It was 23:00 when I used this new meditation CD; this one is supposed to have a frequency to help change the brain waves to stimulate the Crown Charka and to open the third eye. While I was putting myself in the relaxation mode and simultaneously doing the vibrational state exercise while playing the CD. After a while I felt that the body was resting, and I could see the outline of my arm. There was a presence of a light around of my arm, going around my body. I felt as if I could separate from the body. I attempted to separate, however the body's energy was still dense, and I could not separate all the way. The head and neck was still attached, and I was not relaxed enough to leave the body. Then the unthinkable happened. I heard someone come into the tent. I could tell it was Sgt. M, as he came in the tent before he turned the light on, the crown charka emitted a field of light, within the field of light, there was a little boy, he went towards the air conditional unit. Then M turned on the light, and he saw that I was in the relaxed state, he interrupted me, and took me out of state.

The Orient Express: November 1974
It IS murder on the Orient Express.
That was one of my favourite lines from 50 years in journalism. I had just reached Istanbul after a three day journey on the Orient Express from Paris. And I had writer's block.
The journey was certainly not the romantic adventure of yesteryear. In fact it was hell. The cramped rail coaches were hot, steamy and uncomfortable. Then the line came to me and the story flowed from there.
I was working on the Daily Mail in London's Fleet Street and was assigned to travel on the famous train for a feature to coincide with the opening of the Agatha Christie film, Murder on the Orient Express, later that month. It was November 1974.
I arrived in Paris smartly dressed for a train used to seeing king's messengers, foreign diplomats and business magnates on board.
It turned out it was used by more humble commuters to shunt to and from their native lands with less portentous luggage than once filled the racks. My suit was never to be worn again on that journey.
No train in the history of the world has evoked so many dramas, so many sinister and thrilling escapes.
In 1974, the law in the six countries we travelled through was on the lookout for international smugglers, border hoppers and small time thieves – and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot would have had stellar cast from which to find a whodunit victim.
The legendary train began its 2,000 mile trek across Europe from Paris to Istanbul 91 years before my journey as travel opportunities began to widen around the globe. However, by 1974 the glamorous image of the romantic sounding express belied the ordinariness of the journey it had become.
We left the Gare Du Nord in Paris late on a Saturday night and woke up listening to the clickety-clack as we made our way across Switzerland to Venice and on to Belgrade, where it was snowing. We were truly behind the Iron Curtain and it was grim. Grim towns, grim scenery under slate grey clouds, with grim looking people.
At one point we slowed down to pass the wreck of a previous train which had gone off the rails killing several passengers.
Jet-age demands demoted it to just another express – and not a very fast one at that. The train stopped frequently at tiny villages and wayside halts to pick up locals, sometimes with their farm animals in tow.
Even the toilet was a hole in the floor. The sleeping arrangements primitive at best and most passengers wreaked of sweat.
The route, and standards of comfort, had changed since galloping gourmets could sample exclusive cuisine between the borders.
In 1974, travellers needed a pre-bought picnic – the buffet car was non-existent.
Platform pedlars had hungry passengers as easy prey. It cost a few cents for a hard boiled egg and hunk of dry, stale bread. Twenty-five cents for a bottle of soda and 50 cents for a bar of chocolate. And as the train was almost always running late, you had to make any trip onto the platform very quick indeed as you never knew when the train would pull out. On many occasions I saw passengers flying through the air to jump on the departing train.
M. Poirot summed up the journey back then: "All around us are people, of all classes, of all nationalities, and of all ages. For three days these people, strangers to one another, are brought together.
"They sleep and eat under one roof, they cannot get away from each other. At the end they go their separate ways, never perhaps, to see each other again."
In 1977, the Orient Express stopped travelling to Istanbul and by 2009 the Orient Express ceased to operate and the route disappeared from European timetables.
But recently a private-venture ensured that the train is running again and is back to how it appeared in the glory years. It even uses carriages from the 1920s and 1930s.The name is once again synonymous with luxury travel. And, of course, the price has escalated accordingly.

