Poyet eyes home advantage
by Kate Smith
Home sweet home for Gus.
Gus Poyet has been at the Stadium of Light many times throughout his career, and now the new Sunderland head coach is looking forward to being on the home side.
The Uruguayan has visited the home of the Black Cats with former clubs Chelsea and Tottenham on a number of occasions but cites his trip to Wearside with the Blues back in 1999 as one of the worst moments of his career.
Gianluca Vialli's Chelsea side were victims of a 4-1 reverse, after a stunning first half performance from Peter Reid's men, including two goals apiece for Kevin Phillips and Niall Quinn sending the red and white army into raptures.
"It goes down as one of my worst experiences as a player," Poyet told safc.com.
"Chelsea were 4-0 down at half time. It was one of the worst half times of my career. The Stadium of Light is not the nicest place to be when you're losing.
"I did manage to score in the last few minutes, but it made no difference at that stage. I'm looking forward to being on the home side this time around."
During his four seasons managing at Brighton, Poyet turned the AMEX Stadium into somewhat of a fortress. In the club's first season in the Championship they lost just seven home league games.
It's a record the new head coach is pleased with and something he would like to see happen at the Stadium of Light.
Poyet was a keen spectator during Sunderland's last two fixtures at the SoL and believes the crowd is still just as loud as they were on his first visit.
"From what I've seen there is a great connection and great atmosphere at the Stadium of Light.
"The idea is to get stronger and give the fans something to enjoy. We need to get to win points and give them some good football to watch.
"I want them to feel proud of being a Sunderland fan."

If you're an Iron Man buff, here are the pics confirming that The Iron Patriot is in Iron Man 3, with James Badge Dale in thesuit. He's cast as Eric Savin, not Norman Osborn, so chew on that.
Eric Savin is actually Coldblood, a cyborg soldier in the Marvel Universe.
So something is up.
The Iron Patriot is an amalgam of Iron Man and Captain America.
If you're not an Iron Man comic book aficionado, then you'll be interested to learn that Spider-Man's nemesis, The Green Goblin (as played by Willem Dafoe in the first Sam Raimi film) is also The Iron Patriot in the Iron Man universe. Yes, Spider-Man and Iron Man are in the same universe, which is cool.
The Iron Patriot's armour features superhuman strength, enhanced durability via a pliable crystalline material with a molecular structure that can collimate into super-hard planes upon the application of an electrical field, flight, magnetic impact blasts, heat seeking missiles, miniaturized lasers, flamethrowers, and a communications system housed in his helmet which allowed him to interface with any U.S.-controlled satellite or computer network.
It does not utilise Tony Stark's repulsor technology.
The events leading up to Norman Osborn becoming the Iron Patriot are filled with spoilers, so I won't go into them here – you should read Marvel Comics 'Civil War' saga to find out more.

College Hockey:Saving the Best for Last
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — It was potentially the final game of his collegiate career. In his four years, he'd never been a marquee name. In fact, he'd scored only four goals at Providence, none in the last two years.
If you wanted headlines, you'd think of forwards Devin Rask, Peter Fregoe and Drew Omicioli. Or co-captain defensemen Matt Libby and Jay Leach. Or goaltenders Nolan Schaefer and Boyd Ballard.
Not fourth-liner Cole Gendreau. Headlines were for other guys. Gendreau was one of those unsung heroes who labor in relative anonymity, vital to a team's success, but rarely recognized for their efforts.
"He's a tremendous role player for us," said PC coach Paul Pooley after the Friars' double-overtime victory over Boston University to advance to the Hockey East semifinals. "He's a tremendous team guy who works hard.
"I never, ever question Cole's work ethic or his desire. He's always there and is always positive. He always does his job. He gives us size and strength."
Gendreau gave his team a little more than size and strength on this night. In what would have been the last game of his collegiate career if the Friars lost, he scored on his first shift of the game.
It wasn't the game-winner. As an early goal, it would likely be overlooked in this marathon that lasted over 96 minutes, the longest Hockey East game of all time and the eighth longest in NCAA history.
But to win in overtime, you have to get to overtime. And since BU goaltender Sean Fields had stopped 37 of 38 shots the night before, putting one past him early was a major contribution for a player primarily expected to use his 6-2, 220 pound body to make big hits.
"It was a tremendous goal for him to score on his first shift," said Pooley. "I'm very, very happy for him."
Gendreau was pretty happy about it, too.
"For me, goals don't come too easily," he said. "I'm usually out there and if I make the big hit, I get our goalscorers to get going and that's fine. But it was fun being able to pop one in there. It definitely felt good."
Gendreau grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota, and like any other kid in hailing distance of Grand Forks wanted to wear the Fighting Sioux jersey.
"It was definitely my dream ever since I was little to be a member of the Fighting Sioux," he said. "It was always my goal."
— Cole Gendreau
Gendreau had even more reason than most. His older brother Brett, 11 years his senior, had been one of North Dakota's better scorers in his day.
"My brother was quite the [contrast] to me," said the junior Gendreau with a laugh. "He was a smaller kid, who had unbelievable hands. He was just a goalscorer who could play the game.
"He grew up in Canada and actually came to North Dakota as a young high school player. He was just an unreal player."
Cole, however, developed in a less advanced arena than his older brother and wasn't ready for Division I hockey after graduating from St. Mary's high school.
"I didn't really get recruited out of high school at all," he said. "Our high school hockey [in North Dakota] really isn't up to par as compared to Minnesota or Massachusetts prep schools. I knew that if I was going to play Division I, I had to go through juniors."
The lifelong Fighting Sioux fan went to an appropriate team in the United States Hockey League: the Sioux City Musketeers. He played there for two years, but attracted the most interest from Providence, not North Dakota.
Gendreau headed East and for four years has been a solid role player for the Friars. He's also been the classic model citizen, being named an Academic All-Star each year.
"If I didn't have hockey, I'd probably have more time to do things that I shouldn't do," he said with a laugh. "Hockey is a great thing for me. It makes me prioritize a lot of things."
As for being an unsung hero and Academic All-Star for Providence instead of North Dakota, Gendreau has no regrets.
"I wouldn't change this for the world," he said with a big smile. "I love this place and I love everyone associated with it. It's been a great four years. I couldn't ask for more."

