Gold and Lucite Durban Beak Ikat bangle from Bittar's spring collection
Jewelry designer Alexis Bittar
The Bittar Way
Alexis Bittar was churning out his Lucite bangles and graphic jewelry long before he was named CFDA's Accessory Designer of the Year in 2010. In fact, the Brooklyn-born entrepreneur started out selling his designs on the streets of Soho in the early '90s.

Today, Bittar has three NYC boutiques and runs a Dumbo-based studio where 250 employees hand-make the sparkly accoutrements coveted by downtowners and uptowners (and the first lady!) alike.
Your 2013 resort collection was inspired by '80s New Wave—how did that come about?
I grew up in the 1980s, and it helped shape my viewpoint. The decade also had a music and fashion revolution, which created an energy that was very exciting to me.
Your favorite new piece?
The Pansy earrings. I've never sculpted such detail into such a small item.
You often use Lucite, a notoriously difficult and pricey material. Why?
Lucite has been an old friend of mine for 22 years. Pushing the boundaries of design has become like a Rubik's cube that I enjoy tackling each season.
You've collaborated with a slew of designers (Kors, Wu, Basso, Ferretti). Who's next?
I'd love to work with Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons—she's an absolute genius, consistently pushing boundaries and influencing fashion in ways most people aren't even aware of.
How did you find out Michelle Obama was wearing your jewelry?
My mom, who's a massive fan of hers, saw her wearing my pieces and called me!
Your designs have gone from the street to Bergdorfs. Does the success surprise you?
Not really. I embarked on this journey knowing what I wanted to accomplish. The biggest stumbling block has been running such a large company—management doesn't always go hand in hand with creativity.
As a native of Bay Ridge, do you prefer old or new Brooklyn?
New—as long as it doesn't become too much like Manhattan. Old Brooklyn was too segmented into ethnic neighborhoods; if you found yourself in Bensonhurst and you weren't Italian, you could get the s**t kicked out of you. Today Brooklyn is increasingly multiethnic and cosmopolitan.
We hear you were quite a partier back in the day—have any outrageous New Year's Eves?
I can't really remember. But New Year's Eve is for toddlers. The real question is, "How much did you party during the week?"

Never Going In The Ocean: Whales Almost Swallow Divers
This is a video of two humpback whales off the coast of central California coming up to feed when they almost swallow two divers. Could you imagine being swallowed by a whale? Man, that would certainly be a story to tell IN THE BIBLE. Back me up, Jonah! "I spent three days and nights in the belly of the beast." And then? "And then on the third night I prayed to God for forgiveness." Cool, but you should have prayed for forgiveness AND A WATERPROOF CHAINSAW.
Hit the jump, then sell all your bathing suits in your next yard sale, the ocean is OVER.
Thanks to Christie, who doesn't want to get swallowed by anything but a really comfy sofa.

Sometimes, you just need to spice things up a bit. Plain old-boring can get just that, boring. So throw in some spices, some exotic ingredients. Channel your inner "Daring Cook" or "Iron Chef" and let the muses speak to you. Be your own little Emeril and "BAM" your way into awesomeness.
But sometimes, every once in a while, tried and true is best. Perfection is sometimes best in simplest form and shouldn't be messed with.
Take my Mom's chicken salad, for instance. It's simple. Its perfect. It has 5 ingredients, and its beautiful.
Don't even think of jazzing it up. At all. Keep your tarragon and curry in your cupboard where they belong. Grapes and carrots belong on the side of the plate, not in the sandwich. Back away from the dried cranberries. And heaven forbid, don't even think about putting some artichoke hearts in there.
Enjoy simplicity at its perfection!
Chicken Salad – My Mom! :)
1 rotisserie chicken, meat pulled and shredded
2 stalks celery, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Enough MAYONAISE (no miracle whip here, people, and no "Light" stuff, either. Get the real thing!) to combine.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Cover and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve on bread, toast, triscuit crackers, inside little puff sandwiches, or however else you can think to eat it!

Rental warrants of fitness will cost tenants
A Dunedin property management company is warning that the costs of a proposed warrant of fitness scheme for rental housing will be passed on to tenants.
Dunedin City Council is drafting a local bill that would set minimum standards for all rental properties in the city.
Mayor Dave Cull said the standards would cover features such as insulation and warmth.
Presbyterian Support says it has been advocating for a warrant of fitness scheme for a decade and is delighted by the council's move.
Chief executive Gillian Bremner said her only worry is that landlords could end up passing on the costs of the scheme to their tenants.
Dunedin landlord Kyle Elmer said the Tenancy Act already requires landlords to keep properties to a minimum standard and they will pass on the costs of compliance by increasing the rent.

