A tiara is a type of crown. While the word has been used to refer to a wide variety of crowns throughout history, nowadays it typically refers to the type worn by female nobility, beauty pageant winners, and superheroines.
Tiaras are fairly common in Sequin Land. Shantae wears one in most of her forms, and often other genies do as well. In earlier games, the tiaras tend to have a gem in the center, but in newer designs the tiaras are featureless golden V shapes.Interestingly, non-human creatures are also seen wearing them - Warp Squid Mothers and their Bats, Dance Spirits, and various statues. More specifically the Fighter's Gear in Shantae, allowing Shantae to do a Twirl Attack.

One of the many subjects which The Paradoxicon – my work in progress novel – addresses is that we cannot change the past, nor the future, for our future is mapped out already.
I have many fond memories of the past and I have hopes for the future.
When I was younger, a teenager in fact, I was a punk. Punk is more a way of living than simply music. Punks buck the trend, or rather punk bucks trends; we go with our hearts and fuck the system. A song from that era could be one played at my funeral: Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with? by The Buzzcocks. We rebelled. We conducted secret, forbidden relationships.
Back then I used to send coded messages to the one I'd fallen in love with and if I was lucky, she'd send one back. It was exciting. It was rebellious. We knew that we were doing something which no-one else would approve of. But we didn't care. We were in love. We raised two fingers to the world and kept ourselves secret. It was about what we wanted and nobody else. Above all else, that feeling of love for someone and of being loved by that same person meant that the rest could go to hell. Only we knew and nothing else mattered. Only we knew that warm feeling which carries you through life's struggles: the knowledge that someone cares. Really cares.
And history repeats.
Sometimes someone walks into your life; breaks into your life. Although all the barriers are up because the heart can't stand being broken again, there's one person who can break those barriers down. When that person broke into my the life I had at the time, I knew. The thing is, I knew it was wrong. That's why I didn't tell her.
And so my heart remains broken because I can't be with the person I want to be with and all I can do is send messages to the past.
Keep your head up kid. I know you can swim. You just gotta keep moving your legs.

No more UAE for Malaysia in Asian Games
Incredibly, the Asian Games football competition had just went through another re-draw and that is the third time that a draw has been done for the competition.
But more remarkably for Malaysia, the draw sees Ong Kim Swee's side now regaining a probably chance to qualify out from the group stage.
Editors' Picks
In the second draw done last month, United Arab Emirates were dropped into Group E that already had South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Bahrain and Malaysia.
However Iraq's withdrawl from the Under-23 competition meant that Asian Football Confederation had to perform another draw, albeit a limited one.
Having earlier parachuted Palestine into Group A and UAE into Group E to make it a 5-team group instead of the 4-team group in the other four groups, one of the those will have to take the spot left behind by Iraq in Group C.
Fortunately for Malaysia, it was UAE who was drawn to move over to Group C, hence making it only three group matches for the team to play and meant that the initial August 12 fixture against UAE is no longer valid.
It however remains to be seen if AFC will make any changes to the scheduling as now it will be a big gap between Malaysia's first match on August 10 (v Kyrgystan) and August 17 (v South Korea).
Ong's squad departed for more training and a friendly match in China in the early hours of Friday morning. It was because of the previous schedule that Ong had to cancel a friendly against Saudi Arabia in Kuala Lumpur and instead fly straight from China to Indonesia.
It is not yet known if the friendly against Saudi will be resurrected but it will all depend on if there's any revising of the schedule for the Asian Games.

The Scout Section is for all young people aged between 10½ and 14, no matter what your gender, faith, or whether you have any disabilities. A young person can come into the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 14½ years old. The Scout Troop is the third and final Section in the Scout Group, after which Scouts are encouraged to join the Explorer Scout Section which is run on a District, rather than Group, level.
Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements, there are a number of Activity and Challenge badges that can be put on your uniform shown here.
Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes
Being outdoors is important and taking part in both the traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities from abseiling to yachting, form an important part of the activities.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.
The 2nd Brewood Scout Troop meets on Friday evenings between 7 and 9 pm.
For more information on the Scout section, please contact us today.

In conjunction with National Breastfeeding Week in Canada, pasteurized Donor Human Milk (pDHM) will now be available at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital as a supplement option for families transitioning newborn babies to breastfeeding exclusively, while in hospital.
"As a family doctor, and mom of three, I am so excited for pDHM to be available at our hospital," said Dr. Joanne Fynn, a family physician at Alliance Health Clinic in Moose Jaw. "Moms who want to exclusively breastfeed will now have this safe and beneficial supplement option available, if needed, while in hospital."
The pDHM for the program is purchased from an accredited milk bank in Calgary called NorthernStar Mothers Milk Bank, which is federally regulated and accredited by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America. Yorkton Regional Health Centre also currently offers pDHM for newborn babies.
Pasteurized Donor Human Milk is milk from a mother who has generously donated her excess breastmilk to an accredited milk bank where it has undergone a pasteurization process (heat treatment) to make it safe for all babies. It protects babies against infection and disease and it provides for optimum nutrition, growth and development of babies when mom's milk is not available. Donors must pass an extensive screening process similar to donating blood, including an interview and blood tests. Currently, there are three milk drop-off sites in Saskatchewan in Regina, Saskatoon and Yorkton, with plans to start in Moose Jaw in the future.
According to the Canadian Pediatric Society, breastmilk is universally accepted as the optimal source of nutrition for the first six months of life, and should remain part of a healthy infant diet for the first two years and beyond.

