Falana condemns the removal of oil subsidy and new pump price of N145 per liter, says it's illegal | Full Statement
Braimah Sheriff May 13, 2016 Falana condemns the removal of oil subsidy and new pump price of N145 per liter, says it's illegal | Full Statement2016-05-13T06:00:41+01:00 News No Comment
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has condemned the recent removal of oil subsidy by the Federal government which has caused the pump price of petrol to jump to N145 per liter. According to Falana, Buhari has reneged on his campaign promise of not increasing pump price. Falana said this in a statement he release yesterday May 12th. Read the statement below:
During the campaign last year, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari pledged that if elected as President by the Nigerian people his administration would not remove fuel subsidy. Since he won the election last year President Buhari has consistently resisted pressures from the neo-liberal characters in the government to remove fuel subsidy and increase the price of petrol. On January 18, 2016 the federal government allayed the fear of Nigerians when the price of petrol was reduced to N86.50k per litre.
In justifying the decision to the people the federal government claimed that the reduction was due to an implementation of the revised component of the Petroleum Products Pricing Template for PMS and household kerosene.
It would be recalled that following the popular agitation against the removal of fuel subsidy in 2012, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources had announced the decision of the Goodluck Jonathan administration to set up 30 green field refineries in the country.
Shortly thereafter, the policy was jettisoned due to pressure from the cabal of local fuel importers. In 2013, the Jonathan administration secured a loan of $1.6 billion for the maintenance of the country's four refineries. At the end of the repairs the refineries could only refine about 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day instead of 445,000 barrels earmarked for domestic consumption.
The Buhari administration has also spent millions of dollars for the so called turn around maintenance of the refineries. Barely a month ago, Dr. Kachikwu had announced that fuel subsidy had been removed through his ingenuity. In celebrating the "success" recorded by him in the management of the petroleum industry he disclosed that Nigeria was saving $1 billion in subsidy removal and $1 billion in fuel importation. He also stated that "for the first time, our refineries are ready to work now. Crude has been pumped from Brass to Port Harcourt.
Pipeline is being used for the first time in 10 years for the first time in six years. For the first time we are able to pump to Ilorin, we have not done that in 10 years." (Nigerian Tribune, March 16, 2016). Curiously, Dr. Kachikwu's "giant strides" in the petroleum industry appear to have collapsed completely before our very eyes!
Hence, without any public debate or consultation with relevant stakeholders whatsoever the federal government took the Nigerian people by surprise yesterday when it decided to increase the pump price of petrol from N86.50k to N145 per litre. Not too long ago, the federal government had supported the imposition of higher tariffs paid on epileptic supply of electricity by consumers.
"In sentencing the Nigerian people to excruciating economic agony the Ministry of Power defied a court order which had restrained the government from giving effect to the proposed electricity tariff. In the same vein, the decision to increase the price of petrol is also illegal and contemptuous. In the case of Bamidele Aturu versus Attorney-General of the Federation (unreported suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/591/2009) the Federal High Court declared illegal and unconstitutional the policy decision of the federal government to deregulate the downstream sector of the petroleum industry contrary to the combined effect of the provisions of the Price Control Act and the Petroleum Act.
"In total defiance of the said order of the federal high court the federal government has deregulated the downstream sector of the petroleum industry. In justifying the illegal policy, Dr. Kachikwu claimed that "PPPRA has informed me that it will be announcing a new price band effective today, 11th May, 2016 and that the new price for PMS will not be above N145 per litre."
"Since the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) which is statutorily empowered to recommend the price of petroleum products has not been reconstituted the unilateral decision of the Executive Secretary of the body to fix the pump price at N145 per litre is ultra vires and illegal in every material particular. In view of the illegality, insensitivity and immorality of the price increase the federal government should cancel it, revert to the status quo and consult widely with all relevant stakeholders in the society.
" However, due to the ongoing fuel crisis in the country the Directorate of Petroleum Resources (DPR) recently invited fresh bids for the setting up modular refineries. At the end of the screening exercise sometime in March this year the DPR announced that it had awarded 22 licences for modular refineries with combined capacities to refine 1.429 million barrels of crude oil per day. If the policy is genuinely pursued the construction of the refineries ought to be completed within the 9-12 months.
"If such refineries are established in the country the importation of fuel and the fraud associated with it will stop. In the interim, instead of importing oil from Europe and the United States the NNPC should refine crude oil for domestic consumption in neighbouring countries which have functional refineries. After all, Nigeria refines 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day in Cote d'ivoire which is not an oil producing nation.
"If subsidy had been removed over a month ago and the country has been saving $2 billion (from fuel importation and subsidy removal) while the refineries are now working at full capacity Dr. Kachikwu should tell Nigerians the justification for the new removal of fuel subsidy announced by him yesterday. The cost elements that make up the N145 are provocative. If the total landing cost of a litre and other charges are fixed at N138 what is the basis of fixing the price at N145? For goodness sake, why should motorists be made to pay NPA/NIMASA charges, demurrage within and without /storage/ bridging charges etc?
"At this stage President Buhari ought to prevent neo-liberal ideologues from hijacking the administration for the purpose of punishing the Nigerian people for the looting of the treasury and mismanagement of the national economy. Contrary to the position of the parasitic ruling class that prices of goods and services be fixed by market forces the federal government has a legal obligation to protect the people from exploitation. For instance, the virtual collapse of electricity supply has forced many corporate bodies and individuals to invest heavily in generators and diesel throughout the country.
Although the price of diesel has crashed all over the world it has continued to increase in Nigeria due to manipulation. The federal government should, as a matter of urgency, abolish the monopoly in the importation and sale of diesel. There is no justification for the monopolistic control of goods and services under a free market economy!

