Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
It's nearly 6 p.m. outside the Clubhouse -- Dallas' premier all-nude strip joint -- and just in time for their nightly broadcast, two newscasters face the cameras: "Tonight a community gathers outside a local club to mourn the loss of metal legend 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott ..."
It's an odd solemnity for a character known for songs such as "Slaughtered" and "Fucking Hostile." That isn't lost on fans at the memorial, who drop to their knees in front of his photo, take off their caps, and shoot him the finger. That part isn't on the news.
A makeshift memorial is growing outside the club -- pictures of Dimebag, a spray of gladioli, a full liter bottle of Seagram's 7. Laid out across the ground is a concert banner for Damageplan, the band Dimebag and his older brother Vinnie Paul formed out of the ashes of Pantera. It's hard not to cringe at the tour's slogan: Devastation is on the way.
The night before, Wednesday, December 8, Dimebag was shot at least five times in the head onstage at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, in front of the audience, his bandmates, and his brother. Four others were murdered, including Jeff Thompson, aka Mayhem, a forty-year-old bodyguard for the band. Killed by a crazed fan whose delusional behavior reportedly included passing off Pantera lyrics as his own, Dimebag is already taking on a Selena-like mythos. This Sunday, a local artist will paint a Pantera mural on the side of Dallas' Universal Rehearsal studio. Cars around town sport shoe-polish tributes on their windows: "We'll miss you, Dimebag."
The crowd at the memorial looks exactly as you would expect: Baggy jeans and black hoodies, concert T-shirts and shoulder slumps. In the song "25 Years," from Pantera's best-selling 1994 album Far Beyond Driven, singer Phil Anselmo referred to his fans as the thousands of the ugly, the criticized, the unwanted. There isn't a cheerleader or a spirit-squad member among them. For them, Pantera's chugging guitar and hateful lyrics were like a scream of consciousness. And Dimebag was the heart of it all, the innovator, taking classic metal riffs and pulverizing them into a straight shot of hundred-proof adolescent id.
"Dimebag is my god," one kid tells me. He's seventeen with shaggy hair. "That's why I play the guitar. He's the only one who inspired me. When I found out he died, I was like, 'Shit.'"
The kid formed a band with his cousin, who saunters up beside us and lights a cigarette. "Man, when I found out Dimebag died," he says, "I thought it was a joke. I couldn't believe it."
"Why was he so important to you?"
He shrugs. "'Cause he's the shit."
"I want to tell you a story about Dimebag," says an older man, swaying slightly and holding a bottle of tequila. "I partied with Dimebag. I bought him a shot of Jägermeister. That was his favorite."
As the guy tells the story, he hands off the bottle to a teen girl, who pours a shot into her bottle of Tropicana fruit juice. "We got wasted, although that's the last shot I bought that night," he continues. "We partied all night long. He was a good guy. A good, good guy."
Everyone has a story like this about Dimebag. They talk about how nice he was, how tender underneath the studded persona. It's comforting to think he remained like them, because he was once exactly like them.
Long before he became part of one of the most influential metal bands of the '90s, Dimebag Darrell was just another kid from Arlington, Texas, who wanted to kick the world in the nuts. With his brother, Vinnie Paul, he played in a Krokus cover band and dreamed of making it big. When he finally did with Pantera, he didn't move to Los Angeles or New York. He stayed in the area and opened up a strip club that caters to just about every famous musician and athlete who comes through Dallas. One sign posted outside his home in the tony Dalworthington Gardens neighborhood called him "The people's rock star."
As a courtesy to fans, the Clubhouse has thrown open its doors tonight, dropping the typical $20 cover charge. Inside the cavernous club, girls on platforms stand entirely naked, save for Lucite heels and money clips. It's hard to dance to the thundering heavy metal soundtrack, so their moves involve more of a disinterested hip sway, a flick of the hair, an occasional smack on the ass. Onstage, however, is the real action, where a stripper takes the stage in costume and makes good on her job title. She looks for all the world like a twelve-year-old in pigtails and knee socks. A heavyset bald man stands expectantly at the foot of the stage, and she struts over to him and shakes her little tits in his face. Last February, when Damageplan released its first album, New Found Power, the band held a CD release party here. It was a good time in their lives, a fresh start. That week, I'd interviewed Vinnie Paul, and he was exactly as people had described him: gruff, foul-mouthed, and sweet as can be. "When Dime and I first sat down to start a band, we said, 'This'll be a lot harder than we think and we'll have to reach down inside and find a newfound power,'" he told me, describing the album's title. "But the name had to be more powerful than that. The only thing that came to my mind was that when they built the atomic bomb, they had one thing in mind, and that was a fucking damage plan."
Outside the club, the memorial is growing -- fifty people, then a hundred. Empty beer cans are starting to collect around the memorial, along with candles and pictures. One boy lifts his sleeve to show off the Dimebag tattoo on his shoulder, a flaming skull with a beard. One woman clutches her lit votive and a framed picture while tears stream down her cheeks. "It's from a 1994 Guitar Magazine," she tells me after she calms down. "It's a photocopy. I have the color one at home. I couldn't give that up. It's too precious." In the picture, Dimebag's hair is streaked across his sweaty forehead, face pointed skyward. His shirt says, "This isn't a beer belly, it's a gas tank for my love machine."
"That's kinda funny," I say.
She smiles through her tears. "That was Darrell."
It's getting chilly now, but they keep coming, hordes of them. Families and couples, some older people but mostly young. They pour in from all corners of the city carrying twelve-packs and whiskey bottles, smoking cigarettes and holding hands. At least they're in this thing together, just more fans kicking back at their sadness with some beer and strippers, remembering a life lived loud and fierce.

Authorities said Gonzalez attacked Mary Margaret Puentes, stabbing her multiple times in the head and ears Saturday night.
Her daughter says she was reading the bible, when her neighbor, 18-year-old Alfredo Gonzalez, came up and stabbed her. He took off, leaving Puentes bleeding.
She was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be okay.
Her daughter said she doesn't understand why this happened.
"I am still shocked. Why would anyone do this to her? She's just a beautiful person. She would do anything for anybody," said the victim's daughter, Yvonne Puentes.
Investigators do not have a motive for the stabbing.
CNS contributed to this report.

