Thanks to our incredible sponsors, supporters and Fringe benefactors in 2018, we couldn't have done this without them! Support us by supporting them.
The Fringe in the 'Stings began as all good Fringe Festivals do, over a few drinks with good friends who agreed that Hastings was ripe for a Fringe Festival.
Not content to sit back and wait, this plucky group decided to make it happen, and The Fringe in the 'Stings was born.
Fringe in the 'Stings is run on the smell of an oily rag with help from the Hastings City Business Association. Supported by people who are as passionate as we are, in whichever way they can, whether cash, time, skills or stuff. Without them Fringe in the 'Stings would have just been one of those great ideas that disappeared when the hangover arrived.
Fringe in the 'Stings is run on the smell of an oily rag. We beg, borrow and barter to make our festival amazing for artists and audiences each year.
We are supported by people who are as passionate as we are and they help us out in whichever way they can, whether cash, time, skills or stuff.
We also need volunteers, everything from taking tickets to transporting artists. If you want to get involved we'll find a way for you to help. Just fill in the form below and we'll be in touch.


Hi, i'm going to be fitting a 9kw electric shower in my bathroom this week and was just after a bit of advice on the cable positioning. It will be a new install so all wiring and plumbing will be new.
The shower will be mounted on a tiled brick wall so I have no way of burying the cable. Is using mini trunking coming down from my loft into the top of the shower unit allowed? If not what are my other options? I dont have any spare wall tiles so removing a few and chasing the wall isn't possable.
FYI I'll be using 10mm cable, running to a 45A pull switch, then to a volex 63A 30mA RCD, 1x50A MCB shower unit.
Just to add it will be my landlord that is doing the actual wiring and signing it off, i will just be mounting the shower itself and the plumbing but want everything in place so it's just a matter of connecting the wires up.
very dangerous idea and if your landlord is an electrician he would know this, look at part p projects page and specail locations. I think you,ll be re-tiling.
I'm always telling my tenants how lucky they are to have a registered electrician as their landlord!.
What you propose to do would be ok except that a 'part-p' registered leckie must do the installation himself as that's the wording on the test certs. He will know the correct type of MCB to use and any bonding required etc.


Taking time to gather for deep rest, renewal & reclaiming the color red.
A delicious opportunity for a deep dive into self care, natural dyeing, herbalism, and really good food, awaits you April 5-7th. We will gather together for the weekend of the spring New Moon at the Beautiful North Fork 53 Retreat Center in Nehalem.
The goodness of time and space for contemplation, in an intimate and cozy home with a sauna, can help to reset during the liminal space of spring. We will immerse ourselves in nurture culture, taking time to tend to our body, mind, and spirit in the company of other women.
This weekend retreat focuses on building a robust self-care practice. By using art & story to help connect to self and nature, we will have a chance to get really clear on what helps us thrive.
The workshop is centered upon the long slow process of dyeing a red cloth using Queen Madder, an ancient plant dye who offers us many lessons.
While our cloth absorbs the magic of healing herbs and turns deep red from Queen Madder herself, we will hold space for contemplation, creating new moon intentions, talking, movement, journaling, sauna and spending time in the beauty of the Oregon Coast.
For those who are interested pelvic steaming sessions led by practitioner Kestrel Gates will be knit into the schedule..
The Spring 2019 Red Tent retreat takes place in Nehalem, on the Oregon Coast. Organic farm to table meals will be provided. Rooms are shared. Open to women at all stages of life. Sign up with a friend and receive a small gift.
$425 includes workshop with materials, food, lodging.

Dr Meaker – Fighter single review
The latest band to spring from the Bristol talent pool.
Lucy Christian
Continuing the steady flow of talent pouring in from the South West, Fighter is the latest single to come from striking drum and bass band Dr Meaker.
A surprisingly uplifting track, with the aid of vocals supplied by Lorna King, Fighter has garnered a fair amount of high profile support and consistent critical acclaim from the likes of Radio 1, 1Xtra and 6Music.
Combining spirit-stirring strings, ultra tight beats, gnarly bass and soulful vocals, this track looks primed to appeal to anyone with an ear for a strong tuneful backbone and not just fans of the genre.
As the third single release from the group, consisting of producer Clive Meaker (producer, keyboards & vocals), Lorna King (vocals), Tom Wheeler (Drums), Dexter Edmund – DJ (Bass), Jon Winder (Trumpet) and Ben Wood (Sax), Fighter looks set to be their most successful offering to date, having broken into the mainstream arena.
As drum and bass continues its ninja style attack on our consciousness, let's hope this band of Bristolians can keep up the good work.

Louisiana Audit Faults Vallas for Use of State-Owned Car
The superintendent of the Recovery School District misused his state-owned vehicle, driving it on personal trips that included dozens of visits to family members in Illinois and along the Gulf Coast, according to an audit released last week.
Paul Vallas used public funds for gasoline on personal trips, and the state paid the insurance claim for an accident that Mr. Vallas had while driving the state-owned Dodge Durango in Illinois, said the report released by Legislative Auditor Steve Theriot.
State administrative code prohibits the use of a state vehicle for personal use. Mr. Vallas said he was told by Louisiana Superintendent of Education Paul G. Pastorek that he could use the car for nonbusiness travel, and Mr. Pastorek told auditors he wasn't aware of the legal prohibition.
Mr. Vallas no longer drives the state-owned car.