I am elated The Departed got a gig! Barely scraped into the top 200 in our Top 100 from last year so this is a lovely surprise.
I was thinking about this, and I think the decision not to rank the ballots factored a LOT into The Departed making the cut. I'd say (maybe wrongly) that if the ballots were ranked then The Departed would mostly make the back end of ballots, and would not have made as many points as it was a movie used to fill a slot or somethin', and that's probably why it didn't really factor in the top 100 last year.
Just some random thoughts.
Likely correct. Me (and I assume FLY) are the only ones to have it in our top 40 from last year's Top 100. The other six votes it got were in the 41-100 range. But then again, there are plenty of other 2000's films which got more than 8 votes and didn't make this list. Whatever the case, The Departed has obviously gathered steam.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
This is pretty close to the correct placing (not positive with how ties were ordered) in last year's Top 100:
7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
30. Before Sunset
31. Wall-E
33. There Will Be Blood
35. No Country For Old Men
39. Pan's Labyrinth
46. Mulholland Dr.
50. In the Mood For Love
53. Punch Drunk Love
59. City of God
63. Children of Men
66. Spirited Away
71. Almost Famous
105. Shaun of the Dead
137. Amelie
164. Memento
172. The Departed
205. The Lives of Others
221. Once
(Inglourious Basterds not placed)
Top 3 absentees:
36. Yi Yi
61. High Fidelity

Oo-da-lolly, Oo-da-lolly, golly what a day!

I'm not sure; I just think I could come up with some movies I love more. Like Emiliana said earlier, I think I rushed a bit to get my ballot in and didn't spend enough time over it.
I don't feel like I rushed mine and I composed mine in like an hour for my entire ballot, every category I mean. I just used my Top100, and the Movies Watched in 2009/2010 lists to see what I have seen from this decade that I remember liking a whole lot. Then again, unlike most people here, looking at those three lists is basically everything I have seen with the exception of a few.
"Time is the speed at which the past decays."
That's an impressive level of consistency. IB obviously came out last fall and so wouldn't be included (and I imagine it will place fairly strongly this time around). So maybe the lack of ranking and the negative votes and all that wasn't very important? I did always maintain that negative votes is a way to push an unranked list closer to the results of a ranked list without having to deal with rankings (which are administratively a bit more difficult).
DOOM!!!!
Quote from: Darcy, the one and only on May 17, 2010, 03:46:19 AM
i'd almost go as far to say that if you don't like The Departed (i.e thinks its a 6.5+/10, or generally agree it should of won out of the five noms in 06) then you probably don't/won't like Martin Scorsese, or you won't like any you might have overlooked, this is quintessential Scorsese with for me, his best cast all at their best (it took me 2/3 views to appreciate Nicholson's narrow but really great. iconoclastic performance) in this film di Caprio beats Damon, though it should be noted that in their respectively forgettable Iraq-war films, Damon was better.
Can't agree with this at all. I love me some Goodfellas and earlier Marty, it's just his post Goodfellas efforts that I feel have been severely lacking with The Departed being the one film he's made that I've seen and thought was complete dreck from start to finish. And those performances, ugh, overwrought and hammy across the board.
Quote from: DOOM!!! on May 17, 2010, 06:04:15 PM
I'm glad to hear this, if only because it was my contention that you thought all of Marty's output was overrated.
Quote from: 'Noke on May 17, 2010, 06:11:03 PM
Nah, I've never loved his work like others have, so really shouldn't have said I love his pre-Goodfellas work. I like his pre-Goodfellas output though, and I really love Goodfellas.
FarfetchFilm
never resist the unfamiliar.
its a bit like Brothers, the Bier/Sheridan film, if all you want to do is compare it to its original then you're never gonna really see the film properly, as with The Departed and say The Birdcage, you just gonna get less slack if you prefer the foreign original.
The Departed, Scorsese's best film for acting, though i'd say Bringing Out the Dead is his best casted film, yes i do love the oscars gave scorsese his oscar in 2006, dosen't make the film worst does it? That other people like, goshie...
Judged on its own The Departed is a bad film, judged against Infernal Affairs it is a terrible film. And you keep going on about its cast, but its cast was terrible and probably the worst aspect of the entire film.
well its in the filmspotting forums top 20, a real slit against these great forums don't ya think, i think you're a little lost, with the record breaking Damon/Di Caprio poll, lets have a topical debate Tony Leung & Andy Lau next, who's less tongue-in-check, if The Departed is terrible than Infernal Affairs is just bad, not terrible, its actually a very well executed trilogy of baffling crime stories.
maybe you should head over the my old website leftfieldcinema.com, my mate Mike tells it like it is, The Departed is slightly superior than Infernal Affairs, and its in podcast form just for you.


If homeowners and business owners can refinance their loans to take advantage of low interest rates, why not debt-saddled college graduates and their parents?
That's a question Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said he gets a lot as he tours the state and hears complaints about college affordability, or inaffordability. His comment came at a brief news conference at the University of Vermont Wednesday morning to tout legislation he is co-sponsoring that would permit the refinancing of student loans.
The cost to the federal government over a decade would be about $51 billion, Welch said, but an accompanying tax-code change, called "the Buffet rule," would more than compensate for that revenue loss, bringing in $72 billion. A similar bill is being sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
Welch acknowledged that passage in the House of "H.R. 4582: Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act," would be an "uphill" struggle, but emphasized the effort is worth it because of the dramatic savings it could bring. A college graduate with a total debt of $30,000 could save $4,000 in interest payments by refinancing, he said, and parents with $50,000 in educational debt, $3,500.
"That's real money," Welch said.
Student loans could be refinanced at 3.86 percent, which compares to the current federal student loan rate of 4.66 percent, and the 2006 rate of 6.8 percent.
The term "Buffett rule" derives from a comment by billionaire investor Warren Buffett that he should not be paying taxes at a lower rate than his secretary. The rule has been advocated by the White House but has encountered opposition in both the House and Senate and remains unimplemented.
Appearing with Welch in support of the legislation were UVM Provost David Rosowsky; Marie Johnson, UVM's director of student financial services; Scott Giles, president and CEO of the Vermont Student Assistance Corp.; Bethany Scalzo, a Montpelier resident who had run up $60,000 in debt by the time she earned her master's degree; and Aya Al-Namee, president of the UVM Student Government Association.
Scalzo said she's facing student-debt payments of $700 a month for the next 10 years, limiting her lifestyle choices and preventing her from pursuing a Ph.D.
Total student debt in Vermont is $2.5 billion, Welch said. That's a slice of the national total debt of $1.2 trillion.
Welch called the bill "urgent legislation" that would be one his top priorities when he returns to Washington.

