|Appearance Count:
Lagertha is a powerful and well-known shield-maiden, continuing to fight alongside her former husband and fellow Viking fighters, before her great tragedy. She is completely versed in Viking combat, even to the extent that she can fight off multiple people of greater physical strength than her, and displays a shrewd tongue, which hints at a strong intellect, and strong spirit, which makes her a desirable for her husband, Ragnar. She exists to typify a a resolved version of the archetype of the deadly and beautiful woman, where she is, as a resolution to the weaknesses of this archetype, a balance between brains and cunning.
Once the devoted wife of the Ragnar Lothbrok, with whom she shared a great love story, deep respect, admiration, and ambitions, Lagertha has since married another after they lost their second and unborn third child.
Since the loss of her children and suffering the blows of love and rejection, Lagertha realizes that Freyja's fertility is meant for another, and that it is the goddess' warrior aspect that speaks to her fellow Valkyrie. Lagertha remains fiercely independent when it comes to protecting her family—and the throne.
Biography Edit
Early Life Edit
Lagertha's parents were farmers. She was born and raised by her father as a shield-maiden[1] and grew to become a fierce and courageous one.
At one point, Ragnar went to Lagertha's home to confess his love to her, but he was set upon by a bear and an enormous hound who guarded her home. Ragnar killed the bear with his spear and strangled the hound with his bare hands, thus gaining her hand in marriage.
Season 1 Edit
In 8th century Scandinavia, Lagertha's son, Bjorn, had just turned twelve when her husband, Ragnar decided to leave for Kattegat to have Bjorn swear allegiance to their reigning Earl, Haraldson so he could finally earn his arm ring. Lagertha did not think her son was ready and tried to ask Ragnar to wait a while, to which he refused.
While her husband and son were away, two men invade their home, hoping to take advantage of Lagertha and Gyda but are quickly injured by Lagertha. Thereafter, the injured bandits flee and are never seen again. Upon her husband's return, Lagertha is told by Ragnar that he will be exploring the West with a few good men and a sturdy ship. When she learned that she will not be accompanying him, Lagertha is offended and tries to protest, but Ragnar insists that she stay since she is the only one he trusts to watch their farm. Resistant, Lagertha even got into a physical altercation with her husband, only to be stopped by their son.
When Ragnar returned from his voyage, he brought with him a ship full of treasures and a few Christian monks, including a young man named Athelstan, who can speak their language. The Earl, pleased with the bounty, decided that everything is his, though Ragnar and his men can each have one item. Obviously angered by the Earl's decision, Ragnar chose to keep Athelstan and brought him home as their slave, whom they later invite into bed with them, which he declined for as he has taken a vow of celibacy. Despite Athelstan's status as a captive, however, he is generally well taken care of.
The next trip to England planned by Ragnar has been sanctioned by the Earl. Now that they have Athelstan to watch over their farm and children, Lagertha is brought on the journey by Ragnar.
Upon their arrival, they are met by a group of King Aelle's soldiers inviting them to meet their king. Distrust on either side eventually cause a battle, with all but one soldier killed. The Vikings continued on to a nearby town and promptly raided it, though, with information learned from Athelstan, they wait until Sunday to attack the church.
During the raid, Lagertha stopped Knut, Earl's half-brother sent to spy on Ragnar, from raping a Saxon woman. With redirected anger, Knut attempted to rape Lagertha and is subsequently killed with his own knife.
She managed to quietly leave the scene, only to be met by Ragnar and the other men who have since finished with the church. He asked Lagertha about Knut and told the group of what had happened. Ragnar expressed his concern by saying that he hoped to kill him. While Lagertha said there were no witnesses, she knows her crime is still punishable by death.
At the beach, the Vikings were met with another group of soldiers whom they easily defeat. Upon their return to Scandanavia, again laden with goods, they are greeted with cheers and praises, though the Earl is quick to realize that his half-brother is missing. Ragnar then took the blame for Knut's death, saying he killed Knut because he tried to rape Lagertha. The Earl had Ragnar imprisoned and planned to try and execute him, almost convincing Ragnar's brother, Rollo, to betray him.
During the trial, however, it is Haraldson who is ultimately betrayed by Rollo as he testified in support of his brother, thus freeing Ragnar of his charges. Rollo later revealed to Lagertha that he did it not for Ragnar but for her. Although Lagertha has long been pursued secretly by Rollo, she constantly rejects him, and Ragnar remains oblivious to his brother's affections.
The Earl, now hellbent on destroying Ragnar, tried many times to kill him and all those who approve of him. He and his men raid their island and quickly destroy everything, from their homes and other neighboring ones, to the farms and the lives of people who tried to fight back or run. Lagertha, however, managed to escape and hide with her children and Athelstan. An injured Ragnar later joined them and together, the group found refuge at Floki's home.
Ragnar soon decided to challenge Haraldson in a duel to the death, worrying Lagertha. The night before, in the midst of love-making, Lagertha asked her husband not to fight as he is still badly injured. Ragnar, however, emerged victorious in the battle against Haraldson and became the new Earl.
In the midst of a party following a lavish burial for the former Earl, Lagertha announced that she is pregnant. A pleased Ragnar insisted that the unborn child is a boy, just as the gods have predetermined, as the Seer once foretold.
Months into her pregnancy, Lagertha is once again left alone at Kattegat as Ragnar sailed for England. At this point, Lagertha has become responsible for overseeing varying disputes among the townspeople to maintain order.
Lagertha's leadership was tested when a man brought his wife with an infant. The man claimed that a young man stayed at their house for three days, and nine months later, his wife gave birth to a child when the couple had went years without conceiving. Upon learning that the visitor's name was Rig, Lagertha demonstrated her knowledge and told them that Rig is another name for their Norse god Heimdallr. She then told the man that he should consider himself blessed that the god chose them, and warns him that if any harm comes to the child or his wife, he will have to answer to her.
Later, the former Earl's widow, Siggy, requested to become Lagertha's servant. Initially hesitant, Lagertha agreed. Unfortunately, Lagertha had a miscarriage and upon Ragnar's return, Ragnar is devastated. Promised many sons by the gods, Ragnar began to doubt that it is Lagertha who will provide them for him as they fail to conceive another child, no matter their efforts.
Frustrated with their inability to produce the sons Ragnar was promised, both Lagertha and Ragnar ask the gods for help during the traditional pilgrimage to Uppsala, where they honor the gods with sacrifices.
During this time, Ragnar met King Horik and pledged his service to him, in return for more manpower for his future travels to England. Following the sacrifice, King Horik immediately sent Ragnar and a few other men to Gotaland for negotiations, leaving Lagertha alone and worried that her husband will seek out another woman to have sons with.
The negotiations eventually fall though, though Ragnar's men spy on a beautiful young woman bathing. The woman, named Aslaug, demands an apology from Ragnar, and, by using her wits to solve his riddle, soon intrigues Ragnar. The pair eventually have sex, infuriating his son with Lagertha, Bjorn, who is incredibly upset that his father is cheating on his mother. Regardless, Aslaug soon becomes pregnant with what Ragnar is predicting will be his next son, and Ragnar continues his torrid affair with her.
While Ragnar and Aslaug were celebrating the good news, Lagertha and the remaining Vikings have been fighting a losing battle with a plague. Lagertha is left to grieve one of the the many victims, her and Ragnar's own daughter, Gyda.
Season 2 Edit
Lagertha soon discovered Ragnar's infidelity with Aslaug through Bjorn. While it initially seemed the couple would overcome Ragnar's adultery, this changed when the heavily pregnant Aslaug sailed to Kattegat. Ragnar asked to be in an arrangement where he would be married to both of them, for the sake of their children. Lagertha, disgusted, insulted, and far too dignified to tolerate such disrespect, chose to leave him, and was joined by Bjorn.
Lagertha has since remarried, settling in Hedeby, Scandinavia, with the wealthy earl Sigvard. Unfortunately, she seems less than pleased with him though he claims to have wanted her for a long time. Lagertha is trying (and failing) to elude Sigvard. He says as his wife she should be by his side when he entertains guests; Lagertha says she will not be insulted as he does not love her or her son. Sigvard slaps her and tells her that he does love them both, then apologizes for hitting her.
Later that night, Bjorn confronts his mother about her husband's violence. She tells him it won't happen again, but Bjorn is unconvinced. He later tells his mother that, while Ragnar and his men have been away, their former home of Kattegat has been taken over by Jarl Borg. Lagertha tells her son that she will convince her husband help. Later that night, Sigvard stumbles into the bedroom, apparently after having a few drinks. Lagertha appraches the subject of Ragnar, but Sigvard won't hear of it and attempts instead to make love to her. She refuses his advance which causes Sigvard to become rough and attempt to rape her. Outside the door, Bjorn can hear the commotion and draws his knife; Lagertha manages to throw Sigvard off and tells him to never to treat her like that again. She opens the door to find Bjorn and thanks him, but says he will not harm her. Sigvard passes out.
A few days later, Lagertha, Bjorn and a small army join Ragnar. It has been several years since Ragnar has seen Lagertha and his son, now a young adult, which causes Ragnar great happiness in how much his son has grown. Inside, Lagertha greets her former brother-in-law and Siggy, then heads over to Aslaug and her sons. Though the air is stiff, Aslaug thanks Lagertha for her help and Lagertha dotes on the children.
Personality Edit
Lagertha is a fierce warrior, much like other shield-maidens who are comparable to their male counterparts. She shares her husband's lust for adventure. She is courageous and wise at the same time, only using violence when absolutely needed. Unlike Aslaug and Siggy, Lagertha is very strong and surges through even the most trying of times with a clear head. Although Lagertha is rather brutal and violent at times, she is very intelligent and knows when to back out. She is also very kind, caring, and compassionate. This side of her personality is usually shown when she is around Bjorn or Gyda before she died. She also rules her people with empathy and compassion and these traits make her very popular among her people.
Relationships Edit
Ragnar Lothbrok Edit
While they were still married, Lagertha and Ragnar loved each other very much. However, after Lagertha miscarried what should have been their third child, Ragnar grew increasingly distant from her in the following months. While he eventually got over it, Ragnar had cheated on her, and Lagertha left him when she realized he wanted children more than he wanted her.
- As the reigning earl of Hedeby, Lagertha's subjects and followers among the local population would be considered Jutish, given Hedeby's location in the Jutland Peninsula. There would also be Saxons present, as Hedeby was in the contemporary frontier zone with Frankish-occupied Saxony. Both Saxons and Jutes were among the Germanic tribes which took part in the migrations toward Britain in the four hundred years prior to the Viking Age.