Ehhh... I don't know about the shadows yet. I'm not used to the formula. It's thick and sticky, kind of like a waterproof eyeliner. It has decent pigmentation, but if you apply it too thickly, it crinkles and flakes off. Most of the duochrome effect disappears when the shadow dries, though it looks very duochromey when first applied.
Sephora Astral Lip Glaze in Mauvewood.
Now this I like. Maybe even love. This isn't an accurate representation of the base color (cause I had to take it at night with flash), but it really shows off the green pearl. The duochrome effect is definitely noticeable and the formula is thicker and longer lasting than the last Sephora + Pantone gloss set I bought.
Sephora Astral Lip Glaze in Chrysanthemum (natural light, flash).
I don't notice as much two-tone/duochrome flash in this on the lips as I do with Mauvewood, but I can make out lots of different colors of shimmer within the gloss. Silver, blue, green, pink. Shiny and iridescent but perfectly small and smooth. This is a really good color on my skintone, too.
So far I'm really, really liking the glosses but I need more practice with the shadows. They feel weird on my eyelids and they flake off look chunky after they dry. I wish they were pressed powder or loose pigment instead so I could use my own mixing medium with them!
So pretty! I love both of the lip glazes!
This lip gloss is really amazing!!!
The colour of that shadow is amazing!