Situation comedies have long been part of our cultural DNA. From Seinfeld to The King of Queens, or in more recent years The Big Bang Theory, these programs have earned their iconic legacies over time by appealing to new viewers while also offering opportunities for advertisers to reach broad audience segments.
Sony Pictures Television has the next natural member of this franchise fraternity in The Goldbergs, which is entering syndication in fall 2017. The Goldbergs is currently enjoying its fourth season on ABC with more than nine million people per week now watching the antics of the title family in 1980s Jenkintown, PA. It is ABC's anchor program on Wednesday nights, kicking off a two-hour comedy block. (Pictured above, clockwise from top left: Series stars Jeff Garlin, Wendi McLendon-Covey, George Segal, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia and Sean Giambrone.)
At the midway mark of this 2016-17 season, The Goldbergs is the third most-watched comedy among adults 18-49, according to Nielsen data*, putting the series in good company behind broadcast network stalwarts The Big Bang Theory and Modern Familywhile topping them for better co-viewing among A18-49 with teens/kids.
The Goldbergs' entry into syndication will benefit from a strong launch partner in Tribune Media and a 98% national distribution footprint. Timeless family dynamics and universal experiences, wrapped in retro pop culture, make the case for Tribune's commitment, notes Sean Compton, the company's President of Strategic Programming and Acquisitions. "The Goldbergs' funny, relatable, family friendly storylines appeal to both viewers and advertisers," he says. "That broad appeal plus growing ratings makes it a great fit for our stations." Local stations are expected to carry the series in early fringe, prime access and primetime time periods, capitalizing on the series' broad family appeal.
With a TV-G rating, The Goldbergs offers an ideal environment for families, benefitting advertisers looking to reach both their primary and secondary audiences. Sony will sell a limited amount of national advertising time per episode (two minutes), with coveted A&B pod positions, allowing for less commercial clutter and solid commercial ratings retention. They will also have a 60-second national pod, allowing for custom branded content opportunities. (Advertisers can expect The Goldbergs to deliver an average of 94% live viewing, which is consistent with the strong real-time viewing patterns of Sony's other syndicated comedy series.)
"The Goldbergs is great for advertisers because of its versatility in delivering key demographics, and starting this fall, it will deliver this audience consistently for 52 weeks a year," says Stuart Zimmerman, Executive Vice President of Advertising Sales for Sony Pictures TV. "It's been a top performer for ABC wherever it's been scheduled and will add to our portfolio of proven comedies that includes Seinfeld, The King of QueensandRules of Engagement."
Dave Campanelli, Horizon Media's Executive Vice President and Director of Video Investment, confirms: "We are excited that The Goldbergsis entering the syndication marketplace. Not only is it a great comedy, but it also delivers strong co-viewing which tends to drive audience."

Professor Chris Shaw offers safety tips for Olympic protesters
by Carlito Pablo on February 3rd, 2010 at 12:55 PM
Olympic critic Chris Shaw has seen firsthand what police are capable of doing to break up rallies.
In April 2001, the UBC neuroscientist was right on the scene in Quebec City when riot cops let loose on antiglobalization protesters demonstrating during the third Summit of the Americas. As a volunteer medic then, he administered first aid to several people who got pepper-sprayed, doused with tear gas, and shot with plastic bullets.
With demonstrations planned this month against the 2010 Olympics, Shaw is putting together a team of medics to attend to people who may get hurt if violent confrontations with the police happen on the streets of Vancouver.
"The danger for protesters always comes from the police," Shaw told the Georgia Straight in a phone interview.
He expects to have a temporary clinic up and fully operational at the First United Church on East Hastings Street on February 11.
On February 12, protesters belonging to various groups will assemble on the north lawn of the Vancouver Art Gallery and later march to B.C. Place, where the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Olympics will be held. Other protest actions in following days are being lined up.
With the risk of police deploying tear gas and pepper spray, Shaw offered a few tips to those joining anti-Olympic protests.
A bandanna soaked in apple cider, for example, may prove handy. Wrapped around an individual's nose and mouth, it can diminish the impact of tear-gas fumes. Goggles that seal tightly around the eyes can keep out gas and pepper spray.
Carrying a water bottle is useful to keep hydrated at outdoor events. Water can also be used to wash eyes after tear-gas and pepper-spray strikes. Wearing contact lenses is not advisable.
An article in the June 26, 2001, issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal noted that chemical agents commonly used in tear gas are o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS), chloroacetophenone (CN), and dibenzoxazepine (CR).
According to "The Health Impact of Crowd-Control Agents", "CS, CN, and CR gases irritate the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract. They have been described as chemical barbs that cling to moist mucous membranes."
People with preexisting respiratory conditions like asthma or bronchitis may find it difficult to breathe if they are exposed to tear gas, according to the article.
The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsicum oleoresin, an oily extract of hot peppers that targets pain receptors, according to a CMAJ article that appeared in the publication's July 10, 2001, issue.
The piece, entitled "On Pepper Spray and Civil Disobedience", noted that pepper sprays cause inflammation of nerves, pain, redness of the skin, abnormal blinking of the eyelids, tears, and blurred vision.
Shaw said that although many people are worried about tear gas and pepper spray, he's more concerned about blunt trauma, whether it comes from riot batons or police horses.
"They could generate the kind of injuries that I can't deal with on the spot," he said. "And then I have to evacuate somebody. While that's going to be doable, it's going to be more complicated."
A guide released in November last year by the Vancouver law firm McGrady & Company has some suggestions on what protesters can bring. For example, having photo and video cameras may keep police in line, as they generally don't like to be recorded hurting people. Those taking prescription drugs are advised to bring their medication just in case they get detained.
Clothes should be comfortable for running, according to the guide. "Further, you do not want to be easily grabbed by your clothes or your hair by someone attempting to restrain you," it also states.
Vancouver Police Department spokesperson Const. Lindsey Houghton told the Straight that the force doesn't discuss "operational deployment or strategies or equipment".
Like other police agencies, Houghton added, the VPD has tear gas. Asked about rubber bullets, he said: "We have a number of less lethal options available."

why don't these people just get lives and let the City of Vancouver and the hard working people who put this all together and work 40+ hours a week who want to enjoy the games...enjoy them. You make yourself look like idiots protesting something you can't change...

