FEMA extends help with storm damage to local governments in Columbiana County
This federal aid offered to Columbiana County is not for residents, just the local governments
by: WYTV Staff
COLUMBIANA CO., Ohio (WYTV) – Columbiana County will be getting federal help to pay for storm damage associated with the heavy rain on May 28 — the same storm that hit Poland, Boardman and Canfield hard.
FEMA has added Columbiana County to the disaster list. That will allow the federal government to pick up some of the local governments' expenses, as well as the expenses of certain private and nonprofit organizations.
"It will be a boost in reimbursement for the damage that was done to roads and infrastructure," said Brian Rutledge with Columbiana County EMA.
FEMA may help with debris removal, damaged roads and sewer lines, and landslide repairs.
This federal aid offered to Columbiana County is not for residents, just the local governments.
County Engineer Bert Dawson says it's great news for the county, as they were trying to figure out how to cover more than $1.5 million in damages. He said they were looking at making major cuts if the state money did not come through.
"We have $1 million, $1.5 million paving budget every year, so if you take a quarter million, you'd lose 20 percent of your paving program, so it would have been a big hit," he said.
In Boardman, FEMA is still working with homeowners whose homes got flooded. The deadline to apply for aid is August 19.
"We always try to adjust to the circumstances and that's why we are staying open longer. We saw the number of visitors high enough, it looked like there was a need," said Gerard Hammick from FEMA.
Flood insurance is available to every homeowner in Mahoning County, but he said it is a separate policy.
"Insurance is about being prepared and that's why we want to encourage people to look into the possibility of flood insurance.
The cost of a flood insurance policy depends on many things, including where your home is located and how much it's worth.
A State Farm agent said the last flood insurance policy he wrote cost about $450 per year.
You can apply for aid online at www.disasterassistance.gov, by calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 or by using FEMA's disaster app.
If residents or businesses are interested in getting flood insurance, they can do so through the following agents:
Aaron McElwain (commercial): 216-600-2828
Cody Strange (State Farm): 513-829-1510
Crestway Insurance: 888-274-1445

Quebec City's Muslim community is bitterly disappointed about the mosque killer's sentence, which could allow him to leave prison after 40 years.
QUEBEC — Survivors and representative of this city's tiny Muslim community expressed deep disappointment and bitterness that mosque killer Alexandre Bissonnette could be eligible to get out of prison after 40 years.
Emerging from an hour-long huddle with crown prosecutors on Friday after the life sentence was handed down, they gathered around a podium in the Quebec City courthouse.
The anger and emotions poured out with some even questioning the validity of the Canadian court system, saying they feel like second-class citizens.
"I was very disappointed and surprised," said Aymen Derbali, who spoke from his wheelchair. Bissonnette shot him seven times, leaving Derbali paralyzed from the waist down.
The Quebec City community rallied to donate money so he could live in an adapted home.
"We wanted justice to be done, for the victims for all those who are dead," Derbali said, noting based on what the judge decided, Bissonnette will be eligible for parole at age 67.
"We are surprised and disappointed with the decision," an emotional Megda Belkacemi said, brushing aside tears.
Boufeldja Benabdallah, the founder of the Quebec City mosque, said the victims and widows of the shooting felt the court showed more dignity toward the killer than those who lost loved ones.
Benabdallah said the victims also wanted to express solidarity with the families of victims of Toronto serial killer Bruce McArthur, who got a 25-year sentence on the same day as Bissonnette got his sentence.
"It is not anger that overwhelms us," Benabdallah said. "It's disappointment that overwhelms us.
"Today, I feel a Muslim Canadian citizen is worth less than another citizen," said shooting survivor Saïd El-Amari, who was wounded in the shooting and survived.
"Today, we spent the day asking why this man, who killed six Muslim citizens of the City of Quebec, and wounded five others and left 17 children orphans, gets the chance to (one day) get out and live in society.
"I am floored, I am thunderstruck, I am angry. I wonder whether we are treated in the same way as our fellow Canadian citizens. I lack words. I wonder if the laws are going to be adopted to whether a person has the Muslim faith or another.
"Today, I witnessed the law being adopted so a person can be freed at the end of his sentence. It is a sad day. We are committing 17 orphans in a process that will last 40 years after which point they will have to step forward to try and keep this assassin inside (prison).
"An orphan who is two years old today will be 42 when he gets out of prison," said Ahmed Cheddadi, who witnessed Bissonnette's attack that night. "That means he could run into him in the grocery store. Think about that. That's rough.
But some in Quebec City seemed relieved this part of the ordeal is over, even though appeals court proceedings will continue.
In a statement, Quebec City Mayor Régis Labeaume expressed "relief" that the saga was coming to an end and people in the provincial capital can turn the page.


What a gorgeous baby girl! Sweet little Genevieve looked absolutely stunning in all the pinks and purples that her mummy requested for her session. I didn't think we would get any poses on the bean bag as she was a little unsettled but with a big feed and a full belly she posed like a dream. Baby Genevieve was born on the 6th of June 2017 weighing 3.34kg and was 52cm long she was welcomed by her big sister Juliet who is 3 years old and who is just absolutely smitten with her. There is no better friend than a sister and the bond they will share will be forever.


PETOSKEY - For the first time in five years, the Gaylord High School Symphony Band has qualified for state band festival following its participation in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association District 2 Band Festival. The band received a first-division rating at the Petoskey Middle School event.
Both the Gaylord Concert Band and the Gaylord Symphony Band won medals at the Feb. 28 district festival. The concert band achieved a second-division rating, marking a fine performance that still has some room for improvement, reported GHS band director Mike Emerson. In the categories of tone, intonation, rhythm, technique, and interpretation, the Gaylord Concert Band achieved a total of two B-plus ratings, and 14 B ratings, from four different judges.
The 51-member Gaylord Symphony Band received three A ratings; 10 A-minus ratings, two B-plus ratings, and nine B ratings. Included in the symphony band's performance was the song "Chorale and Shaker Dance" by John Zdechlik, one of the most recognized pieces in the band repertoire.
In addition to performing three pieces at the festival, both bands were adjudicated on the basis of their ability to sight-read a piece; that is, playing music that the bands have never previously performed after studying it with Emerson for an abbreviated period of time. The Gaylord Concert Band was rated at a second division for the sight reading portion, while the Symphony Band received first-division honors.
Bandsmen from across the state served as adjudicators at the festival. They were very complimentary of the Gaylord Symphony Band. "A very fine band under great leadership," remarked one, "Š you will continue to grow. It was a pleasure to hear you today."
Another added, "You have a good start Š best wishes in the future."
State Band Festival is Friday, April 10, with the place to be announced.