When I first started this blog, I mentioned that 0nce in a while I would post some interesting material from the Annapolis Heritage Society's archives. Today seems like a good time to get started.
About two months ago, a member of the O'Dell family brought me a recipe book from 1880s to donate to the AHS archives. The purpose of an archive is to preserve manuscripts, photographs or other forms of documentation so that researchers or other interested people can find original source information in the future. The book is fairly small with a black paper cover and was handwritten by Fannie O'Dell. Since the AHS offices are located in the O'Dell House Museum, the former O'Dell family residence, I am always excited when artifacts and archival material related to the family are donated.
The recipe book in question mainly contains recipes for cakes although there are a few other desserts. By reading the book, you can easily learn some things about the author and her times. You can immediately tell that Fannie was an experienced cook as she has not included any instructions for mixing or baking the cakes. From the titles of the recipes you can see some of the ongoing influence of New England in lives of Nova Scotians. In the 1880s a great number of local residents were heading to find work in the mills around Lynn, Massachusetts. There also would have been an ongoing trade in the fisheries between Nova Scotia and "the Boston States". Some of Fannie's recipes have titles like Boston Sheet Cake and Boston Ginger Snaps. You will also see that these are very simple recipes. The most exotic ingredient in any of the recipes is lemon which, in the 1880s, would have been imported fresh on one of the sailing vessels arriving on the Annapolis Royal waterfront. Most of the ingredients were simple and readily available.
As I mentioned, Fannie does not include directions. While I will not presume to invent those details, I would feel fairly safe in recommending that dry and wet ingredients are mixed separately and the cake is baked in a 350 degree oven. Let me know if someone tries this cake.
Tea Cake
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
3 eggs
4 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon soda
By the way, there is no connection between the image of the Annapolis Royal lighthouse and the rest of this post. This entry just seemed a bit dry without a photograph.
All for now,

Most atheists simply do not have a god belief. Some atheists are fundamentalists about it.
We use "Positive Atheism" differently than others do, which to them means saying that no gods exist. We use "Positive Atheism" to mean a form of morality without gods.
We do not oppose all religions, just religious expression that intrudes upon the lives of the rest of us. We respect any private expression of religion, and denounce only that religion which forces itself upon others.
We even go so far as to believe that religious people think they have valid reasons for being religious -- who are we to argue with someone's reasons for being religious? This does not mean that we think those are valid reasons for us being religious, but we will not try to talk someone out of their private religious beliefs -- we will only try to stop them from making their religion the law of the land.
Also, when people try to convince us to join their religion, we will explain to them why we don't believe. But this is only when they bring it up. I never walk up to a religious person and try to set them straight.

Norway, Spain, Switzerland and Ukraine remain perfect after February wins in qualifying matches for the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015.
Two days of qualifiers in Europe were played on Feb. 12 and Feb. 13, with 16 teams involved in eight matches.
On Wednesday, Switzerland won its fourth-straight match while Portugal improved to 2-0-2 after a 7-1 win.
In a vital Group Five match, Belgium drew 1-1 away against the Netherlands, who played the last 10 minutes with just 10 players on the pitch.
The Netherlands-Belgium draw (both teams are even on 10 points after five matches) allowed Norway to take command of the group standings with a win on Thursday. Norway won its away match 5-0 over Greece and now has 12 points after five matches.
And Ukraine won an away game 1-0 over Turkey while Serbia was victorious by a score of 3-0 on the road over Malta.
From Group Two, both Italy (6-1 over Czech Republic) and Spain (12-0 over FYR Macedonia) won on Thursday.

The mention of an air mattress can conjure up memories of neck crimps from a night on a friend's floor back in college, trying to sleep on a hard plastic raft passing as a bed. AeroBed has changed that perception of airbeds of yore. The luxury air mattress company has outdone itself with its Raised Headboard Bed, a 22-inch high air bed with a faux headboard that actually looks like a real bed, and surprising feels almost like a real bed.
This bed solves one of the most annoying problems of airbeds, of pillows falling off the bed. Most air mats must be shoved against a wall to keep the pillows on it. The headboard, which inflates together with the sleeping surface, gives the bed a finished look, which looks decent in a room if the bed must be set up in a room for several days or longer.
Also gone are the days of pumping up an air bed with a step-on pump. This high-tech bed inflates in minutes with a built-in electronic pump. When it's time to put the bed away, it deflates with the same speed using a Whoosh valve. The bed can then be packed away compactly in its own storage bag.
While it's no "Sleep by Number" mattress, this model has seven firmness settings. The bed's height is similar to a real bed, so it is easier to get in and out of, rather than being one step up from sleeping on the floor, as it is with many competitor air beds.
While you still can tell by its feel that this is an airbed -- not an innerspring mattress, the 100-percnet PVC covering is soft and felt-like, not plastic feeling and sweat-inducing like some air mats. For short-term guests or a temporary situation, this bed is perfectly suitable and quite comfortable, and for the first time ever, your guests might even say your air mattress is downright stylish. Twin $199 to Queen $299 at Bed Bath & Beyond.

The Latest...
New Release Round-Up 06-24-16
THE AVETT BROTHERS - True Sadness - Republic
In a heartfelt personal letter penned by Seth Avett, Grammy Award®-nominated alternative folk collective The Avett Brothers revealed details of their new album, True Sadness [American/Republic Records]. The first single is titled Ain't No Man. The record reflects THE AVETT BROTHERS artistic, musical, and personal evolution over 16 years as a band. Eloquently describing what's to come on the horizon, Seth writes, True Sadness is a patchwork quilt, both thematically and stylistically. Wherein a myriad of contrasting fabrics make perfect sense on the same plane, this album draws upon countless resources from its writers and performers. He goes on to cite pervasive and cornerstone influences such as, Queen, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Jimmie Rodgers, Tom Petty, Nine Inch Nails, Gillian Welch, Aretha Franklin, Walt Disney, Pink Floyd, Kings of Convenience, calypso of the 1950 s and country of the 1930's. Most importantly, he assures, Throughout the album, we stitched together the boldest red and the calmest green, polka dots and stripes, the roughest denim and the smoothest velveteen. They came together because they are the best patterns we have and because each of us brought our own fabric to the quilting frame.
RICH ROBINSON - Flux - Eagle Records
With Flux, Rich Robinson presents his most accomplished solo album to date--13 new, original songs that draw deeply on his diverse roots. A blues-rock odyssey straight from Robinson's soul, the guitarist returned to Applehead Studios in Saugerties, NY, the recording facility that has become his creative hub. Nestled away within Woodstock's famed artist enclave, Robinson's work at the studio has yielded Woodstock Sessions, The Ceaseless Sight, and now Flux.
DEERHOOF - The Magic - Polyvinyl Records
After all the accolades from press and peers, what's a legendary band to do? Forget the recording studio, rent out an abandoned office space in the middle of the New Mexico desert, set up, plug in and play REALLY LOUD. Starting with hardly a notion of the outcome, by seven days later Deerhoof had found (you guessed it) The Magic: a raw and refreshing 15-song wallop of an album about what happens when you leave your comfort zone.
NEIL YOUNG & THE PROMISE OF THE REAL - Earth - Reprise
"98 uninterrupted minutes long, Earth flows as a collection of 13 songs from throughout my life, songs I have written about living here on our planet together. our animal kingdom is well represented in the audience as well and the animals, insects, birds and mammals actually take over the performances of the songs at times." - Niel Young
WE ARE SCIENTISTS - Helter Seltzer - 100%
We Are Scientists, the Brooklyn, New York based power pop troupe return with their fifth album. Titled Helter Seltzer and released via 100% Records, it is preceded by the single release of 'Buckle', the album's opening track. For this album We Are Scientists asked their ex-keyboard player Max Hart to produce. Max had just finished a three-year stint as the keyboardist for international super-mega-person Katy Perry, choosing as his final gig Ms. Perry's performance at the 2015 Super Bowl. After a number of small producing projects squeezed in between tours, he was ready to roll up his sleeves and dive in. Max rented a studio space in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighbourhood, outfitting it with gear he had accumulated over a decade of obsessive internet shopping. In early March, the team got to work. At their disposal was a trove of new We Are Scientists demos as well as Max's inside-out familiarity with hits like 'Teenage Dream' and 'Firework' and 'Dark Horse.' Sifting through the options, a direction emerged: they would use the tones and trickery of radio pop to add a sweet sheen to the new crop of distinctively We Are Scientists songs. Months of toil and trial and error finally brought the right balance, and the finished recordings were shipped to mixer Chris Coady at Sunset Sound in L.A. Coady has quietly emerged in recent years as one of the finest mixers of glossy indie pop, with credits that include Future Islands, Beach House, and !!!. In 'Helter Seltzer' he knew he had an album that should shimmer but also bang, and he applied all of the magic and sauce at his disposal to insure it did exactly that. Finally, the music was passed through the deluxe mastering machine that are the ears of Greg Calbi (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Noel Gallagher, Perfume Genius) to add a coat of heft and sparkle, and in January of 2016, nearly a year after construction began, the album was pronounced complete.
THE EXPLORERS CLUB - Together - Goldstar Recordings
The Explorers Club mark their return with Together, the quintet's third album of harmony laden sounds. Hot off the heels of "Freedom Wind", their first release which showcased their Beach Boys influences, and the triumphant follow-up "Grand Hotel", an exploration of Classic soft pop ideals, "Together" is sure to be the soundtrack for Summer 2016. Jason Brewer, founder and visionary of the band, has patterned the album in the mold of post-Pet Sounds Beach Boys classics such as Friends, Sunflower and Love You, while adding his own unique touches and flourishes of inspiration with his band mates. Listeners can expect exquisite harmonies, tight musicianship, flowing melodies, and gorgeous vocals. Standout tracks include the modern sunshine doo-wop of "California's Calling Ya", the bouncy pop of "Once In A While" and the contemplative "Quietly". "Together" is a must for fans of well-crafted pop music.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - The Getaway - Warner Bros.

