From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden. For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. Mark 7:24-26 (NKJV)
Lord Jesus, we implore you to cleanse our homes and our families.
But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs." Mark 7:27-28 (NKJV)
Jesus, I want whatever crumbs fall from your table.
Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter." And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed. Mark 7:29-30 (NKJV)
Holy Spirit, please give us a faith which will cleanse our homes and families.
I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:15-17 (NKJV)
Father, please help us find this unity in the body and blood of your son.
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 1 Corinthians 10:23 (NKJV)
Holy Spirit, help me distance myself from those things which are harmful to me.
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 (NKJV)
Jesus, help me follow in Paul’s footsteps and yours.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills -- from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV)
LORD, you have been my help in the past and I trust you to carry me through this present contagion.
He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:3-4 (NKJV)
Jesus, keep me steady even when others stumble. I trust you to watch over me by day and by night.
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. Psalm 121:5-6 (NKJV)
Father, I look to you for help in this time of epidemic.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. Psalm 121:7-8 (NKJV)
Holy Spirit, preserve us with your strength. Thank you.
A Word Received: Pray for my people to know my peace.

Palestinians to call for boycott of Israeli goods in front of settlement supermarket, Joseph Dana
A protest vigil in front of the Rami Levy supermarket in front of the
Sha’ar Binyamin settlement, off road 60 on Thursday 23rd
of September.The Rami Levy supermarket chain has several stores in
settlements throughout the West Bank, and carries many settlement
products. The chain is popular among some Palestinian shoppers,
attracting its clientele through cheap pricing. The protesters will
call on Palestinians to avoid supporting the Occupation and settlements’
economy by boycotting Israeli goods and settlement stores.
Demonstrators will also remind Palestinians that Rami
Levy, the owner of the supermarket chain, is a member of the Jerusalem
municipality, and as such is directly complicit in Jerusalem house
demolitions and city-sponsored settler takeovers of Palestinian homes.
British trade union approves West Bank boycott
LONDON (JTA) – Britain’s national trade union has again voted to support
a boycott of goods made in West Bank settlements and of companies
profiting from the area. Delegates to the Trade Unions Congress’s (TUC)
annual conference voted unanimously last week to support the boycott
resolution. The union also condemned the Histadrut, Israel’s national

stop the aid flotilla in May. It reiterated its support and continued
cooperation with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Palestinian trade
Settlement boycott to target Israeli chain store
-- The Palestinian Authority Ministry of National Economy, charged with

