RPT-Calais crisis hardens tone of Britain's immigration, EU debate
Dramatic images of migrants storming the Channel Tunnel from France have prompted Prime Minister David Cameron's government to ramp up anti-immigration rhetoric and spurred Eurosceptics to amplify calls for Britain to quit the European Union. The government's increasingly shrill tone has upset charities, churchmen and left-wing politicians, while anti-EU campaigners have seized on the crisis as proof that Britain is unable to protect its own borders while remaining in the bloc.

I Want a President Who Will Encourage the Millennials w/Photo
If there's one group in America that's hurting worse than the African Americans in Prince George's County looking at $300,000 mortgages on their $150,000 homes , it's got to be the Millennials. They are the first generation to be completely left to the mercies of the Cathedral , educated to subordinate conformism by their lefty-lifer teachers and to a punitive secularism by social media bullies.

Islamophobia or Ingratitude? w/Photo
While much of the discussion concerning illegal versus legal immigration centers on the action on our southern border, the immigration statistics and patterns of another group will also have a large impact on the future of America.

Wonderful review.
I too reviewed this and wouldn't give much away as don't you think every reader should go into this not knowing what is going to happen?
I think we both did the right thing though so many other reviews give away the whole concept. This was such a wonderfully surprising book.

Amy Mickelson, Phil Mickelson's Wife, Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
Some really bad news hit the wire a few minutes ago, and I'm not sure if it makes me more sad for Phil Mickelson and his family or more mad at this goddamn disease and what it does to our country.
Amy Mickelson, the trophy wife of Lefty who seems to be all you could ask for in a person, was diagnosed with breast cancer and Phil is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the tour to be with his family.
I just want to say that even when we joke about Phil around these parts, we still respect the guy and what he does, and just hope that everything works out for the best.
Thoughts and prayers your way, Phil and Amy. We will be thinking of you around these parts. I figured this was as good a time as any to give you a quick link to donate any and all cash to Susan G. Komen, The Race for the Cure to Breast Cancer.

Tripura to donate Rs one crore to Uttarakhand
Agartala: Tripura`s Chief Minister Manik Sarkar on Wednesday announced that Rs one crore will be contributed by the state towards the relief of flood victims in Uttarakhand.
"We will donate the money (Rs 1 crore) to the Uttarakhand Chief Minister`s Relief Fund soon," Sarkar told reporters here.
"We feel that this is our moral duty to stand behind the people of Uttarakhand," he said while asking the people of his state to donate generously.
Tripura Governor Devanand Konwar has also announced he would donate his one month`s salary of Rs 1.10 lakh for the flood victims in Uttarakhand.
Unprecedented heavy rain and landslides since June 15 devastated the mountainous state of Uttarakhand, claiming hundreds of lives and affecting thousands of people.

A driver facing criminal charges over a speedy lap around Manhattan has been caught driving again -- after his license was suspended.
A driver facing criminal charges over a speedy lap around Manhattan has been caught driving again — after his license was suspended.
A Manhattan judge raised Adam Tang's bond from $10,000 to $25,000 on Tuesday because of his April 5 arrest in the Bronx.
Defense lawyer Gregory Gomez says Tang pleaded guilty to unlicensed driving, a traffic infraction, and paid a fine. Bronx prosecutors couldn't provide information on the now-sealed case.
Gomez declined to comment on why Tang was driving.

In September, Tang was arrested after a dashboard-camera video showed a BMW making a 26.4-mile loop around Manhattan in 24 minutes and 7 seconds. His license was suspended as a bail condition.
Tang has pleaded not guilty to reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor.
Gomez has said there's no proof Tang acted recklessly.

