trading<< |

Handbags hold a special place in my heart. Seriously. Some girls like shoes, some like coats, some, like me, love handbags.

What Travel Writers Say
The Dazzle and Magic of Niagara's Winter
© By Elle Andra-Warner
Niagara as a top winter destination? Absolutely. Niagara delivers its own wonderful brand of winter dazzle, beginning in early November with the spectacular annual Winter Festival of Lights now in its 25th year. Every night for two months (November 8, 2008 to January 5, 2009) over 3 million sparkling tree and ground lights and 125 giant illuminated animated light displays are lit along five kilometres of the Niagara Parkway (known during the festival as Niagara Parks Winter Wonderland), at Dufferin Island, Lundy's Lane (a.k.a. Candy Cane Lane) and downtown
Niagara Falls. It is a brilliant visual experience.
The lightshow extravaganza sets the scene for an eclectic lineup of festival events. Like the nightly colourful illuminations of wintry Niagara Falls. Or fireworks exploding in the dark sky high above the shimmering falls. Concerts, races, arts and crafts. Comedy Fest. Canada's biggest free outdoor New Year's Eve "Party in the Park" with over 30,000 attending. And much more.
The Winter Festival of Lights winds down in early January, but Niagara keeps the winter party going with one of North America's most incredible winter events, the 13th annual Niagara Icewine Festival (January 18 - February 3, 2009).
Known for producing the world's best icewine, the Niagara region began hosting the "everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-Icewine" event in 1995, and now draws over 150,000 local residents and visitors. It kicks off with the annual gourmet gala dinner (Xerox's Fire and Ice Gala Evening & Silent Auction) where 30 Niagara wineries showcase over 100 different kinds of icewine in what has become Canada's largest public Icewine tasting.
During the festival's 18 days, there are plenty of special events, wine and food seminars, outdoor cafes, Icewine bars, winter tours to Niagara wineries, carriage tours and ah yes, Icewine samplings (a $30 Niagara Icewine Discovery Pass provides an invites to many of the events).
Niagara has put ''fun'' back into the festive spirit of winter, but don't take my word for it - come see for yourself and catch the dazzle and magic of a Niagara winter.
Elle Andra-Warner is a Thunder Bay-based travel writer and photographer who has authored several books.

Well there' women in the city that make me feel shitty
And there's some that make me pack a wad
But the ones that are fine, oh will never be mine
They won't even give me the time of day
1st Chorus:
I ain't got no money, I ain't got no home
I gotta find me a bim to live with tonight
2nd Chorus:
Sport'n a woody, when you're walkin' by
Sport'n a woody, when you're titties fly
Sport'n a woody, rippin' my fly
Sport'n a woody, till the day I die yeah
Well my woody gets big when you're takin' a swig
And your drink's makin you loosen up
Starts a-talkin' to me, well look down and you'll see
What the hell I been talkin' about
1st Chorus
2nd Chorus
Don't know what I'm gonna do, can't stop lookin' at you
'Cause you're sure lookin' nice to me
Well I wish you were sedated
So I could at least penetrate you
For an hour, maybe three yeah
I can't go downtown much, all the working girl butts
ya know they really make my woody happy
But in the night clubs and such
And all the corner s***s
Might just make my waistband go snappy!
Sport'n a woody
Sport'n a woody
Sport'n a woody
Sport'n a woody
Sport'n a woody, for the rest of my life I'll be...

two-hour Capitol Hill preparation training featuring Ben Brubeck, vice president of regulatory, labor and state affairs of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Metro Washington, who educated members on the legislative issues. Participants received a briefing package with individual schedules, maps, talking points, and other materials to assist with their respective pre-arranged meetings with House and Senate offices. The next day, members took the Hill en masse to meet with elected officials and policy experts about 2018 AFSA policy agendas.
The AFSA delegation met with over 20 Congressional representatives and staffers including:
• Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA): Senate Committee on Appropriations,
• Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI): Responsible for inserting the provision for sprinklers in the tax bill in the House,
• Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fl): House Committee on Financial Services & House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and
• Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY): House Committee on Education and the Workforce, Subcommittees on Higher Education and Workforce Development and Workforce Protections.
These meetings focused on pro-merit shop policies such as advocating for increased funding for workforce development and apprenticeship, fair and open competition on jobsites, providing thanks for the inclusion of fire sprinklers in the recent H.R. 1 Tax Reform Bill, and cautioning about the increase in states prohibiting statewide and new, local adoptions of fire sprinkler requirements in new, one- and two-family homes.
“This Legislative Fly-In inaugural event was a powerful teambuilder for the Upstate NY AFSA Chapter,” says Stacey J. Fantauzzi of North East Fire Protection Systems, Inc., Burnt Hills, New York. “As we shared our request for continued support of merit shop apprenticeship training, the Fair & Open Competition Act, and expressed our appreciation for their support of the Tax reform bill especially Section 179 to each legislator’s representative, we learned that we have much more in common than we realized.”
Often, when legislation, regulations, and policies are debated and enacted, fire sprinkler contractors are rarely given an opportunity to provide feedback. It’s beneficial for AFSA members to provide more input in shaping these laws. As such, AFSA will continue to increase the voice and influence of fire sprinkler contractors on the Hill and at state legislations.
“I have always utilized the benefits of being an AFSA member, so when the opportunity arose to be a part of Capitol Hill Day, I jumped at the chance,” recalls Jeff Bridges, JB Fire Protection Inc of Lake Forest, California. “Being able to meet with Representatives from California and plant the seeds of change on issues that affect apprenticeship and small businesses was a priceless experience. I look forward to future opportunities at the state and/or national level.”
While there were some attendees who had lobbied before, for many it was their first time to meet with their federal representatives. Walking the halls of Congress and having the opportunity to make their own voices heard was an experience like no other.
“We look forward to further developing and advocating the AFSA’s policy agenda and remain encouraged by the conversations on Capitol Hill about issues critical to fire sprinkler contractors,” states Kevin Korenthal, AFSA manager of chapter relations. “The pro-merit shop voice that AFSA provides is critical to the continued success and stability of our nation’s commerce and fire safety.”
AFSA hopes to hold another fly-in, so watch for upcoming announcements. Your participation in lobbying for the fire sprinkler industry can make an incredible difference. To learn more visit firesprinkler.org. |
Benefits of a Learning-Based Culture
Learning.
Effective leadership development is experience-driven. Experience is gained when education is put into practice. Fostering an organizational learning-based culture will engage team members, increase employee satisfaction, and boost productivity.
Creating a learning culture that is experience-based does not need to be costly. Utilizing the existing knowledge base within the organization is the simplest and most cost effective way to bring effective learning into the office. It also allows for cross-education to occur. Cross-education is critical at senior levels, but can be equally beneficial to productivity at all levels within an organization.
Cross-training has many advantages. One of the best advantages is the ability to shift employee roles in times of expansion, vacancies, or for a specific project. Cross-education is great for roadmap for learning. Allow that learning to occur while working on the assignment. Pairing up employees from different departments for learning increases accountability. It also helps foster working relationships between colleagues.
Conferences and classroom learning still have merit and are especially effective if shared with the organization as a whole. Whenever an employee or department attends a professional development event outside of the office, have them lead a seminar on the content of that event when they return. Organizations can also bring the classroom learning right to the office. The concepts can then be implemented in real time.
The key to any learning culture is to embrace different learning styles. Some. |

Windcheater…..?
Windcheater? Who me? 🍒 picking again? Not taking the rough with the smooth, eh? I have to be careful here…..in the cycling world, there’s something called a ‘sense of honour’. Hard to define it exactly, but as in the world of yoga every posture has a ‘contra-posture’, so in the world of cycling….every downhill has an uphill, and every tailwind should have a headwind……life on the bike can’t be permanently downhill with the wind behind you. If opposites didn’t exist, the world would lack equilibrium. So today, I’ve done my little bit to unbalance the world……
You see, I thought I could use a bit of prestidigitation (let’s call it magic) and conjure up a whole day’s ride to have the wind behind me all the way. Dishonourable, I know….and I deserve all the scorn that more compliant roadies might vent……but I may have been caught on the cameras of some road surveillance system watching out for cycling cheats like me. Well, I’ll just have to sit it out now and wait for a potential ‘slap on the wrist’ from a Dixon-of-Dock-Green type bobby who may call at the door at any time. D’you think I care……?
I took a 10km ride to a nearby town to climb on a bus, enjoyed a free 2 hour ride to Buckingham (the joys of the bus pass….😊) and then caught the wind in my sails and headed in a north easterly direction. I’d like to say it was plain sailing all the way, but it never is…..
Yes, I chose my spot to have an instant puncture, when the air just exploded out of my tyre, and was completely flat before I could stop. Beside a noisy road, and with 30-40mph winds, it was well nigh impossible to locate the blow-out, and then I couldn’t find the cause. It’s always a bit nervy when you put a fresh tube in the tyre without knowing what caused the puncture, but I did…..but that wasn’t the end of the story. When I had finished inflating the new tube, as I tightened the valve, the pin broke….hey ho……but the tyre kept its pressure, so I continued my journey with all fingers and toes crossed.
However, should I feel guilty about such brazen 🍒 picking? Would you?

oh yes I use my bus pass but I take my dahon folder with me. How do you get a full size road bike on the bus
…in the luggage hold (it’s a coach, really). No hesitation from the driver, but I suspect ordinary luggage would always take precedence.
yes up here they are just ordinary buses so I take the dahon onboard. I go early though to avoid the peak times. We pay 30p before 9.30am but I know in other areas eg Northumberland its full fare. I got caught out on that one. I have also taken my camping trailer as well so that set up works well.
….yes, we too pay full fare before 9.30. But the bus I caught is technically inter-city (Cambridge to Oxford), but also serves as a local service for intervening stops.
that’s interesting t know Frank. From the Boro its easy to go north to Newcastle and beyond but getting south isnt the same. There are no local services down to York so its either book a bus but no bike allowed it travel by train. I find it quite baffling
Oh, I’d do that in a second if we had ready transportation like that!
Ah, great, I have a fellow clubmate….😁
👍
That was me yesterday as I finished swimming in Kim high street off for 2nd breakfast!
Ha! However, you can’t technically have a 2nd breakfast (break your fast twice)……perhaps a recovery snack then?
7 mile run to Kimbolton and an hour swimming – I need more than a recover snack! A full English in Olivers will do very nicely….
¡Caramba! You deserved it then….
hope it had double of everything…. |

Moooove over Friday Night Boredom…It’s Quiz Time
Just because we're all stuck indoors for the foreseeable future, doesn't mean that we don't still need a good laugh; and as always, the team at The Comedy Cow have just the solution. With their usual venues closed due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the Comedy Cow have found a new place to host brilliant nights of entertainment… online!
This Friday they are launching their very first online event, The Comedy Cow Pub Quiz, which goes live in your living room from 20:00, and you can play along for free.
Despite only floating the idea at the weekend, within 48 hours, they had thousands of people keen to join in. Unfazed by the the challenges this created, the quick thinking team spotted the opportunity to do something good and raise some funds for charity. They have launched a crowdfunding page to go alongside the quiz and the winners get to decide where the cash will go!
Everyone who wants to play along at home can join in via Facebook Live and will be able to watch the quiz, hosted by James Redmond, who is better known from his roles in Hollyoaks and Casualty, and enter their answers through the online platform they have set up.
But that's not all… a selected few lucky Comedy Cow fans will also be able to play live on screen and will be chatting with James and joining in the fun and games, alongside some well known faces from the comedy world.
There will be two overall winners, one from Facebook and one from Comedy Cow Live. Each will decide on which charity will benefit from a 50/50 split of the crowdfunded cash!
Ben Robinson, owner of the Comedy Cow said "We are doing this really just for a bit of fun. Things are extremely tough for everyone at the moment and we just want everyone to join in and have a good time. Nobody should be taking the quiz (or themselves) too seriously"
Details of how to enter the quiz are on the Comedy Cow's Facebook page:

