On Saturday, September 13 I'll be dancing a little tango exhibition with Stephen Coshatt at USA Dance Greater Macon Chapter #6059′s monthly dance. It is National Ballroom Dance Month so the chapter is presenting some exhibition dances instead of teaching a lesson. Carl Candiano and his partner Natalie Greene are dancing a rumba. Daniel and I were asked to dance but Daniel already had another commitment. I asked Stephen, who has been coming to our classes for a while now, to dance with me and he agreed! I am more excited for him than I am for myself. It'll be his first time performing! I started choreographing our routine today and he has already learned most of it. On a quick turnaround like this we can't do anything too elaborate, but simpler steps done well tend to look better anyway. Come see us dance next Saturday at Howard Community Club. Open dancing will start at 8:00 and the exhibitions will start at 8:30.
Get your snarky t-shirts here!
If you've ever wanted to tell your partner to pipe down and get on with the business of dancing, we've got the t-shirts for you. Order your shirt before September 3; Teespring requires a minimum order of 10 shirts (for each design) but if the minimum isn't reached, you won't be charged. What do you have to lose? Order one for yourself and one for your partner–or one for the partner you wish you had!
Ladies' version ("Shut Up and Lead")–white tee, magenta script lettering
Gents' version ("Shut Up and Follow")– white tee, black "magic marker" style lettering
Both shirts feature our URL (dldancers.com) below the main message so you can easily answer the question "Where did you get that t-shirt?"

Dancing Stars of Central Georgia 2014 Recap
Woo! I am still in a daze after last night's amazing event. We set a new fundraising record of $248,013 of which Dean raised over $70,000! His total made us the People's Choice award winners! I am so proud of all his hard work both on and off the dance floor. He and his wife Ashley (Daniel's partner in 2012 when they won People's Choice) are a power couple in the best possible way: boundless positive energy, totally down to earth, always ready to "git 'er dun." So that's just what we did! After the jump, a full rundown of the evening's adventures + some pics! Read more
#Deanra rehearsal video!
Just a week till showtime. It's not too late to get tickets: hit up dancingstarsofcentralgeorgia.com and click "Tickets." Be sure to choose Dean Copelan from the "In Support Of" menu. Thanks!
Dancing Near the Stars
Last night, Daniel and I got a special treat: we got to take a master class from Tony Dovolani of Dancing With the Stars fame. He was in Atlanta rehearsing with his DWTS season 18 partner NeNe Leakes (Real Housewives of Atlanta) at Academy Ballroom and decided to offer a class. Being star-struck goofballs and avid DWTS fans, we said yes to the class as soon as we heard about it! Tony is very nice and approachable, very funny, and an excellent teacher. He focused on Latin/Rhythm technique and styling with an emphasis on balance and using energy. Read more
What does a professor look like?
Emily Friedman, a graduate student in English at University of Missouri, has started this great Tumblr called "What a Professor Looks Like." It examines public perceptions of the professorial image and contrasts them with photos of actual professors, mostly in our after-hours clothing. Let's just say that most of the professoriate is NOT walking around in tweed jackets with elbow patches, smoking pipes!
Who Is Deanra?
Dancing Stars of Central Georgia just posted photos from Thursday's cast party on their Facebook page. You can look at the whole album (this link will work if I am lucky) but I wanted to post one pic of Dean and me for those who don't know him:
Yesterday I had Daniel stand in for Dean so I could start trying out the choreography. Our routine is going to be so much fun! I can't wait to start rehearsals.
Introducing Team Deanra
Last night was the cast party for the 2014 edition of Dancing Stars of Central Georgia, the Alzheimer's Association fundraiser that Daniel and I first participated in back in 2012. This year I was asked to rejoin the cast at the special request of one of the stars. We all convened at the Blacksmith Shop last night to officially meet our partners for the first time. My star is Dean Copelan, a vice-president at SunTrust Bank and the husband of Ashley Copelan with whom Daniel danced in 2012 and won the People's Choice trophy for top fund-raiser. I am very excited to be partnered with Dean! As soon as I found out he was my star, I knew exactly what I wanted to choreograph for us. He is totally game and up for anything: the ideal partner!
We have already agreed on a no-trash-talking, totally victory-focused approach. Go, Team Deanra!
WGXA is once again serving as a presenting sponsor so we got to appear on their newscast last night:

Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin and Indiana ratcheted up pressure on their absent Democratic colleagues Thursday, aiming to force an end to standoffs over bills that would limit public workers' bargaining rights.
In Wisconsin, GOP senators unanimously passed a resolution finding their 14 Democratic colleagues in contempt. They ordered the Democrats to return to the Senate in Madison by 4 p.m.—and threatened them with arrest if they failed to comply. Indiana House Republicans moved to start fining missing Democrats $250 a day, beginning Monday.
"This is not something I take lightly, and it's not something I take any pleasure in doing," said Wisconsin GOP Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald. "We simply cannot have democracy be held hostage because the minority wants to pout in Illinois."
A new WSJ/NBC poll shows Americans do not approve of the government slashing Social Security and Medicaid to reduce the nation's deficit. They also have a bleak economic outlook for 2011, but feel President Obama is handling the economy well.
Wisconsin's Democratic senators fled to Illinois two weeks ago to prevent the state Senate from voting on GOP Gov. Scott Walker's "budget-repair bill." The Senate needs at least one Democrat present to vote on the bill, which passed the Assembly last Friday. The bill would strip many collective-bargaining rights from most of Wisconsin's 170,000 public employees.
The Senate resolution passed Thursday says the body can compel members' attendance.It says senators who fail to show up will be held in contempt, and the sergeant-at-arms will be ordered to bring them to the Senate chambers "with or without force, and with or without the assistance of law enforcement, by warrant or other legal process."
Wisconsin state Sen. Jon Erpenbach, one of the absent Democrats, said in a statement: "All 14 of us remain in Illinois, very strong in our convictions. Issuing arrest warrants at 4 p.m. isn't going to solve the problem. This is a debate about protection of the middle class in Wisconsin; that is what the Republicans should be focusing on."
By law, Wisconsin officers can't cross state lines to retrieve the lawmakers. But the resolution could keep Democrats from going back to Wisconsin for brief trips. Prior to this, they could only be compelled to the Senate when it was in session.
Thousands rallied nationwide last week in support of unions.

The governor says his bill is necessary to eliminate a $137 million shortfall in the fiscal year ending June 30 and to begin addressing a $3.6 billion projected deficit for the following two fiscal years.
Democratic State Rep. Peter Barca, the Assembly minority leader, said he met with Gov. Walker to discuss ending the impasse. "This was the first time I thought the governor seemed open to ideas," Mr. Barca said.

"Gov. Walker remains focused on balancing Wisconsin's budget," said his spokesman, Cullen Werwie, when asked about the meeting.
In Indiana, House Republicans also took tougher action against the 37 House Democrats who fled to Illinois on Feb. 22, halting action on a "right-to-work" bill that would have allowed private-sector workers to opt out of unions that represent them.
"We didn't do this without a great deal of thought and it's not being done flippantly," Indiana Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma said of the fines approved Thursday. He said it was one of the few means Republicans possess to compel the Democrats to return. House Republicans hold a 60-40 majority but lack a quorum to vote on bills.

John Schorg, a spokesman for the House Democrats, called the fines "a hollow threat" that wouldn't resolve the standoff.
Meanwhile, Ohio union officials said they would continue to oppose a bill passed by the Senate that would prohibit unions representing public-sector workers from negotiating health benefits and pensions.
The Ohio House, where Republicans have a 59-40 majority, could pass the bill as early as next week and send it to GOP Gov. John Kasich for his signature. Mr. Kasich says bargaining curbs would enable local governments to rein in labor costs and help the state bridge a pending $8 billion budget shortfall.