For a small market town, Chippy had a lot going on in 2011. Here are just a few of the events that took place – all covered by the print version of Chippy News.
February: The new style Chippy News was launched.
March: Ken Norman's "Big Society" video about Chippy Lido funding went viral.
April: The summer season at the Lido started, with the cafe under new management.
May: The Westgate department store on Topside was bought by Bournemouth-based Beales.
June: David Cameron officially opened the town's new hospital.
July/August: Four new trustees were appointed at the "thriving" Chipping Norton Theatre.
September: Dean Pit controversially closed, leaving people with a long trip to find their nearest tip.
October: Thames Water's pipeworks – originally due to have been finished in the spring – now miss their new deadline.
November: The Town Council unanimously rejects controversial plans for a new, edge-of-town Sainsbury's.
December: Organisation starts for the town's Neighbourhood Planning Project – one of the government's "frontrunner" schemes to encourage more localism.
Those are some of the headlines from 2011 – we wonder what we will be reporting on over 2012?

"How tough /are/ you, actually?" (CW: friendly violence.)
Village Lofts - East Village
There's kind of a college-dorm feel to this place, though some of its occupants have left college behind. Entering the apartment finds visitors greeted by the perpetually messy living room, a mismatched assortment of couches and chairs (and milk crates) surrounding the wide table in the center. The wall holds a range of posters; some political, some sporty, some from video games, and a string of white lights strung over the kitchen doorway might be a holdover from Christmas. A widescreen television stands against the wall opposite the couch, shelving beside it holding a host of video games from different consoles. More shelving beside the windows on the far wall carries stacks of board games, as well as sourcebooks from various RPGs.
The kitchen adjacent is just as cluttered, its table unfit for eating due to its perpetual covering of books, papers, cereal boxes, projects; the fridge is usually sparsely populated. Ketchup. Beer. Not a lot of food. There are two bedrooms here and one bathroom situated between them, split between the three people who live here.
It's mid-afternoon, sunny and mild, and the windows of the apartment have been thrown open to let in the cool spring breeze. Steve is sitting on the couch in a plain black T-shirt and plain blue jeans. He has a blue TARDIS mug in one hand and the 5th edition Shadowrun core rulebook open in his lap. His head is cocked far to one side, a deep frown etched into his brows. He traces his finger down the glossy page, lips moving silently as he reads, perhaps in the vain hope this might help him make sense of the content.
There's a rush of air, a snap of wings, a thump out on the fire escape. Dusk has to pull his wings in tight and close against his back in order to duck in through the window -- he's in jeans, sunglasses, beat up old Vans sneakers, a black t-shirt reading 'Aperture Laboratories' next to a stylized blue diaphragm. There's a bag slung crossways over his chest; he's unclipping the strap from it as he enters. Stops, looking over at Steve for a long moment, then continues on to drop his bag onto the kitchen table. "They trying to rope you into a campaign?" One polished sharp thumbclaw flicks toward the book in Steve's lap.
Steve looks up from his reading and very nearly starts out of his seat at Dusk's arrival. But then settles back down, blushing faintly. "Hey. Campaign?" He looks down at the book. "No, um..." He frowns again, suddenly uncertain. "I don't /think/ so? I was just killing time waiting for Flicker, and it looked interesting." He drains the rest of his coffee and sets the mug down, pale blue eyes tracking Dusk. "I confess I can make neither head nor tail of it."
"Yeah, uh, if you want we have books that are /actually/ books and not --" Dusk's next gesture is a little more expansive, the tip of his wing flexing outward toward the bookshelves. "That's just a manual for a game." He leans up against the edge of a counter, bending over to tug off his shoes. "You need more coffee or something? Flicker going to be long?"
Steve's lips twitch, but ultimately he just flushes deeper and closes the book, returning it to where he had found it on the coffee table. "I'm alright, thank you. Just restless." Then adds, a touch sheepishly, "/Probably/ drinking a whole pot of coffee didn't help with that." He gets up and goes to wash his mug at the kitchen sink. "Said he shouldn't be long, but couldn't say for sure." He glances over his shoulder at Dusk as he sets the mug out to dry. "How are you holding up?"
"Yeah, sometimes I think Flicker has the right idea with that shit." Dusk nods towards the coffeepot. "Like it helps with being awake, sure, but do /any/ of our nerves really need more rattling?" He pulls his sunglasses off, scoops up his shoes to trudge towards the door of his room and kind of -- toss the shoes inside. After a moment of thought, the sunglasses, too. "I'm sure you could find more bigots to punch if you're feeling edgy, the neighborhood doesn't seem short on them lately." He moves to lean up against the back of the couch, after, his wings rolling out and downward languidly. The smile he gives Steve is quick and sharp. "Me? Restless."
"Right idea?" Steve looks slightly blank, but shakes it off quickly. "To be honest, I'm not sure it actually does /me/ any good or ill except in some...mind over matter sort of way." His broad shoulders hitch up slightly. "But I still like how it tastes." He looks at the open window as though expecting some bigot to be conveniently loitering on the fire escape. "Tempting! I'd hate to send Flicker looking for me all over the village, though. For all the three minutes it'd take him." He curls his right hand into a fist, then flexes it open again, the motion slow, almost mediative. Shakes his head sharply. Returns Dusk's smile -- just as quick, if a lot less sharp -- eyes lingering on his wings. "Do /you/ want to go find some bigots to punch?"
"Have you managed to avoid getting a phone so far?" Dusk holds up his hands, mimes texting. "You could just. Tell him. Where you're at." He curls his own right hand into a fist -- though loosely, only for the purpose of propping his chin on it, his elbow resting on the back of the couch. "I found plenty all night. Honestly I think it just makes me more restless sometimes. Needs to be done, but it's not --" One wing hitches up in a small shrug. "/Satisfying/. They don't put up much of a fight."
"Oh! No, I've ah..." Steve reaches into a pocket and pulls out a low-end LG smartphone. "...had this for months, actually. Just still forget I have it on a regular basis." He tucks it away again. "I see what you mean." He paces around the living room once and finally sits down on an arm of the couch, about on level with Dusk. "I shouldn't brag too much, but if you want to punch /me/, I've been known to put up a fight."
"Well. They're helpful for things like. Not being tethered to our couch when Flicker goes off to -- whatever the hell he's doing." Dusk has been letting his head droop, eyes slipping lazily half-closed. They open again at the offer, though. Wings tucking back in, brows lifting. His dark eyes skim over Steve slowly; for a moment his tongue swipes against his teeth. "Huh." There's a curious note in the sound, his mouth pulling into an easy smile. "I don't, uh, want to sound --" His hand waves vaguely in the air. "But like. You've been known to put up a fight against -- /humans/, right?"
Steve quirks a slightly lopsided smile. "Aside from one particular Nazi supersolider, my opportunities have largely been limited to humans, as far as I'm aware. But this --" He makes a sweeping gesture that encompasses Dusk, the empty kitchen, the open window looking out on Tompkins Square Park. "-- is a brave new world. I can't say for /certain/ I'd put up what you'd consider a satisfying fight because I don't know your standards for that, but..." He shrugs one shoulder. "/Maybe/ I would."
"Jesus Christ, the Nazis had supersoldiers too?" A shudder runs through Dusk's wings. "There's an ugly gang of nazi mutants who come around some times and they're awful enough." He straightens, looking towards the window briefly. He's casual about ambling back into his bedroom, returning with sunglasses once again -- though a different pair than he'd arrived home with! "Aright, I'm game if you are. But I --" His teeth press down against his lower lip. "How tough /are/ you, actually?"
"At /least/ one," Steve sounds quite certain on that point. "They always claimed to have others, but it's hard to separate the propaganda from the reality, especially where it interacted with their fixation on racial superiority." Here his eyebrows raise up. "I...would have thought that Nazis would be very hostile to mutants, as they were to anyone they considered to pollute their Aryan perfection. Maybe they've adapted to the times." He stands up and watches Dusk. Rolls his shoulders in a slow stretch. "I'm not sure if someone's invented a scale, but I /have/ survived..." He looks up, brows wrinkling in concentration as he ticks off each item on a finger. "...being run over by a tank, falling six storeys, and drinking Alsatian hooch -- among other things -- with fairly minimal fuss. Actually getting shot is usually a /bit/ more obnoxious." He splays his hands open. "Crashing into the ocean and being frozen for seventy years /did/ take me out of commission for a while, so if your sparring involves /that/, I'll take a rain check."
"We're far enough from the ocean, I don't think that's a worry." Dusk gives Steve a longer looking over before putting on the sunglasses -- a large wraparound pair that straps securely behind his head -- and heading toward the window. "C'mon. I know our house looks like a storm blew threw here but probably my housemates wouldn't appreciate us /actually/ trashing the place." He climbs out onto the fire escape, holding out a hand towards Steve.
Steve nods, kind of /solemnly/. "I /was/ joking, but -- perhaps there are situations where it...might be relevant? I'm still finding out just how woefully unprepared I really am for the twenty-first century." He takes Dusk's hand and ducks out onto the fire escape. "On the roof, then?"

