WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - A local man with a big dream to make the world a sustainable place. Jock Brandis with "The Full Belly Project" stars in a new web series called "Replan It". The web series starts Wednesday.
Brandis has spent years making the world a sustainable place. He's teaching farmers across the globe how to grow without technology.
"It started in a little village in west Africa and its come back home right here," said Brandis.
He wants farmers to be able to grow and supply locally, claiming the "big farm people don't care about the bottom billion."
"The quaint idea that produce from Columbus County would come to Wilmington and be sold, like it was going on in the 1920s," said Brandis. "It has to come back. We have got to grow our food locally and decentralize."
The web series chronicles Brandis as he travels the world teaching locals how to be more efficient.
"In some ways I'm trying to keep a way of life going but its a way of life around the world," said Brandis. "We invent machinery and solutions for basically the poorest farmers in the world.
Rob Hill, the producer of the series started following Brandis 6 years ago.
"The reaction when Jock is able to bring these gifts to people that need it and the jubilation that these people,e especially in the developing world go through when they receive it, is really amazing," said Hill.
The production is also looking at doing a TV series on Jock Brandis.

BEA WebLogic VE brings virtualization to the application server
Our product review reveals that WebLogic Server Virtual Edition is a bold innovation that effectively leverages VMware server virtualization but is currently hampered by a lack of management tools
As IT finds itself slowly but irresistibly sucked into the virtualization phenomenon, vendors of application servers have begun to participate in the new trend. Perhaps the most aggressive and innovative of these vendors has been BEA, a company that has always prided itself on being an early adopter of new standards and technologies.
Several years ago, BEA began research into the feasibility and benefits of running its JRockit Java VM directly on the virtualization platform, or hypervisor, rather than relying on intermediate operating systems. At the time, this effort was intended as a performance boost. By eliminating the operating system, the Java VM could communicate directly with the server VM about key activities such as thread scheduling. The version of JRockit that resulted from this research was called BEA LiquidVM, and although it was not released as a separate product by BEA, it forms the basis of a virtualized appliance that runs the company's flagship WebLogic application server. This appliance, known as BEA WebLogic Server Virtual Edition (VE), delivers interesting innovation, but awaits the arrival of a central management system before it is ready for deployment in production environments.
Inside the appliance
The concept of virtual appliances might need some explanation. Appliances consist of a stack of software that runs on top of a virtual machine. What makes it an appliance is that the layers of the stack have been wired together beforehand and properly configured so that users simply install the stack as a single product and use it without additional configuration. It's a turnkey implementation. VMware, the market leader in virtualization, offers an online directory of virtual appliances. Many of the entries there are free, as they capitalize on the wealth of open source software to create useful stacks. For example, you can find an appliance called OpenBSD MailServer, which integrates the OpenBSD operating system, a mail server, a spam filtering package, and a Web server interface, all preconfigured and ready to run. The virtual appliance model will surely become more common in IT; in fact, I expect it will soon be the default delivery vehicle for packages. BEA might well be the vendor that first familiarizes IT sites with this approach.
The VE appliance includes the WebLogic 9.2 Server Premium Edition, the LiquidVM, and a thin interface shim that operates between the JVM and the VM. In this case, the VM must run on VMware ESX Server. (Demo versions are available for VMware Workstation.) The shim layer between the JVM and the VM is where the magic occurs — it's the stand-in for what is usually the operating system layer. And while it replaces key functions, it does not include a file system — that is, not one that is accessible by the layers above the JVM. Consequently, all files used by the app server must reside on a remote device, such as a NAS or SAN.
This design means that disk I/O will be somewhat slower than if the accessed files were local to the app server. However, it provides a crucial advantage: The appliance remains fairly small in size and is easily migrated from system to system. This last point is central to understanding the value of the product, as I explain in the next section.

