Speaking on this event, founder and director at FLU3NT – M.E.S.L, Fela Oke said it was only natural for Wizkid to headline the first edition because he had done well for himself.
"We believe that people want a new and different experience where they get value for their money beyond just watching their favourite artiste performing. We want to create an atmosphere that imbibes great music and a great atmosphere within a beach setting and backdrop. There is no other stage where you will see Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Mr. Eazi, Wande Coal giving live performances with a full band. Our aim is to change the perception of what's possible. 'Wiz on the Beach' gives you value for money and we want people to really let their head down and have a blast!"

Double Mint Gardenia
Double the Petals, Double the Fragrance
If you are lucky enough to live in a place where gardenias grow in your garden, then you absolutely MUST plant the newest gardenia on the market – Double Mint (Gardenia jasminoides 'Double Mint').
Why? Because Double mint has double the petals, double the flowers, double the bloom time and double that intoxicating fragrance you grow gardenias for in the first place. The double flowers are a whopping 2 inches across on strong stems– perfect for small bouquets and buttonholes should you want to take the fragrance with you. The flowers bloom profusely in the spring and re-bloom again in the summer all the way to fall, longer than many other gardenias.
The compact shrub only grows 3' high and wide, so it doesn't grow out-of-bounds and is perfect for small space gardens and foundation plantings. The glossy leaves are evergreen and lush year-round.
So, what if you don't live in a place where you can grow these beautiful flowers outdoors? You'll be happy to know that they will thrive in your favorite container in a sunny window all winter, even while the snow flies outside.
This is a remarkably easy plant to grow and it pays you over and over with its breathtaking flowers. Don't just dream about this beautiful plant and its room-filling perfume - order some today to have a great show in your own home.

Will closing Skyway lead to traffic chaos this summer?
Ministry of Transportation officials are assuring local politicians that there won't be traffic chaos in Hamilton when they close the Burlington Skyway. But councillors aren't so sure.
The skyway will close completely 18 weekends over the next three years as crews resurface the Toronto-bound lane of the QEW. The closures will be overnight and traffic will be diverted to Eastport Drive.
MTO officials assured the city's public works committee Monday that the only chance of a day-time closure would be in the event of sustained winds greater than 85 kilometres per hour. And that's rare.
But Coun. Chad Collins doesn't buy it. He's lived through skyway closures before and "it's been a nightmare."
"What scares people who live in that area is we're going to see an influx of QEW traffic on local residential streets."
Work on the Toronto-bound part of the skyway will start this spring and finish in fall 2016. The province is concerned about corrosion of structural steel, so this will coat it to protect it for the next 25 years, said Martin Michalek, an MTO area manager.
In addition to overnight closures, there will be "very short-term closures" on the skyway for a maximum of four hours some week-day nights.
Two lanes will also close if sustained winds reach 70 kilometres, because that will cause uneven loads on the bridge. If winds reach 85 kilometres, the OPP will close the whole bridge.
Sustained winds of that magnitude are rare, said Fabio Saccon, MTO area traffic manager. But Collins consulted the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport and learned there were about three last year.
The high winds concern Coun. Brian McHattie of Ward 1 too. He's particularly worried for residents on Beach Boulevard, which could suffer the impact of highway traffic that turns off Eastport Drive.
"I'm not confident at all" of MTO's reassurances, he said.
Here are other MTO road projects planned for this summer:
Highway 5 and 6 resurfacing
- Resurfacing Highway 5 from Highway 6 to east of Highway 8 (12.5 kilometres).
- Resurfacing Highway 6 from 11 Concession East to just north of Maddaugh Road (4.5 kilometres).
- The work will run from June to October 2014. There will be night-time lane restrictions but no full closures.
Highway 403 and York Boulevard underpass
- Crews will do work on a single-span concrete bridge that has had no major work for 50 years.
- No traffic impacts on York Boulevard. Ramps will close from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday to Friday and longer hours on weekends.
- The work will go from June 2 to Oct. 31, 2014.
403 resurfacing
- Crews will resurface the highway from Old Guelph Road to 1.5 kilometres east of the Lincoln Alexander Parkway (7.5 kilometres).
- Crews will fix an area that's in danger of falling rocks from 1.5 kilometres east of the Linc to just west of Aberdeen Avenue, among other work.
- There will be night-time lane closures, but there will be a minimum of one lane open at all times. There will be some overnight ramp closures.
- The work will go from April to Oct. 31, 2014.
403 bridges from Mohawk Road to Wilson Street
- Crews will work on seven bridges at six locations along the 403. That includes bridges on Wilson Street, Fiddlers Green, Southcote Road, Golf Links Road and Mohawk Road.
- Construction will run from the summer until Oct. 31, 2014. There will be night-time ramp closures.

Learn how to host multiple sites in a single installation of mojoPortal CMS using different host names or domain names. You will also get a little background primer on understanding how host names are resolved to ip addresses.
Detailed Multiple Sites Documentation
See more videos on the mojoPortal Channel on YouTube.
For understanding how to setup multiple sites in IIS (without using non standard ports) you'll need to learn about IIS host headers and how they resolve requests to a specific web site when multiple web sites are using the same ip address. But to really understand that you need to understand the background information about host name resolution, the hosts file and the loopback address.
For testing and development purposes it is easy to setup additional web sites in IIS using made up host names added to the hosts file at
You'll have to run Notepad as administrator (right click it and choose run as Administrator) and change the file open dialog to open all files since the hosts file has no file extension.
Then you can make up arbitrary host names and point them to the loopback address and then you can setup additional web sites for testing by using those made up host names for host headers.
You'll see that the hosts file already has
127.0.0.1 localhost
and that is what makes the default web site able to run using localhost as the host name
but you could just as easily add
127.0.0.1 cheeseburger
and then it would also work for http://cheeseburger/
Then you could create a new web site and set cheesburger as the host name/host header for the site and that would make requests for cheesburger be handled by the new site instead of the default web site.