1001 Classic Movies: Easter Parade
Easter Parade (1948), starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland, is one of the 1001 classic movies you should see.
Each Monday, I'm going to recommend a classic movie you should see (for the reasons behind the 1001 series and reviews of earlier films covered go here). This month I'm celebrating Easter with three films that are related to the spring holiday. This week's selection is the musical Easter Parade (1948).
Easter Parade tells the story of Don Hewes (Fred Astaire), a Broadway star whose dancing partner Nadine Hale (Ann Miller) leaves him to become a star in the Ziegfeld Follies. Don finds a new leading lady in chorus girl Hannah Brown (Judy Garland), and, after a few false starts, they become a successful Vaudeville team. Eventually, Don and Hannah begin to fall in love, even though he still carries a torch for Nadine and Hannah is attracted to Don's handsome and rich best friend, Jonathan Harrow III (Peter Lawford).
By 1948, prolific composer Irving Berlin had written an impressive catalog of songs, so he decided to hire screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett to pen a script for a musical that would center around Berlin's own experiences as a Broadway songwriter. MGM producer Arthur Freed bought the rights for his famed musicals unit, and after some trial and error in the casting (more on that below), he and Good News (1947) director Charles Walters released MGM's biggest hit of the year.
Easter Parade is one of the most familiar of the Freed unit musicals, partially because it is one of the few old Hollywood films that center around the secular traditions associated with the spring holiday. The "Drum Crazy" number features plenty of Easter paraphernalia (Astaire bargains with a young boy for his stuffed rabbit), but the movie's piece de resistance is the recreation of the annual Easter Parade. The New York City tradition, which is still going strong in 2017, features the fashionable and the fashionably quirky strutting up and down Fifth Avenue in their finest spring attire.
Easter Parade Viewer's Guide: This movie is a joyous slice of nostalgia that features the only onscreen pairing of Astaire and Garland. Here's what to look for when you watch:
1. Casting. The final cast of Easter Parade was the result of some not-so-happy accidents. Gene Kelly was originally slated to play Don, but he was sidelined by a broken ankle, which brought the recently retired Astaire back to the big screen. Also, Cyd Charisse, who was originally cast as Nadine, pulled a tendon, which gave Miller her big break.
2. Steppin' Out with My Baby. Astaire's gravity defying dance in this number is simply one of the iconic moments in old Hollywood history. Although it has been endlessly imitated, even by Astaire himself, the impact in the original film is still considerable.
3. Jules Munshin. The character actor has a memorable cameo as a fussy French waiter. His comic routine with an imaginary salad reduces Garland and Lawford to helpless laughter.
4. The Easter Parade song. Berlin's famous tune originally appeared in the musical biopic, Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938), and it was also warbled by Bing Crosby in Holiday Inn (1942).
Judy Garland gets ready for the "A Couple of Swells" number in Easter Parade (1948).
Other critics: Easter Parade has an 89 percent fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes and Leonard Maltin calls the film "too good to watch just at Easter time" in a 3 1\2 star review in his Classic Movie Guide. Critics in 1948 praised the movie, especially heaping plaudits on Astaire. Thomas M. Pryor of The New York Times wrote that "for sheer simplicity and poetry of motion his dancing in 'Easter Parade' would be difficult to equal, much less better." The Variety critic concurred. "Astaire's standout solo is the elaborate production piece 'Stepping [sic] Out with My Baby,' during which he does a slow-motion dance in front of a large chorus terping in regular time."
The bottom line: Easter Parade is a delightful family that you can enjoy during any season. Watch it for the luxe MGM production values and the top-notch musical numbers, especially "Steppin' Out with My Baby" and "A Couple of Swells."
Availability: Easter Parade will air on TCM at 6 p.m. April 16. Also available on DVD.
I'll be off next week for Easter, but I'll return on April 24 to write about James Dean's memorable holiday weekend in the teen drama, Rebel Without a Cause (1955).

I love Ann Miller in this movie! Her version of Shaking the Blues Away is one of the all time memorable movie dance scenes for me.

Annie is a highlight of so many movies. I love her in Kiss Me Kate, On the Town.

The Sociology of Health and Illness
Sarah Nettleton's The Sociology of Health and Illness has become a cornerstone text, popular with students and academics alike for its rigorous and accessible overview of the field. Building on these strengths, the third edition integrates fresh insights from the current literature with the core tenets of traditional medical sociology, providing students with a thorough grounding in the sociology of health and illness. The text covers a diversity of topics and draws on a wide range of analytic approaches, spanning issues such as the social construction of medical knowledge, the analysis of lay health beliefs, concepts of lifestyles and risk, the experience of illness and the sociology of the body. It also explores matters which are central to health policy, such as professional-patient relationships, health inequalities and the changing nature of health care work. Each chapter in the book has been revised and updated, with substantial new material in particular on the sociology of diagnosis, body work, and a whole new chapter on the sociology of health technology. Written for students of the social sciences who opt to study the field of health and illness in greater depth, this book will also continue to appeal to students taking vocational degrees, such as nursing, who require a sociological grounding in the area. Thoroughly revised and fully updated, the third edition of Sarah Nettleton's book will prove invaluable to anyone looking for a clear and engaging introduction to contemporary debates within the sociology of health and illness.
Very good condition, with notes and highlighting throughout chapter four only.
Nettleton, S.

How to fill in login password for R80.10 SmartConsole using AutoIt?
This is necessary for integration with the CyberArk PAS. We write a script using the Autolt that starts the SmartDashboard. With the SmartDashboard of the R77.30 version, everything worked fine, but in SmartDashboard R80.10 WPF is used, which is not supported in Autolt. Do we need a more detailed description of these processes?
Therefore, we are looking for a workaround. For example, can we start the SmartDashboard from the cmd with the parameters (username, passwor, IP)?
Re: How to fill in login password for R80.10 SmartConsole using AutoIt?
Hi, if you are writing scripts which start up applications using UI automation such as AutoIt, you can use the named property of the password box "LoginPasswordBox".
Internally we have been using UI automation tools, so we gave constant names to the important elements on the screen for similar purposes.
If you use AutoIt to find the element named "LoginPasswordBox", you could potentially control the password value.
Then the next step would be finding the "Login" button by pressing the Enter keyboard key.
We have the same issue . Have you found a solution ?
Unfortunately we didn't find the solution.As we understand, it is impossible for the new console.
hi !! thanks Olga for your quick reply .
We are looking for a solution .Please keep in touch .If you have found any workaround please update us .
Haven't you try raising a support ticket to cyberark ?
As I am working for CyberArk partner, I can tell you that this is not a support topic!
PSM connection components are developed by Professional Services.
At least hopping with TAB / Shift+TAB to fields, deleting with ctrl+a + backspace and entering values should always work.
We have automated the checkpoint R80.10 smart console with Cyberark PAS solution .Somehow we manage to automate the login with support of autoIT tool . But as soon as it logged in following error pop-out .
Hope you were also having trouble with onboarding Checkpoint smart console R80.10 and succeed adding it . Could you kindly support us on this ?


Bruce Nauman was born in 1941 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He studied art, mathematics, and physics at the University of Wisconsin, and went on to study at the University of California at Davis, graduating with an MFA in 1966.
Nauman gave up painting in 1964 and began experimenting with sculpture and performance art and collaborated on film projects. Since the mid-1960's he has created a body of work that includes sculptures, films, holograms, interactive environments, neon wall reliefs, photographs, prints, sculptures, videotapes, and performance. This far-ranging activity has meant that in the conventional sense Nauman has no single style, but his work does have an unshakeable core, and this is his determination to describe the human condition in all its contradictions, and give substance and voice to the extremes of human nature from doubt, fear and anger, to tenderness, vulnerability and comedic absurdity. His conceptual work stresses meaning over form and often uses irony and wordplay to raise issues about the human condition and alienation. Like many of his peers in the 1960's, Nauman was expanding artistic practice by introducing performance into his work, moving away from static objects to create an art of experience. His early formal treatment of the body evolved into an investigation of the self and of human experience.
Between 1966 and 1970 he made numerous films and videos that recorded his activities and daily routines in the studio - such as pacing or drinking coffee. Looped continuously, the works became a metaphor for the human condition, capturing a sense of life's maddening yet humorous continuum. In 1969, Nauman's work Performance Corridor marked a transition between his works that feature the artist as performer and those that transformed the viewers into performers, while Nauman all the while manipulated the viewer's actions and experience. The performance-based works offer investigations of our most basic physical emotions and psychological states. Using simple devices - corridors, platforms, spotlights, video monitors - Nauman is able to engage both himself and his audience in activities of self-reflection.
Nauman has also been concerned with common patterns and stereotypes in gestures and language to demonstrate the stress and pressures of an increasingly brutal society. Sculptural shapes, colored neon lights, moving pictures, room-sized video installations and monumental multiple projections, accompanied by the spoken word, sounds and music, are enlisted. The mirror that Nauman's art holds up to civilization is not flattering. But when he shows terror, alienation and loneliness, he communicates profound empathy with the pain of all creatures.

