Single Review – AlunaGeorge – Turn Up The Love
Sometimes a simple, hopeful message is all you need to brighten your mood quicker than hearing that the next series of your favourite show is available on Netflix. And much like those, completely forgettable little tracks like 'All You Need Is Love', 'You've Got The Love' and 'What The World Needs Now Is Love' AlunaGeorge have turned to all things hearts and roses in order to bring a little more brightness to their new single 'Turn Up The Love.' A parallel to the slightly downbeat ballad 'Last Kiss', 'Turn Up The Love' see's AlunaGeorge try their hand at spreading a positive message with an optimistic lyric; 'I swear it's simple, turn up the love'. George Reid's sun-soaked production, of light electro-percussion and synth, mixed with Aluna Francis's unstoppable upbeat vocal create a track that though not necessarily an instant favourite has the kind of summery warmth to melt a few hearts.

Single Review – AlunaGeorge – My Blood
April 29, 2016 by Don't Look Down Leave a Comment
AlunaGeorge have unveiled the third single from their upcoming second studio album with 'My Blood' in collaboration with ZHU. In a move away from the Pop and smooth, ballad-style tracks that were their first two singles, to a darker, slightly rougher style of Trip Hop with jagged chords and undulating trap drops. The track still retains a slick progression and generally retains the duos clean edged production aesthetic despite the more hard edged sounds involved. Another tidy and well structured single from them.

Single Review – AlunaGeorge – I Remember
The Dance 'Trip-hop' duo of Aluna Francis and George Reid are to release their second studio album on April 29th with I Remember and now they've unveiled the title track from it. So far the duo have seemingly embraced more pop structures and themes around their Trip-hop sound of phasing, shuffling and minimalist dance music. This minimalism is more noticeable in what can be classed as a dance ballad of sorts. Aluna's whispy and light vocals are often left to carry the song with similarly light synth inputs. Larger and more audible inputs grace the chorus to generate a musical and melodic peak. The track is quite simple but that is the beauty of it in many ways; it still remains to be seen whether these greater pop influences will pay off for them, but you with AlunaGeorge that they'll be delivered in a stylish fashion.

Really Good Remixes – AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It (Bondax Remix)
This remix of London's TripHop duo AlunaGeorge's initial singles 'You Know You Like It' takes their smooth and effortless chilled dance track and effectively shuffles the deck. It speeds up Aluna Francis' vocals before making them stutter and repeat as if they were sounds originating from a synth. It maintains the chilled essence of the song, but gives it an added charge of electricity which was much appreciated by the duo who often find themselves remixing other artists tracks.

Single Review – AlunaGeorge – Supernatural
2013's Body Music was a very stable debut for London's AlunaGeorge. With it, they had combined the best of electronica, R&B, Pop and UK Garage resulting in a fair bit of commercial success with their debut album at number 11 and their highest charting single 'Attracting Flies' at number 17 on the singles chart. In spite of this, there was plenty of room for improvement throughout the album which at times became bogged down by a lack of diversity and an ambition from their singles, that did not stretch to their album tracks. Now they're set to release their follow up second LP in 2015 and have released a new single entitled 'Supernatural'. It's a track a lot more reminiscent of the late 80's and 90's dance scenes with a Acid House beat. This is offset by the chiming, modulated synths and the soft edged, naïve vocals with all it's pop-like harmony. A track with a little more rapidity and urgency then their previous efforts with a much more prominent core beat. Not a huge departure, but the sound still works.