I am one of those (very) lucky (and very thankful for being lucky) people, who had this idea of starting a fashion blog and it became a thing in her life. Like Boooom! I never thought, that this blog will actually get where it is now so quickly, because I am (was) a shy person and I always cared (care) too much (…more than that) about what others say. After the fashion show from the Dress for Success event I kind of forgot about worrying about what others might say, because without that event I would not have had the chance to meet any of those people! They are great, they have absolutely amazing aspirations and plans for their lives and they are so inspiring with their "Do what you want I'll do my own thing" attitude.
I met Sian there, the owner of Sian Paris Boutique in Glasgow's heart in Argyle Arcade where we took all these amazing photos (some in the shop some in the Arcade) with Brant!
This was my first collaboration. I said yes because by the time Sian gave the opportunity to collaborate I know her personally, I liked her clothes and guess what, I shopped from her! She has all the essentials, less-is-more and very stylish clothes every girls' wardrobe needs. Just check these outfits! I'm dressed in Sian Paris Boutique from head to toe, even the jewellery is from there!
This is me as the new member of Destiny's Child in its 2017 version.
Too high hopes?
Marilyn Monroe would be jealous of my white dress…
I don't know what to say about this, because all I did was dressing up and playing the diva role.
Aaaaand I also know how to do the "cool"…
So when you have the time, go and buy something unique, create your own trend with your own wardrobe because let's be honest, we all want to show our real selves but how could it be possible wearing the same things as everyone else?

P.S. Every single thing you saw on Me are from Sian Paris Boutique !!

30 For 30 Thoughts by Zach!
This is a guest blog by Mr. 30 For 30 himself, Zach Goren.
WOW. Just WOW. It's taken me a good deal of time to even start processing what happened last weekend. And even now, I'm still not quite sure what to make of all of it. But there are a few things I do have a pretty good idea about:
- I'm in no hurry to do anything like that again anytime soon (Alyssa, it's all you), and,
- CFLA is a really special place
I think the second point was really hammered home more than anything. Right after the end of the 30th workout, I told everyone there that I probably hadn't actually celebrated my birthday in any real fashion since I was 15. I just never liked it nor did the "typical" sorts of celebration activities resonate. I can beat to my own drum in a lot of ways and I think it's always made me a bit uncomfortable to do things publicly that cut against the grain. Since I joined CFLA 6 years ago, the level of acceptance and inclusion has been unwavering. I didn't have to think twice about who I wanted to celebrate with in a way wholly authentic to me. I struggle to explain to most people that I hang out with people from my gym, let alone call them some of my closest friends. My family and other long-time friends who stopped by to show support were blown away by the number of you who were there and the enthusiasm with which you participated. I liked showing you off.
I am so filled with gratitude for the outpouring of support I received all weekend. For thirty straight hours people went out of their way, altered their plans, forwent sleep, facetimed and worked out from across the world (Anthony and Francesca), brought food & drink (lots of donuts in particular ;), and just showed up. When Kenny and I originally started tooling around with the concept, we figured we'd get some interest from the community, but what we experienced was beyond our imagination.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone at CFLA. I also want to give special thanks to a few people: Annita for helping keep my neck from seizing up early on (especially after the whole thing almost got derailed when I hurt myself putting on my tights first thing in the morning), the Butlers/Kenny for lending me their amazing stim machine (I'm now a believer in the Marc Pro+), Travis/Todd for capturing the whole thing on video (looking forward to seeing that!), John for the incredible BBQ on Sunday (for those of you who missed it know I'm encouraging him to quit his job and start a restaurant), Niki for being the master coordinator and cat wrangler in getting this whole thing together, and Kenny for being Kenny (no words).
It may have been for my birthday but this is something that we did together. I couldn't (and wouldn't) have done it without you.

Strong values. Strong materials.
Integrity from Marvin takes the values that made Marvin a leader and applies them to a line of popular styles. The exterior of Integrity products are made with Ultrex, a pultruded fiberglass material with a patented coating process which is weather-resistant, strong, stable and long lasting. Ultrex is superior to vinyl, vinyl-clad and roll-formed aluminum clad windows in virtually every category. With an interior of carefully selected and handcrafted wood, the Integrity Wood-Ultrex Series is as beautiful as they are functional.
Amazing Strength
The same amazing strength-to-weight ratio and tensile strength that make pultruded fiberglass perfect for use in ladders, bridge construction and guard rails make it perfect for durable, low-maintenance windows and doors. It's eight times stronger than vinyl and almost twice as strong as steel. That's why Ultrex forms the stiles and rails of every Integrity product that leaves our state of the art manufacturing facility. The result: superior strength, durability, performance, energy efficiency and finish.
Thermal Expansion
Ultrex can stand up to extreme heat, because it expands at virtually the same rate as glass, which means the entire window sash will stay tightly sealed-no cracks in the material or leakage around the glass. On the other hand, vinyl can distort in extreme heat due to its high thermal expansion rate. So over time, it can spot, streak and crack. And painting vinyl to mask the problems simply makes it worst by making the vinyl more brittle.
Energy Efficiency: An Energy Star is Born
ENERGY STAR qualified windows can save you fifteen percent of your total energy bill. And Integrity from Marvin products don't simply qualify for the energy star rating; they exceed its performance requirements. That's because Ultrex is 500 times less conductive than aluminum. Argon gas, which has thermal conductivity 30% lower than that of air, and a warm-edge spacer also contributes to Integrity's energy efficient products.
Beautiful in your home. Kind to the planet.
From creating energy efficient windows with a life cycle that far outlasts the competition, to ensuring Integrity lessens their impact in all steps of manufacturing, they provide windows that make the homes we build part of a greener and brighter future. Ultrex is made with 10% recycled material and the glass in the products contains 15%-33% recycled content. All wood components use Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) wood to ensure sound environmental stewardship. Integrity has been and continues to be an active participant in community, state and industry initiatives to improve environmental manufacturing practices.