(WMC-TV) - Early voting is underway for the Memphis pre-K sales tax. Both sides of the tax have increased their efforts for your vote.
As both sides agree pre-K is a good thing, they differ on how to get there.
"This is an island of misfit arguments," said Memphis Councilman Shea Flinn, who is for the sales tax.
He says all ballot language guarantees all $47 million dollars will go to fund pre-K.
He also says all four-year-olds are eligible and that the money will cover about 8,000 children. But research shows only about 5,100 currently are not served.
"Every child is covered. Any assertion otherwise is a lie and needs to be supported by facts," said Flinn.
Reverend Kenneth Whalum is against the sales tax hike.
"It's a lie because they can't provide high-quality pre-K for every child in Memphis," said Whalum.
He says his research shows there's about 10,000 4-year-olds in Memphis, not counting 5-year-olds who would not meet the birthday cutoff for Kindergarten.
"The bottom line ... is that Memphis elected officials cannot be trusted to do what they say they're going to with regard to education," said Whalum.
Whalum says he believes the sales tax hike is regressive, unfairly burdening the poor.
"Of course, I'm for pre-K. That's why I'm against the sales tax increase," said Whalum.
Flinn says there is no other plan.
"If it's gonna have sustainable success it has to have a dedicated revenue source. The only way to find that is on the sales tax," said Flinn. "If you believe that this is too much to ask then what's going to change? We have to change what we're doing in this community. This is our opportunity to do it."
Both sides agree on one thing: They ask you go vote.
Election Day is November 21.

The topic of this call was diving deeper into "Working with Resistance in International Development." The call was facilitated by Gail Hochachka of Integral Without Borders. Ken Wilber and Anne Caspari discussed the deeper and finer issues of Theory U and transformative processes, that Anne had mapped out in her earlier work (Diagrams – working with resistance). We discussed the different phenomena of restistance and adaptive pushback that are usually surfacing as recognizable patterns in these processes and their relationship to stages of development, states of consciousness and the shadow. Then we went also to explore the difference between individual and group processes, a research on collective insighting with Bonnitta Roy and the Alderlore Insight Center, that Anne is also involved in. Since all of the participants, including Ken was really interested in this research at this 'fresh edge of discovery', we will keep you posted on the outcomes of that.

We are co-creating a collaborative symposion called "In-sighting Emergent Capacities" at Alderlore Insight Center, CT, in November 14 - 17, 2013, under the guidance of Bonnitta Roy.
Alderlore Insight Center invited people from diverse wisdom traditions who are driven by a strong desire to realize the next iterative and alternative steps in common reality going beyond the usual dialectics. The people participating in this symposium have been very careful to delineate specific approaches that steer clear of the conventional traps of collective practice. This symposium brings these traditions together for the first time to engage as peers – all on the same level to practice collective insight. We will be using shared capacities of intuiting and our understanding of systems design and meta-theory in order to identify principles underlying the in-sighting process and in order to liberate truly emergent and elegant solutions for complex adaptive challenges.
In our exploration we are looking to identify a rigorous set of principles for collective insight that is not values or world-view specific, but is methodological in scope and processural in practice. Then we have the possibility of bringing collective insight-training into a much larger context and have a powerful practice for addressing 21 Century problems.

Panel discussion between Bonnitta Roy, Phillipe Greier and Layne Hartsell June 7, 2014.
June 21 to 29, 2014: Transformation Intensive is a full immersion 9 days residential course on personal transformation and insight.
The rewards of taking the full Transformation Intensive are new perspectives and realizations about your hidden assumptions and thought patterns that you had no idea were "running you". These insights are very liberating and provide the necessary basis to regain personal power. Now, it will be much easier learning and applying the skills to dissolve these limitations, recurring patterns, these inner conflicts and incoherence for good. Once you see the real source of what has been preventing change, the approach guides you on a new path to accomplish it in day to day life. The insights of this course can be directly applied to personal, professional, and collective challenges.
It speaks to your own level of expertise and happens in a safe and light environment. Transformation Intensive will be thoroughly experiential. It uses methods and materials that can be seen through the lenses of Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, Otto Scharmer's U-Theory or Robert Kegan's Immunity to Change work. They can also be cross-referenced with other more intuitive transformative processes, tools and methods.

This radically improves a leader's ability to navigate today's highly complex, ambiguous, and rapidly changing context, and cascade those new skills into the entire organization.
Vertical learning has proven to unlock powerful yet latent mental, emotional, and relational capacities that make leaders more effective across a variety of mission-critical domains. These include improved strategic and systemic thinking, change leadership, stakeholder relationship development, and conflict management.