@ ryan s. Its called "Free Speech", something you were just allowed to do online!
I am going to attend the Feb. 12th protest and I admit I am fearful of being attacked by the police. But a peaceful protest is not going to hurt anyone, nor disrupt the games. But it may bring enough international attention to the fact that the Olympics are an unnecessary and unwanted burden to the average tax payer, that other cities will think twice before they decide to have a party at someone else's expense.
I work 30-35 hrs a week and will be attending the protest, Ryan. I think the right to express our different views and assemble peacefully should be encouraged...if ur reading this man can I ask you have you ever been to a protest? I invite you to attend one as there will be many before and during the games and see what exactly our objectives are.
Feb 4, 2010 at 10:01pm
Ryan ever heard of freedom of speech? The Olympic protesters are speaking for all the folks that have been laid off, lost their housing and had their jobs taken over by volunteers with no recompense.
That the Olympics is a giant boondoggle for a thin layer of the society is a reality. I lost my home of 20 years due to the 'Olympic' greed of my landlord.] Please make yourself aware of the bigger picture and look outside of your narrow world. thank you.

The Olympics are all about image. Even though this city is very dispirited now due to the VANcouver OCupation, we are actually a lot stronger and they a lot more vulnerable than we realise. A big part of the VANOCcupation propaganda is meant to demobilize people through fear and intimidation. Their greatest weapon is fear and deception. If we can see through that we can see an outrageously expensive media event that is completely reliant on that illusion of popular support that is the Olmypic myth. All we need to do is make clear that the Olympics is what it is, ie a corporate imposition that has so many destructive aspects (too many to list here). That part should be easy. The real "enemy" is the corporate media who are very good as spin and deception, much more than the police - who are supposed to be accountable to us and eventually will be (though they will break the law at protests to silence people)
I was in Seattle 99 and FTAA 2001 protests and I've seen the spin. The image of violence, being outsiders, being irrellevent, being unreasonable... This is what the media will say. They love to focus on teargas - on page 6. The point is to not get sidtracked by that violence and lies because that is them winning. Us winning is exercising our "free speech" -- however that term itself is a pidgeonhole and so don't use it so much! What we are saying is right, it is not JUST because of free speech that it should be spoken. It is because the Olympics are a lie, a theft, a corporate takeover and exploitation of naive people who believe in something noble but unreal - the Olympic Myth. We need to advocate for local accountability and ending corporate welfare.
We are strong in one another.

Another tip to all protestors - If possible carry a VIDEO CAMERA with you to document any abuse from the authorities.
Operation Press Record encourages this.

A Burden to the Taxpayers?
The olympics cost 6 Billion every four years
The illicit drug trade is estimated at 400 Billion anually
The war in Iraq is estimated at 4 Trillion dollars.
Maybe find a more noble reason to protest?
The Olympics is an International sporting event which promotes world peace. It was only ever cancelled in 1916 and 1944. This is called WWI and WWII. They have a hard time co-existing.
So get a life and free yourself from The Grinch Mentality.

It is best to wear a good bike helmet when attending protests, as the rioting police sometimes get out of control and start wielding their batons on peaceful protestors. Also wear clothing with alot of padding if possible, including strong boots or running shoes for a hasty escape. Also, take your video camera, a large bottle of water, some tight fitting goggles (for tear gas and pepper spray), and a gas mask if possible. If you don't have a pair of goggles, then protective eyewear is advisable. Several layers of clothing can help against rubber bullets. Padded gloves. Ear plugs are useful against sound cannons, especially when combined with industrial ear muffs. A sign with a strong pole can be useful. If being threatened, get down on the ground and plant the stake in the ground and use it as a protective battlement. If being assaulted or attacked, run like the dickens (running shoes are helpful). If this isn't possible, then drop to the ground and curl up, protecting your head and face with your arms. Broken bones heal, but facial contusions are nasty, and eyes and skull are vulnerable parts. Generally, avoid mean looking, baton wielding, facemask covered, body padded, testosterone pumped robocops, especially when they are emboldened by being in a group.
olympics YES protesting NO

i hope more than a few protesters get their bell rung during the olympic games, teach the rest of you try-hard, wanna-be, yuppie trash a lesson that you can't always get what you want. and sometimes it's just better to enjoy life and go with the flow, if you care about the homeless so much and are willing to get tear gassed, beaten and possibly imprisoned, why not just move out of your luxury apartment with a gym you never use and couch you sit in too often and give that to a homeless person. then watch them ruin your apartment, take drugs and basically evict themselves once again - the REASON they are homeless in the first place.
Jim Van Rassel
I have a bad feeling about what inevitably will happen to some of our Olympic protesters. Most, if not all our RCMP, Military and especially Private security are not trained to have someone in their face, yelling or telling them how small their 'Gun' is *wink wink nudge nudge*. With the history of Police abuse Vancouve...r has experienced, some gun-totin' yahoo IS going to snap, and when that happens the streets of Vancouver will look more like a cagematch than the wonderland we have come to love and cherish.