So what actually happened last 2017 with your goals? Did you focus on travel, relationship or financial goals? We're you able to achieve what you have targeted? If not, fret not! You do not have to be hard on yourself because there are a lot of people (me included!) who did not perfectly achieved their goals for 2017. Good news is, it is a brand new year. We are all given the chance to start again, continue, add more goals and make new beginnings.
This new year, if we ended way below 100% achieving the goals we have set back then, then there has to be a different approach. New rules and terms has to be implemented. As they most people would say, change is necessary. Start with getting yourself a planner or an unused notebook to keep track of these goals. Might as well list down the goals in front and at the back of your planner. At the end of the year, you can easily check out which ones you have not yet achieved.
Sharing with you are some tips I got from a few financial planning seminars and training I have attended last year that you may want to try as well:
- Write down your goals and their terms.
- On paydays, pay yourself first.
- Avail of a VUL insurance policy. (It is a good Medium to Long Term investment tool)
- Eliminate your debt.
- Cut down on the amount of TV time. (Unsubscribe to Netflix if you must!)
- Turn your hobby into a small business.
- Pack your lunch and avoid fast food.
- Declutter and do a yard sale.
- Avoid out of network ATM fees.
- Stick to cash and stop using your debit or credit card if you have one.
- Avoid items not in the grocery list.
- Walk to work, carpool or take public transportation.
- Go DIY (Cards, gifts, coffee and even repairs!)
- Exercise and drink more water.
- Grow your own veggies.
- Quit smoking.
- Balance your YOLO attitude.
- Focus on your goals. (Eyes on the prize!)
There is no guarantee all these tips will actually help or have a massive effect in achieving your goals but trying them out will sure help YOU. When you become aware and become a lot more observant of your own attitude, then you have improved. You have matured. You become a better version of yourself. And, if you have shared the goals you have set to a family member or a friend, they have learned from you too. Achieving your goals became a happy process in the end, right?
Just keep going and trying for there is a ripple effect in everything. And remember, when you keep trying new things for you to achieve your goals, and you put your heart in it…there is no way you would not get it.

I can tell you that, as I experience an increase in vitality and what I can only call personal power, I feel an ever-greater need to come out of my own box of conditioning, my own constructed self. And as I do, my attention turns, for the moment, to all the strutting and posturing I do, that I now feel a need to leave behind.
This reflection that I'm immersed in at the moment draws my attention to what Erving Goffman called The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, the social construction of reality – and of ourselves. Please allow me to have a little fun with this.
The galactics and celestials may be experts on the higher dimensions but surely you and I are the experts on the Third Dimension, are we not?
If we don't know how to work the ropes in our local space after all this time, I'd be surprised.
For instance, most of us know what it means to consciously strive to create an impression or run a number on someone else.
We used to watch I Love Lucy, All in the Family, or Two and a Half Men. And these matters were and are the stuff of comedy.
We satirize our politicians and other leaders. We spoof the corner grocery man. We highlight the idiosyncracies of a great musician.
Always what we're doing is playing up an aspect of the constructed self, the box of conditioning that we pass our lives in.
Erving Goffman has a wonderful chapter in his book in which Preedy takes a swim. Preedy constructs each move for maximum effect:
"[Preedy] took care to avoid catching anyone's eye. First of all, he had to make it clear to those potential companions of his holiday that they were of no consequence to him whatsoever. He stared through them, over them – eyes lost in space. If by chance a ball was thrown his way, he looked surprised; then let a smile of amusement lighten his face. (Kindly Preedy.) ….
"But it was time to institute a little parade, the parade of the Ideal Preedy. … [He] gathered together his beach-wrap and bag into a neat sand-resistant pile (Methodical and Sensible Preedy), rose slowly to stretch at ease his huge frame (Big-Cat Preedy), and tossed aside his sandals (Careless Preedy, after all).
"The marriage of Preedy and the sea! There were alternative rituals. The first involved the stroll that turns into a run and a dive straight into the water, thereafter smoothing into a strong splashless crawl towards the horizon. But of course not really to the horizon. Quite suddenly he would turn on his back and thrash great white splashes with his legs, somehow thus showing that he could have swum further had he wanted to, and then would stand up a quarter out of the water for all to see who it was.. …
"[An alternative ritual] involved a slow stroll down and into the edge of the water – not even noticing his toes were wet, land and water all the same to him! – with his eyes up at the sky, gravely surveying portents, invisible to others, of the weather. (Local Fisherman Preedy.)" (1)
Preedy is posing. His is a constructed act. He's projecting an impression.
What Preedy may not be aware of us is that we're usually invisible only to ourselves. The world might snicker at Preedy. Most can tell a poseur from a mile away. Something in our retinas is attuned to the slightest move of inauthenticity. The minute we see it, we say "Aha!"
For my money, there seems very little sense in hiding. There never has been. And now that the cabal is gone, I think it's safe to play again. It's safe to come out of our shells, leave our well-stocked hidey-holes, take a deep breath and just be.
And all of us, I believe, need a chance to limber up, lighten up and take ourselves less seriously.
It starts with getting honest about what we're hiding. What is it that we dearly don't want others to know? What is the secret we've built our lives around hiding? Just blurt it out. We usually feel better after.
What are we suppressing? What are we denying? What are we excusing in ourselves that we don't excuse in others? What in us do we justify while feeling that there's no justification for it when we see it in another?
Where are we full of hot air? What carefully-manicured impression are we trying to sell to the rest? Surprisingly, what we discovered in the Growth Movement, was that it can be enjoyable to watch one's own self perform.
The celestials have been saying to us that it's time to let go. Usually they mean let go of our issues and resentments. But we can also let go of that terribly-important and assiduously-cultivated impression.
I am Preedy. Oh, didn't I tell you? Erving Goffman asked me if he could write a book about me. He said he'd change the name.
I am Preedy. I carefully position myself. I take great care to see that no embarrassing information leaks out about me. I religiously manicure my image. I pose myself just so and proceed in a carefully-calculated manner.
I'm embarrassed when I'm found out. I compensate for a spoiled image. I learn from my pratfalls and polish my image all the more carefully. Who am I?
I am Preedy. I am human.