Vote in elections

Any New Zealand citizen and permanent resident who is 18 or over and whose name is on either the Māori or general electoral roll before election day can vote in a general election. Each voter has two votes to cast — a party vote and an electorate vote. This is how New Zealand citizens choose who represents them in Parliament. This electoral system is called mixed-member proportional representation or MMP.
More detailed information about elections in New Zealand from elections.org.nz
Your party vote
Your party vote is important because it helps decide the share of the 120* seats in Parliament that is allocated to each political party. If a party crosses the minimum 'threshold' (either by winning at least one electorate seat, or 5% of all party votes) it has seats allocated to it in close proportion to the percentage of party votes it receives. A party's share of seats is filled first by candidates who win electorate seats and then by candidates from the party list.
Your electorate vote
Your electorate vote helps decide who your local member of Parliament will be. There's a different choice of candidates in each of the 64 general electorates (one more than in the 2011 election) and seven Māori electorates. Each candidate usually represents a political party, but a candidate may stand for election independent of a party. The candidate who wins the most electorate votes wins the seat.
Voting outcomes: overhang seats*
'Overhang' occurs when a party wins more electorate seats than the total share of seats it would otherwise be allocated based on its share of party votes. The overhang seats (the number above the party vote entitlement) are added to the usual 120 seats until the following general election.
Voting outcomes: the 2014 general election
At the conclusion of the 2014 General Election there are seven political parties represented by 121 members of Parliament in the 51st Parliament. There are 50 list, 64 general electorate, and seven Māori electorate members of Parliament in the House of Representatives.

U.S., Japan Want a Piece of China's Myanmar Action
Myanmar's investment authorities may fear now that China's traditional industries would mold their country into something it doesn't want to be -- a scrappily overbuilt and polluted land ignominiously dependent on economic relations with the country that sculpted it that way.
"As Myanmar proceeds through the industrialization process, the country is starting to worry that massive imports of manufactured goods from China will jeopardize its weak national industry," Caijing adds. "Moreover, it has also become discontent with simply exporting its resources."
At a deeper and more vexing level, Myanmar "seeks to adjust its relations with China," according to an October 2012 report by the Institute of Developing Economies under the Japan External Trade Organization (Jetro), a government-linked body that promotes Japanese trade and investment in other parts of the world. The Southeast Asian nation formerly known as Burma hatched a foreign investment gold rush after its first transition from military rule to civilian government in 23 years in March 2011. Before then Myanmar stuck by China as Western nations imposed sanctions on the strict authoritarian government. The new government wanted out of China's shadow.
"In order to eventually detach itself from its excessive dependence on China, Myanmar's government began to seek out ways to improve its relations with Western countries," the Jetro report says. "Under these circumstances, Japan reinitiated its full-fledged assistance to Myanmar, and a large number of Japanese private companies began to visit the country."The United States also began to develop its business relationship with Myanmar, for example, by easing restrictions on American companies investing in Myanmar," the (obviously pro-Tokyo) report adds. "Thus, entering the age of democratization, the presence of China in Myanmar is becoming relatively weaker." As of last year, Myanmar's Directorate of Investment & Company Registration said 88% of overseas projects went to power, mining and oil and gas. About 34% of the $40.4 billion in foreign investment then came from China -- too much, apparently. China's lost traction would help American companies that are contributing to services and tourism. For example, KFC, a unit of YUM! Brands (YUM), serves fried chicken served in the capital Yangon. In June, Coca-Cola (KO) announced the opening of its first Myanmar bottling plant, part of the drink giant's five-year investment plans worth $200 million and 22,000 local jobs.

However, the title pursues a "what if" scenario where, in this case, the Soviet Union does not collapse and instead pursues a course of war to remain in power. It is an intensive new game is sure to put plenty of stress on even the latest graphics cards and we use the built-in benchmarking for our testing.
At the lower resolution we see both cards are performing quite close to each other. When we climb to 2560 x 1600, though, we can see in the minimum department the GTX 260 OCX is a good chunk faster.