A DESOLATE HOUR
by Mae Clair
Pub Date: 7/18/2017
Sins of the past could destroy all of their futures . . .
For generations, Quentin Marsh's family has seen its share of tragedy, though he remains skeptical that their misfortunes are tied to a centuries-old curse. But to placate his pregnant sister, Quentin makes the pilgrimage to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, hoping to learn more about the brutal murder of a Shawnee chief in the 1700s. Did one of the Marsh ancestors have a hand in killing the chief —the man who cursed the town with his dying breath?
While historian Sarah Sherman doesn't believe in curses either, she's compelled to use her knowledge of Point Pleasant to uncover the long-buried truth. The river town has had its own share of catastrophes, many tied to the legendary Mothman, the winged creature said to haunt the woods. But Quentin's arrival soon reveals that she may have more of a stake than she realized. It seems that she and Quentin possess eerily similar family heirlooms. And the deeper the two of them dig into the past, the more their search enrages the ancient mystical forces surrounding Point Pleasant. As chaos and destruction start to befall residents, can they beat the clock to break the curse before the Mothman takes his ultimate revenge? . . .
Mae Clair opened a Pandora's Box of characters when she was a child and never looked back. Her father, an artist who tinkered with writing, encouraged her to create make-believe worlds by spinning tales of far-off places on summer nights beneath the stars.

Nothing warms the heart quite like a baby in all its chubby glory. Take a casual stroll through any social media site, and in no time at all, you're greeted with the picture of an adorable child who inspires thoughts of matching mommy and baby outfits, their first smile at you, and the ideal partner to raise your little one with. For those of us who are childless with verifiable baby fever, the good news is we're not alone. Nineteen women share their sweet, funny, and absolutely candid confessions about pining for a baby of their own, courtesy of Whisper.


When we talk about "the poor" we almost always talk about people who are lacking in one specific resource—money. In fact we oftentimes see classifications based on income as one of the primary divisions within society, for example, our tax brackets or developed versus developing countries. It's easy to understand why; after all, money is tangible and wealth easily quantified and measured. Is money truly the only resource that matters, however?
The obvious answer seems to be "no", but then why is it that so many of us automatically feel pity for those with fewer economic resources than ourselves? While money is certainly important, crucial even, it is not the only resource we as human beings have. We have the love and support of our family and friends. We have our skills, both with our hands and our minds. We have our time, our autonomy, and our voice. We have our passions. We have our faith. We have our dignity.
It's not that money isn't important, but by focusing on monetary resources to the exclusion of all else we create a false hierarchy among individuals and groups.
It is easy to look at "the poor", as I often have, as having categorically worse lives than the rest of us. After all, what about not having air conditioning on a 90° day could possibly be appealing? But before we jump to conclusions, we must take an inventory of ourselves.
After visiting some of the Human Connections partners, I could only marvel at the kind of deep connection each one felt for his or her heritage, the skills they had to make beautiful objects with their hands, and the love and devotion the couples had for their lifelong partners. Far from galvanizing my sense of pity, this experience has made me realize that the Human Connections artisans and many others like them have a variety of resources that I lack.
I am richer than them in one sense, but they are far richer than me in others.
By recognizing these differences, it is possible to exchange our very different resources, for both of us to become richer. This is not traditional charity where I give my time and money and get the feeling of having done something good. This is a mutually beneficial interaction where we both come away with a little bit more of the resources that we lack. We are equals. Viewing the world simply as an income scale removes the nuance and insight that makes the human experience what it is. Money is important, but it's not the only resource.

Southwest Rises Above Oil Spike
The low-cost leader's fuel-hedging program helps it easily beat first-quarter earnings expectations.
Updated from 8:39 a.m. EDT
Investors showed their love for
(LUV) - Get Report
shares Thursday after the company reported stronger first-quarter profits that beat Wall Street expectations.
The low-fare airline Thursday reported first-quarter net income of $76 million, or 9 cents a share, almost triple the $26 million, or 3 cents a share, it earned a year before. On average, analysts forecast EPS of 5 cents, according to Thomson First Call.
Earnings were driven by strong revenue trends in March, Southwest's aggressive fuel-hedging program and cost-cutting. EPS also received a 2-cent boost from changes in the fair market value of derivatives the airline uses to hedge fuel costs.
Southwest said revenue was $1.66 billion, up 12.1% from $1.48 billion a year before and higher than the $1.65 billion analyst consensus.
Shares were up 18 cents, or 1.2%, at $14.90 after rising as high as $15.40. Most other major airline stocks fell, however, and the
Amex Airline Index
was off 3.8%.
"Considering the many challenges our industry continues to face, we are grateful to report first quarter 2005 earnings of $76 million," said Gary Kelly, the company's CEO. "Our rigorous focus on cost reduction and successful fuel hedging program shielded us from record high energy prices and enabled us to report our 56th consecutive quarter of profitability."
Unit revenue, measured in revenue per available seat mile, or RASM, increased 1.9%, driven by a significant increase in Southwest's freight business and positive passenger revenue trends in March. Easter's early occurrence boosted the airline's load factor, or percentage of seats filled, to 73.7% during the month. Southwest's recent fare increases, its code-sharing agreement with
(ATAHQ.PK)
and capacity reductions by competitors also boosted March unit revenue.
That performance surprised some analysts. J.P. Morgan's Jamie Baker, for example, expected unit revenue to decline 1.5%.
Most U.S. airlines are expected to report significant losses for the quarter as a result of high fuel costs.
But Southwest's aggressive hedging program, which capped 86% of its fuel needs in the first quarter, reduced its fuel expense by $155 million. The airline has hedged 83% of its second-quarter needs at a crude oil price of $26 a barrel. Oil's recent surge to new record levels will increase the airline's unhedged fuel expenses, however, and Southwest expects to spend more this quarter on jet fuel than the first quarter's 90.3 cents a gallon.
Southwest continued to trim other expenses. Excluding fuel, unit costs, measured in cost per available seat mile, or CASM, fell 3.8% to 6.32 cents. The airline said non-fuel unit costs will not "significantly exceed" that level in the second quarter.
Although the company said bookings are "satisfactory" for May and June, the early Easter this year is negatively affecting passenger traffic in April. The company said its load factor will likely decline this month from a year ago, which could prevent second-quarter unit revenue from increasing from last year.
Southwest's balance sheet remains strong. The airline ended the quarter with $1.9 billion in cash and an available unsecured credit line of $575 million.
During the quarter, airline returned some cash to investors in the form of stock buybacks, purchasing about 3.9 million common shares. The buybacks were part of a previously announced $300 million repurchase program.
Next week will see a stream major airlines report earnings, with
(CAL) - Get Report
AMR's
(AMR)
scheduled for Wednesday.
(JBLU) - Get Report
(DAL) - Get Report
(NWAC)
plan to report Thursday. Analysts predict all will log hefty losses, with the exception of JetBlue, which is expected to earn 3 cents a share.