Pastoral and Laity Ministries (PaLM). PaLM is launching another season of monthly ENGAGE Speaker Series for the Laity serving Asian American churches. The past seasons we had topics on developing Asian American youth ministry, as well as, Asian American Church leadership. This Spring we are presenting a series to equip the Asian American church to think about social justice and community engagement. Last month we had over 70 people come out to hear Director of Restore NYC discuss the ministry outreaching to sex trafficked workers. Please forward this to your fellowship group leaders, lay leaders or pastors who might be interested in attending. Our next ENGAGE Speaker Series announcement is below:Tuesday, March 18,2008, 7-9pm
@ Oversea Chinese Mission (OCM) church in Chinatown154 Hester St. on the corner of Elizabeth St.To RSVP, contact Peter Ong at [email protected]:Pastoral and Laity Ministries (PaLM) is excited to announce our Spring 2008 Season of ENGAGE Speaker Series to provide training and networking opportunities to Asian American Church Ying Chan, Founder of bread & water, who will share about global poverty and how we can respond as a Christian community. Here is the blurb for her talk:1 in 2 people in the world live on less than $2 a day, and you and of staggering disparity, where the amount you or I can spend on a nice dinner is what another person earns for a few months of manual labor. How do we live as Christians in a world of hunger? What can an ordinary person do? Bread&Water was founded in pursuit of these answers. This seminar will relate the mission and story of Bread&Water and explore how young NYC professionals are knitting together faith, calling and vocation in partnership for social justice. Discover opportunities for your church to become deeply and impactfully engaged in global missions through Bread&Water.
Ying Chan is the founder of Bread&Water, an all-volunteer nonprofit that engages young NYC professionals with grassroots poverty relief missions in the third world. Outside of Bread&Water, Ying runs Figure 8, a maternity clothing business, with her husband Min. They have a one and a half year old daughter, Kaelin.I look forward to seeing you there. If there are any questions please feel free to call me at 212-202-3264 or email me at [email protected]. |
UPDATE 6/2/2014: Nestle Purina and Waggin’ Train have agreed to settle three class action lawsuits alleging their jerky treats made in China have caused pets to get sick and/or die. The companies have agreed to create a $6.5 million settlement fund to compensate Class Members who believe their pets were harmed by the jerky treats. Click here for more information:.
UPDATE 2: Instructions on how to file a claim for the Waggin’ Tails, Canyon Creek Ranch dog treat settlement are now available! Click here or visit for details.
A class action lawsuit claims Chinese-made treats sold by Del Monte subsidiary Milo’s Kitchen kill dogs and make them sick.
The Milo’s Kitchen class action lawsuit was filed by dog-owner Lisa Mazur, who says her healthy 7-year-old dog, Riley Rae, suffered kidney failure and had to be euthanized after being fed Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky Dog Treats. Mazur claims the only change in Riley Rae’s diet was during January 2012 when she fed the Chicken Jerky Dog Treats to her dog “on occasion.” On February 1, Riley Ray became ill and was taken to the vet, where she was diagnosed with kidney failure. Riley Rae was administered intravenous fluids for four days without improvement, forcing Mazur to euthanize her on February 5.
Mazur says she was unaware the Milo’s Kitchen chicken jerky dog treats made in China were included in a November 18, 2011 warning about dog illnesses associated with chicken jerky dog treats made in China.
“Defendants’ packaging did not warn of any dangers from feeding its content to dogs… [and] the warning is downplayed” on the Milo’s Kitchen website, the class action lawsuit says.
“Defendants knew that there was a substantial risk of death or harm associated with their dog treats. No reasonable person would feed dog treats to their dogs knowing that there was a substantial risk of death or illness from doing so,” the Milo’s Kitchen class action lawsuit continues. “Plaintiff, and other consumers, did not learn of the FDA warning, until after their dogs had consumed the treated and either became ill or passed away.
“Defendants intentionally concealed known facts concerning the safety of their dog treats in order to increase or maintain sales.”
This is not the first dog treat manufacturer to be hit with a class action lawsuit by a pet owner whose dog died after eating Chinese-made chicken jerky dog treats. A grieving pet owner filed a $5 million class action lawsuit against the makers of Waggin’ Train “Yam Good” dog treats in April 2012 after his 9-year-old Pomeranian became sick and died of kidney failure 11 days after eating the treats.
Mazur is seeking compensatory damages and punitive damages for a proposed class of all persons in the U.S. (except Louisiana and Puerto Rico) who purchased any dog treat product containing chicken jerky manufactured or sold by Del Monte or Milo’s Kitchen and containing chicken imported from China, within the past four years. She is alleging common law fraud, unjust enrichment, negligence, product liability, unfair trade, breach of warranty, failure to warn and defective manufacture or design.
A copy of the Milo’s Kitchen Chinese-Made “Chicken Jerky Dog Treats” Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.
The case is Lisa Mazur v. Milo’s Kitchen, LLC; Del Monte Corp., et al., Case No. 12-cv-01011, U.S. District Court, Western District of Pennsylvania.<<

This is the first in a three-part series highlighting the best apps for student performance travel. Read part two and part three.
Mobile apps for your smartphone or tablet can be extremely useful both for planning and executing a trip. Here are the top 6 apps to help with these tasks, both before and during a trip.
WordPress
One of the easiest ways to communicate with your group is though a blog, where you can quickly and easily post news and updates about your student performance trip, without the need for frequent paper handouts in class. Parents and students can easily be informed about initial trip options, payment deadlines, pre-trip meetings, and itinerary changes or updates. We recommend using WordPress, just like we do. WordPress powers an amazing 23% of the internet. You can add and edit blog posts from a computer, or from their mobile app while on the go. A free account should be more than enough to keep both your students and parents informed about your upcoming travels.
Google Calendar
Assuming a majority of your students and parents have Google accounts (which is fairly likely), consider setting up a Google calendar to share amongst the group. You can include pre trip deadlines (such as payment dates) and the trip itinerary. Best of all, students can easily sync the calendar to their smartphone and receive notifications for payment deadlines and trip events. They also don’t need to worry about losing the printed itinerary while on the trip.
GroupMe
Having the ability to reach your students while they are enjoying an amusement park or new city can make keeping track of your group and, sending them updates, much easier. GroupMe (built by the experts at Skype) allows you to send one message and reach everyone in your group. Participants can receive the messages through the smartphone app, or via standard text message on non-smartphones, ensuring that all of your students can stay in the loop. (See our previous post from more tips on keeping track of your group.)
GoodReader
Eliminate the need to bring stacks of paper with you on your student performance trip. The GoodReader app allows you to take PDF documents with you on your phone or tablet, creating a central location to keep copies of medical information, health insurance cards, passports, and other important forms and documents. You can easily share all of the files with chaperones in the group so that everyone has the necessary forms and papers, no matter where they may be. The app also syncs with other programs like DropBox (so you can easily add new documents and keep them up to date), and allows you to mark up or add notes to a PDF from your device.
ForScore
Worried that someone will leave their sheet music in the hotel, on the bus, or back at home? ForScore can come to the rescue. This handy app for iPad allows you to store all of your sheet music in one place. All you have to do is set it on the music stand and swipe to change pages. You can even use an iPad instead of a heavy conductor’s score, cutting down on the amount of paper you need to carry around the world.
Band
Looking for one app that can take care of everything? Look no further than Band. This app combines a group calendar, photo and file sharing, a group discussion board, and group messaging all in one. An additional feature is group polling, allowing you to quickly and easily collect details such as T-Shirt sizes or food preferences. Furthermore, it is available for iOS, Android, and in a web browser, so all of your students have the ability to access it. Best of all, it’s completely free!
Utilizing these apps is one way to make the communication and planning of your trip more seamless. Read our second and third installments in this series, which look at apps that are useful while on an international tour and a domestic tour. Be sure to share any similar apps you have used on our Facebook and Twitter pages as well. When you are ready to book your group’s performance tour, contact us to get started!

It joins the blood flow, thus reaching all the cells and muscles in your organism, ready to let glucose inand help to maintain the vital organs. The glucose that has been stored as glycogen helps to fuel the muscles. A glycogen storage area called the liver produces insulin, which in turn converts the glucose that finds its way into the bloodstream into acetoacetate, a gas that helps to supply energy for the body's major muscle groups. If you don't eat enough carbohydrate each day in order to keep your blood sugar level under control, then ketosis gets your attention, deca joins lyrics pinyin. If you want to keep your blood sugar levels normal, then you're going to have to get into ketosis in order to maintain your blood sugars in this range. This means you'll have to eat a lot of carbohydrate in order to store that carbohydrate so that it can be metabolized. What Are Your Stocks of Carbohydrate, deca joins lyrics pinyin? Forget about a low carb diet or a low fat diet as a long-term goal. Unless you eat a lot of carbohydrates and you eat them in very small amounts – usually 3 to 5 grams or less each day – then your body is going to store those carbohydrates, in your liver and muscle tissue, in your glycogen, meaning the excess you can use as fuel for fuel-sensitive processes, like muscle and liver, deca joins lyrics pinyin. Your body is going to have a surplus of glycogen and it's going to use that glycogen as fuel for the body. It's going to turn it into fats – mainly in the form of triglyceride – when it needs energy, deca joins vinyl. The amount of energy you give to your body through food isn't going to be quite as large, deca joins b1. This difference is called the Glycemic Index, or GI, deca joins wave lyrics. Some people have a GI of 100. Some people have a GI of 20, deca joins tour. That's about the average GI for the average American diet today, deca joins wave lyrics. We have to be careful about what we eat, deca joins live. We need to not eat too many carbs or the body will go into emergency mode which means glucose will be stored in your muscles and liver and you're going to die. But not as many carbs as you would like, joins tour deca. Not too much, though. There's no good reason not to eat more carbohydrates than you are used to if you want to maintain your blood sugar level. That's a general statement. One GI means that for most people your blood sugar levels will stay within a range that is normal, deca joins lyrics pinyin0. The GI doesn't really matter on its own.

Anadrol 50 (oxymetholone) is a potent anabolic steroid developed by Syntex in 1960 and is the only anabolic steroid approved by the FDA as part of therapeutic treatment of anemias (lowered RBC)and anorexia nervosa (increased appetite) caused by a genetic deficiency in insulin production[20][10] with an effect being dose dependent. The most selective metabolite is anandamide (aka theanine). A 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde isomer can be synthesized in vivo in rats by using 3% anisogenetic amine and 20% dimerization to a 3,4-methylbenzimidazole derivative.[21] Injections or intramuscular injections of an anabolic steroid with no significant risk of adverse effects (relative to placebo or inactive control) is considered safe and effective, and appears to increase strength and strength training performance in some sports.[11][11][22][23] Anabolic steroids are not known to increase insulin secretion nor serum glucose concentration at normal concentration as a result of their mechanism of action being an increase of muscle mass, and this is thought to result from the conversion of andandolone to 4-hydroxy-β-hydroxy-4-androstadien-3-one,[22][24][25] which is thought to be responsible for inducing muscle growth, with no detectable adverse effects associated with these effects; this is also thought to be a mechanism of action for the other steroids in the steroid class, with an enhanced amount of anandamide produced during exercise (despite an inhibition) Analgesics An anabolic steroid may exert some muscle growth properties when orally ingested alongside food, but the potency and long-term usage must be assessed carefully.[26][27] Due to the short half-life of anandamide (the anabolic effect of which lasts only 3.5 hours), supplementation of an anabolic steroid with food appears to be capable of increasing muscle size after about two days of use.[25] Studies using oral anabolic androgenic steroids at doses of 10 mg/kg have shown increased muscle mass by up to 50% at three months. This effect is comparable to a dose of 20 g/kg protein A few studies have used doses of 10mg/kg bodyweight (2.1g) or larger injections (1,100mg, 1,400mg, 2,500mg) over a 24 hour period (which also includes a placebo[28][29][31][32][33][34] or aspartame [35] or 2-fluoro-5-meth Related Article:

Four States
Today we woke up in Kentucky, visited family in Tennessee, drove through Georgia, and stopped in Birmingham, Alabama. We enjoyed seeing Aunt Pat and Uncle Glenn, even though we were only able to stay a few hours. They truly are the sweetest people. Aunt Pat had recently undergone surgery on both feet and still welcomed us into her home. Uncle Glenn told several great stories and kept us all laughing.
It was nearly 9:30 before we got to a hotel and managed to get the girls to bed. Tomorrow we should only have about 5 hours in the car before we reach the beach. One of the seatbelts broke this afternoon and we ended up shifting positions so that all the kids were belted in. I'm dreading getting in the car again, but the thought of sleeping at the same place for a week without having to live out of a suitcase is quite appealing.
This photo was taken a few miles down the road from Aunt Pat and Uncle Glenn's house.