One of the most convenient methods of cleaning your diamond jewellery is to use mild washing up liquid mixed with lukewarm water: normally 1 part washing up liquid to 20 parts water. You should leave your diamond jewellery to soak for approximately half an hour. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and gently clean the item, making sure you also clean behind the setting itself. Make sure that when doing this, you use a bowl filled with warm water and do not clean your diamond rings or diamond jewellery over an open sink. When finished, simply dip the item in some cold water and pat dry with a clean soft cloth.
Always bring your jewellery in on a regular basis (every 6-9 Months) for a full clean and check, this is normally free on all our pieces with proof of purchase and will usually allow us to advise you prior any issues that may arise.
Don't keep diamond pieces stored together – they are likely to scratch each other.
Some stones can be quite porous and you should therefore avoid immersing them in water for too long, e.g. opal and turquoise.
Some semi/precious stones can also be damaged by sunlight, including amethyst, aquamarine, beryl, opal, citrine, rose quartz and smoky quartz. Take care to protect these stones from direct sunlight when they are not being worn.

Thomas Rhee took over an existing sushi restaurant in Northvale and kept the name, the furniture and the streamlined interior décor. But everything else – especially the menu and the food – has changed.
Since the "new" Bamboo opened in February, one of the biggest attractions has been the "all-you-can-eat" menu, Rhee says. But it is not a buffet; everything on the "all you can eat" menu is prepared to order, he says.
"We give customers a menu sheet and they mark down what they would like, and then the order is placed in the kitchen and at the sushi bar, made fresh and sent to the table," Rhee says. "If they would like seconds or thirds, they can order as much as they want. … We encourage them to not waste food. If they start throwing food away, I basically give them a friendly warning, and a surcharge would be applied if they continue to waste food.
"But so far it's working out great," he says. "Most of the customers are very respectful of the food."
Bamboo is the first restaurant owned by Rhee, but his culinary experience includes cooking French cuisine at Chanterelle in New York; sushi restaurants including Ichiumi in New York and Edison; corporate executive chef for Todai in California; and sous chef for Arthur's Landing in Weehawken and South City Grill. Co-owner Sue Seo was most recently general manager at Ichiumi in New York City.
Rhee describes Bamboo's interior design as "modern but cozy." Playing on the restaurant's name, bamboo is a prominent feature and backlit for special effect. Lights are set into the floor for added drama. Much of the décor was already in place from the former restaurant, but "we refreshed it" after purchasing the business earlier this year, he says.
On the menu, Rhee is especially proud of Bamboo's sushi and sashimi.
"I get our tuna from Hawaii – bluefin and bigeye," Rhee says. "I'd rather use better ingredients, make a little less money off each customer and give them a quality product that is far superior."
Customers "have noticed the difference, even in my salmon," Rhee says about Bamboo's Atlantic salmon and premium Scottish salmon. "I have had lots of comments and compliments about the quality of the fish."
Rhee is also proud of his experienced sushi chefs: "One of my chefs has been making sushi for 45 years," he says. "Between my sushi chefs and myself, combined we have over 100 years of experience."
Popular rolls include the Firecracker (tempura shrimp, avocado and cucumber topped with spicy crab meat and shrimp), Banana Mama (salmon, cucumber and fried banana with eel sauce), Black Dragon (eel, avocado and cucumber with eel sauce) and the Northvale roll (shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, spicy tuna and tempura crunch).
Hot dishes include Japanese classics such as teriyaki chicken, skewered meats and donburi.
Rhee plans to introduce a chef's "signature menu" in about a month that will play off his French culinary background, "sort of a French-Japanese fusion style," he says.
And in the future, Rhee envisions opening more restaurants, including one with French fine dining, a casual American bistro, and a wine bar.
"I'm looking for different locations now," he says.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former Border Patrol agent convicted of stealing government property and having child pornography on a computer was sentenced Monday to more than three years in federal prison and ordered to register as a sex offender.
Rodolfo Zuniga, 34, of Imperial Beach, was convicted of possessing images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, theft of government property and interstate transportation of stolen goods.
According to a plea agreement, Zuniga was assigned to the Border Patrol's Imperial Beach station between November 2009 and March 2010. While there, Zuniga was an advisor to Explorer Scouts and had access to Border Patrol equipment, including night-vision goggles and global positioning system units.
Explorer Scouts under Zuniga's supervision occasionally used that equipment in their training.
Zuniga stole four sets of night-vision goggles and one GPS unit, later selling them on eBay, according to the plea agreement. Someone in China paid Zuniga via PayPal Inc., prosecutors said.
The total for the goggles -- which were not recovered -- was $9,937. The GPS unit was sold to a New Jersey couple for $77.73. It was recovered.
On June 29, federal agents served a search warrant at Zuniga's Chula Vista apartment, seizing a desktop computer and external hard drive. An analysis of the computer and hard drive show it contained 384 visual depictions of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, the plea agreement stated.
Zuniga was arrested and resigned from the Border Patrol two weeks later.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Marilyn Huff sentenced Zuniga to 37 months in custody and ordered him to pay restitution to the government.

