Travel Story by Tyron Woolfe
Bonjour, bienvenue à Paris!
One cannot disagree that this is a beautiful city with a lot to see and take in. One will forever associate Paris and its French culture with its food, art and scenery.
It is very easy to get around Paris, and yet very difficult to decide how to set about ones itinerary. It is best to simply go with the flow and to remember that Paris is a city that never sleeps! There is a tendency to eat late at night although many cafés and restaurants are open all the time.
It is worth making an effort to meet French Deaf people. Their cultural heritage is enormous the first Deaf school in the world was founded in Paris by the Abbé de l'Épée. For those who are interested, simply google Abbé de l'Épée and you will find several resources that will confirm this as well as giving an insight into the history of Deaf Education. The address is INJS, Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris, 254, rue Saint-Jacques 75005 PARIS and the link for their website can be found further below.
Paris has some wonderful places to see from the Eiffel Tower to St Pierre de Montmartre the Notre Dame, Hotel de Ville, Monument, the Louvre museum and many more attractions. Notably famous for its art, you are bound to meet many artists on the street who are trying to get discovered for their artistic talent. Try and barter with them when it comes to negotiating a price for their artwork.
With regard to its food, one cannot fail to be amazed at the variety of bread, croissants, cakes and other gastronomic delights in the many cafés and brasseries. One can also enjoy snails (escargots) baked in garlic butter and eat outside in the open air. If its wintertime you will not get cold as these cafés have heaters outside that allow diners to enjoy their meals. One cannot leave Paris without sampling a nutella crêpe! Delicious!
It is impossible for me to visit Paris without enjoying a good bottle of red wine. One can easily buy a bottle at a café or shop near your hotel and ask the receptionist for a bottle opener. Hotels will often provide you with glasses. French red wine, especially Merlot, will bring many happy memories for the individual.
It is a good idea to buy a Paris Visitor ticket from any metro station, which allows 3 days of unlimited travel on the metro as well as reductions for many tourist attractions and shops too. Changing lines on the metro can sometimes involve quite a long walk. Also be prepared for the fact that almost all stations have poor access for people with mobility problems; more escalators are definitely needed.
Shopping is something some visitors come to Paris solely for. There are many fashion shops and really beautiful gift shops to explore. You are guaranteed a top class service in gift-wrapping at no extra charge. On the small island near Hotel de Ville and where Notre Dame sits, there are a few long rows of horticultural market-style shops, which are a treat during winter as well as other seasons.
The Eiffel tower is a wonderful place to sit on a bench and watch numerous visitors walk up or take the lift up. Although pricey for some, it is an unforgettable experience. There is a restaurant at the top of the tower although I have never been. If money is an issue then dont worry, you can visit the Sacré-Coeur in Montmartre near Abbesses/Blanche (metro stations) where the view from the Basilica is almost the same as the one from the Eiffel Tower and is free.
Montmartre also has a red light district (Pigalle) like Soho and is home to the famous Moulin Rouge! Take the metro to Blanche for the best place to see the many illuminations do try and visit at night.
A recommended walk is to go from Place de la Concorde (near Parliament) all the way to the famous Louvre museum, especially with your loved one(s). En route you can enjoy the East lake and views of the Eiffel tower in the distance as well as several art features. Paris is definitely a romantic city and is ideal for a 3-day visit although it is possible to enjoy a week there.

Russia's foreign minister: there should be no intervention in global oil production
Russia's foreign minister says there should be no intervention in global energy production, even as the country's economy takes a hit from rapidly falling oil prices.
After a meeting with his Saudi counterpart in Moscow, Sergei Lavrov said both Russia and Saudi Arabia did not want oil production targets to be affected by "political or geopolitical designs."NA
The theory that the United States has manipulated global oil production to bring down prices is a popular theme on state-owned television in Russia, where the economy and state budget are heavily dependent on oil exports.
Also on Monday, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak told Russian news agencies that the government was reviewing the possibility of lowering oil production, but still wasn't sure whether such a move would be feasible.

"This wasn't a random attack! Our family's being targeted."
– Paul
Crispian (A.J. Bowen) is on the way to a family reunion is Missouri and is taking his new girlfriend Erin (Sharni Vinson) with him to meet the family. He does not seem thrilled about the reunion aspect or spending time with his parents, but there they are. At the vacation house, Paul (Rob Moran) and Aubrey (Barbara Crampton), Crispian's parents, are attempting to get the house ready and settle in. The rest of Crispian's family arrives, consisting of his condescending and superior brother Drake (Joe Swanberg) and his wife Kelly (Margaret Laney), his younger sister Aimee (Amy Seimetz) and her boyfriend Tariq (Ti West), and his older brother Felix (Nicholas Tucci) and his girlfriend Zee (Wendy Glenn). Big happy family.
Their reunion does not go as planned, and before anyone knows what is happening, an attack has been launched against the family over a squabble at dinner. Tariq is killed and Drake is shot through the shoulder with an arrow. Mass panic ensues, and nobody seems to know what to do. Erin starts to assume control, and has everyone take cover in the entry hall of the massive home. Using chairs as cover, the party starts to move, though the attack seems endless. A plan is hatched to let Aimee run for a car and to go and get help, seeing as she is the fastest running. The attempt is botched badly when Aimee is mangled by a garrote wire that was strung up in front of the door. Erin assumes control, trying to plan defences.
Whoever is out there is intent on getting them. Erin is scarily good at defence, and is exasperated when the whole family does what they want anyway. Aubrey is not dealing with Aimee's death, and is butchered upstairs in her room by an assailant wearing a fox mask (Lane Hughes). The assailant is still in the house, making it just as unsafe inside. Kelly figures this out first, and flees in a panic, though she does not make it far. The intruders have already butchered the neighbours, and Kelly is soon caught by a man in a lamb mask. Crispian tells Erin that he is going to try and get to a car, try and get away and get help for them, he is sure that driving a bit will get him out of the cellular deadzone that has been inflicted on the family. Erin is not pleased, but ultimately has to let him go. She needs to get the remaining family members sorted and organised, find a way to survive, all the while hoping that Crispian finds help soon.
Who has launched the nonsensical attack on the family? When will Crispian return? Will help arrive before they have all been butchered? Why is Erin so adept at defences? Is she a part of what is going on? Why is she so knowledgeable? Will she be able to get them all covered and safe enough to wait for help, or will the family have to join in on the brutalities in order to survive? Is there method to the madness?
This is a fun film provided you do not try to take it too seriously, because then the flawed logic will completely pummel your mind. It was put together well, there was the obligatory blood, guts, and gore, I really liked that, it was well done. It was one of those permanent instances of "you idiots" flashing through your mind but it was a lot of fun, and it was worth waiting for. I can see why some people would have issues, but I can also understand the praise that the film garnered. I must say that there were no likable characters in here though, nobody you really root for or can understand, but then again a horror/slasher film really isn't that much about character development. I thought that Sharni Vinson did a very good job as Erin, she really had me wondering what the hell was up half the time. I thought the premise was alright, though certainly nothing revolutionary. It was shot well, too. The movie played it safe, overall, in terms of what it tried to do, but the recipe worked for this. I had a pretty good time with this one!

