Young, British And Angry: What fuels the English Defence League?
One of the main reasons I have ended up doing what I now do - making documentaries from the less accessible and hospitable parts of the world - is that I have always been slightly desperate to escape small town English life.
I grew up in Bedford, but most of my family is from neighbouring Luton, which has won several "crap town" competitions. I went there often as a child. My first ever mugging happened there. But apart from a few Christmas dinners, I've never had much desire to go back.
But then slowly, over the last few years, Luton started getting national headlines - none of them good.
The 7/7 bombers set off from there, the infamous protest against British soldiers was there and there had been several street battles that looked eerily similar to the race riots of the 70s and 80s.
When a new movement, calling itself the English Defence League, or EDL, was launched there, and soon started to grow, attracting front page headlines every time it staged a demonstration, I started looking at Luton again much more seriously.
The EDL is a fast emerging right-wing group which, over the last 11 months, has attracted thousands of predominantly young men to demonstrations around Britain.
I wanted to find out how powerful the EDL could become, what attracted so many young men to join - and whether, as they claimed, they were non-violent and non-racist, and genuinely dedicated to standing up to what it said was a serious threat from militant Islam.
Luton has had waves of immigration since my Dad was a child - Irish, Italian, African and Asian. It is often held up as a poster child for multicultural Britain.
For some, and especially for the EDL, this is a myth. They claim that not only is Luton not the happy melting pot it's often claimed to be - it's actually a town with tensions simmering so close to the surface that it won't take much for there to be a "civil war".
Did they have a point worth listening to? Some of my favourite writers had become dedicated to critiquing Islamism (very different to Islam) but others claimed that EDL were part of the problem, not the solution.
I first went to an EDL demo late last year, in Manchester. I'd spoken to several leaders on the phone, told them about my Luton connection, and that I was interested in making a film about them.
They were enthusiastic, and some were clearly obsessed with militant Islam - as they saw it, the enemy the EDL had been set up to combat. We had long chats about Sharia, terrorism and how the EDL had been formed.
I was even told that they'd decided it was stupid to be fighting each other on a Saturday afternoon at football matches, when they should all be uniting to fight Islamic extremism.
But in Manchester the leaders suddenly ignored my calls, and none of them were at the arranged meeting places. Instead, several other EDL supporters threatened to beat me up, saying that the BBC "supported Islamic extremism."
I'd just come back from Afghanistan, and made the point that I had been shot at many times by Islamic extremists, but the EDL weren't in the mood for a discussion.
Months later, myself and a colleague, Steve Grandison, managed to persuade a few EDL members, and one leader, to let us film with them.
The resulting programme, which took two months to make, was an open minded look at what was fuelling the EDL.
We came across so many examples of violence and racism, from EDL demos to EDL Facebook groups, that it was hard to resist the conclusions of so many other people - that the EDL were little different to the other far right groups that have come before them.
But equating them with the BNP, Combat 18, or the National Front is far too simplistic, as is dismissing them as racist thugs. They have black members, even a few Muslim members, and their main speaker is an Indian Sikh.
But - and this is perhaps where multicultural Britain is showing some cracks - there was regular and extreme racism against Muslims. Not extremist Muslims, terrorists or foreign fighters, but all Muslims.
One moment completed all the thoughts I had been having about the EDL throughout the making of this film.
I was in a Luton pub with two of the founding members of the EDL, who had been celebrating St George's Day.
Two childhood friends of theirs arrived, brothers, and African Muslims. One was practising, the other wasn't.
"We agree with you about Islamic extremism," they told their EDL friends.
"We'd be side by side with you at those demos, but there are just too many idiots there, we'd end up in fights."
This summed up perfectly the problem the EDL has - as long as you can hear and see racism and violence at its demos - as long as its main tactic remains organising what is essentially football awaydays - where hundreds, and sometimes thousands of young men get tanked up and march into town centres, looking and sounding like they want that civil war they have predicted, it's difficult for many people to take any political point seriously.
Hopefully the film will give a good sense of where they have come from - and we leave it up to viewers to decide what chance they think the EDL has of being taken seriously as a legitimate protest group.
Ben Anderson is the presenter of Young, British And Angry.
Young, British And Angry is available in BBC iPlayer until Wednesday, 26 May.

Thanks for the programme Ben.I was intrigued by the presence of Scots on the EDL marches and the waving of Rangers football flags.The standard chant of the EDL with variations , was, " No Surrender".In the past there have been attempts by Fascist groups to articulate with loyalists in Scotland.I also noted that one of the key organisers on the marches was Northern Irish.
This added, for me, another layer to the complexity of the ideology/ideologies of the EDL , the notion of Englishness and one which might have born investigation.

Thanks for the programme.
A few points.
1. The EDL are connected to the BNP as their website founder/creator is a BNP member.
2. Mr Singh is the one and only Sikh member which shows the Sikhs do not agree with his views.
3. The EDL website forum is littered with racist remarks including violent threats against Muslims. If you register and try to have a debate with the EDL, you are banned. The public cannot even read their forum unless they register and then their views are sympathetic to the EDL's.
4. The EDL fly the Israeli flag but none have ever stated why?
5. The amount of money spent policing their demo's is huge. The EDL therefore should be made to foot the bill especially if they indulge in criminal damage.
6. Police have a hard job but have failed to take action every time against those who commit race crimes.

Having seen the film i came to the conclusion that the EDL wasnt racist or fascist. They are (for the most part) genuinely protesting against extremist islam which is seen as deeply threatening to British culture. Just as a minority of White working class men ARE violent racist thugs, so a minority of muslims ARE extremists looking to create an islamic state governed by sharia law.
I found some of the presenters opinions "naive" in a sense.
I dont feel that he really understood how the white working class work. Im from the NE of england and the vast majority of the people I live with would have been branded as racist by that film.
They will regularly use "racist" language but its simply the language that everybody around them uses, to them they are just words.
Read any Newcastle-Sunderland football messageboard or got to the match and they will be full of the "racist" chants in the film but with muslim replaced by Mackem. Yet anyone who lived there would know that Geordies dont hate Mackems(no matter how much they refuse to admit it).
I would also appreciate it if you bore in mind that extremist muslim and pakistani require considerably more effort to work into your average football chant than simply muslim or the shortening of pakistani.(And that since the majority of Britains muslim immagrants are pakistani in most working class eyes the terms are interchangable).
I thought it was unfair that the man who founded the EDL was accused of being a racist when he supported the BNP. His explanation seemed fair. To suggest that he should have known the BNP were racist because of what is in their constitution was laughable. When millions of people didnt know who Nick Clegg was before the debates and millions still dont, it is absurd to think that ordinary people would ever take the time to read the BNP constitution and as he says, the policies in their leaflets are crowd pleasing and hard for anyone to disagree with.

