The night before his 2017 inauguration, Donald Trump made what may have been one of his boldest, most ridiculous statements to date. Speaking at a black-tie event, he told the group assembled that despite decades of strife and years of failed attempts by people with deep expertise on the matter, he'd finally found the perfect guy to bring peace to the Middle East: his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. "If you can't produce peace in the Middle East, nobody can," Trump told Kushner. "All my life, I've been hearing that's the toughest deal to make, but I have a feeling Jared is going to do a great job." Given Kushner's complete and total lack of foreign-policy experience, the series of enormous red red flags from the jobs he has held, and the fact that his family's financial ties to Israel make him more than a little conflicted, the notion that he would be the guy to bring enduring peace to the region has been met with a mixture of astonishment and the kind of doubled-over laughter that typically precedes the question, "You're s--ting me, right?"
Unfortunately for progress's sake, it seems Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat, who hasn't met with Kushner since the Boy Prince of New Jersey announced his father-in-law's plan to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, feels the same way, if this transcript of Erekat's account of their sit-down is any indication:
EREKAT: "The last conversation I had with Mr Kushner was in the White House—the 37th meeting. I tell him, 'Jared, the president is supposed to sign the waiver, not to move the embassy.'
He said, 'We're not going to sign.'
I said, 'What do you mean we're not going to sign? The president promised us in the White House that he would not take any step that may pre-empt or pre-judge Jerusalem, not before negotiations.'
He said, 'It's our business, and we will conduct our policies according to our interests.'
I told him, 'Look: if you do this, you will have disqualified yourself from any role in the peace process.'
He replied: 'Don't threaten me.'
I said, 'Read my lips: you will have disqualified yourself from any role in the peace process.'
He said, 'You don't know the changes that are happening around you in the Arab world.'
I told him, 'The best thing for me is to be a student—so teach me.'
'DON'T BE SARCASTIC,' he shouted.
I said, 'I'm not being sarcastic. What do you mean by changes? Do you think Arab countries will open embassies in Tel Aviv and accept Jerusalem, with the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as Israel's capital? To them Jerusalem is a red line—all of them! Saudis, Qataris, Egyptians, Jordanians, Bahrainis. So what are you talking about?'
He said, 'This is our business—our policies.'
I said, 'If you do this, you will bring Israelis and Palestinians to [the] brink of disaster.'
Theodore Roosevelt once said the White House is an office of international morality. And he's right. But this White House needs giant statesmen, not real-estate agents."
Of course, within the White House, the Trump-Kushner clan seemingly still believes its real-estate agent is the man for the job. Last week, while dodging a question about his close pal Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordering the murder of a U.S. resident, Kushner told Sean Hannity that he'll be releasing his Israeli-Palestinian peace plan "in the next couple of months," putting it out there ahead of time that "not every side is going to love" it. "There's enough in it, and enough reasons why people should take it and move forward," Kushner said. "And this plan will keep the Israeli people safe and give them a good future, but also give a real opportunity and hope for the Palestinian people so that they can live much better lives."
As it stands, Kushner has managed to make at least one Middle Eastern nation happy. On Monday, Saudi Arabia's official press agency released a statement, calling the Trump administration's stance on Jamal Khashoggi's murder—the one where they've declined to pin the blame on the crown prince, despite compelling evidence that he in fact ordered the hit—"prudent," noting that it is "appreciate[d]" by the kingdom.

Berzerk Ball 3 Game has not yet been developed, why not play one of our other siteTitle below after reading our sequel ideas?
Berzerk Ball 3 – Ideas for improvements and inclusions in a sequel whose eventual existence will make lives worth living
A Colossal Tragedy
If you haven't had the absolute honour of playing Berserk Ball 2, then I feel nothing but pity and sorrow for you and will weep for your sense of enjoyment from this moment forward on an almost nightly basis (the rest will be spent playing the game). Do you know why I would have such an extreme reaction to the revelation that you haven't played the aforementioned game? It is because this game is perhaps one of the best distance games in existence, and is up there in the top 5 flash games of all time in my opinion. The fact that Berzerk Ball 3 doesn't yet exist is perhaps one of the biggest tragedies of the modern age (all wars, terrorist acts, and Jack Klugman's aka Quincy' death aside), so I've taken it upon myself to muse about the future of the game and come up with a few features and improvements that would make certain of the best geek-smashing experience yet.
Lucking Out
As far as luck being part of the gameplay of Berzerk Ball 2, it is undeniable that it plays a significant part in the progress of your geek across the screen and therefore in your ability to get him to travel greater and greater distances. There is only so far that you can actually go with upgrades to weapons and attributes alone, and the rest is then a matter of luck as to whether your geek travels to the next zone or not. I wouldn't say that the game is overly reliant on luck, but the fact that you often have to rely on the grumblings at the bottom of the screen to keep your run going, compounded by the fact that these grumblings appear rather randomly, makes it a little frustrating when trying to travel large distances and failing because of bad luck. Berzerk Ball 3 will do well to remedy this in some way, ensuring that the game isn't too reliant on the luck of object placement to get you those few extra thousand metres or so.
Ultimate Smash?
Another thing that will need improvement in the sequel is the game's so-called 'ultimate smash' feature that is anything but as ultimate as its title suggests it, even in its fully-upgraded state. Now, I'm not saying that it should be made overly powerful in Berzerk Ball 3 since this will eliminate the fun and the challenge of grinding for experience points and purchasing better weapons, but the ultimate smash needs to be a little less pathetic and much more devastating when used. Perhaps it should be harder to fill up the ultimate smash bar but should be about twice as powerful when you finally are able to use it.
It's a Grind
Berzerk Ball 2 was great once you got going, but to get to the stage where you are in the position to reap the benefits and rewards of having levelled up your attributes and weapons takes quite a bit of time. In other words, beginners must do a lot of grinding to get to the stage where you can smash your geek massive distances, which may put off some beginner players. Perhaps some quicker progression in the early stages could make Berzerk Ball 3 more accessible whilst eliminating 'beginner's grind' as I shall coin it. This way, new players aren't put off by having to grind for a while to achieve greater distances and those familiar with the game also don't have to go through the same slow process once again.