Great to see you got to visit some family. Cute pics of the kids. I love the matching outfit and bows. Hope they enjoy the beach!
Great photos! Glad you had a good visit with Aunt Pat & Uncle Glenn. Always good to reach your destination and be able to relax for a week! Enjoy every day!
In Christian Love,
Grandma & Grandpa
Pretty country side photo...you drove through Georgia...I waved as you drove by, "did you see me?" LOL |
The 19th World Men’s Junior Water Polo Championships Belgrade 2017 gave us tons of incredible plays and goals up to today’s semi finals. Water polo can rest easy after seeing the raw talent that countries across the globe have to offer for the future. Today’s semi finals were no exception: Hungary met Croatia in the first Semi Finals, while Serbia played Greece in the second game. Fun fact – the same four national teams were able to reach the semi finals during this years spectacular Water polo World Championships in Budapest two weeks ago, only the pairings were switched.
The first match up left us in awe as we were able to see the rejuvenated rematch of the Water Polo World Championship Finals. The Hungarian selection met the Croatian youngsters in a heated and evenly matched duel. Both defenses were rock solid and didn’t permit many goals, especially the goalkeepers brought their A-game and denied the incredible shooters their success. The Croatians were able to pierce the hungarian defense with two power plays towards the end and celebrate a two goal victory (6:4).
Croatia’s Head Coach Nikica Gulin commented after the game:“We had a good start, then a nervous middle section from both sides but at the end we were able to adjust our defense and execute our power plays. Today’s key was our strong defense. We knew if we dont allow the hungarians more than 5-6 goals we are winning tonight’s match.”
Duje Pejkovic, Croatia’s left forward, had the following to say after the exhausting match:“The Hungarians are always a strong and unpleasent opponent. I believe we justified our role as a tournament favourite tonight, which we definetly are. We played a strong tournament up untill now and were able to continue our perfomance tonight. They were not able to pierce our solid defense. The hungarians have a quality line-up, but we were a little better tonight. A new match is awaiting us tomorrow, and hopefully, so is a new victory.”
In the second game Greece played Serbia and managed to defeat this year’s hosts with a close 9:8 victory. Greece showed up with little fear for the favourised hosts and got the advantage early on. Serbia continuously tried to catch up, but the greece defense together with their goalie managed to endure all their attacks.
Iordanis Masmanidis, Greece’s Number 11, commented after the game: “We expected it to be tough, we expected it to be rough. We were ready for this game since I dont know when. We have been waiting for this for the past year and we have been wanting to play. It was magnificent to be back and I am really glad to have been able to play this game.”
Upon asking about tomorrows final against Croatia he commented: “Tomorrow is a different game and now we have to relax a little bit, we have to stay calm and have to follow what our coach says. It’s a different game and we have to discuss it tonight.”
Theodors Lorantos, Greece’s head coach, had the following to say: “We were prepared for this, we are ready for these close games. This is a crucial moment. We showed character in our game, for us it’s a big celebration until now. It’s always hard to play outside. Congratulations to Serbia and also to my players.“His comment for tomorrows chance against Croatia, with the crowd on their side, was: “We came prepared to play against any crowd. That is our phsychological mentality which we have been working on for more than two months. When you play away from home and if you want to win the championship, you have to be able to play against any crowd.”
After such intense semi finals we can’t wait to see what tomorrows finals have in store for us – make sure to tune in and follow up on everything inside and outside the pool of Belgrade 2017. |
Myspace's China office cut about 30 employees last month and saw its CEO depart, a sign that the U.S.-based social networking service may be pulling back from the country's Internet. But it has only become minor player in the country's Internet scene, according to analysts.
Myspace has also been reportedly preparing to downsize its total staff of 1,100 employees by 50 per cent. The site has been overtaken by Facebook in terms of numbers of users in the U.S. and globally. In October, the company launched a new version of the site in a bid to attract more users.
China is one of the world's largest Internet markets, with web users reaching 450 million, according to an official count. Almost half of those visit social networking sites, with the number of users estimated to hit 216 million for 2010, an increase from 176 million the year before, says a report from Beijing-based research firm Analysys International.
Because Myspace China focused on attracting music fans, the site has a smaller user base when compared to larger Chinese social networking sites, said Dong Xu, an analyst with Analysys International. But even among music sites, Myspace China has yet to make enough breakthroughs in tapping user potential, she said.
"It wasn't able to meet the demands of many music users, and it didn't have the products to attract them," Dong said.
Myspace's struggles in China follow in the footsteps of other popular U.S.-based websites that have faced obstacles cementing a following in the country. Facebook and Twitter are both blocked in the country, while Google has lost market share to China's dominant search engine Baidu.
"It's not a real player, never was," said Duncan Clark, chairman of Beijing-based technology consultancy BDA. Myspace's arrival in the country had arrived with much hype, but by then other social networking sites were already scaling up, he said.
Myspace "spent so much time getting shareholders, hiring the people, but they sort of focused on the setup," Clark said. "They didn’t focus on the market." |
Searching out Good Eats in South Beach
Filed under [ Restaurants and Travel ]
Over the last decade, I’ve been charmed enough to get to South Beach a number of times. I immediately fell in love with its energy, sophistication, and excellent food. Its rough-around-the-edges, international flavor appealled to me. I later became smitten with the extra-dirty martini, which I first tried in the sleek retro-40’s National Hotel bar. [...] |

Last year saw some incredible performances, complete with actual moshing, and a storm of water bottles. That the liquid was clear shows how much the crowd appreciated the awesome talent on display, and it’s hoped that this year’s acts will take things to a whole new level.
Each night’s best performer – as voted for by the crowd – will pick up a brand new Epiphone Les Paul courtesy of our friends at Epiphone, and the enduring respect of the rockiest festival in the world.
Individuals or double acts can perform on stage, using the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II and its the game’s distinctive X-Plorer controllers. Performers will be able to pick from Guitar Hero II’s 40 licensed songs along with the track packs which have been made available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
“Donington Park has been home to some of the greatest rock performances of all time, and we’re delighted to be able to offer Guitar Hero players the greatest stage of them all at Download 2007,” says Simon Byron, organiser, Guitar Hero at Download. “Guitar Hero has always been about becoming a rock star – those attending Download Festival have the opportunity to take that to another level and perform in front of up to 3,000 fans.”
Limited spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis – email: [email protected]. Alternatively, head to the Third Stage on the night and we’ll do our best to get you up and rocking.

Sadly, LCR records is one of those labels for which it is easier to illegally download tracks from, than find infos. This spanish label (a subsidiary of Little Green Men) has developed a strict visual consistency based on colored geometric shapes. This minimal techno album from Colissea is the latest example of it.
It also echoes the style of the logotype of the label, as shown below.

De-cluttering and organising your kitchen
We would like to thank Saskia Wild from Simply Sorted for this fantastic article on how to keep your kitchen organised and de-cluttered. Below this article, all her contact details and services are listed.
For many families, the kitchen is seen as the heart of the home. It’s where family and community life happens. In this space, hearty meals are prepared, art is created, calls are made, ideas are shared, and it’s where family fun and catch ups are the order of the day.
Here are some tips to help you create a functional and organised space in your home.
De-cluttering
- Ensure that you kitchen is clean before you start de-cluttering.
- Gather your tools – cleaning materials, black bags for rubbish, boxes labelled: “recycle”, “another room” for items that belong in another part of the house, “donate”, “sell”.
- Start de-cluttering from one corner of the kitchen and work clockwise.
- If you feel overwhelmed by the idea of tackling the whole kitchen, set a timer and de-clutter in 15-20 minute sessions.
- Tackle one shelf, drawer or cabinet at a time. This will keep you focussed and will help you from becoming overwhelmed.
- Take everything out of that space and put it on the kitchen counter.
- Make a decision about each item that you pick up. If it is to stay in the kitchen, place like items together. If the item should go into another part of the house, put it in the “another room” box. If it is to be sold, donated or recycled put it in the relevant box. Rubbish goes into the black bag. Throw away any food that has passed its use by date.
- Group items into categories that are logical: Food – pasta with rice and legumes; snacks and treats, herbs and spices with vinegars and oils; dairy, fruit and vegetables. Utensils: food preparation utensils ( chopping knives together, chopping boards, measuring cups and spoons); baking utensils (muffin tins with cake tins and cookie cutters with cake icing equipment); cooking utensils (wooden spoons, ladles and whisks together; pots and pans together). Crockery and cutlery: cereal bowls, dinner plates and side plates together; knives, forks, tea-spoons and tablespoons together.
Organise
- When the area has been de-cluttered, then clean it and organise it in a way that makes sense to you.
- Place heavy items or appliances that are less frequently used, in lower cupboards. Lighter items and items that are used regularly, can be kept in higher cupboards or shelves.
- Eye-level storage or shelves are practical for food stuffs that are used most often (cereals, canned foods, snacks). Bear in mind which food items your children need to be able to reach.
- Place items where you use them. Pots, pans and baking tins close to the oven and stove; spices and cooking utensils near the stove and oven; knives near the cutting boards, mugs and tea/coffee close to the kettle; dishes and cutlery near the dishwasher. Cleaning equipment and material under the sink.
Action the “Put Away”, “Recycle”, “Sell” and “Donate” boxes
- You have completed the cycle of de-cluttering and organising when you action these boxes.
- Place the items in the “Put Away” box in their rightful space in your home.
- Place the “Recycling” box in your car to take to the recycling depot.
- Decide how you are going to sell items in the “Sell” box and to whom you are going to give items in the “Donate”.
Reflect and Reward Yourself
- Once you have finished de-cluttering and organising, take a step back and have a look at what you have achieved.
- Assess how you feel about your newly organised space. Do you feel a sense of achievement or relief? Do you feel a sense of liberty and freedom? Do you feel that this process will save you time, money and emotional energy?
- Reflect on what you have learned in the process and the rewards of being organised. Have you realised that it is ok to let go of your stuff and that it is ok to live with less? Are you looking forward to spending more time with your family and friends in your home? Are you looking forward to being more productive in your organised space?
- Reward yourself for the time and effort taken to organise this space. It could be something as simple as sitting down with a cup of tea and your book or treating yourself and a friend to a coffee at your favourite coffee shop, going to a movie or the theatre, going for a picnic or starting a hobby that you never had time for. This will inspire you to get ready for your next organising project.
Making Decisions
- If you have not used the item at all, give it away or sell it.
- If you have only used it once in the year, give it away or sell it. The exception here is if it is an item that you use seasonally – items like slow-cookers for winter stews and Christmas cookie cutters etc.
- Toss if it’s broken or chipped.
- If you have duplicate sets of items, choose the best of them and get rid of the rest.
- Toss pots and pans that have no handles burn marks or are rusty.
- Toss items that you don’t like and have never used. This included gifts given to you.
- Only keep items that you use and love.

Let’s just get all the nutball stuff out of the way, first. Grant Fraysier had Steve Morris Engines build him a 10-liter (that’s 615 cid) big block Chevy V8 with a big ol’ ProCharger blower, ingesting methanol and spitting back roughly 3,000 hp on the highest boost setting.
Steve Morris filled the engine with aftermarket bits, and it’s running a dry sump oiling system, Holley EFI, coil-on-plug ignition, and SME’s own ancillaries.
And here’s what it can do, when installed in a (heavily modified) Hummer H1, at a sand-drag strip no less.