That last comment is hilarious- methinks it's from an EDL member. So the reporter is naive (you should watch some of his other films on youtube) to find racist comments offensive, while the EDL member who was "tricked" into NOMINATING a BNP candidate, who he had no idea were a racist party, was fair enough. Now there's a rational argument. You don't have to read the BNP's entire constitution to know they're racist. You just need to look at the news once in a while, read the odd newspaper maybe? And if that's too much effort- you wouldn't then nominate someone you know nothing about. Please.

MannyP Im afraid you completely wrong about me. Im a 19 yearold oxbridge student and a member of the liberal party, born and raised on what was until recently the largest council estate in europe.
Mabye naive was the wrong word but i deliberately chose to use qoutation marks to highlight that i was uncomfortable about the word i chose. It is somewhere around uneducated/biased (but not deliberately so).
For the BNP nomination question. I think you fail to realise how little the white working class as a whole understand about politics (see Nick Clegg in previous comment) many dont bother to read a paper let alone watch the news. When they do buy a paper it is likely to be the sun/star/mirror/sport which have relatively little political coverage and they are most likely to buy a paper on sundays for the sports section. In 2007 the BNP would only have appeared in a small number of the 300 odd editions of the paper and when the nomination was made it was still perfectly possible that the man had never heard of the BNP.
(Also bear in mind I never said tricked. I was complaining that the presenter seemed to assume before the question that he had read the BNP constitution). As for nominating someone you know nothing about im afraid this is a part of their culture that most people dont understand. Ever heard a comedian from the North saying that the south (usually London) isnt friendly? Get on a Newcastle metro and the chances are youll find yourself in a conversation. On one conversation most people will then class you as a mate if they enjoyed it and youll always do your mate a favour. Thats what being mates is all about. So based on a decent decent conversation and a crowd pleasing leaflet Id estimate the majority of my neighbours would do something as simple as sign a peice of paper.(The film said he was one of the ten signatures needed and im afraid im not completely sure of the procedure if you are one of the two nominees rather than simply one of the 8 signatures so Im not really sure if my arguement would apply in that case)
Secondly the "racist" chanting. Id like to cast your mind back to the 2008/9 premier league season in which Newcastle United were fined for chanting "Mido the P###o" (I dont know if that needs starring but ill stay on the safe side). Newcastle fans would knew that he wasnt engaged in child abuse and it certainly wasnt a racial attack but the words rhyme . Therefore it makes a funny football song. People I know will cause each other p###o`s because they think its funny. Its the puerile humour of much of Britains youth but scaled up for the white working class. To them it is not truly offensive (in that it is an insult but they wouldnt get angry about their mates using it). Most of the chanting was of this sort. Its seen as fun and its not truly racist although someone used to football chants (Man Utd and some london clubs work differently) would have understood this. The film showed members singing on the trains with their mates and having a drink. I assure you that this wasnt just for the film but a regular part of the average fans fun even on non-match days. Therefore to make the songs better and more fun to sing extremist is dropped and simply muslim used. (There is an element of racists obviously but the vast majority arent).
Im afraid that a dearth of white working class people in the media and upper echelons of society means that those outside the group dont truly understand their mindset.

Hmmm extn.Let's all play the "white working class" card then.I also grew up in a hard,all white working class environment.In Scotland not England. I go to support my local football team.Never heard a racist chant yet.Last time someone started that nonsense he was rapidly silenced.
Whilst supposedly standing up for the "white working class" you have succeeded in being patronising to explain away our ignorance on all matters political and social and downright insulting to the vast majority who do not have any truck with racism in whichever form it disguises itself.
You have accused the maker of the documentary of naivety.Whilst accepting that the piece was not perfect( see my earlier post) may I suggest that you "cast out the beam in your own eye" first.As an "Oxbridge" man yourself I would hope that you recognise the source of the quote and its meaning.

p for paddy. I can see im out numbered and Ive made most of my points and so im going to finish with this.
Ive already explained naive is wrong and Im still not happy with my description from my last comment. But I refuse to sit back and let people tar my friends, family and neighbours with a racist brush. Pretty much everybody I know would have been tarred by this film but they are not racist.
As for being patronising my description may not ring true for your home town but it certainly does with large areas of mine.
I have never heard a racist football chant either. But i believe these chants are not racist as I have tried to explain.
Every time I have mentioned that there are some racist people and there are violent people both in the films and at home but they are in a minority yet in the film i recognised people i know (not literally)who were branded by this film.
Mabye its because im not used to doing this but although i can see your point i find the comments that have been made unfair. Ive been branded as hypocritical and of trying to defend racism by you and as ignorant by a previous commenter. I have tried to be fair (although I accept you mightnt see it that way) and I recognise that some of my phrasing isnt how I would have liked it to appear but Ive been met with absolute condemnation. Even if you disagree with me I hope you will agree that there is at least an element of truth in what I am trying to say.

By "these chants" I mean most of the chants at the edl rallies not similar chants during football matches, in which case they would be racist. The context of the protest is important.

I feel that the read is missing the larger picture; I live in an affluent, middle class area of a "norther town" and many of the views raised by the EDF are expressed by people in our local. These are not the rabid, white "under class" youth portrayed in the film, but middle aged family people who are mindful of our nation's historical background and are aware of its multi cultural heritage and proud of their country, whether from birth or by choice; however they are all concerned by the perception of Islamisation in our city. These people represent a diverse range of political backgrounds, however they all state the same basic fears that the cultural face of Britain is changing, and that many of the rights and freedoms, won by the people of Britain over centuries, are being eroded, both directly and indirectly, due to the increasing influence of Islam in the UK. As a lifelong Socialist I find this worrying and I feel that if the views of "middle England" are not recognised, then there is a real fear that parties like the EDF will become a voice for those who consider themselves to be the silent majority.

