Lime ...“to hang around idly” or “to go out on thetown.”Source: The Dictionary of Virgin Islands EnglishCreole by the late educator and historian Lito Valls.The Limin’ Times brings you all the news aboutwhen and where to “lime” in the British VirginIslands.

By John Crook

The BBC has been playing its cards very close tothe vest in the run-up to the new season of DoctorWho, which premieres Saturday, Aug. 23, on BBCAmerica.

That’s not really anything new, since the Britishnetwork understandably views the international culthit as a flagship property, and it’seven more understandable in thiscase, since five scripts accidentallygot leaked online just a matter ofweeks ago. (The security lapseapparently happened when thescripts were sent to the BBC’s newLatin American headquarters inMiami for translation).

In any case, these newepisodes are attracting specialbuzz not so much for their plotpoints, but because they feature a new incarnation ofthe Doctor, now played by Scottish actor PeterCapaldi. His character, a time-traveling space alien, isancient in age, but periodically undergoes “regenera-tion” from one physical form to another.

It’s a neat conceptual hook that has allowed aseries of actors to play the title role since the showoriginally premiered in 1963. Not counting John

Questions swirl as ‘Doctor Who’ begins its new seasonHurt’s one-off appearance as a kind of “alt-Doctor” inlast year’s 50th anniversary special, Capaldi is the12th Doctor, but he’s only the fourth actor to essaythe role in the current run of the series that wasrelaunched in 2005.

While Doctor Who has been revered by Britishfans for decades, the show reallystarted to take off in the UnitedStates with the 10th Doctor,played by David Tennant, and hissuccessor, played by Matt Smith,the youngest actor ever to tacklethis iconic role.

In contrast, Capaldi is 56, andhas built his career by playingintense characters like his comical-ly profane Malcolm Tucker in thecritically acclaimed political

Britcom “The Thick of It.” Clearly he won’t be playingthe Doctor in the boyish vein favored by Tennant andSmith.

In fact, Capaldi reveals in a recent interview withEmpire magazine, fans can anticipate a Doctor who isa lot more “alien” than he previously has seemed. “Hedoesn’t really care much about human beings’approval,” the actor added in that interview.

disrespectful, but learn to say no when it needs to be

said and stand up for your rights.

6. Find a job you really like. If you are going to spend

8 hours a day at one place, it is so much better if it

were at a place you like, doing what you enjoy. You will

feel such a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that

even the occasional unpleasant co-worker will not dis-

tract you.

7. Love yourself. Stop talking to yourself with

hatred and treat yourself with care and in a nurturing

way. We tell ourselves ‘I’m ugly”, “no one can love

me” and other such nonsense when we should be

reminding ourselves that we are beautiful and

worthwhile creatures..

8. Have a spiritual connection. A spiritual connec-

tion helps us to forgive ourselves and others and

have hope. It helps us to find meaning in life and

understand our purpose for being which in turn cre-

ates happiness.

Let us endeavor to begin a happiness project in

our lives and watch the transformation from fear and

worry and misery to happiness and thankfulness

and joy.

How to be Happier

Send your questions confidentially [email protected] or via twitter at @korennorton

In all my many years of working with people, I

have never met one single person who did not want to

be happier. We must treasure the moments we have

because time is a gift and life is the greatest gift of all.

So why spend so much time unhappy and miserable,

when you can be happy and joyful. Here are eight

ways to up your happiness quotient:

1. Gratitude. Giving thanks for what we already have

breeds in us a spirit of optimism and we learn to focus

on the positives in our life. Gratitude fuels happiness

because we feel so lucky to be alive that sometimes

we just can’t be bothered with little annoyances.

2. Nurture your relationships. Make sure that you

spend time with people in whose company you feel

better and not toxic people who suck all your joy and

leave you feeling drained. Spend quality time with

your family, friends and other loved ones. Knowing

that someone has your back gives you a feeling of

security.