The women wrote all 14 songs and shared lead vocals equally, sometimes even within the same track. Full of stunning harmonies and spellbinding rhythms, case/lang/veirs travels through aches and eras, torch songs and tributes to the undersung. Vinyl available 7/14
JON PARDI - California Sunrise - Capitol Nashville
Capitol Records Nashville's Jon Pardi releases his highly-anticipated sophomore album, California Sunrise, on June 17. The album's lead single, Head Over Boots, is a swinging, mid-tempo tune and immediately connects with fans and gives a taste of what to expect from the California native's upcoming second studio album. Pardi is often commended for sticking to his traditional country roots. I always want to have the traditional country soul while meeting the new standards of country music, explains the country singer. As with traditional country music, much of the appeal comes from a compelling narrative. Pardi adds, As a songwriter, we're looking for a good story and we're always looking to push the limits. I love having those lyrics that at first make you think it's about one thing, but it's really about something so much more. In the studio, Pardi and Butler captured a palpable live energy on California Sunrise by recording each song with a full band. I'm a big fan of a live band recording and it was really important for me to get that sound on my record, says Pardi. The heart of this record comes across with a live band. We used seven guys - one band, and there's something special about that. California Sunrise is the follow-up to Pardi's celebrated debut album, Write You A Song, featuring his Gold-selling Top 10 hit, Up All Night, along with fan-favorites What I Can't Put Down, Missin You Crazy and When I've Been Drinkin.
ELIZABETH COOK - Exodus of Venus - Agent Love Music
Elizabeth Cook didn't quite know what she was doing. But she knew there were songs, and they had to get out. Six even years since her critically acclaimed Welder, as well as much personal tumult, there were songs that needed to be born. From Dexter Green's (also the album's producer) opening electric guitar, equal parts foreboding and fraught, Exodus of Venus hurls a churlish witness to erotic upheaval and the drives that subsume our best notions. Vinyl available 7/8
SARAH JAROSZ - Undercurrent - Sugar Hill
On Sarah Jarosz's fourth album, Undercurrent, the impact of being a full-time artist living in New York City is palpable. A gifted instrumentalist, singularly expressive vocalist and songwriter of rare insight, Jarosz anchors her new record with a haunting quartet of songs written and performed solo 'Early Morning Light,' 'Everything to Hide,' 'Take Another Turn' and 'Jacqueline.' She expands her palate from the swampy defiance of 'House of Mercy' to the nostalgic 'Back of My Mind.' Undercurrent captures the process of personal evolution and discovery as well as the inspirational nature of change. Vinyl available Now
MOGWAI - Atomic - Temporary Residence
Atomic, the new album by Scottish experimental rock legends Mogwai, is composed of reworked versions of the music recorded for the soundtrack to director Mark Cousins' acclaimed documentary Atomic: Living In Dread and Promise, which first aired on BBC Four last summer. Constructed entirely of archive film, Atomic is an impressionistic kaleidoscope of the horrors of our nuclear times - protest marches, Cold War sabre-rattling, Chernobyl and Fukishima - but also the sublime beauty of the atomic world, and how x-rays and MRI scans have improved human lives. Mogwai's soundtrack encapsulates the nightmare of the nuclear age, but its dreamlike qualities too. It is the latest in the band's series of impressive soundtracks and scores, following acclaimed albums Les Revenants (The Returned) and Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait. Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite says: "The Atomic soundtrack is one of the most intense and fulfilling projects we've taken on as a band. Ever since we went to Hiroshima to play and visited the peace park this has been a subject very close to us. The end results, both the film score and the record are pieces I'm extremely proud of."

Last night on "Tyrant" this new and fascinating story continued with Dr. Bassam "Barry" Al-Fayeed, -Adam Rayner-, along with wife and kids being removed from the plane, he had hoped would take them away from a land and a life he has strived to escape and succeeded for 20 years, but now it has brought him back.
Jamal, -Ashraf Barhom-, the eldest son and heir to the presidency, following their father's death, is in the hospital after an assassination attempt, and Barry is thus expected to step up and take control for the time being. A power he has no desire to acquire and just wants to go back home; however, the nation is going through civil unrest and on the verge of civil war and following the kidnapping of his nephew's wife, Barry finds himself going to the kidnappers and securing her release after promising the young kids that there won't be any charges filed against them, but his uncle a ruthless man who longs for a military dictatorship assassinates the kids as they lay on the ground right before Barry's stunned eyes.
There are flashbacks of Barry as a young kid growing up in a land he dreaded and with a father he resented for treating his older brother with an iron fist and an unfairness that made him sick. He recalls a time as he and his brother along with their father confronted dissenters and the father demands the older brother to murder a man, but this refuses and so Barry gets out of the car and shots the man twice, just so that his father would leave the elder brother alone and not force him to do something the boy feared. Also, it is revealed that young Barry had a brief relationship with Leila, -Moran Atias-, who is now married to Jamal and begged Barry not to leave their native land.
This is a fascinating story of personal strife to do what the individual feels is right for his own well being, but the struggle that comes along with going against the family and cultural demands that regardless of how much are fought still return time after time asking to be heeded and dealt with. Recaps and information on "Tyrant" can be found online at www.fx.com/tyrant