The fire escape doesn't go all the way up them, a small gap left between the sixth-floor apartments and the roof proper. Certainly not insurmountable -- likely most reasonably athletic people could jump up and hoist themselves over the ledge. Dusk's wings do most of the work for him, when they get to the top, stretching up to hook claws against the concrete and pull up until he can grab it with his hands, swing his legs the rest of the way up, clamber over the railing. He drags the plastic table and its accompanying folding chairs over by the raised-bed garden in the center of the roof, his shoulders stretching afterwards as he looks to Steve. His wings stretch, too, very briefly flexing out to their full wide length before folding carefully in again. "I feel like you oughta set the boundaries, here. I'm guessing most people you spar with haven't usually had -- claws."
Steve follows Dusk up the fire escape and hauls himself up onto the ledge with ease. He helps clear away the patio furniture even while he admires the view. "We used to love sneaking up onto the roof, me and -- my brother. Our landlord hated it, but when we were younger, it was the only kind of privacy we could get." He shakes his head impatiently, his smile brittle and distant. "Sorry. I um -- you're right. I guess those claws can slice pretty deep, which..." He shrugs. "Fight until one of us yields? As long as you aren't puncturing major arteries or major organs, I'll be fine. Though since I'd like to actually get in some camping and continue helping out with guard duty when I get back, might be nice to also avoid severing -- entire muscles or ligaments?" He frowns. "But, if you're used to fighting with them and can't ah.../retract/ them, that'd probably handicap you quite a bit, right?"
Dusk tilts his head slightly to one side, the large glasses shading much of his expression. "Our landlord wasn't too fond either, but he made piece with it after Jax put the garden in." His wings ripple, fold up a little tighter. "They don't retract." Though the question about handicapping him gets a furrow of eyebrows, a very small twitch of lips. "Flicker's pretty serious out on the rocks, I wouldn't want you to get left behind. Maybe save the claws for another day." He takes a step back, toes curling against the rooftop. Lifts a hand, beckons to Steve with a sharper smile. "Right then. Let's do this."
"I'm pretty sure he /could/ leave just about anyone behind," Steve speculates, "anytime he likes." He settles his center of gravity, weight visibly shifting onto the balls of his bare feet. This is not the stance of a formally trained fighter, but there's something oddly self-possessed about it all the same. He looks like a man who's been knocked down a thousand times, fully expects it to happen a thousand times more, and isn't the least discouraged by the prospect. And he does not need to be invited twice.
When Steve moves it's startlingly fast -- not /Flicker/ fast, but very obviously superhuman -- closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye and opening with three left jabs aimed at Dusk's face, chest, and solar plexus. Despite his speed there's a remarkable amount of /control/ in this attack, each blow hard enough to stun -- and probably incapacitate the average human, if they were to land solidly -- but not severely injure.
Dusk shifts his stance, planting his weight firmly. His wings mantle slightly outward, his fists curling as Steve shifts into motion. When Steve actually strikes, he -- does nothing at all, only growling low and soft, rolling through the punches but trying in no way to avoid them. It's only /after/ these first three blows have landed that he moves, one wing slicing in hard, its long upper spar aimed in a solid crack toward the side of Steve's skull. Dusk turns his opposite shoulder in toward Steve at the same time, fist coming up in a quick hard -- and tightly controlled -- jab aimed just under the other man's ribs, a solidly bone-cracking -- for an average person -- level of force in the quick strikes.
Steve raises his arm much too late to deflect Dusk's wing, his eyes going a bit wide. But though the wing spar catches him squarely across the side of the head, he seems more or less unaffected -- his eyes blink rapidly and his head snaps aside a little, but other that he keeps going. He doesn't even /try/ to block the jab -- which thuds apparently harmlessly into his side, only incidentally robbed of some power as he swivels to deliver a /much/ more powerful though still precise cross which, if it connects, could probably break most human's jaws.
Dusk's lips peel back into a bright grin. There's something in his stance that eases after the punch connects, after Steve keeps moving easily. His other wing snaps up, cracking at Steve's arm to deflect the blow as the heel of his hand rises hard toward Steve's chin. The wing that had just connected with Steve's head keeps moving, curling in with a surprising flexibility -- sweeping out lower against the inside of the larger man's shin.
Steve is unfazed when his cross is turned aside, and brings his other arm up to block the blow aimed at his chin. It's the attacking wing -- again -- that catches him off-guard. Though his footing is not /easy/ to unsettle, once it's obvious Dusk it strong enough to make that happen he just /goes/ with it, slamming his knee up at the other man's hip.
Dusk draws in a sharp breath, teeth clenching at the blow to his hip and a low growl rumbling in his chest. His wings stretch out, beat down hard. Not entirely taking off; just giving him a considerable amount of extra lift when he leaps into the air. Spinning up and over Steve -- flaring a wing out hard as he comes back down, swiping towards Steve's chest. His elbow is following in nearly the same moment that he's landed.
Steve seems less flat-footed about Dusk's death from above than he had been about the wing attacks in general. /Slightly./ He raises his left arm and sinks his weight back onto his trailing foot, bracing his immense strength to counter the force of the blow. The block yields, though, for the incoming elbow -- he just /takes/ it on his chest, though a step backwards disperses the force of the blow somewhat -- so that he can thread lock his arm through Dusk's and bodily throw the smaller man to the concrete rooftop.
Dusk hisses -- his enormous wings flex out, snap back inward to fold Steve along with him as he's thrown. His breath comes out in a hard rush. For a moment his teeth bare, beginning to snap toward Steve. He catches himself with a hard click of teeth, a deeper rush of colour flooding his pale cheeks and a deeper growl rumbling in his chest. His head slams upward toward Steve's with a frustrated snarl.
Once again, Steve seems startled by the reach and strength of Dusk's wings and is drawn along to the ground. He lands on top of his opponent, forearm slamming down into his chest -- and he is /heavier/ than he looks. His eyes go very wide at the snap of Dusk's teeth, his pulse pounding loud and fast, but he manages to conquer the impulse to pull back. He meets the headbutt fiercely and does it /again/ right after in a bid to bounce the other man's head into the ground beneath them. /Now/ he tries to pull away -- perhaps expecting to be able to overpower the skin-and-bones cage of those wings -- but to no avail.
Dusk's head cracks back against the concrete; he hisses again, teeth still bared. His wings curl tighter around Steve, a shifting cagelike vice of bones. One arm slides up between them, pressing up against Steve's throat as his wings press down.
Steve tucks his chin down, but cannot quite keep the pressure off of his neck. His initial discomfort at proximity of Dusk's fangs seems to have passes, but his pulse is racing even faster now as the wings tighten around him. He flings his weight hard to one side in an attempt to roll them both onto their sides, or at least to throw off their equilibrium enough to get some leverage for his open-palm strike against the arm choking him.
Dusk's grip doesn't slacken. They do roll, with the shift of Steve's weight, tumbling still cocooned together. Dusk's inner wing stays bearing down hard against Steve's back. There's a slight shift in the fingerbones of Dusk's outer wing, pressing against the rooftop, carrying the momentum along until now he is atop Steve -- all the better to press his weight down harder, the harsh rasp of his growl as Steve's hand hits against his arm echoing louder in the semi-enclosed fold of space.
Somewhere mid-roll, Steve clearly realizes that he's in trouble, but there's an blaze of determination in his pale blue eye. Before Dusk's weight has settled fully on top of him, he squirms one hand loose and jams his thumb into the other man's jugular notch while slamming his knee up at -- at this point, whatever he can reach, and quite hard. His breathing comes fast and labored, each breath a struggle, but there's a certain kind of serenity in his intensity now that wasn't there before.
Dusk coughs -- rasps -- snaps his teeth at the hand Steve jabs into him, though they clack closed on air and not flesh. There's a tremor that runs through him, easily felt in the close space. The arm that has been at Steve's throat shifts, hand closing against the other man's neck instead. Teeth still clenched, growl still rumbling, there's an incongruous deliberation in the curl of his fingers against Steve's throat, firm but not bearing down any longer. Just a brief moment of /restraint/ while his wings shift, claws clicking against the concrete to either side of them, more tent now than cage as he levers himself partly up. Lets his hand slide to the concrete beside Steve's head -- just as his other fist smacks down hard into the hinge of Steve's jaw.
The moment the pressure of Dusk's arm eases off, Steve tries to kick the other man off of him -- and probably would have succeeded if he'd moved /just/ a touch faster, but hypoxia has taken a toll on his reflexes. As it is, he only manages to get one leg up between them, still gasping hard, before the punch lands. Steve's head snaps back against the concrete, then forward, before dropping back down with a painful thunk. Blood trickles from the corner of his mouth and he blinks, his left hand reaching and slapping the rooftop hard, several times.
Dusk pushes himself off and away at the slaps, falling onto his back on the rooftop beside Steve. One of his arms drapes across his chest, one of his wings splayed out wide beside them. He rubs at his throat, his breathing raspy, still. His head rolls to the side towards Steve, and he lifts a hand to slowly adjust his sunglasses -- pushed askew but still held in place by their snug elastic band -- back into place. There's a bright flush in his cheeks -- a sharptoothed smile spreading across his face.
Steve just lies still for a moment, chest heaving. Despite the blood on his lips and trickling from the corner of his mouth he looks -- almost peaceful, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face. "Oh," he says, finally. "Wow." Licks his lips. Rolls his head aside to look at Dusk. "I ah...hope I put up...enough of a fight."
"I don't think you gotta worry about your performance, that was --" Dusk shivers, swallows hard. Slowly pushes himself up, his wings flexing and pressing down against the rooftop. He offers a hand out to Steve. "We'll definitely have to do that again some time."

