Rochdale's chairman gives motivation as the crunch draws in
In which Michael is appalled by the Rochdale chairman's comments on City's debts as the Bantams go to Spotland in the first of three important away games.
Rochdale chairman Chris Dunphy
My opinion is that when a club goes into receivership or liquidation, they should lose the golden share and drop out of the league, I think it's grossly unfair when we go to places like Bradford City, who have wiped off debts of £38m and been bust twice, and the likes of Rotherham, who've been bust three times and wiped off their debts. It's absolutely scandalous.
Promotion is a great motivation for beating Rochdale and a win for the Bantams on Tuesday night will go a long way to establishing City's position as automatic promotion chasers but to paraphrase Wilde on an occasion such as dealing with Dunphy it becomes more than a footballing imperative to win the game. It becomes a pleasure.
Dunphy's assessment of City's financial problems is a distortion of the truth – the Bantams did not write off £38m but rather paid off a significant (in that is was all that could be afforded) chunk of the debts – I know because I was in the room when we did it – and did so in a way that handicapped the club to such an extent that rather than recovering to be reinstalled in the Premiership we end up at Spotland, playing Rochdale, in Division Four.
Dunphy – who tries to take the moral high ground on football finance – is charging £20 per adult during the credit crunch. Dunphy – who prides himself on how he runs Rochdale up to the line but no further but sees fit to criticise Rotherham United who try do the same but for the South Yorkshire flooding which plunged the club into crisis – is prepared to suggest that all as who have had financial problems are guilty by association with administrators.
Good governance in football is more than admirable – it is necessary – but it does not need the kind of advocates who use it exclusively and lash out at the unfortunate who suffer along with the financially undisciplined.
Say what you want about the causes of City's first administration but do not doubt that the second was caused by a club that spends years to that point and years after struggling to keep head above water and – at the cost of our ground – failing at one point. I was not in the room for that one but I have seen the books and Dunphy's shoestring which he claims to run Dale on would have been riches to the Bantams.
For Dunphy to use his Guardian interview to talk about writing off debts which are calculated wrongly and to associate the Bantams name with the actions of a Leicester City is reason enough for City to want to repeat the 5-0 stuffing we gave Dale three years ago and the slur on City is enough reason for Mark Lawn and Julian Rhodes to refuse the hospitality of Spotland and bunk in with the supporters.
The game begins three on the road for the Bantams and sees City back in good form with Rhys Evans three clean sheets off a new club record for a season and Peter Thorne looking as if he has found the way to the net again.
The back five of Rhys Evans, Paul Arnison, Graeme Lee, Matthew Clarke and Luke O'Brien are looking as solid as they have been save the rather massive wobbles of Barnet and Notts County. Dean Furman and Nicky Law Jnr were imperious in midfield on Saturday but the latter will look to match the former's ball winning abilities against a side who are strong at home.
Joe Colbeck looks to be returning to the kind of form that saw him cutting through teams at the start of the season and like a pair of jeans bought three years ago that were too big – Steve Jones is increasingly a good fit on the Bantams left filling in for Omar Daley. Chris Brandon's cameo did not see him kick the ball – at least not in my memory – but his impact as a non-toucher was similar to Jorge Cadete's legendary attributed goal by Dean Windass seconds after he came on.
Michael Boulding works tirelessly and Peter Thorne has three in two games. Rochdale represent a tough game but not one beyond the Bantams.