By Carlotta Gurl
VANCOUVER — People always ask me what I have learned over my 20-plus years performing in Vancouver and all over North America, and how these memorable experiences have shaped who I am today. Well I'd like to share some of the truth and wisdom I've gleaned from the past two decades with you.
Performing and working with the myriad array of artists and entertainers I've had the extreme pleasure to know, I've learned that nothing is what it seems and to never judge a book by its cover. It's not good to have a preconceived notion of a person simply because of the way they look or how they come across in their first impression. For example, when first meeting me, I'm sure people only see the vapid, vacuous blonde piece of fluff with limited lip sync ability and an ass that would make Christ come off the cross, and for the most part that's true. However, there's much more than meets the eye. Always take the time to delve a little deeper. You may be genuinely surprised what you find.
As a person who has literally swam through the many oceans of change in the party scene, I can honestly say you don't have to frequent every single party every single night. Trust me, I've tried and the only thing it accomplishes is burnout and exhaustion, coupled with horrible hangovers and in some cases explosive diarrhea, not a fun experience let me tell you. Yes, networking at a high profile party where you can exchange ideas with like minded individuals and get to know people on a different level is important and necessary for personal development, and I would say I've probably garnered some great opportunities and exposure at these parties. But to make that happen, I didn't have to go to every single fakkin' one of them. Choose the parties you wanna go to based on who you know is gonna be there, the music, the venue, and whether or not you have a big day the next day. THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER PARTY.
I've had the good fortune of working with many different corporations around town which has led to many exciting experiences and situations both in and out of town. Probably one of the most humbling of these experiences was being in New York last year when the Supreme Court ruling came in favour of legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states. I was there doing a media event with Tourism Vancouver and after the morning event we went to the Stonewall to witness the celebrations over this ruling. It was truly an amazing and poignant moment in time to be at the birthplace of the gay rights movement and experience this milestone firsthand. It was also a very moving experience for me personally as a drag queen seeing and hearing what a key role the drag performers have played in the furthering of gay rights in society. This truly made me feel like I was a part of something much bigger and made me feel that my purpose as a drag queen was much more important than I had ever known. There have been many more but those are stories for another time. Right now my little Lottas out there, I invite you all to throw me some questions for future columns and if there's any way I can help you I will. Be nice to each other and remember the most important thing: we are all pretty…especially me. Love you dahlings.
You can see Carlotta on Wednesdays at 11p.m. at the Junction for the Barron Gurl Show, on Fridays at 11:30 p.m. at the Odyssey for Feature Length Fridays, and on Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. at the Junction for Absolutely Dragulous.

Trafalgar Communications
Friday, 27 September 2013 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM (EDT)
Event Details
How to succeed at content marketing (Open to the public)
Some people dive into social media without giving enough thought to the CONTENT they're going to publish. In this workshop, you'll learn what content marketing is all about, and how you can use it to make connections and win business.
Why should you care about content marketing? Because creating and sharing useful, relevant content on a regular basis can help build word-of-mouth buzz, boost your search engine optimization, make you known as a thought leader, and ultimately generate leads.
In this workshop we'll discuss:
- What content marketing is -- and is not
- When to use various types of content (text, audio, video) during stages of the buying cycle
- How to amplify your content with social media
- Why you need to "think like a publisher"
- The role of curation in content marketing

In Singapore, there are a few Sales that we can't miss. The Great Singapore Sales, The Christmas Sales, and of course the IT Show Sales. In addition to our queuing for KOI, adding lah to the end of every phrase, or begging our friends to buy back an extra Prada from Milan, you're only truly Singaporean if you know what 'tissue chope' is, and what this picture stands for:
Come tomorrow, the COMEX 2011 Show, dubbed the Biggest IT & Consumer Technology Exhibition will be on at Suntec Singapore (levels 1-6). In addition to some 830 exhibitors and lots of eye-candy (cheap deals, check; booth babes, check) to explore, you'll also have the opportunity to game against two of our lovely ladies who will be flaunting their skills on the red-hot, latest and greatest Toshiba Qosmio F750 2D/3D Glasses-Free Gaming Laptop. And we want you to join us!
The Qosmio F750 is not just good looking, but also built for power and hardcore gaming.
With a 15.6-inch Full HD lenticular screen that can display 2D and 3D simultaneously in separate windows, an Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia Geforce GT540M graphics, "distortion-free" Harmon Kardon speakers, a BDXL drive, plus a USB 3.0 port and two of the USB 2.0 variety, you'll find more than you can ask for, all at a really competitive price.
Considering how DotA2 and Diablo3 are launching soon, I may just invest in one to enjoy the superior graphics on this powerful and portable (it's only 3.2kg!) new gadget.
More on the official Toshiba Qosmio site.
And anyhow because all of us need visual reminders, myself included, here are the two PMS* girls representing the team on the first two days (Thursday, Friday):
MsJovial* and yan* will show you how looks can kill.
Saturday will see yan*, kimchi* and zhEn.chEwy* stealing the show, while on Sunday our current main roster will be down to have some fun of our own.
So don't miss the Toshiba Qosmio Challenge with PMS* at COMEX. Level 4, Suntec Convention Hall, booth 8143/8130 this weekend.
While slots last!