SAN FRANCISCO—Wilfried Knight, a gay adult star since 2004, has taken his own life, according to a report from Falcon Studios and Raging Stallion Studios. The San Francisco-based studios sent out the following release, expressing sadness over the news.
The release reads as follows:
"Born in 1977 and growing up in Champagne, France, the 35-year-old actor appeared in over 10 Raging Stallion productions in the last four years. Originally an exclusive for Lucas Entertainment, Wilfried became the first-ever joint Lucas/ Raging Stallion exclusive. He was a consummate performer and a joy to have on set, which was why he was chosen to appear in the studio's major releases. He contributed to the success of the biggest industry hits from Raging Stallion, including Cowboys, Giants, Tales of the Arabian Nights and Focus/Refocus.
"His skills and talent didn't go unrecognized; he won the 2010 GayVN Award for Performer of the Year, and he took home the 2011 Grabby for Best Versatile Performer. A man of stature, standing 6'2" and weighing in at nearly 200 pounds, Knight had a huge presence, a gracious air, and a caring disposition. His charm and humor did not go unnoticed. All of these traits are what made him a superstar of the industry.
"While the details of his death are not yet know, Knight recently lost his partner of nine years to suicide.
"Chris Ward, Falcon/Raging Stallion Studios President offered these sentiments about his friend: 'Wilfried's death is a blow to our studio and to our industry. There was no nicer man. We have all lost someone very special. I can only say that personally I am devastated. Wilfried was a friend and I shall miss him. All of us at Falcon and Raging Stallion Studios hope he is at peace, and our thoughts are with his family and friends. I know that his good friend and director, Tony Dimarco, is also greatly saddened by this tragic loss.'"
The studio also issued this collective expression of loss:
"We grieve deeply at the passing of Wilfried Knight. We offer our most genuine thoughts of sympathy and warm wishes to Wilfried's family, friends and loved ones. He was an extraordinary talent and a special man who brought joy to our hearts. Wilfried, we celebrate your life and your accomplishments, and hope that you rest in peace. You will be missed greatly."

How much sick leave am I entitled to?
In general you are eligible for five days' sick leave once you have worked continuously for your employer for six months. If you are a casual worker, you are eligible for the same amount of sick leave if you've been working regularly for your employer for six months.
You are entitled to accrue up to 20 days sick leave, by carrying over unused sick leave from year to year.
These are the minimum sick leave requirements; depending on your employment agreement you may be entitled to more sick leave per year, be able to take sick leave before you have worked for your employer for six months and/or accrue more than 20 days' sick leave.
You can also take sick leave to look after your partner, child or parent if they are sick or injured.
Find out more from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's Employment NZ website.
Can I get sick leave if I'm a part-time worker?
Even if you work part-time, you are still entitled to a minimum of five full days of sick leave per year after being in the job for six months and all the other entitlements described above.
What happens to my sick leave at the end of the year?
If you don't use all of your sick leave during a particular year, you can carry over the unused sick leave to the following year. You can store up to 20 days of unused sick leave from previous years (more if your employment agreement allows it).
You normally won't be able to cash in your sick leave even if you leave your job.
If I take time off work because I'm sick, do I have to get a note from my doctor as proof?
Your employer is entitled to ask you to provide proof of your illness or injury - normally in the form of a medical certificate from your doctor - when you take sick leave. If you take sick leave to care for another person (e.g. your child), your employer can ask you for proof of that person's illness or injury.
If the employer asks for proof when you have been away sick for three consecutive days or less, they should tell you as soon as possible that proof is required and must pay reasonable expenses incurred in getting that proof. They can't insist that you visit a particular health provider.
If you have been away sick more than three consecutive days when your employer asks for proof of your illness or injury, you'll have to pay the costs of visiting a doctor to get that proof.
If you don't provide proof when it has been requested and don't have a reasonable excuse, your employer is entitled to not pay you for the leave until you do provide proof.
You can read more about this on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's Employment NZ website.
What will happen if I get sick and have already used up all of my sick leave entitlement?
If you have to take time off work due to illness but have no sick leave entitlement, talk to your employer about your options. It's most likely you will have to use some of your annual leave, take unpaid leave, or take sick leave in advance (e.g. if you have not worked there for long enough to have sick leave entitlement).
If I take a week off for a work-related injury, does that count as sick leave?
If you have to take time off due to injury, whether the time is taken as sick leave or not depends on whether the injury is work-related and whether you receive compensation from ACC for the time you are off work:
See our ACC page for more information about your ACC entitlements, or this Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment page for more information about the relationship between sick leave and ACC.

When I was introduced to Alexander Youth Network by a dear friend, I was immediately impressed by the warmth of the campus and the amount of care that each person took with these kids. While I have lived in Charlotte for many years, I really had no idea what this place was beyond the "Alexander Children's Home" that I had heard of from time to time. What I found was so much more. Healing these kids is a legacy 125 years in the making, since Alexander opened its doors as a rescue mission for women and children in 1888. Last year, Alexander served more than 7000 children with significant emotional and behavioral challenges. For such complex problems, the therapies are seemingly simple. It may look like our therapists are playing a basketball game with our kids, but they're actually building healthy, trusting relationships. It may just look like drumming, but those beats are resetting the unregulated rhythms of a child's brain and creating a calming effect. It may look like playing with a pet, but we're teaching kids empathy.As we celebrate our special anniversary this year, I invite you to sign-up for our email newsletter by clicking here. This will keep you current on special 125th Anniversary events and initiatives. In the meantime, use the links below to learn more about our history and become part of our Legacy.

Recently, I had double knee replacement surgery at UMC. There is no doubt in my mind that I received the most professional and loving care there that is possible.
From the surgeons to the maids, I was treated royally. Surely there is no finer care anywhere!
It will still be awhile until I fully recover, but in the meantime I must give these angels of mercy credit for what they did. I would highly recommend UMC to anyone.

I enjoy knitting, weaving, and sewing. In the past, I have crocheted, tatted, and done bobbin lace. I also do embroidery. My mother taught me to knit when I was very young. Weaving and sewing were learned in classes. I learned bobbin lace from a relative and I taught myself how to crochet. Sadly, there are not enough hours in the day to craft and READ, so I am trying to limit myself to just a few.