Editor's note: This post was updated at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 14.
CRAIG — At least five fires continue to burn in or near Colorado, down from the seven burning earlier in the week, and wildfire danger continues to be rated as extreme or very high across much of the state, including in Moffat County, where a red flag warning continues.
A series of storms is forecast to roll through the area during the weekend. Humidity and precipitation could bring some relief to firefighters, but crews are concerned storms could bring strong winds, and lightning could spark new fires.
The many fires burning across Colorado are impacting tourism in the state, especially in southern Colorado, where San Juan National Forest, Purgatory Resort and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad have all been closed.
Many cities have also canceled Fourth of July fireworks displays. In Steamboat Springs, the city has solidified its backup plan, and Las Vegas Lasers has been hired to put on a show at Howelsen Hill the evening of July 4.
Unnamed fire near Maybell
A fire broke out on private property near milepost 63 on U.S. Highway about 2:15 p.m., Thursday, June 14, and was pushed by winds in the direction of several structures, threatening a pole barn and multiple residences.
The fire was contained in time to prevent any loss of structures, Moffat County Sheriff KC Hume said, adding there were no injuries to people or livestock.
The final size of the area burned was not available at press time, however, it appeared to be fewer than 20 acres. The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation by the Moffat County Sheriff's Department.
Craig Fire/Rescue, Bureau of Land Management and Maybell fire departments, Maybell Emergency Medical Services, Colorado Department of Transportation and Yampa Valley Electric all responded to the fire. According to scanner traffic, the agencies were aided by a resident who used his equipment to cut a fire break between the fire and additional structures.
On Tuesday, multiple wildfires closed Colorado Highway 13 about 23 miles north of Craig, near milepost 115, and forced the evacuation of one family living in the area. Multiple fast-moving fires that ignited in sagebrush near the highway forced law enforcement to close the roadway for about five hours.
The Moffat County Sheriff's Office, Craig Fire/Rescue, Colorado Department of Transportation, Yampa Valley Electric Association and the Bureau of Land Management all responded, as well as volunteer crews from Wyoming's Baggs and Encampment. BLM assumed command of the response and brought in helicopter air support.
The fire was about 80 percent contained Tuesday, June 12, and full containment was expected by Wednesday, June 13. According to scanner traffic, firefighters were released from the scene Thursday, June 14, though some were redeployed to the fire near Maybell.
The voracious 416 Fire continues to consume acres of mostly forest lands west of U.S. Highway 550, Shawn Dawden, spokesman for the Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team, said Wednesday morning. The fire is 15 percent contained. The latest report, from about 10 p.m. Wednesday evening, puts the total acres consumed at more than 32,000, according to the National Incident Center. As of Thursday evening, acreage was expected to have increased on the south and northwestern portions of the fire. Nine hundred, ninety-eight homes are currently evacuated with 1,658 homes on pre-evacuation notice, according to the National Incident Reporting system.
The most active part of the fire is in the southwestern corner, where the blaze is approaching neighborhoods, Dawden said. Currently, 1,029 firefighters, eight helicopters and several airplanes are battling the fire.
The drought-driven wildfire has closed the San Juan National Forest in southwest Colorado for the first time in its 113-year history. The general public is prohibited from entering the 1.8 million-acre forest that stretches across nine counties. The closure comes at the beginning of the area's busy summer season, which attracts visitors and tourists from around the world.

Badger Creek Fire
The Badger Creek Fire expanded to more than 11,000 acres Wednesday as the U.S. Forest Service harnessed more resources and personnel to combat the blaze, Fire Information Officer Jackie Parks said. Hot, dry weather conditions and steady winds Tuesday played a significant role in the fire's growth, Parks said.
Structures have been destroyed in the fast-moving wildfire, which is burning just north of the Wyoming border.
The U.S. Forest Service has not disclosed how many structures were lost or if any homes have been destroyed.
"We can't say anything, because the sheriff is still making notifications," Forest Service spokesman Aaron Voos said. "There are a variety of communities that have been evacuated that the fire has not reached yet."
Smoke from the fire has been visible from northern parts of Routt County.
The Burro Fire in the Bear Creek drainage of the Dolores Valley continues to grow but is not threatening structures. As of Wednesday, June 13, the blaze, which is burning east of Dolores, had scorched 3,408 acres. Five fire crews comprising 168 firefighters are on the scene along with an engine and two bulldozers to establish a fire line.

Bocco Fire
Crews continued mop-up efforts throughout the day Thursday. Despite warm, dry and breezy conditions, there was minimal fire activity, with some smoking and smoldering within the interior of the fire perimeter, said Incident Commander Jeremy Spetter.
"Smoke and dust will continue to be visible in the coming days," Spetter said. "There are still smoldering hot spots within the fire perimeter that may continue to produce smoke; we are being very diligent with our work because of continued weather conditions."
Complete containment is expected on June 15.

Buffalo Mountain Fire
As of Wednesday morning, June 13, there was no overnight growth of the Buffalo Mountain Fire, which remained at 91 acres. All evacuations have been lifted, but pre-evacuations still remain. An expected containment date is Monday, June 18.