There’s no timing, but you don’t need a stopwatch to realize that’s one quick Hummer.
Here’s the shop to explain the build:

Day 532 - Animal support
Animal support. I truly enjoy animals and the physical support they are, but sometimes I do not show this appreciation or enjoyment towards the animals in my reality. This usually happens when I am in a rush and in my mind. I will find that if I am in my mind my experience with and towards animals are that of ' they are in my way' and just annoying me. Yet it is all an experience that is only within me. With this white cat here I noticed this relationship I have created within myself towards animals. As she keeps on walking over my laptop or sleeping on my office chair or while making calls suddenly be all over me and in my mind I will see this as annoying and time wasting and the cat must stop. But she was consistent and through this I started instead embracing these moments and getting out of my mind. It became the opposite of what I experienced before and in fact it actually supported me in releasing stress from working which made work better and more fluent. This became a daily routine now where she would wait for me or come running once I was there. Thank you Animals for your unconditional physical support and showing us what is real and facing our human conditioned nature of the mind as our illusion of reality.
Day 531 - My Son is my example
my son is my example. He is so amazing in giving his everything in all the things he do. The way he focus the way he is here completely present with the task at hand. Something as simple as him sitting by himself independently away from me by his own table. Climbing on and off and sitting as I do. I am not allowed to help yet I must be available. He tests this out over and over. Where "I", sit down.... without EVER!! considering how I got to sit at a table. But this is just one instance. While I might be thinking and wondering in the mind, my son is showing me that only through real time physical application and testing can development happen. And to be consistent till there is a result that is best and stick with it.
Day 530 - Logical thinking and reasoning
Logical thinking and reasoning from knowledge and information as being smart is exactly what trapped us humans in this destruction path in Life. Just look at any form of abuse or addiction in this world. It is kept alive with logic and reason based on knowledge and information. A person that abuses a family member at home uses logic and reason in their mind to why they do what they do. Look at porn addicts, they want to stop but logic and reason pulls them back and stopping seems impossible. We can literally use logical thinking and reasoning in any situation in this world and justify it as right. No where is there common sense and self honesty. Take a look at yourself. How you have so much knowledge and information to use as logical thinking and reasoning to justify why you aren't stopping and creating a better world for all life
Day 529 - fear is an interesting emotion
fear is an interesting emotion. It is almost a consistent feeling we anticipate/expect within our realities. For example when a snake comes along people freak out, as if the response was already there in a fear just lashing out and screaming and wanting to harm and kill in Fear of what the person fear can maybe happen. I have observed fear in slow motion, specifically with a snake and me handling a wild snake. The fear isn't my own as I can see it come from a pre response that I integrated from my parents and others when I was young, yet I accepted the fear as my own. You should see how a snake respond to people who has fear. The more fear the more the snake becomes aggressive and actually only then put everyone in danger. Blaming the snake. Meantime our fear creates what we fear and it isn't even our fear. We were taught the fear. If we react about or towards something with fear then we can know that we have been living in fear the whole time. That something is just revealing what we exist as
Day 528 - We live in a system that is out of service
We live in a system that is out of service. It isn't serving us. In fact we are serving the system even when it cons us into believing it is here to serve us. For example a Bank. I work all month for the end result to receive money. My money goes into a bank where it is kept save. Yet the bank steals little by little of my money every time I want to use some, besides already paying monthly banking fees. And in the other hand even if I do not want a bank account the system is forcing me to have one. All I am saying is take a moment to consider what service means and see how the system manipulates and cons everyone to pay for something that claims to serve us. Without money you are fucked by this system. Yet we all seem.to be okay with the idea that if you have no money you are fucked. No service
Day 527 - Living inside of oneself
Living inside of oneself all the time, holding the past against self in the hope/fear that by not letting go of the past the future might look different, only to have the past with you in each moment to create the past over and over. To keep assessing and to keep fearing the past only creates a resentful mind and thus a angry way of living. This anger does not show as we expect. It rather turns into other expressions such as not caring, depression, spite, nastiness, name it. As anger is a creation of feeling powerless. In this instance keeping the past as your thoughts/feeling/emotions with you everyday only creating the past again everyday. We do become first powerless than angry and then we either change or we submit to our own creation of self defeat
Day 526 - Walk the talk.
Walk the talk. It is easy to talk and to say things and make things sound right and good and to use words on and on, but what is the meaning of the words that I speak if I am not applying and living them for real for myself first. This is the case that I found with me and my son. I must live what I speak. Not in terms of making promises and keeping them. Promises are always a lie. I am talking about what is Here in each moment and living what I stand for. Being an example. And the speaking comes later that I add to my actions. So that there is no bias. This also helps me to always check and make sure that I am living and breathing in each moment as my son takes it all in. Even if I just sit and do nothing. Its a matter of who I am within it. I realized I must be an example to myself first and not do it just for my son as that will still be a bias and not sustainable to real change
Day 525 - What I enjoy doing versus what I have to do
What I enjoy versus what I have to do. Or let me change that to taking what I have to do and taking what I enjoy doing and creating a supportive way for me to always enjoy myself in what ever I do. Thus who I am in what I do becomes the enjoyment. See we have it backwards - we do things that we enjoy because they bring joy as an experience inside ourselves which is nice and comfortable. So if it is about how we initially experience ourselves within what we do then we can realize that our experiences are our own and we can thus decide our experiences in what ever we do. If we allow ourselves to let go of the judgements and ideas/beliefs/opinions inside of our minds that we recieved and accepted and allowed from others to become our thinking about everything. But this does not mean accepting and allowing any abuse or harm for self or another. That is a physical experience that needs to be addressed with others or seeking help support. I went from doing what I enjoy most as working outside building and being in nature to doing office work and being indoors and driving all the time as I needed to. So here I decided to change who I am withon it all to make it an expression of myself instead of a limitation.
Day 524 - Solitary confinement
Solitary confinement has been seen as a method of apparently teaching someone something. May it be with prisoners or with mental institutes or children. I remember as a child being send to sit in the corner of the class room for speaking out of tern and thus missing the rest of the class room tome. Or by my parents being send to my room for being 'bad' - yet all I learned was that adults are stupid and I still do not understand their reasoning. So how was I to prevent in the future or at least understand to know my responsibility. As l only created more mental issues. And this kind of 'punishment' is actually a reflection of how we deal and live in our own prisons inside of ourselfs called the mind. And how we deal with ourselves inside of ourselves. Keeping everything in and punishing ourselves for the things inside of ourselves as thoughts feelings and emotions. Never rather pushing to expose and talk and gain perspective and understanding and supporting ourselves or others. its a matter of doing onto another as you would like to be done onto. Solitary confinement used as punishment is a reflection of how we are doing onto ourselves. We must change.
Day 523 - Thinking versus doing
It seems that most of my life has been happening in my mind. I am always thinking about my potential and living it, I can see what I must do and live to achieve this utmost potential. But the thought of I am not ready yet always seem to catch me when I am unaware so I postpone the living till tomorrow. But this just becomes habitual and always end up in thought. Which in the future leads to me creating a relationship with myself of "I am a fuck up" a loser, I cant trust myself, I am worthless and useless. These believes aren't necessarily spoken or being thought of. They are more so implied in the act of postponing and not living my utmost potential. The further consequences of these actions are now me leading into destructive behavior. The opposite. Which leads to cool realization. Which is that the initial thoughts I had/ have of living my utmost potential were based on a polarity construct of positive and negative and so ot is for me to stop ALL thoughts and to forgive myself to participate in thoughts no matter how positive or negative they are and to instead focus on what is here as my practical living in each breath which is the utmost potential of me here.
Day 522 - Sadness
Sadness -I have grown up as most of us, to always live and show happiness and never to expose the sadness. As soon as sadness is shown or expressed people try and make you happy. Because sadness has been judged as wrong as bad as negative, thus it is feared to be and show sadness, you will become a party pooper or make others feel uncomfortable. So I learned to pretend. I became an expert at pretending to be just happiness. But the truth behind the smiles is this face. Because this face expresses Life on earth currently. While we party and be happy and keep pretending for the same of others, our lives are sad. We are bound to money, to be slaves to money in a system we keep alive but we here did not create it, we suffer and all life on this planet suffers for it and everything it truly sad. Yet we do not dare live this truth. But I have realized this truth, and because of this realization I am able to live in self honesty - that for real happiness, for my face to truly change - this world must change and I m7st actively take responsibility to change it and to truly create REAL happiness. Where no smile ever hides anything as we will in this new world know for a fact that all parts of LIFE is happy equally within their part of this Life. If we all can come to terms with realty and that it is sad. Perhaps then we can come together and say This is not how we would like to live life so lets fucking change it and bring true unchangeable happiness to this WORLD and all parts in it.<< |

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Cloud IT Infrastructure Forecast, total spending on IT infrastructure products (server, enterprise storage, and Ethernet switches) for deployment in cloud environments will increase by 16.2% in 2016 to $37.4 billion. Public cloud datacenters, at 18.6% annual growth, will account for the majority (62.5%) of this spending. Overall spending on IT infrastructure deployed in off-premises cloud environments (public and private) will reach $28.4 billion in 2016. In comparison, spending on enterprise IT infrastructure deployed in traditional, non-cloud, environments will decline 1.8% in 2016, but it will still account for the largest share (63.1%) of end user spending. All figures exclude double counting between server and storage.
In 2016, spending on IT infrastructure for off-premises cloud deployments is expected to see double-digit growth across all regions, indicating strong movement toward off-premises IT resources around the world. Similarly, in on-premises settings, spending on IT infrastructure for private clouds will increase in all regions while spending on non-cloud IT will decline in all but one region. Of the overall spending on IT infrastructure for cloud environments (on- and off-premises combined), spending on Ethernet switches will grow at the highest rate, 41.2%, while spending on server and storage will grow 16.3% and 4.1%, respectively.
For the long-term forecast, IDC expects that spending on IT infrastructure for cloud environments will grow at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% to $60.8 billion in 2020, or 49.7% of the total spending on enterprise IT infrastructure. Off-premises cloud environments (public and private) will account for 77.6% of this amount. Spending on public cloud IT infrastructure will grow at the fastest rate, 15% CAGR, while spending on non-cloud IT will decline at 1.8% CAGR during the same period.
"Cloud is one of the major options considered by end users as they think about optimization of their IT operations and utilization of on-site and off-site resources," said Natalya Yezhkova, research director, Storage Systems. ."

