(WMC-TV) - Memphis has a voice and contestant Grace Askew is gaining fans across the country.
Grace has made it through the first battle round with her parents rooting her on as she sing on national television.
"It's phenomenal. We are in total shock. We really are," said mother Becky Askew.
Grace has the whole package. A sultry voice and show stealing looks, but when her parents watch her they see so much more.
Becky said it all started when Grace was 13-years-old asking for a guitar.
"It's a scary idea but as a parent you want your children to follow their dreams and I would say we were in that mode. We wanted Grace to follow this dream she had as a musician," said father Mark Askew. "Grace has made some phenomenal connections there and some great friends in the other contestants, and the people on "The Voice' are so encouraging and nurturing."
In the day of pop stars getting by on who the are and their looks, Grace Askew has done it the old school way. She has spent years traveling the country on her own, guitar in hand. It has not been easy and the singer hopes this is the break that will push her career to a new level.
"She did feel she'd reached a plateau and wanted to move on and hopefully get a recording contract," said Becky.
Askew last performed Tuesday night, moving on after singing "Me and Bobby McGee". Her loyal fans, and family, are waiting to see what is next for the Memphis artist.

8. Flippin' Out
Flippin' is a technique that allows anglers to fish heavy cover. While normally used for fresh water bass, some inshore fishermen have found that flippin' is a great way to target flounder in hard-to-reach spots."Flippin' for flounder is essentially the same as flip-pin' for bass," says Ray Thomas, a respected Mandarin, Florida, taxidermist and dedicated flounder fisherman. "I prefer a seven-foot spinning outfit for this work, and use it almost like a fly rod at close range. I pull line through the rod guides with my left hand as I'm raising the lure and line from the water with the rod. I'll flip the lure out, then jig it around the boat, because I anchor near good flounder structure such as pilings, bulkheads and jetties. These places are full of barnacles, and it's easy to get cut off. But when you keep your casts short by flippin', you can work these hot spots quickly without getting hung up."
9. The Drift and Bump
Guide Larry Miniard, of Ponte Vedra, Florida, says the best way to locate flounder and learn a fishing area at the same time is to drift or "bump troll."
"The first time I fish a new area for flounder, I like to have the current or tide push my boat along so I can cover a lot of water at a pretty good clip," he explains. "I'll find a likely area, such as a jetty edge, rolling bottom or set of old pilings, and run upcurrent. Then I'll turn the boat broadside to the flow and simply drift along.
"Using bottom-bumping live-bait rigs or jigs is deadly, and I use my electric motor to hold the boat in position. Done right, I can cover a lot of water in a hurry, especially if there are three or four anglers onboard. It's a superb way to investigate a creek or small river, because you can just about cover the entire width of the waterway in one drift."
When the current and/or wind is not favorable for drifting, Larry "bump trolls" by using his electric motor or outboard to push him along, covering water until he locates fish.
10. Keep It Moving
Guide Kirk Stansel of Hackberry, Louisiana, says that a great way to catch more flounder is to always keep your bait moving. This will help you locate any rocks and pilings on the bottom, plus it presents the bait in a natural way.
"Flounder usually wait for a bait to come to them." Kirk explains. "So it's important to keep your bait moving."
Kirk also has a trick for catching flounder around line-cutting structure. "Many times when a flounder hits a bait in a really tough tangle of pilings or rocks, it's possible to gently lead the fish away from the cover before setting the hook. When a flounder wants a bait, you almost can't pull it away from him. So when it strikes a bait in a tricky spot, such as under a dock, just slowly reel in line and lead the fish to a place where it can be played without the risk of a cut-off."

Want to keep your kids safe?
Want to teach your son how to be a REAL man? Want to teach your daughter what NOT to do at a party?
Every parent should show this video to their teenager. It's powerful.
Created by Samantha Stendal, the video shows a girl passed out on a couch. Then a man does what he should do: takes care of her.
The video was made in response to the recorded rape of a 16-year-old Steubenville, Ohio girl by two players on the school's football team.

Your statement is just as untrue. Canon designs and builds their own lithography equipment, builds their own lenses, their own steppers, and are just as capable of DOING that if they CHOOSE TO as anyone else. I'd also point out that while Sony has spent tens of billions of dollars in borrowed money, putting their bond status to "junk", Canon has been raking in the hundreds of billions through sales alone. Canon is more than capable of spending a billion or two to create a fab capable of fabricating 180nm, 90nm, or even 65nm parts. It is a matter of whether they choose to or not. The one thing about Canon is they know when to protect their bottom line...and now really is the time. The market is stiffer, the majority of modern sensor development applies to markets Canon cares nothing about (very small form factor sensors for small form factor devices like phones, phablets and tablets) and which do not present significant competition to their primary markets, devastating natural disasters that are unpredictable, and when they hit require reserves of money to recover from, and at the moment the competition is still barely putting a dent in Canon's dominant market share despite their supposedly radically superior "technology".
If and when Canon actually feels the pain of all the innovation going on in the marketplace, I don't doubt they will compete. I also wouldn't be surprised to learn they have a number of their own sensor manufacturing techniques to improve their designs up their sleeve, which they will drop on the competition when it serves them best. Technology is only part of the game, and if Canon's success and market share are telling in any way, not the most important part.
There surely are intresting times ahead of us according to jrista. Hope Canon will choose to present a thoroughly new sensor fabrication approach ASAP.

Sainsbury's could resurrect plans for extension of Keighley store (From Keighley News)

Sainsbury's could resurrect plans for extension of Keighley store
8:00am Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
Sainsbury's is set to resurrect plans for an extension of its Keighley store.
The company this week remained tight-lipped about its intentions and denied there was any immediate proposal.
But the supermarket giant added that it was constantly reviewing provision at its sites – including the Cavendish Street building, which has not been significantly changed since it opened 30 years ago.
A spokesman told us: "We keep our store portfolio under review to ensure it provides the best possible range of goods for local people and are always looking for appropriate opportunities to extend, refurbish or improve our outlets.
"We don't have a particular schedule at the moment for work on the Keighley store but will keep the community updated if any decision is made."
Sainsbury's put forward plans for a £5 million refurbishment and expansion of the Keighley premises in 2009 when Asda opened a new superstore a stone's throw away.
The proposals included a new mezzanine-level restaurant, a side extension and new glazed entrance lobby. Planning permission for the extension was granted by Bradford Council in March that year but the scheme didn't go ahead. The approval expired after three years.