I am a working class, fully employed, English male. I have just watched your thought-provoking program.
So, "What fuels the English Defence League?"
I think the main thing is ignorance and poor education.
A lot of the people I noticed were not even English. They should change their name to the, British Defence League. In fact they should not even go with that name. As, "peaceful protesters" the name, "Defence League" sounds kind of aggressive?
My next point is terminology. To be English is to have a ethnic trait. It is not simply where you were born. There are many factors including geographic and cultural. But now because of the fact that terminology in this country has gone so out of hand due to lack of education and being to scared to say anything in case it offends anyone I have to tread very carefully because I am under threat of being called a racist when I AM NOT! Here goes... English people are white. It's silly that I have to go through all that at the start to state a fact. That's why they are not the, "English (?) Defence League" as they have members from all British ethnic backgrounds, and rightly so.
So, terminology by the English Defence league was wrong. Who else? Well the program and Ben Anderson are very wrong too. To be against someone because they are Muslim IS NOT RACIST! Islam is not a race! Quite a big deal there Ben! Islam is a religion. This is very important.
Im tired of hearing about how if someone is against Islam or immigration has undertones of racism. On that basis, everything has undertones of racism!
The EDF do not represent the true English people and I feel ashamed that they think they represent modern Britain!
Terminology; if everyone is singing off the same song sheet then there is no room for mistakes like hating Muslims is racist. Terminology ties is with Education. Education is very important to get rid of ignorance. It seems the EDF just guessed the ethnic make up of areas and made ludicrous assumptions on what was happening there.
I conclude; lack of education, Islamic extremist and old wife's tales "fuels the English Defence League." Also I read a story recently about how London Black cab drivers were, PERMITTED to fly the St George flag because of the looming world cup. John Kennedy, chair of the RMT London Taxi branch, said: "At last, TfL have listened to taxi drivers who want to support the England team.
"We all want to win at the World Cup and there's nothing wrong with displaying a George Cross in your cab for the right reasons rather than some of the more negative aspects of the flag that you sometimes hear about."
Negative aspects!? What negative aspects? So there is a environment of being scared to be patriotic that fuels the EDF because people get angry. Again that all ties in with education.
Thank you for your time.

Wow, It is amazing to everyone's view on the EDL.
I frankly was disgusted at the programme. Pure BIAS. The documentary failed to show just how the UAF are as just as bad. (With the leader getting arrested for violent misconduct). The last EDL march went swiftly with no arrests. Ofcourse you will get racist remarks but those are from the people who are neglecting to see the point of the EDL. They were formed when a group of extremists gate crashed the homewarming parade in luton calling our armed forces rapists etc. Wouldn't you be disgusted? Someone had to stand up to make a point that extremists are not wanted in this country. & as for the comment at the top? The founder being BNP? no-one in the leadership is supportive of the BNP.
& also one of the leaders being sikh being the only one? You should attend the demos. There are plenty of races there. Just this documentary failed to show that other than 1 black young individual and then the Irish muslim. There are plenty more who come along.
The EDL are not racists or fascists. They just want the threat of extremists and extreme islam from being introduced into this country. I'm sure you've heard the news of the terroist who has been cleared of deportation on the grounds that he fears he may die should he return to his ocuntry. Well woopy doo. SHouldn't try killing innocent people in this ocuntry. I do however sypathise that he may die but should have thought of that before commiting the worst crime I believe there is. I speak to represent this as I lost my uncle in 9/11. Something has to be done to stop extremism in this ocuntry. That's what the EDL WANT to do. Don't label the group just because of youths on a day out looking to cause trouble.
Peace :)

A Persons nomination of a candidate and a persons vote for a candidate are two different things!
This poor fellow years back signed a nomination paper for a BNP candidate who appeared on his doorstep.
It is shocking to see somebody derided by Ben and the BBC for what is a simply nomination of a candidate to stand in an election.
What happens as the BBC know full well (but preferred to imply this fellow is racist instead) is a simple doorknock from the candidate. Every candidate who wishes to stand has to ask 10 people for a signature on a clipboard. The candidate has to convince the nominee only that he offers a democratic choice to appear on the ballot paper. Not that they should vote for him or support his politics!
The BBC spin the fellow was giving the candidates party his support, is utter rubbish.
I have nominated party candidates I hate and would never support with a vote like the Greens, because I support the democratic process!

Hi I'm William
I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I know who I am, I know Gods plan, I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I'm a representative of Jesus Christ, a Mormon missionary, serving in the Pennsylvania Philadelphia Mission, and my job is to invite others to come unto Christ. Prior to living out in Pennsylvania serving the Lord and his children, I lived in the great state of Oregon where I worked at one of the best pizza places in the world. When I was not making dough and delivering pies, I enjoyed all of the beautiful trees, lakes, mountains, hiking and dirt biking trails my surrounding area could offer. I think my love for the outdoors sprang from my days earning my Eagle in the Boy Scouts of America. Nature also brings a peace to my spirit in seeing all that God has created for us to enjoy and support us as we inhabit his beautiful Earth.
Why I am a Mormon
I'm a member of this church because I know that Jesus Christ is the head of it, and that it is the one and only true church upon the face of the earth, and I know that he will never lead us astray. I know that God loves us and that is why he has called a prophet on the earth today to lead us and guide us to return to live with him. I know that The Book of Mormon is the word of God, and that every man and woman on earth can know this by reading it, pondering the content of it, and asking our Heavenly Father if it is true. God loves each and every one of us, and knows our needs and desires always, and that is why he has given us the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, so that all those questions may be answered. I know this because the spirit has testified of it to my mind and heart over and over. I do hope that whoever reads this will feel inclined to find for themselves the great treasures hidden in The Book of Mormon, that they may find that Jesus is the Christ and that he lives and loves us, and has paved the way for us to recieve Eternal Life.
How I live my faith
I believe that the best way to show your faith is by simply doing what God asks. Love Him and show that you love Him by being obedient to his commandments. Serve everyone with care and compassion. Many times we are asked to do things that are harder than we would like them to be, but these are chances to show our faith and grow!

Spring Gardening Tip from Banana Chronicles:
Did you know that you can use your leftover banana peels as fertilizer for your flowers and vegetables? It's pretty easy, and they add key nutrients such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur and phosphates. Just follow these quick easy steps and you'll have the start of a healthy garden in no time.
- Dry your saved banana peels over time or heat in the oven until the outside of the peel is hard and brown.
- Chop up into smaller pieces to speed up the "natural breaking down" of the banana peel into the healthy nutrients.
- Mix into the soil before planting and you'll have an organic material that's not only healthy but helps retain water.

Member Blogs > Books Tell You WhyCollecting Striking Editions of the Rubaiyat
Fri, 14 Apr 2017 08:00:00 Permalink
I bought my edition of the Rubaiyat from a secondhand bookstore. I can't tell exactly how old it is; it doesn't include a date. It was printed by Concord Books, Inc., a publisher whose fate I've yet been able to discern. But the volume itself is attractive: a faithful representation of the same Persian poem that captivated Victorian readers some 150 years ago. That is, it's exquisitely translated, and comes with joyous, beautiful illustrations to boot.