Maldonado, Ike combine for 56 points in 75-67 win over Air Force

LARAMIE -- The leading scoring duo in the nation went to work on Saturday, as Hunter Maldonado and Graham Ike combined for 56 points in Wyoming's 75-67 win over Air Force in the Arena-Auditorium.
The Cowboys improve to 22-4 overall and 11-2 in the Mountain West and moved to 12-0 at home this season.
"We talked in practice this week about how the last couple of games we played against Air Force we kind of had some lulls between the eight-minute mark and the four-minute mark of the first half," UW head coach Jeff Linder said. "Tonight, Graham (Ike) got his second foul during that time, and Air Force did some things a little differently defensively against us to try and limit he dribble downs by Maldo. I thought we still got some good shots. In the second half, we did a better job of knocking down shots."
Maldonado led the Pokes in scoring with 29 points. He also added eight assists and seven rebounds and has eight or more assists in a game seven times this season. Ike recorded a double-double with 27 points and 12 rebounds for his 11th of the season. He went a perfect 11-of-11 from the field. It is the only time this season in the nation a player has went 11-of-11 from the field, the previous best was 10-of10.
Wyoming shot 51 percent from the field and shot 54 percent in the second frame. Wyoming held Air force to 44 percent from the field, but the Falcons shot 47 percent from behind the arc. Wyoming held a 32-28 advantage on the glass and finished the night scoring 42 points in the paint and 11 on second chances.
"We just need to start making some threes again," Linder said. "It's one thing when you are shooting contested threes, but we had some uncontested looks that more times than not our guys knock down. Thankfully, we don't have to rely on making threes to win games. When you go 22 for 26 from the foul line like we did today -- that's the difference in the game."
Both teams found early rhythm on the offensive end for an early 7-5 lead for the Pokes, as Ike, Maldonado and Drake Jeffries did the damage for the Brown and Gold in the opening three minutes. The Pokes would push it to 12-7 contest thanks to Ike and Maldonado with 14:58 left in the half.
Maldonado got to double-digits with a turnaround for a 20-13 Wyoming lead halfway through the half. He opened the contest 4-of-5 from the field. Xavier DuSell would knock down a corner three-pointer followed by a three from Maldonado for a 28-15 game at the 8:05 mark of the opening frame.
The Falcons would cut the lead to single digits with a triple from Ethan Taylor for a 30-21 game with 4:37 left in the first half. Air Force would then hold the Pokes scoreless for over five minutes to close the half making it a four-point contest at 30-26 at the break.
Ike and Maldonado helped the Pokes early in the second frame to build a seven-point lead at 36-29 in the opening two minutes of the frame. Nikc Jackson made it a four-point game with an and-one play for a 40-36 Wyoming lead with 13:50 left in the game.
DuSell would hit a pair of free throws and Maldonado added an acrobatic layup for a 44-36 lead for the Pokes with 13:22 left in the game. Air Force would cut the lead to lead to three points and then tied the game at 46-46 with a three-pointer from Lucas Moerman at the 10:50 mark of the half.
Maldonado and Ike helped the Pokes take a 50-46 lead, but Moerman added another three for a one-point contest with eight-minute remaining. Once again Ike and Maldonado help lead a charge with a layup from and an and-one off a steal from Maldonado for a 55-49 lead for the Pokes with just over seven minutes left.
Brendan Wenzel would pick up and offensive rebound and a put back and later added a pair of free throws from a 63-55 game with 3:32 left in the contest. Ike would make it a 12-point game at 67-55 with just over two minutes left.
The Falcons cut it to 10-points with under a minute remaining, but a slam by Jeffries pushed the lead back to 12 points. The Pokes would maintain the late advantage late despite some late shots by Air Force and took the contest 75-67.
The Falcons were led by Moerman with 15 points. Walker added 14 points but was held to 7-of-19 from the field.
Wyoming returns to action on Wednesday heading to Moby Arena to take on Border War rival Colorado State. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised on CBS Sports Network.

BELIEF TO ROAR: Brisbane confident of finals push this year
INSPIRED GROUP: (back) Owen Collins, Ben Wood, Brisbane Lions assistant coach Dale Tapping, Lion Mitch Robinson, Brisbane player Corey Lyons, Lions player Charlie Cameron, Trent Burchard, (front) Harry Hodgson, Harry Schneider, Max Harlacz, Zak Mercieca, Mason Gates and Will Zahn enjoy the Shalom College clinic on Monday.

AUSSIE RULES: It's the f word the Brisbane Lions have been afraid to talk about for the past few years.
But now Lions midfielder Mitch Robinson is asking if other young teams can make the finals, why can't they.
Robinson was one of five Lions players along with Charlie Cameron, Corey Lyons, Hugh McLuggage and Archie Smith who visited Bundaberg for clinics and school visits over the past two days.
He said it was good to visit the region that produced Brisbane Lions AFL women player Emma Zielke.
"It's been good to get up to Bundy," Robinson said.
"The kids are enthused and enjoying it.
"It is (nice to see), especially the female side of things. Participation is going through the roof."
The Lions have had similar feelings during what has been a tough preseason.
The side is buoyed by what could happen this season with plenty of experts outside of the club walls predicting the Lions could play finals.
Robinson played five finals for Carlton before moving to Brisbane and said the aim was to get as close as possible to finals.
"Everyone is genuinely excited this year," he said.
"That expectation from us to climb the ladder feels real and we are kind of enjoying that and want to push up the ladder.
"There is no ceiling to what we can do this year."
Robinson said if other young sides, such as the Western Bulldogs in 2016 and Collingwood last year, could make the grand final, there was no reason the Lions could not.
"I think it is more belief that if they can do it, we can do it too," he said.
"We're looking forward to (hopefully) improving this year."
The 168-game player said the way the Lions would do that was through one area.
"This year for us we just want to improve in a lot of aspects of the game," he said.
"And defence is one of our things.
"We want to lower that gap between our big losses."
The midfielder added he expected Lions rookie Ryan Bastinac to be one of the surprise packets this season after a strong preseason from the former North Melbourne player.
Robinson said he was looking forward to starting the season with a preseason match against Gold Coast before taking on Hawthorn and Richmond in the JLT Series.
The side begins its AFL campaign against the West Coast Eagles on March 23 at the Gabba.
There is more from the trip in tomorrow's paper with pictures from school visits.

