The second of the two teenaged James Hargest College arsonists has been jailed, and a good job too.
OPINION: The damage Duncan Robert Roderick McRae and Campbell Leaf caused went beyond the figure now put at about $3.2 million. Such fires carry inherent risk to human life. Quite apart from the public, firefighters, for all their skills, step into danger answering these callouts.
Even after insurance the school's budget has taken a hit, its pupils and teachers have had to travel to classes elsewhere, and the rebuilding process, tied to glacial Education Ministry decision making processes, is still not complete.
Then there's the small matter of the emotional hit that is felt by a school community chosen for such an act of malice.
For his part, Leaf wrote a letter to Hargest expressing remorse. Judge Kevin Phillips didn't buy that, given that the fire was a second attempt by the pair after their first break-in, three months earlier, hadn't caused the scale of damage sufficient to satisfy.
As for what was perhaps the real upshot of the letter, a bid for a restorative justice conference, Judge Phillips was withering in his rejection given the supersized consequences of the offending and the number of people wronged by it. Any restorative justice conferences, he growled, would have to be in the Civic Theatre.
Arson's bad. We knew this already. As with so many other cases, the motivation in this one really remains a mystery because neither Leaf nor McRae has fully explained why they lit the fire.
Certainly, both had been consuming legal highs. Leaf, who had been drinking and had smoked two bags of K2 beforehand, had no prior convictions and later even told authorities he had enjoyed his time at the school.
From such a summary some people may be content to see legal highs as the trigger. Maybe so, but that does not make it the culprit plain and simple.
K2 and its ilk are seriously harmful and the full reach of their effects are still insufficiently understood. But the problem of arsons generally, and school arsons in particular, reach back far further than the advent of this unlovely product.
Nor can we permit ourselves to default to blaming kids. Let's not forget that supremely weird case where a volunteer firefighter stood up at a national conference in Invercargill in 1999 and asked an arsonist profiler if she could detect an offender just by interviewing him.
Her answer was that a semi-structured interview could help identify clusters of characteristics, but it would be unlikely to get enough from mere scrutiny or a brief exchange.
The questioner in that particular brief exchange, Keith James Raymond, was days away from being exposed as one of the worst serial arsonists in New Zealand's history, admitting setting 22 fires around West Auckland.
A further 30 charges were dropped. His sentencing judge called him a manipulative, calculating man and sentenced him to five years' jail.
By comparison the novice Leaf, incidentally, was sentenced to three years and four months; McRae to three years six months. Tell us again how courts have been getting softer.
Not that the problem has been lessening. Arsons continue hither and yon nationwide and in Invercargill - among them the Salford St shops on January 22, four less damaging fires in the city in the early hours of February 7, and the Christmas Day fires in Crinan St and Tay St. More successful prosecutions would be good because, atop the spikey penalties liable to be imposed, we still have plenty of questions to ask these clowns.

How beautiful in splendor is the chaste generation! Immortal is its memory because it is acknowledged both by God and by men.
"…the legacy he left is holiness"
God our Father, in Saint Pio of Pietrelcina You gave a light to Your faithful people. You made him a pastor of the Church to feed Your sheep with his word and to teach them by his example. Help us by his prayers to keep the faith he taught and follow the way of life he showed us.
The Vatican biography may be read here.
See more on Saint Pio here.
When thinking about Padre Pio's influence on the spiritual life it can be noted that he advocated 3 things:
1. Pray. And don't be overcome.
2. Conform yourself to Christ crucified.
3. Attend to the sacraments, especially the sacrament of Confession.
This day a brilliant star rises, for today Saint Clare, the poor handmaid of the Lord, is glorified in heaven.
*Saint Joseph of Cupertino is a firm patron of students, particularly seminary students. So, please for me and fellow seminarians here at Saint Joseph's Seminary (though this Joseph is the husband of Mary). He's also the patron saint for astronauts and pilots & stewards.
The liturgical calendar can vary from country to country and the various religious orders may have their calendar of saints, e.g., the Benedictine, Carmelite, Dominican, Franciscan, Jesuit, etc. On the universal Roman calendar today is the optional memorial of Saint Robert Bellarmine, a Jesuit, bishop, cardinal and Doctor of the Church (see the prayer in the entry below). On the Franciscan sanctoral calendar, today is this the feast of Saint Francis' stigmata. And so I offer these Mass prayers for prayer.