With a wheelbase of 90 inches, 13-inch tires, and a high-tech coilover suspension system, including a three-link rear system, these front-engine cars are first class racing machines. Even the brake system is high-tech, including an adjustable brake bias system with steel braided lines to the wheels and a gas sampling hose. These cars carry an automotive-type powertrain with a Toyota Celica or Winters quick-change rearend.
This series has run since 2000, with about 150 cars built and raced on both road courses and ovals. With distributors in several states, the fiberglass-bodied Pro Challenge cars have run in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, and Ontario, Canada.
Challenger Dirt Late ModelsConsidering the huge interest in national Dirt Late Model racing, it's not surprising that a miniature version of the model would make its appearance. And that has happened with the DRT Race Cars' Challenger car. This 31/44 version of a real Dirt Late Model looks and drives just like the real item.
With a wheelbase of 83 inches and a 1,050-pound, ready-to-race weight, the car is highly responsive and fast. If this seems like the real thing, that's because the chassis and body are manufactured through GRT, a respected full-size Dirt Late Model producer. GRT produces the suspension parts and accomplishes the actual car assembly.
It's possible to buy a chassis with bumpers and mounts for $2,450, and a complete turnkey car can be bought for a reasonable $14,750.
There is no spec engine specified for this series-any stock four-cycle motorcycle engine from 600 cc-1,200 cc is legal-but a 750cc engine is included in the turnkey version. The powertrain is chain-driven.
You're not going to believe the suspension system on the Challenger design. There is a fully adjustable four-bar system with an adjustable panhard bar, along with upper and lower control arms. Additionally, it has caster and camber wheel adjustment capabilities and rack-and-pinion steering.
Presently, the body, which is fabricated completely of 0.040-inch aluminum, is available only in the Monte Carlo style.
The Challenger cars are currently in the formative stage with only exhibitions in 2003. Challenger officials, however, indicate that there will be enough cars to carry out some racing this season in Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee
Thunder Roadster CarsReverting back to the past like the Legend and Dwarf cars, the Thunder Roadsters are exclusively from 600 Racing Inc., and step back to an earlier design of open-wheel racer.
The tires are not covered with fenders, but are not completely exposed either, for they are mostly constrained within the outer confines of the molded fiberglass body. There is also a GP Thunder Roadster version for SCCA road racing, which carries full fenders.
The sealed Yamaha 1,250cc Blitz engine, equipped with a fan and a remote oil filter, is the required powerplant for this class.
With a wheelbase of 96 inches and a much higher weight than the other motorcycle engine powered designs, these cars weigh in at 1,500 pounds, including the driver. Also, the 15-inch tires are 2 inches larger in diameter than the other car designs. They are stopped by four-wheel disc brakes.
Suspension is coilover independent on the frontend and straight coilover on the rearend. On the front, there are double A-arms with adjustable Bilstein shocks. There are also rear trailing arms and a roll-adjusting panhard bar. These sophisticated machines are priced at $14,995, with the GP versions costing $1,000 more.

Cruise Critic Live! We Chat About Shore Excursions

We are looking to book an excursion in Florence with 'Cruise Excursions Italy' but are concerned that there are not lots of Trip advisor comments on this company, and would like to know if Cruise Critic has ever had any feedback on this company. The 'Florence City Tour' sounds great but just concerned.
May 14th, 2014 @ 6:19 pm
Isn't one of Cruise Critic's significant raisons d'etre do-it-yourself shore excursions? It's why I was attracted and hope to meet others via the roll call to pool our ideas.

The 2008 kernel summit
The agenda for the 2008 kernel summit has been posted. The summit is an annual, invitation-only event which is typically attended by 70-80 developers. It is a rare opportunity to bring part of the kernel community together for focused discussions on topics which affect the kernel as a whole.
What sorts of topics are those? In recent years, the summit has tended to emphasize process-oriented issues - those are the kinds of discussions which are hardest to have over electronic mail. So, for example, there will be a discussion on just when device drivers should be merged. There is a weak consensus that getting drivers into the kernel early is a good idea, but there are hazards there too: a premature driver merger can freeze a bad user-space API in place, and the UVC webcam driver, merged very late in the 2.6.26 cycle, brought a security vulnerability with it. So the real answer to "when should drivers be merged?" has yet to be found; we'll see if the summit discussion gets any closer.
One of the reasons why the kernel process works as smoothly as it does is that many of its subsystems are strictly independent of the others. A developer working on sound drivers need not worry about breaking the memory management code, for example. Some subsystems have strong ties with others, though; for example, i2c drivers end up being core subcomponents of video drivers, hardware monitoring subsystems, and quite a bit more. In cases like this, making changes which don't break other parts of the kernel can be hard; there is a session this year dedicated to figuring out ways to make that interaction have more smoothly.
Other process-oriented discussions include a session on tools, kernel quality (a perennial kernel summit topic), documentation, helping new developers join the community, and the organization of the kernel summit itself.
There will be some more technical sessions as well. The interaction between filesystems and the block layer is one of those; there is a lot happening in the filesystems area currently, and that has implications for how the higher-level code works. Boot-time tools - currently maintained independently by each distributor - will be discussed with an eye toward unifying some of that code. Improving suspend and resume - another longstanding topic - will be back this year. And, of course, there is no escaping a discussion on tracing, an area where Linux should excel but where things have not, yet, come together as they should.
Finally, for the third year, the kernel summit will hold an election for the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board (TAB). Six of the board's ten slots will be filled this year; as of this writing, there are ten candidates (including five incumbents). This time around, the election has been made part of the joint reception with the Linux Plumbers Conference, which will allow more people to participate in the process.
It's worth noting that, among many other things, the Linux Foundation has helped with the organization of both the kernel summit and the Plumbers Conference. There have been few developer-oriented events in the United States in recent years; I'm actually looking forward to going to a conference which doesn't involve customs formalities. Thanks to the Linux Foundation (and the many other people involved) for helping to make these events happen.