A couple of years ago I had a prophetic word from a friend called Julian Adams, part of which was that as a community God would give us facilities and buildings to use. That has certainly been proved to be true with the recent additions of the Barn, the K4 shop, the Studio and soon the college house behind K2. From September we'll also be using Sandhurst School on a Sunday, and if you were at the prayer meeting this week you'll have heard that we're looking for a warehouse in Bracknell to store Foodbank food, stuff for the K4 shop, furniture and who knows what else.
Although exciting, all of these facilities need maintaing and improving. Therefore from September the Site Services team are looking to take on a Site Services Assistant, based at our Bracknell Site, but also getting involved in the maintenance and daily running of our other buildings. The role would involve keeping all of our buildings maintained to a high standard as well as setting up rooms for Ministries to use, Health and Safety monitoring, grounds work, decorating, ordering , store keeping, and liaising with our Events team and external contractors. We are looking for a proactive people person, with a passion for all that Kerith does.
If you are interested in joining our team and becoming an active part of the day to day management of our buildings, you can pick up an application and information pack now from the Kerith Centre reception.

The time of low water is NOT the same as that at which the stream changes from ebb to flood (the stream usually changes AFTER low water and the delay increases with excess land water (fluvial flow). Likewise the time of high water may FOLLOW the change from flood to ebb in situations where there is excess land water).
Racing in accordance with British Rowing rules.
The Code of Practice for Rowing on the Tideway applies at all times.
Safety paramount: each club and cox is responsible for ensuring that their boat is safe (including heel restraints, buoyancy compartments and coxes' buoyancy aids).
All coxes MUST have more than 30 hours coxing experience on the Tideway and have successfully completed the UL steers/coxing test in 2020 or the local equivalent in other boating areas.
Coxes should attend the coxes' meeting which will be held in a virtual format in advance of race day.
In the case of emergency marshals will follow the emergency action plan. In general, if a rower or cox enters the water it is important that they stay with the boat unless there is obvious danger. If you are in the water be careful to avoid the launch engine.
Find out in advance whether you are racing on the Middlesex/Surrey side.
Reducing the risk of transmission of coronavirus infections
You must adhere to relevant national and local guidance to reduce the risk of transmission of coronavirus infection. You must maintain appropriate social distancing and wear a face mask when indoors or in close proximity to others.
You must adhere to the British Rowing guidance set out at https://www.britishrowing.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/200930-Coronavirus-Advice-Returning-to-Rowing-v7.pdf particularly with reference to competitions.
You must adhere to the requirements of the host club (e.g. ULBH or TSS). Failure to adhere to these requirements may mean disqualification.
Your club must supply the full contact details for each crew to UHBC prior to racing, including any substitutions.
Each crew member MUST complete the Covid questionnaire and submit this to UHBC within 24 hours prior to their first race. Failure to submit the questionnaire may result in disqualification. You must not attend the event if you have a positive test result for Covid 19, or you have been told to self-isolate, or you have symptoms.
If you develop symptoms during the course of the regatta, please leave as soon as possible and notify the UHBC Covid officer.
If you develop symptoms within 72 hours of the regatta, please inform the UHBC Covid Officer.
You must adhere to the boating timetable at ULBH or elsewhere. If you fail to boat on time, you may be excluded.
The following instructions apply to races held on the EBB stream
Boat in good time: Please allow 10 minutes to get to the marshalling area from ULBH. Please refer to the circulation plans in appendix 6.
Cross directly from ULBH to the marshalling area on the Surrey side, only when it is safe and clear to do so (do not cross in front of any boats on the stream).
In the marshalling area, great care must be taken to ensure that crews stay as far into the Surrey bank as possible, in accordance with CPRT section 2.6:3[1], line astern, with about a length of water between crews, so as not to impede the proper navigation of other oared boats in the area (see appendix 6).
When asked to turn ensure that the river is clear before you start to manoeuvre and that you end up in the starboard aspect of the stream parallel to the bank. You should turn in the area between the UL buoy and the eastern margin of the Railway Bridge Restricted Zone, so in effect you will go round the UL buoy.
At the finish, if returning to ULBH, crews must proceed into the Chiswick Bridge restricted zone (appendix 7). Crews must not turn, stop or cross in the Chiswick Bridge Restricted Zone. Crews should pass into the restricted zone line astern (so that there should be no overlap between boats in the restricted zone even if there was an overlap at the finish). If returning to ULBH, crews should proceed through Chiswick Bridge and turn promptly to the Surrey inshore zone without obstructing or drifting down to the Ship crossing point at the Ship [2]. Crews should turn before reaching the Ship Inn red buoy.
If returning to TSSC, proceed through the Chiswick Bridge Restricted Zone. Crews must check that it is safe to cross the fairway, and then cross promptly to the Middlesex side as directed in CPRT section 2.5. Crews must not obstruct or drift anywhere near the standard crossing point at the Ship.
Crews must not cross the river to return to UL before a point 100m on the eastern side of ULBH (adjacent to the sewer outfall on the Surrey bank) –see appendix 10. Great care must be taken when crossing the river at this point to avoid all vessels coming down with the stream, especially any oncoming racing crews.
The following instructions apply to races held on the FLOOD tide
If boating from ULBH, proceed directly to the Surrey inshore zone, only when it is safe and clear to do so.
If proceeding from ULBH, continue on the Surrey side through Chiswick Bridge and enter the marshalling area promptly (see appendix 8). Stay below the lower limit of the Ship crossing and do not obstruct other oared boats in this area. Do not proceed beyond the marshalling area on the Surrey side under any circumstances.
If proceeding from TSSC, stay on the Middlesex side in accordance with the local rules of navigation from TSSC until you enter the marshalling area on the Middlesex side (for crews from TSSC only). Stay above the Ship crossing and do not impede other oared boats in this area.
In the marshalling areas, great care must be taken to ensure that crews stay as far into the bank as possible, line astern, with about a length of water between crews, so as not to impede the proper navigation of other oared boats in the area (appendix 8).
When asked to turn ensure that the river is clear before you start to manoeuvre and that you end up in the starboard aspect of the stream parallel to the bank. Boats on the Middlesex side should turn in the area just downriver of the Bulls Alley (green) buoy and in effect you will go round the buoy. Boats on the Surrey side should turn immediately and not proceed downriver on the Surrey side under any circumstances.
At the finish, if returning to ULBH, coxes need to be aware of the three options for returning to UL. The strength of the stream and ability of the crew must be taken into account, and if there is any doubt, coxes should proceed on the stream through Kew Railway Bridge in accordance with CPRT, and turn when it is safe to do so (either between or beyond the restricted zones). Crews must not turn, stop or cross in the Kew Restricted Zones.
Turn to the Middlesex side before reaching the pier/wooden posts PROVIDED that there is sufficient room and the stream/wind conditions are suitable;
Turn to the Surrey side around the UL buoy into the Surrey inshore zone PROVIDED it is safe to cross the fairway and then cross back across the fairway against the stream provided that it is safe to do so;
Proceed through Kew railway bridge on the stream and then turn to the Surrey inshore zone between the Kew restricted zones PROVIDED it is safe to do so.
At the finish, if returning to TSSC or downriver, crews should turn as per options (b) or (c) as appropriate and safe and keep in the Surrey inshore zone in accordance with CPRT.
[1] CPRT 2.6:3 'When rowing against the tide, always pull in as close as possible to the bank preferably with blades in contact with the bank so as to aid the ability to be stationary by occasional paddling with the outside blade in the stream.'
[2] An alternative route back to UL; if there is sufficient room and it is safe, is that crews should wind down very briefly having passed the finish line moving out of the fairway as quickly as possible, and, if safe, promptly turn to the Surrey (south) bank of the river before the Chiswick Bridge. This route should only be done if the officials have specifically instructed crews to do so, and may be reasonable for a crew not rowing out the course, or being so far behind the winning crew as not to be in contention (see appendix 9).