For an entire month, the Augusta Coalition for Addiction Recovery Awareness focuses on addiction, as a disease, and ways to prevent it.
Jessica Epps from Steppingstones to Recovery explains, "it's estimated that 40 million people, I believe, in America are still in need of treatment services for substance abuse."
Whether it's from a battle with an illegal substance or something completely legal, Jessica Epps says each September, thousands come together to fight addiction. And although the rising trend in synthetic drug addictions has been noted, Epps says a legal substance is still the leading source of addiction.
"It is a huge problem, but alcohol dependency continues to be the primary diagnosis that we see at our facility," she adds.
She says the important thing to remember is no matter the poison, people struggling with addiction can and do recover. People like Ron Ellis.
"Crack cocaine is the one that took me down," Ellis tells News Channel 6's Tyrone McCoy.
Ellis says now that he's taken his steps to recovery, he feels it's important to those who are still trying to kick the habit.
He goes on, "there's so many people out there who need the help that don't know where to go to get the help, or can't afford the help."
This month and every other month, Ellis spreads his message through the Bridge Ministry and Steppingstones to Recovery in hopes to inspire change, he says.
Something he and Epps agree makes National Awareness Month an integral part of that story.
"It took years to get to where we're at as addicts. So we need a longer time to redo all those bad habits to relearn to live life," Ellis leaves News Channel 6's Tyrone McCoy with.

APIs and messaging protocols, including some that are standards, can let users build software-defined networks today. The key issue, though, is that not everyone implements the same ones or implements them the same way. Will OpenFlow get us all on the same path to SDN nirvana?
OpenFlow is an open source API defined to enable multivendor switches and routers to be programmable through software on a central control element -- hence, "software-defined networking." It's designed to manage and direct traffic among routers and switches from various vendors by separating the programming of routers and switches from underlying hardware in order to provide consistency in flow management and engineering.
[ Also on InfoWorld: OpenStack a year later: Popular but still bare bones. | Also check out 6 ways to build SDNs without OpenFlow. | And: Ex-Facebook exec pushes software-defined networks. | Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
ALTERNATIVES: 6 ways to build SDNs without OpenFlow
OpenFlow proponents say the API and protocol, and SDNs in general, will open up networks to more innovation by providing a level of abstraction, or virtualization, between network control and the physical infrastructure.
"Most of the applications that we're looking at that are really useful around SDN (such as virtualized, multitenant data centers) are things that I just can't picture building without OpenFlow," says Kyle Forster, co-founder of Big Switch Networks, a maker of OpenFlow controllers.
"We all recognize that managing networks that span multiple data centers, that may or not be owned by the company, is becoming too complex regardless of all the other advancements being made," says Derek Silva, an analyst at Info-Tech Research Group in London, Ontario. "Network management needs to be easier, and I feel that the vision developed by the SDN movement and [OpenFlow evangelist Open Networking Foundation] is probably the best way to make it happen."
But there are other considerations at play as well, such as where to physically locate the flow controllers, and these considerations are leading some to look beyond OpenFlow.
"The OpenFlow discussion assumes the controller is on a separate device," says Peter Christy, co-founder of the Internet Research Group, a Los Altos, Calif., consultancy. "A reasonable SDN configuration is to distribute the controller software onto each of the switches. In the case where the SDN controller is distributed to each of the switches it wouldn't make engineering sense to literally implement a formal communication protocol within the box."