In case you hadn't noticed, it costs you more to sneeze and blow your nose these days.
We're all victims of downsizing, the sneaky method of raising the price of a product. Less for more we call it.
I've addressed this topic a few times before, but there's always new evidence that encourages me to point out some of the latest examples. After I wrote the first draft of this column, ABC News ran a short piece on its TV newscast, showing that you now get about four feet less on a roll of Brawny paper towels. And the network also noted a newly-reduced size of Maxwell House coffee.
Companies today think nothing of the ethics of downsizing; they just do it without regard to above-board honesty, an old-fashioned (and out-of-date) term. Apparently, honesty isn't part of their business plan.
I hold some securities, so I can understand the need or desire of companies to produce profits to reward their shareholders. But if that requires raising prices – preferable to giving you less of the product by my way of thinking – firms should be forthright about it instead of trying to fool the customer.
Downsizing manifests itself in two ways – reducing the contents of a package, and/or increasing the price. Customers really lose when the company offering a product does both simultaneously.
Let's consider a big outfit like Proctor and Gamble, the Cincinnati-based producer of a variety of consumer items. Along with competitor Colgate-Palmolive, P&G has cut the size of its larger tubes of toothpaste from 8.2 ounces (an idiotic number to begin with) to (equally silly) 7.6 ounces. Did they lower the price commensurately? Of course not. And the box the toothpaste comes in is the same size as before. This is a blatant effort to fool the public – companies must think we're too stupid to notice.
The volume of potato chips and snack foods keeps shrinking, but not always the bags they come in. The scoundrels who make these things are pulling a fast one on consumers. Obviously these products used to come in 16-ounce sizes – a good number because it equals one pound. Back then, the company might have labeled the one-pound bag as the "family size." Today, the family size is a multi-downsized container that might weigh an asinine amount – say 11-point-six ounces – a weight that makes no sense. Nobody "wants" that size. The volume first went from 16 to 15-ounces, then to 14 ounces, then to 13-point-something ounces, then to 12-point-something ounces, and more recently, a most peculiar 11-point-whatever ounces. And they put air in the bags – they say it protects the chips from breakage, but I'm not so sure.
Perhaps the least-expensive part of a bag of chips is the potatoes. Other costs include labor for the preparation and packaging processes, raw materials such as oil and salt, as well as marketing and transportation.
Boxes of food products are continually shrinking. It's nothing to purchase the same sized box of cereal as before, only to read the small print showing that you're getting less. Some companies are brazen enough to raise the price at the same time.
Proctor and Gamble produces a tissue they call Puffs. It's a decent product – but the box used to hold 240 tissues. But the number of sheets has dropped several times, and the current box gives the consumer 180 sheets. P&G reduced the size of the box very slightly when cutting the volume by 10 percent. I guess they've added more air to their tissues to make the box look full.
I can't say for sure if they also raised the price to retailers, but it's a good bet they did. My calculations tell me I'm now getting 10 percent fewer tissues while paying 33 percent more. That comes to an adjusted price increase of 47 percent (fewer tissues plus higher price). P&G competitor Kimberly-Clark is no better, although K-C did shrink its box first.
In case you hadn't noticed, toilet tissue rolls are smaller these days. Several manufacturers have not only cut the number of sheets per roll – they've cut the size, too. If they keep it up, you'll be able to load two rolls onto the spool in your bathroom at the same time. I don't even want to speculate how well they'd work.
This constant method of hoodwinking the customer through downsized packages comes despite very small increases in the Cost of Living Index.
I was joking with my wife, Martha, the other day saying that it won't be long before Frito-Lay comes out with a personal sized bag of Cheetos – a product that has gone though significant and frequent downsizing the past few years. My forecast is that the new personal size bag of Cheetos will contain just one Cheeto. To explain the new size, the company's marketing geniuses will develop a campaign that first claims customers want that size (obvious nonsense), and then ballyhoo how well the company is fighting obesity by offering the miniature size. That's what candy bar makers do – sell you a "fun size" that's anything but. With continued downsizing, it won't be long before the $100 worth of food you buy at the supermarket will fit in your purse.
I should note that not all downsizing is bad. A smaller waistline is usually good, and wouldn't it be wonderful if governments figured out how to downsize?