GOP debate: Gingrich assailed by rivals, fires back at Romney

The format is often surreal, and people who hate the candidates lay into them.
Any serious person should avoid being in or watching all these debates.
There is a lot of information available at candidate websites, and historical information from prior news reports about all candidates. There are also hostile websites, which sadly are often so hostile as to offer little of value, much like the pro candidate sites.
|Sun, 12-11-2011 - 6:24pm
Oh, and I just wanted to mention that I think Romney really put his foot in it last night with the $10,000 bet he wanted to make with Rick Perry.

Newt just took his 4th fidelity pledge. I particualrly find the part about "defending the right of people to rule themselves" bizarre. Since it seems to exclude women and homosexuals from having the right to rule themsleves. But, what can you expect from a man who has had to take a fidelity oath FOUR times to THREE different wives, because he's had one waiting in the wings when the others been in the hospital or the Drs. office? Sure hope Callista doesen't get sick.
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich this week signed a pledge to uphold conservative values from the Iowa-based group The Family Leader and vowed to restrict federal dollars from paying for abortion overseas, uphold the Defense of Marriage Act and stay true to his wife, Callista.

Proposed Litchfield cell tower hits roadblock
LITCHFIELD -- A proposal to build a 157-foot high cell tower at 469 Bantam Road has hit a roadblock in the form of the White Memorial Foundation.
White Memorial, in a letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission, said a deed restriction on the property that is being proposed as the site for the tower requires White Memorial, as an adjacent property owner, to approve any type of development.

Watch Metallica's Secret Surprise Show as 'Dehaan' at Orion Music 2013
Heavy metal vets performed 'Kill 'Em All' in its entirety
When Metallica took the stage at this year's Orion Music + More Festival under the alias Dehaan to perform their entire 1983 debut album, Kill 'Em All, SPIN labeled it the Best Surprise of the two-day showcase. "As Metallica launched into 'Hit the Lights,' the audience was too busy capturing this intimate Metallica gig on camera phones to really mosh," SPIN's Christopher R. Weingarten wrote. Lucky for everyone not in attendance, someone in the crowd has uploaded the entire 52-minute gig online. Celebrate Kill 'Em All's 30th anniversary by watching the furious 10-song set above.
The band's pseudonym is a reference to Dane DeHaan, the lead actor in Metallica's upcoming documentary-ish 3D concert film, Metallica Through the Never.

American Eagle Outfitters says it cares about workers – its Code of Conduct requires contractors to respect the right of employees to form a union. Yet workers at the warehouse contracted to ship AEO clothing in Canada faced harassment and intimidation when they tried to improve conditions by forming a union. And American Eagle hasn't lifted a finger to enforce its Code of Conduct. American Vulture - Boycott American Eagle
A majority of workers at National Logistics Services (NL applied to join UNITE HERE. Workers wanted a union because they had not received raises in two to three years, lacked a fair process to move into permanent employment, dealt with daily disrespect from management, and faced unfair policy changes, like increased hours before overtime is paid.
The same day workers applied for union certification, NLS management intensified its anti-union campaign, hiring a US-based labor relations firm that arranged daily two-hour anti-union meetings, hung huge "vote no" posters in the workplace, and mailed an anti-union DVD to workers' homes.
American Eagle is NLS's largest client and owned and operated the NLS distribution center until early 2006. "We work hard and want to be treated fairly.We feel insecure about our jobs because of the company's intimidation. We need a union because we have no voice." -NLS Worker, speaking anonymously for fear of retaliation Full Petition Text:
Take the Pledge!
I pledge to not purchase American Eagle Outfitters merchandise until AEO enforces its Code of Conduct to ensure that distribution workers at National Logistics Services in Ontario have the right to join a union free from harassment and intimidation. Signed by: [Your name] [Your address]

