Minutes of the:
STALBRIDGE CC 9th November 2011

Signed as a true record.
The last 12 months have seen the England Cricket Team become the number one test team in the World. This of course is the pinnacle of the game, but without grass roots cricket and in particular youth cricket achievements such as this wouldn't be possible. From Chance to Shine, club and district cricket, the stars of tomorrow are found. Not everyone of course will play for England, but it's important for the future of our game at all levels that we provide the right structure and setting for all of our young players to reach their potential and to enjoy playing. This I truly believe is what we do in North Dorset through the dedication of volunteers across the district at our clubs. Without your support, youth cricket simply wouldn't happen. My grateful thanks go to you all for the considerable time that you give up.
Our league and cup winners this year were as follows:
U9: Winners Stalbridge; Runners up Blandford
U11: Winners Stalbridge "A"; Runners up Shillingstone
U13: Winners Shillingstone; Runners up Buckhorn Weston
U15: Winners Blandford "A" ; Runners up Stalbridge
U15: Winners Stalbridge; Runners up Marnhull
Well done also to Stalbridge U11's who became Dorset county champions by beating Dorchester U11's.
Our congratulations to all.
It was particularly pleasing that we introduced competitive cricket for U9's in 2011. This was an important step forward especially as it links primary school children with clubs. Once again this is an essential part of our development programme and I look forward to seeing this expand in 2012, not only at our clubs but also via the U9 sessions that we intend to run again at Sturminster Leisure Centre on Saturday afternoons.
2011 saw us become more financially autonomous. Although we currently run our own accounts, this step forward gave us full accountability rather than banking some of our income centrally to the Board. As we move into 2012, it's important that we maintain a healthy account. One of the areas where we made a loss was in the district coaching programme with certain age groups. Whilst making a profit isn't the main aim, it's important for us to remain fluid and to that end I am pleased to see some very healthy numbers of players going through the district assessment programme (some 158 in total). We should therefore have good numbers at our coaching sessions at Clayesmore School in the New Year
The Dorset Cricket Board sees NDCA as a good example of how a district association should be run. This of course wouldn't be possible without the time and support of a hard working committee who once again have given up their time to ensure the smooth running of the association. My thanks to you all. Thank you also to our sponsors who continue to provide much needed funds that help underpin our efforts.
Tom Snape provided an outline of income and expenditure for 2011. Income was £7,752 and expenditure £7,756. There are two outstanding unpaid invoices: £200 (donation) from the Ranston Evening League and £50 due from Dykes Supermarket for handbook advertising.
U10s– Lead Coach David Barton, Manager John Harrison
U11s – Lead Coach David Barton, Manager Erica Baker
U12s – Lead Coach Joff Webb supported by Nick Knight, Manager Matt Chant
U13s – Lead Coach and Manager Ian Moore
U14s – Lead Coach and Manager Phil Calcott
U15s - Lead Coach and Manager Tom Snape
Clive Moore proposed that committee be re-elected en bloc, seconded by Hugh Shackell. Motion carried unanimously.
PRESIDENT : Clive Moore, CHAIRMAN :Joff Webb, VICE-CHAIR: Colin Moore, SECRETARY : David Barton, TREASURER : Tom Snape.
ELECTION OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Terry Warder, Chris Baker, Ian Moore, Steve Cake, Phil Calcott, Steve Fowles
Joff Webb is standing down. Any coach interested (minimum qualification is Club Coach) should make contact with Joff Webb in the first instance. A decision will then be made by DCB in the near future
1.) The indoor 6-a –side league will begin on 6th January at Sturminster Newton Leisure Centre and will continue until March 2012. Despite the current difficulties at the leisure centre (withdrawal of District Council funding) NDCA should be able to hire the hall as long as we can provide qualified and insured personnel during matches.
4.) U9 sessions will take place on Sat afternoons 2-4pm from 7th January with the net being available at the same time for 1:1 coaching.
2.) Hugh Shackell asked whether Sherborne School U14s and U15s (who have been invited to District Coaching Sessions) would be available for district matches. Joff Webb assured Hugh that they would be and had played in games during 2011.
3.) Keith Brewer reminded clubs of the importance of updating Clubmark. Bournemouth CC have recently been threatened with expulsion from the Southern league as their Clubmark has expired. Greg Parsons will be in touch with those clubs that need to update (2 in North Dorset).
5.) Keith Brewer will send a list of District Fixtures to David Barton in the near future which will be circulated to clubs. NDCA will be expected to arrange grounds for all these fixtures.
6.) Each district age group will have 3 matches as in previous years. DCB would like to move towards 6 matches in the future (home and away for each fixture). Also there will be a move towards separating District and County coaching sessions in the long run, as and when districts are able to put out teams without including county players. David Barton agreed to place county managers contact details on the website.
7.) U21s have funding for coaching sessions from DCB and about 12 players have expressed interest so far. This may identify new players for Dorset A but will also benefit the clubs in the district. Funding includes a kit bag and 8 weeks of coaching (16 hours). Sessions will make use of those sessions freed up by combining the U14 and U15 coaching sessions.
8.) Joff Webb outlined his proposal for financing district coaches and manager time in 2012 (see appendix). Joff proposed that NDCA adopt this proposal and Phil Calcott seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
The meeting closed at 8.40pm
It has been proposed by the Dorset Cricket Board that a fee of £500 be paid to age group district head coaches for running and administering both the winter training programme and match programme in the summer.
NDCA tends to split the responsibilities between coaching and administration, so therefore the proposal for NDCA is as follows:
Lead Coach to claim in the usual way at £12 per hour for the 24 hours of coaching = £288
Lead Coach to claim in the usual way at £50 per district match = £150
Lead Coach or manager/assistant coach to claim in the usual way for admin = £62
This totals £500
Assistant coach to claim in the usual way at £8 per hour for district coaching
This payment structure will enable recompense not only for district coaching done, but for match and administration time and costs.