Neurosis Album Teaser
Digging: Lamb of God - VII: Sturm und Drang
queef ^
Digging: Mutoid Man - Bleeder
the clip sounds like a combo of a sun that never sets and given to the rising
damnit, this ones gonna own so hard, cant wait
Oh man. This is gonna be the best.
the world
is in a fast state of decay
right now
"the world is in a fast state of...DECAY"
Possible AOTY
oh shit that's gonna rule fuck
Digging: Cemetery (US) - Wind and Shadows
The members of Neurosis know the meaning of life and are basically gods in human form. You should be grateful for every second of music they create. If you dont have a Neurosis shrine in your house yet, you disgust me.
collective site ejaculation in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Base I liked your last avatar better.
I posted this first, with what I thought was a fairly decent description like 2 days ago
Interesting...will rule
Digging: John Zorn - Pellucidar
Just thought I'd let any non-UK based Neurosis fans know that I'll be seeing Neurosis and Godflesh at the same gig in December ;-)
Also, this album could be AOTY...but it will have to topple Enslaved which I think is perhaps unlikely.
Cool, it has some thing of their last album and of A Sun That Never Sets. This is going to one of the best albums of the year.
Lol??? Both albums should be great.
Digging: Ghost B.C. - Infestissumam
that gave me goosebumps and i don't even praise this band nearly as highly as you dweebs, the last line he says in the teaser was awesome
Digging: P.O.S. - Audition
I didn't compare Neurosis with Enslaved... You can't compare them. I said that both bands are great and their new albums hopefully will slay.
I didn't say Neurosis can't do better than Enslaved, nor did I compare the two. I just said that, already having had a promo of the Enslaved album for a while, I am not sure if the new Neurosis album will be better than the new Enslaved album.
"RIITIIR" is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion. It may not be as good as "Through Silver in Blood" or "A Sun That Never Sets", but it is certainly the best album I have heard this year thus far.
^ Oh, and of course there is "The Seer" (my copy of which has only just turned up)...but Swans are on such a higher plain that I'm not sure comparing them to other bands if fair.
Swans >
I think Neurosis themselves would agree with me and DoubtGin...
I don't really have one - I thought maybe you did...?
So do I - it's because they are incredible superhumans
this just killed my doubts about this album
gonna rule
I don't think it's leaked
@BaselineOOO: Calm down, it's only a meaningless Sputnik new article.
made a mess of myself, thanks teaser
so stocked for this one, listening to times of grace right now m/
I know these guys probably wouldn't do this but I would kill to see them release a live DVD.
Never really listened to them before but I'm hoping this album is the one that makes get into the band. Teaser was cool.
Very nice teaser.
Digging: Wishbone Ash - Argus
I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.
Digging: Rosetta - Quintessential Ephemera
you can sink your arrow into my buttocks any time.
there are just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence...
shit band
I grew an insane boner watching the vid.
"shit band."
I'm sure you've never heard of them or you're too dumb to realize how amazing they are
maybe neurosis will be good on this one
exactly my thoughts
gonna own hard
sounded bad :]
Digging: Mourning Beloveth - Dust
so what
sounds cool, SK & SVT are cool dudes.
holy fuck fuck i am so fucking stoked my boner is going to pop a blood vessel
"sounded bad :]"
ur dum :]
ur a dummypants! [:
Gonna be best Neurosis
Digging: Virtue - We Stand to Fight
I'm sure you've never heard of them or you're too dumb to realize how amazing they are
baseline you never make sense
who would want to make sense?
So much faggotry itt
Digging: Volahn/Shataan/Arizmenda/Kallathon - Desert Dances and Serpent Sermons
I've listened to neurosis for 6+ years now so I'm not the only one assuming
Well I started listening to them before they were even a band.
so I'm not this only one assuming I guess
I like how you try to change it by correcting my grammar I messed up my words a bit damn fucking grammar nazi.
it wasn't a case of misspelling or punctuation, I couldn't give a fuck about that. The sentence did not make sense, I didn't even know what you were trying to say before you, in hindsight, corrected yourself. Now that I do know, I still don't care. enjoy your weekend!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The European Union's Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger wants to hold gas talks over the telephone with Russia on Friday, Energy Minister Alexander Novak was quoted on Tuesday as saying.
"We will hold the telephone conversation, agree a meeting, discuss issues related to the South Stream pipeline and the pumping of gas to underground storage," Interfax news agency quoted Novak as saying in the Russian southern city of Vladikavkaz.
Novak added Russia was not going to change its offer in a gas price dispute with Ukraine that is threatening to disrupt supplies to the EU.

