The battle of guys the Seahawks didn’t want has gone to the guy the Browns didn’t want a year ago.
Raiders choose Wallace over Thigpen
If there was a perfectly Bill Belichick pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, it was when he used a fifth-rounder on Navy long snapper Joe Cardona.
Now, they just have to see when he’s able to join them.
Picking a specialist with ties to his father’s old school (who also plays lacrosse) checks off a lot of Belichick boxes, but Cardona said he’s not sure when he’ll be cleared to join the team because of the service commitment that comes with his degree.
“The decision is out of my hands,” Cardona said, via Adam Kurkjian of the Boston Herald. “Right now I’m prepared to be the best football player I can be for the New England Patriots and the best naval officer I can be. Whatever duty I’m doing at the time, I’m doing it. I’m just prepared to do my best.”
Cardona’s the first Navy graduate to be drafted since the Packers took Bob Kuberski in the seventh round of the 1993 draft. Two others, tight end Kevin Hickman (Detroit Lions, sixth round, 1995) and offensive lineman Mike Wahle (Packers, second round of supplemental draft, 1998) did not graduate from the Academy.
Kuberski served two years in the Navy before joining the Packers. The Patriots also signed former Navy running back Eric Kettani as an undrafted rookie in 2009. He made their practice squad in 2011, but was recalled by the Navy, before bouncing through stops in Washington, Kansas City and Jacksonville.
Of course, Roger Staubach served a five-year commitment after being chosen by the Cowboys in the 1964 draft, eventually joining the team in 1969.
The Seahawks “expect” to have linebacker Bruce Irvin on the team for a long time, but they won’t be ensuring a fifth year at this point via the exercise of the automatic option that would extend his rookie deal. And while coach Pete Carroll said over the weekend that he met with Irvin to explain the situation and it “went very well,” it didn’t go as well last night on Twitter.
He also declared, “I am a Seahawk!” And he expressed a desire to prove his worth.
“Worked for everything I got in my life this sh-t will b no different!” Irvin said. “I earns my keeps!”
Irvin later apologized, sort of.
“I’m a very blunt person and that won’t ever change sorry if u dislike it,” he said.
Players prefer (or at least should prefer) not to have their fifth-year option exercised, since it means they’ll have a shot at free agency a year sooner — and a chance to gauge their value on the open market. The Seahawks apparently believe that, come 2016, Irvin won’t be worth the $7.8 million he was due to earn under the option.
On the other hand, the decision not to pick up a player’s option represents a commentary on the player’s perceived worth, which will tend to create some ruffled feathers in the short term.
The Seahawks have not formally announced that Irvin’s option won’t be exercised. Based on Irvin’s tweets following his meeting with Carroll, it apparently hasn’t been.
When someone on Twitter referred to Panthers receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess as the Twin Towers, Cowboys defensive end and former Panther Greg Hardy angered some people when he responded by saying “didn’t the twin towers get blown up lol.”
Hardy apologized the next day for mentioning “an event where no reference 2humor is ever ok” and Cowboys coach Jason Garrett also weighed in over the weekend when asked about Hardy’s comment. Garrett said that social media use is something that the team talks to players about and that they try to illustrate how to use it the right way.
“We try to emphasize that to our guys. ‘Distinguish yourself with your play, not with what you say,’ is something we talk about all the time,” Garrett said, via ESPN.com. “That’s just another medium that we have to address. Some guys just need reinforcement one way or the other when they reach out and do some of those things. It’s all a learning process. None of us are perfect so we’re just trying to address it as these things come up. I think in general we have a policy of just use good restraint when you’re involved in all that kind of stuff. Think about the implication of your words.”
The Cowboys took cornerback Byron Jones with their first round pick last Thursday, a move that came after several weeks of speculation about whether the team would try to get veteran corner Brandon Carr to take a pay cut from his scheduled $8 million salary.
Carr’s agent has said that his client won’t take a pay cut to remain in Dallas, but the cornerback himself was less forthcoming over the weekend. Carr said that his contract falls into the category of things he won’t discuss in public, adding that he is looking forward to working with Jones and that he doesn’t relate the rookie’s arrival to his contract situation.
“I say we’ve got a young guy, drafted a guy, a defensive back and they thought highly of him,” Carr said, via the Dallas Morning News. “I’m looking forward to having him in the room with us and grooming him to get ready to play. I’m still here. I’m here until told otherwise. That’s my philosophy. At the end of the day, if I’m playing football then I’m going to give my all for whoever I’m playing for.”
Ultimately, any decision about a pay cut is going to come down to whether Carr and his camp believe that they can sign elsewhere for more money than the Cowboys are offering him for the coming season. At this point in the offseason, there aren’t a lot of teams looking to splash cash on veteran free agents and that may wind up playing into Dallas’s hands if things come to a head in the coming days or weeks.
New Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker was relieved that the Browns decided to pass on him at No. 12.
Or at least his mother was.
“We didn’t want him going to Cleveland,” Raneca Parker told Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald, after the Dolphins took him with the 14th pick. “They don’t have a team, really, or a quarterback. I knew I didn’t want the Cleveland Browns.
“I know the teams the teams he could go to and the teams he couldn’t go to. We were happy with the Miami Dolphins. He was very ecstatic. We’re happy, we love the weather.”
As much as that might sting, the Browns replied, albeit indirectly, that they didn’t like Parker either.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns passed on him because “they felt he wasn’t tough enough and didn’t love the game enough.”
At least DeVante knows his mother loves him and — since he’s a receiver who might need a quarterback some day — has his best interests at heart.
The Raiders took a late dip into free agency to sign Michael Crabtree and then they added Amari Cooper with the fourth overall pick of the draft, a pair of moves that appear to have convinced the team to move on from James Jones.
Jones told Fallon Smith of CSN Bay Area that Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie informed him that the Raiders were going to release him after one year with the team.
That one year was the first year of a three-year deal and Jones caught 73 passes for 666 yards and six touchdowns during his season in Oakland. That paltry average yards per catch speaks to Jones’s difficulty creating separation from opposing defenses last season and the two new arrivals plus the expected return of Rod Streater didn’t promise much playing time in 2015.
Jones was due to make $3.4 million in 2015 and his departure leaves no dead money on the cap. He’s the latest 2014 acquisition to leave the team after one season, joining Antonio Smith, Tarell Brown, Carlos Rogers, Maurice Jones-Drew, Matt Schaub and LaMarr Woodley as short-term members of the organization.
And in doing so, they eliminated another potential distraction.
According to Peter King of Sports Illustrated, the contract contains a clause prohibiting Winston from playing professional baseball during the length of the deal.
While that should be an easy call, Winston created some concern in Bucs officials by expressing his desire to at least consider playing baseball at some point, saying “It has always been my dream, but I’m just playing football right now.”
That could easily be read as a lack of focus, and it was a concern to Bucs officials. They texted Winston and spoke to him after the comments became public, telling him that wasn’t OK with them if they were making him the top pick in the draft. Winston told them he understood, but was just speaking honestly and loved baseball.
But as with so many other things, the Buccaneers worked to eliminate distractions, so their No. 1 overall pick can do what he does best.