Examples Of Socialism
Socialism And Women
Most rank-and-file anarchists had been strongly against terrorism, and most noticed schooling and trade unions as the principle automobiles for conducting their revolutionary exercise. The publication of the Communist Manifesto coincided with the revolutionary tide that swept through Europe between 1848 and 1849. Marx and Engels have been nonetheless correcting the proofs of their soon-to-be famous pamphlet when the primary barricades of 1848 were being erected in Paris. But whereas it is true that the Manifesto was revealed during a period of political tumult, it did not have a profound influence on the revolutionaries of the interval. Nevertheless, it was an important document in the history of socialism, above all because it introduced in define form the theoretical foundation for modern socialism.
Egalitarians urged the individuals to grab energy, eliminate social hierarchy, and institute a commonwealth.
In this early stage of socialist growth, the abolition of private property was not but part of the political agenda and the goal was to finish the misery of the poor.
They also advocated the use of terrorism to dispossess the rich and redistribute non-public property equally among all members of society.
Rousseau impressed the first French socialists, the egalitarians, who reacted violently to the truth that the French Revolution didn't result in social equality or abolish material wealth in the early nineteenth century.
Under immense strain from Moscow, social democratic parties were pressured to disband and amalgamate with the communist parties loyal to the Soviet Union. 1914), was equally convinced that theoretical considerations must be subordinated to the tactical wants of the motion. He therefore thought it attainable to retain his dedication to revolutionary Marxism whereas on the similar time selling a democratic path to socialism. Leading the opposition to Bernstein's revisionism had been Karl Kautsky, the foremost interpreter of the writings of Marx and Engels right now, and Georgy Plekhanov, the principal architect of the Russian Social Democratic movement. Both tried to defend what they thought to be the core rules of Marxism by contending that Bernstein had failed to know Marx's basic notions concerning the relationship between economics and politics and that the antirevolutionary insurance policies implied by his revisionism rendered socialism utterly unnecessary. In the previous case, for instance, Kautsky explained that socialism would come about, not as a result of the increasing pauperization of the working courses, however on account of sharpening class divisions, which have been inevitable and subsequently unavoidable features of historic development.
This was designed to end the stagnation into which Arab socialism had taken Egypt. Elsewhere within the Arab World, different regimes and rulers grew to become dedicated to sturdy government enlargement into the public sector. After Algeria gained independence in July 1962, consideration was directed towards the nationalization of banks and of farms previously owned and managed by the French settlers.
By insisting that Socialism could be achieved in a peaceable method, the Fabians set themselves in opposition to the Marxian events of the Second International who conceptualized social change by way of a dialectical struggle. as social deviants who had been bent on destroying the foundations of civilization. This overblown stereotype was bolstered by a number of broadly publicized anarchist outrages that punctuated the final years of the nineteenth century.
By the 1980s, Soviet communism was too conservative and inflexible to outlive. The liberal reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev within the late Nineteen Eighties have been inadequate to save it, but sufficient to generate its demise.
To the minds of some, however, these evils of industrialization weren't inevitable outcomes. Such was the case with the so-called Utopian socialists who emerged in England and on the Continent round this time. The collapse of the Soviet Union was accelerated by the strategic confrontation and arms race opened by Ronald Reagan within the early 1980s, which the Soviet Union discovered itself unable to afford. But it could not compete as a result of its financial and political buildings have been frozen within the socialist forms of the 1930s, implicitly created by nineteenth–century doctrines. The rigidity of the Soviet planning system made it unable to adapt to new applied sciences and processes. Its political dictatorship made it unable to alter and provide the mechanisms for financial transformation.
Despite these shortcomings, socialist events continued to occupy an important place within the political enviornment. This was especially true in international locations like Sweden, where the social democrats dominated politics for the higher part of the 20 th century, and in Great Britain, the place the Fabian type of pragmatic reformism of the Labour Party has received out over other types of socialism. 1953) had secured over the postwar regimes that emerged in this area between 1946 and 1949 effectively smothered the development of any impartial socialist motion for the next few decades.
Unlike the Marxists, who noticed historic progress in terms of class battle, the Fabians conceived of society as an organism that developed gradually over time. Socialism was, in their eyes, a natural outcome of social improvement, but one that wanted to be guided by enlightened thinkers like themselves. Drawing upon their religion in positivist rules, the Fabians had been satisfied that a "scientific" strategy to the examine of social phenomena would produce an effective strategy for developing incrementally a socialist society.
Apart from launching small-scale assaults towards symbols of class, state, and spiritual rule, anarchists had been answerable for the political assassinations of several heads of state. Within a span of only six years, the presidents of France and the United States , the empress of Austria , the prime minister of Spain , and the king of Italy had been murdered by anarchists. The stigma that every one anarchists had been now saddled with obscured the fact that these were isolated acts committed by solely a handful of people.
It deserves point out here that, along with the horrors wrought by an unregulated manufacturing facility system, workers had been also subjected to the changes brought on by the machine age. The introduction of new technologies in the workplace invariably meant the displacement of laborers.

Ganga, our national river has now become our national guilt.
Ganga Rejuvenation has become a lost cause because successive governments have failed in fulfilling the vision of Ganga rejuvenation as none of the government take the strong and hard stand much needed for the Ganga to rejuvenate in its original state, as a result, the condition of the entire 2525 km stretch is becoming from bad to worse. All the toll promises of the current government have been reduced to beautification, "swachta" of the banks, rather than achieving the goal of Aviral - Nirmal Ganga as was promised.
We have already suffered the unfortunate demise of Prof. G. D. Aggarwal/ Swami Gyan Swaroop Sanand who sat on a fast unto death for 111 days and was asking the govt. to implement such a bill in order to ensure the current and the future protection, conservation and preservation of the Ganga (The Ganga Killings: https://youtu.be/sdcTRJrqsIc). The government made no effort towards bringing forth this bill. Now, Br. Atmabodhanand Ji is carrying on the fast of Swami Sanand, emphasizing the same need for an act/ bill for permanent conservation and preservation of the Ganga. Aatmabodhanand Ji has been fasting since 24th October 2018 and even after 114 days of fasting, there has been zero communication from the government with fasting seer.
People`s Ganga act has been drafted based on the draft of the bill suggested by Swami Sanand, in consultation with various scientists, on ground activists and people from the local communities who understood the various issues all along the 2525 Km stretch of Ganga river basin. Keeping the interest of the Ganga at its very core, the act has taken into account the requirements and rights of the inhabitants of the areas where the Ganga flows.
promise on Ganga Rejuvenation as the Act looks holistically at the issue and the solutions for ensuring current and future conservation and rejuvenation.
the watershed of the Ganga basin in the Himalayas is fully conserved and protected for all the tributaries of the Ganga river basin.
� People`s Ganga act paves way for the formulation of Independent Monitoring Body (National Ganga Commission) to plan a systematic series of next steps to achieve the goal of Ganga Rejuvenation and also monitor the actions taken as per the plans.
� The Drafted Bill also clearly highlights the major offenses such as diverting the flow of the river, disposing of any kind of sewage, Industrial as well as domestic waste into the river as a criminal offense.
After suffering successive failures by consecutive governments, it is pertinent and conclusive that the people take the torch of Ganga Rejuvenation into their own hands, therefore, support the people`s Ganga Act thereby ensuring the Ganga Rejuvenation, preservation, and conservation we envision for our national river - the Ganga. It is pertinent that the Ganga Aviral-Nirmal Dhara is not just achieved but is also maintained for current and all future generations.
Another Good man`s life is now at stake but the cries of the Ganga and the demands of the several Indians seem to be falling on deaf ears. We are on the verge of losing out on our national river due to sheer rapaciousness and totally unscientific, an illogical model of development. Let us reclaim our national river.