Everything was great!!! Our flight was delayed 7 hours. By the time we got to our resort room everything was already there (and put away in fridge!). It was so wonderful to simply hand my son a gogurt from the fridge and apple pack without having to trudge back to food court. After such an unexpectedly long travel day we were so glad we did this order. And, had breakfast for the week, drinks and snacks for the parks and after. Very easy to order ahead, prices comparable to our grocery store back home and can't beat the convenience. Thanks so much!!(:
Found out about Garden Grocer on AllEars.net used for the first time in Aug 2014 staying at OKW.. Ordered all the breakfast essentials and some extra things.. Found the prices reasonable for this service.. Everything was accurate and waiting for us at check in.. Will definitely use again! Was a big plus on this trip! Thank You..
This was my first time using Garden Grocer and I highly recommend it. It was very easy to use and the delivery was quick. Great service!

University vs school of life: Degrees no guarantee
Related Links
Relevant offers
I am one of the lucky ones. I gained full-time employment before the end of my three year Sport and Leisure degree. Significant considering most people I know who completed the same degree either went on to post-graduate study, a change of degree, or accepted a job with little relevance to the sport industry they wanted to crack in to.
Completing a degree does not guarantee employment. It may get your foot in the door because it shows that you are able to commit yourself to something and see it through. What employers really want, is experience. You see that word in almost every job advert, anywhere. Having experience made all the difference in me being able to secure a job in the field I wanted, instead of having to continue on being employed in retail.
How did I get my experience? I volunteered. I gave up my time for free (a thought that a lot of people find strange). This allowed me to meet people who could offer me greater opportunities than just being the person who helped with registration or pack-up at an event. I can say with 100 per cent certainty that if I had not volunteered for two and a half years, I would not have been offered the current job I have, and have had for over a year.

Natalee Holloway's accused killer will get to marry his pregnant girlfriend in a prison ceremony while serving a 28-year sentence for young Peruvian woman's murder.
Dutch citizen Joran Van der Sloot, 26, remains the main suspect in Holloway's 2005 disappearance from Aruba, where she was on a high school vacation. She was 18 years old at the time, and her body was never found.
On Friday, Van der Sloot will marry pregnant fianceé Leidy Figueroa, 24, at Lima's Pedras Gordas penitentiary in a midday ceremony.
Wedding bells: Joran Van der Sloot (left) will marry pregnant fianceé Leidy Figueroa (right) in a prison ceremony on Friday at midday. Van der Sloot remains the main suspect in American teen Natalee Holloway's 2005 disappearance
The two met at the prison, where Figueroa sells candy and cigarettes to inmates. She is currently due to give birth to his child in September. All prisoners at the penitentiary are allowed conjugal visits, explaining Figueroa's pregnancy.
Van der Sloot is currently in prison for confessing to killing 21-year-old business student Stephany Flores at a Lima casino in 2010. He was sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2012.
Van der Sloot is also suspected of killing 18-year-old Holloway, who vanished during a high school graduation trip to Aruba in 2005 and was last seen with him and another man.
Mystery: Natalee Holloway went missing from Aruba in 2005 while on a high school trip. She was last seen with Van der Sloot and another man. Her body was never recovered
Targets: Van der Sloot is currently in prison for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores (right) in Peru. Van der Sloot pictured on the right during the Flores trial in 2012
The Alabama teen's body has not been found and Van der Sloot has denied involvement in her disappearance.
Peru has said it will extradite Van der Sloot to the United States for questioning about the Holloway case but only after he finishes his jail term.
In the U.S. he will faces charges for accepting $25,000 from Holloway's mom to lead her to the girl's body, something he never did.