Can't have another Bill Gates, I see.
Edit: By the way, small critique on panels 3 and 4. The word bubble placement with the "strong words" distracts from panel 4's response, making the conversation a bit confusing. It would have been cleaner if the "strong words" word bubble was removed.
Still a great page, though. Love the expression on the last panel. I picture my mom acting like this.
4th Mar 2016, 9:25 PM
Gotta side, at least in some small part, with the teacher here (though from her portrayal you must not have had many good experiences with teachers which is sadly par for the course these days.)
If I had a kid in my class that didn't play with others, claimed they were distracting, and was a perfectionist (to the point that I felt the need to comment on it) I might talk to the parent as these are red flags. As red flags go, they're small red flags, but they're still red flags.
Do all red flags mean something's wrong? No. Are they still red flags? Yessssssssss.
Teachers have a bit of a bad rap in that if we comment on behaviour and it turns out to be nothing, we get flak for it (paranooooooid). If we DON'T comment on it and the behaviour turns out to be something serious... Well, at best we're guilt-ridden and at worst we're liable.
TL;DR: The teacher raises valid points but has TERRIBLE bedside manner.
Awesome page as usual!
Also, good for Jayden's mom for sticking up for him.
Sorry for the wall of text.

Since I lived it:
I didn't play well with the others because I was picked on a lot (from the kids at the very start to the toy tearing). So I hung out with others in a different grade than myself. Which wasn't seen because of the brick wall.
I loved to read, and reading took silence for me. So, when other kids were being incredibly noisy and goofing off during reading time, I told them to shut up (the strong words).
I get what the teacher was worried about though. A kid that looks like (from all she knows) as anti-social, they might have thought there was something wrong at the house. I was social, but just not in class. I was more surprised that there was no comment about how often I wanted to sleep.
My mom (who is a business woman before a mother) was raging though, because the perfectionist comment was about me and my artistic skill level being seen so early. I took a lot of pride in every project. The downside was that I didn't want others to touch it or modify it. I wasn't great on working in groups for this reason.
Its all good! I love that it brought up a discussion in some way.
My instructor did notice these things, which was great. But at the time, it felt like it was restricting my willingness to challenge my abilities and learn.
I see what you mean about the lack of commenting and then it rising up to be a legitimate problem. I'm not an instructor myself, but I've been a leader in projects and its tough working on evaluations and bringing them up to a manager. Because if you leave out something dire, you're liable for the problems that arise.
I really appreciate this comment you left.
5th Mar 2016, 7:26 AM
Oh man, I lived this too - my kindergarten teacher of all people hated my guts because I had read every book they had in the first week so I was super bored. I didn't like the other kids, I thought they were dumb, they were also mean for no reason I could really figure out so I just spent my time alone reading through the same old books again and again.
The teacher actually complained that I 'seemed bored' and was doing too well. I ALSO ended up hanging out with kids a grade or so up from me, and eventually they created a special classroom for 'gifted students' for a few of us that just couldn't get along with the kids in our curriculum.
My teacher's crappy attitude towards me and feeling punished for liking to, er, read, and learn, made me burn out on school reaaaaallly early. It sucked, but hey, I'm at where I'm at :'D
It's crazy that it seems like we've got a lot of similar beats in our lives, except for I didn't have the 'growing up on a farm' part and was just familiar with them :)
4th Mar 2016, 9:45 PM
Reminds me of the parent teacher conferences I had last week surrounding a similar issue. X)
Its nice to see more of Jay-D's mom here. Haha, love her attitude! :)
4th Mar 2016, 10:28 PM
Its that time of the year. xD
Her sass is rising.
5th Mar 2016, 4:11 AM
Gotta love the last panel reaction that screams... "And.....?"
Definitely can see things though as well from both sides.
Teacher sees what SHE thinks is a problem, Mom sees NOTHING as a problem.
6th Mar 2016, 1:28 PM
Yeah, both aren't exactly right, but I think what threw her off was "he's five" instead of like, anything else.

Is Jayden meant to have Asperger's Syndrome (which is what I have)? He seems to have traits of it, at least.
16th Apr 2016, 1:24 PM
I'd agree that he carries some traits, but no, I'd not say so. There's things he does that are indicators, but I can't say for sure (mostly because I have the same traits and have been given toys meant for spectrum kids) since I never was diagnosed.
I'd have to do some research to learn quite a bit more.
17th Apr 2016, 1:27 AM
Okay. I can relate to him in several ways though, despite being 10 years older. I rarely hang around with others at school. Sometimes I get called over by people, but then I get impatient and demand that I continue my walk on. I also spend most of my breaks and journeys to/from school listening to music. I even sometimes used to bring a portable cassette player in, until I lost it. Then I began bringing in my portable CD player (circa 1995; it predated EU restrictions so was louder), which was eventually broken by some boys who didn't like it. Now I use my various MP3 players, although none of them are in perfect condition. I don't use my phone for music, since its headphone jack is shoddy, and its total 8GB simply isn't enough when apps and photos consume most of it.
On several occasions I've been challenged by members of staff for "listening to music outside of the cafeteria" at break. I just turn my device off, walk away, and then turn it back on once they're out of site. Is this ever meant to happen to Jayden? In addition, most of what I listen to is from the late 90s or earlier, so what styles does he like? I know not country, nor anything at this stage from the 21st century, but you've never really covered all styles which he does like.
21st Apr 2016, 4:18 PM
What's kind of incredible, is Jayd will have that same journey too. From a walkman, cd to mp3. Those are ultimately the names of the books or three major arcs so to speak.
I feel you on phone headphone jacks sucking. I was lucky enough to get one of the mp3 walkmans (not the super expensive one) and it is the best. SD card expand and now I got 80gigs of music.
Yes. All the time. He'll be trying to listen to music at all hours of the day, from sleeping, to school, to anything. Sometimes it was the only way to focus or keep on task. Otherwise, there was just too much information going on. I lose my mind when there's too many noises.
I want to cover it through time, but he pretty much is learning and loving all things (not country).
80s rock and pop were probably the most. I can't exactly remember when trance was discovered, I'd have to check a few cd cases. Through junior high, there's a classical phase. Lots of phases.
Its amazing to know that there's someone else that can easily be in the company of music in the same way. Its refreshing <3

Don't worry if you're good looking or not, don't complain if you're fat or skinny, don't focus on your physical appearance. Because if someone is going to love you, he must do it no matter how you look. Because when you're 80 years old your physical appearance will change, but your personality won't. That is what real beauty is. In the end, it's not about who's skinnier, or who is prettier. It's about who can survive through all the name calling and the dirty looks. It's about who has the strength to not care and the man who loves you for you.