Heading into his senior season at Oregon, cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu was viewed as a likely first-round draft pick. But Ekpre-Olomu suffered a torn ACL in December, and his draft stock plummeted.
The Browns selected Ekpre-Olomu in the seventh round, and they think they got a steal. General Manager Ray Farmer said the Browns’ medical staff believes Ekpre-Olomu’s injury, while severe, is one that he can fully recover from.
“We felt like we were getting the right kind of guy that we knew had talent,” Farmer said. “He suffered an unfortunate injury. We are confident he will get healthy.”
The Browns will take it slow with Ekpre-Olomu, and it’s possible that he won’t play at all as a rookie. But if things go well, the Browns may add a first-round talent to their defense in 2016, at the minor cost of a seventh-round pick in 2015.
Colts owner Jim Irsay recently said that it’s not “Super Bowl or bust” for coach Chuck Pagano.
More recent remarks from Irsay suggest that it eventually will be, for Pagano and everyone else.
He’d also like to win two titles consecutively.
“When you look at that, we look at how do we build this roster over the next three years to really be able to go on a run where you can win two Super Bowls in a row, when you can really be dominant,” Irsay said. “Again, that’s working on all phases of the ball.”
It’s hard enough to win one Super Bowl; it’s significantly harder to win two in a row. But it’s no surprise that Irsay is reminding his employees of the high bar that has been set for the franchise. Irsay declared in 2013 that, in parting ways with Peyton Manning, Irsay chose championships over stats.
At some point the championships need to show up. If they don’t, pretty much everyone on the payroll but Andrew Luck will be at risk.
Here’s an item that was largely overlooked in the aftermath of the 2015 NFL draft — the player selected with the 75th pick in the 2012 NFL draft is no closer to a new deal.
As it relates to the formal exchange of offers and counteroffers, it won’t be going anywhere until Wilson’s camp responds to whatever Seattle most recently put on the table. Carroll specifically said that the team is “waiting to hear from their side.”
Condotta notes that, shortly after Carroll’s interview, Wilson responded with this message on Twitter: “I’d rather patiently wait & see what God has in store than do something that isn’t best for my life.”
That sounds like Wilson may not be responding any time soon, if at all. It possibly means Wilson will decide to play out his contract, forcing the Seahawks to decide whether to apply the exclusive or non-exclusive version of the franchise tag. The exclusive version would cost upwards of $25 million for 2016 (and nearly $100 million on a year-to-year basis over three years). The non-exclusive version would allow another team to swoop in with a major offer that, if not matched by the Seahawks, would result in Wilson changing teams — and in Seattle receiving a pair of first-round draft picks.
For now, it appears that Wilson plans to drive a hard bargain, as passively as possible. And he has every right to drive a hard bargain, passively or aggressively. At some point, however, it will become difficult to reconcile posturing for top dollar with the ubiquitous cry of “Go ‘Hawks!“
If you can’t beat him, sign his doppleganger.
East Carolina quarterback Shane Carden, who has been said to look like former Packers star Brett Favre, is one of 15 undrafted rookie free agents to agree to deals with the Bears, the club said on its website on Sunday evening.
Carden (6-2, 218) threw for more than 4,000 yards in each of his final two seasons with the Pirates. In this span, he threw 66 TDs and just 20 picks in 1,166 passes. Carden will vie to stick on a depth chart that includes Jay Cutler, Jimmy Clausen and David Fales.
The Bears also reached deals with these undrafted rookies: TCU LB Jonathan Anderson, Rice CB Bryce Callahan, East Central CB Qumain Black, Toledo PK Jeremiah Detmer, Central Florida CB Jacoby Glenn, Coastal Carolina OG Chad Hamilton, UCLA S Anthony Jefferson, Arkansas OT Cameron Jefferson, Old Dominion LS Rick Lovato, Illinois State WR Cameron Meredith, Baylor WR Levi Norwood, Miami (Fla.) DE Olsen Pierre, Washington LB John Timu, Alabama TE Brian Vogler.
Randy Gregory was a top 10 talent who slipped to the Cowboys at No. 60 in the draft primarily because of off-field concerns. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett says those concerns are alleviated by the support system the team will have in place for Gregory.
“We believe we have the right kind of environment here with the Cowboys,” Garrett said on NFL Network. “We have an excellent coaching staff who believes in coaching the man first, and we also have an excellent support staff who can help our players in every way possible. . . . Some of the off-the-field concerns that we have with Randy, we feel like we can help address.”
The details of Gregory’s off-field concerns remain unclear, although he reportedly has mental health issues. Football locker rooms haven’t always been the most supportive places for people who need to work out such issues, but Garrett is vowing that the Cowboys will take good care of Gregory.
And, of course, on the field the Cowboys think they got themselves a great player.
“Randy Gregory is a very natural pass rusher,” Garrett said. “He seems to have a knack for getting to the quarterback.”
Gregory’s job in Dallas is simple: Get to the quarterback. The Cowboys’ job of supporting Gregory will be more complex, and may determine just how successful he is in the NFL.
The 49ers will have a little added picking power in the 2016 NFL Draft.
In trades this week, San Francisco snagged a pair of extra selections in next year’s draft, getting a fifth-round pick from San Diego when trading down on Thursday and a sixth-round pick from Dallas for a 2015 seventh-round pick on Saturday.
The Eagles came away with the highest future pick, snagging a 2016 third-rounder from Detroit for a 2015 fourth-round pick. However, the Lions are likely to get a 2016 third-rounder as a compensatory pick after losing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in free agency.
Here is the full list of future selections acquired during the 2015 NFL Draft:
Philadelphia: 2016 third-round selection (from Detroit).
San Francisco: 2016 fifth-round selection (from San Diego), 2016 sixth-round selection (from Dallas).
Detroit: 2016 fifth-round selection (from Denver).
Washington: 2016 sixth-round selection (from New Orleans).
Instead of taking a shot on a rookie running back with a seventh-round pick on Saturday, the Jets opted to trade it to the Rams in exchange for Zac Stacy.
Stacy, a 2013 fifth-round pick, became an odd man out in St. Louis when the team drafted Todd Gurley in the first round on Thursday. Reports that he wanted a trade came a short time later and the Jets decided to take the plunge.
Stacy joins a depth chart that also features Chris Ivory, Bilal Powell and Stevan Ridley, who the Jets signed as a free agent this offseason as he recovers from a torn ACL. Jets General Manager Mike Maccagnan said Saturday that concerns about Ridley’s return weren’t the reason why the team made the deal for Stacy.
“We thought the idea of bringing Zac in for that kind of investment would be very beneficial and increase the competition at that position,” Maccagnan said, via ESPN.com. “He’s had success in the league. Two years ago, he was close to a 1,000-yard back. This past season, his production wasn’t quite as high, but we do think he’s a good-caliber running back.”
It may not be the knee that made Maccagnan pull the trigger on the trade, but the Jets would seem to have some concern about Ivory and/or Ridley being right for the job to add another back with a similar style to the mix.
The first two days of the NFL draft were big for underclassmen, with 43 of them selected. But the third day of the NFL draft wasn’t as kind to players who turned pro early.
Only 17 underclassmen were selected in Rounds 4-7, which brought the total of underclassmen drafted to 60. With 84 underclassmen declaring for this year’s draft, that means there were 24 players who gave up their remaining NCAA eligibility and weren’t chosen at all.
That doesn’t mean those players made the wrong call — some of them will make NFL rosters as undrafted free agents — but it does serve as a reminder that players need to think long and hard about whether they’re doing the right thing if they decide to give up their college scholarships for a shot at the pros.
Some of those players who turned pro early in January now may be coming to the realization that they’re unlikely ever to make money playing football. Here’s hoping they learned something while they were in college.