The world was enveloped by an immense spiritual power, and an oppressive spiritual energy was spreading in waves, causing the entire space to be in great turbulence. The massive dark shadow stood like a demon, giving off a palpable pressure and a chilling aura.
Around the square, countless strong men's expressions changed, due to the power that burst out of Qiu Taiyin's body. Everyone could feel that such power and pressure was far beyond a Fourth Grade Sovereign. As such, it had truly advanced into the rank of a Fifth Grade Sovereign!
Many strong characters were secretly shocked, this Qiu Taiyin had already completed the breakthrough, so it was no wonder that he was hell-bent on attaining the rank of the tenth lord.
Mu Chen's and Nine Nether's faces became grave at the same time. Their eyebrows were knit, as they knew how troublesome things would become once Qiu Taiyin was really a Fifth Grade Sovereign.
This would mean that Qiu Taiyin was qualified to attain the title of lord! Moreover, with his ability of a Fifth Grade Sovereign, he could easily dominate any top power who was beneath the Nine Lords.
A glint flashed across Mandela's large golden eyes, as she looked down on the battlefield. However, her small face remained as passive as a god that was looking down on mortals.
In her eyes, whether Qiu Taiyin was a Fourth or Fifth Grade Sovereign, he was still as inferior as an ant to her. In fact, if it wasn't for her fear of shaking the Daluo Territory armies' morale before the Great Hunting War, she would have destroyed him brutally! However, at the moment, Mandela was obviously unable to do so.
On the Platform of Bestowing Lordship, Qin Zhong also looked at Qiu Taiyin, a powerful oppression surging from the latter. It made him feel quite pressured.
Although he had touched the rank of Fifth Grade Sovereign, he was still a step away from the real breakthrough. So, in a situation where both sides were equally powerful, this step made a big difference!
"Give up! You don't stand a chance." Qiu Taiyin crossed his arms in front of his chest, then smiled at Qin Zhong.
Qin Zhong's face changed, then he immediately took a deep breath. Yet, there was no sign of him admitting defeat. No matter how low the probability of his winning was, he would not throw in the towel.
Qin Zhong looked at Qiu Taiyin, his face becoming increasingly solemn. Immediately, he slowly clenched his palms. Suddenly, a glittering jade light burst out of his palms, and the Jade Tripod Celestial Body at his feet dazzled with a brilliant light. The crowd paid close attention now, as they could tell that Qin Zhong intended to give this meeting his all!
"How obstinate." Qiu Taiyin narrowed his eyes and shook his head, then murmured lowly under his breath.
The brilliant jade light almost enshrouded half of the sky! Soon after, the jade light condensed in the sky above Qin Zhong at an astonishing speed. It then transformed into a huge ancient white jade tripod.
The ancient tripod was carved with mysterious ancient symbols and runes. As the runes twinkled, it looked like a wind tunnel, which absorbed the spiritual power between the heavens and the earth. A powerful oppressive aura permeated the entire atmosphere.
Although Qin Zhong had yet to thoroughly advance into the rank of Fifth Grade Sovereign, his strength could not be underestimated. Such powerful means as his were extraordinarily fierce!
"Jade Tripod Divine Art, Heavenly Tripod Transforming the Galaxy!"
Qin Zhong's eyes burst with jade light, and his roar reverberated like a thunderbolt. As soon as his conjured seals changed, his spiritual energy surged out, pouring into the massive tripod.
The giant tripod soared directly to the sky, then turned into a huge and unparalleled jade-colored torrent. It swept across the vast sky and the space shattered into pieces suddenly, sending numerous brilliant jade-colored lights floating in the sky. It looked like a brilliant galaxy!
Countless strong men were all looking at the impactful blow gravely. This was Qin Zhong's strongest attack by far! Such an attack was enough to kill any strong man of his own rank.
However, when the jade torrent surged towards him, Qiu Taiyin merely looked indifferent, a cold glint flashing through his gloomy eyes. He then raised his head, the majestic jade torrent reflecting in his pupils.
"I'll show you how significant the difference is between you and a true Fifth Grade Sovereign!" Qiu Taiyin smiled indifferently, then raised his right hand slowly. His whole arm grew dark at an astonishing speed, as the thick black liquid condensed and dripped down.
At his feet, the massive Lunar Celestial Body also vibrated, while numerous black beams of light burst out of the Sovereign Celestial Body, before quickly converging at the fingertips of Qiu Taiyin.
The black beams of light condensed rapidly. After a few moments, a black crescent moon, about 100 feet in size, formed on Qiu Taiyin's fingertips. Around the crescent moon, there was an endless amount of chilling aura that was emanating from it. Even the air was frozen to coagulation.
Drops of black liquid flowed along the black crescent moon. When it dripped down, it directly corroded and pierced through the entire space. It then disappeared, a sign of how terrifyingly corrosive it truly was!
"Lunar Divine Art, Lunar Moon!"
A nonchalant voice came from Qiu Taiyin's mouth, and with a flick of his finger, the black crescent moon, which emitted a terrible cold aura, penetrated the space directly. It then collided brutally with the jade torrent that was sweeping towards it!
The sound of the collision was like two streams of torrential floods, pouring down a mountain, then crashing into each other frantically. The impact felt as if the heavens and the earth were shaking.
Countless powerful men looked up, their eyes locked onto the land where the collision had happened. There, the space was twisted and was distorting violently, as the crescent moon and the torrent were releasing their energies frantically, trying to destroy each other.
However, in this confrontation, it was obvious that Qiu Taiyin gradually had gained the upper hand. The chilling black aura was corroding and invading the jade torrent, as shards of black ice started to form on it. Qin Zhong's pallor turned increasingly pale.
"As I said, you are no match for me." Qiu Taiyin's lips, like a blade of a knife, curled into an arc of a sneer. Immediately, his eyes were cold, while his seals suddenly changed.
The chilling aura that was surrounding the black crescent moon suddenly surged, then turned into a faint glow that swept across the sky. The jade-colored torrent was torn and shattered apart, exploding into spots of light.
When the jade torrent disintegrated, Qin Zhong's face paled, as he spurt out a mouthful of blood. Qiu Taiyin's eyes were cold. Then, his body suddenly disappeared! At the same time, a black spear was condensed in the giant hand of the Lunar Celestial Body that was under his feet. With a whoosh, the spear had pierced through the void!
The black spear penetrated into the Jade Tripod Celestial Body at the speed of lightning. The chilling black aura permeated the space, while a layer of black ice spread out on the surface of the Jade Tripod Celestial Body. Qin Zhong's expression twisted drastically.
"Worry about yourself first!" A cold voice rang out from the front, as a ghostly figure flashed out. Qiu Taiyin's eyes glanced at Qin Zhong sharply, and as he spoke, the power of a swift and fierce kick was delivered, looking as if it was carrying the power to shatter mountains! It landed on Qin Zhong's chest.
Qin Zhong was dealt with a hard blow. As he spurt out a few mouthfuls of blood, his body fell from the sky like a cannonball.
As Qin Zhong was in distress, the Jade Tripod Celestial Body completely shattered and turned into light spots, totally dissipating. The world was then quiet, and countless strong men looked at the scene, shocked.
Who could have imagined that Qin Zhong would lose so quickly? How embarrassing!
The eyes of the lords also turned grave. The strength of Qiu Taiyin was indeed not to be underestimated.
Mu Chen and Nine Nether's eyebrows were knit tightly. Qin Zhong was really no match for Qiu Taiyin.
Under the gaze of countless eyes in the crowd, the Lunar Celestial Body at the foot of Qiu Taiyin faded away. He folded his arms in front of his chest and descended slowly, landing on the platform.
He looked indifferently at the seriously injured Qin Zhong, whose body had been invaded by the chilling Lunar aura that had been dealt by the kick. The chill had rendered Qin Zhong immobile. The result of this battle was clearly evident.
After defeating Qin Zhong, Qiu Taiyin looked directly at the direction where Mandela sat. His face appeared to be respectful, as he bent over and clasped his fist and said, "Dominator, can we declare the result of this Battle of Bestowing Lordship?"
As soon as he said this, there many strange gazes were cast in the direction of Mu Chen, as everyone knew that Mu Chen was the third person qualified to be crowned lord. Now, Qiu Taiyin's behavior was clearly disregarding him!
Obviously, Qiu Taiyin did not think that Mu Chen could pose any threat to his being crowned lord. Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen's expression remained calm, but still pursed his lips lightly.
"Mu Chen... Let's forget it." Behind him, Tang Bing hesitated for a moment, then whispered. After seeing Qiu Taiyin's overwhelming power, she could not help but worry about Mu Chen.
Now that Qiu Taiyin had really entered the rank of a Fifth Grade Sovereign, unless Nine Nether battled him personally, no one in the entire Jiuyou Palace would likely be capable enough to be his opponent.
"The 200,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, we'll just treat it as Nine Nether Palace's sponsorship of you," Tang Bing added.
Nine Nether also knit her brows. Looking at Mu Chen, she whispered, "Even Qin Zhong is not his opponent, so if you want to go, I'm afraid your odds of winning are not high."
She still had some knowledge of Mu Chen's strength, but Qiu Taiyin was not someone Mu Chen, a Third Grade Sovereign, could deal with. The world was quiet, and everybody's eyes were fixed on Mu Chen. Even Mandela, who sat on the golden throne, had her golden eyes on him.
It seemed that everyone was waiting for Mu Chen's response. Under the watchful gazes of countless men, Mu Chen also took a deep breath, then immediately smiled. In that smile, he showed no tinge of fear at all.
Looking at Mu Chen's smile, Nine Nether and Tang Bing already knew his decision. In a flash, Mu Chen appeared on the Platform of Bestowing Lordship, where everyone's eyes were currently focused. He then smiled at Qiu Taiyin and clasped his fist, as a clear voice rang out in the air, immediately causing the crowd to burst into an uproar.

