The Roar
The Roar

It's time to fix our sporting culture and give the referees some love

Dealing with referees: how not to do it. (Photo by Mark Nolan/Getty Images)
3rd August, 2018

How truly pathetic must someone be to threaten the life of another person because of a refereeing decision?

There is no justification for such a spineless act. None at all. Yet it happens.

On Thursday night, the Sydney Morning Herald’s Andrew Webster revealed Matt Cecchin is retiring from the NRL at the end of the year. The causes? Death threats so serious the police got involved in New Zealand and Australia, and the endless criticism of referees in 2018.

It’s plain sad that the finest whistleblower in the NRL has been forced from the competition. And it’s an indictment on rugby league as a whole.

It was only on Monday that there were two columns on this very website coming out in support of our referees, one penned by Ryan O’Connell, the other by Mary Konstantopoulos. But the news around Cecchin has brought the issue back into focus – not that talking about referees has ever really been out of vogue this year.

Twitter has always been awash with criticism of the decisions made on the field, but this season has seen that whinging and moaning spread about by some of the game’s highest-profile commentators as well. What was once the domain of the disgruntled fan for an hour or two after a game became bread and butter stuff for Friday night monologues and Monday morning columns.

It’s hardly a great shock, then, that a high-profile referee has decided to call it quits.

What we shouldn’t do, though, is mistake this for an issue caused solely by a few well-known media antagonists; our problem with referees extends far beyond the realms of professional sport.

Head down to your local ground this weekend and you’ll find a handful of uniformed men and women (and boys and girls), whistle in hand. They might be volunteers, they might not be – either way, they certainly won’t be getting paid much, yet they’re as important to their sport of choice as anyone else there.

I guarantee you the vast majority of those referees have been subjected to some vile abuse for a decision they’ve made at one time or another, whether by a player standing on the field, a coach sitting on the bench, or a parent standing on the sideline. Those who haven’t been on the receiving end of such rubbish yet probably will be in the future.

It’s a situation I’m familiar with. Instead of flipping burgers at Maccas, I ran around as a football referee to earn some extra pocket change while I was at high school.

Refereeing is a thankless gig. The stress that comes with making critical decisions is one thing, but the seemingly endless stream of dissent and accompanying insults is far worse. God knows what it’s like at a professional level. Unenviable, I would think.

Not every parent, player and coach is like that, of course. Plenty aren’t. But there are enough around who think having a crack at the ref is fair game – and many more who let such behaviour slide without any objection.

With that kind of culture at our local grounds, is it any surprise that there are people out there who think it’s fine to send sickening abuse the way of professional referees? And, to look at the flipside of that coin, why wouldn’t those on the sidelines every weekend think it’s okay to endlessly criticise the ref when that’s what some high-profile commentators and coaches do?

This isn’t to say you should never, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, complain about refereeing decisions. Sport is a passionate business and sometimes that emotion is going to be directed at the game’s adjudicators.

Nor must referees to be free from critique and consequence. Just like anyone else in professional sport, we should expect the best from them.

Currently, though, there’s one set of standards for professional referees and another for players.

We’ll forgive players for a knock-on, let the odd penalty slide, and look past a missed tackle or two. But god help the poor referee who backs him or herself and makes a tough decision, or misses a forward pass, or calls a strip that wasn’t, or, well, does just about anything that isn’t absolutely perfect.

Hell, in Cecchin’s case, getting the decision right didn’t matter to the pea-brained idiots who decided to threaten his life.

It’s been said ad nauseam, but I’ll add one more voice to the chorus: much as we’d like them to be blessed with unerring, robotic accuracy (and most of them are pretty damn good anyway) referees are human.

They deserve to be treated as such, to be forgiven for the errors they will make here and there, whether that’s in the last second of a World Cup semi-final or on a patchy old paddock on a Saturday arvo.

So, when your team loses next, don’t blame the referees because your mob wasn’t good enough to get the job done. They probably made more mistakes than the men in the middle anyway.

And when you go down to watch your kid play this morning, or lace the boots up yourself this weekend, cut the refs some slack. Say thanks. Shake their hands, stop to have a chat with them. Your sport will be better for it.

Sharp-Shinned Hawk

Adult sharp-shinned hawk perched after bath
Johann Schumacher

One of the most common backyard hawks, the sharp-shinned hawk is an agile predator that feeds on small birds such as finches and sparrows.

Common Name

Sharp-Shinned Hawk, Sharpie

Scientific Name

Accipiter striatus

  • Bill: Short and curved with a small yellow cere
  • Size: 9-13 inches long with 23-inch wingspan, very thin legs
  • Colors: Light and dark gray, blue-gray, white, rusty red, brown
  • Markings: Genders are similar. Head and back are medium to dark gray, white breast is thickly streaked with rusty red or brown streaks, long squared-off tail has darker gray horizontal strips and a thin white stripe on the tip. Adults have red eyes while juvenile birds have yellow eyes with a faint white streak along the eyebrow.

Small birds, small mammals

Habitat and Migration

Sharp-shinned hawks are common in woodland areas and open lowlands throughout the United States, southern and western Canada, Mexico and Central America. Northern bird populations will migrate to the South, but sharp-shinned hawks in the western mountains of Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, southern Idaho, northern California, Washington and Oregon may be present year-round.

Hawks rely partially on stealth to capture their prey and sounds are rare. Sharp-shinned hawks will call a harsh “kee-kee-kee” or “kik-kik-kik” alarm when a nest is threatened.

Like all birds of prey, sharp-shinned hawks will soar over their territory to locate prey. They are likely to feed on the ground after capturing a bird, mouse or other small mammal and may remain on the ground for several minutes after feeding. They will perch in areas with good visibility to locate feeding grounds, and often make short, close flights over bushes or dense brush to startle small birds into flight to be easier to catch.

The sharp-shinned hawk’s long tail and rounded wings give them excellent maneuverability through dense brush and trees in pursuit of prey.

Female sharp-shinned hawks build a platform nest and raise one brood of three to five altricial young per year. Eggs must be incubated for 30-35 days and fledgling birds remain in the nest for another 25-27 days. Both male and female birds will feed and rear the nestlings.

Juvenile sharp-shinned hawks can be identified by their yellow eyes, more brownish color rather than red on the breast and their inexperience while hunting.

Attracting Sharp-Shinned Hawks

Because sharp-shinned hawks feed on smaller birds, they are attracted to backyards where sparrows, doves and other small birds feed. If feeding areas are visible from the air, hawks are more likely to be frequent visitors. Many backyard birders prefer to take steps to protect backyard birds from hawks rather than allow them to feed easily.

10 facts about royal births

Have your say

Here are 10 facts about royal births.

1. A team of 23 medical staff was on hand for the birth of Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the private Lindo Wing.

A handful of midwives and others led by a consultant obstetrician were in the delivery room, but obstetricians, gynaecologists, surgeons, haematologists and theatre staff were also waiting in the wings in case of an emergency.

Third time mums like Kate need to be watchful

2. After William was born in 1982, the Prince of Wales wrote how he was "so thankful I was beside Diana's bedside the whole time".

"I really felt as though I'd shared deeply in the process of birth," he added.

All you need to know about the royal baby

3. Diana was induced because she could not bear the pressure from the media any longer - and claimed doctors had to find a date that suited Charles and his polo fixtures.

4. The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, was given an anaesthetic to help with the pain while in labour with first child Charles in 1948.

