One of our oils like Grape Seed or Peanut will be perfect and will add a touch of extraordinary flavor to your dish. For a marinade or salad dressing like Spicy Asian Dressing, however, you would want to use a low smoke point Loriva Oil, such as our Extra Virgin Sesame or Walnut Oils, that typically have more delicate flavors to enhance the fresh taste of your dish.

Still out at Golf Club on Gird. Thanks for posting info.
Strange outage, lights dim, not enough power for anything else
I guess ill just go to sleep then.. -_-
Whenever you experience low voltage, lights are dim, unplug all sensitive equiptment such as computers, televion sets, and any appliance that use a electric motor. may save you a lot of repair money. Dan Katich Flowerwood ln.
Its known as a "brown out". When you see it, RUN to your breaker box and turn off the main breaker. Fastest and best thing you can do to save anything electrical/electronic in your house.
There have been an awful lot of power outages and brownouts lately. There was a massive one in Temecula a few weeks ago. I wonder if it has anything to do with San Onofre being off line? If so what will happen when it gets really hot this summer?

Years active | 1934-1986 |
Tom Steele (12 June 1909 – 30 October 1990) was a stunt man and actor, best remembered for appearing in serials, especially those produced by Republic Pictures, in both capacities.
Born Thomas B. Skeoch in Scotland, Steele came to America with his family at an early age, settling in Northern California. A very skilled horseman, he played polo competitively as a young man and also worked for a time in a steel mill, which was the source of his professional name Tom "Steele."
At the start of the Depression he relocated to Hollywood to become an actor, and made his film debut in 1930 in the Western The Lone Star Ranger. But soon Steele, relying on his skill as a horseman (he had played polo professionally with the San Mateo Redcoats), changed to stunts for better money and regular work. Despite this he can be seen playing many bit parts throughout his career, mostly as "heavies" or minor henchmen, whose main role was to be part of a fight scene. His visible but non-speaking role as a prison guard in 1947's Brute Force is a good example of this.
During the 1930s Steele worked frequently at Universal with a group of fellow stuntmen who called themselves "The Cousins." None were related, but they all pitched in to help each other out with their gags and refine the art of stuntwork. Steele, in fact, is credited with the idea of wearing stunt pads, which he first fashioned from old football padding. The Cousins also included Dave Sharpe, Carey Loftin, Eddie Parker, Ken Terrell, Bud Wolfe, Louis Tomei and Loren Riebe. Steele and Sharpe were still working together well into the 1970s on such films as Blazing Saddles (Steele is the townsman who falls out of his chair at the sight of Sheriff Bart, and Sharpe is the man flipped and dragged through the mud by the villains).
Steele took over from Sharpe as stunt coordinator at Republic when Sharpe left to serve in World War II in 1942 (Steele himself was declared 4-F due to an old injury incurred at the steel mill). Steele was the only stuntman ever to be signed to a term contract (June 1943-June 1944) by Republic. He doubled for such serial leading men as Rod Cameron (who started as a stuntman himself), Richard Bailey (who rather resembled Steele), Clayton Moore, and football star Sammy Baugh. In the 1940s and early 1950s, many actors at Republic were selected due to their resembalance to Steele rather than the opposite.
In features, Steele was Wild Bill Elliott's regular double. His most notable role at Republic was as the title hero in the 1943 serial The Masked Marvel, for which he ironically received no billing whatsoever (the character was supposed to be one of four leading men—none of whom were Steele). As the Masked Marvel Steele's voice, which was a rather light, high tenor not unlike Henry Fonda's, was dubbed by the more heroic-sounding radio actor Gayne Whitman.
Steele also worked extensively outside of Republic, appearing in such classic feature films as Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), Santa Fe Trail ('40), in which he doubled Raymond Massey, The Big Sleep, in which he doubled John Ridgeley, and The Thing (From Another World) ('51) in which he stood in for James Arness as the title creature in the scenes involving fire and a dog attack, and even Citizen Kane(!), in which Steele can be glimpsed as an aggressive reporter jumping onto the running board of Kane's car as it pulls away.
In the 1960s and 70s he remained active as a stuntman but took on more acting bits, including a role as a truck driver in 1966's Harper and a bit as a security guard in the 1971 Bond epic Diamonds Are Forever. He also drove one of the vehicles used in the classic car chase from Bullitt (1968) and did driving stunts for Disney's late-1960s "Love Bug" films. His last film before retiring was 1986's Tough Guys, in which he played an elderly man caught up in a bank robbery.
In his last years, Steele was a frequent participant at Western and Serial film festivals around the country.