Implication of donor suspension of aid to Rwanda over DRC crisis
THE decision of some donors to suspend aid to Rwanda raises a fundamental question on the rationale for rich countries to give aid to poor countries. Is the major reason for aid to reduce poverty and help raise the welfare of the poor in developing countries or is to increase the ability of rich countries to exercise political leverage over them?
The decision on Rwanda will confirm the rarely discussed, but widely held view that the raison d'être for aid is mainly for political leverage. It increases control and potential for arm stringing of the poor by the rich.
Rwanda is consistently rated as a country that uses aid wisely, productively and to the best benefit of its people. The 2010 United Kingdom Department for International Development Department (DFID) evaluation of the impact of UK aid globally, ranked Rwanda highest in delivering best value for every pound of aid given to the country.
Over the last five years alone, with effective use of aid and domestic resources, Rwanda helped over one million of its citizens raise themselves out of poverty. According to the results of the 2011 externally validated household living conditions survey, the poverty headcount reduced by an unprecedented 12 percentage points, with poverty reducing faster in rural areas than urban areas and inequality declining as measured by the geni-coefficient.
This achievement was termed by the highly respected Oxford University Economist, Paul Collier, as a development hat trick – high economic growth resulting in significant reduction of rural and urban poverty, with inequality falling. This means the benefits of a decade of growth are fairly and equally distributed across the country.
Rwanda is one of few sub-Saharan African countries on track to achieve almost all the millennium development goals by 2015.
The country has been able to put all children of school going age in school and they are guaranteed to stay in class until they finish the nine years of basic education. Child mortality has significantly reduced.
The Rwandan population enjoys universal health insurance coverage, guaranteeing access to basic health services.
There is no question that aid to Rwanda reaches those who need it most. It has the desired impact and delivers best value for money. The country has a strong accountable public finance management system, a zero tolerance policy to corruption and robust engagement with donors.
So every pound of aid is accounted for and can be tracked to tangible and verifiable results. There is, therefore, no doubt that if the raison d'être for aid is to reduce poverty and benefit the vulnerable, Rwanda is a star performer.
For donors to suspend aid to the country based on allegations in a highly contested United Nations "Group of Experts" report to the UN Sanctions Committee on DRC raises serious questions about the intentions of donors when they give aid. This has far reaching implications beyond Rwanda.
The crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been around for decades. It didn't start with the M23 which Rwanda has expressly and strongly denied it doesn't support. DRC has experienced over four decades of governance failure, institutional decay, corruption, insecurity and conflict. The current crisis is a direct result of the country's political and historical complexity. This is external to Rwanda which has its own internal priorities of reconstruction after a tragic genocide in 1994.
The carnage, death, loss of life and humanitarian crisis that has gone on for decades in DRC is painful and inexcusable. It must stop. This can be achieved by genuinely addressing the root causes of the cycle of conflict and finding a lasting solution. Any sustainable solution will have to be DRC led. This requires ownership by the Congolese to genuinely seek a political dispensation that will bring durable peace and stability.
Rwanda as a neighbor can only help where it is needed. Indeed Rwanda has been pro-actively engaged with the DRC government and within the framework of the International Conference for Great Lakes led regional initiative to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
The suspension of budget support, despite Rwanda's efforts and demonstrated good will to help ensure stability prevails in the region, while rebuilding after being a failed state in 1994 is a slap in the face. This action harms Rwanda, but will not help DRC either.
Rwanda has built a successful partnership with its development partners. The country has played a key role as an inspiration in the conception and implementation of the Paris declaration on aid effectiveness.
The declaration was fluential in re-shaping the relationship between donors and aid recipients. It sought to re-define the relationship as one of development partnership rather than paternalism. Principles of encouraging countries to own their development process and donors to ensure the quality of aid is improved, predictable and aligned to country owned priorities are at the core of the Paris declaration signed by donor countries and aid recipients.
The framework for mutual accountability has been championed by the OECD-DAC and Rwanda has been hailed as meeting its part of the bargain.
Rwanda has been instrumental in ensuring that this new aid architecture is feasible and works. In December 2011, the country represented Africa and brought the continent's voice at the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, South Korea. President Paul Kagame spoke eloquently in Busan about the strength of this new era of development partnership and the promise it held.
Less than a year after Busan and donors re-affirming their commitment to ensure aid works for the poor, Rwanda, the star performer, is a victim of the violation of the same commitments that donors first agreed on in 2005 in Paris and re-affirmed in the Accra Agenda for action in 2008.
The decision on Rwanda affirms that aid remains very highly politicized. It demonstrates that donors, at the expense of the poor and vulnerable, will use aid to push for political objectives or to reward compliance and punish non-compliance depending on "development partner" interests.
Budget support to Rwanda was frozen not because the country has failed to use it for the benefit of those who need it most, but to influence a political end in the DRC. There is no direct link between what is happening in the DRC and what aid achieves for ordinary Rwandan citizens. This is definitely not the right way to solve DRC's problems. Rwanda should not be penalized for the failures of another country.
Critics of general budget support present it as if donors give the aid to Rwanda as a blank check that government can spend as it wishes. That is not true. The Government of Rwanda in its annual budget preparation works with its development partners to agree on allocations to agreed priority programs and results are pegged on a well defined verifiable results framework. So donors know ahead of time where their money is going and what it will achieve.
While the case of bilateral donors withholding aid due to political consideration may be understood, the worst precedent that has been set is the politicization of the multilateral development agencies – The World Bank and African Development Bank. This is unprecedented and has far reaching implication beyond Rwanda.
The World Bank and the AfDB are development Banks. Politics should be kept out of their business and operations. Rwanda has not violated any agreement with the institutions. Donors must keep politics out of these reputable global organizations whose sole mandate is development and not politicking.
This may be about Rwanda today, but the implications for the functioning, governance, and reputation of these banks and the countries they serve is far reaching and exposes them to risk. This must stop. Rwanda has not violated any terms of the World Bank or the Africa Development Bank and interests in DRC that have nothing to do with Rwanda should not be brought into their governance and decision-making process.
There is no reason for the rich countries of Europe to politicize these institutions. This is a very dangerous path and should not be ignored or seen as limited to Rwanda.
One important point to underscore is that these political decisions directly affect the poor. They compromise the quality of aid which has an adverse effect on the quality of development outcomes and results. But fundamentally the belief that aid is primarily aimed at reducing poverty and improving the welfare of the poor is greatly undermined. Even ordinary citizens begin to perceive aid as a tool only intended for political control and to buy political leverage and influence.
The Rwanda case should therefore not be seen in isolation. It should awaken developing countries to the reality that aid is very volatile. It is intensely more political than we have previously believed. We can no longer claim that aid is fundamentally for poverty reduction and development when at the flimsiest excuse, lives of the poor can be put on line due to political considerations.
Developing countries also need to reflect on the nature of the relationship between donors and aid recipients. Is it truly a development partnership or paternalism? Until recently, Rwanda had believed that the relationship had moved closer to a partnership. Reality has now dawned that aid remains very unpredictable and the donor-aid recipient relationship might be slipping back into the 1960s approach where political, military and economic interests were the major determinants of the nature of aid countries received.
Donor commitments are increasingly becoming a talk-show and mature democracies of the world can renege on their own commitments and fail to honor agreements on aid disbursements without accountability.
I would be curious to know what we would be saying if the Busan High Level Forum on aid effectiveness was happening tomorrow and the evaluation of progress on the forgotten Paris declaration on aid effectiveness was happening today. We certainly have another aid effectiveness show coming in the near future and the same commitments will be rehearsed.

Thank u very much for this article, hope they (Donors) do read New times. I wish we always have people who can putout theirs well organized/composed/clear/full of points views. Your full of Patriotism. Well done.

Financial aid is used by the international donor community to bulldoze poor third world countries. Yes all indices show we have the best value for money use of financial aid, but when it comes to defending our borders, security and integrity, the international donor community use the only tool available, i.e. relying on internationally biased reports to take decisions which eventually end up hurting the poor. But His excellency the president has said it time and again, the culture of begging must end. The dependency syndrome cycle should be broken. Not by any other, but we Rwandan.

