Celebrating Garifuna heritage and culture

Share on TwitterTweet

Don’t miss our updates:

The 2012 Garifuna Heritage Awards & Cultural Night on Sept. 15 at Lehman College in the Bronx brought together an array of incredible Garifuna talent while recognizing strong contributors to the Garifuna community.

Evening performances began with the Afro-Garifuna Jazz Ensemble that often performs at its home base at the Biko Center in Brooklyn.

Dance by the Afro-Garifuna Dance Ensemble followed, bringing to life the spirit of Garifuna culture. Mariano Martinez and Felix Gamboa choreographed the Ensemble, which combined four Garifuna dance groups for energetic and virtuosic performances.

Starting off with the festive dance of the Garifuna-Culio, the Ensemble then performed a dance interpretation –the first time in dance form– of an oral tradition story of Garifuna history, the story of Baruada.

The finale dance number, “Amunegu” (meaning, In Times To Come) by Andy Palacio, speaks to the importance of passing culture on to the next generation.

“This was a condensed version of all the Garifuna music genres and dance,” said musician James Lovell, exhilarated by the evening. “It was uplifting to see these arts presented in such a professional manner, ” adding, “It is a renaissance of Garifuna pride.”

Also on the program, a Bronxnet video, produced at the public access studios at Lehman College, shared interviews by Garifuna youth from the Lirahunu Chatoyer Youth Leadership Development Program with members of the community.

The Leadership Program conducted by the Garifuna Coalition USA is for youth ages 15-19 and is a 15-week series that concentrates on culture, career development and helps provide internships. A recently awarded grant to the Garifuna Coalition from the Simon Bolivar Foundations’ Bronx Social Program and Councilmember Maria del Carmen Arroyo will help fund the second cycle of the 15-week program.

Among those honored during the evening were attorney Martin Munitz, Bronxnet director Michael Max Knobbe, Garifuna app. Developer Jorge Garifuna and Arturo Martinez of La Voz de Honduras.

The production celebrated UNESCO’s proclamation of Garifuna language, dance and music as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangibles Heritage of Humanity” as well as “The Drama of King Shotaway,” a play by William Henry Brown, recognized as the first black drama of the American theatre, which has as its subject the 1795 Black Caribs defense of the island of St. Vincent by the Paramount Chief Joseph Chatoyer.

Carpet Damage by Cat

Cats can do a lot of damage to carpet. Making a mess once in a while is one thing and be taken care of, But when you have a cat in the house that has urges to scratch, well now you have potential for some real damage. The cat who got bored one afternoon and tore up this carpet right at the edge, did so in just a few hours. The owner of this carpet is in luck because it is right on the edge and only took off about an inch of carpet, with a tight pull the carpet can be hooked back onto the tack strip, the extra carpet can be trimmed and it'll look like nothing ever happened. The other alternative if there is not enough carpet to stretch would be to add a transitional medium, such as an aluminum strip, more tile, or wood.

Carpet is not the only thing that a cat can damage, upholstery is also at high risk so keep your cat busy with things that it's okay to claw at and you'll find that it will have little interest in the things you want it not to claw, especially if the approved claw toys are doped with cat nip.

East Antrim urged to speak out on local policing

PSNI Supt. Darrin Jones.
PSNI Supt. Darrin Jones.

The views of East Antrim residents are being requested for a public consultation on the future of local policing.

A series of information sessions are being held across Northern Ireland by the PSNI and Policing Board.

Ald. Gregg McKeen.

Ald. Gregg McKeen.

For Mid and East Antrim, this will take place at The Braid in Ballymena, on September 26, at 7.30 pm.

In Newtownabbey, this will take place at the Linen Suite, at Mossley Mill, on October 17, from 7.00 pm until 9.00 pm.

Mid and East Antrim PCSP chair Cllr Paul Sinclair said: “It is really important that local communities have their say on what their policing priorities are and this is your chance to shape how things are delivered in the future.

Meanwhile, DUP councillor Ald Gregg McKeen has voiced concern over the allocation of senior officers.

He said: “I am hugely concerned that our District Commander, Superintendent Darrin Jones, will be tasked with covering both Mid and East Antrim, and Antrim and Newtownabbey for the foreseeable future.

“I am very disappointed by the PSNI’s approach to this. This is no reflection on Supt Jones or his officers in any way, or their abilities. What I am questioning is how the senior officer for Mid and East Antrim can be shared with another area, and how we will lose out as a result.”

Chief Supt. Simon Walls commented: “Council chief executives and chairs of Police and Community Safety Partnerships were advised of some changes to District Commands in June 2018. They were told that these changes were temporary and would be resolved following promotion processes later in the year.”

Castillo de Canena presents its first Biodynamic olive oil with international certification

The fourth in their exclusive collection of oils from the 20th Century, “Aceites del siglo XXI” has just won the Gold Medal at the international Ecotrama Awards

  • The Biodynamic model is a return to the roots of rural toil, to archaeo-agriculture, taking the concept of organic farming to a higher level
  • This is a Picual varietal extra virgin olive oil, fresh, lively and expressive, whose hallmarks are notes of olive leaf, lettuce and artichoke
  • It will appear—in a limited quantity of 20,000 bottles—in countries such as United Kingdom, Germany, United States, Canada, South Korea and Japan
  • Its terracotta colour is reminiscent of that of the earth where the Vañó family Biodynamic olive trees are planted. The signature 500 ml bottle is serigraphed in white and green with a constellation of stars and the moon, representing the forces of both the cosmos and the earth itself

Castillo de Canena launches its first Biodynamic virgin extra olive oil, strengthening its commitment to elaborating extra virgin olive oils of the highest quality and to protecting the environment and olive groves. This Biodynamic extra virgin is certified by the International Association of Biodynamic Agriculture with the DEMETER label.

This new olive oil is part of their exclusive “Aceites del siglo XXI” collection and is elaborated in complete synthesis and harmony with the ecosystem, the natural habitat and the cosmos, taking the concept of ecological farming to a higher level. This oil of limited production has just received the Gold Medal at the last edition of the international EcoTrama Award, which recognises the best organic and biodynamic olive oils throughout the world.