Patriots' Jimmy Garoppolo created some excitement for fans
By Anthony Gulizia Globe Correspondent,December 29, 2014, 2:53 a.m.
FOXBOROUGH — The majority of the Patriots' 17-9 loss to the Bills in their regular-season finale Sunday was filled with uninspiring football from the home team.
If there was even any excitement going into a game in which the Patriots had already locked up home field for the AFC playoffs and Buffalo was eliminated from playoff contention, it was deflated when Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman headlined the Patriots' list of inactives, foreshadowing what was expected — a game filled with backups on both sides of the ball.
It was quiet in the parking lots before the game and seemed even quieter inside Gillette Stadium.
Yet the crowd of 68,756 — or what was left of it — had something to cheer when backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo relieved Tom Brady for the second half.
"It was a good experience," Garoppolo said. "Getting out there and actually getting some live reps will only help going forward.
"There's plenty of room for improvement – there's some good things, bad things, and things to learn from."
Garoppolo, who had played 34 snaps in his rookie season entering Sunday, completed 10 of 17 passes for 90 yards, but it was his scrambles out of the pocket that got the crowd and the Patriots' sideline fired up.
In the fourth quarter, on first and 10 at the Patriots' 31, Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes was headed straight for a sack but Garoppolo spun away from him and evaded a couple more tackles on the way to a laboring 4-yard gain.
After an incomplete pass to running back Brandon Bolden, Hughes had the rookie for what should have been another sack on third and 6, but Jukin' Jimmy spun away once more, diving for a first down with a 9-yard gain.
Garoppolo finished with 16 rushing yards on four attempts, but it appeared to be much more as he ran every which way to avoid Buffalo's front line.
"If I have to do it, you have to do it. It's one of those things, you never know on a play if you're going to have to [run] or not, so you just have to be ready," Garoppolo said.
"It's kind of instinct. It's something that just kind of kicks in during the game. If you think about it, you're going to get hit."
Garoppolo's teammates were jacked up on the sideline after he dived for the first down, most notably special teams captain Matthew Slater and defensive back Tavon Wilson.
"You always like to see a young guy get in there and get himself an opportunity, and there's one thing about Jimmy, he's a competitor and he loves the game of football and was able to get out there and make some plays with his feet," Slater said. "You always want to see your teammates do well, especially a guy that has worked hard in the role he's been asked to perform in. It's not the easiest of roles, and for him to take advantage, we're pumped for him."
"He was extending plays, so I was trying to bring energy the best I can and be excited for my teammate," Wilson added.
Garoppolo made some exciting plays with his feet, but he took his share of hits, too. On the second play of his first possession, Jarius Wynn crunched him for a 3-yard sack.
"I don't get hit in practice, so that was a little different," said Garoppolo, whose only other appearance came in Week 4, when Brady was pulled in the fourth quarter of a 41-14 loss at Kansas City.
"[Buffalo has] a good front four and a good pass rush. Always good to get that first hit out of the way, but the less, the better."
On the next drive, Mario Williams sacked him for a 1-yard loss, then Hughes dropped him for a 3-yard loss, but the Bills were called for defensive holding.
Two plays later, facing third and 1, Garoppolo ran an option for 4 yards and the first down. The drive ended when the Patriots tried a similar call on fourth and 1. Garoppolo lowered his forearm into cornerback Ron Brooks and knocked off Brooks's helmet, but he was stopped for a 1-yard loss.
"He might be a little bit sore tomorrow," Slater joked. "We were happy to see him get up after every hit and bouncing around and continuing to compete, but hopefully he gets some ice on that body."