I would be extremely amazed if Ms. Greening or her government colleagues seriously lent any credibility to the GoE report on M23 support from Rwanda and Uganda. However few politicians have the backbone to face up to baying editorials and slanted media screeching fed by a "halloed" human rights industry when the target is what they might consider an inconsequential little country in the middle of darkest Africa. These politicians are fully aware that the decision to withdrawal aid to a country that is the very model of aid effectiveness will do long-term damage to the international consensus so painstakingly built up to ringfence aid from the vicissitudes of domestic political pressures to shift resources to other uses in view of tight resources. But politicians are, if anything, highly calculating creatures and are aware that while protecting aid to Rwanda would be the right thing in the long-term, over the short-term, it can only bring them political aggravation from a highly determined and well-organized anti-Rwanda coalition of pressure groups, the media and those who are behind the ongoing covert operation to derail Rwanda's progress. Minister Mushikiwabo may decry, in diplomatic terms, the UK government decision as regrettable. But DIFD Secretary Greening, knows on which side her loaf is buttered and by who. She just isn't prepared to spend any political capital doing the right thing when it may be politically damaging. Poor woman; she probably gets heartburn every time she sees a country dossier on her desk if the name begins with the letter "R".

I would like to thank deeply the author of this news paper article for informing us very clearly if what is happening with our tax in the UK. We have seen wars and conflicts in many parts of the world but we have never heard that a conflict in a large country like DR Congo caused by Congolese rebels who expressed their disappointment from their own government that fail to pay wages, look after their soldiers, police and security officers. A country where minorities have to build their own system of protection most of the time against violence caused by unpaid member of DRC forces.We have learnt that Libyans and Syrians can fight their own regimes if they believe the regimes have failed to provide them with security and protection. We have even seen the UK and other countries lending support to these rebels so that they can bring order and protect civilians from real harm.East of DR Congo has been a dangerous place for many years and so many people have died and so many women have been raped. This have been witnessed by many independent observers.We have seen rebels moving in Goma. They did not harm civilians. We saw on Al Jazeera that DRCongo army and police joining the rebels and accepting to work for them as long as they can pay their wages and protect civilians. It is clear therefore that the UN huge budget has not worked for Congolese people's safety. The UN failed to build an Army that will protect civilians or give them confidence and hope for future.Why then Rwanda on news? Rwanda had its fair of loss in life in 1994 when a million of people were killed while they were waiting to get UN protection. UN then handed the country to French troops who just left the country in mess and allowed Old Rwandan Arm Forces to move in the Congo with military equipment, guns etc why then the UK and other western countries are so surprised that Congo is in mess today.How will Rwanda deal with poor people who depended on international aid? Why punishing Rwanda that has a good leadership and where money is being used according to millennium development goals in line with WB 2015 and Rwanda vision 2020. A country that uses the money for civilians and feed its children, educate young and old citizens and lift them from poverty.We were told by the UK government minister Andrew Mitchell MP and labour government before this administration great story when Gorden Brown praised aid work in Rwanda.It seems that UK want Rwanda to become a country where Congolese rebels must be taken to jail as that Rwanda before did to the Congolese dissident ex Army General Laurent Nkunda in 2008.Congolese problems are deeper that Rwanda can arrest rebels. It is fair to respect Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and other regional leaders to bring about reconciliation between DR Congo and its rebels who have serious concerns and grievances against thier government.Meanwhile, I find disgraceful that the tax payers' money designated for aid to Rwanda can be frozen. It is unfair to Rwandan poor. It is an insult to genocide survivors who Rwanda have to look after after terrible failures were rightly blaimed to the UN at all levels. Rwandans have right to the aid money for the loss they have to put up with. Rwandans need a chance to lead a decent life and have a right to fight poverty. One million of active citizen is a big loss to cope with. UK government think about your action before you seriously damage Rwandan progress. Rwanda can help Congo recover from their mess. Two failed countries will not help each others. Rwanda can educate the region how to handle money for development and poverty reduction.The UN have a responsibility to respect region efforts to build a peaceful resolution for durable peace in the region. They must stop undermining regional leaders by issuing reports that are not balanced and where no credible evidence is found. They must stop using 1 billion just to their pockets. That money is needed for development in the region. UN troops have not stop suffering or exploitation of mines by rich companies exploiting children and local poor people.Aid has to be reinstated to Rwanda in efforts to build on the development before people are back to poverty and the nightmares of the past 18 years.ThanksAmdani Jumaa Burundian and Reandan germicide survivor in 1994

Thank you for a well written article explaining how rich countries are using aid to exercise political pressure over poor countries, how they think that being rich gives you a moral superiority over poor. When facing this injustice, I'm proud to live in the country of agaciro-dignity.
00:04:52 Tuesday 04th, December 2012 Kigali - Michel Bezy
Thank you for this very insightful and important piece. Too often the central goal of aid disbursement differs between that of donor governments (aid to be used as a political tool) and donor nation citizens (aid to be used to help) who are actually providing the tax dollars/pounds.

Well done. Beautiful article. I agree with you that aid is tool for politic leverage for certain countries. In fact this is not news. But we need to be fair with donors that when they started giving aids to Rwanda they were not planning on using it against Rwanda. Suspending aid is a reaction, not an action that was planned. Rwanda certainly is the best country in term of aid effectiveness but this should not excuse accountability over actions of certain rwandans (military) taking advantage of the chaos in the eastern DRC. In the street of Kigali everybody knows that most of the rwandan demobilized soldiers are hired by many of the so called "Congolese Rebels". Those rwandan demobilized soldiers are keeping themselves busy and making money in the DRC. This is not a secret.One more thing the author of this article chose to mention is the role of Rwanda in the last two wars in the DRC. The author said the conflict started decades ago and has nothing to do with M23, yes. M23 is just a transformation of another rebel group CNDP that was mainly composed by ex rwandan demobilized soldiers, previously fighting with the "RCD", which comes from "rebels" that decided to fight Kabila when he broke the alliance with the Rwanda army that helped him become the president (James Kabarebe was the minister of defence in the DRC then). All these events happened only a decade ago, one can google them.However, I agree that with that suspending aid is not the solution but it's clearly a message. The concept of "Do No Harm" apply for the innocent (women and children) Rwandan that are paying the price of this in Rwanda but also the victims of greedy and cruel M23.I am not expecting this post to be published but I am writing it anyways.Concerned citizen (

The arrogant decision of the rich western countries and financial institutions like the WB, etc.. to unjustifiably cut aid from Rwanda will harm the poor Rwandans but at the end, we will emerge out stronger. It is a bitter lesson that we can't rely on the so called development partners. This is not the first time they are leaving Rwandans during the time of need! It is just a repeat of history. One thing they can't take from Rwandans - AGACIRO. How I wish they had it! We will continue to use,share the little we have with efficiency and love.