Azerbaijan plans rational use of energy resources
By Aynur Jafarova
Azerbaijan has started working on the development of a national program for the rational use of energy resources of the country in 2014-2020, Energy Minister Natig Aliyev said on February 5.
"There is a need to develop a national program for the rational use of natural resources of Azerbaijan in 2014-2020 to maintain consistency and purposefulness of work conducted to ensure the rational use of energy resources," he said.
Aliyev went on to note that development of such a program is relevant on the background of increase of demand to energy carriers and global prices.
Preliminary work for the development of the program has already begun, and the ministry has sent an appeal to the relevant organizations to establish a working group, the minister said.
Proven gas reserves of Azerbaijan, an energy-rich South Caucasus country, are estimated at 2.55 trillion cubic meters, and oil reserves at two billion tons while the predicted gas reserves of the country are estimated at six trillion cubic meters and oil reserves at four billion tons.
Aliyev also made public the oil and gas production figures for 2013. He said in 2013 Azerbaijan produced 32.72 million tons of oil at giant Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) block of fields in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea in 2013 compared to the expected 30.62 million tons.
The ACG block of fields has been producing oil since 1997. Production started from the Chirag part of the field and continues successfully to this day. This was followed by the Azeri Project; Central Azeri production started in February 2005, West Azeri began production in December 2005, and East Azeri came on stream in October 2006. The Deepwater Gunashli section launched production in April 2008.
The largest volume of oil produced in Azerbaijan falls to the ACG block. The proven oil reserves stands at nearly one billion tons. The indicated results were achieved thanks to measures taken by the partners in 2013 to stabilize the production volume at the block.
Aliyev pointed out that in total, 43.2 million tons of oil was produced in the country in 2013 compared to the forecasted 41.1 million tons. Additionally, around 29.2 billion cubic meters of gas was produced in Azerbaijan in 2013 compared to the expected 27.5 billion cubic meters.
The Energy Minister also said the capacity of the electric power generating system in Azerbaijan exceeded 7,000 megawatts in 2013.
The country's energy capacity grew by 30 percent over the past five years thanks to the construction and commissioning of a number of large-scale powers.
"In 2013, the capacity of the country's electric power generating system increased by 830 megawatts, surpassing the mark of seven thousand megawatts," Aliyev noted.
Azerbaijan's main electricity producer is Azerenerji, which has over 200 substations with the capacity of 500, 330, 220 and 110 kV amp, and eight hydroelectric plants and 13 thermal power plants.
Aliyev went on to say that the number of regions in Azerbaijan receiving gas reached 67.
"The restoration of gas supply in various regions resulted in a saving of funds by the population that were spent on other fuels," the minister said.
Around 9,000 kilometers of gas pipelines were constructed in the country in 2013 under work programs to increase the level and improvement of gasification. The gasification level in Azerbaijan hit 90 percent excluding the regions occupied by Armenia.
"Currently, the gasification level in Baku is 96.3 percent, whilst in the regions it is 65.4 percent. The level of providing subscribers with meters was brought up to 99 percent," Aliyev said.
To date, over 500,000 meters working on the basis of smart cards (prepaid cards) have been installed for Azerbaijan's gas subscribers.
The total number of gas subscribers has already exceeded 1.6 million, some 1.58 million of which are domestic subscribers.

Looking Back on Women's Equality
Three days after she turned 18, Liz Abzug showed up to vote with a gaggle of press in tow.
Ms. Abzug was no stranger to media coverage. Her mother, Bella Abzug was a well-known activist and outspoken about feminism and social justice.
Moreover, this was a special election for the Abzug family: Bella Abzug was running as a Congressional Representative in New York.
With all eyes on her, Ms. Abzug entered the voting booth where, due to the intensity of the day and some button and lever confusion, "I almost screwed it up!"
Ms. Abzug had started working for her mother's causes two years earlier, and has been doing so ever since. She followed her mother's footsteps all the way to candidacy for New York City Council in 1991, later going on to found the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute in 2004.
Today marks the 34th anniversary of Bella Abzug's march to establish an official Women's Equality Day. Ms. Abzug is spending the anniversary as an Obama delegate at the Democratic National Convention.
Journal Women caught up with Ms. Abzug right before she boarded a plane bound for Denver. Edited excerpts from the interview follow.
WSJ: 2008 has been a groundbreaking year for Democrats. If your mother were here, what would she say about all this?
Ms. Abzug: She'd be so thrilled that a woman [made a run] for the top office. Look at the U.S. versus [other countries] and how women have fared better running [for office] and becoming prime minister — we are finally dealing with this. We have two people running who represent more of the composition of America. [My mother would also] be raising hell with the Democratic Party and the women who are hesitant and holding back.
WSJ: Why would she be raising hell with these women?
Ms. Abzug: We have to try to bring the elements of the women's agenda to the forefront of the party because women are the greater percentage of voters in this country. Right now there's still a lot of hurt among the feminist activists who are big Hillary supporters. Women in history are often the more active political citizens. They're the ones who run campaigns and keep them going. They're the ones who have great influence with their families. It's counter-productive not to consider them equal active voters.
WSJ: Can you share a favorite quote from your mother?
Ms. Abzug: "Will women change the nature of power or will power change the nature of women?" We've seen it over and over again in modern history. Women have often led the movements of change in this country, but then what happens when they rise to the top of power structures? Do they stay true — the ones who evolve into leaders — to women and to the causes of women? Do they still break barriers not just for themselves but for women in general?
WSJ: Have you found that women who evolve into leaders do stay true to the causes?
Ms. Abzug: I find that a lot of times they do. As more women get to the top positions of power in [any] sector, they become more comfortable with it, and they can express their beliefs. Gender equity has to be achieved by example and once people see a person of color or a woman running for the top office, this will become the norm rather than the exception and therefore affect every institution in our society. With Clinton and Obama running, we're breaking down these stereotypes finally.
WSJ: What does the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute do?
Ms. Abzug: [The institute helps] younger women realize their potential. I [set up] an institute that focuses on [helping] all women, from all backgrounds to understand and take their innate powers and use them so they can be leaders in politics, advocacy and business: It's good to be strong it's good to be dynamic, it's good to be courageous, to demand a seat at the table. [Recently] These women and girls have been meeting and [discussing] how we should join together and accept each other and how we express our strengths as women and girls. We're calling it "Unfinished Business" because it's the unfinished business of women evolving in the next level of feminism.
WSJ: How does the Institute keep your mother's mission alive?
Ms. Abzug: When [my mother] was in Congress in the 1970s, she was so bold in what she did, so unique. [She combined] her intelligence with strategy with her ability to project dynamically and speak amazingly. And she also broke barriers. She was the first one to introduce the equality and the first Gay Rights bill. She worked on Title 9, and co-authored the Freedom of Information Act within that first month or two of being elected.