From organic to Biodynamic

According to Francisco Vañó, Managing Director of Castillo de Canena, “Biodynamics means not only completely excluding synthetic pesticides in our farming but a total transformation of the environment in which we produce. We return to the very roots of rural activity. This is what we call archaeo-agriculture”.

In this sense, in addition to organic farming practices, Castillo de Canena has incorporated others, such as sheep grazing on the premises, made-on-site compost fertilizers rich in potassium and nitrogen, the enrichment of plant cover through the installation of honeycomb, biological pest control, eradication of fungus from olive leaves using silica (crushed quartz) instead of copper, and the application of different biodynamic preparations.

In this way, in the words of Francisco Vañó, “the Biodynamic concept entails reaching a perfect harmonious balance between the different forces that govern nature such as the seasons, atmospheric phenomena and lunar cycles, the habitat and farming tasks, which should not alter the natural surroundings that coexist in a farming area”.

To further this support for the Biodynamic farming concept, Castillo de Canena has also raised a forest of autochthonous species of trees such as oak, holm oak, black poplar and juniper around the olive groves to intensify the quality of a Mediterranean wood in which both “humanised forest” and “natural forest” coexist.

Moreover, the firm has introduced sheep grazing which, alongside the olive forest, aids in fixing the nutrients in a natural way, mitigates the loss of moisture and erosion, increases organic mulch on the ground and acts as a primary fungicide and insecticide, as it provides the natural habitat for olive tree predator pests (butterfly, worm, beetle, ladybird and birds).

“A biodynamic farm should be self-sufficient. It is fundamental that all by-products and waste resulting from farming go back into the earth, becoming life-producers,” states Francisco Vañó.

An iconic new extra virgin olive oil

With a limited issue of 20,000 units, the new Biodynamic olive oil will be on shelves in countries such as United Kingdom, Germany, United States, Canada, South Korea and Japan and will become the exclusive standard for consumers of high quality products, conscious of maximum care and respect for the environment.

In the opinion of Rosa Vañó, Director of Sales and Marketing at Castillo de Canena, “our first Biodynamic extra virgin olive oil is a Picual of special added value that will meet the standards of the most discerning consumers and has the plus of being highly innovative in terms of R&D”.

We can also see Castillo de Canena’s concern for sustainable farming in the project “La tierra para la tierra” (Earth for the Earth), which donates €1.00 (together with the Xabi Cabot Selles Foundation) for each bottle of new Biodynamic oil sold, to build water reservoirs and help the poorest farming areas in the world: Lake Turkana (Ethiopia and Kenya), through the Missionary Community of Saint Paul The Apostle.

“The Biodynamic olive oil stands out for its terracotta colour, reminiscent of the earth where our family Biodynamic olive trees are planted. The sandy texture of the bottle recalls the roots and origins of rural toil”, states Rosa
Vañó. The 500 ml bottle is cylindrical and features a constellation of stars and the moon serigraphed in white and green, symbolising the union of heaven and earth.

The herbal and vegetable bouquet prevails in this fresh, lively and expressive oil. Olive leaf, lettuce and artichoke appear as primary notes followed by fresh fruits, tomato vine and a heady hint of green banana and ripe apple. Both bitter and piquant are well balanced; and something somewhat astringent hints at artichoke, cardoon and persimmon. Persistent in the mouth.

Aceites del siglo XXI

“Aceites del siglo XXI” is a line that seeks to bring new features and fresh concepts to a category of products with over 3000 years of history. It unveils an entire sensorial experience for the palate, the opportunity to taste and enjoy innovative olive oils that will surprise you with their uniqueness and distinction, as well as their compliance with the utmost quality standards.

Following the first “Royal Temprano”; the second oil was launched, “La Cata Horizontal” (the same Arbequino varietal from the olives harvested across three consecutive months: October, November and December; and lastly, the third “Arbequino al Humo de Roble”.

Castillo de Canena

The Vañó olive growing history harkens back to 1780 and the family personally oversees the entire elaboration process of extra virgin olive oils from the cultivation of their own Picual, Arbequina and Royal varietal trees to the arrival of the product at the point of sale.

The firm, whose name comes from the family castle nestled on a hillside in the township of Canena (Jaén), has utmost respect for the environment. This commitment to sustainable development can be seen in the generation of photovoltaic energy on site, plant cover on the entire premises that mitigates soil erosion and preserves autochthonous vegetation, and the use of pruning waste biomass as ecologically sound, non-polluting fuel.

The firm currently has a presence in 40 countries such as United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, United States, Japan, China, Dubai, Mexico and Peru, where its extra virgin olive oils have been recognised with the highest international awards.

Castillo de Canena is member of EVA (Extra Virgin Alliance), premier international association of extra virgin olive oils whose aim is to promote and guarantee—through the most rigorous oversight and a common quality seal—excellence in the extraction and preservation of extra virgin olive oils along the entire distribution chain; as well as the sustainability and preservation of the olive grove ecosystem. EVA currently has producer members throughout the entire world:

Castillo de Canena also belongs to the Association of Grandes Pagos del Olivar, uniting the best Spanish extra virgin olive oil producers that opt for very limited quantity production of the highest quality, elaborated through methods that combine artisanal characteristics with the application of the most advanced technologies.

Do You Have a Cosmetic Patient Deterrent Department?

You are Here » Home » Blog » Do You Have a Cosmetic Patient Deterrent Department?

Some plastic surgery practices have staff that act like a cosmetic patient deterrent department.

It’s difficult to believe but your staff’s demeanor is getting almost as important as your surgical skills. Crazy!Your staff is as important as the surgery.

The social media world has changed everything. Patients now feel the need to share their every thought, experience (and meal) with everyone else.

This median has also given a voice to disgruntled patients. So rather than complain to you directly about shoddy service they may have received from your staff, they prefer to yell from the rooftops to anyone else who will listen.

BUT, before we discount all badmouthing, ask yourself, “could there be any truth to it?” Be honest:

  • Staff is as important as the surgery.Do you leave patients waiting too long in the reception area or the exam room?
  • Do you rush and not allow enough time for the patient to ask questions?
  • Do you change patients appointments to suit your own schedule?
  • Do you delay calling back patients who have more questions?