Headley has been slumping, but the game-winning home run has the potential to get his season headed in the right direction.
Ian Kennedy gave the Friars six solid innings, and pitched his way out of a couple jams in the second and third innings to keep the Padres in the game.
In the fifth inning, Yonder Alonso led off with a double to left field, and moved to third base after an infield single by Chris Denorfia. Ian Kennedy put down a sacrifice bunt that Brewer starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo fumbled, allowing Alonso to score and Denorfia to get to second. However, the Padres let an opportunity slip by after Deno got picked off at second, Everth Cabrera struck out, and Will Venable grounded out.
In the bottom of the fifth, Brewer second baseman Scooter Gennett homered to right field off Kennedy for the Brew Crew’s only run of the game.
Beginning in the seventh, the Padres bullpen shutdown the Brewers. Nick Vincent allowed one hit and struck out the side in the seventh, Joaquin Benoit only gave up an infield single in the eighth, and Dale Thayer got out of the ninth despite a throwing error by Cabrera that allowed shortstop Jean Segura to reach base and steal second.
Rookie pitcher Donn Roach got his first win after blanking the Brewers in the tenth and eleventh innings.
The Padres had another tough night at the plate, but Headley went 2-4 and Denorfia went 3-5.

MASTER OF REMBETIKA - THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS 1932-1937 PLUS SELECTED RECORDINGS FROM 1938 (4CD)
JSP is cornering the market with it's beautifully programmed series of Greek rembetika music. This fifth set is an important collection from the legendary Markos Vamvakaris whose relentlessly rock-steady bouzouki playing and deep, leathery singing style made him an instant attraction in the tekes where mangas smoked their dope while listening to his hard-hitting songs about drugs and booze, bad women, two timers and heartless blonde girls. I believe that if Marika Ninou is the Memphis Minnie of rembetika, then Markos is Charley Patton!
He recorded with the cream of rembetika stars, playing duets with the girls Rita Abadzi, Sophia Karivali, Anna Politissa, Korina Thessalonikia, Elly Petridou, cut sheer classics with legends like Yiorgos Batis, Anestis Delias and Stratos Payioumidzis and made hits in the early years with his favourite guitarist Kostas Skarvelis. Whoever accompanied him, every Vamvakaris track is filled with the hard-hitting, brooding intensity of his wonderful bouzouki technique and growling vocals.
Rembetika aficionados will be thrilled to hear the 85 gems stashed on this box set. Once again, Charles Howard compiled and annotated this music and it was remastered, as only he can, by engineering genius Ted Kendall.
Review Date: October 2010

What happens if you put Jeff Buckley and U2 in a blender? Well, other then the really big mess, you'd probably get Ours. After the short-lived popularity of the single "Sometimes" from their first album Distorted Lullabies, Ours is back with another equally powerful guitar driven explosion of raw emotion and talent.
While you could go on about the music of the album, it would be pointless to talk about the band Ours without focusing almost entirely on lead singer/songwriter Jimmy Gnecco. Jimmy picks up the intensity where Buckley left off, if that were even possible. He can scream until it sounds like his vocal chords are going to pop, but just when you least expect it he jumps up two octave and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end.
The first single off Precious, "Leaves", is only a taste of what this album has to offer. Lyrically, Gnecco keeps it simple, basically, because he can. His voice takes care of the rest. "Alright, alright/My knees keep on shaking from fright", Gnecco belts powerfully but softly in "Places", one of the album highlights. Soft guitars and simple bass lines swim with Gnecco's vocals perfectly on this track, as they do on "If Flowers Turn".
On almost every track Gnecco gives us a full helping of "Ah"'s and "Oh"'s, only adding the drama of every vocal performance, and somehow making the guitars swim even more gracefully. On "Outside", a one minute and twelve-second journey into Gnecco's mind, "Oh no/feels like I'm falling away from myself/Outside/feels like it's calling". It seems to only end too soon because you were hoping it would last forever.
While they seem to fit nicely with the Coldplays and the Starsailors of the world, they do have their own uniqueness that sets them apart from these bands. Once again, it's hard to even discuss the band without focusing entirely on Gnecco, who took the style of every great pop/rock vocalist and mixed it into one. It's also hard to find a great singer that sounds even better live then on a record. Well, we've got at least one.

Intel Core i5-6400
Darn it! We don't have what you were looking for.

Intel Core I5-6400 Review
- Decent power consumption of 65 watts
- Very affordable when compared to other Core i5 processors
- 4 core multi-threaded performance
The Intel Core i5 6400 is a powerful and at the same time affordable processor that comes packed with the latest Skylake architecture, making it in a way similar to the more expensive Intel Core i7 6700K processor. It also boasts of 14nm manufacturing process which means that you have what it takes to build a powerful and reliable computer using this processor. With a standard processor speed of only 2.7GHz, the Intel Core i5 6400 is slightly slower than its peers. However, this is justified by the more pocket friendly price tag that lacks from its peers. You can also get the speed to go much higher thanks to the Turbo boost feature that can help you achieve clock speeds of up to 3.3GHz from the processor. The most impressive thing about the Intel Core i5 6400 is its reasonable price despite coming with most of the functionality that you would expect from its more expensive rivals. You will get four physical cores and 6MB of L3 cache and 1MB of L2 cache. Power consumption is another area where the Intel Core i5 6400 shines. It has been rated for a consumption of 65 watts, which is what you would expect from standard Intel Core i5 Skylake parts. This chip is not unlocked for overclocking, which means that the amount of tweaking that it can take is quite limited. However, that also means that the processor will do just fine with the Intel stock cooler. This is usually a problem with overclocked models.
What is the overall performance ?
When it comes to performance, the Intel Core i5 6400 does not disappoint. In addition to providing reasonable clock speeds while consuming less power, it has an integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 chip. Here, the GPU is able to achieve speeds ranging between 350MHz and 950MHz. This is significantly lower than what you would expect from the other high end Core i5 processors most of which can achieve speeds as high as 1,050MHz. When it comes to functionality, the Skylake architecture brings in a new set of features that were previously not available. However, this also means that upgrading to the new processors is more expensive due to the new socket and chipset to support these chips. Some of the improved features include better support for USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 3.0. You will also get more networking options.
Conclusion: Should I buy it ?
Although the Intel Core i5 6400 gaming potential is slightly limited by the clock speeds when you have intensive gaming requirements, it does come with a number of good features that make life better. The Intel Core i5 6400 price also helps make it a worthy bargain considering the fact that you get most of what you would get from the more expensive high end Core i5 processors.