Readers: Do you think women today actively need to work toward equality? What more can be done to help young women and girls realize their potential? And to what extent do you think it's up to women to lead movements of change? — Grace L. Williams

Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette has always done a great job of helping spread the word on Newcomb reaching his goals, and this year he covers it once again.
Below is Newcomb's letter to potential sponsors:
Why I ride
If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people- Thich Nhat Hanh
My 2011 Pan Mass Challenge ride is motivated by family. I dedicate this ride to my parents while my wife, Judi, and daughter, Olivia, volunteer during the event. The family is working together so that someday we might be able to help find a cure for cancer.
The PMC is the single largest contributor to the Jimmy Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Last year, the PMC raised over $30,000,000. This year on the weekend of August 6th and 7th, I will be one of over 5000 riders who will be making our way across Massachusetts to raise money for cancer research.
I ride as a member of the Patriot Platelet Pedalers (try saying that three times fast). The PPP is committed to increasing team fundraising and blood platelet donations. Platelets have been a big concern in our family. Olivia, my second daughter, had ITP (a platelet disorder) and responded well to treatment. This just increases my family's connection to the PMC!
This is my fourth year riding and over the years we have raised nearly $19,000. In order for me to participate again, I need to raise at least another $4200. As always, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the money I raise goes directly to the Jimmy Fund. I hope you can help me with this project. Any size contribution will be greatly appreciated.
Your tax-deductible donation can be made in several ways. A check made out to "PMC/Jimmy Fund" can be sent directly to me in the enclosed envelope or I can come and pick it up. You can also make a credit card donation on the internet at www.PMC.org. Click on the egift button in the upper left corner and use my egift code- BN0032.
I ride with the names of my parents on my jersey. Fifteen years ago cancer took my father and presently, my mother's lymphoma is under control. If you would like to dedicate your donation to someone you know that has been affected by cancer I would be happy to put their name(s) on my shirt also. Just send me the name(s) along with your contribution and they can make the ride with me.
You can see a picture from my 2008 shirt on the back of this letter or on my PMC profile. Go to www.PMC.org and click on PMC Profiles in the left column and follow the links to my gallery.
Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions. So many have helped us accomplish this over the years. Thank you for any support you can provide.
Bob Newcomb

"[…] when you create alone there is a kind of purity and truth to it, something decidedly fleeting in our bands."
- Joey Cape
San Francisco punk label Fat Wreck Chords has recently tackled the considerable undertaking of re-releasing the acoustic solo material and more recent side projects of singer/songwriter Joey Cape. Well known as the longtime front man in the California punk band Lagwagon, Joey Cape has directed much of his artistic energy since Lagwagon's Resolve to his solo endeavors. More often than not, Joey Cape writes, records and performs under his own name, yet there are other projects (other than what he did in Bad Astronaut, of course), like Scorpios and Bad Loud.
Scorpios, which Cape fondly considers one of his most rewarding projects to date, was a collaborative effort between touring partners Joey Cape, Tony Sly (No Use For A Name), Jon Snodgrass (Armchair Martian, Drag the River), and Brian Wahlstrom in 2011, for which they worked together on versions of each other's songs. This resulted in a ten-song album with Joey's "Lifer," "Lonely Parade" and "Oise"; Tony's "Happy Anniversary" and "Daisy Train"; and Jon's "Scorpios," "We Won't Speak of This Again" and "Weighing In."
Bad Loud's simply titled Volume One, also a 2011 album, is Joey with a full band doing electric versions of his acoustic solo material. Featuring Asher Simon on drums, Carl Reather on bass, Brian Wahlstrom on keys, Chad Price and Jon Snodgrass on additional vocals, Angus Cooke on Cello, and of course Joey Cape on guitar and lead vocals, the group did rockin' versions of such standout Cape songs as "Canoe," "Going for the Bronze," "Okay," "Montreal," "It's Always Sunny" and "The Fish Rots from the Head - Case Down."
Other than his two full-length solo acoustic albums, Bridge and Doesn't Play Well with Others (both of which were also re-released along with the other albums mentioned here), Cape has recorded a few splits that are certainly worth mentioning. The first two splits are between Joey and the late No Use For A Name front man and acoustic singer/songwriter Tony Sly, Volumes 1 and 2 (Not re-released with the other titles, yet still available). The other, titled Liverbirds, was less of a split than a collaborative effort between Cape and Jon Snodgrass—a project for which they did versions of songs from each other's bands, Lagwagon and Bad Astronaut, and Armchair Martian and Drag the River, respectively.
And, if like me, you have been a big Lagwagon fan throughout the years, you will find acoustic versions of Lagwagon songs like "Making Friends," "Angry Days," "Alien 8," "Know It All" and more scattered throughout some of these releases.
These releases can be purchased as a single boxset (vinyl, CD, or digital download) or individually.

Continuing the trend of U.S. remakes of Danish dramas like "The Killing" and "The Bridge," Fox is developing "Frayed" which Sheldon Turner ("Up in the Air") will script.
A remake of the 2010 Dutch miniseries "Bellicher," which itself was an adaptation of Charles den Tex's "The Power Of Mr. Miller," the new take centers on an arrogant and entitled corporate consultant who gets embroiled in a grand conspiracy that forces him to go on the run.
As his entire life unravels, he realises that the only man who can help him is a perpetually paranoid and possibly delusional former NSA agent. The aim is to do an 1970s thriller-style series like "The Parallax View" and "Three Days Of The Condor".
The project has received a script commitment plus penalty. Turner, Jennifer Klein, Rob Golenberg and Alon Aranya will executive produce for Sony TV.

Salifert Magnesium 500 mL
Product Manuals & Documentation
Why is Magnesium required?
Magnesium is present in NSW (Natural Sea Water) in a fairly high concentration (1350 – 1500 mg/L). Magnesium is an essential part of chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis algae and hence the corals, which we have in our aquariums, would not survive. Magnesium also has another important function in that it allows maintaining the correct combination of calcium concentration and alkalinity or carbonate harness possible. Maintaining a correct magnesium concentration is therefore very important and is indirectly responsible for fast coral and calcareous algae growth.
Magnesium is depleted by algae growth and also by the use of excessive Kalkwasser or by going far beyond natural calcium, alkalinity and pH values.
About Liquid Magnesium
This supplement is highly concentrated. Each liter contains approximately 25,000 mg of magnesium. To avoid an ionic imbalance, we properly balance the magnesium with ions such as sulfate, chloride, bromide, sodium and calcium.
All ingredients are of a pharmaceutical quality or even better. This ensures that no unwanted elements are added to your valuable aquarium.
Other Requirements
This supplement in instead to be used on a regular maintenance basis. If the magnesium concentration is significantly lower than 1350 mg/L, we advise to use our Magnesium Powder. This powder is far more effective in raising the magnesium concentration yet is not ionically balanced to the extent of this supplement. The powder should there for be used as a one time major corrective measure.
Shake before use.
Regular maintenance:
Dose 5 ml per 100 liters (25 gallons) once a week.
Adjust dosage according to individual requirements (use a magnesium test, e.g., Salifert's Magnesium Profi-Test).
Ever 5 ml per 10 liters (2.5 gallons) will increase the magnesium concentration by approximately 12.5 mg/L(12.5ppm).
Never increase the magnesium concentration by more than 50 mg/L aday. Maintain a magnesium concentration of 1350 – 1500 mg/L.