If so, here’s what you do…

Have a meeting with your staff, read the reviews to them and then open it up for discussion.

But don’t go back to the past.
Talk about the future.

How are each one of you going to improve the patient experience?
Better yet, do this exercise:

  • Think of one patient you all like… i.e., “Sue”
  • Have someone be “Sue” and have her walk through your entire patient experience from the time she calls all the way through to her post-op appointment.

One staff person “sees” Sue’s experience.
One staff person “feels” Sue’s experience.
One staff person “hears” Sue’s experience.

We are talking details here. Because the devil is always in the details. Cosmetic patients can be petty so dig into every touch point and find ways to perfect them for a 5-star experience.

Also display signage in the staff room to remind the staff how valuable they are to your success:

Patients don’t remember what you told them.
Patients don’t remember what you showed them.
But patients do remember how you made them feel.

“My day without data was a doomsday,” recalls Martina Häuser, a German mother of two children, who had the pleasure of two and a half weeks vacation in the United States.

Martina, her husband, their two children and her parents flew to Ohio to visit relatives courtesy of her parents. The holiday included a visit to Great Smoky Mountains National Park which nestles the states of North Carolina and Tennessee.

“On the way there I took many photographs including those of my children with the Indians, our American relatives, and their horses which were all unique moments that we will always remember. It was simply a dream,” says Martina.

During the second week of their vacation, the Häusers visited a friend of Martina’s mother in the state of Delaware. Everyone had a wonderful day at the seashore; however, a serious mishap occured. Martina had earlier photographed her children playing in the surf of the beach. While reviewing some of the photographs, Martina decided to delete one that had not turned out good.

“The sun was shining brightly and I accidentally set the camera to “delete all images” and then pressed the button,” recalls Martina. “I suddenly saw on the display that I had deleted all of the images.”

“How would I tell my daughter that the great pictures-those taken with the Indians, with the horses—were now all gone?”

Approximately 800 photographs had been taken and now, with one click, all had been deleted. Martina wondered, “How would I tell my daughter that the great pictures-those taken with the Indians, with the horses—were now all gone?”

Martina was not only upset about the loss of the holiday memories, but also about the loss of images of her elderly relatives whom her family would probably never have an opportunity to visit again.

Martina remembered that she had packed four memory cards. She removed the SD card from her camera, stored it safely and photographed the balance of the holiday with another memory card.

When Martina returned home, she thought there might be a possibility that the photographs were not lost. Martina remarked, “I wanted to leave no stone unturned.”

After an extensive internet search for data recovery service providers, Martina discovered online CBL’s German operations-CBL Datenrettung-and was delighted to learn CBL was located near her home in Kaiserlautern, a city which is home to the largest American military community outside the continental United States.

Martina called CBL’s toll free number and learned that the photos might be recoverable. Within half an hour, she was at CBL’s laboratory front counter where she personally presented the SD card to CBL personnel who performed the free evaluation of the media.

The following day Martina received an email message. Her holiday photographs had been successfully recovered.

Upon receiving the great news, Martina and her daughter promptly returned to CBL’s offices and received the CD containing the photographs. Anxious to view their priceless holiday memories, Martina inquired whether she and her daughter could view the photographs. CBL staff graciously obliged and escorted Martina and her daughter to a computer to view the photographs.

“You cannot imagine the weight lifted from my heart when I saw the photographs,” recalls Martina. “I was so happy that I almost cried and my daughter beamed with joy. The photographs were all there-the images of the Indians, the horses, the pictures taken at the beach. Fortunately, there was someone like the CBL Data Recovery.”

“This case illustrates that not only corporate data is valuable and worth saving,” commented Conrad Heinicke, lead technician at CBL’s Kaiserlautern laboratory, “Fortunately, the client had not continued to use the same smart card, so the data could be restored. If Mrs. Häuser had continued to use the same SD card, this story probably would not have had such a happy ending.”

- # –

Whether you are capturing holiday photographs overseas like Martina Häuser did or simply taking photographs of your family at home, CBL offers the following tips to prevent the loss of precisious digital memories:

  • Familiarize yourself with how your camera operates. Read the owner’s manual.
  • Do not change your viewing mode until your camera has processed and saved the image.
  • Do not eject your camera’s memory card while downloading photographs. Wait until your computer has successfully saved the images before you eject the card.
  • Once the memory card is no longer processing the images, properly eject the memory card from the card reader and safely disconnect the reader from your computer.
  • Do not store all images on one memory card. If you’re traveling, pack extra memory cards in your accessory bag.
  • Download your photographs as soon as possible.

If you have already downloaded your photographs to your personal computer or laptop,

  • Regularly backup your data and test the backup.
  • Update frequently the back-up media which stores your precious photographs and memories and, if possible, store your backups offsite.
  • Maintain your computer in a dry, controlled environment free from dust and smoke.
  • Use anti-virus software and update it frequently to scan and screen all incoming data.
  • Turn off your computer if it or the hard drive makes any unusual noise.
  • Use power surge protectors in the event you experience a power outage.
  • If you have loaded photographs to a laptop while travelling, protect your laptop in a secure, padded bag. Better still, put your photographs on a USB drive or CD that you can pack in your luggage or carry-on.

I’m 21 years old and know that premarital sex is wrong. I have kept my virginity until 19 years old but I started to “make out” and finally had sex. As a result, sometimes I would feel guilty or unsatisfied with myself. What do you think about premarital sex? Why should I stop now although I am not a virgin anymore? Is it too late?

A: You just touched on a topic that people our age, world-wide struggle with. Let me start by saying that it is never too late. God forgives us for our sins the moment we bring them to Him. The Bible says in 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” That doesn’t mean that all of your memories will disappear, or that you will never have to suffer any consequences for your actions, but it does mean that He forgets. We start with a clean slate that very moment. The thing is that most people have a hard time forgiving themselves. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins- for us not to accept that forgiveness means that His painful death was pointless. This does not give you a reason to keep on sinning, just because God will forgive you. He knows what your intentions are, and he knows when you are truly sorry.