Jonas Blixt won the Frys.com Open on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title after he sunk a 4-foot par putt on the final hole at CordeValle in San Martin. He finished the day with a 68 and was victorious at 16 under for the entire tournament.
According to ESPN.com, Blixt is the third PGA Tour rookie to win this season and took home a purse of $900,000 along with a tour exemption through the 2014 season.
Not far behind Blixt was Tim Petrovic and Jason Kokrak in second place. Petrovic had a 64, and Kokrak shot a 68 on Sunday.
John Mallinger had the lead after three rounds but it slipt away on Sunday and allowed Blixt to gain ground to eventually take the win. Mallinger ended the day with a 72 to tie for fourth at 14 under along with with Jimmy Walker, Vijay Singh and Alexandre Rocha.

EVERETT – The Everett Silvertips outshot the Spokane Chiefs 11-3 in the third period and generated a number of quality scoring chances, but couldn't solve Chiefs goaltender Eric Williams in a 2-0 defeat Sunday evening at Comcast Arena.
The Silvertips finished with a 29-20 shot advantage in the contest and brought increasing offensive pressure throughout the night, but Williams (18-8-0-1) posted his second shutout in as many tries at Comcast Arena this season while leading Spokane to victory. Making his first start since November 13, Daniel Cotton (5-2-3-0) turned away 18 of the 20 shots he faced in net for Everett.The Silvertips and Chiefs were even in shots in the first, but Spokane scored midway through the period to take a 1-0 lead. Defensemen Tyler King corralled the puck at the blue line on the play and fired a shot that deflected off a skate in front and just out of Daniel Cotton's reach inside the right post. Everett had the only powerplay in the first, but couldn't generate any momentum and carried a one-goal deficit into the dressing room. Neither team found the back of the net in the second despite two Silvertips powerplays and one for Spokane. The period's best scoring chance came from Josh Winquist, who pulled the puck out of a scramble in front and cut across the goal mouth before Williams slid his left pad over in time to make the save. The 'Tips skated to a narrow 8-7 shot edge in the second.Everett came on strong in the third in a push to tie the score, but Spokane doubled the lead on their first shot of the period. With the Chiefs on the rush, Mike Aviani's shot from the right circle snuck past Cotton to make it 2-0 at 6:17. Winquist had another great opportunity from the slot midway through the period, faking a pass before ripping a shot toward the top corner that was gloved by a lunging Williams. Spokane held off the Everett the rest of the way to hand the 'Tips their third shutout loss of the year.The Silvertips finished 0 for 3 on the powerplay, while stopping the Chiefs on their only opportunity of the period.

Missouri Prepared To Fight Arkansas For Mike Anderson
Though most rumors have not included Mike Anderson has a heavy favorite for the head coach position at Georgia Tech, his name has surfaced enough times for it to be an influence in the search. If this battle ends up as speculated, Dan Radakovich can scratch one name off the list. How do you think the other coaching vacancies in the Big 6 Conferences affect the Georgia Tech search?

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was the most exciting player in the 2013 college football season. You never knew what he was going to do, but Aggie fans and viewers across the country could be certain that it would be special.
Manziel could hunker down in the pocket and wing a pass to a receiver far down the field. Or he could scramble away and find running room where none appeared available.
That will be the frozen image of Manziel as a college player – elusive, carefree, dynamic, spur of the moment.
So how will his style translate to the National Football League – the same game but played a different way? It depends upon whom you ask.
Those who like Manziel – they seem to be the majority – point to his improved play at Texas A&M during his sophomore season and his dedication to improving as a quarterback.
Manziel increased his touchdown passes from his freshman to his sophomore years, from 26 to 37. He threw for a higher percentage of completions (68 to 70 percent), and took fewer sacks (22 to 19). He didn't beat Alabama last year, as he did during his Heisman Trophy-winning freshman season, but he did riddle the Crimson Tide defense with five touchdown passes.
Manziel's two-year statistics at A&M should be enough to silence any doubters: 7,820 passing yards, 2,169 rushing yards and 93 total touchdowns.
But some observers raise other questions. At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, is Manziel big and strong enough to survive a brutal 16-game schedule, plus exhibition and possible post-season play? Manziel thrived in A&M's wide-open system, but will his style adapt to a more conventional offense?
Then there's the matter of maturity. "Johnny Football" liked the carefree lifestyle most college students enjoy. But a pro quarterback is the face of the franchise, and that carries responsibility and scrutiny. Good times are limited to watching film about the other team's defense, especially for someone new to the league.

AVISTA STADIUM - The Spokane Indians beat the Eugene Emeralds 5-2, improving to 3-0 to start the 2014 season.
The Emeralds managed to strike first when Felipe Blanco sent the first pitch of the second inning over the wall in left-center field for a 1-0 lead.
Spokane would respond with a strong bottom half of the inning. With one out and the bases loaded, Charles Moorman scored an RBI ground out which sent Marcus Greene home from third. Eduard Pinto continued his hot start to the season next with a two RBI single to center field, scoring Zach Cone and Seth Spivey. Indians took a 3-1 lead after two innings of play.
The Indians would add to that lead with an RBI single from Alberto Triunfel in the third and a Zach Cone home run to left field in the sixth inning. The Indians held a 5-1 lead after six innings and that would be more than enough.
Pitcher Derek Thompson struck out five while allowing only one run in five innings in his first outing with the Spokane Indians.
Spokane will look to complete the four game sweep on Monday at 6:30 p.m. at Avista Stadium.

If you live in the Grand Island area, you're now officially part of a metropolitan area, that extends well beyond city limits.
Last year, the city achieved urban status with population over 50,000. This is different, as the government recognizes four counties as metropolitan, even rural areas.
The cattle outnumber people in Kristen Klein's view of the world near Cairo.
"I don't see many other people out here," he said with a laugh.
Yet, this is the newest government metropolitan area. That designation has less to do with urban and rural, and more to do with where Kristen goes for church, groceries, and supplies.