5. A restless Duke of Edinburgh occupied himself by playing squash while awaiting the arrival of his firstborn.

6. The Queen had all her four children - Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward - at home at Buckingham Palace and Clarence House.

7. Princess Elizabeth was born at home by Caesarean section in her grandparents' house in Mayfair, London.

She was breech and it was a difficult birth for her mother the Duchess of York.

Will it be a boy or a girl?
8. It used to be the custom that government ministers and other witnesses were present at royal births to ensure no substitute child had been smuggled in in a warming pan or similar receptacle.

9. But Queen Victoria put her foot down when her great-grandchild, the future Edward VIII, was born in 1894 and declared that just one Cabinet minister would be needed, with only the home secretary attending from then on.

10. The birth of the Queen's cousin Princess Alexandra on Christmas Day in 1936 was the last occasion that a home secretary was present, meaning the Duchess of Cambridge has been spared such an intrusion.

Prince Charles's birth was the first time in centuries that there was not a government minister there to witness the arrival of a future heir to the throne.

Where are the Arctic Monkeys?

Arctic Monkeys won't be playing at Leeds Festival this year
Arctic Monkeys won't be playing at Leeds Festival this year
Have your say

Music fans have been airing their disappointment that the Arctic Monkeys are not on the bill for Leeds Festival

Rapper Kendrick Lamar has been confirmed as one of the four headliners along with rock bands Fall Out Boy, Kings of Leon and Panic! at the Disco.

However, the absence of a number of bands has been met with derision from some and the line-up has also been dubbed "incredibly underwhelming".

One music fan wrote on Twitter: "Don't know what to say about the Reading and Leeds line-up. Where's Green Day, Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters?

"So glad I didn't buy my ticket early, pains me to say it but I might not bother this year. #RnL2018."

Another fan said that they were "raging" about the absence of Arctic Monkeys - who are making their comeback this year - from the line-up, while another tweeted the Reading and Leeds Twitter account and quipped that they had "misspelled" the Sheffield rock band's name.

Along with a gif of John Travolta's character in Pulp Fiction searching a room, one user wrote: "Looking for Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters in the Reading and Leeds fest line up like."

"In a year packed with some great line-ups, something has gone awfully wrong at Reading and Leeds HQ. A cancellation maybe?" another asked.

The band is not playing at Sheffield's tenth anniversary Tramlines festival either, due to take place on July 20-22.

The Star understands the band were asked to play but declined. The reason is unknown. Festival co-organiser Alex kept tight-lipped on rumours they'd been asked but added: "I cannot confirm or deny if we asked them because it's not my place to say but it's no secret we'd love them to play at Tramlines."

Other confirmed acts for Reading and Leeds, which takes place over the August bank holiday weekend, include Dua Lipa, Skepta, Sum 41, Sigrid, The Wombats and Wolf Alice.

Ontario midwives won a “historic” victory in a groundbreaking pay equity case Monday, after a tribunal ruled the government’s failure to proactively monitor midwives’ compensation and regularly negotiate with them over it constitutes discrimination.

The case filed at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario five years ago sought redress, including retroactive pay, for gender-based pay discrimination dating back to 1994, shortly after midwifery became a formally regulated part of Ontario’s public health system.

Lawyers for the Association of Ontario Midwives (AOM) argued that the profession has been chronically undervalued due to a unique “gendered trifecta” in a field that is primarily staffed by women, is concerned with providing care to women, and deals with a health care issue associated with women.

Midwives from 113 countries kick off convention with march through Toronto

In Monday’s ruling, tribunal chair Leslie Reaume called that description “very apt,” and ruled that there was sufficient evidence to prove gender-based discrimination between 2005 and 2013, but not earlier.

Although the AOM’s application sought a remedy dating back to 1994, policy and communications director Juana Berinstein said the decision felt like a “completely historic win.”

“It feels like a victory for midwives, for women, for equity-seeking groups. It feels like an incredible decision that really talks about systemic discrimination,” she said.

The tribunal has not yet set out any remedies but has directed the parties to negotiate a resolution over remedial pay, damages, and how compensation will be set going forward.

In 1993, the Ontario government used a pay equity analysis to set midwives’ rate of pay at 65 per cent of a community health care physician’s salary. The tribunal ruled that 2005 was the last time the government applied a gender equity lens to midwives’ pay increases.

Article Continued Below

In 2010, a report commissioned by the AOM and the Liberal government of the time found that midwives should get a 20 per cent compensation bump. The report also warned that “intermittent” or delayed negotiations with midwives were hurting their compensation.

The recommended pay increase was never implemented. Instead the government “unilaterally determined that (community health care) physicians were not appropriate comparators for midwives,” according to Monday’s tribunal decision, thereby abandoning a long-established means of determining fair compensation for midwives.

“This perpetuates the historic disadvantage midwives have experienced as sex-segregated workers. It also undermines the dignity of midwives who now find themselves having to explain why they should be compared to physicians for compensation purposes more than 20 years after this principle was established,” the decision reads.

The implication is that government must regularly take proactive steps to monitor compensation for the impact of gender discrimination on the fairness of pay.

In its application, the AOM said while “male-dominated” community health care physicians’ salaries had increased by 76 per cent since 1993, midwives’ pay increased by only 33 per cent.

“My finding ... is that there is sufficient evidence to find that sex was, more likely than not, one of the factors that explains the difference in compensation levels between midwives and CHC physicians,” Reaume’s decision reads.

“While it’s not just about pay, pay is a concrete example of how we are valued in the system,” said AOM president Elizabeth Brandeis. “So it’s hard not to internalize that in terms of midwives seeing their own worth in relation to their medical colleagues and vice versa.”

In its response to the tribunal application, the Ministry of Health argued the case was about “occupational status, not sex.”

Its factum said the pay gap was based not on sex but on “important differences” between the work of community health care physicians and midwives, including the length and cost of physicians’ training and their “broader scope of practice.”

Reaume’s decision notes that midwives’ practice in Ontario has “been expanded to take advantage of their remarkable skill set and to respond to changing health care priorities, underserviced communities and vulnerable patient populations.”

“What makes the position of the (Ministry of Health) even more difficult to accept is that it promotes family physicians and midwives as comparable obstetrical providers, equally competent to care for women with normal pregnancies,” the decision reads.

The AOM has about 1,000 members in the province. Midwifery is a four-year bachelor of health sciences degree and students are trained in reproductive science, physiology and women’s health. Last year, Ontario midwives supported 24,066 births, or 16 per cent of all births in the province.

Katrina Kilroy, president of the Canadian Association of Midwives, said she simply wants the health care system to treat her profession with respect.

“Nobody does the equivalent job of a midwife. We’re on call 24-7. We sometimes work 24 hours straight. We’re with someone on the most painful day of their lives,” she said. “It’s a matter of life and death.”

How The Pink Moon Influences Each Zodiac Sign's Flirting Game (His & Hers)

The Pink Moon tends to occur in April and this year, made its appearance on April 29th. Don’t be misled by the name, however, as the Pink Moon is not actually ‘pink’ in color, but is named so because of a moss pink herb that grows rapidly during this time of the year.

This particular full moon in the year is considered significant, because it coincides with the onset of spring, and thus initiates a change.

In the astrological world, the Pink Full moon holds a lot of importance. Since it marks new beginnings, the Pink Moon is also said to reset the zodiac balance and impact each zodiac sign individually. Depending on its relative position, it might impact a particular sign positively or negatively.