3. Service. You cannot love without serving and you

cannot serve without loving. Giving back brings light

into someone else’s life and also into your own. You

could give things, time or even advice and guidance.

It might seem small to you but when you see the joy it

brings to someone else, it will really brighten your day.

4. Take care of your health. The body and the soul

are so connected that the better care we take of our

bodies, the more positive the impact on our souls. We

feel more energetic, less ill and stressed and happier.

5. Speak your mind. Being honest with yourself and

others gives a sense of freedom. Some of the most

miserable people are those who constantly allow

themselves to be a doormat and never find the

courage to speak out. You don’t have to be rude or

The Cereal Sell Out

Some of us have our favorite cereal brands that

date back to childhood. Possibly yours were familiar

favorites like Cheerios, Rice Krispies or Kellogg’s

Frosted Flakes.

For me it was a toss up between Raisin Bran and

Grape Nuts. Loved those wheat flakes with sweet

raisins (never enough in the box for me) and the

crunchy goodness of those barely nuggets.

My father, our early morning breakfast chef,

always insisted, especially in the cold winters of the

Midwest, that we have hot Oatmeal or Cream of

Wheat. His favorite combo was Cream of Wheat with

Kellogg’s All-Bran on top. Need that fiber, he would

say. I preferred topping mine with Grape Nuts.

As I grew into my twenties and got more health

conscious, I brought my vegetarian diet back home

to the consternation of my mother, who did not fancy

meatless meals, I also begin to examine my cereal

choices. I left the Raisin Bran behind – too much

sugar. But those Grape Nuts were still “kosher” as

there were only four ingredients: wheat flour, malted

barley, salt and dried yeast. They passed the test,

which included avoiding any product with a para-

graph or more of ingredients, some of which you

could not pronounce let alone know what it was

made up of.

I stayed loyal to my Grape Nuts, interspersed with

healthy granola (not the sugar coated, calorie-laden

ones on most shelves today) and occasionally

Jordan’s Natural Muesli. Grape Nuts began to be hard-

er and harder to find here in the BVI, stores stopped

carrying it opting for the latest “fad” cereals with all

the new “buzz” ingredients such as anti-oxidant cran-

berries, a hint of vanilla or cinnamon, fiber-rich etc. So

I started hoarding when I found Grape Nuts – two

boxes at a time or more.

On my quest for my favorite brand recently, I

spotted the familiar Grape Nuts logo. But lo and

behold this was not the original but a hybrid! It had

cranberries and a hint of vanilla. I can do that, I

thought to myself, but to my dismay when I looked

on the side of the box, there was that awful “para-

graph of ingredients” including three types of sugar.

My familiar nuggets were drowned in a sea of flakes

and puffed this and puffed that. Loyal to my brand, I

thought, OK this time I will give it a shot and see

what it tastes like. This was, in hindsight, the con-

summate consumer mistake.

Let me end this by saying to the folks at Post

Cereal Company, which dates back more than 100

years, with all your new and “creative” ideas – you do

not need to reinvent the wheel. Once you have a solid

product tested over the years – please leave it alone!

My hope is that this latest spin on the original will die

out like most fads do and I will find my familiar Grape

Nuts with only four ingredients loyally waiting for me

on the supermarket shelf.

An International Volleyball Referee’s PathwayTeam sports in the Territory are sorely lacking ref-

erees who are internationally certified. Many peopleplay but none seek to become officials. Currently,Glenford “Chappy” Maduro in Softball and NorvalYoung – who’s certified in both Basketball andFootball – are only two with international certificationin team sports.

Tamisha Georges – a passionate Volleyball Nationalteam player – is working her waytowards becoming an internationallycertified Volleyball referee, the path-way least traveled by our players.

Two years ago, she expressed herinterest to the BVI VolleyballAssociation officials. Among her rea-sons, Georges said, is a desire to giveback to the sport and contribute to itsgrowth and development.

