Last time we spoke, I told you about the blanket I designed that was inspired by a 'pet' goat – it took me a while, but I finally finished it.
I backed it with a soft baby blue minky fabric.
I will be making another this week for another family member – she is due in 3 weeks. Thank God for digital design.
Wow, it's beautiful! You should open a side-business selling these wonderful creations. Stopping by from AP Tuesdays.
Adorable!! Thanks for linking @Creative Itch's "Sew Cute Tuesday"!
So beautiful! Once you get the digital design done how do you get it printed onto the fabric? Do you send it somewhere or do you have a special machine? I'm fascinated with all of the amazing things you create and am more than curious how you do it.

An East Coast offshoot of the Las Vegas classic, Caesars Atlantic City has become a landmark in its Atlantic City, New Jersey home. With towering columns aspiring to the aesthetic heights of ancient Rome, this immense casino hotel offers tempting diversions. The hotel's theme carries through to the tranquil QUA Baths and Spa; however, some visitors felt that while the guest rooms were impeccably clean, they were also a bit on the plain side. On the other hand, Caesars' on-site facilities (including the popular Playground at Caesars, the pool and deck, and the numerous dining venues like the trendy Buddakan at the Playground and Morton's The Steakhouse) earn rave reviews. But let's be honest: The highlight of this property is the expansive casino, which boasts a wide array of table games and slot machines.

Thanks man. One thing I have now realized for sure-the best expressions come out as a flash of an instant.
And a review like yours makes that instant a habit.

Ah. The cool, crisp air of autumn is finally here. If you're one of the many people who loves to entertain outdoors when the weather is great, you may be looking for some fall patio ideas to switch things up a bit and add to the ambience.
We've pulled together 12 of our favorite fall patio ideas. You can use these ideas for inspiration, and make each project your own.
1. Create a welcoming, fall-tastic display with straw bales, mums, pumpkins, and decorative gourds. You can add visual impact with bold, seasonal colors including orange, red and bright yellow.
2. Spruce up the landscaping around your patio and plant some mums, ornamental cabbages, and other native plants with color interest.
3. Consider adding rustic stone edging or steps for a woodsy or country feel. You can place baskets, flowers and pumpkins on the steps for added appeal.
4. Fall is also a good time to add a retaining wall for natural seating, and to give you more space to decorate!
5. Add a wooden gate or an archway entrance to your patio retreat for privacy and beauty. Consider adding vining plants for a nature-inspired look.
6. Think about adding a swing to your patio area to cozy up on with your favorite beverage and some of your favorite people. People of every age love a swing. Create a cozy seating arrangement by pulling up a few chairs next to the swing.
7. Consider adding a wet bar to make preparing those beverages a snap – you don't have to go inside and miss a minute of the fun.
8. Let the lighting set the mood – hang up outdoor lanterns and add string lighting such as fairy lights. Turn your backyard into a magical place.
9. If you don't already have a fire pit, now is the perfect time to add one. Think s'mores!
10. Add some candles. Think fall scents like cinnamon and apple pie.
11. Spread around some cozy blankets for an added layer of comfort.
12. Up the coziness level with an outdoor rug in a warm fall color.
Did you know Fall is one of the best times to plant trees? Fall planting allows trees to establish a root system before the high temperatures of summer. If summer took a toll on your landscape, or you'd like to add shade in the summer and bright colors in the fall, consider planting a deciduous tree in the maple or oak families.
Looking to add privacy? You could build a fence, but you could also build a natural looking retaining wall, or a wall of evergreen shrubs or trees.
Be sure to consult with a landscape design team to ensure you are choosing trees that are well suited for your area and your location. There are few things worse than having to cut down a beautiful tree because someone didn't plan ahead.