Gulfstream Park: Starsilhoutte goes from last to first in Tiara
Starsilhouette blew past the field with surprising ease Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., when capturing the $122,500 Claiming Crown Tiara, the fifth of seven races in the 14th annual Claiming Crown series.
Giving Mike Maker his third of four wins on the Claiming Crown program, Starsilhouette was ridden by Alan Garcia when rallying from dead last to win the 1 1/16-mile turf race by 1 1/4 lengths over Malibu Yankee in a field of 12 fillies and mares.
The Tiara allowed Maker to extend his all-time series record to 10 wins, which he eventually increased to 11 when sending out Parent's Honor to win the Jewel later in the day. All four of his Saturday wins came for his longtime clients Ken and Sarah Ramsey.
"It was one of those days where I felt all my horses were live," said Maker. "It's one of those things when you could either not win a race or win a bunch. Thankfully we've had a good day."
Starsilhouette, a gray 5-year-old mare by Orientate, returned $15.40 to win. She now has won 11 of 31 lifetime starts while competing primarily for the starter-allowance conditions that govern all the Claiming Crown events.
Starsilhouette is now 4 for 6 over the Gulfstream turf.
"She had a fabulous winter down here last year," said Maker. "She loves this course."
Silver Screamer, the 6-5 favorite in the Tiara, had a wide trip but not much else excuse when fading badly to finish 10th.
In earlier Claiming Crown events:
* In the $96,000 Glass Slipper, Starship Truffles ($12.20) battled between rivals for much of the seven-furlong trip before pulling away to a four-length score under Luis Saez.
Based at Calder throughout her career – and with Marty Wolfson since he assumed her training in mid-September – Starship Truffles now has won 8 of 14 starts this year and was claimed by prior connections for a mere $6,250 on July 4. A 3-year-old daughter of Ghostzapper, Starship Truffles put away one of the favorites, Brandys Secret, when she suddenly spurted clear in the turn for home, with Come Sunday rallying to be second in the field of 10 fillies and mares.
* In the $97,000 Rapid Transit, Maker overtook Scott Lake as the winningest trainer in Claiming Crown history when Bernie the Maestro ($7.40), getting a great outside stalking trip under Joel Rosario, powered past Off the Jak to win this seven-furlong race in going-away fashion by 2 3/4 lengths.
The win was the second of the day and ninth overall in the Claiming Crown for Maker, who entered the afternoon trailing Scott Lake by an 8-7 count.
Bernie the Maestro, claimed in August for $35,000, was the second winner of the day for the Ramseys.
*In the $98,000 Iron Horse, Brother Bird ($9.80) was hustled into a contending position by Rosario on the first turn of this 1 1/16-mile race before wearing down the race-long front-runner, Jazzit, to prevail by three-quarters of a length.
Maker trains Brother Bird, a 5-year-old gelding, for the Ramseys. Brother Bird, by Yonaguska, was produced by Mining My Own, the dam of 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, now retired at 6.
*In the $96,000 Express, Tiban ($6.20), giving jockey Calvin Borel career victory No. 4,998, rallied from well behind to be up in the final jumps as the slight favorite in this six-furlong race. Trained by Tim Glyshaw, the 5-year-old Tiban directly benefitted from Pedro Cotto Jr., the jockey on the 13-1 runner-up Pot of Gold, standing up prematurely when he misjudged the location of the finish line.

Wholesale doesn't have anything to do with design, which is what I am majoring in. Ryerson offers numerous opportunities to put you out into the fashion industry. You can use your skills/experience to be part of the communications side even if you're a design student and vice versa. I've had about 5 internships throughout my time at Ryerson. A lot of the learning experience has been about myself and where I want to steer my life. Specifically to Michael Kors, I learned what it means to stay with a company long-term and my bosses have taught me the ins and outs of the wholesale industry for a global company and what it means to be truly dedicated and passionate about a job. Patience is key. It will take time to get the jobs you want. Especially in fashion, I think you must stay active and involved within the fashion industry. This will prove how dedicated you are and will build your resume.
Tips for future interns:
- When asked to do a task, add that extra step. For instance, if asked to file, file alphabetically or if asked to store clothes in the storage room, store clothes by season or commodity. It's that extra step that only adds 5 minutes to the task that will make the difference. My internship at MK started unpaid but because I took that extra step, it became a paid internship.
- Have a good work ethic and stay consistent. Be the person you boasted about in your interview!
- Enjoy yourself. As much as work is work, you spend days with the people you work with. It's not uncommon for you to spend more time with the people you work with than your family and friends.