Although it has been a few weeks since the Pink Moon, it is only now that you will start feeling its complete influence. We have put together a list of possible things it can result in, especially in your love life, based on your zodiac sign.

24 Aries Man: Lucky In Love

Image result for love relationships gif

An Aries is not afraid to be adventurous and bold. They love grand gestures. even if they barely know the object of their love, they don't have the patience to wait for the other person to make the first move.

It’s time to make a bold move when it comes to the matters of the heart, Aries men!

While it is not in your nature to hold back, you do think a lot about love. Leave the doubt and dilemmas behind, and take a risk. If you’ve been meaning to ask someone out – this is your chance! Approaching someone you like and taking a risk is likely to pay off now more than ever. Aries men are in for some good luck as the Pink Moon substantially increases their chances of finding the perfect match. If you have been waiting for the right time to approach someone, now is the perfect time to do so!

Guys, it is 2018 already! Playing it coy isn’t in anymore. You need to be strong, confident and assertive in order to be attractive. There is no need to go through the ‘will she-won’t she’ ritual. The only way to know if someone you like reciprocates your feelings is declaring what you feel! The influence of the Pink Moon might just up your game a little, and help you in finding the love of your life.

23 Aries Woman: Making Meaningful Relationships

Image result for love relationships gif

Aries Women are entering a phase of immense prosperity and satisfaction in the matters of relationships. Interestingly, the Pink Moon might help strengthen all your relationships, personal, and professional. Gear up for making some new friends, deepening existing friendships, establishing beneficial networks at your work and coming closer to your partner.

The Aries woman is insatiable when it comes to love. She is a caring and intense lover. You should be thankful and appreciative for the love and support your family and friends provide you with, and make sure to express your gratitude for the same. Do not take friendships and relationships for granted, for that could result in problems.

You need to brace yourself for some temporary challenges with those closest to you, but worry not, your relationship will become stronger than ever. Along with the challenges, you will also have plenty of chances to revel in the company of those you like and simply enjoy the smaller pleasures of life.

The Pink Moon seems to have a really favorable impact on your life and how you connect with those around you. Make sure you make the most of this exciting time before the charm runs out, and accept all the goodness that comes your way with a smile!

22 Taurus Man: Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Taureans are known for being strong. They have the endurance to go on for however long it takes for them to complete a task. They are a bit selfish with their love and won't just give it out freely. A Taurean's love has to be earned. While you might be known for being stubborn and rigid, the Pink Moon is giving you a chance to consider other options. You have a ‘type’ when it comes to dating, and you always play it safe. Not anymore!

If you listen to your heart and make a gamble, you will be rewarded! The Pink Moon is allowing you to ditch the safe and secure routine for someone who thrills you beyond your imagination. All you have to do is step beyond your comfort zone and be open to possibilities.

If you have been itching to ask someone out, but have already found a hundred reasons in your head as to why it won’t work out: break the cycle!

Do something unexpected, and surprise yourself and you’d be amazed to find how things have a way of working themselves out. But you have to take the first step.

Listen up, all Taurus men: It is okay, even necessary, to date different kind of people, in order to understand yourself. Don’t be afraid to take a chance, for this time around, the Pink Moon is on your side.

21 Taurus Woman: Don’t Jump The Gun

Image result for love relationships gif

It is time to exercise caution, Taurus women. If you have been considering making a life-altering decision recently, you should hold on just a little bit longer. Things in your life are not comforting at the moment, and you have been yearning for a change. However, if this chance is untimely or hasty, you might be better off without it.

In the matters of the heart as well, you have been wanting to take it to the next level for some time. But the Pink Moon, unfortunately, isn’t in your support. Refrain from taking decisions in the heat of the moment or picking up fights with your loved ones, they might have a lasting domino effect. Put extra effort in showing your friends and family just how much you cherish them and don’t hold back your appreciation for them.

Taureans feel strongly but their feelings are buried down deep. It’s natural to go after the things you want, but the timing is also of crucial importance. Be patient, and try to lay low for some time, and good things are bound to follow! Just be a little cautious and exercise restraint, and you will have nothing to worry about.

20 Gemini Man: In Need Of An Emotional Check

Image result for love relationships gif

Geminis are famous for being versatile and sociable. They rely on what goes on in their head rather than what they feel. When in love, the head and the heart all gets mixed up and they themselves have no idea what to expect. Well! Gemini men, prepare yourself for some emotionally turbulent times.

Keeping your feelings inside might be your second nature, but the time has come to let them all out.

The Pink Moon is likely to throw your carefully crafted reaction into a tizzy and force you to feel what you are actually going through. This might be a new territory for you, but do not be afraid of it. Feeling emotions like anger, disappointment and frustration is natural and the longer you’ve been brushing them under the carpet – the more intense they are likely to be. It is not healthy to keep feelings and emotions bottled up, and hence, it was only a matter of time before they came to the surface. Refrain from getting into heated arguments, for you might say something you will regret later.

The Pink Moon is going to put you through a grueling emotional workout, and honestly, this has been pending for some time. In the short term, you are likely to be off your A-game, but in the long term, you will benefit a lot. You will come out of this phase as a strong and rejuvenated man, ready to take on the world.

19 Gemini Woman: Falling Head Over Heels

The Gemini women love surprises and the excitement, but love tends to keep them off-balance. The Pink Moon has had a great impact on your life, and particularly, your love life. So much so, that you might just meet the love of your life soon. The chances of encountering your perfect match through an acquaintance are very high.

There is a strong possibility of you connecting with someone who changes your life completely. When you least expect it, you are likely to be swept off of your feet. Word of advice: don’t resist. If you feel yourself falling madly in love, don’t hold back – it’s meant to be! If you already are in a relationship, don’t worry, several pleasant surprises are coming your way. It’s safe to say, your love life is entering an exciting and rewarding phase, thanks to the Pink Moon. Just be open to possibilities and do not write off people soon!

You are not only more likely to meet someone perfect for you, but also are set to be successful in your professional life, come closer to your friends and bond with your family. Way to go! Cash in your chips, for the Pink Moon, is showering a lot of good luck in your life.

18 Cancer Man: Trust Issues Aplenty

Image result for love relationships gif

To say that things are about get difficult for you would be an understatement. The Pink Moon is playing with deep trust issues, and your recent experience has left you more vulnerable than usual.

In the recent past, someone hasn’t been able to keep your trust, and it is natural to be on the edge. Trusting a loved one after a betrayal is never easy, and creates challenges. However, communication (something that is not your forte) is very important.

You need to make an extra effort in vocalizing your feelings and engaging with your partners.

Things might be hitting a rough patch, but you can navigate through it with some peace and effort. Try not to let recent challenges get to you, and do not forget the bigger picture. If find yourself overthinking, take some time off of your normal routine, and give your mind a break.

Hang in there, Cancer men. You need to slow down and understand the source of the problem. Once you have identified the same, work towards fixing it. The Pink Moon has flared up your trust issues, but you need to be able to keep your faith that good things are coming your way.

17 Cancer Woman: Focus Is On The Family

Image result for love relationships gif

Cancerians have a deep love for home. Friends and family are treasured by them. They are guided by their emotions. While you are naturally close to your family, this month, you will come even closer to them. Your family members are likely to play a very important role in your life this month, providing you support in multiple ways, and especially when you need it the most.