A possibility: remove the collar. Mend the worn torn section-by itself, leaving the good under-section free. Reattach to the vest, flipping it, with the mended side becoming the under collar.
I did this for my then husband at this request on some dress shirts.

Summer Vacation
Our beach bums
Aren't these photos precious!!!!
The swings were a hit at the park!
We packed up and headed to the shore for a week of vacation and it couldn't have come at a better time! I'm not much of a vacation planner and tend to take them on a moment's notice, but it's not as easy when you have a husband and two children as well as GOBS of stuff for the children along. So, recently I've conceded to go on some vacations planned more than a couple weeks in advance.
Chris planned this month's vacation to the Jersey shore back in March, so it's nice how the timing worked out - we left right after my last day of work from a career that spanned 13+ years at my employer before I was laid off. So, for me it was nice to head out of town to relax with the family. And, this got me thinking that this isn't our only recent pre-planned vacation that might not have happened if not planned well enough in advance. Back in Dec. 07 we headed to Orlando, FL right after we received Emma's profound hearing loss diagnosis. That trip was a brief calm before the storm and since that trip we've embarked on a crazy new journey of cochlear implants, cerebral palsy, insurance disputes, and a lot of therapy so it's nice to kick back our feet a bit.
This year we rented a second floor house in Ocean City, NJ and were pleasantly surprised to learn that our deck had a great view of the fireworks for July 4th. What a treat! The fireworks were beautiful and both Julia and Emma enjoyed watching them and then didn't put up much of a fight about going to bed right afterwards.
We didn't have any real plans for the vacation and it was so nice to fill our days with what fancied us that day. We spent a few lazy days at the beach, an afternoon at the zoo, a morning at a fantastic park that had most of the play stations available to those in wheelchairs (YEAH!), took a lot of walks, cruised on a sunset dolphin boat ride, enjoyed the boardwalk scene with the rides, Chris went for a few 5 mile runs, and we even got a chance for just me and Chris to go on a dinner date. Both sets of grandparents joined us for some portion of the vacation and the girls were in their glory with everyone around.
Aren't we lucky that the girls grandparents were able to help us enjoy our vacation!
It was so nice to just relax. Our weeks are so busy that it is nice to take time out to recharge our batteries. I read a book. Chris went for some runs. Emma got a much-deserved break from therapy. She works SO hard every day and this was a chance for her to just relax with Mommy, Daddy and Julia. The only therapy we worked on while on vacation was her acknowledgement of a certain 6 sounds (called conditioned ling sounds) since we are hoping she will remember this for a good CI programing session planned for the Monday after our vacation. Julia took a break from school and camp, but she hosted circle time and group time each day. We all took turns as Miss Julia's helper :-) When told on Friday that we were going home the next day, Julia jumped up and down shouting YEAH, do I go to school then? She calmed down a bit when we told her she had to wait until Monday, but was excited again when she found out that we would pick Finnegan up on Saturday. It's a good thing I wasn't expecting tears from her that our vacation was ending!
Julia got her hair wrapped on the boardwalk.
The boardwalk was a HUGE success with the girls. Julia loved the rides and the ice cream. Our last night there, we did some shopping on the boardwalk and then Julia went off for a Daddy/Daughter event of mini-golf and won a free game! I'm sure we'll be back to collect on it. Emma loved all the people watching on the boardwalk and also enjoyed some rides. We were able to take her on quite a few and Chris and I rotated taking the girls on the rides. Emma loved the wind whipping through her hair on the rides and it seems that she is a bit of a thrill seeker! She also caused quite a stir on the boardwalk. Chris designated her a local celebrity as so many people walking by her stopped to wave or talk to her. Emma's gorgeous blue eyes and winning smile just draw people to her.
The rides were a huge hit with the girls!
Now, I'll leave you with a photo that tugs at my heartstrings - Julia loved holding Emma's hand while walking the boardwalk. Sometimes Emma didn't want to hold hands and Julia didn't appreciate that one bit! The conversation between them on these occasions made me laugh out loud. How lucky they are to be sisters, how blessed we are as a family!

Happy Easter!
It's time for celebrations again. The joyous festival of Easter is back with a bang and 16th April 2017 will see sunrise services, egg decoration, Easter parades, traditional easter foods and lots of family time fun.
Shopping time too
Easter is no exception to the festive shopping breakout. And just like Christmas, Halloween you can expect a rise in traffic both on online as well off line stores.
So to hit the sales jackpot this Easter we've outlined some innovative Icegram messages to help you out.
Increase sales using Icegram
This Easter, step out of the usual hello bars, popups and instead use innovative message types to wow your audience.
Overlays take the whole screen and that's the best message to show your best offer. To make it even more effective, show the overlay message right before the user exits the page.
Example- You are running a 50% off sale storewide. A visitor may or may not be aware of it and may decide to leave your web page. Just before he leaves an overlay will remind him about the sale and this message could make the visitor rethink his decision of leaving. He will instead stay back and shop!
Sidebars do not take your website space. Also, majority customers feel irritated when they are bombarded with a message directly right in their face (centre of the screen). Sidebars show up on the extreme sides of the website. Thus being less annoying. Also they have ample space in order to display a subscription form, images, content.
Example- A restaurant can build it's email list by giving a special free lunch deal this Easter. This offer will not only grow your list but also keep your customers delighted.
Badges are visually attractive and are the best way to show very short messages or declare prizes. Customers feel more loved as badges create authority.
Example- If you ran a contest on the occasion of Easter. Declare the winners by putting up a badge on your homepage. It will not only make your homepage look festive, but also make the winner feel special.
You pin up important notes on your fridge door, your billboard and the important places which could catch your attention. So why not pin up the important happenings of your website on your homepage?
Example- Suppose the biggest activity on your website, is the one day Easter Sale. Remind your visitors by putting up a Sticky right on your homepage. This will not only keep the visitors aware but will also push them to avail the discount and make a purchase.
Spread the Easter Joy
These were my ideas and I'd be interested in knowing yours. Do write in to me if you implement any of these ideas. Incase you need any help drop me a comment. I will be happy to help.
P.S -Happy Easter!! God Bless All!!