Forsyth--Region realignment wasn't the only topic of discussion at Monday's fall meeting of the GHSA's executive committee.
The committee also passed a rule regarding a mercy rule in football. The rule, which is effective immediately, states that a team that is trailing by 30 or more points at halftime has the option of letting the clock run without stopping in the second half.
If the coach of the trailing team declines to let the clock run but is still trailing by 30 or more points at the end of the third quarter the clock will run without stopping for the remainder of the game.
The GHSA also changed the tiebreaker rule in soccer. Teams will now get three points for a win, one point for a tie and zero points for a loss. There will also be no overtime during the regular season. Teams will only be able to play an extra period in region games and the state tournament.

Watkins' ex-girlfriend 'devastated it took so long'
Ian Watkins' ex-girlfriend Joanna Majic claimed today that his cynical predatory approach was successfully used in hundreds of other cases.
Asked in an interview with Real Radio how she felt about yesterday's outcome, she said:
– Joanna Majic
I don't feel happy about it. I don't feel vindicated. I'm just devastated that it took so long.
I've always said to the police, there's hundreds of victims out there and you're never going to find them because the mothers are in on it.
Miss Majic spoke of his attempts to get her to take drugs and the abuse from fans she suffered, possibly directed by Watkins, after reporting him to the police.
The first occasion was 2008. She said:
– Joanna Majic
I don't know what he had done by then because I still don't know, but in my mind he wouldn't have gone on.
He wouldn't have got so cocky and so 'Oh, I've got away with it before. I'll just push it and see how much I can get away with', and he was getting off on that.
Every time I went to the police he was getting off on the fact that I was made to look an idiot.
Documents seen by ITV News claim police knew of Ian Watkins abuse from December 2008

Backpacker Magazine – August 2010
This bivy stuffs smaller than a soda can.
I think you guys are missing the point.
In the pyramid of hiking gear you can have something that is two of the three:
This thing is pretty cheap and very lightweight. It is therefore fragile. Treat your lightweight gear well and it should be fine.
Seriously what is wrong with you people running this magazine? For $125 I could get a better airline flight that wouldn't put me in a survival situation to begin with!! We're average Joe's here with things called bills!! How bout testing somethin that a) won't rip unless you stand at a 135% angle, with your left leg perpendicular to your waist, while balancing 3 apples on your head and b) is something we would actually consider buying!! - For a great magazine, you guys sure are trying to lose readers with all this crap...
I think you are so right Fred This mag is very expensive. You can get many durable cheaper things from walmart!
Seriously? What good is a piece of survival gear if it's that delicate? And for $125!? You guys really are living in another world.
"Stand in the foot section and pull it over your head before kneeling or sitting." So we sleep with our head in the foot section of the bag and the feet sticking out the hood? I don't get it.
Fred is right.. for that kinda money, it should be durable. For roughly the same cost, one could get a Sea to Summit, Reactor Thermolite bag liner, and a small lightweight silnylon tarp. For a few added ounces, you would be much better off to handle any survival situation. JMO SD
A hundred and twentyfive bones for something that if you are not careful might rip!? What world are you guys from? Perhaps your magazine might be labeled the Rich and the Frivolous. These items are cool but call me when the knife costs $20 and the Bivy won't rip.

3Best And Worst Celeb Looks Of The Last Week of October
It's been a while since we've had a best and worst celebrity looks of the week, so here we go. This is from the last week of October. I chose Kelly Osbourne for best celebrity dressing up as another celebrity. That's her above as Christina Hendricks. Pretty dead-on.
I promise not to overdo it on the Halloween costumes.
Let's just get this out of the way: Hugh Hefner as Robin Thicke and Crystal as Miley. [shudder]
Here we have Courtney Stodden's incredible weave and…well, everything. This picture was not manipulated in any way.
1980′s Cher, are you back? Nope, just Lady Gaga.
Diane Keaton, still doing her Annie Hall thing. More like just-a-touch-of-steampunk Annie Hall.
[Image removed on request]
Not sure who/what exactly Gwen Stefani's Halloween costume is, but the hair/makeup is honestly a good look for her.
Kanye and Kim, out celebrating her birthday. I don't care, I f-cking LOVE Kanye's blazer. Don't like how long his shirt sleeves are, they kind of ruin the jacket by sticking out that much, but whatever, love it. And I think Kim looks ridiculous. But it's her birthday, and you can wear whatever you want on your birthday, that's my rule.
Now please exclusive me, I HAVE to share these photos of Matt Lauer dressed as Pamela Anderson:
I see Dee Snyder. One million percent Dee Snyder.
Now for the real Pamela Anderson:
She got a pixie cut!
Cobie Smulders. So much better than what she wore to the Emmys. Not sure about that hair, though…
Here's Kate Walsh, at the same event. Damn, someone got crazy-skinny. I like this outfit, I love what the cropped leather jacket brings to it. I would have chosen different shoes. Something a little less prim and pointy. It's interesting how much younger her whole look is than Cobie's, and she's 16 years older.
Naomi Watts, at an after-party for the Diana premiere. Sorry, I think she is way too skinny to pull off this dress. Jesus, why is everyone so skinny??
And finally, actress Rachel Rossin is basically wearing a t-shirt with pantyhose and boots.

The curtains were also a cheap trick! I went to Home Fabrics and found a white fabric for $5/yd. I was so nervous you'd be able to tell the fabric was so cheap. I found a seamstress and had them made professionally with a french pleat.
The black leaning mirror I received for Christmas, also five years ago, it can still be found here.

The perfect meld of punk energy and hard rock is realized on Motorhead's self-titled album. This is music that demands to be heard.
Motörhead Biography - Motörhead Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Now remastered with added gut-wrenching bass, this debut album from Motorhead was cut in 1977 over a few speed-driven days at Escape Studio, and it shows. From the opening bass roar of the eponymous title track it is non-stop, relentless, churning, brain damaging, heavy rock'n'roll. This is no ponderous heavy metal band fronted by some poodle-headed castrato – no, this is the real deal, down dirty and greasy and with its boots firmly rooted in rock 'n' roll.Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister had the right background to finally create Motorhead in 1975. Brought up on rock 'n' roll in the 50s he had been a member of the Shel Talmy-produced beat group the Rockin' Vicars, had a stint as roadie for Jimi Hendrix and was then in Roundhouse favourites Sam Gopal's Dream in 1969, before joining the ultimate psychedelic weirdos Hawkwind.However Lemmy was too much for them and was deported after a slight altercation with customs over substances at the Canadian border. Hawkwind's loss was the world of rock 'n' roll's gain as the group, first named Bastard, renamed Motorhead, was founded. The blue touch paper was effectively ignited on a new and lethal approach to 'heavy music', culminating in the spawning of speed metal by the 'bastard children' of Lemmy's brain child.After a disastrous beginning and a couple of false starts and personnel changes, Motorhead accidentally made an album for Chiswick Records. It started out as a farewell single and ended up as the beginning of a career that continues to this day.Not only is this issue remastered from the original analogue mixes, bringing out the full frequency, in-your-face grunge, but there is a sleeve note from Chiswick Records supremo Ted Carroll telling the full hair-raising story of the roller coaster ride that was the making of Motorhead by Motorhead. We have added City Kids, the B-side to the Motorhead single and the four cuts that appeared on the later out-takes EP Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers released first in 1980.As Lemmy once said… "If Motorhead moved in next door to you, your lawn would probably die." You better believe it!Roger Armstrong, Ace Records UK

