On Saturday, June 14, 1952, Aaron's once-small world began to expand. In Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Aaron signed a four-page document that made him the property of the Boston Braves, one of the most storied teams in baseball history (they began playing in the National League in 1876), and the Class C Eau Claire Bears. The agreement gave Aaron $350 a month during the season -- $200 a month from the Bears and $150 a month from Evansville, Indiana, of the Class B Three-I League. For an 18-year-old who was almost penniless, the money must have looked like a windfall -- even if it only was for three months. The wage was better than most players were making in the Northern League, where the team salary cap for the season was $3,400. With a roster limit of 17, that meant the average salary was $200 a month, which probably is why Aaron received his other $150 a month from Evansville. Aaron's salary also was better than most people were making in Wisconsin. The average manufacturing wage in Eau Claire in 1952 was $325 a month, the best in the state. Aaron's contract later was signed by the president of the NAPBL and by Herman D. White, the Northern League president who lived in Eau Claire and was one of the founders of minor league ball in the city. Four days later, the contract was stamped as "approved" at 9:22 a.m. on June 18, 1952. Henry Louis Aaron of Mobile, Alabama, officially was a pro baseball player. Yet he knew he would be in the pros only as long as he was producing, especially if he read his contract carefully. Paragraph 5b said: "This contract may be terminated at any time by the Club or by any assignee by giving official release notice to the player." Aaron, who was discovered that spring by Braves scouts while playing for the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro Leagues, officially replaced veteran outfielder Earl Bass on the Bears roster. Bass was a fan favorite, mostly because he hit a home run in the last game of the 1949 season to give the Bears the pennant. Bass still was bothered by a fractured ankle that he had suffered one or two seasons before. It wasn't the only time another player's broken ankle would figure in Aaron's advancement; in 1954, Bobby Thomson's broken ankle in spring training would open a spot for the rookie Aaron on the Milwaukee Braves' roster. The struggling Bears also made other roster moves, including sending infielders Jim "Lucky" Fairchild and John Dobeck and pitcher Gene Derwinski down to Class D at Appleton, Wisconsin, in the Wisconsin State League. Fairchild's departure left the shortstop position open for Aaron. The first month of the season had been a tough one on Fairchild, 23, a rookie from Long Island, New York. In his first game with the Bears, he made two errors. "It was awful. Too nervous, I guess," he surmised. He committed 15 errors in his first 14 games, which was a Northern League record. Fairchild attended a prep school as a teen-ager then went to the upper-class Princeton University, helping the team win an Ivy League championship. All his education wasn't an advantage in Eau Claire; he was replaced by an inexperienced, immature shortstop who had dropped out of high school that spring to play pro baseball. Fairchild, like many people, had to wonder, "Who is Henry Aaron?" That night, Aaron suited up for the first time when the Bears took on the first-place Rox, a farm team for the New York Giants, the team Aaron didn't sign with, the team that someday would realize it could have had Willie Mays and Henry Aaron in the same outfield. At game time, the temperature was 86 degrees and humid -- Alabama weather. Aaron donned his No. 6 Bears uniform for the first time, the word Bears in red script across the front of the white wool, button-up jersey. The baggy pants fell down to about mid-calf, where they were met with stirrup socks. Like all the players, he brought his own shoes and glove, the only parts of the uniform the club didn't provide. His still-developing post-adolescent frame looked lean, almost underfed as if he had been away from his mother's cooking for several months, which he had. The Bears wore navy blue caps with red bills. The insignia was an oversized C encircling an E. Players dressed in a spartan locker room at Carson Park stadium in Eau Claire. They changed clothes on wood slats over a dirt floor, which sometimes turned muddy after a rain. The Bears learned to get to the park early to claim one of the few nails on which to hang their gloves and clothes on the sloped ceiling, which was directly under the grandstand. After the game, they took turns showering in a musty two-nozzle stall. Yet they weren't complaining; until that season, visiting players didn't have any dressing room or a shower. Plus, the Bears were a privileged few taking part in pro baseball, the only sport that really mattered in the 1950s, except maybe boxing. Pro football, basketball, golf, tennis and other sports made headlines but weren't followed by the masses like baseball. It was a 6 p.m. game, and 1,250 fans had paid $1 for a box seat or 70 cents for general admission ticket to walk through the thick sandstone walls, take one of the 3,000 seats and see the Bears' latest major league prospect. Kids in the Knot Hole gang had paid 35 cents for the entire season. A box seat season ticket was only $54 for 125 games, about the price of a good seat to one major league game today. It was a simple time, monetarily. With another $1 in their pockets, fans could buy plenty to keep them busy between pitches: a scorecard, a seat cushion, peanuts, popcorn, a hot dog, a soda and an ice cream -- and still have a dime left over to call Lightning Cab if they needed a ride home. Fresh from the not-always-serious Clowns, Aaron walked onto Carson Park field for the first time and saw a half-filled stadium of curious white people staring at him from the covered wooden grandstand and metal auxiliary bleachers down the lines. "I was scared as hell," he said years later. Shy as he was, he probably kept his eyes off the crowd and on the field, a chain-link outfield fence and a "Home of the Eau Claire Bears" scoreboard. In center field was a flagpole that carried the Bears' 1951 Northern League pennant flag, which was hoisted two weeks earlier by Herman White, the league president and Eau Claire's City Council president. Beyond left field was a football stadium; beyond center and right fields were softball fields, tennis courts and Half Moon Lake. Aaron had doubts, not necessarily about his ability but his situation. He had grown up with the impression that white people were superior in every way. How could he forget the sound and the feel of racism -- his dinner plate being smashed at a Washington, D.C., restaurant only weeks earlier with the Clowns because he, a black man, had eaten off it? How could he not recall that just months earlier white people in his hometown wouldn't dare be seen with him, not in school, church, on