Western Michigan University students in the organization Students for Liberty are working to normalize the use of marijuana in today's society through a "Liberate Cannabis" event.
"That's ultimately what this event is about," Neal Turluck, president of SFL, said. "It's about normalizing marijuana use which has been chastised for a long time."
The event will "bring together the political left and right into one room to mitigate, moderate and normalize marijuana in today's society," according to a press release.
The event will take place in WMU's Fetzer Center on Friday, Jan. 25 from 5-9 p.m, and is open to the public.
There will be several speakers at the event, as well as a faux-debate, where supporters and those in opposition to legalizing marijuana will address the audience, without addressing one another.
The speakers and what they speak on will appear in the following order at the event:
- John Tarkowski, a local activist, criminal defense attorney and event sponsor, will begin the event speaking on how the fourth, sixth and eighth amendment's relate to the average recreational marijuana user.
- Daniel Corse, Kalamazoo chapter president of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, will speak on what NORML does locally and how audience members can get involved with NORML.
- Ken Beyer, a medical marijuana advocate and part of the Michigan Testing Authority, will speak on the medical benefits of cannabis.
- Participating in the faux-debate against the legalization of marijuana will be Phil Stinchcomb, Kalamazoo County Commissioner, Bill Beck, President of the VanKal Tea Party, Stephanie Tomzak and Kaitlyn Eubanks.
- Participating in the faux-debate in favor of the legalization of marijuana will be Kevin Spitler, of the Medjoint Community Compassion Center and an event sponsor, Logan Fleckenstein, member of the College Libertarians at WMU and Charmie Gholson, owner of the Midwest Cultivator.
- Mike Callton, State Representative from House District 87, will speak on House Bill 5580, otherwise known as the "medical marijuana provisioning center regulation act," as well as outline what it takes to get a bill written, passed in the house and senate and signed into law.
- Keynote speaker, Matthew Abel, head of the Cannabis Counsel, attorney from Detroit and the president of NORML in Mich., will speak last.
Turluck said that the event is open to the public and he highly encourages WMU students to attend the event.
Regarding how many students at WMU have opinions either way about the controversy about legalizing marijuana, Turluck said he has come across 20 percent of students who think laws should remain the same, 50 percent who want marijuana to be legal and 30 percent who don't care either way.
"It's not equal across the line of those who are for and against it," Turluck said. "It gets fuzzy."
For more information on the event, visit the Facebook event page or e-mail Neal Turluck at email@example.com.

Timeline for health care reform
By Claes Bell * Bankrate.com
After the tumultuous debate over health care reform ended, many Americans were surprised to find that key parts of the law won't take effect until years into the future.
In fact, many of the sweeping changes — an end to insurance companies withholding coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, government-regulated insurance marketplaces and the individual requirement to buy coverage — don't take place until 2014.
Some measures, such as closing the infamous Medicare Part D "doughnut hole" in prescription drug coverage, will come even later.

Spring Trench
By Jill
from Toronto, Ontario
Beautifully made but sizing seems to be 'off' to me & I mistakenly thought this would be a heavier fabric & I don't need another lightweight coat just now. I think the belt is long because the 'fashionista's tie the belt in a bow of sorts, sorry had to return.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

well designed
By Margaret
from Toronto
The coat is very light weight and it fits perfectly, when you go by Giuliana's size chart. I am only 5'4" and I bought one in black in XL. 4* rating only for the length, would like to have a little bit longer. Still GREAT BUY and I am deciding on TAUPE, LOVE THE PIPING.