Commenting on the Komen reversal RE breast cancer screening at Planned Parenthood, Senator Campfield makes the claim that abortion causes breast cancer. He has a website link to prove it. "It's on the internet so my version of science is true" should be Campfield's slogan.
Dispensing medical information from such a high pulpit as State Senator, Campfield should rely on established authorities like the National Institute of Health or the National Cancer Institute, for instance. But he will not. Only dishonesty will serve his intentions.
The National Cancer Institute refutes Senator Campfield's claim unequivocably:
In February 2003, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) convened a workshop of over 100 of the world's leading experts who study pregnancy and breast cancer risk. Workshop participants reviewed existing population-based, clinical, and animal studies on the relationship between pregnancy and breast cancer risk, including studies of induced and spontaneous abortions. They concluded that having an abortion or miscarriage does not increase a woman's subsequent risk of developing breast cancer.
This misinformation is, not surprisingly, making the rounds on FOX news as well.
Good grief. Is he determined
Good grief. Is he determined to completely self-destruct? Cause running around in Mexican wrestling masks and trying to join the Black Caucus are one thing. Spreading misinformation about public health issues is quite another.
People are not amused.
Unfortunately, Campfield is
Unfortunately, Campfield is not alone with this particular bit of misinformation. Over the past 7 years, numerous religious-right nut jobs, particularly rrnj's in government and pregnancy crisis centers, have tried pushing this misinformation.
Even Bush the lesser edited the National Cancer Institute in 2002 to reflect there was a link between abortion and breast cancer. Rep Henry Waxman was a champion trying to end this dangerous line of thought/coercion.
It is FALSE information, and as far as I'm concerned, anyone that continues to push this falsity should be charged with being a danger to the general public.
Oh, for the love of...
Does this man not have any handlers who can pull him back from the precipice?
His only "handler" appears to
His only "handler" appears to be Terry Frank, whose name frequently pops up with his on Google searches. A woman named Terry was the first caller to the Hallerin Hill show last week after Martha Boss had been on air, and worked her way down a list of Campfield defenses. It was pretty professional-grade spin doctoring.
Her devotion to Stacey is all the more impressive (if that's the right word) considering that she's middle of campaigning to be the Republican nominee for the office of Anderson County mayor.
What a creep. The guy is a
What a creep. The guy is a danger to society.
Why does the Commandment
Why does the Commandment "Thou shalt not have gay sex" overwhelm the one that says "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness"?
Spreading misinformation about public health issues is quite another.
What strikes me is that this is the second time this week he's gone head-to-head with another government agency on a health issue about which only the agency is qualified to speak.
Last week, he was blogging to dispute the Knox County Health Department and this week it's the National Cancer Institute.
Surely, surely that kind of behavior is something the legislature can and should censure???
And only ONE person in politics in TN had the courage!
I mean only ONE had the guts to stand up and call for his censure. MY County Commissioner has had enough of being embarrassed around the UNITED STATES by this lunatic's continuous reciting his warped, criminal, and dangerous opinions on human sexuality...with his LIES and hate speech that has caused the deaths of 3 young people in this State of Hate against the LGBT community. The rest of local and State politicians continue to claim 'he is funny'...a joke...has a right under our First Amendment to spout his idiocy, his hate of women and gays. Haslam, Burchett, and the entire Legislature should 'man up' and tell him to shut up. Most of them even gave to his campaign just to keep a Republican in that Seat...they didn't care who, obviously. And yes, he is about to go off the edge and needs psych help. Thank you Sam McKenzie. You had the integrity and strength of character to say out loud what the rest of East Tennessee has failed to say...except for Martha Boggs. Campfield is not a joke any more. He is dangerous.
All that's missing now is the
All that's missing now is the clown costume.
Thanks for the Terry Frank info Betty.
This lunatic has all the
This lunatic has all the necessary characteristics to be a fixture in Tennessee politics for at least the next twenty years.
The guy can be beaten by a decent candidate with two hardworking interns and a financial base willing to counter his major moves. People act like he can't be beat, but he can. It is far less costly and difficult than you guys make it out to be. He's won by desire and that is all it will take to defeat him.
Yes, he can be beaten. His
Yes, he can be beaten. His success up until now has been due to the fact that he identifies those in his district that believe as he does, works tirelessly door to door, and makes sure his supporters vote. That kind of diligence pays off; I'd be willing to bet that he gets EVERY bigot in the district to the polls. Normal thinking people not driven by hatred are far less likely to go to the polls. But, that's what it will take--working hard to get the turnout from those that oppose him.
I'm starting to like
I'm starting to like Politifact again.....
Of course Campfield could be
Of course Campfield could be beaten, but only in a GOP primary.
Last time, he won the GOP primary with 39% of the vote.
Ron Leadbetter had 36%.
Steve Hill had 22%
And some guy who posts constantly on Stacey's FB page, Nick Ciparro, had a few, thus giving credence to the stories that Campfield always gets a ringer or two into the race to help split up the vote. But Ciparro didn't help him -- Steve Hill, who entered the race late, did. He had NO chance to win, but seemed to believe he did. Without him, Campfield would not have won.
Of course Leadbetter, who is a generation older than Campfield, was, back in the day, considered just about as right-wing crazy as Stacey is now.
Hill, who ran around badmouthing Stacey during his failed campaign ended up getting appointed as the seat warmer after Burchett stepped down from the senate seat after the primary. Hill then
gave Stacey money and publicly supported him.
So as long as there is no strong candidate who announced early, and there are retired guys with large egos splitting up the anybody-but-Stacey vote, he's pretty safe.
Monkeying around
Been thinking about that monkey love:
To pass on the virus, wouldn't it have been the monkey doing the screwing? How would that work?
Would the guy wanting to have sex with the monkey have to seduce him? Take him out to a monkey dinner?
And hell, monkeys are mean. Remember that chimp up in Connecticut that ripped that woman's face off?
Maybe Stacey is more familiar with this kind of thing than I.
Protecting his face is what
Protecting his face is what the leather wrestler's mask is for?
Probably involved plying him
Probably involved plying him with banana daiquiris.
I thought I heard somewhere
I thought I heard somewhere that Campfield doesn't drink.
He doesn't.
He doesn't.
He needs to start.
Maybe it would mellow him out.
What would one wear if one's
What would one wear if one's objective were to get lucky with a monkey?