Jade didn't understand why it was so hard for her to finish projects on time. She worked crazy hours but was always trying to catch up. I suggested that she maintain a time log for at least a week to track how she was spending her time.
Guess what? Jade was spending more time twittering, flickring, facebooking, and myspacing than she was working. She'd landed inside the latest craze of all the popular social networking tools, but she became so addicted it led to social notworking.
If this sounds familiar and you think the same thing has happened to you, keep the time log for a few days. Make a visual of how you're spending your time and let me know what you discover.
I hope you'll start to balance all this. Social networking is good for business if you do it right, but it can't get done to the detriment of everything else.
-Peggy Duncan, SCORE Atlanta

Those who do not know how to manage their time well fall into these traps. If it is not social networking it will be something else. That goes for off line too.
I have found that sometimes, even though I am working while social networking, I often spread myself too thin by making too many overlapping, social networking business commitments, which leads to offline stress when you sign off and come back to reality. Whether you are working or playing while social networking, watch the clock and watch your promises, because you can get into trouble either way. It's like a credit card in that it's easy to just whip it out and make the commitment because the promise you are making is not "real" yet . . . not until the end of the month, and in my case, not until I get off line and discover how many other things I have to do with my time.

Among pitchers who have thrown at least 150 innings since Opening Day in 2010 -- that's two whole seasons plus a couple of months, basically -- the three hurlers with the best strikeout-to-walk ratios are starters, and probably won't surprise you ...
1. Cliff Lee (6.8)
2. Roy Halladay (6.3)
3. Stephen Strasburg (5.5)
All three of them also go on a short list of pitchers you would consider building a rotation around, at least when they're not on the Disabled List (as all three have been, at one point or another during these last three seasons).
It's the next five guys on the K/BB list, though, that caught my eye.
4. Edward Mujica (5.4)
5. Matt Belisle (5.2)
6. Wilton López (4.9)
7. Dan Haren (4.6)
8. Jonathan Papelbon (4.6)
Haren's a starting pitcher, of course. And a fine one. But his superior strikeout-to-walk ratio comes with a significant cost: home runs. It's the home runs -- 62 in his last 555 innings -- that, more than anything else, keep Haren from reaching the heights attained by Lee, Halladay, and Strasburg.
But this isn't about the starters. This is about the relievers. So let's see them again, but this time with K/BB and home runs allowed per nine innings...
Edward Mujica (5.4 K/BB, 1.25 HR/9)
Matt Belisle (5.2 / 0.6)
Wilton López (4.9 / 0.7)
Jonathan Papelbon (4.6 / 0.75)
In this three-season span, Jonathan Papelbon has recorded 84 saves.
Mujica, Belisle and López have combined for four saves.
Papelbon is earning $11 million this season.
Mujica, Belisle and López are combining to earn $6 million this season.
Miami's Mujica does give up too many home runs (or has, anyway).
But where's the evidence that Colorado's Belisle and Houston's López aren't good enough to do what Papelbon does? Both have higher strikeout-to-walk ratios than Papelbon, and lower home-run rates.
Granted, they don't throw as hard as Papelbon. López throws around 92, Belisle closer to 90. And neither López nor Belisle spent most of these last three seasons in the cauldron of the American League East. But on a most fundamental level, those three things that a pitcher can control, López and Belisle have been every bit as good as Papelbon, without anyone really noticing.
Baseball teams aren't stupid, fundamentally. There are probably decent reasons why Papelbon's pitching ninth innings, while Belisle and López are pitching sevenths and eighths. There are probably decent reasons for Belisle and López eventually getting their chances to become at least moderately famous.