A Life Set To Jazz: A Hundred Years Of Jackie Robinson
Monday, October 21 2019 7:30 PM — 9:00 PM
This event has reached capacity.
The Dodgers won their seventh consecutive National League West title, but will they make it to their third consecutive World Series game? One thing is certain, no matter who will be in the World Series, KPCC In Person has a lot in store for the night before. KPCC In Person will celebrate Jackie Robinson, whose rich history of breaking the color barrier is forever tied to the Dodgers.
It's been 100 years since Jackie Robinson was born, and KPCC In Person is marking the occasion – and the eve of the World Series – with a tribute to the iconic baseball player and Pasadena's hometown hero. Join us for a night of jazz and conversation with "All Things Considered" host Nick Roman, one of KPCC's resident baseball experts.
Bobby Bradford and his ensemble will be kicking things off with the Robinson-inspired "Stealin' Home," a jazz piece commissioned by the nonprofit Baseball Reliquary. Following the performance, Nick and special guests will be talking baseball and how Robinson's influence is still shaping American culture (from playgrounds to the big leagues) today.
Now's your opportunity to join Nick and KPCC In Person in celebration with an evening that will fuse together jazz and baseball, two of Robinson's inspirations.
The Bobby Bradford ensemble features Bobby Bradford (trumpet/cornet), Vinny Golia (woodwinds), Chuck Manning (tenor saxophone), William Roper (tuba), Don Preston (piano), Henry Franklin (bass), and Tina Raymond (drums).
Tommy Davis – former Major League Baseball player
Peter Dreier – author and political science professor at Occidental College
Mark Langill – team historian of the Los Angeles Dodgers
Byron Motley – documentarian, author and singer
Kathy Robinson-Young – niece of Jackie Robinson
Adult and nonalcoholic beverages will be available for purchase before and after the program.
Bar opens at 7 p.m.
Show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Michigan State wants an aircraft carrier game in 2013
By Raphielle JohnsonMay 24, 2012, 8:00 PM EDT
Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis, who was recently named Athletic Director of the Year by Sports Business Journal, said on Thursday that the school is interested in playing in the 2013 Carrier Classic according to Diamond Leung of mlive.com.
The Spartans took place in the inaugural event last November, losing to North Carolina on the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego.
"There is nothing solidified," Hollis said Thursday. "We're looking at the possibility of something in '13 in Florida.
"It's difficult to tie one of those billion-dollar warships down two years in advance, but if we did so, we'd want to take it to Florida."
Connecticut will play on a carrier in Florida this fall while Syracuse and San Diego State will play on the USS Midway in San Diego.
But who would Michigan State play on the carrier in 2013 should they get the opportunity? Hollis has stated twice that he would like to get Notre Dame back on the schedule, so maybe they'd be a fit.
The two schools haven't met on the basketball court since 1979, playing far more often on the football field.
There's still time before a decision's made as to who will play in the 2013 game but it's obvious that these games are a good idea for a sport that really doesn't have an "opening day" of any sort.
While it's tough to steal too many eyeballs away from college football in November, playing games on an aircraft carrier tend to bring some much-needed early season attention to college basketball.

What is a Blended Cyber School?
A blended cyber school is a school that combines both face to face learning and online learning.
This coming year, nearly all students in the cyber program will spend some time with our Blended Team of Teachers at the TLC building located behind the JTL Intermediate School.
In addition, our cyber students will continue to have the support of our qualified district cyber teachers and the concept coaches available through Edgenuity.
As students progress and provide evidence of their success by maintaining an appropriate pace, a minimum grade point average, and an appropriate number of hours online, they will earn their way out of the blended program for longer periods of time if they desire.
The blended cyber concept ensures all of our students are successful at fulfilling their educational needs, while still allowing for the tremendous flexibility that online learning affords its students.
Our goal is to provide ESASD students a different choice for their education.
We aim to provide a school where you, the student, have a level of flexibility to learn how you want to learn, when you want to learn, and where you want to learn.
Still unsure if our cyber program is right for you or your student? Then please attend one of our informational meetings. Return to this site soon for dates, location, and times.
Informational meetings will held on the following dates: August 6th, 9th, 14th, and the 20th. The meetings start at 7p.m. and will be held at our new location, the TLC building behind the JTL Intermediate School.
For more information, please contact the ESACA at 570-424-7831 or email me at william-vitulli@esasd.net.

Q: How to get the Form data validated by manager/admin before storing in database i am try to create a application which requires Form filled data will be sent to manager/lead for validation before storing it in database. I had an idea about redirecting to manager login page when submitting form data, but i think its not feasible . is it possible any other way ???

A: The easiest way to do this would be to store the information in the database before approval.  Then, add a column to the table called 'approved' that is initially set to 0.  When the manager approves it, set it to 1.

A: Just store it in the database, but add a column indicating manager approval.
Have everything (except the manager approval interface) ignore the row until that column is marked approved.

XsunX Transparent Solar Cell on Thin-Film Plastics Moves Closer in a New Generation of Energy
PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Aliso Viejo, CA, United States, 2005/06/08 - XsunX, Inc. announced today that its recent development of transparent solar cells on thin-film plastics has moved the Company closer to its goal of having its Power Glass(tm) technology used in the design and construction of modern buildings..

XsunX Transparent Solar Cell on Thin-Film Plastics Moves Closer to Ushering in a New Generation of Energy Efficient Buildings
XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX), developer of Power Glass(tm) -- an innovative solar technology that allows windows to produce electricity from the power of the sun, announced today that its recent development of transparent solar cells on thin-film plastics has moved the Company closer to its goal of having its Power Glass(tm) technology used in the design and construction of modern buildings. The Company's Power Glass(tm) initiative is driven by the growing worldwide interest in the building integration of renewable energy systems.
The process of integrating energy producing technology into building design and materials is known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics or ``BIPV.'' In the use of BIPV technologies, the solar power elements actually become an integral part of the building, often serving as the exterior weathering skin. The Company is working to commercialize its Power Glass(tm) technology for applications in the worldwide architectural glass and building material markets as a BIPV technology.
The rising demand for electrical power generation sources is fueling the robust growth in international markets of installed solar electric systems. In the U.S., this demand is anticipated to grow substantially from less than 0.4 GW in 2003 to 200GW by 2030. This growth in installed solar systems would equate to the same amount of new solar electrical production by 2030 as having built 40 new large nuclear facilities. For an approximate comparison, a large nuclear power plant generates about 5GW of power.
"Electrical power generation is rapidly becoming an issue of not how much fuel is needed to meet growing power generation demands, but rather the cost of building new power generation facilities, distribution networks, and dealing with the environmental impacts,'' said Tom M. Djokovich, CEO, XsunX, Inc.
XsunX believes that the use of inexpensive plastics to produce rolls of thin-film transparent solar cells may represent a high degree of commercial viability to the multi-billion dollar glass and high performance coatings industry. The use of plastics is very prevalent in the thin films industry for the manufacture of non energy producing films that control solar heat and UV rays in windows worldwide. The Company intends to integrate the use of these types of films into the scalable aspects of its patented reel-to-reel manufacturing process to produce rolls of transparent solar cells.
About XsunX
XsunX, Inc. is developing Power Glass(tm) -- an innovative solar technology that allows glass windows to produce electricity from the power of the sun. This means that inhabitants of buildings that have Power Glass(tm) films integrated into the skin of the building will be able to continue to view the great outdoors -- as if they were looking through conventional glass windows. The difference is that these windows will now produce electricity to use to offset dependency on local utility supplied power and increase overall building operational efficiencies. This use of photovoltaics in building materials is a growing market opportunity referred to as Building Integrated Photovoltaics or "BIPV". XsunX intends to become a recognized leader in the Building Integrated Photovoltaics industry. The Company plans to market the XsunX Power Glass(tm) solar cell structure and manufacturing process as a competitive alternative to non-energy producing coatings and glazing for applications in the worldwide architectural glass, optical film, and plastics markets.

