She even discusses some of the diseases that are affected by the changes in Melanin. One of the one she mentions is Parkinsons disease. She also explains how the Dopamine reduction can cause that disease. She says that eating raw foods can correct much of those problems. They did not mention the Pineal in this video so I have taken it off the original title.
FUND RAISING TIME AGAIN. Its one day past our normal time due to the internet being down here in my town for almost 2 days now. We could not do our blogs or fund raising campaign. Now we are back up and asking for donations toward our $340 deficit this month. If you can afford it, we appeal to you to donate to our cause to keep truth exposed and lies distroyed so we can prepare based on reality.... so help us do that so we can stay on the net to over come the treason being done by our MSM, both left and right.
Thank you for all your support over these many years. I am still trying to find a way to fund this deficit without fund raising. So far, no luck, but I am not giving up, so hang with us until we do. Thank you again and God bless you and your family.

Intellipedia mavens Sean Dennehy and Don Burke were guests in my MBA course yesterday, and once again wowed my students. When they visit I always make sure to position myself near the door right after class so that I can soak up all the compliments; students say "Thanks, great class" to me as they leave, even though I didn't do anything except get Don and Sean to show up.
Don, Sean, and a small group of their colleagues have been instrumental in deploying, growing, and maintaining a single instance of Mediawiki software across all 16 federal intelligence agencies. They've also been tireless in promoting its proper use, increasing awareness, and educating interested members of the US Intelligence Community (IC).
I describe the genesis, spread, and impact of Intellipedia and the IC's other 2.0 technologies in my upcoming book Enterprise 2.0 (which will come out this fall from HBS Press). I find it a truly inspiring story, and one that gives me hope that even the most large, bureaucratic, and tradition-bound organizations can be changed by a combination of technology, innovative thinking, and tenacity. The work of the Intellipedians reminds me of Margaret Mead's great quote " Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
As Don and Sean spoke to my students, I was also reminded of an exhibit at London's Tate Modern museum that I heard about, but unfortunately never saw. In 1990 the artist Yukinori Yanagi painstakingly created the flags of 170 nations by arranging colored sand inside clear plastic boxes (as craftsmen do when making sand art bottles.) He then mounted these boxes in a grid on the museum's walls and interconnected them with plastic tubes.
Can you see what's coming next? Yanagi released a population of ants into this grid, then let them go about their work. As they did so — as they foraged, built, explored, and expanded — they literally eroded the flags. Sand of different colors moved among the boxes, and the elements of the grid became much less neat and sharply delineated over time. The piece, called "World Flag Ant Farm", was not a particularly subtle political statement, but I find it a supremely clever idea. (for more on Yanagi and his work, see this page)
"World Flag Ant Farm" is not exactly the right analogy for Intellipedia; the sentiments behind them are too dissimilar. Sean, Don and their colleagues are not trying to eliminate all barriers and differencies within the IC, and are not advocating that the Community should become monochromatic.
But what they are doing is building effective digital connectors among the agencies and their people. Many intelligence analysts are using these connectors, because they realize that they can do their work better if they don't have to stay within the same box all the time. And as they move around new connections get made and content gets distributed more widely, just as was the case in the exhibit.
Ant colonies are often held up as prime examples of emergent systems. Intellipedia and the IC's other 2.0 tools are helping the Community organize itself in emergent ways, in addition to the hierarchical ways it's deeply familiar with.
People can and do argue about whether it would be a good thing if the vision underlying "World Flag Ant Farm" came to pass — if differences and barriers among nations disintegrated over time. But virtually every observer agrees that the US Intelligence Community needs to become less rigidly stovepiped and obsessed by current organizational boundaries, and to learn to operate in emergent ways to combat the dynamic and ever-changing threats America now faces. All of my work on Enterprise 2.0 and emergent social software platforms tells me that Intellipedia and its kin are the ideal technologies to help accomplish this transformation.
Don was talking to one of my ex-military students after class. He ended the conversation with "Thanks for your service," which I thought was incredibly respectful and classy. It reminded me that, to my great discredit, I've never adequately thanked Don, Sean, and their colleagues for their work or expressed my appreciation.
So as a scholar and as an American I want to say thanks for your service. It means a great deal.