a bus, at a restaurant, at a drinking fountain and certainly not on a baseball field? He had never faced a white pitcher in his life. Were they faster than black pitchers? Were their curve balls better? Did they know something he didn't? Would he be able to hit a white man? Were they really a superior race? Just the prospect of facing that fear in a city far from home at age 18 all alone might have been enough to send many people to the Union bus depot. Mobile had to look pretty inviting to Aaron that night. Home sickness ruined many a promising baseball career. For example, in 1951 the Chicago White Sox gave a $15,000 bonus to third baseman Luis Garcia of Venezuela. Garcia played for the Aberdeen, South Dakota, Pheasants, in the Northern League. But Garcia became homesick, gave the money back and went home. Alas, Garcia was back with the Pheasants in 1952. Aaron faced loneliness as well as a great cultural divide when he walked on the field for the first time in Eau Claire. He was comforted only in knowing that Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Willie Mays and other blacks had passed the white test. Would he? Aaron didn't come to bat in the first inning, although he started in the field at shortstop. Aaron batted seventh in player-manager Marion "Bill" Adair's lineup. Leading off was first baseman Dick Engquist followed by second baseman Pat Patterson, leftfielder Wes Covington, catcher Julie Bowers, rightfielder Lantz Blaney, centerfielder Chester Morgan, the ex-Clown Aaron, third baseman Ron Gendreau and pitcher Bobby Brown. Adair and Bill Conroy also saw action in the game as substitutes. Among the pitchers was Don Jordan, a hometown product and fan favorite who had a 16-6 record the previous pennant year. Pitchers Jordan, Brown and Gordon Roach along with Morgan were holdovers from the 1951 pennant team. In the second inning, trailing 2-0, the Bears began a rally when Morgan doubled to the fence in right-center field. Aaron came to bat against white pitcher Art Rosser of St. Cloud and calmly cracked a clean, line-drive single over third baseman Wray Upper to drive in Morgan, who had just come off the disabled list after 20 days with a blood clot in his leg. Aaron -- either trying to make an impression or trying to emulate Jackie Robinson -- tried to stretch the hit into a double but was thrown out. In the fifth inning it was the same combination. Morgan doubled and Aaron singled in his second at-bat -- again a line drive to left -- to drive in Morgan. All the waiting was over for Aaron. He had his answer. "Hank Aaron, 18-year-old Negro shortstop, made an auspicious beginning by banging out singles in his first two trips," sports editor Clell Buzzell wrote in the Eau Claire Leader the next day. Buzzell, like most media at the time, often on first reference mentioned the race or nationality of players if they weren't white or American. If Aaron's two line-drive hits were harbingers of his major-league career, so was his play at shortstop. Aaron had a solid night fielding until he muffed a double-play ball in the sixth inning that let the winning run score in a 4-3 loss. By the time he reached the majors in 1954, Aaron was an outfielder. Yet no one was blaming that night's loss on Aaron. Several other players made rookie-type errors, and Wes Covington went 0-for-5, striking out three times, once with the bases loaded and once in the bottom of the ninth with the tying run on second base as he looked at a called third strike. Aaron's bat had to be a welcome sight to Bears fans, whose teams had won two of the last three Northern League pennants. In 1951, the Bears won the pennant by 12 games under Adair. He was back as manager, but his 1952 Bears were 17-20 and already 13 games out of first place. Only two days before Aaron arrived, Buzzell wrote an editorial about the team's sagging attendance the first month. The team was 6,000 fans behind the 1951 attendance and beginning to worry about paying the bills. "Unless there is a big climb in attendance that holds up all season, there may be no Eau Claire Bears in 1953," Buzzell wrote. Although the weather had been poor in May, team officials and Buzzell surmised that low attendance figures could be blamed in part on the team's poor start, people listening to the radio broadcasts of the games and others simply staying home to enjoy television, the latest form of entertainment. Buzzell also mentioned a more volatile issue that may have been affecting attendance. "There have also been grumblings about the number of Negro players," he said. The Bears started the season with four black players, their most ever. They were Covington, Bowers, pitcher Walt James of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and outfielder Orlando Casellas of Puerto Rico. However, two weeks into the season Casellas was sent to Class D Danville, Illinois, in the Mississippi-Ohio Valley League. Another two weeks later, James followed. Buzzell most likely raised the blacks/attendance issue in his story because he had heard city residents -- and maybe some club officials -- complain. Even if he didn't give credence to the theory, he probably felt it was his responsibility to report what he had been hearing. Were James and Casellas sent down because the Bears suddenly developed a black quota when early-season attendance was down? Many black athletes in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when pro baseball, football and basketball were being integrated, felt they were victims of teams that set limits on how many black players could be on the roster. Many teams had an even number of blacks -- often two -- so that the blacks could room together on the road. But the arrangement wasn't necessarily for the blacks; teams were heading off any potential complaints from white players who didn't want to sleep in the same room as blacks. When Aaron arrived, he boosted the number of black Bears up to three, the way it stayed the rest of the season. All three of them stayed at the YMCA. However, the white players were offered rooms in private homes or in hotels. Only one white Bears player, pitcher Elmer Toth, stayed at the YMCA, but he doesn't remember associating with the three black players there. Thus, the white and black Bears players were segregated, but in 1952 with no black families in Eau Claire and with the YMCA available, separate housing probably was the path of least resistance. Aaron didn't mind the arrangement and didn't make an issue of it. "It was fine with me," he said. The arrival of Aaron had to please Bears officials and the fans. Within a week of Aaron being inserted into the lineup, the Bears won five of seven games, were 22-22 and beginning to grain ground on St. Cloud and Superior. After five home games, Aaron was batting .354. The team had made other changes that would make them more competitive, but early on Aaron was living up to his billing as one of the hottest young hitting prospects in pro baseball. |