will be launching a boycott campaign against an Israeli chain of
superstores, a statement read. The ministry said the Rami Levi Shivok
Hashikma chain, which has "spread like cancer" following the opening of
new stores in Ramallah, Hebron and Bethlehem.
US food co-op considers boycott of Israeli goods
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A California food co-op will vote Tuesday on a plan
put forward by the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement to ban
Israeli goods from store shelves in a move that has riled Israeli
diplomats. Israeli deputy consul-general for the California area Gideon
Lustig traveled to Port Townsend, the town whose co-op is considering
the boycott, at the request of an Israel advocacy group which opposes
the boycott of Israeli products.
Celebrities cultural boycotting Israel
The issue of Israeli settlements has captured attention far beyond the
arena of international politics. Several celebrities have now thrown
their weight behind what is being termed a "cultural boycott" against
further building on Palestinian land. But with Israel's construction
freeze due to expire at the end of the month, there are doubts that
these efforts will make any impact. Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports.
BNC Event: "South African anti-apartheid strategy and BDS, then and now"
Global BDS 21 Sep 2010 - The Palestinian Boycott Divestment and
Sanctions National Committee(BNC)cordially invites you to a public
presentation entitled "South African anti-apartheid strategy and BDS,
then and now" by Professor Patrick Bond.
Segregation and solidarity, Joseph Dana
The following is in response to an informal gathering of 'solidarity'
the Sheikh Jarrah movement is holding in Tel Aviv on Friday to inform
israelis about the struggle there and hopefully recruit more people.
Audrey Farber responds again to NIF guidelines
As anyone knows who has actually seen the new NIF guidelines , the
mention of the character of the state of Israel doesn’t come until the
very end. In fact, as would be expected from a grant-making institution,
the majority of the guidelines cover standard funding topics. They
require the grant applicants to be in full compliance with laws, to be
relevant to NIF, to be a non-profit, and to maintain standards of
transparency and accountability. Only at the end to we find the
notorious “NIF will never support your organization” clauses which have
elicited sensationalist reactions. But if we actually read them, we find
that perhaps these are not so sensational.
Ahava Complicit in the Sins of Occupation, Alex Kane
Walk into any Ricky's store, a beauty shop chain in New York, and you
will find a shelf filled with Ahava products. For $28, you can buy
mineral toning cleanser; for $22, Dead Sea liquid salt; and for $9,
purifying mud soap. The products made by Ahava (which means "love" in
Hebrew) seem innocent enough, perfectly enticing for anyone fond of
beauty products. But looks can be deceiving. As activists from the
peace group CodePink's Stolen Beauty campaign are fond of chanting at
protests, Ahava can't hide its "dirty side."
BDS: Boycotting Apartheid
In July, in Rachel Corrie’s hometown of Olympia, Washington state, the
popular Food Co-op announced that no Israeli products would be sold at
its two grocery stores. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a principal endorser of
this new Israel Divestment Campaign, issued a statement endorsing the
boycott. “The Olympia Food Co-op has joined a growing worldwide movement
on the part of citizens and the private sector to support by non-violent
tangible acts the Palestinian struggle for justice and
New H&M Apartheid Store Inaugurated
On 26 August 2010, H&M opened its fourth store in the apartheid
state of Israel. To mark the occasion, on 8 September BDS activists in
Gothenburg, Sweden protested outside the local H&M flagship store.
The protest theme was a satirical inauguration of the new apartheid
store, with an inaugural speech, ribbon cutting ceremony, question
competition, checkpoint, and flyers.
The Siege (Gaza & West
Bank)/Humanitarian/Restriction of Movement/Human Rights/Racism
Gaza medical sector facing crisis
The organization Medecin Sans Frontieres [Doctors Without Borders] has
emphasised that the continued Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip which has
lasted for several years has had a negative impact on the health sector
and provision of medical services to the sick and wounded. During a
press conference in Gaza on Tuesday, 21 September, the head of the MSF
mission in the Palestinian territories, John Locke, said: "The siege and
the closure of the crossings has had serious implications for the health
sector and the medical services provided to citizens due to a lack of
medical supplies, medicines and fuel" adding that "despite it being a
year and a half on from the most recent Israeli war and the opening of
crossing points to allow in aid sent by the various international
non-governmental organizations, the conditions of the health services
within the sector remains fragile."
160 killed in Gaza tunnels: Rights groups
Human rights groups say 160 Palestinians have died digging cross-border
tunnels between the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and Egypt. Falling
standards of living and unprecedented levels of unemployment together
with unrelenting poverty have led many young Gazans to risk their lives
in tunnels to make a living.
Egypt: “Aid Must Be Unloaded In Al Arish Before Being Moved To Gaza”
Tuesday September 21, 2010 - 01:15, A spokesperson of the Egyptian
Foreign Ministry, stated Monday that the Egyptian Authorities are
closely following “Artery of Life 5” aid convoy heading to Egypt, and
will allow aid supplies to enter Gaza as long as organizers follow
Israel seals West Bank for 7-day holiday
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- The Israeli army announced Tuesday that it will be

Israel Makes Meeting Another Arab a Crime, Jonathan Cook
vague security offence of “contact with a foreign agent” is being used
by Israel’s secret police, the Shin Bet, to lock up Arab political
activists in Israel without evidence that a crime has been committed,
human rights lawyers alleged this week. The lawyers said the Shin Bet
was exploiting the law to characterise innocent or accidental meetings
between members of Israel’s large Arab minority and Arab foreign
nationals as criminal activity. The chances of such contacts have
increased rapidly with advances in new technology and opportunities for
Israel’s Arab citizens to travel to the wider Arab world, said Hussein
Abu Hussein, a lawyer who represents security detainees.