And for exhibit B, please direct your attention to China.
In Mexico Walmart grows faster than in many countries because there is no regulations and because Mr. Ebrard Casaubon was a member of the executives senior group in Walmart Mexico and brother of the Mexico Citys governor. In mexican case is well known that for every job that Walmart creates 4 people (entrepreneur or from small companies) losses his jobs.
My old doorknobs were made in Mexico, new ones are made in communist red china. Walmart is making china rich. US Congress and Senate have passed resolution against china regarding its trading practices, its currency exchange system etc and US has filed charges in World Trade Organization WTO against china. Walmart profits from these dubious practices and needs to be challenged.
What's Next for Wal-Mart? More bribing job killing business as usual.
$24m is pretty cheap, i would thought walmart would have been squeezed for more
of course, here we call them campaign contributions, which makes it so much morally superior
Probably the best move for them would be to change their marketing strategy. Like going forward, getting cheaper products from places like China to sell in the US market.
Not one individual was charged on Sarbanes-Oxley for the sub-prime mortgage fiasco so why should anyone at Walmart go down on the Foreign Corruption Practices Act, it's all smoke and mirrors. Corporate America has bought and paid for the courts and congress.
How about some jail time and fines that would be 100% of Wallmarts annual profits.
In the USA, these payments are called "political contributions. "
It's still illegal ..e every executive that participated in the cover up need to go to jail. Rob blogoyavich ring a bell.
It is an election year in the USA.
This prosecution is just a blatant attempt by the current USA administration to extort campaign contributions, far in excess of 24 million dollars, from Wal-Mart.
I recently had charges placed on my debit card from a walmart in illinois store number1892/1933. the interesting part is i live in california. I was shock when i saw the amounts charger. i couldnt believe no one asked to see a ID. I have five kids and a fixed income. i sent emails to walmart with no response. i will never shop there. i am also tell anyone else i meet to never shop there. in fact i called the stores and they responsed with maybe i should ask my police to call illinois police department to make a report. Lack of empthy . I felt they could care less.
Nice work, Thanks
Nice work, regards

Chester Scott back with an eye on top four
Relevant offers
Incumbent Chester Scott has beaten off two impressive rivals to land the South Canterbury Heartland head coaching job for a further two years.
Scott said he was delighted to be reappointed. "It will be another good challenge."
Scott's position was under threat after he failed to get the side into Meads Cup top four of the Heartland Championships after two years at the helm. Before that, he was assistant to Simon Scott before they swapped roles.
This year South Canterbury won their first piece of Heartland silverware, the Lochore Cup, which goes to the fifth-placed team.
Off-field distractions over the past two years have not helped the side.
The two candidates to miss out were former Highlanders assistant Barry Matthews and former All Black Victor Simpson, who had New Zealand Universities listed among the sides he had coached.
The fourth applicant, Celtic coach Nigel Walsh, withdrew before the interviews.
Scott said he felt for the two coaches who missed out: "They are very good coaches."
He said he put his own success down to "pretty thorough" preparation. "We did a plan for a the next couple of years, we want to build a culture and team that can not only make the top four but stay there."
Scott said he was already working towards the 2014 season.
The South Canterbury Rugby Union rubber-stamped the recommendation by the appointment panel of Dave Perrin, James Jowsey and Grant Norton.
Union chairman Brent Isbister said the board was happy that a robust and independent interview process had occurred.
"There were a number of good-quality candidates apply which meant it was a very competitive and close contest.
"It is pleasing that a coach who is from our region and has developed himself here has the passion to continue coaching the green and blacks."
Isbister said each candidate had up to 10 minutes to give a presentation on "where the South Canterbury rugby team would be in the future" and then were asked questions about their presentation.
Scott has not yet named his assistant but South Canterbury sevens coach Gareth Burgess is shaping as the most likely candidate after Simon Scott was no longer available because of work commitments.
Isbister said the next stage was selecting the remaining management team, a process which would begin once they had met Scott to discuss his preferences.
He hoped those decisions would be made before Christmas.
Matthews, who has won a Heartland Championship with North Otago, said he was disappointed to have missed out.
"Obviously I was very keen on the job, but I want to wish Chester all the best."