Same as most of the others here. Wife was against me packing, even was upset I got a handgun ! Until the 'possum incident' ( http://www.combatcarry.com/vbulletin...ad.php?t=14764 ).. then she wanted to learn all about it. There have been several other times when I know she was happy I had my .40 with us, and others when I didn't that she wished I did. She says she still hates handguns, but she's accepted I have one and carry it.
Give her some time, and point it out to her when it might be nice to have a gun : Parking lots at night with a gang of kids around your car, or taking an evening walk and being followed by some thug, breaking down on the side of the road, at a rest stop in the middle of nowhere, or confronting someone on your property. Now she doesn't even seem to notice when she brushes up against me and can feel it. Just keep it cool, point out some of the situations as they occur, try not to be accussing, and I am sure she'll come around.

So too is the Taj Mahal. In a full moon night, if you sit silently by the side of it, not being bothered about the history of the Taj Mahal and who created it and why.those are all nonsense, irrelevant facts, they don't matter: Shah Jahan and his beloved, and the memory of his beloved.he created it. Don't be bothered by the guides; tip them before they start torturing you, and get rid of them!
Shah Jahan has nothing to do with the Taj Mahal, in fact. Yes, he created it, he created it as a memorial to his wife, but he is not the essential source of it. The essential source is in the Sufi way of life, it is in Sufism. Basically it was created by Sufi masters; Shah Jahan was just instrumental. And the Sufi masters have created something of immense value. If you silently sit in the full moon night just looking at the Taj Mahal, sometimes with open eyes and sometimes with closed eyes, slowly, slowly you will feel something that you have never felt before. Sufis called it zikr, remembrance of God.
The beauty of the Taj Mahal will remind you of those realms from where all beauty, all benediction comes. You will become attuned with the Sufi way of remembering God: beauty is God.
Don't try to repress this urge. Create in any way that suits you. My message has to be delivered in all possible mediums.
In the new commune we are going to have many guilds. The sculptors will have their own world and they will sculpt, and the poets will have their own guild, and the painters and the carpenters and the dancers and the musicians and the novelists and the filmmakers. All possible media have to be used to approach as many people as possible, to approach as many different kinds of people as possible - because one who can understand poetry may not understand prose, and one who can understand music may not understand painting, and one who can understand sculpture may not understand poetry.
And the message is so important because the whole future of humanity depends on it. Nowhere else is the experiment being done on such a great scale. There is no other community on the whole earth which is working in such a way as this commune. This is the greatest therapeutic center in the world now.
We need a great therapeutic center so that the modern mind can be helped to vomit, cathart all that has gone wrong in it. And then we will need creators. And once somebody has catharted and thrown out all that is wrong, a great urge will arise in him to create.
Once pathology disappears, everybody becomes a creator. Let it be understood as deeply as possible: only ill people are destructive. The people who are healthy are creative. Creativity is a kind of fragrance of real health. When a person is really healthy and whole, creativity comes naturally to him, the urge to create arises.
This urge is being felt by many just like you. Do something for it - and whatsoever you do is good. Follow your own urge, don't distort it. In the beginning it will remain vague, but if you follow it, soon it will become clear, more and more clear. And if you start doing something about it, things will become very clear very soon.