Hamas’ Record on Women, a Mixed Bag, Hanitizer
When it comes to women rights, Hamas in Gaza continues to pass and
enforce laws and regulations that are baffling to say the least. I have
been watching their actions on women related matters and most of the
time I am surprised by how much time to dedicate to making the life for
women a bit more difficult. But then when I went to Gaza and saw how
things are, I started to see Hamas’s record as a mixed bag. While the
majority of Hamas figures see the home and family are the only place for
a women. Many Hamas supporters also engage in polygamy (but her husband
is a Shaheed). Granted there are things I see as a downside, some might
seem them as an upside. For example, in their rallies, Hamas likes
to enlist the help of women by promising them to get food stamps for
showing up to their rallies. Here is a list of observations on Hamas’
record on women as the Hamas government continues to make waves.
Violence/Aggression & Provocations
residents shot dead by settlement guards; Massive army presence as
clashes continue in Baten el-Hawa, next to Beit Yonathan settlement
Very early this morning in Silwan Village, a patrol of private armed
guards stopped near a group of unarmed Palestinian men who were on the
Wadi Hilweh Street. According to eyewitness reports, the guards spoke
provocatively to the Palestinians, and an argument took place between
them. It was during the verbal argument that eyewitnesses say the
settlement guards opened fire on the Palestinian men. The two injured
were brought to Ein Kerem hospital. One of the Palestinians, Samer
Sarhan, who is a father of five young children, was pronounced dead
immediately upon arrival to the hospital. The second man is now
confirmed as having died.

ordered to turn and face a wall outside.

said that soldiers ordered him to sit on the floor inside the house, and
they opened a stretcher to take out the body of the slain man.

worse human rights records. The question is
- how many of them model themselves as democratic, advanced, first

and the UN, and they speak for themselves.
Palestinians and the 'Jewish state', Lamis Andoni
If Palestinians recognised Israel as a Jewish state they would be effectively legitimising their own dispossession.
Israel's unreasonable demand | Omar Rahman
Asking Palestinians to recognise Israel as a Jewish state is like urging
the IRA to see Northern Ireland as a Protestant entity. "The
Palestinians must recognise Israel as a Jewish state." This is the
mantra of the Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who has been promoting this controversial idea
as a condition of any peace deal. But
is such recognition valid, necessary, or even appropriate? This question
will certainly remain at the heart of negotiations with an Israeli
leadership that views such recognition as imperative. Although this is
not the first time Israel has sought some form of validation, it
varies from the past in stark and troubling ways.
Harvard Crimson: ‘No donation is worth indebting the University to practioners of hate and bigotry’, Adam Horowitz
Oh, you thought that quote was in reference to the ongoing Marty Peretz saga? Think again. From the Harvard Crimson - in 2003:
While Harvard depends on the generous donations of its benefactors,
nothing is gained from a gift that taints its integrity. The University
is right to freeze a $2.5-million donation from Shiekh Zayed Al Nahyan,
the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), until the full extent
of his connection to an extremist think tank that he founded, the Zayed
Center for Coordination and Follow-up, is brought to light. Sheikh
Zayed made the donation to the Harvard Divinity School (HDS) in 2000 to
support the worthy goal of hiring an Islamic studies professor.
Unfortunately, it came to light last spring that the Zayed Center has
hosted Holocaust deniers and speakers who accuse the United States
government of carrying out the Sept. 11 attacks. The Zayed Center was
closed by the UAE in August, but Harvard has put the donation on hold
for the coming year, “in view of the evolving situation,” according to a
University spokesperson. Here's the Crimson last week
- "Lots of good can come from this donation, however controversial the
figure behind it may be. It would be a shame to discount Peretz’s entire
body of work and intellectual contributions due to two unfortunate
sentences." If it were only "two unfortunate sentences." Harvard returned the donation from Al Nahyan, it remains to be seen what they will do with Peretz.
Contrary to reports, Peretz will address Harvard social studies gathering, Adam Horowitz
It has been widely reported
that Marty Peretz was dropped as a speaker from this weekend's 50th
Anniversary of Social Studies gathering at Harvard University. This
appears to be incorrect. The Harvard Crimson reports on the official statement of the the Standing Committee on Degrees in Social Studies.
Harvard Still Doesn't Get it, Stephen M. Walt
hadn't intended to say anything further about the shameful Martin Peretz
affair, and lord knows there are plenty of good reasons for me not to
poke my finger in the eye of Harvard's current leadership. But
seriously: You'd think after nearly 400 years the leaders of the
university would have figured out what the principles of academic
freedom and free speech really mean -- and also what they don't mean.
But judging from the official university response to the furor, the
people I work for appear to be somewhat confused about these issues.