ANAHEIM HILLS – Some drivers intent on grabbing a Six Dollar Burger or other Carl's Jr. fare found themselves at an impromptu wake.
Clusters of people gathered near a makeshift memorial at times blocked the drive-through lane as they reminisced about a homeless man they knew as John Berry, or simply John. The memorial, next to an enclosure surrounding the restaurant's Dumpsters, grew throughout the day as people added flowers, candles and balloons.
The man, who was stabbed to death near the restaurant at Imperial Highway and La Palma Avenue on Friday night, hasn't yet been formally identified by the coroner. Police say he was the fourth victim of a suspected serial killer who preyed on homeless men.
"Why do people kill somebody else?" asked Marizela Bruestle of Yorba Linda, as her tears began to flow. "And a homeless person. I don't understand that."
Bruestle, her husband, and their two daughters knew the stabbing victim for nearly a decade. Something drew people to the man they called John.
"A good aura ... positive energy ... something," Bruestle said. "That's just what it was about him.
"Even with two little girls we had no problem approaching him," she added. "The first time we spoke to him he was just so kind. We just wanted to keep talking to him."
"He was unbelievably spiritual," said her husband, John Bruestle, who would often encounter the man when biking on the nearby Santa Ana River Trail, where the man often slept on a bench. "He never felt sorry for himself. You would think he lived in a palace."
People who spoke to the man in the last day or two of his life said he thought someone was stalking him.
"He said, 'I think I'm being followed. Say a prayer for me. I'm really scared,' said William Pawlak, 12, who often talked to the man at Carl's Jr.
But John wasn't afraid to die, Pawlak and other people said.
"He knew where he was going," said Kim Meggison of Huntington Beach. "He'd say, 'We will meet again someday.'"
Meggison met John about six years ago when she lived in Anaheim Hills and would jog along the river trail. When a man on a bus gave him $20, John used some of it to buy a Bible for her, Meggison said.
"All his answers were in the Bible," she said. "That was his life."

I have had this iMac for a couple of years, and I have had constant issues with the wifi periodically disconnecting (only recently cared because I have actually started using it). I have recently upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and that hasn't seemed to solve the issue. My Linux and Windows Machines that are right next to the iMac have never had any issues with wifi dropping out. What could be the problem here? I honestly do not like macs so I have never spent any time on them and therefore don't know much about how they work, so please keep that in mind when answering.
I have attempted to search it, and it does seem to be quite allot of issues with this, but no answers (at least not in the first 20 pages of most forums).

PPD unloads research center and picks up Magen
PPD agreed to sell its Piedmont Research Center (PRC) to Charles River Laboratories for $46 million in cash. Separately, the company spent $14.5 million to acquire Magen BioSciences and expand its compound partnering program into dermatology.For the remainder of 2009, PPD anticipates Magen's R&D activities will generate a loss of approximately $15.2 million, or a diluted loss per share of $0.09. Additionally, the divestiture of Piedmont will reduce PPD's projected full year 2009 discovery sciences segment net revenue by approximately $19 million. The net impact of this sale and the acquisition of Magen on PPD's full-year 2009 financial guidance will be an increase in projected diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.03.
PPD decided that a sale of its preclinical research services, PRC, would allow it to focus on its clinical research contract services. Charles River has basically focused on the early-stage services that PRC provides, like preclinical research and evaluation of anticancer agents. Charles River will continue to operate PRC from its North Carolina headquarters.
"Although this unit has grown nicely over the years, Piedmont Research Center is somewhat of a niche operation for PPD, and its in vivo and in vitro services should be a better long-term strategic fit for Charles River's preclinical research business," says Fred Eshelman, CEO of PPD. With the Magen acquisition, PPD gains a pipeline of compounds through Magen's exclusive license to develop and commercialize preclinical compounds discovered by Eli Lilly & Co. for dermatologic therapeutics. The initial focus is on psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and acne. The transaction also provides PPD capabilities to screen dermatologic compounds to determine efficacy and safety.

Obama Claims Drug War Is Over
I realize that it's difficult to read this title without laughing. Let's face it, the drug war is far from over and probably won't end for a good amount of years. Obama would like us to think that we're safe... But in reality, the DEA and law enforcement are going to continue to bust people for "crimes" when they could be focusing that energy elsewhere, on the countless other problems that plague the cities we live in.
The National Drug Control Strategy released last week said that officials were going to put on a more sympathetic and humane approach to drug users and the problem of addiction. There is talk of education and public health, rather than increased police forces and harsh punishments. Officials are also trying out this crazy new idea of using evidence to back up their claims and are trying to opt for compassionate messaging to the people. But is it for real or is this just a facade?
If you're one of the 264 people arrested in Philly for marijuana possession in the past month or so, you're probably not buying the fact that the drug war is over. Most people aren't, for that matter. The government may be telling us that the drug war is over but their actions speak much differently. The White House and the Office of National Drug Control Policy have spent years using taxpayer money and other resources to imprison, abuse, and ruin the lives of the people who have happened to fall in the grasp of addiction (whether it is cannabis or something else). These people do not need jail.
These people need help. And serious help, not the nonsense propaganda that anti-drug companies pump in to mainsteam media. Hey guys, here's a piece of advice. Your ads don't work and are the subject of massive ridicule in the stoner community (and I'm sure other communities as well). If you make an ad of a dog telling it's owner to stop smoking weed, there's a strong chance that people will for the most part just brush your ad off, change the channel, and pack another bongload.
Even though Obama and his cronies claim that they're trying to get the negativity out of the drug addiction scene, it'll never happen. Since the use of these drugs is still a crime and those "crimes" are punishable with jail time, community service, and loss of personal property or children, there will always be negativity associated with drug abuse. And not negativity in the sense of sympathy which is what is needed. Negativity in the sense that these people need help and our government would rather lock them up in jail, while simultaneously killing thousands of people not only in this country but in places like Colombia and Mexico.
Arrest rates in the United States are so ridiculously high (700 per every 10,000) that research is beginning to show that the amount of people in prison and not working/contributing to society. Too many people are in jail and there are not enough people working in society. The release is also a problem, as families get broken up and those released are less likely to get rehired at a job.
Does Marijuana Help You Exercise?
I like to exercise, especially playing basketball. Physical fitness is something that I have always tried to take seriously, although admittedly, I take it more serious at certain times compared to others. Currently, my physical fitness is not where it needs to be, but I'll try to get that figured out sooner than later. A question I have received at TWB from time to time is 'does marijuana help you exercise?'
I have lifted weights and played basketball after getting high, and it seems to put me in a zone that I don't get into when sober. I feel more focused, and more in touch with my body. Marijuana doesn't necessarily motivate me to workout, but once I'm at the gym, it helps me get a better workout, if that makes sense. Leafly recently published an article that talks more about marijuana and exercise. A few excerpts are below:
"It's not news to the medical community that the human body stores tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC), the main psychoactive in cannabis, in fat. However, a study put out this August in Drug and Alcohol Dependence has shown that this storage process can give exercisers an extra boost, even up to 28 days after consumption."
"Yet, contrary to popular thought, it's not just the endorphins (the compounds which make you feel excited after activities such as exercise and sex) that make physical activity so great. A 2003 study found that exercise actually activates the endocannabinoid system in the same way that the cannabis plant does. The endocannabinoid system is a group of lipids (types of fats) and cell receptors that cannabinoids (compounds like THC and CBD) bind to inside the body. The endocannabinoid system is responsible for easing pain, controlling appetite, and influences mood and memory. "
"A recent study published in the American Journal of Medicine has found that regular cannabis consumers have fasting insulin (insulin in your body before eating) levels 16% lower than non-consumers. The study also found that cannabis consumers had 17% lower insulin resistance levels and lower average waist circumferences."
Next time, before you hit the gym, try getting high first. If that's not your thing, then by all means don't do it. But if you are looking to see how marijuana affects your workout, give it a try. Scientific studies suggest it could help you out!