Break up with Google this Valentine's Day.
On Tuesday, February 14th join the No Luv 4 Google campaign and protest Google's partnership with the Chinese government in censoring and distorting the truth. More than just blocking access to "politically sensitive information" (as if that wasn't bad enough), Google directs users in China, Tibet and other Chinese-occupied territories to the wrong information - propaganda Beijing wants them to see. We've created a special site just for this campaign. Visit: NoLuv4Google.com now to check it out! This Valentine's Day, show you have a heart for freedom and human rights and no love for Google:
For too long western businesses have told us their presence in China would bring openness and democracy, but instead, China has changed our businesses to become more closed and repressive. While Tibetans and others suffering under Beijing's brutal rule look to the free world to help, most corporations and governments are selling them out. And now Google, one of the most popular and seemingly progressive Internet industry leaders, has sold them out too.
On February 14th, stand up for freedom and human rights and show Google that human values aren't for sale. Click here to take action now!
We know Google's not the only one helping the Chinese government. Click here to take action and tell Yahoo!, Microsoft & Cisco Systems you don't love them either.

3 Throwback Paper Football Apps for Super Bowl Week
New York City is in full-blown Super Bowl mode with the big event happening this Sunday just across the Hudson at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. About a dozen blocks along Broadway are blocked to traffic beginning Wednesday for a "Super Bowl Boulevard" that features NFL stars, music and even a Times Square toboggan run. Hotels and cabs are full, and New Yorkers are wishing they had remembered to flee for somewhere warmer (and less crowded!).
We were not a big football family growing up, but on Super Bowl Sunday, I do remember one game that always preceded kickoff among my siblings: the paper football toss. We used a matchbook to flick over the TV room's coffee table, but it's the same idea. And now, of course, there are apps for this. So here are three paper football toss apps to bring back those memories and help complete your Super Bowl 2014 week. Read more

Apple Kills Chomp for Android (GigaOM)
Apple acquired app discovery service Chomp earlier this year, betting that it would help make app discovery easier and better on its iTunes App Store. The casualty of that acquisition is the Chomp for Android app which seems to have been discontinued. Ars Technica Chomp's app allows users to search the App Store using a proprietary algorithm to figure out what apps actually do (instead of just using keywords or app names). The app also allows users to see which apps their Facebook or Twitter friends have reviewed, adding a social networking element to the service. MacRumors Apple reportedly paid about $50 million for Chomp, which also had a deal with Verizon to power its Android app search tools. That agreement will presumably be ending as Chomp completes its integration into Apple and focuses all of its attention on iOS. SlashGear Still, beyond the annoyance factor for Android users previously relying on Chomp to ferret out new software, the real interest should come when Apple better integrates the engine into its own store. According to sources speaking when the deal was first revealed, Apple intends to use the technology to dramatically improve the discoverability of new and interesting apps in its increasingly crowded store.

