Sunday Blog Treats

Greetings! The Blog Treats are here! What’s happening in the world and blogosphere(greater than the world!)? Lots of politics, art (mostly arts because that’s my scene), and people talking about themselves (including me talking about myself). Some of it good, some of it bad, so I posted just the ones that I liked or thought worthy of your time. Enjoy!



New sports centres...I like the local community ones...but what are we going to do about improving our cricket team? We're getting killed out there!


T&T Coast Guard receives 6 shiny and modern patrol boats and more ships are to be delivered soon. Good boost for T&T defenses against drug and arms trafficking—the two main elements that fuel violence and crime.


Speaking of that! Major drug bust and information on the drug trade in Las Cuevas. I'm not surprised about the involvement of the Coast Guard...look for drugs hanging in the trees!


I think these are the best kinds of riots. Happy Phagwa! Happy Holi! What a great display of color!


Best of luck to the people of Chile and President Bachelet in their recovery efforts. Also good to see that TT isn't due for a similar one.


PM Manning’s statement in response to allegations regarding the Heights of Guanapo of church (hat tip: Keith Francis). It’s a long statement but I believe people ought to listen to it before making judgments or taking sides.



People have so many questions about this case. Some of them bordering on being stupid…the (non) logic is that, as long as we don’t know what’s really going on, let’s blame it on Manning!

This one, also from Francis, is a little more exciting…you guessed right! A whole bunch of awesome Carnival photos! Also check out some fun post-carnival thoughts—-post 2010 carnival depression and anticipation for 2011 carnival!


Well, there had to be one more story about the whole Church debacle, right? I don't see what everyone's problem is...I think it's probably just an effort by Warner to distract us from how much of a circus the UNC has become.


Another church story--it seems to be everywhere in the news anyway!--from the other side, looks like the UNC likes to play God with their money..."Marrain explained that he received a grant and lease for land from the Government when the UNC was in power."

Oh, and it looks like the UNC has some other and current serious financial transparency issues to deal with! Let’s see what the new leadership is going to do about it.

Progress, even though it hurts for some. So, I guess I'd better start on my taxes...


The heat is on! You're weather forecast for the next few months--its going to be hot! hot! hot!...which means...girls!


Apparently, contrary to what our local press had reported, T&T has actually received praise for making progress towards preventing money laundry and terror financing. Bloggers again demonstrate that they are better than traditional journalists in reading, and understanding what they read :D