You can expect to spend a lot of time with those closest to you, and connect with them all over again. A family gathering is a strong possibility, and news about a wedding or engagement in the extended might be on the way. Make sure you display your deep affection and gratitude towards those you value. While everybody in your family knows how much you cherish them, you still need to find ways to express it on special occasions. Remember, it’s the small gestures that count!

The Pink Moon is giving you an opportunity to forge closer relations with your family. Don’t hold back, confine them in, and be thankful. Once the cycle of the moon ends, you will be able to see clearly how your relationship with your kin has improved, and just how blessed you are to have them in your life.

16 Leo Man: Prepare For Love And Heartbreak

Image result for relationship heartbreak gif

Leo loves having the spotlight on them. But when they're in love, they become obsessed with the person they love. The chances of a Leo man entering a new relationship in the near future are extremely high right now. But, there’s a catch: there is also a good chance that this won’t be a long-term relationship. (Ouch!)

The new relationship is likely to be intense and deeply important for you and your prospective partner.

However, the Pink Moon has created certain circumstances which diminish the possibility of making this into something permanent. So get ready to dive deep into falling in love, and then not having it work out. Doesn’t sound good, but, if it is any consolation, you will come out stronger and wiser.

There is, however, a slim probability of reuniting with your partner after a gap, but nothing is clear as of yet. There is a lot of uncertainty when it comes to your love life at the moment.

The Pink Moon is reminding you to focus on yourself, take care of your needs and tend to your health. While you were already on the right track, to begin with, the Pink Moon will definitely give a big boost to your efforts.

Take a step back and enjoy how far you have come. Take out some time to catch up with family and friends (they are feeling neglected) and just take it easy for some time. Recently, you’ve really had to step up at home or at your workplace and that has you really stressed out.

Now might not be the best time to get into a new relationship, but if you are already in one, this is a great chance to deepen it. You know that you have been not making an effort for your partner recently, and it is time to fix that. The Pink Moon is offering you a chance to fix and straighten out the kinks in your life.

Worry not; this is just a cosmic intervention to help bring you back on your path. From here on, things start falling to place without much effort. Do not get into new relationships right now, because this time is meant to be spent with your own self.

Embrace who you are, and spend some time with your own self.

Get to know yourself all over again and revisit old friends. Be reminded of everything you did, and the things you have accomplished. In a rare instance, the Pink Moon is supporting these changes and giving you a real shot at turning things around. Sagittarius men are enthusiastic and upbeat. They're always full f passion so when they are in love, an explosion of passion can be expected.

If you are feeling that you have been missing out on a lot of things lately, it’s because you have been. Fret not; for the Pink Moon has the perfect remedy!

The time to find love couldn’t be riper. Do not be afraid of giving into your romantic feelings and start trusting what your gut says. You’ve been a bit of a loner lately, and it is high time you break the cycle. Remember, your past experience only shape your thoughts and perspective. They do not influence the kind of people you will meet and like.

So, step out – go on a date, or plan a trip with your friends. Leo women are happiest when they're pleasing the object of their love. The connections you make now will be exceptionally nourishing and will have a positive impact on your life. The chances of finding a stable and supportive partner are very high – but only if you step out of the bubble you have been living in.

Let your hair down just a little, and learn to take things in a lighter vein. The Pink Moon is giving you a chance to shed your skin and reinvent yourself, but the real question is, do you even want to take it?

6 Capricorn Man: Your Time Has Arrived

Your day is finally here! All the Capricorn men out there venture out and seize the day, for the Pink Moon is by your side. No matter what you do, tasting success in love life is a very strong possibility right now.

Capricorns can be rigid and too responsible. After a period of many struggles, you are finally ready to focus on the most important thing: You. If you want to make a move on someone you’ve been attracted to, meet up with new people, or even try something out with your best friend – go for it!

No matter which path you choose, your love life is expected to be solid, stable and extremely fulfilling.

You should be able to find a partner who can provide exactly what you are looking for. You are used to being secretive, but with your new partner, you won’t feel the need. The odds have never been so favorable to you, all thanks to the Pink Moon.

The Pink Moon rarely has such a generous impact on love lives, so you better waste this chance. Capricorn men put on your best suit, and step out – you are likely to meet someone special just around the corner.

5 Capricorn Woman: No Time For Love

Related image

You have a lot of things going on for you, Capricorn women, but unfortunately, love isn’t one of them. Things have shaken up recently, and you are still struggling to firmly place your feet in the ground.

The Pink Moon has taken cognizance of this fact and is not unnecessarily evoking any drama in your love life. If you are in a relationship, expect things to remain smooth and calm. However, the chances of connecting with some new are low; lower still for finding someone with long-term prospects. Focus on friends and family; do not push yourself to meet new people if you don’t feel like. When the time is right, you won’t have to go looking too far.

On the bright side, however, you are likely to climb the ranks at your workplace, be in the peak of health, and might even receive an accolade very soon. Finding love is not a priority or a possibility right now, because you simply don’t have any time left. You are too busy to focus on your career and work and might consider approaching people once you feel like you have progressed adequately.

When Capricorns fall in love, they feel that every aspect of the relationship are on them and they go all out trying to make it work. They love with the intent that it will last forever and they will do everything in their power to make it so. Some partners may find that a bit too overwhelming.

4 Aquarius Man: Accept The Inevitable

Aquarius men have a big heart. When in love, they devote all their attention and time to their partner. Their selflessness makes them wonderful lovers.

If you are tired of hanging onto someone just for the sake of it, the Pink Moon gives you a chance to let go of the baggage.

You have got to start putting your needs ahead of others, and this time around, you might be able to do just that.

You need to learn and understand that people are the way they are for a reason, and despite what you think is better, everyone makes their own decisions. Getting into a new relationship is not advisable right now, but ending a relationship that has become very challenging is a strong possibility.

Seek support from friends and family and you’d be surprised just how far they are willing to go to ensure your well-being. Do not force yourself to be ‘out there’ and ‘available’ on the insistence of friends and family. Remember being able to enjoy your own company is more empowering than being with someone who makes you miserable.

The Pink Moon is giving you a chance to start fresh, and depending on where you are in life right now, you might want to take up on it.

3 Aquarius Woman: Self-Discovery Through Self-Indulgence

Image result for love relationships gif

The time to work on yourself is opportune in every sense. The Pink Moon is very considerate this time around and allowing you to take care of your needs. As a matter of fact, in addition to preventing any love related upheaval in your life, the Pink Moon is also actively sorting out your life and helping you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

While you might not be going on dates, that doesn’t mean you will be sitting idle at home. You will focus on getting in shape, catching up with friends, attending family events and just unwinding. A trip, solo or in a group, is also very possible. You will leave behind insecurities and baggage, and become more fun and spontaneous. If you happen to be in a relationship, expect smooth sailing with no turbulence. Your partner will fit into your schedule perfectly and you won’t have to make any effort to balance everything.

The Pink Moon is being extra generous to you by allowing you to be yourself and not stirring up trouble. Make sure you make the most of this opportunity and find different ways to enjoy the smaller things in life. It would be a perfect time to restart a forgotten hobby, or even take up a new one.

2 Pisces Man: Love Is In The Air

Image result for love relationships gif

Pisces have a lot of feeling and are always thinking of others. Gear up, Pisces, your world is about to change forever. There is a strong chance that you will meet someone perfect for you very soon. And yes, you have the Pink Moon to thank for that.