A lot of houses were for sale, and the town seemed infected by an unearthly quiet. And then, on Hannah's first day of classes, she ran into a group of cheerleaders — the most popular girls in school.
I'm of two minds on this one. On the one hand (or in the one mind, if you will), it was pretty fun and I caught little glimpses of something bigger that I think James was going for, a sort of social commentary/satire-ish piece on being a sheep, going with the crowd, lack of individuality, etc. (I think; maybe I'm just reading way too much in?). But on the other hand, it didn't quite come together for me. Like I said, I wasn't sure if I was just reading too much in and hoping for clever; this maybe is because there was just something lacking for me in Hannah. If it was skewering popularity and group-think, I would have expected a little more commentary from Hannah and the narration (sarcastic or otherwise) that would make it clear. Or just...something. It was a little muddy.
I think too, that part of what I felt lacking was that I didn't really connect to Hannah. I mean, I wanted to; I got why she became so focused and fixated on becoming a cheerleader. She wanted stability and acceptance and some sense of normalcy (ironic, considering). But I still needed to like her, and in the end, I just didn't. I didn't dislike her, either, and find her an anti-hero, which would have been fine. She just was, and she made some lousy choices in a really weird situation, and I couldn't put myself in her place and go with it. Which is the crux, I think, of the whole story. While it was fun, and I wasn't one of those who was angry with the ending, I just never was able to let go and go with it.
But like I said, I saw things in it that I did enjoy, and that made me just wish for a little more. Though that in itself is disappointing, it also means that there is something there that's making me feel and want. I did like what James set up in this story, and some elements were really well done indeed. The town is creepy and the cheerleaders even more so. This was the best part of the commentary (?) for me, because, setting aside that yes, they are zombies, they all look exactly alike. They all change their names to start with the same letter. They exhibit this crazy mass group-think thing that has the town captivated, and that makes for some great creepytime.
All in all Zombie Blondes ends up being caught in the middle somewhere between being fun and being meaningful, and though it may not completely work on that level, it does work as a light Halloweeny zombie read, enjoyable so long as you don't let yourself hope for too much more. And it has a flipping fantastic cover.
Thank you for your review! I don't know if I'm going to read this very soon, but maybe I'll give it a try in the future.

Traditional techniques in classical Hebrew verse
by Wilfred G E Watson, Andrew Mein (Editor), Claudia V Camp (Editor)
Before, during and after the preparation of Classical Hebrew Poetry: A Guide to its Techniques, Wilfred Watson published several articles on Hebrew poetry in a wide range of periodicals. The present volume collects together the most significant of these writings, including a chapter from a book on chiasmus, as well as a few unpublished items. After an opening survey of current work on Hebrew verse the articles cover the following topics: parallelism (including half-line parallelism, previously almost unnoticed), antithesis, word pairs, chiasmus, figurative language and introductions to speech in verse. The last section deals with structural devices and a folktale motif in narrative verse, hyperbole, apostrophe and alliteration. Previously unpublished items are on the contribution of ethnopoetics, from the study of Native American literature to Hebrew narrative verse (a new topic in biblical studies), parallelism in the Song of Songs and a metaphor in Jeremiah. This anthology is intended as a companion volume to Classical Hebrew Poetry. It includes additions and corrections to that book and there are also several indices. Read Less

End Thames Airport Plans
18 January 2011, 07:30 | Updated: 18 January 2011, 07:46
The leader of Medway Council in Kent has called on the Mayor of London to shelve once and for all his plan for a Thames Estuary airport and stop 'wasting public money' on his doomed project.
This is the council statement
The mayor has campaigned for more than two years for a new £40billion hub airport on a man-made island off the Kent and Essex coast.
But his scheme has been repeatedly rejected by the government, and the aviation industry.
Now the mayor is today (Tuesday, 18 January) holding a seminar to discuss the economic need for increased airport capacity and a new hub airport for south-east England.
Rodney Chambers, the leader of Medway Council in Kent, said: "I believe it is time that the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, realises that his pie in the sky Thames Estuary airport plan will never get off the ground.
"It has already been rejected by the government and the aviation industry – with nine out of ten air carriers saying they oppose the scheme.
"Yet, despite this, the mayor seems intent on carrying on regardless, wasting public money to try and get support for his project.
"This morning he is doing this again, holding a seminar to discuss the need for increased aviation capacity and a new hub airport for London and the south east.
"I was invited to this seminar, but decided not to go, although I have already informed Daniel Moylan, the deputy chair of Transport for London, of our view when he was dispatched to my office by the mayor to try and cut a deal over their airport plan.
"In this meeting, which was just before Christmas, I told Mr Moylan that I agree with the government's view that we should fully use the capacity already available at existing UK airports – linked by high speed rail lines – rather than waste billions of pounds building a new one.
"Despite me informing Mr Moylan of this, he then asked me in this meeting if we in Medway would agree to an airport in the estuary if all the infrastructure for it, such as new train lines, roads etc., was based in Essex and not Kent.
"I responded that we in Medway can't comment on what should or should not happen in Essex and reaffirmed the opinion of all at Medway Council and the vast majority of people in Kent, that the mayor's island airport scheme is unnecessary, unworkable and unaffordable."
Medway Council and Kent County Council argue that an estuary airport would turn parts of Medway and Kent into a concrete jungle and disrupt the environment off the Hoo Pensinsula where the island airport would be built – a place with Sites of Special Scientific Interest and internationally important areas used by hundreds of thousands of migrating birds.
The campaign argues that instead of building a new airport in the Thames Estuary the capacity of existing airports, where the infrastructure is already in place, should be fully used.
For instance, Manston Airport, in Kent, has one of the longest runways in Europe and already has a high-speed rail link while Birmingham International Airport has previously said it could double its capacity, allowing an extra nine million passengers to fly from it annually.