A bus driver is suspended after failing to check a school bus leaving two kindergartners in the Valley Bus parking lot. Both boys were safely returned to school late. Valley News Teams Kristi Larson talked with one mother about the incident and the schools late apologies.
"It's been my biggest fear all year, is making sure that he gets to where he needs to go because I have to be at work, I can't be at every bus stop." says Christie Wisk.
Her 5 year old son Cade sits happy playing with toys, but the situation yesterday is still fresh in his mind.
"I went to bed really early, I woke up on the bus, I knocked on the window." Cade smiles.
He fell asleep on the bus, and woke up in the parking lot of Valley Bus. No one noticed him until another bus pulled in and saw him pounding on the window. It's a picture that keeps playing through Christies head.
"His head up against that window looking for help." she says shaking her head.
An employee brought him to school, but Christie wasn't contacted until three in the afternoon, after school was out.
"They told me that encase he talked about it tonight that they wanted me to know that he didn't get off the bus at school, that he'd fallen asleep." Christie says.
Scary situation when nearly an hour after Cade was found another 5 year old boy was found on the same bus after a driver failed to do a complete check. Christie says she couldn't believe they hadn't checked at school let alone after her son was discovered on the bus.
Valley Bus General Manager of Operations John McLaughlin says they were just surprised to find one child, and excited to get him back to school.
"We're going to use this as a training tool, with all of our drivers to reassure everybody that this is a procedure that they need to follow." McLaughlin says.
The second kindergartener was brought back to school on the bus. His parents were called when the teacher was taking attendance and noticed he was missing.
Fargo Public School District says because Cade's class had a substitute teacher they didn't know he was missing until he was brought back to his school.
Christie is just happy to have her son home safe, and is glad the school is already trying taking action from this mistake.
"They were very apologetic for not calling me," Christie says with a slight smile, "so they've put some policy in place to even if the child shows up at school, they're still going to let the parent know of the incident right away instead of waiting all day long."

The quiet mountain town of Red Lodge has been on edge after hearing nearly 560 pounds of explosives were stolen from a nearby U.S. Forest Service facility last month. Friday afternoon, officials from local law enforcement held a meeting offering more details about the stolen explosives and addressing public safety concerns.
Although 500 plus pounds of explosives sounds incredibly dangerous to have loose somewhere in the community, Jeff Gildehaus, the outdoor recreation planner for the Beartooth Ranger District, said the thieves don't have all of the components they need to ignite them.
"They are not nitro-glycerin based products like you would think of in cartoons and things like that, where you light them and they go "boom." These explosives take specific detonation systems to initiate them and are as safe as explosives can be to use. The regulations with ATF are that the detonation systems are stored separately from the explosives and we follow those regulations to a "T". So in a theft of explosives like this, those detonation systems aren't even available to them in that same location," said Gildehaus, who is also a certified blaster with the U.S. Forest Service.
In spite of the missing pieces required to detonate the explosives, local police are still taking it seriously and they are boosting security at local schools as a precaution. But for now, Red Lodge police chief Richard Pringle asked everyone in town to keep a lookout for anything suspicious. He encouraged residents to talk to law enforcement if they see something that doesn't look right.
"At this point, it's just a matter of everyone being vigilant and being aware of their surroundings. There's no credible information that there's any threat directed at Red Lodge any more than any other place," said Pringle.
The detonator caps and detonation system that would be required to ignite this batch of explosives are not readily available to the public. Gildehaus said although it's not impossible to detonate without those hard to acquire components, it would be incredibly difficult to do so.

ORANGE man Graeme Wilton died on Monday after allegedly being punched in the head by a 22-year-old Coonabarabran man on December 12 last year.
Police expect to lay fresh charges on the alleged offender after Mr Wilton's death.
Mr Wilton was walking along Griffith Road in Mannering Park on the central coast at about 7.30pm two weeks before Christmas when a white ute pulled up alongside him.
Witnesses told officers a man got out and punched the 56-year-old in the head.
He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for head injuries, before being taken to Wyong Hospital.
Mr Wilton's condition deteriorated and he was transferred to Royal North Shore Hospital where he remained on life support until Monday.
At the time of the attack Mr Wilton and his wife Marlene had left Orange to travel around Australia for two years and enjoy their retirement.
Strike Force Mooneye, comprising officers attached to Tuggerah Lakes Local Area Command, was established to investigate the attack.
Following investigations, police executed a search warrant at a home on Vales Road in Mannering Park, where they seized items for forensic testing.
The 22-year-old fled the scene but he was arrested on January 18 and charged with causing grievous bodily harm to a person with intent.
Mr Wilton was a long-term Ulysses Club member in Orange.