Germany Wolfpark Merzig
- Please to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Founded and established in 1977 by Werner Freund (paratrooper, bear and wolf researcher, explorer and inspirational man, died in 2014, who lived and cried with his wolves and played the role of the alpha wolf for many years to study their behaviour) the wolfpark is a unique and one of the most breathtaking places in this area. You can visit different wolves from around the world and their packs in a big forest area, secured with fences of course.
You should bring a telephoto lens to make the fence "invisible" and get the wolves on your film, even if they're not too close.
There is room for a lot of cars, directly next to the entry, which is completely free. You can entry after sunrise and should leave before or during sunset and shouldn't feed the wolves. There's a free tour an every first sunday of the month (also on feastdays and rainy days), where you can watch the researchers getting as close to the wolves as usual people to their dogs.

Our old babysitter (from before we moved) texted me the other day wanting help spicing up her school-issued Macbook – you know I can’t pass up a plea for crafting help! And man oh man, they did a great job! I think the Captain American shield might be my favorite, with the apple logo shining out from the middle. So cool!
The great thing about using vinyl is that it’s totally customizable – you can use a cutting machine and cut whatever you want – AND it’s perfect because it will peel right off, so no damage to the macbook. It’s a win win. The vinyl above is glitter (it’s hard to tell in the pic) and super super cool. I had tons of vinyl on hand – I always stock up to hit free shipping, and that way I have lots on hand to choose from when last-minute crafting needs to happen 😉 (I’ve mentioned it before, but I buy all my vinyl from Expressions Vinyl – TONS of options, and it ships lightning fast – and it’s the best price I’ve found – affiliate link, but I love love love them)
I really love this camera decal too – – it makes picking a favorite super hard! To make the decals, the girls just found images they liked and then we used the “trace” function in the Silhouette software to trace them out. Then they would pick which color vinyl they wanted for the design and there ya go.
I was especially excited when this quote below traced out correctly – I wasn’t sure if the whole opposite side negative space thing would work, but it did, phew!
So if you have something that needs a little pizzazz, add a decal! They’re so fun!

Today, hundreds of colleges, churches, community groups, and service agencies across the country announced the start of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, an annual week of action where people come together to draw attention to poverty in their communities. Participating organizations will spend the week holding educational, community service, fundraising, and advocacy events to address these critical issues.
“This is the time of year when we all reflect on our lives, finding gratitude and peace in where and who we are,” said Megan Hustings, Director of the National Coalition for the Homeless. “But there are so many families that will not be able to come together during the season, strained by poor paying jobs, the lack of affordable housing, and even destitution. Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week brings communities across the country together to educate ourselves and our elected officials about what is really happening in our communities.”
|H&H Week: A Quick Reference Guide
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is co-sponsored by the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness. The event originated at Villanova University in 1975, and now takes place in nearly 700 communities across the country.
“Hunger and homelessness are epidemics that sadly affect every community across America,” said James Dubick, Director of the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness. “Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week gives local groups a collective opportunity to tackle these issues head on, rally public support, and call for solutions.”
Let us reiterate, it is imperative that we let our voices be heard that homelessness and hunger need to be addressed in real ways. We need to hold our elected officials and communities accountable to ensuring that all of our neighbors have access to safe, affordable housing, and the supports needed to maintain that housing.

I have arrived in New York for the United Nations’ General Assembly week, which will kick off today with the High Level Meeting on refugees and migrants. During this summit we will present the work the European Union has done on the Migration Compacts and on the External Investment Plan for Africa and the Mediterranean.
Last night I held my first meetings, starting with the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi: together we discussed about Syria, migration, Afghanistan and Iran, but also about bilateral issues as a follow-up to last July’s EU-China Summit in Beijing (here is the press release on the meeting).
I also met with the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura, to set up this week’s work, and with the representatives of the Syrian opposition. We are working with them to prepare the political negotiations on Syria’s future. And they will join us tonight, at the informal meeting of the 28 Foreign Ministers of the European Union, which I am gathering to coordinate our common work at the UN General Assembly.
The “UNGA” is also an opportunity for side events and meetings: today I will be at the opening of the Clinton Global Initiative together with Madeleine Albright, general John Allen, Amina Mohammed and Bono. The event will be live-streamed at 5 pm (European time).

10 Famous People You Probably Didn’t Realize Were Born In Maine
There are a few famous people that are absolutely, unequivocally tied to Maine. Some of the obvious ones include the master of horror, Stephen King as well as Dr. McDreamy, Patrick Dempsey. Can't forget about Anna Kendrick either, who's star continues to be on the rise. Often times though, the list stops there and it really shouldn't. There are several more big stars that have made it big in everything from Hollywood to the sports world who were born in Maine.


first, you need to know where to find the injectors.
second,you need to remove the three bolts from the bracket that holds the throttle cable in place. Next remove the injector bracket that holds the injectors in place. After doing that you take each injector out using a screw driver as a pry bar(remember which way the injectors are facing,it does matter).
Third, replace all parts as they came off
Are you sure you need them? They very rarely go bad.

We have just returned from our stay in this lovely place. My daughter and her husband planned this stay for my husband and I and choose this Ryad as they had stayed here 3 years ago. It was our first time in Marrakech and it was brilliant, the staff were so accommodating and the transfer from the airport to the Ryad and was seamless.. Nothing was too much trouble, and the room was lovely, we stayed in 104.. Yes we were woken by the call to prayer but that is part of the charm of this place!! I see that some people complain about this but I cannot see why, unless they are the type of person that complains about farm noises in the countryside in England!! Thank you Ryad Laarousse .....