I met Max Minelli in a strip mall parking lot on a broiling Baton Rouge May afternoon. The Boosie trial had just ended and the city was slowly settling back into its usual hair trigger lull. We spoke for about an hour, pausing every ten minutes when a different patron passed by, stopped, and strolled over to the Baton Rouge legend sitting on a makeshift table talking to some random white guy.
Minelli brought his daughter, who was still young enough to amuse herself with hide and go seek without an opponent. Periodically, she'd disappear behind a pillar or around the corner. Not ten seconds elapsed without Minelli hollering for her to return to plain view. He is an acutely aware human, attuned to the shady handshakes of the streets, the promotional cons of the rap world, and the genus of his own pain.
Minelli was born in New Orleans, raised in Southern California and moved to Erwinville, LA when he was 11. You can hear the warring strains simmering in his music, which occasionally sounds country, occasionally Cali-baked, and unquestionably Louisianian. His teen years were mostly spent in South BR as a founding member of C-Loc's Concentration Camp. Once Young Bleed bounced and C-Loc was sentenced to a three-year bid, it was Minelli who shouldered the burden of keeping the label afloat, helping Boosie complete his debut, Youngest of Da Camp.
During the last decade, Minelli earned a rep as the thinking man's Baton Rouge rapper, the connoisseurs representative. His music never strays far from street life, but it's not gangsta. If Boosie has the unmatched fury and the club jams, Max is the meditative riding-around gettin' it contrast.
Since the Camp split in their separate directions, he's been grinding independently (save for a one album deal with Koch), releasing underground gems that only reached the fringes of the Internet. He even made a pair of tapes rhyming over classic East and West Coast beats. He may be the only Baton Rouge rapper ever to rhyme over It Was Written and Atmosphere and somehow make it seem natural.
His new tape, Lunch Money, deserves the Devin the Dude reception circa 2007, when the Internet realized that they had been sleeping on the abyssal catalog of a major Southern rapper. There are several polyester electronic club tracks, but it's mostly tough as leather, another very solid effort from a guy who is somehow still almost a half decade younger than 2Chainz. You can find a link to the tape at the bottom of the post, alongside a Best of Max Minelli compilation that I've put together. Thanks to Max Bell for helping me assemble the tracks, Courtney Hustle for arranging the interview, and Casey Evans of Free Agents for putting me up on the deep cuts. — Jeff Weiss
JW: You started rapping when you were barely a teenager. Do you remember your first official appearance on record?
MM: That was Loc's third album, I think. And me and the dude, J-Von were in a group called LayLo. We were on Concentration Camp Records, C-Loc's label. It was until the second Camp compilation when we really became a group. Priority Records distributed us, but all they really did was use the No Limit stamp, you know what I'm saying? Which of course did wonders for it, made everybody listen to it. But then once people started listening to the Camp, they realized that this ain't like the other No Limit shit, this shit is different.
JW: It was Young Bleed's My Balls & My Word that started the No Limit/Priority/Camp affiliation right?
MM: Yeah, that set us apart from everybody.
JW: Obviously there is a little bit of crossover with New Orleans, but Baton Rouge is its very own unique thing, despite being only 70 miles away. Why do you think it's so different?
MM: The whole culture is different, really. Back in the day, before we really had a music scene, we used to fuck with New Orleans music too. And then like around the time when we started getting on with this shit, it kind of started shifting because now in Baton Rouge people had they own shit. And you know, we talk about Baton Rouge shit. It's kind of like the same thing with the East Coast and then when California rappers came out, you know what I'm saying? They was talking about a totally different thing.
JW: Sort of like when N.W.A. came in versus like the early electro stuff that was just party music and then it just sort of…
MM: So you know, they rapping about shit that we love, that we can relate to. Same thing with that. We rapping about Baton Rouge shit, so people in Baton Rouge kind of gravitated toward the shit.
JW: So when did that kind of start, like 94' 95'?
MM: Like around 95'. We had a dude named MC Nero. He was kind of like the first one. His rap was more party rap, but he had a couple songs that people was fucking with. Then we came out a little bit after him and that's when, you know, we was like on the real hip-hop type shit and created a sound. And then after that, more people started coming, obviously. I would say the real Baton Rouge sound didn't really take off until like maybe 2000. And that's when we was with Boosie. I would say from 97' to now. I would say 97' when Bleed's My Balls & My Word came out. That was kind of the beginning of what you see now.
JW: So what were you listening to when you were coming up?
MM: Man, I listened to like Nas. The album that made me want to be a rapper was Amerikkka's Most Wanted. Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. that was the first the first 2Pac album that I really got on. And just people who was at the top—Nas, Cube, Dre and Snoop, that whole movement, and then, you know, Biggie. Just the regular. But we used to listen to a lot of underground shit, like really the Bay underground shit like E-40 and C-BO.
JW: So how was it like, just through CD stores? Was the radio playing that stuff out here? Was 94.1 around?
MM: They was, but they wasn't fucking with our shit. At first it was 1460, it was an AM station. They was the one who used to play the local shit. But that was when you could bring in a CD and they would just play it. But now you can't do that shit.
JW: Was Baton Rouge pretty heavily influenced by Bounce?
MM: They had a few rappers before, but then when bounce came out that shit just created a whole lane. And it really took over. We were like, 'Man, what the fuck is this?' It was just so different.
JW: You got into the Camp through Young Bleed first, right?
MM: I was on Young Bleed's first album. I was a kid. I was like 14 at that time. He was always like a real mysterious kind of guy. He would come in the studio and rap, then not come in the studio for like two weeks. Then come for a couple of days and work on some shit. We was in the studio all day, every day. At that time, when we first started this shit, we loved that shit so much it was like it wasn't no job for us. It was just, we doing this shit cause we love making songs, we love rapping. With Priority, we had a deadline to turn it out. The day before that deadline, Loc came and got me and Happy Perez and put us in the studio. And he might have had a hook and a verse on there and needed another verse. Three verses and no hook…I'm on like 8 songs on that album. "better than the last time, that was my song.
JW: How old were you at this time, like 16?
MM: I was 15, maybe 16 at the most.
JW: So Loc was already with Bleed around the My Balls & My Word time?
MM: Yeah, Loc was the one who…Bleed and Loc grew up together. Bleed was rapping, so when Loc started rapping the only person he could go fuck with was Bleed. When he was doing his first shit, Bleed helped him write and do a few songs. So then when the shit came out, everybody was fucking with it tough.
JW: Do you remember how you met Bleed in the first place?
MM: Two of my cousins went to high school with him. And then when they found out that I was rapping…they introduced me to him. This was like, I was in middle school. I was like in 6th grade.
JW: So did you grow up on the Southside?
MM: I didn't when I was young, but when I started hanging with them, I was 14, 15. So then, from 14 into early adulthood, I did and I grew up with them. And I took on they ways and they baggage. Back then, it was real niggas street code. It ain't like how it is now.
JW: How is it now?
MM: It's just no-holds-barred. They don't stick to no code or ethics. Youngsters just around here running wild. They don't respect nothing.
JW: Do you think that was after the hurricane?
MM: Around that time it kind of started switching. Say for instance, you and me got a problem, but that shit is just between me and you. Unless somebody cross the line and you bring other people into it. Now, it's just like, 'you fuck with me, whatever. I'll come through and spray up everything. Spray your house up.' It's just no-holds-barred. If you see a dude in a car with his wife and his kids or something, back then you pass them. Now, you don't give a fuck. It's whatever. You just there at the wrong time, you there at the wrong time. They don't have no mind, no sense.
JW: When you think back on all the stuff that Boosie got caught up in, is that connected to like the new shift?
MM: Yeah. Because he had dudes hanging around him that was them type of dudes. He the one that these people out here want, so if you just kind of connected in something, they just going to try throw you in the shit.
JW: What about like the police, were the police always like this? Or has it gotten worse?
MM: It got worse because like it just depend on you who you is. Like if you got any notoriety or like how we started coming up, and especially him, he was just shining on them, and he would get into it with them. He would just start feuding with them—now you got a target on your back. The judge and the DA live and spent all they life in this neighborhood and you a 25-year-old, young black kid from the ghetto and live in the same neighborhood as them. It's just that kind of shit.
JW: How old were you when you put out your first solo record? What was that, like 2000?
JW: That was right after the [Boosie's first album] Youngest of the Camp?
MM: The next thing after Youngest of the Camp was my first solo record.
JW: How did you first meet Boosie?
MM: Through Loc. We had a partner named Frog, from the hood, and I don't know how he heard Boosie, but he was the one who brought Boosie to Loc. He hit him like, 'man, I got this little young dude, he's sick I'm going to bring him to you.' So he brought Boosie to Loc, Loc fell in love with him and they went and did a couple songs and then you know Loc told me about him: 'Man you got to come check out this little nigga Boosie, man.'
And so I went over there to the studio and that's the first time I met him. He was quiet, sitting, not saying nothing. Like he was real shy and shit. That's the first time I met him. He was a monster and I think his voice and the shit he was talking about like that's what drew people into him. Like, 'man you hear this little kid talking about this gangster shit.' And it was like shit you…genuine shit. There's a difference between a dude just getting on talking about shit that sounds fabricated, but he was talking about shit that sounded real and genuine and you knew that shit was real. So that's the shit that I think drew people to him.
JW: Do you think that made you have to step your game up like to him, in the camp and everything? Or were you just doing your own thing from the get-go?
MM: I think everything is always like a competition, if you on a song, like a friendly competition. If I get on a song with anybody I'm trying to kill them, straight up. I don't feel like I was in the same category with them because they was on some real gangster type shit. I ain't never been like a gangster type rapper. And then my influences was…I'm trying to rap like, not trying to rap like, but I was influenced by dudes from New York, dudes from LA.
JW: How did you hear it? Were they playing it on the radio or…?
MM: Well, you know, we used to watch Yo MTV Raps! and the radio and you know Rap City. And that's how we used to hear about that shit. Then I started buying CD's and tapes at first and and we just jamming that shit, you know what I'm saying?
JW: So when did Loc get locked up?
MM: That was 2000. That was like right when we got the shit back rolling. Cause we had fell off. That's why it's two different camps. It's the one with Bleed and it's the one with Boosie, you know what I'm saying—two different eras.
JW: So in 2000 it kind of ended or before that?