Apply Now Term Dates
Stage Management, Lighting & Electrics, Sound & Scenic Crafts.
The FdA course is an intensive two-year programme for students who already have some knowledge of Stage Management/technical theatre or students that have already gained a degree.
The course provides students with advanced level skills and knowledge in Stage Management and technical theatre so that they can be employed directly on completion of the course in professional theatre companies and other related industries.
Teaching is integrated with the BA (Hons) Production Arts course, and students on the two programmes are usually taught together.
In the first two terms the course provides a grounding in all core production skills needed to work as a professional.
During this first year they learn theoretical and practical aspects of stage management, lighting, sound, prop-making and scenic construction.
They also learn a range of common skills: communication, problem solving, time management and leadership.
In the following four terms, the students are treated as professionals, with support and mentoring from tutors.
They work in Stage Management, prop-making, construction and technical teams on public productions and work closely with other production departments.
Production Arts

Academic and Student Support
The School is committed to selecting, training and supporting students, regardless of ethnicity, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation or religion. Applicants are chosen solely on the basis of their talent and potential to develop the skills required for their chosen profession. The School does, however, judge applicants on their suitability for a course and their potential to successfully complete the training, as the work is rigorous and requires high levels of energy and commitment.
Student Support on the programmes at the School covers a variety of areas such as support for disabled students, academic support, student finance and health and welfare. Julia Heeley, Student Support Manager, is able to answer queries about support available for disabled applicants/students. Her email address is [email protected] and she can also be reached by telephone on 0117 980 9247.
Our Academic and Student Support services team provides help in the following areas:
Support for students with disabilities including specific learning difficulties
In our admissions process, we are committed to supporting students with disabilities. Disabled students are encouraged to disclose their support requirements so that we can endeavour to meet them during the audition or interview process and subsequent training. The School welcomes all students regardless of disability. It is our aim to provide appropriate support so that all students are able to achieve their full potential.
Students with a disability will be provided with advice and support from the Student Support Manager. If you have a disability or specific learning difficulty we recommend you contact her either prior to starting your course or during your first few weeks at the School to discuss any support requirements you may have. This may include support resulting from disabilities such as sensory impairment, learning difficulties such as dyslexia or dyspraxia or mental health difficulties.
We recognise that everyone is an individual and we will work with students to identify potential barriers to training and do what we can to remove those barriers. We will also make any necessary reasonable adjustments, to ensure that disabled students can train at the School.
Quickscan screening
We are aware that nationally there is a very high proportion of students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) e.g. dyslexia or dyspraxia, in institutions which specialise in art, design or the performing arts. During your first week, the School encourages all students to take a short questionnaire known as QuickScan. It takes the form of an on-line, easy to navigate, questionnaire which will help to identify your learning style and specific areas of learning strengths and weaknesses. It is used in conjunction with other indicators, including student disclosure (as part of the interview and registration process), tutor feedback on practical and written work, and students expressing their concerns and any support requirements which may become apparent during their studies.
Disabled Student Allowance (DSA)
UK students with disabilities (including Specific Learning Difficulties and long-term Mental Health conditions) can apply for the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA). DSA usually provides support for students with the specialist equipment and tools necessary to support you with your studies, including software, hardware and study skills support. Unlike a student loan, DSA does not have to be repaid. However, it is rarely awarded in the form of financial support.
Applications are made through Student Finance England (SFE), Student Finance Wales (SFW), or Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS). In order to apply for DSA, Student Finance will require evidence of any impairment or disability. This may take the form of a doctor's or specialist's letter or, more often, a report from an Educational Psychologist (Diagnostic Assessment Report).
If you require a Diagnostic Assessment from an Educational Psychologist, the Student Support Manager can arrange this for you and can guide you through the process.
Personal Academic Support
Various staff members at the School can help in different ways if you need academic support. If you need help with the content of classes or assessment work, you can ask the relevant head of course, tutor or your pastoral care tutor for an appointment or you can ask the Student Support Manager to arrange a tutorial with the relevant member of staff on your behalf. If you make an appointment, you can prepare for the meeting and discuss your concerns away from class. Heads of courses, modules leaders and individual tutors can all help you with understanding aspects of your training and can offer overall guidance or advice about your programme of study.
Study skills (including reading, note-taking and presentation skills)
Study skills support is usually arranged for students who have been awarded support through Disabled Student Allowance (DSA). However, the Student Support Manager will be happy to arrange one to one study skills support for you if deemed appropriate and necessary.
Mental Health, wellbeing and counselling
BOVTS recognises the challenges faced by students entering higher education and that training in a conservatoire institution can place great demands on a student both physically and emotionally.
The School has a student therapy and counselling service, which is organised and staffed by accredited, registered psychotherapists and counsellors and is there to help with any more deep-seated personal problems on which pastoral tutors are not qualified to advise. If students wish to have an initial assessment with a therapist or counsellor, they should contact the School's Student Support Manager. A strict professional code of confidentiality is always maintained.
Student welfare and pastoral care
We actively encourage students to develop a pro-active and positive approach to their own 'wellness'. We are preparing professionals to enter physically and mentally challenging professions and we work to enable students to sustain a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle.
Every student is assigned a pastoral tutor who monitors their progress throughout the year in addition to having access to the Student Support Manager. All students have tutorials with their head of course, head of year or allocated pastoral care tutor in which non-teaching issues can be discussed. A confidential tutorial can be requested of any member of the full-time teaching staff on your course.
In addition, BOVTS students have access to UWE's Student Wellbeing Service, details of which can be found on UWE Bristol's website.
For further information on support which the School offers, please see the Guide to Student Support.
You will be taught by an experienced teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the course.
The team includes Head of Course, Stage Management, Lighting, Sound, Construction, Props, Employment Preparation and Recorded Media Tutors, plus visiting specialist professionals.
You can learn more about our staff by visiting our staff profiles.
Students are assessed on their professional practice on a pass or fail basis.
Judgements about students' performance are made against the relevant industry standards.
UWE qualifications are awarded as nonclassified/non-differentiated.
Each module has one element of assessment and students are assessed on basic competencies in each module and ability to work to the project brief.