Poll of the Week: Summer Changes
By BigTed3
May 16, 2015 in General Habs Archives
1. What change or move do you most hope the summer will bring for the Habs?
Michel Therrien replaced by Mike Babcock
Alex Galchenyuk becomes Max Pacioretty's center
Acquisition of a top 6 winger
Re-signing of Jeff Petry
There are plenty of active issues for the Habs to deal with in the summer, now that the season has officially wrapped up. What's at the top of your list in terms of priorities?
Guest Regis2
MT replaced by someone
AG gets to play centre ( sorry DD ), sounds like it's what he wants
Top six winger would eb nice but every team wants one.
Signing JP would also be nice but I think he's going to pull a Vanek and go home. So let's give NB , GP and JT and chance
PAPPAPUMPED
Tryout / Joueur à l'essai
Location:St.Catharines,Ontario,Canada
Interests:Montreal Canadiens!!!
The style of play that the Habs use is not suited for the Habs period.The dump & chase style is low percentage & the likely-hood of puck possession is low .
In my opinion Therrien should develop a puck possession style keep the puck more than giving it up .
As far as adding talented players ie: big talented power Centers well this is something that must be done through our draft & prospects we have in our system now .
A coaching change is not going to happen as MB stated as much in his news conference but I think Babcock would be a perfect fit, it is known that Babcock loves the City of Montreal/McGill University his former educational institution .
In no uncertain terms the Habs need to bring in a system/players to develop more offence period, 2.06 goals per game % in the play-offs is not going to get the job done period .
Regular season means squat if our Habs cannot get the job done in the post-season !
Go Habs Go !!!!

Actually, the options are listed in ascending order of improbability .
Sorry, I meant descending order.
None of those are even possible except for Petry... or a very poor version of a top 6 forward
All of them are possible, despite the fact they may not happen. If I had to put odds on each, I'd say chances of Therrien being fired were 2%, Galchenyuk moving to center about 25%, acquiring another top 6 winger at about 40%, and re-signing Petry at 50%.
But in any case, the question is what you hope to see, not what you think will happen, so feel free to wish away...
Guest habs1952
In my mind, we need to score more so I picked a top 6 winger but I also would have voted for "All of the above".
I chose the Therrien option. In my view, so long as Therrien is head coach, we're never going to sort out the lines nor is it going to make much difference for us to acquire a top 6 forward. We've all seen Therrien play potential top 6 players like Briere, PAP, and Sekac in the lower half of the line-up, so I don't have confidence that just acquiring one will mean we'll use that player correctly. I do think re-signing Petry is a priority as well and can make a big difference to our team going forward, but replacing Therrien can have a more widespread effect than any one player, in my view.

I voted for Therrien being gone; if that happens, I think Galchenyuk at center will (likely) be a given.