HOME BOLLYWOOD NEWS & GOSSIPS
I have written a script on my cancer experience: Anurag Basu
Filmmaker and a cancer survivor Anurag Basu says that he never wanted to "juice up" his own "tragedy" and that's why he kept away from making a film on cancer. However, he is now ready with a script which he might release either in the form of a book or a film.
"Yes I will," Basu told IANS in an email interview when asked if he will make a film on cancer.
"Previously I have always shied away from making a film on cancer primarily because it would mean reliving the experience, and secondly I always felt guilty of juicing your own tragedy into a commercial film. This topic is very close to me and after every film I think about it. There is a script that I have written on my cancer and hospital bit, and may be one day it will come out either as a book or as a film," added Basu, 43.
In 2004, the famed director suffered from acute promyelocytic leukemia - a type of blood cancer -- and doctors gave him just two months to live. But like his films, he fought the cancer too like a winner.
And his priorities changed after watching death from such close quarters.
"Yes a little bit. My priorities changed and so did my movies and the stories that I wrote. I became a more responsible son, husband and father after my fight with cancer," said the filmmaker who is married to Tani Basu and has two daughters, Ishana and Ahana.
Someone who made films like "Murder", "Gangster", "Life in a... Metro" , "Kites", "Barfi" as well as "Jagga Jasoos" says that as a filmmaker, it is important to bring certain issues on the big screen in the form of films to create awareness.
"It's very important, but it's very difficult to make people aware with a dose of entertainment. People watch films for entertainment and one cannot preach to them. Those days are gone. I have tried doing it in 'Barfi' as well as in 'Jagga Jasoos'," he said.
Being a cancer survivor, Basu met 40 children from Tata Memorial Centre recently who are fighting cancer. The event also had the presence of Navyata Goenka - Advisor, Mount Litera School International.
Basu shared his inspiring stories with the children and students of the school and it was an emotional moment.
"It is always emotional. I often interact with kids at Tata Memorial and I see myself in them. The fight they are fighting right now reminds me of my old days. Their intention to spread happiness amongst the kids fighting cancer must surely be applauded.
"Navyata Goenka - the advisor of MLSI - understands the need of incorporating such activities which help in developing empathy amongst students and make them value what they have," he said.
Are there any life-lessons that he wants to give to all cancer patients?
"The first step to fight cancer is to be happy. I feel when it comes to fighting cancer, 50 per cent cure can be attributed to medication and another 50 per cent to will power.
"One should set small aims to overcome such a disease. For example, when I was admitted in Tata Memorial, I was unable to walk in my initial days of treatment. I set myself small goals of walking to a chair in the room and gradually increased that to walking across my room. These goals kept me going and built my confidence," he said.