Dawn Journal | March 29, 2009
Dear Dawntpanics,
Chief Engineer, JPL
Dawn continues to coast quietly and calmly in its orbit around the Sun, keeping its main antenna pointed to faraway Earth. The mission control team has given the spacecraft relatively few assignments in recent weeks, providing time to prepare for a busier future. To ensure the distant craft remains healthy and safe, operators transmitted instructions for conducting routine maintenance, activities that are familiar to the probe now that it has been on its deep-space journey for more than 1.5 years. Perhaps what is most noteworthy and satisfying since the last log is not what Dawn did, but rather what it did not do.
At some unknown time in the past, at some unknown location in space, under specific conditions and processes we can only speculate about (albeit under the influence of physical laws that are well understood), a high energy particle embarked on its own deep-space journey. On March 21 at 1:32 am PDT, its path and Dawn's intersected. The particle penetrated the spacecraft and reached an electronics unit inside. The energy that had been given to it elsewhere in time and space was transferred then and there to a miniature electronic component in a circuit within that unit.
The circumstances of this event were very much like those that occurred on January 14, 2008. As a reminder for the reader who has not memorized the log describing that incident (you know who you are, and we do as well, but your secret remains safe under the terms of our readers privacy agreement), the chain of events led to the spacecraft entering “safe mode.”
While safe mode is the desired response to a wide range of unexpected or problematic conditions, Dawn's engineers recognized that it was not necessary when space radiation hit that particular device. They reexamined the extensive analyses that had been conducted before launch and performed new studies as well, concluding that the mission could be interrupted by more such events because of the susceptibility of the component that was hit by the radiation. It was not possible to establish with high confidence how frequently it could occur (much less to know specifically when it would occur), but the data suggested that it might happen often enough that it would hamper the mission, interfering with too many activities and ultimately consuming too much of mission controllers' limited time.
The team, therefore, formulated a change to the software in one of the spacecraft's auxiliary computers that would allow it to accommodate another radiation hit without the subsequent cascade of events culminating in safe mode. While changing the software is challenging and time consuming, the project chose to undertake the work to avoid a repeat of the incident, judging the certain cost of the change to be less expensive to Dawn's mission than the possible cost of subsequent incidents.
On July 22, 2008, the new software (along with all the instructions to patch it in) was radioed to the remote spacecraft. Since then, it has been available should a radiation strike energize the component as it had 6 months earlier.
The modified part of the software had its first use in flight with the radiation impact on March 21, when nature repeated itself. The electronics were unchanged, of course, so the circuit responded the same way it had 14 months earlier, informing the software of a problem. This time though, the software responded simply by storing a short message to transmit along with all the other spacecraft health and status information during the next scheduled contact with Earth (by coincidence, later that day). The unnecessarily dramatic activation of safe mode is no longer part of the outcome, thus allowing the robotic probe and its human support team to continue their work without interruption or distraction.
While Dawn happened to be quiescent when this radiation impact occurred, it might not have been, given the inherent unpredictability of the timing. It might not be when the next uninvited particle strikes the same component. Now, with the clear demonstration of the effectiveness of the software patch, it won't matter. Controllers were gratified to receive the message on March 21 reporting the spacecraft's nonchalant response to the radiation, validating their decision to modify the software last year.
The spacecraft will be busier in the coming weeks than it has been since it was deflected by Mars last month. The next log, already available for readers in the future [Note to those readers: please send a copy to the author in his present to save him the time of writing it], will cover some of the upcoming special activities and will recognize another milestone (if not million-milestone) on this journey of scientific discovery and adventure to distant and unexplored worlds.
Dawn is 327 million kilometers (203 million miles) from Earth, or 875 times as far as the moon and 2.19 times as far as the Sun. Radio signals, traveling at the universal limit of the speed of light, take 36 minutes to make the round trip.

A Monday morning meeting between West Hartford town officials and CL&P representatives ended in an expletive-laden shouting match as thousands of West Hartford residents remained without power on Day 10 of the aftermath of the devastating October snowstorm.
CL&P's Vice President of Operations Ken Bowes was brought in Monday for the first time to meet with West Hartford's Emergency Operations team in a closed-door meeting in the Town Manager's office. Along with liaisons Michael Haeflich and Kevin Prestage, Bowes was tasked with providing updated information about the status of West Hartford's power restoration.
"We had a very difficult conversation, with a lot of emotion at the table, especially from [Public Works Director] John Phillips who asked if CL&P's tree crews could cut other branches during their clean-up effort, not just those which are sitting on CL&P wires," Mayor Scott Slifka said.
According to Slifka, Phillips exclaimed, "We need your help to make our streets safe," and was met with the response from Bowes, "We'll take it back to corporate." Phillips believed he was asking CL&P to remove branches that were hanging on wires, without regard to which wires they were on, so that they would not create dangerous situations by falling to the ground or cut power by later falling on power lines.
Both Slifka and Town Manager Ron Van Winkle described the exchange as heated, with Phillips urging CL&P to understand, "This is an emergency, a town-wide emergency, and when it's an emergency, we all step up and help."
At the conclusion of the meeting, Slifka said that he and Van Winkle were asked if Phillips had the authority to speak for the town. According to Slifka, Bowes said, "That man committed to reimbursing CL&P for the branches we cut down."
That was the last straw for Slifka, who responded with a stream of expletives. "CL&P's response was not 'we'll do whatever we can,' it was 'we'll do it if you pay us," Slifka said later. "They are liars who care only about the bottom line."
Haeflich later called the incident a major misunderstanding and provided background information about how Phillips' comments had been misconstrued. Bowes, according to Haeflich, thought that Phillips was asking CL&P to do a full tree pruning of West Hartford, including trees that are nowhere near power lines. "As bizarre as that sounds, he apparently gets requests like that all the time," Haeflich said.
Bowes' response, once he was told what Phillips was asking for, was, "We already do that; we clean it up if it's on a wire," Haeflich said.
Van Winkle, who also spoke with Haeflich several hours after the meeting, said, "That's just another example of poor communication. We've asked them to do a sweep of the streets for several days. They weren't willing to do that before."
The potential danger presented from branches remaining on wires was a major factor in Superintendent Karen List's decision to on Tuesday, Nov. 8, for the seventh day in a row.
Slifka's anger was tempered after he also spoke with Haeflich later Monday. "The thing is that now they are going to give us what we wanted. They will make the streets safe."
However, Slifka said that this never should have been a topic that was misunderstood. "This is just symptomatic of what we have seen for the past 10 days," he said.
Slifka does not blame liaisons Haeflich and Prestage, who he says are "doing everything they can to get us information. They 'get it,' and that's why this issue got fixed."
However, Slifka cautioned that he wants to see results. "We're in the 'trust and verify' stage, but there's still no trust. We're talking about results. I don't want to waste time berating them. We shouldn't have even had to ask," he said.
"The problem is that upper management continues to be clueless. They don't appreciate the extreme toll that this has taken on the town."
When asked later if he still believed that CL&P executives are "liars who care only about the bottom line," Slifka said, "I will continue to believe that until I see a change."
At 4 p.m. Monday, CL&P's outage map still indicates 33 percent (9,384 customers) in West Hartford still without power. |

It’s time to find the best Thanksgiving deals!
The best way to save on your Thanksgiving meal is to buy your ingredients at the lowest prices possible. We have come up with a list of good prices for your Thanksgiving day ingredients. Because you should not pay more than what we have listed if you can help it.
The Savings Strategy:
- Use the Holiday Price Point Guide to make your list of ingredients for your Thanksgiving meal.
- Each week as items go on sale pick up those items at the lowest price. Before you know it you will have everything you need for Thanksgiving at a fraction of the regular store price.
- Bookmark this page and come back each week to see which Thanksgiving day ingredients are on sale and make a shopping list for your favorite stores.
Watch our video to see how we make our shopping lists:
Holiday Price Point Guide
A few things to keep in mind:
- Sometimes driving around town to get the best deal is just going to waste time and gas!
- If you do want to get the best deals, plan your shopping around other errands and daily routines. I don’t live by Walmart, but Walmart is very close to my my daughter’s gymnastics class, so I’m going to shop at Walmart while she’s in class.
- Lucky for me, I live close to Fred Meyer, Winco, and Albertsons. So given my routines and location, I am in a good position to snag the best deals from all three stores.
- Another way to save is to do a Thanksgiving Dinner potluck. Have your guests bring part of the dinner as well. Doing this ahead of time gives you time to make your shopping list and really save as items go on sale. NOW is the time to plan with your family and/or friends.
What’s hot this week?
- Albertsons IM has Free Turkey, Cheap Veggies, Cream Cheese,Cheese, Butter, plus Much More!
- Fred Meyer has Free Turkey cheap Cool Whip, Broth, Sugar, Butter, Plus More!
- Winco has Free Turkey Plus so many pink stars this week!!!
- Walmart has Free Turkey, Cool Whip and Jello $0.04 each, Plus More!

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at these crazy price comparisons – although I TRULY appreciate all the AMAZING work you do! If you had to go to just one store to get all the basics, which would you choose for a big Thanksgiving meal in Boise?
THANK YOU for all your work and help saving us money!
I’m not sure where to put this comment, but I really miss that you don’t do Ridley’s on “stores we blog about”. I had a great morning with their ad- their best item was sugar- 1.18 for 4 pounds. Or the Cranberry sauce for .48. (Actually I miss the Smiths too, because ever so often they have some good deals too) Just thought I would say something…and thanks for the price ideas- sometimes one just doesn’t know, since the product is only bought once a year and stocked up. And prices do just continue to increase.
Thanks for letting us know. I know everyone has their favorite stores and we wish we could afford to post on all of them! Unfortunately that’s just not possible right now. I’m so glad the price list is helpful!
Hi Heather!
Wow you are so right about there being lower prices coming. I just found out today that at the Winco in downtown Boise they are offering their turkeys ( not Butterballs tho) at .58 with a $25 purchase, .48 with a $50 purchase, and while not advertised the turkey is free with a $100 purchase. They are also matching competitors ad prices on holiday foods and even going lower by 1 cent. Just bring in the ad and show it. This includes the private label brown sugar and powdered sugar prices to promote their own store brands. After speaking with their pricing manager, I found out these things. She showed me the sign over the salt bags in the front end detailing the price match, and told me of the other deal with the turkey. Happy shopping!
That’s a great deal! I will add it to my post here this week! I’m glad you got it!
Hey I so appreciate you comiling all this information for us! It’s great!!!!!!! I do have one question. I am in Boise Idaho, and so far the lowest Turkey price I have seen is 87 cent per lb at Winco, and the get the 16lb turkey free at Albertson’s. Did I miss something? The guide says to aim for 50 cents per lb, but I haven’t seen any major coupons other than the $3 off Butterball if you buy the other items and the cheapest I have seen them is again Winco at $1.17 per lb. What am I missing?
Hi Kary, I’m glad this is helpful to you! You’re right. We haven’t seen turkey for $0.50 per lb yet. In the past stores like Fred Meyer and Albertsons have offered Turkey for $0.50 wyb $50 worth of items. It looks like the free turkey at Albertsons is the best deal so far. Hopefully the deals will get better as we get closer to Thanksgiving! We will keep you updated!
Have you all heard of the app called SnipSnap? It would be a wonderful compliment to this website… many coupons online from Toys-R-Us to JoAnne’s to food items. Just an FYI!
Many thanks for this. Love – love – triple love this holiday guide! I hope you do December’s as well. If you do how about including some baking staples like chocolate chips/nuts etc… or Chex Mix supplies (Chex or Crispix cereals, nuts, pretzels, goldfish…) ? I cant tell you how many batches of Chex Mix we go through around here.
You are so welcome! I’ll tell you what, I promise to include any Chex Mix and baking supplies I see in the Thanksgiving match-ups. You can stock up and be already for December!
Thanks! I am already dreaming of Chex Mix–> & ### o ~~ ### o ### ~~ &
I only just started getting the newspaper again. Have I missed all the coupons for thanksgiving goods???
There should be a lot of Fab Thanksgiving Coupons as we get closer to Thanksgiving! And don’t worry if you’ve missed something. There are lots of printable coupons and you can always check out the online coupon clipping services. This is a great time to start getting the paper again!
Thanks for the quick reply!