'Longmire' Proves Hard to Kill
by Doug Snauffer
As the TV landscape continues to diversify, it's nice to know there's still room for an old-fashioned show like Longmire — even though it's survival has included a number of last-minute reprieves.
Based on the novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson, Longmire is best described as a modern-day Western. It's protagonist, Sheriff Walt Longmire (Australian actor Robert Taylor), upholds the law in Absaroka County, Wyoming. Walt is a widower who lives in a small secluded cabin on the edge of the Big Horn Mountains.
When he's not on the job, he spends his free-time drinking Rainier beer and pining over his recently deceased wife. When he's on the job, Walt Longmire is a force to be reckoned with. He's a large man who — as far as Western lawmen go — is reminiscent of Gunsmoke's Matt Dillon (Although at 6'7″, James Arness had 5 inches on Taylor.). Walt is capable, strong-willed, dedicated, and has proven to be hard to kill — even by short-sighted TV executives.
Robert Taylor stars as Sheriff Walt Longmire in the Netflix original series Longmire.
Longmire debuted on A&E in June of 2012, and continued to play as a summer series the following two seasons. It was A&E's highest-rated scripted program, pulling in an average of 3.7 million viewers each week during it's third season.
Then in August of 2014, just as it's third season was coming to a close, A&E shocked Longmire devotees by cancelling the show. They explained that despite it's impressive numbers, "the series found its largest audience amidst a specialized demographic." In other words, 3.7 million people may have been watching Longmire, but they were the wrong 3.7 million people. They were over the age of 34.
They proved to be a surly lot, however. Fans rallied back in one of the most comprehensive protests ever geared towards the cancellation of a TV series. Meanwhile, Longmire's production company, Warner Horizon Television, began looking for a new home for their show.
Lou Diamond Phillips as Henry Standing Bear, best friend and confidant to Sheriff Walt Longmire.
They sent proposals out to all the major players, but from the start they were eyeing either Amazon or Netflix. Their efforts were soon rewarded. Just a scant three months after A&E's surprise cancellation, Netflix picked Longmire up for a fourth season, which premiered in the fall of 2015.
A fifth round of episodes in the fall of 2016 received a warm welcome by fans, who binge-watched the season in large numbers. Rumors had begun to circulate over the summer that these would be the final batch of episodes, but once again the program persevered, and the streaming service officially announced a six go-round of Longmire was in the works for 2017.
(Left to right) Adam Bartley, Katee Sackhoff, and Robert Taylor take a knee in Longmire.
Walt's posse includes sassy deputy Victoria 'Vic' Moretti (Katee Sackhoff), who harbors romantic feelings towards her boss, deputy Jim 'Ferg' Ferguson (Adam Bartley), a dedicated officer often inapt in his duties, Walt's daughter Cady (Cassidy Freeman), an attorney who is every bit as pertinent as her dad, and Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips), owner of the Red Pony bar and Walt's best friend and confidant.
Absaroka County is also home to a Cheyenne Indian reservation, where local businessman and resident villain Jacob Nighthorse (A Martinez) has just opened a gambling casino that Walt fears is a front for illegal activity. Malachi Strand (Graham Greene) is Chief of Security for the casino, and Mathias (Zahn McClarnon) is head of the tribal police.
Robert Taylor (left) and A Martinez (right) in a scene from Netflix's original series Longmire.
Rounding out the Longmire universe is Ruby (Louanne Stephens), Walt's office manager and dispatcher, Travis Murphy (Derek Phillips), a naïve, near-do-well deputy-wannabe who has somehow managed to steal Victoria's affections, and Dr. Donna Sue Monaghan (Ally Walker), a psychiatrist introduced in season 4 who has awakened feelings of passion in Walt for the first time since the death of his wife.
Longmire is a far cry from most TV crime procedurals. It's filmed largely on outdoor locations at a deliberately slow place, and the scripts rely heavily on character development. It consists of 10-episode seasons (with the exception of it's second year, which contained 13). But the writing is above par and the story arcs (typically one major thread per season) are intriguing and satisfying.
The characters are all multidimensional and exhibit self-destructive behavior. They're as much a threat to themselves as any of the contemporary outlaws they go up against. Walt has a need to do things his own way, whether he's acting within the bounds of the law or not — and his deputies tend to take their leads from him.
Longmire (Netflix). Walt's best friend, Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips), is taken into custody by Mathias (Zahn McClarnon), head of the Cheyenne tribal police.
I do have one problem with the series, however. With Walt, Vic, and Ferg so wrapped up in their cases, I have to wonder who is handling other police business. Don't they ever write speeding tickets?
Production on Longmire is set to resume in March, and the new season should begin streaming this fall. But word has already begun to float that these next 10 episodes will be — yeah, that's right — the series' last. We'll see what Walt Longmire has to say about that.

This and Stormwind Harbor is from Wrath of The Lich King right?
Anyone notice that they have more hp than Dockhand but are same level?
Don't waste your Love Tokens or time on these, they seem to be glitched and won't give you a pledge 90% of the time.
Edit: It's a known bug.
They have same hp as the royal guards, I wonder if they do the same dmg also.
I tested some emotes on other notable NPCs in Stormwind and Elwynn Forest; however, none reacted to any emotes. This was a fun experiment to do and I wanted to break this down for anyone curious.


O-kay, I have wanted to foster open political thought rather than destructive arguments, but if this is not a reason to vote for the other team (the one with Sara Palin on it), I don't know what is. I am most curious as to why the vapid Lindsay thinks she could be influential in this role. Enjoy!