The entire U.S. administration's Middle East A-team--President Obama,

Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Strip, and insisting that the latest

an agreement which will resolve the conflict. I have a deep fear that
they may be correct in predicting an agreement will be signed, but I do
not have an iota of confidence that it will end the conflict.

attack. I wished him a speedy recovery and resigned myself to mailing
the robe. But Hala called later in the week to say her husband was home
and and I was welcome to visit. Following a simple hand drawn map, I
searched for their home along the Via Dolorosa, jostled by Christian
pilgrims from around the world, hungrily soaking up every word from
erudite guides. The moment I entered the book-lined room, a sense of
calm came over me. Their home, a cultural center for an estimated 3,000
plus Uzbeks living in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza was also a
library filled with ancient, hand-written Islamic manuscripts. Dressed
in a white cotton robe with a white cap on his head, the Sheikh invited
me to sit in a comfortable chair near the sofa from which he seemed to
be holding court with three modern looking gentlemen. The Sheikh’s face
was without lines, a greying beard, the only sign of aging. Without
asking to search my shopping bag, the Sheikh offered me a cup of tea,
adding in perfect English, “All are welcome here.”

20/09/2010 Egyptian Foreign Affairs ministry spokesperson Hussam Zaki

warning against embroiling Cairo in the “trivial conflicts” among

some Lebanese expressly rely on weapons that are ruled neither by the
Executive Power nor by the Judicial Power, but also include the entire
situation prevailing in Lebanon since the last few weeks,” Zaki said in a
statement, accusing Hezbollah of “relying on the power of weapons that
are beyond the control of the Lebanese state.” “Egypt is concerned as
promises were not honored but rather replaced by instigation and
promotion of discord and challenge of the State, based on the power of
none State-ruled weapons, as recently seen,” he added.

actually lose." In short, the sale
is "mainly intended as a building block for Middle East regional defenses to

The Power Of Four Skimo (Ski Mountaineering) race takes place in beautiful Aspen, Colorado, and is one of the leading ski-mountaineering races in the western hemisphere. This event is part of The Power of Four Race Series, a unique multi-sport event series that includes mountain bike and trail run races during the summer: Aspen Snowmass 50 MTB; Power of Four Trail Run.
Competitors will climb and descend each of the four ski resorts in the towns of Aspen/Snowmass. This means they will ascend Snowmass, progress through the backcountry and traverse Buttermilk, and then to the bottom of Aspen Highlands. Then racers will ascend to the famous Highlands bowl, where they will make a stunning descent and finally climb Aspen Mountain’s backside (Ajax).
The Power of Four Skimo race has to be done in a partner (groups of two), and racers will have to stick together throughout the course. The course is big; there is a whopping 11,453′ feet of elevation game over 24.8 miles! This race is no joke, and the full power of four lengthened versions has to be done in pristine fitness to make the time cut-offs.
But there is good news for everybody getting into long ski tours or ski mountaineering in general. There is the ‘Power of Two’ lengthened version, which just does the second half of the course, cutting the uphill states about in half.
With Ski-mo fastly growing in popularity in the Rockies in Colorado, the Power Of Four has been at the forefront since the beginning. It attracts some of the fittest and most experienced skimo racers in the United States.
Registration opens on December 1 and be sure to check out the other events part of the Power of Four Series.