Chris Slade, who is technically still the drummer of AC/DC – although Phil Rudd was recently spotted around the studio with Angus Young, Stevie Young, and Brian Johnson – talked about his return to the fold back in 2015.
Chris first joined the band in 1989 as a replacement for Simon Wright. In 1994, he was replaced by classic AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, whom he then replaced in 2015.
Anyhow, you can check out Slade's conversation with United Rock Nations :
Did you expect them to call you back [in 2015]?
"No, no. It was a complete surprise. I was actually working with Timeline in Switzerland when I got the call from the manager. And I said, 'Does this come from the guys? Do they want me to play drums?' 'Yeah.' It was a complete surprise. A very nice and welcome surprise, but a surprise nevertheless."
Did you have an audition for the comeback?
"No. They didn't even audition Phil when he came back in [in 1994]. And they should have. [Laughs] I'm sorry, but that's true. [Laughs]"
How do you feel about all the recent lineup changes in AC/DC?
"It's different, obviously. It can't be the same, except the music is the same. The only thing that changes is the singer. And Axl [Rose] did a great job. He did an amazing job, actually.
"People sometimes listen with their prejudice. And people also listen with their eyes, they don't use these [ears] sometimes. They just use this [eyes], or like, 'Eh, I don't like him.'
"It doesn't happen so much now, but when I got back in, it was, 'Ah, Slade can't play drums. He's useless. He's absolutely useless drummer. He should go and have lessons so he can play like Phil.' That happened a lot.
"And it's like, people are listening with this [eyes] and going, 'I don't like him.' They don't listen with their ears. I understand people's prejudice, but yeah…