Written on: 25/07/2013 by edwardslinds (1 review written)
I ordered two t-shirts for my son on 11/6/2013, using his birthday money. On 18/6/2013 they informed me that the shirts were on "special order" and that I could wait 21 days or cancel the order.
On 27/6/2013 I cancelled the order, asking how and when they were going to process my refund, they acknowledged the cancellation on the same day but guess what, no mention of a refund. Alarm bells at that point.
Several emails later and I am still no closer to getting a refund - they are "having problems with their payment gateway...."
So, I have now contacted trading standards, citizens advice and action fraud, the police site for reporting fraud and internet crime. I advise others to do the same - getting the refund is part of it but I also want them stopped as, from these reviews (and as trading standards will see) they do this often!!!

People dream of seeing the Big Five - lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinoceros - in one of Africa's incredible national parks, but it's an expensive and time consuming trip that's not always feasible.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other places to see big game outside of Africa.
India has tigers, Brazil has jaguars, and the US has bears, wolves, bison, and more.
Here are the best places to go on safari that are not in Africa.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is considered one of the best safari destinations outside of Africa.
The Southeast Asian country has its own 'Big Five': Asian elephants, leopards, sloth bears, blue whales and sperm whales.
Yala National Park is supposed to have the highest leopard density in the world, while herds of Asian elephants make their home in Udawalawe National Park.
Several tour operators also organise trips through the Indian Ocean to spot blue whales.
The best time of year to go to Sri Lanka is January to April, during the dry season.
From the dense Amazon jungle to the wetlands of the Pantanal, Brazil is teeming with wildlife.
The country also has its own 'Big Five': Brazilian tapirs, giant anteaters, giant river otters, maned wolves, and jaguars.
Many of these animals are difficult to spot, but if you head to the right region, you'll have a good chance of seeing them.
The Pantanal region, the world's largest wetland, is probably your best bet, as it's home to jaguars, giant otters, macaws, pumas, and giant anteaters. Mato Grosso, which is home to maned wolves, river otters, and countless species of birds, is another good wildlife viewing region.
The best time of year to visit is during the drier months of June-October, when the Jaguars are easiest to spot on safari.
You won't find lions or hyenas in India, but you will find tigers, elephants, one-horned rhinos, and more.
There are over 80 national parks in India.
One of the best places to see one-horned rhinos is in the northern state of Assam in Kaziranga National Park, which has over 1,600 Indian one-horned rhinos, as well as elephants, swamp deer and birds.
The state of Madhya Pradesh in central India is home to several national parks, including Kanha National Park, which served as the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's 'The Jungle Book,' and Bandhavgarh National Park, a remote park which is one of the few places where you have a good chance of seeing tigers.
In Kerala, in southern India, the Periyar Tiger Reserve is home to tigers, elephants, leopards, giant squirrels, and dozens of bird species, including the elusive Kingfisher.
It's best to avoid visiting India during the monsoon, from June to September.
The US is one of the largest and most beautiful countries in the world.
It has almost 60 national parks, which are teeming with wildlife.
Grizzlies make their home in Alaska's Denali National Park, coyotes abound in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park, alligators and crocodiles live in Florida's Everglades, and wolves, elk, bison, bears, deer, and moose call Yellowstone National Park home, just to name a few.
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
Ever since Charles Darwin discovered and studied countless species in the Galapagos Islands, it has been known as an eco-friendly destination filled with incredible animals.