World premiere by Noah Baerman Resonance Ensemble concludes 14th annual Wesleyan Jazz Orchesta Weekend on Saturday April 25
Wesleyan University's Music Department & Center for the Arts present the
Noah Baerman Resonance Ensemble
Saturday April 25 concert to feature world premiere of the extended work "The Rock and the Redemption"
as conclusion of the 14th annual Wesleyan Jazz Orchestra Weekend
Middletown, Conn.—Wesleyan University's Music Department and Center for the Arts present the world premiere of the extended work "The Rock and the Redemption" by the Noah Baerman Resonance Ensemble during the group's Connecticut debut on Saturday, April 25, 2015 at 8pm in Crowell Concert Hall, located at 50 Wyllys Avenue on the Wesleyan campus in Middletown. The concert will conclude the 14th annual Wesleyan Jazz Orchestra Weekend.
"Noah Baerman is no stranger to aiming high" —David Adler, Village Voice
Jazz pianist and composer Noah Baerman's tenacity and his cutting edge yet soulful music have made him an inspiring figure to a growing legion of admirers. Over ten years after nearly walking away from the piano due to his struggles with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, an incurable connective tissue disorder with which he was born, Mr. Baerman is playing and composing with more authority than ever. These and other challenges have deepened his already fierce commitment to "message music," a commitment that led to the 2012 founding of Resonant Motion, Inc., a non-profit that deals with the intersection of music and positive change. Mr. Baerman is the Artistic Director of Resonant Motion.
The Noah Baerman Resonance Ensemble is the flagship ensemble of Resonant Motion, and includes vibraphonist Chris Dingman '02, alto saxophonist/flutist Kris Allen, cellist/vocalist Melanie Hsu '13, bassist Henry Lugo, Private Lessons Teacher and drummer Bill Carbone MA '07, Ph.D. Candidate; and vocalists Latanya Farrell, Claire Randall '12, and Garth Taylor '12. Mr. Baerman will augment his piano work with turns on synthesizer and slide guitar.
The focal point of the concert will be the world premiere of "The Rock and the Redemption," an extended suite composed by Mr. Baerman. The music is inspired by a reinterpretation of the myth of Sisyphus, in which the tragic figure's plight of eternally pushing a rock up a mountain is seen as an inevitable and inspiring response to life's adversity. "As a physically disabled musician and a foster and adoptive parent, my adult life has been spent wholeheartedly pursuing things that seem far-fetched," explains Mr. Baerman. "Even though I keep failing to get the rock all the way to the top of the mountain, so to speak, I accomplish far more getting part of the way up than if I compromised my goals." This piece integrates several traditional spirituals amidst the instrumental portions of the composition, and the talented, soulful ensemble features a mixture of longtime colleagues and former students.
Past artists featured as a part of the annual Wesleyan Jazz Orchestra Weekend have included the Oliver Lake Big Band including Josh Evans; Mixashawn's "Ghostly Trio" featuring Pheeroan Aklaff and Bill Arnold; Hugh Masekela; the Jay Hoggard Quartet with special guests Anthony Braxton, Marty Ehrlich, Kwaku Kwaakye Martin Obeng, and Brandee Younger; Sherrie Maricle and the DIVA Jazz Orchestra; the Bennie Maupin trio with Buster Williams; Dr. Lonnie Smith with Jonathan Kreisberg; Cedar Walton; Tina Fabrique; the Boston Jazz Repertory Orchestra directed by Bill Lowe and Carl Atkins; the Phil Woods/Ted Rosenthal duo; and Bobby Hutcherson.
The Saturday evening concert will open with a brief performance of some of Mr. Baerman's material by the Wesleyan Jazz Ensemble, which he has directed since 2007, and the Wesleyan Jazz Orchestra, which he is conducting this semester as a Visiting Instructor.
Admission for the performance by the Noah Baerman Resonance Ensemble is $15 for the general public; $12 for senior citizens, Wesleyan faculty/staff/alumni, and non-Wesleyan students; and $6 for Wesleyan students. Tickets are available online at http://www.wesleyan.edu/boxoffice, by phone at (860) 685-3355, or in person at the Wesleyan University Box Office, located in the Usdan University Center, 45 Wyllys Avenue, Middletown. Tickets may also be purchased at the door beginning one hour prior to the performance, subject to availability. The Center for the Arts accepts cash, checks written to "Wesleyan University", and all major credit cards. Groups of ten or more may receive a discount – please call (860) 685-3355 for details. No refunds, cancellations, or exchanges.
The 14th annual Wesleyan Jazz Orchestra Weekend also includes the following two free events:
Music Department Colloquium by Noah Baerman on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at 4:15pm in the Daltry Room, Music Rehearsal Hall Room 003, 60 Wyllys Avenue, Middletown. At this free talk, Noah Baerman will discuss the philosophical origins and musical development of his suite "The Rock and the Redemption."
Wesleyan Jazz Orchesta and Jazz Ensemble Concert on Friday, April 24, 2015 at 7pm in Crowell Concert Hall, 50 Wyllys Avenue, Middletown. A free concert featuring a program of exciting jazz repertoire by Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, and others.
About Noah Baerman
"A classic jazz profile in courage" – Owen McNally, The Hartford Courant
Noah Baerman earned his B.Mus. and M.M. from Rutgers University in the 1990s under the mentorship of Kenny Barron. Since then, he has participated in and composed for numerous recordings, including nine albums as a bandleader. His 2003 release "Patch Kit" features jazz legends Ron Carter and Ben Riley, and revolves around his struggles with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. "Patch Kit" raised awareness and funds for the disorder, and led to an invitation from Marian McPartland to be a guest on her long-running NPR program "Piano Jazz" in 2005. Two compositions premiered on that show then appeared on his album "Soul Force," a tribute to the life and message of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Soul Force" featured Mr. Baerman's writing for large ensemble, with soloists including trombonist Robin Eubanks, percussionist Warren Smith, and saxophonist Steve Wilson. In 2008, Mr. Baerman was awarded a "New Works" grant from Chamber Music America/Doris Duke Foundation. The resulting "Know Thyself," a 65 minute suite for septet, was premiered at Wesleyan University's Center for the Arts and at the Jazz Gallery in New York, and was recorded for a 2010 release. His most recent release is "Ripples" (2014), a sweeping mission statement for Mr. Baerman. The powerful music addresses causes ranging from teenagers in foster care in need of homes, to disability and illness, as well as more global themes of persistence, courage, and non-violence. "Ripples" has received accolades from DownBeat, Jazziz, Hot House, Goldmine and the Village Voice, among other publications. Some tracks feature his longtime trio augmented by a five-piece chamber ensemble. Others feature the Jazz Samaritan Alliance, a group Mr. Baerman co-founded in 2012 with saxophonists Jimmy Greene and Kris Allen, vibraphonist Chris Dingman '02, and drummer Johnathan Blake. This group is a collective of accomplished artists working to compose and perform socially-conscious music.
Mr. Baerman lives in Middletown, Connecticut with his wife, visual artist Kate Ten Eyck (Visiting Assistant Professor of Art, and Art Studio Technician at Wesleyan University), and he has gained a strong reputation as an educator. He directs the Jazz Ensemble at Wesleyan University, and has taught music courses through their Graduate Liberal Studies program since 2002. His teaching concepts have been codified through ten well-regarded instructional books published by the Alfred Publishing Company. His blog, "NB Pontificates," covers topics ranging from philosophical explorations of love and non-violence, and frank discussions of his experiences as a survivor of disability and childhood trauma, to his popular musical "Top 10" lists, and his own vegetarian recipes. As Artistic Director of the non-profit Resonant Motion, Inc., Mr. Baerman is overseeing a range of projects that educate, empower, and inspire others.

Jayden Pitt plans to reach out to his former Fremantle teammate Dylan Roberton in the wake of his latest "devastating" heart issue.
Roberton was last week ruled out for the season due to an ongoing heart condition after feeling "wonky" during St Kilda's JLT Community Series clash against the Western Bulldogs.
It's the second year in a row the 27-year-old has had his season cut short due to the heart problem after a scary on-field collapse against Geelong in round four.
Pitt also had heart troubles during his time in the AFL, forcing him to retire in 2013 at 20 years old after just 10 senior appearances.
The former No.20 draft pick was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a condition that can ultimately lead to heart failure.
"I spoke with Dyl last year when that initial moment happened but since he found out the latest news really recently, I haven't spoken to him at all," Pitt said.
"I know the situation he would be in where he's going to get bombarded with quite a few people trying to get in contact with him, so I'm waiting for everything just to settle and I'll definitely get in touch with him.
"It's pretty devastating news but I guess there's a bit of hope that he can still continue playing.
"Mine was a bit different because I didn't have any symptoms at all.
"Mine was initially picked up from pre-season scans and I don't know if Dylan's were picked up.
Despite not being able to play football again, Pitt is still heavily involved in the sport.
The now 25-year-old coached Geelong Football League club Leopold for three seasons before joining his former TAC Cup club Geelong Falcons as an assistant coach, helping the next crop of AFL hopefuls get drafted.
Pitt, who is in his second year as a primary school teacher, dealt with his career-ending news with a mature perspective.
"Every time I watch a game of footy or I'm coaching a game of footy, it brings back memories, but I'm at the same now where it's not bothering me too much," Pitt said.
"The way that I describe it to anyone is if you think of these guys like (knee victims) Daniel Menzel and Alex Johnson, they've had to deal with setbacks all the time.
"For me, I only got told once so I only had to get over it once.
Pitt is still close friends with several of his ex-Dockers teammates including Roberton and current captain Nat Fyfe, who were both drafted a year before him.
He watches his former club whenever they play in Geelong.