“This is something I’m very pas-sionate about and at a very youngage I realized that there’s no succes-sion plan,” Georges noted explaining that when shetook up the sport as a nine year old, there were manypeople in the sport to ensure its continuity, but that’sno longer the case. “That’s the point where we’re atnow and outside of that, we don’t have children com-ing up in Primary Schools playing Volleyball. By thetime I was in High School, I could bump, not spike asgood as I can now but I could spike and serve a ball.Right now, children are learning to do that in HighSchool. So there’s no succession—there’s no continu-ation.”

Georges notes that when they attend internation-al tournaments it can almost be looked at as beingunfair because every other country has a certified ref-

eree from their country representing them – exceptthe BVI. The referee representing the BVI sheexplained, would not be from the Territory as there’sno one certified at that level.

“This has a lot to do with national pride,” Georgessaid. “At the beginning of every game in a tournamentthe referee from each country is introduced. It wouldbe very nice to have somebody from the BVI there as

well. There are a few people who havemet the regional requirements I thinkand can go on to that level. Whetherthey are interested I don’t know, butthat’s one of the things I want to do.”

In 2012 Georges along withAmadonna Creese, Talyia Nibbs,Simone Penn and Natrice Petersbegan the certification process capi-talizing on a national volleyball certi-fication course conducted byStephen Payne.

After passing the course, they areallowed to referee in local league matches – somethingthey must do for three successive years. After whichthe local association can put forth the recommenda-tion to get the person exposure and their hours count-ed towards international certification.

Once that process is completed and they are sanc-tioned by FIVB, they can go on to international refereecourses. As a player, Georges said every year thecourses help her to gain and retain knowledge.“Whether I’m playing or sitting out the game, it’s easyto recognize this is the play that should be called,”she noted. “Obviously, if you’re studying to be a refer-ee you have to know the rules and it has reallyenhanced my knowledge of the game.”

After discovering her boyfriend Mark King (Nikolaj

Coster-Waldau) is married, Carly Whitten (Cameron

Diaz) tries to get her ruined life back on track. But

when she accidentally meets Kate (Leslie Mann), the

wife he's been cheating on, she realizes they have

much in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her

greatest friend. When yet another affair is discovered

with young, sexy Amber (Kate Upton), all three

women team up to plot mutual revenge on this cheat-

ing, lying, three-timing Casanova!

The three women meet up at a beach house and

Amber reveals that she knew all along that Kate was

married to Mark, claiming that Mark had told her

that he was getting divorced. So the next morning,

the hung-over Carly says she wants to plan the ulti-

mate payback using her own job as a lawyer, Kate's

knowledge of Mark's lifestyle, and Amber's looks –

to get revenge.

Back in New York, Kate starts to mess with Mark

by putting hair removal cream in his shampoo and

give him estrogen in his smoothies, causing him to

grow breasts. Carly meets with Mark on a date,

catches him flirting with another woman, and slips

laxatives into his scotch and water. However, Kate is

not quite over Mark despite his infidelities and she

agrees to go on a business trip with him to the

Bahamas.

Meanwhile, Carly and Amber find out that Mark’s

business dealings have been less than scrupulous

and that he has been embezzling money from clients.

When they reveal this to Kate, she is done, and helps

Carly get more incriminating information.

The final showdown comes when Mark is invited

to Carly's law firm for a meeting and he is forced to

stand face-to-face with all three women and Kate

immediately asks for a divorce.

Mark is confronted with the evidence of his cor-

ruption and the fact that all the money has been

returned to the defrauded companies, leaving Mark

with absolutely nothing. He is fired from his job, and

goes into a rage, rushing to his computer only to see

his bank accounts empty. He goes outside the build-

ing and sees his car getting towed and screams in fury.

In the last scene you see the three women meet-

ing up to toast their friendship, but will their lives

remain intertwined? You will have to watch to find

out! Available now on DVD and iTunes.