There are giant sea turtles, sea lions, hammerhead sharks, bottle nose dolphins, iguanas, and more.
The only way to get around is by boat and dozens of tour operators offer tours of the region.
The peak season lasts from mid-June through early September and from mid-December through mid-January, but there's really no bad time to visit.
Ok, so it's not a real safari out in the wild, but Singapore's Night Safari, the 'world's first safari park for nocturnal animals', offers a unique way to see animals' behaviour at night.
The park has over 2,500 different species of animals from all over the world, including leopards, lions, and tapirs, all of which are enclosed in their own habitats (much like a zoo).
Visitors can either take a tram or walk around the park. Tickets cost US$35 ($42) per adult.
The Nepalese jungle, known as the Terai, is a subtropical forest that's chock full of rhinos, elephants, and more.
Explore Royal Chitwan National Park and look for animals either on elephant back, canoe, four-wheel drive vehicle, or on foot. The park is home to the Royal Bengal tiger, leopards, one-horned rhinoceros, deer, wild boar, bison, monkeys, and sloths.
Visit during the dry season from late September to early December, when the views are clearest.

Hard financial times are here, so this is article is really handy. Thanks! :)
When we think about weddings we rarely do just that – think. We fantasize, direct our own fairytales and imagine perfect ballroom scenarios. Lavishly decorated and perfectly planned weddings are priceless, but only in our memories.
Eventually that priceless wedding will result with a check. YouQueen will show you how to have a wonderful, summertime wedding that will take forever to forget, but not forever to pay off.
You are getting married. Hear that world? You are getting married! Your desire to shout it from the rooftops, although awesome, is not quite practical. You'll need invitations. There are some shamelessly expensive ones, and I bid you ignore them. I know they are stylish, I know they seem adorable, just keep walking. If you do, you'll find an array of really beautiful wedding invitations from very cheap suppliers. Wasting half of your budget on a stylish piece of paper might look good, but it can be used for something better.
I know. Brides to be hate this part, but before you start screaming about the wedding being about the bride, and the bride being about the dress, and the dress needing the blah, blah. Who said anything about the bad looking dress? Yes it is an extremely important dress, but it is still a dress! Remember when you found that super fitting pair of jeans online? It is possible. A lot of future brides met their husbands online, I'm pretty sure it's a lot easier to find a dress.
So, you've found the one, you've invited guests and you have the dress, but now you need to pick decorations. Decorations often look luxurious, and so does the cost. Luckily, you already have all the necessary ingredients for a perfect decoration, you only need a quick look around you. Paper lanterns, candles, fruit, and unavoidable rose petals are not only affordable but also – utterly adorable. Choosing to cut the prices of décor, gives you a unique chance to do just that – create something truly unique. Since the summertime is here – use it. An outdoor wedding is an excellent idea. When it comes to venues – ask around. Start looking for a venue as soon as possible to avoid choosing in the nick of time. Do not be shy about asking about the cost of the extras as they can be an unpleasant surprise later on.
Ok, ladies, do yourselves a favor – don't choose a tacky favor. In this case a lot depends on the wedding itself. If you are into flowers, choose, for example, a nicely wrapped flower seed. Or, if you're into poetry pick a box of whatever and insert your favorite verse to surprise the guests. You can always use an economic compromise and pick some favors made for couples, thus reducing some of the cost.
Oh, sweet, sweet cake! Or why not – a cupcake? Or a smaller, charming cake? How about a personally made, classic? There are a lot of cheap wedding cakes out there for your enjoyment, and, believe me, as for the rest of the wedding ideas, whatever you choose it will be a sweet choice, indeed!