An order of non-denominational nuns known as the Sisters of the Valley who've been cultivating medical Marijuana since 2008, are defying a ban imposed since 1 March, by the town of Merced, California. Medical Marijuana has been legal in California for 19 years, but a typing mistake in a new law has given this local city the chance to shut it down in their community. However, the three rebellious 'nuns' who make up the 'order', were undeterred, declaring that they're "Not accepting this ban. It's against the will of the people, and that makes it unnatural and immoral."
The 'Holy Order' is not affiliated with any religion and was born back in 2011 after the US Congress had ridiculously decided to classify pizza as a vegetable. Kate Meeusin, who in addition to growing Marijuana was a long time liberal activist, had this to say about it: "If pizza is a vegetable, then I am a nun!" … and since then she has been known as 'Sister Kate'. There are now three sisters in the order and they wear long denim skirts, white collared shirts and nun's habits. Sister Kate explains that all of the Marijuana-based products that they produce are purely medicinal and are infused with healing intentions and love. They contain only cannabidiol which is prized for its healing qualities, but is not psychoactive.
The Sisters of the Valley are dedicated to a vision of "Women in every city selling medicine, and making medical Marijuana a healing industry instead of a stoner industry." They continue to defiantly sell their products online despite the ban, and good news should be coming soon. The State of California is correcting the mistake in their law and the ban should be lifted in the coming months.

A record number of thirty-one lecturers graduated as higher education teachers with a Postgraduate Diploma in Higher Education at the Rhodes graduation ceremony at 10am on Friday 1 April. In addition, three CHERTL students were awarded PhDs.
PhD graduates include CHERTL extended studies lecturer, Karen Ellery (supervised by Dr Chrissie Boughey) who has done groundbreaking research which will contribute to understanding how science foundation courses can ensure access to powerful knowledge for students. Susan Giloi was supervised by Prof Lynn Quinn and Dr Dina Belluigi. Her research sheds light on the impact of assessment practices in higher education. Tarsius Nampota's study undertook to understand governance practices in the University of Malawi. He was supervised by Professors Sioux Mckenna and Arthur Webb.
This year's group of 31 to graduate with a postgraduate diploma from Rhodes is the largest cohort for the Centre to date, and is made up of staff from Rhodes University, the University of Venda and Mangosuthu University of Technology.
Rhodes University was one of the first institutions to offer development opportunities for academics in their role as teachers and are leaders in this relatively new field of teaching and learning in higher education. There is a huge need for academic staff development at institutions of higher learning.
The Department of Higher Education and Training Teaching Development Grant money in the last few years has allowed for more academic development in higher education which has made it possible for more lecturers to qualify as teachers in their respective disciplines.
The student protests of 2015/16 have highlighted a number of important issues related to curriculum, teaching, and assessment of student learning. These issues, along with important educational theories, were introduced as part of the course. These lecturers are thus better equipped to think more critically about all aspects of their role as teachers in higher education.Source: Lynn Quinn
Please help us to raise funds so that we can give all our students a chance to access online teaching and learning. Covid-19 has disrupted our students' education. Don't let the digital divide put their future at risk. Visit www.ru.ac.za/rucoronavirusgateway to donate

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center is one of the first heart centers in the nation to implant a new cardiac defibrillator that uses a single lead to sense vital changes in heart rhythm.
Single-chamber ICDs are sophisticated electronic devices that use a thin flexible wire, known as a lead, to deliver an electrical shock to the heart when the heart rate becomes dangerously fast.
The Food and Drug Administration granted final approval for the BIOTRONIK Lumax 740 DX System on Monday, and the device was used at the U-M on Tuesday where it provides a new option for gaining important and useful atrial signal information without the risk of implanting multiple leads.
"The ability to detect electrical signals from two cardiac chambers with one lead is a significant advance in ICD technology," says Frank Pelosi, Jr., M.D., director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship program who implanted the first device at the U-M.
"This could assist us to better determine the mechanisms of abnormal cardiac rhythms in our patients and reduce the burden of inappropriate ICD shocks," he says.
ICDs are very useful in preventing sudden cardiac death in patients with ventricular tachycardia – a fast heart rate – or atrial fibrillation which is a quivering or irregular heartbeat, and about 70,000 people are implanted with them each year.
Traditional standard single-chamber ICDs come with limitations. The devices are designed only to sense changes in ventricular rhythm and are unable to sense atrial arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, correctly. This can result in an increased risk of an inappropriate shock or a stroke if AF is not detected.
The DX System expands the diagnostic capabilities of a standard single-chamber ICD with a single lead, in addition to featuring sophisticated sensors that allow for atrial monitoring and enhanced arrhythmia diagnosis. The system uses an innovative floating atrial dipole. This allows physicians, for the first-time in an ICD, to capture atrial sensing capabilities with one lead.
When combined with the Lumax 740 VR-T DX device the system provides a reliable atrial signal. Additionally, the technology helps discriminate supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs), AF and atrial flutter to reduce the risk of inappropriate shocks.
"The DX System is designed with the patient in mind," said Paul Woodstock, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at BIOTRONIK, Inc., USA. "Expanding on the benefits of single-chamber ICDs, the DX System provides physicians with atrial sensing and home monitoring capabilities to monitor for important atrial conditions such as AF."
The DX System also integrates with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring®, allowing physicians to remotely follow their DX patients' clinical and device statuses daily—at anytime, anywhere in the world.
The cellular-based system has demonstrated the ability to detect clinically relevant events, including silent, asymptomatic arrhythmias,and device related issues, allowing for earlier medical intervention.
To make an appointment for heart or vascular care, call or email the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center New Patient Coordination Center at 888-287-1082.
The University of Michigan's commitment to providing advanced cardiovascular care led to the creation of the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center. The 5-level facility opened in 2007 and unites the U-M Health System's cardiovascular services. The Center includes operating rooms, clinics, inpatient beds and indoor and outdoor healing gardens. The U-M is the top ranked heart and heart surgery program among Michigan hospitals. To learn more visit www.uofmhealth.org/heart.

