Julian P Boom Fleur Pierets

Lesbian artists Fleur Pierets and Julian P. Boom won't be able to take up their mission: to marry in 24 countries that legalized marriage equality. Julian is dying of cancer.

A terrible news affected the couple. On Facebook, Fleur shared the sad news about her wife: "My beautiful wife, the love of my life, is dying," she wrote. “A week ago we called the doctor in France because Julian couldn’t hold her food and had fainted. After running some scans, it turns out that she has numerous tumors in her head and around her heart.”

Julian had breast cancer last year. She managed to fight it. The doctors didn't look for other cancers in other parts of her body because she had no symptoms. But cancer was developing. And it's too late to do anything.

“The doctors are giving her three more months in which she will lose her capacity to speak and to remember things until she will slip into a coma,” Fleur added.

“I always believed in having a purpose in life, in being exactly at the right place and time to make you grow. Now I find there’s only randomness. And a great lack of silver linings,” she finished.

Fleur and Julian met seven years ago in Amsterdam. They quickly fell in love with each other. They worked together on several artistic projects. And Project 22 will be the last. It was a very beautiful project. Fleur and Julian planned to marry in the 22 countries that legalized marriage equality. The project expanded to 24 countries as Germany and Malta approved the law.

The couple was able to get married in France, Belgium, United States and in the Netherlands. They shared many photos on their website.

The aim was to raise awareness about marriage equality in a positive way. Fleur had told the AFP: “Instead of complaining about 170 countries where you cannot get married, let’s celebrate 24.”

I also wanted to share the GoFundMe campaign launched by their friends. Their insurance doesn't cover Julian's palliative care. I know, it's disgusting, so if you want to help Julian to go away peacefully, the page is available here: https://www.gofundme.com/we-want-you-to-know-we-care

We are all very saddened by the news. All the girls join me in these few words to send lots of love to the couple at this extremely difficult moment.

Just For The Pleasure: Tegan And Sara https://www.lezbelib.com/music/just-for-the-pleasure-tegan-and-sara https://www.lezbelib.com/music/just-for-the-pleasure-tegan-and-sara

tegan and sara 1

We all know Tegan and Sara. Their style, their voices, their music do not have any equivalence and, after some notes of music, we can recognize them easily.

The twins already have more than 10 years of career so let's just listen with pleasure a mythical lesbian band.

Tegan and Sara 2000Tegan and Sara started to play music together in high school in Canada.

In 1997, they used the studio of their school to record their first two demos: Who's in Your Band? and Play Day. The next year, The Yellow Tape, The Orange Tape and The Red Tape (the good time of tapes...) were created. The same year, they won a song contest in Calgary, their first public's recognition.

In 1999, their first album Under Feet Like Ours, that they co-produced, was released under the name of Sara and Tegan. With Hype, a song from this album, we can easily understand why they were, one year later, signed by a label, they were 17 years old.

A part of the songs of Under Feet Like Ours was recorded on Business of Art who starts with this song The First that you have to listen, specially if you don't know it! People used to say that they played folk as Tegan said in an interview with North County Times: "I always thought we were kind of a pop-rock act. I never understood the folk (label)," said Tegan.

"Listening to even This Business of Art there are so many keyboards and weird stuff on it, I just can't imagine why people called it folk. I really just don't understand. I think it's because we're female. I think people are sexist. I think because we are girls and we played acoustic guitar on that record, people called us folk. But they don't call Coldplay folk."

If It Was You will follow in 2002 with Monday ,Monday, Monday and Living Room.

In 2004, the album So Jealous was released. It's really the album that they see as their real first album:

"The first three records we made, we had low budgets, we had limited time, we had limited skills in the studio. So we did what we could,

If It Was You was definitely the first record where we moved in the direction that we wanted to go in," Tegan said, "but So Jealous to me could have easily been our first record. I think we finally entered the game in my opinion."

Back In Your Head from The Con (2007) just my favorite song of Tegan and Sara.

tegan and sara sainthood cover

Recently, in 2009, they released a new album Sainthood still with amazing songs as Hell that I also like a lot but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I hope you spent a really great time listening this Just for the pleasure around Tegan and Sara. This is a band that we're following since more than 10 years with still the same pleasure I think, albums after albums and songs after songs. Tegan and Sara are also a band who follows us punctuating our lives with amazing songs.

Lezbelib Interview With Anything But Monday https://www.lezbelib.com/music/lezbelib-interview-with-anything-but-monday https://www.lezbelib.com/music/lezbelib-interview-with-anything-but-monday

anything but monday

After they contacted me saying me they were a lesbian group having their last song quadruple platinium, I wondered who was this band.

Personally, and maybe are you in the same case, I never heard of Anything But Monday before.

You may have already danced on their music in clubs or watched this commercial for a beer and enjoyed these sexy girls who introduced it not knowing that it was Anything But Monday.

That was not always easy for Anything But Monday. When you asked them how it feels to be lesbian? They answer you that "it's terrific to be lesbian!!!  LOL" because it's nothing compared to the most "terrific" thing in their career.

anything but monday 2In addition to the fact that they are a lesbian group, they are all sexy so they were not always treated like something else than a sexy-girls band, worst, some people even said they were idiots.

However they didn't give up and finally here they are and we heard more and more about them. And if people like what they do, it is because above all, Samanda, Porscha, Atussa, Nayer and Katrina are talented!

E-Li: The name of your band is Anything But Monday, where does it comes from?

The name ANYTHING BUT MONDAY comes from the idea that we never want the weekend to end!

anything but monday 3

E-Li: What kind of music are you doing?
Our music is POWER POP, but we do lots of different styles on the remixes for the DJ's in the clubs. But basically, we're a POWER POP group.

E-Li: And how the band was formed? How did this big adventure s tart?

We formed the group in high-school a couple years ago. Actually Nayer and I (Samanda) have known each other since kindergarten. But we all got together and were singing at the mall a couple Christmas' ago and some guy comes up to us and says he thinks we are good and that we should call him. He didn't have a card and just wrote his number on a piece of paper... so when I told my mom about it she said to stay away from people like that because he was probably a pervert. And then Katrina's mother decided to call him, just to investigate, and he turned out to be real. It was Stephen Stone and he had recently sold his record company RUFFHOUSE/SONY and was putting together a new project. He had already done Kris Kross, the Fugees and Lauryn Hill and was involved with Destiny's Child and J-Lo and a bunch of other people. He had some new project he was putting together with Universal and we got the gig. So the next thing we knew, we were in the studio for like a year getting worked like a pack of rented mules!!  LOL... but we were really happy about it. We would put our heart and soul into singing a particular song and just when we thought it was the most spectacular song ever to be created in the history of the universe, Stephen Stone would stop by and tell us it was really good and in a nice way tell us to do it all over again.... hahaha.... and sure enough it would come out even better the next time.... so we took our whippings with grace.

anything but monday 4

E-Li: We can say that nobody believed in you at the beginning, in particular in the music industry because of your marketing choice (your songs were available to be download for free as you think that a band will have popularity if it has the talent), how do you succeed to make them change their opinion because now you are labeled?