Spokane Chiefs trade Ethan McIndoe to Edmonton for pair of draft picks
UPDATED: Wed., Sept. 25, 2019
Ethan McIndoe arrived at the Spokane Arena as usual Wednesday morning, but when head coach Manny Viveiros ushered him into the general manager's office, McIndoe suspected it wasn't going to be a usual day.
"Right away, I knew," McIndoe said.
Western Hockey League rules mandate that teams have to get down to three 20-year-olds by Oct. 15, so McIndoe was dealt by the Chiefs on Wednesday to the Edmonton Oil Kings for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 WHL Bantam draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2021 draft.
General manager Scott Carter said the uncertain status of 19-year-old defenseman Ty Smith was a factor in the team's decision to bolster its back-line depth by keeping two 20-year-old defensemen, Noah King and Filip Kral. Smith, a first-round NHL pick, is still with the New Jersey Devils, but it is unknown whether he will be sent back to the Chiefs or stay with the Devils.
With forward Jake McGrew back from his preseason stint with the NHL's San Jose Sharks, there just wasn't space on the roster for the 20-year-old McIndoe, who has played 263 WHL games, all of them with the Chiefs, since they selected him in the third round of the 2014 Bantam draft.
"You never wanna see one of your best friends leave," said McGrew, who shared an apartment with McIndoe. "But I know it's a good opportunity for him."
In one sense, McIndoe is going home. He is from Camrose, Alberta, a little more than an hour's drive from Edmonton.
Carter said he could have received more yield had he dealt McIndoe to a different team, but it was important to him to send McIndoe to a good situation.
"Getting him close to home and putting him on a competitive team was important," Carter said. "He'd been a real good player for us, a real good kid for us, and wanted to make sure that the bad news at least had a softer landing."
McIndoe said he appreciated that.
"It's pretty ideal going to a good team and a good organization, close to home," he said. "It says a lot (Carter) was looking out for me in that way."
Viveiros said Wednesday that having four talented 20-year-olds was a "luxury," and during the preseason he said that outside factors would ultimately make the decision for the team as to which three they would keep. Had the Sharks sent McGrew to their American Hockey League affiliate or the Maple Leafs made a similar choice with Kral, a spot would have remained for McIndoe.
"A bit of a tough day," Viveiros said. "It's certainly a real difficult decision, no question about it. He's been here for such a long time, and he means a lot to the organization, and more important, to those guys in the room. He's a guy who was a leader, a great hockey player and a great person."
McIndoe, an assistant captain last year, was coming off his most productive season with the Chiefs, with 16 goals and 24 points in 63 games in the 2018-19 regular season. In four regular seasons, he had 62 goals and 61 assists. He also scored eight goals and added nine assists in 23 playoff games.
The Chiefs (1-0-1) host the Tri-City Americans (1-1-0) at 7:05 p.m. Saturday in their home opener. They play the Oil Kings once this year, at Edmonton, on March 4. Edmonton is 2-0-0 to start the season.