Among Maui’s best offerings (of which, I know, there are dozens – including this) is a trip to the top of the volcano Haleakalā at sunrise. The legend of Hawaiian mythology says that the demigod Maui (after first creating the Hawaiian islands through a small act of trickery) climbed up the House of Sun (Haleakalā herself) to lasso the sun, slowing its journey across the sky and thus elongating the day.
Now, I don’t know what would be more difficult: trying to describe what a sunrise at Haleakalā is, or to stop taking photos of it when you’re up there and actually experience it. Having only semi-sort-of achieved that latter goal, I will attempt the former. Being up at Haleakalā for a sunrise is to watch the heavens paint the earth.
It’s only fitting, then, that a post-sunrise hike down the summit-area trails will likely be the most extraterrestrial journey of your hiking life.
Hiking down feels like you’re on another planet, albeit one with gravity. Monochromatic, dusty, quiet, and craterous, this trail will test your stamina and stimulate your imagination.
Dotting the path are dozens of these endangered plants – the silverswords, alien to all places but Haleakalā. Resembling more underwater creatures than volcanic dust dwellings, these curious plants shine much like the moon in a dark sky.
Hiking down the volcano is no easy feat. Parts of it are sandy, ashen. Such spectacular views may deceive you; the craters at the bottom look close enough to touch, but take a few hours to reach. In the meantime, you cross through an unforgiving environment in a high altitude; your lungs may gasp for oxygen.
It is quite the early morning experience to be had. And, later, when you’re relaxing on one of Maui’s postcard beaches you can think, hey, for a few brief hours today I left the earth and came back to paradise.
Planning a trip to Haleakalā (Hal. EE. ah. kah. la.) ?
- Get to the summit early, bird. Seriously. It takes a good half hour to drive up to the summit visitor center. You will be dizzy. This road is windy. The thing about Hawaii is, there are lots of other tourists. And the parking lots are pretty small. We left for the summit at 4am, and got one of the last parking spots. The visitor center is open 24 hours. It will be hard to wake up so early, but there is a splendor of stars waiting for you at the top, unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Unless, I suppose, if you live in a desert 10,000 miles away from anything. Then, I guess, enjoy your extra half hour of sleep.
- Dress in layers. The top is so so cold. So cold. So so so so cold. The hike is so warm. So so so warm. Bring a backpack. Bring a water bottle so you don’t dehydrate. Bring some snacks too just in case and/or to prevent you from becoming the subject of a movie in which James Franco will star as you. It’s pretty isolated out there, and not as many people do the hike as watch the sunrise.
- Keep track of time and ration your water/snacks. At the risk of sounding too “duh,” going down is easier than coming up. The return trek will easily take double the amount of time and effort it took getting down. If you’re going down and pass some weary souls walking back up, some kind words of encouragement will surely be appreciated.
- Don’t take pictures (sunrise only). Ahhh, I wish I could follow my own advice. This place, if you let it, will change you. It’s spiritual. Truly beautiful. The photos don’t even look like the real thing, anyway.
For way more practical information than I can offer: http://www.nps.gov/hale/index.htm
Happy hiking, you beautiful little aliens!
It was a beautifultrip. I felt That I had really done the trip

Steelers second year receiver Antonio Brown broke a Steelers record today when he got 2,048 All Purpose yards from Scrimmage on the season. While doing that he also plateaued 1,000 yards for the first time in his young career today. Brown came into the game needing 16 yards to reach 1,000. He got it on a pass from Charlie Batch in the fourth quarter on a Steelers scoring drive. Brown caught the ball for a first down and kept the Steelers drive alive. The drive finished with a touchdown run by Issac Redman.
Brown finished the game with 3 catches and 34 yards. Bringing his season total to 1,018 yards. It is great to see Brown get to 1,000 yards. The Steelers just never seem to have to rebuild. They just retool and keep going. Hines Ward was not ready to quit but the Steelers tried to fill in some gaps and Brown was drafted in the sixth round. He came out and was so explosive that the Steelers could not keep him off the field. Congrats on both to Antonio Brown. Great year so far kid. Lets finish it with another run to the Super Bowl.

President Clinton proposed Friday that the United States form a "Cyber Corps" of computer experts to defend against threats to the nation's critical information systems.
The Cyber Corps program would help fortify the ranks of federal government computer experts, Clinton said, and would encourage federal agencies to recruit computer-savvy college grads. In addition, the program would set aside funding for training and retraining of federal computer technology experts.
The suggestion was made in a speech at the National Academy of Sciences, where Clinton outlined three additional initiatives to combat cyber-terrorism.
Clinton recommended stepping up research efforts to detect hackers trying to break into computer systems, building intruder detection networks that would alert key agencies when a critical computer system had been hacked, and proposed the creation of information centers that would promote private-sector cooperation in addressing cyber-threats.
The President said he would include $1.46 billion in his budget proposal to Congress to fund these initiatives, a 40 percent increase from what the government spent on cyber-defense two years ago.
The Pentagon received a wake-up call last year when certain unclassified Department of Defense computer systems were hacked. It took several days for the Pentagon to determine that the attacks were acts of vandalism and not foreign threats.
Clinton illustrated the world's dependence on critical information systems by referring to last spring's satellite failure in which ATMs, pagers, television and credit card systems worldwide were temporarily disabled.
"We must be ready-ready if our adversaries try to use computers to disable power grids, banking, communications and transportation networks, police, fire and health services-or military assets," he said.

About 10 years ago companies saw an opportunity in the school foodservice arena: They saw the need for a different way to provide meals. Perhaps the best known of these companies is Revolution Food. But it’s far from the only one, as Red Rabbit a New York City-based company proves by serving meal to 20,000 students.
Today Red Rabbit serves New York City children in charter schools and after-school, pre-K and Head Start programs. But the company has evolved a great deal along the way. In the process Rhys Powell, the founder and president, received a crash course in school food, but through it all he insisted on making everything he serves from scratch.
Over a decade ago, when Powell was losing interest in his career in finance, a friend asked him for guidance on helping his 4-year-old daughter eat healthy meals. He threw himself into the project.
“I started exploring the food industry and the school food industry more through the lens of being a consumer than being a participant, but it definitely started to get me excited and interested in it,” says Powell. So that’s where the nexus of the company came from.”
Red Rabbit later switched to working directly with about a dozen private schools, and at this point this, the company started to hit its stride. Powell was gaining a more in-depth knowledge of the marketplace and its pain points, he says. It was around then, in 2011, that he saw the discrepancy between public and private school meals.
“We took it upon ourselves to go beyond private schools and start working with that non-private sector and to take on those challenges,” he says. Serendipitously, at this time, Powell was approached by an investor who offered to put $500,000 into the company.
The shift to working with charter schools, pre-Ks, Head Start programs and non-private schools wasn’t easy. (Red Rabbit does not work with any district school in New York City as these are managed by the Department of Education.)
“The biggest part of the transition was taking a meal that we were currently selling for $5.50 and bringing that down to what the non-private schools could afford, which was around $3,” Powell says. “In doing that we didn’t follow the patterns that most other foodservice companies did, which was cut the quality of the food or shift to convenience foods like frozen chicken nuggets and canned vegetables or fruit in syrup and those types of things. Our nutrition philosophy demanded that we use fresh ingredients and cook from scratch and those ingredients definitely cost more than the convenience meals. So the biggest challenge was taking those ingredients and cooking them in a way that kids enjoy but still being able to charge 40 percent less for it and have a sustainable business.”
Powell also had to consider USDA regulations, which was something he didn't have to worry about when working with private schools.
“I have to say that was a bit challenging at first for us," says Powell. "Less so that our food was not nutritious and we were forced to make it nutritious, but more so that our chefs were allowed a freedom and creativity in creating the meals for the kids that the USDA requirements don’t really allow." Red Rabbit meets the USDA requirements by standardized some components of their meals, says Powell.
Today, at Red Rabbit's 1,000-square-foot kitchen in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, his staff of about 100 cook up quesadillas, chili, tacos, cheddar biscuits and muffins.
One menu item Powell is particularly proud of is his fish cakes. He admits, he was a bit nervous about serving fish cakes to children. He even had a parent call and ask for a substitute for her daughter when the dish first appeared on school menus. But he was vindicated quickly–the next day that same parent called back to let Powell know that her daughter had been stealing fish cakes from the child next to her. She loved them. Red Rabbit’s fish cakes are made by hand using sustainable fish caught off the coast of Massachusetts.
Red Rabbit now serves about 20,000 students, and Powell imagines that in the next few years his company will expand in the regional area into schools to Westchester, Long Island, Connecticut and Philadelphia.
But as Red Rabbit grows, Powell will keep his focus on his mission. In fact, Red Rabbit is a member of B Corp, an organization that certifies for-profit companies who meet high levels of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
“For me starting the business was never purely about making a profit,” says Powell. “We were a mission-based business from our inception.”