Stephen Stone's plan for us was that we were going to be a "test" for the Universal label and the digital marketplace. After we record our music we put it up on the Universal serves and let any DJ who wants our master files take them. And then the DJ's get to sell their own remixes without the fear of getting sued.
The idea was that if the DJ's liked our music enough to remix it, then we would become popular from their efforts and the record label - who is out of money - will not have to spend millions of bucks trying to make us popular. So the DJ's win because they have a chance to become superstars with their remixes - which what they all dream of, just like us. The record company wins, because they save money on marketing. And we win because we get to become popular. The only downside is that if we give away all the music for free, then we have to figure out some kind of new business model for the music industry.

anything but monday 5

I can tell you that there were tons of people that thought that we were idiots for doing what we were doing.... but at this point our song BUMP has gone quadruple platinum and we have never hit an industry chart..... and we probably never will because there's so many different remixes of it all over the world that the chances of a million people buying one particular remix is basically not going to happen. They're thousands of remixes on BUMP and the DJ's who made them are pushing them, because for the first time ever they get to legitimately make money on their own remixes. And even though we give our stuff away for free or for really discounted prices on all the Internet music sites, people still buy it. But most importantly our goal is to sell an ancillary product and let the music become the promotional tool, rather than the conventional "end result".

I can tell you that when we told the people at Universal that the record label was going to have to make money selling something else beside music, there were a lot of frowny faces  with dumbfounded looks in the room.  Absolutely nobody believed in us.  They were even waging bets on how bad and how fast we would flop. But since Stephen had swept the Grammy's with Lauryn Hill and turned Ruffhouse into a company that went from unable-to-pay-the-rent to the Fortune magazine's list of Most Successful Companies In the USA, they were kinda afraid to boot us out on our butts... so they all just shook their heads and said good luck....

anything but monday 6

oh and some big executive, who I don't know who it was, but it was some guy from the New York office, looked me right in the eye with the meanest look I've ever seen and when we were walking out he told me "try not to ruin the music industry with your ridiculous plan".  The old fart actually made us start crying after got out of there.... but now he's the one doing the crying because things are working out GREAT!!!!!  I can't wait to see that mean old bastard again some day.  I'm gonna have to kick him in the balls no matter how much trouble I get in for it. But I guess maybe you shouldn't print all this if you don't want to because it would good to surprise him!!!  hahaha.

E-Li: One of your video clip was recently the number 1 of the most seen videos on MySpace? What did you feel when you heard about it? I suppose it was a great surprise.

We put it on MySpace and the DJ's started remixing the song and it's been getting played in all the clubs all over the world, and the commercial hit #1 on the MySpace music video charts.... and is still holding pretty strong always staying in the top 20. But I can tell you that one day when we were going to check our MySpace messages and saw the opening page of MySpace with our commercial featured along with all the other top hit acts on the page I took a double take because I never even considered that people would watch it.... hahaha..... Let alone enough people to make it #1.  All of us were in total shock.

E-Li: Your last song is quadruple platinum, 3 of your video clips are in the top 10 of the most viewed videos on MySpace and you recently collaborated with Britney Spears on a track called Circusgroove, it seems that everything works for you?

When the commercial hit #1 on MySpace, all the sudden the peeps from Universal were calling and congratulating us like they believed in us from the very start!  hahaha. We learned that some of them were actually making bets on how long is would take us to flop.  LOL  But thankfully it's all working out....

And to put the icing on the cake, we just got a call now from NIKE and they are putting together a $50 million ad campaign for a new beverage brand this summer and they wanted to "talk to us".... hahaha..... they were one of the people that hung up on us when we first started..... but we're not gonna hold it against them. They simply did not understand at the time. hahaha.

E-Li: After all this, what will be your agenda for this year 2011 (concerts, new songs)?

For 2011..... We're getting offers for tours from everybody. Stephen Stone still has a connection with the management for Lauryn Hill and she's doing a big comeback tour this year.... so we're trying to get on that. That would be a big one for us. But no matter what happens, we're gonna make something happen for 2011 I swear to God!!!

E-Li: To finish, a last word for our readers?
If you have an idea and believe in yourself no matter how stupid everyone else thinks you are..... just go for it. It's OK if things don't go exactly as planned.... just keep trying and you will figure out a way to get results one way or the other. But most importantly, and from everything we've learned so far, make sure your idea is helpful to someone else - whether it be a DJ or a beer company or somebody down the street.... if you're idea hinges on helping someone get someplace, you will most likely find that your success will be directly proportional to the success you have helped that someone else achieve. I promise!

20 of The Best Lesbians In Music https://www.lezbelib.com/music/20-of-the-best-lesbians-in-music https://www.lezbelib.com/music/20-of-the-best-lesbians-in-music

melissa etheridge

I love music. I love bands that make me cool amongst the younger crowd. Bands such as Disturbed, Slipknot, Metallica, Ozzy... to name a few, get my vote for cool bands. However, I also love to follow Lesbians in Music.

Melissa Etheridge (top picture) is one of the best known and loved musician of all time. Her music speaks for us. Through her cancer, we battled along with her in song. If you haven’t seen her in concert, you are missing out.

The Indigo Girls is a duo of message and voices that ring out to society saying, we are here, deal with it.

I get a Constant Craving of k.d. lang. She’s a little bit country and a little bit of everything else.

The Butchies: Kaia Wilson, Melissa York is a lesbian queercore band from Durham, North Carolina that existed from 1998 to 2005 and is currently on a hiatus.

the butchies

The Butchies

Tribe 8 was an all women outspoken dyke punk band from San Francisco, CA.

Alix Dobkin has been called “Head Lesbian” because of her visibility in the community. In 1973, she produced Lavender Jane Loves Women with Kay Gardner, the very first album for and by lesbians. She has chronicled the lives of lesbians in her music.

Cris Williamson is one of the early pioneers of lesbian music. Her music and insight have served as a catalyst for change in the creation of women-owned record companies in the 1970s.

She used her musical talents, networked with other lesbian artists of musical quality, and represented those who did not yet feel safe in speaking for themselves.

Williamson is remembered by many in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender community for her contributions, both artistically, and politically, and continues to be a role model.

Janis Ian is a musical icon who happens to be a lesbian. For more than 40 years she’s been making great music. Billie’s Bones is one in a long line of excellent albums.

Janis Joplin was not out about her bisexuality, yet she was known to have affairs with both men and women.

Best known for “Fast Cars,” Tracy Chapman has never come out as a lesbian, but we know the truth, they don’t call it gaydar for nothing.