The size of a country's tax burden plays a significant role in its economic development. This year, the release of the Panama Papers resulted in a widespread challenge of tax shelters, or tax havens, along with the practices of tax evasion and tax avoidance. In the midst of the turmoil, however, people forgot to consider the voracious fiscal climate that continues to escalate in Latin America. A case in point is Argentina, whose leaders still have not closed the fiscal gap they inherited from the previous government, despite having the highest tax rates in the world. In this context, in the absence of a plan to reduce regulations and with the presence of a "tax cartel," what role does the market play in alleviating tax burdens?
Taxation above a certain level becomes immoral and inefficient, often creating distortions in the decision-making process and affecting productivity at the corporate level. High taxes also have an impact on competitiveness, and even trigger the loss of investment opportunities — both local and foreign. The most interesting aspect, however, is that reckless tax levels make arbitrary spending possible and lead government officials to believe that they are meeting the "real" needs of people more efficiently than when those people simply care for themselves. In other words, taxpayers hand over their money so that the administrative state can make decisions for them, while distorting the incentives that the market generates.
When the government's fiscal voracity becomes unsustainable, businesses and citizens look for a way out and seek refuge under more favorable and convenient conditions, where their money can stay safe. Tax shelters are not dens for criminals, as the popular myth would have us believe. Holding money abroad is absolutely legal, as long as it comes from lawful activities. Few people are willing to offer their income to increase the revenues of a gluttonous state, so tax shelters are not merely a matter of preference but of necessity.
These tax shelters do not harm the most vulnerable people in society, as is commonly believed. What really hurts the poorest people are the countless regulations and taxes that weigh down on them. Tax shelters are a benefit to any society that enjoys an environment of fair competition. According to Oxfam, business investment in tax shelters quadrupled between 2000 and 2014. Currently, the hidden money reaches US$7.6 trillion and exceeds the GDP of the United Kingdom and Germany combined. Also, nine out of 10 multinational companies have accounts in tax shelters. If that money were poured into the economy, there would be more companies, more work, and less poverty. There would be no more excuses for funding a giant administrator and auditor state.
According to the report "Fiscal Panorama of Latin America and the Caribbean," by Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the tax burden in Latin America increased last year by 0.2 percentage points of GDP. The agent behind this "progress" — as ECLAC calls it in the report — is an increase in revenues coming from income taxes. In 2015, public revenue from income taxes grew significantly in Argentina (12.8 percent), Chile (15.6 percent), Costa Rica (13.6 percent), Ecuador (11.7 percent), and Mexico (24.0 percent). In contrast, notable reductions in income tax revenues occurred in Brazil (-6.1 percent), Guatemala (-6.4 percent), and Peru (-16.5 percent). However, as stated in the report, the level of tax burden is higher in Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil when compared to countries with a similar GDP.
An analysis from the World Economic Forum holds that Latin America has the highest levels of inequality in the world. One primary reason for this is that Latin American countries tend to have archaic and dysfunctional tax systems. In order to achieve sustained development, the analysis argues, it will be necessary to adjust and modernize these tax systems.
Meanwhile Argentina has gone the extra mile to stand out from the crowd. According to the latest Global Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum, Argentina is the country with the highest total tax rate in the world, including income and payroll taxes. Along with Italy, it is one of the countries where taxation most discourages investments. In addition, Argentina has the fourth-highest corporate tax rates in the world. According to a report published by the Tax Foundation in August 2016, the rate reached 35 percent. At the top of the list, we find the Arab Emirates (55 percent), Puerto Rico (39 percent) and the United States (38.9 percent). Meanwhile, South America (27 percent) is well above the world average. This useful information should be taken into account by countries hoping for investors to boost economic growth.
A report published by Instituto Argentino de Análisis Fiscal (IARAF) found that the formal comprehensive tax burden during 2016 would fall between 47.5 and 57.9 percent of total household income. This total includes employer social security contributions, as well as direct and indirect taxes charged by governments at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. In other words, Argentineans in the formal sector work the first seven months (211 days) of the year to pay for their share of the state, and only get to keep the salary of the remaining five months for themselves. Only four years earlier, in 2012, a formal salaried worker had to work only five months (171 days) to pay for all the taxes charged by the different levels of government. The current effective tax burden —the funds that the state actually raise — has grown significantly in the last 15 years. In 2000, tax collections at all three levels of government in Argentina amounted to 21.4 percent of GDP. Currently, that percentage reaches 35 percent, which means that the country's tax burden has grown by 60 percent during the last 15 years.
For the time being, Argentina is the opposite of a tax haven — a tax hell. It has reached the worst rankings in the world. It is important for its representatives to understand that public finances can improve, but this will only happen if there is more economic activity and less taxation. Furrent President Mauricio Macri has promised to discuss tax reform in the 2017 budget, as well as a proposal for a new fiscal target to drop GDP fiscal deficit by a point and half.
Not all government spending hinders economic development. The protection of property rights and enforcement of the rule of law can enhance economic growth. When countries maintain expansive welfare states, however, the high tax burdens that sustain them slow down the engines of economic growth.
According to Cato Institute economist Daniel J. Mitchell, tax havens are a disincentive to unlimited tax increases. They have an important role in the liberalization process because they work as a kind of tax competitor. If tax havens did not exist, governments would have complete power over tax burdens and it would be impossible to escape their voracity.
It is necessary to stop viewing offshore investments as evil. Governments that hope to curb tax evasion must focus on lowering their rates and reforming their tax systems, rather than wiping out tax havens. Ultimately, open markets offer better terms than governments that won't face up to their unhealthy tax systems, and help keep more resources productively invested.

The Profession of Poetry and Other Lectures
The Profession of Poetry and Other Lectures
The greater part of this book consists of lectures delivered during my five years' tenure of the Chair of Poetry in Oxford, 1923-8. Not all the lectures, however, were professorial. That upon Massinger was made for a private and almost domestic occasion, the nature of which appears sufficiently from the lecture itself. How to Know a Good Book from a Bad preserves a discourse to a summer-vacation audience of elementary teachers. Its aim was of the humblest; but it was in demand several summers running, and it seems more decent to print it than to grow old declaiming it. The lecture Milton and Oxford was written for the same audience. It contains nothing that will be new either to students of Milton or to the scholars of the Oxford country-side; but enough, perhaps, that is not too old to interest a less sophisticated public.
To the lectures I have appended an 'Appreciation' of an Oxford man who was the principal literary figure of my time. It is not a studied portraiture. It was written within a few days of the death of the person whom it commemorates, with the printer, almost literally, waiting at my door. At the time, it gave pleasure where I had hoped that it would; and I think that it has, perhaps, more truth than a more laboured composition would have hit. I have left it just as it was, though one or two of its sentences need straightening, and there are phrases which I could easily improve.
In one of my lectures I have quoted an eminent French critic, who speaks of the Oxford Chair of Poetry as 'one of the glories of England'. He had read the lectures of Matthew Arnold, and he had heard those given by . . .