As women and feminists, many of us watch the Trump phenomenon in disbelief. How can someone displyaing such shameful behaviour, scandalous biography (including 26 complaints of sexual assault, misogyny and racism) and blatant narcissism not only be elected as president of the US – a month after a recording of him bragging how easily he could commit sexual harassment was made public – but also run for second term?
In the 2016 election, Trump’s supporters included a not-inconsequential number of white women. Recent poles show that ahead of the 2020 election many of them expressed reservations regarding Trump and have shifted their support to Biden. American men, however, are a different story. The hard base of Trump supporters comprises mainly American men over 40, mostly blue collar workers without college degrees from rural areas. And they support him more than ever.
In a rally last January, Trump boasted that he had the biggest rallies, although he doesn’t even play the guitar. And that’s true. While he doesn’t play guitar, Trump hits all the right chords, exciting crowds and garnering the worship of his admirers more than any pop star ever could.
While most of us are shocked by Trump’s audacity, he keeps hitting new heights of vanity, now downplaying the Covid pandemic even after contracting and surviving it himself (probably due to an experimental, life saving treatment). He still presents himself as a winner, claiming he recovered by being strong and not afraid. he also advises that US citizens, who have lost 216,000 of their compatriots to the pandemic not let the disease control them. Trump pictures himself as powerful and dominant – he won’t be caught weak or vulnerable. He is unapologetic, unashamed, not even during a global pandemic, infecting people without regard for religion, race, sex or social status.
On October, a New York Times reporter said that his friends, Trump supporters, had sent him admiring e-mails, describing Trumps in terms out of a superhero comic: brave, fearless, unfazed by Covid, possessing the physical and mental fortitude, at his advanced age, to overcome the disease
Perhaps this emphasis of strength and virility could go someway towards explaining why middle aged men are so enchanted with Trump. They feel that with age, global changes and shifting generations, their position and power in the world are waning.
In a Washington Post article, as well as an election podcast on October 9th, Jenna Johnson tried to get an in-depth look at the hard core of Trump supporters. She joined an election party that took place on yachts and barges in Sandusky bay, to the shores of lake Erie in Ohio, one of the swing states Trump needs to secure in order to win the election. On the backdrop of the global pandemic, the election party was a colorful, lively event, where masses of men in red shirts and MAGA hats rode motorcycles, shot canons and waved flags adorned with Trump’s image.
Trump may have been in the White House for four years, but his supporters still insist on seeing him as a leader unsullied by Washington’s corrupted politics. As far as they’re concerned, he’s still a businessman, an outsider who says things as they are. In other words – completely ignores politically correctness, equal rights for women or women’s right for bodily autonomy. The media is fake, masculinity is the paramount ideal, immigrants are dangerous rapists and murderers, and the police is to be supported at any price.
In a video from a huge rally in January 2020, Trump asks his followers if any of them believe the media is fair. “Of course not” they answer. “is it corrupt?” he asks, “Yes!” they answer, cheering. Trump tells his followers that the USA is more respected on the global stage now than it ever was under Obama. He also says that the Republican party has never been so united. Both these claims are controversial, but no one cares about facts.
In 2016, Trump recorded a surprising win in the state of Pennsylvania. New York Times journalists who have recently visited a mining town in the state have talked to white men working in Pennsylvania mines. Some have lost their job. They used to be democrats, but in 2016 they voted Trump. They say that when they heard Hilary Clinton, she made them feel bad about themselves. They felt talked down to, deplored. With Trump, however, they felt good about who they are. They weren’t the problem. They were valued. They also said that Trump was a real patriot, putting America’s needs before anything else.
For his ardent base, Trump is not only a president, he’s a folk hero, some kind of Superman, a true icon. They put his image on flags, cars, banners, shirts and mugs. His followers believe they were given a once in a lifetime chance to serve a president who puts “America first.” They would do anything he asks for. Trump, for his part, dedicates all of his time and effort to preserving the legend. Not for nothing did he toy with the idea of leaving the hospital wearing a superman shirt. He’s empowered and enlivened by the worship of his followers, and they, in turn, draw strength and meaning from him, strength and meaning they need in order to deal with the new world, one undergoing tectonic changes regarding treatment of women, foreigners, anyone who isn’t a white man. The same hardcore Trump supporters feels sidelined and underserved in this new world, and with Trump – their fate is changed. They take part in the glorious task of Making America Great Again.
But reality is changing. As we know, soon after Trump’s election to office, the @me_too movement rose, bringing radical change, at least on the surface. Could Trump and his followers’ “masculinity on steroids” parade, broadcast to the general public as an expression of superpower and unlimited strength, simply be the voice of fear?

It's difficult to see how tiny hotel rooms in an old ship will be able to compete with the rooms you'll find in Dubai's cutting edge and light-filled luxury hotel properties.
Dubai plans to refit the Queen Elizabeth 2 as a 300-room hotel, ending five years of uncertainty over the fate of the historic cruise liner.
Sultan bin Sulayem, chairman of QE2 owner Istithmar, says the vessel will open within 18 months as the centerpiece of an entertainment village, including a maritime museum, in Port Rashid, where the vessel has been berthed since it was retired from service in late 2008.

A Whole Lot Better Than the Last One!This is perhaps the most complete book on the history of LEGO Star Wars I have ever read. 5 years ago, the first version of this visual dictionary came out; needless to say, I got it, but a couple years later, I gave it to two young fans, due to the fact I wasn't reading it much since then. But, I'm so glad this one came out (of course, 3 years after I gave the original away), because I have never seen so much LEGO Star Wars in one book. Seriously. THIS is the real deal for fans.
The last one contained every set up to 2009. THIS one is updated with 5 additional years, from 1999 to 2014, with better photos, which are amazingly detailed, and, as always, it isn't a LEGO book without an exclusive minifigure: an updated version of the very first 1999 Luke Skywalker minifigure, with printing now on the back. For those who didn't get the first book, that one contained a Luke minifigure with a medal (an homage to the celebration scene at the end of Episode IV, as the theme celebrated it's 10th anniversary).
Get this book. You won't regret it. I know I didn't.

As I said in the video, I've remade the armatures, because I'm redoing the figures in wax. The clay is just to soft for high detail in faces, and hair. So I made the female armature a bit smaller than the male. Once made I start to add wax to the legs as I did on the cowboy in Bronc Stompin.
Then using clay, I start the bear skin that will be over the saddle under the Mountain Man. Using one of my metal tools I start to put texture into the fur. Not sure if this detail will survive the creation of the Mountain Man, but I figure it's worth a do.