Sweet Honey In The Rock

Sweet Honey in the Rock

Sweet Honey in the Rock, a band I haven’t heard of but is listed in many top bands on lesbian music. They were founded in 1973 by Bernice Johnson Reagon, the all black women’s group sings acappella, except for percussion instruments. They have seen more than 20 women pass through the group over the years, many of them lesbian and bisexual.

Although Me’Shell Ndegeocello scored a few hits early in her career, the singer/bassist opted to concentrate subsequently on more challenging material by exploring the politics of race and sex, among other topics.

Le Tigre is a feminist electronic band that has always mixed thought-provoking politics with their unique brand of pop.

Team Dresch is an American punk band from Portland, Oregon, which was initially active from 1993 until 1998.

The band made a significant impression on the do-it-yourself movement queercore, which gave voice through zines and music to the passions and concerns of those in both the LGBT Community and the punk subculture.

All band members were open lesbians.

tegan and sara 2011

Tegan & Sara

Tegan & Sara are lesbian twin sisters, quickly making their way up the charts with their hit “Walking With a Ghost.”

Melissa Ferrick is an out lesbian rocker with a devoted fan base. While surfing YouTube, look up “I’m A Lesbian” by Melissa, it's a parody of Melissa Etheridge’s song “I’m The Only One.”

Joan Armatrading. Is she or isn’t she? We’re not sure, but she wrote one of the best lesbian love songs ever: "The Weakness in Me".

Ani DiFranco is a positive feminist bisexual folk/rocker.

Sleater Kinney. Half of Sleater Kinney is queer...Carrie and Janet are, Corrin is not.

And last but not least, there is Ferron, is he one of the best songwriters of all time? The Boston Globe said, “Someday they will call (Bob) Dylan the Ferron of the 60s.”

Anti-LGBT judge Roy Moore is running for a U.S. Senator seat

Written by  E-Li

roy moore

Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Roy Moore, who had been suspended for his anti-equal marriage orders, would like to become a U.S. senator.

Remember last year, Judge Moore was suspended after sending an e-mail to all probate judges in Alabama.

He wrote that they didn't have to follow the Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriages and allows them not to issue marriage licenses to LGBT couples if they did not want to do it.

A commission found this recommendation illegal and had suspended the Alabama Supreme Court Chief.

Now Moore is running for a U.S. Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

He opposes to "socialized medicine" and the Obama Health and Human Services abortion coverage mandate in addition to LGBT rights.

The Republican Primary will take place on August 15. Obviously, one hopes for Moore's defeat. After the primary, each Republican candidate will face a Democratic candidate on December 12, 2017.

Arkansas Senate approves the request to amend the United States Constitution to ban equal marriage again

Written by

arkansas senate

The Republican Senate of Arkansas approved a measure against marriage equality by a 19-9 vote.

This measure not only goes against same-sex marriage in Arkansas but also throughout the country. It seeks to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman again.

As reported by the Associated Press, opponents of equal marriage wants to add an amendment to the United States Constitution which says: "Nothing in this Constitution or in the constitution or laws of any state may define or be construed to define marriage except as the union of one man and one woman, and no other union shall be recognized with legal incidents thereof within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

This would nullify the legalization of marriage equality.

But the process requires 34 legislatures to agree with an appeal, and 38 legislatures to approve the amendment. So it's a very long process.

Sharara oilfield shut down over pipelines’ blockade, force majeure declared by NOC

  • Libyan Express + Agencies |
  • Monday 21 August 2017

Sharara oilfield in Libya is one of the largest in the country. (Photo: Internet)

Libya’s Sharara oilfield, the country’s largest, has been shut down since Saturday because of a pipeline blockade, industry sources and an engineer said.

State-owned National Oil Corporation (NOC) declared force majeure on loadings of Sharara crude from the Zawiya oil terminal on Sunday, a document seen by Reuters showed.

Sharara had been producing up to 280,000 barrels per day (bpd) in recent weeks. The field has experienced several temporary shutdowns because of protests by armed groups and oil workers since it reopened last December after a two-year pipeline blockade.

A Libyan oil source said the group blockading the pipeline since Saturday had also shut it in the past. The exact location of the blockade and the group’s demands were not clear, an industry source said.

There was no immediate comment from NOC in Tripoli, which runs Sharara in a joint venture with oil companies Repsol, Total, OMV and Statoil.

Sharara’s production is key to a revival in Libya’s oil output, which surged above 1 million bpd in late June, about four times higher than its level last summer.

Production at Sharara dipped earlier in the month because of security breaches that NOC last week said had been resolved.

Opinion   Lauren Enriquez   Jan 24, 2018   |   1:40PM    Washington, DC

In his speech, Where Do We Go From Here?, Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., said: “…I’m concerned about justice; I’m concerned about brotherhood; I’m concerned about truth. When one is concerned about that he can never advocate violence.”

President Trump honored the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., recently in a private gathering and invited leaders from the African-American community to stand together in commitment to the values that King and his followers professed. Among them were committed pro-lifer advocates, including Human Coalition’s National Outreach Director, Rev. Dean Nelson.

“I enjoyed attending the event because it was a time set aside to honor Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., a champion for justice,” said. Rev. Nelson. “President Trump has shown his dedication to ending the injustice of abortion which disproportionately affects minority communities. I am grateful to the President and Vice President for bringing the crisis of the abortion genocide back into the public consciousness. Vice President Pence has championed the issue throughout his career and continues to do so in Washington. This is an administration that is committed to addressing the biggest racial injustice of our times, and that is abortion.”

What pro-life leaders like Rev. Nelson know is that recourse to violence – especially violence against the most defenseless members of our society – will never lead to the progress, justice, brotherhood, or truth for which King so ardently worked. The violent act of abortion is antithetical to the values that the Civil Rights movement sought to usher in to America. And because the abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood disproportionately target African-Americans, ending abortion is particularly relevant to American minority communities to the present day.

Dr. King’s niece, Dr. Alveda King, has echoed the same thoughts, and also affirmed that her uncle would have been outspokenly pro-life and opposed Planned Parenthood’s racial targeting if abortion had been legal during his lifetime. Dr. King said, “A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.”

The pro-life movement continues to honor Dr. King’s legacy by standing against abortion, the greatest injustice in our nation today.

Top Parenting Tips for Body Image Awareness

Here are some expert tips for parents when it comes to dealing with negative body image in your teens.

New research shows that over half (52%) of Australian teens are concerned they are too fat or too thin yet 1 in 10 would suffer in silence. 1 in 5 parents are concerned with their teens’ eating habits, but are not aware of how to communicate these issues.

Alarmingly the body image crisis appears to worsen once teens hit 18 with those in the 18-19 year old age bracket more influenced by celebrities and friends than those in the younger age group.