Very classic...
By Silvia
from Montreal, QC
I am very pleased with this jacket. I purchased it in black. Very classic look. I didn't give it a 5 star because the lining is too thin and the belt is way too long. Overall... I don't regret my purchase.

Tiny stuffed bears got nothing on Airblaster.
Riding in a puffy can be a recipe for disappointment, unless the Airblaster Snuggler Jacket is the one doing the cooking. This 20K waterproof, fully taped and lavishly featured down jacket shuns the bummers usually associated with non-mountain-ready puffies. Not so hot that it overheats you, but way warmer than a shell could ever dream, the only thing the Snuggler lacks is a 'free hot chocolate' button.
- Wrist gaiters and removable powder skirt to seal out the storm
- Nano-coated zipper tape to repel melting snow
- Removable powder skirt creats a seamless powder suit with Airblaster pants

I loooooove this jacket. The fit is perfect. I usually wear a medium and that is what I ordered and it fits my bod just as it should. I love how it has a waistline. It has just the right amount of insulation too. The look is feminine, but not too girly. Best jacket ever.

Universal Studios Florida To Add Harry Potter's Diagon Alley
Universal Studios Florida will add a new section inspired by J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series.
Opening in 2014, Diagon Alley is named after the magical shopping district in the fantasy series. The new cover for Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone (created by artist Kazu Kibuishi) shows Harry exploring the magical shopping district.
Perhaps the architects will use this illustration as inspiration for designing the new section?

Dry Bag Medium
Manufacturer: Surf to Summit
Part No: STS DBM
This bag is yellow in color and the dimensions are 24"H X 15"W
unfolded when using this bag remember you will lose a little size because in order
to seal it the top must be rolled three to four times, and clipped. The bag has
a clear bottom with clear strip that runs up the side this is great if you are
using multiple bags and don't want to open the bag to see what is in it. The
bag's capacity is around 2.5-3 gallons. For me this would be a summer change of
clothes, 3-5 rags, and a few meal replacement bars which equals a good full day
on the water in the summer. The bag is made of medium duty nylon, and has a
rubber sealed inner coating. The hardware is made of plastic and holding up
well. The bag includes an adjustable strap that is also made of nylon. I have
used this bag for several months and the construction is holding up well. I did
notice a little moisture in the bag once, but I may have not sealed it
completely so that may have been user error.
Pros – Great bag for a day on the water
Cons – Construction could be more rugged, but I haven't had
any durability issues.

Press Release: Match at Estadio Azteca is First Friendly Between Teams on Mexican Soil Since 1984; ESPN2, ESPN3 and Univision to Broadcast Live at 7 p.m. CT
CHICAGO (Aug. 12, 2012) — U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has called in 23 players to train for the upcoming friendly against Mexico on Aug. 15 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico. Kickoff for the USA's first friendly against Mexico on Mexican soil since 1984 is set for 7 p.m. CT, and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2, ESPN3 and Univision. Fans can follow on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and Twitter @ussoccer.
The players are reporting to Mexico City beginning Sunday, and will train for two days prior to the mid-week fixture.
"We're excited about the opportunity to bring this group together and challenge Mexico for a win," said Klinsmann. "For every game, we always look at who is in the best form, who is fit and who is ready to go. We have a lot of veteran players and also some new, hungry guys who deserve a chance. Every player in the pool looks forward to an amazing opportunity like this, the chance to take on Mexico in such an historic stadium like Estadio Azteca. With the World Cup qualifiers coming up next month, we can start preparing these players mentally and physically for Jamaica."
A little more than a year into his tenure, Klinsmann seeks to lead the U.S. team to its first-ever victory against Mexico in its country. Several U.S. regulars will get their first experience at Azteca, as only three players on the roster have ever played against Mexico on Mexican soil. The match is the first for the U.S. since the 1-1 draw on June 12 in Guatemala, and represents another opportunity to prepare for the critical set of impending World Cup qualifiers against Jamaica next month.
GOALKEEPERS (3): Tim Howard (Everton), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (6): Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Steven Beithasour (San Jose Earthquakes), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim)
MIDFIELDERS (9): DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Joe Corona (Club Tijuana), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Jose Torres (Pachuca), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (4): Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Herculez Gomez (Santos), Alan Gordon (San Jose Earthquakes), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
After two matches, the U.S. leads Group A in the Semifinal Round of CONCACAF Qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The U.S. resumes qualifying action with back-to-back matches against Jamaica on Sept. 7 and 11. Jamaica hosts the Sept. 7 match in Kingston, and then four days later the U.S. will welcome the Caribbean nation to Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio (TICKETS). That match will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN2, ESPN3 and the Univision family. Fans can follow the match live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and via Twitter @ussoccer.
As part of the effort to provide more access to the National Team, the U.S. will host a public training session Sunday, Sept. 9, at 10:30 a.m. ET at Columbus Crew Stadium. Admission and parking are free.