text: Stateside this is the correct one Michigan Radio/PSC poll finds no strong support for Snyder's DPS funding plan By Michigan Radio Newsroom • May 27, 2015 Sarah Cwiek / Michigan Radio Voters believe providing education for Detroit students is the state's duty, but don't think Governor Snyder's recent proposal is the way to do it, according a recent poll conducted by Public Sector Consultants and Michigan Radio. Of the 600 likely voters polled, 82% agreed the state has an obligation to provide a quality education to all kids in Detroit, but answers varied when it came down to how to fund that education. 'SEAM' explores the plight of women during the Bangladesh Liberation War By Stateside Staff • May 27, 2015 Jamaal May Tarfia Faizullah was born in Brooklyn, raised in Texas, and now makes her home in Detroit. Her first book of poems called Seam, won the Crab Orchard Series in Poetry First Book Award. The poems bring us the stories of the 200,000 to 400,000 Bangladeshi women who were raped during that country's 1971 Liberation War, a conflict that saw East Pakistan and India at war with West Pakistan. That war led to the birth of the Bangladeshi republic. An inside look at the life and times of the semi-trailer By Stateside Staff • May 27, 2015 Fruehauf Trailer Historical Society The name "Fruehauf" is an iconic one in American transportation history. It was 1914 when a Detroit blacksmith named August Fruehauf came up with a creative way to help lumber barons haul even more lumber and make even more money. The result became the semi-trailer. Its descendants can be seen to this day, rumbling across the highways of the world. Ruth Ann Fruehauf is August's granddaughter. Stateside for Tuesday, May 26, 2015 By Stateside Staff • May 26, 2015 On today's program: There are some 37,000 names in the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry, but there are questions about whether the registry is doing what it is intended to do. A discussion with Chris Skellenger of "Buckets of Rain." Skellenger moved from a landscape company on the Leelanau Peninsula to urban farming near Detroit. Viviana Pernot talks about her short film about the homeless in Ann Arbor and those who help them. The film is called "The M.I.S.S.I.O.N." There's a new idea floating around the state Capitol about how to boost funding for roads. Some say legalizing and taxing marijuana would help. The name "Fruehauf" is an iconic one in American transportation history. It was a Detroit-based blacksmith, August Fruehauf, who invented a semi-trailer to haul lumber. New film sheds light on Ann Arbor homeless community By Stateside Staff • May 26, 2015 Viviana Pernot Listen Listening... / 6:59 Our interview with Viviana Pernot. You might have heard of Camp Take Notice, the tent city in Ann Arbor that was forced to close nearly three years ago. Viviana Pernot has made a short documentary film about that homeless community and the non-profit group that helps them. Is Michigan's sex offender registry actually protecting us? By Stateside Staff • May 26, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 10:10 Professor J.J. Prescott talks about Michigan's sex offender list. There are some 37,000 names listed in the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Michigan has the fourth-highest per-capita number of people on its list. But there are questions about Michigan's registry – whether it's really keeping us as safe as we like to think. People with misdemeanor offenses are listed alongside rapists, pedophiles, and hard-core offenders. A federal judge recently declared parts of Michigan's registry law to be too vague, even unconstitutional. J.J. Prescott is a law professor at the University of Michigan. And he's a widely recognized authority on sex offender laws. Prescott says the state's attempt to monitor these sex offenders may actually contribute to recidivism, as those on the public list are ostracized from society. "It's public shaming to the point where somebody might actually say, what's the difference? I'm living as a pariah, miserably, outside of prison," says Prescott. Farmer from "Up North" focuses on bringing fresh food to Detroit By Stateside Staff • May 26, 2015 Buckets of Rain / Facebook Listen Listening... / 9:54 Our interview with Chris Skellenger. Chris Skellenger likes to say he's gone from ornamental to survival horticulture. That's because he used to run a landscape company and nursery near his home in Empire on the Leelenau Peninsula, but these days he drives each week to Highland Park where he tends an urban farm that produces fresh food for people whose nearest food source might just be a gas station or convenience store. "Legalize, regulate, and tax" – state lawmaker has an idea for road funding By Stateside Staff • May 26, 2015 Brett Levin / creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Listen Listening... / 5:06 State Rep. Brandon Dillon says we should "legalize, regulate, and tax" marijuana in Michigan. As state lawmakers search for ways to come up with the money needed to fix Michigan's battered and bumpy roads, one state representative tossed out this idea: Legalize and tax marijuana, and then put that new revenue to work. State Rep. Brandon Dillon, D-Grand Rapids, joins us today to talk about this idea. Listen to a special LIVE SHOW - Stateside live in Grand Rapids By Mark Brush • May 21, 2015 Larry Jonas / Michigan Radio Stateside with Cynthia Canty went on the road for a live show from the Grand Rapids Art Museum. The show aired on May 21, 2015 and featured the following guests: "The Girl Ran Wild" a poem by Stephanie Glazier By Stateside Staff • May 21, 2015 Becky Shink Our ongoing series "Poetically Speaking" continues. On occasion we will bring you interviews with poets and writers, or we will post a poem, like this one, for your enjoyment.