L to R R to L Alpha
Stiff. Overhanging the whole way. Starts off with wild moves on overhanging buckets, then a crux encounter getting into and through the first ten feet of the crack, eases off to 5.10 after that. Cool technical climbing with lots of variety. Crankenstein doesn't get nearly the respect it deserves, this is one of the best harder cracks at Vedauwoo. Do it!
Pretty much right off the trail that runs right behind The Cupcake, in some aspens. This crack is the rightmost of two parallel, slightly left-leaning cracks (the left one is BG crack). Should stand out based on the above description.
#6 Zero through #3.5 Friend, plus a #5 unless you want to run out the easy though somewhat insecure wide section up top. One bolt at the bottom. Watch the rock in the horizontals at the beginning. People have decked or come real close to it clipping their first piece after the bolt. Pretty strenuous. Shuts up and left from the top of the crack.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN In Khayelitsha, South Africa, I
am known to many as Mamazala. How I got that name is a long story, and
it involves my daughter and a young man she fell in love with who started calling
me Mamazala, which is a Xhosa word for mother-in-law. In November 2001,
after months of fundraising and selling everything I owned, I headed to South
Africa to volunteer for what I then thought would be about four months. I had
always wanted to do something that fed my soul instead of my bank account and
my daughters were then 18 and 20 and were only too happy to send me on my way.
The four months eventually turned into twelve months
and I spent most of my time in Khayelitsha (New Home), a township of about 500,000
people 30 kms outside of Cape Town. I volunteered in the Lizo Nobanda
day center, a daycare for children with HIV/AIDS, run by the Sisters of Nazareth.
The daycare presently has 50 children between the ages of birth and seven years.
It is said that one in nine South Africans is HIV+, but it is closer to one in
five in Khayelitsha, with 40,000 people having tested positive. The 50 children
at the daycare are just a small fraction of the number of children in Khayelitsha
who are actually HIV+. Sister Brenda, a nun from Scotland, runs the
daycare and much to our delight we became instant friends. From Monday to Friday
I would get up at 6:00 and take a minibus taxi into Cape Town. I would get off
at Strand Street and walk through the narrow streets of the city, up Buitenkant
to wait under the overpass to the M3 where Sister Brenda would come by at 7:30
to pick me up. And we would be off - at 120 kms an hour. In what we
termed our confessional on wheels, Sister Brenda and I would talk about anything
and everything, rarely about our day ahead but more about our lives. We'd always
look forward to turning off the freeway into Khayelitsha because that was when
life began. By that time it was 8 a.m., and the fortunate people who
had steady employment would have already gotten a taxi heading into the city but
we'd see the rest of the township outside getting on with their day. First we
would see dozens and dozens of men sitting along the overpass and by the freeway
just hoping that someone would be looking for workers - to paint, build, pick
grapes, haul garbage, etc. Then we'd see more and more people. A lot
of life in Khayelitsha is lived outdoors, probably because their shacks are so
small. We got used to seeing people in all stages of dress - pajamas, satin robes,
housedresses, boxers, and quite a few half-naked or naked children - people brushing
their teeth, drinking their tea, eating their breakfast; children looking after
children; goats, chickens, cows and dogs on the sidewalks, on the streets, in
the yards. One day I saw a young woman with a towel wrapped around her
sitting on a bucket getting her hair done by a friend. During the school months,
we would see hundreds of children in their uniforms - beautiful white shirts and
vibrant colors - maroon, blue, orange, and purple. When the weather
was good, women would be sitting on the sidewalk doing their wash, laughing and
chatting, and watching life go by. There were always people pushing carts piled
high with firewood, furniture, cardboard or cans. On the busiest of street corners,
there would be open grills set up with all kinds of meat being cooked - lamb,
chicken, boerwoers (farmer's sausage). We'd see live chickens, sheep heads, drying
meat, laundry, and all manner of things for sale: windows, furniture, wood, chairs,
tires, mufflers, blankets, pre-fab shacks - everything lined the street. Sister
Brenda and I were disappointed when it rained as the rain drove people indoors.
The people outside in the rain would often wear plastic bags on their heads and
assemble raingear out of black garbage bags.
Sister Brenda and I had the
same philosophy about how we wanted life to be at the daycare - we wanted to pack
as much fun as possible into every day. Joy and laughter became very much a part
of being at the daycare. I have many happy memories of taking the children to
the beach, out in the van just to drive around, for walks through the neighborhood,
and enjoying ice cream treats. One special memory is of taking a dozen children
to see the movie E.T. The movie theatre was in a large hotel/casino complex and
even now I smile just thinking of how we must have looked, a nun, a white woman
and a dozen black children who were running around - like ants - trying to look
at everything at once and yelling to each other exuberantly. It didn't matter
that the children didn't understand what was being said during the movie, they
sat enthralled. I do think, though, that the biggest excitement of the day for
them was riding the escalator up to the theatre. None of the children had ever
been on one and it took some coaxing to get them all to take that first step.
Busisiwe, in particular, was holding so tight to the railing that when we reached
the top she was thrown to the ground, much to the amusement of the others, and
then they all wanted to do it. They wanted to "ride it" again and again
like a ride at the amusement park.
Children start to learn English once
they are in school and most of the children at the daycare do not know any English.
Some staff knew more than others. While sign language and body language worked
very well in the beginning, I worked very hard at learning the Xhosa language
and very quickly learned some essential phrases that I needed with the children:
no, be quiet, come here, sit down, what do you want, what is wrong, stop that,
and I love you. Outside the daycare, especially when I went to the shopping center,
I noticed that people often greeted me by saying, "molo umlungu" (hello,
white person), so I learned how to say, "molo umntu myama" (hello, black
person), which would often be met first with shock and then with laughter. Introducing
me as Mamazala would also cause much laughter and I was often asked "Whose
mother-in-law are you?"
It was rare that I would walk through the streets
of Khayelitsha and not see or talk with anyone. Granted there was the added attraction
of being white, a rare commodity in any township, but almost everyone I passed
on the street would greet me. Mind you, after I had been there for a while, it
was rare that I would be walking alone. Whenever I walked out of the gates of
the daycare, a cry would ring out, "Mamazala", and pretty soon children
would come running. They'd want to know what I was doing, where was I going, and
they'd keep me company on my errands. I looked forward to these times and sometimes
felt like the Pied Piper as I would collect children along the way. When I was
out in the car, people on the street would see me, wave and call my name. Children
would run alongside the car for as long as they could calling to me. I'd often
buy mesh bags of oranges, fill the car up with children and drive around the neighborhood
stopping every few feet to let them give out the oranges. I delighted the neighborhood
children by playing soccer and cricket with them with their homemade balls of
plastic bags wrapped up in string, the children more often than not with bare
feet. I bought Xhosa children's books and would sit with my back against the chain
link fence surrounded by children reading to them in the 35 degree heat. The older
children would help me with the more difficult words and even though I didn't
understand what I was reading, they did. I think they took more delight in watching
my face go through the contortions of pronouncing the clicks of their language
than in the actual stories.
I experienced every emotion possible, sometimes
all in the same day. During the year I spent in South Africa, I attended about
10 funerals, six of which were for children from the daycare. Four children died
in a shack fire just beside the daycare. A mother and her son were killed instantly
when a car failed to negotiate a corner by the daycare and ran into their shack.
Two staff members had family die, and two mothers of the children died. One little
boy at the daycare, Aphendule, was six years old when he got bacterial meningitis.
Aphendule had never been sick and was always on the go, bright and eager, but
he fell asleep in the van on the way back from E.T., which was unusual for him,
and we knew that he wasn't feeling well. Despite hospitalization and antibiotics,
he died four days later. I tried to imagine what his parents were thinking as
they tried to cope with the loss of their beautiful little boy. Both of them are
HIV+, as well as their three-year-old daughter Notiti, and I believe that they
had always imagined that despite everything they would die before their children.
Death has become very much a part of life in Khayelitsha.
I have been "home"
for two months now and I find it almost painful to live here. It all seems unreal
to me. I am overwhelmed by how much we have and by how much we throw away. I have
also realized that here life gets in the way of living. Computers, televisions,
phones, cars - all of the things that we have to make life easier - distance us
from one another. We have become insular. We communicate by e-mail or phone. We
have meetings about business. Rarely are we allowed to just "be". In
Khayelitsha I was reminded with every breath I took how grateful I was, to be
in this place, at this time with these people.
In my heart and in my head
I now have many children and a very large family I think about: Zameka, Nomonde,
Nomvulo, Nomvo, Sixolile, Thembakazi, Notiti, Tutu, Sam, Elihle and Thabo, all
the children at the daycare, and Sister Brenda, and I want to do so much. From
the moment I came back to Canada, I started collecting things to take back: diapers,
baby clothes - and asking for donations. My good friend Nancy jokingly said that
I have a cloth diaper habit and I'm working just to support it, and that's not
far from the truth. I am working on a daybook about the daycare and Khayelitsha,
using my photographs of the people and the township, and hopefully it will be
printed and sold to raise funds for the day care. Even as I collect these things,
even as I work on the daybook and try to raise awareness about AIDS in Africa,
I struggle with the thought that what I'm doing doesn't have any meaning. But
as much as I struggle with this, I do know that I don't want to be doing anything
else. Life would certainly be a lot easier if I just went to work, went to a movie
or two, had coffee with friends, and saved for my retirement. But I wouldn't be
alive. When I'm here I'm just living; in Khayelitsha I am aware of every minute.
Despite the fact that I find it hard to be here, I realize that being here is
a necessary part of getting back to Khayelitsha and here is where I can get the
most help for "my family". What I'm doing may be a drop in the ocean,
but every drop, no matter how small, makes a ripple.
I learned many things
about myself over the past year. Most importantly, my experiences in Khayelitsha
reinforced in me the knowledge that it is connecting with people that feeds my
soul. While in South Africa I read about Ubuntu, which means humanness or humanity.
The philosophy of Ubuntu comes from the Nguni phrase umntu ngumntu ngabantu: A
person is a person through other people. I am the person I am because of the people
I have met throughout my life, and I am especially grateful for all of the experiences
that have helped shape who I am today, especially this past year in South Africa.
Every step I take brings me one step closer to once again feeling the African
sun on my face, hearing the children as they run and play and the people as they
talk in their beautiful language, connecting with people on a very basic level,
and once again living out loud.
Luanna's Journal...I returned
to Cape Town, South Africa in July 2003 and found that there was a glut of volunteers
at Lizo Nobanda, the daycare I had been volunteering at the year before. I knew
Reverend Mash at St. Michaels in the same area and went to visit her to
enquire about volunteering somehow. Within seconds, it seemed, I found myself
at St. Michaels Primary School cleaning out their office, which
had become a storage room.
It was so nice driving into Khayelitsha
back into areas I was so familiar with, seeing familiar faces, and having the
same kids spot me in my car and call my name: Mamazala. They were
so surprised to see me back, to think that I would return to Khayelitsha of my
own free will.
I went to visit all the staff at Lizo Nobanda and
the kids at the daycare, and the kids I had come to know in the neighbourhood.
I quickly got immersed in the life and the kids at St. Michaels School though
and found myself looking forward to every day. A computer had been donated to
the school almost a year before but no one had been able to pick it up, so my
first priority was cleaning out the room and setting up the computer.
Every day when I drove down Mew Way, I scanned the sidewalk looking at
what was for sale. There were many people who would put things out on the sidewalk
windows, doors, wood, beds, cupboards, clothing and I managed to
find a desk and a bookcase for the school office. I then picked up the computer
and got it connected to Telkom. Although this was quite a time-consuming process,
it was nothing compared to keeping the computer connected to the internet and
the phone connected. As I soon found out, the telephone cables between a particular
stretch of poles (maybe because there were no houses around this area) often disappeared
overnight and sometimes in broad daylight. Turns out that the cable can
be sold to a scrap yard for about R200, the scrap yard then resells it for R400
and Telkom pays about R10,000 to replace the cable. My day would either
begin with Yay, the cables are still there or Darn, they took
them AGAIN!. This would lead to anywhere from two days to five days to get
reconnected. I would have to negotiate with the Telkom operators, stressing that
we were a business, that we needed the internet, that we needed the phone service.
Pretty soon the neighbourhood made it know to me that they appreciated my efforts.
Before I came, their phone service would be out for months every time the cables
were stolen, so they were very grateful for my persistence.
I also
helped the kids at the school learn English. Along with Mrs. Nyesi, who taught
grade 1, and Candy, who taught grade R, I got to know the kids: Samkelo, Lukhangele,
Sivuyile, Alisha, Buyiswa, Siyavuya and Vovu to name a few. I had four
pairs of sandals that had been donated by Amos and Andes in Victoria and I used
these sandals as incentive for the kids to learn English. I announced the contest
in the morning: a pair of shoes to the two people who speak the best English by
the end of the term, and a pair of shoes for the two people who show the most
improvement. At break, Lukhangele came into the office where the rule was
English only and said: Mamazala, you are very beautiful. Ha!
He knew exactly who to speak English to one of the judges!
kids and I spent a lot of time together during their breaks. I taught them Red
Rover, Dodge Ball, Hot Box and Go-Go-Go-Stop! We had so much fun. The kids were
quick to learn and it was so much fun to revisit my childhood. We spent one day