28.01.2013 - 29.01.2013
Bayuquan is where it all started for me in China. When I first came here this little port district struck me as an other worldly little Fisher price town: one main drag and one department store but a strange super-abundance of KTVs, hair salons and '4 star' hotels, strangely out of proportion to its size. Since then, it has spread south and I've periodically returned as a curious spectator to see what's new.
It now has a high speed train station in the south but that that seems to be Dalian-Harbin and I went to Xiong Yue Cheng as normal, arriving at about 3.40 in the morning. The bus left at high speed toute suite and the young conductor deliberately ignored me so I tapped on his shoulder and told him where I wanted to go, as did another customer, and he muttered something but again showed no interest in my fare so I ended up going to the New Hong Yun hotel for free. This is my favourite kind of racism.
At the hotel everyone was asleep and I had to wake some folks in the bathhouse up and then I retired to my normal place in the common room upstairs. There were 3 or 4 men in there and one broke the world record for snoring, which was set in Batou. Actually, he didn't so much snore as fall silent for half a minute then gasp for air, yawn and scream for another half and then continue the cycle. The price of admission was 29 RMB, a nice price you probably wouldn't get in Bayan Nur.
So why am I in Bayuquan? Well, the agreement with Judy was, I would teach for free to help her get her new business going, if she would find me a hotel with a swimming pool and cover travel and board. Reasonable, I thought, if not bend-over-backwards because hotels with swimming pools don't come cheap. She couldn't afford the Gang Feng but she rang up the New Hong Yun and told her all about the foreigner who had specified a hotel with swimming pool who was coming all the way from Inner Mongolia. The lady at the Hong Yun had told her no problem and Judy could afford 268 rmb per night.
So at 8.00 we met in the reception and checked into my room. Then there was a slight hitch. The nice lady who told Judy there was a swimming pool now said with the sweetest smile that the swimming pool was closed for maintenance. After remonstration she rang up the Royal Garden Hotel, who agreed to lower their astronomical price for a room to a one that was still exorbitant. More than the Ramada in Nottingham, where I found nothing to groan about.
First we went to the Gang Feng but they were pretty inflexible on price so we did end up at the Royal G, though not the one in Kensington. It was going to be pricey at 368 per night, but I told Judy I'd do a few nights here and then move to a cheap place later so that we ended up paying the same.
The Royal Garden hotel is designed along vaguely similar lines to my apartment building and I'm currently wondering how I can capitalise on this happy find for my film. It has an atrium (bi-sected) with rooms that open out onto balconies overlooking it. It has a goldfish pond. It has a Grand piano. It has marble floors and a leisure centre style roof. But the similarity ends there because this place has turned the style dial to distortion. There is a new Rolls Royce in the foyer just sitting there with no apparent function. There are several super expensive boutiques in the hotel, just as you would see in an airport and wouldn't dare step inside. There are gardens inside (I saw the palm trees being watered earlier on, or maybe cleaned? are they real?) and there is a tiny pool a bit bigger than a jacuzzi with 4 sea lions in it. I was rather surprised to come across this aquatic concentration camp and I happened to do so when the inmates were being tossed their food. After there were no more fish the alpha sea lion stood on his flippers calling out for more for a few minutes afterwards. I felt sorry for him. Swimming around in demented circles all day waiting for food he devours in a split second: but my presence appeared to make things worse by giving him false hope and I backed away.
There are many ways in which this hotel has had money thrown at it-besides bling and sea lions- but again, it's interesting to see how they've overlooked what Westerners would patronisingly call the obvious. Toast and butter at breakfast is nice but where are the knives? No orange or grapefruit juice but pear juice. Why is the coffee pre-mixed with sugar? What if he doesn't take sugar? Some of the international clocks above the reception are wrong. Well, the London one was, I didn't check the others. 15 watt lightbulbs in the bedside lamps and no other lighting anywhere near the bed (no lights on or in the ceiling) so that it's basically impossible to read a book at night? No WIFI? And what about that extremely noisy function that was just held down in the atrium? Is that really fair on your guests who don't want to hear sound approaching the noise levels of a riot? Well I guess that would just be me.
Ah well, there is always the swimming pool. Later, I went for a swim and discovered that the swimming pool is stone cold. They have filled it up and simply let nature take its course and regulate the temperature. No wonder there was no one swimming in it, or in the other 2 much smaller ones. Once again, Judy and I had been fleeced. Or rather, I just keep forgetting that this is not the West.

M.O.D – Meal of the Day
Grilled Taco Salad
Time in the kitchen: 30
Servings: 3
2 hearts of romaine, quartered lengthwise
2 tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 red or white onion, cut into chunks
1 green pepper, cut into chunks
2 avocados (not overly ripe) peeled, pitted and cut in half
2 tablespoons of oil, plus more for coating vegatables
1 pound of skirt steak
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Marcronutrient content (per serving):
Fat: 49g
Carb: 34g
Protein: 49g
How to: Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle oil over the romaine hearts and vegetables, giving them a light but thorough coating. The tomato, onion, pepper and avocado can be cooked in a grilling basket or put on skewers. If skewering, put only one type of vegetable on each skewer so you can remove the skewers from the grill as each item finishes cooking (for example, you'll want to remove the avocado and tomato skewers from the grill before the onion and green pepper).
Mix 2 tablespoons of oil with the spices and salt and thoroughly coat skirt steak.
Put the skirt steak on the grill and spread the vegetable skewers and romaine evenly around it. Close the lid and grill for 3 minutes, then flip the skirt steak and romaine quarters and turn the skewers.
Close the lid for another 3 minutes, then remove the steak (for rare) or grill another 2-3 minutes for medium. The avocado, tomatoes and romaine can also be removed after a total of 6-8 minutes on the grill. The onion and peppers can stay on longer, until they are lightly charred.
Slice the steak thinly and cut the romaine in to bit sized chunks. Toss with avocado, tomato and onions. Add salt to taste and garnish with a wedge of lime and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