How can I propogate bears britches?
I have this plant in my garden that took 4 years to produce it's first flower spike and this year (year 6) has produced 2 and is looking quite spectacular. We are selling up and moving South and I would like to take a cutting or harvest some seeds.
Does anyone know how best to do this and when?
18 Oct, 2010
Answers
Thank you Simbad - if I had known that a few years ago, I could have had a few more of this wonderful plant. Hopefully will get some root cuttings going before we move (not sold yet, though). Cannot split the plant as there is only one with two flower spikes!! Can I put the root cuttings in an unheated greenhouse over winter?
18 Oct, 2010
Yes Wendiam unheated greenhouse is perfect, may be springtime before you notice new growth, good luck with selling your house :-)

Previous question
« 6 years ago I moved and `inherited` a very young laburnum tree it has never had more...
Next question
i thaught the guest option was going . when is this please ? »
You can divide the plant in spring or Bears Breeches is easily propogated by root cuttings done between November and February when the plants dormant, just clear the soil around the roots and find pieces of root around pencil thickness insert 2-3 inch pieces in gritty compost so the tops around 1inch below soil surface, cover with grit and wait for them to sprout, you must make sure the cuttings are the right way up though the top being the end nearest the parent plant as they won't root upside down, good luck :-)

What happens if I do not fully recover from an injury, will I receive a settlement?
If I die as a result of a work related injury, are my dependents entitled to compensation?
Q: What is workers' compensation and how much do I receive if I am injured?
Workers' compensation is a limited system intended to provide protection to employees injured in the course and scope of their employment. California Workers' compensation in is a "no fault" system in which neither the employee or employer is considered at fault before benefits are paid. Therefore, negligence or intentional wrong doing are generally irrelevant as to whether you receive workers' compensation benefits. You do not receive general damages such as pain and suffering under workers' compensation law.
There are four primary benefits you may receive when injured on the job:
Back to the top.
Q: How much will I be paid If I miss time from work due to my injury?
If your case is accepted by your employer, you are entitled to receive temporary total disability (TTD) benefits when you are temporarily disabled pursuant to your doctor’s orders. There is a two year limit on temporary disability payments.
The amount of compensation you receive while temporarily disabled depends on whether you work for a private employer or a public entity. If you work for a private employer you will receive two thirds of your average weekly earnings up to a maximum of $1,067.00 per week for injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2010. This compensation is normally paid by the employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier.
If you work for a public entity, your benefits vary depending on the agency you work for, and your position with the agency. Generally, public entities provide for higher benefits.
Q: Will I be entitled to medical treatment for my injuries?
When you are injured on the job, you are entitled to medical treatment provided by your employer and/or its' workers' compensation insurance carrier. various workers’ compensation legislative reforms, medical treatment, particularly for orthopedic injuries, is severely limited. All medical treatment is now subject to "utilization review" which allows the employer/ insurance carrier, to submit the treatment requests to a doctor for review to determine if the treatment is appropriate..
Q: Who Selects The Treating Doctor?
Employers may create a Medical Provider Network (MPN) to control medical treatment for your work related injury. If your employer creates a MPN, you must treat within the network. While you have the right to choose a doctor within the network, you do not have the right to treat outside the network.
You may be able to avoid treating within the MPN if you pre-designate a doctor to treat you for a work related injury. This doctor must be one who has been your primary treating doctor or surgeon and who consents to the pre-designation. Pre-designation may be done at any time so long as it is prior to an injury.
Q: Do I need to retain an attorney when I’m injured on the job?
In most cases an injured worker needs to retain an attorney as soon as possible to protect his or her rights even if you are receiving benefits. However, if you are not receiving benefits in a timely manner, have difficulty obtaining appropriate medical care, have residual permanent disability justifying final permanent disability compensation, or a need for future medical care benefits, you should consult with an attorney immediately to ensure that all appropriate benefits are and will be provided to you.
Q: Are there time limits in filing workers' compensation claims?
Yes. There are various statutes of limitations that apply to filing a workers' compensation claim, and they can be extremely complex. Any injury that requires treatment should be reported immediately to your employer, who should then provide to you, within 24 hours, an Employee Claim for Workers' Compensation form. You must return the completed form to your employer.
Whether your employer denies or accepts your work-related injury, you should consult with an attorney. An attorney will file an Application for Adjudication of Claim with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. at all, you should seek the advice of an attorney.
Q:-injured.
Q: Is workers' compensation my only legal remedy?
Normally, if injured on the job, you are limited to recovering from your employer in workers' compensation only. You may not sue your employer for "damages" in a separate civil action. However, there are various exceptions to this rule which.
Q: What if I am unable to return to my job as a result of the injury?
If you are unable to return to work, you may be entitled to a "job displacement allowance" ranging from $4,000 to $10,000 which is payable in a voucher form to a school or training facility.
Q: What happens if I do not fully recover from an injury, will I receive a settlement?
You may be entitled to receive permanent disability compensation if you suffer any permanent residual effects from the injury. A determination of the extent of permanent disability is based upon a review of the medical evidence, which can come from your treating physician, or an independent physician. The percentage of disability you receive is based on impairment and may be payable even if you return to your usual and customary occupation. The actual monetary value of any settlement is based on the percentage of permanent disability as determined by the physician in his or her report.
Q: If I die as a result of a work related injury, are my dependents entitled to compensation?
Yes, and you probably would not be reading this! But, your surviving dependents (total or partial) may be entitled to any benefits that accrued while you were alive. Surviving dependents may also be entitled to workers' compensation death benefits, including burial expenses if your death was job related. There are specific time limitations to file a death claim with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and each case should be discussed with an attorney to ensure a statute does not expire.. |
Easter poems are examples of Mother poems about Easter. These are the best examples of Mother Easter
Grace absorbs Western sun beneath Her dark fertility
To return with gratitude as Earth's morning embraces her
yet again
While Sky God watches us watching western divas
She takes his measure and He grasps hers
Evening's morning revolves “Eternal Earth Day”
once more
She is Earth's Diva Mother,with unrecreated Queenly Grace
From lava flows wombed eternal life, from tomb to rebirth
Echoing nights surrender sublime stars on her soft scent skin,
Sky God
Sits firm upon his solar rays
Undressing her belly clad in bonding beauty
Surrounded by resplendent light
One billion blaring stars
Earth's Health ReGeneration,
Strains forth with present new beginning
Birth of radical rebirth
Ovation gift of swelling zero silent life
Peaceful revolution's radiant co-redeemer
Humanenatural CoPresence.

The Mary’s Were Picked
“It must be our lucky day,
We’ve rolled the stone away!” "
There once was a gray cottontail rabbit.
All of her brothers and sisters were brown.
The gray one, named Suzie, had a habit.
She would hide when the family went to town.
One Sunday they were on their way to church.
All the brothers were clean with white pressed shirts.
But Suzie did her brand new dress besmirch.
Chocolate and yummy nutty filberts -
Come now, my sweet bunnies their mom did call.
It's Easter Sunday, let's be of good cheer.
The babies ran to mom who counted all.
A perfect celebration please, this year.
But they panicked when they found Suzie gone.
Once again, they went searching everywhere.
They saw Suzie's tail, a pink bow thereon.
She was hopping to a basket with flare!
“Come here, now, Susie rabbit.” Mother called.
But inside the basket were colored eggs.
Thus, Suzie had become very enthralled.
About then Suzie felt some hairy legs.
Giant bunny put his eggs on the ground.
When he saw her, he jumped back pretty quick.
All the while, Mother called her with a frown.
I must be brave, she thought, in a panic.
Her whole family swiftly hopped to her side.
But Easter Bunny picked Suzie up fast.
He stood straight tall with two feet far astride.
Wide-eyed, terrified, Suzie shrieked aghast.
Easter Bunny held Suzie in his lap.
I heard that you hide when you go to town.
You must stop or ensue an evil trap.
Then he hugged her and set sweet Suzie down.
Her mother, brothers, and sisters all sighed.
Alas they were together once again.
They hugged her and loved her; everyone cried.
Then, took Easter eggs to the preacher, Ken.

Here's a story about a convention
That only happens once a year
Then everyone who attended
Will just suddenly disappear
I'm talking about the mythical creatures
I'm sure you know their names
Some came bearing presents
While others just wanna play games
The first one there was Santa Claus
Bearing gifts and dressed in red
Then I saw the Tooth Fairy
She didn't have a tooth in her head
Then Mother Nature finally rolled in
Of course, she was riding on a cloud
After her, came The Sandman
And he was snoring, really loud
The Easter Bunny brought his whole family
All six hundred and seventy-nine kids
And cupid was trying to make some money
Selling arrows to the highest bids
Jack Frost, said he wasn't coming
Him and Mother Nature had a fight
Jack was mad, cause she made him go to bed
When he wanted to stay up all night
Last but not least, was Father Time
And he made everybody wait
Don't you think that's kinda ironic?
Father Time was the only one late
Anyway, they had a great time, like every year
And one, even spent a night in jail
Now, I'm not saying who it was
But if you don't get any presents, oh well |

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- New software being adopted by United Airlines could save the company as much as $25 million annually, say the MIT and University of Florida researchers responsible for the program.
Planning an airline's flight schedule requires consideration of many criteria. These include matching the capacities of planes with demands for flight legs, and weighing the costs of non-stops and through connections (flights on the same planes continuing to additional destinations) against the prices passengers are willing to pay for them.
The new software will improve the efficiency of such scheduling. It is based on a novel integrated methodology developed by Professor James Orlin, co-director of the Operations Research Center at MIT's Sloan School of Management, Graduate Student Dushyant Sharma of the ORC, and Professor Ravindra Ahuja of the University of Florida.
The new methodology, which identifies the most profitable assignment of planes, led to greater efficiencies than an earlier version. The latter solved the problem in a non-integrated manner as a two-stage decision process.
Previously, an airline's ability to assign planes to flight legs and determine through connections between flights in an integrated manner was impractical because the solution technique required too much computer time. The new software, based on a novel search-based methodology, allows an airline to obtain near-optimal decisions within seconds. The researchers estimate the airline could save as much as $25 million annually.
They are now extending this methodology to include additional criteria, such as crew costs, reliability, and flexible flight departure times. The work was funded by the National Science Foundation and United. |
WARREN - A 34-year-old Niles man was sentenced to 11 years behind bars Tuesday for his role as an accomplice in an attempted burglary in which his friend was shot to death by the homeowner.
Michael Burns offered a brief apology to Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Andrew Logan, who merged sentences on charges of attempted aggravated burglary and involuntary manslaughter for a total of 11 years.
A jury in Logan's courtroom in December discarded an option of finding Burns guilty of murder, which could have meant a life sentence with parole eligibility after 15 years.
The manslaughter charge carried a maximum penalty of 11 years and the burglary charge eight years.
Assistant county prosecutor Chris Becker had asked for 19 years and that the charges not be merged for sentencing in a memorandum he filed with the court.
Burns and another man were with their friend Terry Allen when he was killed July 12 by a shotgun blast through the front door of the Niles Cortland Road home of Roy Hahn, 41, who was cleared by authorities.
The trio and two women planned to steal copper from the home to sell for money to go to the Trumbull County Fair, according to testimony. The three men entered a nearby house first and found no copper, so they moved on to Hahn's house.
Hahn told jurors about being awakened after midnight and noticing at least two men running from the back door to his front door. He said he heard the obvious noises of someone trying to pry their way into the home.
He said he feared for his life. He retrieved the shotgun he normally uses to hunt deer and fired one blast from the 16-gauge through the wooden door, and called police afterward.
Besides killing Allen, the blast hit Burns in the upper right arm. He never sought medical attention until at least a week after he was arrested by U.S. marshals after hiding out in Carroll County.
In May of 2004, Austintown police said Burns suffered a gunshot wound to a leg during what was described as a ''drug deal gone bad'' in the parking lot of a Burger King there.
Burns was sentenced to two years in prison for trafficking drugs in Mahoning County later in 2004. He did 16 months in prison for burglary in 2002 out of Mahoning County.
And earlier last year, Burns served 15 days in jail for criminal trespass and theft.
Allen's wife, another woman and another suspected male accomplice face the same murder charges as Burns did originally. Their cases are pending.

L3Harris Receives $100M Army Order for ENVG-B Systems
L3Harris Technologies has secured a $100 million order from the U.S. Army for its combat-ready enhanced night vision goggle-binocular systems.
The order falls under a $442 million contract. The Army has received more than 6,000 ENVG-B systems since 2018, L3Harris said.
ENVG-B provides soldiers with enhanced situational awareness, allowing them to target, engage and neutralize threats.
The helmet-mounted, dual-waveband goggle enables rapid target acquisition as it lets soldiers see around corners without risk of exposure. It also has a high-resolution display and offers real-time, actionable intelligence through the fusion of image intensified white phosphor tubes and thermal imaging.
“The advanced capabilities of the ENVG-B give soldiers the unmatched ability to identify, assess and engage a target with greater accuracy and speed,” Lynn Bollengier, president of L3Harris’ Integrated Vision Solutions, said in a statement.
L3Harris completed its first delivery of ENVG-B systems to an Army unit in April 2020. The second delivery came in September 2020.
The company also supports dismounted soldiers through the Small Tactical Optical Rifle-Mounted Micro Laser Rangefinder 2.
STORM 2 is a rifle-mounted, multifunction laser system designed to improve soldier performance and visibility at extended range during field maneuvers. It allows users to perform laser ranging and target hand-off operations in all battlefield conditions.
L3Harris also supplies tactical radios to the Army. The company’s AN/PRC-163 multi-channel handheld radios allow dual-channel crossbanding and provide situational awareness through an ISR mission module with full-motion video capabilities.