The research was conducted in light of Body Image & Eating Disorders Awareness Week (1-8 September).

Dr. Georgia Karabatsos, Medical Director of the Medibank 24/7 Health Advice Line, provides her top 5 tips when it comes to addressing negative body image:

1. Model positive eating behaviours

As parents we often say one thing but do something else. Our children pick up on and model our behaviours rather than our words.  Live a healthy lifestyle without an emphasis on “dieting”. Eat meals with the family.

2. Model positive body image behaviours

Don’t criticise your own appearance or compare yourself to others. Try to be comfortable in your own body and show this to your children.

3. Talk to your children

Being open and talking to your children about everything including their feelings and their friends. This means being  accessible  at times they want to talk which is not necessarily when you want to. This also means listening, being supportive and non judgmental.

4. Encourage positive self esteem

Self esteem is an important protective factor. Encourage your child to have many and varied interests and friends. Encourage them in areas that do not place emphasis on body weight and size. Praise your child for good behaviours, actions and for trying rather than for the way they look.

5. Talk about media images

Images in the media are often unrealistic and airbrushed.  This leads some to equate beauty with thinness and strive for an unattainable body shape. It is  important we discuss this openly and in the cultural context.

And remember, everyone is beautiful!

Logie Awards Fashion Gallery

The 2010 Logie Awards hit Melbourne last night with an explosion of spray tans and sparkle. Long, sequinned frocks were popular as were shoulder embellishments, white, black and muted shades of grey. Big hair was the look of the night whether bundled on top of the head or flowing down the back.

Thankfully, there were a few fashion faux pas to keep things interesting. Socialite Brynne Gordon’s tutu-esq dress raised some eyebrows, but you have to love someone who dares to be different. Actress Claudia Karvan also attracted a fair amount of attention thanks to an unfortunate nipple slip.

But, for the most part, television’s elite looked gorgeous and glamorous. So who do you think was best-dressed? Share your thoughts on the Logie fashion!

High Intensity Discharge Lamps are a type of electrical gas-discharge lamp - creating light by passing a current through a gas – much like a fluorescent light. However, as the name implies, High-Intensity Discharge lamps are much brighter and produce a much higher lumen than fluorescents, best used in areas where bright light is needed, such as warehouses, car headlights, streetlamps, stadiums and factories.

How do They Work?

HID Lamp technology works by filling an arc tube with gas, which also contains a metal or metal salt such as argon or mercury, and running an electric arc through between two tungsten electrodes. This arc heats the metal salts within and produces an intense light.

This process of heating the metal salts can take several minutes and is the reason HID lights can take several minutes to reach full lumen output after being turned on.

HIDs are more efficient than both halogen and incandescent lighting.

This family of lights has three main subtypes – the Metal Halide, the High-Pressure Sodium Light, and Mercury Vapour Lamps.

Metal Halide

Metal halide lamps, also called MH Lamps, are known for producing high Lumen with a high CRI. While this reduces it's efficiency slightly, it's still one of the favorites of the HID family. These lamps come with a slightly higher price tag compared to the other lamps.

Ceramic MH

Crematic Metal Halide are a newer type of Metal Halide and are 10 – 20 % more efficient than common quartz metal technology. This makes then equal with HPS lamps in longevity. So, although their starting price is higher than other HID lamps on the market, CMH will save you more in the long run.

Additionally, CMH has the highest CRI of any HID lamp, coming out to 90-92 CRI, making them ideal for areas where strong colour rendering is required.

High-Pressure Sodium Lights

High-Pressure Sodium Lights (HPS) are another light in the high-intensity discharge (HID) family, along with Mercury Vapour and Metal Halide lamps. HPS lamps have a very low CRI, but a very high lumen per wattage. HPS are best used in places where colour quality is not important - and are commonly used for indoor gardening, as well as warehouse and streetlamp lighting. The produce a warm yellow/orange colour.

Mercury Vapour Lamps

Mercury Vapour Lamps are the oldest in the HID family, and as the name suggests, use vaporized mercury to produce light. These lamps have a high lux output and are cheap to install and buy compared to Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium lamps. In the past, they were commonly used for street lights and high-bay lighting. However, these days they are slowly being phased out, and in Australia, Mercury Vapour Lamps may not meet the lumen requirements for warehouse spaces. They have a greenish tinge to their light.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

In case you’re looking to splurge on an amazing new lipstick, there is one that you really need. I’ve been on the hunt for a nice bright color, purchased a ton of drugstore ones and never was happy with any of them (I do have plenty “nude” colors from drugstore I do like).

And then I came across one that changed my life (ok, it didn’t really change my life).

I found it when I was in Chicago a while back and never did I think that I would wear a “bright” color this much (one of the best impulse purchases I’ve made). It’s bright but not-in-your-face-bright (a little can go a long way) which makes it perfect for everyday wear, especially during Summer months.  And this is coming from someone whose entire lipstick collection includes nudes and light pink colors. It feels amazing on and it lasts (which I would except from a pricier lipstick).

Bottom line: you need it in your life!  I think this one would look flattering on everyone.

Happy Monday!

Rev Charles Martin (Village People)

After five years at Lindfield United Reformed Church (URC) Rev Charles Martin has retired from the ministry and will move to Essex this month.

Charles first had an association with the church ten years ago when he was appointed as Interim Moderator to the congregation in the period after Rev Norman Smith moved on and they didn’t have a minister of their own. However that was a ‘caretaker’ role and it wasn’t until Charles was 60 – and minister in Beaconsfield – that he was asked to consider taking the job at Lindfield. He agreed on the proviso that the church seek to appoint a Youth Pastor. “I was very aware of my age and knew I couldn’t accept the position without that kind of staff support,” Charles explained.

Charles Martin was born in Lambeth and so confesses to be a ‘cockney’ at heart! But he knew he was to work for God from a very early age. “The thought really crystallised while I was at boarding school when I was 13 as I led the Christian Union with my friend (David Hayden, former Archdeacon of Norfolk). Although my mother had ‘struck a deal with God’ when she prayed earnestly for a son following the untimely death of my brother a year before I was born.”

The year of Swann

The year of Swann

In 2000, when he made his debut, Graeme Swann played just one One Day International (ODI) match in England’s tour of South Africa, but still managed to make quite a name for himself—by oversleeping and missing the team bus.

Also See Swann in 2010 (PDF)

Swann made an impressive start against Sri Lanka in the one-day series, followed it up with a solid Test debut against India in December 2008, and took his maiden five-wicket haul against West Indies in February 2009 to cement his place in the English squad. He played a crucial role with both bat and ball to help England win the Ashes in 2009.

But it was on a tour to South Africa in November 2009 that Swann really came into his own. He picked up five wickets in the first innings of the first Test, and nine in the second Test to earn man-of-the-match awards for both. By the end of the year, he was sitting comfortably behind Mitchell Johnson in the highest wicket-takers’ list in Tests.