It's a question we face during every war, as well as every time U.S. service members are deployed en masse during peace time. When soldiers' jobs are done, what comes next? Will they return to a grateful nation or to a cold reception fraught with nearly as many challenges as the battlefield?
Some veterans have forged careers on the local homefront, whether they be in business, like Aaron Bien of Bienie's Body Shop and Repair; law enforcement, like Jeff Richards, Franklin County sheriff; education, like Rob Hedrick, Ottawa High School football coach; government administration, like Richard Nienstedt, Ottawa city manager; or politics, like Kevin Jones, Kansas state representative. Service members have a variety of skills that make them quality candidates for many domestic occupations.
Still, some struggle in adapting to civilian life.
In a time of economic uncertainty, when many employers are reluctant to create new full-time jobs, many veterans fresh out of their military roles have an even more difficult time becoming self-supporting members of society. Seasonal, temporary and part-time work can be a rough way to rebuild a civilian life, especially for those attempting to support a family or who are nursing war wounds — physical or mental.
Their challenges are amplified further by those in the realms of media and politics who depict returning service members as being people likely to become rapists, murderers and even potential terrorists when integrated back into the civilian world. These aren't crazed maniacs. Though some certainly return from service with mental and emotional stress and trauma, which our nation has a duty to treat, these men and women deserve dignity and respect. Recent negative characterizations and stereotypes are a shameful flashback to the way many Vietnam soldiers were treated after they came home from war.
But not everyone eyes veterans with suspicion. Many are looking to help.
It's uplifting to see a growing number of American businesses and corporations actively recruiting veterans to their ranks. Coffee retailer Starbucks is the latest company — in a list of giants like Wal-Mart, Boeing, UPS, JPMorgan Chase, Garmin and Sprint — to develop special hiring programs targeted at returning members of the military. Such programs not only court veterans, but also involve recruitment specialists who help former soldiers transition their wartime or military skills to the civilian workforce.
Available jobs at Starbucks are expected to include positions ranging from making lattes to supply chain management. Company officials said this week they plan to hire 10,000 veterans and military spouses during the next five years. (Wal-Mart has pledged to hire 100,000 veterans by 2018, according to CNNMoney.)
"It may be a little tougher for business at the beginning of the process, but I think the long-term benefits are tremendous," Robert Gates, a former U.S. defense secretary and a member of Starbucks' board, said.
Another effort seeks to put veterans — literally — in the driver's seat of their own financial success. The Grilled Cheese Truck, a Los Angeles-based mobile restaurant business, announced this summer a program to help train 100 qualified veterans to own and operate their own food truck franchises.
"We really need the best people we can find to be the franchise owners of these trucks," Wesley Clark, a retired U.S. general and NATO commander, told the San Antonio Express-News. The former Democratic presidential candidate, who was helping lead the Grilled Cheese Truck's recruitment campaign, continued, "It's all about leadership, and that's something veterans learn by serving, and they bring a lot of that to the private sector."
Though not everyone would agree with Clark's broader politics, few can argue with that logic: Veterans' contributions don't end when they leave the war zone, a foreign outpost or even a domestic assignment. They deserve our support so they can continue to give.