University professor Marie-Claire encourages a student to continue her research on her thesis about desire. More particularly, on the physiological reaction of the cells of the human body during the sexual act, whether it's performed with or without love.
Fascinated herself by this theme, the teacher, happy in her marriage as the mother of two teenagers, takes cells from her own body, as well as from those of her husband and her various partners. When a colleague, who is also her lover, is accused of sexually abusing a student, Marie-Claire jumps to his defense.
But her gesture has dramatic repercussions when the complainant turns out to be the girlfriend of a student with whom she herself has slept.

Many lawmakers blamed the country's Food and Goods Authority watchdog for failing to prevent the problem from developing into a scandal.
Dutch MPs on Thursday grilled two ministers over the tainted-egg scandal that has swept Europe as the country sought to mend its poultry industry's battered reputation.
Lawmakers fired questions at Health Minister Edith Schippers and deputy economy minister Martijn van Dam at a special five-hour session of parliament's economics commission.
Many lawmakers blamed the country's Food and Goods Authority watchdog (NVWA) for failing to prevent the problem from developing into a scandal that now extends across Europe, reaching as far as Hong Kong.
Action should have been taken back in November 2016, when the NVWA received its first tip-off that a banned insecticide, fipronil, was being used to rid chicken farms of red lice, they said.
"If concrete action had been taken at that point, the whole situation could have been prevented," said Animal Party (PvvD) representative Esther Ouwehand.
"Within a few weeks (of the tip-off), it could have been determined that it (fipronil) was being used on a wide scale," added Rik Grashoff of the eco-friendly Green-Left party. "Surely it's not rocket science."
Schippers and van Dam defended the NVWA's actions and denied that the scandal had happened because of years of budget cuts.
"The NVWA is working full-blast on a plan," to improve controls and communication in future, Van Dam said.
Dutch business was at the epicentre of a food scandal in 2013 when beef tainted with horsemeat was sold across Europe.
"It's too easy to make judgements before we've properly investigated the matter," Van Dam said.
The Dutch government announced Wednesday the egg scandal had cost local poultry farmers at least 33 million euros ($39 million).
"It was a painful and bitter lesson," said Van Dam, who admitted that some farmers "are not going to make it."
Van Dam said however officials were hard at work trying to fix the Dutch poultry industry's image, particularly in its main export market Germany, which gets 71 percent of its eggs from the Dutch market, according to the central statistics office.
But D66 parliamentarian Stientje van Veldhoven said: "The best way to promote Dutch products is first to ensure that all our monitoring systems are working as they are supposed to."
Millions of eggs have been pulled from supermarket shelves and destroyed across Europe and dozens of poultry farms closed since the fipronil contamination was made public on August 1.
Commonly used to get rid of fleas, lice and ticks from animals, fipronil is banned by the European Union from use in the food industry.
The issue has sparked a row between Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, the three countries at the centre of the crisis, about how long officials knew about the problem.

Naked, drunk, surrounded by sex toys – it's the Israeli ambassadorPosted: March 13, 2007 Filed under: News | Tags: Israel Leave a comment
When San Salvador police discovered him in his official embassy residence yard in the capital San Salvador, however, smooth talk was not really an option. For starters there was the gag and the rubber ball in his mouth. There was also the matter of being drunk. And naked. And bound. And surrounded by sex toys.

Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district includes parts of Washington County, Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties. Republican Tim Murphy has represented the district since 2003.
The district is concentrated in the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh. It is predominantly white and affluent, although it contains a diverse range of suburbs. It is drawn in such a way that in some locations, neighborhoods and even streets are split between the 18th and the neighboring 12th and 14th districts. In parts of the eastern portion of the district, one side of the street is in the 12th while the other side is in the 18th. In the west, one side of the street is in the 14th while the other side is in the 18th.
Although there are 70,000 more Democrats in the district than Republicans, the district has trended increasingly Republican since the mid-1990s; most of the district's state legislators are Republicans. The western portion of the district contains some rural regions of Washington County, as well as the very wealthy suburbs located in the northern portion of this county, such as Peters Township. This portion of Washington County tends to be more Republican than the portion contained in the neighboring 12th District. Many of Allegheny County's southern suburbs of Pittsburgh are located in the district, which range from traditional wealth areas such as Mount Lebanon and Upper St. Clair, middle class communities such as Bethel Park, Brentwood & Scott Township, and working class labor towns such as Elizabeth.
The district also winds along the eastern suburbs at the edge of Allegheny County, including most of the large suburban commercial center of Monroeville, and in western Westmoreland County. Central Westmoreland County, including the recently Democratic city of Greensburg, is also part of the district. Greensburg has not voted Republican since 1995, according to the Election Bureau. It also contains the rural foothills areas of the county, which are located at the district's eastern end.