Your love life, which has been rather uninteresting for some time now, is all set to step into the next gear.

When you least expect it, you will bump into someone and connect with them instantly. The ‘spark’ that everyone keeps talking about, you are about to experience it first hand. Be ready to fall head-first into a deep, intense and life-changing relationship. The bad news, however, is that it might not last very long. That might sound disappointing, but should not stop you exploring something new that comes your way.

The Pink Moon is trying to whip up mischief and is playing with your heart, by uniting you with a perfect lover and then ripping you apart. However, don’t lose faith. There is a chance that a possible rekindling of romance happens at a later stage in life. The foundation for that is, however, being built now, and you must spend some time to ensure that it is solid and stable.

1 Pisces Woman: A Fresh Start

Being in denial is easy and comfortable, however, the Pink Moon has no intentions of letting you stay in denial. When Pisces women are in love, they're devoted to the person they love. But, work, family, friends, and particularly, love life, is about to be shaken up very soon, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Don’t worry, once the dust settles, you will be able to clearly see things and make informed decisions. A major shakedown and change seems very plausible in your love life, and it is not recommended that you meet someone new at the moment. Use this time to focus on other aspects of your life, mend relationships with family and friends and focus on your health. Very soon, when things start falling into place, and you feel more in control, love will come knocking on its own.

On the plus side, once you face the core of what is bothering you, you have a real chance to fix it and heal yourself. Somewhere along the line, you have lost focus on what really matters to you and this is a great chance to hit the reset button. Make sure you don’t miss out on it.

Top Ten Worst Nickelodeon Moments

Here they are: The Top 10 Worst Moments of Nickelodeon.

The Top Ten

1 Reruns of Fanboy and Chum Chum

Fanboy and Chum Chum is one of the worst cartoons ever! No surprise, it's worse than Phineas and Ferb

Yes. Whoever make this list and put SpongeBob on here is stupid. - toy

Here's what Nickelodeon said after cancelling Fanboy and Chum Chum:

Nickelodeon: Duhh...! [retarded voice] We R 2 B Nickelodeon! Let's bring back one of our worst cartoons ever that everybody knowing and loving called; Duh! Fanboy and Chum Chum! *guffaws* We loving more and more Fanboy and Chum Chum! YAY!

FB and CC sucks, but reruns of it are not the worst thing to happen to the network. - Cartoonfan202

2 No More of Nickelodeon: Games and Sports for Kids

I wish I had more of Nick: Games and Sports.

They replaced it with the pointless NickSports block on NickToons - Cartoonfan202

3 All Other Older Nick Shows Not Coming Back

I'm so annoyed that I was born in 2003. Wish I was born in the 1990's so I could watch the amazing T.V. shows you guys had. It's like when parents say "Stop using your cell phones! " I'm just like, you had stuff we didn't like good television shows. My cousin who's 23 told me that Nickelodeon and Disney used to be such incredible channels that would bring family together. But today, my parents yell at the television and say "Turn that crap down! " and I agree with them. The only good show today is Gravity Falls. I'm the Gravity Falls 1# fan! I watch Gravity Falls YouTube channels and I carefully watch the show to look for clues of Bill Cipher and I watch Alex Hirsch interviews! Wish every show was as good as Gravity Falls. By the way, for A LOT of people who don't know, Girl Meets World is a new Disney show coming out in December this year and it's going to offend a lot of the makers of Boy Meets World and the people who had watched that. OK, as conclusion, all I have to say is that ...more - maddyparrot22

I was born in 2002 and I'm sad I couldn't see much of the old shows but lately I have been watching them on YouTube and really like them and I also want them to bring old shows back even though I was born in 2002 and I wanted to be born in the 90's. same with Cartoon Network and Disney Channel - Pastakirby7

They seriously need to consider bringing back some of the old Nick shows all these new Nick Shows suck. - egnomac

I'm sure many people wanted reboots of their favorite old shows, - Cartoonfan202

4 Cancelling Invader ZiM

I want more new episodes of Invader ZiM.

This was my favorite show growing up - DrRyAn

Here's what nick said before canceling this.
Duh! (idiotic voice) Since not many kids liked this now means it will be hated in future. Lets rerun fanboy and chum chum or make more idiotic SpongeBob episodes with innapropiate jokes the fans will be happy forever!

They cancelled it because too many soccermoms were complaining. - Cartoonfan202

5 A Lame New Logo

Yeah, when Nickelodeon changed their logo, things were already starting to go downhill.

Bring back the splat! Bring back the splat!

The splat logo was awesome.The new logo is too generic. - Cartoonfan202

Oh Boo Hoo! Logos Change! It's Part of Life. - kcianciulli

6 The worst programming that will not go away

Sanjay and Craig and Breadwinners are the worst shows ever my mom hates them too

1. Dora the explorer 2. Sam and cat 3. The haunted hathaways 4. Sanjay and Craig 5. Rabbids invasion 6. Bubble guppies that's my worst programming that will not go away.

Let's not forget The Haunted Hathaways and Dora the Explorer

I want The Thundermans to go die already, but no! Prickelodeon gives shoving it my face and is possibly giving it a 5th season and a movie! - Cartoonfan202

V 2 Comments
7 Making more new episodes of SpongeBob

SpongeBob could of had such a good name, if they cancelled it after the movie. They should cancel it. It had it's time, but now it just has to go. The episodes are bad, everybody is starting to hate it, and it's giving Nickelodeon a bad name. Derek Drymon just can't do SpongeBob. They should take it off, before it gets even worse.

It shouldn't be cancelled, it will always be Nickelodeon's most iconic show, They just need the original creator to come back, and then SpongeBob SquarePants will be good again.

At least the new ones are occasionally watchable unlike Marvin Marvin and Fred the Show.

SpongeBob was good until after the movie, what made it go downhill so much was because it's original creator, Steven Hillenburg, retired, and the writers + the new ones couldn't think of much to put on the show, and some of the newer writers put bad things on the show, such as splinters, toenails and suicide, Cancelling the show would in fact not help at all, the only thing that would help is that Steven Hillenburg needs to return, and he did, Season 10 will come in the coming years and will be the best ever.

Actually, this is the only reason I even watch Nick nowadays. Seasons 9B-11 of SB are really good! Not quite like the first three, but good in their own right.

8 Cancelling All That

All That was one of my favorite franchises ever. But now, it's gone. The last two shows remaining from the All That franchise are The Fairly OddParents and Figure it Out.

All That was good enough, but it was going on for too long. - Cartoonfan202

9 Incoroprating shows from DreamWorks Animation

The Penguins of Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and Monsters vs. Aliens are boring. I know a lot of people love them.

Kung Fu Panda and Monsters vs Aliens were lame. The Penguins of Madagascar was good though. - Cartoonfan202

10 Over-Using the SpongeBob franchise

It's ok to overuse SpongeBob, but not the episodes that came out after the movie, those new episodes are dirty poopy crap compared to the old episodes.

Its all they care for. - Cartoonfan202

The Contenders

11 Showing Big Time Rush

I voted for this just to share my opinion. First of all, what is wrong with Big Time Rush? I'm a big Rusher even now in 2017, and so are millions of people. The 4 main characters had to be good dancers, actors and singers in the first place. Not mentioning how many stunts there are in the show. When they weren't filming the series, they were either on a tour or recording songs for the new album. Second, why would someone put this on the list, and not all the stupid new shows like Regal Academy or Game Shakers? From Big Time Rush you could learn so many stuff, such as how far you can go if you just follow your dreams or that other people's opinions aren't important as long as you still have support. And from these new shows, all you can learn is more insults and butt and toilet jokes. In my opinion, this shouldn't even be on the list.