MT. VERNON – School board members Monday took a virtual tour of the new proposed Mt. Vernon Township High School building.
Using detailed computer images, the board examined the exterior and interior of the new $72.8 million campus. The presentation took place at a meeting of the MVTHS Board of Education's Building Committee.After the meeting, board members also looked at actual brick and material samples outside to see how they appeared in the sun."It's very exciting to see more renderings and the actual boards for the sample materials," said Karen Goodwine, MVTHS Board vice president. "It just gives you a better idea of how it's going to be, where you can actually picture it better."As bidding time draws near, it becomes all the more important for board members to be comfortable with the design and to start making firm choices about color and materials, said August Battaglia, principal and design director for FGM Architects."Really, they've been seeing a lot of the renderings all along," Battaglia said. "Now, we're actually picking and choosing actual materials, to kind of put those concepts together."One part of the new campus that prompted discussion Monday was the plaza area between the museum and the library. The hope is that this site can be used for memorial bricks that individuals or groups would pay to have their names on."It seems to me that would be a tremendous way to raise these additional dollars we're looking for," said audience member Mike Beard.Beard also raised questions about the cost of the first-floor roof area, which is designed so that students and faculty can walk on it.The new school project is currently in the construction documents phase. Bidding is set to take place in late October, and excavation of the site should begin in January.

Criminal trio jailed for their role in security guard attack outside bank
Updated 3:47pm Tuesday 25th March 2014 in News By
THREE men, including one from Farnworth, have been jailed for their part in a cash-in-transit robbery.
At about 10.30am on Thursday April 25, last year, a security guard was delivering cash to Barclays bank on Bury New Road, Prestwich, when a man ran at him.
The security guard attempted to fight him off but the man punched him in the face causing him to fall to the floor.
The man grabbed the cash box and got onto the back of a motorbike which pulled up.
Those on the bike were Michael Coupe, aged 27, of Florence Street, Eccles and Liam Wilcox, aged 32, of Higher Market Street, Farnworth.
Coupe and Wilcox later abandoned the motorbike on Hilton Lane, Prestwich, and got into a Fiat Punto and drove to Linden Avenue in Salford.
Officers from the Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit had seen the vehicle and followed Wilcox into a shop in nearby Duchy Road where he was arrested.
Officers then went to a house on Linden Avenue, Salford where they arrested Coupe and Craig Temple, aged 50, who lived at the house.
The security guard suffered a fractured jaw and had some of his teeth knocked out in the attack.
For their roles in the raid, the trio were sentenced by Recorder Kevin Talbot at Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday.
Coupe admitted robbery and was jailed for six years, Wilcox admitted robbery and was jailed for nine years and Temple was found guilty of handling stolen goods after a trial and was jailed for four years.
Afterwards, Detective Inspector Chris Mossop, of Greater Manchester Police's serious crime division, said: "This was a serious robbery involving a large amount of cash and which left the courier, who was simply doing his job, with a broken jaw.
"Incidents of this nature are rare however we take them very seriously and will work tirelessly to find those responsible.
"Officers were on the scene quickly and carried out an intense search to recover the cash and arrest Coupe, Wilcox and Temple.
"These men have now been jailed and I hope this stands as a warning to other would-be robbers that if anyone attempts this sort of crime, we will track them down and bring them before the courts."

Yeah! And judging by their mugshots they look really bothered by it.
They're not gonna do any real time and they'll do it standing on their heads. Lets remember these scumbags get 'respect' in prison. A life sentence would wipe the smug smile off their face.

I think It's about time the Bolton News stop all comments being posted, as they are picking and choosing which stories can be commented on, Especially if the article concerns certain people from a certain races.