Rock's flamboyant blood-spitters make a 'farewell' tour stop at Grand Rapids' Van Andel Arena on Saturday. That means it's time to unleash a John Serba playlist of KISS classics, the good and the wretched.
KISS plays Van Andel Arena at 7:30 p.m. Saturday on its farewell tour. Tickets, $49.50-$215, available online here.
Support our coverage of
West Michigan's music scene
KISS is it. KISS is the end. KISS is calling it quits. Maybe. Probably?
Forty-five years into its ridiculous, ridiculously influential career, history's most bombastic rock band is taking a final victory lap dubbed the "End of the Road World Tour," which should be subtitled, "No We Really Mean It This Time, Promise."
We've heard this song and dance before.
Nineteen years and more than a dozen tours ago, KISS embarked on its "Farewell Tour," which, considering the band's business acumen, apparently navigated the gray areas of truth in advertising laws.
Regardless, the band's stop at Van Andel Arena this week is most likely the last time Grand Rapids will see a performance by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and whoever they're employing to play guitar and drums (OK, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, respectively). The tour launched in January and will likely continue for two or three years, after which Gene and Paul will be of an age where retirement is more plausible than ever. That's not a cheap shot; it's the truth.
This is a long way of saying it's as good a time as any for a KISS retrospective. I set out to assemble a five best/five worst playlist, which seemed apt for a band whose musical output has ranged from highly influential to utterly embarrassing. Turns out, more than five songs struck my ear as classics, so I ended up with a hard-fought eight best/five worst list that sort of accurately represents my love/hate relationship with the band.
(Note: I didn't include "Detroit Rock City" and "Rock and Roll All Nite" because they're 51 percent contrived pandering and 49 percent actual songwriting.)
1. "Strutter" – Here's an opening volley with a meat-and-potatoes verse wrapping around a crunching chorus and scorching Ace solo for the ages — just signature KISS from the opening roll to the last lick. Bam. Pow. Stadiums crumble.
2. "God of Thunder" – Gene's "Demon" persona enjoys its own theme song thanks to this stompin' Godzilla rumbler, which, derp, sorta half-assedly reimagines the Norse god Thor as a super horny bass player. The double-entendres about commanding "virgin souls" to kneel are so transparent, they're more like quarter-entendres. Just be thankful there's no mention of Thor's hammer. Anyway, this KISS staple is evil and dumb and definitely not the type of rock 'n' roll God gave to you.
3. "Goin' Blind" – Friends, this is what happens when Gene Simmons pretends to be introspective: meandering, sludgy nonsense and sideways, unintentional brilliance. This thing is just dumb as a stone and irresistible. "I'm 93, you're 16," randy ol' Gene laments, the sentiment absurd extrapolation, not literal, because hey, this isn't "Christine Sixteen" (yuck), and implies that the narrator satisfies his lust by doing the naughty, unbiblical thing to himself that allegedly makes a person go blind, if old wives' tales are to be believed. Anyhow, Melvins and Dinosaur Jr both covered this song and made it kind of awesome, and that's why I like it.
4. "Deuce" – The intricacy to the main dual-guitar "Deuce" riff keenly betrays KISS' reputation as the kings of idiotic rock — although the thudding drums certainly underscore their distinctive simplistic pinheadedness. That's a slightly backhanded-slash-complimentary way of saying it's a crisp Gene-penned arrangement with nonsensical ("get your grandma outta here") yet assertively cool ("DO IT!") lyrics. And Ace's searing solo nicely finishes us off. It's three minutes of pop-rock perfection.
5. "Parasite" – Another smokin' Ace riff here, and a right ugly, down and dirty one too, a dark and dextrous exercise on the low end. Gene's menacing vocal borders on frightening, too. Of course, the song exists almost exclusively for Ace to give himself a sumptuous opportunity to shred godlike at the end, inspiring every 12-year-old within earshot to pick up a guitar and strike heroic poses, and maybe even learn a chord or three.
6. "Black Diamond" – This cut, sharp as a very sharp thing, borrows its melodic, groovy sensibilities from Motown, and marries them to articulate guitar licks within a smart, muscular arrangement. Would I ever accuse KISS of being musically sophisticated? I think I just did. Sorry?
7. "Cold Gin" – "The cheapest stuff is all I need." You're damn right. Ace, a notorious drinker, penned this boozin' song for the notoriously sober Gene to sing — that's some Merriam-Webster-perfect irony there, folks! Anyway, "Cold Gin" is cut from the same cloth as "Smoke on the Water" and "Iron Man," in the sense that the big riff is so simple and stoopid you can hear Beavis and Butthead farting it in their sleep. You know — that moronic duh-duh-DUH-duhhhh clumbering along, lodging itself into the most primitive part of your brain and never, ever leaving, insisting it's good. IT'S GOOD.
8. "I Want You" – It starts sweet and delicate, then explodes into an angry stalker anthem, Paul's sensitive -to-tough-guy Jekyll-Hyde vocal transformation selling the brilliant manic-depression of this track. A series of cascading Ace licks leads the way home. The best KISS song ever? I think so.
1. "I Was Made for Lovin' You" – OK, so everyone hates this shameless disco sellout, and they're not wrong: It's a whole lotta tinny Paul falsetto and very little guitar crunch, which was enough to raise the ire of dyed-in-the-wool rockers who preferred to use Bee Gees LPs for target practice. Their heroes betrayed them. But KISS would sort of make it up to them later, unleashing a harder, heavier version arrangement of the song live. Honestly, its hooks are seductive earworms curling up our cochleas, and there are a couple dozen worse KISS songs to cull from their dreadful 1980s output.
2. "Let's Put the X in Sex" – KISS' dalliances with hair metal often make Def Leppard look like spelling-bee champs. Thanks to their lurid, pro-party anthems, KISS certainly inspired the ludicrously popular 1980s musical trend, but by the mid-'80s, they fell behind Faster Pussycats and Ratts, desperately trying to vacuum up any stray cash. Speaking of vacuums, this empty, empty composition — a new track forced onto radio and MTV to promote a greatest-hits comp, 1988's "Smashes, Thrashes and Hits" — is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, but watch the video, and I'll be damned if Paul and Gene aren't giving it a hard sell so they can keep trolling for limo bimbos. This is shameless, even for KISS.
3. "Lick It Up" – For the vast majority of these interminable four minutes, Gene plays one note and Paul sing-shouts profundities such as "yeah yeah" and "lick it up, oh oh oh." It was 1983, and KISS was dumbin' it down sub-Spinal Tap. Motley Crue were Rhodes scholars compared to this dreck, which is a lot of turgid flailing in the hungry quicksand of MTV commerce. The verses are listless, the choruses dead on arrival, the bridge goes nowhere, the makeup dropped for generic posturing. Sharply written hair metal can be a guilty pleasure, but KISS' attempts at it were pure pain.
4. "God Gave Rock and Roll to You II" – I hate this song. Hate it. Hate it from its phony, relentlessly mechanical and belabored hands-in-the-air swaying anthemic horseshit chorus, all the way to the uptight "and" in the title, as if it was afraid of a coupla little apostrophes. Good god, this is a wimpy, watery glass of tepid piss of a song, written by Argent, covered by Petra (Petra!) and later re-appropriated by KISS (with different lyrics) for no discernible reason except desperation. Remember when KISS fed on controversy for being "Knights in Satan's Service," asserting that rock 'n' roll was the devil's music? Of course, it was all baloney, slyly manufactured PR courting capitalism. This is the same brazen thing, except terrible, just terrible.
5. "Great Expectations" – This is what happened when Gene and co-songwriter Bob Ezrin tried to emulate the most turgidly show-tuned Styx vibe, bringing in the Brooklyn Boys Chorus to polish off a track that single-handedly tries to torpedo the otherwise classic "Destroyer" album. Oh, and the overblown, grandiose arrangement also boasts the infamous Gene lyric, "You watch me singing this song/You see what my mouth can do/And you wish you were the one I was doing it to." Classy. This might be one of those what-were-they-thinking songs, but that implies the actual employment of human thought during its composition, something I'm convinced didn't happen in the slightest.