We have vacationed in many mountain locations but have never seen the combination of easy access from an international airport, close proximity to an amazing aray of all season activities, incredible value and unbelivablele natural beauity. Set in a picturesque mountain valley surrounded by mountain peaks rising nearly a mile high above the valley floor yet close to so much. Within twenty miniuets from the door there are three ski resorts, the lake, world class snowmobiling, cross country skiing, golf, hot air ballooning, rock climbing (both indoors and out), indoor surfing and sky diving, an olympic ice venue for skating, theaters, bowling, indoor minature golf, mall, numerous restaurants and stores without the high prices associated with many resort areas. All this is surrounded by our national forests that provide unlimited hiking/biking on hundreds of miles of trails. And then there is the snow. Wow, there is nothing like the ultra light powder of Utah. As an added bonus the valley floor is at an elevation of about 5,000 ft. Acclimating to and even sleeping at that elevation is much easier than the typical 7,000 to 9,000 ft elavations of most accommodations in the Rockies and Sierras. THE MOST AMAZING THING IS THAT INSPITE OF ALL THIS IT IS STILL NOT CROWDED. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES THAT YOU CAN STILL FIND UNTRACKED SNOW A WEEK AFTER THE LAST STORM AND SKI/RIDE ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND WITHOUT LIFT LINES.
You can sit for hours taking in the view from the fire pit, on the deck or from inside. What an expierence sitting in the hot tub at dawn. It's amazing! Every detail was designed into the home to make it the perfect getaway for our large family. We love to cook. The kitchen will accomodate 6 to 7 cooks with room to spare. Four spacious KING suites so no one misses out on a great room. The home theater rocks! Theater seating for 8 and there's still room to dance to a concert. We also like having an in-house massage in the theater. It's very quite and you can turn on the spa music. Just say AHHHH! The whole house humidifer will make your stay much more comfortable. If you've ever dealt with painful sinuses after a few days in the mountains you know what that's like. A clubhouse, pool, tennis/basketball court within easy walking distance from the house. You don't have to ski to enjoy being there. It's our retreat and we feel the valley is a magical place. Exciting adventure or a relaxing retreat, it's all here.
Three families united together for seven wonderful days at Powder Paradise! We were very familiar Eden, and had enjoyed the Wolf Creek surroundings the year before. We selected our spot for the week very carefully. This house had all the amenities. All the master suites made it so comfortable. The kitchen is fantastic to cook in. The theater room put the experience over the top! There are such amazing views from every room in the house that we enjoyed. We actually arrived on super Bowl Sunday. Our husbands were not happy about the travel on Super Bowl Sunday until we experienced one of the best viewing experiences ever! Loads of fun on the big screen. We lucked out with great snow and a wild ride daily at Snowbasin! We would do it again in a heart beat.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.

Recipe for grilled maple-chipotle pineapple rings
When I was in grade school, I commandeered a shelf in our refrigerator for a science experiment involving pineapple and... something else, I can't remember what. The something made the pineapple bubble and ooze up over its dish, and as I recall, that meant the experiment was a success. My mother forgave me, eventually, after making me scrub the inside of the fridge, and for many years I stayed clear of pineapple, but now I love it. (Do you know how to choose a ripe pineapple? First, smell. It should have a strong pineapple aroma. Second, gently tug on one of the inner leaves. It should pull out easily. Third, the fruit should feel heavy for its size.) We're grilling pretty much everything these days, so I glazed ripe pineapple rings with a simple maple-chipotle sauce, and tossed them on my panini press. Sweetness made even sweeter. A scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt would be the perfect topper.