Cameroon, Costa Rica, the Ivory Coast, Mexico, Nigeria and the U.S. have all qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015, leaving just three berths up for grabs for next summer's 24-team tournament.
The three remaining finalists will come from the winners of two separate playoffs and the Oceania championship.
Barring a miracle, defending champion New Zealand will emerge out of Oceania once again, having beaten host Papua New Guinea 3-0 and Tonga 16-0 so far at the regional qualifier. The Kiwis play the Cook Islands on Wednesday.
Trinidad and Tobago, which finished fourth in CONCACAF qualifying, will face Ecuador, the third-place finisher in South America, in an intercontinental playoff for the chance to play in Canada. The two-legged playoff will start Nov. 8 in Quito with the return leg Dec. 2 in Trinidad and Tobago.
Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland and Ukraine are currently embroiled in playoffs to decide the eighth and final European berth in Canada.
Italy will take a 2-1 lead to Lviv on Wednesday for the second leg of its semifinal with Ukraine while the Dutch hold a 2-1 advantage going into Thursday's second leg with Scotland in Rotterdam.
The home-and-away final is scheduled for late November.
Mexico became the 21st country to book its ticket to the women's showcase after defeating Trinidad and Tobago 4-2 in extra time in suburban Philadelphia on Sunday to finish third at the CONCACAF qualifying tournament, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean.
The U.S. won the CONCACAF tournament Sunday, defeating Costa Rica 6-0. Both teams had already qualified by reaching the confederation final.
The top-ranked Americans have qualified for every Women's World Cup since the tournament's inception in 1991 and have never finished lower than third. The U.S. won in 1991 and 1999, finished runner-up in 2011 and were third in 1995, 2003 and 2007.
For No. 30 Costa Rica, it's a first trip to the Women's World Cup.
The Ivory Coast qualified Saturday with a goal six minutes from time to defeat South Africa 1-0 and finish third at the African championship in Windhoek, Namibia. For the Ivorians, it was a welcome reprieve after losing to Cameroon on a 118th-minute goal in the African semifinal.
Nigeria won the African championship for the ninth time with a 2-0 victory over Cameroon, who both qualified by reaching the final.
The Nigerians have played in the six previous World Cups. It's a first for No. 51 Cameroon.
The official draw for the Women's World Cup is scheduled for Dec. 6 in Ottawa. The tournament, whose use of artificial turf is the subject of a human rights complaint from a group of elite players, runs June 6 to July 5 in Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver.
Canada, ranked eighth by FIFA, qualified automatically as host.
The Canadian women face No. 3 Japan on Tuesday in a friendly at Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium, site of the World Cup final. Japan defeated Canada 3-0 on Saturday in Edmonton.
Canada (host), Australia, Brazil, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Ivory Coast, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, U.S.

I've always been an organizer. From a young age, I created schedules, carried planners and loved the idea of being neat and tidy. I wasn't the child that had to be told to clean her room. In fact, I regularly cleaned the house without being asked just because I liked to do it. I thrive in an environment of order. It just makes me happy.
Now, I know what you're thinking. That's wonderful, but what does any of this have to do with me? I'm realistic so I don't expect everyone to feel the same way about organizing as I do. I do believe, however, that you've landed here for a reason. The fact is that everyone has a natural way of organizing their lives. The question is, as Dr. Phil puts it, "How's that working for you?"
This brings us to the most logical place to begin: the beginning. Most people are surprised to find out that two of the most essential elements of organization don't have anything to do with physical space. The first is to be open and honest with yourself about where you are organizationally, and how you got there. The second is to be willing to learn something new to change your current behavior. Understanding and harnessing these principles can really help to make a difference in your life today.
My hope is that this blog becomes a platform which cultivates an educational and inspirational reservoir of organizing solutions, ideas and experiences which is shared openly and embraced wholeheartedly. The opportunity to start being the organized, balanced person you desire is just around the bend. Let's get started.

The Importance of E-Safety and Appropriate Online Behaviour
Internet Safety when using ScratchPDF,206 KB
Schools play a key role in equipping pupils to stay safe online, and whole-school planning in this area is essential. The Levels of Progression for Using ICT include this statement: 'Pupils should demonstrate, when and where appropriate, knowledge and understanding of e-safety including acceptable online behaviour.'
E-safety is not a separate assessment criterion; rather, schools must integrate it across the curriculum at a level appropriate to each pupil. It should be embedded across teaching and learning, not 'bolted on', to ensure that pupils have opportunities to develop their knowledge and understanding in this area. This includes a focus on:
- pupils' conduct online;
- their contact with others; and
- the content they access and produce.
Netiquette is sometimes used to describe acceptable and appropriate online behaviour. It covers, for example:
- being courteous;
- being diplomatic;
- showing sensitivity to others (including cultural awareness);
- using acceptable, appropriate language; and
- using and publishing acceptable, appropriate content.
Schools should emphasise the dangers of pupils making personal information available via social networking sites, personal web pages, blogging etc.

1850 - 1895
Eugene Field was born September 2, 1850, in Saint Louis. Field was one of the few poets who wrote only children's poetry. At the age of fifteen, Eugene was shipped off to a small private school in Massachusetts and later attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
He set off for a trip through Europe but returned to the United States six months later, penniless. Field then began work as a journalist for the St. Joseph Gazette in Saint Joseph, Missouri and soon rose to become city editor. Several of his poems were set to music with commercial success. Some of his most famous poems are "Wynken, Blynken,and Nod," "The Duel," and "Little Boy Blue."

I like the Samsung tablet for their stylus, but the price is very expensive.
The old Samsung Note 10.1 is a good tablet, but I prefer the software on the newer Samsung Note 10.1 2014, but it is a shame Samsung, upgrading the software on the older tablet, which are fairly priced.
$850 tablet that can't run Microsoft Office? how do we supposed to work? magic?
AnonD-12453, 04 Feb 2014you are weird too. that blacberry was design by porsche and supposed to be a desginer item. th... moreIn case you have noticed. I just pointed out the obvious that there is no comparison between a phone and a tablet regardless of its price. That was my intentions. Well, honestly, I was feeling the same which you had described in your response but all I was doing is making up a point. That's all.
AnonD-134497, 04 Feb 2014*Laughs Out Loud*
You seriously are comparing a phone with a tablet? How about this $2500+ sm... moreyou are weird too. that blacberry was design by porsche and supposed to be a desginer item. that's why its expensive. iphone 5s is expensive for a different reason. that is obvious.
btw its not a good thing that a tablet is more expensive than a phone. its was always the other way around before this. even ipad is cheaper than iphone.
Once again, no thanks Samsung. Either Sony Vaio or Microsoft Surface Pro. I'm not buying this mobile crap for this price.
Guys If you really want android tablet, get a "Pipo M9 Pro 3G" tablet, for about 220 it has anything android tablet could ever have.
But that's still not too much, so stick to the Windows!!
For this price I'd rather get Sony vaio pro laptop with i7, 8GB ram and 256 SSD and with fully operational operating system and not some mobile crap. Tablets are only useful for VIEWING content, not CREATING it. Try writing a two page word document with proper formatting, some graphs, some pictures on a tablet. Yeah, you'll quickly resort to a 300 laptop for that. Unless you get an extra external keyboard for tablet, which then sums to almost 1000. For this price I can get 512SSD in mentioned laptop and Lumia 525 with it.