The Rialto Theater celebrates successful crowdfunding campaign and 100th anniversary By Stateside Staff • May 20, 2015 Jordan Stancil Listen Listening... / 7:26 Our interview with Jordan Stancil Small-town movie theaters are in a fight for their lives. Hollywood studios are phasing out 35-millimeter film in favor of going digital. This means theaters are feeling the pressure to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade their facilities, or be forced to close their doors. One such theater is The Rialto, about to mark its 100th anniversary in Grayling. Jordan Stancil's great-grandfather founded the Rialto Theater in 1915. The Rialto ran a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to raise money to upgrade its systems, and Stancil tells us they raised over $100,000 with the support of current and former residents of Grayling. Downtown Detroit: private security in a public space By Stateside Staff • May 20, 2015 user Tom Page / flickr Listen Listening... / 9:34 We talk to Nancy Kaffer about her most recent column in the Detroit Free Press. As Dan Gilbert keeps buying buildings in downtown Detroit – more than 70, now – we're seeing the prospect of new businesses, new tenants, and new people downtown. Detroit Free Press columnist Nancy Kaffer wonders what this means in terms of private security and public space. Texting and driving: Blame the brain By Stateside Staff • May 20, 2015 user Jason Weaver / flickr Listen Listening... / 9:58 Our conversation with Joseph Bayer It's pretty common knowledge that texting while driving is dangerous. But for some reason, many of us still do it. A study released from AT&T tries to shed some light on just how distracted we are by our smartphones while driving. On top of texting, the AT&T survey finds 27% of drivers between 16 and 65 admit to Facebooking when they drive, and 14% use Twitter, with a full 30% of those folks admitting they tweet "all the time" while driving. New bill seeks to restrict public access to information about energy infrastructure By Stateside Staff • May 20, 2015 user toffehoff / flickr Listen Listening... / 5:53 An interview with Keith Matheny, environmental reporter for the Detroit Free Press. A bill just introduced in the State House would draw a veil over information about oil and gas pipelines, electrical lines and other key pieces of energy infrastructure. Under House Bill 4540, backed by State Rep. Kurt Heise, R-Plymouth, that information would be exempt from the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, making it no longer available to the public.