OKW questions
we are staying at OWK our first time, my mom is 68 and not a fan of stairs and we will also have a 15 month old. What building should we request that is near to bus stop and has elevator? Is first floor rooms bad, I have read there are musty smelling. we are going in february and have a 2br. any advice is greatly appreciated!
We've stayed in a 2 bedroom, on cash and wanted close to the HH.... Didn't happen.... Those buildings are about reserved for DVC members and for non-DVC guests hard to get...
Elevators at other buildings are non existent ... We were in building 54, no elevator, 3rd floor and with an infant, stroller and all the stuff required... Total pain , let alone getting all our stuff up to the room, luggage and groceries! Though the villa was wonderful, all the logistics of the resort made our stay not too comfortable and we will not return... taking a bus to refill a mug, a bus to the main pool or to get food is not convenient.... This resort maybe great for others but for us, it just wasn't convenient for our stay, and we've done over 45 trips to WDW... We'll go back to our tried and true resorts from now on...good luck on your trip! |
There are only three buildings with elevators at OKW, 60, 61 & 62.
There are four different bus stops around the resort so it is easy to get a unit near one of the stops. I've never noticed a problem with the condition or smell of ground floor as compared to upper floors. I'd suggest you simply request "ground floor room near bus stop" for your stay. |
Unless you're renting a car, I'd stay somewhere else, especially with a 68-year-old and a 15-month-old in your group. You're potentially looking at a lot of walking and a lot of bus nonsense..

Quite possibly the dumbest question you guys may ever encounter-- is this poison ivy, a ground cover, or some type of weed? It's all over one of my flowerbeds (mixed in with hostas and epimedium) and covers most of the bed. It has three leaves, which makes me wary, but I couldn't identify poison ivy/oak/sumac if my life depended on it. It does not seems to be very ivy-like, though. Part shade, Zone 5, Indianapolis Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Aegopodium podogaria, goutweed, I believe. |
It looks like Bishop's Weed. |
I'm reading that it can be used ornamentally. So...would it be an appropriate ground cover, then? I'm also reading that it's horribly invasive. Will it overtake the hostas and epimedium? Also, is this guy another type of Bishop's Weed? Thanks! |
Do whatever you can to get rid of it. Seriously. |
It's an awful plant. It is one that I would absolutely never plant in my garden. It is almost impossible to eradicate and once established , the roots go all over. |

if you have PI in your yard ... that does not mean there couldnt be some in there ... when dealing with a large plot of greenery ... there can be things mixed in ... so do be careful ... as to killing hosta... i doubt it ... it would be more of an issue of out-competing the hosta for water ... and providing a safe haven for slugs ... if you want a groundcover.. a good one.. not this one... plus hosta... just keep the groundcover clear in the immediate area of the H ... ken |

Another vote to get rid of the goutweed, it will infiltrate and ruin your good plants! |
Looks like I have another big weekend project! Everything in this area that isn't a hosta or epimedium is pretty much Aegopodium podagraria :( |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Aug 20, 14 at 23:31
I would pull the good plants out and smother that area, much less work. If you like the idea but need more specifics, happy to elaborate. |
I would love for you to elaborate. Though, I'm fearful I'll just kill everything when I remove them! |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 14 at 9:25
Happy to! Hostas are tough, gardeners move them around regularly. I've not had Epimediums before, so somebody jump in if I say something that doesn't jive with those. A bit of reading about them says gardeners often divide them, so assuming they're like most perennials that gardeners move at will with good results. Does your yard have other 'flower bed' areas? If so, is the light exposure similar to this one? Is there space for plants to take up temporary residence there? If yes to the above questions, I would dig up as many of the Hostas and Epis as you feel like saving, move them to the other bed area. Shake off the roots when you get them up, to make sure you're only moving Hosta/Epi material, and not any of the goutweed roots. I would replant each one as it was dug, to reduce the time each one spends out of the ground (and working this way would allow you to take a break, for a minute or a night, or a week, whatever your schedule requires.) It would be best not to do this in the middle of a really hot day. Then rake the area where plants were removed as flat as possible, use weed trimmer to help get the weed foliage down/help flatten the area. Cover the shredded weeds and the ground with cardboard, overlapping the edges well, cover that with enough mulch to hide it. By spring, the bed should be ready for the good plants to be re-planted. After uncovering a small test area (if necessary, the cardboard may be decomposed by then,) where the goutweed was known to be thick to make sure it's dead, you can move the Hostas/Epis back, or start fresh with something else. If there is nowhere to move them, you could put the plants you want to save in pots for winter. Or possibly dig out half of the bed, move the good plants to that side and try smothering the other half. Furniture and appliance stores are great sources for soliciting large pieces of cardboard, just remove any tape or stapes before using them for gardening. Whatever is growing on a spot where I want to have a 'flower bed,' whether weeds or grasses, smothering is how I start all new beds. I'd rather wait than dig, and removing the top soil is counter-productive to having 'good dirt.' Smothering the weeds (and often grass) returns the organic material of the weeds/grass to the soil. I can elaborate more, if needed, in whichever direction you'd want/need to go. |