Fire MT..did I mention fire MT
CaptWelly
I believe we need the top six winger most. I would to keep Petry that would really solidify our D. I have no problem with Terrien I think he got a lot out of this group. We played they way we needed in the playoffs when it counted. We out played Tampa in 4 of the six games. Game 2 we imploded but I don't think that was Terriens fault. We have a young group and still need a little more depth. We couldn't finish (but hitting 11 post we didn't have much puck luck either). Chucky at center we'll see. Like MB said in Sarnia they did move him to the wing and that was his best year so we'll see. The NHL is different from Juniors , I hope he can make the jump. Trade Eller get a top six winger.(but i don't see any team giving a top six for Eller)
kinot-1
Ted,,, where's the "All of the above" option? The way I see it is that we need an "all of the above" option. . As long as MT remains coach, he will stifle any up and coming player's development. Gally-A has already said the he prefers to play center, but, MT just doesn't want to give him that opportunity. I would hope that if/when MT goes, he will take Lefebvre with him (and by extension the whole coaching staff, except for Stephane Waite). . I can't imagine how MT would treat McCarran. Ya know,,, big center,, scores a lot,,, gets into the dirty areas. And what about Hudon, top rookie in the Q? I REALLY hope MT is gone by the time these players are ready.
The PP coach should have been fired 4 months ago.
much like we had to trade moen to circumvent MT , the biggest move this offseason needs to be trading DD.
He could easily keep him and just use him properly but the reality is as long as MT is the coach, its not happening, and as long as its not happening, the team will look like it does.
next year things should either look like this:
patch-chuck-gally
??-plek-PAP/DSP
patch-plek-pap
as much as I want to see chucky at centre, I really dont mind option B. What is clear is that DD can't be a go to forward anymore, and not only that our remaining forward corps is very weak.
I have this horrible feeling that we change nothing. thats what my gut is telling me. the only silver lining to that is if we play next season the way we did this, we very possibly miss the playoffs altogether which would definitely spark the changes we should be seeing now.

I agree. ultimately, i would like to see all of the items on the above list come to fruition but I dont necessarily believe they will (although I know part of MB's presser is PR).
Assuming Therrien isnt replaced (which, ultimately, would be my first choice) I believe that moving DD out of the equation would have huge effects. Either Galchenyuk or Eller would have to be in our top 6 full time and either would be a welcome addition.
If there was one thing I would hope that MB would do, on a team that supposedly prides itself on character and being a 'family' would be to have post-season interviews, one on one, with MB. No Therrien or other management there, just the player & MB and they would be expected to be honest in their concerns and expectations. I suspect that he would find out some stuff (and trends) he was not aware of. Very few GMs go to the trouble of doing this but it can be a huge factor in developing a stronger team bond and, more importantly, help the GM to see what he may not otherwise see and make better/different decisions going forward.
A coach that it is in touch with today's NHL and who is flexible enough to adjust his style to his personnel.
There is no "all of the above"... I think a large majority of people would want multiple choices or all of the choices, so that's not an interesting question. The question is which of those is a priority for you this year.

Replacing Therrien has the most positive impact across the board, so that's a pretty easy choice for me. Unfortunately, it seems Bergevin doesn't understand the situation. So if I'm being realistic, I'd like to resign Petry, but I also don't see that happening. I'm a bit pessimistic about all of these, really.
Sure change questions in mid-thread .
Bearing in mind that we now have to reboot our thoughts,,, I'll pick a top 6 winger, as that might help Patches, and our PP, both at the same time.
Never changed the question... it always read "most hoped" (as in what do you want the most of the list)...

Voted for Babcock because that's the pipe dream that I think would be most impactful for the team. I don't really think the roster is all that bad, it doesn't stack up to Chicago and LA but in the East I don't really see any roster that's hands down better than Montreal's. Without Petry I'd say TB and NYR have better rosters, and NYI are improving, PIT will always be a threat, and BOS still have strong core players, but I don't see a roster in the East that's just flat out better than Montreal's.
I look at our last two deadline acquisitions, Petry and Vanek. Both addressed a glaring team need for a top 4 D and a genuine top 6 sniper. Both guys were great to have, and Petry was fantastic, but neither of them were enough to right the ship and fix the team. When you have Pacioretty, Eller, and Plekanec all on separate lines, and can always have one of Markov, Subban, Beaulieu, Gilbert, or Petry on the ice, I just wonder how much more you can expect. Pacioretty is an elite possession driver and an elite goal scorer. Plekanec is still a very high end possession forward. Eller's strong too. Gallagher is great. Subban is maybe the best D in the world. Markov, Petry, Gilbert, and Beaulieu are all high end puck movers. There really isn't any excuse for them to be all getting dominated possession wise.
Sure, it would be nice to have better players, but I just don't know how much more you can reasonably do to the roster before addressing coaching. Adding a Vanek type, Jagr, Vrbata, St. Louis, trading for Sharp, trading for Kessel, re signing Petry,or signing Mike Green are all nice ideas but they're ultimately window dressing. If Pacioretty, Subban, Plekanec, Eller, Markov, Gallagher, Beaulieu, Petry, Gilbert, and Galchenyuk aren't enough for the team to have a strong possession game, that isn't going to change if we swap Parenteau for Jagr or Vrbata, or re sign Petry.