Couples to Sign Contracts before SEX to avoid Rape.
AN independent female MP is calling for couples to sign contracts before having sex, to avoid false allegations of sexual assault being made.
Independant South Australia MP Ann Bressington today confirmed she was serious when she said couples should sign a contract before sex to combat false rape allegations, if proposed laws are passed.
The independent MP yesterday told Parliament the planned new laws, which make it an offence to continue a sex act with a person after consent if they changed their mind, would make it easier for men to be accused of rape.
She also claimed "one-night stands" and casual relationships would become a "high-risk activity".
"Perhaps this parliament could devise a contract which men could carry around in their pocket, next to their condoms," she said during a speech to Parliament.
"There could be a waiver should a man meet up with a woman who has had a couple of drinks before they engage in sexual intercourse.
"The contract may contain the name and address of the women, with her driver's licence number, so that the man can see the signatures match, clauses that state that the woman has or has not been drinking or taking drugs licit or illicit and that she consents to foreplay."
Does this help or hinder.
The proposed contract would also include details of the woman's marital status, whether she has children and whether she consents to being taken to another location to engage in sexual activity.
Is this realistic or ridiculous? Tell me by commenting on either one or the other.. Ms Bressington confirmed she thought men should carry sex contracts if the current Bill passed both houses of Parliament.
"(The Bill) opens the door to more false allegations that are already occurring. Men will have no defence from women falsely crying "Rape".
"This Bill makes men guilty until proven innocent and they will have no defence."
When quizzed further about the contract idea, she said she was serious because it would prevent men being falsely accused.
Fellow independent MP Kris Hanna, who has been pushing for new consent laws for years, said the Bill's intention was to prevent men being able to claim consent was given in ridiculous situations - such as when a women was unconscious or blind drunk.
"We are trying to encourage reasonable conduct," Mr Hanna said juries "usually come up with a commonsense result" in the types of cases Ms Bressington was referring to.
The same controversial Bill led Independent MP Bob Such to claim T-shirts emblazoned with provocative slogans encouraged sexual assaults when it was debated in the Lower House earlier this year.
Ms Bressington said the planned laws "make men guilty until proven innocent" and suggested the low conviction rate in rape cases was because of inadequate investigative practices rather than poor laws.
She said government was invading "our bedrooms or even the back seat of our cars".
Yarrow Place Rape and Sexual Assault Service director Vanessa Swan said the laws brought SA in to line with other Australian states.
"I think it is a really positive development and will improve the situation for victims of sexual assault," she said.
This could be the best place to tell this tale.
The Thingie
There was a man who really took care of his body.
He lifted weights and jogged six miles a day.
One day, he looked in the mirror and noticed he was tan all over
his "thingie."
So he decided to do something about it.
He went to the beach, completely undressed and buried himself in the
sand, except for his thingie; which he left sticking out.
Two old ladies were walking on the beach, one using a cane.
Upon seeing the "thingie" sticking up in the sand, she began to move
around with her cane.
Remarking to the other lady, "There is no justice in the world."
The other lady asked what she meant.
She said, "when I was 20, I was curious about it."
When I was 30, I enjoyed it.
When I was 40, I asked for it.
When I was 50, I paid for it.
When I was 60, I prayed for it.
When I was 70, I forgot about it.
Now that I'm 80, the damn things are growing wild on the beach and I'm
too old to squat !

I am now in a long term relationship based on trust . Does this mean I must now sign a Stat/Dec and have it notorised to cover my ass. Maybe it could test the relationship?
I suggest the ladies carry a swipe-box. This can be accessed by the male who carries a card with his details, when swiped the card gives his details to the lady and he receives a printout of her details. The issue of a swipe box and a card can only take place after an official questionaire is completed at a specified government dept. Mike.

I was only asked for my HIV Test clearance

THE LAST ONE IS THE BEST
Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous..... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:
1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."
8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!
10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"
12. "Now I know why I am not gay."
And the best one of all..
13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is ! not up there?"