"I love the wall decals. It is so much nicer than a picture hanging in some areas. It's worth it."
"I've bought two wall decors for my grandson's room in my house. Loved both of them. Really completes the look of the room."
Joyce N.
"We ordered, what I thought, was a calendar on a hard source - not a vinyl calendar. I did get an RMA in case we return - haven't decided yet. I didn't notice on purchase that the calendar was vinyl decal and not on an already hard back surface. Now, if we keep, I have to go get a hard back surface for it.
Anyway, that's my answer. Sharon."
Sharon Sciarappa
"I loved your decals! They came with easy to use instructions. I used them to spruce up a corner of our over sized garage. I have designated "the party corner". I painted the corner, threw up some folding tables & put up the chandelier & candelabra. Everyone that sees the decals just falls in love with them. On the more industrial side of the garage I applied the 747 airplane. After all we live on Airport Road. I love that it glows in the dark. I am addicted & can't stop surfing your products!"

Houston, TX, April 17, 2014 --(PR.com)-- While several companies are still recovering from Heartbleed, Presensoft remains unaffected by the recent internet-wide security vulnerability that affects the OpenSSL framework which is used by many websites to privately send data to and from an internet server.
Presensoft Inc., a leader in hosted archiving and compliance for IM and email, reassured customers their archived data remained safe and protected in the cloud.
Taking it a step further, Presensoft conducted an internet security health test to see where the company stands in comparison to competitors. Using Qualys® SSL Labs' public utility, a free online service which performs deep analysis of the configuration of any SSL web server on the public internet, Presensoft scored an "A" in overall internet data security. On the contrary, shocking results revealed several competitors scored well below a passing grade using the same test.
"First and foremost, Presensoft has always valued itself as a security company, providing safe and reliable compliance services to the most heavily regulated business around the world. We were the first IM compliance vendor in the cloud and have extended our leadership to email, social media and data integration with Salesforce.com," said David Pulaski, CEO of Presensoft Inc.
Presensoft encourages its customers who use multiple vendors to fulfill their compliance requirements to test all of their systems regularly. Specifically, organizations should test their current archiving vendors' websites and, more importantly, their cloud based applications to ensure adequate protection. Qualys® SSL Labs' SSL Server Test is a great place to start. (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/)
"Presensoft constantly tests the health of our application and network security with various tools to ensure improvements in our software does not equate to a reduction in our core competency as a data security firm," said Pulaski. Based on Presensoft's high score, the company demonstrates its proactive approach to meet all modern day information security requirements.

Film: Funny video shows you what it would be like if Google was a man
Imagine if, instead of being an online search engine, Google was a man in an office, surrounded by stacks of papers too high to see over. Imagine if every time you had a question to Google you not only had to wait in line outside his office, but you also had to watch ashamedly while he rummaged through the aforementioned files. Imagine the things you'd hear.
And then stop imagining, because fortunately for us those irresistible kings of fun over at College Humor blew everybody's minds earlier this year with their hilarious short, What If Google Was a Guy. And here's some even better news, they've just come back for round two, which sees Mr Google daub himself with paint in celebration of Jackson Pollock's birthday, bury his face in his hands when a beautiful girl continues to ask him why her farts smell and fight repeatedly with a representative of the NSA. This is brilliantly funny stuff. Happy Friday folks!