White Paper
On December 1, 2009, international lawyer Robert Amsterdam published the White Paper entitled "Reform vs. Status Quo: The Campaign Against Nasir El-Rufai and the Degeneration of Progress in Nigeria." The paper details the political attack of false charges and slander made against El-Rufai by the current leadership, and offers a perspective on the mechanisms of corruption which have repeatedly encumbered political reform, good governance, and transparency in Nigeria. Writing in the preface, Amsterdam argues: "Anyone who is familiar with the details of this case will agree that it is politically motivated persecution. For anyone who disagrees, this White Paper marks the formal announcement that we are open and willing to defend Nasir on any platform available with all the facts in front of us. That is much more than we can say about those who oppose us."
DOWNLOAD THE FULL PDF VERSION OF THE WHITE PAPER "REFORM VS. STATUS QUO" HERE. Below are the extracts of the Foreword written by former attorney general Kanu Agabi, and the Executive Summary.
I thank Robert Amsterdam for making known, through this book, the sacrifices of my friend Nasir El-Rufai for the emancipation of our dear country. He was my friend before the present controversies. That friendship was founded partly on his courage, vision for our country, his resilience and his patriotism. Since these controversies arose I have found no reason to reconsider my feelings towards him. On the contrary, if there ever was need to stand by him, it is now. I can say of him that he is God's gift to our country. I appeal to those who will be opportuned to read this book by Robert Amsterdam to do so dispassionately. The things that El-Rufai has had to do for the nation are difficult things. He has had to tread upon hard and difficult ground and to step on many and often very big toes. When he had to take difficult decisions, he did not hesitate and his courage never failed him. He is a fair-minded, hardworking and unrelenting man. His great humility is beclouded by his rigid opposition to evil. El-Rufai is a man it behooves us to strive to understand.
God has ordained that whenever there is work to be done there should be somebody to do it. I regard El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu as those agents of God who laid the modern foundations of the rule of law in Nigeria. Being human, it is to be expected that works of such monumental proportions as they had to do might be attended here and there with errors. We cannot fail to act just because we are afraid that we might err. The emphasis ought to be, not on what went wrong, but on the good that was done. The human vessels that God himself has used have never been perfect. God uses those who possess the required qualities and who are prepared to do his will. Such a man is El-Rufai.
In assessing the contributions of El-Rufai to the establishment of law and order in our country, we should bear in mind that during the dictatorship which lasted for nearly three decades, the judiciary and the police were neglected with the result that these institutions became very weak and ineffective. Law and order were maintained by the military. And whenever they found it convenient they ousted the jurisdiction of the courts. As a result corruption permeated every department of our national life. Strictly speaking, we were not a nation under law. The nation was stigmatized and despised. That was very briefly, the state of the nation when civil rule was introduced in 1999.
With the advent of civil rule the pendulum swung from one extreme of dictatorship to the extreme of liberalism. Corruption and violence became even more rife. Elections were attended by various malpractices. At one time, the nation was ranked as the second most corrupt in the world. In the various States and Local Government Areas, the structures for accountability were destroyed and the governors seemed above the law. The master-plan of the Federal Capital Territory was grossly distorted and land allocations were attended by all sorts of scandals, abuses and malpractices. One of the earliest actions of President Obasanjo's administration was to examine the federal capital territory, Abuja, with a view to correcting the distortions of the master-plan. In the end the conclusion of the federal government was apparently that the damage was beyond repair. And indeed for nearly four years after that examination nothing was done to repair the damage.
All hope seemed lost when, early in his second term the President appointed Mallam El-Rufai as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. He proceeded immediately to do what seemed impossible – to restore the master-plan of the Federal Capital Territory. This entailed the demolition of houses which had been erected along sewage lines and the restoration of parks which had been parceled out and allocated to men and women of rank. Land allocation in the Federal Capital Territory was streamlined and impostors were arrested and charged to court. Naturally, this led to all sorts of controversies and resentment by those whose actions had led to the distortion of the master-plan. The vast majority of Nigerians commended the efforts of the minister and have remained grateful to him to this day. I am one of those Nigerians.
At the time that El-Rufai assumed office as minister of the Federal Capital Territory, I had left Office as Attorney-General and Minister of Justice and was serving as special adviser to the president on ethics and good governance and also Nigeria's human rights adviser (HEURIST). I can attest to the fact that his tenure as minister coupled with the work of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission marked the true beginning of the restoration of the rule of law in Nigeria. Prior to that we had merely paid lip-service to the concept of the rule of law. The hope which we now entertain that there shall be no further distortions to the master-plan of the Federal Capital Territory is owed to the courage and sacrifices of Mallam El-Rufai. By his works he has immortalized himself and will never be forgotten when the history of this country comes to be written.
It is an unwritten rule of Nigerian politics that the presidency is "rotated" between the North and the South of the country. It is common knowledge that one person from the North stood out as the one of the most experienced, serious, and accomplished political office-holder by 2007: the former head of the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. This White Paper tells the story of how a fearful government is attempting to destroy a successful political career through false charges. Their goal is to destroy the country's class of reformers, maintain a state of corruption and impunity, and most importantly, barring a popular leader from political contention.
The El-Rufai saga has deep roots. In April of 2003, as Olusegun Obasanjo was re-elected president of Nigeria with more than 61 per cent of the vote, the political economy of Nigeria was showing several signs of hope. The on-again, off-again nature of Nigeria's approach to reform since independence was on the upswing toward greater transparency at many levels of government and society. Independent bodies had been established to crack down on corruption and financial crimes, a global oil boom was once again bringing economic prosperity to the country, and democratic institutions were in the process of consolidation.
In keeping with this momentum, President Obasanjo immediately nominated Nasir El-Rufai, the country's privatization czar for the previous four years who had a reputation for no-nonsense work-a-holism, to head the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration. The position is part of the president's cabinet and carries as one of its responsibilities the oversight of far-reaching reforms in the nation's capital, Abuja.
For El-Rufai, the appointment was merely the logical next step in a career defined by battling the ruling elite to change a notoriously corrupt system of governance in Nigeria driven by a political culture of patronage. One of El-Rufai's first actions as the new FCT chief was to bring to light the revelation that the Nigerian Senate's deputy majority leader and deputy senate president solicited from him a 54 million naira bribe (US$414,000) in exchange for a speedy confirmation to his new post. When the ensuing uproar subsided, the Senate voted to dismiss El-Rufai's accusations and he remained in the position, but the Nigerian Senate as an institution, never forgot or forgave him. The fact that the day Nasir El-Rufai brought his bribery accusations to the Senate floor – October 7, 2003 – was coincidentally the very day Transparency International named Nigeria the second most corrupt country in the world out of 133 countries surveyed underlines the gravity of Nigeria's situation.
This episode is just one of many examples of the difficulties El-Rufai and other proponents of reform encounter when attempting to improve Nigeria's political environment. Beginning with his role advising the transitional government of General Abdulsalami Abubakar following General Sani Abacha's death, to his tenure as director general of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and then as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja (FCT), El-Rufai has consistently acted in favour of transparent governance, even in situations in which there was enormous political pressure to conform with the status quo. Throughout its young history as an independent nation, efforts to reform the politics of corruption in Nigeria are often met with fierce resistance, and the accompanying accusations and charges against El-Rufai during this time fit into this larger pattern.
This document seeks to clear Nasir El-Rufai's name and reputation. It will begin with a review of his career in public service, including his role in the transitional government of General Abdulsalami Abubakar, his tenure in the BPE, and then Minister of the FCT. The various charges brought against El-Rufai are summarized, as well as the subsequent rebuttals and lawsuits he filed in his defence to counter the falsehoods of the accusations. The persecution of El-Rufai has occurred within the context of Nigeria's political culture, underscoring a familiar and disappointing trend of the leadership threatening to reverse the country's tentative steps toward reform back the status quo, and in the process, the government has spread unacceptable lies to its citizens and the international community.
Muhammad J. B. permalinkDecember 2, 2009
Mallam Nasir has been an exemplary leader in a country that does not understand and practice good governance. In his years as Minister, and throughout his career, he has done a great deal to define the distinctive character of who a leader should be. He has brought to all he does a powerful devotion to the country he loves – and has inspired a similar devotion in others. particularly myself. He has also been a strong and influential voice within the then federal executive council on matters of national concern. He is someone whose organizational and financial expertise has long benefited not just the FCTA but the entire country. He has been and will remain a valued role model for me and I Believe for a great many citizens of this country.
Today, I hope all will join me in saluting Mallam – and letting him know how much we appreciate all he has done, and continues to do, for Nigeria. to paraphrase Mr. Kanu Agabi, "We cannot fail to act just because we are afraid that we might err".
It is noteworthy today that a former attorney general has boldly written that contrary to what we are meant to believe the duo of Mallam and Ribadu marked the true beginning of the restoration of the rule of law in Nigeria.
Segson Adeyemi permalinkJanuary 8, 2010
Prior to the emergence of Mal. El-rufai and Nuhu Ribadu, I actually see the north as been composed of lazy "agbada" wearing people who only make a living by laying about. (With sincere apologies now that I know better). Although Sir Ahmadu Bello died a long time ago, he was noentheless my hero (not even by kin's father AWOLOWO)up till the time Mal. Nuhu Ribadu and El-rufai emerged.
The inestimable achievments of the duo el-rufai and nuhu ribadu changed my mental picture completely untill recently when the present administration started appointing people with peasant knowledge as Ministers and Head of Parastatals, especialy with majority of them from a particular part (state) of the federation.
It is surprising that these two (2) stars from the North were discovered by a leader from the south, Olusegun Obasanjo. Late Ahmadu Bello would have also discovered and parade them to the world if he were to be alive today!
My second confession has to do with Yar'Adua's Ministerial appointments in 2007. I, though unconsciously, lost interest in Yar'Adua's administration after El-rufai's name was missing in the list! I immediately concluded in my mind that the present administration may not succeed! I don't really know why i felt that way. I can say that I have been proved right!
It is needless of me to start talking about the profile of the duo, but I have decided to be a part of whatever programme they intend to pursue in Nigeria for Nigerians.
We Love you all
Thank you.
Nurudeen Tafida Sambo permalinkFebruary 13, 2010
I'm surprising nigerians! Imagine a person who have never respect the rule of law during his era is now a hero in their faces, very unfortunate! Does that mean we have to destroy the future of our country before we become a hero? Does that means we must become hypocrite before we can be recognize? Does that mean our mases did not deserve to be a good citizen since there are less privilege in the govt? Mr nasiru answer this questions for me.