Dieting with Obstacles - prednisone
View Full Version : prednisone
:) Anyone out there using prednisone? Any suggestions as to how to keep from gaining weight when you are as hungry as a wolf? I have sarcoidosis and the dr. says I will probably be on it the rest of my life. I am 57.
joan fay
What advice does your doctor give you? Maybe a natural health person can give you some advice. I wouldn't go out on a limb without checking with your doctor.
Joan Fay:dizzy:
The dr.s basically don't give you much advice. They know what it does to the appetite but figure it is better than what else is going on, in my case kidney failure. And it does work. I have no insurance because I have had this off and on for 30 yr. and don't have money to see dietician's etc. I go to Mayo and that is a pretty good place. Once about 15 yr ago I went to a thing like diet center and that was helpful. I checked it out last Jan and was going to be $1000.
I've had to be on prednisone from time to time due to asthma. The first time I gained 40 pounds. After that I figured out I could eat bushels of veggies and not gain. I eliminated white from my diet - no white flour, sugar, rice, bread, etc. I use whole grains and make sure I only have a normal portion of them and meat. I pretty much follow the USDA Food Pyramid suggestions at www.mypyramid.com for serving sizes. I do South Beach and WW Core combined.
I have been on prednisone for 3 1/2 years. At times I was taking 60 or more mg. a day. I have been weaned to 20 mg. daily now. I gained a lot of weight while using this med. (50 lbs.). I thought I would just have to live with being obese due to this medication. Last summer I saw a new hepatologist for my liver disease and he put me on a low-carb diet. I was able to lose 89 lbs. by doing the low-carb plan and exercising. I am at goal now (as of this morning) and am so happy that although I have serious health problems, that I made it. So, never give up and know that it can be done, even with this med. that makes you so hungry.
My doctor recommended slimfast and/or SugarBusters. He said I'm in a tough situation because of my disease I can't always exercise but I need to lose the weight I've gained with prednisone (around 50 pounds). Don't give up. I got off prednisone in April and I've only lost 7 pounds BUT it's 7 pounds! I can't seem to get rid of the spare tire I got from it. I've never ever had a thick waist before and it's very frustrating.
I agree that SugarBusters would also work well for someone on Prednisone. My doctor just said low-carb and I chose Atkins. Most of his patients are on South Beach and are doing well with it. Although I used Atkins, I didn't eat a high fat diet, ate lean protein, whole wheat grains and included all kinds of fruit and this worked fine for me. I just couldn't give up everything that I loved.
Prednisone is evil, it had alot to do with my gaining most of my weight, i took it on and off from when I was 13 on, I used to get what I call "moon face" with it, my face would become really round, my face would break out and I would be hungry as ****, it's some evil stuff, plus after you got off of it it felt like you had the flu...achy muscles and such:devil:
its an evil evil medicine.....
If you were weaned off properly you wouldn't have the side effects. You should never just stop prednisone. I always consider it a necessary evil - it has bad side effects but when I can't breathe its a lifesaver.
Thanks, everyone. This is the most info that I have ever received on the subject! Is there anywhere on here where you all have your weight loss stories? They must be so inspiring. I have tried Atkins but just can't do it anymore. I like whole grains, fruits and veggies, and a little protein. Sweets can be a problem. I can't have dairy because of high blood calcium and can't be out in the sun for the same reason. I like to garden so go out after 6pm or early in the morning. Lil, will you be on the prednisone for life? I was really discousaged when the dr. told me I would need it for life. Thanks, all.

Just browsing through catalogs and such ive noticed that alot of race hardtails use the shimano x61 version of the xt and xtr derailleurs instead of the intended x60 series. Usually the clamps end up coming between the waterbottle mounts as the x61 uses a higher clamp. Is there any advantage to this setup? Other then a 961 derailleur being quite a bit cheaper then the 960 model?

Today my cats decided to take the day off, so we shall look at some drawings of cats from one of my vintage books. The book shown today is "Paws and Claws: Being True Tales of Clever Creatures, Tame and Wild, Illustrated."
This book was first published in 1874 by Elizabeth Anna Hart.
She was born in 1822 in London, England.
Her aunt was Lewis Carroll's grandmother. Lewis Carroll was the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." She is best known for her children's book: "The Runaway" published in 1872. She died in 1890.
The cover of my book shown above, is not the first edition cover. The alternate title is: "Peeps at the world of birds and beasts." It is written as a children's book. Inside the book are many many drawings of English woodland animals, including cats. The book has many illustrations; however, there was no mention I could find of the name of the illustrator. Some of these pictures are signed H Weir. He was Harrison Weir, an English artist and gentleman (1824 - 1906). His specialties in painting and sketching were animals, and garden scenes. I will today show many of the larger "cat" illustrations. These are familiar scenes today, except, perhaps, of the cat and the hare. The book is in the public domain, and can be found easily as a free "ebook." The ebook I looked at did not have the illustrations.