DeVotchKa - A Mad and Faithful Telling CD
This four-piece multi-instrumental outfit fuses gypsy, Greek, Slavic, and mariachi with American punk and folk roots. Directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris chose DeVotchKa to score "Little Miss Sunshine," the breakout indie film of 2006, garnering four Academy Award nominations and earning DeVotchKa a Grammy nod for Best Soundtrack. Their stage set up is fortified by sousaphone, accordion, piano, violin, a bouzouki, upright bass, percussion, trumpet, drums, and a Theramin. The band has toured with similar maverick acts such as Calexico and Flogging Molly and will also appeal to fans of Arcade Fire, Neko Case, and David Byrne.

Academic News & Views: An OPCAT Focus on Immigration Detention
As part of the Australian Journal of Human Rights fascinating new Special Issue on the OPCAT, the matter of ensuring adequate coverage of immigration detention has come into sharp focus. In a brand-new article by Madeline Gleeson of the University of New South Wales titled 'Monitoring places of immigration detention in Australia under OPCAT', the author focuses on the challenges of making certain that immigration detention is effectively monitored in practice.
The parallels with Canada are illuminating. As has been highlighted in recent Canada OPCAT Project posts, even though Canada's formal immigration detention estate is small, the Government frequently resorts to the use of provincial prisons for immigration detention purposes. Furthermore, unlike in Australia, there is currently no statutory inspection body for immigration detention in Canada, bar a temporary monitoring agreement with the Canadian Red Cross.
Australian Journal of Human Rights – image copyright of the AHRC Centre at UNSW Sydney.
In her thought-provoking article Madeline Gleeson makes the essential point:
"…. while the government immediately claimed it as a 'significant victory for human rights' (Bishop and Brandis 2017b), the extent to which ratification of OPCAT will in fact mitigate the risks of torture and ill-treatment in places of detention will depend on how it is implemented. In the context of immigration detention in particular, there are significant challenges and controversies to be overcome if OPCAT is indeed to play the preventive role for which it is intended."
For Australia these aforementioned challenges and controversies are several. In her article Madeline Gleeson embarks on a broad sweep of what might constitute immigration detention in Australia, including more typical facilities located within the country, but also focusing on less typical accommodation type settings, international transit zones in airports, escorts and transfers, so-called off-shore processing centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea, and cloaked-in-secrecy detention at sea.
Maitland Gaol by OZinOH (2007).
For Canadian readers the author's detailed discussion points to the wide range of potential immigration detention settings in any given country, itself an extremely informative exercise. All of these settings, she correctly argues, potentially fall within the scope of the OPCAT.
Madeline Gleeson's focus on the general features of an NPM also serves as a useful reminder of the wide potential array of functions of an effective NPM. In doing so, she examines two existing oversight bodies responsible for immigration detention in Australia, namely the Australian Human Rights Commission and the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
As Australia's future NPM is likely to comprise a multi-agency body whose work is coordinated by the Commonwealth Ombudsman, the author makes various key recommendations aimed at ensuring its legal and functional independence as well as its efficacy as an institution. This advice merits a detailed reading, especially if, as predicted by this writer, Canada also opts for a multi-body NPM as its future mechanism under the OPCAT.
As in Canada, Madeline Gleeson also notes that the Australian Red Cross has a long history of visits to immigration detention facilities across Australia through its Immigration Detention Monitoring Program. The writer notes: "The Red Cross's engagement with the Australian government is confidential, focusing on identifying issues of humanitarian concern and providing advice on how to minimise harm for people in detention." However, unlike in Australia, Canada currently has no other permanent oversight entity for its main immigration detention settings such as an ombudsperson-type body.
The final section of the author's paper highlights several outstanding challenges relating to the monitoring of immigration detention in Australia. While these factors are to a certain extent Australia-specific in scope, several of Madeline Gleeson's observations apply beyond its national borders to other current and future OPCAT States Parties such as Canada. These include that:
unfettered access to NPM monitors should be ensured in practice in terms of places, people and information;
the monitors should be able to address the root causes of potential abuses which may lie in official state policy (such as punitive immigration approaches);
and states should be open to independent scrutiny and criticism of their immigration policies, no matter how unpalatable the truth.
All of these lessons could have resonance in the Canadian context as a state which may one day get around to ratifying the OPCAT.
In a word, Madeline Gleeson has made both a very interesting and highly practical contribution to the Special Issue on the OPCAT, with several important lessons for the Canadian setting. With further articles to come in this excellent series of papers, please stayed tuned to the Canada OPCAT Project dial.