January 8, 2016 UPDATE: Conde Nest Traveller published an article updating the traveler on the latest news with the Real ID and which states are compliant and not. This is a constantly changing situation. Please keep yourself informed and be prepared by traveling with your passport so you don't miss any flights due to you not having the correct ID with you.
Imagine arriving at the airport and you are wanting to board a domestic flight. You hand across your driver's licence and boarding pass to TSA and you are DENIED entrance into the secured area! Or you arrive at the pier for that long awaited vacation and present your driver's licence and you are DENIED boarding! WHAT?!?!
You don't understand. You presented your state issued driver's licence as valid ID and you are denied boarding? What is going on?
In 2016 Phase 4 of the REAL ID enforcement will come into effect. At the time of writing this there had been no announcement on the actual date. The Department of Homeland Security website just mentions "No sooner than 2016".
How does Phase 4 of REAL ID enforcement affect travel? It means that unless your state or territory driver's licence or state ID comply with the REAL ID requirements you could be denied boarding a domestic flight or a cruise ship; UNLESS you have an acceptable second form of ID, such as Passport, Passport Card, Military ID, etc.
How do you know if you have a REAL ID Compliant Driver's Licence or if your state issues them? First check your state's DMV site for information about the REAL ID Compliant Driver's Licence AND if you have the new REAL ID Compliant Driver's Licence according to their website description. You can also check the DHS site to see which states/territories are compliant, which are not, and those with extensions. Currently, according to the DHS website, there are four states and one territory that are not in compliance. They are American Samoa, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and New York. Although, in Minnesota and New York they issue Enhanced Driver's Licences which are acceptable.
If I am denied will I be covered by my travel insurance? NO! Sorry, not having the correct documentation is not a covered reason for a claim. It is up to YOU, the traveler, to ensure all your documentation is in order prior to travel.
My thought is, if in doubt travel with your passport, yes even domestically. I always travel with my passports, you never know when you may need it.
What are your thoughts about the REAL ID compliant Driver's Licenses? Please leave your comments below.

Outcast by Cheryl Brooks
Thanks to Danielle at Sourcebooks for the opportunity to review this book!
I give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Description: "This fourth installment in The Cat Star Chronicles series maintains the qualities of excitement, world-building, sizzling romance, and great imagination that made Slave such a resounding success.
Sold into slavery when his planet was destroyed, Lynx was enslaved in a harem. He is a favorite due to his feline gene, which gives him remarkable sexual powers, but after ten years, Lynx is exhausted.
Thrown out without a penny, Lynx is bitter and anti-female. He emigrates to a new planet but can only find a job with a female rancher.
Bonnie's boyfriend has left with all their money and she needs help with the ranch. Lynx is cynical, but honest, and though he has made it clear that he wants no part of a romantic relationship, Bonnie can't resist him. She finds out about his impotence and becomes determined not to let such a beautiful and sensual young man go to waste…"
This was the first Cheryl Brooks book I've read and talk about sizzling. Lynx sounded so hot I could practically see the smoke whenever he and Bonnie got near each other. This book was different from most romance stories I've read in that the man was the traumatized and shy one and the woman had to be more of the aggressor. The reader is immediately drawn to Bonnie's plight to find a worthy man to spend her life with and raise her child. You will hold your breath as you wait for Lynx to finally come around to the treasure he has in front of him. The one thing that was a bit of a turn off for me is I'm not used to reading romances that utilize "cock" and "fuck" so often. Somehow it just did not fit with the Bonnie I was picturing in my mind. So 3/4 of the way through the book it was surprising to hear her go from the innocent, naive, sweetheart to talking like that so often. Still the story was so good I would still recommend this book to other romance lovers.

Everyone on our team found Mariaelena's involvement with the company to be highly effective and truly game changing. She is exceptional at what she does and we will continue to consult with her whenever the need arises.
I am in year two of coaching by Mariaelena Welch. She has helped me identify the areas of my business to focus on and then kept me on track or make changes as necessary. In the first year we focused on helping my employees take on more and more challenging roles and providing them with the training to do so. This allows me not only the ability to work at a higher level, but more free time. Mariaelena's insights and tools to evaluate employees "triggers" and help them grow were so beneficial. With Mariaelena's help, I hope to have more and more free time while my business continues to grow. And to accomplish this with a delighted staff as well!
As a guy, I was a little apprehensive about opening up to someone but I'm very happy to have met Mariaelena. She coached me through a professional transition which has worked out very well. She was skillful in putting me to work on myself and holding me accountable to achieving the goals that I set. From working with Mariaelena I could see that she quickly identifies people's strengths, and effectively facilitates the direction needed to make achievements. I'm definitely looking forward to working with Mariaelena again!
Mariaelena has been a true support in getting my business off the ground. She is practical, truthful and doesn't beat around the bush. I feel like I'm in good hands with Mariaelena. She's not going to tell me what she thinks I want to hear but will tell me what she truly thinks will help me and my business. I value her insights and feel privileged to have Mariaelena on my team!