Yesterday gold closed at exactly $1,400. A lot of people in our industry make a big deal over this number. Actually, it's irrelevant. I've been writing about gold through every "even number" from $300 to $1,900. Believe me, $1,400 is no big deal, but the hedge funds have decided to put up a fight here, and their computer-generated sale of contracts (paper gold) is geared to stop gold from rising, right here, at $1,400. They will eventually retreat and the same thing will happen all over again at a higher number, certainly at $1,500, $1,600 and up. None of the numbers have any special meaning. A big deal will be made of the first penetration of $2,000. This is a BIG psychological number and it also represents a new all-time high. But in the big picture, it won't be any more important than $3,000 or any other number, and trust me, the numbers will get bigger and bigger.
Around the time I went to bed, gold was rising and moving toward $1,410. But when I came down stairs to my office and checked the price on Kitco, gold was $1,397. The funds are playing their silly games….
The people "in (temporary) charge" have but two choices. They can introduce the policy that fixes the problems, the things that makes gold go UP, or they can try and silence the "voice" that is causing them embarrassment by pushing the price DOWN. In the midst of this, $1,400 is not important; it is just another stepping stone that people use to measure gold's immediate, short-term performance. The chart (above) should get you thinking – why do they fight so hard to hold gold down? It's not the price that is important, it is the REASON that the Gold Cartel (Fed, JPMorgan and bullion bank friends, and the disruptive hedge funds that throw billions of dollars at everything in sight in their quest to make a profit, all short-term motivated of course) fights its rise every step of the way that is important.
Don't lose sight of the forest for the trees. This short-term, daily noise is not important (unless you are forced to sell for cash needs now). If you want to better understand gold, look to the people who are BUYING the PHYSICAL metal NOW. They understand what is happening. And they are anything but fools, or short-term motivated. A majority of them reside in the Far East; China, Russia, India and I'll throw in Arab wealth to the mix as well. The voices that try and convince you that the bull market in gold is dead mostly reside on Wall Street. To them, long-term is their next cup of coffee or dose of Viagra. They make their money TRADING stocks and bonds. They want you to buy their products and they can't make any money on gold or silver – outside of blatantly manipulating the price, always to the short side. That said, their biggest profits in gold and silver will come on the long-side, but that is a story not yet told. It is coming to a theatre near you in the next two or three years.
Stock up now, and don't worry if the price might go down from here – it might. But when you look back in a few years from the lofty heights gold and silver will occupy, you will realize just how cheap they were in 2013 at these prices.
Backwoods Jack was giving me a little heat the other day because they made their last purchase at $1,650. "We're down almost $300," he said.
It's all about perspective, and the perspective is stuck on $1,400 for now. It doesn't mean a thing.
Today is a very special day. My son Andy and his wife Zhanna move into their new dream house, and believe me, it is quite something to behold. Susan and I built our dream house eight years ago. Now is Andy's time. He and Zhanna used the same builder and designer that Susan and I used in 2005. His house is much like ours, but it is one and a half times larger. Of course ours was built for just the two of us and his has to accommodate a family of five. It is a tribute to over 20-years of Andy's hard work and excellence. He started from scratch and did it all on his own! Congratulations, Andy! You are the best! No one deserves this more than you do. You have been the driving force for the last 10 years that has elevated Miles Franklin to a position of prominence and respect in our industry. I never would have done it without you. And yes, I will help you unpack the hundreds of boxes of "stuff" you are moving into the new house today. I am as thrilled for you as I possibly could be and want to share today with you.
Andy's clients who need to get hold of him for the rest of the week can still reach him. The cell phone is a marvelous thing (unless it's in the hands of your grandchildren, who never seem to put the damn thing down, even at meals). Andy will take your calls (if he isn't available you can call the main office and speak with his assistant, Laura). In fact, why don't you call him and place an order! He can use all the business he can get – he went so far over budget that he is a nervous wreck.
When he started building his house, 18-months ago, I told him that (1) you will spend far, far more than you are planning to spend and (2) it will take you much longer than you think to finish building your new home. Of course, he didn't believe me. I went through it eight years earlier and that's just the way it is. Well, it took a year longer than he expected, when they first broke ground, and it cost him twice what he budgeted for it. But what a house! What a guy! Andy and I both came from very modest beginnings – yes, the American Dream is still alive and well. Do the right things at the right time for the right reasons and treat people with respect and integrity and good things do happen. Miles Franklin is the proof that large trees do grow from small acorns.

Chiefs DB Reid ready to stop Bengals' Higgins: 'Gonna lock him down'
Caio Miari
Cooper Neill / Getty Images Sport / Getty
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has dominated several defensive backs since entering the NFL, but Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid doesn't think Higgins will do much in their matchup on Sunday.
"He's a very talented receiver, more of a finesse type of guy, not the best blocker," Reid said Wednesday, per PJ Green of FOX4 News. "I'm gonna lock him down."
Higgins has put on a show since the Bengals drafted him in the second round in 2020. The Clemson product, who caught 141 passes for 1,999 yards and 12 touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons, has racked up 826 yards and four touchdowns on 57 receptions in 11 games this year.
He also put up 103 yards on six catches in the AFC title game versus the Chiefs in January, helping Cincy edge Kansas City to advance to the Super Bowl.
Reid joined Kansas City in March on a three-year deal. The 25-year-old has amassed 52 tackles and two pass breakups in 2022.
"Some of the missed tackles, explosive plays," Reid said Wednesday when asked what he would've done differently versus the Bengals if he was on the Chiefs last season.
"A lot of it is going to come down to making the play on the ball."
The Bengals, owners of one of the NFL's deepest receiving corps, are also reportedly expected to welcome back star wideout Ja'Marr Chase, who's missed the last four games due to a hip injury.