You seriously are comparing a phone with a tablet? How about this $2500+ smartphone? http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_porsche_design_p%E2%80%999982-5856.php :)
What more sensible is comparing this with a Surface Pro 2. I would buy a Surface Pro 2 any day, any time, if I am going to spend that much price on a tablet. Heck there is no comparison between an ARM based OS to an x86 based OS.
At this price you can just get a Surface Pro 2, which has an Intel i5 CPU, Windows 8.1 Pro and does much much more than the Android tablet.
No thanks Samsung, cut 200-300$ off the price, and then it's a maybe.
AnonD-134497, 03 Feb 2014Wow, $850.....the price of the tablet is more reasonable than the price of the iPhone 5s 64GB with just has 4" display. isn't that LOL :)
The price is not bad at all for what you get.
I'll probably wait for the large-screen iPad, simply because I find the iPad's screen ration much more useful for a tablet, plus the iPads are better built.
But really, it's not a bad price and it's a good product.
What a consumer stabbingly expensive product. So much Samsung everywhere these days.
I am still waiting for the Samsung 10.1 2014 to reduce in price.
In Great Britain, it costs more then the US. No thanks to high sales tax (VAT 20%)....

"By Reputation" Mz Berlin and Mistress Gemini - 43 Minutes Video
Mistress Gemini has the reputation for being a cruel sadistic Dom, taking pleasure in her submissive's pain and laughing at it. Mz Berlin has the reputation as being a no holds bar pain slut with an I'll do anything attitude. Pairing these two up is either a match made in heaven or in hell. One little thing I think I should mention is that Gemini sharpens her ruby red nails to a razor fine point. One simple stroke or grab with her talons is enough to bring you to your knees.
"Fall Tart" Anastasia Pierce - 131 Images
I've tied a lot of women and Anastasia in one of my favorites. She's kinky, beautiful and always with a smile on her face. The more restrictive the bondage, the more her eyes roll back in her head.
I think this fall we need to create our own world bondage day. We have a day for everything else, anybody with me on this one ?

"Suck and Fuck" with Dana DeArmond and Eden Wells - 38 Minutes Video
Magic happens when Dana and Eden get together, an instant FetishNation classic. Eden takes out her strap-on once again and Dana gets down on her hands and knees for it. She'll do whatever it takes to earn the large black cock. This is one of the dirtiest Lesbian domination scenes we've put up by far. It definitely shows that Dana and Eden have some chemistry from soft sexy kisses, to harsh face slapping, to ass banging pussy pounding fucking and enough bound orgasms to last her until the end of the year or close to it...
"Getting Carried Away" with Jewell Marceau - 105 Images
Jewell in slick shiny latex is just about enough to get you breathing hard. If you have never played in latex, you really should. It's like wearing a second skin. Jewell's movements are completely restricted by the tight ropes, she's penetrated, and then gagged. Jewell looks like candy all wrapped up and ready to eat.

"Begging For More" Whitney Fears - 36 Minutes Video
Whitney Fears was a good girl where she grew up in New York. A cheerleader, a straight "A" student, a virgin... went to college, graduated, then went off to get a job... So she moved to Los Angeles and started working in porn. This is the first time working in bdsm and I'm almost sure it won't be her last.
"Dark Fantasy" with Eden Wells
Eden is an exhibitionist. I've seen her dance naked at parties and neck with women in the corner just for the shock value of it. This is Eden being Eden, sexy, bold and beautiful accented in latex. Then restricted with with rope for the pure pleasure and the pain of it. Sensual, sexual and spiritual all at the same time for her. The addition of a gas mask makes her into this very cool kind of creature, all caught up in her ropes.

"And Then" with Annabelle Adams - 48 Minutes Video
Annabelle is a submissive little pain slut with a streak of brat that runs through her. That's not to say I don't appreciate bratty women, it's the rolling of the eyes that gives me a shiver. That's not the case with Annabelle thank god. I like to push Annabelle, see just how much she can take and take it she does. Hard spankings and caning her supple breasts, deny her orgasm after orgasm and watch her squirm, then allow her cum and listen to her scream. Annabelle reaches subspace quickly... She melts into the bondage, her will no longer being her own. I control that...
"Prove Oneself" with Smokie Flame
Smokie wants to be a bondage slut and we are here to help. Her slender form, tight ass, and real tits make her perfect to tie up. But in the better tradition of Fetish Nation I have her prove to me just how much she wants to be tied by being an exhibitionist slut. We all love a good show don't we.

"Learning to Walk" with Madison Young - 48 Minutes Video
Madison had been placed on loan to me from James Mogul. This was not the first time this has happened. Respect for ones toys is very important, you want them to last, never be broken, and always in good working order... perfect working order. Madison is in perfect working order and it just would not do to give her back any other way with the possible exception of a bruise or two, here and there. Normal wear and tear. This time I wanted to play D.S. games with Madison. I know she doesn't do well in high heels, Tess and I took her to a play party and found this out, so I thought that was a good place to start followed by orgasm control, spanking, caning, clamps, and bondage.
"Mina's Request" with Mina Meow
Now Mina has turned into quite the bondage girl. I watched her all week long at Fetish Con playing lesbian bondage games with Natalie Minx. Poor little things just couldn't get enough of each other even down by the pool at night they were all over each other. Work together, play together... In this tie Mina is all by herself, but there were hands just off camera ready to pounce.

"A Sad Good Bye"
And now for good bye. It is with a heavy heart that I say good bye to a good friend, a talented artist and a brother in arms, Liam Pierce or many knew him as Robert. Robert passed away last week suddenly. We are all saddened by his death and diminished by his passing. Robert was a true friend and I will miss him terribly.

"Hot Slut" with Dylan Ryan and Eden Wells - 36 Minutes Video
This week Eden Wells get another chance to tie up and fuck one of my favorite hot sluts Dylan Ryan. Plus, Kumi Monster is back with us in a double tie girl/girl bondage scene with her good friend submissive Darling. Two girl/girl bdsm scenes, it really doesn't get any better than this.
Right now I'm in Tampa Florida for the FetishCon convention and hopefully by tonight I'll be hanging out by the pool with a drink in hand having a great time. This year I'm giving a class on photography etiquette or how not to be the creepy photographer. Lets see how that goes, should be a lot of fun. Other than that I'll be drinking in moderation seeing just how much trouble I can get myself into and not get caught. Yes, quite right... I'm a bit of an adolescent.
"Shibari for Two" with Kumi Monster and Darling
Then we have a sexy double girl tie with Kumi and her girlfriend Darling. Kumi with a strap-on face dildo gets a super kinky blowjob and then Darling returns the favor with a little lesbian tongue action. Enjoy!
Until next week.