Timefield weaves together stories of memory and forgetting, of nature and ageing. It draws attention to the fragility of humanity as an integral part of nature. It is an exploration of the passage of time and its effect on the landscape of our bodies and our planet.
This is a cross-art collaborative installation developed by six older artists. It includes projections of long exposure photographs showing the impact of time on the body, large scale painted wall-hangings that communicate the force of nature, and a soundscape that integrates spoken word and sound drawn from the natural world.
Featuring work by Ian Cameron, Kate Clayton, Frank McElhinney, Annie Peel, Lesley Wilson and John Wills.

At RisingStack, we're continuously working on delivering Node.js tutorials to help developers overcome their biggest obstacles, and become even better, week-by-week.
In our recent Node.js survey we've been told that Debugging, understanding/using Async programming, handling callbacks and memory leaks are amongst the greatest pain-points one would face on her/his journey to become a Node Hero.
In this three-part video series, we're going through all of these topics in a detailed way - by showing and explaining the actual coding process to you.
All of the videos are captioned, so you'll have no problem with understanding what's going on by enabling the subtitles!
So, let's start Owning Node.js together!
In this very first video, I'm going to show you how to use the debug module, the built-in debugger, and Chrome DevTools to find and fix issues easily!
In the second Node.js tutorial video, I'm going to show you how you can handle asynchronous operations easily, and how you can do performant applications in Node.js using them!
In this 3-part video series @RisingStack explains #nodejs debugging, #async, memory leaks and CPU profiling.
So, we are going to take a look at error handling with asynchronous operations, and learn how you can use the async module to handle multiple callbacks at the same time.
In the 3rd Node.js tutorial of the series I teach you how to create CPU profiles and Memory Heapdumps, and how to analyze them in the Chrome DevTools profiler. You'll learn detecting memory leaks and bottlenecks easily.
I hope these videos made things clearer! If you'd like to keep getting better, I've got good news for you!
We're launching the NODE HERO program as of today, which contains further webinars and screencasts, live-coding sessions and access to our Node.js Debugging and Monitoring solution called Trace.
I highly recommend to check it out, if you'd like to become an even better Node.js developer! See you there!