Lake County Board Chairman Lawlor gets dirty for new cable TV program

People long have said politics is a dirty job.
Lake County Board Chairman Aaron Lawlor knows that better than most.
Lawlor donned a water-resistant jumpsuit, a safety helmet and thigh-high boots Monday to help clean solid waste out of a basin at a water treatment plant in Vernon Hills. The work will be televised as part of a new program that goes behind the scenes of some of Lake County government's dirtiest jobs.
"A lot of people don't know what county government does," Lawlor said before his descent into the stinky pit. "By coming out and getting my hands dirty, I think we're showing them what Lake County does in a very interesting way."
The Vernon Hills Republican's adventures in filth are inspired by the Discovery Channel TV show "Dirty Jobs," which is hosted by Mike Rowe.
Each job will be filmed by the county communications department, and they'll air on the county's local cable network, LCTV, and online.
Monday's visit to the New Century Town Water Reclamation Facility was Lawlor's second dirty job. In the first, he helped clear a clogged sewer pump.
That episode debuted on YouTube Monday morning.
At the treatment plant, Lawlor spent about 10 minutes with public works department workers in the 700,000-gallon aeration basin, which was drained of water for the task.
The dark-brown muck consisted of human waste, rags, wrappers and other debris flushed down toilets in the Vernon Hills and Mundelein areas.
"You get money, you get all kinds of stuff," plant supervisor Michael K. Grinnell said.
The accumulated solid waste must be removed from the tanks every three years to keep the equipment working properly, Public Works Director Peter Kolb said.
Lawlor used a rake-sized squeegee to scrape the gunk from the bottom of the pit and push it to a vacuum that sucked it over to a tank on a nearby truck.
It didn't take long for Lawlor to get the grime on his boots and protective clothing.
"Anyone want a hug?" he joked. There were no takers.
The waste will be dried and then dumped in a landfill, officials said.
Although the muck was pungent, Lawlor said it didn't smell as bad as he anticipated.
Still, it wasn't a pleasant experience.
"You're slogging around ... in things that people flush down their toilets," he said.
With two jobs under his belt, Lawlor said he'd like to expand the program to include tasks that are difficult but not necessarily dirty. Visits to the county jail and the coroner's office are on his wish list. A ride-along with police officers could make for a good show, too, he said.

Pretty independent really. Though i know that term is highly overused just to look more intelligent. Guess I can't really label my views, so I'll just say I have mixed opinions. I'm a sort of utilitarian, humanist, and altruistic kinda dude. Pretty clean too. No smoking. No drinking. No tats. Though may try weed if it's ever legalized and I fight for rights of opinions of even those I don't like.

On Monday, August 1, the Arts Council of Tamworth welcomed Carly Goss as its new executive director. Carly follows Juno Lamb who steadily guided the organization for over eight years and whose herculean efforts brought many rich experiences to the community, including the recent creation of the mosaic outside the K. A. Brett school.
Carly brings her own breadth of talent to the position. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Carly is a lifelong weaver of fabric and people. She spent four years as President of Charm City Mafia in Baltimore where she "connected makers with unexpected partners, audiences, and venues." More recently, she has co-created a Sacred Harp singing group in Jackson and Berlin, NH and manages her own hand-weaving business, Carlybird Weaves. She and her partner reside in Bartlett.
The Arts Council of Tamworth will celebrate its 50th year this season. While its focus has shifted over the decades, its core belief in the value of art in all its forms has never gone away.
The celebration starts this fall with South African sensation Tuelo and Her Cousins live at The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth on Friday, October 21 at 7:30pm. Tickets will continue to be the Arts Tamworth mainstay of Choose Your Own Ticket Price.


This article is dedicated to ordinary Syrians, whose capacity for hospitality is legendary, including those who went right out of their way for an injured Australian as he lay in pain on the cobblestones of ancient Damascus, and who are now experiencing such desperately hard times. I haven't forgotten you.
Somewhat unexpectedly, I visited Syria in early 2009 and 2011. On both occasions my visits were adjacent to stints on a Jordanian volunteer project. Having travelled all that way, it made sense to visit another nearby country while I was in the region. Back then, despite documented internal human rights abuses, Syria was easy on the wallet and to travel around, with bus services traversing the length and breadth of the country. Like other totalitarian countries, it was also, oddly, quite safe for visitors – in a slightly disconcerting "You DO know there are spies down in the souq keeping an eye on things, don't you?" kind of way.
thousands of years of empires, battles and conquest, armies and agendas overrun Syria again, mocking my glowing Crikey endorsement of this country.
unrest in neighbouring countries. By the time I departed for Amman and my flight back to Australia, protests were already occurring throughout Syria, unreported by the local media and out of sight and out of mind to other Syrians, let alone the rest of the world. Then significant demonstrations occurred on 15 March and rapidly escalated.
Four and a half bloody years later, Syria is being torn to bits. Like others who, like me, have had the privilege of standing in awe, gobsmacked, before this country's amazing historical and cultural heritage and experiencing the innate hospitality of the people of this region, I have, in the interim, simply looked on and wept.
At the time of writing this article, the Syrian Government is in control of the west, including Damascus, with substantial pockets within government lines held by the rebels, and Kurds holding most of the area bordering with Turkey. IS-controlled territory includes the region of Palmyra and the ruins of its ancient Semitic city, with its ruined columns glowing in the pinky-gold desert light. In 269 AD when Queen Zenobia of Palmyra staged a classy rebellion against the Roman Empire, it was the nexus of the Palmyrene empire and a thriving trade base for Silk Road traders criss-crossing the desert with their loads of silks, spices and luxury goods.
Watch News Corp Australia from now on and the way its newspapers report on Syria and the possible expansion of Western military engagement with IS. If they start beating the drums of war in earnest, THEY should be asked a few questions.
Such as: for all IS' undeniable barbarity, why your jingoistic exhortations for a Syrian intervention NOW, after decades of being mute about the documented human rights abuses of the Assad regime? What agendas are at work here? For example, does your Ultimate Boss have financial interests in that part of the world? Well can you please disclose this in your articles? This would save citizen journalists like me the bother of having to google this ourselves.
After suffering the human rights abuses of recent decades and the unconscionable humanitarian disaster of recent times, the spectacularly hospitable and generous Syrians, who are now flooding the Near East, the Mediterranean and EU member states in their desperate millions, deserve no less.
And what's the possible end plan for this amazing country? To be ultimately partitioned and carved up, piecemeal? And in whose interests and to whose benefit?