Teens for Change grantee profile: Prime Stage Theatre
adminNovember 6, 2014News
Read the newest grantee profile from Teens for Change board member, Gabrielle Moran.
With October having been National Domestic Violence Awareness Month it only seems appropriate to select a project fitting the theme to continue Teens for Change recognition of our youth-led social justice grantees. On September 30, 2014, in his Presidential Proclamation of October being National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, President Barack Obama stated, "Today, as 1 out of every 10 teenagers are physically hurt on purpose by someone they are dating, we seek to once again profoundly change our culture and reject the quiet tolerance of what is fundamentally unacceptable" (http://www.whitehouse.gov). Only one day before the proclamation I conducted an interview with Micah Rabin and Burke Rhodes of Prime Stage Theatre's production, You Belong to Me, a play centralized around teen dating violence funded by a Teens for Change grant in 2012.
Micah, seventeen, has the female lead of Ally, and Burke, fifteen, was cast as Ally's abusive boyfriend David. This tour season is Micah's second year in the production. This will be Burke's first year involved in the production. Both actors have pursued acting for many years prior to their involvement with Prime Stage Theatre. You Belong to Me was originally written by Debbie Lamedman. The piece follows a personal testimony from Ms. Jodi Cuccia, whose daughter Demi Cuccia, a student from Gateway High School, was a victim of teen dating violence. The production successfully performed five times during last year's touring season. Micah and Burke revealed how the topic of teen dating violence still holds a taboo status amongst this generation. Burke explained that schools are not as open to discussing teen dating violence as they should be. He further explained that schools are likely one of the best venues to gather, draw attention to, and educate students on the matter. As stated on http://demibrae.com, "1 in 3 teens experience some kind of abuse in their romantic relationships." This alarming statistic is accompanied by the painfully true fact that only 33% of abused teen partners have informed anyone of their suffering. The play shows how the abuser thrives on the control he or she gains from the victim. Burke discussed that he has been able to explore the mindset of the abuser through his preparation for this role. He explained that like the victim, the abuser also faces insecurity, which in turn can contribute to his or her abusive behavior. The abuser may view his or her partner as someone whom he or she will as be able to rely on. In the occurrence of an apology, to a certain degree the abuser can be genuine in his or her apology.
The actors also explained that there are many levels, variations, and stages of abuse. Teenage abuse can be in the forms of emotional, physical, verbal, or sexual abuse. Verbal abuse often precedes physical abuse. Micah told that there can be verbal abuse without physical, but the converse is not as likely to occur. Both actors also gave insight to an often ignored subtopic to teen dating abuse, female abusers. This situation may not occur as often, but it must be recognized. Burke gave the example of a female in a relationship manipulating her partner continually. When potentially entering a relationship, one must evaluate whether or not it is a healthy choice for him or hers and if there are any signs of beginning stages of abuse. If not recognized early on in the relationship, abuse can escalate to levels with lethal consequences. Abusive relationships have their highs and lows. There are moments of apologies, aspects of the apology may be genuine, but the abuser typically is aware of his or her manipulative ways over the victim.
When asked about the triggers of abuse, Micah and Burke explained how social stigmas and past experiences in the life of the abuser contribute to abuse. Micah vividly described that the negative social stigma of being alone rushes young people into relationships that they may not be prepared for or ones that are purely unhealthy. Both actors told how every situation is different in the sense that an abuser may be affect by past experiences. Some abusers were raised by parents in an abusive relationship, others may have had a fairly normal childhood and a reason such as a chemical imbalance in the brain may cause abusive patterns to form in a person's behavior.
There are many valuable lessons that can be gained from attending a performance of You Belong to Me. Micah has experienced in past years that the production makes a substantial impact on the audience, due to the fact that they are then able to understand that teen dating violence could affect their own lives. Having a cast of solely young adult actors helps to add emphasize of how realistic these circumstances are. The play provides the audience with a sense of how shamefully common teen dating abuse is, tactics on how to handle an abusive situation properly, and an education including how to identify signs of abuse. There is something for a member of any generation to gain from viewing this production. By indulging in an education on this matter, and spreading our knowledge of the matter, we support the social change led by the youth of Prime Stage Theatre and bring awareness to the social change work that youth are doing in our community.
*Prime Stage Theatre will be performing You Belong to Me TONIGHT, November 6th at 7pm at New Hazlett Theatre. Donations Accepted!