The emergence of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and Nasir El-Rufai, at the corridors of power in Nigeria, was the introduction of progress and development. These men should courage and dedication in their duties towards their fatherland.
The present witch-hunt on their personalities by some disgruntled elements of the political class is a disservice to their service and the nation at large. We will do everything within our powers to stop this madness. Ribadu and El-Rufai will forever remain mine, and our heroes.
We are solidly behind your pursuit in life. The enemies of this Nationa will not triumph over you.
Thank you for all your contributions.

el rufai present ordeal is not unconnected with the fact that he step on some so called big toes while trying to restore the FCT master plan…Only recently i met with some group of street hawkers, in the cause of our discussion one of them was telling me that abuja is no longer a place to stay and am kind of confused and i asked him why do you said so. he said and i quote. " a group of thugs stop me on my way going home assaulted and collected all my belongings and left for their shanties and nobody dare to say a word against them,imagine such thing are happening on daily basis now.how dare somebody try such things during el rufai it cannot happen..though am his victim but i missed him."So you see history has judge him and time has vindicated him.Abuja is fast deteriorating..as a youth i believe in somebody like him who can secure the future of this country..

I was begining to have hope in this country when people like El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu were in the position of authority in this country, but this present administration just destroy the hope completely by putting Anakonda or whatever his name is who is more of a minister of injustice to head ministry of justice. It is a great shame, my head is permanently bend in awe of this country. I am praying and waiting for when people like El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu will come back to the stage in this country. We need more of them.
Ajuwon Oluseye permalinkMarch 2, 2010
In developed countries and any country that want development, they look for the best of brains, people with vision to rule them. In Nigeria we have not been fortunate, we always go to the other end to seek our leader. When are we going to stop this and start choosing people with ideas and vision? God will help us. Nigerians I do not know how we are going to do this, but we need to come together to bring people like El-Rufai, Nuhu Ribadu and the likes to come and rule us in this country enough of rubbish.

"We who seek to build democracy must not be bound by the false assertion that the rule of law is democratic. A re-examination of history teaches us that our powerful legal system is a massive fortress against popular sovereignty. One of our most important tasks is to revisit fundamental questions that were resolved by undemocratic means in the past". believe, like so many other Nigerians, in the democratic institution and dispensation in the country. As a committed democrat, I believe this is the only way we can survive and progress as a nation and develop as a people. I also believe in the Rule of Law, which is defined as the "principle" that governmental authority is legitimately exercised only in accordance with written, publicly disclosed laws adopted and enforced in accordance with established procedure. The principle is intended to be a safeguard against arbitrary governance. We actually need this for our democracy to survive. I have highlighted the word "principle" because principle is in turn defined as "a general truth used as a basis of reasoning or action, or as a personal code of conduct, a scientific law shown or used in the working of something" (Oxford English Dictionary). A principle is therefore not binding on anybody except the person who holds on to that principle; it is discretionary and not to be taken as a whole truth or necessarily as a benchmark, however it is often regarded as a guide in explaining one's actions or beliefs. A principle can be bad or good, wrong or right, depending on the circumstance or the individual. For example, Adolf Hitler's principle of Nazism was not something that was widely acceptable, yet it remained a principle. where are the nigerian principle or our principle was build base on corruption and unethical reasoning? let us be realistic nd impartial, at least as far as Democracy, Nigerian-style is concerned. Yes, we all have our biases but sometimes we should put all these aside if we are truthful or honest about making our country, not great (I don't care about Nigeria being great now) but a liveable, peaceful, enjoyable and progressive nation for all of us in future……………………

Knights Break Streak with Win over Presentation
NEW ULM, Minn. - The MLC men's basketball team broke a season-long winless streak with a 73-69 win over Presentation Saturday night.
MLC dominated the first half, shooting 55 percent from the field and committing only two turnovers on the way to taking a 44-30 halftime lead.
Justin Eternick and Craig Wilke led MLC in that stretch, with Eternick scoring ten points on 4-6 shooting from the field, while Wilke scored 11 points on 3-5 shooting and also dished out four assists.
Presentation made things difficult in the second half, clawing back in the game on the offensive glass, which led to 16 points in the paint and ten second chance points in the final stanza for the Saints.
The Knights wouldn't back down, however, with Galen Holzhueter and Craig Wilke each finishing strong drives to the basket to give MLC some breathing room before clutch free throw shooting put the game away.
Defensively, the Knights frustrated the Saints for much of the game, forcing Presentation to shoot 39 three-pointers in the game. MLC finished the game shooting 48 percent, and held Presentation to 35 percent.
Wilke finished as the high scorer for MLC with a career-high 16 points off the bench, while Holzhueter had 15 points and a team-best ten rebounds. Justin Danell and Eternick each had 14.
With the win, MLC improved to 1-19 on the season and 1-9 in the UMAC, while Presentation dropped to 7-12 overall and 3-7 in league play.
MLC will return to Friday, February 10, when it travels to St. Scholastica for a game scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m..

While most people complain about the high amounts of humidity in the outdoor air, the right amount of moisture in the indoor air is important for our health. Low humidity is known to dry out the mucous membranes, making it easier for you to get a cold. It can also dry out your eyes, chap your lips, dry out your throat, and even make your skin itchy.
A humidifier can solve these annoying problems.
When you start shopping for a humidifier, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Easy maintenance. A humidifier that's not clean is a perfect place for bacteria to breed, as well as mold. This won't do your health any good. If keeping a humidifier clean seems like an impossible chore, make sure you purchase one that promises easy-care.
- Easy-to-use controls and hydrostat. The hydrostat controls the amount of humidity, which is extremely important because too much moisture can breed bacteria, or make health problems worse.
- Energy savings. Models that use "steam" or "warm mist" often use more energy than ultrasonic, impeller, or evaporative types because they involve heating water. Out of all the models, the in-duct is usually the best at energy saving.
- The right size. Think about the area in your home you want to humidify. If the room or area has high ceilings, you'll want to take that into consideration, too.
Following these tips will make buying the right humidifier for your home as easy as possible.