Depression and substance abuse common among LGBTQ elders
Victoria A. Brownworth
The second in a three-part series
"I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to open a bottle of scotch in the middle of the day and start drinking, but I know I won't stop." Julie West, 75, retired three years ago after a 50-year career in social work. "I worked 12 to 15 hour days for decades," she explained. "I never had enough time. Now time is all I have. It's a little daunting."
West, who lives alone in South Philadelphia "with several cats, like a classic lesbian stereotype," said she finds drinking calms her and that it's not surprising that seniors hang out in bars.
"When we were young, we went to bars to meet people," she said. "It's the same now that we're old. Why are these older people in bars all the time? They have friends; they feel important; they feel in control; they feel a modicum of what they felt when they were working — daily community."
For many LGBTQ elders, retirement is not what they expected. According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), SAGE and other organizations addressing LGBTQ elders, depression and anxiety are increasingly common, as are substance abuse and even thoughts of suicide. Coping with the radical change in their lives is, as West suggests, difficult. But coping mechanisms like alcohol, drugs and casual sex can be even more harmful for older people who may have health problems that can be exacerbated by risky behaviors.
Roberta Hacker was executive director of Women in Transition for 30 years and now works as a consultant on women's and LGBTQ issues for various agencies in Philadelphia and the suburbs. In her work in mental health and substance abuse, Hacker said she has seen many LGBT elders coping via alcohol and drugs.
"Loneliness and despair can prompt seniors to pick up the bottle," she said. "It may start as a couple of beers, a glass of wine, maybe some medical marijuana. These all provide a short term respite from the underlying problem."
But, Hacker explained, "what happens is that it is a desirable place to be — buzzed or in a contented fog — and so they use it more and more."
Hacker said once that behavior becomes repetitive, substance abuse and addiction entrench, and it becomes hard to extricate. Family and friends may try to intervene, but intervention may be resisted.
"Knowing they are abusing alcohol or drugs just doesn't phase LGBTQ people in the midst of a substance abuse problem or even crisis," she says. "Their families can intervene, but it won't matter. They feel they have nothing else to live for and that substance, whatever their chosen drug is, helps ease that pain. Finding something to supplant that is the crux of the matter — and that is different for elders than it is for younger people."
Even if they recognize they need help, Hacker points out that LGBTQ elders may delay or be reluctant to seek medical care due to bias, discrimination, stigmatization or experiences of having been refused medical treatment. She noted that the cost of care might also be an issue for LGBTQ elders who are more likely than their heterosexual and cisgender peers to experience poverty.
SAGE, the nation's largest social service and advocacy group for LGBT elders, offers one study suggesting that LGBT elders may be as much as five times less likely to access needed healthcare and social services. One study found that 75 percent of LGBT seniors interviewed reported not being open about their sexual orientation to healthcare workers.
LGBT baby boomers, the largest population of people 55 to 75, reported concern about discrimination as they age, with less than half saying they had confidence that healthcare professionals will treat them with dignity and respect, according to the study "Out and Aging: The MetLife Study of Lesbian and Gay Baby Boomers." Fears of discriminatory treatment by healthcare professionals are particularly strong among lesbians, 12 percent of whom said they have no confidence that they would be treated respectfully.
In her practice as a therapist and clinical social worker, Dr. Jennie Goldenberg specializes in trauma. Outside her office door, a sign declares that it is a safe space for LGBTQ clients. "I want everyone to know, without having to ask, that they are welcome and can disclose their sexual orientation and gender identity in this space," she said.
Goldenberg is acutely aware that such disclosure might not be easy and that LGBTQ people have issues with healthcare professionals that must be overcome. But, she explained, for LGBTQ elders, reaching out for therapy can be essential to survival.
"Social isolation is a major factor of depression in older adults," she said. "LGBTQ elders have often experienced years of rejection from family members, friends and community — including faith communities. This has caused a pervasive sense of isolation."
Reaching out is not easy, Goldenberg said. "LGBTQ elders don't trust mental health professionals to have the cultural competence necessary to understand, nor the ability to empathize with their minority status within the larger culture."
She added that LGBTQ elders "have experienced the cumulative effect of years of daily microaggressions. Lifetime experiences of discrimination and victimization based on sexual orientation have caused stigma, shame and the internalization of negative societal views of their sexual orientation and gender identity."
Max Bernstein turns 79 in 2020 "like Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden," he joked. "I could run for president." Bernstein said he "never expected to be old. To be honest, I expected to die in the 1980s, like a lot of my friends. AIDS was taking everyone then."
A handsome man who swims daily and works out at a local gym near his apartment in the Gayborhood, Bernstein, who looks significantly younger than he is, said he "revisited that past" in recent years. "I retired a couple years ago and almost immediately started acting out. I got into being a leather daddy. I was in the bars nearly every night. I have no idea what was going on. It was like someone told me that I didn't have much time left, so I should do whatever I wanted, f–k the consequences."
Bernstein said he was fortunate he "woke up, got tested and bought a thousand condoms" one morning after a "particularly risky night."
"I'm embarrassed to say I was having unprotected sex like it was 40 years ago, and I'd never heard of AIDS," he says. "I'm lucky for the second time that I didn't get HIV. I want to tell other men my age to take the condoms along with that blue pill."
According to the CDC, cases of STIs in adults over the age of 50 have increased significantly. Additionally, older adults may be embarrassed to ask a doctor to be tested for STIs and are less likely to be diagnosed with an STI in its early stages. Many STIs do not have symptoms, so many older adults also do not realize they are infected until serious and possibly permanent damage has occurred, which is commonly the case with HIV/AIDS in older adults. Doctors may also misdiagnose early symptoms of HIV infection — fatigue, weakness and memory changes — as signs of aging or another disease related to aging.
Hacker said the LGBTQ community needs to step up for their elders and make more space for both their concerns and them as people. "While our LGBTQ youth have the highest rates of suicidal ideation," she explained, "the highest rates of completed suicide are among people 65 and older. Why aren't we prioritizing that reality in our community? Where is the Trevor Project for LGBTQ elders?"
Hacker said, "We are so deeply youth-focused as a community, we basically ignore our elders, but there are literally thousands of LGBTQ seniors right here in Philadelphia who need just as much help as our youth. We need to do more. Much more."