I can come to her with challenges with my day to day operations, and she will offer solutions that I can easily incorporate. She holds me accountable for my goals while reminding me of my accomplishments. I would highly recommend Mariaelena if you are struggling to organize or need help moving forward in your business.
Mariaelena taught a training session to my team of sales and service professionals at our annual Summit event, which received excellent reviews. Mariaelena is an engaging and warm speaker, and I found her EQ based training to be relevant and valuable. The materials, content and exercises were well-organized and meaningful, and Mariaelena did a nice job of encouraging audience participation and engagements.
When it comes to business coaches there are many possibilities with a wide variety of protocols and personal styles, what Mariaelena does for me is help me integrate my passion for creativity with sound business and manufacturing ideas. Her style is personable and very approachable with keen problem solving skills. She has enabled me and given me the confidence to move through my doubts and challenges as I continue to grow my business with enthusiasm.
I am very happy to be able to recommend Mariaelena Welch. She has supported our leadership team through her executive and leadership coaching, operational expertise, and strong business acumen. She has the combination of experience, knowledge, and skills that make her a trusted resource whom I know I can rely on – especially when I need a fresh or honest perspective. This has been invaluable over the years as our business evolves and transforms. I find Mariaelena to have a very unique combination of personal and business skills, and has a way of getting at and communicating issues to a diverse audience. I love having her as a resource, and knowing that when we have tough problems, important decision, or just want a "tune up" she is there for us.
As the VP of People & Culture, I had the pleasure of working with Mariaelena when we retained her services to facilitate a 2 hour Trust & Transparency workshop for 250+ ppl at our annual Company Summit. As a collaborator in co-designing the workshop, I found Mariaelena to be thoughtful, reliable, and flexible in her approach. She was open and willing to incorporate an entirely new framework/model than what she had previously used and taught it as if it were her own. My experience of her during the session is that she is an energetic, master class facilitator. She kept the audience engaged and pivoting gracefully as they asked tough questions and worked to digest new concepts and self-reflect with their peers. I look forward to the next time I can leverage her skills and highly recommend her as a learning architect and facilitator.
Mariaelena is an exceptional instructor and coach. She is organized, prepared, down to earth, and an expert who can quote the source documents that inform her approach. Her ability to connect with a demographically diverse group who also reside along the full spectrum of the management/leadership ladder is rare and inspiring. Her 8-hour seminar is the best I have attended in 30 years.
Mariaelena. What can't she do? Great mind. Brilliant people skills. Honest. Honorable. Kind. Committed. Driven. Steady. Whatever Mariaelena sets out to do, she will accomplish. She is utterly trustworthy and competent and if she is on your team, you have a true asset.
Mariaelena will help to put you in the best position to succeed. She was instrumental in helping me brainstorm how to have my business stand out from the crowd, and how to leave a lasting impression on potential consumers.
"Inspiring" is the word that comes to mind when I think about Mariaelena. She is genuinely interested in who you are as a person and by asking the right questions she's able to draw out characteristics about your company that you may have not even known existed before. She has enthusiasm and passion for the work she does and her wealth of knowledge is tremendous and invaluable.
Mariaelena brings a wide breath of education and experience to many varied topics.Besides understanding the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and emotional intelligence she also has a strong business sense and the vision to see the big picture as well as making sure the details don't fall through the cracks.
I have loved having Mariaelena as a coach in guiding the growth of my business. Her experience, insight and kindness creates a safe space for me to share opportunities, challenges, and personal issues that I deal with. I feel empowered when she helps me navigate them from a pragmatic and realistic standpoint. I'm truly in awe of her ability to help me hone in on priority action items when I present her with lots of information given the always fluctuating elements of growing a small business. Her ability to see through the chaos, synthesize data, and articulate resolutions in an easy to grasp manner is exactly what I (the over-thinking, idea-heavy entrepreneur) need. The confidence and expertise she brings to her coaching and support will have a lasting impact on me and my business and for that I am forever grateful.
Mariaelena Welch is fully present and listens with a full and open heart. She guides me to my own answers with strength and calm. I leave my appointments with direction, clarity and a strong sense of empowerment. I am most grateful to have discovered this fine lady!
Mariaelena provided us training on Project Management. Staff is saying that this is the best training we have ever had. She gave us tools to solve problems that have vexed us. Mariaelena's personality and energy brought the material to life. Her depth of experience was evident in the solutions she was able to provide to everyday real-life project management challenges.
It was wonderful to work with Mariaelena – she takes her time to listen and tries to support her client in concrete ways. I look forward to working with her for many more years to come!

Nowadays will not be doable to trace anybody just utilizing the cellphone quantity.

Now it's Brighton Dimitri.
Boba_Buddy_Le Says:
I love this so much. It's much better than Demitri.
fearlessfirefly Says:
I have Callum Dimitri on my list.
my fungasm Says:
Okay so I need opinions. I am wanting to use the name Dimitri but my SO says he doesn't like it and then claimed the reason why is because he thinks it's an african american (black only) name despite the fact that I've looked up many caucasians with this name and it was a white person with that name which made me consider it. Is there anything I could find on the web to prove that the name is not color specific? I really would like to use it but I don't know how to get my SO on board with it.
Carol Says:
i love this about Russian, however in the states we do things like name girls "Grayson" literally meaning "son of Gray" so...knowledge is always appreciated however.
Carol Says:
i feel the same, i love it but it's so very Russian i feel like i shouldn't use it.
Stasiya Says:
I had a classmate and a good friend named Dimitri and fell in love with the name even before I watched the movie Anastasia. Ironically, my given name is Anastasia. And I'm still in love with the name Dimitri. It's also a name of one of my current friends. If I ever have a son I'm most probably giving him this name. :)
Kim Says:
This is my son's name. I am hispanic and my spouse is German. I get TONS of compliments on it because it's strong and uncommon, but not weird name. I have always loved the name. I wanted a "D" name because my older sister's name starts with a "d". So after multiple discussions, we agreed that we loved the name. People remember it and him because he isn't one of the other five children named "Ethan, Liam, or Aiden". We did want to use "Dmitri," however we didn't want people misspelling it all the time.
amberdaydream Says:
Dmtrievna would be the patronymic (middle name) of a woman whose father was named Dmitri, rather than a first name. A boy would have the middle name Dmitrievich. Basically in Russia your middle name, "patronymic" comes from your father, so if your father was called, say, Ivan, a girl's middle name would be Ivanovna, a boy's Ivanovich.
headintheclouds Says:
As a kid, especially after the movie Anastasia came out, I loved the name Dimitri (I watched that movie so many times, and had such a big crush on Dimitri!). I still really like the name- it's strong and handsome, and ages well. However, I think it would be unusable for me, as I am totally of a non-Russian background and I'd think it was weird if I named my son Dimitri. Maybe, if my future partner should be of Russian heritage?
Daphodil Says:
One of my favourite names, unfortunately SO doesn't share my love for it. I think it's handsome, solid and a great choice for a little boy.
Guest Says:
I like this (and Dmitri) way more than Demetrius.
And I discovered Dmitrievna which is clunky but I LOVE it
Emilia elena Says:
I love this name. Although I do hear it pretty often because I am also surrounded by a Greek community and the majority I know use the Russian Variant (Dimitri not Demetrius) I really don't mind it feeling like its overused because it really isn't its only in the area I am exposed to at this point in my life. I see many different age groups with this name babies to teens. It's just a very popping handsome name Dimitri
caroblaise Says:
Dimitri is such a handsome name! So happy it's being used in modern America
noro226 Says:
I love the name Dimitri. I named my son this 18 months ago, and was nervous about the reactions we would get since we are just an average American family living in the Midwest (although I do have some Russian heritage). I'm happy to report that we get compliments on his name all the time. I'm glad we followed our hearts!