Larry OG Buds - Indica
Category: Nugs | Posted on Wed, July, 23rd 2014 by THCFinder
Larry OG Kush by the Cali Connection Marijuana Seedbank. Based mainly on genetics from the Californian Coast, USA. These guys marry the finest marijuana strains with their favorite OG Kush legendary strain. Larry OG Kush is no exception to this rule, using the fames Larry cutting and crossing with a F3 OG KUSH hybrid the boys have again produced some perfect pot seeds. Ideal for the ever growing, cannabis seed collectors market.
Pills or Pot; The Patient Debate
When marijuana became legal for medical reasons, it would make sense that people assumed that they would still be able to continue receiving other prescriptions that did seem to help. Doctors have the sole purpose of being around to help the patients in their care, not make them miserable and make them choose between medicines. If there doesn't seem to be a dangerous side effect, then the patient should have access to what works. Not what doctors like to prescribe.
I recently read an article about a man named Christopher*, a man in his 50s. This man is married, does volunteer work in the community, and runs his own business. None of these things are really expected of stoners it seems but Christopher seems to be managing pretty well... With the exception of his terrible migraines and the insomnia that has plagued him since he was a kid. These two issues combined make for a miserable lifestyle that has included taking Norco, a hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination that is far stronger than Excedrin or Tylenol with codeine. Christopher gets 15 pills per refill, which ends up giving him about seven doses of medicine. In addition to the pain killers for the migraines, Christopher has also been recommended a prescription for medical marijuana from a naturopath.
Christopher gets both medicines in the correct way, through the channels that are dictated by the law. However, the doctor that prescribes the Norco made Christopher sign an agreement, saying that if he tested positive for THC, he would lose his prescription. At the time, marijuana wasn't even a thought in Christopher's mind so he signed the paper. About six months later, a friend recommended that Christopher replace his no longer working Ambien prescription. Christopher gave it a shot, in hopes that the plant would help him sleep. It did. So Christopher continued to smoke in order to help him get to sleep at night.
But earlier this year, Christopher's Norco prescriber asked that he submit to a urine test. Christopher immediately stopped smoking and continued with his plans, leaving for 2.5 weeks before the test in hopes that the cannabis would have left the system. However, when he returned and purchased an at home test, it came back positive for THC. For the next two month, Christopher survived off of stocked up pills and took more of the at home drug tests. Every time he took one, he failed. But because of a lack of supply in the prescription drugs, he had to go back for the test. Instead of the cannabis, Christopher had been taking shots of rum before bed in order to knock himself out but it definitely wasn't working, especially when compared to the marijuana.
Christopher went back to the doctor about getting a refill and even though he hadn't ingested any marijuana in two months, he still failed the test and the doctor refused to refill the prescription. In his absolute frustration, Christopher went back to using the cannabis to help him sleep. "I gave up on trying to meet what seems to be an impossibly high standard," Christopher said. He recently submitted another urine sample, with urine that didn't belong to him. The results are still being anticipated. In the meantime, Christopher has had to resort to prescription sharing, something that is definitely illegal. In order to make himself feel better, he has to take pills from friends and family, again resorting to illegal activity since doctors can't seem to help people the way that they're supposed to.
Patients everywhere need to be aware of this treatment. Just because someone is recommended medical marijuana doesn't mean that they should be denied other prescriptions. Issues like this need to be addressed immediately. Otherwise, other patients will experience the same mistreatment that Christopher is dealing with. "This is just not a choice that people should have to be making," Christopher said.