An Ontario judge's decision to toss Toronto Mayor Rob Ford from office over a conflict-of-interest complaint has illustrated the potential consequences of a similar allegation against Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz.
On Monday, Ford was removed from office for breaking Ontario's Municipal Conflict of Interest Act because he failed to recuse himself from a council vote on whether he had to repay an improper charitable donation.

'It's a shame beautiful trees are dying for a story such as this' --Mayor Sam Katz Purchase Photo Print
The political future of Winnipeg's mayor could be decided the same way next spring, when a judge decides whether Katz broke Manitoba's Municipal Council Conflict of Interest Act in 2010 by spending $2,915 of public funds on a Christmas party at Hu's Asian Bistro, an Ellice Avenue restaurant owned by the mayor at the time.
On April 2, court will consider whether public spending on this party, held for city councillors and department heads, violated provincial conflict-of-interest legislation, as argued by the complainant, Winnipeg restaurateur Joe Chan.
If the judge decides Katz broke the rules, the penalty is all but automatic: The mayor will lose his council seat as unceremoniously as did Ford.
"People will try and draw comparisons, but if you look, there is nothing," Katz said Monday in an interview, assuring he is not concerned about what he described as a frivolous complaint. "It's a shame beautiful trees are dying for a story such as this."
Chan, who manages Cathay House Restaurant and has worked for Daniel McIntyre Coun. Harvey Smith, initially filed a declaration in the Court of Queen's Bench alleging Katz engaged in a conflict of interest. After making procedural errors, Chan withdrew his motion and was forced to pay $750 in court costs.
The complaint was then picked up by human rights lawyer David Matas, who filed another declaration and managed to secure the April court date.
"From what I understand, there is no merit to the case and it will probably be the exact same situation once more," Katz said. "A Christmas party has nothing to do with a meeting of city council."
Manitoba's municipal conflict-of-interest act stipulates elected officials must not vote on decisions that could benefit them to the tune of $500 or more. The act is meant to govern business on the floor of council and council committee meetings, said Robert Tapper, Katz's lawyer.
Based on Chan's logic, the mayor would violate the rules any time he takes a councillor to lunch at his restaurant to discuss city business, Tapper argued.
"I would be more than hopeful the judge will see this as the nonsense that it is," he said.
Comparing the Ford case to the complaint against Katz is like comparing "apples to horseshoes," Tapper said.
Matas agreed the allegations in the two cases are different, but noted the potential punishment essentially is the same: the loss of one's seat.
"Litigation is never certain but structurally, it's the same situation," said Matas, who argues the Manitoba act applies to Katz's spending decision.
Municipal law experts say the judge in this case may be forced to consider technical arguments.
For example, the fact council approves annual budgets for the mayor's office could allow someone to argue the provincial act applies to specific mayoral spending decisions.
"It's funny how the really silly, little things can bring you down," said University of Manitoba law Prof. Anne McGillivray.
"Even if the act only applies to what's said and done in the council chambers, which is where Rob Ford got in trouble, it doesn't speak to whether you are governing with integrity."
On the other hand, U of M law Prof. David Asper said the act gives judges very little leeway in terms of the punishment they mete out against violators.
"If the judge finds there is a breach, then the only choice the judge has is to remove the official from office," Asper said. "That's a pretty draconian provision.". |

Folk has had a bit of a raw deal over the years, the very word bogged down
by those connotations of woolly jumpers and big beards. It would be a
lie to say there wasn't the odd bit of facial hair to be seen about, but the Tønder
Festival experience was anything but a boring one.
True, there were no tents a-flame, no exploding gas canisters or trolley
wars, but it had late-night drinking, debates on the finer aspects of
whiskey, private sing-a-longs with performers, the discovery of the
obligatory festival blow-up doll, yet more imbibing of whiskey, some great
music, lots of sunshine, festival strangers who became friends and even a
love story. The crucial subject of toilets held no fears of looking down
either. There were even sinks, towels and mirrors. It was civilised.
Now for a quick history lesson. They've been getting folkie types
together to perform for the people of Tønder since 1975 and down the years
have had the likes of Steve Earle and Pete Seeger gracing
their stages. Indeed Seeger's grandson, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, continued the
tradition laid down by his legendary relative by playing this year as part
of bluegrass quartet The Mammals. The American band were just one of
the many to visit Denmark from abroad, with artists also playing at the
festival's nine venues from the UK, Ireland and Canada.
Headlining the opening night of the four-day gathering were festival
veterans Runrig. The Isle of Skye veterans pleasantly surprised. Their excellent Canadian singer Bruce Guthro served up a crowd
pleasing performance that veered near prog rock at times whilst never moving
far from their Celtic ballad sensibilities. Old favourite Beat The Drum was
thrown in near the start to get everyone going, while other highlights
included a four-pronged drum solo, the sound of sampled bagpipes, the
beautiful thing that is a foreign crowd singing in unison in English during
the touching Scandinavia, and the traditional finale of Loch Lomond on what
must have been their third encore. I lost count.
Preceding Runrig in the giant green tent they imaginatively call
Tent 1 - the Tønder Festival's version of The Pyramid Stage - was fiddler
extraordinaire Seth Lakeman. Unlike Runrig, Lakeman has largely
been responsible for making folk sexy, achieving public acclaim from
beyond the folk world with his Mercury Prize nominated debut Kitty Jay and subsequent major label deal.
He left those unsure of his talents beforehand in no doubt after a storming
set on Thursday. His assured voice always to the fore, it was his virtuosity
on the violin that really set him aside, particularly during Kitty Jay
itself. I swear I saw smoke floating up from the strings, such was the
speed he was playing at.
Friday at the festival witnessed the official opening in the town square
with the aforementioned Mammals offering a free show while in the roads
around them a bagpiper played and a jazz band rode through the town on top
of an old fire engine.
The evening highlight would be offered by Levellers, ably supported by Great Big Sea, in Tent 2 - Tønder's
'Other Stage' if you will. The Levellers rarely disappoint live and a year
before their 20th anniversary they still have the ability to get everyone in
party mood thanks to ditties like Beautiful Day, Liberty and Riverflow.
Amid all of the fine performances perhaps the star turns were Great Big
Sea. The energetic Canadians had both the audience on Friday and during
their headline show the following night like putty in their hands as they
reeled off their own unique rock interpretations of traditional Irish
drinking songs and sea shanties. They even got the audience singing The
Proclaimers' I'm Gonna Be and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. At the
same time I was getting text messages about what a stinker the Red Hot
Chili Peppers were giving back at Reading.
As with all festivals you miss so much. But a special mention must go to
The McCalmans' Nick Keir, who immediately won me over with some
of the most gorgeous songs I've heard in a long time, performed in a
newfound festival friend's private tent.
It summed up the whole spirit of the
Tønder Festival, which you could enjoy without paying a single Danish Krone.
There was neither security at the front gate nor an alcohol monopoly from a
certain lager brand. But as for the love story I mentioned earlier... well,
you'll have to watch this space. |
“Yes, ma’am, Mrs. Jones, your prescription is ready. That’ll be $60.” Mrs. Jones pulls out her wallet, pays for her medication, and walks out of the pharmacy feeling pretty good about her life.
What she didn’t realize, she walked right past a large sign at the pharmacy listing over 50 maintenance medications for only $9 per month without using insurance (her specific medication being on that list).
Now, you may be thinking, “Wait a minute, shouldn’t the pharmacist have informed Mrs. Jones of the savings she could have received?” Sure, but that is asking a lot of someone, and in today’s world, there tends to be very few people who are willing to go the extra mile (hell, even just the extra STEP) above the minimum. Therefore, we cannot rely on other people to save us money. We have to take control by being aware of the things that can help us lower our healthcare spend! “You don’t know what you don’t know” …Well, listen up! You are about to know and will no longer have an excuse!
In case you don’t remember from my first blog, let me remind you something about “insurance.” Insurance was solely designed to protect you from financial devastation so if something happened to you, that protection would make you whole again.
So let’s go back to Mrs. Jones at the pharmacy. Let’s pretend she read this blog and was on the lookout for signs in the pharmacy to help her save money.
As she walks up to the counter to pick up her medication, she sees a sign that contains over 50 medications for only $9 a month.
“Hot damn, my mediation is on that list! Excuse me, sir, before you run my insurance, I see that my medication is listed on that sign over there for only $9/month. Am I able to take advantage of that without using my insurance?” The gentlemen behind the counter looks at her medication in his hand, types something in his computer and says, “Oh, yes, Mrs. Jones, it sure can! That’ll be $9 for your medication!” – MIND BLOWN! #yourewelcome
Y’all, this story sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it isn’t…this is real life! You have more power to control the cost of healthcare than you realize; you just have to actually do something different than what you have always done! Change comes from doing something different. If there are ways for you to get your medication at a lower cost than what you pay by using your insurance, why wouldn’t you?
Here are some other things you can do:
- Ask the pharmacist if they have their own savings card (a lot of them do)
- Ask what the cash price is (without using insurance)
- Check out the manufacture website of the medication before you go (or while you wait in line…..you are already on your phone anyway, so do something useful!)
- Check out some websites – (a lot of them have apps to download). Here are two that I have found extremely helpful:
We can’t change everything in our healthcare system overnight or even over a year, but NOTHING is ever going to change if we don’t change how WE use it! Ask some questions, get involved, take control because IT JUST AIN’T THAT DANG COMPLICATED!