UN "Human Rights Expert" Reports Jews Seek Racial Domination
A newly-released UN report epitomizes the foul anti-semitism which has overtaken the UN human rights machinery. In language reminiscent of Nazi Germany, John Dugard, the UN's "Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967", has announced that Jews seeks racial domination.
In Dugard's words: "The IDF inflicts serious bodily and mental harm on Palestinians...Palestinians throughout the OPT [Occupied Palestinian Territory] are denied freedom of movement. Can it seriously be denied that the purpose of such action is to establish and maintain domination by one racial group (Jews) over another racial group (Palestinians) and systematically oppressing them?"
Dugard's UN mandate is to demonize Israel. Palestinian human rights violations were deliberately omitted from the job description, first drafted by the UN Human Rights Commission in 1993 and continued by the "reformed" UN Human Rights Council. Dugard, a lawyer, not only accepted the one-sided mandate, he relished the opportunity to become an advocate of a one-state solution in the name of human rights. What Dugard fears most is not hate and the terrorism it fuels, but "Judaization" – the idea of a Jew living in claimed Arab land. Deliberately mirroring Nazi imagery, his report refers to Israel's security fence this way: "The Wall being built in East Jerusalem is an instrument of social engineering designed to achieve the Judaization of Jerusalem..."
The "Judaization" problem stands side-by-side with this UN champion of the Hamas government. According to Dugard, Israel has no right to refuse to transfer funds to the Hamas government. Why? "Predictably, Israel justifies its action on security grounds, but the real reason seems to be a determination to effect a regime change." A look at the Hamas Charter might help determine the wisdom of regime change: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it...There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad..." But according to this UN expert the problem is not a government dedicated to killing Jews, but the Jews themselves.
The primary tool of the UN's point-man for whipping up modern-day anti-semitism is to pillory the Jew as racist extraordinaire. Israel is the evil equivalent to apartheid South Africa. Referring to apartheid 24 times in his report, he proclaims: "Israel's laws and practices in the OPT certainly resemble aspects of apartheid." He fails to mention, predictably, that one-fifth of Israel's population is Arab – citizens who vote and hold seats in the Israeli parliament – while Arab countries are Judenrein. And Israel is the apartheid state?
The ultimate carrying-card of UN-driven anti-semitism is to blame the Jewish state for the world's ills. Dugard exemplifies this most dangerous of canards. He reports:
"For years the occupation of Palestine and apartheid in South Africa vied for attention from the international community. In 1994, apartheid came to an end...the OPT has become a test for the West, a test by which its commitment to human rights is to be judged. If the West fails this test, it can hardly expect the developing world to address human rights violations seriously in its own countries..."
Thus the UN inverts right and wrong. Why should Sudan stop genocide? It's waiting for the Jews to repent or the Jewishness of Israel to be terminated. Why should Zimbabwe stop murdering and starving its own people, white and black? Why should China grant anybody freedom of speech? Why should Saudi Arabia let women out of the house alone or into any driver's seat? Why should Egypt stop the mutilation of the genitals of the majority of its married female population? They're all waiting for a solution to the Jewish state problem.
American tax dollars were used to pay for the Dugard report and its dissemination worldwide by the UN. Isn't it about time the tap was turned off?

Zeynep hanım doğumu çok yaklaşan arkadaşına hediye olarak götürmek üzere sipariş verdi kurabiyeleri… Aslında birbirinin aynı olan modellerin fotoğrafını yayınlamıyordum ama uyuyan bebek kurabiyeyi kendimce öyle sevdim ki yayınlamak istedim bu seti de… Hiç değilse bir kısmını. Kurabiye hazırlamanın en sıkıcı kısmı bu işte, fotoğraflarını çekmek ve paketlemek. Her farklı modelde değişik çalışmaları sıra sıra diz ve çek…zor zanaat, hele bir de güzel çıkmazsa resimler, bak işe! Daha önce yaptığım bir model olursa direk paketlemeye geçiyorum, o da ayrı bir huzur oluyor; ancak blogumu boş bırakmamak adına değişik çalışmalar yapmayı da seviyorum.