CO Edible Company Gets Shut Down
Category: News | Posted on Tue, July, 22nd 2014 by THCFinder
Most know about the current war raging between state officials and the use of cannabis infused food. The edible market has been hurting since reports started surfacing that people were really losing their minds when ingesting edibles. Some claim that the edibles themselves are the culprit and not underlying mental issues but that's besides the point... For now at least. The war on edibles has taken a shifty turn with the closing of Denver's At Home Baked, an edible manufacturing company located in Colorado.
The Denver Department of Environmental Health put out a recall on products made by At Home Baked on July 17th due to what they called a possible contamination. At Home Baked was using a machine to make their water hash that helped to make the marijuana edibles more smooth, with a better consistency and taste in the end result. But the Department didn't see it as a good thing and instead, shut the business down. No one got sick from eating the edibles, an important fact that should be noted, and it is suspected that the shutdown was based on a someone's personal opinion (AKA the war on edibles) rather than on something factual and important.
Co-owner A.J. Ashkar stated to the Cannabist; "We're really frustrated with the entire situation," said A.J. Ashkar, the co-owner of At Home Baked who is known in the Denver marijuana industry as A.J. Hashman. "They came in and the machine which we were utilizing to make water hash was not a food-safe machine. Food-safe machines to make water hash do not exist. They deemed the water hash that we were making unfit for human consumption even though nobody has gotten sick from our hash."
The products of the company were recalled when there was a food service safety inspection, even though no one has suffered ill effects from the products. The device that the company was using was basically a modified washing machine that was solely used to product the water hash for the edibles. Even though the machine was not being used for anything else, the Department still said that it wasn't fit for human consumption. But there is no machine on the market that is able to create water hash that is deemed "food safe"... So what exactly are these companies supposed to use if not these modified washing machines?
Since the war on edibles is just going to get worse (I mean really, did we all think that it was going to be so easy?), expect to see more edible making companies having problems with the Department of Health (and not just in Colorado). Edibles, while far more potent than smoking, are a great source of medicine for patients who can't smoke or vape. They are easy to transport, easy to eat, and subtle. By targeting edible companies, the government and it's officials are just targeting sick people and trying to make more money off of them, causing our positive industry to grind to a halt.