MM: Really kind of before that, like late 98, early 99, it kind of fell apart. Bleed and Loc wasn't seeing eye to eye, they had disagreements on a lot of shit. You know, that's when that shit fell apart. That's when we did the camp two around that same time and it wasn't received well around here, or really anywhere, I think. So that's when it kind of fell off. We was in limbo, we didn't know what we was doing or what we was going to do. And it was kind of like…
JW: Did Loc have national distribution with Priority at that point?
MM: Yeah, he did. So that was like the last thing we put out. He lost the deal. So it was kind of like a limbo. Between that time, me and the dude J-Von, we put out an album called the Lay-Lo. We put that out 99 on independent, on our own. So then me and Loc got back together. It was a time when nobody was really fucking with each other.
JW: This is like right when Boosie was coming in?
MM: Yeah, this was that same time. Then Loc got back together and he was like, 'man look, this is what we got to work with. Let's just give this shit a shot and see what happen. And that's when we started working on Camp 3. That's the first thing that Boosie was on. We found Boosie, so me him and Boosie were in the studio and took the little resources we had and made that shit happen. And when it came out, it was out of here. It was out of here—it fucked me up. I remember they used to have a talent show at school out here called Capital, it was like right over there, not too far from here, and we rolled by because there used to be a lot of traffic and bitches used to hang out and people used to hang out. So we rolled by there that day, me and two of my partners, and like I'm just listening, and every-fucking-body is playing that shit. Everybody. It just fucked me up. And that's when I knew, like man this shit out of here. This shit is out of here.
JW: This was like 01 at this point?
MM: Naw, this was like 2000. And so not too long after that, that's when the incident happened and Loc got locked up. So me and Boosie was stuck out here again. And this was before his album came out. He had like a half a album done, so I had to take him to Houston to record. We really was trying to gradually get away from here because of the trouble and because of all that shit, you know, that could've happened. So I took him to Houston after Loc got locked up, finished his album, helped him finished his album. I got it mixed and mastered and pressed up and all of that shit.
And after that, that's when it kind of…Turk and Mel came to him, and he kind of went that way. Then I was just out here by myself, period. So that's when I started working on my shit. Me and My Hustle, that's what came out in 2001. That was still like under Loc, but when that shit came out and Loc realized he was going to be in there a little longer than expected, that's when he told me 'man, you can do whatever you got to do, do your thang.' That's where I'm at, up until now.
JW: So how long was he in?
MM: He did three years.
JW: He came out like 03, 04?
MM: I think was 03.
JW: Has all your stuff been independent since?
MM: Yeah, except for a brief deal that I had with Koch/E1 in 06. I signed with them. I had a song '5 Man Freak' with Paul Wall, you know that song? And man I had got the bitch up to like 300 spins, you know. So I sent them some music, cause my partner was like, 'man I fuck with dude at E1, just sent him some shit.' And like, I waited like two weeks out, like man fuck them, for what? Cause I had been to a few labels already and shit didn't pan out. So I kind of had the attitude like, this shit just going to be the same thing.
One day I just said fuck it. I sent the shit off, and the very next day when they got the shit, they called me like, 'man we want to fly you up here.' And this was the time when they was like, they had some of the biggest artists on the radio. They had Jim Jones shit, they had that dude DJ Unk, Khaled was doing his shit. So it made sense to me because it's still independent, you know, you still do your thing creatively. And they, you know, they got the looks now. They had the biggest songs on the radio. For me, it was a no-brainer.
But anyway, when I signed with them, of course, the shit that motherfuckers tell you they going to do and then shit that they actually do is two different thangs. So they let my song die with Paul Wall. So then it was back to the drawing board. So I made more records. I had one song, 'I'm So On,' that bitch was smoking out here. We had like a summer jam, and like we would watch how the song do. You know, I'm doing the song, and these motherfuckers going crazy. They ain't get behind that. Then I had a song called 'Fresh to Death,' and they didn't get behind that. So I was like, 'what the fuck?'
JW: Do you think it's harder for a Baton Rouge artist to break out nationally because it's a relatively small market?
MM: Yeah, I think labels tend to say, 'aw, this shit sound local' or 'this shit limited, it can only go this far.' So a lot of the artists around here are stuck in this one thing. Unless you…obviously have a "Wipe Me Down," but that was one of them special records, so you know, it couldn't help but go. And they had the resources too. But I think other people made special records that could've went, from out here. Like a few of them. But we didn't have the resources.
JW: They had Asylum.
MM: Right, they had the resources. They had the budgets to do it and push it to that point. So that's like a frustrating thing to me.
JW: How did you decide to do those East Coast and West Coast tapes? [California Dreams & Backpack Dreams]
MM: I was friends with this girl from New York and I was like one of the rappers that she was like, 'this dude on something, he from down here.' She was doing like promotions for a store out here. She was just like a coming-up wannabe publicist and shit like that. So she sought me out and me and her was just talking and she was like, 'man you should do this, you should do that,' just bouncing ideas. And she told me like, 'man you should do a mixtape with nothing but New York beats, like old New York beats.' And I was like, 'yeah, you right.'
So she just started sending me beats, sending me beats. And I'm the kind of person where I like to…when I do shit I like to have an overall concept behind the shit, know what I'm saying? So I came up with this concept like Backpack Dreams and I wanted it to be a three part thing—the dreams series. So I did Backpack Dreams shit and then I knew the next one I was going to do was California Dreams, it just took me a long time to start doing it. And once I started doing it, like I just ran through the shit, know what I'm saying?
And I was in a movie called Video Girl with Megan Good, so the whole concept of that was you know, me going to LA for the movie premier and you know, kind of like a story that weaves through what I'm doing while I'm out there. Like the part where I start going to the Bay and then I start rapping over those beats. Just shit like that. I mean, I think, to me, I'm not an arrogant person, but I feel like that shit is like genius. Like if Lil Wayne would've done that shit or Kanye West, they would be…people would think that shit is the most great thing ever.
My main thing is just trying get this shit heard farther than…you know get it put to a bigger audience. Because ultimately I feel like I would do better in another place than Baton Rouge. You find a certain few people who fuck with that here. But that shit really for the internet and people other places that get it. When I do shit for out here, that I'm targeting to out here, it sound totally different than that kind of shit.
JW: Did you ever think about moving?
MM: Like I'm really thinking about moving to Atlanta. Houston is really like my second home. I'm always out there. But then out there the city is limited. Atlanta, that's where everybody at. I went to Atlanta about two weeks ago and stayed out there for a couple of days. We was in the studio, and that girl Iggy Azaela was in the studio all the days we was in there. T.I. was coming through. Just different people man.
JW: So I mean, how many official albums have you put out? Because it's hard—there's a lot of shit on the internet.
MM: Me & My Hustle, Max Payne, I'm All I Got, That Boy, Get Served, Pain Medicine, The Remedy, and Heart of a King. Eight official albums. I put some more shit out that was in the store, but I don't really call it albums.
JW: I was Googling Max Minelli interviews and there's not many in print. There's online video ones, but I didn't see…I feel like the artists from Baton Rouge never really get the attention they deserve. I mean, even Boosie really much nationally compared to how big he actually was.
MM: I always used to wonder why he wasn't bigger though. You could take a person like Plies, for instance. They was out around the same time doing they thang and I just always felt like Plies got a bigger look than Boosie and I just used to wonder why. Because you can't tell me Plies is hotter than Boosie. Boosie foundation is way more, just like sicker than Plies. You know, Plies…I didn't really hear about Plies until he was on TV. Boosie, man, everybody been jamming for years before he even touched the TV. I always wondered that shit too. I don't know why that was.
JW: It's got to be partially promotion.
MM: I don't know where the breakdown was happening. It had something to do with promotion, the label, maybe him. He might not have really been out there fucking with the people, the executives, kiss they ass make them feel like this, DJ's…you just gotta.
JW: How did your stuff get heard in Baton Rouge, was it just like through the DJs?
MM: Yeah, DJs. And I had built a foundation from fucking with Loc for so many years. So it was people who I had my own foundation. When I dropped shit, it just come out and just word of mouth, people fucking with it.
JW: You're one of the few rappers from BR who escaped major feuds or jail time. Why do you think that was?
MM: I always been about my business man. You know, rapping ever since I was 15, 14 15. I been eating off rapping. Everything I got I got off rapping. I didn't have no periods where I might sell dope on the side or do this on the side or just involve myself in any kind of thing that I could get in serious trouble about, you know. Like you say, it's a few things here and there that you might get off into, but overall I just try to keep up with the times. I'm the only rapper right now from back then to now. I'm talking about even before Boosie.
JW: What do you think the secret to the longevity? How fickle are the Louisiana rap fans?
MM: They're pretty loyal. Every so often a new artist will come out and just get hot. A lot of it is songs too.
JW: Just one song?
MM: Yeah in the clubs. But a lot of the artists, like out of artists that people listen to—me, Boosie, Webbie—like the main ones. We go and do shows we got a whole catalogue because people fuck with our music period. Most of the dudes they just had songs, a song or two songs that's in the club that's just hot. And that's what their whole shit is based off. I feel like your career is limited in that because once that song is done, if you don't come with another one then, you know…
JW: So what's up with you for the future, what are you trying to do next?
MM: I'm just trying to get a look man, a major look. I mean I'm fucking with a few label people and shit. I'm just trying to put this new shit out, get a little buzz off it and get some people excited. Just go to New York, take a few meetings and try to turn it into something. Just keep grinding, doing shows, putting out new material, and just keep it moving man.
Any little creative thing I feel like I can do to draw people in, like the backpack dreams shit, just little shit like that. Try to separate yourself from the pack. I always tell people…come across new rappers all the time 'man I'm this.' And when I listen to they music they talking about the same shit as everybody else, the beats sound the same as everybody else, just everything sound the same. And I try to tell them: 'Look at this shit like a five lane interstate, like a five lane freeway. All these lanes moving, but everybody jammed up in these two lanes. I be like man look, get in one of these lands, do something different, do your own thang.' The thing about it is, once somebody come out and do something different, then everybody want to do that.