One solution to the three who have been so called sentenced - one bullet in the back of the head each and they definitely wouldn't offend again. They are career criminals, always will be and are a waste to a human existence.
But having the likes of this foul, putrid and low-life scum doing what they do keeps greedy parasites of lawyers in a very comfortable existence at our expense, and also keeps the police IN A JOB.
I fully understand that not having comments about ongoing criminal cases and cases yet to come to trial, but the BN are just being pathetically politically correct and racially correct.
Remember people, it's an aR5Ew1pE of a local rag that's not really fit to be hung behind my khasi door as bog paper. Having said that, I have never bought the paper in my 52 years on planet earth, so don't all think I have the BN to do the job of Andrex, I don't! :-) ;-)

Decorating for a kids doesn't mean you have to throw style out the door. I find that adding a few stylish anchor pieces, that work for any age, is the best way to achieve stylish design in a kids space.
And for me, the best place to start is with lighting. Light fixtures always set the tenor for the room. After all, the pendant light is usually in the center, or the focal point, of the room.
Don't be afraid to think outside of the box. I have been known to use modern lighting, suited for a minimalist-minded grown up, in a nursery that was otherwise quite whimsical. I have also gone the route of using a fancy, unexpected and very shimmery chandelier in the playroom.
The great part about decorating for little ones is that you can mix things up and take creativity a bit further than you might in other rooms of your home.
Another added bonus is that when you use lighting (or any decor piece) that suites your grown up taste, it can easily be moved into another room of the house or simply "grow" with your child into the next stage or room style.
1. Eurofase Bronx Black Pendant Light 2. Possini Euro Design White Flower 3. Dandelion Shade Possini 4. Tech Top Charcoal Gray Drum Shade Suspension Ceiling Light
While I think there are endless options, these four fixtures are a favorite and would work well for both little ones and grown ups alike.

We all know that when decorating a room, the cheapest way to change the look is through accessories. You can add color, texture and even pattern by adding a few modern pillows. Pillows can instantly make a sofa feel warmer, add color to a chair and create a pretty haven in a bedroom. And being one of the least expensive elements in a room, you will spend way less than replacing a piece of furniture.
The modern sofa (above) would have looked a little lonely without those awesome patterned pillows.
I love how the designer of this room (above) picked up the color palette from the rug and added that palette to the pillows on this sofa. It looks playful and fun yet still feels sophisticated. The mix of patterns also creates an extra cool look.
This leather sofa (above) is already a fantastic piece without any help. These two pillows add a little bit of dimension and depth to this cozy, masculine room. They also helped maintain the monochromatic palette, which creates a very mature space.
If you're tired of your bedding, switch out your shams and add a few new throw pillows. You'll feel like you got a new bed set! When deciding on how many pillows you should display on a bed, don't go overboard. Display a few pillows that add that "wow" factor.
Here are a few pillows that would add greatness to any room.
Infinity Black Multilines 18" Square Down Throw Pillow
Surya 18" Square Cumin Yellow Throw Pillow
Shock 20" Square Blue and Beige Stripe Throw Pillow
Mirabelle Sky Blue Burst Set of 2 Safavieh Accent Pillows

I've been more than a little obsessed with finding the "perfect" desk chair. As I pin away looking for workspace inspiration I'm constantly asking myself "could I see myself sitting in that chair?" Because everyone knows, a modern chair is the key to any stylish home office.
That's why I decided to pick my favorite office chairs I'd put in my very own workspace. These three options will have you inspired while you're working.

There are tons of styles to choose from – modern, traditional, a regular desk chair – you get my drift.

SOLDEU-GRANDVALIRA, Andorra (AP) -- A women's World Cup giant slalom scheduled for Friday has been canceled because of high winds in the Pyrenees mountains of Andorra.
Wind reaching 62 mph knocked down temporary structures at the base of the 1,300-foot Avet slope during the night. After a 2½-hour delay, the organizers called the race off.
The giant slalom will not be moved to Monday, organizers said. They didn't know yet if it will be canceled or moved to another date.
The organizers also flipped the order of two races this weekend.
The slalom originally scheduled for Sunday was moved to Saturday in the hope that the shorter course on the lower section of the slope will better shield the wind. The second giant slalom on Saturday was moved to Sunday.

Hi. I am Bryan and this is a story about my grandfather and smoking. My grandfather had been smoking and didn?t realize what effect it was having on him. When my grandfather went to the doctor, he told him that his lungs weren?t too good. He started taking the medicine the doctor told him to and it started to help. Meanwhile my grandfather stopped smoking! The second time my grandfather went to the doctor, they put him on oxygen And that helped a lot. Now he is doing fine, he doesn?t need to use the oxygen anymore. I hope that you can learn about what smoking can do to your life and to your body.Imprima English