In what's shaping up to be an exciting and unpredictable first round, Bulls Lead Writer Ethan Levy takes a look at how it all could shake out, and what it might mean for the Bulls.
The Suns are in no position to get cute with their pick, and happily snag the most gifted player in the draft with the first overall selection. There are legitimate questions about Ayton's defense, but he's a generational athlete with the most upside in the draft. Although new head coach Igor Kokoškov has a long-documented history with Dončić from the Slovenian national team, Ayton's tools are too tantalizing to pass up.
Rumor has it that Kings GM Vlade Divac isn't smitten with Dončić, so he instead opts for the relentless and explosive Bagley. Despite some questions about whether he'll play power forward or center, he's an immensely talented scorer and athletic marvel. Bagley will provide the Kings with a low post presence they haven't had since DeMarcus Cousins.
Word around the league is the Hawks aren't in love with Dončić either, and are focusing more on college big men. They nab the best one available in Jackson, whose defensive prowess will compliment John Collins' budding offensive arsenal nicely to form a frontcourt for the future.
Dončić's fall ends here, as the Grizzlies are thrilled to land arguably the best player in the draft. With his size, shooting, and creative ability, Dončić is a generational talent in his own right, and has drawn comparisons to James Harden for his pace, anticipation, and footwork. The accomplished 19-year old has superstar upside, and will launch a new era for the Grit & Grinders.
The back concerns are legitimate, the inefficient scoring could be for real, and the ego was on full display at the Combine. But Mavs owner and Shark Tank mainstay Mark Cuban is plenty familiar with risk management and cost-benefit analysis, and a potential future league MVP is well worth the top-five investment. He'll provide the Mavs with a dynamic wing to run alongside explosive point guard Dennis Smith for years to come.
After trading former lottery pick Elfrid Payton at the deadline this season, the Magic still have a gaping hole to fill at the point guard position. Young certainly comes with risks, as his size, defense, and turnover tendencies are alarming for a lead guard. But the Magic are in desperate need of a jolt of energy to revitalize their long-dormant franchise, and bite on Young's upside and flair.
If the board falls this way, Bulls fans and management alike will be thrilled. Bamba is a physical specimen whose 7'10" wingspan is difficult to comprehend. With a budding offensive skillset and elite rim-protecting abilities already, Bamba will serve as the club's center for the future, and will perfectly compliment Markkanen's scoring talents. Bamba works out for the team at the Advocate Center on Friday.
Toeing the line between contending and rebuilding is a nearly impossible task, but the Cavs have no idea if LeBron is staying or leaving. Bridges has enough upside to develop into a cornerstone player, but can contribute right away as a 3-and-D wing if LeBron re-ups in The Land.
New head coach David Fizdale is desperately seeking a tone-setting lead guard to change the culture for the young Knicks. He finds his man in the pugnacious and gifted Sexton, who will be a franchise player alongside Kristaps Porzingis for years to come.
The Sixers are thrilled to land Bridges at ten, who offers a versatile and explosive off-ball offensive game that will compliment Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid beautifully. He needs work on his defense, but has all the tools to develop into an All-Star caliber player.
The Hornets roster is a mess, and they need all the young talent they can find as they try to repair their lackluster, overpriced roster. Carter Jr. is the best player available, and will be a solid starter for years to come.
While the Clippers will get veteran point guard Patrick Beverley back from injury next season and still have 31-year old Milos Teodosic on the roster, they still need a point guard for the future. They find one of the very best in the draft in Gilgeous-Alexander, whose 6'6″ frame and 7'0″ wingspan is ideal at the point guard position in the modern NBA. He needs to work on his shot, but Gilgeous-Alexander could very easily wind up as the best point guard of this class.
With the second of their back-to-back lottery picks, the Clippers nab Walker to form a backcourt duo for the future alongside Gilgeous-Alexander. Walker has been steadily climbing draft boards recently, and has a smooth polish to his game that's rare for a 19-year old. He's a terrific, physical athlete, and will contribute right away in Tinseltown.
While the Nuggets boasted a free-flowing, guns blazing offense this year, they also finished worst in the league in opponent field goal percentage. They're thrilled to snag the versatile Knox, whose shooting ability will fit right in with the Nuggets' attacking style. But he's also a long and capable defender with plenty of room to grow, as he's one of the youngest prospects in the class at only 18 years old. He'll be a boost on both ends.
With Marcin Gortat nearing the end of his career, the Wizards could use a modern, rim-running big who can protect the rim and make life easy on John Wall in the pick and roll. Williams fits the bill.
With the glut of point guards on their roster, the Suns instead opt for a steady, versatile small forward to relieve some of the scoring and defensive pressure off Devin Booker. Despite forwards T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson already on the roster, teams can never have too many wings these days. Bates-Diop will fit right into the Suns' young core.
Known to value length and athleticism in the draft, the Bucks can't resist Smith's spectacular leaping ability (41.5-inch vertial at the combine) and 6'10" wingspan. He needs plenty of time to develop, but has the potential to turn into an effective two-way wing alongside Khris Middleton and the Greek Freak. Smith will provide new head coach Mike Budenholzer with plenty of flexibility as he reshapes the Bucks roster.
Brown and the Spurs are tailor-made for one another, as whatever the 19-year old guard lacks in athleticism he more than makes up for with his awareness, versatility, and savvy. He'll fit right in with Coach Pop's culture.
With incumbent point guard Dennis Schröder appearing to be on the outs, the Hawks could use an attacking, dynamic lead guard to take the reigns. They find their guy in Aaron Holiday, a solid defender who can play either on or off the ball as a dynamic scorer and distributor.
After a disappointing season, Coach Tom Thibodeau knows he needs help right away and can't afford to wait around for rookies to develop. He gets immediate two-way contribution in Thomas, who will step in from day one as a defensive stopper and floor spacer to provide the Wolves with a much-needed spark of energy.
The Jazz are closer to contention than even they anticipated, so look for them to nab some immediate playoff contribution in the form of a multi-positional wing. There are few better in this draft than Jacob Evans, who can space the floor effectively and is a bulldog defender. He and Jae Crowder will become a nightmare defensive pairing for opposing offenses.
The Bulls make good on their rumored promise to Hutchison, and scoop him up with their second selection of the night. He's an athletic, smart player with intriguing playmaking upside, and fills a desperate need for the squad at the small forward position. His length and frame make him a strong defender, and he still has plenty of room to grow as an offensive threat. Bamba and Hutchison would make for an awfully nice haul in Chicago come draft night.
While the Pacers were thrilled with the production they received from Bojan Bogdanović this postseason, he'll become an unrestricted free agent after next year. Indiana will be eager to add a scoring punch to their offense that relives some of the pressure off of Victor Oladipo, and Musa provides exactly that. He's a fearless, gunslinging scorer who plays with a swagger that will compliment the upstart Pacers nicely.
The Blazers need a superstar to truly contend, but could do much worse than to add a versatile defensive presence to support Rip City's offensive-minded backcourt of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. Frazier is an improved three-point shooter, and his athleticism and 7'1″ wingspan make him a pest for whoever he's guarding.
After impressive workouts, Robinson seems to have raised his stock in recent weeks. The Lakers make good on their rumored promise to Robinson, and land the high-risk, high-reward center late in the first. If he develops with the right coaching and teammates, he could be an All-Star.
With sharpshooters J.J. Redick and Marco Belinelli both set to become unrestricted free agents, the Sixers would love to find a three point specialist on a long term, team-friendly deal. They get their man in Huerter, a late-riser up draft boards who will expertly space the floor for Ben Simmons and Embiid.
With Marcus Smart after what seems to be a massive $10-$15 million per year payday in restricted free agency, the Celtics opt for a younger, cheaper replacement. Like Smart, Melton is a terrific and intense on-ball defender.
The rich get richer as the Dubs land the intriguing Okogie, a multi-positional defender and prolific scorer for the Yellow Jackets. He turned heads at the Combine, where he registered a 42-inch vertical jump and the fastest three-quarter court sprint of any player tested.
DiVincenzo may have made a name for himself with a 31-point explosion in the National Championship, but he wants you to see more than just one game. The Big Ragu is a hyper-athletic, spirited competitor who soared up draft boards with impressive measurements and interviews at the Combine. At this stage in the draft, he'd be a great get for the Nets.
The Hawks are in need of just about everything, but could do much worse than selecting the sophomore swingman out of Arizona. The Brooklyn native is a physical, hard-nosed defender and plus athlete, who will provide the rebuilding Hawks with an edge from day one. His intriguing playmaking potential could make him an above average starter down the line–look for Atkins to be a potential late riser this year.