Engagement photos? Once thought a relic of a bygone age, engagement portraits have seen something of a renaissance in the past few years. Fueled in party by social media, engagements have become a must have in the build up to your wedding day.
Your engagement session with Ryan Richardson Photography is half ice-breaker (building a tower out of straws is optional), half modeling boot camp and half adventure. So how do you get ready for such an amazing experience?
What's Your Story?
You can weigh a hundred different details when planning your engagement session. What will you wear? Where will we go? What will we do? Also, will you need to dragoon several friends into dressing up like regency gentry for your perfect Jane Austen-themed ball?
So what is the love story that you want to tell? Answering that question can make it a lot easier to get the rest of the details to fall into place. After all, if you're an adventurous outdoorsy type there's no need to slip into an evening gown for a trip to the bowling alley (that's for the consciously quirky).
If a theme doesn't spring immediately to mind, brainstorm a few words that describe the two of you and pick two (or three) that most inspire you. Are you foodie hipsters, stylish sophisticates or eclectic artists? With your words in hand (or without them, no one has to know) we can move onto the next step: location.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Iraq War veteran injured in clashes between police and anti-Wall Street protesters felt so strongly about economic inequality that he wanted to do something to change it, his roommate said Thursday.
Scott Olsen, 24, joined the protests as he worked his day job as a network engineer and left his apartment each night to sleep alongside protesters in San Francisco and Oakland, Calif., Keith Shannon said.
Olsen apparently suffered a fractured skull Tuesday during the clashes.
It's not known exactly what type of object struck Olsen or who might have thrown it. The group Iraq Veterans Against the War said officers were responsible for his injury.
Oakland police Chief Howard Jordan said officials will investigate whether officers used excessive force.
Olsen has become a rallying cry, with demonstrators in New York City marching on Wednesday night in support of their counterparts in Oakland and a movement website declaring: "We are all Scott Olsen."
Another round of vigils was being organized Thursday.
Olsen, who is originally from Onalaska, Wis., served two tours of duty in Iraq, makes a good living at a San Francisco software company and had a hillside apartment in a suburb that overlooks San Francisco Bay.
And yet, Shannon said, Olsen felt strongly about the wealth disparity between the rich and everyone else.
"He felt you shouldn't wait until something is affecting you to get out and do something about it," said Shannon, who served in Iraq with Olsen.
Shannon said his roommate felt the anti-Wall Street movement had a chance to create real change.
So each night, he would go out to the tent camps that have sprung up over the past month in cities as the movement spread to protest economic inequality and what they see as corporate greed.
Shannon said Olsen usually called with his whereabouts.
On Tuesday night, Olsen had planned to be in San Francisco, but changed course after his veteran's group decided to go to Oakland to support the protesters there after police cleared an encampment outside city hall.
"I think it was a last minute thing," he said. "He didn't think about it."
Joshua Shepherd, 27, a Navy veteran who was standing nearby when Olsen got struck, said he didn't know what hit him. "It was like a war zone," he said.
Then there was a scramble and he couldn't clearly see the rush of folks who went to Olsen's aid.
A video posted on YouTube showed Olsen being carried by other protesters through the tear gas, his face bloodied. People shout at him: "What's your name? What's your name?" Olsen, however, just stares back.
Shepherd said it's a cruel irony that Olsen is fighting for his life in the country that he fought to protect.
"He was over there protecting the rights and freedoms of America and he comes home, exercises his "freedoms" and, it's here, where he's nearly fatally wounded," Shepherd said.
A hospital spokesman said Olsen was upgraded to fair condition and moved into an intensive care unit on Thursday. His uncle said his parents were flying in from Wisconsin to be with him.
"His mother, this is obviously a heartbreaker to her," George Nygaard, a Marine veteran, said from Wisconsin. "I don't think she understands why he was doing this."
People at OPSWAT, the San Francisco security software company where Olsen works, were devastated after learning of his injuries. They described him as a humble, quiet guy who worked hard over long hours.
"He's been a big piece of what we do here and our growth strategy, so obviously it's pretty devastating for us that he's in the shape he's in," said Jeff Garon, the company's director of marketing.
Olsen had been helping to develop security applications for U.S. defense agencies, building on expertise gained while on active duty in Iraq, Garon said.
Olsen was awarded seven medals while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, which he left as a lance corporal in November 2009 after serving for four years.
He went on two tours in Iraq, one in 2006-2007 and another in 2008, where he worked as a data network specialist. He was awarded seven medals, including the Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medal, according to the Marine Corps.
Olsen moved to the Bay Area in July, and quickly found friends in the veterans against the war group.
The lanky man with a dry sense of humor and sarcastic wit did not show a lot of interest in politics as a teen — he has two tattoos for the group "Insane Clown Posse" on his upper arms, Shannon said.
His tours of duty in Iraq made him more serious, Shannon said.
"He wasn't active in politics before he went in the military, but he became active once he was out … the experience in the military definitely shaped him," Shannon said.