All of the Hab fan's collective hope for a head coach replacement will not change the fact that it isn't happening this summer. As said by others, if you can't oust the coach then hope he changes to a more puck possession style system. Unfortunately this was not one of the choices in the poll, so I voted for a top 6 forward. More goal scoring depth at the front is required, hopefully it is someone that will stay healthy and take the opposition's defensive concentration off of Pacman, Subban, Galchenyuk, & ...
The regretful thing about the Babcock hire is this: if he was willing to go to Toronto, he was likely willing to come here. In fact, I think it was Pierre LeBrun who commented that Babcock was holding out to see if Montreal would offer him an interview/job. But if you look at Toronto, you have a Canadian market, a team with a lot of money, a media and fanbase that are highly involved and unforgiving... essentially all the same things you would have here. Throw in that Montreal has a better goalie (whom Babcock himself called the best player in the league), a better roster, a better chance of winning, and is a city he's already lived in, and you really have to believe he would have chosen us over TO if he was given the choice. The only aspect that would be different would be expectations, in that Babcock has less to lose walking onto a club with terrible finishes for years. But on the other hand, you could argue that Therrien's faults as a coach are known throughout the league and have been the focus of a lot of stories this year, so Babcock could still easily have impressed as a cut above his predecessor pretty easily here. All this to say that we lost out on Babcock and that it really appears Bergevin didn't even look into the possibility of improving the biggest weakness on his team. Shame on the GM.

I agree with all of this. Especially the timing. I am sure he was waiting to at least see if they would talk.
All this to say that we lost out on Babcock and that it really appears Bergevin didn't even look into the possibility of improving the biggest weakness on his team. Shame on the GM.
Without knowing for sure, I cant make that judgement on Bergevin. Its entirely possible they did speak. Unlike St Louis (who let it slip despite having a coach under contract!) we may have just been better at keeping on the down-low.
Like you, I fully believe that if we had wanted/offered Babcock the job, he'd be our new coach. So that says (for whatever reason, money, fit, language etc) we most likely decided that we didnt want him. But why?
What i just dont understand is this: Bergevin's moves and his thought process speak of a man who knows his hockey. How does he not see Therrien's faults? It screams of a guy who turns a blind-eye to the problems because they are friends but that makes no sense because Bergevin has clearly had no trouble making moves that are unpopular if he thinks it helps the club. He seems to genuinely think Therrien is our best option which seems very odd to me.
Actually, we do know that Bergevin never approached Babcock. Detroit had to give permission to teams to talk to Babcock and they had to sign a waiver agreeing to compensation for getting the early jump. And the media reported that the Wings gave permission to Toronto, St. Louis, Buffalo, and I don't remember if there was a 4th one but it wasn't Montreal. Several media members stated they had it on record that no other teams had asked for permission. So it's not like Montreal could have spoken to Babcock freely and behind closed doors - Detroit would have had to have known about it, and they released the other team names, including Stl, who technically still have Hitchcock under contract. So all evidence points to Bergevin not even looking into it. The only question is whether Babcock had interest in interviewing here; that part of it is speculation, but Lebrun reported he wanted to (and is a pretty reliable source) and as I pointed out, Montreal's main disadvantages (media, lack of anonymity in public, Canadian funds and taxes, etc.) are the same problems you hit in Toronto, so it wouldn't make sense to scratch one team off the list entirely while choosing the other. So either Bergevin is all-in on Therrien and blind to his faults or else he's clinging to the language thing at the expense of talent, both of which are pretty inexcusable faults.

Gold Cup Today: Costa Rica face Jamaica, El Salvador vs. Canada — Day 2
By Joe Prince-WrightJul 8, 2015, 3:05 PM EDT
After a hard-fought Day 1 in the Gold Cup which saw the U.S. beat Honduras 2-1 and Haiti surprisingly tie Panama 1-1, we are all set for Group B to begin.
[ LIVE: 2015 Gold Cup updates ]
Costa Rica are the heavy favorites to emerge from Group B, as Los Ticos look to kick on under new boss Paulo Wanchope and regain the form which saw them reach the World Cup quarterfinals in Brazil last summer. They Face Jamaica in their opening group game at the StubHub Center in California, while Canada will fancy its chances against El Salvador in the later game.
Below is a brief primer on what to expect from both games, while you can follow the action live by clicking on the link above.
Game 3: Costa Rica vs. Jamaica
When: Tuesday, 8 p.m. EST
Where: StubHub Center, Carson, CA
Live updates: NBCSports.com
Fresh off the back of signing for Sporting Lisbon from Fulham, Costa Rica's captain Bryan Ruiz will be eager to prove his worth. The midfielder will try and link up with Arsenal forward Joel Campbell to cause Jamaica all kinds of problems in the final third. Also, watch out for Celso Borges breaking things up in midfield. He's key to Costa Rica's success and so is goalkeeper Keylor Navas but the Real Madrid man is missing through injury. As for the Reggae Boyz, they gave a good account of themselves at the Copa America last month but were eliminated at the group stage as they lost 1-0 to Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. There are plenty of players from MLS and the English leagues in Jamaica's squad as Vancouver's Darren Mattocks will be a livewire up front.
Game 4: El Salvador vs. Canada
When: Tuesday, 10:30 p.m. ET
This game is massive in terms of who will end up advancing into the quarterfinals. Canada and El Salvador are, on paper, the weaker teams in the group. Whoever win this will put themselves in a great position to advance. Canada has won four games on the spin, albeit against weak opposition, going into this one. That streak, plus a draw against Iceland, will give Benito Flores' side plenty of confidence and if Orlando City's Cyle Larin is on his game, this could be a comfortable victory for Les Rouges.