In my office overlooking Cody Yellowstone, I am in the position of offering all sorts of tips for vacation planners.
There are countless ways to visit our region and so many things on which to focus that I like to treat each request for information differently. Some folks are looking for help on everything from accommodations and meals to attractions and activities while others just want to know where to find pull-through sites for their Class A Winnebago.

As the year comes to a close, working Americans around the country are realizing that they still have vacation days to use before the turn of the calendar. Since the month of December can often coincide with office budget planning and project wrap-ups, more than half of all American workers will wind up not taking the vacations to which they are entitled.
The U.S. Travel Association (USTA) has concluded that Americans leave more than 662 million vacation days on the table, and the organization also found that this pattern is good for neither the employer nor the employee in the long run. Employees who take vacations are generally happier and healthier than their workaholic counterparts.
The travel industry organization also found that workers who take the time to plan their vacations early in the year are more likely to use all of their days vs. those who leave vacations to whim.
In my experience, both conclusions are spot on. I meet happy vacationers just about every day in Cody Yellowstone, even in the winter, when the region welcomes adventurous visitors taking advantage of our cold-season outdoor recreation.

On a recent brutally hot July day I ditched my hot pink summer boots for a pair of toe-pleasing Tevas and headed for the "Alpine-to Plains Trail." There I saw, heard and even smelled some of the critters and plants in their alpine, forest, meadow and plains environment. All in the air-conditioned comfort of the Draper Natural History Museum.
This is one of my favorite exhibits in one of my favorite Buffalo Bill Center of the West museums. As I descended down a sloped rotunda, I saw wolves, bison, elk, badgers and even a rare wolverine. Or at least lifelike facsimiles of these precious park critters in realistic settings that reflect their habitat and behavior.
The Alpine-to-Plains Trail in the Draper Natural History Museum showcases the animals and plant life in the various landscapes of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
And when I finally completed my descent, I lingered at the dramatic, 30-foot tile mosaic floor of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and pondered the diversity and beauty of one of the most diverse landscapes on the planet. And it is in my own backyard.

…not that Dos Equis guy. And I can prove it. Gone from this Earth for 101 years now, Colonel William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody is more interesting by far than the guy in the commercials. Although I must admit that Augustin Legrand, the actor who plays "the most interesting man in the world" in the beer ads has a pretty striking beard, almost as striking as Buffalo Bill's.
What a joke. Did TDEG and his beard hunt and shoot 68 buffalo in eight hours like Cody did to win a competition for the Buffalo Bill nickname? That's about one every seven minutes, Mr. TDEG. The crew of the railroad where Buffalo Bill was working was well-fed for many days after that event. Did you ever feed a crew of hungry railroad workers, Mr. TDEG.? I didn't think so.

In just a couple of months, the streets of Cody's Sheridan Avenue will be teeming with visitors from around the world, and I can hardly wait. It is always thrilling when I hear so many different languages spoken on our streets. It's also great fun to chat with visitors from the East when it is their first trip to the Western part of the country.
Who is the most famous person to visit Cody?
Buffalo Bill Cody was the most famous man in the world when his Wild West Show was in full swing, so even though he's the town founder he's also the most famous person to walk the streets. There have been plenty of others. Ernest Hemingway stayed at the Chamberlin Inn down the street from the Irma Hotel, and Buffalo Bill hosted the Prince of Monaco at Pahaska Tepee.

We all have that friend. The one you avoid including in group dinners because he tracks how many fried green tomatoes each diner eats and then insists on splitting the price of the appetizer platter for the table by consumption. He never picks up a round of sloe gin fizzes. And his regifting skills are legendary.
I have one of those friends. He's my big brother, and he's coming to visit this summer. My brother asked me to plan several days of fun in Yellowstone Country that are budget-friendly, keeping in mind that the budget-friendliest of all activities are those that don't involve opening a wallet. Those were his words. I'm not kidding.
I've got this, I told him. In Cody Yellowstone Country, it's easy to plan several days of fun by enjoying the many free and moderately priced adventures in the region.
One morning, we'll take a drive (in my car burning my gas, of course) along the Buffalo Bill Scenic Highway and look for "Snoopy the Dog" and "Laughing Pig Rock." The road that travels to the east entrance of Yellowstone features a bunch of weird rock formations that have been imaginatively named by locals.

Contrary to rumors floating around town, I do manage to get away from Cody, Yellowstone, Powell, Meeteetse and the surrounding area. There is more to life than listening to cowboy music, fishing for trout, hiking and riding some of the finest trails anywhere, breaking in new boots and chatting up tourists from pretty much everywhere.
When I received an invitation from an old friend to attend her wedding in Palm Springs I responded that I would be there in less time than it takes a Nite Rodeo cowboy to rope and tie a calf. Not only do I love the desert and always enjoy living it up with old friends, but I felt some inexplicable pull toward the area. I could not put my finger on it, but I just wanted to be there.
I booked my flight and a hotel room close to the main drag, called Palm Canyon Drive. The street reminded me of Cody's own Sheridan Avenue, with its abundant restaurants, shops, galleries and a very high level of walkability.
The main street in Palm Springs, with its fun shops and restaurants, reminds Corrie of Cody's ownSheridan Ave.