Super Bowl 2013: Beyonce, Destiny's Child Album Sales Surge
4:34 PM PST 2/4/2013 by Keith Caulfield, Billboard
Beyonce's digital album sales jump 230 percent; Destiny's Child rocket more than 600 percent in week ending Feb. 3.
Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show has predictably sent sales of her music skyrocketing.
The diva headlined the Super Bowl XLVII halftime festivities in New Orleans last night (Feb. 3), where she performed eight songs and reunited with Destiny's Child.
PHOTOS: Super Bowl 2013: Beyonce Sings (Live!) and Reunites With Destiny's Child for Halftime Show
Industry sources suggest that in the week ending Feb. 3, Beyonce's digital album sales jumped by over 230 percent. Meanwhile, those of her group Destiny's Child soared by more than 600 percent. That latter increase is inordinately large as it includes sales of the trio's brand new "Love Songs" compilation, released last Tuesday. The set features one new recording, "Nuclear."
The album sales gains are also aided by discount pricing in both the iTunes and Amazon MP3 stores. The former discounted key earlier titles from Beyonce and Destiny's Child to $7.99 while the latter marked them down to between $5 and $7.99.
In terms of digital song sales, Beyonce's grew by an estimated 85 percent while Destiny Child's rose by over 300 percent.
STORY: The Whirlwind Story Behind Beyonce's Super Bowl Look
Beyonce's biggest selling song of the week was "Halo," which closed her eight-song halftime set. The biggest Destiny's Child song of the week, according to early data, looks to be "Say My Name" (which was not part of the halftime medley). Two Destiny's Child tunes were performed at the Super Bowl: "Bootylicious" and "Independent Women (Part 1)."
The week's official Nielsen SoundScan sales figures for Beyonce and Destiny's Child will be released on Wednesday (Feb. 6). Further impact from the halftime show will be felt next week, after a full seven days' worth of sales are registered post-game.

A Flu Vaccine That Could Be Delivered By Mail
Madison Square :: News
by balloon on Thu Jul 22, 2010 6:58 pm
Sometime soon your annual flu vaccine may come to you by mail in the form of a microneedle patch, thanks to the work of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology & Emory University.
The patch is like a Band-aid with tiny needles no bigger than the width of a hair, which are made up of a polymer substance that's water soluble, according to Mark Prausnitz, a chemical and bio-chemical engineer and professor at Georgia Institute of Technology.
The researchers successfully tested the patch on mice and have reported their findings in a recent edition of Nature Medicine. In the study, the patches delivered the correct dose of the flu vaccine.
The results of the study "suggest that dissolving microneedle patches can provide a new technology for simpler and safer vaccination with improved immunogenicity that could facilitate increased vaccination coverage," the article in Nature Medicine said.
The next step for the microneedle patch, which is said to feel kind of like fine sandpaper on the skin, is a human trail, but Prausnitz said the group is awaiting word on a funding request with the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
The way the patch works is simple, Prausnitz told the Star. It is applied directly to the skin like a Band-aid. The tiny needles, which have the vaccine inside them, pierce the skin and deliver the flu vaccine to the subject. The tiny needles dissolve into the skin, Prausnitz said, and the patch is removed.
Birth-control drugs are already delivered via a patch, as are a number of other drugs. But in those cases the medication is absorbed directly through the skin. With this patch, the needles pierce the skin and deliver the medication that way like thousands of tiny needles.
There could be a lot of other uses for the microneedle patch, Prausnitz said, including the delivery of insulin for diabetics.
With health authorities around the world increasingly calling for a widespread vaccination every year, Prausnitz and his team thought it would be a good idea to develop another method of delivery over injections by doctors and nurses. Many people don't have time to go to the doctor or are fearful of a hypodermic needle.
The microneedle patch would empower patients to allow them to give themselves their own flu vaccine, not only saving them time but possibly saving the healthcare system money, Prausnitz said. Doctors and nurses spend untold hours giving out vaccines when they could be doing other things.
In fact the microneedle patch might eventually be used to deliver all kinds of vaccines and could potentially revolutionize the way some drugs and or vaccines are administered, the scientist said.
"This is a collaborative study, involving the engineers at Georgia Tech and bioscientists at Emory University," he said. "As engineers we can design the device and understand the need. At Emory they understand the need but can't make the device. It is a nice cross-fertilization."

I'm always impressed by how beautiful Alex Hogreff's work is, so I tried to incorporate some of his techniques into these boards. Namely, the shadows within the sections. It takes some extra time, but I think it REALLY adds some punch.


Donegal's Olympic badminton player Chloe Magee, is due home in Raphoe,tomorrow night (Friday)for the first time since competing in the London Olympic.
Double Olympian Magee who comepted in the ladies singles at the London games, her second Olympics, is due to he arrive home between 7 and 8 pm where a welcome home reception has been arranged.
She will be first greeted at Raphoe Mart, before being paraded into the town, and to the Diamond, where she will be officially welcomed home.
Chloe who is the world number 44, played two matches at the London Games. In her first match she defeated Hadia Hosny, from Eypgt 2-0, before losing to world number 16, Pi Hongyan, from China, representing France.
Chloe returned to Dublin on Monday with the rest of Team Ireland, but remained on in the capital to take in yesterday's official welcome home for Team Ireland at the Mansion House, in the capital.
Donegal will be without sharp shooting forward Geraldine McLaughlin and her sister Nicole for Saturday week's All-Ireland championship quarter-final.
This arises after a request from the Donegal county board for a change of date was turned down by the national ladies GAA committee in Croke Park on Monday night.
Donegal had made the request because the McLaughlin girls' sister Lorna is getting married on that day.
The game goes ahead on Saturday week as planned in Dr. Hyde Park, Roscommon, and forms part of a double bill with the meeting of Monaghan and Mayo. The Donegal game throws-in at 12.30 pm.