text: HomeTVGeneral HospitalBREAKING NEWS: Former Y&R Exec Josh Griffith Lands Trial Writing Deal With General Hospital! Jamey Giddens June 23, 2009 General Hospital, One Life to Live, The Young and The Restless 17 Comments Ah nothing like the taste of old blood! General Hospital has added a new scribe to its stable of writers. Word is veteran producer/scribe Josh Griffith, who co-created the late Aaron Spelling's short-lived NBC guilty pleasure soap Sunset Beach with current GH head writer Bob Guza, has been offered a trial script writing deal with the ABC sudser. When we last heard from Griffith, who also wrote for One Life to Live, As The World Turns and my beloved Santa Barbara, he was being bounced from his executive producer gig at The Young and the Restless for allegedly tangling with Auntie Ri Ri (aka Maria Arena Bell). Josh is alright and all I guess, but when is someone gonna hire Sri Rao? 17 Responses THEBEST June 23, 2009 This is a step in the right direction. I don't understand why Josh has to share. Just get Guza out of there! Hopefully, this is the beginning of the creative renaissance for GH… Log in to Reply josser June 24, 2009 Is he a good writer? BTW, what happened to Martha Byrne's writing gig at B&B? Did she finish her trial? Log in to Reply Jamey Giddens June 24, 2009 This is a step in the right direction. I don't understand why Josh has to share. Just get Guza out of there! Hopefully, this is the beginning of the creative renaissance for GH… *** LOL his trial is not for co-head. It's just a part of the writing team. Log in to Reply tori4rmtexas June 24, 2009 Its not the scripts or the breakdowns that need work,its the long story that needs help. GUZA needs a co-headwriter to balance him out and Frons' to stop meddling would also help. Log in to Reply east.west June 24, 2009 Yeah I agree w/tori4rmtexas! I think getting Guza a coHW to balance out things would be a start. B/c after starting rewatching again w/new eyes I realize that the pieces are there, but we need ppl to put it together. I think if they do what GL did and divide the HW teams w/ppl like Karen Harris & Michele Val Jean, you know WOMEN!!!!!!!!!, along w/Guza it can go a long way. Log in to Reply THEBEST June 24, 2009 Oh, what the hell?! Will those idiots realize that getting people for the writing team don't mean a damn thing when the problem stems from the head writer. This is show is determined to get canceled. Log in to Reply LovesDog June 24, 2009 Wash, rinse, repeat. Musical chairs of soap writers goes on. Log in to Reply discodan June 24, 2009 Maybe he could make sense of Nikolas banging his dead fiance's twin…..that's also being recycled on All My Children. I need an asprin Log in to Reply gush900 June 24, 2009 Im such a huge fan of Josh Griffith.I loved when Josh and Michael Malone were head writers at oltl.From viki's incest did storyline to martys rape he is one of the best head writers.Hopefully frons names him co head writer Log in to Reply kiyote72 June 24, 2009 I loved sunset beach…any rumors on Guza being fired….quick – everyone pray, meditate, do what ever you do to help that happen! Log in to Reply patrick1965 June 24, 2009 What has happened to the GH spoilers? Haven't seen any since Thursday. Did they get pushed to the backburner like Bobbie and the Q's? lol Log in to Reply DaytimeLuv June 24, 2009 Josh Griffith is another recycled hack. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 June 24, 2009 Hopefully this is a step in the right direction… As for Sri, I'm assuming he's got other projects he's working on and might not want to write for a daytime soap Whatever happened to that ABC Daytime Writers Development program they used to have (or whatever they called it)?? I would think they'd have plenty of fresh meat to pick from, just from that program alone. Log in to Reply katclaws June 24, 2009 If Frons is still there, will anything ever really change??? They need to start pink-slipping from the top & work their way down. Sri Rao would be a dream come true! Log in to Reply Cyberologist June 24, 2009 Unless he is able to get his ideas to play out in story. I don't see the point the problems are still there Guza as HW and Frons meddling with his vision The "vision" isn't changing just how it is written. Everytime I get hopeful and its just the same ole airhogs eating the screen. Basically the same ole story….a bunch of new meaningless characters that come and go…. Log in to Reply miajere June 24, 2009 This is the guy who cemented Todd Manning on OLTL- I don't think he's there to balance the misogyny out on GH.