If you are thinking it might be your time to quit, we'd like to help.
Did you know that 7 out of 10 cigarette smokers want to quit smoking? Ask yourself, if you were to quit smoking today, in what ways would your life be better?
Many people say that cigarettes help them deal with stress and are good for when they are bored. For many smokers though, the smell of stale tobacco on your clothes, the cost, the hassle of finding a place to smoke and of course, wondering whether you'll get cancer because of your smoking, can often persuade smokers that it's time for a change.
Did you know that research, published in the journal of Tobacco Control, has shown that combining nicotine replacement therapy and counseling is more effective in helping smokers quit than just using nicotine replacement therapy alone? Smokers who used nicotine replacement therapy and received telephone counseling were three times more likely to successfully quit smoking and stay quit at a 6-month follow-up.
The Freedom Quitline is grant funded by the National Institutes of Health, in cooperation with the University of Virginia and the Department of Defense. The Freedom Quitline offers free care to all TRICARE beneficiaries. It provides free nicotine replacement treatment mailed directly to your home, plus personalized telephone counseling to maximize your chances of success.
Imagine a tobacco free life. If you or someone you know is interested in quitting cigarette smoking, call the Freedom Quitline at 1-844-I-AM-FREE (1-844-426-3733).

Did you know that oatmeal has been cultivated for over 2000 years and was used for medicinal purposes before consumed as food? Any food that has stood that test of time can't be too shabby for you!
Oatmeal retains its bran and germ resulting in a higher level of fiber and nutrients. Oatmeal is a great source of manganese, molybdenum, and phosphorus as well as a good source of copper, biotin, vitamin B1, magnesium, dietary fiber, chromium, zinc, and protein. Including oatmeal in your diet can lower your cholesterol thereby helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Oatmeal also helps to stabilize blood sugar which could be beneficial for those with diabetes.
You can eat this recipe two ways. When it's cold out, a hot bowl of piping oatmeal is just what I need to get my day started so after mixing the ingredients overnight, I cook it on the stove in the morning. And when the weather warms up, I prefer making this recipe by mixing the ingredients overnight and eating it raw and cold the next morning.
Either way, this vegan recipe is super quick to prep the night before, leaving you with a balanced breakfast in the morning in minutes.

Norwegian bishop admits child sex abuse
Georg Mueller was bishop of Trondheim from 1997 to 2009
Mueller says he abused an altar boy while a priest in the city 20 years ago
Allegations of sexual abuse by Catholic priests have spread across Europe
Pope said last month he was "truly sorry" for abuse suffered by victims in Ireland
(CNN) -- A former Catholic bishop in Norway has admitted sexually abusing a minor 20 years ago, a spokesman for the Norwegian Catholic Church said Wednesday.
Bishop Georg Mueller admitted to having sexually abused an altar boy but said there were no other victims, said church spokesman Andreas Dingstad.
Mueller, 58, became a priest in 1978 and served as bishop of Trondheim, Norway, from 1997 to 2009. The abuse is said to have happened more than 20 years ago, when Mueller was a priest in Trondheim, Dingstad said.
Allegations of sexual abuse by Catholic priests have spread across Europe, surfacing in countries including the Netherlands, France, Mexico, Italy, Ireland, the United States, Austria and Germany, home country of Pope Benedict XVI.

Church Abuse Scandals
Some have been critical of Catholic leaders including the pope, saying little action had been taken when he was a top Vatican official.
Waves of victims have come forward, claiming they were victims of abuse by religious leaders and saying the church did little or nothing to stop it.
In a rare move, a senior cardinal spoke Sunday before the pope's Easter Mass at the Vatican, saying the pontiff maintains the support of Catholics around the world "who do not let themselves be influenced by the gossip."
Cardinal Angelo Sodano, former Vatican secretary of state and dean of the College of Cardinals, did not specifically mention the sexual abuse scandal, but his remarks clearly referred to criticism leveled at church leaders.
The pope did not address the scandal in his Easter message. In a letter last month, he said he was "truly sorry" for the abuse suffered by victims at the hands of Catholic priests in Ireland.