When I lived in the big city, the Christmas holidays were definitely different from what I was used to. The major department stores created wonderful displays, and friends and employers held parties most every Friday and Saturday (and several weeknights) from the beginning of December until the big day.
Since I moved back to my hometown, I have found the pace to be slower and more to my liking. The holiday events in Cody/Yellowstone Country are happening soon, and I am happy to report that I will be able to enjoy all of them at an easy pace that will allow for plenty of visiting, shopping and reflecting on the season.
Powell Country Christmas will be held throughout the first weekend in December from Friday, Dec. 2 through Sunday, Dec. 4. Country Christmas is a holiday gift expo and craft showcase located in downtown Powell at the Commons at Pond Park. There will be gift booths, crafts, food booths and entertainment throughout the day as well as a lighted Christmas Parade downtown. The event concludes Sunday with the Tour of Homes Event. More information is available at www.powellchamber.org.

As winter gives way to spring, I start to hear from old friends who are thinking about their summer vacations. Invariably, they ask for my counsel on planning a summer vacation to my slice of paradise. Specifically, they usually want my help visiting Yellowstone National Park and our area.
I am always happy to share my knowledge as well as my recommendations about what to do, where to stay and which cowboy musician is telephone number-worthy.
While each vacation will be different, there are several things I always recommend.
First of all, the best way to appreciate a Yellowstone vacation is to start it in Cody, Wyo., the wildest way in to the world's first national park.

So what do you get a guy heading into his 18th decade?
Around here that is a legitimate question since Feb. 26 marks Buffalo Bill Cody's 170th birthday. Because we have thrown parties for reasons significantly less important, this event will be commemorated by a lot more than cake in the company break room.
Here in Cody we will start things off on his birthday – Friday, Feb. 26 – with the Cody High School FFA's annual wreath-laying ceremony at the sculpture Buffalo Bill – The Scout at 11 a.m. Artist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney created this sculpture, and it was instrumental in the development of the Whitney Gallery of Western Art and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
Local tradition of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) laying a wreath at the "Scout" statue.
From 5-7 p.m. that day the Center of the West will host the "Buffalo Bill Birthday Bash" featuring the Buffalo Bill Band, birthday cake, light hors d'oeuvres, family activities and a cash bar.

The Punisher – Season 1 Episodes 10 – 13 Review
November 29, 2017 May 28, 2018 David Hogan
The Punisher's first season comes to suitably brutal end as Frank Castle gets his gory revenge on those who wronged him. Also, other things happen! Let's take a look at the last four episodes of the season, and see if the ending lives up to the strong rest of the season.
Frank Castle and David Lieberman, two people great effected by the off-the-books operation / cover-up known as "Kandahar", orchestrated by William Rawlins, are on the hunt for justice… or what each person considers justice. All the while several other players caught in the same game make their moves…
He's fine, don't worry about it!
Frank Castle / The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) – The world now knows Frank Castle is back from the dead, but they also now believe he's a terrorist. All this is irrelevant to The Punisher, all he wants is to kill those responsible for his family's death, at any cost…
David Lieberman / Micro (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) – David's plan is starting to unravel as the world finds out about Frank's return, but "Micro" still hasn't given up on seeing his family again…
Billy Russo (Ben Barnes) – Billy Russo always made sure he trusted the right people to take him to the top of the food chain, but it seems now that trusting William Rawlins might prove to be his undoing… or betraying Frank Castle… or both!
Dinah Madani (Amber Rose Revah) – Dinah has lost another partner to the Kandahar case, and was nearly ready to throw in the towel until David Lieberman arrived and sat next to her at a bar. Now she's on the cusp of finally putting the case to bed…
William Rawlins (Paul Schulze) – CIA head of Covert Ops, Rawlins is on his way up the chain of command… so long as his past doesn't come back to bite him on the arse…
Curtis Hoyle (Jason R. Moore) – Curtis was humiliated and beaten by young Lewis, shaking what little confidence he managed to regain since coming home from the war. All that being said, he's still not willing to turn down a friend in need…
Lewis Wilson (Daniel Webber) – Lewis has snapped, he now believes bombing and killing all those in power or in the media will make the country great, and his next target is…
Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) – Reporter for the New York Bulletin, her unwillingness to support Lewis and his bombings has made her a target…
He … could be doing better… and it's only going to get worse…
While I wasn't a big fan of the unusual format of Episode 10, I did like how, in the end, Lewis just died blowing himself up for no reason. Some would think he'd "do the right thing" in the end, or have a last minute change of heart and go to prison, but nope! We saw the origin, actions and end of a terrorist bomber play out across the series. Unpleasant, sad, and awkwardly realistic. Good storytelling.
Episode 11 features a long scene of Frank truly becoming The Punisher as he acts like a one man army against a bunch of Russo's men. It's well shot, brutally entertaining, but it's still no Daredevil Season 1 corridor scene… Meanwhile David's wife and son have been kidnapped by Russo's men, and an exchange is set up, Frank and David for them, otherwise Russo believes incriminating video of him will be uploaded instead.
Episode 12 sees David fake his own death (again! Although this time on purpose) before finally being reunited with his family, who rightfully greet him with a mix of love and anger. Dinah has Frank's confession and David's testimony, but still isn't happy as she knows Frank is the one who pulled the trigger on her friend back in Afghanistan. What about Frank? Well, he was successfully captured by Billy Russo and his men, and spends a good chunk of the episode being very brutally (there's that word again) tortured by William Rawlins, dropping in and out of hallucinations about being back with his wife. He eventually manipulates Russo into giving him a crack as Rawlins, and boy… he goes for it. The multiple stabbing was hard to watch, but Frank literally forces his thumbs into Rawlins' eyes until you hear a squelching sound… it was… hard to watch, that's for sure. Still, Frank got his revenge but is near death, and David, Dinah and a bunch of cops arrive to chase off Russo.
This of course all lead to the inevitable showdown between Frank and Billy, which first happens at Curtis' apartment (with the poor guy getting shot in the shoulder, he just can't catch a break, can he?) then they soon set up a meeting at midnight on the very carousel where Frank's family died. The final fight is great, it's a close call, with Russo using innocent lives and the setting to gain an advantage, and with Dinah arriving in time to distract Billy (and get shot in the head for her trouble), all leading to what all of us who've read the comics knew was going to happen: Billy Russo gets Jigsaw'd. His face is scraped and kicked into glass over and over, leading to the classically scared face appearance of the character, presumably in the next season. To my surprise, given the rather grim reality of the series, Dinah survives the shot to the head, David goes back to living with his family, and Frank begins attending Curtis' help group for old soldiers. It's a nice, neat ending, though plenty of ways it could go wrong for a season 2…
She's fine! … Him on the other hand… give him a few minutes.
Sometimes I like a bit of a change to traditional formatting, but the format of Episode 10, which flashes backwards and forwards in time from the post-incident interviews to the incident itself, was more annoying that interesting. I can see where they were going with it, but it just didn't work for me. It didn't hurt the overall story the episode was trying to tell at least, but it wasn't great in my eyes.
He's… not going to do well either.
So, I've talked at length now about how good The Punisher's beginning and middle was, and I'm pleased to say that the ending delivered as well. Horrifically brutal, realistically tragic while also over-the-top, plus some emotional beats and a cast you cared about how they ended up, a lot of shows could learn from The Punisher. This is right up there with Daredevil Season 1 and the first Jessica Jones season in terms of quality MCU viewing, and indeed quality viewing in general.