Author Anna Clark explores Michigan's rich literary history By Stateside Staff • May 19, 2015 Michelle and Chris Gerard Listen Listening... / 10:22 Listen to our interview with Anna Clark. Michigan has a long and well-known history of car manufacturing, mining, logging, and agriculture. But there's something else this state produces: writers. Anna Clark's new book explores the lives of ten of Michigan's most notable writers. Michigan Literary Luminaries: from Elmore Leonard to Robert Hayden is a collection of essays that are not just biographies. Stateside for Monday, May 18, 2015 By Stateside Staff • May 18, 2015 Listen Listening... / 48:23 Stateside for Monday May 18th, 2015 Today on Stateside: State lawmakers want to reform no-fault auto insurance ... and if they pass a bill, they want to make sure voters cannot challenge it. How? By attaching an appropriation! Former congressman Joe Schwarz talks about what's wrong and what's right about the proposal. Plus ... bird flu has led to the culling of millions of chickens and turkeys in the Midwest. What's in store for Michigan's bird industry? Dr. James Averill tells us it's not a matter of if, but when this disease will impact Michigan. Did you know? Whenever the governor leaves Michigan, he leaves his powers behind and someone else in charge. So why is Lansing reluctant to tell us that? Dennis Lennox is a columnist for The Morning Sun. He recently wrote about what he call "Michigan's acting governor mystery." In 1918, 30,000 U.S. military officers stood in the formation of a shield for a now-famous photograph to help improve public support for World War I. Historian Louis Kaplan explains why the photograph taken at Camp Custer is so important. There's much attention being paid these days to the DIA's retrospective on Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. And that's got Chris Cook mulling over the Mexican concept of malinchismo. Chris is HOUR Detroit's Chief Wine and Restaurant Critic. Remembering the famous "living photograph" taken at Camp Custer By Stateside Staff • May 18, 2015 Ford Motor Company Collection, Gift of Ford Motor Company and John C. Waddell, 1987 Listen Listening... / 9:12 Kaplan talks about 'The Human US Shield' and its lasting impact on photography. Imagine choreographing thousands of people into formations to look like famous things like the Liberty Bell, or the Statue of Liberty. Sound like a stunt? Maybe a little nutty? Well, that's exactly what Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas did in the early 20th century. Is the DIA ready to sell a Van Gogh? By Stateside Staff • May 14, 2015 Quick fix / flickr.com Listen Listening... / 4:27 Detroit News columnist Laura Berman discusses the possibility of the DIA selling Van Gogh's "Life with Carnations." It's a question that will attract more attention than it might have before Detroit's bankruptcy raised the spectre of selling off the Detroit Institute of Arts collection to help pay down the city's crushing debt. Fortunately, the DIA survived unscathed, thanks to $100 million raised by long-time donors.

It's easy to take for granted the leaps and bounds medical science has made in the last two centuries.

But you might be surprised to learn that tiny Bellow Island (colloquially known as Gull Island, off the shore of Northport in Leelanau County) played a huge role in convincing the government to ban DDT.

Personal Question... How do you see yourself?
I posted a while back that I once sort of freaked a bit when I looked at myself in the mirror and realised how much I had physically changed.....in a good way It still weirds me about a bit to this day when I wake up in the morning and touch my chest and rib cage and I stomach and it feels so different to , what it felt like for literally decades so much .less of me......in a good way :-) Sort of really really weird and what has probably caused the most comment is my face shape I always have had a roundish face now it's far more angular lean with a more distinct chin, cheek bones ..it's not what I have been used to seeing ......in a good way

I take exception to that and argue that a consistent common sense approach which is the only validated one is right here and available I don't NEED to post here I reached, surpassed and maintained my target these people are telling you what to do have not The most dangerous being hey you don't need to exercise to lose weight just eat LC , I think that is more offensive than anything I have said You do as you feel if this pathetic campaign succeeds so be it Personally it doesn't affect me The worse thing I ever heard was a LC zealot tell a vulnerable young woman struggling with her weight to put her head on the image of a model pin it to her wall and try to work towards it as a goal Hardly anyone here apart from myself and 1 or 2 others batted an eyelid Note THAT is disgraceful Oh and apparently I'm autistic and schizophrenic as well.