Good thing Big Time Rush didn't have a laugh track, but it was still stale & mostly relied on pop music and there's no plot. - nelsonerico6

There's a big time rush to get away from those jerks!

This show is average - Cartoonfan202

12 Getting rid of SNICK

We want more of SNICK!

Eh, I was born in the 2000s so I knew nothing about this. - Cartoonfan202

I'm a 2000's kid... I never got a chance to see it... *cries*

13 Cancelling Making Fiends

I want more fiends, Nickelodeon!

Making Fiends was the best Nicktoons original series. - Cartoonfan202

I bet people will hate me when I say

I loathe this show. I'm being serious. I hate it with a burning passion. This cartoon is seriously screwed up. Plotting a murder on an innocent little girl. This is Nickelodeon we're talking about.

14 Game Show exploitation

Figure it Out is the last remaining game show on Nickelodeon.

Some of their game shows were decent - Cartoonfan202

...and it's gone

15 Keeping Dora the Explorer on TV and not Blue's Clues

Blue's Clues was great. Dora, not so much. - Cartoonfan202

16 Getting Rid of Noggin

My childhood... gone :'( - Chaotixhero

This should replace the spongebob shtick, this should be higher

Screw the CEO who thought it was a good idea to get rid of Moose A. Moose. - Cartoonfan202

I COMPLETELY agree. Nick Jr. Is now way worse. They have new bad shows, and the characters are bland and hard to relate with. My favorite thing about Noggin used to be Moose A. Moose and Zee. They were so cute and fun to watch their promo's on my T.V. screen, and they sang songs that were fun to sing and listen to. I really wish they'd get rid of all of Nick Jr.'s terrible shows and bring back the old, good ones.

17 Giving the green light to the Naked Brothers Band

I hate the Naked Brothers Band so much! That name is just way too terrible. The Naked Brothers Band is one of the worst musicians ever, next to Phineas and Ferb, One Direction, Big Time Rush, Alyson Stoner, Rebecca Black, The Jonas Brothers, The Wiggles, Hannah Montana, and other boring musicians.

The title sounds too inappropriate for Nick. - Cartoonfan202

18 Nick Studio 10 Nick Studio 10

This event makes us all scream in horror. All because of the fart in the jar song and the stupid interuptoins.

It interrupted shows, contained stupid skits, and showed people wasting food and abusing animals. - Cartoonfan202

This show is just way too retartded.

19 Adding Worldwide Day of Play

I like the idea of having a day to exercise and go outside for a change, but there's one thing I just don't get: Why would Nick be promoting kids to go outside, when they really want to promote kids to watch their show? That just doesn't make sense to me.

Well, at least we still have Cartoon Network to watch... That is if they stop airing teen Titans go 1 million times a day

Yes I hate this I am not a fatty but I hate this all I just want to spend my weekends watching spongebob and playing games and going here not a man lecturing me to go outside

Look Prickelodeon, its not bright and sunny for everyone during the worldwide day of play. It might be hailing where they live! - Cartoonfan202

It won in 2018 too! - ShopkinsLover

21 Giving Fred his own show

His voice sounds really squeaky and annoying. That's about it.

They gave him TWO shows, 3 movies, and made him guest star in shows like iCarly. - Cartoonfan202

22 Reruns of True Jackson, VP, Big Time Rush, iCarly, and Victorious

All four of these shows suck! The writing is garbage, the fanbase is annoying, the characters have no lasting value, and I can't see the appeal to these shows, anytime soon. Get rid of them!

ICarly and Victorious went downhill, BTR is mediocre, and True Jackson VP I never watched. - Cartoonfan202

23 Premiering Breadwinners

Has a stupid concept. I mean, seriously? Two lame ducks who shake their butts and deliver gross bread. Real creative nick, real creative.

Breadwinners is the most stupidest show ever because I don't watch it all the time

It's so dumb I only watch one episode and they go to driving school and when the teachers said get those books in your head one of the reatards put the big book in the other retards ear

It was a huge mistake for them to even GREENLIGHT! - Cartoonfan202

V 1 Comment
24 Removing Korra

Korra shouldn't have been removed, Nick got rid of it because it lost a lot of viewers, but when Nick plays the bad shows and when they lose viewers, Nick keeps them running, Nick needs to stop with what they're doing and start making good shows and respecting fans again.

I don't know what they where thinking

I hate the avatar franchise all of it the last air bender Korra the DVDs trading cards that horrible movie release everything

25 Nick Cancels Victorous

I know this show is hate able but Nick cancels this show even know that its LAST episode is BARELY a finale.

At least iCarly had a proper finale, this didn't. - kcianciulli

They didn't even give it a proper finale. - Cartoonfan202

26 Dora and Friends: Into the City Dora and Friends: Into the City Dora and Friends: Into the City! is an American CGI interactive educational animated television series.

It was not a good idea to give Dora a spinoff. - Cartoonfan202

Awww man, I thought Dora was done for good

Yesss! I totally agree! #GetDoraOutOfTheCity

27 The Fall of Rocko's Modern Life (And the Rise of SpongeBob)

Seriously, what the hell were parents thinking?

Uh...- - Cartoonfan202

28 Hiring Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, and Richard Pursel

The worst SB writers. - Cartoonfan202

Tisk Tisk, Zeus Cervas also worked for CatDog.

29 Too Many Bad Shows Based Off of Movies and Video Games

I'm completely fine with them making shows based off of movies and games, but only if they know how to do it right.

Tak and the Power of JuJu enough said. - Cartoonfan202

30 The Black Licorice Game

It made over 9,000 kids crap their pants for 18 hours after giving the black licorce to the kids who hate it! - meows

This game is creepy. - Cartoonfan202

So true!
It is scary! - kitten2015

31 Injuring Pups Too Much In Paw Patrol

They doit so much they added marshall being a medic...

I don't see how that's a problem - Cartoonfan202

I don't see that as a problem as much as everyone being just plain dumb. (Except the PAW Patrol themselves-most of the time) For example we have "Pups Great Race" in which Chickeletta pecks at a balloon's rope. Seriously, Chickeletta, you're a cool fowl and all, but must you always cause trouble? Except for being yellow, that rope looked nothing like corn.

And then there's Francois, who blatantly puts his own health at risk just so he could get a picture of a bird. I know it was a rare one, but it's no reason to almost get yourself killed! And if he dabbles in wildlife photography, he should know how to do it without tipping the bird off. - GraphiteTail

32 Canceling Robot and Monster

Why would they cancel such a smart show like Robot and Monster and replace it with a brain-rotting piece of crap like Sanjay and Craig?

Take this off the list, it was a horrible show, they cursed on one episode leading to the cancellation.

To everyone who keeps saying that they cussed on this show, please stop. - Cartoonfan202

33 Cancelling CatDog

Thanks Nick, you just made my day. I'm kidding.

Ugh... - Cartoonfan202

34 A Nickelodeon Version of "Watch Me" Being Created

The original version of Watch Me/Whip Nae Nae was bad enough. Do we need another even worse version of it?

Why. Just, why?