Testamentary capacity may be the most loaded word in Canadian law - loaded with financial ramifications, that is.
Picture yourself at home one lazy Sunday morning when the call comes in from your sister. "Dad's dead," she announces through tears. You knew it was imminent as you had seen your father a few months ago; you had said goodbye and he had trouble recognizing you.
"That's not all," the voice says on the other end of the line. "He signed a new will the day before he died and left everything to the hospital."
This kind of stuff happens very, very often.
Seniors with dementia often get it stuck in their minds that they want to impact upon their new reality with a new will.
To estate lawyers, the issue is known as testamentary capacity; did the testator (the person who died) have a sound mind at the time of signing the new will? If not, it's not worth the paper it's written on; it is void and unless there's a prior valid will to rely on, the estate gets divided pursuant to the intestate statute of your jurisdiction.
Wills done by kids (i.e. under the age of majority) is a whole other kettle of fish and will not be treated in this article.
Adults - those of the age of majority - are presumed to be of sound mind and that's the starting point of any testamentary capacity discussion.
"It is presumed that the testator was sane at the time when he made his will but if the question of his sanity is contested, the onus is on the person propounding the will to prove that the testator was of sound disposing mind at the time he made his will."
"The English law leaves everything to the unfettered discretion of the testator. It is essential to the exercise of such power that a testator shall understand the nature of the act and its effects; shall understand the nature of the property of which he is disposing; shall be able to comprehend and appreciate the claims to which he ought to give effect and, with a view to the latter object, that no disorder of the mind shall poison his affections, pervert his sense of right or prevent the exercise of his mental faculties; that no insane delusions shall influence his will in disposing of his property and bring about a disposal of it which, if the mind had been sound, would not have been made. "
Age in and of itself is no proof of an unsound mind.
"It is one of the painful consequences of extreme old age that it ceases to excite interest, and is apt to be left solitary and neglected. The control which the law still gives to a man over the disposal of his property is one of the most efficient means which he has in protracted life to command the attention due to his infirmities."
"... when the fact that a testator has been subject to some form of mental illness is established, a will executed by him must be regarded with great distrust, and every presumption should in the first instance be made against it. The presumption against such a will becomes additionally strong where the will is an inofficious one, i.e., one in which natural affection and the ties of near relationship have been disregarded."
"... a person must be of sound mind, memory and understanding to be able to make a valid will.
"When a will is contested on the ground of mental incapacity, the propounder must prove that the testator understood what he or she was doing: that the testator understood the nature and quality of the act. The testator must be able to comprehend and recollect what property he or she possessed, the persons that ordinarily might be expected to benefit, the extent of what is being given to each beneficiary and, finally, the nature of the claims of others who are being excluded."
"... he must, in the language of the law, have a sound and disposing mind and memory. In other words he ought to be capable of making his will with an understanding of the nature of the business in which he is engaged, a recollection of the property he means to dispose of, of the persons who are the objects of his bounty, and the manner in which it is to be distributed between them.
"It is not necessary that he should view his will with the eye of a lawyer and comprehend its provisions in their legal form. It is sufficient if he has such a mind and memory as will enable him to understand the elements of which it is composed, and the disposition of his property in its simple forms."
The mere fact of an unusual will does not make it void.
In Re Millar, the testator referred, in a will that went unchallenged as to capacity, to his "folly in gathering and retaining more than I require in my lifetime" and then left shares in a brewery to each and every Protestant Minister in Toronto at the time of his death!
The assessment of testamentary capacity is not of the exclusive purview of the medical profession.
"It is a practical question which may be answered by a layman of good sense with as much authority as by a doctor.
"... the testimony of the (medical) experts should not outweigh the testimony of eye-witnesses who had opportunities for observation and knowledge of the testatrix and the instrument propounded was the last will of a free and capable testator."
"Mr. Rampone was competent to make a will and ... at the same time he was incompetent to manage his own affairs."
In Re Ferguson, the fact of a testatrix suffering from senile dementia was not enough to vitiate the will although admittedly, senile dementia is a progressive disease. Similarly, in Re Doiron, memory failure did not suffice to set aside the will.
The reality is that once challenged, the burden of proof shifts to the person who must prove the will (usually the executor) but at the end of the day, the question of the capacity of the testator falls on the court to answer. Only the court can weigh competing interests and balance self-serving evidence of executor, beneficiary or other parties.
"Once it is proven that a will was duly executed, the knowledge and approval of the contents of the will and testamentary capacity will be presumed.
"However, where there is evidence of suspicious circumstances, this presumption is vacated and the propounder must then prove that the testator knew and approved the contents of the will. If the suspicious circumstances relate to mental capacity, the propounder must also prove testamentary capacity.
"The standard of proof is not altered by the presence of suspicious circumstances; rather, it remains the civil standard of balance of probabilities."


The Indigenous philosophy, with a focus on restoration, seeks to harmonize the underlying conflict and restore balance to the individuals affected and the community at large. Under this system, the judiciary works to restore relationships and heal lives. One of the primary goals of this system is reintegration into the community.
American justice is based on rules and principles. Indigenous justice is based on human relationships and webs of connectivity.
James Zion, former Solicitor to the courts of the Navajo Nation, says that "The basic concepts of Indian justice are relationships, reciprocity, solidarity and process…[and] understanding that what I do has an impact on you and what you do has an impact on me." Zion goes on to say that the Anglo world has a lot to learn from this concept.
There is clear alignment between the restorative practices of contemporary tribal courts and traditional forms of indigenous justice. Restorative court systems often employ a team of individuals who work with the parties to resolve the dispute. This is similar to the traditional system that consisted largely of a council of tribal elders or other designees. As mentioned above, this form of justice recognizes that the offender will eventually be reintroduced into the community. Therefore, it seeks to heal the underlying causes of the troublesome behavior, to prevent repetition in the future. Former Navajo Justice, Ray Austin, tells us that indigenous courts are focused on restoring harmony and balance to the spirit of the individual who commits the offense, because it is believed that people who are whole do not engage in harmful actions. In this way, you are also helping to restore balance and harmony to the community.
Shanti Thakur looked at restorative justice practices in her film Circles. The film focuses on the practice of circle sentencing, which is currently being employed in the Yukon where incarceration rates for Indigenous peoples is disproportionately high. It looks at the fact that going to jail was simply a natural extension of attending residential boarding schools for many indigenous peoples. Circle sentencing seeks to heal the offender, the victim and the community. Circle sentencing is based on traditional Indigenous peacemaking practices using negotiation and consensus. Under this system, all parties to a dispute come together to determine the appropriate response to the crime. This process consists of multiple phases and is overseen by a community justice committee. In phase one the community justice committee interviews the offender. In phase two, there are separate healing circles held for both the victim and the offender. Phase three brings everyone together to work out an appropriate sentencing plan. And, in phase four the justice committee conducts follow-up circles to monitor and discuss the offender's progress and next steps.
Another form of restorative justice involves the use of family group conferencing. Family group conferencing is also reflective of traditional tribal practices, paralleling the function of a family clan council. Here, the victim, offender, family, friends, co-workers, teachers and spiritual leaders all come together to take collective responsibility for the victim and the offender.
An immediate warning by the police.
Police requiring the offender to apologize or provide community service.
Each of these different forms of restorative justice provide an opportunity to bring balance and harmony to the entire community, something that is often lacking in the American Justice system. Restorative justice helps communities to view crime as more than an isolated criminal offense. It views it as a symptom of a larger problem and allows parties to find a lasting resolution to those problems, so that they are not repeated in the future.
Crime consists of more than a violation of the criminal law and defiance of authority.
Crimes involves disruption in the three dimensional relationships of victim, community and offender.
Because crime harms the victim and the community, the primary goals should be to repair the harm and heal the victim and the community.
The victim, community and offender should participate in determining the response to crime; it is believed that the government should release its monopoly over that process in order to make it more effective to the individuals involved.
Case disposition should be based primarily on the victim's and the community's needs, not solely on the offender's needs or culpability, the danger that he/she presents or on their criminal history.
The practice of restorative justice is becoming more and more prevalent. The increase in participation has caused some within the criminal justice system to raise a flag of concern. The primary concern has been with the inability to track restorative justice outcomes. Proponents argue that creating stricter guidelines that are focused solely on traceable outcomes will hamper the process, making it less likely that practices will be specifically geared toward the needs of the individuals involved.
As tribal courts become more self-determined and sophisticated, it will be interesting to see the long term role that restorative justice practices will have. In the end, the community will have to decide if they want to move their court toward a more Americanized structure, or if they want to organize their court in alignment with the traditions and beliefs of the communities they serve.

Shopping for sex toys can be intimidating, especially if you're just starting to build your collection. That's a big part of the appeal of buying them on Amazon—you're not just guaranteed quick shipping via Amazon Prime, you're guaranteed plenty of privacy, too.
But here's the catch: There's a lot of junk on Amazon. From lousy vibrators that'll break after a couple uses or toys made with ultra-cheap materials that could irritate sensitive skin, some of the highest-rated sex toys under $50 on Amazon are actually some of the worst. Many are from no-name brands and aren't made to the same standards as products from established sex-tech companies such as LELO, Doc Johnson, Tantus, or Aneros, among others.
Fortunately, there's still a way to shop for affordable sex toys on Amazon and get items that'll last. For years, I worked as a freelancer covering sex tech for different outlets and tested a variety of products, including the most popular vibrators, lubricants, and more—but along the way, I've also tested plenty of duds and I know what to look out for, especially shopping on a budget.
With that in mind, I culled through the best sellers to find these 18 sex toys under $50 that are worth every penny. Each toy is from a leading sex-tech brand, which means you can trust that these products will perform and that the Amazon reviews are legitimate. And, of course, you can get them all delivered discreetly to your door, so only you and your partner (and some random Amazon warehouse employees) will know what happens behind your bedroom door.
1. This oral sex stimulator with more than 6,000 rave reviews
Credit: Satisfyer
Can't get no satisfaction between the sheets? Try this instead.
Trying the Satisfyer Pro 2 for the first time was a surreal experience and unlike any other toy I'd ever used before (or, frankly, since). Designed to simulate the sensations of oral sex, this toy works by creating little pressure waves around the clitoris, so it feels like a combination of air blowing on your skin while it's also sucking it in. The Satisfyer Pro 2 looks like an otoscope—e.g., the thing they check your ears with at the doctor's office—but it's a lot more impressive than it might seem at first glance, as it features up to 11 speeds.
With more than 6,000 stellar Amazon reviews, it's a must-have for the price (and much cheaper than the Womanizer, the other popular—and unfortunately named—oral-sex simulator on the market). Before this toy, I never thought of myself as someone who could have multiple orgasms in a row, but thanks to the Satisfyer Pro 2, not only is it possible, but they're been some of the most intense that I've ever experienced.