Phil Sylvester on 2UE: Talking Lifestyle – 20/10/16
Listen to TID's Phil Sylvester Talking Travel every week on the new 2UE:Talking Lifestyle station. Phil joins ...KEEP READING
Whether you want to lounge on a beach in Legian, sip cocktails in Sanur or escape into the rice paddies of the central mountains, Bali has something to offer every traveller. Make the most of your time in the Island of the Gods with these 7 travel tips for your Bali holiday.
With all that sun, sand and spirituality, it's no surprise why Bali is one of the most touristed islands on earth. But with all that popularity comes crowds, and with crowds come tourists, and with tourists come tourists scams. If the likes of Kuta and Denpasar aren't for you, we suggest heading up into the central mountains to Mount Batukaru and the rice patties of Munduk, or north-west to the Taman Taman Nasional Bali Barat, where you'll find less crowds (and more authenticity).
Top tip: Reconnect with your spiritual roots by heading to the stone fountain baths of Air Panas Banjar in west Bali.
While we can tell some horror stories about bali belly, the news is mostly good – it's not as prevalent as it once was. While ice cubes, fruit and fresh salads all used to be on the danger list, hygiene standards are mostly on the up-and-up. So don't feel like the only safe thing to eat in Bali is air (because even that tastes questionable…). That being said, don't throw caution to the wind entirely. Be smart about what you eat (and where) and stay hydrated.
Top tip: Invest in a stainless steel water bottle that you can refill with filtered water at hotels and restaurants. You'll help reduce the estimated 3 million plastic bottles that are discarded in Bali each year.
…and we mean in every sense of the saying. If you're out drinking with friends in the main tourist areas such as Kuta, make sure you keep an eye on what is actually being poured into your glass. It's not uncommon for bartenders to spike drinks with methanol – a cheaper substitute that doesn't dilute the drink's potency. While there's no way of detecting methanol by taste, symptoms of methanol poisoning can include headaches, nausea and even blindness. Avoid this by only ordering sealed drinks that you open yourself or see opened. We also encourage consumers of Bali's infamous 'bucket drinks' to watch how much they drink – as claims which come as a result of intoxication may not be covered by your TID travel insurance policy.
Top tip: Treat yourself to a good quality cocktail at Rock Bar on the Jimbaran Coast. Jutting 14 metres out onto the Indian Ocean, this is the spot to see the sun set and spot Bali's Mount Agung on the horizon.
You're likely to run into all manner of furry friends in Bali – from kittens and cats, to dogs and monkeys. But while they might look harmless, a scratch or bite from a feral animal could leave you with a nasty infection or worse – rabies. If you are bitten by a wild animal, head to your local hospital immediately. Plan on visiting the monkeys at Mandala Suci Wenara Wana (Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary) in Ubud? Leave your valuables at home and ensure your bags are zipped up – bananas aren't the only items these monkeys have a habit of swiping.
Top tip: Rather than treat those pooches to a pat, why not make a donation to Bali Street Dog Fund, an organisation helping to protect and enhance the welfare of stray dogs and cats in Bali.
Even for Australians, Bali's muggy heat can knock you sideways so make sure you drink plenty of (filtered) water and slather yourself in sunscreen. There's also nothing like a bad case of dengue fever to put a dampener on your holiday. Show some caution by wearing industrial strength insect repellent, long sleeves and light-coloured clothing. Stay clear of areas where mosquitos breed, such as small or large bodies of stagnant water.
Top tip: Particularly susceptible to heat stroke or illness? Visit your doctor before you leave and check that your hotel in Bali can easily contact a doctor or hospital in the event of an emergency.
While Bali might feel like an extension of Australia, it is its own country and therefore has its own laws. Be respectful of cultural etiquettes and religious customs, particularly if you're visiting temples or bargaining with storeowners at the local markets. It's also worth reminding you that when it comes to the Indonesian legal system, there's no special treatment for Australians. Rule of thumb is: don't do anything wrong and don't argue with the police.
Top tip: Learn some local lingo before you go – try selamat pagi (good morning), tolong (please) and terima kasih (thank you).
Sure, we've all run into the occasional glitch where things haven't gone quite to plan on a holiday, but so long as you stay hydrated, party safe, wear a helmet and take out a travel insurance policy with TID, there's nothing to say you won't have a safe and enjoyable holiday. So chill out, and order yourself another fresh coconut.

Known for its sparkling evergreen waters and sugar sand beaches, Destin, Fla., is already well-established as one of Florida's prime tourist attractions, but the area is also popular with many happy citizens who have found their home among the many Destin apartments for rent. With its many opportunities for outdoor recreation and close proximity to everything the Gulf Coast has to offer, it is no surprise that many Floridians are starting to call Destin home. According to information from City-Data, the city has seen a near 11 percent jump in population.
Some of Destin's earliest inhabitants were Spanish explorers seeking the riches of the West in the 16th century; however, people have been attracted to the beauty and natural resources of the Florida panhandle for many centuries. The city got its name and start from a Connecticut-born fisherman named Captain Leonard Destin, who came to the area because of its abundant fishing waters. The area remained a small fishing village until the 1980s when Destin saw a resurgence as an ideal tourist location and started to grow residentially and commercially.Today, Destin has seen a recent spike in population and is home to nearly 12,500 residents, according to 2011 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
With nearly a quarter-mile of oceanfront views, Destin's Harbor Boardwalk is one of the major attractions in the area and the future home of the Captain Royal Heritage Park. Every year, this location features many popular community events, including the Destin Fishing Rodeo and the Destin Seafood Festival.
However, the city's main attraction is, of course, its beaches. This beautiful seaside city is home to 12 public beaches, providing residents plenty of water recreation, most of which is free of charge.
If you are looking for an apartment for rent or a house rental in Destin, search for rental properties at Rent.com®.