Insurance Write off Fishing Boat from Scotland
By Luke Edney|2022-01-13T10:14:27+00:00January 29th, 2021|Insurance Job, Portfolio, Scrap a Boat, Scrap a Motorboat|0 Comments
Scottish Coastal Boatbreakers Collection
Boatbreakers cover the whole of the UK and Ireland. We've spent many years plucking boats out of tricky coastal locations across the British Isles. End of life boat disposal always throws up logistical challenges as the boats are usually damaged or wrecked. Often we are collecting boats from parts of the coast that they shouldn't be in.
However one of our latest jobs presented more Covid related challenges as our simple plan to collect became delayed by the various lockdowns.
Portencross Harbour
At the end of 2020 we had a call from an Insurance company who had a boat they needed collecting. The boat in question was an 18ft Fishing boat which had been damaged in a storm. It was currently sheltered in a small harbour in Portencross on the west coast of Scotland.
When we got the first call it was just before the November lockdown so we weren't really able to get up to collect her. Simply because our team were not allowed to stay anywhere overnight. Both in England or Scotland.
Time ticked on and approaching Christmas we had another call to confirm that the insurance company wanted to proceed. However again we were slightly stuck as being so close to Christmas our team were already booked up or on the Christmas break.
Full lockdown
Scotland then decided to enter a full lockdown which was swiftly followed by England. This meant we expected to have to wait until restrictions were lifted. The insurance company understood the predicament we found ourselves in and were happy with the arrangements. Similarly the boat's owner was extremely understanding of the delays and helped to keep the boat empty of any water.
With the job firmly on the back-burner we were having another boat delivered to us when one our friends from up north contacted us. Dubbed "Northern Steve" (to avoid confusion with our own Steve), he is a trader of boats and boat bits based in Warrington.
Friends in the North
Our paths first crossed when he bought a RIB from us a couple of years back. Steve offered to collect the boat for us as he was much closer to Scotland and could comfortably grab her in a one day trip. We of course took him up on this offer and explained our plan on how we were going to collect her.
The plan was to reverse a trailer as close to the boat as possible on the nearby slipway. Then get a rope to the boat and as the tide came in, winch her up and onto the trailer. All very straightforward as long the trailer was set up ready before the tide came in.
Steve was there bright and early and was set up so it was just a matter of letting the tide flow in. He did say that the boat was a slight pain to load as it was heavier than he expected. But this might be down to any excess water she had taken on when she was damaged.
Safely Loaded
With the boat safely loaded Steve then headed south back to his base in Warrington. As you can see from the pictures the conditions in Scotland and the North of England were extremely snowy. But as the boat was already loaded it was just a case of taking the drive steady.
The boat is due to make it down to us sometime in the near future when Steve is heading to the south coast. Once we receive the boat into the scrapyard we will check her over and make a decision on whether to scrap or salvage her.
All the pictures and details about the boat will be shared in our Boat Scrapyard group on Facebook. If you haven't joined already all are welcome. At the time of writing we've just reached 16,500 members.

200,000 Scottish baby boxes show Ireland the way – Richmond
5th December 2021 - Neale Richmond, TD
As the Scottish Government announces the delivery of its 200,000th baby box, a Fine Gael TD has called on the Minister for Children to not allow Covid continue to stall the planned Irish roll out.
Dublin Rathdown's Deputy Neale Richmond has written to Minister Roderic O'Gorman calling on him to ensure the Programme for Government commitment to roll out the baby box is met.
"I was delighted to secure a commitment in the Programme for Government to roll out baby boxes across Ireland. The Scottish Government's Baby Box scheme was started four years ago following long standing examples from places like Finland and Germany; it provides families with a range of essential items for their baby's first six months.
"The contents of the box are designed to inform and support positive parenting behaviours, and the box itself can be used for the baby to sleep in.
"Providing baby boxes across Ireland will ensure that all newborn babies have the same basic supports for the start of their lives, regardless of their circumstances.
"Last year in Scotland, a record 98% of expectant parents requested a baby box, a significant rise on the 85% when they were first launched in 2017.
"It is vital the Government delivers on this very clear commitment included in the Programme for Government. The Department of Children has understandably cited the pandemic as a major factor in the delay of a nationwide roll out following various pilot schemes.
"However, that excuse simply won't cut it forever and I have written to Minister O'Gorman asking him to not allow Covid continue to stall the planned Irish roll out.
"The delivery of 200,000 Scottish baby boxes shows Ireland the way, there can be no more delay," concluded Deputy Richmond.

Green frame pad for 1.80 m trampoline.
The frame pad on your trampoline is one of the safety components that you should never ignore. As soon as it is damaged, you should rapidly change it to ensure the comfort and safety of users. This frame pad is adapted to small round trampolines of 1.83 m in diameter with springs of 180 mm in length.
- This green frame pad can be used with the Oxygen 180 trampoline or any other trampoline from another brand that is similar. You should be careful that your trampoline has the same characteristics of size and spring length. Make sure you measure your trampoline carefully before ordering.
- France Trampoline's frame pads are made from expanded polyethylene or a monobloc EPE foam which is 10 mm thick. This makes it frost-resistant and shock-resistant.
- Our frame pads are made from one layer of foam, making them very resistant. This monobloc ensures that your frame pad is very durable.