This is supposed to be remastered audio from 2007, they could have done a better job.
Without this album,or this band,the evolution of "Heavy/Thrash Metal" would have been totally different or not at all.If this record had not been released and Motorhead had folded(which was a distinct possibility at the time)then it is conceivable that you would not now have the Metallicas and Slayers of this world. What has to be understood about this album is the musical environment it was released into.At the time there was NOTHING that sounded like this or was as heavy as this and it took the rock fraternity of the time and blew the top of its collective head off.This is also a damned good album and most of the songs here are classics,real rip-roarers that have stood the test of time.OK,by todays standards the recording quality is not quite up to scratch but don't let that bother you.Just turn your hi-fi up as loud as it can phisycaly go and enjoy an album which changed the course of rock forever.
Originally released in 1977,a year or two after Lemmy exited Hawkwind.As most of you probably know,this is Motorhead's stunning debut record. So good to finally get it on CD.Simply outstanding British metal.Does it get any better than this?I could listen to this CD two or three times in a row,it's THAT good. Tracks that more than make this disc a true keeper are the opener, title cut-the band's namesake "Motorhead", "Lost Johnny", the slammin' "Iron Horse/Born To Lose", "Keep Us On The Road" and "City Kids" (also liked the Pink Fairie's version of this tune). Plus you get four(4)bonus cuts tagged on. Line-up: Lemmy-bass&vocals,Larry Wallis(former Fairies member)-guitar and Lucas Fox(R.I.P.)-drums. So highly recommended,it hurts.
This is Motorhead in the early years and is still the best. Lost Johnny, Iron Horse and The Watcher are classics.

What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
Individuals with EDS have a defect in their connective tissue, the tissue that provides support to many body parts such as the skin, muscles and ligaments. The fragile skin and unstable joints found in EDS are the result of faulty collagen. Collagen is a protein, which acts as a "glue" in the body, adding strength and elasticity to connective tissue.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by articular (joint) hypermobility, skin extensibility and tissue fragility. There are six major types of EDS. The different types of EDS are classified according to their manifestations of signs and symptoms. Each type of EDS is a distinct disorder that "runs true" in a family. This means that an individual with Vascular Type EDS will not have a child with Classical Type EDS.
What are the symptoms of EDS?
Clinical manifestations of EDS are most often joint and skin related and may include:
Joints: joint hypermobility; loose/unstable joints which are prone to frequent dislocations and/or subluxations; joint pain; hyperextensible joints (they move beyond the joint's normal range); early onset of osteoarthritis.
Skin: soft velvety-like skin; variable skin hyper-extensibility; fragile skin that tears or bruises easily (bruising may be severe); severe scarring; slow and poor wound healing; development of molluscoid pseudo tumors (fleshy lesions associated with scars over pressure areas).
Miscellaneous/Less Common: chronic, early onset, debilitating musculoskeletal pain (usually associated with the Hypermobility Type); arterial/intestinal/uterine fragility or rupture (usually associated with the Vascular Type); Scoliosis at birth and scleral fragility (associated with the Kyphoscoliosis Type); poor muscle tone (associated with the Arthrochalasia Type); mitral valve prolapse; and gum disease.
How prevalent is EDS?
At this time, research statistics of EDS show the prevalence as 1 in 2,500 to 1 in 5,000. It is known to affect both males and females of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

ANDERSON — Rebuilding years for a college program often involve many ups and downs. The Anderson University women's basketball team experienced both Saturday during the season opener at O.C. Lewis Gymnasium as the Ravens fell to the Lindenwood Lynx 85-75
With the graduation of Amy and Ashley Wuestefeld, Ravens coach Marcie Taylor was left searching for a way to replace the 23.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game the twin duo accounted for during Anderson's 8-17 campaign a year ago.
This year's Ravens team is a sort of youth movement with seven freshmen on the roster, five of whom saw action Saturday, and one stood out — Shelby Shaffer.
"She is phenomenal," Taylor said. "We knew she was good in high school, and this offense helps her thrive because it gives her a lot of space to do things. We are excited to have her for four years."
The 5-foot-3 point guard showed the skill of a veteran as she orchestrated the Ravens offense for the entire 40 minutes of play. She led Anderson in points with 20 and rebounds with eight. Her four assists and two steals tied for the team high.
"She plays so hard," Taylor said. "Her MO in high school a little bit was that she would get hurt occasionally, because she plays so hard, but out of fatigue ... fatigue can lead to injuries. We can not afford to have her get hurt."
Shaffer showed her fearlessness when she drove the lane with the much taller Stephanie Cathcart, 6-1, defending the basket. The former Center Grove star tossed in an acrobatic shot and drew the foul for the old fashion three-point play.
"I don't let their height intimidate me," Shaffer said.
Other double-figure scorers included sophomores Cassidy Mutz (11) and Mallory King (14) and junior Cori Conner (18).
Where Anderson was hindered was overall team speed, which the Lynx had, and that translated in them having the ability to drive to the basket and outscore the Ravens 46-24 in the paint.

The Kansas City Bulldogs are made up of boys from kindergarten through seventh grade. It's an inner city league that needs the public's help.
The football team started nearly ten years ago, taking kids from throughout the metro and giving them a chance to play some football.
Through the game, Coach Steve Brown said he's able to teach critical life lessons and give a lot of kids a chance to flourish through teamwork.
The team is in dire need of helmets and pads for its young athletes. They're going to try and raise about $10,000 from donations and through hosting fish dinners.
Brown said he is continually amazed by the boys and doesn't ever want to see an end to the program.
"The team means a lot to me. Each member of the team I look as one of my own kids. The reason I started the league back in 2003 was because I noticed the underachievement and lack of discipline from our youth in the community," said Brown.