The second eye-opener was when, in an effort to address the issues identified in the review, we took ICS-300 training.
Unlike the 200-level course, we were in a classroom along with police and fire employees; which helped all three departments realize the need to work together as first responders. The classroom exercises helped us connect our real-world operations with the introductory training that we'd initially thought wasn't applicable. We recognized the need to adjust our operations to better align with incident-command protocol used by other emergency first responders.
We assumed that all surrounding jurisdictions and other first responders, such as police and fire, knew what each other was doing and when; and this simply wasn't the case. We needed to develop a shared emergency management and communications system.
So for the 2008/09 winter season, we revised snow and ice control procedures by establishing and clearly describing the incident command structure (i.e., staff members charged with field operations, planning, logistics, public information, safety, and liaison with other responding agencies) and clearly identifying who the incident commander is at all times during an event. Whereas before we were focused on just operations — clearing roads — this structure ensures we place just as much importance on planning and communicating with other first responders.
As part of our revised procedures, we e-mail briefings to all city departments, the press, and other entities in anticipation of, and during, events. The briefings include the weather forecast, our operational objectives, emergency response category from Type 5 (least complex) through Type 1 (most complex), which has proved invaluable in describing the severity of the storm and size of the response required. We also strive to clearly outline the chain of command for the next operational period (typically eight hours).
This communication is a critical component of our first-responder responsibilities to inform the public, and as liaison to other agencies.
By adopting incident-command procedures for snow and ice control operations, we've proven the value of a formalized incident-command structure to employees, elected officials, and the public. Police and fire have praised our protocols, and other city departments now look to us as weather experts. In fact, following our lead, the city's water department recently applied the concepts to its response to main breaks.
Because what we used to think of as routine work is now considered an emergency response, we'll respond much more effectively if and when that "tipping point" of a large-scale emergency occurs in our community. So consider ICS 300-level training for your team. Then take a hard, reflective look at your own response systems. The benefits will be greater than they may first appear.

It's that time of year again, as I hit the road for some minor-league baseball while experiencing the sights, sounds, and small towns… on a low budget!
North Carolina is the destination this year, with stops in Zebulon (vs. the P-Nats, weather permitting), Winston-Salem, Kannapolis, Hickory, Greensboro, and Durham over the next six days.
I'll also be researching the great debate of Eastern-style (vinegar-based) vs. Western-style (tomato-based) Carolina barbecue along with visits to museums and other tourist traps.
The goal, as always, is to keep the site running as best as I can from the free WiFi of
cheap inexpensive motels, but there's always the chance that the News & Notes might be abbreviated, and responses to queries and comments a bit more sporadic.
For folks interested in seeing some of the places I've been before, the "Road Trips" page has been rebuilt.
7 Responses to "Programming Note"
Enjoy the trip Luke.
The photo begs the question; are the dogs going with you?
Also, why is this trip 'low budget' with all the money you're making off this site?
Inquiring minds want to know!
That is Americana baseball @ its best! Safe travels and good eats!!!!!!! throw out all caution to wind
and ingest all the carbs and hops!!! LOL!
Jeff reminds me ……… take photos of the food at these places. I agree, Americana at its best, and we get to enjoy it vicariously. 🙂
Be safe! See you a few weeks.
Its not the same without a stop at Fort Pedro … oh I guess that's South Carolina …
Sign me up for the Carolina style BBQ! Smithfields wasn't bad as I recall. Also too bad they aren't playing in Kinston any longer; was always one of my favorites.
Safe travels Luke!!

When it comes time each year to buy items for the new school year, not all children have the financial resources available to purchase even the basics.
That is especially true for school uniforms. Foster children, as well as children receiving supervision and assistance from Big Bend Community Based Care, are in dire need of funds to buy school uniforms. In order to assist with the school uniform dilemma, local attorneys, working in conjunction with Big Bend Community Based Care (CBC), will be helping over 100 local children obtain necessary school uniforms before they return to school.
When local attorney, Joe Alldredge, learned of this problem that so many local children are facing, he created a community outreach project to lend a helping hand. "We attorneys have benefitted so much from this community, and we need to give a little back".
The Bay County Bar Association has been raising funds from the local member attorneys for the over 100 children receiving services from Big Bend CBC.
All of the funds raised will be used to buy polo shirts for the children that will comply with the Bay County Schools uniform policies.
Tammy Chambers, a supervisor at Big Bend, has said, "We don't receive many donations, and people forget that the children in foster care need school uniforms too".

AIM: The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of implants placed simultaneously with guided bone regeneration (GBR) using resorbable and non-resorbable membranes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The original study population consisted of 72 patients receiving a total of 265 implants. In all GBR-treated sites, demineralized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) was used in combination either with a collagen (CM) or an Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membrane. A total of 112 implants was treated with CM, 41 implants were treated with e-PTFE membranes, and 112 served as a control group because implants were entirely surrounded by bone and did not need any GBR procedures. Clinical and radiographic analyses were performed after a period of 12-14 years. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 12.5 years (range 12-14 years). A total of 58 patients participated in the present investigation, corresponding to 80.5% of the original study population. The cumulative implant survival rate at the follow-up examination was 93.2%. For the control group the cumulative survival rate was 94.6%, for the CM 91.9%, and for the e-PTFE 92.6%. Differences among the groups were not statistically significant. The radiographically determined marginal bone level (MBL) amounted to: CM 2.36 mm (SD), e-PTFE 2.4 mm (SD), control 2.53 mm (SD). There is no evidence (P < 0.2) that the slope of bone level over time is different for the three treatment groups. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that implants placed simultaneously with GBR procedures using resorbable or non-resorbable membranes reveal a high survival rate ranging from 91.9% to 92.6%, therefore it is considered to be a safe and predictable therapy.

I suppose the Gun Control nuts will just love this:
SOUTHGATE — An eighth-grader at Davidson Middle School shot and killed himself in a bathroom this morning, school officials said.
Students told The News-Herald Newspapers the teen said he was depressed because he was being bullied. One classmate, who said he spoke to the student prior to the shooting, said the teen said he was thinking of taking his life.
The school was placed on lockdown at about 8:30 a.m. Although school Supt. William Grusecki was unavailable for comment, his office said the lockdown was due to a "situation with a student."
A press conference was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to address the situation.
News outlets are reporting the student shot himself in the head and left a note.
An eighth-grader inside the school said he was in class and heard a shot. He said the it sounded like glass breaking and a teacher rushed to a bathroom.
Students were visibly shaken as they were led out of the school. Parents were called to come and pick them up
via SOUTHGATE: Davidson Middle School reeling from student's suicide – thenewsherald.com.
What I want to know is, where the hell was the school at, to stop such bullying? For those who do not know; Southgate, Michigan is right next door to my city here in Lincoln Park. It is less the a mile away. I would go over there and see if I could get pictures; but Southgate is a bit of a tough city to outsiders. They are known to arrest people that they do not like the looks of, so I will stay away from the scene.
If I were the parents of this child, who killed himself; I would sue the parents of the children, who did the bullying. I would also sue the school district for not protecting my child from such bullying. It is very obvious that someone, somewhere in that school, knew that this was going on and turned and looked the other way.
Furthermore, I believe that the parents of the children, who did the bullying, ought to be held accountable for their children's actions. The parents ought to be charged, in the case, with first degree murder.
Now, as for the gun rights people, vs the Gun Rights people; I really do not believe it would have mattered here. Most likely, this kid got this gun from his Dad's collection, and took it to school and killed himself. No amount of gun laws, would have prevented this one at all. I should also point out, that this school, according to the Detroit News, does not have metal detectors, as it is an older school and not only that; it is a rather nice area. Southgate, Michigan is not really known for school violence; after all, it is not Detroit. Countdown to being called a racist in 5….4…3…..2….
In closing: First off, my prayers to the people involved, including the family of the deceased child. 🙁 Also, something needs to be done about bullying, it is just that simple. This is what caused the Columbine school shooting and a few tragic others. It needs to be dealt with and quickly, before anyone else gets shot.
Update: Police and school officials are now saying bullying was not the cause of the Suicide. I hold this is high suspicion, I think someone is trying to cover their behinds. Here is the video of the presser from earlier: (via WXYZ-TV)