SA to get two deputy presidents?
Comment on this storyJohannesburg -
The presidency on Sunday said it was unaware of reported talks about the country getting two deputy presidents after this year's elections.
"I'm not aware of any such discussion," presidency spokesman Mac Maharaj said.
The Sunday Times reported that discussions had been held within the African National Congress to promote the idea of a second deputy president. ANC deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa and ANC national chairwoman Baleka Mbete had been proposed as the two candidates.
Mbete told the newspaper that she had accepted nomination to become a Member of Parliament, but said it was up to the ANC to decide where to deploy her.
"It is not a matter up to me. Branches of the ANC decide on people going to Parliament. What happens after that we don't know."
Ramaphosa told the Sunday Times he would not comment on his political future.
"The ANC decides. No single individual in the ANC decides what they want to do."
As it stands, the Constitution only allows for one deputy president. Constitutional law expert Prof George Devenish said a constitutional amendment would have to be approved to change this provision.
ANC spokesmen Jackson Mthembu and Ishmael Mnisi were not immediately available to comment. - Sapa

Highlight Reel-Fantasy Eastern 1/12/2013
So we are back from our first Disney cruise.
Generally a wonderful week. Our 7 year old is still walking on a cloud. Cabin-7574, a 5C starboard side, the door to which opens directly into the midship elevator/stairway landing. This was not nearly the problem you might suspect-in fact we loved being so close. There was NO additional noise (a surprise to us). We would book it again in a heartbeat. More on that later. Dining-Main dining, rotation was RAERAER. Table for 8-our table mates were great, a couple with a son our daughter's age (more on THAT later as well) and one set of grandparents traveling with them. Our table mates asked to change locations after the first night at Royal Court,as our table was directly adjacent to a bussing station. We followed them but in the process had to change servers, and lost Tiziana as our main server. We ended up with Isaac from Kenya and Silvana as assistant, who was ill some nights and replaced by Yoann. They were fine-we will request Tiziana next cruise. She left that great an impression on us after one night. We went to Palo on our middle Royal Court night, which turned out great. We had a 6 pm reservation which aligned with sail away from St. Thomas, and sat on the outside deck port side at Meridian enjoying a cocktail beforehand. Milos was exceptional if a little overeager, but he knew the menu inside and out. I had the grilled Tuna-by far my best entree of the week. Service all over the ship was terrific. Food was consistently very good everywhere we went. Our 7 year old is an allergy child and we were always met with a helpful attitude when asking about ingredients. Levi (chef at Cabanas) walked us thru the entire buffet and everything at Flo's as well. Visited the Rainforest a couple of times on a day pass-loved it. Characters are everywhere. This is huge if your kid is into it-ours certainly was. She also couldn't get enough of the Oceaneer's Club and Aquaduck. Shows were great. We went most nights with our table mates after dinner and the two 7 year olds sat together. Puppy love at sea. Castaway Cay is spectacular. Our weather that day was not. It finally cleared in the afternoon and with our daughter happily in the club we hightailed it out to the Serenity Bay Beach Bar for 2 for 1 Konk Coolers-best fruity drink of the week. Things we didn't love so much- The main pool deck was MAYHEM. 1360 kids on the ship plus small shallow pools equals disaster. Way too loud and over stimulating. I felt like we had to watch our daughter 100% of the time, and I couldn't stand the constant multimedia barrage. Pirate Night-just OK. A huge time gap between the start of the party and the end/fireworks. Not our cup of tea. I was a little surprised by the jittery ride. I expected it to be at least as smooth as RCCL Voyager class ships and it wasn't. Some of it could have been wind, but we have sailed in similar sea conditions and felt less movement on smaller ships. We were really rocking and rolling on the way into PC from Castaway. I was also surprised by how rude some people were on debarkation morning. We left CC nearly two hours late due to a tragic event on the island (a guest fatality from a heart attack). As a result we had to make time back to PC and missed our opportunity to pull in ahead of Carnival Dream-we didn't tie up until after 6am. That's nearly 2 hours late to port, and we were still walking off the ship at 8:20. We managed to get our bags out to the curb, send me to Budget on the shuttle bus to pick up the car, drive back to port to load up, drive to WDW, check in at WL, take the launch to MK, and get thru the gate before 11am. The ship is usually cleared around 7:45 am-nobody was delayed more than 30-40 minutes, but some people were just belligerent towards cast members. When you travel, you need to be flexible and tolerant-these people were neither. The thing that sticks with me about the week overall is the attention to detail across the whole experience. There really is a Disney difference-it's not always 100% tangible, but it is always there. Examples-you are never under the watchful eye of the towel police. We walked off the ship at CC and were handed 5 towels for the 3 of us. The trash cans on CC have water dispensers built into the tops of them-no walking to the bar and getting a dirty look because all you want is a cup of water. So many small things are just better executed on a Disney cruise. So-we ended up booking the same week in 2014 while on board. We moved back a few cabins to 7582, but honestly would have taken 7574 again. I don't know if this will become an annual thing for us, but we feel like next time we will have enough familiarity and experience with the ship to improve on our experience.