Resources for Celebrating Women's History Month
By Sara Hull, information resources coordinator, Academic Technologies
March 28, 2014
National Women's History Month was established by Congress in 1987, a mere 27 years ago. Since then, and for centuries before, many battles have been waged in the name of equality for all women, with many of those battles yet to be won. The National Women's History Project (http://www.nwhp.org/) has declared the theme of this year's National Women's History Month to be Celebrating Women of Character, Courage and Commitment, and has recognized twelve honorees who have lived lives demonstrating those qualities.
These honorees are:
- Ute Indian rights activist and diplomat, Chipeta (1843-1924),
- African-American educator, author and Black feminist, Anna Julia Cooper (1858-1964),
- educator, author and deaf community advocate, Agatha Tiegel Hanson (1873-1959),
- women's employment pioneer, Katharine Ryan Gibbs (1863-1934),
- FDA pharmacologist and public health activist, Frances Oldham Kelsey (1914-present),
- founder of battered-women's shelters and rape treatment centers, Roxcy O'Neal Bolton (1926-present),
- founder of The Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project, Arden Eversmeyer (1931-present),
- international women's rights activist, Carmen Delgado Votaw (1935-present),
- women's rights advocate and White House Communications Director, Ann Lewis (1937-present),
- advocate for survivors of human trafficking, Jaida Im (1961-present), member of Congress and Iraq War veteran, Tammy Duckworth (1968-present), and
- Civil Rights attorney, Lisa Taylor (1974-present).
If you would like to learn more about these and other inspiring women, please visit the Empire State College Online Library (http://www.esc.edu/library). When you click the Resources by Subject link, and then choose our Gender & Women's Studies subject guide, you will find a variety of resources, including article databases, e-books, websites, videos, recordings of famous speeches, and more.
In particular, we would like to draw your attention to a database of primary source materials called North American Women's Letters and Diaries which contains more than 150,000 pages from letters and diaries written by 1,325 women from Colonial times to 1950. Visit this database for an intimate look at the private lives of women who influenced history.

Zac McEachran isn't the only member of the staff at Banbury United to sign a contract.
Manager Mike Ford has signed one through to the end of next season as the club look for some stability.
I've got full faith in every single player that they can contribute to this teamPuritans boss Mike Ford
The Puritans boss said "This commitment gives me the opportunity to continue the great work from last season and further develop the excellent squad of players we have at the club.
"I think we are moving forwards on and off the pitch and I'm delighted to be a part of that."
And Ford has been stressing to his players the need to be patient and take their opportunity when it comes.
He added: "We're not coming into this division with the aim to sit in mid-table, if you do that you will finish just outside the relegation zone.
"The players have got to realise that every game is different. Some players were disappointed on Saturday but then they got the opportunity on Tuesday.
"One player in particular might think he hasn't done himself justice but it's one game and it doesn't matter.
"I've got full faith in every single player that they can contribute to this team this season. If they have a bad game they have a bad game.
"They have to understand that I know their frustration because I've been in that same position, sat on the bench wanting to play in every game. But I never asked to leave a club, I just knuckled down and got on with it.
"That's what these players need to do because that's the real test of character. You've got to keep training hard every week, whether you are in the team or not.
"I want to make this team better, my young players are all good enough but sometimes you have to cast your net a bit further.
"Sometimes players fall by the wayside and that's because the team is getting better. But most of these players will stay with me because they are good enough."

I truly believe that age is not a factor when it comes to relationships.
I first noticed it in junior high. When I was in the seventh grade, the majority of my best friends were a grade older than me. Because of this, I got to know many great girls from the eighth grade and we got along great.
Over the year, I watched as most of my friends began to date other eighth grade girls. I had noticeable crushes on many of them, but I could never quite land a girlfriend that was in the eighth grade. To them, I was like a "forbidden fruit".
The following year, I learned how the opposite was also true. The new seventh grade girls at school flocked to us older guys, while most of my female peers would not even think about dating a younger boy. While there was in part an immaturity factor involved, there was visibly a norm at hand.
I witnessed a very similar pattern throughout my high school years. It was the younger girls who would go out with older guys, while the vast majority of older girls would avoid the idea of dating a younger someone like me. This was true no matter how "popular" or great I was , or even if there was only a couple of months difference in age. It wasn't until my senior year that I began to question this standard. If guys were giving younger girls a chance, why not vice-versa? I had no choice but to accept it.
As a senior in high school, I began to meet a few college girls of different ages. I became interested in a few of them, and sometimes they would actually give me a shot at a date. It was like something had been peeled from their sight which allowed them to finally see me. Regardless, I was afraid to ask any of them if they would have done such a thing had it been back in grade school. As I watched this phenomenon take place with my own eyes, began to encourage many other girls in my grade to do the same. Nobody listened.
Once I began college myself, it was like a free-for-all. No longer were the girls held in a strictly scheduled environment that exposed their individual groups to the same guys day-after-day. I rejoiced. Finally, many girls opened their eyes to those that they were interested in, rather than the ones that were strictly older or deemed "popular".
While some grade-school norms may never change, I think that everyone should keep an open-minded approach to dating. What is the worst that can happen if you date someone that is younger than you?
A strong minded person will overlook what others might think, and act from heart. I am now 21 years old and have been dating a very sweet girl from my work who is almost 30 for over a year. It took more time and consideration for her to become comfortable with the idea, but when you disregard age and focus on what really matters, everything can just fall into place like it has for us. A fruit once forbidden by age might actually taste sweet once you peel off the label and give it a chance.