This year, Swann has been the pivot for England’s revival in cricket—in Tests, ODIs and Twenty20. He finished as the highest wicket-taker in the 2010 World Twenty20 Championship, which England won. More recently, Swann bowled England to victory in the second Ashes Test, picking up five for 91 in the second innings to give his country a 1-0 lead in the series. As England and Australia head into their third Test, Swann already tops the 2010 wicket-takers’ list in Tests with 60 wickets, 12 more than second-placed English fast bowler James Anderson.

Now when was the last time an English spinner did that?

Gujarat Pipavav Port makes splashing BSE debut

Gujarat Pipavav Port makes splashing BSE debut

Mumbai: Indian port operator Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd on Thursday surged 22% on debut on the BSE as investors cheered its Danish pedigree and reasonable valuation.

Shares of Gujarat Pipavav were trading at Rs53.8, about 17% higher than the issue price in a firm Mumbai market, easing from a high of Rs58.4, a 27% jump.

The company, run by Danish shipping and oil conglomerate A P Moller-Maersk which owns 43%, raised about Rs500 crore in its IPO, which was subscribed 19.5 times.

“The company has probably the best credentials and parent in the world," Arun Kejriwal, director of research firm KRIS, said, “A P Moller is today the authority in shipping so the pedigree is excellent."

Gujarat Pipavav had a stellar debut as the offering was reasonably priced, he added.

Gujarat Pipavav plans to use about 60% of the proceeds to reduce its debt of Rs1,075 crore, while another 150 crore will be for expansion projects, managing director Prakash Tulsiani told reporters.

The company is growing faster than the market as container trade grew at 64%, outpacing the industry growth of 22% in the January-June period, Tulsiani said.

Its parent A P Moller owns Maersk Line, the world’s biggest container shipping company.Tulsiani said Gujarat Pipavav is on track to achieve Ebitda margins of about 55 to 60%, the industry average.

“Gujarat Pipavav comes off a low base compared to some established ports and to that extent the growth should command a premium," Angel Broking, which had a ‘subscribe’ rating to the IPO, said in a client note.

Gujarat Pipavav also plans to set up port infrastructure on 1,000 acres (405 hectares) of land leased from the state government, its chief financial officer Hariharan Iyer said.

The $106 million Gujarat Pipavav share sale was managed by Kotak Mahindra Capital, IDFC Capital and IDBI Capital.

If any solution to the European crisis proposed over the next few days is to restore confidence to the sovereign bond markets, it will have to be both economically viable and politically palatable to rescuers and rescued alike. This means paying attention not just to the plan’s technical details, but also to appearances.

There is growing consensus about any solution’s key elements. First, Italy and Spain will have to come up with credible medium-term plans that will not just restore their fiscal health, but also improve their ability to grow their way out of trouble. While any plan will involve pain for citizens, the markets must deem the pain politically tolerable, at least relative to the alternatives.

Second, some vehicle—IMF or the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), with either entity funded directly by countries or the European Central Bank—has to stand ready to fund borrowing by Italy, Spain and any other potentially distressed countries over the next year or two. But there is an important caveat, which has largely been ignored in public discussions: if this funding is senior to private debt (as IMF funding typically is), it will be harder for these countries to regain access to markets. After all, the more a country borrows in the short term from official sources, the further back in line it pushes private creditors. That makes private lenders susceptible to larger haircuts if the country eventually defaults—and thus more hesitant to lend in the first place.

In other words, private markets need to be convinced both that there is a low probability of default (hence the importance of credible plans), and that there is some additional loss-bearing capacity in the new funding, so that, if there is a default, outstanding or rolled-over private debt does not have to bear the full brunt.

This may seem unfair. Why should taxpayers accept a loss when they are bailing out the private sector by providing new funding? In an ideal world, distressed countries would default as soon as private markets stopped funding them, and they would impose the losses on private bondholders. In the real world, however, if Italy and Spain are viewed as being solvent, or too big to fail, official funding should be structured so that it gives these countries their best chance to regain market confidence.

This does not mean that official funding should be junior to private debt in any restructuring, for that would require substantially more loss-bearing capacity from the official sector—capacity that is probably not available. Indeed, if official funding was junior, it would be providing a larger cushion to private creditors—and thus bailing them out to an even greater extent.

The simplest solution is to treat official funding no differently from private debt—best achieved if official lenders buy sovereign bonds as they are issued (possibly at a predetermined yield) and agree to be treated on a par with private creditors in a restructuring. As the country regains market confidence, the official funding can be reduced, and eventually the bonds can be sold back to the markets.

The bottom line is that official funding must be accompanied by loss-bearing capacity. If the funding is channelled through IMF, and is to be treated on a par with private debt, IMF will need a guarantee from EFSF, or strong euro zone countries, that it will be indemnified in any restructuring. Of course, IMF’s member states might be willing to accept some burden-sharing if a sufficient buffer provided by the euro zone were eroded, but that cannot be taken for granted.

Once the first two elements of the plan are in place, there should be little need for the third—bond purchases by ECB in the secondary market in order to narrow interest-rate spreads and provide further confidence. Indeed, if ECB intends to claim preferred-creditor status for any bonds that it buys, it is probably best that it buyvery few. Of course, ECB will have to continue to provide support to banks until confidence about their holdings returns.

But there is one more element that is needed to assure markets that the solution is politically viable. Citizens across Europe, whether in rescued countries or rescuing countries, will be paying for years to clean up a mess for which they were not responsible. Not all banks voluntarily loaded up on distressed government bonds—some were pressured by supervisors, others by governments—but many have made unwise bets. If they are seen as profiting unduly from the rescue, even as they return to their bad old ways of paying for non-performance, they will undermine political support for the rescue— and perhaps even for capitalism.

So a final element of the package ought to be a monitored pledge by euro zone banks that they will not unload bonds as the official sector steps in; that they will raise capital over time instead of continuing to deleverage (if this hurts bank equity holders, they should think of this as burden-sharing); and that they will be circumspect about banker bonuses until economies start growing strongly again. Cries that this is not capitalism should be met with a firm retort: “Nor are bailouts!"

Jaguars vs Chiefs Week Five Inactives: Herndon Out, Meeks In

The Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs have released their inactive reports ahead of their week matchup at Arrowhead Stadium. On Wednesday the Jaguars ruled out Nickelback D.J. Hayden and Running back Leonard Fournette. Going into the week there was also question about Guard Andrew Norwell and Center Brandon Linder, however, on Friday both players were taken off the injury report, and will play today.

Rookie Cornerback Tre Herndon was also added to the injury list with a hamstring injury and as a result of that Rookie Cornerback Quenton Meeks was elevated to the 53-man roster. Receiver Rashad Greene was released as a corresponding move.