Weekly Update – November 7, 2010Brenda Hellyer on November 8, 2010 in Weekly Update
Hello San Jacinto College Community –
Did you enjoy the "fall back" this weekend? Even though I slept in, I felt like I accomplished more than on a "normal" day and had a little extra spunk! Let's see how long it lasts!
On Monday, we had our monthly Board workshop and meeting. At the workshop, the focus was on strategic goal #3, Workforce and Economic Development. We reviewed a detailed report completed by the Workforce and Economic Development Council which included a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) assessment, review of major workforce sectors in our region, and recommendations for enhancing our efforts in the workforce training area. Additionally, we reviewed the institutional monitoring report on our Continuing Professional Development division; our non-credit offerings cover such areas as leisure/lifelong learning, workforce training, and business and professions. As part of this report, we reviewed various key performance indicators related to industry partnerships, workforce grant activities, new program developments, and small business support activities. If you are interested in reviewing the reports, they can be viewed here:
Workforce and Economic Development Report
CPD Institutional Monitoring Report
You will hear more about strategies around this area in a few weeks.
At the Board meeting, two significant bond construction projects were approved. Soon, we'll break ground for the Student Success Center at our North Campus, and major paving and drainage work at South Campus will begin. This South Campus project required significant changes from what was anticipated when the master plan was developed and when the 36-acre expansion property was bought back in 2002. This project will require us to dip into our bond contingency, but it addresses the anticipated capacity needs for the future and several drainage and detentions issues that had been discussed for some time.
While we had a full agenda at the Board meeting, I'll only highlight two of the action items, which are directly tied to our student success agenda. First, the Board approved the organizational and personnel changes that I discussed with you on October 12th. These changes are effective November 1st and will provide much-needed support for our initiatives and align our work more strategically. Additionally, the Board of Trustees approved the "Democracy's Colleges Call to Action" thus joining national organizations and other higher education institutions in showing San Jacinto College's support and commitment to student success and advancing the "College Completion Challenge." In April 2010, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) joined the Center for Community College Student Engagement, the League for Innovation in the Community College, the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD), and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society in an unprecedented joint-signing ceremony, committing these organizations to assist their members to produce 50% more students with high-quality degrees and certificates by 2020. AACC and ACCT expanded this commitment and asked college campuses to join the national call. Approval of the Call to Action by our Board of Trustees publicly states San Jacinto College's position and commitment to actively improving student success and increasing the number of students who complete degrees, certificates, and other credentials valued in the work place.
The focal point of my week was the three-day On Course I Workshop: Innovative Strategies For Empowering Your Students To Become Active, Responsible Learners that I participated in with 40 others on Wednesday thru Friday. The College has held several training sessions during the past spring and summer semesters, and I heard such great reviews from previous attendees that I decided to find out what the excitement was all about first hand. The On Course workshop is based on the work of Dr. Skip Downing (see details at http://www.oncourseworkshop.com/Skip%20Downing.htm).
On Course is the backbone of our mandatory student success course that rolled out this semester for all students testing into two college preparatory areas. Our plan is that for fall 201l, students testing into any college preparatory area will be required to take the student success course, and for fall 2012, all first-time-in-college students will be required to take a student success course (see more details under Strategy 1 of the Student Success Strategic Goal which was highlighted on October 24th).
The two-fold purpose of the On Course Workshop is to provide educators with the following:
- learner-centered structures for helping students learn more deeply and
- empowerment strategies for helping students become active, responsible learners who can thrive in a learner-centered environment.
The ultimate measure or outcome from the On Course approach is improved student academic success and retention—which are the same ultimate outcomes that we at San Jacinto College are striving to achieve.
The On Course materials pose a key question that we as educators have to ask ourselves: "What causes our students to struggle?" While it is common to attribute this struggle to lack of effective student skills and that our students don't thoroughly use the many campus resources we make available, the foundation for the On Course Model is that many students, even those who are academically capable, have not yet developed the inner qualities and outer behaviors that will empower them to make wise choices necessary for success in college and in life (p. 74 of On Course I Workshop: Innovative Strategies For Empowering Your Student To Become Active, Responsible Learners).
The specific inner qualities required by successful students and successful people are personal responsibility, self-motivation, self-management, interdependence, self-awareness, lifelong learning, emotional intelligence, and high self-esteem. During the workshop, the participants discussed each of these eight inner qualities and worked through case studies and concrete examples and strategies of how we can guide our students to understanding and practicing these qualities. While I participated in the exercises, I wanted to hear what the other participants were saying about the activities, concepts, and the entire workshop. Overall, most people said that this was one of the best professional development activities they had ever experienced. Here is a quote from one of our faculty members who emailed me this weekend about his experience:
On Course is absolutely some the best training I have ever attended. The three days I spent in the training is wonderful, pragmatic, and of great value. There are multiple things I brought away from the training that I will use in my classes next semester! The course applies to all areas and disciplines. Every faculty member should take this course as soon as possible! I think it will contribute directly to student success at the college.
This response is very similar to what I heard from participants throughout the session. But I also heard that On Course shouldn't be just for faculty, that it should be required for all faculty, staff, and administrators because each of us plays a role in the success of our students. This leads me to Strategy #3 under our Student Success Goal. This strategy is to "Ensure a supportive and rigorous teaching and learning environment from the classroom experience to an effective array of student support services, including personalized academic and career planning."
This strategy has 13 specific actions for 2010-2011. One of those actions is to "create a professional development platform focused on all employees understanding their roles in student success." Our plan for this action is to continue with two sessions of On Course training for spring 2011. One will be the three-day session, and one will be a two-day session designed especially for staff who may or may not be interested in teaching the student success course (GUST 0305). By February 2011, we will develop a training plan, so that all employees can complete the On Course Workshop within the next three years. However, after completing the workshop this past week, I sure would like us to find a way to accomplish this goal in a shorter timeline. The increased understanding gained by all of our employees could be that important for the College's student success agenda.
At the On Course Workshop, participants discussed how powerful it would be for these skills to be integrated into an intensive student success course for all first-time-in-college students and then for the skills to be built into the college culture and throughout the curriculum. As I listened to the other participants, it was clear that many thought this intensive and integrated approach would have the most impact on our students.
Next week, you will hear more about the other 12 actions under Strategy #3. Until then I encourage each of you to read the On Course materials at www.OnCourseWorkshop.com and to talk with someone who has already participated in the one of the three workshops. Also remember that our students are at a high stress time of the semester, so spend some time encouraging and offering some guidance.
Have a great week!

I want to go back to Holbox. I dream about this lost island, its breathtaking landscapes, its gorgeous nature and its ceviches.
Holbox, it's the end of the world but not that far. You can find a direct flight Paris-Cancùn, 2-hour drive in the jungle, 30-minute sail and there you have it: Paradise.
In Holbox, there are no cars. You go round by foot, in mini-cars or bikes. You can rent a small electric car at every street corner and drive on the island's trails, discover the forgotten beaches and untouched spots. Beware, if you're more into sport than we are, you can also find bikes everywhere, but a few have children seats.
In Holbox, seagulls come eat under your very eyes, there are pink flamingos, hammerhead sharks, rays and colorful butterflies.
In Holbox, you can eat delicious ceviches for almost nothing, guacamole is to die for and drink coconut water just fallen from the trees.
In Holbox, the sea is turquoise, the sand is super white and we nap on hammocks on the water.
In Holbox, every nights, on the village's beach, kids can rent motorbikes or mini electrical 4×4 to do it like the grown-ups, jump in giant bouncy castles or have fun in rides.
At Holbox, we sleep at the Holbox Dream Beach Front Hotel by Xperience Hotels. Paradise on sand, colorful hammocks in front of each room, wooden deck chairs under the palm-trees, fresh swimming pools in which we dive in when the kids are napping, a terrace to admire sunsets, banana pancakes for breakfast and super nice staff.