cleaning up an empty lot across the street and made that our unofficial
playground. Wed have to clean it up every time we went to play on it because
it was also the unofficial meeting place for older kids in the evenings,
and a dumping ground for all sorts of things.
I also taught them
how to play Fish and on special occasions, four kids would come into my office
to play Fish. The main rule was that they had to speak English during the game.
I wish you could see the little video clip I have of them playing. I dont
know how it happened but they have all the mannerisms of seasoned card sharks.
Some of them didnt quite grasp the concept of keeping their cards hidden,
though, which led to a lot of laughter.
As usual, I took many, many
photographs and this time, with a special gift from my daughter Kaitlyn, I took
many pictures with my new digital camera and then put them on the office computer
so the kids could enjoy looking at themselves!
Eight months went
by very quickly and soon my funds were low and I had to face coming back to Canada,
but this time I was heading to a job up in the Yukon. My old friend Lois offered
me a job and I quickly accepted. It enabled me to work for three months and head
directly back to South Africa.
When I returned this time, I did
some volunteer work with Baphumelele, an orphanage in Khayelitsha. Four staff
members and the director were caring for approximately 20 babies, 25 toddlers
and 40 older children and teenagers. This orphanage had the distinction of being
visited by Elton John, Beyonce and Bono and because of their support, the orphanage
was getting some badly needed help. A number of volunteers helped out and I met
a number of wonderful people from England, Germany and the United States.
What follows is part of an e-mail newsletter I sent to interested friends
at the beginning of 2005. When I first started going to the orphanage
I spent a lot of my time holding babies, changing nappies, feeding them -- and
I loved it!! Nothing like cuddling a wee baby! The babies were kept in their cribs
most of the time, changed infrequently and fed mostly on formula regardless of
age. Their room didn't smell very nice and neither did the babies. The two staff
were overworked and tired. Because it was school holidays, the twenty or so toddlers
were also in their care, and they too spent most of their day in a crib or locked
in a small room, left to their own devices. The staff spent most of their day
cleaning -- the floors, the dishes, the walls, the clothes. I wasn't
too sure what kind of help I was to the staff; in fact, I know I created what
they considered to be more work by bringing the babies out of their room and putting
them on rugs on the floor, or in walkers, or in chairs. Much tut-tutting from
the staff but I couldn't bear seeing the babies lying in their cribs. I did some
ironing of baby clothes one day and questioned the use of it until I was told
that ironing the clothes kept the fleas at bay, so staff end up ironing basket
after basket of baby clothes. Baphumelele is connected with a volunteer
organization in Cape Town and at any given time there are a number of volunteers
willing and able to help but no one really to organize things as Rosie is so busy.
So we volunteers would cuddle the babies and toddlers between us, change them,
feed them, play with them -- and then we'd go, and the babies and toddlers would
go back into their rooms. One particular baby, Baviwe, wasn't doing well
at two months and it was with heavy hearts that we watched his frail little body
struggle. He and his twin sister were in and out of hospital and one morning when
I arrived it was to learn that Rosie and one of the staff had driven Baviwe and
another child to the hospital but on the way (at the robots [traffic lights] as
Rosie cried) Baviwe died. Rosie had come back to the orphanage having left the
staff member and Baviwe at a nearby hospital. But Rosie didn't know what to do.
The staff member was needed at the orphanage and yet Rosie couldn't stay at the
hospital either, so I and another volunteer, Laura, said we'd go to the hospital
to do whatever we could.
It was an unreal morning. Tiny Baviwe
was just lying on a stretcher in a room completely wrapped in a blanket. Outside
that room were moms with their babies waiting to be seen by a doctor. The nursing
staff wanted Baviwe undressed and wrapped in plastic but after I undressed him
I couldn't bear to wrap him in plastic so I first wrapped him in a soft blanket.
Twice I carried him from one end of the hospital to the other passing hundreds
of waiting people along the way as we went in search of the key to the "morgue",
which they couldn't find. So back we'd go to the little examining room. I wondered
if anybody wondered why I was carrying a little bundle wrapped in plastic. It
was obvious that Rosie couldn't stay and so I stayed with Baviwe for what turned
out to be another couple of hours as they hunted for the key. I held him and occasionally
whispered to him, reassuring myself more than anything. Finally they had me bring
Baviwe to their "morgue", which turned out to be just a small room with
a bed frame in it with a door that locked and I placed his little body on the
rusty frame and closed the door. At the end of January Erin and her husband
came to work at the orphanage. They are from the States and their church is sponsoring
them for a year to partner with Rosie to improve the organization of the orphanage.
The first change was to get more staff and then to try to organize the daily activities.
The toddlers were now in a creche across the street so that left just the babies
there during the day -- 15 of them. With five staff, the babies were divided three
to a staff member so that each staff member became the surrogate mom. Erin wanted
each of the staff members to bond with her children so volunteers were asked to
find something else to do other than care for the babies. It was so nice
to come to the orphanage and see the babies out in the middle of the room with
their "moms", playing, being fed, being talked to, and having their
nappies changed at regular intervals. They still hadn't progressed to changing
nappies when needed -- but we were taking small steps. Bottles were made up in
the morning and organized according to time of feeds so that it would be readily
apparent if a baby had been missed being fed. There was "bum time" with
the babies out in the sun half naked to get the sun and fresh air on their sore-looking
nappy rashes. The toddlers and the babies are the lucky ones because
they just moved into a new building. Unfortunately the older kids are housed in
what used to be the old orphanage; the boys are in an extension, which is almost
like a shack, on the large building, and the girls are upstairs. There is no electricity
on the boys' side. I busied myself with cleaning out a small room (about
6' x 6' x 12' high) that was chock-a-block with stuff, so much stuff that one
didn't know what was in there. By the time I had removed everything and put it
outside, I had five strollers (three were broken), four walkers, five travel beds,
five small infant chairs, one car seat, boxes and bags of donated clothing, over
100 pairs of shoes, five single-bed mattresses, boxes of Christmas decorations,
a large bucket of paint and two doors. I made a shelving arrangement with one
of the doors and the frame of a desk that I found in a nearby yard and everything
got placed back in the room, but this time with easy access to individual items.
I also helped rearrange things in the "nursery", having four change
tables moved close to the sink with the necessary soap, washcloths and towels
nearby. I had a discussion with the visiting doctor and nurse who come
twice a week to the orphanage. We talked about how I might best help and it was
decided that I would develop some educational material on child development for
the staff. I was also to take pictures of each of the babies to place above their
crib, with a second copy of their picture to be placed on their medical file,
to help with identification. So that's what I'm doing. I've taken the pictures,
gotten a list of names and birthdates, and am making a sign for each of the babies.
I've also got the educational material organized and it's presently with a Xhosa
friend who is translating it into Xhosa for me. Then I'll make some posters to
put up for the staff. I've also started a bulletin board with photographs of babies,
toddlers, staff and volunteers of Baphumelele. In the meantime, I visited
St. Michael's school and reconnected with all of my friends. The teachers Victoria
and Candy are doing well, and they've added two more teachers but cut back on
the number of children as they found they were getting too big for their small
space. They've also started construction on the new school. I also went
to visit Liso Nobanda and had a wonderful time seeing Zameka, Nomonde, Nomvo,
Nomvulo, and all of the children, but not Sister Brenda. Despite trying to connect
with her we never got a chance to sit down and chat because she was on her way
back to England and another Sister was taking her place at Lizo Nobanda. A lot
of the children I knew from my time there were not at the daycare because they
had started SCHOOL!! My dear friend Nthuthu (Caroline, the cook) was
no longer working for Lizo Nobanda and it took some time trying to reconnect with
her. I went to her home many times but she wasn't there and finally I left my
phone number at Lizo Nobanda for her to get in touch with me. She finally got
in touch and we had a tearful reunion, which became even more emotional when she
disclosed to me that she was HIV-positive, having just found out. All the times
I hadn't been able to find her at her home she had been at the clinic waiting
to see the doctor. She is now waiting to start anti-retroviral medication, which
should happen within the next two weeks. Because she has no work she is having
difficulty getting enough food for her and her son (who is 12), but I'm fortunate
to be able to help her in that regard. She and a friend came into Sea Point one
day to visit and we had a nice lunch and then went for a walk on the beach. She
talked about telling her family that she was HIV-positive and her wish that one
day she would be able to go back to the Eastern Cape to visit them. Unfortunately,
at the time of this writing, Nthuthu is on her way to the Eastern Cape because
she got word that her father had died. Nthuthu will turn 40 on March 10th.
My friend Lois (from the Yukon) came to visit in January and we had a wonderful
experience helping to build a house with Habitat for Humanity. While it was only
a morning spent working on the foundation, I had an awesome time!! There's something
about actually doing physical labour, seeing something come from your own hands,
that is so rewarding. I mean, we only built up three rows of bricks and mortar,
but it was a start and it was nice to be part of that man's dream home. As part
of the process, the homeowner is involved plus other people who have received
homes, and then there are the volunteers. I took a turn at passing bricks along
a human chain, putting sand into wheelbarrows AND mixing the mortar -- that was
the best in terms of building, but the really great part is meeting other people
and being part of a collective moving toward the same goal -- it is so powerful!
I am hoping that I'll get a call to come out for another "build" before
I leave for Canada. On a personal note, Elihle (I have been caring for
her since she was six weeks old and helping her father learn how to be a father)
is almost three (in June) and is growing quickly, speaking lots and -- what a
shock -- has her own mind and a strong will to match!! She speaks English but
understands Xhosa. She seems to enjoy her daycare, is eager to go in the morning
but just as happy to come home when she sees her dad Samuel or I there to pick
her up. She loves to be read to and loves to sing! She still struggles a bit with
chest infections when she gets a cold but they are not as severe as they have
been, mainly because Samuel has become an expert at assessing when she needs to
go to the clinic and get medication. Samuel is well, working six days a week,
and lovingly looking after my car (which I finally got from the garage on December
23rd!!! -- and R12,000 later). It has been hot -- but it is the summer
here -- and I'm definitely not complaining, although there were a couple of days
there in the middle of January where I swear it was about 30 degrees in the middle
of the night!! Elihle and spend most weekends at the pool impersonating fish while
her dad was stuck in the car delivering HOT pizzas! *********************************
On a more personal note, my brother Jerry died at the beginning of January
while traveling in Thailand. He lived in Seattle and made beautiful furniture,
among other things, had a wry sense of humour (did stand-up comedy for a time),
and was a wonderful photographer. One of my best memories of my brother, and I
will be forever grateful, is the weekend I went to Seattle to run in a marathon
-- my first (and last). Jerry didn't seem to be that impressed with what I was
going to do and in fact we got into an argument about what I was supposed to eat
the night before the marathon, him saying that I didn't need to be so bloody picky
insisting on carbohydrates, of all things!!! On our way to thanksgiving dinner
with his in-laws, he not very graciously drove me from store to store looking
for bananas, but of course everything was closed -- it was Thanksgiving in the
USA!!! Needless to say, that evening wasn't the best. The next day it was raining
and cold. We had to get up quite early -- 6 a.m. -- to be at the start. Jerry
knew the start and where to pick me up at the end. He and the girls unceremoniously
dumped me at the start and said see you in six hours, ha ha. Anyway, the marathon
started and off I went, feeling pretty good despite the rain and not being able
to load up on bananas. I settled myself in for six hours of running and wistfully
looked at the groups of runners around me obviously friends running together.
I never felt so alone. As we were running along, probably around the five-mile
mark, we were approaching a pedestrian overpass and people were crowded onto it
to watch the runners. As I got nearer I thought I saw a familiar hat but didn't
quite believe it until I was at the bridge and Jerry and my girls started cheering
for me. From then on, every three to five miles or so, Jerry and the girls would
pop up to cheer me on. At one point, I was soaking wet and cold, and my feet were
aching with every step I took. Jerry came running up beside me with another t-shirt,
which I quickly changed into, and a banana, which I ate in one bite! He and the
girls then drove home, dried my marathon t-shirt, and handed it back to me the
next time they saw me. After 19 miles I wanted to quit so bad and it was only
because of Jerry that I was able to complete my one-and-only marathon because
every time I saw him and the girls I felt a renewed sense of purpose and pride
-- but unfortunately not energy. When I finished, in four hours and four minutes,
I was exhausted but I was still able to see that Jerry was very proud of my run
as he handed me some bagels -- and BANANAS!
We are the sum of our
relationships (Ubuntu a person is not a person without other people) --
thank you, Jerry. ******************************* So in two
weeks I head back to Canada, to Victoria for a week (and I'm so looking forward
to being with Lianne and Kaitlyn) and then back up to the Yukon to work at Hansard
(and looking forward to seeing old -- and new -- friends there). I am so lucky
it is hard to believe it sometimes. I have had the best life and a lot of it is
due to my family and friends who continue to love and support me. Every day I
am here is a gift. Love and thanks to all. Luanna
I am back in Victoria, working full-time so that I can save money to return to
South Africa, hopefully by the end of the year. I try not to think of South Africa
because I find that it makes it harder to live here, so I reassure
myself with the thought that every day I get through here gets me one day closer
to going home. Click