Its great that we have free speech and the right to protest PEACEFULLY.The protesters were warned to disperse and they didnt, the injury could have come from either side.Some of the occupiers were acting like rabid animals its no wonder more were not hurt. I feel sorry for him but he made a choice, before I am attacked for not standing up for him because he is a vet and the cause, I also am a Veteran and have seen my fair share of pain and heart ache. I hope the best for him!
"the injury could have come from either side."
BS and you know it.
how do you know, were you there, you probably caused his injuries. stupid liberals
"It's not known exactly what type of object struck Olsen or who might have thrown it. The group Iraq Veterans Against the War said officers were responsible for his injury."
Since he was facing the cops and the cops were shooting tear gas canisters ,which aren't exactly small, and you see the cop who shot him pull back behind the police line, I'd say it's safe to say it was the cops. But of course no one will ever convince 82nd that it was the cops. People like you and I know the truth, people like 82nd could have been standing shoulder to shoulder with Scott, see the canister shot out of the gun and hit Scott in the head all in slow motion and still wouldn't have believed it! You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make 'em drink!
I believe the conservatives would call Mr. Olsen an unwashed, unemployed, hippie anarchist.
I would call him an American hero.
"The group Iraq Veterans Against the War said officers were responsible for his injury." Really with the way people were acting I am not surprised someone got hurt and this is a group i don't think i would believe anyway. The title says it all……if you don't believe in WAR and protecting your country dont join the Army.
You, JMJ, are about the dumbest person (except for kevin and just sayin') to ever post here.
Reading isn't your thing, is it? This honorable American veteran and patriot was a Marine.
Cops always bust heads, that's all they know.
Sad all the way around. We need to do something about overpaid CEO's but deciding you are going to intrude on the rest of society probably isn't the right way either. Especially when we do have much to be thankful for in this country.
Saw the item on the NBC news. I commend this veteran for his service, but he put himself in harm's way VOLUNTARILY. Hard to determine who injured him so badly, but I wouldn't dismiss ANY possibility. Also saw recent photos of him, looks like he went 'hippie' in a serious way, so it's hard to know what motivated him to do this, at least from my point of view. This isn't the 60's or 70's people, many of us do NOT want to see that replay again. Like it or not, the police have a job to do, and I, as a law-abiding citizen, expect them to do it.
Just because you are a war vet, it doesn't give you the right to break the law or expect to come out on top if you choose to butt heads with the police. I would hope that a war vet, who was involved with peace and security, could understand the duties of law enforcement officers, and respect them as well, especially in your own country. To try to label the average cop as a bloodthirsty, unfeeling, corrupt thug is unfair. Many cops themselves are veterans, as well.
Sounds better than 'Communist injured'. When the agenda of the author is to further the cause he uses things like this stir up emotion. The fact that he is a vet is absolutely irrelavent.
Do you even know what happened? Have you seen the video?
It's time to use force back. Murder is called for.

Annual Litter Pick
Well done and thank you to everyone who turned up on Friday to go litter picking. I was sorry that Phil and I were unable to come this year, but we have filled a few bags of rubbish in our time. What a good job that Doris had abated! Let's now all try to keep the lanes and hedgerows litter free by picking up any rubbish you see at any time.
Bus Shelters
I notice that the Parish Council has been busy again in arranging for the roofs of the two bus shelters to be mended. They now look very smart.
New Village Hall update: February 2017
The Village Hall Management committee led by Antonia Stratford with help from members of the Parish Council and other advisers has been progressing with decisions on the new village hall with the aim that work on the new village hall can start mid to end of July. Planning permission for the new hall was granted last year.
Money already secured £473,00 has already been secured for the project. This figure is made up as follows:
Grants - £381,372; Donations £95,000; Fundraising £6,000;
Fundraising matched by the Heybrooks and Vickers £6,000
Funds already raised by the village include over £300 generously donated by Joy Payne from her Christmas garland making morning. A Christmas coffee and craft sale made £1000. An evening of supper and Murder at The Manor with Thame Players for 60 villagers raised around £800 and the Chearsley boys calendar raised over £1000.
Future Fund Raising
It is anticipated that around £50,000 still needs to be found. One idea for fundraising is to have fundraising bricks, where there could be a showcase inside the entrance hall as brick "slips" or as a "giving tree". The details for this have still to be finalized. Any other ideas or suggestions for fundraising by village societies or individuals will be very much appreciated.
Cost of the new hall build: It is expected the cost of the build will be around £500,000 with £25,000 contingency included. Three more grants are to be applied for which, if successful, would add another £30,000.
Next steps: A Projects Manager has been appointed to finalise the tender documents for submission to contractors shortly in order to appoint a contractor by the end of March with the aim of a start on the new hall in mid/end July
Click on the Village Hall link to keep up-to-date with all developments and news.
Chearsley Cricket Club Quiz
The Club's first social fundraiser of the year will be a Quiz to be held on Saturday March 25 in the village hall at 7:00pm for a 7:30pm start. Larry Warr will be the quizmaster. The cost will be £5 per person. Teams of 8 to 10 people are welcome. Please bring your own food and drink.
There will also be a raffle and auction. As this event has been very well supported in the past, it is advisable to let the organisers know in good time that you would like to come. There will be no tickets issued, just pay on the door, but they need to know how many tables to arrange. Please contact Laura Cambray, who has taken over the role of Club's Fun and Games co-ordinator for the first time. Her mobile number is 07794 241499 or email firstname.lastname@example.com All proceeds will go towards development of facilities at the Club. Any donations for the auction or raffle prizes would be gratefully accepted.

Paddy O'Brian Tied Up In His Jockstrap
The gorgeous UK straight boy, Paddy O'Brian, is an international sensation who started with just solo scenes. He gradually increased to get blow jobs, then finally started fucking guys and doesn't show signs of slowing down. He's even crossing over into the world of kink. He wore some leather and rubber for a scene on UK Naked Men, now he's tied up in a jockstrap on Bound Jocks, and I couldn't be happier.

Antonio Manero the Italian Stallion Jockstrap Lover
Antonio Manero was recently discovered by Jake Jaxson of Cocky Boys. He's an Italian twink boy with a serious underwear and jockstrap fetish. He brought all of his sexiest pairs with him for the video and has some stories to tell. He's a total bottom boy that loves getting fucked in a jockstrap. He loves getting fucked period, but if a pair of underwear has any sort of hole or slit in the back, you can bet he'll be wearing them as a hot cock slides in and out of his boy-hole.

Baseball Jocks in the Locker Room
Here's a little vintage porn scene recently showcased on Sex Gaymes. Two hot baseball players are benched and sent to the locker room for the rest of the game. I'm not sure what position the play on the field, but in here they practice their pitching and catching. One of the jocks goes down on the other. He starts licking the guy's cock over the jockstrap. He's not wearing a cup, that may be why he was benched. Full-on cock sucking soon is underway.

He poses for the camera, and shows us what he's packing on Bentley Race. Along with the jock, he puts on a pair of white soccer socks for that extra athletic look. Once he pulls the pouch to the side, out falls that Hershey bar. He pumps it up to full-mast to give us the full effect of that tool. Check out all the hot photos after the jump.