Here are this weeks inactives:

Jacksonville Jaguars:

Kansas City Chiefs:

For the Jaguars Tre Herndon is the only player besides Fournette and Hayden who is inactive which raises an eyebrow because he has been active for every game this season. Rookie Quenton Meeks will make his NFL debut.

For the Chiefs, they are once again without Safety Eric Berry which is huge for the Jaguars against an already weak Chiefs secondary and defense. Wide Receiver Sammy Watkins and Outside Linebacker Dee Ford are active today. There was speculation early that Watkins (Hamstring) might not be able to go today. Ford was never really thought to be out with a groin injury.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have extended Kicker Josh Lambo’s contract according to John Reid of Lambo was set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season. Lambo was originally signed during the Jaguars 2017 season after giving up on Jason Myers.

Lambo has excelled greatly in Jacksonville. In 2017, Lambo missed only one field goal and two extra points. Last season Lambo missed only two field goals and one extra point. It is safe to say that the contract extension was well deserved.

It is not currently known the terms of Lambo’s contract. We will update this story as more information becomes available.

Josh Lambo has confirmed the extension was for four years.

Lambo was signed to a four-year $15.5M contract with $6.5M in full guarantees.

2019 NFL Draft: Locked On Jaguars Mock Draft 1.0

The 2018 NFL season is officially over, and the draft order has been set. Although free agency is a very popular topic, the NFL draft is arguably more popular, and what a better way to express that than yet another mock draft?

While there will be many Jaguars-centric mock drafts from this website, we decided to take a crack at the entirety of the first round with the majority of our contributors. We split up the mock draft in seven parts with each person getting 4-5 picks.

Prior to the draft, we decided to change it up a little by including no trades in the draft itself, however, we did have one pre-draft trade. The Arizona Cardinals sent Josh Rosen to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for their first round pick (15th overall).

So without further adieu, I present to you the Locked On Jaguars Mock Draft 1.0:

1. Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma

Christopher Thornton: Let’s blow the roof off this [redacted] place.

2. San Francisco 49ers: Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio State

Zach Goodall: Duh.

3. New York Jets: Josh Allen, EDGE, UK

Noah Thomas: Allen is probably the second-best edge rusher after Bosa, and it is only fitting he goes one pick later.

4. Oakland Raiders: Brian Burns, EDGE, FSU

Zak Dewitt: The Raiders desperately need a pass rushing presence off of the edge after getting rid of Mack last year. Burns provides elite bend at that position.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama

Demetrius Harvey: The Buccaneers took a defensive tackle in the first round last year, and they will quite possibly do so again this year if Williams falls to them. He possesses incredible strength in the interior to hold up against the run and provides a more than adequate pass rush to boot. He’s a slam dunk pick for the Bucs considering their situation with Gerald McCoy who is a potential cap casualty this offseason.

6. New York Giants: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State

Ruairi Songer: As much as I would like Haskins to fall to the Jaguars, I just don’t think the Giants would let that happen without the Jaguars having to trade up. Haskins is a very efficient pocket passer, who would be an immediate upgrade over an aging Eli Manning. This will also allow the Giants to fully utilize weapons such as Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: T.J Hockenson, TE, Iowa

Dylan Goldman: I know this pick might not be the “sexy” pick, but without the two best QBs in the draft available, the Jaguars can plug another vacant hole here. Hockenson can fill the void left by Austin Seferian-Jenkins (if they do not pick up his option) at an already weak position for the Jags.

8. Detroit Lions: Jachai Polite, EDGE, UF

Christopher Thornton: Detroit lands one of the best edge rushers in the class to finally give them a longterm edge rusher with Ansah likely gone in free agency.

9. Buffalo Bills: N’Keal Harry, WR, ASU

Zach Goodall: The Buffalo Bills badly need to add weapons for second-year QB Josh Allen. While D.K Metcalf is widely viewed as WR1, he is fresh off of a neck injury that could move him down draft boards. Harry provides excellent size at 6-4, and athleticism to win contested matchups and create yards after the catch in the short game.

10. Denver Broncos: Drew Lock, QB, Missouri

Noah Thomas: Everyone seems to be placing Lock and Elway together in a marriage. This pick is a little bit of dot connecting and need. Drew Lock is likely the third QB picked regardless.

11. Cincinnati Bengals: Devin White, LB, LSU

Zak Dewitt: With the Bengals looking to move on from Burfict, they desperately need a hard hitter in the middle and White will do well in today’s NFL.

12. Green Bay Packers: Montez Sweat, EDGE, Mississippi State

Demetrius Harvey: Montez Sweat might have improved his draft stock tremendously at the senior bowl, and what better of a team to draft him than the Packers. For years they have lacked an edge rusher to match the production of Clay Matthews and now that Matthews is getting a little older, it is time for them to invest.

13. Miami Dolphins: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

Ruairi Songer: Greedy Williams would be an excellent addition to a rapidly maturing Dolphins secondary. Adding Williams would allow the Dolphins to have more flexibility with Minkah Fitzpatrick, and would give Xavien Howard a dynamic counterpart.

14. Atlanta Falcons: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston

Dylan Goldman: Ed Oliver is a physical freak, who Atlanta would be lucky to get and plug their hole at defensive tackle.

15. Arizona Cardinals (via WAS): Jonah Williams, LT, Alabama

Christopher Thornton: Arizona’s OL was a mess for Rosen and the Cardinals offense last year. Now, after drafting another QB top 5, they look to actually protect him and get a line for David Johnson. Williams comes in and starts day one at either left tackle or left guard.

16. Carolina Panthers: Dalton Risner, OL, Kansas State

Zach Goodall: Panthers badly need to address their offensive line, across the board. Risner is a durable, experienced offensive lineman who can play center, right guard, and right tackle and is relatively scheme universal.

17. Cleveland Browns: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington

Noah Thomas: Byron Murphy would be an excellent pairing with Denzel Ward. The Browns can afford this luxury after finally getting their quarterback last year.

18. Minnesota Vikings: Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma

Zak Dewitt: The Vikings will likely run the ball more in 2019 and Cousins needs a good OL to prosper. Ford gives them a great right tackle that could play guard if needed.

19. Tennessee Titans: Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson

Demetrius Harvey: Mullen is the type of cornerback to perfectly fit in with Mike Vabrel and the Tennessee Titans defense. He offers enough length and physicality to match up against big corners and enough quickness in the short area to match the quick-twitch receivers in the AFC South.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia

Ruairi Songer: The Pittsburgh secondary desperately needs help, and luckily for them, Baker falls right into their lap at pick 20. Baker isn’t the flashiest corner, but he is technically refined and does a good job at diagnosing routes. His lack of athleticism is extremely exaggerated, as he should test as a middle of the road athlete. Baker should be able to contribute right away and should be a solid starter for years to come.