European Environment Agency's home page
What's new
As 2014 comes to a close, the European Environment Agency (EEA) looks back at some of the interesting findings from its work throughout the year.
More than 125 million Europeans could be exposed to levels of road traffic noise above legal guidelines. This causes a range of health problems, according to a new assessment from the European Environment Agency (EEA).
Preventing waste is a top priority of waste policy in the European Union with potential economic and environmental benefits. A new European Environment Agency (EEA) report reviews the state of play in the EU Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Five stunning images of Europe's environment have been selected as winners of a photography competition organised by the European Environment Agency (EEA).
European countries have increased renewable energy's share of energy consumption in recent years, in part thanks to support mechanisms for the renewables sector. A new report finds that many energy support policies could be better focused to lead the EU more effectively to decarbonise the energy sector.
Disasters such as floods and storms have led to several high-profile disruptions of Europe's transport network over the last few years. As the climate changes, the transport system urgently needs to adapt, according to a new assessment.
The transport sector is still generating excessive greenhouse gas emissions and harmful levels of air pollution and noise, according to the latest edition of the European Environment Agency's annual report on environment and transport.
Not just dirt: the importance of soil

I really like this bronzer. It compliments my NC30-NC35 skin very nicely. It goes on smoothly and blends well. I really like that it doesn't have that fake orange tan look and it doesn't oxidize through out the day. I get the chocolate smell during application but it doesn't linger which is good. It has a matte finish so it is perfect for contouring.
I stayed away from bronzers for a long time because I didn't really see the point and I was scared of trying to find a good one because at no point do I want to walk around orange. That's not an issue with this bronzer. I don't contour, I just use it to add some dimension to my face after my foundation because even my light coverage bases really seem to take any variation in colour out of my skin. This is perfect for just adding a hint of warmth. I use a large fluffy face brush and brush it on my cheekbones, temple, nose, chin and a touch on my neck to match everything up.

I love this product. In fact I got a sample version and a week later bought the full size so now I have a travel and a full size. It is matte, blends BEAUTIFULLY, looks great on my fair skin. As a bonus, it smells like cocoa powder. I love it. This is in my top 3 bronzers of all time and I can't seem to stop using it.
Worth every penny!

I love this product! I was searching for a matte bronzer that I could use during winter on my pale skin. Chocolate Soleil has a very natural tone to it, and even though it's really pigmented, it doesn't make me look patchy. With a right brush, it's very buildable and provides stunning results! Not to mention that it smells so yummy! On the downside, it's a bit pricey in Europe, around 35, but I gave it 5 lippies anyway, because it's worth it!
My favourite makeup product! Smells so yummy! I was searching for a good bronzer, with no orange tone, and I had to decide between Hoola by Benefit and Too Faced Chocolate Soleil (after reading reviews). I went to Sephora and compared them and fall in love with Chocolate Soleil! The colour is warm and rich, it smells amazing and the package is very nice, on the mirror being written "Why be pretty when you can be gorgeous?" How cute is this? Wonderful way to start my day!
I wrote a review on my blog:

Thank goodness for this bronzer. I seriously searched far and wide for this product. I literally went to 4 different Sephora's until I finally found this gem. I heard that Too Faced was redoing their products/packaging and that was why I couldn't find this ANYWHERE - but I think the fact that this is so amazing had something to do with it. ;) I greedily snatched one of the last Chocolate bronzers and giddily ran to the register. I felt as though I was holding Chocolate Gold, and it turns out that I was. This is one of the most amazing bronzers I have ever used in my entire life. Considering this is made with real cocoa powder and a Physician's Formula bronzed is almost 20$ after tax, this is actually an amazing deal and well worth the extra money. The smell of this is absolutely divine, I could smell this all day long. I really don't even like chocolate that much and I don't know how anyone could dislike this smell. It smells so.wonderful when I am.putting it on, its even better then real chocolate. The Color of this is a perfect shade of brown - no orange or reddish undertones. This stuff is SUPER DUPER pigmented. It's absolutely gorgeous on my NC35 skintone, but I have to use it with a light hand - and that's saying something because I'm soooo tan. I am actually happy this is so dark because it's really hard finding a natural looking shade of brown on my tan skin. It's natural yet dramatic. I think it may be because of the brush I'm using, it's my Real Techniques Contouring Brush - it picks up a lot of powder and it's a super dense brush. When I use a fluffy brush I like the effect much better, much more natural and much lighter but you can layer it easier. I put some on my best friend who had no make up on at all and she's probably only an NC20 and it looked absolutely gorgeous! Her skin looked so natural and it actually improved her complexion and warmed up her face. I love this even more than my Hoola bronzer. :) I will still use Hoola especially on days I want something a little more natural, but I adore this stuff and can't wait to use it forever!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this bronzer you can use for natural look or just contouring your cheekbones. Depends what brush you use. And the smell oh-la-la. This is an amazing holy grail product. And buy it again ? HE'LL YEA! ;)
I was on the hunt for a matte bronzer that didnt look muddy or too orange on me. But again after again, I kept getting shimmery bronzers by accident or they would just look way to orange and unnatural on me. But, one day as I was walking through my local Sephora, I discovered my Holy Grail. This bronzer fit everything that I needed! It was matte, it wasnt orange, and looked natural. Plus this bronzer smelled heavenly with a chocolate scent. It is around $32 in the US which may seem pricey for most people. But I've used this bronzer daily since December 2011 and i STILL havent hit pan yet. This bronzer is so pigmented that you only need the tiniest amount in order to achieve the bronzed look. I will repurchase whenever I finally run out but probably wont need to for a long, long time. Love this stuff!!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Not sure how much I love the colour of this bronzer, but I continue to use it because it smells so incredibly delicious and adds a nice matte finish to my face. You really don't need to use much of it, so I could see it lasting a long time. Another plus is it didn't break me out!

I've been using this product for close to a year now & I have no complaints. I don't absolutely LOVE the color. But I absolutely LOVE the smell. Because it's infused with real cocoa powder, it actually smells like chocolate! I don't have any problems with the product breaking me out. The product itself has lasted almost a year, with probably 1/4 left, but I feel it doesn't last on my face. Overall, not too shabby.

Wow. This is so simple and easy to make. The sauce is amazing. I'm not a fan of baked or skillet pork chops but they were yummy. I'm going to buy a cast iron skillet now.
Super easy, super tasty, and pretty to look at. The vinaigrette really makes the dish, and the flavors/textures just meld together so nicely! Used kabocha squash. Thanks to whoever recommended browning the pork in the pan and finishing in the oven, it was so moist and juicy that way! (PS I subbed flat leaf parsley for cilantro because I'm one of those people who can't stand the stuff.)
Made using Kabocha squash. Take care while roasting the squash, as it scorches if not tossed. Mixed about a tablespoon of pan drippings with the dressing. Nice autumnal dinner. Will make again.
I can't wait to make this, but can't imagine why anyone would purchase pumpkin seeds to roast when the squash yields perfectly good seeds of its own. Waste not, want not. :)
I would make this again. The sauce was delicious! I tried it with roast pumpkin to be different, but I think butternut squash would be better.
Incredible recipe! I read the reviews and did the chops in my cast iron: browned then threw them in the oven. Cubed up butternut squash...oh that vinaigrette! So delicious. I'll be making this again for sure.
This was an unusual mixture of ingredients with exceptional flavor. I couldn't believe the sweetness of the squash without adding sugar. A definite repeat.

The BP Exploration & Production Inc.-operated Bright exploration well in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico did not show hydrocarbons after reaching the targeted Upper and Middle Miocene objectives, according to Noble Energy Inc., an equal partner in the well.
The well, drilled to a total depth of 13,500 ft in 5,600 ft of water on Atwater Valley Block 362, has been plugged and abandoned.
Noble says full well assessment and the integration of drilling results into the company's geologic models is ongoing to determine forward exploration plans on its Atwater Valley acreage, which was acquired from BP in June (OGJ Online, June 16, 2014).
"While we are disappointed with the results of the Bright well, we remain extremely encouraged by the recent success of our exploration program in the gulf," said Susan Cunningham, Noble senior vice-president, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and frontier. "We look forward to results at our Katmai and Dantzler exploration wells later this month," she said.
Noble made an oil discovery on Dantzler in late 2013 (OGJ Online, Dec. 4, 2013). The company operates that well with 45% interest.