The Sexiest Swimmer Nathan Adrian Wins 100m Freestyle
The super hot swimmer, Nathan Adrian won Olympic Gold today in the 100m freestyle by just 1/100th of a second. If you're like me, you think this tall, toned jock with the infectious smile is the hottest on the US Swim Team, though, there are many. He just beats them out by 1/100th of a hotness point. Maybe 2/100ths. Either way, here's some photos of him after his greatest race of the 2012 London Olympics and some other sexy photos of him. Too bad they don't wear those tiny Speedos to swim anymore. Enjoy!
Troy Daniels' Pack Attack
It's time for another hot bottom to get used and abused by 5 macho men. Pack Attack from Hot House is back with it's 7th installment, and Troy Daniels is the lucky pig bottom. Troy gets delivered to our tank top wearing rough studs, and they're happy with their purchase. Like little kids on Christmas Day, they take their town out of it's wrapping and start to play with it. They get Troy on all fours, with his legs spread wide, ass framed by the yellow jockstrap, and begin their inspection.

Amanda Roberts Embraces Her 20lbs Heavy 'Weight Loss Trophy' And Appeals Everybody To Do The Same.
Posted January 17
Sometimes the hardest part of making a big change is getting motivated. Generally, people tend to start their weight loss journey with a lot of enthusiasm and passion, but they lose it somewhere along the way. But Amanda Roberts, a 23-year-old, was determined to attain her ideal weight and did everything in her power to do so. Here is her powerful story that will surely motivate you for good.
Amanda Roberts had to fight with obesity all her life.
As a child, she had bad eating habits and would binge on sugar laden foods and carryout. When reality struck and she finally decided to do something about it, it was a little too late. She tried everything from workouts to fad diets and even some medical procedures. But nothing seemed to work. She, just like most of us, was having a hard time staying motivated. In 2014, she finally decided to go through a weight loss surgery. Thankfully, it worked and she lost about 150lbs (68 kilos) over a period of two years.
"Loose skin is a real thing that happens to a lot of people after extreme weight loss," she wrote to her 33,000 followers.
Amanda, after her tremendous weight loss, was left with about 20lbs (9 kilos) of excess skin on her body. But rather than hiding like everybody else, she embraced it. The self-confessed 'Loose Skin Queen' came forward and started posting the pictures of her body on Instagram. The idea behind it was that she wanted others to celebrate their bodies and set an example for them.
'If I "lose another 100lbs [45 kilos]" it will not make my loose skin disappear, I'd simply be an unhealthy 80lbs [36 kilos] person with even more loose skin,' said Amanda.
Recently, she came up with a video and addressed some frequently asked questions about her excessive skin. She mentioned how she is often asked if it's a fake stomach. She quoted, "I can't wrap it in some magical foil or rub some cream on it and make it go away." She further added that the sail is not always smooth. While some days the skin is her 'favorite part of me', sometimes it can be a little too much to deal with and hinders her daily chores.
"But no matter what I may feel from time to time, I remind myself that this is the only body I'll have, and it's so beyond important to let the positive days outweigh the negative," added a proud Amanda.
She posted a picture a while ago that showed her daily struggles with her excessive skin. Though she loves it dearly and considers the excessive skin an important part of her, living with it can be difficult at times and the video unveiled just that. The video has received more than 25,000 views and about 200 comments in the space of just two days and her followers appreciated her for sharing her story.
"Because of the loose skin on my body, I am having a hard time with normal tasks like exercising, running, etc," she wrote on her fundraising page.
Now, Amanda has started a Go Fund Me Page to get her excessive skin removed. So far she has reached $1,442 of her goal of $7,500. Unfortunately, due to some financial issues, she couldn't afford to get it done before and a loan is also out of her reach. Through her Instagram, she is making efforts to normalize loose skin. She proudly said that earning a loose skin takes so much determination, time, and work and one should be proud of it and added, "It's not gross, it's not unattractive. It's literally just skin."

1. The bundle is weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the pressure cooker.
2. Each week has recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with snack ideas, tips, and grocery lists.
3. Not every recipe is for the slow cooker or the pressure cooker but many of them are. These are the exact meals I've used on my weight loss journey.
4. If you're interested in seeing the recipes and shopping list before you purchase you can click the photos of the individual meal plans on the site for more information.
5. I try to release one meal plan every month but around the holidays my posting slows down a bit.
6. You can use whatever recipes in whatever order works the best for your family. These plans are about jump starting your lifestyle change. I designed them to give you a clearer picture of exactly what I've been eating to drop the pounds.
7. The plans are dairy and gluten free. There are a couple plans that contain brown rice and corn so these plans are not grain free but can easily be altered.
-There is one recipe (my ranch dressing) that calls for sour cream or greek yogurt. You can use dairy free sour cream or omit that recipe as it is only on the snack list.
-There is one recipe (my ranch dressing) that calls for sour cream or greek yogurt. You can use dairy free sour cream or omit that recipe as it is only on the snack list.
8. These plans do not contain nutritional information. I can not include that information legally because I am not a licensed dietitian or physician. I do not track it anyway. These plans are focused on portion control which I believe to be more sustainable long term anyway. If you need to track nutritional information for health reasons I recommend the MyFitnessPal app.
9. The Meal Plans are a gluten free/dairy free whole foods focused plan.