One year ago Wednesday, Jamal Adams tweeted out a promise.
Still in the midst of his rookie season, the Jets safety had just found out he wasn’t heading to the Pro Bowl. Call Adams confident or cocky or whatever you want, but he was determined to never let that happen again.
“I won’t miss another Pro bowl,” he wrote at the time. “Believe that.”
So far, so good.
Adams was named to his first Pro Bowl on Tuesday night. The sophomore will head to Orlando with Jets kicker Jason Myers and return man Andre Roberts. Each will be making their Pro Bowl debuts.
For Myers and Roberts, it’s somewhat surprising that the veterans are on their way to Camping World Stadium. No one could have predicted that either Jets newcomer would play at a Pro Bowl level when they first joined the team. For Adams, however, there’s nothing shocking about this selection after the sophomore typed his vow a year ago.
Adams has oozed confidence since he arrived in New York. It shows on the field, in the locker room and in front of the media. Once he set his mind to the goal, there was no way he wasn’t going to at least make the Pro Bowl this season.
After news of his selection broke, Adams was back on social media thanking Jets fans for voting for him and reminding them of the promise he made a year ago.
In his second year with the Jets, Adams has excelled both in coverage and in run support, recording 94 tackles, 12 pass defenses, nine TFLs, four forced fumbles, 3.5 sacks and three fumble recoveries. He has endured battles with some of the top tight ends in the NFL, such as Rob Gronkowski, and has come out on top every time.
“He’s probably been playing some of the best football I’ve ever seen,” Todd Bowles said recently. “He’s definitely playing the best of the team and he’s all over the place whether it’s coverage, whether it’s run, whether it’s blitzing, whether it’s mental in the classroom, his weightlifting. He’s done an outstanding job, he’s been an outstanding pro and he’s an outstanding player”
Adams has also drawn praise from players from around the league and has earned the respect of his peers with the way he plays the game.
“[Adams] never gives up on the play. He has a motor like I’ve never seen before,” Texans star wideout DeAndre Hopkins said before the two teams faced off last Saturday. “He’s the leader of that defense. You can tell by his play.”
This is the first of what figures to be many Pro Bowl appearances for Adams. As he continues to progress, Adams will become a lock for the exhibition on a yearly basis and is already in the All-Pro conversation.
Adams is all about winning, but being recognized for individual achievements is the next best thing with the Jets struggling in 2018. With their star safety leading the way on defense, the future is bright in New York.

Heavy Rain Closes Roads In Charlotte Area
Several roads in Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Stanly and Union counties are closed because of standing water from heavy rains.
At this time, the following state-maintained roads are closed:
- Stallings Road in Cabarrus County;
- Hopewell Church Road in Cabarrus County;
- Bethel Avenue Extension in Cabarrus County;
- Pine Bluff Road in Cabarrus County;
- University City Boulevard from Ikea Boulevard to North Tryon Street/U.S. 29 in Mecklenburg County;
- Gaddis Road in Stanly County;
- Booger Hollar Road in Stanly County;
- Bridgeport Road in Stanly County;
- Old Mill Road in Stanly County;

- Hamilton Crossroads in Union County; and
- Ansonville Road in Union County.
In addition, one lane of Clodfelter Road in Stanly County is closed because of flooding.
NCDOT will re-open the roads as soon as flooding conditions subside. Do not drive through flooded areas. If you see a flooded roadway ahead, turn around and take an alternate route to your destination. If there is no alternate route, head to higher ground and wait for the water to subside.
Do not attempt to cross over a flooded road, even if it seems shallow. Just one foot of water can float many vehicles, while two feet of rushing water can carry away vehicles including SUVs and pick-up trucks.