35 Shows that star Lucas Cruikshank

Personally I'm not a Lucas Cruikshank fan (sorry Cruikshank but stick to YouTube it's your fame home). The characters on both shows suck like the shows the only good characters are Bertha, Holly, Judy, Terry, Pop-Pop and Fred's Parents. Both shows suck.
Fred Figglehorn: SO ANNOYING WORSE THAN SECRET MOUNTAIN FORT AWESOME AND UNCLE GRANDPA AND THE PROBLEM SOLVERZ COMBINED. Fred is pretty much the biggest ass-licker anyway and by the way he acts, something is wrong with him. There is no proof that he's mentally disabled (I really apologize and no offense to the mentally disabled out there) but there is no way that Fred Figglehorn was born a normal-functioning person. You know what would've have made Fred the Show good is Judy returning and Fred falling in love with her again and if Fred was more mature but still humorous in that way but not annoying.
Marvin Marvin: WORSE THAN FRED. He acts worse than him and is more annoying and Unlikable. These characters are so Unlikable that ...more

I hate both Fred: The Show, and Marvin Marvin. Both of those shows suck. I'm just glad Nickelodeon had the brains to get rid of them.

Fred the Show and Marvin Marvin stink. - Cartoonfan202

36 Fanboy and Chum Chum Fanboy and Chum Chum Fanboy & Chum Chum is an American 3D CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on Fanboy, an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast August 14, 2009 to July 12, 2014 on Random! Cartoons. The series was first more.

In I think 2008, The new crappy show Fanboy and ChumChum was not a major hit. It was everyone's worst nightmare.

This show killed the network! - Cartoonfan202

37 The Age of the New Spongebob

The thing I hate the most about the new SpongeBob is the way they add too much detail into scenes. For instance, they'd show a picture after something happens. The picture would show SpongeBob looking like he had insomnia, he had hygiene issues, and he recently had a hangover.

In another example, they showed another picture of Patrick's back with hair sprouting out and his butt crack showing. It's really disgusting to look at and it makes me sick thinking about it.

In 2005, When SpongeBob comes back. Everyone hated it. Sure season 4 is pretty decent. But still. Its bad in the past and its bad today.

Is it 8 years old a year older than me I am age nine

38 Nick Jr. Joining Nick

Not a big problem - Cartoonfan202

Due to there SPECIALS. They decide this: Nick Jr. : Hey Nick can we borrow your channel just that we can show kids with no brains our dumb special? Nick: * In a dopey voice* Duhh sure you can Duhh borrow our channel for big kids and little kids duh. I swear it felt like that Nick is getting even stupider.

39 Canceling Blue's Clues

I thought I was the only one who thought that replacing Steve with Joe was bad. Joe is a lot more annoying and creepy. Whenever Blues Clues would come on, I'd look at the year before clicking it; to make sure it was Steve. If it was Joe, I'd automatically go find something else.

Replacing Steve with Joe was bad, putting this show off air was worse. - Connor360

When they replaced Steve with Joe it went downhill - Cartoonfan202

I actually like joe - ShopkinsLover

40 The Justin Bieber Episode on True Jackson V.P.

Wait, he guest starred on that show? - Cartoonfan202

41 Snoop Dogg Guest Starring on Big Time Rush

I have no words - Cartoonfan202

Ohhh nooo... Not the dawg

42 Not Cancelling the Fairly OddParents

The new Fairly OddParents isn't so bad compared to most other shows, but not the best and not as good as the old episodes. - nelsonerico6

They might cancel it since it got shafted to Nicktoons - Cartoonfan202

That is an ok show, it's not too bad.

43 Making React To That

A YouTube-imported piece of crap that premiered on December 15, 2014 instead of the scheduled premiere on January 1, 2015, it has no plot and one of the Every Witch Way characters is on it, which puts Every Witch Way in danger of being cancelled too soon and it is a stupid show like the others compared to Every Witch Way.

Another YouTube-imported show set to premiere on NY's day, 2015, it will put an end to Every Witch Way, which is literally one of the best live-action comedy shows on Nick that beats every other Nickelodeon sitcom, Maddie will star on it, please vote.

Crap imported from Youtube - Cartoonfan202

44 Premiering Blaze and the Monster Machines

A copycat of the Dora shows and Thomas & Friends or Cars, Nick seems to rip off shows pretty often.

Why does everyone say it ripoffs Dora, Thomas, and Cars! it doesn't! It still sucks though - Cartoonfan202

45 Cancelling Drake and Josh and Zoey 101

I don't know who posted this topic; but I liked Drake and Josh; but I wasn't that much of a fan of Zoey 101

They had to end at some point. - Cartoonfan202

46 No reruns of Every Witch Way on Nickelodeon

Nick needs to have reruns of Every Witch Way between its seasons and after the series finale, there are only reruns a month before a new season and they air on TeenNick, which is for teens and Every Witch Way is for ALL AGES!

They could not show reruns of it because it's a story arc based show and reruns of a random episode could confuse viewers - Cartoonfan202

47 Every Witch Way's seasons last 1 month long

Nick needs to make Every Witch Way run longer seasons and maybe even air 2 episodes a week, the seasons are too short and the weekdaily format causes a stir of controversy among fans.

That inspired a lot of one-month dramas on Nickelodeon such as Make it pop - Cartoonfan202

48 Becoming owned by Viacom

That makes no sense man its already is even in the 90s

Viacom sucks. - Cartoonfan202

49 Not censoring inappropriate SpongeBob episodes (The Splinter, House Fancy, etc)

Episodes like One Coarse Meal should get removed. - Cartoonfan202

One Coarse Meal needed the most censoring, Mr. Krabs treated Plankton to suicide and that is not appropriate for any age, The show got messed up.

50 "Angel" Adam Sandler

What - Cartoonfan202

A Band Beyond Description... Steal Your Face has spent the last 10 years on their own "long, strange trip," paying tribute to The Grateful Dead with fire and passion. Born from the adventurous spirit of Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead, Steal Your Face is a high energy band known for mind-blowing jams, innovative lead guitar and emotional vocals.

One of the hottest bands to come out of Philly in a long time, “SYF” has spent the last 10 years building their own wild legacy. Now in their second decade, Steal Your Face has performed at festivals and theaters up and down the east coast, gaining new fans and critical acclaim every step of the way. The band was honored to play Gathering of The Vibes Music Festival in Bridgeport, CT and perform on the same bill with heroes Bob Weir, Crosby Stills and Nash, George Clinton and P-Funk and The Band's Levon Helm. The following year SYF was awarded the Bucks-Mont Music Award for "Best Jamband". In 2017 SYF successfully headlined The Westcott Theater in Syracuse, NY and Gypsy Sally’s in Washington D.C. as well as Philadelphia’s Trocadero Theatre and World Café Live.

Performing the music of The Grateful Dead with reverence and adventure, SYF shows bring generations of fans together. Those who remember Grateful Dead concerts feel things they remember from days gone by, while younger generations of Dead Heads go wild. Each Steal Your Face show is a fun and unique psychedelic adventure.

AFL Round 21: Hawthorn vs. Geelong

From the stocky little midfielder that nobody wanted to a Rising Star, Premiership Captain & Brownlow Medalist, the story of Sam Mitchell’s perseverance to make it to the very top of the game is now a well-worn tale. But as we now shake our heads in disbelief as to how Mitchell could have ever been overlooked in his draft year, has the AFL industry actually learnt its lesson?