FLIGHT International, IS March 1980 827 British Cargo Airlines goes into receivership but continues flying THE new UK scheduled cargo carrier British Cargo Airlines has been placed in the hands of a receiver, following losses of £800,000 in the first six months of operation (see Flight, Feb ruary 23, page 541). The airline's bankers, National Westminster, have appointed Alfred Davis of accountants Stoy Hayward and Company to act as British Cargo's receiver. The receiver states that he will continue to maintain British Cargo's operations, pending the outcome of investigations into the company's assets and liabilities. British Cargo currently has a contract with British Aerospace to deliver One-Eleven components to Romania in support of BAe's licence agreement (see page 852 in this issue of Flight). British Cargo's specialist divisions are not in receivership and continue to trade normally; they may even tually be sold by the receiver as going concerns. They are the airline's animal carriage and sea-air division; its freight forwarding subsidiary, IAS Cargo Services; IAS Exim Marketing and Finance and IAS Courier Ser vices. British Cargo Airlines was formed last year when IAS Air Cargo bought Transmeridian Air Cargo from Trafal gar House. In 1978-79, IAS made £3'4 million profit, and Transmeridian was losing £200,000 a month at the time of last year's merger. British Cargo's directors say that receivership was necessary because of rising fuel costs and severe price-cutting in the air cargo industry, which has slashed hopes of a return to profitability. Airliner market • Sir Peter Abeles, joint chief ex ecutive of Ansett Transport Industries (which owns Ansett Airlines), says that four Airbus A300s would cost the airline $200 million compared with $160 million for four Boeing 767s. Sir Peter and Rupert Murdoch, Ansett's other joint chief executive, are back in Australia after visiting Airbus and Boeing for presentations on the com petitors for Ansett's domestic wide- body choice. A decision is imminent. • Eastern Air Lines has ordered 16 Boeing 727-200s and become the second biggest customer for the type. Over the years, Eastern has ordered 167 727s from Boeing and has taken delivery of 141. Boeing's biggest 727 customer is United Airlines with 230 orders. The latest batch of Eastern 727s will be delivered between April 1981 and December 1982 and is worth more than $270 million. • Pan Am has ordered eight 727-200S from Boeing for use on internal Ger man services. Deliveries start in October 1981. Boeing has now sold .1,773 727s. • Hapag-Lloyd, the West German charter airline, has reportedly ordered six Boeing 737s, worth $75 million, and taken options on two 727 s. • Transcargo Airlines of Spain has taken delivery of a Boeing 707-321C on dry lease from Ronair for six months, with an option to purchase. The deal was arranged by UK aircraft brokers Lassair. • Pacific Southwest Airlines has ordered one McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Super 80, bringing its total buy of the type to 13 aircraft. Flight-testing of the Super 80 at the manufacturer's Yuma, Arizona facility has passed the 400hr mark.