Parker, Chris - Moving Forward Now,
I’m having a hard time comprehending the press release, as according to this drummer and band leader Chris Parker is just twenty years old. But that can’t be right, as he is also a saxophonist (providing that instrument on “Positive Energy” when Jay Tibbetts sits behind the kit), plays bass trombone in an orchestra, plays in numerous jazz bands and here he is with a debut album on his own label! The album contains a mix of originals and covers, with just one vocal (Rachel Caswell does a superb job of “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright” while Craig Wagner’s guitar on the same song is sonorous and beautiful). What makes this album such a delight to listen to is that Chris is in total control of the kit, knowing when to use sticks and when brushes, as well as (and, incredibly importantly) when to play and when not to. He also has a deft touch on the cymbals, something that is often under-rated. This isn’t the crashing and bombastic form of course, but light triplets and touches that change the mood and show how he is driving the music along without being too in your face.
If this is the album he is releasing when he is just twenty, I find it hard to imagine what he will be doing in the next twenty. He is at home with musicians already well-known in the industry (guitarist Dave Stryker is one of the trio that opens the album with a wonderful “Battle Hymn Of The Republic”). Fresh and exciting, but looking back strongly into the golden age, this really is a wonderful debut from someone who is making a name for himself in the jazz scene at a tender age.

Astrology is an amazing tool when it comes to getting a deeper look into people’s characters and even their personality flaws. Apologizing, admitting they were in the wrong, or even opening up about their feelings is mission impossible for 5 zodiac signs as you’ll find out here, but luckily for them, we love them anyway; flaws and all! To be able to rely on personal attributes that naturally place you above others is something to be admired. However, what really differentiates one person from another is their attitude towards those who don't have the same qualities: You can indeed rise more through modesty, or lose your value by being pretentious. In this regard, we present here the 5 proudest signs of the zodiac. You probably know some of them personally...
Which 5 zodiac signs have the biggest egos?
1) Leo has a complete God complex
Leo’s ego is HUGE! These folks love commanding attention and showing off to anyone that will give them the time of day. The Leo personality, is the performer of the zodiac and simply adores having all eyes on them, although their pride can tip over into vanity at points and can even annoy their friends and family.
2) Scorpio is very boastful
Scorpio personality is often referred to as the most mysterious and intriguing sign of the zodiac. Scorpio has a hard time accepting some of their character traits and often thinks of themselves as humble and meek rather than big-headed.

3) Aries is confident and won't hide it
Our Aries friends aren’t ones to lack confidence or show their vulnerability, and often use their boldness to hide what they perceive as their zodiac sign weaknesses. Aries always tries to keep a brave face in any situation, no matter how embarrassing it might be.
4) Capricorn is a complete big head
Capricorn chooses to hide behind bravado and their huge ego because they are scared that other people will judge them and look down at them. These folks have trouble dealing with negative opinions and acts cocky and bold to deter people from discovering their real personalities. Underneath it all, this is a sensitive zodiac sign, although these natives hate showing it.
5) Gemini loves talking themselves up
The Gemini personality isn’t short of confidence. These people believe they are the most special and talented people out there, and no one should dare to tell them differently! They hate being contradicted and can even become mean when people don’t agree with them.
Susan Taylor’s insights: Is pride your downfall?
Our zodiac sign, along with the corresponding element, provides insights into our character traits, at least for those who have an interest in astrology. Certain signs possess greater strength, while others may display more jealousy or unfaithfulness. Additionally, some signs exhibit higher levels of pride compared to others.
If you have questions about your future, if you need answers, don't hesitate to make an appointment with one of our psychics. They will enlighten you about your future with great attention.

In addition to the music video that Sigur Rós already released for Valtari cut "Varúð", photographer Ryan McGinley created his own as part of the ongoing Valtari Mystery Film Experiment. It follows a golden-haired girl as she gallops down the center of Manhattan streets.
"This piece is my poem to New York City," McGinley wrote. "I wanted to bring a childhood innocence to the streets, through a character whose own light and wonder effects the world around her. I'm always interested in an atmosphere where dreams and reality mingle on equal terms."