Rallies on Syrian refugee policy held in Hartford
HARTFORD >> Opponents and supporters of plans to accept Syrian refugees into the United States held dueling but peaceful rallies in Hartford.
Supporters gathered Saturday at the state Capitol, gave speeches and held signs, including ones saying "Fight racism, Islamophobia and imperalism!"
Opponents gathered near the Capitol before a planned march to the Governor's Residence.
State Capitol police say both events were peaceful.
Matthew Oakes, a spokesman for the group in favor of accepting Syrian refugees, cited a responsibility to support people fleeing the Islamic State group.
Angelia Balch, an organizer of the "Say 'No' to Syrian Refugees" rally, told the Journal Inquirer that she's upset at Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's support of refugees and wants a federal law requiring the Homeland Security Department to get approval from Congress before accepting refugees.

At Cascade Pet Camp, we partner with several local organizations to make our community a great place for pets of all kinds. Every now and then, we like to highlight one of those organizations to bring awareness to their cause. This month, we'd like to introduce Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue, a no-kill cat shelter that serves Hood River, Wasco, and Skamania counties.
Adoption Services for Cats
Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue is a non-profit organization made up entirely of volunteers who are dedicated to helping cats in need. They rescue, rehabilitate, and place abandoned cats. They also help neglected and injured cats. The organization offers adoption services for families willing to take in these cats. They also offer low cost, or no cost, spaying and neutering services for feral cats in the area. The volunteers foster many of the homeless cats until they can find forever homes. Over the past several years, Cascade Pet Camp has also fostered a number of these kitties in our cat room until they have been adopted.
Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue started in 2007 when a group of people realized the need to help stray cats who were otherwise neglected by government and private organizations. These people got together and brought awareness to the problem, which helped them recruit a volunteer network to take action. They are now a no-kill shelter dedicated to finding forever homes for homeless cats.
How Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue Works
When a homeless cat is identified, Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue takes the time to rehabilitate the cat so they can be accepted into loving families. Before this can happen, they require all their cats to be spayed or neutered in an effort to reduce euthanasia. They are continually developing new outreach programs designed to recruit adoptive families and to enrich the lives of both the cats and the people in the community.
Throughout their care, CGCR maintains high standards when it comes to the health of each cat. They then provide solutions and resources to educate local families in regard to husbandry, medical and behavioral issues. They do whatever they can to strengthen the human-animal bond that creates great homes for their cats.
Because they are a non-profit organization, they receive no government funding, which means they must rely entirely on the support of the public and their volunteers. To find out more about Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue and to learn how you can help cats in need, head to their website at GorgeCat.org.

L.A. Weekly Writer Contemplates Her TV Celebrity Cousin
You may know Gail Simmons from the Bravo show Top Chef and same-network spinoff Just Desserts. Perhaps you have purchased her brand new book Talking With My Mouth Full.
But what you surely don't know about Simmons, unless you have already read this L.A. Weekly item, is that she is also the cousin of article author Tibby Rothman. The reporter takes about seven paragraphs to get to that fact, and moves on hilariously from there:
Then, in 2008, the ultimate blow. There she was, younger, getting married. Me, the don't-have-an-agenda girl, still bereft of a ring. Family intervention got me on a plane to New York. The in-flight entertainment featured Top Chef. I watched CNN.
Tons more great detail in the Rothman piece, from the food items disgorged from her cousin's carry-on bag to Simmons' humble career beginnings as a fact checker at a Canadian publication.
We also love how Rothman describes the lobby lounge of the Beverly Hills hotel where Simmons stayed while in town for her Red Medicine restaurant book release party. A place "afloat in screenplays, and matzo ball soup will run you $12."

Stunning Drone Photos Offer a Beautiful Glimpse of Asia from Above –
With his mom's camera in tow, Jonas Hornehøj found his passion for photography during a three-month internship in Thailand two years ago. While the 24-year-old notes that his equipment has drastically changed since this life-changing trip, his fondness for photographing Asia hasn't. This enduring interest is particularly evident in his drone photography, which showcases amazing aerial views of the country's landscapes.
From the lush forests of Bali to the lagoons that dot the Philippines, these photographs give viewers a glimpse of Asia from above. With their vivid color palettes and expertly-crafted compositions, the photographs show the beautiful countries from a new perspective.
Given his affinity for Asia, it comes as no surprise that Hornehøj's most memorable drone photograph was taken in the Philippines. "My favorite photo ever taken needs to be a drone shot I took in the Legazpi area in the Philippines, of an ATV trip near Mount Mayon—a perfectly conical volcano," he tells My Modern Met. "The conditions that day were unbelievable! We arrived to the area and it was drizzling and we were worried about being able to take the photos we had in mind, when all of a sudden the clouds started parting and an insane sunset appeared out of nowhere!"
Similarly, he notes that Asia has hosted two of his most unforgettable vacations. During a trip to Danjugan Island, "a little piece of heaven with beautiful coral reef all around it, incredible wildlife, and just an all out magical vibe," he enjoyed living like a local. And in China, he was astounded by the diversity of the landscapes and the eye-opening shift in culture he experienced.
So, where is Hornehøj heading next? Asia, of course! Following a photography and blogging workshop in Bali, he'll be traveling to Thailand to attend the Yi-Peng lantern festival in Chiang Mai.
Following the festival, however, he'll be sailing toward new horizons. "After that I will head to Denmark for a week, whereafter I will be heading to Portugal and Spain for a two-week road trip to some spots I have never seen before on any social media, so I'm pretty excited about that," he tells us. "After that all is unknown, but things I'm looking into are potentially going to the United States for a road trip, and otherwise only other thing I have locked in more or less is a trip to Peru in April!"
You can keep up with Hornehøj's adventures around the world on Instagram.