Hope your having a great Thanksgiving getting stuffed!!!!!
When I told a co-worker I'd be going home for Thanksgiving, they said I was nuts for traveling for just two days time just to head back to support the store for the weekend! I really can't complain since I won't be there on Black Friday with all those cray cray's!!!!
But I really do love traditions and wouldn't want it any other way, and it really is my favorite meal of the year! So I'm heading to the Aunt and Uncles for the holiday meal.
Mother and I always have watched the parade every year. We sit and watch it and talk. It's a great parade, but how cool are these old vintage balloons from yester year?
Since my mother is in very good health and in her early 60's, I do still enjoy our time together and it is something I am truly thankful for.
If my aunt were a doll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So once again, our families will gather to celebrate the true meaning of the holiday, that's right, excessive gobbling and some awkward family dinners, but thank God mine gets along swimmingly! But it really is a good time to express our gratitude's, our health, loved ones, and so much more. And of course we can't forget the loveliness of the table setting and for all the glorious food!!!!
And for all the food and my family, and these memories I will always be thankful.
It really is all par for the course though, and wouldn't have it any other way. I'll be leaving the Casa and will return next week after another work trip, but didn't want to sign off with giving gratitude and giving THANKS to all my friends, my fellow bloggers and loyal readers, for visiting me and leaving comments. It really does tickle me so and in all the right places!
Vita Opulence has a fabulosophy on life in and out of DRAG! Vita is a stunning queen who can be seen in the West Virginia, Virginia and Washington DC scene. She reaches to the far cornerstones of her illusion creating a character that is not only dark and mysterious but EVER CHANGING! You will never know what to expect with Vita and she will keep you guessing every time she comes onto the stage .From the beautiful gowns and bobbles she wears to the nakedness that confuses you, the craziness that disrupts all of your perceptions, VITA IS DRAG at it's finest moments. VITA IS THE DEAL! Vita is truly OPULENCE!
I don't know what set it off, maybe Thanksgiving, but do you remember the Frigidaire Flair stove? When I was younger I remember when my grandmother had one.... in which she prepared our Thanksgiving feast....it was a sad day for her to replace it. It had such style, and well, flair!!!!! She was the only one I remember having one.
People say that Samantha Stevens had one in Bewitched. While this model had many imitators – for some reason, the Frigidaire Flair seems to be everyone's favorite. And look at how great the Danish Modern orange looks with the pink… and the gold in this ad… and are those popovers in the oven on the left? And I love the detail on the oven doors!
The Frigidaire Flair was introduced in 1962 when Frigidaire was a subsidiary of General Motors. The electric burners roll in and out of the appliance on a surface that functions like a drawer. When they're not in use, they just slide out of view. The double ovens ,one's a full-size and the other's a Dutch oven sit right at counter height. The oven doors lift up instead of swinging out. Aside from its unconventional looks, the design of the Flair makes a whole lot of sense and I can imagine that cooking on one is comfortable and efficient.
This is an ad from 1962. Frigidaire promised the Flair was The happiest thing that ever happened to cooking... OR YOU! Cooking appliances made today tend not to last for 40 years, or have the neat character they once had. But by the same token, people don't take care of appliances they way they once did either.
Oh dear I would love to have one now. I told you before I was born in the wrong time.
Trust that glamorous British dress designer Betty Jackson to produce such a handsome son. I present to you an especially handsome man named Oliver Jackson-Cohen, who is a very hot British actor with a wealth of experience in television and film. In late October, he started to appear in the epic new television adaptation of the iconic horror story "Dracula" for NBC.
After being inspired to take up acting by watching his mum's best friend Jennifer Saunders on the Absolutely Fabulous set, 21-year-old Oliver became a star himself as the ardent young gamekeeper Philip in BBC's Lark Rise to Candleford – the cast of which was led by Jennifer's Ab Fab co-star Julia Sawalha and comedy partner Dawn French. My local PBS has started airing the reruns of Lark Rise, have you seen it? It's a great show.
Thus far in his career, Oliver has starred in some of the best-loved television dramas in the U.K. In his first major television role, as said above, he played lead character Philip White on the BBC's period drama "Lark Rise to Candleford," an adaptation of Flora Thompson's autobiographical novel. Following this, he was accepted into the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute and relocated to New York to continue his studies as an actor.
I have known of him for some time, but Lark Rise and Dracula are my first tastes of him. Dracula is pretty good, not as addictive as American Horror Story, but it is pretty well done. It is starting to grab my attention, but most of it is due to Oliver, ohhhhhhh my! If he could be my next husband, maybe this minx would settle down!!!! He could definitely keep me warm at night. And if Dracula doesn't work out, maybe Downton Abbey could find a place for him in the manor house!!!! I know when he's on screen my mood enhances!!!!
I'm off today and only work for two days this week!!! Plus it's TURKEY WEEK!!!! I'll be heading to see family for Thanksgiving, where my aunt prepares quite the feast. She is one of two people I know who can follow a Julia Child recipe...her idol I suppose! I hate to eat such a majestic bird, but I only really enjoy it once a year plus any left overs. And please make sure your turkey if possible is from a reputable turkey farm, where they are raised with love and care.
Over Heard at Brunch....with Hashtags.