These include structural limits tests up to M0-87 at 35,000ft, wing and fuselage load tests, stability tests, stall tests, establish ment of noise levels, and calibration of the digital flight-control system and head-up display. Total Super 80 orders stand at 72 from 12 airlines. • Lauda Air, the Austrian charter airline, has one McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10CF on order for delivery in November this year. The source of Lauda Air's DC-10 is not known but the aircraft is probably being acquired from a US domestic carrier. Lauda Air currently operates two Fokker F.27s.

Criminal fines ranging from $100 to $25,000, and one year in prison, are also proposed for such violations and for breaches of safety regulations. The Bill has been introduced at the request of FAA Administrator Langhorne Bond, who says that the present civil limit of $1,000 is "an inadequate deterrent." • El AI, the Israeli flag carrier, was nearly closed down by the Govern ment last year, says Avraham Shavit, • the airline's chairman. He was ap pointed chairman last year with in structions to take any measures required to cut mounting financial losses, or to close down operations. He is cutting staff from 6,000 to 4,500, reducing salaries by amounts ranging from 3 per cent to 20 per cent, and introducing radical changes in work ing practices. For example, El Al pilots have agreed to fly Tel Aviv- Montreal services on to New York with the same transatlantic crew rather than using a fresh crew to fly the 80-mile Montreal-New York leg. Shavit says that El A] will break even this year.

Join the Thousands of Satisfied Customers
Stephen Dunkley
I would like to say a special thank you to all the folks at Alpha Air Center. We had some special situations and AAC was more than willing to go above and beyond to help us. Thank you to Kim and Cody for the amazing service. I recommend Alpha Air Center as a great stop.
Ben Zwebner
Flew back in to JLN with another ferry flight. Alpha Air upped their game with their new facility and has some very professional and welcoming staff. One of the best FBOs I have been to in my travels.
Jim Murphy
Good people, good service and good fuel prices. What more could you ask for? I'll be back.
Dale Ellis
Alpha bent over backwards to take care of my RV-8 and offered a crew car to use to get to the hotel for the night. FIRST CLASS.
Ben Zwebner
I flew through Joplin with a Lancair during a ferry flight. The lineman was already waiting for me on the ramp to wave me in. They have a really nice facility and let me use their crew car overnight to get to the hotel. I will definitely be back.
Mike Wiens
One of the nicest experiences with a FBO I have had. Called two days ahead to reserve a car and spoke to a very accommodating person. When we arrived a little bit later than we thought we would, no problem. Taxing to the ramp there was a lineperson waiting for us. When we got in the office everything was ready to go, just needed copies of my DL and CC. They even had the rental car right outside the door running with the AC on due to the 90+ heat! Fuel cost was very reasonable and my plane was ready to go when we returned two days later. A very good experience! This is what GA should be about!
Matthew Casile
Stayed with Alpha Air for a few nights and received some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Everyone was so nice to us and I would highly recommend stopping here for any of your needs in Joplin.
J T Solano
Stopped in for refueling on the way from Florida to Boulder. They were very helpful and friendly, marshaled us into the winds as we asked for a quick turn. We were refueled and out in less than 15 minutes. Also gave additional price break for buying over 200 gal. Lowest cost anywhere!!!
Fred Bursch
Stopped in Joplin at Alpha Aviation based on the great reviews. We weren't disappointed. Cody marshaled us to parking, chocked the wheels and got us a hotel. Very friendly service and reasonable prices. Thanks guys.
Michael Mcgrath
Handled two quick turns today, one with fuel, without a hitch. From Kim at the desk to the line guys our experience was first rate in our Saratoga. A definite go back for next time, and they are Pilot-N-Paws friendly!!
Chris Herzog
If I could give Alpha six stars I would. My wife and our two small kids stopped here for Christmas. Not only do they have the cheapest fuel prices around, but they have outstanding service. Our plane was there for three days. I told them to just tie it down. But they went above and beyond and put our 1976 Cessna 172 in the hangar, because there was a winter storm on the way. I never asked and they did it on their own. This is the kind of operation your uncles and grandparents will talk about when they mention, "the good ole days of general aviation." My hats off to their staff and their work ethic. They truly deserve all the business they're getting. By the way, when we stopped on 12/22, their ramp was full of airplanes. I didn't see too many across the way at the other guy's place. I think that says something.
Steve Schultz
We were very pleased with the service we received this Saturday. We were promptly greeted by extremely friendly staff who met us at the airplane. Very accommodating of all our needs… Even our Alaskan Malamute! Great FBO to stop at!!! Highly recommend!! It's FBOs like this that make GA flying fun and relaxing. Thanks
Joe Champagne
Being a professional pilot I would like to go on record regarding customer service with Alpha Air Center. My two recent stops at Alpha Air Center have been met by friendly, enthusiastic and competent line, office and management personnel. The building is new, modern and up to date with the amenities that make a pilot's stay comfortable. I give two thumbs up to this FBO and I look forward to giving my business to Alpha Air Center when I land in Joplin in the future.
Bucko Strehlow
Arrived at 8:45 pm with facility posted hours as closing at 9. Lineman (Jay) could not have been nicer and more helpful. When he heard that hotel could not send shuttle for 45 minutes or more, he offered us the use of the airport loaner car (which we returned around 7 am the next day). He loaded the car and had the A/C cooling while we took care of the paperwork. We were stopping on the way from San Antonio to Oshkosh and had planned a different fuel stop on the way back, until we got this kind of service. So, we came back on our return. Even told some Cirrus owners we met at KOSH about the place, and they came there too. We saw them arriving as we were pre-flighting after our lunch stop on the way home. GREAT PLACE TO STOP FOR FUEL AND REFRESHMENTS!!!
Bill Boggess
We were very impressed with the great service received at Alpha Air Center on 8/7/12. The line service folks were right there to meet our Citation, making sure our passengers were on their way into town right away, and handling our fueling needs promptly for the outbound flight. Alpha Air's service is very professional, but at the same time warm and friendly toward both the passengers and flight crew. A crew car is available, and their jet fuel price at the time of our visit was excellent. This is a good stop for a quick-turn or an overnight…We will definitely return.

It's not enough to get kids to just fork down their vegetables. I want them to embrace carrots and onions and peas, to get excited about green beans and sweet potatoes and beets.
So my plan for the fourth cooking class at Henry Lawton Elementary School was to take familiar vegetables and prepare them in an unfamiliar way.
I chose a soup made with onion, carrots, and sweet potatoes to demonstrate how different vegetables can feel in your mouth when made a certain way, in this case, all blended together; and how different they can taste when seasoned with spices, in this case curry and paprika.
I thought this thick, smooth, delicious soup would be an interesting lesson and a sure winner with these fifth-grade chefs. We would garnish it with cilantro and a dollop of Greek yogurt as a sub for sour cream. Corn bread made in a cast-iron skillet would seal the deal.

Digestive Health Continued
High intake of carbohydrates- many carbohydrates are not digested, but undigested but undigested carbohydrates do not pass harmlessly through the small intestine. They stay in the gut, where they can potentially feed "bad" bacteria. As a result, fermenting bacteria and yeast damage the intestinal wall and digestion is impaired.
High intake of sugar- refined white sugar, like carbohydrates, can feed the "bad" microorganisms in the intestines. One such organism, a yeast called Candida albicans is a big fan of sugar. Eating too much white sugar can cause Candida and thrush. Sugar can also feed bacteria that irritate the lining of the GI tract.