That feeling that you get- the feelings of guilt and disgust with yourself is the Holy Spirit. God uses genuine guilt to stir our conscience when we act irresponsibly. Christians call this conviction, which alerts us to specific wrong actions that violate God’s best for our lives. The Holy Spirit’s job is to convict us of our sin. Guilt enters our lives when we resist His prompting and opt for our own desires. Sexual desires were placed in all of us, but when we cave in to them before the appropriate time, the Spirit lets us know with all of those negative feelings. You’ll also feel this distance between you and God. It’s because your sin has separated you from Him. God has given us free will, but if we make bad decisions with that freedom, it takes us out of the will of God. He no longer can help you, as you choose to live on your own. You can try to fill the emptiness inside with sex, drugs, or anger, but something will always be missing.

Not only is premarital sex biblically wrong, but it is dangerous. In the matter of minutes within a sexual encounter- your life can be cut short years. STD’s are not a myth- they exist. In Africa alone, more than 17 million have died from AIDS and another 25 million are infected with the HIV virus. Not only could you possibly infect yourself, but imagine if you or your partner got pregnant and passed this incredible disease onto a child.

No one ever said it would be easy, and my suggestion to you would be to set up some boundaries. You said that it all started with “making out”. If that is where you start to lose control, you need to cut it short way before then. This will have to be a life-changing decision, and you will not be able to do it on your own. Surround yourself with Godly friends that you can talk to, and make sure they will hold you accountable. Most importantly- talk to God! As long as you keep that communication going, He will give you strength!

Ultimately- you are a child of God, and He has given us sex as something to enjoy as husband and wife. Imagine how wonderful it will be to share all of yourself, without feeling any guilt or remorse. You also can feel better about yourself, knowing that you had enough respect for yourself, your future spouse, and God, to wait.

Siege: Loki

(Marvel Comics)

Jump from the Read Pile.

Wow. Sure, you can complain about a limited amount of action here (but what action does occur, wow, the real eternal death of gods and Loki in action as he's rarely been seen before), but the real value here is in the simple moments, as the title character stares down eastern European dictators and eternal demons, makes deals with the devil and yearns for the one thing so many have sought. "Freedom is the only thing worth anything," Loki said at one point, and to achieve it he would raze hell 'til the heavens fall. Riveting work from the makers of "Phonogram," Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, with the help of Nathan Fairbairn on colors.

Hellcyon #1

(Dark Horse Comics)

Jump from the Read Pile.

With the charm of a good Robotech story and the fast paced kineticism of a top-notch action movie, all from the mind and creative hands of Lucas Marangon. With a splash of Heinlein, a touch of "Genesis Climber MOSPEADA," a hint of "Akira" and a whole lotta gunfire, a ragtag group of miscreants and misfits who stand against the whole corporate/military establishment of humankind. With a bubblegum core and really well developed sci fi chops for clothing, this was a pleasant surprise. Can it keep it up? We'll see...

Fables #94

(Vertigo/DC Comics)

Who is Colin Piggy, really? This issue doesn't answer the question, but there's trouble on the farm as Pinochio's "parents" aren't happy to see each other. That part takes up a little more of the issue than it should, giving the surprisingly important dinner party at Wolf Manor and Ozma's explanation less room than they might have deserved. Still, the Dark Man got to show his stuff, The Beast made an interesting deal and for some reason a naked were-fox is happy to be on the loose. Interesting stuff in another "building steam" issue, but it satisfies nonetheless.

That's three very solid comic books there. Great start to the week.

Honorable Mentions: Stuff worth noting, even if it's not good enough to buy

Starting off in the "interesting idea, challenged execution" column, "Kill Shakespeare" #1 posits the idea of a world where Prince Hamlet and Richard The Third can exchange words and William Shakespeare is a mythical figure, part wizard and part threat to the English throne. The assemblage of characters is an interesting idea, but Hamlet took way too long to get anywhere interesting and the pacing could use a swift kick in the pants. Still, probably the most ambitious idea on the stands this week.

Dick Grayson isn't bad in the cowl as the Riddler comes to play in "Batman" #698. There's a trail of bodies and Grayson doesn't make the best detective in the world, which Eddie Nygma starts to figure out...but does he have enough time to put together the pieces? The mystery's not strong enough but the characters are, so this is worth watching if not buying.

"Black Widow" #1 has some interesting twirls of spycraft but ultimately spun its wheels too long. The coloring was a little dim, the focus of things strayed a bit from the very noirish opening sequence, the antagonist was a little on the Doctor Claw side, but the real emotions between Bucky and Natasha were there, as was the loyalty of her friends.

The Eisner-nominated "Chew" #10 had a really weird ending with pacing that felt a little uneven, but the bloodshed and surprises were what fans have come to expect and the connection of FDA agent Tony Chu with his journalistic love interest was well depicted.

Duke is deep, deep undercover in "G.I. Joe: Operation HISS" #3, but with everybody knowing his name, he has to go to some extraordinary lengths to avoid catching a bullet between the eyes. The last page is a bit of a surprise, but the build up is so slow that it's hard to even get there.

Missed the action in previous issues? "Human Target" #3 tosses in everything you could want with shooting and speedboats and spearguns, oh my! Sure, it was formulaic, right it had very little actual development of the plot, but the blowing up of stuff was fun.

Also in the "atmospheric but empty on content" column is the Samuel L. Jackson-inspired "Cold Space" #1, a gun-toting scoundrel in space with...well, his motivations aren't very clear...and what he's done to be wanted by the law in space...actually, there's not much of an idea about what's happening here, but it looked good.

"New Mutants" #12 has the old Xavier Academy gang going up against rabid mutant-hating soldiers under Cameron Hodge's command. The previous sentence was not teleported here from some time in the 90s, nor has it been suspended in some kind of time capsule. Not the kind from Apple. Anyhoo, let's move on...Cable and Hope are still running for their lives, which wasn't much different from every issue of "Cable," but there was less of it and the artwork looked really good.