The Winemaker's Dinner: Appetizers (The Winemaker's Dinner, #1)
by Dr. Ivan Rusilko and Everly Drummond
Published on:July 31, 2012 by Omnific Publishing
Recently named executive chef at one of Miami Beach's hottest restaurants, Jaden Thorne is determined to make her culinary mark and fulfill her professional dreams. When Jaden is given highly coveted tickets to the ultra-exclusive Winemaker's Dinner, she jumps at the opportunity to meet South Florida's wealthiest and most influential food and wine enthusiasts.
Jaden's eyes are drawn to the VIP section even before the appetizers appear, but she soon finds herself thinking less about networking and more about the intriguingly sexy stranger eying her from across the room. After dinner, what begins as a light-hearted flirtation unexpectedly catapults into a night of explosive passion. But when morning dawns, Jaden leaves her sleeping Mr. Oh So Sexy behind, sure they'll never see each other again.
Dr. Ivan Rusilko, a handsome, young physician, boasts an extensive resume' and a well-established position on Miami Beach's social scene. But despite his success and glamour, he's routinely had to suffer uninspiring dates and doomed relationships. With a romantic heart, Ivan's not the love-'em-and-leave-'em type. But when he awakens to find that the girl in the red dress has done exactly that, he resolves to find her–only if it's just to ask why she left without even a kiss goodbye.
The Winemaker's Dinner is a fictionalized erotic memoir inspired by the romantic triumphs and tragedies of Dr. Ivan Rusilko's real life. Weaving fact with fantasy, authors Everly Drummond and Dr. Ivan Rusilko have gifted readers with a swoon-worthy flesh and blood romantic hero and the intoxicating bouquet only a heartfelt tale of passionate love can create.
The Winemaker's Dinner website
The Bookish Brunette thought:
Jaden gets tipsy at the Winmakers Dinner (am i the only one singing 'You can find me in da club, bottle full of bub' in my head?) while ogling a man who she says is "out of her league". She starts to wander the grounds and ends up at a fountain, she just can't help but dip her feet in. O_o
Low and behold, the mystery man she'd been undressing with her eyes all night, comes up behind her! After a short back and forth, Super McHotty puts his jacket around her… At this point- Jaden is too breathlessly vulnerable and he's a bit too "formal" for my taste.
What? I like MANLY, macho guys… Not someone who comments on how I shouldn't leave expensive shoes on the ground and makes jewelry. (Seriously… Hubs breaks out my beads and starts stringing them up- I'm taking his man card.)
Her body is "quivering" at his touch on her cheekbone by 5% in… And I'm thinking, "Where's the build up?"
They're kissing for seemingly no reason soon after. And I'm wondering, "Is it the wine?" Because no matter how hot the guy- unless it's Charlie Hunnan (I mean SERIOUSLY) – then there's no way I'm going to be all aflutter and passionately kissing after three rushed statements of conversation.
Jaden was not really my cup of expensive espresso… She reminded me of those 'fainting heroine' types with little to no personality. And Ivan was very… Prissy?
The Winemakers Dinner was a bit out there for me… I like romance/hot sex to seem realistic, even if it IS fiction. Ivan is very seemingly regal, but considering he's Mr. USA, a doctor and umpteen other things- I suppose it's to be expected… But he slips into a "normal dude" every once in a few paragraphs when Jaden isn't 'fluttering' or 'breathless'…
The Winemaker's Dinner has some hot sex, with an over the top romance. Not really a typical adult romance read for me… I prefer tough guys and smart-mouthed chicks, but that's just me!
This is a slow, deliberate romance… There's not really any ACTION … unless you count the sex. The Winemakers Dinner is a chronicle of the beginning of Ivan and Jaden's relationship, and their quick, yet intense path to love.

As I wrote in a post missplaced in the off-day thread, there is a general feeling judging by the recent interviews of the players and SVG that they will be some line up changes or "experimentations" this year. We all know that teams in the east are building themselves to match-up better with Orlando and as Redfield's post learned us, the nba has a new rule that seems been created especialy for Stan but the Magic are going through some change of the own to be better prepared.
Lewis had a video on the Sentinel saying he'll be palying the 3 spot too, Otis said that Bass gonna have more playing time, Gortat seems to believe that the twin towers will be more used this season, Stan tries to build better chamistry with his players etc...
It is certain that this kind of fondamental changes need time to gel. Peronnaly I trust SVG, I believe that some adjustements need to be made to a certain degree and the organisation seems once again as winning it all is the only target.
Do you think if the game plan will change, we should anticipate some transition period ?
Do you think that it's OK to get less wins during the regular season in order to gel things and have more options in the playoffs ?
Or you think that no changes need to be made at all ?

LAPEL — The Cat in the Hat and the Lorax weren't present at Lapel Elementary School on Monday, but third-graders welcomed another special guest to help them celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday.
Cheri Daniels, the first lady of Indiana, read the Seuss classic "Are You My Mother?" to the third-grade class of Margie Sturgeon and student teacher Leigh Ann Schnepp.
Lapel was the third stop on Daniels' school reading tour Monday, a practice she typically does to stress the importance of reading. Monday, however, was special, as the students celebrated Read Across America Day in honor of Seuss.
"They have to learn to read," Daniels said of the students. "They have to like to read, because that's sort of the gateway to their success."
Daniels picked "Are You My Mother?" because it was a favorite book of her four daughters, she said.
After reading the story aloud to the class of students donning construction paper Cat in the Hat hats and ties, Daniels answered their questions, from her favorite foods — spaghetti and fried chicken — to what it's like to be the first lady.
"I just get to be called the first lady because I'm married to the governor," Daniels answered to a curious student who wondered if she really was the first lady ever in Indiana.
Daniels described the governor's residence and busy campaign times and said she was able to have family dinner with her husband most days of the week.
"We connect almost every evening," she told the students.
Students in the class, which next will read "Charlotte's Web," enjoyed meeting Daniels.
Student Taylor Ramsey said her favorite part was when Daniels mentioned her high school, New Albany High School, had the same mascot as Lapel, the Bulldogs.
"It was fun to meet the governor's wife and that she got to answer our questions," Ramsey said. "We also got her signature and autograph."
Regan Sanzone loved hearing about how Daniels occasionally goes to Indianapolis Colts games, and Spencer Hampton thought it was interesting that Daniels attended Indiana Pacers games.
"I thought it was really cool that she liked the Bulldogs," Hampton said.

IOWA CITY -- Josh Oglesby connected on his first four 3-point attempts this season, but the Iowa junior's most important contributions occurred last week in Columbus.
Oglesby scored eight points with one assist and no turnovers in 17 minutes to help guide the Hawkeyes to an 84-74 upset of then-No. 3 Ohio State. Oglesby, a 6-foot-5 Cedar Rapids native, hit a 3-pointer in the first half to push Iowa up four points. His offensive output was even more vital in the second half.
With Iowa trailing by three points, Oglesby drilled an open 3-pointer to tie the game with 7:30 left. After the Buckeyes took a two-point lead, Oglesby scored on a layup to knot the game once again.
"I think with confidence, it helps me a lot moving forward," Oglesby said. "Just to see the ball go in and play in crunch time and making a big 3 down the stretch in the second half was huge for myself."
Oglesby missed the first six weeks with a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot. It was surgically repaired, and Oglesby returned Dec. 22. He has played sparsely since returning but was vital down the stretch against Ohio State.
Oglesby played 13 minutes in the second half against Ohio State. He competed at the top of Iowa's 2-3 zone on defense and was effective passing the ball on offense.
"He defends," Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said. "I say it over and over, he's not a mistake guy. He's going to shoot 3s. He's going to back cut and make a layup. His closeouts in the zone were incredible. His awareness of where to go, where to be, and how quickly he had to get there ...� he takes advantage of his length and his size at his position. He's going to be a valuable part of our team."
It was an understatement to say Zach McCabe struggled last Sunday at Ohio State.
The Iowa senior missed all eight shot attempts in 16 minutes. Two of his shots hit nothing but air, and OSU's students made sure he knew it.
But McCabe was effective in other areas outside of shooting. He had four rebounds and three assists. One of his misses was easily put back for a score by Jarrod Uthoff. McCaffery said he won't discourage McCabe from shooting.
"I think in all honesty he may be rushing a little bit," McCaffery said. "I may talk to him about that, but I thought his shots were good.� I thought he made a couple of them.� He didn't. He still was really good on the defensive end, and he makes the great pass to Josh on the back cut.� He's a very effective player even if he's not making 3s, but I think he will."
Iowa's 11-man rotation trimmed to nine for most of the Hawkeyes' game against Ohio State. Freshman shooting guard Peter Jok didn't play, and sophomore point guard Anthony Clemmons played for just five minutes. McCaffery acknowledged he might tighten up the rotation the rest of the way.
"It's possible. I don't want to. It's not going to be by design," McCaffery said. "It will be a game-by-game thing. With the way Josh played the other day, it precluded Clemmons from coming back in. That happened."
NOTES: It�s the 193rd meeting between the long-time rivals. It�s Iowa�s most-played series, and Minnesota has played Wisconsin also 193 times. Minnesota leads Iowa 101-91. ... It�s also the first of seven consecutive sellouts at Carver-Hawkeye Arena to finish the regular season.