The Underwood Stakes is on the radar for popular Tasmanian galloper The Cleaner following his second straight Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes win.
The tough Mick Burles-trained gelding earned a ballot exemption into the Cox Plate for a second consecutive year with his front-running win in Saturday's Group Two race at Moonee Valley.
Burles used the JRA Cup at Moonee Valley as The Cleaner's Cox Plate lead-up last year but is looking to go down a different path to the weight-for-age championship in October this time around.
"I've got a few options but I'm looking pretty hard at the Underwood now," Burles told Melbourne's RSN radio.
"I think the horse has improved a fair bit in himself and is bigger and stronger.
"And I wouldn't mind picking up a Group One with him.
"I've got the Cranbourne Cup lined up there too if I want to have a go at that, but he might cop a bit too much weight in that."
The Group One Underwood (1800m) is at Caulfield on September 26.
The Cleaner has not won at Caulfield but has shown he can handle the track with a close second to Mourinho in the P B Lawrence Stakes last month.
Burles said after the gelding's second Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes win he would like to win a race at Caulfield to complete the set of victories on Melbourne's four tracks.
And Burles is convinced The Cleaner is bigger and stronger as an eight-year-old.
"I know everybody goes crook when I say that, but I know the horse pretty well and I think he is bigger and stronger," Burles said on Saturday.
The Cleaner is at $21 in Cox Plate markets after Saturday's convincing win.
He finished ninth in the race won by Irish horse Adelaide last year.

Comic-Con 2009: Stargate Universe
"Smallville"), who plays medic Tamara Johansen, and Elyse Levesque, who plays the character Chloe Armstrong. The conversation ranged from their thoughts on their characters, to "Battlestar Galactica," to the oh-so-dreamy Robert Pattinson, and of course, geek culture.
The funny story of their trip to the "Stargate" booth was fresh in their minds when asked about their experience at the convention thus far. "That poor girl," Levesque said. "We just didn't have the heart to tell her, to set her straight. So we just kinda went along with it."
Sympathetic, Huffman defended her. "Why would she know? Well…"
Stargate Universe: This isn't your mother's Stargate
The script was good enough for all of the actors attending the panel that day, most highly regarded by Brian J. Smith. He was especially appreciative of the complexity of the script; something that was agreed upon by all cast present. Smith also talked about how he enjoys doing research for playing a soldier, 1st Lt. Matthew Scott.
Stargate, Prisoner bode well for fall TV
In a genial panel featuring co-creators Brad Wright and Robert Cooper and most of the cast (including Carlyle, Ming-Na and the charming David Blue), the fans were told to expect a show that is darker and grittier than "Stargates" past, but with a sense of humor and hope that will keep viewers from searching for the nearest escape hatch.
According to Wright, "Stargate Universe" will also be accessible
Syfy Marketing Campaign At Comic-Con Meets With Mixed Results
Engler, however, has pushed for support of the name, and has even had some fun with the rebranding. At one point, his iPhone corrected "furling" to "furlong" during the "Stargate: Universe" panel. Engler corrected himself on Twitter and said, "No, we didn't rebrand the Furlings too!"
Stargate Universe is so dark they kill off the whole cast
(spoilers for episode if you read entire article; however top portion has a selection of photos)
We sneaked a few minutes of Dr. Nicholas Rush's time, the crazy-eyed scientist played by Robert Carlyle, and asked him if there would be any zombie homages from his past work (28 Weeks Later):
We also attended the MGM/Stargate Universe bash where I had a great time chatting with a couple of fellows from JoBlo.com and got a chance to meet Kerry O'Quinn, founder of Starlog Magazine - which was one of the things that triggered my love for Sci-Fi films.
Brad Wright Talks with CinemaSpy About 'Stargate Universe'
While at the MGM party on the rooftop of San Diego's Salomar hotel last Thursday night — where a Stargate was projected on the bottom of the pool and the SGU symbol was projected on the side of a building across the street — 'Stargate' major domo Brad Wright revealed to CinemaSpy that the third series in the 'Stargate' franchise, Stargate Universe, had an episodic budget fully $1M beyond what had been available when shooting Stargate Atlantis.
That's $1 million. It's a staggering sum to add over and above the previous show's budget. But it demonstrates the faith that MGM has in Wright, writer/producer Rob Cooper, and indeed, the 'Stargate' franchise itself.
Sanctuary Comic-Con Panel 2009
On hand for Syfy's Sanctuary panel were executive producers Martin Wood & Damian Kindler along with actors Robin Dunne (Dr. Will Zimmerman) & Amanda Tapping (Dr. Helen Magnus).
Some of the highlights pointed out in the panel were:
Two years ago, this was just an internet series, and now it's a TV series heading for season 2. No internet We'll be seeing new characters in season 2 and we're going to discover that there are sanctuaries all over the world.
Comic-Con: Is Stargate Universe the New Battlestar Galactica?
This is also not your typical Stargate. Though there is a bit of humor to it, expect the show to travel down into the rabbit hole and bring a darker side to the franchise, while upholding the integrity of the show. Says Wright, "I think there is a lot of speculation of what the show is going to be like and anticipation from fans. Many people are talking about it in terms of being darker and grittier. It really is still Stargate."
David Blue, Brian J. Smith and Jamil Walker Smith Promise Character Driven Stargate Universe
As the conversation moved on we got to learn more about Brian J. Smith who will be playing Lt. Matthew Scott. A stage actor and graduate of Julliard, Smith is a prime example of the type of talent and character actor that Rob Cooper and Brad Wright wanted to have for this series and its direction. Smith even went to
Julliard with some of the cast of True Blood, such as Rutina Wesley and Nelson Ellis.
A Dallas native, Smith was acting on the stage in New York when he got the call for SGU. Never having big television experience before, he brings a different but good quality to the series that Stargate fans may not be used to.
"I'm a theater guy," says Brian. "I thought I was a serious actor but then I got the script and saw the way the writing was and how the show would be executed and talked to Brad and Rob, that was enough for me to do it."
Surviving in the Dark: "Stargate Universe" Cast and Crew Discuss the Future of the Franchise
Helping make this transition is former Stargate: SG-1 star Richard Dean Anderson, who will recur throughout the first season of Stargate Universe, along with Amanda Tapping, another familiar face to fans of the franchise who will appear in the pilot episode.
"We've already tried to acknowledge what came before and never reset back to zero in an episode, so we didn't undo things, but we wanted the casual viewer to access the show," explained co-creator Brad Wright. "It's difficult when you get too serialized. There's no question that it does have a broader, more continuing storyline. It will reward any viewer that turns on episode five, but please start from [episode] one." He described the production as having "a different energy... It's much more hand-held and dynamic."
'Stargate: Universe' Influenced More By 'Firefly' Than 'Battlestar'
As creators Brad Wright and Richard Cooper explained, out of loyalty to the fans and in order to satiate the building anticipation of viewers, it was important to keep the latest incarnation contemporary and yet more dynamic. Thus, they incorporated a new style of hand-held cinematography, similar to what was used in "Battlestar Galactica," to heighten the drama by putting the viewer more on the front lines and set about reintroducing what the Stargate is and how it can be used -- while handicapping its abilities at the same time.
But it's not like Cooper and Wright took a page out of the "Battlestar" playbook, they said. Instead, they looked to two different shows: "Firefly" and "The Shield." The two said they wanted to create new layers of tension and drama, and integrate it into the regular Stargate formula and universe that has already been established over the last 11 years or so. That meant moving away from standard standalone stories and embracing an arcing, serialized style of storytelling
Who Won Comic Con's Buzz Wars? Our 10 Picks
This was a television franchise we weren't sure we wanted to see back again, and yet another remake/reboot that we were leery of. But this show opened our bleary eyes with its moody, weird and scary pilot. The cast, including Firefly's Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk and Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell, were snappy and fun to watch. And the old "beware of aliens bearing gifts" trope still turns out to have a decent amount of life left in it. The 4400's Scott Peters brings the right amount of paranoia to a story where the terrorists turn out to be anti-alien freedom fighters, and the media is lying to us all along. We heard several people marveling afterwards that a V remake could be so intriguing. Hollywood Reporter says the screening and panel got a strong Comic Con response."
#8: Stargate Universe
The Stargate franchise is rivaling Star Trek for number of consecutive years on the air, and number of shows with things like SG-1 or DS9 after the franchise name. So there's been some doubt as to whether SGU would be true to Stargate and feel fresh and interesting. But the new trailer got people ramped up, and the producers said the right things about keeping this show true to the franchise's traditions. And then Robert Carlyle said the thing about how everybody was going to die. And we were pretty much sold. We also overheard tons of hallway conversations from people surprised they were stoked about Stargate again. The San Diego Union Tribune calls SGU "promising" and says it's one of a few shows that prove "there could be light at the end of our sci-fi TV apocalypse."
Two members of the cast of "Sanctuary" returned from their Comic-Con adventure in San Diego to a handful of fans & autograph hounds waiting at the airport.Robin Dunne (better known to me as "Trip" on "Dead Like Me" for a couple episodes) & Amanda Tapping (also from "Stargate SG1") returned yesterday afternoon & they were more than happy to see people waiting for them. Both took time to interact with fans, chit chat a bit & sign autographs. When all the items had been signed & photos were taken, the two headed off with their
chauffer & assistants.
"Grrr. Love doing press, but bummed to be missing all the panels I was looking forward to. Iron Man2, Avatar, Chuck, etc. :("
The Stargate Universe star laments a Comic-Con spent working. -
The Stargate has been there for all three of the Comic-cons I've attended, but it's still a popular photo shoot. And most of the people who walked through it came back. For those that didn't, I think they went into the truly atrocious food offered by the Cafe Express vendors. And since when does Soylent Green cost so much?!
Comic-Con Day 3 EXCERPT:
I plant myself in the Hilton's Indigo Ballroom for the panel on the SyFy (I can't get used to writing that, but anyway) series "Sanctuary." The show in some ways is an alternate take on the "X-Men" premise, postulating that there exist numerous human beings with odd, dangerous or superior powers. A success for
SyFy, the show has a second season on the way, and healthy ratings plus critical acclaim seem to point toward continued growth for the program, which is actually rather beautifully shot and artfully conceived.
Nonetheless, five of the principal cast members are on hand to talk about "V," including "Lost" cast member Elizabeth Mitchell, "4400" actor Joel Gretsch, "Firefly" veteran Morena Baccarin, plus Morris Chestnut and Scott Wolf. All of them say that the new show pays tribute to the '83 classic -- which is still imprinted on many fans' memories after a quarter-century -- but that the original's allegorical references to World War II are replaced by a more modern subtext about the state of the world today and the threats facing humankind. Asked why the show has had enough lasting power to warrant a remake, Wolf says, "I think most of us feel it's pretty improbable that we are the only living beings in the universe, and once you believe in that, it's a short step to ask, 'What would they want?'"