The "Meh" Pile Not good enough to praise, not bad enough to insult, not important enough to say much more than the title

"Siege: Captain America" #1, "God Complex" #5, "Action Comics" #888, "Anchor" #7, "Ultimate Comics Enemy" #3, "A-Team War Stories: Face" #1, "Adventure Comics" #10, "Siege: Young Avengers" #1, "Star Trek: Leonard McCoy, Frontier Doctor" #1, "Batgirl" #9, "Daredevil" #506, "DMZ" #52, "Iron Man Legacy" #1, "Doc Savage" #1, 'Angelus" #3, "Powers" #4, "Flash" #1, "Irredeemable Special" #1, "Magog" #8 and "Savage Axe of Ares" #1.

No, just...no ... These comics? Not so much ...

"Brightest Day" #0 was less a comic book and more a series of trailers for comics you'll one day see. Oh, and Boston Brand brings small animals back to life. Let's move on.

It's time to stop with the Deadpool. Really. "Hulked Out Heroes" #1 has time traveling Hulkpool and Ben Grimm in an eyepatch. Those are not good things to know. Really. Once upon a time, Deadpool was one of the funniest, most consistent characters in comics. Now? Diluted. Really. There was barely a smirk in this issue, and Deadpool has to, has to, has to be funny, or he's just a kook who kills people. No need for Deadpool around the Hulk.

"Green Arrow" #32 was a whole lot of melodrama for virtually no result. Nothing that happened here can't be undone in two strokes of a keyboard. Blah blah blah, talk talk talk, whine whine whine...where's this all going? Not much brightness in this day.

The bad stuff was more an annoyance than an actual problem, a respite from past weeks, and the books read at least tried some stuff, even when it swung and missed. That's good to know.

Call it a win on the strength of some good buys and the worst of the batch not being that bad. Sure, time ran out before "Buck Rogers" or "Wolfskin: Hundredth Dream" could be read, but it is what it is, you know?

Got a comic you think should be reviewed in The Buy Pile? Â If we get a PDF of a fairly normal length comic (i.e. "less than 64 pages") by no later than 24 hours before the actual issue arrives in stores (and sorry, we can only review comics people can go to stores and buy), we guarantee the work will get reviewed, if remembered. Â Physical comics? Â Geddouttahere. Â Too much drama to store with diminishing resources. Â If you send it in more than two days before comics come out,Â the possibility of it being forgotten increases exponentially.

There are now two official ways to get Hannibal Tabu's blog-related wisdom. For all personal things, there's Hannibal's relaunched Soapbox (where he's been participating in National Poetry Writing Month with some entries about Willie Lumpkin, Bizarro and T'chaka) and for his views on the weird, wild world there's The Hundred and Four, where I also post (mostly) weekly commentary tracks about these reviews (and cool stuff like the Wu-Tang Venn Diagram and a review of the Nokia N900).

Remove Fluoride from Terrace city water

0 have signed. Let’s get to 100!

Terrace is one of the only 3 city left in British Columbia to add fluoride to its city's tap water. Besides all the "conspiracy theories" the main reason to ask the city council to remove fluoride is that it is an additive and it is put in to the water without informed consent.

95% of the world has rejected the practice where the public asked their municipalities to remove fluoride from their tap water. Many dentists have recognized that ingesting fluoride has no benefits to dental health and using a topical fluoride treatment is a more effective treatment for dental decay.

Previously, the city of Terrace has declined removing fluoride based on a research that is now proven to be flawed.

Recent research published by the Harvard School of Public Health (Anna L. Choi, Guifan Sun, Ying Zhang & Philippe Grandjean, 2012) found that consumption of fluoridated water is associated with lowered IQ in children and this was backed up in a recent pilot study published in the journal of Neurotoxicology and Teratology which identified fluoride as a neurotoxin and IQ reducer. Other research has also linked fluoride ingestion adverse health effects.

Forcing the public, including our children, to consume fluoridated water as a medical treatment infringes on our right to informed consent.

We, the citizens of Terrace asking the Terrace City Council to remove fluoride from our water.

60" CheetahWrap Gloss Pearl White

$155.00 - $395.00

Ships same day from the closest warehouse if ordered before 3:30PM M-F.

  • 60" CheetahWrap Gloss Pearl White
    60" CheetahWrap Gloss Pearl White
  • Send us your wrap pics

    Coming Summer 2019!

    • U.S. manufactured and developed by Frank Fellers, 3 mil cast, colorchange wrap vinyl with a specially engineered low initial tack, slideable adhesive system including air egress.
    • The low initial tack can help reduce adhesive lines and improve installation speed.  It is important to install in 70 degrees F or warmer temperatures. After in place, it is important to use pressure and heat to set the vinyl.  The bond increases steadily for a superior ability to stay down in concave areas.

    • 3 mil cast is slightly thinner than other brands to improve conformability on concave or protruding surfaces and, to improve the appearance when making seams.