What might pre-ancestral life have been like to a kid - from the perspective of a young evolutionist?
Guest Blogger: Megan (at age 12)
Lucille woke as the sun rose. The cave she was sleeping in was deadly silent. My family must be sleeping, I shall wake them, she thought. She got up and shook her older sister. "Un. Waka foomu," said her sister Ava. Then Lucille walked over to her mom, dad, and brother. She mumbled, "Locku. Waka loopka forhy."
"Uh! Noto waka waka!" said her brother Renaldo.
"Renaldo, matinenty waka waka. FOOMU!" Yelled their mom.
The family stood up, and put on their loin cloths. They then headed outside, where the rest of the tribe was waiting. "Shoom, lethof, gertie," Said the tribe leader.
"Nuh. Duh looj," Said the tribe in unison. The males, Lucille's dad and brother included, went out into the woods to gather food for the tribe. The women of the clan headed into the main cave to cook over the fire, and get the medicine ready. Lucille and Ava hated this part of the day, but their mother made them do what the tribe leader's wife said.

Third Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa held in Bahir Dar town
Addis Ababa, 28 April 2014 (WIC) - The third Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa was held in Bahir Dar town, Amhara Regional State under the theme: "Illicit Financial Flows and their impact on Peace and Security in Africa".
Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Hailemariam Desalegn, on the occasion highlighted the need for strong and transparent systems nationally and globally to curb illicit financial flows.
This was also echoed by former Nigerian President and Chairperson of the Forum, Olusegun Obsanjo. "These systems must be grounded in democracy and the principles of good governance," he said.
He said illicit financial flows were making the challenges of peace, security and stability more complex - by some, conservative, estimates Africa loses 60 billion USD annually.
Under-Secretary General and Executive Secretary of the UN ECA, Dr Carlos Lopes and AU Commissioner for Peace and Security, Ambassador Smail Chergui have attended the two-day meeting.

Quanta chose the RADVISION BEEHD video client framework for its out-of-the box video client functionality as well as its framework-level customization flexibility. This enabled Quanta developers to quickly and efficiently embed the RADVISION technology into the Quanta devices. The Quanta UC application, called LiveHD™, runs on desktop and laptop PCs and features a high quality HD 720p/30fps video call experience as well as desktop-sharing and other advanced collaboration features. The LiveHD client turns any PC into a HD UC endpoint.
"We evaluated a number of technologies before deciding to standardize on the RADVISION solution," said Sagin Hsu, associate vice president, Quanta Innovation Center, Business Group of Cloud, Quanta Computer. "BEEHD offers a unique combination of innovation and simplicity from a development standpoint. Additionally, RADVISION's H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and NetSense bandwidth adaptation technology enable our video client to sustain a high quality experience regardless of network conditions."
Hsu added, "With this UC solution, Quanta is able to extend its offerings beyond hardware, enabling Quanta's customers to take advantage of LiveHD to empower their users to participate in effective lifelike video meetings regardless of their location and at a truly affordable price point."Using Quanta's embedded hardware encoder camera for H.264 video encoding, desktop, laptop, and ultrabook users can experience HD video call quality while freeing CPU power for other application needs. Quanta also extends LiveHD technology to tablet platforms, enabling on-the-go workers to benefit from meaningful and effective communications. The new video capabilities will allow Quanta's enterprise customers to communicate efficiently between remote branches and with customers, maintaining a face-to-face communications experience. The solution is also optimized for business-to-consumer (B2C) and consumer-to-consumer (C2C) communications, extending the market opportunity for service providers offering cloud-based video communications.