The devestated family of a Barnsley teenager who was found hanged in his bedroom believe he could have been driven to suicide because he was being bullied.
Ashley Banks, 14, was found at his family home in Coronation Road, Hoyland on Saturday evening.
He had not left his room all day and his family just thought he was playing on his games console.
But when dad, Shane, went upstairs to tell him that his beloved Barnsley FC had beaten Blackpool, he was unconscious.
Ashley - a pupil at the Horizon Community College in Barnsley - had only started at the school in September after leaving Kirk Balk and transferring to Kingstone before its closure.
He had been diagnosed with the behavioural disorder ADHD and was undergoing treatment.
His family say he never told them he was the victim of any bullying but friends have come forward since his death to claim he was being singled out at Horizon.
Shane said there were no other obvious reasons why Ashley - a 'cheeky and cheerful lad' - would have wanted to harm himself.
"He was a lovely lad… You just don't dream of something like this happening to a young boy of 14 years of age when his family loved him and his friends loved him.
"We never thought he would have done something like this - it must have been on his mind to do something like he did. All I can put it down to is him being bullied and nothing has been done at school."
Shane said Ashley had moved from Kirk Balk to Kingstone School in July because of his bad behaviour.
He said he did not know his son was being bullied although Ashley tried to deal with problems himself and would not express his feelings.
The night before his death, the family had enjoyed a takeaway together and Ashley's mood seemed to change.
Shane added: "He was himself but then he just went quiet now and again. We didn't take much notice at the time then but you could tell the difference."
A meeting with staff at Horizon College is being arranged to investigate the bullying claims.
Paul Gallagher, co-principal at Horizon, said Ashley seemed very upbeat when he left the school on Friday and there was no evidence to suggest he was being bullied.
"The evidence from all the professionals who worked with him in and out of school suggested things were going well at school and there were signs of improvement.
"It's a sad day for the college and the community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
Ashley lived with his parents Shane and Donna and his two sisters, Charmaine, 16, and Bethany, nine.
On Sunday at 1pm, dozens of Ashley's friends are expected to take part in a tribute walk and scooter ride from Kirk Balk School to raise money for the funeral which will be at St Peter's Church, Hoyland next Friday at 1pm.
so very sad, my heart truly goes out to this young lads family, i myself know the heartache caused by suicide, my nephew commited suicide nearly 5 years ago, our whole family have been left totally devastated by this.
Very saddened to hear this news, it can be so isolating at school when you are being bullied. RIP young Ashley. Thoughts go out to the friends and family.
such a sad loss bless him i hate bullys rest in peace little man they cant hurt you no more love to the family of this youngster xxx
Rip lil man, maybe one day someone or something will stop the bullies, but the loss of so many lifes have already been taken. My thought are with ur family, fly safe xxx
Yes, of course this is very sad. But there is no evidence that bullying was the cause, so let's not jump to conclusions unless this is proved.
look here billie s. r you one of the bullies friends.
of course this poor little lad was suffering in silence.
i got bullied for 3 years when i went to school, its not nice.
i thaught the same as many other kids take my life and it will stop,thays not the answer! i spoke up i spoke to family and friends.
many kids dont have that option.
so before you start with your pathetic comment just think of what this poor lads mum n dad is going through.
learn to keep ya oppinions to ya sen.
R.I.P little man xx
I have just found out about how this young lad was pushed to the edge to eventually take his own life....so so very sad and what a waste of a young life!
I must say some of the comments in the Chronicle by Ashleys "family" really do disgust me!
This lad was a regular evening visitor in pubs in Hoyland....ask yourself why he sought refuge in pubs at nght even though he was under age.
He always said "I'm meeting my Dad here"...obviously wishful thinking on his part seeing as his real Dad(and Mother) failed him!
He was even found late one winter night inbetween the pub wheelie bins trying to keep warm....why wasn't Ashley at home in bed Shane Banks???
When Ashley did come in the pub he was always very polite and was never any trouble whatsoever.
Everyone took a shine to him even though he really should have been at home with "loving" parents......
If only we had an idea what was going on at home before Ashley decided to take this dreadful act then we could have possibly helped more...
The last time he visited the pub was only a few of weeks ago when he came and sat near us watching the midweek football on the TV. and again I can only stress how polite Ashley was....no sign at all of this ADHD(???) mentioned....more a very lonely young lad in need of company than anything else!
I've lived near Coronation Road in Hoyland for quite a number of years(at times,like now,it's too near and too many years to be honest due to the number of social failures that get housed there and then ultimately breed there!!!) and I can honestly say Ashley was a shining star considering who brought him into this world....and that's purely down to him and not his parents or family!
Rest in peace Ashley and be assured Karma will do it's best to the family members who failed you!
Why was Ashley always in local pubs at night when only 14 year old,hiding inbetween wheelie bins on winter nights to keep warm if he'd got such a "loving family"
Rest in peace young man and rest assured Karma will sort those who failed you!
oh my god, the last comment..on here, repeated several times. If its true then the 9 year old needs looking after. if its not true shame on you for writing that about 2 parents who have just lost their boy..
If you knew it was goin on y didnt you do anything about it?, Thats what social services are for
I know if I had seen this goin on with my own eyes, I would not have sat back and just complained about it. I would have reported it, if i had been wrong then so be it, better to be jumping gun than watch, complain and do nothing.
Social Services dont have a good name or a good track record but surely its better to report it than do nothing!!!. Im am by no means saying this is your fault in anyway wat so ever, but hell why didnt you report it? Maybe it would have been enough to keep the lad safer
This is such a sad tragedy, and it is heartwarming to know his friends are trying to raise money for his funeral.
However, my husband's friend works at the school and told us on Friday that they only received one email from the head of year 9 about what happened, and then another to say not to talk to pupils about it, and this was all last Monday with nothing since. Also, the evidence the co-principal says that there isn't any of could be found in 1) the tragedy itself and 2) the fact his friends who knew him best say he was being bullied.
I often drive past the school at 2.30 in the afternoon on my way to work and have to say I could fully see some of the pupils as bullies.
I feel so sad for this young lad and his family. I also feel very sad for the school and its pupils. The problem, in my opinion, goes much wider than one would think. Because of the terrible council cuts that have hit Barnsley there are no support agencies that the school and parents can use to help. I know for a fact that the educayional psychology service in Barnsley are down to a couple of people who will spend all their time writing reports for statutory purposes. Usually these kind of services are wiorking with individual children putting in programmes of support, and working with schools on things like anti-bullying schemes. I think the tradegy needs a full investigation by Ofsted as to why this happened... it goes beyond the immediately obvious. God bless that poor little lad.
In fact I have just read Ofsted safeguarding Ispection paper for Barnsley. It is classed as 'INADEQUATE'. He didn't stand a chance.
do you even know your kids 6 years today i lost my son through exactly the same way through bullying that noone even seemed to know about but yet i had been into school on a number of occasions and also had to have a hospital trip due to the bullying i didnt live with my son and there was no indication that he was going to do as he did the parents of this young lad will be going through hell please do not pull anyone down that you dont really know they will already be blaming themselves r.i.p little one god bless to you and your family xxxxxx
I dont understand why the article did not give any details about " how the little boy was found hanged in his room and how he managed to do it ".
I was not a close friend of Ashley's but close enough to see that he was not a horrible boy at all there was no reason for anyone hate or bully him as he was just an innocent little boy with no hatred for anyone, and loved his peers. And after maybe only a few weeks of going to kingstone school he settled in nicely, and made lots of new friends, i do really hate the fact that he was bullied, as i know that all his true friend and i were in floods of tears was the news was broke. God bless to Ashley and to his friends and family.
What a very sad thing to read , I offer my sympathy to his family , relatives neighbours and school friends.What retributions and disiplinary actions have been taken or addressed by his bullies?It saddens my heart to know this poor young man took his own life due to the actions of others.
Make an example out of the perpetrators and show the rest of the country that harrassment and bullying are very serious and not accepted in togays society.
.Procecute the aggressors.

Miami Dolphins Wrap: Has Miami's luck turned?
Are the Football Gods finally smiling on the Miami Dolphins again?
The Dolphins will take any little victory they can considering the climate in the sports landscape in South Florida, and early Friday morning the team got one.
The Dolphins won the coin flip with the Carolina Panthers for the eighth pick in the 2012 draft.
"Still undefeated in February," a smiling Jeff Ireland beamed as he left the flip ceremony with the coin in his bag.
The franchise finally has a trophy of a meaningful win.
It's a small victory, but a victory, and one that might signal the end of the Dan Marino curse, which is my theory that the Dolphins are destined for 13 years of bad luck for forcing their Hall of Fame quarterback into retirement before he was ready.
Fortunately for Dolphins fans, its been 13 years since Marino retired.
Who knows when the curse will officially be over – before the season or after – but the franchise is off to a good start in 2012.
Here's what else the Sun-Sentinel has to offer you about your luck team.
The Dolphins are OPENLY courting a quarterback, and aren't hiding the fact they intend to do better than Matt Moore.
Word on the street is that a Peyton Manning and Miami marriage could happen within the next month. Of course, Manning's medical status will likely determine that.
These are the traits coach Joe Philbin is looking for in his starting quarterback.
Here is the story behind the Manning-to-Miami billboard.
The Dolphins are searching for more athletic offensive linemen to protect whatever quarterback is added.
Can the Dolphins afford to lose two starting defensive linemen in free agency.
The Dolphins tap danced around the subject of Matt Flynn.
Coach Joe Philbin values the insight of his two mentors, who are on staff.
Stay tuned for more from the combine that considering quarterbacks, receivers and tailbacks will be talking.
The word here at the combine is Robert Griffin III measured in at 6-foot-3 today. So much for the hope that he checks in at 6-foot-1 and his stock drops. NOT HAPPENING.
The Rams reportedly listening to offers for the No. 2 pick, but I'm pretty certain it would have to be something overwhelming for them to execute a trade before free agency begins.