I have purchased a new guitar. It is an archtop jazz guitar. She has been named Sophia.
This guitar was built by Carl Barney. Carl is a CT Luthier who is an extremely skilled instrument craftsman. He's also a wood trader, which results in not only top notch handiwork, but also an impressive selection of wood used in the guitar. The face of the guitar is Maple, the back is beautiful Cocobolo.
Note the five strips of wood in the neck. The center wood is Cocobolo sandwiched between thin strips of ebony, then maple. The wood and direction of grain is chosen to increase the rigidity and prevent potential for neck warping.
Also, you'll note the thin binding strip of wood that follows the outside profile of the guitar. That wood is bubinga. Cocobolo and bubinga are both very dense woods and considered a bonus in instruments.
The pick guard and neck are ebony. The pickup is a single humbucker. I don't recall the exact materials used in the neck inlays, the white squares are mother of pearl but I don't recall the material of the luminescent triangles within those squares.
I'm extremely excited about this purchase. I spent a long time talking to Tony Guitar about the pluses and minuses of this guitar, and together we could only really list positives. The guitar is very much a jazz guitar. It's got an extremely clear tone and makes 13 chords sound like heaven. It has some volume when left unplugged, but is meant to be played through an amp as its pickup is mounted through the guitar face into a block of maple behind the face and its total width is thin.
The guitar itself is small. It has a 16 inch neck, but a very deep cutout to aid in the shredding of high notes. The guitar's slight frame coupled with its inssaaaaane action, result in it playing very fast.
I think it's time I record a few new selections for the music section of the website.
Also? I need to practice more.

Gorgeous! Did your luthier wind the humbucker too? It's a pure archtop too (no centerblock – completely hollow body), right?

Nope, he bought a high end humbucker… I forget the brand off the top of my head. And nay, it's not a pure archtop, there is a centerblock – hence the embedded humbucker and the anchored bridge.
Chris Reply:
March 22nd, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Yeah, the anchored bridge is the thing that made me tip my head. Most archtops have the humbucker in the neck position though – so, that didn't raise any flags.

Oh, and I love the wood grains! Especially the maple top's grain is impressive.

[Video] Drake announces the title of his upcoming third album "
Shortly after debuting the video for his new single"Started From The Bottom," Drake has announced the title for his upcoming third album.
During an interview with Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the 2013 Grammy Awards, Drizzy told E! that his next LP will be titled Nothing Was The Same. He gave few details on the project, but said that it will be an extension of his last album Take Care.
"I think music, it's a process we all go through," he said. "It's an evolution. You're constantly figuring out what works for you. Should you direct your own videos? Should you be more involved in certain aspects? With Take Care, I really found myself, found my stride. I'm excited to continue on with the new album, the album is titled "Nothing Was The Same". I'm just excited about life in general."
Earlier this evening, Drake won Best Rap Album for Take Care.

Many people want to have a nice garden and landscaping to improve how our home looks. This is a good idea, until you don't do the appropriate maintenance, such as pruning the plants when they needed it. When this occurs, the landscape design, which you invested a lot in, now looks worse than ever. There are a few tips that you can carry out to help take care of your garden.
Pruning is one of the important things you can do to take care of your garden. Should you be new to pruning, don't be concerned about making mistakes because the plants will certainly grow back. It isn't smart to water your plants at night or your plants could be damaged. Excessive humidity might be experienced in the summer, which can give your garden many problems. Ideally you should keep your plants dry and fresh at night by just tucking them in. When you have ornamental plants, you need to be concerned about a common fungus called powdery mildew. White film that you discover on the leaves will be the fungus. In order to keep the development of this fungus from spreading you need to do efficient gardening. It is often eliminated by spraying the core of the garden with a general fungicide.
A fungus identified as Pythium Blight is going to be a concern if you live in the north and you are growing perennial Rye grass. The fungus flourishes at night in significant humidity. The Pythium Blight should look like pieces of white cotton candy thrown across your yard. It is easily found along pathways and driveways or other areas that tend to get moist. You'll be able to limit the growth of the fungus by watering your plants in the early part of the day. Another prevalent summer fungus is the Fire Blight. Apple trees, crabapple trees, cotoneasters and Pyracantha are a handful of what this fungus likes to attack. If perhaps branches start to turn red and die then you know that you have Fire Bright. It is often stopped by pruning the afflicted plant, by removing the branch as far away from the main plant as possible. Because the Fire Blight can spread rather quickly, I suggest you burn the pruned branches. Once you have finished pruning the branches, dip the shears in alcohol to prevent the spread of the fungus.
Short gun fungus prefers to develop on mulch and it swells up. Since they can fly up to 8 feet in the air, your house could easily be covered by these brown fungal specks. They hold fast to the home's windows and walls like glue. This fungus may not be prevented, but provided that your mulch is loose so air can circulate, the fungus will stay out. Because mulch is usually vital to your garden, you must make sure that it doesn't get overly packed and use it regularly to avoid excessive rotting.
When you do routine maintenance, you should not encounter any problems with your garden or your lawn. If you wouldn't like to do it all the time, you should hire someone to do it for you.

Cadbury Screme Egg Commercials
October 25th, 2012 by Rosa
Via AdFreak, Cadbury's been promoting their new Halloween Screme Eggs (really just Cadbury Creme Eggs with a gross green center) with a fun series of commercials in Canada. I especially like that the regular eggs apparently talk only in "Goos".