Before the match against Deportivo, the Camp Nou and FC Barcelona paid tribute to the authors of the 'Cant del Barça,' the name of the Club's official anthem. The 'Cant del Barça' was written by Josep Maria Espinàs and JaumePicas, and the music was composed by Manuel Valls. Espinàs, the only one who is still alive, was acknowledged by the Club and the fans.
First, President Sandro Rosell gave the Espinàs a Barça strip with the author's name on it, during an event that was also attended by the widow of Picas, the son of Manuel Vallas, the ex-President Agustí Montal and Antoni Ros-Marbà, orchestra director when the anthem was first written. "I tried to make it singable, with short sentences and with the emphasis on the right parts. Many years have gone by and the anthem is becoming widely accepted. It's beautiful," said Espinàs.
"Nearly 40 years have passed since a Board of Directors thought the Club needed its own anthem. I think it's appropriate to congratulate Agustí Montal for his idea. Many other administrations have passed as have many years, perhaps too many, before President Rosell's Board decided to publicly recognise the authors of the anthem.
"Neither Jaume Picas nor the composer Manuel Valls are with us. I am still here to thank you for this acknowledgement, and a very big thank you to the Barcelonistas who have adopted and made this anthem yours.
"The 'Cant del Barça' represents, in addition to a great Club, Barcelona and Catalonia throughout the world. We saw a group of young Japanese fans dressed up in Barça kits sing the song in Catalan.
"But the anthem belongs to you. It represents what you love. It represents what you feel.

THE PRAIRIE EDITOR: The Primary Season 2018: What's Left?
There are 19 states which have yet to hold their 2018 primary elections;
six of them are of special interest because of their implications in the
national mid-term voting that will determine which party will control
the two houses of Congress and some key governorships during the
2020 redistricting.
With most of the state primaries occurring earlier, a number of states
wait until August and September to give political party voters the
final opportunity to pick their nominees for the November election.
None take place in July, but many, including the six of special interest,
are scheduled for August.
On August 7, Michigan and Missouri will hold their primaries. In
Michigan, incumbent Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow is
expected to be re-elected, but this state which voted for Donald
Trump in 2016 is enough of a battleground that the GOP senate
nominee might be important. The race for governor could be close.
Republican state Attorney General Bill Schuette and Democratic
State Senator Gretchen Whitmer are the frontrunners.
Also on August 7, Missouri will hold its primaries. Incumbent
Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill and state Attorney General
Josh Hawley will be the nominees in a bitter race that is considered a
prime possibility for a GOP senate pick-up.
One week later, on August 14, neighboring Wisconsin and Minnesota
hold their primaries. Wisconsin is nominating gubernatorial and
senatorial candidates. Incumbent GOP Governor Scott Walker is now
favored to win re-election, but incumbent Democratic Senator Tammy
Baldwin's favorability poll numbers are quite low. A heated and close
race to be her GOP opponent is taking place between state legislator
Leah Vukmer and former Democrat Kevin Williamson. Depending on
who the Republicans nominate, this race could be competitive in
On the same day, Minnesota holds some of the most interesting
primaries of the year in both parties for governor, two U.S. senate
seats, and in five of the state's eight congressional districts. I have
written about these already, and will again just before primary day.
Two weeks later, on August 28, Florida and Arizona hold key
primaries involving governor, a U.S. senate seat and some of its
congressional seats. Incumbent GOP Governor Doug Ducey is
favored to win his primary and the general election, but the U.S.
senate seated being vacated by retiring GOP Senator Jeff Flake is
considered a toss-up. Democratic Congresswoman Krysten Sinema
and Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally are expected to
win their primaries, and face each other in a very competitive race
in which the liberal party hopes to pick up a conservative party seat.
The same day, Florida will also hold key primaries for governor,
U.S. senator, and several competitive U.S. house seats. Incumbent
Democratic Senator Bill Nelson is facing a very serious challenge
from retiring Republican Governor Rick Scott in one of the most-
watched 2018 senate races. The race to succeed Scott has turned
into a fascinating contest, especially in the GOP primary where the
endorsed candidate now trails his major challenger.
At issue in most of these primaries in August are the basic divisions
now existing in both major parties. On the Democratic side, the
emerging major shift to the left, led nationally by U.S Senator Bernie
Sanders and his allies are attempting to oust may traditional liberal
office holders and candidates. This was begun in earlier primaries
and now continues. On the Republican side, the impact of President
Trump is being felt in may primary races, as it has already been in
earlier primaries,
Only in September, two months from election day, will a full picture
of the mid-term season be visible. With control of Congress in the
final two years of the first term of President Donald Trump and the
make-up of the 2020 redistricting environment at stake, that picture
of possible waves, surges, stand-offs or surprises should be rather
curious to see.