" I became interested in wine at a very early age and have half fond memories as a child of being taken by my father and uncle to cellar doors in McLaren Vale and being allowed to have the odd sip of a fortified and entertaining myself by throwing rocks in the car parks. By the age of fourteen I went and did a couple of weeks work experience at Hanging Rock Winery in Mt Macedon in Victoria and I had an inkling that this could be the career choice for me. I liked the concept of some science, physical work which got the hands dirty and the social and sales side of wine.
At the tender age of 17, I enrolled in a Bachelor of Oenology at Roseworthy College. I have worked for twenty years now in McLaren Vale for such notable companies as Geoff Merrill Wines, Tatachilla Winery, Maxwell Wines and Redheads Studio as well as vintage jaunts in Italy and France. I started La Curio 10 years ago - a boutique wine brand with a focus on old plantings of Shiraz and Grenache. In recent years I have enjoyed also crafting small cuvee's of Primitivo and Sangiovese as part of the La Curio stable, as well as consulting on a larger scale to a number of clients. I hope that you enjoy these rare and beautiful wines"

the book that started it all
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
These days it's fashionable to attack Roots becuase of the mistakes Alex Haley made with certain details. Forget all that. Alex Haley turned the thin facts of his family history into a gripping novel that caught the attention of the entire country. The book made it's readers cheer, weep and rethink their feelings about race. This book also is responsible for creating an entire movement of folks who study black geneology. Every work of historical fiction concerning black characters, and every black family history book on the market today owes it all to Roots.

When I first read the book, I didn't realize how much Crichton really emphasized his support for the chaos theory and the whole nonlinear dynamics. The manner in which he portrays this theory is almost convincing. After I read the book a second time, I was asking myself the question of whether this strange but oddly captivating theory was true or not. A masterpiece. If only all sci-fi/thriller novels could be as intriguing as this book is. It will leave you on the edge of your seat up till the very end. I would suggest this book to anyone seeking a thrill ride.

A well-written, compelling human interest story. I'm an avid cyclist; my wife is not. But we both devoured the book in one weekend. Long-time fans of Lance will appreciate the insights into his life both on and off the bike. Those who know nothing about bicycle racing will get a very readable introduction to a great sport. And anyone who knows and loves someone with cancer will appreciate the warm and human portrayal of those who face this all-too-common disease with courage and hope. This is a great book for anyone.

I read this book and when I finish, I don't go looking for another one, I just start all over to the front of this one. I can not stop reading this wonderful book. It has so much true imagery, that I find my-self keeping mental notes for use in sermons. Ken Gire does such an amazing job of truly listening to Christ as he reads GOD's word. Any Christian that wants to deepen their relationship with Christ, would help them-selves out, by allowing Christ to work through this book in thier life. Your life will be enriched, enhanced, and you will obtain a greater understanding and desire to apply GOD's word in your own life. Thanks Ken for allowing GOD to use you.

I must say that this book is not about a little prince, it has a deeper meaning, so if you see any reviews rating it only with 1 star, please disregard them. I don't usually buy books, but even I have thissmall novel. I just found it fasinating in how many languages it has been published. English, French, even Lithuanian (I know, I saw it). So instead of reading some Harry Potter for the 100th time, read this book.

I take the view about this book as a new testament leader stated many years ago. If the content of the book is bogus, time will tell. If the content is of God, you are fighting against Him. We all know who will win the final battle for the world and it's people don't we?? It's futile to promote man's supposed knowledge over the wisdom of God. I, for one, cast my vote for the God who will prevail and for His people who will do His will in spite of themselves.

In HARVEST OF BONES, Wright brings us back to the village, farms and fields of Branbury, Vermont to renew our acquaintance with farmer Ruth Willmarth, Colm Hanna, and the other well characterized people who made MAD SEASON such a rewarding read. We now meet feisty old Glenna Flint, fleeing the nursing home, LANDS END, in which her son and daughter-in-law plan to warehouse her. Also new to Wright's world is Fay Hubbard, whose post-divorce therapy involves at attempt to run a B & B, replete with a recalcitrant cow, whom Fay doesn't even know how to milk! Then after Fay's adopted greyhound digs up a ringed finger and its once attached body , the vividly interactive plot is off and running. Even more of a page turner than MAD SEASON, and wonderfully written, HARVEST OF BONES will keep you sitting by your imaginary woodstove on a subzero evening in Branbury, Vermont, until you reluctantly turn the last page.

Great Introduction To Orchestral Instruments
Rating: 5/5

My twin sons cherished this book from the time they were two years old. We have gone through six paperback copies (each insisted on having his own); my boys shared it with everyone they saw, and they even slept with it! They love the clever and colorful pictures, and the short verses describing each instrument capture each instruments' special sound and qualities better than any other children's book I have seen. I played my kids symphonic recordings and a videotape (Bernstein conducting Beethoven's 9th) along with this book, and at age three they could easily identify all of the instruments by sight and sound.

Balancing Act
How do you balance your time between work/blog/home/crafts/kids? I love making new things, experimenting with sewing and jewelry and of course I love crocheting. I also have a full time job, full time children, and don't forget hubby. On top of all that I like to stay fit, try to keep up with my blog, and new technologies. It's hard work and a lot of times I have to sacrifice what I want to do with what I need to do. It's life. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying..
Do you do anything special, or have a way of doing things to make time for your crafts or hobbies?

Extracting positive emotions from viewers is the main focus of Mike's work. He has explored two main subjects that in themselves are departures from the normal humdrum of life; and that is the beach and rainy-day cityscapes. Even though rain in the city may be seem negative on paper, yet it is a real-life drama that evokes both excitement and comfort when seen in a painting. In the last few years Mike has concentrated on developing a style that does not tell the whole story. He draws-in viewers and invites them to be a part of the scene. He coaxes involvement. He extracts feelings of being there, and at last lets viewers revel in the warmth and dryness of where they stand!