Easter is here and the Battle Hoppers and Big Roosters are running loose all over San Paro. Enter these special districts to give a shot at hopping to the front of the pack and stomping out your competition. This event will run starting from 4/10/19 at 9 AM UTC and end on 4/24/19 at 9 AM UTC.
Collect as many eggs as you can within the time limit by mugging bunnies, chickens and other players. After collecting eggs, take them back to your contacts to earn points. Deliver as many eggs as you can before the round is over. Be careful though, the more eggs you are carrying, the more of a target you are and will be mugged by other players. If you mug them, you will steal all of the eggs that they are carrying. You can also kill them to steal half of their eggs. Mugging for eggs will also reward you with an Eggcelent shield that will make you fast and invulnerable for a short time.
You can earn 4 all new titles for this 2019 !
new elements of things ?
Woah, 4 new titles. Thanks my dood.
by mugging bunnies, chickens and other players.
The only rewards for this event are titles? I mean hey, I'm grateful for an event no matter what it is, I just... only titles?
Lixil can I get more information about the rules of the seasonal event ? your post carries little useful information .
for those who misunderstand the question . there is General information about the future event . before the start there are about 6 -8 hours . detailed rules of no ! what is the procedure and the number of eggs leads you to obtain new titles ?
Like the last year you will still be able to get the seasonal clothes, only thing changed is the titles. My apologies, it should have been on the post.
Here is more information regarding the event, I can not give more details then this sadly.
You need to find and mug bunnies and chickens that are walking around the city to steal their eggs. Bunnies carry 1 egg each, and chickens carry 5 eggs.
If other players have eggs, you may also mug them to steal all the eggs they are carrying, or kill them instead to steal half of their eggs.
Any further deliveries: You deliver only the number of eggs you are carrying.
Chickens are displayed on the map, they show on-screen directional indicators, and are also visible on the radar.
Players carrying the 20% highest number of eggs will show on-screen directional indicators and are visible on the radar.
The Easter Egg Hunt is a free-for-all event, with no teams or factions.
Each game lasts 20 minutes.
After mugging another player you will receive a speed boost and become invulnerable for a short time, allowing you to make a quick escape. This is indicated by a ring of floating eggs appearing around your character.
While invulnerable you will not be allowed to use any weapons, and the effect will be cancelled if you enter a vehicle or activate certain character mods.
Other players cannot interfere while you are mugging someone.
While you're carrying the top 20% number of eggs in the district you will not be able to return to the lobby, so be sure to drop your eggs off at a contact first before heading out.
my time to shine baby!
what about the arg skin?
what version of Easter egg will be provided to players in 2019 , stock or editable ? sale of old things that were previously provided to players for free is Unacceptable . You lose the trust of the players .
Did I make the cut, coach?
oh yeah , true , you guys said a patch was needed for that , will it come with it ?
Thanks Lixil, there hasn't been an Easter event the last two years (if I'm not mistaken) so I've never gotten to participate, I don't know what unlockables there has been!
Edit: This event is just meh, don't take me wrong.
in principle. I like the standard seasonal events , with new titles is a Standard Work . let's see how the event will take place on the servers .
how do you do that, LO ?
all . This is COLLAPSE .

More requires South Africa chief to give up over theft probe
Posted on December 1, 2022 December 1, 2022 by mineshparikh
JOHANNESBURG — South African president Cyril Ramaphosa was dealing with calls Thursday to step down after a damning parliamentary probe discovered he might have breached the nation's anti-corruption legal guidelines in reference to the alleged theft of a big sum of money from his Phala Phala recreation farm.
The calls observe allegations by the nation's former head of intelligence, Arthur Fraser, that Ramaphosa tried to hide the theft of an enormous sum of money from his farm in 2020.
In accordance with the report, Ramaphosa claimed the stolen cash amounted to $580 000, disputing the preliminary quantity of $4 million that Fraser alleged was stolen.
The findings have led to calls from opposition events and Ramaphosa's detractors throughout the ruling African Nationwide Congress social gathering for him to step down.
President Ramaphosa has denied any wrongdoing, insisting that he has no connection to the cash that was present in a sofa on the farm.
The ANC's nationwide govt committee, the social gathering's highest decision-making physique, is anticipated to urgently meet Thursday night to be briefed on the matter and probably decide Ramaphosa's destiny.
It comes as Ramaphosa is searching for re-election as social gathering chief throughout the ANC's nationwide convention subsequent month. Clinching the social gathering management would, in flip, allow him to run once more for South Africa's presidency in 2024.
"In all the circumstances, we think that the evidence presented to the Panel, prima facie, establishes that the President may be guilty of a serious violation of certain sections of the constitution," the panel discovered.
The report additionally criticized how Ramaphosa failed to tell the police consistent with correct process, selecting as a substitute to entrust the matter to the top of his presidential safety unit.
The panel raised critical questions on the place the cash got here from and why it wasn'td disclosed to monetary authorities.
"Another troubling feature about the source of the stolen foreign currency, is that the theft was never reported to the South African Police Services for investigation as an ordinary crime. Nor was the theft reported under the section 34(1) of PRECCA," reads the report.
The panel mentioned that Ramaphosa put himself right into a scenario of battle of curiosity.
"A serious misconduct in that the President violated section 96(2)(b) by exposing himself to a situation involving a conflict between his official responsibilities and his private business," mentioned the panel.
The primary opposition social gathering, the Democratic Alliance (DA) is amongst these calling for Ramaphosa to be impeached.
"The report is clear and unambiguous. President Ramaphosa most likely did breach a number of Constitutional provisions and has a case to answer. Impeachment proceedings into his conduct must go ahead, and he will have to offer far better, more comprehensive explanations than we have been given so far," mentioned DA chief John Steenhuisen.