My time studying abroad in France with The Citadel and Dr. Strobbe was truly the best experience of my life. The wealth of cultural knowledge and foreign experience gained due to the Citadel French Program is invaluable to me. From the excursions such as the beautiful "Pont du Gard" to the awe inspiring and ever so vast cities of Marseille, Carcassonne, and Avignon. There were events and activities tailored to everyone; the most memorable being Horse Back riding through the ocean and the weekly beach trips. Everything I could have hoped for and more was included in the Citadel French Program, truly a must for those looking to broaden their horizons. -Rene Valentine
Check: Stone Goethe's blog
I think the French trip to Montpellier was the single most important thing that I have done in terms of advancing my skills as a French speaker. Not only did I have a great time, but I learned a ton about the culture and made a lot of new friends along the way. Now all I want to do is go back, and if I wasn't graduating, I would sign back up in a heartbeat. -Takumi Nemec
When I was first became involved with the French Program at The Citadel I had zero experience travelling internationally. Fortunately my professor, Dr. Toubiana, lead me through my first two semesters of 100 level French classes and prepared me for the summer study abroad program that was to take place in Montpellier. The four weeks I spent adventuring across the South of France will stay with me forever as the moments that influenced me to shape a future around my travel dreams. - Thomas A Scerbo
"The Citadel's French program is a wonderful program filled with lots of exotic, cultural, and learning environments. I loved my stay in Montpellier. It is a beautiful city, full of beautiful shops, fun festivals, and pleasant people. The school consists of a small classroom environment designed to meet your skill level. The teachers and other students are very polite and fun to be around. Some of the greatest times you will have are on your weekly excursions to exotic beaches, castles, huge cities, small villages, and finally to Paris. I loved every second in France, and would do it over again if I had the chance."
"My trip to France with The Citadel in the summer of 2002 was an amazing experience. Our language institute was fun and helped my language skills, which made my stay with my great host family go even better. We traveled throughout the south of France, and had a nice balance of visiting historical sites as well as gorgeous ones. The visit to Paris was the best end to the trip, we saw the traditional tourist spots, while we had the opportunity to explore and experience the charm of Paris."
Boat Ride in the South of France
"The summer trip to France was the best decision I made knob (freshman) year, next to staying here. With Mr. Toubiana as our academic advisor and trip planner, we were able to discover all of southern France, with the most attention given to the Montpellier region.
"This summer was one of the best of my life...The program set me up with a family in Montpellier. My time there was well spent and I will never forget the good times I had or the great friends I met. I will never regret this summer and would recommend this program to anybody."
La Grotte des Deux Demoiselles
"My six week visit to France (four weeks in Montpellier with the group) exceeded my already high expectations of the culture and people. I also learned more French than I had previously anticipated. I had studied French for years, but I believe that I learned more from the total immersion in the culture for just that short period of time than all the years of once or twice a week study in the United States."
"I had the time of my life. The trip was everything it was supposed to be and more. I cannot wait to go back. I plan on returning within the next year. It was incredible!"
"My experience in France was life changing. I met people from all over the world and for the first time in two years of study in French, it came alive for me. I will never forget the experiences I had, and it would be terrible for someone to go through college without an experience like this."
Les Invalides - Paris
The amount of fun I had on this trip is unbelievable! The French culture and music is one of a kind. Not only has there been an improvement to my French but also my view on politics, as well as the importance of American influence abroad. The memories and friends I have made on this trip will never be forgotten. The food is one of a kind. Every time we would go to the market you thought you were eating at a five star restaurant. Thank you to the French department for offering this amazing trip! -Michael Whelan
Place de la Comedie, Montpellier