AFL Round 20: Sydney vs. Collingwood

In 2014 a furore erupted when it became evident that the Sydney Swans would pay minimal compensation for the acquisition of their academy graduate Isaac Heeney. 4 years on, is the academy system for NSW and Queensland clubs working? And is it fair?

AFL Round 19: Richmond vs. Collingwood

It is now 9 decades since the peak of the Collingwood-Richmond rivalry. Over 3 consecutive Grand Finals between 1927-1929, the Collingwood Machine Team established it’s greatness despite the efforts of the competitive Tigers. But what was the key element to the success of the Machine Team? And can it be found in the present day Tigers?

FIFA World Cup: Australia vs. Peru

After 2 games played, Argentina are in crisis, Brazil have narrowly avoided disaster, Peru are scoreless, Uruguay have been lacklustre and Colombia have just recovered from a calamitous opening game. What's going wrong for the South American teams? Or, after Colombia's impressive 3-0 win against Poland, is the tide finally going to turn in favour of the South Americans?

FIFA World Cup: France vs. Australia

The French National team has invented new ways of self imploding and based on their usual 8-year cycle they are due another disaster in 2018. Can Australia capitalise? Is it most advantageous for Australis to play them first?

AFL Round 12: Melbourne vs. Collingwood

The ruck battle is the last great head-to-head duel in modern football. And this week the two premier ruckmen in the AFL this season, Max Gawn and Brodie Grundy, will come face-to-face. But which one can lay claim to be the best ruckman in the league?

AFL Round 11: Sydney vs. Carlton

In tribute to the 2018 Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round, The Weekend Preview reflects on how Michael O’Loughlin launched his career and investigates whether we have passed the peak of Lance Franklin.

AFL Round 10: Melbourne vs. Adelaide

Jake Lever faces his old side for the first time this weekend, but should Melbourne have got him in his draft year? And is Paul Seedsman the best winger in the competition this season?

AFL Round 9: West Coast vs. Richmond

West Coast were formidable at Subiaco, but they have looked similarly impressive at Optus Stadium. So was the home-ground factor of the Subiaco ground dimensions (long & narrow) over-hyped? And what about the Tigers playing away from their beloved short & wide MCG?

AFL Round 8: Carlton vs. Essendon

Stephen Kernahan may be Carlton’s Captain in their Team of the Century, but unfortunately for him, he is remembered for 2 things… And although the 2018 Carlton side is only a shadow of what was on show in the Kernahan era, on the bright side the Blues do have an evergreen halfback that is in career best form…

AFL Round 7: Sydney vs. North Melbourne

North Melbourne has missed out on Father-Son prospect Nick Blakey. In terms of the Father-Son rule, the Kangaroos are surely the most unlucky team in the AFL. As for Sydney, what will they need to give up to secure Blakey in the draft?

AFL Round 6: Collingwood vs. Richmond

It was stability, on and off the field that ultimately formed the platform for Richmond’s 2017 premiership success. And whilst Dustin Martin ultimately took most of the individual award honours in Richmond’s premiership season, it was possibly Alex Rance that was the most irreplaceable Richmond player. Rance is the pre-eminent key defender of his generation, but is he still the best key defender in the AFL?

AFL Round 4: Geelong vs. St Kilda

There were two moments that summed up the fortunes of Geelong in the 2008 and 2009 Grand Finals. And there was one player who was central to both moments - Cameron Mooney. He is also the only player that has celebrated both a birthday and a premiership on the same day for over 20 years. But does a footballer's birthday really matter? More than you think.

AFL Round 2: Geelong vs. Hawthorn

2018 represents the 10 year anniversary of Hawthorn's 2008 Premiership success and the coming together of the greatest ever left-footed team. But is it really true that left-footers are better kicks of the football? The Weekend Preview investigates.

AFL Round 1: Richmond vs. Carlton

Watching the Richmond and Carlton Football Clubs start the AFL fixture each year is usually a preamble to the season proper for most supporters. But this year (at last), it’s not just a cautionary tale on how to mismanage a club, it’s a cautionary tale on how to manage a premiership team. It has been over 2 decades since either team has faced the scenario of defending a premiership…

The 2018 Australian Open – Final

The narrative of the Men’s 2018 Australian Open Tournament has been dominated by injury to key players, but it is hard to argue that the two finalists are the most deserving of a spot in the final. Roger Federer is the overwhelming favourite to beat Marin Cilic, but is this justified? To answer this question, The Weekend Preview examines the performances of both players in the 6 matches they have played en route to the final.

The 2018 Australian Open – Round 4

As a bonus set of articles for the Australian Open, The Weekend Preview will present a round by round assessment of the state of play in the Men’s Singles Draw. Before the Fourth Round, we discuss the impact of age and inexperience.

Preparing for Wind Damage Archives

How Tampa's Mangrove Losses Could Increase Risk of Wind Storm Damage

Are mangrove losses in West Central Florida putting Tampa Bay homeowners at greater risk of windstorm damage in the event of a hurricane or other severe storm? If you live in Florida, you may have heard that mangrove forests can provide protection against severe storm damage. If you know about the benefits of mangroves to people and property, you also may know that human impact has been extremely damaging to native mangrove forests throughout the state. We want to talk more about how a greater emphasis on environmental protection also might be able to help protect your home from severe storm damage.

Types of Windstorm Damage in West Central Florida

Thankfully, we have reached the end of the Atlantic hurricane season. However, it remains essential for West Central Florida homeowners to be prepared for windstorm damage in the winter and early spring. Often, the slightly cooler months in the Tampa Bay area are accompanied by severe storms, and strong winds can result in substantial property damage. When it comes to storms that have the potential to damage your home, all storms are not equal. However, your home can be damaged by serious windstorm damage no matter what time of year or the type of severe storm you are facing.

Wind Storm Damage Caused By Recent Hurricane

For any Floridian who has lived in the state through a major hurricane, it should not come as a surprise that a hurricane that strikes the East Coast of the state can produce serious wind storm damage on the West Coast. You do not have to be within the path of the hurricane's eye-or even within the bands outside it-to experience significant wind storm damage that can leave your home with serious property damage. Indeed, as a recent report from Bay News 9 explained, Hurricane Matthew moved relatively quickly out of Florida and never posed a risk of a direct hit to cities in West Central Florida, yet many of those locations experienced power outages as a result of the dangerous winds from this hurricane.

Does Florida Have a Tornado Season?

For anyone living in Sarasota or the Tampa Bay area, you might be wondering if you need to gear up for another eventful tornado season that could lead to significant property damage. But wait-does Florida actually have a tornado season? Last year around this same time, residents of West Central Florida were eagerly waiting for hurricane season to come to a close (which ends November 30 in Florida). Yet just a short time later, the Gulf Coast experienced a number of very serious storms that produced damaging tornadoes.

Protecting Your Home from Wind Damage

Given that severe storms have been impacting Florida residents in recent months and likely will continue through the winter, it is important to think about ways of protecting your home from wind storm damage. Certainly, the threat of wind damage from hurricanes is well-known to most residents of South and Central Florida. But if you own a home, you might not be thinking about bolstering your property in the hurricane off-season. According to a pamphlet from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), "the force of . . . wind alone can cause weak places in your home to fail." In other words, it is a good idea to take steps to bolster your property in the event of an unexpected severe storm with high winds.