Royce Reed Quits Basketball Wives
We're not sure that "artistic differences" is a legitimate excuse to quit a reality show, but that's what Basketball Wives star Royce Reed is using to get out of her contract.
Apparently, she won't be returning for Season 4 of the show, and confidentiality or professionalism be damned, because she sprang the news to the world on Twitter.
"As of right now I have decided NOT 2return 4 Season 4 of BBW due 2 artistic differences. Things may change but as of now, NO!" she wrote.
As we previously reported, contract negotiations were progressing slowly, presumably because the ladies were holding out for more money, and the producers were getting fed up.
But Royce's relationships with the fellow BBall Wives have also virtually disintegrated, so it's pretty difficult to star on a reality show when no one will film with you (ahem, Danielle Staub).
Are you surprised Royce quit?

Your pompom has lost its splendour? Our "well-kept secret": A good blow of hot air dryer to restore its volume.
For an even more WOW result, steam it for a few seconds before the blow dryer step.
Drying is very important in order to remove all moisture and thus ensure good conservation and better results.
Remove the pompom by holding the end of the toque firmly with one hand and gently pulling on the pompom with the other.
Hand wash only.
Machine wash on gentle cycle.
NB. The black fabric might runs in the first wash. We suggest you to wash it alone at first. Our "Pro" tip: Add vinegar to your load and the problem is solved.


The United Republicans of Green Valley and Sahuarita is going through with a mock funeral to "bury" Democratic issues but it won't be starting in front of the Democratic Headquarters as originally planned.
The event is still on for 9 a.m. Friday, but the group announced Thursday that the starting point has been moved to its own headquarters at Green Valley Village.
United Republicans president Yale Wishnick said the move was a matter of convenience and that the group still plans to have a convoy pass by the Democrats' office at Continental Shopping Plaza before returning to the starting point for eulogies and food.
Wishnick said Thursday it hadn't been determined whether they will drive past the plaza on Continental Road or go into the parking lot and pass the Democratic Headquarters. A United Republicans web post stated procession drivers will get a route map before the 9 a.m. departure.
Original plans to decorate "funeral" vehicles in front of Democratic Headquarters met with outrage in Green Valley, with many people saying it was insensitive in a time where thousands of people are dying of coronavirus.

FG blames smugglers for fuel scarcity
The Federal Government has broken its silence on the persistent scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, as it blamed the development on cross-border smuggling of PMS from Nigeria to neighbouring countries.
It also announced that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited had enough petrol, to the tune of 1.6 billion litres, amidst the widespread scarcity and queues nationwide.
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority disclosed this on Friday, as it reassured “all Nigerians that there is PMS sufficiency of over 1.6 billion litres as of January 26, 2023 both on land and marine.”
It said in a statement issued in Abuja that NNPC had additionally made firm commitment to supply more volume of PMS for the months ahead to guarantee national energy security and nationwide availability at the government regulated price.