21. Seattle Seahawks: Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson

Dylan Goldman: The Seahawks need to keep rebuilding their ever-changing defense, and Lawrence –who was a huge part of Clemson’s dynamic defense over the past few years– could really help them.

22. Baltimore Ravens: D.K Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss

Christopher Thornton: It seems the Ravens have been chasing that elusive WR1 for years now and they might *finally* find their man. D.K Metcalf is my WR1 and the Ravens front office should be sprinting to the podium if Metcalf is there at 22.

23. Houston Texans: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida

Zach Goodall: Much like my Carolina pick, Houston might need OL more than any team in this draft to protect Deshaun Watson. Taylor is a highly athletic right tackle who improved drastically this past season at UF, and he can take over right tackle duties as Kendall Lamm’s contract is up. Lamm also allowed the 2nd most pressures across the Texans OL in 2018.

24. Oakland Raiders: Daniel Jones, QB, Duke

Noah Thomas: Daniel Jones has to go somewhere, and Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden seemed to be very impressed with the Duke alum during the senior bowl. If the Raiders decide to get rid of Carr soon, they need someone to take over. Having three first round picks doesn’t hurt either.

25. Philidelphia Eagles: Jeffery Simmons, iDL, Mississipi State

Zak Dewitt: The bread and butter of the Eagles defense the past couple of years has been their defensive line. They add a top 10 prospect who just happens to play a “devalued” position.

26. Indianapolis Colts: Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State

Demetrius Harvey: Besides T.Y. Hilton, the Colts have basically nobody at receiver. Butler’s stocks have been rising throughout the league, and the Colts would be pleasantly surprised if he fell to them at 26. Butler offers the size and catch radius to be Luck’s go-to receiver and complements Hilton’s quickness very well.

27. Oakland Raiders: Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma

Ruairi Songer: The lifeless Oakland Raiders offense is in need of some playmaking wide receivers, and Jordy Nelson, Marcell Ateman, and Brandon LaFell won’t cut it. Enter Marquise Brown, the electrifying speedster out of Oklahoma, and cousin of NFL superstar Antonio Brown. Marquise is an impressive route runner, and possess elite speed and acceleration. If small size doesn’t impede his NFL development, he should be able to become a playmaker for Derek Carr (or any Quarterback) and company immediately.

28. Los Angelas Chargers: Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama

Dylan Goldman: Mack Wilson was an integral part of Alabama’s dominant defense in 2017 and 2018, and Wilson is an intriguing player to help bolster old friend Gus Bradley’s defense in Los Angelas.

29. Kansas City Chiefs: Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama

Christopher Thornton: The Chiefs had one of the worst secondaries in the NFL last year, somewhat neutralizing the powerhouse of an offense they had at times. Thompson is an athletic pure safety that should fill in beautifully next to FS Eric Berry if he ever returns to his old self.

30. Green Bay Packers: Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College

Zach Goodall: I can’t stop lovin’ on this OL class. Aaron Rodgers should bounce back with an innovative offensive mind in Matt LaFleur as head coach, but he needs two new guards to give him time to throw. Lindstrom is the best pure guard in this class.

31. Los Angelas Rams: Jalen Jelks, DE, Oregon

Noah Thomas: Jalen Jelks is a project, but given how his senior bowl went, he could easily be the guy who makes it to the bottom of round one. He brings a versatility to the Rams defensive line which will need to be revamped given their salary cap situation coming up.

32. New England Patriots: Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson

Zak Dewitt: Ferrell will give the Patriots a solid rusher off the edge who will allow them to still be creative with their defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars should pursue running back Le’Veon Bell in free agency

Zach Goodall

The Jacksonville Jaguars enter the 2019 offseason needing to address virtually every position along the offensive side of their roster. Not every position necessarily needs a new starter, but after what was an abysmal offensive showing during the entirety of the 2018 season, nothing should be ruled out.

In which case, how about totally canning the Leonard Fournette experiment at running back and making a huge, unexpected free agency splash in targeting former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell?

It sounds really crazy at first, and many fans would hate the idea of giving up on the former 4th overall pick so quickly, but when you connect some dots and really think about the idea, it can make sense.

With the quarterback position being the biggest need this offseason, the idea of chasing Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles in either free agency or via trade is popular amongst Jaguars fans and media alike. He’s a former Super Bowl MVP who has filled in and won games when starter Carson Wentz went out with injuries. As former Jaguars and current Eagles beat writer Mike Kaye wrote on the Foles/Jaguars rumors the other day, “Foles would be the biggest celebrity in the city once he put pen to paper, even with All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey on the roster”.

However, acquiring Foles will not be cheap, and comes with a lot of risks. Sure, he played some of his best football under new Jaguars offensive coordinator and former Eagles QB coach John DeFilippo, but he’s a bit of a journeyman who’s had an up-and-down career as a whole. His first three years in Philadelphia provided flashes, including a 27 touchdown and two interception sophomore season, with 2891 passing yards and a 64% completion percentage in 13 games. However, he was traded to the St. Louis Rams after his third year with the Eagles after throwing 10 interceptions in eight games and going on the injured reserve with a broken collarbone in Week 9.

Foles looked no better in one season with the Rams than he did the year prior, throwing only seven TDs and 10 INTs in 11 games, then requesting to be released after the Rams traded up and selected QB Jared Goff with the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent the 2016 season as Alex Smith’s backup with the Kansas City Chiefs, starting one game against the Jaguars where he threw for 187 yards and a TD. Foles made his way back to Philadelphia as Wentz’s backup, and the rest is history: He’s thrown for 1950 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 games filling in for Wentz, and won the Super Bowl 52 MVP Award.

While recency bias would say Foles is a prime candidate for the Jaguars starting QB job, his shaky career history should keep Jacksonville from breaking the bank on the 30 year old signal-caller. And as mentioned previously, he’s going to be expensive. Reports broke after he bought out his team-option that the Eagles were planning on franchise tagging Foles in order to trade him away before free agency. That provides a ton of risk for Philadelphia if no team is willing to pay his franchise tag price plus trade away assets for Foles, as the tag is projected at $25 million in 2019 for quarterbacks and the Eagles reportedly are asking for a third round pick in return for Foles services.

Considering the Jaguars are currently projected to be $4,316,311 under the cap, and have so many needs on offense, it doesn’t make much sense to spend that much on a 30 year old quarterback who’s never consistently played well as a starter in the NFL.

However, the Jaguars are going to be trimming fat anyway this offseason to get into a better position with cap space. Whether it’s to go after Foles or not, the team is expected to release players such as defensive tackle Malik Jackson (clearing $11 million in cap space), right tackle Jermey Parnell ($6 million), tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins ($4,328,125), running back Carlos Hyde ($4.7 million) and possibly more to get back “into the green” and be able to sign/extend players.