2. A silicone dildo with an ultra-powerful suction cup

This colorful line from NS Novelties can brighten up your goody drawer.
When it comes to suction-cup dildos, the Colours line by NS Novelties is one of the best kept secrets out there. This toy, which comes in 5-inch and 8-inch varieties, is made from body-safe silicone and makes an excellent beginner option, especially for anyone looking for a waterproof dildo with a powerful suction base. It's available in several bright colors—including blue, pink, and black—but aside from that, it looks and feels like a real penis. As a bonus, the toy is compatible with most strap-on harnesses (I've used it with my Aslan Jaguar harness and had no issues), which gives it a little extra versatility compared to other dildos at this price.

3. This c-ring that's hypoallergenic and really stretchy
Credit: Tantus
C-rings can help make erections last for even longer, which is perfect when you want a long night.
C-rings don't always seem to get the same kind of love as flashier, more tech-oriented toys do these days, but they're a useful option to have in a goody drawer, and these super-soft ones from Tantus are a steal for the price. Made from stretchy, supple silicone, this c-ring has a broad band for added comfort around the penis and is naturally hypoallergenic, meaning it's safe to use on sensitive skin. It's also dishwasher-safe, so unlike some toys that can be a hassle to clean, this one is a cinch.

4. The most legendary wand vibrator ever invented
Credit: Vibratex
This iconic wand vibrator really is as good as they say it is, especially if you go for the corded version.
Even people who don't know much about sex tech have heard about the Hitachi Magic Wand. It's been around since the late 1960s and although it was technically designed for soothing muscle aches, it shot to fame as the first of its kind: A reliable, ultra-powerful wand vibrator that sounds like a lawn mower might be going off under your sheets, but that's also guaranteed to get you going, full stop.
All these years—and a change in ownership later, as the product isn't even made by Hitachi anymore—the legend holds up. While debate rages over which is better, the corded or cordless version (personally, I've always been pro-corded for the sheer mind-numbing power of it), one thing everyone can agree on is that the Hitachi Magic Wand is the cornerstone of any good sex toy collection.

5. A prostate stimulator that'll intensify orgasms
Credit: Aneros
Prostate stimulation can lead to better, more intense orgasms.
Aneros has been around for years—in fact, the company makes the world's first dedicated maker of prostate massagers. The Classic MGX Prostate Stimulator is its flagship. It's about 4 inches long in insertable length, made from body-safe plastic, and is relatively easy to maneuver, especially for beginners. Previous partners have loved it because of its thin, flexible size, which is less daunting than some other options. Over the years, prostate massagers have become more popular in the sex toy industry, but for anyone who's curious or hasn't ventured too much into this realm, this Aneros is a great starter option.

6. This silicone lubricant with near-perfect reviews
Credit: Uberlube
They don't call it uber for nothing.
Silicone lubricants offer a lot of benefits: They last longer than other lubes, have a higher viscosity (meaning they're extra slippery), and for certain types of play, they can reduce friction. But not all silicone lubes are created equal, and one in particular is in a class all is own. Uberlube has a major cult following on Amazon, with reviewers raving that it's ultra-silky, lasts forever, and is gentle on sensitive skin. One of the things I love the best is its easy-to-use pump, which makes dispensing the perfect amount a very quick process. While Uberlube is on the more expensive side compared to some lubes, it's well worth the investment. Word to the wise though: Silicone lubes aren't compatible with silicone toys—it'll completely ruin them—so you should avoid this and all other silicone lubes if you're considering using them with toy-based play.