Goodyear a Hot-Spot for Culver’s Franchisee
Sports and the beautiful spring weather lured Greg Landon to the West Valley. Business opportunity convinced him to stick around.
A Culver’s franchisee in Wisconsin and Illinois, Landon – along with his wife, Darlene, and daughter, Jacqui – opened a Culver’s in Avondale in 2012 and Buckeye in 2016. Now Landon, who owns a home in Estrella Mountain Ranch, plans to bring the restaurant’s trademark ButterBurgers and Fresh Frozen Custard to Goodyear this summer.
“To me, Goodyear is becoming the economic center of the West Valley,” Greg says. “I love the infrastructure it has created, from road structure to grid system, and there was a lot of empty land.”
The Landons broke ground in mid-January at 130 N. Estrella Parkway, just south of Van Buren Street. The 6,314-square-foot building will be the largest Culver’s west of the Mississippi, housing not only a restaurant but also a community room, the Arizona headquarters for the Landons’ business and a training facility for employee orientation and management training. (The latter reflects the Landons’ preference for promoting from within.) It also will feature an 800-square-foot patio and a drive through.
“I patiently waited for the right opportunity in Goodyear,” Greg says. That opportunity came with the groundbreaking for the city’s new recreation campus, which will be just south of the new Culver’s, providing a steady flow of traffic.
Founded in Sauk City, Wisconsin, Culver’s has restaurants in 25 states, including 32 in Arizona.
ButterBurgers are made with 100% fresh, 85% lean ground chuck, cooked to order and served on a lightly buttered toasted. Its Fresh Frozen Custard includes the finest dairy, plus cold-pressed vanilla and Dutch-blend chocolate. Wonderfully luscious and rich, it contains less air so it’s creamier and more decadent than ordinary ice cream. And because it’s served at a temperature that won’t freeze the taste buds, the flavor lasts longer. Culver’s makes every batch fresh, right in the restaurant, throughout the day.
While Culver’s is famous for ButterBurgers and Fresh Frozen Custard, its menu offers a variety of choices: hand-battered North Atlantic Cod, a Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Beef Pot Roast, Butterfly Jumbo Shrimp, genuine Wisconsin Cheese Curds and seasonal sweet-and-summery Lemon Ice, among other options. Check out the menu at https://www.culvers.com/menu-and-nutrition.
More about Goodyear, Arizona

The city’s median household income of over $80,000 annually, ranks the second highest in the Greater Phoenix area with single and multi-family housing options doubling in the last three years. Retailers, restaurant owners, and entertainment businesses alike, confidently choose Goodyear as their ideal place to be.

Wrexham people on what Armistice Day means to them
Thousands of people are due to take part in Armistice Day commemorations around Wales to honour those who have died since World War One.
Assembly Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler AM will lead a two-minute silence at the Senedd in Cardiff.
It will also be observed at a memorial in Swansea while an air raid siren marks the start of tributes in Wrexham.
Welsh Secretary David Jones is striking a £5 Remembrance Day coin at the Royal Mint, Llantrisant, near Cardiff.
Some people in Wrexham told Good Morning Wales what they will be thinking of during the two minutes' silence at 11:00 GMT.
11 Nov 2013
- From the section Wales


In the seven largest West European markets for heavy truck trailers, 2007 demand is forecast to be 17.4% higher at 173,000 trailers and semitrailers.
Order books are full for the first part of 2008. Although sales in 2008 and 2009 are forecast to exceed the previous record year, which was 2006, they are on a downward trend.
The principal factor in the growth is the economic cycle, which sees low growth in the first half of each decade and high growth in the second half. However, in this decade it seems the market has peaked rather early. One of the reasons is that the new EU countries admitted in 2004 have been sucking in used-vehicle imports at a high level. That means West European transport firms have been able to renew their vehicle fleets early.
In fact, it is claimed in some quarters that three-year-old vehicles belonging to large fleets have been replaced with new vehicles at next to no cost. That is because the large fleets use their buying power to negotiate low prices on new vehicles, while their remarketing arms are getting attractive prices for their used trucks and trailers.
There is an ever-growing demand for transport, and EU enlargement has stimulated this further. Recent attempts to introduce longer trucks in Europe that would have reduced the overall number of vehicles on the road received a serious setback when German politicians rejected their introduction, which could affect their adoption in the rest of Europe. With rail, air, and water transport unable to offer either a cost- or time-efficient alternative, there will be a need for more trucks and trailers on the road.
Germany, which has the largest border with new EU countries, has benefited most from this development. It produces half of the trailers made in the Western Europe and supplies most of the used and new trailers sold in the East. As a result, its exports have rocketed, resulting in a production level more than four times that of its nearest European rival, France.


In April of 2008, an event in Uruguay claimed the world record for the largest barbecue. So what if that was over a year ago? The video is still pretty damn impressive, and since it was new to us, we’re passing it along to you.
With around 12,500 people working on a grill that was over a mile long and containing in excess of 26,000 pounds of beef, the event shattered the previous world record by over 4 metric tonnes. We’re fairly certain the streets of Montevideo still smell like charcoal.