Tips on Knowing the Right Time to Move.
The moment you feel stuck and uneasy, one should never worry because they are never alone. Majority of individuals feel the same way as you but they never pause to figure out what could be the problem. Some important factors help an individual to deal with this issue once and for all after uncovering the emotions and the feelings.
People get that feeling majorly because they have lived in the same city for a very long time. That same routine that is to be followed on a daily basis makes one sick and tired hence the urge to move to a new place. one needs to do research to get options before involving family conversation. It is wise that one should be keen to see the signs that deliver the message that it is time to move.
The first thing is space, for instance, you want to start a family or you already have one and the children are growing older. These are very good reasons for home expansion to a bigger living area to be comfortably accommodated by your family. A squeezed living area deprives the family members of their privacy hence being irritated.
Weather is another contributing factor for one to move, for instance, the brutal winters that make one not see sunshine for a very long time. Some of the recommended warmer places are the Florida and the apartments in the Pensacola. In this location one will enjoy sand volleyball, swimming, palm trees, and the sunshine that they desire. The weather contributes greatly to your health and well-being.
One can consider moving to a new locality when they are not happy with their current job. One will get a good job in the new city and be exposed to many opportunities to do what they ever dreamt of doing. One is recommended to look out for the job market in the new location ahead of time to be sure that there are opportunities related to your skills. It is wise to pack and move when an opportunity for the job has presented itself.
The final thing that makes one move is the dissatisfaction they receive from the place the live and this makes them feel bored all the time hence the need for the change of the environment. The individuals who love outdoors and gardening should go to the countryside while the city persons relocated to another city of their choice.
Before jumping to conclusion and making decision towards the feeling of being trapped, it is wise to look out for the possible reasons one being the place you live in. This is how one will know the time to move.

Loyola students offers a slew of coverage for Arch Madness
|March 8, 2017

Loyola students offers a slew of coverage for Arch Madness
The Rambler Sports Locker and the Loyola Phoenix ushered in March with another trip to St. Louis to cover the 2017 Arch Madness Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. This year marked the fourth time the student media organizations have covered the four-day conference.
By covering the conference, students get valuable professional experience in reporting across multi-media on deadline in a fast-paced environment.
"It's really a great experience for the students," said student media manager Ralph Braseth. "Here in a professional atmosphere, they're working with other professionals. Their expected to behave in a way that is very professional, so in that way I think it's really good for them."

This year 10 students converged upon the Scottrade Center to produce stories for print, video packages and social media. For some of the students it was their first time going to Arch Madness, but some have been several times.
"Last year we produced a lot of great videos, great content and I think we'll do it again this year," said senior Beatriz Cabanas, who returned for her second consecutive time.
In addition to writing game stories, and doing game wrap ups for the RSL YouTube channel, the student journalists also shot and edited feature packages on fans and tournament announcer Todd Thomas.
"It was really cool to speak to someone who has such a big impact on the game," said Kelsey Frew, who covered the tournament for RSL for the first time. "I really enjoyed seeing his energy from his perspective and seeing him get the fans hyped up."

The Rambler men's basketball team came into the tournament as the No. 5 seed, but was defeated in the first round by No. 4 seed Southern Illinois University 55-50.