IRVING – Dez Bryant, the Cowboys' leading receiver, may need season-ending surgery to repair the ligaments in his sprained finger. Bryant will visit a specialist for an opinion. Should he need to undergo the surgery, the Cowboys will place him on the Injured Reserve.
"We don't know the extent of the injury, so we're still evaluating that," said Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett. "We'll see exactly what it is and what he's able to do going forward."
Bryant, 24, sprained his finger in the fourth quarter of Dallas's slim victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He left the game for a few plays but eventually returned. Dallas won 20-19; Bryant put up six catches for 50 yards and notched a touchdown in the final quarter.
"[H]e's a real tough guy, passionate about playing," Garrett said in his press conference Monday afternoon. "He certainly made a big play in [Sunday's] ballgame, and I think that's a tribute to his toughness and love of the game."
His finger was in a splint after the game. During a midday press conference from Valley Ranch, Garrett credited adrenaline as the reason Bryant was able to reenter the game and catch a 27-yard score.
The third-year wide receiver has had the best year of his career thus far, logging 1,028 yards on 75 total receptions. He averages 13.7 yards per catch.
At 7-6, The Cowboys will likely need to win the remaining games on their schedule to make the playoffs. They're currently in third place in the NFC East, trailing both the New York Giants (8-5) and the Washington Redskins (7-6).