Iron Mike – Gruntworks Contributing Blogger
(Continued from Part I)
The next weapon in the reduction of the once-great American man into the simpering pussy so commonly found today is the American school system itself. From the day he sets foot in Kindergarten to the day he's handed his college diploma, being a male in the American education system is at best a huge liability and at worst a life-destroying handicap in an institution run entirely be leftist Democrats. He will have very few male role-models in the classroom until he reaches high school. He will have to read through a curriculum specifically designed around girls' achievement and 'self-esteem' due to the Feminist educational crusades of the early 1990's. While the girls emotionally latch onto books like "The Diary of Anne Frank", "Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret." and "The Joy Luck Club" … the boys are bored out of their gourds praying the day goes faster so they can get to football practice instead of reading about girls getting their first menstrual cycle. His teachers, who majored in Education disciplines in college, got a healthy dose of Feminist theory in their collegiate years and that will manifest itself in the form of disproportionately bad grades and discipline reports for male students. The 'science of Gender' will be used to (it actually already has) infest other disciplines like Psychology, Sociology, and even medical sciences to inculcate anti-male and anti-masculine biases.
Many female educators simply do not know how to handle rambunctious boys in the classroom. Worse yet, a lot of them openly consider the boys' natural inclinations towards boisterousness, disorganization, and competition to be a form of behavioral disorder that needs to be corrected – with drugs. A correction that the pharmaceutical industry is all too eager to help solve, with a rather substantial profit margin for themselves at the end. The passive and compliant behavior of little girls is the standard, and the messy rebellious behavior of little boys is viewed as behaviorally deviant. If your son is gifted and bored with his elementary school curriculum – the prognosis for him is even worse. His teachers often lack the ability to diagnose the ways in which his intellect is failing to be engaged. They probably wouldn't even know how to engage him even if they do recognize his high intellect. He is more likely to be diagnosed with having ADD or ADHD, instead of the obvious fact that he is not intellectually stimulated; his curriculum bores him; and he is finding less desirable ways to engage himself during the 8-10 hours he will spend each day in the government-funded Democratic Party indoctrination centers we refer to as "the public school system". These are just some of the reasons why nearly 70% of American males will be put on Ritalin or other behavioral modification drugs as a child. His teachers, his psychologists, and his parents are being taught that his natural boyish behavior is a malady – and the only solution is to drug him into submission. Children are also denied regular physical activity while being warehoused in their government daycare. Games like Dodgeball, Tag, Red Rover, and Touch-Football are outright forbidden in many places now…games that help develop motor-skills, release pent-up energy, and teach the value of competition. These have been phased out because these games make the fatties, the crybabies, and the girls feel less valuable or hurt their ever-important self-esteem when they fail. Since the weaklings and girls are what the progressive establishment wants, and it makes them look noble and caring to "value the feelings of all students" (one excuse for removing playground Tag from an article I read on the subject) – schools have simply removed all forms of physicality and competition from their campuses. This has done no favors for America's child obesity crisis, and it especially hinders the development and classroom success of boys. Progressive God forbid a boy be allowed to play outside for 90 minutes a day and eat a diet lower in refined sugar… You know, like his father and grandfather did back when ADHD wasn't a thing yet?
Speaking of fathers and before I delve deeper into that subject… Have you noticed how they're portrayed on TV these days? The man of the house is either a moron or a tyrant. Very few heterosexual male characters meet other descriptions in today's primetime nightly lineup. Media is an important weapon in the de-masculinization of the American male. Gay men, pussified nerds, and permissive progressive weaklings are what male children need to grow up watching, not classic tough guys like John Wayne or characters like Colonel Matrix. Movies lately have followed the same feminized formula… "Moonlight" the story of a gay, black, drug addict was of course the most acclaimed film of the year in 2016. "Call Me By Your Name" the upcoming film about a sexual relationship between a 25-year-old man and an underage teen is sure to make all the Oscar voters jizz in their pants this year. Meanwhile movies like Star Wars are being feminized… with devastating results. The latest installment ("The Last Jedi") had every major male character take a backseat to a woman – and Luke Skywalker, the most powerful Jedi ever, dies like a little bitch. Of course, viewers gave it a less favorable rating than "Shrek" on Rotten Tomatoes and it was dropped from Chinese theaters in less than 2 weeks. Obviously, no one in China wanted to see "You Go Girl!" as the central message in a movie about laser wars with space wizards…
Hollywood won't take the hint. Their goal is to press the narrative across the board, not give the people a variety of movies that appeal to different groups. They know that women are 53% of America and control 85% of consumer spending, so eventually their strategy will pay off. Men are not important, other than to be portrayed as incompetent morons and malicious villains opposite an entirely unrealistic strong female lead. Their media influence serves a second function – to help pussify little boys faster. If little boys are only treated to movies where the average man like them is a deeply flawed monster or a buffoon, while the female characters are shown as sensitive, caring, empowered, good, and smart – they will be taught that the feminine is the ideal. Other forms of media are now trying to target little boys with this new progressive message as well. TV, Movies, and internet content aimed at children is designed to teach the little boys (especially the white ones) that they have a deep personal character flaw called "male privilege" and that their maleness makes them a bad person. They don't come out and say this of course or parents would be outraged… instead they frame it in a trifecta: 1) You have "male privilege" 2) "male privilege" hurts girls and makes bad things happen, and 3) You don't want to be a bad person who hurts others do you? I would like to believe that this was just a fringe, but this is a pattern of messages I've seen with increasing frequency lately – particularly in content aimed at children from leftist media outlets on the internet like MTV, Huffington Post, and various YouTube content creators who post videos aimed at a young audience.
The young boys who were awe-struck by Luke Skywalker in 1977 could not relate to the young boys of today who learned that Rey – the random girl from nowhere – is better than the most powerful Jedi ever in every conceivable way… because… "You go girl! Boys are stupid and useless!" While Rey dominates without even trying, Kylo Ren is a moody weirdo who generally sucks at being a Sith Lord despite being trained by a Jedi Master and being the grandson of Darth Vader himself. Rey can fly the Millenium Falcon better than Han Solo – who OWNED the Millenium Falcon. Princess Leia can suddenly survive in the vacuum of space, while 'Greatest Jedi Ever' Luke Skywalker dies from day-dreaming too hard. This deliberate character assassination of all things male is done in the name of "encouraging girls" or "women's empowerment" – but said women's empowerment conveniently must come at the destruction of things men like and relate to… The same way "worker's empowerment" somehow meant killing anyone who owned land when the Bolsheviks took over Russia. This is the new theme that many movies will take from now on. Media exists to reinforce the narrative of "You go girl" and also "Boys, who needs them?" Every Marxist movement has their own version of the 'cultural revolution' and today's media makes sure that culture has a generally disdainful view of men and masculinity…
That cultural disdain for men has had the most profound effect in the home – specifically with fathers. The anti-male progressives are slowly chipping away at all positive reinforcement of masculinity and male role models for young boys in society, leaving young boys with possibly the only one traditional male role model who has the most direct effect in their development of life skills, morals, and character – their father. Naturally, the father is a figure that must be destroyed in the name of progress. This is nothing new for the Marxists either. In the USSR, children attended their state-mandated schooling white their parents – especially dad – slaved away for the people in the factory or the fields. It was the state that took charge of as much child-rearing as they possibly could so that little Ivan and little Katya grew up to be good little communists with no corrupting influence from mom and dad when they grew disillusioned with the glorious worker's utopia. This system proved so effective that many East German parents found themselves hanging from meat hooks in the basement of a Stasi interrogation facility betrayed by their own children (who told on their parents to a teacher) for speaking blaspheme against the writings of Marx and Lenin. The state should handle raising children, theorized Marx, so that men and women could be free to pursue work and leisure and ensure that all society would be of the same shared values. Feminists and the leftists of today have a similarly sinister dystopian vision: destroy the nuclear family, especially the Father…