March 17, 2011- The Koch petrochemical billionaires are continuing to bankroll Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), the Tea Party Republican who won Sen. Edward Kennedy's seat in a special election last year, campaign disclosure forms reveal. The Koch Industries political action committee dropped $2500 on Brown in February, according to their March filing. Before Brown's election in 2010, the Kochs had directed $50,400 to his campaign. Brown directly expressed his gratitude to the Kochs at the March opening of the David H. Koch Integrative Cancer Institute, as this ThinkProgress video shows:
The exchange "belied Brown's claims that he won't be politicking until next year," the Globe's Glen Johnson notes. Brown "may spend $25 million on his campaign."
Other recipients of the Kochs' carbon cash in February include the PACs of Sen. Jim DeMint ($5000), Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) ($5000), Rep. Steve Roskam (R-IL) ($2500), and Sen. Mitch McConnell ($2500), and the campaigns of Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) ($5000), Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) ($3000), Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) ($2500), Rep. Connie Mack (R-FL) ($2500), Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) ($2500), Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR) ($2000), Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK) ($2000), Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) ($1000), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) ($1000), Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) ($1000), and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) ($1500).

Wisdom encounters
Di, 27. August 2019 - Fr, 30. August 2019
Wisdom Encounters is an inspirational annual gathering of high impact leaders, entrepreneurs & investors who meet in an idyllic Swiss mountain town for a three-day purpose retreat.
The main purpose is concretely contribute to the creation of a more harmonious and sustainable economic system, a more balanced and connected society and a better world.
Wisdom Encounters is an inspirational annual gathering of high impact leaders, entrepreneurs & investors who meet in an idyllic Swiss mountain town for a three-day purpose retreat.
Throughout the journey we use the beauty and wisdom of Nature and the positive energy of the setting to get inspired, to connect with ourselves and to exchange in open council format with each other. Profound group dialogues and sublime mountain walks, yoga practises, breathing techniques and mindfulness, listening to and interacting respectfully with each other, spending time alone and in group, will help us become more conscious, internally aligned and inspired to reconnect our soul, heart, mind and body.
Wisdom Encounters is not about ego, not about power, not about net worth, not about titles, not about creating a power network, nor about selling services or products to each other. Wisdom Encounters are meant to be unique human encounters of authentic inspiring leaders who want to progress with their Life and contribute more to Society and the World. Participants experience the Wisdom Encounters retreats as fabulous moments of inspirational thinking and idea sharing, as a break from very busy intense lives, re-aligning mind, spirit and body, allowing to go back after the retreat to the respective organizations and responsibilities inspired and much clearer about their noble purpose and how they will serve 'the world' with even more courage and commitment.
We have committed to make this a truly unforgettable, authentic, profound experience with leaders, who we believe are ready and willing to (further) contribute to finding and implementing solutions for the enormous chal- lenges that are ahead of us. Each leader is invited on a personal basis only. We take into consideration diversity, multi-cultural backgrounds and 'professional' complementarity, as well as openness to progress and developing the Self. We expect each participant to adhere to the principles and values of Wisdom Encounters (see hereafter), in order to enhance the learning experience and true exchanges.

Very Hard Times
Sunday, June 06, 2010
I've been through two very hard days again. I got upset because my daughter was mistreated by a so-called friend. My husband and I argued, it became much bigger about the way he feels about other people. He says he could care less. He only cares for his family only. He is a hater and I don't like it. I could leave, I live abroad, but I will leave alone. My daughter is 13 wants to stay here. My husband did not always talk this way. Just more so since I was diagnosed last year. We been married 14 yrs. I leave the house and walk knowing there is no place to go. I just want to live and be happy. More and more the triggers go off. I can't avoid them. No one can understand me or really cares to try. My therapist is all, but that will end soon. My husband said he loves me and will try not to speak this way again. We will see, I am not going to live hearing this. Nice that I'm fifty-four and have to start over, again.

Living away from home is a strain,
It is nevertheless an exhaustive drain,
Enduring the solitude with a decorative feign,
Days roll slowly without any gain.
Adding up to the misery of living away
There arises series of threats every day,
The burglary in the neighbourhood keeps us at bay,
The murder in the marketplace turns us gray.
Holding the breath with great fear,
Panting heavily in a desolate gear,
Hiding with concern in the rear,
Waiting for the ultimatum in a shaky queer.
To gather courage one needs steps severe,
To face the threat one requires boldness near,
To thwart the danger one should possess bravery dear,
To emerge successful one should display strength revere.
Threats are very much present at home too,
They do exist in the surroundings too,
But the solace of having the loved ones besides too,
Sends a plausible security with much trust too.

The shawl has fine edges in knit ridges, and it is made using our own wool yarn Önling No. 2 that is beautiful, super soft, and sustainably produced in Italy. The pattern is easy and simple, and features multiple colors, which gives it a sense of Faroese knit. In short a lovely and delicate shawl - beautiful in its simplicity.