if we draft jordan reed im going to be pissed. weve already got 1 dissappointing 3rd round TE, we dont need another that drops easy balls as well. Ertz, escobar, or kelce are all much better options than reed
I just don't think Banks' skill set is going to make us a better team. I've never seen him left outside on an island with top receivers, but that is exactly what we would ask him to do here. He's also weak in run support. I just don't buy that Schiano is high on him.Maybe "key members of the staff" like him, but I have a feeling Schiano will make this decision. It's his defense and his ass on the line.
It's time for Tom Riddle's Mock draft: Tom Riddles Mock Draft: 1st Edition.Trade down to 16, and pick up an additional 2nd. 1. Xavier Rhodes CB Florida State

I would love to see more info/support for IIS
19 December 2008 at 4:25am
Like many people, my preference is Linux/Unix for hosting/servers but I'm trapped working in a Windows Server environment. There are also a lot of IIS 5 and IIS 6 servers still out there. I'd like to see more instructions for installation that are IIS-specific (that included recommendations for the best way to install PHP and run SilverStripe on it. (for example, changes to the php.ini file like whether one should, or should not, turn on auto_detect_line_endings).
In particular, we need a good (free) way to handle the rewrite stuff. I think that the IIRF looks like it should work, but since it uses its own .ini file instead of reading the .htaccess files, we need some regex guru to translate the rules that SilverStripe needs (writes in the .htaccess file) and translate it into the IIRF instructions in the .ini files. (Example .ini files are here, including one for Joomla). If someone can provide one for SilverStripe, I'll bet they will include a link on their site to it also.
This would open up SilverStripe to all sorts of additional potential users.