7. A glass plug that's virtually unbreakable
Credit: Pipedream
This glass plug—and others in the Icicles line—are especially great if you throw them in the freezer first.
For anyone excited about temperature play, glass toys can be a fun little way to mix things up. You can chill them in the freezer and use them to explore your partner's erogenous zones or your own. Worried that glass near your most private areas sounds like a recipe for disaster? Don't be. Made from borosilicate glass—the stuff Pyrex is made out of—they're incredibly durable and not likely to break any time soon. The Pipedream Icicles line is full of fun choices, including wands, dildos, and anal plugs like No. 48, which is one of the most top-rated on Amazon. As glass toys are nonporous and hypoallergenic, they're one of the safest toys you could play with, and reviewers say they love the fullness they feel from using it.
Get the Pipedream Icicles No 48 for $15.15
8. This two-in-one vibrator that's an impressive value
Credit: CalExotics
This butterfly vibe might be just $10, but trust me, it's worth it.
Most sex toys that cost $10 are probably garbage—sorry. But CalExotics is the exception to that rule, as this brand specializes in super-affordable toys that are decent quality and surprisingly resilient. This vibrator is little but makes a big impression. It's ideal for clitoral and G-spot stimulation, and it has three built-in speeds, so you can alternate to find the perfect intensity just for you. The butterfly side is cute, but also works as a tickler. For anyone who's just starting to build their sex-tech collection, this cheap but durable vibe is an excellent choice.
Get the CalExotics Original Butterfly Kiss Vibrator for $10.19
9. A discreet stroker that's more versatile than it seems
Credit: Tenga
There's more to these eggs than meets the eye.
Tenga Eggs are kind of amazing. True, I'm not a human with a penis, so I'm not the target audience for this masturbator toy, which is shaped like a palm-sized egg and features a silicone insert with molded grooves and studs for increased friction. But all the same, I love them because they make a great sleeve attachment for my Hitachi Magic Wand, as I can pull one over the wand head and use it the same way I would any other kind of attachment. Bonus: While Tengas aren't normally reusable because they're designed to catch body fluids, just using one as a sleeve over the head of my wand means I've been able to reuse them many times.
Compared to other leading toys in the stroker category (namely, the Fleshlight), Tenga Eggs are an inexpensive, fun little pick, and this set of six even comes in an egg container. What's not to love about that?
Get the Tenga Egg Male Masturbator Set (Set of 6) for $28.29
10. This set of bejeweled plugs that are great for backdoor play
Credit: Akstore
These plugs are perfect for couples or just for solo play.
If you've never tried stainless steel or chrome-plated toys before, let this set of stunning—and shockingly inexpensive—bejeweled anal plugs be your entry point. Similar to glass toys, metal offers a sense of fullness that people really enjoy, especially for anal play. With this set of three, which come in a variety of eye-catching hues, you can ease into exploring, as the plugs are graduated in size. As a warning, the largest is rather big (and still a bit too intimidating for yours truly), but these make for a nice investment, and they look a lot more expensive than they are.
Get this Akstore Stainless Steel Jeweled Anal Plug Set of 3 for $14.99
11. This water-based lube that's so smooth, you'll think it's silicone
Credit: LELO
This water-based lube from LELO is almost as slick and long-lasting as a silicone lube.
I'm a big fan of silicone lubes for the reasons I stated earlier: They last a long time, they're slicker, and most of all, they tend to have a more lightweight feel than water-based, oil, or hybrid lubes. But there's no denying that water-based lubes are the workhorse of the lubricant world, and having one around helps, especially for extended toy play—they're compatible with all toys, including silicone ones.
If you're shopping for a water-based lube, this one from LELO is a must-have. It glides on almost as smoothly as a silicone would. Even better? It doesn't leave behind any tacky residue, which is one of the biggest pitfalls of most water-based lube options. I started using this recently, and it's the best one I've ever tried. It also comes in a sleek, subtle container and could easily be mistaken for a moisturizer or beauty product on your nightstand, which adds to the charm.
Get the LELO Intimate Personal Moisturizer for $24.90
12. A bullet vibrator that'll blend right in with your makeup bag
Credit: Screaming O
So subtle, they'll think it really is lipstick, you know.
What surprised me most while testing this little bullet vibrator was how powerful it got. At just over $12, this discreet vibe is fun for a giggle or two and was designed for on-the-go use, so you can take it anywhere. It's not the most exciting toy around—that's to say, it has one great use, and that's clitoral stimulation—but it performs really well for the price. And it's discreet: It has a soft, flexible tip that looks, at quick glance, like the top of any old standard tube lipstick.
Get the Screaming O My Secret Vibrating Lipstick for $5.01
13. This cotton rope that's gentle on skin
Credit: Doc Johnson
For Shibari lovers, this Japanese-style rope is a really affordable option.
For bondage lovers, finding good rope on a budget is a real challenge. While there are plenty of fabrics to choose from—jute, hemp, and bamboo are popular picks among seasoned riggers—this cotton rope from Doc Johnson is a great deal for this price. For under $15, you get a 32-foot length that reviewers say is flexible and offers moderate friction, but doesn't chafe or irritate sensitive skin. While not ideal for suspension work, it's a good choice for rope beginners or anyone trying to save a little extra without skimping on quality. But, as always, be sure to grab a pair of EMT shears, just in case.
Get the Doc Johnson Japanese Bondage Rope for $13.56
14. A strap-on harness that's great for all body types
Credit: Sportsheets
This O-ring harness from Sportsheets is a great choice for newbies.
Strap-on play is becoming an increasingly popular way for couples to explore consensual power exchange and other forms of kink. But finding an adjustable harness that won't break the bank, is easy to put on, and fits most body types comfortably is a tall order. Sportsheets is the maker of what I like to describe as gateway harnesses—that's to say, these are strap-on harnesses that don't cost a ton and can give the wearer a sense of whether they like pegging before investing in a pricier model. This one has a four-star rating on Amazon and comes with a sturdy metal O-ring, which can fit dildos with a flared base up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Because of its thong-style strappiness, many reviewers say it's ultra-comfy and lightweight to wear, too.
Get the Sportsheets Bare As You Dare Strap-On Adjustable Harness for $17.99
15. This silicone dildo that pegging newbies will love
The Tantus Silk is a great way to start exploring pegging and other forms of backdoor play.
That new strap-on harness you're getting from Sportsheets? You'll need a dildo to go with it. But starting out with a larger, hyper-realistic one could put potential partners off. Not to mention, using a harness comes with learning curves that may take time to master. That's why starting off slow with a small, simple dildo like this one from Tantus is a great call. Made from silicone with a flared base, this hypoallergenic option offers a mostly frictionless experience and can help both you and your partner build confidence together while venturing into this type of play for the first time.
Get the Tantus Silk Silicone Dildo for $26.99 to $44.99
16. This set of kegel exercise balls to increase pelvic floor strength
Let these little Ben Wa Balls do the work for you.
Kegel exercises help strengthen your pelvic floor, which in turn can help support vaginal health and lead to better, stronger, and more satisfying orgasms. While you could do simple clench-and-release exercises throughout the day, these kegel exercise balls from LELO are another terrific way to get your daily exercises out of the way. Whether you're looking to increase the intensity of your orgasms or give your muscles down below a boost after giving birth, these Ben Wa balls get the job done, and reviewers say they feel comfortable wearing them throughout the day as well.
Get the LELO Luna Beads Noir for $40.37
17. A double-sided dildo that's fun for couples
Double the pleasure for half the price of higher-end models.
At 12 inches in length, this double-sided dildo from Doc Johnson is a dream for couples who want to spice things up in the bedroom. It's made from body-safe PVC that's latex-free, so it's fine for those with that allergy. While some reviewers claim it has a rubbery smell at first, others say that washes away after a cleaning or two and this toy is worth the buy.
Get the Doc Johnson Crystal Jellies Double-Sided Dildo for $20.10
18. An oh-so-soft vibe that you'll just want to squeeze
Credit: Iroha
You'll definitely want to give this a squeeze.
You're doing yourself a disservice buying this battery-operated vibrator from Iroha online, but that's because the pictures don't do it justice. Super-soft and squeezable, this battery-operated vibrator is so touchable that you'd want to try it based on its texture alone. Because it's waterproof, it's great for tub use, so don't be afraid to take it in with you for those moments when you need some special alone time.
Get the Iroha Zen MATCHA for $26.76 to $29.82

Lisbon Escape Game: The Spy Room
By escapethereview | November 19, 2017
Lisbon, Nov 2017
Lisbon Escape Game
Lisbon's oldest escape game draws for inspiration on the city's long time reputation as a centre for espionage, with the game's aim being to sneak into, and then escape from, the apartment of a famous spy. It was built at a time when escape rooms were a strange novelty in Europe, with only a handful existing outside Budapest, and is stylistically close to the early Hungarian games.
Built inside an old apartment in Lisbon's centre, it's not easy to spot – the entrance looks like just another residential doorway in one of the city's prettily crumbling side streets. This sets the tone for the game, which has very little decor as such, but which achieves an authentic atmosphere simply through the genuine age of its setting. Warning stickers are used to indicate areas that are out of bounds, but these are placed sparingly; there are few items in the play area that aren't available to be searched through and checked over, though not everything is relevant.
Traditional style games tend to involve a greater degree of searching, along with lots of items to discover in padlocked drawers and desks. That's true of this one too, though it involves rather less searching than we thought – we spent some time tearing the place apart convinced we'd failed to find a couple of items that in fact were released by a difficult puzzle a little later on. Even so, it's a game where players should not be complacent about checking everything carefully.
The host communicates with players via walkie talkie, and he wasn't shy about chipping in with comments and small hints as we played. More so than I'd normally be happy with, in fact, although here it was helpful in smoothing us past a few points where our assumptions about the game might otherwise have tripped us up.
He also needed to make a more blatant intervention partway through. This was for a central section that will likely be the most memorable part of the game for most teams; it has the flaw though that if a team reacts in the non-typical way that we did, it requires operator intervention to correct. I can also see this section causing some teams to get frustrated or to think there's a problem with the game, but most will likely find it an entertaining surprise.
In other respects it's a simple game (in style not difficulty – it boasts an 8% success rate for completion within the hour, though I think teams are usually allowed some extra time to complete the game after the official time limit). Don't expect a gorgeous set or elaborate storytelling; it's built mostly with found objects and second hand furniture, and I never really understood why we were breaking in so as to immediately break out again. It's clearly the passion project of its enthusiastic designer, constructed in situ on a low budget. Despite or because of that, it achieves a quirky homemade charm. It's not polished, but the location gives it plenty of character, and if you're not expecting something slicker then it shouldn't be a disappointment.