South Congress (abbreviated SoCo) is a neighborhood located on South Congress Avenue in Austin. It’s also a shopping and cultural district famous for its many eclectic small retailers, restaurants, art and music venues and, more recently, food trucks.
South Congress begins at the Congress Avenue Bridge on Town Lake and runs south toward Highway 71. The area is bordered by two historic South Austin neighborhoods: Travis Heights to the east and Bouldin Creek to the west.
Since its beginnings in the mid-1800s, South Congress has been transformed from a rural country road to the capital city gateway and, finally, to the vibrant shopping district that it is today. Many Austinites attribute its popularity to its views of the Texas State Capitol to the north. |
Zeebrugge ferry disaster 30 years on: 'I've no idea how I survived'
This Monday marks 30 years since the sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise, one of Europe's worst-ever ferry disasters. In just 90 seconds the ship, carrying 459 passengers, capsized just outside the port of Zeebrugge in the icy North Sea. The loss of life was immense - 193 people died, many drowned or died of hypothermia.
Although many years have passed since that terrible night of 6 March 1987, survivor Gillian Lashbrooke, now 46, remembers the terrifying events in vivid detail. Her mother, stepfather and uncle all perished in the accident. Two stepbrothers survived.
Looking back, Gillian marvels at how she escaped with her life, having been knocked unconscious twice before she plunged into treacherous seas. She then struggled for more than half an hour to keep afloat, even vainly attempting to begin the two-mile swim to shore before exhaustion forced her back to the stricken vessel.
Gillian, then 16, clung to the side of the ferry and helped hold a two-year-old girl aloft out of the deadly cold water – but is haunted to this day by not knowing if the little girl was rescued.
"One of my most vivid memories after I had been rescued was sitting in a lifeboat and seeing the huge outline of the Herald of Free Enterprise lying on its side," says Gillian, from Liverpool in the UK.
"I’ve no idea how I escaped with my life but the survival instinct is a powerful thing. Until you are faced with that situation you don’t realise how overwhelming the feeling is to want to live. All I was focused on was seeing my family again, especially my mum. But that wasn’t to be,” she says quietly.
Like many of the passengers on board, her family were on a day trip to Zeebrugge and had arrived on an early morning ferry crossing from Dover.
"I don’t remember much about the place, other than the weather was poor, it was raining and freezing cold," says Gillian, who went with her mum, Eileen, stepdad Keith, uncle David and two of her four stepbrothers, Mark and Colin.
"We drove back to the port in our van for 17.00. The boat was due to leave an hour later. After we boarded, we went in different directions. The last time I saw them, my stepdad was in duty free, the boys were heading to the cinema room and mum and uncle David were sitting in the lounge. Mum gave me some money for something to eat and I said: 'I’ll see you in a minute'."
'Awful sounds still haunt me today'
Gillian wanted to look outside and went on to the top deck - a decision that ultimately saved her life. "I was right at the front of the ferry, leaning on the white railings. We'd been moving for a few minutes when something caught my eye - I could see the boat going down into the water. I thought I was imagining it."
She felt a huge jolt and was thrown backwards into a cabin wall, knocking her unconscious. Moments later she woke and struggled to her feet but was thrown down and banged her head as the ship lurched violently again, knocking her out for a second time.
"I’m not sure what woke me the second time but when I came round after what must have only been a couple of minutes there were awful sounds which still haunt me today," she recalls. "There was a terrible creaking and groaning of metal, the lights went out and people were screaming in the darkness in sheer terror, shouting for help.
"Everything was the wrong way round - I was lying across some of the chairs that were fixed to the deck. I didn’t realise the ship was on its side until I saw the chairs were vertical, they’d almost become a ladder. Above me, I could see the doors leading back into the ship and wanted to get inside to see my family – but I couldn’t get over the chairs."
The sea rose rapidly around her - at first ankle deep, then up to her waist. The frigid water took her breath away. "I was so scared. My hands were already numb with cold and the bangs to my head left me feeling sick and confused.
"Within five minutes my survival instinct kicked in. I knew I had to get off the boat because I thought it would carry on sinking and drag me down. I’ve always been a strong swimmer - Mum taught me from an early age - and though it sounds crazy I thought I could swim to shore."
Frightened, concussed and shivering, Gillian leapt into the waves - fully clothed in a thick denim jacket, long denim skirt and boots - without realising she was in fact two miles off land.
"When I jumped in I went a long way below the surface and really struggled to get back to the surface and gasp for air. The water was freezing and the waves were much bigger than I’d expected. The current was so strong I could barely move."
'People screaming and crying'
Panicking, she realised she had to turn back and cling onto the ship for survival. "I swam back where the decks had formed a kind of alley filled with water and saw a terrified woman holding a little girl who looked about two. I found something shaped like a hook and hooked the back of my skirt onto it to stop me going under the water. Then I held my arms up to help keep the girl out of the water.
"The woman told me it wasn't her daughter, she'd just grabbed the child as she escaped. It was so sad. I could still hear the faint sound of people screaming and crying."
Between them, they spent the next half hour fully immersed in the sea as they held the girl above them to save her life. "I kept slipping under the waves but the thing that kept me going was wanting to know if Mum was still alive," says Gillian. "I kept thinking about her."
Hearing a rescue helicopter hovering above, Gillian realised they would never be found as they were underneath a section of the deck. Despite suffering hypothermia, she swam out into the sea again in a bid to get help.
"I was exhausted and frozen and wasn’t sure I’d make it. As I swam off the woman shouted: 'Gillian, please don’t leave us, help us' but I had to do it or we’d never get rescued."
Two minutes later, as she began sinking below the waves, a spotlight shone in her eyes and she heard shouts nearby. "I heard someone say 'over here' and knew I'd survived. Just knowing I was going to live was an amazing feeling, a feeling I could never match ever since. As they pulled me on to the boat I lost all the feeling in my body. That's when the hypothermia really set in. They rubbed me with towels to create warmth.
"I remember saying: 'There’s a woman and a child in there, please save them' but I don’t know what happened to them - it still haunts me."
Gillian was taken to a nearby rescue boat where she was reunited with her stepbrother Mark. "It was such a relief to see him. The first thing I said was: 'Where’s mum, where’s everyone else?' but he didn't know."
They were separated again once back on shore as Gillian was rushed to hospital, where she spent an agonising night alone being treated for hypothermia.
"I kept thinking it was a nightmare and I'd wake up," she recalls. "I couldn't sleep. I still felt chilled to the bone, I was physically sick and had head injuries where I bashed the side of my face. The amount of bruising on my body was incredible."
'It felt like we were just another number on a list'
The next day a nurse told Gillian she was being taken to an army base with other survivors and there had a tearful reunion with Mark and her other stepbrother Colin. But there was no news about their parents or uncle David – whose body was washed up on a beach a month after the tragedy.
The following morning, the three teenagers were taken to a building beside a gym, which unknown to them was being used as a temporary mortuary for victims of the disaster.
"There were other survivors there sat around tables. A woman sat down at our table with a clipboard. She asked who we were and we told her our names. She looked up and said: 'You do know your parents are dead, don’t you?' Then she said: 'Who do you think will take this the worst out of all of you?' and we all said 'me' at the same time. I'll never forget that. It seemed so cold, like we were just another number on a list that she had to attend to."
Agonisingly, the teenagers were then told they had to identify the bodies. "We walked in and I recoiled. There were rows and rows of bodies, faces exposed. We saw my stepfather pretty much straight away. By then I couldn’t move, I was crying uncontrollably, so my brothers were taken around. There must have been 100 bodies there, with other survivors identifying their loved ones at the same time as us. I heard Mark shout over: 'We've found your mum'. That was a very bad moment.
"They wanted to lead us away and I said: 'No, I want to see her.' I walked past rows of bodies. I will never forget the faces, especially those of the children. Then I saw Mum. I just wanted to hug her but the mortuary staff wouldn't let me. I simply touched her arm and said: 'I love you mum. Goodbye mum.'"
In shock, the teenagers were led out only to be callously informed that a ferry would take them back to England, sending Gillian into panic. At the last minute, a plane was organised. Back home, the youngsters were met by elder stepbrothers Paul and Ian, and their grieving family - who at first had feared Gillian, Mark and Colin had also died.
"It still felt like a bad dream, the shock was unbelievable," says Gillian. "I kept thinking: what’s going to happen now? We’ve got no parents." Ian was made guardian of his siblings and Gillian quickly found herself in the role of homemaker - despite still being at school.
"I felt I had to take over Mum's position and look after everyone, I felt like that was what she would have wanted me to do. I learned to cook and did the washing, ironing and tidying.
"I'd gone back to school two weeks after the disaster, just for a bit of normality. I took my O-levels a few weeks later but could barely concentrate. I couldn't revise as there was so much going on in my head. It was strange at school as no one mentioned what'd happened to me in case they hurt me, but I really wanted to talk about it."
'Nothing can compare to that terrible day'
Gillian was never offered counselling or therapy despite the terrible trauma she had suffered. However, within weeks of the accident, came a glimmer of hope. Her long lost dad Alan - who separated from her mum when she was four - got in touch after Gillian made an appeal.
"I'd always planned to try to find him when I was older," she says. "It should have been the happy reunion I'd always imagined but it was under very different circumstances. I felt so relieved to see him after all those years - to feel fatherly arms around me, I felt so much comfort."
Aged 17, Gillian met her now ex-husband Richard, a friend of one of her brothers. "He was one of the first people I talked openly with about Zeebrugge. In fact, we sort of bonded over it. I had been through so much, I knew by the way he reacted to what I was saying that he was a good person, he gave me strength."
The couple - who split up nine years ago but are still good friends - have two sons, James, 23 and 21-year-old Daniel. Gillian admits that after experiencing such trauma she was a very protective mum, and insisted the boys learned to swim from a very early age. She still swims four times a week but admits she has always been terrified of boats and only went on the Liverpool ferry for the first time a few years ago. “I still get flashbacks,” she says.
Referring to the investigation that followed the Zeebrugge disaster - which revealed that three crew members had failed to close the bow doors, leading to a catastrophic flooding of the car deck - Gillian, who works in a nursing home, says it is hard not to feel angry.
"I feel I’ve been robbed of my loved ones. Through no fault of their own they were taken away – it was not a natural disaster, there were mistakes made. Mum should have seen me grow up, should have seen my boys become men. But being angry won't bring her back.
"The 30th anniversary will be hard. I'll visit Mum's grave as I always do. I still talk to her most days, which is a great comfort.
"Looking back, I think surviving that day made me a stronger person. When I’ve had trials and tribulations in life, that survival instinct has kicked in again. If I can get through that I can get through anything. Nothing can compare to that terrible day."
A heart rending story written by a very courageous lady.
Please God, lessons have been learned from this disaster.... |
Bibimbap, a popular Korean dish, is the ultimate simple meal in a bowl providing protein and colorful flavor in a rainbow of produce. Athletes who consume an array of vegetables experience positive health benefits such as increased energy, glowing skin, and improved mental acuity. Properly balanced vegetarian meals such as this one, have more than one source of protein blended together with nutrient dense veggies and healthy fats to supply sustained energy throughout the day.
The triple play of protein in bibimbap typically comes from meat, egg, and rice. In this vegetarian version, the meat is replaced with mushrooms to absorb all of the traditional Korean flavors and the rice base has been replaced with amaranth which is slightly higher in protein than the more common rice. Amaranth is a naturally gluten free ancient grain similar to quinoa but with a less pronounced flavor that lends itself as a perfect companion to many meals.
Mung bean sprouts offer a desirable crunch and are the protein star of honorable mention. Mung beans are not soy beans but are similar. However, mung beans have significantly less phytoestrogen content than soy beans so they do not cause the same effect (if any at all) to an athlete’s hormones. Mung bean sprouts can easily be substituted for soy bean sprouts in Asian cuisine to avoid possible complications from soy. Combining these sprouts with two eggs and the amaranth makes this an appetizingly beautiful high protein dish suitable for any athlete.

- In a sauté pan, toss spinach with sesame oil and cook on medium until wilted. Remove from pan and place in same bowl alongside the amaranth.
- In same sauté pan, add mushrooms and cook until they have given up most of their moisture.
- Add tamari or coconut aminos and rice vinegar to the mushrooms. Cook a few minutes to absorb some of the sauce. Arrange cooked mushrooms in the bowl with the amaranth.
- In the same sauté pan, add a touch more oil if needed to cook eggs. Cook eggs to desired doneness.
- While eggs are cooking, arrange remaining vegetables in the bowl with the amaranth.
- Gently place cooked eggs in center of the bowl and top with scallions and kimchi, gochujang, or chili sauce, as desired. |
What Naval Architects Should Consider When Faced With Steep Insurance Requirements
Author – Chris Engstrom of Hall & Company
It’s not uncommon for a municipality, shipyard or project owner to generate a contract with insurance requirements that are appropriate for vessel construction and repair, but not appropriate for the professional services rendered by a Naval Architect. These contracts often include language around liability arising out of workmanship errors which is not the responsibility of a design firm. Such contracts also typically include insurance requirements and high limits of liability that are common for builders but not design firms. It is very important to ensure that the contracts you enter into are appropriate for Naval Architect services, and further caution is recommended to avoid problematic provisions that may not be insurable.

Daredevil Ben Hedley has become one of the world’s fastest skiers – on a pair of second-hand skis he bought cheap on eBay.
He began competing in the dangerous sport of speed skiing in January but has already been clocked at 114mph.
Ben, 33, who is being compared with 80s have-a-go ski jumper Eddie “the Eagle” Edwards, represents Great Britain but the team receives no official funding or sponsorship so he has to pay for his equipment, travel and accommodation.
Most of his opponents have skis costing at least £700 a pair while Ben makes do with a standard £150 set he found on auction website eBay.
Nearly all his kit is second hand and some is six years old but he’s amazed experts by becoming ranked eighth in the world.
He said: “The only new thing I bought was a helmet which is very important as there is no such thing as a small crash in speed skiing.”
Competitors hurtle down extremely steep slopes – often more than 45 degrees.
Ben, a businessman from Clapham, South London, said: “You plunge straight down and accelerate from nought to 100mph in four to five seconds.
“That’s as fast as a Formula 1 car. Except Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton have brakes. And a steering wheel.” |