Hi cheekygeek,
We are working on this. We've started with the latest version of IIS - 7.0 - because it has much better support for PHP, as well as a Microsoft-distributed rewrite engine.
The IIRF ini file looks pretty similar to a .htaccess file; if anyone manages to get a working replacement for our standard .htaccess they should post it to the iis-installation wiki page.
cheekygeek, if you want to attempt this, feel free to post back here asking for help .

cheekygeek, I'm assuming you looked at the alternatives mentioned at http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=iis-installation ?
To reiterate with Sam, if you do come up with the .ini answers, please add them as a comment on the wiki page above, as that is the reference page for installing on IIS.

I am thinking IIRF is probably the best option for older servers as well. BUT like everyone else I have failed to get the rewrite rules working correctly so far.
SS works great on our WAMP test server but our production server is IIS6 and our linux server is offshore and appears to be pretty slow for SS.

I just managed to get Silverstripe 2.2.3 work on IIS6.0.
With the help of Helicon ISAPI Rewrite (like mentioned in the installation guide).
But one strange thing happend:
The base url was changed to https !
I finally found out what the problem is:
In sapphire/core/control/director.php
The function protocolAndHost checks the presence of $_SERVER['HTTPS'].
But this is always available on IIS 6.0.
If no SSL is running, it has the value "off".
Ass a quick an very dirty hack I just skipped this line (258) and
and added $s = ''; and now it works.
Of course I have to find a better solution.
I just wanted to let you know.

I agree with gingercat.. I'd really love to see a configuration file for IIRF (http://iirf.codeplex.com).
It shouldn't be too hard to implement, or is it? I had a try with it but got not too far. Hopefully
someone with more IIRF knowledge will help us.

Easy as that.
I also did fun things with redirects and subdomains. Hope it works for you.

By Aalia Shaheed, FOX News
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has introduced a new jail unit
specifically for inmates who served in the military, joining eight other
jail units under his jurisdiction in Phoenix, Arizona.
"They fought for our country. The least we can do is help them. When
some came back, some had mental problems. We have drug prevention
programs, alcoholism," said Arpaio.
Known to some as 'America's Toughest Sheriff," Joe Arpaio has drawn
both intense praise and criticism. From male inmates in pink underwear
to the world's first ever-female chain gang, the sheriff makes no
apologies for the way he runs his jail.
He hopes segregating the veterans will help keep them on the right track.
"I served in the military in the Korean War, so I have a bond with these guys. I want to see them succeed," said Arpaio.
The cell blocks in the veterans' unit are painted red, white and
blue. Flags from all branches of the military hang from the ceiling, and
military themes adorn the walls.
The unit is home to 250 veterans, the majority from Maricopa County's
Durango Jail, which houses over 2,200 general population male inmates.
Inmate Touche Jamar Pouncey is an Operation Desert Storm/Desert
Shield veteran. He is currently in jail for probation violation, and
admits transitioning back to civilian life was a challenge.
"I've seen decapitations, I've seen people burned up. I've seen a lot
of things that affected my brain and why I do the things that I do
now," Pouncey said.
Maricopa County Jail provides special services to the veteran inmates
suffering from PTSD, such as psychological attention and job training.
"Right now, I'm going through a class for depression, stress, and for anger management," said inmate Miguel Angel Valdominos.
Special treatment programs are not the only benefits. Inmates in the
veterans' unit do not see the gang wars that dominate the jail's general
"Where we've come from and what we've experienced throughout the
military is camaraderie. It's deeper than what your race is. Being here
is a blessing because we don't have to deal with the constant violence,"
said Pouncey.
Sheriff Joe says the program is still in the early stages, but he hopes it will keep these inmates on their feet upon release.
"Everyone says they want to help the veterans, but we're actually
doing something about it. We're doing this so these guys don't end up
begging on the streets or back in here," said Arpaio.