House of Greenland and Sigur Rós create interactive video artwork for the new Tate ModernOwen Pritchard —
To celebrate the opening of the new extension to Tate Modern in London this month film production company House of Greenland and digital agency Phantom have collaborated with Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós to create a new video artwork. "Tate wanted to create an interactive video before the opening of the new building," says House of Greenland founder Martin de Fleurian. "The fact that Tate was built in a powerplant and now rises towards the sky like a sort of temple dedicated to art seemed like a great source of inspiration to us."
Filmmaker Maceo Frost captures formidable subjects with rhythmic flairJamie Green —
Namibia Flores Rodriguez is Cuba's female boxer. Since Cuba's Boxing Federation bans women from the sport, she has undoubtedly become their voice. This stands despite Cuba's long and noted history of Olympic success in the male contests. The subject of a beautifully shot, rhythmic new short film by Maceo Frost, Namibia proves herself not only as a force of physical prowess, expertly capable boxer, but potently captured on film positioned as a hopeful force for social change.

Mattress Men: a new film tells the tale of Dublin's local hero Mattress MickOwen Pritchard —
When the tiger economy collapsed and Ireland, like most of Europe, was left in dire straits, mattress salesman Michael Flynn decided he needed to more cleverly market his wares and put up a series of provocative signs in his shop window in Dublin. He teamed up with film maker Paul Kelly to reinvent himself as Mattress Mick and, along with his new sidekick Mattress Man, quickly became a local celebrity.
Baker and Alex Simpson's film on the legacy of modernist architect Wells CoatesRebecca Fulleylove —
Photographer Baker and filmmaker Alex Simpson have teamed up to create this short film about pioneering modernist architect and designer Well Coates and his buildings, The Isokon in Hampstead, London and the Embassy Courts in Brighton. The project initially started as a photo series by Baker a few months earlier: "I approached Alex with the idea of making it into a documentary, once it had all been planned, worked out and light/camera gear favours pulled in, we shot it over a two-week period," says the photographer.

Montpelier police desperate for income?March 21,2012
I received my first traffic violation of my adult life the last week of February. I misjudged time and distance when the yellow light blinked on. This happened at 7:50 a.m. where Route 302 and Berlin Street separate. If the camera was how I got ticketed I wouldnt be upset.
The officer who came and got me made me wonder, was it the end of the month and the city needed money and camera needed backup? No danger was ever present as no traffic (if there was any) had time to move. Given my age (56) I was most put off by being asked if I was active-duty military and not if I might be a Vietnam-era vet with a spotless driving/accident record. The 5 p.m. pedestrian crossing at Route 14 and 302 is much more dangerous and a lot more money could be made there with little effort. No right turn violations.
My only help for others would be for all of you to enlist/re-enlist to catch a break in Montpelier.
God bless the military (active duty, of course).

Drum circles have great benefits
By Sean Shealy - Arroyo Grande
I feel the need to respond to Diane Smith's letter ("Dear rational Shredder:" March 13), specifically her comment "Logic and rational thought is [vital] … I find it tragic that something … has driven the masses to the kind of hysteria that leads to …drum circles … ."
As a HealthRhythms facilitator, trained in this medical protocol developed by neurologist Barry Bittmann, I must appeal to Smith's logic in evaluating the proven benefits of group drumming.
Overall, the published and reviewed research shows that group drumming improves the function of the immune and cardiovascular systems, reverses cellular stress, improves mood, reduces burnout rates among workers, and reduces anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Bittmann's own peer-reviewed research demonstrates the following:
• a statistically significant increase in the activity of natural killer cells, the white blood cells that seek out and destroy cancer and virally-infected cells.
Aside from these objective measurements, I have also witnessed and experienced the personal transformations and emotional release brought about by drumming.