Having specialised in wedding catering for almost two decades, we are confident that we can work with you to create a successful and happy day. We are known for our flexible approach to adapting our menus to suit our clients' tastes and budget and are keen to incorporate any culinary ideas you may have to create the perfect and bespoke menu.
We offer a wide range of seated three course menu ideas designed especially for wedding receptions. Choose an elegant, plated meal or maybe select one of our sharing platters or 'carve at the table' options for a sociable, interactive guest experience!
To minimise disruption to your guests and to be sure of a swift, efficient service, we recommend that you opt for a seated, plated starter and dessert and that guests are invited a table at a time to the main course buffet to make their selection
For a relaxed atmosphere, a barbeque or hog roast is a great way to entertain your guests. Our pigs are local and free range and roasted slowly over charcoal to produce the crispiest crackling and tender meat.
Our range of barbeque menus feature delicious marinated fish and meat and our wide choice of imaginative salads, breads and accompaniments may be combined as you wish to create a memorable meal.
Traditional English afternoon teas have become increasingly popular in recent years.
Our teatime menus feature lovely home made cakes, scones and pastries; little sandwiches and tempting savouries.
Whether you choose to enjoy your tea sitting at tables or 'buffet style', we can use vintage china, tiered cake stands and pretty linen to create a delightfully nostalgic setting.
We believe a generous allocation of canapés is essential. Guests may have skipped lunch to travel to your wedding and could be hungry!
Our canapés are served on wood, slate, porcelain and glass, each chosen to complement the canapé it displays. In addition we use shot glasses, bamboo steamers, cones, flowers and abundant fresh herbs.
Our approach is a generous, natural and elegant presentation – never style over substance.
We could not fault the service you provided from start to finish. On our big day, all elements of the catering that you provided were simply perfect. All of our guests commented how delicious the canapés, main course and dessert were and we couldn't agree more.
We completely understand why you are so highly recommended by both the team at Gate Street Barn and also fellow suppliers.

Everything was perfect. The food was everything we hoped it would be and your team couldn't have been more delightful
We have had so many comments about the food subsequently. 'Best wedding food I've ever had' has been a common one.

The Rat Recommends: Wikipedilove Live
The Rat Recommends…
One of our missions at the Ten-Foot Rat Cabaret is connecting the great artists at our shows. So it's immensely gratifying to see the cerebral, sly Noam Osband creating stage art with the hugely talented Azusa (aka SheShe Dance)!**
Blues, ballads, comedy, lingustics, sex: Can't wait to see the wild tapestry of this show!
"Wikipedilove is part original musical comedy, part talk show. Real life stories of sex and love based on Wikipedia pages, with videos, photos and articles about the topic at hand. Plus special guests!"
** (Noam and Sheshe met at the Feb. 9, 2019 Rat!)

Q: Where are you from?
Doug: I'm from Angola, NY. A small town 20 minutes north of Fredonia.
Q: How long have you been competing?
DI: I've been competing since my junior year of High School.
Q: What attracted you to Fredonia?
DI: I wanted to keep running in college, but I wasn't talented enough to run anywhere else. The coaches here gave me a chance to keep running track, so it was an easy choice.
Q: What are you studying?
DI: I'm studying political science and philosophy. Specifically, I concentrate on legal theory and principles.
Q: Explain your experience as a Blue Devil?
DI: My experience as a Blue Devil has been amazing. Most of my closest friends and greatest memories have come from the track team here. Any time I've succeeded here, I've had a crowd of people cheering me on. Any time I fall, my team is there to pick me up. I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything.
Q: What are your athletic and academic goals?
DI: Athletically I hope to take the SUNYAC title with my team, take the individual title in the Heptathlon, become an Academic All American, and to make an appearance at the NCAA Championships. Academically, I've been working on keeping a 4.0 in my last two years and I want to graduate Magna Cum Laude with High Honors in Philosophy.
Q: What are your future plans?
DI: I'm going to law school after Fredonia. I'm not sure where, but I want to be a Corporate Attorney. If it isn't too unreasonable of a goal, I'd love to someday work with the Supreme Court.
Q: What is your favorite TV show?
DI: My all time favorite show is Scrubs. The main character, J.D., is funny, nerdy, and has a good heart, which I can relate to.

And we're being audited. There are 56 active charts here, several discharges, none of the overflow is consolidated or even in the same place, and my boss abandoned me with two subordinates (the other three never showed at the main office today, lord knows why), one of whom doesn't respect me at all because he thinks he deserves my job. I asked him several questions tonight and he just flat out didn't answer, like he never heard me.
It is my and my boss's asses on the line if the auditors are unhappy, and I can only reasonably trust my own chart checks and those of another person.

Padleled Vestfold is a network of paddling routes located along the coastline of Vestfold county from Svelvik, in the north, to Larvik, in the south.
Bjerkøymoloen is a good starting point for those who seek a great paddling experience in sheltered waters. From Bjerkøymoloen, you are in proximity to multiple beautiful and unique islands in Sandebukta bay. This area is well frequented during the summer, but in the off-season, you may have the water all to yourself.
The islands in Sandebuka bay have a calcareous bedrock with a lot of fossils, and therefore offer exciting geology, archeology, botany, and a rich birdlife. The largest of them, Kommersøya, is completely free of houses and cabins, and is a popular day trip destination throughout the summer season.
Bjerkøymoloen is one of the least developed areas within Padleled Vestfold. Kayaking and equipment can be dropped off at the pier, where it is easiest to start the kayaking tour. Parking is located next to the pier. Unfortunately, there aren't any public toilets at Bjerkøymoloen, but you can fill up with freshwater at the marina in the summer season. Groceries can be purchased at Nordre Jarsberg Brygge, about 5 kilometers west.