    • NOTICE:  CheetahWrap has been designed to help eliminate many of the problems associated with other brands of colorchange wrap vinyls.  Because it is different, it requires some modification of typical installation methods.  We highly recommend to watch this video for information on the recommended installation methods and techniques for CheetahWrap.
    • NOTICE:  Because of the low initial tack, it is important to install in 70 degrees F or warmer temperatures.  Also, it is even more critical to post heat with squeegee pressure than with other brands.  Failure to post heat with squeegee pressure can result in bubbles appearing after installation We highly recommend to watch this video for post heating recommendations.
    • NOTICE:  All Gloss colors have a special clear protective liner sheet that must be removed prior to or during installation. This protective liner helps to eliminate surface quality issues common with other brands of colorchange vinyls but it does not completely eliminate "adhesive texture" or "orange peel" effects.  Watch this video to learn techniques for removing the protective liner.
    • Because CheetahWrap has “slideable” adhesive technology which allows for easier positioning, like other brands this adhesive can “roll” with too much “rubbing”.  Therefore, your installation technique may need to change in order to prevent “sanding” (small bumps under the surface), caused by rubbing the adhesive side over a rounded surface too much.  This can usually be repaired by lifting the vinyl back up, heating and re-installing the vinyl correctly.
    • The following colors are less than 100% opaque:  Gloss Berry Blue, Gloss Bright Orange, Gloss Passion Purple, Gloss Pearl White and Satin Pearl White
    • Gloss colors should not be stretched more than 10% in order to retain the highest level of gloss.  Discoloration can occur if stretched more than 10%.
    • Satin and Matte colors can sometimes have very slight discoloration patterns which are part of the manufacturing process.  We are unable to guarantee perfect consistency with Satin and Matte colors.
    • All colors can have very slight shade differences from roll to roll, which is common with most colorchange wrap vinyl brands.  We highly recommend using the same roll per installation for optimal color consistency.
    • Satin and Matte colors can “gloss up” with too much heat during installation.  This is usually not repairable.
    • Satin and Matte colors can be more difficult to keep clean than Gloss colors.  Stubborn stains can be removed with Adhesive Remover combined with Magic Eraser pads.
    • All Metallic, Pearl, and Aluminum colors are directional.  They should be installed in the same direction to prevent shade differences for an optimal appearance.
    • Always pre-test surfaces for adherence prior to installing Cheetahwrap. Certain low energy plastics, paints or gel-coated surfaces may not allow Cheetahwrap to have an acceptable bond.
    • Do not install CheetahWrap below the static water line on boats and other watercraft.
    • We guarantee zero manufacturer splices in all rolls of CheetahWrap.
    • Always pre-test installation on vehicles.  Do not install if there is any adverse or negative impact on sensors and other safety-related equipment on the intended vehicle.
    • The CheetahWrap warranty is equal to or better than most competitive brands.  Like other brands, our warranty provides no protection or reimbursement for additional costs including labor or vehicle/paint damage.  Please review the warranty information.

    • In order to offer the cheapest possible prices to wrap professionals, all sales are final unless a warranty issue or, if we have made a mistake. Returns must be made within 30 days of purchase.  We require email photos and/or return of defective materials for all return claims.  All verified claims will receive credit on the original card used to purchase the returned product.

Kahn Bugatti on Sloane Street
6th Sep 2011

Most of us dream about driving or owning a Kahn Bugatti. There are some who are fortunate enough to actually own one, and some who are fortunate enough to have the money to pick a Bugatti in whatever colour they desire.

Then there\'s the principal British designer, Afzal Kahn, owner of the Kahn group and a plethora of Veyrons.

This particular Veyron parked in the City of London, Sloan Street to be precise, in tandem with the most expensive number plate in the UK: F1, would not look out of place in any location around the world.

“I believe that the Veyron is the ultimate car and taking into consideration the amount that VW spend on building every car, this is one of the best investments I have ever made,” said Afzal Kahn.

High praise indeed by the man who has once again instilled pride and respect into the British motoring industry!

Look out for the man himself in a Bugatti Veyron in a city near you. If you can\'t wait - click on this link and enjoy!

Dodds "Embarrassed" at Relegation

4 May 2018

Sponsored by

January signing Louis Dodds admits that he is “embarrassed” with what has happened this season, but hopes the Spireites can put on a good performance for the fans when they travel to Barnet on Saturday (3pm).

It is of course the last game of the 2017/18 season before Town start life in the Vanarama National league next season.

Dodds, who is uncertain about this future, says he will give his all as long as he plays for the Spireites. He said: “It’s a big summer for this football club. We’ve got to appoint a new manager and there’s obviously talks with players about who’s going to be here.

"You have to weigh it all up and then we go from there. I’m 31 now and you want to stay as high as you can for as long as you can. If I’m still here, I’ll give 100% for this football club and if I’m not, I have enjoyed my time here.

"I'm not big-time enough to say that I’m too good for the Conference, but I just know you need a strong squad full of men who are ready to go to war every game and have a right good go at it.

Reflecting on relegation, Dodd said: “I think when we were playing teams in and around us - like Grimsby and Port Vale - they were huge games and I don’t think some of us grasped how important they were.

"When we had three games in hand, we had a little cushion there and thought we would win a couple of those games at least, but it started ticking down.

"I’m embarrassed because we have more than enough to see us out of the situation we’re in. We've come a cropper by not taking the bull by the horns when we had those games in hand and we should be clear now and in party mode.

Club captain Ian Evatt took over as caretaker manager following Jack Lester's departure and Dodds is enjoying his time playing under him.

“I think it was right to give 'Evo' the chance to move forward. He is enjoying it and the lads are enjoying training so fair play to him.

"Evo has come in and has seen players working hard in training and I think I’ve repaid him by working hard for him. He’s come in and bought in people who he likes around him and I think it’s the most smiles on faces that I’ve seen since I’ve been here.”

Dodds, who was signed on an 18-month deal from Shrewsbury Town, has been disappointed with his lack of game time so far.

“I didn’t play at Shrewsbury a lot so I was trying to catch my fitness up, " he said. "I played two games in three days and my calf was tight and then the gaffer didn’t put me in and that was frustrating. But I think you’ve seen now – whether that’s because the shackles are off – that I’m enjoying it and making things happen.

"It is frustrating when you’re not injured and you’re coming in training. You wait for that chance and another game goes by and then you’re getting ten minutes here and five minutes here. That’s not what you’re paid for.

"People say that you have a good job, which I fully accept, but when you’re not being able to help on the pitch and you really want to help, it’s frustrating.”

Dodds is hoping the squad reward the fans with a positive performance at Barnet and the club rebuilds in preparation for next season. The former Port Vale man added: “I think we owe it to the fans and I think we owe it to Evo and ourselves because we haven’t done ourselves justice.

"If we don’t go down there and put on a professional job, it’s poor on us as professionals and Morecambe as well because they are fighting for their lives."

Wills and Trusts by an Established Danbury Law Firm

Let our attorneys draft your testamentary documents and devise an estate plan specifically for you

Hiring an estate planning lawyer to advise you about options to minimize the estate taxes due upon your death can make a big difference. Collins Hannafin, P.C. advises businesses, families and trustees in all aspects of estate planning. Our attorneys design and implement an estate plan fit for each client.

What are some available estate planning options?