A 26-year-old Hawthorne man accused in the beating death of his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son in Long Beach is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on murder and other counts, prosecutors announced Friday.
Hector Ernest – who prosecutors say has a 2009 conviction for having a concealed firearm in a vehicle – is also charged with one count each of assault on a child causing death and child abuse.
The toddler’s mother, Cameo Green, 22, is charged with one count of child abuse. The criminal complaint also alleges that she failed to protect the boy, Deandre, resulting in his death.
The two took the toddler on March 20 to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, where efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
If convicted as charged, Ernest faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison, while his girlfriend would face up to 10 years behind bars, prosecutors said.
Hawthorne police continue to investigate a complaint by the boy’s father, Deandre Franks, who said he visited the Hawthorne Police Department in February to report that he suspected his son was abused, but was sent away by a desk officer.

Auto Expo 2020 is a little over two weeks away and understandably, there is a lot of buzz around this biennial motor show. The 15th iteration of Asia's biggest automobile exhibition is expected to be action packed even though several popular automakers have decided to give it a miss. Vehicles making their India debut at the upcoming auto show will include several BS 6 vehicles, a wide range of electric offering, and a number of concept models. Maruti Suzuki, India's largest carmaker, too will be present at the show, with a wide range of offerings, including an SUV, a couple of hatchbacks, and a novel concept. Let's take a look at what we can expect to see at Maruti Suzuki's stall at the Auto Expo 2020.
Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza facelift has been in the making for a while and will finally break cover next month. In its new avatar, Vitara Brezza SUV will feature a handful of cosmetic tweaks as compared to the existing model, including a new grille, redesigned front bumper, restyled headlamps, and different rear bumper. Besides these design changes, the new Brezza will also come with a petrol engine, a first for this SUV. It will most likely be the 1.2-litre BS 6-compliant unit which powers several other cars in the company's line-up. However, there is a small possibility that Maruti Suzuki could debut an all-new petrol engine with the new Brezza.
Joining Vitara Brezza facelift will be the updated model of Ignis. Launched in 2017, the mini SUV and is retailed through the company's NEXA chain of dealerships. Ignis facelift has already been spotted testing in India and gets a new grille which is reminiscent of that on S-Presso. The car also gets new front bumper and faux skid plates on either ends. New Maruti Suzuki Ignis will be propelled by a BS 6-compliant 1.2-litre engine and is also expected to be launched at the show.
Maruti Suzuki XL5 is an all-new vehicle and will be a premium hatchback based on the WagonR. To differentiate it from WagonR, the XL5 is expected to come sporting a new grille, chiselled front bumper, LED treatment for the tail lights, and a silver panel running across the boot lid. XL5's interior is also expected to be slightly more upmarket than that of the WagonR and will most likely feature new inserts to spruce up the cabin.
Other than a wide array of production models, the Indian carmaker will also showcase a concept vehicle -- Futuro-e. Teased a few days ago, Maruti Suzuki Futuro-e electric concept will get a design different than that of any other Maruti vehicle. As seen in the teaser, the concept will get a coupe-like sloping roofline with sharp, sleek headlights and tail lamps. Since it is a concept, we don't expect it go into production any time soon. But it will certainly give us a glimpse of a future Maruti Suzuki electric vehicle.
The company is also expected to showcase its range of BS 6 cars at the Auto Expo. It must be noted that Maruti Suzuki is the only carmaker in the country with 10 BS 6-compliant vehicles in its portfolio.
Maruti Suzuki showcased an EV concept vehicle based on Japan-spec WagonR during Auto Expo 2018. This time as well, we expect the brand to showcase an EV; could either be a nearly-production model of WagonR electric or a completelt new product.

Hydraulic measuring stand with central clamping – all joints are rigidly clamped by means of the central rotary knob. Oil hydraulics protected against oil leakage by double seals. Clamping force can be steplessly adjusted. Large rubberised hand wheel (⌀ 54 mm) for easy tightening and releasing the clamp. Jointed arms on the dial indicator mounting rotates 360°, can be twisted 180° and suitable for dial indicators with shank ⌀ 6 and 8 mm or dovetail. Stand with magnetic base with ergonomic rotary switch. High performance ferrite magnet with ground contact faces on the back and ground Vee underneath for placing on shafts and cylindrical bodies. Plastic enclosure of the magnetic base for easy handling, enhanced shock protection and thermal insulation.
Jointed arm No. 440610 400 and magnetic base No. 440620 1.
Hydraulic stands can withstand large fluctuations in temperature when the clamp is open. However a certain time is required for the temperature of the oil to equalise. When the clamp is closed the maximum fluctuation in temperature without fluctuations in pressure is 15 °C. These can lead to damage to the stand or to the object that is clamped.


One of the best senior recruits , not only in the state of Texas but also across the nation has released his top 3. Texas A&M, Georgia, and LSU.
The announcement comes after his de-commitment from the university of Florida.
Humphrey announced via twitter October 25, of this year that he would be re-opening his recruitment and de-committing from the Florida Gators.
The Georgia Bulldogs have been hard pressed on Humphrey who many experts think is high on the young stars list and it seems to me that he is taking a liking to what he’s seen thus far from the Bulldogs this season.
The total amount of offers amount to 32 total offers from power five schools across the country looking to land the star defensive back.
I believe the Bulldogs have the best chance at Landing Humphrey, they have been the one in most contact , or at least the ones hes showcased the most on Twitter.

First of all, Happy New Year! Of course I wish the usual health and happiness, but most of all, I wish for all of us to have more Joy in our lives. It's something I strive for, and I hope you will too. It isn't that difficult to choose joy over the alternatives, you just have be conscious of the choice. After a while, it will become a habit. Really!
And now that I've caused some of you to gag on my sugary-sweet message, I'll tell you my plan for the next 250 days or so. Have any of you seen the movie Julie and Julia--or Julia and Julie--whichever! In the film, Julie vows to write a daily blog entry on recipe reviews from Julia Childs' cookbook. There's more to the plot of course, but that doesn't matter here. Read on . . .
My lovely sister, Pam (secret santa for me this year), gave me an intriguing book called Caffeine for the Creative Mind by Stefan Mumaw and Wendy Lee Oldfield. The tome boasts of offering "250 exercises to wake up your brain." Pam said she wanted me to post the results of each task on Facebook, but I think I'd rather share them here.
So, I'm going to make a vow--promise--no, strong suggestion that I will--probably--report on the results of each of these assignments on a daily--or weekly--or generally regular basis right here on this blog. I'll disregard any embarrassment that may come my way (I have no pride!) and tell you about each and every task--no matter how silly or dumb it may be. And silly and dumb are right up my alley, so consider yourselves forewarned. ;)
The first assignment is called: "Pimp my Red Flyer" and yes, it's as simple as it sounds. They want the reader to take a few minutes to pimp their wagon or "take an ordinary red wagon and . . . 'pimp it out' with whatever luxuries and additions you can think of. Create your ultimate urban-inspired, pimped out wagon."
My initial thoughts ranged from wondering whether we still had a leftover wagon in the basement, to basing my model on a Red Cardinal--you know, the bird. It flies--never-mind. But the more I thought about it--which was WAY longer than the 15 or 20 minutes the authors estimate for each exercise--the more I came back to using the Radio Flyer, or a photo of it, anyway. Here's my first foray:
Rather than humiliate myself any further, I've decided to simply tell you about my personal pimped out wagon. It would still have four wheels, but they'd be under a luxurious recreational vehicle. The color red would stay, but I'd also like an option to change the exterior whenever the mood struck. So, depending on the day my ride would be red, purple, blue or green (it brings out my eyes). I'd need a plain black or white surface for the rare occasions that call for seriousness, and just for fun I'd have a Hippie Dippie Tye-Dye option, where the outside is covered in bright splashes of color in shapes like peace signs, hearts, flowers, and of course, the smiley face! The Hippie Dippie ride would also have fringe around the beaded-curtain windows, colorful patches on the tires, and macrame-trimmed headlights and doors.
I'd like my 'wagon' to convert from large (for hanging out) to small-ish (for ease of driving). And I either want robots to drive, clean and cook, or have a separate room for the live-in help. Speaking of converting, this ride also needs to transform into a helicopter for quick, short trips, or whenever traffic is annoying, and into an airplane for when I want to visit my peeps in Hawaii, England, and Virginia--or go on an adventure in Ireland or Australia.
I could go on and on, but I won't. ;) This exercise is over. I'd love to hear about YOUR pimped out wagon. Leave me some comments!