"CV888" with Charlotte Vale - 36 Minutes Video
08.08.2008 Is a lucky day.
We welcome newcomer Charlotte Vale to FetishNation.com this week with Eden Wells breaking in this curvaceous new slut. Eden showed up with strap-on in hand... Who am I to say no to a welcome like that. I actively encourage it. Then we have one of my favorite girls next door, Brandy Laine, latex clad in bondage and orgasming for all to enjoy.
Charlotte Vale started emailing me then calling. What was I to do... Then Eden found this out and said she would like to come fuck the new slut. Now I do like to encourage this type of behavior.If one hot woman wants to fuck another hot bound woman, then I say yes. If I get to video tape it, that's even better. What a dirty little slut Charlotte proves herself to be. The pleasure is all ours as she soon finds out, denied orgasms until the very last moment. Placed in restrictive restraint and spanked until her ass is bright red, clamps pulling her labia in opposite directions, and proving to her mistress what a excellent cock whore she could be with her mouth. Only after Charlotte proves her worth is she fucked in bondage on her knees like the good submissive slut she is.
"Open Wide" with Brandy Lane
Girl next door Brandy Laine fantasizes about being tied up, photographed and posted on the web. This was such a turn on for her it was a bit overwhelming. Bound with clamps pulling her pussy open wide, gagged, and a large vibrator pressing against her clit, it didn't take much to send her into rolling orgasms.
Until next week.
Peace, Ian Rath

"Confession" with January Seraph - 46 Minutes Video
January Seraph is back with us at Fetish Nation this week. This raven haired slut is at her best when she's bound and orgasming. Kendra James also graces us with her presence. I do love tying up pro doms. It's just so gratifying for some reason. I thinks it's just a control issue. Both of our ladies this week come to us from a background of control, January a stripper and Kendra a pro dom.
January was a stripper for five years and if there's one thing that strippers and pro doms have in common is control. In both professions you need it... As a stripper January was a professional tease. She had to talk the talk, but never walk the walk. As a submissive that all had to change, her power stripped away. She had to put out and shut up. Something January never had to do before. A learned behavior not one that comes naturally. She has to make a conscious effort to submit. You can see the wheels turn in her head.
"Submissive State of Mind" with Kendra James
Even though Kendra is pro doming now she likes to slip into a more submissive state of mind. Just the day before she was crushing some guys balls with a different pair of heals. Today gagged and exposed in restrictive rope bondage, giving into someone else's will. The ability to let go and relax comes in many different forms and I do think that today with all the stupidity going on in the world. Being able to have some fun and let go is the key. Whether it be watching girls orgasm in bondage, gardening, or even building ships in a bottle. If it brings you a little focus, entertainment and some peace in your life, do it. I personally have quit watching the news and feel much better for it.

"Promises" with Isobel Wren - 46 Minutes Video
I was thinking about Isobel Wren today... She really is the Kinky girl next door. You would never know by just looking at her just how kinky she is. For being such a perverted little thing, she likes to come across as being shy. She masturbates for us, her first orgasm by her own hand. My boots were getting an embarrassing amount of lipstick on them from having all the women who have passed through my doors kiss them. It was Isobel's job to clean and polish them. And for the extra shine masturbate on the toes. To thank her she was bound but denied any orgasms. Though Isobel offers to suck my cock If allow her just one more orgasm. It's not a fair trade, who knows what's been in that mouth. Bound with rope tightly on her back I give her the opportunity two suck two cocks while I work her wet pussy over with a vibrator. Isobel is allowed to cum and cum she does.
"Inverted Hogtie" with Crystal Rayne
As you know Crystal Rayne spends her nights working as a professional submissive. So coming here was a little like a business mans holiday for her. Crystal had never been hogtied let alone much bondage at all. At lease not like this anyway. Strict and tight rope bondage. Nothing else would do. This table tilts so the bondage needs to be tight. So really the tighter the bondage the more comfortable the ride or at least that's the theory. Crystal proves me right.

Yes I know I am a little late but I am hoping that some nice soul out there has a Joost invite that I can get. In return I will make any invitations I get available to others! I have recently tried getting one from this site and am anxiously waiting. http://www.brajeshwar.com/2007/joost/#comment-9671 If you have one you can spare you can invite me at sysguy at sysguy dot com
What is joost.com? Joost is a new way of watching TV across the internet. Joost is an IP TV service with 150 channels of programming that you can watch on your computer (or if you are geeky like me) hooking a PC up to your TV. In early May joost gave beta testers unlimited invites to invite others (like gmail did originally). I never looked for invites as I thought like many of these web based things that it was US only. I found out today that joost is available world wide (although there are some restrictions on some programming).
So please, please if you have a spare invitation can you please send it my way? Thanks

The Mary S. Biesecker Public Library in Somerset has received a $205,984 gift from the trust of a former assistant librarian.
Erma M. Halverson, a longtime library employee, bequeathed the funds from the LK & EM Halverson Trust. Halverson passed away Sept. 30, 2006.
Jim Courtney, library board president, said the board found out about the gift late last week.
"Erma M. Halverson was a longtime dedicated assistant librarian who knew first hand the need for the library's private gifts and assistance in order to meet its goal of high quality service," he said.
Halverson had lived in Somerset, but moved to Arizona to be with her sons.
Courtney explained that the government does not provide enough funding for the library to operate. The 2009 budget is $154,250, with $120,684 in state aid and local tax revenue.
The donation would allow the library to operate for more than a year without any additional funds, librarian Lee Ann Schrock said.