Home » FIDDLESTIX© Classic Comics
FIDDLESTIX© was created in 1979, and began appearing in publications during 1988. The first FIDDLESTIX© Cartoons were originally black and white one-shots during the first three years. In 1991 -2011 they eventually evolved into the three panel horizontal strips, (2007 – 2010 Sunday examples are located on the FIDDLESTIX© Sunday Comics page.) During 2011 the panel reverted back to it's initial origins as a single panel feature. For the 25th Anniversary 2012-2013 there was a brief run of Limited Edition cartoon strips in the horizontal format featuring the characters as they appear now. The horizontal format still runs concurrently alongside the Sunday only single panel as Classic Re-runs.
There were three core characters that always appeared within the panels of the feature, Grizzle and Irving, a misguided bear and his sidekick pal snake respectively. The other character was Pinhead. The strips alternated storylines between Grizzle and Irving, and Pinhead. In 2007 the dailies were pulled from publications and moved to a Sunday only multi-panel feature format. 2012 marked the 25th anniversary of the characters being in publications.
Here are examples of the One-Shot Panel B/W FIDDLESTIX© dailies as they appeared on the printed pages during 1988-1991.
FIDDLESTIX© has also appeared in comic books, anthologies, and magazines throughout the cartoon strips existence. I would like to thank all the readers that have supported and read the comics for all these years. Thanks also goes out to all the editors and publishers that I have worked with. I really appreciate you fine folks for getting FIDDLESTIX© out to the masses. I never thought that the characters would of appeared in publications for this long and I really enjoy providing the funnies for you the cartoon and comic art form lovers across the globe. FIDDLESTIX© is still running in syndication in all it's different formats.
Here are the 3-Panel FIDDLESTIX© B/W dailies as they initially appeared from 1991 until 2008.
The original for the first strip below is exhibited through the FHHS Library Media Archive. This is how the strip looked during it's first initial run to the first 25 years. The dailies still run on the printed pages as a "Classics" format.
Here is an example of the FIDDLESTIX© dailies as they appear on the printed pages through "Classics" re-runs. Huge Thanks to the studio assistants that are always willing to help in getting the funnies out to the masses daily.
The photo of the original strip below is courtesy of one of the studio assistant's cartoon archive. I thought it would be fun to ask her to grab a photo that resembles the FHHS Library Media Archive photo. Since she owns a match to one of the original strips as they were framed for Galleries and Museum exhibits.
Here are examples of the "Limited Edition" 26th Anniversary Sunday strips

In order to initiate mediation proceedings, a request for mediation must be submitted to the NAI Secretariat by e-mail (secretariaat@nai-nl.org). Attachments must be sent along by e-mail. The request may be brief and it is not tied to a particular format. However, certain particulars must be mentioned in the request. The request may be submitted by all the parties involved in a dispute or by one or more of them. You may also use the Medation Request form.
If a request for mediation is not submitted by all the parties jointly, the NAI will send a copy of the request to the other party or parties involved, with the request to inform the NAI in writing, within fourteen days of receipt of the copy, whether it is (or they are) willing to conclude a mediation agreement.
A mediator is appointed if all the parties have informed the NAI that they consent to resolution of their dispute by means of NAI mediation. In principle, the parties jointly appoint the mediator. The parties may also ask the NAI to appoint the mediator via the list procedure.
The NAI then calls a meeting between all parties and the mediator. During this meeting the parties and the mediator conclude a mediation agreement, stipulating which disputes will be dealt with in the mediation and which rules of procedure will apply.
In consultation with the parties, a settlement agreement may be laid down in an arbitral award on agreed terms.

behest of Awami League. "They (AL) have also established control over the judiciary. All the democratic institutions have become the ruling party's puppets." BNP arranged the press meet protesting the attack on Mahmudur Rahman allegedly by the leaders and activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Kushtia the court premises. Fakhrul said as the BCL activists confined Mahmudur Rahman to a courtroom, he sought protection from the court. Though the court asked the officer-in-charge to come to spot and ensure the security of Mahmudur, he said the police officer did not comply with the court order. "Police unfortunately didn't take any steps though the highest authorities were also informed about the matter." The BNP leader also alleged that police officer who was present at the court forced Mahmudur out of the court room and handed him over to the ruling party cadres who later attacked him. After the incident, Fakhrul said the government should have ensured his treatment and sent him to any hospital with police protection. "But, they didn't do it. We strongly condemn and protest the incident." He demanded the government immediately arrest those involved in the attack and take judicial action against them. The BNP leader said those involved in such unfair acts will not be brought to justice until the fall of the current regime. BNP standing committee members Moudud Ahmed, Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Gayeshwar Chandra Roy and Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury were, among others, present at the press meet.