"Just as when you found the one who can crash the walls; that's when he's gone."
I've visited Mountain View again but this time with my sisters and cousin to celebrate their birthdays on Mom's special day. We went there early in the morning just in time for a good exercise from the main entrance to the canteen where we booked our room. That was pretty tiring because the road although concrete, it was steep. There was no available rooms to accommodate 4 people, but we we're lucky enough to get a room for 2. We didn't had problems because one of my younger sisters could not stay overnight with us because of her work schedule. The bed's size was enough for the three of us to share.
Our room has a perfect view of Cebu city, the mountains, the pine trees and the swimming pool. We got there just in time for the fog to get thick- and it was very pretty! We could hardly see the city view because of the thick fog. But the cool air and the smell of the pine trees were so lovely I was actually thinking of sleeping at the balcony. The balcony though was spacious enough for us to enjoy the view and the food.
After lunch, we've decided to swim in the pool. I was surprised and a little disappointed when I first knew that we had to pay for the pool entrance separately even if we have a room. Later did I realized, it was quite reasonable enough. Aside from the affordable rooms, we all know the Filipino ninja moves: 2 people to check in but 6 people to use the resort's facilities; which business-wise is indeed unfair. On the other hand, the pool wasn't really worthy enough. That was when I was swimming that I've noticed the algae on the walls of the pool. At first, I thought it was the pool's design but when I looked a little
closer, it wasn't! We have also observed that the staff did not change the water that night. They just removed the floating leaves the next morning and voila! The pool is open for the following day's guests. There were a lot of guests the previous day and mostly children, so imagine those kids doing their little businesses in the pool. Don't get me wrong, we all know that.
Going back to Sunday events; in the afternoon while my sisters were sound asleep in our room, my cousin and I went to the top part of the resort and found more breathtaking, picturesque landscapes. We also roamed around the Rope Course adventure park.
At dinner, we went to Fire Tree Nook Bar and Restaurant where we enjoyed Sinigang na Pasayan (Shrimp soup) perfect for the cold night. The night view was beautiful and lovely. There were no visible stars and the rain clouds were covering the moon. But this did not stop the moon rays from peeping through the thick dark clouds. That was really romantic I wish I have Fakundo* behind me hugging me tightly… It's just sad that there's a little chance for that moment to happen because well… he's going home and probably forget about me.
Drama aside, below is the list of our expenses. Please note that rates may change without prior notice. Mountain View's contact number is also indicated. It's best to call them for room reservations specially during weekends and holidays. They also offer shuttle service. Please check out my older post.
Gaisano Country Mall – Mountain View (Taxi) – 200php (we had to add 40php on top of the metered rate because the place is far from the city)
Resort Entrance – 50php/person *you also have to pay for the entrance even if you're staying overnight or with a room
Room (good for 2 people with balcony and CR) – 1,000php
Pool – 100php/person
Dinner – 500~600php (yep, very affordable and delicious too!)
Lunch-Breakfast/Groceries – 1,000php (Gaisano Country Mall) *No corkage fee
Busay – JY Mall (Jeepney) – 10php/person (from the corner entrance road to Mountain View, about 50m far)
JY Mall-Country Mall – 7php/person
If I'm going to rate this visit this time, it had to be 3.5/5 overall experience. Blame the pool! hahaha!
*Fakundo (n): a man. a boyfriend. someone special. 😉 ❤

Who Would You Hire? (1 Corinthians 14:12)/
Facebook's co-founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has one rule for hiring. "I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person."
Clearly this philosophy has benefitted his company. It is sign of humility, a willingness to hire someone who may actually compete with or supplant his own position. But Mark is able to put his ego aside to do what is best for his company. If his employees succeed, they all succeed.
I have attended many churches replete with gifted teachers and pastors. When the church is in harmony with God, it is a magnificent symphony of the Holy Spirit working through that body of believers. But when personality conflicts, egos, and selfish ambitions intervene, only disaster can result. And God is dishonored.
Like Mark Zuckerberg, the senior pastor in a church must be willing to surround himself with gifted individuals, who may even be more gifted than himself in certain areas of ministry. The church cannot be a breeding ground for pride and selfish ambition. The only ambition of every church member should be to build the Body of Christ through the utilization of their unique talents as bestowed upon them by the Holy Spirit.
So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.
1 Corinthians 14:12
The Corinthian church was also beset by competing egos that escalated into frank immoralities. The Apostle Paul called for unity within the Church by asking each believer to use their unique spiritual gifts for the Church and not for their glory or self interests. It is a sobering message and one that every church needs to be mindful. Egos and ambition have no place in the Body of Christ.
Love and trust the Lord; seek His will in your life.

Unity Books was thronging once again on Thursday 3rd August as Wellington writer and historian Redmer Yska launched his latest work A Strange Beautiful Excitement: Katherine Mansfield's Wellington.
The book was introduced by Emily Perkins, writer and senior lecturer at the International Institute of Modern Letters; Rachel Scott, publisher at Otago University Press and Gabor Toth, Local and New Zealand History Specialist at Wellington City Library. A lively reading by Gabor's daughter Klara put voice to the youthful writings of Mansfield, after which eager punters were able to buy the book and have it signed by Redmer.
A Strange Beautiful Excitement is an intermingling of fact, fiction and biography that fleshes out the colonial cityscape that influenced Mansfield during her youthful years. It delves into previously untold aspects of her childhood, ancestry and social surroundings.
Copies of A Strange Beautiful Excitement by Redmer Yska can be purchased from Unity's online bookshop here.