So, if the Jaguars are to create a bunch of cap space, chances are they’ll spend some to improve the team. But instead of going after a somewhat inconsistent and expensive quarterback, why not utilize that money on other positions and draft a young franchise quarterback instead?

Why not go after running back Le’Veon Bell?

The Jaguars are in limbo at running back, more than fans are willing to admit. Starting running back Leonard Fournette has missed 11 games in his first two seasons from a mix of lower body injuries (which were a red flag for the LSU product before he was drafted) and suspensions. When he was actually on the field, he averaged a mere 3.7 yards per carry and only 740 rushing ards per season. The team waived his guarantees in his contract following the 2018 season for his behavior – he now has to earn every penny on his originally fully-guaranteed rookie deal. In all honesty, his situation has become a real headache, and the team has the ability to move on from his deal easier now than before his guarantees were waived.

The No. 2 RB T.J. Yeldon, who played well in place of Fournette during the 11 games he has missed, won’t be returning to the team as things stand. His rookie contract is up, and he will likely cash in on the free agency market beyond what the Jaguars would be able to pay him for his No. 2 role. A team will pay him to be their starter after he averaged 5.7 yards per touch and scored five total touchdowns in a reserve role in 2018. Also, his “liked” tweets on Twitter are pretty damning:

The Jaguars could easily shake up their RB room this offseason, and Le’Veon Bell could come in and provide elite ability not only as a runner but as a receiver and pass blocker – he’s arguably the best all-around running back the NFL has seen in recent history. He sat out the entire 2018 season due to contract issues, but he had back-to-back 1200 rushing yard seasons in 2016-17, with 16 rushing touchdowns and averaging 4.45 yards per carry. On top of that, Bell caught 160 passes for 1271 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He literally had the 10th most receptions in the NFL in 2018 (85), among wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs. That’s insane.

Le’Veon Bell would walk into Jacksonville as one of the team’s best running backs in franchise history. Obviously, he’d be behind Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew, but he’s far ahead of the team’s third all-time leading rusher James Stewart by almost 3000 rushing yards. In only two more career games.

Let’s get down to the money: Bell sat out during the 2018 season because he demanded high guarantees in his next long-term contract, as well as being the highest-paid RB in the league – but the Steelers wouldn’t give him what he wanted. Here’s a quote from his agent that makes Bell’s demands appear well-thought out:

“The Steelers have a unique way of structuring deals,” Bakari said. “These contracts are not fully guaranteed. Le’Veon plays a position that has one of the shortest lifespans in the league. We have to focus on the guarantee. It’s safe to say he’ll get a guarantee [as a free agent] that is more traditional, and he’ll be protected for the balance of his career.”

Based on these statements and how running backs are currently paid, Bell is in line to make a boat-load this offseason. Todd Gurley, the NFL’s highest paid RB, averages $14.3 million a year on his new deal with $45 million in guarantees, including a $21 million signing bonus.

So, one should expect Bell to come in around $14.5 million a year with frontloaded guarantees. My personal projection: Five years, $72.5 million, with $50 million in guarantees spread out over the first three years of the deal, and a large signing bonus around $20 million to knock out 40% of the guarantees. And if the Jaguars release the players stated above, and perhaps a couple of others, they could afford this – in fact, he’d be cheaper than Nick Foles on a year-to-year basis from all angles.

This type of move would be an earthquake across the NFL, but while it seems crazy, it could reap benefits. The Jaguars would hold onto the draft pick they’d have to send to the Eagles for Foles, and save an average of about $10 million in contract value per year (before guarantees factor in). In doing so, the Jaguars would land one of the leagues best running backs and a player who puts up top-20 production as a receiver, all in one, while holding onto funds to pay players such as cornerback Jalen Ramsey and defensive end Yannick Ngakoue down the line.

In this situation, it would become clear the Jaguars would want to draft their own quarterback, and Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins would make sense. The Jaguars would likely have to trade up for Haskins, with the 4th overall pick being the sweet spot in order to not give up many assets and still solidify themselves above other quarterback-needy teams, but trading up in the draft to land a quarterback on the slotted-rookie contract (which would be around $7-8 million a year) makes a lot more sense than trading away assets to pay an inconsistent QB $25 million a year.

And for Fournette, it’s safe to assume he’d be traded away in this situation. While he could net the Jaguars something like a late third round/early fourth round pick, it’d be interesting to see if they could package him into the draft-day trade up for a quarterback. But if not, at least they can regain some draft day value by shipping him away and continue to address the offense.

Imagine a Jaguars offense with Dwayne Haskins under center, and Le’Veon Bell handling not only running back duties, but providing a legitimate receiving option for the young quarterback? Plus whoever else they draft, as well  as in-house weapons such as Dede Westbrook and second-year WR D.J. Chark.

It’s far-fetched, and these moves would take the entire NFL by storm, but this would be a fantastic way to fix the Jaguars offensive woes heading into the 2019 season, while also saving more money than what it would take to pay Nick Foles.

In the narrow Thermopylae, in Spain's skies, they flew, as men possessed. When the Republican Aviators surrendered to Franco, the fascists stripped off their warm flying suits, often leaving them in underwear. Franco shot many, and froze and starved the rest in his prisons. No one told their story in more than 60 years. After the Civil War, Franco shot a quarter of a million of the helpless, unarmed "riff raff." Many dragged out of their homes, from their wives and children. In the last fifteen years, much of Spain has become middle-class. When International Volunteers - now mostly in their 90s - come on visits, they love to play up their vulgarity; tipping glasses of their urine onto Franco's tomb, and whatever. Franco vilified the aviators as illiterate scum. To go to France or Russia to train, they had to pass high level maths for navigation. Franco "obliterated" his war in the air; he expunged the Republican Aviators from history. Franco glorified and trumpeted his land war. Those Republican Aviators who Franco had banished, had razed from history for more than 60 years, step back into history with this book. And with them, the unbearably poignant story of Dawn Spencer, a young Australian newspaper-woman, with her life of overwhelming emotions. Stevens created this beautiful young woman for her to tell, day by day, of the Aviators' lives - opening up a new dimension, a rich human tapestry. With cloth and wood, They hurled down the mountains of the skies. Oh just see those Aviators fly

All Green Toys are Made in the USA, California to be exact, from 100% Recycled milk jugs! These milk jugs are reprocessed into an ultra-clean new plastic called high-density polyethylene which is considered to be one of the safest and cleanest plastics on Earth. Products made by Green Toys contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates, PVC or BPA. They are also designed without any external coatings, so parents don't have to worry about products chipping or peeling from wear and tear. Green Toys can even be washed in the dishwasher and meet all FDA standards for food contact plastics. When shipped, all products are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes printed with Soy inks that contain no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. When shopping for sustainable and Eco-friendly toys, look no further, no one does it better than Green Toys!