Hi, my name is Shana!
I've been drawing since 2007. First I started drawing on paper and eventually doing digital art. I still do traditional art every now and then but most of the times I don't upload it anymore or I scan it to work it out into a digital drawing.
I've been using Photoshop 4 and Paint Tool Sai. Now I mainly use PTS and photoshop for editing.
I'm not a very fast worker because i'm quite lazy but I do try to get my work done as fast as I can and want so sorry if you're waiting for more drawings from me.
If you have any questions, feel free to post me message on my page or send a note.

Accident That Injured 8 Miners Under Investigation
Written by Your 5News Team
Created on April 03, 2014 @ 12:52PM
RUPERT, W.Va. (AP) - State and federal mine safety officials are investigating an accident that injured eight workers at a Greenbrier County mine.
The state Office of Miners' Safety, Health and Training tells media outlets that a mantrip lost its brakes on an incline at the Greenbrier Minerals Mountaineer Pocahontas No. 1 near Rupert.
A mantrip is a vehicle that transports miners underground.
The accident occurred around midnight Tuesday.
Three workers were treated at an area hospital and released. Two workers remain hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. Three others declined medical treatment.
Greenbrier Minerals vice president Garry Groves says the mine employs about 125 workers. The company also is investigating the accident.

Tom Bergeron has been the charming and witty host of "Dancing With the Stars" for all of its 18 and counting seasons. He has seen stars and formats come and go. Who better to dish about the recent spate of celebrity judges than he? In a June 18 report on Enstarz, he does just that.
Bergeron recently spoke with Nigel Lythgoe, a judge on "So You Think You Can Dance," during an interview with Variety. The two dance reality show experts talked about their respective shows and the subject of celebrity guest judges.
In season 18, "Dancing With the Stars" proffered a new guest judge on almost a weekly basis. While that can be fun for fans on one hand, Bergeron commented that it can become "problematic" after a while.
To his way of thinking, viewers want a hand in creating stars. They don't want to be handed someone and told, here's a big star. Instead, they want to take part in turning lesser known entities into stars as was the case with Simon Cowell or Randy Jackson. According to Bergeron, "There's a certain pride of ownership that viewers take when they latch onto something that hasn't been already dictated to them."
During Season 18 of "Dancing With the Stars," guest judges included Robin Robert's from the network's "Good Morning America" show, RedFoo from the music group LMFAO, Latin singer and heartthrob Ricky Martin and the controversial Abby Lee Miller from "Dance Moms." Also sitting in the judges' seats during the season were former pro dancer Julianne Hough and former contestant and champion, singer/actor Donny Osmond.
Never before have there been so many guest judges in a single season and the tactic was no doubt employed to heighten interest in a show struggling in the ratings. One could argue that Abby Lee Miller and Julianne Hough at least had some functional expertise to bring to the judges' table. Even Donny Osmond, who had successfully navigated his way to a championship might have brought some expertise worth sharing. However, the others had no real base of knowledge from which to judge, often making their comments ridiculous and their scores unrealistic.
Whether the trend toward guest judges appearing in season 19 will continue is unknown. Cast announcements are likely in late August with the season 19 premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" set for some time in September.

I am back and I'm really ready this time. Emotional eating is a...
Sunday, February 10, 2013
...rhymes with witch.
Back in August, I thought I was ready to take on losing the weight I found. But I really wasn't.
So after a couple of months of "trying", I realized my issue wasn't will power, but rather that I was eating my emotions. In 2010, I had a series of devastating incidents happen: my cat that I had for nearly 15 years died, my disabled mom came to visit for Thanksgiving but had a fall, broke her hip and ended up staying here for several months in a facility where I had to report her being neglected/abused. Then, I found out my Aunt had brain cancer. Then, in the beginning of 2011 I found out an extremely upsetting family secret: my dad, who I had thought died of a heart attack in 1996, actually killed himself. All these things happened within 4 months of each other. And even though I have a loving, supportive partner, even he couldn't stop me from the emotional eating.
Once I admitted to what was eating me, I decided to take a break. To not even THINK about losing the weight and get "right" in my head first. Now this didn't mean I'd eat whatever I want and go on a binge fest, it just meant that I'd put my emotional needs first by doing a bit of soul searching and seeking out a therapist. I realized that if I didn't deal with the issues that made me gain the weight back, that I'd never lose it. And, if I did, it would only return if the issues weren't resolved.
Am I 100%? No. But I am ready to tackle losing the weight, and my therapist agrees. I decided to use the SASS Yourself Slim plan by Cynthia Sass as a guideline. I actually have the book from when it was called the Cinch! plan, I bought it when I read an article of hers in a magazine and was just looking for food ideas to spice up my diet. This was before the weight issues returned.
There are many things I like about Cynthia and her program. First, she's an RD and also has her Master in Public Health. So she knows her shtuff. I also like that she takes a whole food, holistic approach to weight loss and eating. Finally, I like that she has a whole chapter tackling emotional eating that includes exercises to work through it.
Perhaps the hardest part is the 5 day fast forward, which I'm currently on day 2 of. It's a not mandatory part of the program, but I felt my body needed a reset so I decided to do it. That said, I'm already sick of Raspberries...
Anyway, I hope all is well with my fellow sparkers. Have a great Sunday!