This weekend's Sunday Telegraph carried a letter from Lord Carey and five other bishops which the paper headlined The religious rights of Christians are treated with disrespect.
Jonathan Wynne-Jones reported this in the Telegraph as Senior bishops call for end to persecution of Christians in Britain.
Maev Kennedy reported this in The Guardian as Bishops claim lack of respect for Christians.
The BBC has Christians discriminated against, bishops warn.
Jonathan Bartley at Ekklesia writes that Bishops should substantiate or desist over 'persecution'.
George Pitcher in the Telegraph argues that British Christians aren't persecuted, but they are held in contempt.
Colin Coward of Changing Attitude writes Bishops who complain about crucifix ban maintain prejudice against LGBT people.
Mary Kenny in the Irish Independent writes that Christians are at their best when persecuted, marginalised, disrespected and denied their rights.
Ed Beavan reports this in the Church Times as Christians are discriminated against in UK, say bishops.
I generally think it's ludicrous when people on my side of the pond claim that Christians are being persecuted here…the facts are so obviously otherwise (anyone think it's likely that Ramadan or Passover will be declared federal holidays?) that an unbiased observer can only shake his head ruefully.
But for Christians in a nation where a Christian church is not only the established church, but where the head of state is the supreme head of that church and its spiritual leaders sit in the legislature to claim persecution, well….
Thus J Bartley. How right he is. All this persecution stuff is silly, self-indulgent, self-obsessed nonsense. Some of my work colleagues (agnostic/atheist academics) sometimes tease me for going to church. When told: 'they're laughing at you, Diogenes', Diogenes the Cynic replied: 'But I am not laughed at'. Dignity, self-respect, inner calm: these things are woefully absent from these Christians' armoury. Then they wonder why so many of their fellow-Christians decline to follow their dictates.
I wonder if the Lord Carey wants cheese with his whine. Claims of special privilege are always demeaning and insulting in a pluralistic society, especially coming from one who is draped in all the privilege that the title "Lord" caries with it.
You know, I feel sorry for all those poor flashers and public-urinaters whose rights are denied them, who are discriminated against in this secular society!
Mercifully, the process has begun of appointing Prelates to the Lords on merit, not merely on retirement. Soon there will be none who simply can't recognize that their greatest gift to their Office was to have retired from it.
Is anyone else besides me reading ++Rowan Williams's Ecumenical Letter as an oblique rebuke to Lord Carey and the other bishop signatories?
Yes Charlotte, somebody is reading the letter in the way you suggest. See my latest posting here.
"The hospital says she was asked to remove the necklace after a risk assessment showed it could be pulled by one of the elderly and sometimes confused patients in her care.

Americans Should Consider Leaving Country If Trump Is Reelected Says John Legend
However, he says, he thinks about leaving the U.S. "every once in awhile" if Trump was to remain in office.
byBien Luigi
John Legend is clearly thinking ahead in an interview published this week with Cosmopolitan UK.
The singer said Americans might "have to start thinking about going somewhere else" if President Trump wins the election again.
"At some point, if that project [to destroy democracy] was to be in any way successful, you'd have to think about going somewhere that is a true democracy, that has respect for the rule of law and human rights." He added, "If America chooses to be that place then people will have to start thinking about going somewhere else. It is truly disturbing and concerning," the musician, who's part of the EGOT club, said.
Legend, along with his wife Chrissy Teigen, have been outspoken critics of Trump, who called the 41-year-old star "boring," and referred to Teigen as the performer's "filthy-mouthed wife." Legend said he's "not nervous" about the November election because he believes the country is "exhausted" by Trump's poor actions.
However, he says, he thinks about leaving the U.S. "every once in awhile" if Trump was to remain in office: "We were born and raised here, all of our families are here. It would be hard to leave. But I don't know what one's supposed to do when you have a leader who is trying to destroy democracy," he said.
Legend expanded on his comments on Twitter, saying:
I love this country and have no desire to leave, but i stand by every quote in this article. Without a commitment to representative democracy and the rule of law, this nation is in serious peril. Anyway, let's vote to save democracy, save the nation. https://t.co/OzVosj8u8g

Composed in the studios of Université de Montréal in 2010 and mastered at DeMonfort University (MTI) in 2011. It's an acousmatic piece about the growing anger of a person from the inner point of view. Made only with field recordings and electromagnetic signal recordings, the intention was to give an organic life to electronic sounds through the intuitive gestures of nature and human error. There's 4 short movements: Surpris,..,, De l'échine à l'abandon,,..,, Agrandissements en direct de la rage qui nous pousse,,..,,,.,.,,. C'est noir de mondes.