Vision 2014
October 13, 2013
Would you like to host a group in your home?
Pastor Ronnie has a goal to meet with every person, who calls Out of the Box Worship Center their church home, during the month of November and early December. The groups will consist of 10-12 people for an hour and a half. As the host you would agree to provide the meeting place and light refreshments.
Pastor Ronnie will share his visions and dreams for Out of the Box Worship Center as your Pastor, but, his vision includes your visions, hopes, and dreams as well.
God is doing a great work in and through the people of Out of the Box Worship Center and we believe, working together, we can reach the 27,000 people that we have been called to minister to in our community.
Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to discuss this further. Cathy Sizemore is organizing the groups and handling the sign ups. You can contact her at email@example.com with your group information, choose a date, time, etc.
The first group of 10-12 will meet on Sunday afternoon 11/3 at Pastor Ronnie & Misty's Home in Cana around the fire pit if weather allows. There are signup sheets in the lobby or contact Cathy Sizemore to join this group.
" They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Acts 2:42-47 NIV

Symptoms of Xanax Addiction
Xanax® (alprazolam) is a type of anxiolytic – an anti-anxiety drug.
The primary effect of drugs in this class is to lessen agitation. They are the used to treat panic attacks, anxiety and nervousness.
When sleep disturbances result from anxiety (sometimes called "racing thoughts") alprazolam may be prescribed for insomnia.
Learn More About Xanax Addiction, Withdrawal, and Treatment Options
Xanax addiction under a doctor's care
Because Xanax is not a "street drug" most people who become addicted to it start by taking it as a prescribed medication.
Patients who increase the amount they take beyond what their doctor tells them or take it on a regular basis for a long time are at the most risk. This can sometimes happen when the drug is prescribed "as needed" for anxiety or panic attacks. If the need becomes regular, patients should discuss options with their physician.
Other than increasing the dose without a doctor's advice, other symptoms are withdrawal or craving for the drug. If symptoms reliably return when Xanax is unavailable, dependence might be the cause. Users may say, "I can't sleep without it." Or, "If I don't take a pill, I get anxious." A determination must be made as to whether the symptoms are due to an anxiety disorder or whether they are the result of not having the drug.
Patients may meet resistance from their caregiver when they seek a higher dose or more frequent refills. One sign of addiction is doctor shopping – seeing multiple physicians to get multiple prescriptions for Xanax. Another is extreme anxiety when the drug isn't available or supplies are running low.
Xanax Addiction in other populations
Those who are able to obtain alprazolam outside of a legitimate medical purpose will show the general signs of Xanax addiction to any depressant medication. Excessive sleepiness, fatigue, and a loss of interest in normal activities are common. Problems at work may include nodding off or making mistakes because of a lack of focus.
Memory problems can occur at high or frequent doses and the inability to remember recent events while under the influence of Xanax might be a sign of overuse. Another key sign is mood and sleep cycle disturbances, ranging from depression to insomnia. This happens when the drug is unavailable for some reason or when abusers try to stretch out the supply on hand.

Case Analysis on Tesco
as part of an assignment in
Retail Marketing
Submitted By:
Santosh Das (B015)
Background Information:
Tesco, founded by Jack Cohen in 1919 is one of the largest retailers in the UK. It is credited to have revolutionized the super market culture in UK and had started with the "Pile it high, sells it cheap "concept. The case highlights the kind of transformation the company went through to emerge as the market leader . Understanding the pulse of the customer forms the base of the successful transformation. It also highlights the importance of having a clear strategy for a retail store that needs to be followed diligently. In this case the Steering wheel model ensures that due importance is given to all the important business functions and right matrices are designed to measure key performance indicators.
To survive in a competitive sector like retail it is important to constantly innovate and improve processes to stay ahead of the competition. Companies also need to be aware of the direction in which they are heading and the ensure that it is aligned to the needs of the local customer .This is one thing TESCO did successfully. When the management felt that there was a need for change it went to the market to understand the consumers better and came up with innovative processes like "The TESCO way" and obsession with increasing the value for customers. The innovation and hunger was driven by a clear understanding of the values and principles of TESCO. These are * BETTTER for customers : This ensured that all stakeholders were taken care of .The target was to build brand loyalty in the minds of the customers and also ensure other stakeholders like employees and investors remain satisfied * SIMPLER for staff: Simplicity ensured that there was less confusion and the staff understood their roles clearly. This led to a highly synchronous movement among the staff members which resulted in...

If a family member needs help with dementia care, or you suspect that they might have symptoms of dementia and need to understand differences between Alzheimer's dementia or other types of dementia symptoms, there are a number of services available to support you:
• Getting diagnosed: getting a proper diagnosis taking into account symptoms of dementia is vital and means getting the correct treatment and care plan for different types of dementia, commonly Alzheimer's dementia, Vascular dementia, Parkinson's dementia and mixed dementia. It also helps with making plans for the future and getting access to all of the available information and support.
The first step is getting a diagnosis from a GP who will usually refer people to a specialist memory service, like the Camden Community Memory Service. This is made up of dementia specialists, including psychiatric consultants, clinical psychologists and nurses. A visit from a specialist nurse or consultant in a patient's home (with a family member or carer) usually follows where they will be able to assess their thinking and memory.
If dementia is diagnosed the patient will be given information about the condition and about the range of local services that can help to meet their needs.
• Adult social care support: An assessment from the social workers team the level of help that you are eligible to receive from adult social care. During the assessment they will consider:
– The tasks that someone can manage by themselves
– Requests for respite care for dementia patients through identifying the support network that surrounds a person: family, friends, neighbours and community based support
• Privately arranged support services: if someone is deemed ineligible for support or they choose to arrange their own help, some of the options include:
– Arranging help through friends, relatives and neighbours
– Employing a care worker privately through a home care agency to achieve respite for unpaid carers
– Employing someone directly, such as a personal assistant
– Charity providers such as Age UK and the Alzheimer's Society can offer additional advice and support about some of these options, including getting dementia respite care

Cello & Double Bass
Cello and Double Bass and the Alexander Technique
Being most effective with all stringed instruments; especially Cello and Double Bass:
When youngsters first start the journey to playing a musical instrument, knowing the pitfalls is never possible. Yet, most fall prey to some form of habitual response to their playing. Over time the blueprint becomes entrenched and pain becomes the familiar.
Frank Pierce Jones, noted Alexander teacher said: "A double-bass player, in order to get the force and control he wanted for finishing the down stroke of his bow, habitually built up so much misdirected tension in his arm that he could not start the upstroke smoothly. Furthermore, he built up a corresponding over-tension in other parts of his body—back, neck, and legs. Since he concentrated his attention upon his arms and hands, he was unaware of what was happening elsewhere until it showed up in the form of pain and fatigue"
To get optimal ease, place your two feet flat on the ground, your back maintains an upright angle to the seat, shoulders and arms are free and moving easily while your hips are relaxed on the chair.
Your prime focus needs to be the way your are poised, your arms are light and free, head, neck and shoulders are disengaged (in neutral); and then, to the positioning of you instrument against the chest in such a way that your arms are not dragging your shoulders forward. Moving freely and easily prevents tension and stiffening.