Your lender has agreed to write off your debts - or has it? A cautionary tale
When settling an existing debt with a lender, it is important to ensure that the intention of both parties is clear and that you have taken all the necessary steps to ensure the full discharge of the debt in question.
If you are dealing with a lender's representative (or agent), it is vital that they have the necessary authority to write off such debts on behalf of the lender. Borrowers beware – this responsibility falls to you.
In a recent High Court case, Stavrinides and others v Bank of Cyprus Public Company Ltd ([2019] EWHC 1328 (Ch)), it was held that the bank's relationship manager (the "Agent") had no actual or ostensible authority to write off a borrower's debts, notwithstanding that the Agent had provided a letter from the bank (albeit initialed by the Agent) agreeing to do so.
The issues before the court
The write-off in question arose under an agreement by way of letter. This stated that the bank would write off over £3 million of secured debt upon payment by the Claimants of £1.65 million, in full and final settlement of all its existing indebtedness to the bank (the "Agreement").
In this case, Mr Stavrinides and two of the companies under his control (the "Claimants") sought either:
an order for specific performance (the performance of a contractual duty) to force the bank to honour the terms of the Agreement; or
damages for breach of the Agreement.
There was a dispute as to who had executed and initialled the Agreement, and over the manner in which the Agreement had been authorised by the bank. The Deputy Judge considered this in detail and agreed with the bank that the Agreement was "a forgery and that [the Agent] did not have actual authority to agree the terms of the apparent agreement set out it in it".
The bank's General Manager was permitted to write off debts of up to £10,000, although approvals to write off any sums above that amount required higher authority. The contents of the Agreement had never been discussed with the General Manager, nor had higher approval had been sought.
Further, the Deputy Judge also commented that, based on the knowledge of the Claimants as to the bank's usual approval processes (which had not been followed) and the quantum of the write off being sought, it was unreasonable for them to rely on the ostensible authority of the Agent. The Claimants had made no enquiries as to the Agent's authority regarding the Agreement and they were aware from past dealings that higher authority was required for significant decisions - at least from the bank's General Manager and often from higher level.
It was held that the Agent had no actual or ostensible authority to write off the Claimants' debts to the bank.
The Deputy Judge commented that, even if the Claimants had made enquiries as to the authority of the Agent, they should not have relied upon these enquiries. As a long standing client of the bank, they were fully aware of the usual approval process. The fact that the Agreement proposed to write off such a large amount of debt was enough to put the Claimants on notice of the Agent's lack of authority – it would have been surprising and extraordinary for an Agent to have such authority.
The bank's counterclaim for sums due on the Claimants' accounts succeeded, rendering the Claimants liable for sums in excess of over £5 million (in addition to the £1.65 million paid in purported settlement under the Agreement).
Jonathan Porteous, Head of Banking and Finance at Stevens & Bolton, comments that, although the facts of the Stavrinides case are somewhat more colourful than those in a typical write-off scenario, the case provides an important reminder to borrowers to ensure that if there is any doubt as to the authority of a lender's representative, or if there is a diversion from the usual protocol followed by that lender, it is best practice to request proof of authority and/or direct agreement with the lender to avoid any uncertainty.

As a roaster, I was offended the first few years when people would ask why I did not have Hazelnut or Vanilla flavored coffee. Sometimes they would refuse to even try it without first adding cream and sugar. I would have strongly preferred that they, at least, TRY my coffee unadulterated. Was that too much to ask? I mean really! Then I got over myself.
While I have persuaded some flavored-coffee junkies to try my roasts without any additions, and turned them into pure coffee drinkers, there still exists a population that loves their flavored coffees. No matter how much attention we pay to buying the best beans from the best plantations, handcrafted roasting, quality control, creating exciting blends, or showcasing an amazing single origin, blah blah blah…there are always going to be people that prefer their coffee to be flavored.
I realized the coffee industry was much broader than just coffee itself. From the beginning it has included other things, such as spices and brew techniques …all in an effort to continually improve the experience of one of the world's most treasured traditions, to keep it relevant in everchanging times, and keep it that way for nearly a millennium.
As coffee professionals, we are already sold on how special coffee itself is. While the continual efforts of proper growing, processing, and roasting techniques will always remain the essential staple of our industry, the quest for coffee shops to stand apart to draw new customers will always be the catapult to make coffee interesting and new to the masses. In other words, we must start with the base of a superior product always, but the creativity and presentation is what keeps our product interesting through the generations. The retail side of the business is mainly responsible for the marketing and presentation of our product to the world. It is vital for them to always be looking for new ways to prepare and present it. They must pay attention to health, food, and social trends, as well as develop new recipes and offer the best brewing techniques.
This was even relevant in the very beginning of coffee history. Coffee, as we know it today, was introduced during the era of the Spice Trade. Cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, etc- all were and are simple delicious spices that make you feel at home. In those days, different countries were known for their signature drink, and still are today. Some recipes were pure coffee. Others added spices and creams. Rules existed for some that you must not boil your coffee, others said you must boil your coffee. Some had finer grounds than others. Nowadays, we know what basic processes bring out the best in our black gold. It starts at origin with the growing and processing techniques, then on to the proper roasting style. The retailers find the greatest beans of choice and then are at the helm to create their own unique recipe. Brew style is very important in an effort to showcase the purest form of the bean. Those qualities will draw repeat customers. They do notice, by the way, even the most novice ones. However, what will get them through the door to begin with? Recipes and presentation.
Our industry is forever inventive. We are definitely keeping the party going into this new millennium! Customers see advertisements of beautifully presented lusciousness and have no choice but to try it…then get hooked. Hundreds of flavored syrups in bottles, powders in bags, liqueurs, fruit, herbs, and spices exist as coffee drink ingredients. Some are used more than others. With the organic and whole foods trend sweeping our nation, I wonder sometimes if coffee consumers would appreciate a modern twist on the original simple spices that have been with coffee since its inception. Sometimes a step back in time is a step forward. The old becomes new. Something to think about.