Parents, get ready to climb into the backseat of your cars, because we have a car seat recall on our hands. Popular manufacturer Evenflo is recalling 1.3 million convertible car seats and booster seats over a harness crotch buckle, which the company says "may become resistant to unlatching over time."
Worried your child is in danger of getting stuck in an unlatching car seat? Here's everything parents need to know about this recall:
1. The Evenflo recall includes seats made from 2011 through 2014. The buckle may become "resistant to unlatching," the company says, "due to exposure to various contaminants (like food and drinks) that are present in everyday use of the convertible car seat or harnessed booster by toddlers."
2. The recalled models are as follows: Momentum 65, Momentum 65 LX, and Momentum 65 DLX; Chase, Chase LX, and Chase Select; Chase LX and Chase DLX; Maestro and Maestro Performance; Symphony 65, Symphony 65 E3, Symphony LX, Symphony DLX, and Snugli All-in-One; Titan 65 and SureRide DLX; and Secure Kid LX, Secure Kid DLX, Secure Kid 100, Secure Kid 300, Secure Kid 400, and Snugli Booster.
3. The affected seats have model number prefixes of 306, 308, 310, 329, 345, 346, 371, or 385.
4. Evenflo has received no reports of injury, and the company says the seats meet all federal crash standards. The only issue is the buckle, and if your buckle is working, Evenflo says there is no reason to stop using the car seat while you wait for a remedy kit.
5. Remedy kits are available -- free of charge -- by calling 1-800-490-7591 between 8 a.m. (ET) and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or visiting the Evenflo site. You can also clean the buckle yourself, using Evenflo's instructions.
Has your child ever become trapped in the car seat? What did you do to get them out?

I see someone and instantly have an idea of what lies beneath, or so I think. Humans were not made to be read like an open book, therefore they must not be; feelings are not always thrown around for everyone to read so only the physical features shows through, burying all the decent details. The clothes are temporary and change in time, but do emotions?
In the fourth grade, name-calling passed through every kid's mouths and everyone tried to be cool by wearing the labeled clothes and using the slang. We all felt grown-up like we knew everything. There came this guy, Jimmy, who was always being made fun of- four eyes, smelly, ugly, short, geek. Saying these words were not grown-up, but it continued anyways. Just like everyone else, I avoided him thinking of all the bad things about him that the others have said.
During our recess time outside, Jimmy isolated himself and lay by himself on top of the monkey bars staring at the pebbles below while my friends and I ran around playing tag and swung on the line of swings. During lunch, he sat away from the others. During P.E., kids picked him last. No one really knew him though. No one could see past the words of the other guys about the way he looked, including me, and I regret that.
He kept his friendliness to others, but his peers just ran away from him like he had a contagious disease. My heart had to stop living for two seconds for me to realize his kindness.
The meticulous teacher turned my way. "Ok, it's your turn to read your paper. You have it?" I was the last one to go for the day and a zero would get me in the trouble I didn't want to deal with. When no one around me dared to go yet, Jimmy raised his hand and volunteered to take my place although his paper needed more finishing. That time, I did not notice him as another object of humiliation but as a living, breathing person.
After that, I kept seeing Jimmy helping others and being encouraging although he was still being turned away. Guilt poured down on me until I flooded. I remembered ignoring his kind comments and the others only showing him hatred, and I prayed that I won't do that again to anyone.
Because we were born human, we hold feelings, and those feelings get hurt, but those fiery words can be kept in. Of a book, the cover does no justice to the true messages held in the words. Start with the first page and actually look in to it instead of putting it down. I believe there is no way to capture someone's entire soul and personality by looking at the physical features. I see someone and instantly have to give chances.