Get the family involved with a few simple steps. Plus: How to sign up for our Farm to Families program today.
Anni Daulter, a professional cook, nutrition expert and author of several books, including The Organic Family Cookbook, recently shared tips about how to encourage children to eat healthier.
“The more parents can do to involve children in the process, the decisions on what they are eating and where their food comes from,” she says, “the better off they will be at helping them learn reverence and appreciation for food.”
It may seem like a big undertaking at first, but by using a few small steps toward better food choices right here in Philly, children will be healthier and sustain more body and brain power as the school year gets started.
Here are some ideas:
Connect as a family at mealtime, making it a special part of the day. Not only will the whole family eat together, but also share with each other.
Breakfast can be one of the most important meals for children, which is why it’s helpful to incorporate whole grains, protein and fresh fruits into the routine.
Try healthy snacks
Snacks that are high in sugar can actually do damage to a child. Instead of candy bars or overly processed foods, trade them in for carrot sticks or veggie popcorn.
Want more healthy recipes? Visit the Farm to Families page on Facebook and see what we’ve got cookin’. You can join our Farm to Families program for just $10 or $15 each week, which entitles you to purchase a box of farm fresh fruits and veggies. Food boxes even come with great, easy-to-prepare recipes. Fruit boxes ($10) are also being offered at all Farm to Families distribution sites in North Philadelphia.
For more information about the program, including how to register and find the local distribution site closest to you, please contact St. Christopher’s Foundation for Children at 215-568-1126.


MAGA fund founder backs DeSantis over Trump for president
A prominent Republican financier and former backer of former President Donald Trump is throwing his support behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the 2024 election.
Hal Lambert, founder of Texas-based Point Bridge Capital – which runs an investment fund named after Trump’s 2016 “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan – said it was time for Republicans to turn the page on the 76-year-old former president and leave for DeSantis, 44.
“I’m for DeSantis this time. I plan to do a lot to help DeSantis win,” Lambert told the Post.
Lambert’s “MAGA ETF,” an exchange-traded fund, invests in companies whose employees and political action committees broadly support Republican candidates.
The GOP donor — who served on Trump’s inaugural committee in 2016 — said he decided to support DeSantis after having dinner with the governor and his wife, Casey, in Florida three weeks ago and was left impressed.
He noted that DeSantis – who is expected to enter the presidential race this week – has a strong and successful conservative record as governor of the Sunshine State and is right on key issues such as border security, energy independence and the school choice.
“Ron is great at delivering a message,” Lambert said, adding that Casey DeSantis “is amazing.”
“She will be a real asset,” he added.
By comparison, Lambert said he was disheartened by Trump’s performance at a recent CNN town hall, where the former president repeated his lies about stealing the 2020 election.
“Which voters who did not vote for Trump in 2020 will vote for him this time based on his performance? I don’t think anyone will,” Lambert said, adding that Trump was too focused on the past.
“We can’t talk about things from four years ago that can’t be changed,” he said. “Trump is going to have a hard time winning the general election. The election will not be about Joe Biden’s poor record. Rather, it will be a referendum on Trump.
DeSantis, meanwhile, would provide a better contrast to 80-year-old President Biden than Trump on the debate stage, the fund manager noted.
“DeSantis is a leader who knows how to govern, not just have headlines and slogans,” Lambert said.
Still, Lambert acknowledged that Trump is a formidable adversary and “it’s going to be a battle” to defeat him.
“You have to beat Trump and not alienate Trump voters. We need them to win the general election,” he said.
But Lambert also claimed voter support for Trump in recent polls was overblown and predicted the race would narrow after DeSantis formally announced his candidacy.
“Trump support will fall below 50%,” Lambert said.
In early voting states, DeSantis could win the Iowa caucus and have a shot at defeating Trump in the GOP primary in New Hampshire, where Republican Gov. Chris Sununu is a Trump critic, Lambert said.
Lambert, of Fort Worth, Tx., said the U.S.-Mexico border disaster under Biden is hitting home.
But he claimed Trump was also a failure when it came to border security when he was president.
“With millions of illegals across the world crossing the border under Biden, it is a daily reminder that Trump has broken his number one campaign promise – build a wall and make Mexico pay. We have neither and our country will be forever changed,” Lambert said.
“Even with a Republican Congress, Trump couldn’t do that,” Lambert continued. “And yet, with a tied Senate, Biden was able to secure trillions in new spending, including $80 billion for the IRS. Trump could barely muster $5 billion for the wall. »
DeSantis, meanwhile, recently signed legislation that cracks down on illegal immigrants, which includes increasing penalties for human trafficking and banning local governments and other organizations from issuing immigration cards. identity to persons without legal status and invalidates all out-of-state driver’s licenses issued to persons in the United States unlawfully. New York and California issue driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.
“DeSantis will be strong on border security,” Lambert said.
He also said DeSantis would promote energy policies that include fossil fuels, contrasting Biden and Democrats’ obsession with tackling climate change with green, cleaner energy.
“We cannot sit idly by and continue with the madness of going all electric and relying on wind and solar power. We have to have fossil fuels,” he said. DeSantis wants us to become energy independent.
DeSantis, widely seen as heading for a showdown against his former ally, Trump, in the Republican presidential primary, has already come under attack from the left, including with a preemptive spree launched by the NAACP in a row over its education policy.
Other mega-donors and bundlers previously told The Post they weren’t putting money behind Trump this time around.
A Trump campaign spokesperson touted the former president’s poll numbers in a statement Sunday and said support for DeSantis was sinking.
“President Trump is crushing every other candidate, and polling results — both nationally and statewide — show Americans are rallying behind the America First movement he built from the ground up. “, reads the press release. “Conversely, DeSantis’ shadow campaign is collapsing and his support has dropped to historic lows.”
New York Post