Our attorneys aim to minimize tax liabilities and preserve asset transfers according to your will. Trusts are a useful tool to meet these needs and others, such as:

  • Special needs trusts A special needs trust provides a disabled individual with funds for medical and living expenses. A self-settled trust is created with the disabled person’s own resources, while a third-party special needs trust is created and funded by someone other than the special needs beneficiary.
  • Revocable living trusts – While tax planning trusts can be incorporated into revocable living trusts, the principal benefit of utilizing these trusts is to transfer assets into the trust while the grantor is alive to minimize and sometimes eliminate the need for probate in the state of residence and other states where property is owned.
  • Irrevocable life insurance trust This type of trust serves as a vehicle for holding life insurance policies. It is a resourceful tool in estate planning, as ownership of the life insurance transfers to the trust, thereby removing it from the estate and decreasing estate tax exposure.
  • Qualified terminable interest property trust (QTIP) This allows property to pass from the decedent spouse to the surviving spouse, and later to the surviving children while minimizing estate tax.
  • Credit shelter trust This type of trust allows property to pass from a decedent parent to surviving children while protecting the assets from estate taxes.

Estate planning and administration by sophisticated attorneys

The trust and estate attorneys at Collins Hannafin diligently identify, gather and administer the estate and ensure distribution of the assets in an efficient manner according to our clients’ estate administration plan. Our estate planning and administration experience includes drafting durable financial powers of attorney, living wills, appointment of healthcare representatives, and appointment of conservators, as well as reviewing and modifying existing wills and trusts.

4th suspect charged in 2010 slaying

A fourth suspect has been charged with murder in the 2010 stabbing death of a man in McKinley Park who was attacked along with a friend of his because the four thought they were rival gang members, prosecutors said.

Gary Sams, 36, was ordered held without bail in a hearing before Cook County Criminal Court Judge Edward Harmening midday today in the May 30, 2010 slaying of Alan Oliva, 19, of Oak Lawn.

Bragging by Daniel Guerrero, 24, Pablo Colon, 22, and Marco Ramirez, 27, all of Chicago, led to their being charged Sept. 11 with murder and aggravated battery in Oliva’s slaying, and led police to Sams, of the 3200 block of South Archer Avenue, prosecutors said.

Oliva was walking with a friend about 1 a.m. that day in the 3200 block of South Ashland when several men came up to him and attacked him “without provocation,” police said at the time.

Oliva was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital, where it was found he had been stabbed twice, and he died there of multiple stab wounds, authorities said.

Oliva and his friend, 20, were walking in the 3300 block of Ashland Avenue, after leaving a friend’s home in the area, when Sams, Colon, Guerrero, Ramirez and other members of the Satan Disciples street gang came out from behind a building, prosecutors said today. The gang members had seen that Oliva or his friend was wearing a red shirt, thought they were members of a rival gang, and had lain in wait for them, prosecutors said.

Guerrero, who was armed with an aluminum baseball bat, went up to Oliva’s friend and hit him with the bat, knocking him to the ground and beating him, prosecutors said. Ramirez and Colon began attacking Oliva, and the younger victim was able to escape and run back to the home he and Oliva had been visiting and call 911 from there, according to prosecutors.

Police arrived on scene and found Oliva had been beaten and stabbed, and his cell phone taken, Simonton said. He was taken to Stroger, where he died.

After the attack, police were able to get a physical description of the attackers from the other victim, and in October 2010, identified Guerrero as a possible suspect.

They also determined that Ramirez had had Oliva’s cell phone in his possession for a time after the attack, but had buried it in a park near his house to try to hide the theft, Simonton said.

Police were able to track down that Ramirez, Guerrero and Colon had all told other people about beating up rival gang members, and they were identified in photo and in-person lineups. On Sept. 11, they were arrested, and Ramirez admitted to stabbing Oliva, while Colon admitted to taking part in the beating.

Sams was taken into custody on Tuesday, and after he was read his Constitutional rights, admitted to police that he went with other gang members to confront Oliva and his friend, who they mistakenly thought were rival gang members, according to court records. Sams admitted to being there to beat up Oliva, and admitted kicking him while he was on the ground.

The three are scheduled to return to court Oct. 2. Court information for Sams was not immediately available.

Manitoba Liberals Target Mental Health in Platform

Rana Bokhari
Manitoba Liberal leader Rana Bokhari (SHANE GIBSON / METRO WINNIPEG FILE)

Manitoba’s Liberal party has released the first part of its platform targeting mental health issues and ensuring Manitobans are covered to see a psychologist under Medicare.

Leader Rana Bokhari outlined her vision on Wednesday, saying one in five Canadians suffer from mental health issues and the province can’t afford to remain last when it comes to accessing mental health care specialists.

“We all know someone who experiences mental health issues on a daily basis,” Bokhari said. “Whether it is a parent, a child, a sibling or a friend – mental health issues affect us all.”

Bokhari’s plan would see psychologists across the province funded in a similar way to physicians. Critical priority areas such as services for children, pregnant women and individuals with depression and PTSD would be covered by Medicare.

The Liberals also revealed a plan to increase funding for hiring and retaining more psychologists in Manitoba, pledging to invest $20 million over four years to train, recruit and retain new psychologists in Manitoba.

The next provincial election is in 2016.

Blessed are the Cracked for through them the light shines

Blessed are the Cracked for through them the Light shines.

It's a beautiful morning here in Ireland, the rain is falling gently, the wind is picking up to a nice gale force 8 and the temperature is a balmy summers 12c.
In these sub tropical temperatures I have been thinking about my life and the way in which God has shaped it and moulded it.

As some of you know, I have had a pretty easy journey in comparison to some, and a horrendous journey from the view point of others.

But through the the many ups and downs of my life, I have come to realise one thing, and it is thisÂ€ Through the cracks the many many mercies of God shine.

You see, had I never sat at the bedside of my son while he fought for life I would not have known the healing mercies of God.

Had I not been broken hearted because of a death in the family, I could not have testified to the comforting hand of God.

Had I not been terrified when younger, I could not stand here and claim to know the peace which passes all understanding.
Do you get my drift today?