@DESERTMOTH- Emotional health really is so important. I was in a good place when I first lost the 150+lbs. And frankly, I don't think I would be trying to lose some of the weight I found if my life hadn't been turned upside down. IMHO, SASS is a great read even if you opt not to follow her plan. Lots of great, healthy ideas in general. :)

Robert Pattinson made headlines by attending Coachella with Katy Perry. While fans around the world have been wondering whether a romance is developing, not everyone is happy about Rob's choice for a Coachella date. A Tuesday story by Hollywood Life reveals that Kristen Stewart is upset that she did not get to attend Coachella with Robert Pattinson.
While it is not clear if Rob invited Kristen to Coachella, the story reports that she was unable to attend due to her hectic work schedule. The "Camp X-Ray" starlet has been busy promoting and filming numerous projects. Unfortunately, she was in New Orleans over the weekend getting ready to start filming her next movie.
Filming started for her next movie "American Ultra", and Kristen Stewart made headlines with her bright orange hair that was seen wearing on the set. Interestingly, the timing of production for this film seems to be bad for KStew.
In addition to missing Coachella, the starlet also had to spend her 24th birthday away from her friends. However, the starlet was not alone for her big day. A Tuesday story by E! Online reveals she went to a local restaurant with several of her castmates, and enjoyed a relaxing evening in a classic southern restaurant.
While the status of the relationship between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart is the subject of widespread speculation, the two have both been extremely busy with their careers. As a result, it is not surprising that Kristen had to forgo some fun for the sake of her career.
Kristen did not have to be in New Orleans for her new film until the start of this week. Do you think she made the right choice skipping out on Coachella with Robert Pattinson? Regardless, if these two stars want to spend time together, then they both have the money and power to make it happen.

Dvd Release Date: 2004-03-16
Genre: Drama,
Rating: R
Duration: 2hrs 05min
College professor Paul Rivers and his wife Mary find their union precariously balanced between life and death. He is mortally ill and awaiting a heart transplant, while she hopes to become pregnant with his child through artificial insemination. Cristina Peck, having matured since her reckless past, is a beloved older sister to Claudia, a good wife to Michael and loving mother to two little girls. Her family radiates hope and joy. Much farther down the socioeconomic scale, ex-con Jack Jordan and his wife Marianne struggle to provide for their two children while Jack reaffirms his commitment to religion. A tragic accident that claims several lives places these couples in each other's orbit. In the aftermath, Paul confronts his own mortality, Cristina takes action to come to terms with her present and perhaps her future, and Jack's faith is put to the test. If spiritual equilibrium is to be regained by any one of them, it could come at great cost to the others. Yet the will to live, and the instinct to reach out to another person for support, remains ever present among them all.

The Chigorin Defense: Chess Training ProgramProduct Code: 15-569
The Chigorin Defense: Chess Training Program
Product Code: 15-569
Information from the Chessbase website:
"On master level, the Chigorin Defence has been played relatively seldom, and probably that's one of the reasons why it has been analysed less intensively than other openings - good prerequisites for freethinkers and adventurers on the chess board!" (Breutigam) The Chigorin Defence resulting after the moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6 has become popular again thanks to the young Russian Alexander Morozevich, who with this choice has been holding his own even against the players of the absolute world top. It was high time for a publication to make the subtleties of this opening understandable also to the non-grandmaster, and this gap in chess literature now has been filled by FIDE master Martin Breutigam. In a small but swell database with 100 entries - 7 texts and 93 sample games - the long time player in the German Bundesliga has compiled all his knowledge on the Chigorin Defence. Another database includes 54 training questions enabling the user to test his freshly acquired knowledge. Furthermore, the CD features a big database of more than 4.000 games as a reference database plus a big tree of all games.

Although the upcoming "Pokemon Alpha Sapphire" and "Pokemon Omega Ruby" video games won't be released on the PS4 and Vita, a similar type of title is coming to the two Playstation platforms. According to a report by Segment Next on July 22, The Layabouts is currently working on a role-playing game called "Collectems." The project pays homage to the "Pokemon" franchise, especially in regards to the first two games in the series.
In "Collectems," players will be wandering around various locales to collect, train and battle creatures found in the areas. The Layabouts did add a few interesting twists to the formula, however. For example, the world is going be non-linear, allowing for players to explore all areas without having to follow a set path. Furthermore, the upcoming title adds "perma-death," meaning that the creature cannot be revived at all after falling during battle. The studio is allowing the DNA of the fallen to be transferred to other creatures, however.
Finally, The Layabouts added some options to increase the replay value. One of the features is randomization as the creature locations, towns and other areas on the world map will be different in every new game. The development team is also allowing players to set their own difficulty options, including the ability to disable the aforementioned "perma-death" feature.
Similar games have tried to reproduce the phenomena of "Pokemon" over the previous years. However, none of the titles were able to reach the same heights, in terms of popularity, as the originator of the monster-capturing role-playing genre. "Collectems," which is coming to the computer platform as well, currently has no release date.
The aforementioned "Pokemon Alpha Sapphire" and "Pokemon Omega Ruby" is being released exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 21 in the United States. The launch date for Canada has not yet been confirmed. A screen of the two latest releases from the franchise can be seen near the top of this article (courtesy of the official Pokemon Twitter page).