Pathankot attack: 'Pakistan investigators likely to visit India soon'
Answering news men during the weekly media briefing, FO spokesperson Nafees Zakria reminded that Pakistan had condemned Pathankot terrorist attack and that it extended full cooperation since approached by the neighboring country.
He said that a team of investigators is likely to visit India soon, for which both sides are in contact with each other.
Nawaz-Modi meeting 'not on the table'
When asked about, as speculated, a meeting between Pak-India premiers on the sidelines of Washington Nuclear Security Summit next month, the spokesperson denied clearly: "There is no such proposal is on the table."
India's defense buildup to disturb strategic stability
Zakria said the defense buildup pursued by India will disturb strategic stability in the region. He also voiced concerns over exceptional treatment being meted out to New Delhi by Nuclear Supplier Group.
He said Pakistan seeks peace in the region and is therefore against any arms race.
The spokesperson categorically rejected any obstacles in the way of Pakistan-India foreign secretary level talks.
He said both the sides are in touch with each other to work out mutually convenient dates for the talks.
To a question, the spokesperson said Kashmiris' movement for their right to self-determination is indigenous which enjoys popular support. He said it cannot be linked with any terrorism.
In response to another query, he said the launch of final phase of Zarb-e-Azb operation in North Waziristan is a clear manifestation of Pakistan's resolve to root out the menace of terrorism.
Below is full text of the FO briefing:
Regarding the Quadrilateral Process on Afghanistan, there are media reports that the Taliban have communicated certain conditions for coming to the table, including removing their leadership's names off the UN list of proscribed organizations. What is Pakistan's position on this?
Secondly, have all the Taliban groups been invited to the talks?
It was decided with consensus that the talks under the QCG process will be without pre-conditions.
Regarding the second part of your question, it was stated in the Joint Press Release after the fourth meeting of the QCG that all groups have been invited.
A lot of media speculations are going on after the registering of the Pathankot FIR. This is the first time that such an FIR has been registered in Pakistan. For some, it appears to be an admission of involvement in the Pathankot attack. Would it not have been better for the investigation if the FIR would not have been registered?
You may recall that Pakistan had condemned Pathankot terrorist attack. Since the time India approached us, we have extended full cooperation. A Special Investigating Team (SIT), constituted by the Prime Minister, is likely to visit India, shortly. Both sides are in contact with each other with regard to the visit.
There is speculation that the Prime Ministers of Pakistan and India will meet on the sidelines of the Washington Nuclear Security Summit next month. Any update on this and whether India has approached us in this regard?
Secondly, the Samjhauta Express and Dosti Bus service were recently suspended. Whenever India stops these services due to any reason, travelers from both sides undergo a lot of suffering. Has Pakistan taken up the issue with the Indian side?
Regarding the first part of your question, no such proposal is on the table.
Regarding suspension of Samjhauta Express/ Dosti Bus services, it was due to unrest and the ensuing security situation in a part of India. India had requested us to stop the services on our side due to the precarious situation. Both the Diplomatic Missions were in touch with their respective host governments to assist the stranded passengers. Pakistan facilitated the Indian request and extended due assistance to the Indian passengers. Our High Commission in Delhi was also in touch with the Indian Government and we expect that similar cooperation would be extended by the Indian Government to the stranded Pakistani passengers on their side.
In the standoff in the Pulwama district of Indian Kashmir, the Kashmiri fighters inside the building did not take any hostages, rather helped all inhabitants of the building to leave. This is a different and unique pattern in which Kashmiri lives were protected. Do you think they were terrorists or freedom fighters?
Secondly, cricket is a tool for people to people contact. Pakistan has not yet announced its participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India. What is the view of Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this regard? Should Pakistan not participate in the World Cup as it would lead to more people to people contact?
For the second part of your question, kindly contact Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). As far as our policy is concerned, Pakistan believes in people to people interaction. This has been going on for a long time on various counts and had also been part of the dialogue.
As regard Pulwama incident, you are aware Kashmiris are engaged in an indigenous struggle for self-determination since 1989. More than 80 thousand Kashmiris have been martyred, several thousands have been maimed and thousands are missing, leaving behind "half widows", who do not know whether their husbands are alive or martyred. The world was appalled on the discovery of the mass graves in Kashmir in 2009. Kashmiris have never hurt anyone as stated in your question itself. The indigenous Kashmiri freedom movement enjoys popular support but some detractors try to portray it as terrorism. However, the world community is not naive.
This refers to the first direct talks between the Afghan Government and the Taliban that are likely to take place in the first week of March. Are we taking precautionary measures to pre-empt any move by the spoilers group within the Afghan Government who might try to derail the talks as it happened in the past when the news of Mulla Omar's death was leaked to derail the talks at that stage?
In the Joint Press Release issued after the fourth round of the QCG talks and similarly after the 06 February 2016 meeting, I had stated in a briefing that all four countries that constitute the QCG have a joint responsibility to move the reconciliation process forward and make a direct dialogue between Afghan Government and various Taliban Groups and others possible. It is realized that peace in Afghanistan is very important for the regional stability and progress. At the 4th QCG meeting in Kabul, the implementation of the roadmap agreed during the third round was reviewed and all the four countries reiterated their commitment to the reconciliation process and invited all Taliban and other groups to the negotiation table.
Do you have any confirmation regarding the visit of the Iranian President to Pakistan? What preparations have been done for this high profile visit?
You may recall that our Prime Minister had paid a bilateral visit to Iran. Now, the Iranian leadership's visit to Pakistan is contemplated for which both sides are working out mutually convenient dates.
In a recent statement, the US State Department Spokesperson said that terrorist "safe heavens" still existed in Pakistan. This is despite a successful operation by Pakistan against all militants. Senior US military officials also keep on repeating the above allegations. What is Pakistan doing to address these concerns?
Secondly, the Indian Defence Minister is also making provocative statements and asking Pakistan to take more steps with regard to the Pathankot incident. Your comments.
Pakistan's policy to eliminate terrorism within the country and our immense sacrifices have been acknowledged by the international community, including the US leadership. You would have also seen reports that Pakistan has announced the final phase of operation Zarb-Azb, which is a manifestation of our firm resolve and determination to eradicate the menace. Pakistan's sacrifices are unparalleled having lost more than sixty thousand innocent citizens, including more than five thousand valiant soldiers and law enforcement personnel, who laid their lives in the fight against terrorism. Therefore, there should be no doubt about Pakistan's total commitment to eliminate terrorism. Terrorism is not only Pakistan's problem but also of the region and the world, at large, for which all need to cooperate with each other.
Pakistan and India are talking on multiple issues currently. I want to ask about investigations into the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack. Pakistan has taken many steps to investigate the Pathankot incident but has any step been taken by India to punish those who planned the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack?
Our stance on the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack is well known. We have taken up the issue with India many times, asking them to share the outcome of their investigations with us. However, they have not done so. We have reminded them repeatedly to take action against Swami Aseemanand, a RSS activist and mastermind of the terrorist attack on Samjhauta Express in which many Pakistanis lost their lives. He had confessed to his crime and also testified about involvement of active service Indian military officer, Col. Purohit in the terrorist attack. We have asked India to take action against these individuals and bring them to justice. Many Indian leaders had assured us regarding sharing of the investigation outcome but this has not been done.
On the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack and the release of the mastermind of the attack, has Pakistan formally protested to India?
Like I said earlier, we have time and again taken up this issue with the Indian side. We have repeatedly reminded India to take action against those terrorists.
The Stockholm Institute stated in its report that India is the largest arms importer in the world. Your comment on this?
If you visit Ministry of Foreign Affairs website you will find a very comprehensive statement made by the Foreign Secretary, including on this issue. This was part of his talk on the launch of nuclear paper series, which he delivered at the leading think-tank, Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad. We seek peace in South Asia. We are against any arms race. Due to the massive defence build-up by India and the discriminatory treatment given to India by the Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG), a number of analysts have concluded that these policies will disturb the strategic balance in the region. You are aware that yesterday an important meeting of the National Command Authority (NCA) took place in Islamabad where this issue was also deliberated upon. I suggest that you see the press release for details.