It's the hard, tough, unbearable days that allow the love of God to really shine. It's when we are as low as we can be that we can feel the power of God lifting us and carrying us. Without the bad days we would not experience first hand the healing, comfort, grace, mercy, steadying hand of God.
How can we speak of these qualities of our God if we have not tasted them?

Of course I ask God that he keep these days from me. I don't cherish nor ask to be walking in the valley. But when I do, and we all do, believe me; I want this cracked pot to let the light in.

Tan Yeowhwa @silverpen ·

Sister Bethy, I am sure God knows all your pains and all your sorrows.:flower: He lets us go through many difficult times and situations in this present life, and He is there for us. I have not been spared of this type of pain either and can never understand why all these human sufferings.:confused:

I believe we just have to continue trusting Him, trusting that He will lead us through the night and will grant us the dawn in His time.😉

In His time, He will make all things beautiful.:flower::flower:

Blesings always

I think of the song...This little light of mine...I'm going to let it shine.

Dear are a light that shines in Ireland! It shines bight enough to see in Cincinnati Ohio. When you shine His light shines right through you. Your light, your joy, your witness, and your happiness is a light to an unbelieving world. The person of Christ flows from Calvary right into your heart...and shines! The light of the Glorius Gospel shines into your heart and is thus reflected into this dark, dark world by you...on this Blog. Nail your past to the your life in the newness of life as a child of the king. Believe it! Show it! Live it! Preach it!

2 Cor 4:6-7...For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

My heart sings, "This little light of mine I'm going to let it shine...let it shine, let it shine, let it shine."

Ronnie Harrison earned first-team honors, while Marque Booker and Tyler Pavlas were voted to the second team of the All-District 13-5A boys basketball team, as selected by the coaches.

Harrison was the Cougars’ leading player in 2010-11. The senior guard averaged team highs in points (15.6 per game), assists (3.0), rebounds (5.0) and steals (2.5).

Booker, a senior, was Tomball’s outside shooting threat with 14.5 points per game and a team-high 77 three-pointers. He added 2.6 assists per game.

Pavlas, a junior, added 9.0 points per game and had an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.3.

All three players shot better than 70 percent from the free-throw line. The Cougars finished sixth in 13-5A but swept Klein Oak and Westfield and lost twice to league-champion Dekaney by a total of five points.

Pavlas, senior Ryan Thompson, junior Justin Dvorak and junior Nick Fannon made the 13-5A academic team.

Dekaney’s Michael Dison and Jalen Hughes shared league MVP honors, while Jeff Wylie of the Wildcats was Coach of the Year. Ra’Ciane Rideaux of Klein Forest was Defensive Player of the Year and Ellis Moore of Klein Oak was the top newcomer.

Magnolia junior guard Jesse Jones was voted Defensive Player of the Year, leading seven Magnolia ISD players on the All-District 17-4A boys basketball team, as selected by the coaches.

Jones was joined on the first team by senior teammate Jarard Hood, as well as senior Gerry Cottle and junior Andrew Ellwanger of Magnolia West. The second team included Chris Lenton of West and James McDade and Gabe Rueda of MHS.

The Bulldogs and Mustangs both made the playoffs in 2011, with MHS reaching its third straight postseason and West following its first-ever playoff appearance of 2010.

West finished 7-7 in league play and won a fourth-place playoff with Montgomery to reach the postseason.

Phillip Bryant carries tuna cans and water bottles in his car and often spontaneously delivers them to the poor he sees throughout the Houston streets.

However, Bryant, who describes himself as a devout Christian, contends the city's charitable feeding ordinance prohibits this and also violates his religious rights.

He filed a lawsuit Wednesday night in Harris County court challenging the ordinance, which requires advocates to obtain permission from property owners - public or private - before feeding more than five people. Violation of the ordinance is considered a criminal misdemeanor and is punishable by up to $2,000, according to the lawsuit.

Bryant and his attorneys plan to hold a press conference on Good Friday to discuss the lawsuit. Bryant himself has not been cited for violating the ordinance, said his attorney, Randall Kallinen.

"In the Bible, it's mentioned repetitively feeding the poor, so certainly someone who would be following the teachings of Jesus Christ would say I should be feeding the homeless," said Kallinen, who along with attorney Eric Dick, is representing Bryant. The charitable feeding ordinance has caused controversy since it was established five years ago. The city describes the ordinance as a way to uphold food safety and protect the rights of private property owners, but some homeless advocates view it as a way to regulate the tradition of charity.

'Mixed messages'

Although not mandatory, the city encourages those feeding the homeless to register as a food service organization and receive food safety training. The only required step is a person must seek permission from the property owner before feeding more than five people.

In a related development, City Council passed Wednesday an ordinance to curb panhandling and a ban on unauthorized encampments in public places.

"We want people to be able to feed the homeless whenever, wherever they want to, like they were prior to this law being passed," Kallinen said.

Various petitions have been advanced against the city's charitable feeding ordinance including one started by Kallinen, which has more than 75,000 signatures. The city on Thursday declined to comment about the lawsuit.

Bryant agrees with critics of the ordinance, stating in his suit that it "regulates a natural expression of human compassion" and prohibits him "from sharing food and water with those that need help."

As a Christian, Bryant says he does not want to seek permission to distribute food because he does not know "when Christ will compel him to share food" or when someone in need might ask him for food, according to his lawsuit.

Mike Blockson, outreach coordinator at Covenant House, a homeless youth shelter in Houston, said the ordinance creates more confusion.

"We have an agreement from the city to feed the homeless," Blockson said. "Last year, there were certain parts of the city where they told us we can't feed the homeless, and that's just sending mixed messages."

A right to feed them

For his job, Blockson will scour the streets three to four nights out of the week looking for homeless kids and feeding others he encounters. Before the ordinance passed, he said they were able to feed any homeless persons without seeking permission.

Bryant is requesting a jury trial for his case and ultimately wants the ordinance thrown out. Blockson also agrees with Bryant's religious rights concerning his case.

"If God's calling us to feed them, we have a right to feed them," Blockson said.