8 Creative tips on how to start a conversation with your crush
You wouldn't get nervous about ordering your meal in a restaurant, so why do you go all weak at the knees when you think about starting up a conversation with your crush? It's the same thing really; you are only starting a conversation with a stranger. The difference is, of course, that you are hoping to get a lot more from a conversation with your crush, than a side of fries and, with so much more at stake, your nerves start to kick in. If you find taking to new people difficult and you look for tips on how to start a conversation with your crush, you're not on your own, as lots of people have the same problem so, to make things a little easier, here are eight ways to get that talking started:
1. Find an excuse and say hi!
One of the simplest tips on how to start a conversation with your crush is – find an excuse and say 'hi'. Calm down, you're not going to have to come right out with it and say that he's the hunkiest guy on the block and you've been dreaming about him for months, try: 'Hi, I haven't seen you before, do you come here a lot?' or something like that to get things started. All you need is an excuse to approach him in the first place and start the conversation with something simple, but, make sure that you tell him your name, so he remembers you the next time he sees you.
2. Get a friend to introduce you
Another helpful tip on how to start a conversation with your crush is – get some help from a friend. There's nothing wrong with a bit of teamwork to start the ball rolling. If you have a mutual friend, then get an introduction that way. Once introduced, he will feel obligated to say a little more to you, than just 'hello', so make the most of the opportunity.
3. Try and keep the conversation going
Once you've got the introduction over with, don't leave it there; there are many ways to start a conversation, but don't forget about keeping the conversation going and ask some questions. Asking for help or advice is always a good move, as most people are always willing to help someone out. If you're in a bar or a restaurant, you could ask what's good on the menu or if you're at work, you could ask for some help with something. Just be sure not to ask anything that will bring the conversation to a close, like 'where is the bathroom' or when you get back, he'll be gone!
4. Give him some compliments
Hopefully now, the ice has been broken, so it's time to send some subtle messages. The first and easiest way to give him the first signs that you are interested is by way of a compliment. Tell him you like his shirt or jacket, or comment on his lovely eyes. A compliment is non-threatening and everyone likes to receive them, so giving one should start to make things a little less awkward.
5. Avoid questions that can be answered with a simple 'YES' or 'NO'
Avoid questions that can be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no', as these literally put a full stop on the conversation. For example, a question such as 'what did you like about the movie?' begs an answer that may lead on to further discussion areas, whereas 'did you like the movie?' could be answered with a simple 'yes'.
6. How to start a conversation? Find some common ground
Delve, dig, probe and find something that you have in common with your crush, as fast as you can! The sooner that you can start talking about a shared interest, the sooner he will see some compatibility here. A band, hobbies, sports, movies, TV shows, the list of potential common ground is endless, you've just got to touch on one and you have a conversation on your hands. 😉
7. A small portion of flirting
Send the right messages with your body language and watch out for his body language too. Look him in the eye, when you talk, turn on the charm, smile…and a light touch on the shoulder now and then will let him know your intentions. Watch for his body language too, though, if he steps back when you touch him or he is fidgeting and not paying attention, then sadly he may not be interested.
8. Don't forget the close
Now you've gone to all this trouble, don't let it end here! Make sure that you get his name and possibly even his number, before he leaves and, if things have really gone well, suggest meeting some other time. If you don't ask, you don't get!
Do you have some other tips on how to start a conversation with your crush? Please, share them in the comment section.
Stay happy!

I had been wanting to try the curry mee from the laksa & kampua stall but it was not what I expected. Different or maybe my expectation was different.
While I were having a heavy curry mee, my hubby on the other hand, had a light breakfast. Milder taste but a yummy and satisfying bowl of porridge with minced pork balls and century egg. Gosh! I tasted the porridge and I liked the taste. Similar to the one in Open Air Market Kuching.
That was our breakfast; the heavy and light weight.

Can see the photographer was trying to do magic with ur photos, this is unprofessional photos. ur story tells me that ur deep in luv so I expected to see every perfect thing in ur photos, but am not convinced. U opted for cheap things dear. U r photos are many and not nice. God bless you in your marriage

Anyway, behind those fancy whatever, it looks like it was a beautiful wedding. You sound so inlove with your hubby, hope it stays that way forever. Stay blessed!

Tiso you are right these pictures are tempered with shame, you know people try to be creative but eish they over do it sometimes man, it takes a proffesional photographer like Alice Swanepoel from the Gorgeous wedding to do that, not Dick, Tom & Harry.I am telling you to consult your optometrist with immediate effect if you dont have one i can appoint one for you.
Laoh I am telling you to consult your optometrist with immediate effect if you dont have one i can appoint one for you
There are more positives than negatives in this wedding. The wife's passion for her hubby, the groom's simple suit (are you a Buccaneer, broer), colours and enthusiasm are some of the positives. However, you should've stuck to simplicity on the pics, I mean I couldn't go through all of them because they aren't so eye-friendly and they are too many – almost fourty. Much is less at times.
That said, enjoy your marriage and God bless.
Beautiful and unique wedding guys,God bless you,please ignore the negative resposes….
Beautiful and well planned wedding….the photographer did an amazing job…pls give me his numbers
May u be blessed in ur marriage!!!
Mr. & Mrs. Kotjokoane,congratulations on ur wedding.My advise to u is that people will always focus on the negatives.Ur wedding was beautiful and you guys look happy together and that's all that matters.
May the almighty God bless you in your wonderful future together as husband and wife!!!
Beautiful story indeed, u guyz had a fabulous wedding and God bless. Maybe the Kotjokoane family can educate us on the 'leave nothing to the imagination shoots'.What is it called and what purpose does it serve other than blindness and I'm not saying this in a bad way.
Boss which school did u go 2?I mean really,u need to go back and get all your school fees money. The number of your brain cells, hai kona isono lesi.
P.S. the bride is good-looking bathong.
haibo! what is wrong with you pics, where you guys traying to came with a new style no it didnt work,but any way God bless.
pics not AYOBA!
Guys I have to agree the photographer tampered with the pics but o di sentse….Nami I really hope gore Popo le Whim hav other pics.
@ boss im still waiting for ur business prop broer….
I can imagine how you must hev felt when the photographer came to deliver the pics……m sure was gonna kill him there and then!
B blessed in ur marriage guyz!
@ Boss, You forever critises other people and have something bad to comment about. Know the saying in isiZulu "indlu yegagu iyanetha" therefore your comments says a lot about you and who you are.
STOP Critisizing and be happy for other people's Happy Moment. If you think your wedding is/was a Top Billing Material then share with us.
REMEMBER! Whether the pictures were visible or not, but they are in loved & have been joined in a marriage with or without the setbacks.
You could be out there dying to be married if not to be loved.
Nice wedding,Colour combination wow May God Almighty bless you. As for Boss,Laola,KK and Tiso if you want to chat just go to Face book or somewhere.
Kamo, su dika,
KK…firstname.lastname@example.com mail urgently, i want you to see something before i post it cause you are the only person with real eyes.
Kamo what's the catch?
Haibo what's happening here? Eintlik what's up? it looks like its a Wedding but 'm not sure my eyes just shrunk. Sisi why did you have to do this to your big day mara, because you looked like you were beautiful haibo this day only comes once!!!!!!!!!!!! or your photos were taken with cell phones? not Digital camera?
Eish, God bless anyway.