@mmoodd69 1. I have explained why I don't weigh myself I reached and surpassed my goal and my physical size has not changed except to get a bit leaner. I measure myself by how my clothes fit and how I look which is a far btter indicator than weight once you hit your target. You are clearly fixated on my appearance as you constantly refer to it , a sign of a behavioural disorder and possibly OCD for the record UNLESS you post a picture of yourself how can anyone confirm whether any weight loss or success is real? post YOUR picture as until you or anyone else does it might as well be complete fiction . no one knows what you have done you are just saying it! 2.I am merely point out the truth P&B has changed her mind about eating and posting on the positives of carbs and all of a sudden is going towards LC simply because her scale hasn't moved that is a factual account of what she has said 3. seeing as she started a thread SPECIFICALLY to insult me and cll me names I think I have been quite restrained especially as she has thanked me for my advice in the past! 4.you call me judgemental but you make continuous comments on my appearance 5.you and others constantly repeat your LC dogma of which there is no proven scientific advantage I am not the only one to point this out yet you constantly insist it does..i find this repetitive, obsessive, blind to the accepted facts 6. I treat Men and women the same , be rude to me and I shall be rude to them equally I think that's called equality. MS Rocker made all sorts of nasty sexist personal comments about my wife without any provocation of any description by me , I retorted she crys foul... I call that hypocritical, the fact that she is a woman is irrelevant. \s for clueless well I quoted her own phrase back at her to make a point 7. Am I autistic or schizophrenic..no I am very successful at what I do for a living have lots of friends of both genders and all backgrounds am happily married with a beautiful son ..No your not close at all just misguided as per usual 8.I have no idea what MFP is ??? 9.I am an outgoing person in the real world not quiet not especially loud , you keep thinking you know the truth but its Really just noise in your head I think you have some personal mental health issues but I would recommend you seek professional help rather than try amateur psycho analysis as seems to be your forte 10. You KNOW nothing that you think you do but I do know one thing.....you are obsessed with my appearance and it makes me uncomfortable very pleased I made the decision to wear sunglasses in that picture knowing the perils of then internet and the personality types it sometimes attracts Your comments are not FULL of anything except HOT AIR and jealousy.... Please DONT post again but just read this and know your your own inadequacies have been exposed to the core

The final few home games at Citi have the potential to give the fans something to remember.
After going 1-for-4 with a home run on Sunday, third baseman David Wright stands just four hits away from breaking Ed Kranepool's franchise record of 1,418 hits. Meanwhile R.A. Dickey will try to become the team's first 20-game winner in 22 years when he faces Pittsburgh in the home finale Thursday.
To Wright, though, it's hard to get caught up in a personal milestone while the team struggles.
"I think R.A. would agree with me but it's tough to pat yourself on the back and enjoy these individual accolades when the team has struggled the way we have in the second half," Wright said on Sunday. "It's extremely bittersweet and difficult to enjoy, no question. Ultimately, you go out there for one reason and that's to win and we haven't able to do that in the second half. I'll be able to enjoy the personal accomplishments after I'm done playing, not while playing because I don't think that's the way that I'm programmed. It's tough to be satisfied with what you do individually when the team has struggled the way we have."
Wright currently has 1,415 hits after recording his 19th homer and notching his 84th RBI against the Marlins on Sunday. He's got 10 games left this season, four of which are at home, to become the new flag-bearer for the team.
"It's always fun to get hits whether you're closing in on some sort of milestone or not," Wright said. "You try to go up there and get hits every at-bat. Obviously it's special to me, but hits are fun, regardless of the situation."
Mets manager Terry Collins hopes to see Wright set the mark in Flushing.
"I hope David gets his hits here in the next few days so he breaks that record at home because I think he's such a big figure with our team and such a big figure in this city that it would be nice to have him break that record in front of our home fans," Collins said.