KokoTeach: Multimedia Educational Program for Teachers
Created On: September 28, 2009
KokoTeach DVD
Multimedia Educational Program for Teachers — Motivation for Students
Redwood City, CA – Sep. 28, 2009 — Want to super-charge your classroom? The Gorilla Foundation, home of Koko the lowland gorilla who can speak to us through the use of America Sign Language (ASL), today announced the release of KokoTeach, a tool to do just this. Making use of Koko's remarkable ability to engage and motivate kids, this educational program inspires learning in students of all ages. The DVD, entitled "Meet Koko – Ambassador for Endangered Species," contains a set of multimedia Powerpoint presentations providing a variety of wonder-filled resources for teachers and curriculum developers to utilize in the classroom.
The KokoTeach DVD includes over 100 slides rich with amazing images, short video clips and an interactive "learn to sign with Koko" section. The program is designed to aid teachers in introducing students to the fascinating world of talking with the great apes using sign language. It naturally leads to an understanding of the importance of conservation of this endangered species and a curiosity about how to help.
Dr. Penny Patterson, Co-founder, President and Research Director of The Gorilla Foundation, states, "For years we have been receiving feedback from students and teachers about how Koko has inspired them to learn. Koko has a remarkable ability to motivate kids, and we are proud to be able to broaden our outreach with this educational program that encourages both teachers and students to learn more about sign language, gorillas and conservation of this amazing species.
The Gorilla Foundation has been giving local school presentations using these materials for several years, and would now like to give the materials directly to the teachers, so that they can reach a larger population of students — worldwide. This initial KokoTeach prototype DVD is being made available to selected teachers who agree to participate in an evaluation program, and provide sample curriculum constructed with the DVD materials to the Foundations.
Teachers who would like to know more about Koko and see her in action (motivating your students) may sign up for 3 units of professional development credit, sponsored by California State University at Monterey Bay and offered through Advanced Courses for Teachers (ACT). You can register for this three-unit course by visiting the Gorilla Foundation's Teachers webpage (www.koko.org/teachers-koko-teach) and clicking on the "KokoTeach Course Registration" link.
For general questions about the new KokoTeach educational resource program, email [email protected]. Addendum: The Gorilla Foundation has just begun to collaborate with a school district in northern California who is interested in applying the multimedia materials provided in the KokoTeach DVD to a social-media-based awareness- and fund-raising campaign to help Koko realize her 3 wishes: 1) an extended family of language-using gorillas (starting with a baby), 2) establishment of the Maui Ape Preserve (as a refuge and center of interspecies communication excellence) and 3) greater empathy of humans for great apes.
Conservation through Communication
Through its Conservation Education program, The Gorilla Foundation and it's partners in Africa work with schools, community groups, and wildlife protection advocates in Africa to promote empathy and understanding of the great apes using educational materials such as the books Koko's Kitten and Michael's Dream, video resources, and Koko's sign language posters.
The Gorilla Foundation's current major goals include:
Establishing the Maui Ape Preserve
Helping Koko to have a baby, with her mate, Ndume, thus fostering cultural transmission of a human-taught language to a new generation of gorillas
Providing and modeling the best care for gorillas in captivity
Developing multimedia and web-based educational resources for partner institutions, schools and wildlife advocates to help apply our knowledge base to practical conservation, legal rights and captive care achievements for great apes
About The Gorilla Foundation
The Gorilla Foundation is dedicated to the preservation, protection and well being of gorillas through interspecies communication research and education ¾ Conservation through Communication. The foundation was established in 1976 and is best known for its groundbreaking work with two western lowland gorillas, Koko and Michael, who were taught to become fluent in American Sign Language. The results are published in numerous research papers, books and videos available in our bibliography.
The Gorilla Foundation is a non-profit 501c3 corporation and is underwritten by donations from individuals, grants from foundations and corporations, and educational product sales. The Foundation receives no support from government sources. Donate here.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease either a mini muffin pan or donut hole pan with virgin coconut oil.
Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl, whisk to combine.
Add all wet ingredients except the frozen Wild Blueberries to a blender and blend until smooth. Blend on lowest speed for at least 1-2 minutes to plump up the flax seeds.
Pour wet into dry bowl and stir to combine.
Fold in the frozen Wild Blueberries.
Bake at 350 for about 11 minutes. Allow donut holes to cool for at least two minutes before removing from pan.
To make glaze: Blend ingredients until the berries are smooth. Pour into a small bowl and place in fridge.
When donuts have cooled to at least room temperature, you can glaze them. Dip half the donut in frosting then place on a plate. Tip! I place my donut holes in the freezer just before dipping, so that the glaze sticks well and hardens upon contact. This helps for a prettier, cleaner presentation – and for a thicker glaze coating. If you want to double dip your glaze, place dipped donuts in freezer for a few minutes to chill and harden, then dip again.
Once glazed you can serve right away or store in the fridge and enjoy later.. These donuts can be made up to two days ahead of time too!