Albany-- For the next four days you can shop for back to school items and not pay a penny in sales tax. For the third year, Georgians will get relief from state sales tax.
For some, it's like Christmas in July. But others, who hate fighting the crowds, aren't so jolly.
Brittany Layton and Kasey Conley shop as a pair. It helps them keep an eye on the how much the other is spending. "I'm trying to get what I need first and then go into clothes because I usually go over board with clothes," says Layton.
This year Kasey will be a senior in high school and she will have a lot of expenses. And both girls say the tax free holiday will help them stretch their dollars. "I'm going to be on a tight budget this year and stuff and I know I'm going to have to put out some money and save," says Conley.
"I really like the tax free because it gives you an opportunity to save a little bit of money and you can get the stuff you need," says Layton.
And retailers say they're ready to serve. Many are stocking up in anticipation of large crowds of shoppers, many of whom will buy the school supplies, foot wear, clothing and computers being offered tax free.
But those big crowds are the reason Debbie Zuern says she's glad she's completed her shopping. "The savings to me is not worth the crowd that I would have to fight to go out on the tax free day and I want to have a good selection," says Debbie Zuern.
But she may be in the minority, as the sale signs go up and serious shoppers get on their marks.
One thing that's different this year is that rather than have two separate tax free weekends, Georgians have one four-day long tax free period.

What do you stand for?
Many complain about the cultural domination of the drug industry. Many are actively against vaccination. Others loudly fight cancer. Still others get worked up over this and that and are ready to fight to slay some injustice or right a wrong.
But you can't win by being against.
By attempting to overcome no shows, declaring war on sedentary lifestyles, confronting patients about their smoking or trying to talk patients out of quitting care, you actually create what you don't want! Your attempts produce an equal and opposite reaction.
Instead, provide a more attractive solution. Stand for personal responsibility. Advance the truth. Encourage understanding. Trumpet the advantages of natural. Support a willingness to try. Incentivize follow through. Praise incremental improvements. Reward behaviors you want, rather than punishing those you'd like to eliminate.
Leadership is about creating a more promising future, not condemning what is.

We ask a sexy babe what pisses her off. Today's Ballbreaker: Jenny Poussin
Dog Haters
What's with the "no dogs allowed" everywhere now? For instance, yesterday I go to my bank to deposit yet another check earned from my Nobel Prize-winning research in molecular biology. (Just kidding, I won the Nobel Prize for lingerie modeling.) I walk in with my totally adorable eight-pound dog, Rocky, asleep in my cute bag, and this rent-a-cop guy says, in his best Nazi kommandant voice, "Dogs aren't allowed in the bank!" I was dumbfounded–what the hell? Do I have a 150-pound rabid attack hound with me? It's a tiny dog! I've heard all the excuses for dog-hating. Dogs are messy? So were 99 percent of my boyfriends. Dogs bark and make noise? So do human babies, but you can't have a "no babies allowed" policy, can you? Dogs are smelly? Most people are much smellier than Rocky could ever be (see above comment about my ex-boyfriends), and the nuclear-waste drug-store perfume they wear doesn't help! Dogs are unsanitary? What apocalyptic disease do you think my eight-pound Yorkie is carrying–mad cow? Porcine virus? Ebola? Bubonic plague? I get it that some people just aren't dog people–I'm not asking you to let him sleep in your bed. Just live and let live, ok?
Cat Lovers
And by the way I have a pussy. My pussy's name is Shanny, and I love her dearly, so don't give me any of your garbage about how cats are clean and dogs are dirty. My doggy and my pussy and my Rocky and my Shanny are all clean at all times, I can promise you that.
Star Bashing
So what if Russell Crowe bonked someone over the head with his phone? So what if Christian Bale threw another hissy fit on set? They're great actors, that's all I care about. So what if Jenny Poussin got arrested, yet again, for public indecency and lewd behavior, and used her feminine wiles on the arresting officer to get the charges dropped? Does that make Jenny Poussin a bad slutty person? Give Jenny Poussin a break! Maybe someday Jenny Poussin will use her feminine wiles on you–and you'll be very grateful! Why is Jenny Poussin talking about herself in the third person?
Squirrels and the People who Photograph Them
Here in Montreal, squirrels are everywhere, and they attract camera-wielding tourists who act as if they're shooting albino leopards for National Geographic. It's a squirrel, dude! A rat with a furry tail! Get out of my park with your tripod and bag of peanuts!
Dirty Talkers Who Do Dirty Things
I believe that there is an art to talking dirty–at the right time, in the right place, dirty talk is a huge turn-on for me. But what's with these guys who just spew nasty words and ideas at all times? I just overheard a guy describe how he farted in bed with such force that the sheets rose up and "it totally surprised the bitch." Whaaat? It's bad enough that you would let one loose while in bed with a woman, but then you call her a bitch and laugh about it with your loser friend? You are a bad person, and I feel terribly sorry for her.

More than a century after the invention of powered flight, birds are still teaching us something about how to fly airplanes, with the Air Force studying the V-shaped formation of airborne geese as a way to save fuel.
The technical term is "vortex surfing" and it's already well known — NASCAR drivers and Tour de France cyclists use it to "draft" off competitors.
The Air Force has been seriously testing the idea in recent years for its giant C-17 Globemaster III strategic airlifters as part of a program called SAVE (Surfing Aircraft Vortices for Energy). Air Force officials believe that flying planes in vortex-surfing formation could cut 10 percent to 20 percent off their fuel burn.
"People have been looking at how can we fly like birds probably since the earliest stages of aviation," Donald Erbschloe, the chief scientist at the Air Force's Air Mobility Command, told Foreign Policy in a telephone interview.
Erbschloe says that some years ago, a DARPA official suggested using a jet's autopilot to hold a similar formation. "That intrigued us quite a bit," he said.
Popular Mechanics explains how it works:
"The wingtips of every plane generate swirling coils of air called vortices. If an airplane is positioned in the right spot, the updraft from the vortex will help keep the airplane aloft."
"By riding that vortex, by surfing that vortex, we can transfer the energy that is lost by the lead aircraft and you can recapture some of that energy," says Erbschloe, himself a retired pilot.
Since the Air Mobility Command accounts for two-thirds of the Air Force's $9 billion annual fuel bill, the savings from flying its large transports in a more efficient way could be significant, according to Foreign Policy.
So why hasn't anyone thought of doing this before now? The answer, according to the magazine, is avionics and incentive: The jet instrumentation needed to keep the planes in a safe, tight formation is much better than it used to be. Now, tie that to budget constraints as Congress scrutinizes military spending.

This summer we've seen an increase in aggravated robberies and burglaries across Beaumont especially in the summer months of May and June.
Just last week alone there were five robberies and three of them involved the use of guns.
Beaumont police say this year the city has already seen 64 more thefts than we did during the same time last year.
Sergeant Rob Flores says most burglaries happen during the day when people aren't home.
Flores says taking simple precautions like keeping your landscaping low, making it harder for thieves to get into your house undetected, can help protect your home.
"What I want you to do is look at house as thief would look at it," said Flores. "How secure are my locks? How secure are my doors? How is my lighting and my landscaping? Does my house look like it's inviting someone in by being an easy target?"
Flores says we could be seeing the rise in theft numbers for several reasons.
He says young people may be committing burglaries because they're not in school. Things like the economy and unemployment rates can also contribute to the spike.
The sergeant also says an alert neighbor, whose willing to call the police if they see something suspicious is one of the best ways to prevent these types of crimes.