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/26/14 -- Today, AltaGas Ltd. Chairman and CEO, David Cornhill was on hand to present a $500,000 cheque to the Indian Business Corporation (IBC), an Aboriginal Financial Institution, during an announcement at the Chinook Lodge Aboriginal Resource Centre on the campus of SAIT Polytechnic. This ground-breaking agreement allows an Aboriginal Financial Institution to partner with an organization outside of government to create a pool of capital to help finance First Nations entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses.
"AltaGas is always seeking new opportunities to create sustainable social value," said David Cornhill, Chairman and CEO of AltaGas. "I know firsthand how important it was to have financial support when we started AltaGas 20 years ago and we wanted to be able to do the same for others, but specifically for First Nations entrepreneurs. Through this agreement with IBC, AltaGas is able to support the creation and growth of sources of revenue for First Nations."
Through the AltaGas First Nations Development Fund, AltaGas has agreed to an interest-free $500,000 loan to IBC that will be paid in instalments over the next five years. IBC typically receives funding from Aboriginal Business Canada so this funding agreement will boost IBC's capacity to finance viable First Nations entrepreneurs in Alberta as demand for IBC's lending services outstrips its capital.
"AltaGas' investment in Indian Business Corporation means more First Nations entrepreneurs will get financing to start or grow their businesses," said Rob Rollingson, General Manager of IBC. "We know this kind of investment helps companies deepen their community relationships while increasing individual self-sufficiency and will create positive social outcomes. This contribution demonstrates that AltaGas is a leader and social innovator in advancing opportunities for First Nations entrepreneurs."
About AltaGas
AltaGas is an energy infrastructure business with a focus on natural gas, power and regulated utilities. The Corporation creates value by acquiring, growing and optimizing its energy infrastructure, including a focus on clean energy sources. For more information visit: www.altagas.ca.
About Indian Business Corporation
Established in 1987, the Indian Business Corporation provides financing for First Nations peoples in Western Canada. We believe access to capital for First Nations peoples provides opportunities for success and development. For more information visit: www.indianbc.ca.

They say that you can find a Barbadian in just about every corner of the globe. Italy is no different. For Patricia Lowe, Italy has been her home for the last 20 years. "I moved here when I was 19 because I wanted to learn the language and spend a year here," Patricia recalled. "I ended up spending 20 because I met somebody and ended up getting married and have my two boys, Christopher and Michael Serazzi. By now I am a pro at the Italian language and the cuisine." Travelling was always important to Patricia, who was born in Britain. The idea of experiencing different places and cultures was something she started since the age of 16 by going to the United States, Australia and Hungary. "I like exploring. I like change," she said. "I am the person that every five years once you get the learning curve down, it's like what do I do next." But somehow Italy held Patricia's interest and her love. It gave her an opportunity to put down roots. It was also where she discovered her passion — music. "My interest in music came about a year after moving to Italy," Patricia said. "My husband who is a musician discovered me one day singing under the shower. It was said we could do something with this voice." And do something they did. From there Patricia's singing career was launched. "My husband is more into rock and pop music," she said. In fact Patricia's first album Finally features songs written by herself and her husband as well as an impressive rendition of Prince's When Doves Cry plus a tribute to her mother called When You Dance. Though she was happy to be singing and performing pop, which she did all over Italy and in parts of Europe, she eventually veered off into the world of jazz. "I found myself more in touch with the music," Patricia said. "An uncle of my mother was a jazz musician, and my mum always took me to see him perform in London. But a certain point I realized it was more than me." That pull towards the jazz music scene caused Patricia to really launch out on her own and create jazz music for her first solo album Smiling Inside. She juggled producing this album with raising her two sons and caring for her family, which meant she often had to be creative with her time. "It meant I was going to the studio late at night, recording and talking to the musicians," Patricia said. This was unchartered territory for her (dealing with musicians) because in the past it was her husband who handled those issues, but here she was doing it on her own. The album which is afro-jazz contains songs that are very personal to Patricia, who says she has a deep connection with each one. The album opens with a poem called Sun Song written by one of Patricia's favourite authors, Langston Hughes. Perhaps in many ways this album has seen Patricia come into her own as a solo artist, exploring a genre of music that is dear to her heart. "The album was produced in London and when the first CD came across I was very excited about it," Patricia said. "I did it all on my own and I was really happy about it. "It felt like I was giving birth to another child because the whole project took nine months. But it felt like I had achieved something great. That's why I called it Smiling Inside, because I was smiling when I did it." Patricia wasn't the only one smiling. Though it was a departure from working with her husband, he was especially proud of his wife. "He is proud to see that I can get it done on my own," Patricia added. For the first time, Patricia will be appearing before a Barbadian audience for this month's Naniki Caribbean Jazz Safari, something she is eagerly looking forward to. "This is my first time performing in Barbados, so I'm excited and worried," Patricia said. "I'm kicking off the festival ahead of T.S. Monk, so it's something I'm looking forward to."