TEVEZ HAMMERS HOME CITY INTENT
It was cool, it was calm and it was definitely collected. I could be talking about Carlos Tevez's first goal celebration or City's overall performance during the 90 minutes. But surely the time is now to take the Eastlands outfit seriously after the sides' comprehensive 3-1 victory against West Ham.
In fact it was far easier than perhaps had been forecast. Mark Hughes' blues were looking to bounce straight back from their heartbreaking last-gasp Derby day defeat, Gianfranco Zola's Hammers looking for only their second Premier League victory this season. City striker Tevez was facing a former team for the second league game in a row- and return to haunt them he most definitely did with a brace, sandwiched around a classy free kick from Martin Petrov.
The 3-1 score-line didn't reflect City's dominance throughout the 90 minutes. Tevez's first goal, set up well by Petrov, was met by the Argentinian apologising to the travelling West Ham fans who had been so grateful of his goals that had saved them from relegation. That goal should have proved to be the precedent for City to move on and storm the match, but Carlton Cole had different ideas. A ball through from Radoslav Kovac set Cole up for a simple equaliser. The Irons then had a chance to take the lead but Scott Parker's goal was disallowed after the referee had blown for a foul by Cole on Joleon Lescott.
It was all City from that moment on. A foul on the in-form Nigel De Jong gave Petrov a chance to find the net- an opportunity that proved too tempting to resist. The Bulgarian, disheartened at a lack of first-team football, seemed to channel his frustration and anger through his shot and drilled the ball low to give City the lead. He ran straight over to the dug-out and pointed vigorously at the back of his shirt. Point made.
Tevez, Lescott and Bellamy all had chances to extend the lead and it was Tevez who scored City's third on the hour mark with a simple header. The one-way traffic continued with Gareth Barry and Petrov enjoying shooting practise. With 15 minutes to go, Hughes introduced Roque Santa Cruz to the City faithful for his debut. Michael Johnson, another graduate of City's youth academy, was also brought on as a substitute as the minutes ticked away.
Although West Ham aren't a club that are at a level that City see themselves competing at, it was a sublimely confident and assured performance by the Eastlands club. With Emmanuel Adebayor coming back from his suspension and Santa Cruz gaining match fitness, the current top four have every reason to be wary and afraid. The new-look City are shaking up the status quo and bringing a different dimension to the somewhat stale and predictable order of the Premier League. Next up is another test and one that should provide a more realistic challenge- Aston Villa away.

Well, isn't that amusing? No, it's not.
Funny thing about the English language, sometimes we have words that sound like they mean something and those words mean something completely different. Today, we have another word that is commonly misused. I find myself bemused by some of the ways this word has been used incorrectly.
The most common misuse is when an individual uses it referring to being amused. Then a second flawed usage is to ponder deeply. In a speech, I once heard the speaker use bemused stating he was thinking deeply about something. It was this speech that had me looking up the word. It sounded out of place. For good reason, it was. I know I'm a weird person that really likes to know the meaning and origin of words.
I suppose those both of the inaccurate use of the word bemused are somewhat understandable, as one could almost hear the word amused or muse in the confines of the word itself.
What the word bemused actually means is, bewildered, puzzled or even confused. I think this one is often used correctly, but may be surprised to discover how many people have the wrong meaning attached to this word.
The real question may be why do we care? As a writer or non-writer, it is important to know what you're actually saying. Not to sound smart but to avoid offending or confusing others with the things we write and say.
Tomorrow will wrap up our week of commonly misused words and phrases. If you have one to add please do add it to the comment section. You all know I love my list. I would very much enjoy adding another word/phrase.

Edinburgh Fringe 2021
For All the Love You Lost
Morosophy Productions
Genre: Drama, Fringe Theatre, Theatre
Venue: Space @ Surgeon's Hall
Festival: Edinburgh Fringe
Boy decides to date. Girl decides to date. They have friends and family who think this is a fantastic idea and they support them in all of their choices. The restaurant prepares itself for their arrival and makes sure that they have somewhere to find true love whilst helping them out as they need support in their anxious states to encourage talking. They talk. They expose themselves and explore the topics of pain and panic before recognizing in each other what it is that makes them want to move on, progress and get on with their lives. And then… Well… Not all endings get told…
There is a lot to really like about this show. I love the fact that they have been bold enough to do several things – firstly, not to provide us with the pat, lazy ending; also, they use a variety of theatrical techniques within a hazy structure that asks us to think and not just observe; and then there is the use creatively of movement. There are too many productions which seek to take the young and shoehorn them into the plays of the past hoping that a 22-year-old playing a middle-aged mother will look convincing. Here she does (I have no idea her age, but she looks around early 20's) because the whole show is not trying to pretend that it is something which it isn't. They are talking about issues that affect them in a way that their training and career allows them – creatively.
Some of the technical elements could do with bedding in over time – lighting for example – but this does not affect it adversely. I think elements of the script could also do with a polish – sometimes the restaurant staff are speaking "plot expose and commentary" rather than genuine narrative. And the direction is quite plodding at times and could do with taking more of the elements of the theatre and push creatively. The panic in the toilet and the handing in of the clothes rail for example, could have been better handled, though the party scene was a highlight!
But overall, the combination of all the theatrical parts made this a treat. The decision not to give us that ending though – sheer genius. Bold, creative, true to itself and well told. Welcome back theatre by the young uns, been too long…