Masterful Strydom wins on Candy Kisses!
A masterful ride by jockey Piere Strydom on board Candy Kisses at Turffontein Racecourse over 1400m, on Saturday 7 January 2018, saw her shed her maiden tag in good style. Candy Kisses blinkered for the first time was out in a flash, overcame the deep draw and Strydom just kept her balanced to win a good contest. She should go on from here. Congratulations to owner Anthony Joannides and family!


It began for me in April when I was toying with the idea of building an HTPC, a quick google came up with mythtv running on Knoppix. I downloaded this and installed on an old PC only to find I had no idea how to shutdown as I had never used Linux before but this seemed enough to spark an interest to find out more. More googling followed and led me to Ubuntu which I duly installed....wow all this for free why have I not tried Linux before? Although I was impressed it somehow felt sluggish compared to WinXP which I wasn't expecting. A friend suggested Puppy Linux which again impressed but it somehow seemed lacking and didn't quite offer what I was after. While searching the Puppy forums for a solution I noticed that several people there were using Vector Linux on their main PC. Well to cut a long story short here I am, been using Vector 5.9 now for around 3 weeks so thought I best say Hi.
A warning for anyone new to Linux....at first it may seem free but what nobody tells you is you develop an irrational desire to burn a cd of every distro you come across.
Glad to have another happy convert to Linux. Enjoy!
Welcome to Vector, hope you enjoy the experience.
I guess now I've settled on VL as my distro of choice I guess I best hit the donate button and cough up some hard earned.


In cooperation with Studio 727, we are working on a 3D object editor not only for the gaming industry. It should find a place on market for artists, especially today in the world of endless asset stores with scanned objects.
Currently, the project is in the alpha version.
The application worked on Bluetooth low energy technology for iOS. The application also displayed the current flight list for the pilots. With Bluetooth, two devices were synchronized for both pilots on board, and flight editing worked in real-time.
Flight has just been signed and sent to the server and synchronized automatically with other devices when they were nearby.
The project was done in 2016.
Work on the project consisted of two parts: web application and Android/iOS applications. The Web application has been used by companies to publish discounts on merchandise. Companies registered on the web added their discounts in their stores, and people looked at it on their phone.
We successfully completed the project for the client. The client, however, decided not to continue this project.


President Trump's inability to respond to one charge emanating from one witness, a charge not even within the purview of the special counsel, suggests he will be entirely overwhelmed when the closet full of shoes starts dropping. He never knew about the payments, or he did, or it was Michael Cohen's fault, or it wasn't a crime, or if it was a crime it was no big deal. This might be the most inept response to allegations of presidential wrongdoing ever.
Now consider all the other investigations out there — on collusion, the Trump Foundation and obstruction of justice. Each of those investigations represents a bevy of possible criminal charges. Under the umbrella of "obstruction," there could be specific criminal violations for obstruction, witness tampering, perjury and conspiracy. Consider that Robert S. Mueller III and the Southern District of New York could have multiple witnesses, phone records, texts, financial records, Trump's own words and, in some cases, recordings to bolster his case. The sheer weight of all that evidence would break even a stable defendant represented by the best counsel.
For Trump, it is becoming hard to imagine how he survives politically or legally. Even if he avoids impeachment or avoids removal, only about a third of the country (with a smidgen of the total universe of evidence available to them) thinks he's innocent. When charge after charge piles up, each backed up by multiple pieces of evidence, it's not impossible to imagine that elected Republicans will turn on him — or that Republican voters, who see his presidency at a standstill, will begin to look for alternatives for 2020.
He never thought his media circus would be entirely ineffective in stopping skilled prosecutors.
Trump's presidency, his financial empire and even his freedom are at risk. (Presidents can be indicted after leaving office and cannot pass out pardons for state offenses.) He can be angry at Sessions or Cohen, but he is solely responsible for his own fate, which right now looks awfully bleak.