The Source of Jennifer Aniston's Curse Is Revealed
Jennifer Anniston. The quintessential beauty, the girl next door.
Jennifer Joanna Aniston was born on February 11, 1969, and gained worldwide popularity for her role as Rachel Green on hit NBC television sitcom, Friends. For this role, Jennifer earned an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
Moreso, Jennifer Aniston won the heart of America.
Jennifer Aniston is truly an actress who has it all: casual beauty, immense stage presence and a personality to bubble. With these qualities, it is very hard to imagine that since her time on Friends, her career and personal life have been far less than ideal.
For instance, last weekend, Jennifer Aniston released a new comedy named, "The Switch". The comedy featured Aniston along with actress Juliette Lewis, a pairing that by itself should have assured box office gold.
Instead, the movie flopped. It gained only $8.1 million over the box office weekend. After viewing the film and seeing the audience viewing-stats, critics are now demoting Aniston to a 'tier-two' actress status.
It would be nice to see this is a surprise, but it fits the trend of late for Aniston's life. Her movies have progressively bombed worse and worse, and even more, her personal life is falling apart.
Critics say Aniston is growing more and more concerned about her aging body, to the point of being severely self-conscious and hurting the filming process of her movies. Aniston has jumped into relationships with men nearly half-her age, such as notorious womanizer John Mayer.
Only years ago, Jennifer failed to keep Brad Pitt happy, as he left his marriage with Aniston to be with another dark actress, Angelina Jolie, who now has Pitt trapped with nearly ten children.
Where did it all go wrong for Aniston. Why does it seem the life of this woman, blessed with an angelic beauty through-and-through, and acting talent of the caliber of Hepburn and Streep, is now being cursed, by an unseen force.
There is a source for all of this, and it was only revealed last week:
Jon Stewart, pictured at right. Jewish comedian Jon Stewart supports terror and makes a living by headlining a "news program" named Politically Incorrect.
On this show, as shown in the still above, he makes fun of those who are afflicted with mental and physical illness. Stewart regals the worst of Hollywood celebrities while doing his best to pervert the values of America, all in hopes of of priming more inflammatory, rebellion-prone minds in his college-aged 18-26 year old male demographic.
Stewart's true colors were shown during 9/11. Before 9/11, Jon Stewart took every shot possible at our Christian leader and President George W. Bush.
After the tragic events of 9/11 unfolded, Stewart admitted his childish attacks against the GOP should have no place against America. Stewart apologized to President Bush and America for all he had done. Stewart admitted that he and his colleagues were the 'immature kids in the back of the class, throwing spitballs' while President George W. Bush and our troops insured our freedoms. He pretended to atone for his sins and submit himself to the goodwill of America and to the divine wisdom of God, instilled within President George W. Bush's confident leadership.
Stewart, as always, lied. Only months later, he was back to making fun of our ordained leaders and defying God, despite saying "God bless" to America.
This is the track record of Jon Stewart, a defiant Jewish boy who constantly forsakes God in oath and promise, much like the ancient children of Israel. Stewart dances before the golden calf of liberal journalism. Just like when God lead his chosen people across the Red Sea, splitting it with his breath and then giving them simple commands they agreed to abide by, only to betray it moments later, Stewart has done such to his God and country.
And Stewart also asked Jennifer Aniston on a date in 1996.
It is no coincidence that in 1996, where nearly every new venture she advertised failed, Aniston's career and personal life started into a downward spiral, with every year getting worse and worse.
Aniston tried to cover up her romantic affair and fling with Stewart, but days ago, was forced to confess their romantic trist in New York, that happened in 1995 – 1996.
Aniston has tried to veil her brief romance with Stewart, a betrayer and man who stands against basic America — an America that Aniston represents — and its values, but now it is out in the open.
Jon Stewart is the source of Aniston's failures in life: her poor movie performances, inability to connect with the public and even relationship with Brad Pitt and failture to be married, with children, before turning 40.
Aniston was tapping into a lifestyle of punishment and curses that stems back to the outskirts of ancient Egypt, where the Jews first betrayed their God. Stewart is their descendant and much like his forefather and overbearing Jewish foremothers, Stewart tests God's patience and is not focused on doing what's right. Aniston was cursed, but with her public confession, hopefully will now be forgiven for colluding with this man of cursed heritage.
Hopefully, soon, Aniston will once again find her promised land of commercial and personal success.

If you live in the Anaheim Colony and heard cannon and small-arms fire Saturday, you are not being attacked.
It's just St. Catherine Academy hosting the 13th Annual Civil War Educational Weekend, a Civil War re-enactment which is playing out on their athletic field. The battle being depicted is the New Market Skirmish, which took place in Shenandoah County, Va. It was a victory for the South.
St. Catherine Academy was founded in 1889 by the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, is an independent Catholic school with a military tradition for boys in kindergarten through 8th grade.
"I've always been fascinated by history," said Paul Lewanski a chemistry teacher from Tustin and a 2nd lieutenant re-enactor with the 1st N.C. Calvary. "I do it for the love of it. Teaching history like this is its purist form."
Professional Civil War re-enactors come from all over Southern California to participate in this annual event where students experience the living history of the New Market Skirmish, a battle that involved children cadets of the VMI (Virginia Military Institute).
"They were kids, just like us," added Lance Cpl. Will Maduekwe, 13, of Murrieta, who is experiencing the re-enactment for the first time.
Students from all over Southern California, as well as the general public, are invited to attend the event which runs Saturday and Sunday, March 26 and 27. Gates open at 9:30 a.m. and tickets are $7 for adults, $4 for students and seniors. The Sunday's re-enactment starts at 11 a.m.

Milani Jewel FX Gold
I was worried that application would be horrible. Surprisingly, two thick coats were enough for opacity! It did go on a bit thick, but I didn't have much difficulty getting an even spread of glitter. Normally I don't like gold against my skin tone, but this works for me. The sparkle and shine is irresistible! The only issue I had was that Jewel FX Gold dried a bit bumpy. I fully expected that though, so I just threw on a nice thick coat of Seche to even things out.
Here are two coats of Milani Jewel FX Gold and one thick coat of Seche Vite.
As you can see, I've got a bit of shrinkage at my tips due to the Seche Vite. It wasn't noticeable in real life, and either were any bald spots you might see on the nail. The green flash is due to reflections from the trees in my yard! Sorry about that, just pretend it's all super duper blingy gold!
Ah... I feel like putting this back on after looking at the pictures. I am absolutely head over heels in love with Milani Jewel FX Gold. Plus, I got a very nice compliment on this polish. This morning DBF took me to breakfast and the waitress noticed. She was so sweet and was just fawning over the color!