Models Own "Pinky Brown"
Today's manicure features one of Models Own's "Beetlejuice" collection polishes - "Pinky Brown". It's a glass fleck duochrome that shifts from a purply pink shade through red, gold, and finally on to a browny bronze shade. It's sheer, so I've applied two coats over a black creme (Nails Inc "Black Taxi", which can be seen on its own roughly two thirds down the page on this post).
Picture time!

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Famous Fish Co. Restaurant Review: FAMOUS FISH CO. HAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED. With locations in Cape Town and Durban, as well as London, Famous Fish Co. comes to another part of the metro Atlanta area after opening in Peachtree City. The food is inspired in the exotic fare of that glorious cape country, South Africa. The fish is never frozen, making a major difference in the quality of the result. The pans are the specialties stamped with the cooking of South Africa: prawns, shellfish and maybe a chicken liver or two in various combinations form the crux of these dishes, accompanied by rice. The peri-peri sauce on the prawn 'n' chicken pot is a bit timid in deference to middle-of-the-road tastes, so ask for some extra so you can ratchet up the heat factor and bring it closer to authentic. This wine list focuses on South Africa, but with a few wines from other countries as well. Also located at 200-401 City Circle, Peachtree City, 770-632-1880.

Floris about this shoe:"Swimming with dolphins! Of course I want to! Ever since I was a little boy this has been on my bucket list. When I was on holiday in the Caribbean a few years ago, I booked the best dolphin tour there was. But… when I showed up for the big moment in my nicest swim trunks, Flipper was nowhere to be seen. No dolphin anywhere, Flipper was ill, wounded and what not. All of a sudden the tour guides came up with all kinds of excuses why it wouldn't happen that day. But they offered a great alternative! And this very alternative is the reason why I like that the shoe looks exactly the way it does right here. In a fenced off area in the sea, the dolphin people dropped me and my family amidst super big and super revolting rays. They might as well have thrown me into a pit full of spiders and snakes. Those flat, grouchy underwater UFO's slimed their way towards me to check if there was anything edible about me. Traumatising, I tell you! Swimming away wasn't an option either. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen… and as a sort of payback… our collection presents you with the most beautiful ray print leather that I could find for this summer."

Growing Public Support for Gun Rights
Support for gun rights has edged up from earlier this year, and marks a shift in attitudes since shortly after the Newtown school shootings. For the first time in our surveys, there is more support for gun rights than gun control.

If you're like many business owners or entrepreneurs you have probably found yourself in this situation. You know you HAVE to be on facebook but have no idea how having a fan page is going to land you more sale. Heck, you probably don't know how to encourage people to become fans in the first place. You are probably so occupying so many roles that growing your fan base is just another daunting task. Don't fret, in this case you are probably in the 99% :).
Over the years I've attended many facebook marketing "how-to's" seminars, talks, meetups, etc. Lucky for you, I've taken lots of notes and I'm going to share the 5 most kick-ass facebook marketing tips that will help you grow your fans.
Before jumping into the goods, I'd like to share a simple model that if followed correctly can help you see success in your online marketing strategy. The reason I start here is because it is important to understand why you are (or should) be investing resources (time or money) into growing your social presence.
- Set up your foundation
- Grow a fan base/tribe (more info on Tribes by Seth Godin)
- Create ongoing engagement
- Turn fans into profits
So the idea is that by growing a fan base or tribe and providing value, your fans will most likely buy from you instead of your competition. Sales occur when there is a transference of emotion, not a presentation of facts. In this post I'm going to assume you have already worked on the foundation piece of your social media and facebook strategy, and the tips I'm sharing with you today will help with growing your tribe and create ongoing engagement.
1. Kick your banner up Banner
Include something other than your logo as your fan page picture. Sure, you should include an element of your brand in your facebook profile "banner", you can even include your logo, but include something that showcases your brand, or a project your are working on/promoting. You can actually upload an image 600px(height) x 180px (wide) so you can get really creative.
2. Use a reveal tab (landing page)
I'm sure you've seen them, many successful facebook fan pages are using them. The reason they work is that psychologically as humans we want to be in on the "secret". By having to do something as simple as clicking "like" to enter your page, you have just created exclusivity. After a person likes your page the gate opens and the fan content appears. The great news is that there are now many companies that offer landing page services and barrier to entry is very low. Some do-it-yourselfers (both offer free and paid versions: Pagemodo, Wix and of course Static HTML iframe tabs. The benefit is that you can start creating right away with little or no cost. If you do want something a little more customized then I suggest you setting aside some budget to get this done. Usually hiring someone to do this for you is anywhere from $250-$1000 depending on what you are looking for.
3. Add Value
Nobody wants to come to your page to see that all you do is plug your products. Sorry to say, but that is no way to build a community. You have to provide engaging and relevant content, get to know your fans and reveal a little about yourself (or your organization). Give people a reason to visit your page and to come back. Ask questions, provide information such as ebooks or videos related to your industry. Take your FAQs or industry issues and answer the in an engaging manner. As a rule of thumb contribute 4 pieces of interesting/unique/engaging content and 1 promoting your company/brand/product.
4. Post often but don't overshare
You want to stay top of mind and working off tip # 3 provide engaging content that your community is happy to share with friends (either by sharing directly or by commenting or "liking"). However, you need to be conscious that you don't become "spammy". There are many tools out there that can help automate your postings so you don't need to be setting your alarm to remind you to post. A good one to try is Hootsuite (yes, it's free!).
5. Advertise
What better way to target your audience than by running some highly targeted ads to reach your ideal customer. facebook announced yesterday that they will likely reach 1 billion users by August. This is 1/7th of the world's current population. Regardless of industry, I am willing to bet this could mean MANY potential customers for you. With facebook's highly customizable ads (both look and target audience) you are sure to stumble on a new fan or two by running a couple ads. Study competitor ads, analyze what works for them and budget around $500 to get started.