A total of six local cowboys and cowgirls have qualified to participate in their respective national rodeos, which take place later in the summer.
The six performers finished in the top four in the Colorado State High School Rodeo Association's final standings in their events.
A pair of cowboys from Ordway's Sharon family qualified for the National Junior High School Finals Rodeo, which will occur next week at the South Dakota State Fairgrounds in Huron, South Dakota.
Waitley Sharon qualified for nationals in two events. He will compete in saddle bronc steer riding and boys' goat tying.
Waitlley finished fourth in the state in both events. He scored 86 points in goat tying, and 37 points in saddle bronc steer riding.
The other Sharon family member, Traven, will also compete in saddle bronc steer wrestling. He was third in the state in that event with 46 points.
The Sharons also finished ninth in the state in team roping with 23 points.
The unofficial draw for the NJHSFR was announced earlier this month. Traven, a rookie in junior high rodeo, will have his first ride in the Sunday evening performance, and he will have his second ride in the morning performance on June 29.
Waitley will have his first attempt in goat tying in the Monday morning performance, and he will go again on June 28 in the evening performance.
Waitley will have both of his saddle bronc steer rides on Wednesday. He will ride in the morning perfromance and the evening performance that day.
The top cowboys and cowgirls in each event will compete in the championship short-go on the evening of June 29.
The official draw will be announced on Sunday.
National High School Finals Rodeo
The remaining four national qualifiers will compete at the National High School Finals Rodeo, which will take place July 14-20 at the Sweetwater Events Center in Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Kodey Hoss of La Junta qualified for the NHSFR in two events — girls' goat tying and girls' cutting.
Hoss was the Colorado state champion in goat tying with 110 points. She was fourth in girls' cutting with 32 points.
Hoss barely missed qualifying in a third event as she was fifth in breakaway roping with 68 points — two points off of the final qualifier.
Jacobi Larson of Fowler qualified for nationals in pole bending. She was also a state champion in that event with 103 points.
Colt Honey of La Junta qualified for nationals in steer wrestling. He was the state runner-up with 103 points.
The final qualifier is Sugar City's Crowley McCuistion, who will perform in bull riding. McCuistion, a rookie in the high school division, tied for fourth place in the state standings with 19 points.
Performances at the NHSFR will take place from the evening of July 14 to the morning of July 20. Like the NHSJFR, the top performers in each event will return for the championship short-go on the evening of July 20.

German WWII M35 Steel Helmet- SS Single Decal Autumn Camouflage
Item Description
New Made Item: These are so authentic people will think they are genuine WW2. No two are the same! Simply put this is the very best reproduction M1935 helmet available anywhere. It is an IMA exclusive and has been in development for over a year. It was copied exactly from an original in the IMA collection. But let us explain precisely why it is the very best:
The finish/color is Autumn Camouflage with a single SS decal. Every helmet has been hand painted and aged, so none will be the same. We have also added a small skull and name to the inside of the helmet to give it a one-of-a-kind personalization as if it was picked up after a battle put away in a safe place and rediscovered 70 years later.
The shell is constructed of 1.8mm thick steel, exactly the same thickness used by the Germans in WWII. This means our helmet is as heavy and as solid as an original. The shell is large (size 68) and has the correct classic M1935 rolled edge as well as proper hollow rivet ventilation holes. For added authenticity we stamped the code 1575 at nape and ET68 over ear.
The liner comprised of soft tan (cream colored) genuine leather that, just like the originals, will turn brown with age, in correct eight finger configuration with central drawstring and an M1931 aluminum liner band that is maker marked, dated, and size stamped! Liner size can accommodate head sizes 7 (56cm) up to 7 5/8 (61cm).
The all leather chinstrap has a black exterior with tan interior, comes with metal studs, correct aluminum buckle, and connects to the helmet with proper D rings.
This is it- the best reproduction WWII German M-35 Helmet available on the market today offered in deluxe collector's condition.

ISNA quoted Dr. Nafiseh Bahira'ei, one of the researchers as saying "Cardiovascular failure caused by myocardial infarction is not only one of the most widespread reasons for death in developed countries, but also the first leading cause of death in developing countries, such as Iran."
"Disruptions in the function of the heart's electrical system subsequent to a heart attack, are a result of massive loss of heart cells in the damaged area", Bahira'ei added. "Therefore, by adopting modern approaches in tissue engineering, the present project employs conductive polymers to create cardiac patches that can repair damaged cells after a heart attack occurs", she added. "These patches are highly compatible with normal cells around the affected area."
While declaring that the project is still in its experimental phases, Bahira'ei affirmed that "this can open future doors and potential paths to using polymeric scaffolds in tissue engineering for the treatment of heart disease."

A 3 pack of biodegradable loofah sponges for your kitchen - or body! We love the gentleness of the plant material, and effective scrubbiness that the back of the loofah sponge provides. We also love that it can be fully composted - you can even bury it in your yard or garden. While these sponges are marketed for the kitchen, they are just as useful in the shower. In fact, they dry more quickly than a full loofah, and so might be better for you, if you struggle with a damp bathroom (looking at you beach witches). A typical lifespan for these sponges is 3-4 months with proper care. Each sponge measures approximately 4.75" long by 3" wide when dry, expands 10x when wet, and is brought to you by zero waste company No Tox Life.
Use & Care: Rub Eco-Sponge on your favorite soap and wash as usual. It lathers up like an ordinary sponge, but without creating micro plastics that wash down the drain. Store in a way that the sponge can dry fully when no in use (try a soap dish). You can sanitize the sponge by boiling for 1-2 minutes. Sanitizing and cleaning your sponge can help extend the life of it.
RIP sponges are backyard compostable & paper belly band is recyclable.