Please ignore those silly comments and continue to love each other!!!!!
All the best!
Kittiee, i bet you are 40, and you have no man or a cat.
That's how you sound to me.
I have the right to voice my opinion i didnt know you were offended.Lol
guys you were so beautiful, decorations and the pictures. those pictures are decorated, you guys. the camera man did'nt mess up anything, they are just decorations on the photo, do you get it. you can do decorations as well to your photos!!!
haai mara photographer le wena le ge bare go crooper eseng so. anyway nice wedding may God bless your mirriage.
Wow!! Some people know how to ruin a beautiful thing. What do you call this type of special effect…."Blurred vision effect". I thought I was going blind. Sue the photographer if you don't have clear originals. You shouldn't have sent them from the first place…
Congrats! Looks like you enjoyed yourselves….if you move a bit further from the screen. You all look beautiful, like flowers on a sunny morning when the eyes don't want to open due to sunlight coming through the window.
i love how you guys met and the patience, your not going to honeymoon touch my heart. Lebo you beautiful. may God reachly bless you. if i win powerball, you guys i promise to take you wherever you like!!!
Guys,the pics arent dt gud so what!she's married,she's a wife,the whole world knws abt it we cnt change de pics.Having sum1b to cal u lover 4de rest of u life its a blessing.U go girl I wish I were U.
Nolly, just hire the same photographer for your wedding and stop complaining about other peoples comments…Or were you the photographer? Phela it sounds like you are defending him, he ruined a beautiful thing.
You can clearly see that a lot of organization and class went into this wedding. I mean everyone can see the wedding was beautiful, so was the bride, groom and bridesmaids. But the pictures ruined beautiful memories.
This is realy nice wedding bt y good people alwayz concentrate on negetive things instant of good things like this pic yes they r nt perfect bt most of u busy comments about them so please stop it and congratulate this couple
this is something new to all of us, the wedding is beautiful and the colours are ayobaness God bless you both.maybe some of us would switch from using the old style and use the one you and your phographer chose
HALALA ntombazane HALALA
ok so now we hav 2 sit how long b4 we get a new wedding?????i think my bad comments are chasin all he potential poster away…ai now im worried.eish please guys i apologise no more bad comments tuu.now im bored & i hav no weddig to dissect……………save me from myself b4 i go cucuuuus………
MR and MRS Kotjokoane you look very happy,i have noticed that the groom and the bride are smiling in most if not all of the pics, please keep it that way,you seem very happy and comfortable together. I love what your photographer did to your photos, it really showed me what kind of couple you are,for me you are not afraid of being unique or going to the extreme without thinking what other people will say.And as for you Makoti i like your HONESTY: 1.you loved this man before he even proposed,2.you were willing to track him dowm and 3.you didn't go to honeymoon simply because you didn't have money.(most women will never say that on the world wide web)
As long as you LOVE each other and you communicate and agree on whatever you plan to do irrespective of what people say, you are guaranteed a long lasting marriage.I am happy that you guys know God, so invite Him in your daily plannings he will be there to guide you where you get lost and give you strength when you seem to be weak.Take care of each other and do not forget to say your prayers EVERYDAY.
I have seen too many weddings on this site but yours seem to have touched me as if i was there or i know you.
What a beauty i like the photo's style,and the brides maids dresses i love them,shooooo makoti your dress is stunning. And the catering i really love the colours. Both of you have bautiful smilez niyafanelana,
keep the candle of love burning and all the best in you Marriage life.
Hey Makoti – you had a beautiful wedding. By the way we got married the same date. May God Richly Bless your Marriage. Take care of each other guys, you look stunning.
outstanding pic's..true happiness is reflected.I wonder why people just like criticising other people's work ..nevertheless I believe such people are those are just struggling to find such happiness for themselves..such comments don't really matter fact is that you both are happy and we can only be happy for you!..hold onto your partner, but put God first in your marriage..the rest will take care of itself..!
Lege bareng batho ba tshwana but the groom ke a moitsi, we used to stay at Ga-rankuwa zone 2 same street, we used to call him Oli, im so proud of you Oli, I will definitely show my mom your wedding pictures and I see your younger brother Oratile has grown so much….. talk about a small world….beautiful wedding indeed!
Beautiful wedding sisi, i wish you all the happiness in your marraige. You, Hubby and the wedding party looked amazing. Gob Bless!
Thanx makoti for uploading clear pictures, those fancy ones were not on at all. Look at how adrable and lovely you are, those bride maids, everything was perfect.
Next time please leave the effects alone, these latest pictures are SIMPLY the best and so was your wedding.
no comment!!!!!
I am a black female proffesional wedding photographer and every photographer (who has studied photography) know that they are certain rules you dont break (both when you take a picture and post processing). The design (it's called Photoshop) of the images must improve the image and not make people look like they do in the images above. Its a very expensive software (the latest costs +-R9000).
Every image must be post processed i.e. go through this software only to enhance the look and it should never be overdone. This photographer is the ones that gives us photographers a bad name. Sisi, pls request for the original images cos he really did injustice to your special day. You are a beautiful lady and you deserved so much for your special day. I love your venue.
The saying among photographers is "you get what you pay for". Anyone getting married anytime soon please be careful, if your photographer is too cheap i.e. under R6500…then its a sign…… A lot of people underestimate photography when they do their budget, its equally important, people will forget your dress, decor, shoes, rings, food, drinks…they want images months and years later, and what do you have to show for it??? A good photographer will give you a posing guide, so you start preparing for those important shots. A bride should be made to look like a model on tha day, by the way you shoot.
Please dont be discouraged by the comments…..siyabona wawumuhle umshado wakho!

So John along with diet being #1 would you say calories are the most important part of dieting for fat loss?
// // Google Autoads
John Stone's transformation web site and daily blog
Tuesday, December 9, 2014 by John Stone
Filed under Daily Blog
This is the third article in my new "How I prepare for a cut" series. Previous articles can be found here:
– How I prepare for a cut, step 1: Goals and start date.
– How I prepare for a cut, step 2: Diet and supplements.
My cut doesn't start for another month, but I've already set my goals, set the start date, roughed out my diet and locked in my supplement intake. I can't say it too often or emphatically enough, planning is critical to success. I've seen it over and over again: those who don't plan and those who don't fully commit almost always fail to reach their goals. As I said in my last article, seeing a cut through to the end is difficult, so give yourself every possible advantage.
The next step in the planning process is to nail down your training program. Obviously training will vary considerably from one individual to the next depending on his or her fitness/athletic goals, but there are a several constants.
Weight training during a fat loss program is very important, and so I highly recommend that everyone do some form of resistance training. If your primary goal is body recomposition, then resistance training is absolutely critical and should be the focus of your fat loss training program.
Over the years I've done all kinds of resistance training programs geared towards building strength, hypertrophy, improving my athletic performance and so on. If you're looking for some ideas, you can always check out my various training programs on my Training Page. There are also some excellent resources on the JSF Forums.
My current athletic goals are not body composition related, they are athletic-based (specifically, cycling). While I'll still train with weights during my 2015 cut, the bulk of my training program will be cycling-specific:
Because I'll be riding every day and only lifting once per week, my schedule pretty much wrote itself. For those who will be training with weights 3-5+ times per week (which is what I did during my bodybuilding years), it's important to get your training splits, your lifting days and your workout times locked in. Commit to your schedule, and do what you must to make each workout as unoptional as breathing.
Why so strict? Because if you allow yourself to skip a workout, skipping the next one is even easier. It goes downhill quickly from there. Want proof? Just look at how quickly the gym population thins out after January. Don't skip workouts.
There are three primary components involved in a fat loss program: diet, weight training and cardiovascular activities. You may be wondering why cardio hasn't come up much in this article. If the primary goal is fat loss/body recomposition, then cardio is by far the least important of those three things. Unfortunately many (most) dieters have these three things prioritized all wrong. The majority of dieters place way too much emphasis on cardio, their diets are terrible and strength training is either ignored or is an afterthought.
Diet is #1, strength training is #2 and cardio is a distant third. You can get absolutely shredded to the bone without doing a lick of cardio. Again, this applies to those who are are dieting to lose fat and improve their physiques. People training for athletic performance obviously require specialized training, much of which may be cardio-related.
Next up: diet planning and tracking your progress!
