For those addicted to the HBO’s hit series, Homeland,
the writers have inserted drones into their plot lines almost as if
they were dark villainous anti-heroes. Last season, lead
character Sargeant Brody sought revenge for a drone attack gone sideways
killing innocent Iraqi children. This season the unmanned aerial
vehicle is now used as "eyes on the ground" allowing Brody to seek
covert asylum in Afghanistan…
Okay, it’s not as gruesome as the title makes it sound. It is about a
growing movement that believesit is time for many of our funeral customs
to change. Much of the pomp and circumstance date back to an earlier

A New Zealand break-out singer from New Zealand is out front again this
holiday season. Back in August when she released her successfully