2016 New Year's resolutions for presidential candidates
While many of us are considering diets, exercise, and acts of kindness as next year's self-improvement projects, those running for the highest office in the land need to be more serious about their 2016 resolutions to boost their support in hopes of winning their parties' nominations. I offer a few humble suggestions.
First, for the Democratic team:
Hillary Clinton. You really are, in the words of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, "the best prepared to be president of anybody that we've had in a very, very long time." You have the experience of being a secretary of state, senator, first lady, and years as a lawyer working on children's issues. You can answer a question — with a thorough, knowledgeable answer — on nearly any subject, as you've proved at campaign events, debates, and interviews. At the Benghazi hearings, you left the GOP inquisition in the dust. You're ahead in every national and most state polls. Yet you are disliked by many in the media, which tend to overplay your "scandals" like your private email server. You're often portrayed as unlikable, and less than truthful or trustworthy, and that's echoed in polls. You need to find an authentic way to be likable and trustworthy, knowing that many Republicans would rather swallow glass than vote for you. In short, you need to court the media.
Bernie Sanders. So many are "feeling the Bern," especially the Millennial voters that Democrats need to win. Your message about economic fairness resonates across the board, yet you still trail Clinton in polling. Your problem is that too many see you as a one-trick pony. We know you're not, but having your staff tell reporters not to ask any questions about ISIS on a recent trip to Baltimore didn't do anything to dispel what some perceive as a too-narrow focus. You stumbled with foreign policy questions at the first Democratic debate, although you recovered at the second one, which got limited viewership. You need to step it up to establish foreign policy and security credentials. The fact that your campaign has received such limited coverage so far plays into this narrative, but many GOP candidates have the same complaint.
Would that Democrats could combine Sanders' populism with Clinton's experience and expertise.
Martin O'Malley. Dude, you had ONE PERSON show up at a recent event in Iowa — and the guy STILL remained uncommitted. You were booed at the last debate when you tried to paint your competitors as old. You're not generating any support. You didn't even qualify for the Ohio primary ballot. We know you're gunning for a job in the next Democratic administration, but you're not doing yourself any favors. Drop out soon, for the sake of the Democratic Party.
Now for the dark side.
Former New York Gov. George Pataki dropped out just in time to avoid being on this resolutions list, so we're down to just 12 Republicans. If the GOP really doesn't want Donald Trump as the nominee, most of the rest of the field needs to drop out to merge their single-digit support and give it to another candidate.
Donald Trump. Yeah, like he would take anyone's advice but the overblown voices in his head. But here goes: You've managed to insult so many individuals and ethnic groups that we've lost count. When you talk about your mythical free border wall or your desire to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., your support only rises among your mouth-breathing fans. But there's one group you're continuing to alienate, and it would cost you the election should you be the nominee — women. You've developed a serious gender gap when it comes to women voters. That might be OK for a primary — the other GOP contenders aren't doing much better — but it's a losing strategy for a general election. So knock it off with the comments about Clinton's bathroom habits, Megyn Kelly's menstrual cycle, dating your daughter, and the like. (Think there's a chance in hell that Trump will change? Nah.)
Ted Cruz. It has become a joke that your Senate colleagues hate you. Your congressional fans are those in the Freedom Caucus on the House side, like Iowa Rep. Steve King, and they're as wacky as you are. And you, too, have a serious gender gap in your polling. Why don't you drop the mean routine and try giving a speech that's not filled with righteous anger and lies? You're gaining support from evangelical voters and cutting into Trump's lead. You could do even better if you weren't such an insufferable jerk. Of course, it's probably ingrained by now.
Marco Rubio. You have the worst attendance record in the Senate, and that's saying a lot. No wonder Jeb! Bush's super PAC is targeting your dismal attendance. You've evolved into the Establishment alternative to Trump, but you're not bothering to court voters in person in early voting states, either. You probably would make a better impression on people if you bothered to show up for your day job once in a while. Attend Senate hearings and listen. Show up and vote. Otherwise, you'll have nothing come January 2017.
Other than those three, should anyone bother to stay in the race? You could argue that they could compete until Iowa and/or New Hampshire, but what's the point? So these resolutions are not for their edification but for that of the Republican Party.
Jeb! Bush. Lots of really rich people gave you lots of money, and you squandered it by being such a poor candidate. Your super PAC has spent nearly $50 million, and your support has dropped from the teens to the single digits. Let those rich donors cut their losses (I'm sure they'll think of some tax scam) and go home. Drop out.
Ben Carson. See above. You're already bending the rules by giving paid speeches while supposedly "off" the campaign trail, and it's illegal to mix the two (not that the FEC is going to penalize anyone this cycle). Your wacky claims about pyramids storing grain and Chinese being in Syria have turned you into a laughingstock. Your campaign is leaking money, taking in less than you're spending, and you're sinking in the polls faster than a patient's blood pressure during a surgery gone wrong. Go back to the private sector where you can fleece conservative voters to your heart's content.
Chris Christie. The longer you stay in, the more lies you have to tell about your record. You might be the media's darling, but you're no one else's favorite. Go home and try to make amends to the people of New Jersey.
For these next candidates, the race has become nothing but a vanity project. Time for you all to drop out and fade into the electoral sunset, for the good of your party.
Mike Huckabee. Boy, how stupid does it look now to have given up that lucrative Fox contract? Beg for it back before they have a chance to change their minds.
Rand Paul. If Kentucky Democrats can't get enough people to vote against a stinker like Matt Bevin for governor, the state may be a lost cause for Team Blue. Go home and pay attention to your Senate race.
Carly Fiorina. You had your big moment when you spoke in complete sentences at the first kids' table debate and people noticed you. Now they've noticed that they really don't like you.
John Kasich. You were supposed to be the serious, "moderate" candidate who could save the party from Trump, but every time you say something that makes sense, your support drops among GOP primary voters.
Rick Santorum. You had momentum in 2012, but you're stuck at the bottom this time around.
Jim Gilmore. Are you still running? You don't even qualify for debates any more.
Note: The cartoon above has nothing to do with politics, but it was a chance to use a Calvin and Hobbes comic. Hey, how about Bill Watterson for president?