Fresh from Oregon means fresh from my own garden. I planted a big barrel of Mojito mint and it is ready to harvest. So what to make with all this mint … Fresh From Oregon Mint Mojito Jelly. This is great served as a condiment with pork or lamb but I like to just spoon it over a block of cream cheese and serve it with crackers. Great recipe to preserve the Fresh From Oregon taste you can enjoy throughout the whole year. It also makes a quick and easy treat for unexpected guest who stop by, enjoy!
Bruise mint leaves a bit with a fork or by twisting. Add to the water in a saucepan. Boil over high heat until reduced by half to 4 cups of liquid. Strain and discard the leaves. To the water add the box of powdered pectin and stir until dissolved. Add the sugar and fresh lime juice. Bring to a boil. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim foam of the top if any. I add a few drops of green food coloring to make it a little more greener. Ladle into sterilized jars and process for 10 minutes in a hot water canner.


A fiduciary responsibility and international trust were set up. Settlers could live on our land and never own it. It was rental payment. The fiduciary obligation does not conflict with Indigenous title. They co-exist together and cannot be repealed. There is no mechanism to give up our inherent rights. Only murder or assimilation of every Indigenous person would jeopardize our tie to Onowaregeh. As long as one walks across the territory, it is Indigenous land.
An independent neutral third party is required to fairly settle issues between us and Canada concerning our land, resources and ever-growing $60 trillion Indian Trust Fund.
This third party adjudication procedure was established by the Mohegan in 1704 concerning a land dispute between them and the settlers in Connecticut. The Mohegan applied to the Court of Queen Anne and were granted an impartial third party adjudication. Colonial governments of British North America could not legally adjudicate this or any dispute as they are one of the parties. This follows the two row of honor, respect and non-interference.
Canada deals only with their corporate Indian band and tribal councils, not with our true sovereign governments. Indigenous people should ask about the deals being made on our behalf by these corporate Indians. They and the Assembly of First Nations AFN represent only their followers. The traditional people are independent, have our own laws and chose our own representatives.
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides that Canada has no say on how we govern ourselves: "All people have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development". Canada undermines our governments. We are held hostage. Canada owes us and wants to deal only with their band council nominees.
AFN pretends that we are part of the corporation of Canada. They have no jurisdiction over us and our land. AFN betrays us every day and sells out our inherent right to self-government for because they are in an advanced stage of the "owistah" disease. We Indigenous nations have a right to deal with all issues of common concern. The settlers have violated the Royal Proclamation of 1763. We are thus illegally occupied. If they allow this theft to continue, they are complicit in the genocide.
Iroquois attempted to join League of Nation 1923.
I agree with this post. My maternal ancestors, the Sinixt Arrow Lakes Nation, were to be protected by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 as were all indigenous nations in North America. The Crown recognized our "nation" status and ordered that our people were not to be molested yet George Washington said he didn't have to follow that order and Canada certainly did not follow it. This country, our motherland, belongs to the indigenous peoples as it did on the day the one true Sovereign Creator Life Giver assigned it to us to take care of. Further, my maternal rights to land and life as a Sinixt on our motherland in southeast British columbia are just as solid as they were for my maternal ancestors and the 1956 declaration that we are extinct is a Canadian fantasy. We join with all relative nations in the quest for recognition and respect.

Anthony Joshua's hotly anticipated re-match with Andy Ruiz Jr takes place this weekend.
Joshua looks to avenge his seventh round TKO defeat to the Mexican-American when the pair meet for a second time this year in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.
Both fighters will weigh-in outside the Al Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh on Friday afternoon.
Joshua and Ruiz Jr are expected to hit the scales from around 1pm (UK time) or 4pm local time.

The weigh-in will be streamed live on Sky Sports Boxing's official YouTube account.
With the re-match initially expected to take place in Cardiff or New York, Matchroom controversially chose Saudi Arabia as the venue for the contest.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki al-Saud, chairman of the country's General Sports Authority and a member of the ruling House of Saud has been tasked with changing the image of the country through sport following concerns over human rights issues.