Some say spring arrives when the forsythia sprouts their memorable, yellow flowers reaching into the blue sky. Chunky sweaters are tucked away into winter closets. The sun rides high and the mop head hydrangea sprout tiny green blooms that grow into a baby blue, pink and purple cacophony of color. These are some of the glorious signs that spring has sprung.
Just as obvious are the regular sightings of lawn services trucks replete with mowers, fertilization equipment, edgers and the occasional aerator. Landscapers fill the roadways as they prepare properties for a growing season of greenery. Some do-it-yourselfers love to crank up their own equipment but that doesn't deter the lawn guys from their search to acquire new customers.
While these signs of spring are well known by most of us, what's less obvious are the business operations that fuel the start of this busy season. Gardening and nursery centers stock mulch, pebbles, pots and plants. Lawn services companies prospect for new business. Truckloads of flowers and fertilizer are routed to specific locations. Sales teams walk new paths in search of more customers while service crews do what they do best—groom, plant, clean and prune—as fast as they can.
New forms of technology support this business and service ecosystem allowing for economies of scale and the ability to win business faster. Some lawn and landscape companies use satellite imagery to estimate and quote. But the blurry property boundaries and presence of tree canopies obscure their view. More recently, drones have been used to visualize landscapes. But those annoying mechanical birds are flown over smaller, localized areas with image processing lurking as a necessary next step.
See Your Landscape Project in Nearmap
The most important new form of location content for lawn and landscape companies are aerial maps—current, clear, changing aerial photography consistently captured from planes flying through clear skies at 10,000 to 18,000 feet.
Aerial maps, or aerial photography as it's sometimes known, provide remarkable detail for ground features including surface area, pools, fences, decks and vegetation of varying height. Lawn and landscape companies (along with other types of businesses that service commercial or residential properties) are rapidly adopting this technology. Aerial maps are accessible in the cloud. Just log into your PC or tablet and start seeing the details. There's no need to travel on site or attempt to interpret dated satellite imagery. You can prospect for new business across a wide area instantly without the need to fly a drone. This "reality-as-a service" allows you to scale operations faster than ever before from the comfort of your home or office—every month, every minute.
Nearmap high resolution aerial maps allow lawn and landscape professionals to see the details without having to travel on site. Here's a recent aerial image captured on January 15th from Durham, NC:
Anyone developing a quote for service could zoom in and assess the quality of the landscape. They could measure areas, exclude beds, hardscapes, driveways and arrive at a precise estimate for services.
A cold, snowy winter is behind us. It's time to plant, time to grow. There's nothing like freshly mulched beds, precise edging and a lush green lawn. That's what customers are looking for and now have the technology tools of the trade to build your company, win business faster and retain customers. Now you have the means to create that breathtaking landscape using a virtual set of aerial maps and truth on the ground. Transform the way you work with Nearmap high resolution aerial maps.

A king is a thing men have made for their own sakes, for quietness sake. Just as in a family one man is appointed to buy the meat.
Idolatry is in a man's own thought, not in the opinion of another.

It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
No man is the wiser for his learning; it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man.
Of all actions of a man's life, his marriage does least concern other people, yet of all actions of our life tis most meddled with by other people.
Old friends are best.
Philosophy is nothing but discretion.
Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.
Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.
The world cannot be governed without juggling.
They that are against superstition oftentimes run into it of the wrong side. If I wear all colors but black, then I am superstitious in not wearing black.
They that govern the most make the least noise.
Tis not seasonable to call a man traitor, that has an army at his heels.

If clip art appeals to you for its retro feel, you might also like pixel art. You can create some yourself with pixel art tools The 11 Best Pixel Art Tools to Create Pixel Perfect Artwork The 11 Best Pixel Art Tools to Create Pixel Perfect Artwork Do you want to try your hand at creating pixel perfect artwork? These pixel art tools will help you get started. Read More .
But this site's not just about Christmas. Need clip art for Easter? Valentine's Day? Halloween? No problem. How about something specific like angels? Teddy bears? They're here. In fact, we have clip art available for most major holidays and many specialty themes. So feel free to browse all the clip art and graphics we have, and explore the site thoroughly. Make this your "go to" resource for future holiday and clip art fun. Bookmark us now so you'll have a graphics resource all year long.
As an artist I resent some people's assumption that original art from my abilities and imagination, which I have sacrificed a lot to develop, should somehow default to public property. If we require artists to participate in a money economy their art belongs to them. Copying images and not following the copyright owners permissions to the letter is stealing, outright. And deep pockets like Disney has taught individuals that the hard way.
This is TERRIBLE! Besides being able to edit vector images like Will mentioned (which is important for those of us who don't have graphic artists available to create custom images or the budget or time to buy that service ad hoc), you could also search for style "families" (different graphics that were all in the same style). There was a huge range of files and styles in the collection and it was much faster to find what you need than to do a Bing search. Plus, you knew that everything there was free and free to use, without having to worry about CC license issues.

Waste Control equipment; about $29,000 stolen
Mark Neal, of a Freetown Sibun address, appeared in court this morning to answer to charges of theft and handling stolen goods valued at almost twenty-nine thousand dollars. Dale Pascasio, Operations Manager, of Belize Waste Control alleged that between August and September ninth, 2012, Neal stole an assortment of equipment from his farm in the Freetown Sibun Area, amounting to a total of twenty-eight-thousand five hundred and eighty dollars. Neal was additionally slapped with one count of handling stolen goods after the police found a number of Pacasio's items at a recycling company where Neal allegedly took them to pawn. Neal, who was unrepresented, pleaded not guilty to the two charges. He told the court that he was caretaker of the farm. Senior Magistrate, Sharon Frazer offered Neal bail in the sum of fifteen-thousand dollars plus one surety of the same amount. Neal is set to reappear in court on November twenty-second, 2012.