Living in France where a favorite pass-time of the French was to gamble, Pascal plays with the idea of statistical gain and risks in his famous wager argument. Appealing to gamblers, Pascal shows how disbelief in God may risk more than any person would want to lose, the possibility for eternal happiness. This argument is not meant to justify belief in God but to show that belief in God is at least reasonable, and may be one of the most reasonable decisions a person will ever make. The point of this argument is to ready the heart for true faith. In other words, Pascal is taking up the banner of John the Baptist in hopes that a person may be prepared for humbling receiving grace. He does not believe that his argument in any way can provide that faith.
Reason alone, as great as it may seem, has limits and lacks the ability to judge definitively whether God exists or not. This is not to say that belief in God is not reasonable nor that an argument cannot be philosophically derived, but God is not merely an idea of the intellect. Any judgment would insinuate a conclusion that goes beyond the evidence available to the mind. Such a fact, regarding the existence of God as an objective and evident judgment, lies beyond and prior to the mind. Ultimately reason may aide the person in finding God, but the heart must first seek Him. Thus, we can neither affirm nor deny the existence of God based on reason alone. However, Pascal insists that every person must wager whether "God is, or He is not" (233). Since reason cannot speak and must remain neutral, the wager becomes a question of happiness rather than knowledge. Accordingly, Pascal sets the stakes on the fact that God is. "If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing" (233). Considering the possibility of the existence of God completely as a gamble and ignorant to the case in reality, there exist an equal chance of whether or not God exist, heads or tails. Betting that God exist when he does in fact exist, a person would hypothetically gain eternal happiness. If God does not exist that person has lost nothing. Following the nature of the gamble, the only way a person gains anything is if God does in fact exist. If God does not exist then a person neither gains nor loses in any of the scenarios. Therefore a person can reasonable gamble that God exists if they are remotely interested in the possibility of gaining eternal happiness. Since a person must gamble, belief becomes the most reasonable bet. The person sacrifices a finite chance in which nothing is gained for an infinite chance in which everything is to be gained.
Pascal realizes that belief from such a wager hardly seems like faith at all. In fact, he indicates that belief from a gamble is not true faith; but the wager only purposes to open a person up to the possibility of receiving faith. When struggling with faith, Pascal recommends that such a person live as if they did believe and follow the paths of those who have had similar struggles with atheism in finding their way to faith. By living as a believer a person is more inclined to believe and opens himself up to the supernatural grace of faith. Eventually, such a life may reveal the nothingness this life has to offer in comparison to the infinite happiness to be found in God.Belief that God exist is not equal to faith in God. Where the mind may think of God, the heart experiences Him. Pascal says, "Knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him" (280). Both reason and the heart represent reality and know truth; only each tells us something different. Pascal says that the heart knows first principles such as "space, time, motion, [and] number" (282), and reason would be absurd to demand reasons for these intuitions of the heart. A person can only wait patiently for grace of faith when realizing the insufficiency of reason.
Next week will be the final post on this series of Blaise Pascal and his insight into faith. I will discuss the paradoxical nature of man's greatness and wretchedness, the purpose of religion, and the primacy of humility.

Is there anything more majestic than a great big horse? Yes, and that thing is Jennifer Lawrence. Put the two together, Jennifer Lawrence on a horse, and you have pure enchantment.
In an exclusive clip from "Serena," Lawrence's on-screen reunion with "Silver Linings Playbook" star Bradley Cooper, we have just that type of dazzling majesty on display. Cooper's character, George Pemberton, has not yet met Serena (Lawrence), and is totally enthralled watching her ride around on the horse, while Agatha (Charity Wakefield) gives him the scoop on Serena's sordid past.
Soon, you'll be able to see what all the fuss about Serena (the character and the movie named after her) is as well: the film hits VOD and digital download on February 26, and select theaters March 27.
Just in case you can't get enough of that JLaw-on-a-horse action, we've taken the liberty of making little bite-size versions of it. You're welcome.

Sunday the 13th of June saw our first appearance at the beach market opposite the remains of Brighton's West Pier. We were blessed with the weather as the sun was out almost continuously and the sea breeze was fairly calm. Being totally at the mercy of the elements would make this a difficult place to set up stall should the weather turn nasty.
We really enjoyed the setting and meeting the folk of Brighton. This is a market that we would love to visit again, perhaps for the whole weekend. We will keep you posted in case we take a weekend off from Greenwich to join the West Pier Market.
An interesting sideshow for last Sunday was a convoy of naked cyclists working their way along the front, the previous day they had cycled through London. The main aim of this naked bike ride was to promote the use of pedal power in place of internal combustion engines. I am sure their campaign was a great success as they would have received a great deal of press coverage (not to mention the undivided attention of passers-by).

In May of 2014, the film "Hungry Heart" was presented in Waldo County Maine. The docudrama, sponsored by Seaport Community Health Center, highlighted a country doctor, in St. Albans, Vermont. The film centered on the doctor and his compassionate treatment of his many opiate addicted patients with the medication, buprenorphine. The viewers were made aware of the extent of addiction and the scarcity of support, as well as barriers to accessible treatment. A community forum and panel discussion followed the film.
Several weeks later, interested community members met to discuss the problem of untreated drug and alcohol addiction in Waldo County. In these meetings, held by the Waldo County Anti-Drug Coalition, personal stories were shared and those who listened were moved to take an active role to address the issue at its grassroots.
As this conversation grew, it was clear that in addition to the coalition's effort on prevention and education of drug and alcohol addiction, a new group was needed to focus on the stigma of untreated drug and alcohol addiction along with an increase in recovery and treatment resources which the community clearly lacked. Soon after, through a collaborative, inclusive, process WeCARE was created.
The WeCARE acronym; Waldo Encourages Community Assisted Recovery Efforts and the mission statement, to build a collaborative, non-judgmental, environment to support addiction recovery through education, advocacy, and compassionate community action was created through a group effort.
During recovery month of 2014, WeCARE launched a community awareness campaign. First, "Anonymous People" was presented. The film, a counterpoint to "Hungry Heart", honors the twenty-three million Americans in long-term recovery. Next, the first annual Race/Walk to Honor the Victims of Untreated Drug and Alcohol Addiction, their Families, and Friends was held. Then, without pause the WeCARE logo contest was promoted and a winner chosen. The winner's logo is now on permanent display in the Belfast Police Station lobby. Finally, a "Break the Stigma" rock concert to celebrate "recovery made visible" was offered at the annual New Years By The Bay inside the police station.
Now, not quite a year later, several of the initial task force attendees formed the WeCARE Board of Directors. At the monthly community group meetings there are people from the twelve step tradition and those in medication-assisted recovery, members of Alanon, and men from the local correctional re-entry center as well as clergy, social workers and educators who support the WeCARE movement, and finally an unlikely ally, a police officer, who humbly admits the "war on drugs" has been lost.
If you know someone affected with untreated or under treated drug or alcohol addiction or you have your own struggle, or you simply want to help, WeCARE is one way to get involved and to show you care.