Voices of September 11th is a non-profit, non-partisan organization led by Founding Director, Mary Fetchet, a clinical social worker, who lost her son Brad in the attacks. VOICES was established in October 2001 by Ms. Fetchet and Beverly Eckert, an insurance specialist and 9/11 widow, to create an information clearinghouse for those affected by the attacks through the use of a website, electronic newsletter, direct mailings and media outreach.
In 2003 the group secured 501 (c)3 non-profit status and opened its headquarters in New Canaan, Connecticut. It soon became clear that 9/11 families required more than information and VOICES has evolved to meet families' needs by expanding programs, increasing staff, and developing internship and volunteer opportunities.
VOICES moved to its third office in New Canaan, CT and, in August 2009, opened a satellite office in New Brunswick, New Jersey to provide services to the nearly seven hundred 9/11 families and thousands of rescue workers and survivors living in New Jersey. VOICES continues to connect 9/11 family members, rescue workers and survivors throughout the United States to each other and to assist those in need of support services. Our membership has grown to over 16,000 members across the United States and around the world.
VOICES' dedicated staff of professionals is committed to providing continuity of care to promote resiliency and address the long-term issues of the people we serve. Staff social workers provide a wide range of services including assessments, case management, community based-referrals, support groups, and resiliency programs. In addition, they provide information on resources, scholarships and 9/11 related events. VOICES has hosted an annual forum and commemorative luncheon for 9/11 families, rescue workers and survivors in New York City. The two-day event, held September 10-11, draws hundreds of participants and provides a range of information and support for all those affected by the September 11th attacks.
Through the work of Mary Fetchet, VOICES has independently or in participation with other leading 9/11 organizations been involved in major issues surrounding 9/11 including: respectful notification and handling of unidentified remains, personal effects, establishment of memorials, mental health issues, and national and local preparedness.
VOICES continues to support implementation of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations for government reform. Ms. Fetchet has personally testified on 9/11 issues before the 9/11 Commission in 2003, the U.S. Senate's Governmental Affairs Committee in 2004, and the House Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations in 2006, among other agencies and organizations.
Ms. Fetchet has received numerous awards on behalf of VOICES
In August 2006, VOICES launched the 9/11 Living Memorial Project to document the nearly 3,000 lives lost and first hand accounts of resuce workers and survivors. The project incorporated information about memorials, memorial foundations and events that VOICES began collecting in 2002. Our professional staff has met one-on-one with over 800 families and provided individual support through the healing process of creating meaningful tributes that commemorate the lives of their loved ones and documents their personal stories.
Since the 9/11 Living Memorial Project was launched, VOICES has conducted several hundred worksops throughout the tri-state area, Washington, DC, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts.
In November, 2009 Frank and Mary Fetchet traveled to London to meet with the 9/11 families living in the UK.
The 9/11 Living Memorial project was originally inspired by a concept concieved by September's Mission and its founder, Monica Iken.
In September 2004, VOICES used its annual information forum and luncheon to launch its Building Bridges Project, to foster cultural understanding and support for all those affected by terrorism internationally through exhibitions, exchange, competitions and good-will gestures such as the Send-A-Bear Program.
The program, started in 2005, provides teddy bears and messages of support to victims of terrorism worldwide. The inaugural program for the victim's families of the Beslan, Russia school siege sent 350 teddy bears to Russia with bilingual good wishes. The effort was praised by Russia's ambassador to the United States.
In 2006, VOICES established a partnership with the United Nations Committee of New Canaan, CT and Afghan officials to coordinate cultural exchanges between 500 girls from schools in Afghanistan and high school students in the United States. The partnership resulted in a photo exhibition exchange in April 2006 between Afghan and US students co-sponsored by VOICES called, "Roshan: Light and Promise" for which each group took photos of their homes and lives.

He's heating up.
What could up the nostalgia of NBA Jam more than playing a round of F-ck, Marry, Kill on the games' most famous players.
Ever wondered what would have happened if Chuck Norris was in the old school 8-bit version of NBA Jam.
We are currently living in a cultural shift.
Some people say that Bill Clinton's speech during the DNC last week was a real slam dunk for the Democrats.
Blake Griffin's gravity-defying dunks seem almost video game-ish.
Not long ago, we presented a series of instructional videos that took games that were already fun with pals and made them ever better, by adding booze into the mix.
Watch in wonderment as the developers of NBA Jam wow the pants off the NBA's executives with their smash-hit past successes and extreme advancements in video game technology.

Solid Jersey-Knit Cases
Great, but...
These jersey knit sheets have a nice enough quality "feel". But ...the fit is not quite generous enough, They fit all 4 corners, but mattress is exposed on sides, top & bottom. I use 3 standard pillows on my king size bed, wish I could purchase cases individually instead of in pairs. Also cases need to be longer to not expose end of pillow. If only they could be a bit more generous I would be happy!!

Confused on this fan fave
I purchased these sheets about 3 months ago. The reviews are so great, but after multiple washes, they are still scratchy at best. It's almost as if I've received a completely different product than what many other reviewers have described. So disappointing.

If you keep your bedroom very cold, jersey sheets will feel cool, too, but just until you warm them up. In normal temperatures, they will not feel cool. They are similar to flannel sheets in that they drape closely around your body. (They are the opposite of "crisp.") They hold warmth, but not as much as good European flannel, since they are thinner and more loosely woven. They can be comfortable in all seasons but they are neither as cool as percale or sateen nor as warm as flannel.We use ours alone on hot summer nights and add a comforter or thin quilt if it's chillier.
Think about how differently a flannel shirt, a jersey tee, and a crisp cotton button-down feel against your skin. It might help you decide what you'd most prefer for sleeping.

You might think that jersey sheets might be sticky in humid weather, but the opposite appears to be the case. I love the way these stay in place. They are deep enough to fit even a thick mattress, and seem to absorb moisture.I have just ordered my second set after using the first for about three years. These are my "go to" sheets winter and summer.

I recently bought the del mar flannel sheets and love them, but our quilt is pattern that does not match and did not want to buy another solid color quilt. Would i be able to fit the quilt in this comforter cover and if i bought white - would the pattern be seen through? thank you

depends on the depth of the quilt...measure it and call GH cust service2 years, 8 months ago
That depends on what your quilt measures. The double/queen comforter cover measures 86" x 86". This is purposely smaller than our comforters in order to add to the loft when the comforter is inserted.We would be happy to send a free swatch so you can see if the quilt will show through.

How can I help my kids deal with their dad's illness? Some say to keep things as normal as you can, but I feel nothing is "normal" anymore.
Christina Bach, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine responds:
I know it is really hard to maintain normalcy after a cancer diagnosis---especially with your children. I talk to my patients a great deal about recognizing and understanding the concept of a "new normal--" i.e. what life WITH cancer (and treatment and uncertainty and anxiety) may look like.
Its important to help your children express their emotions about what is happening with their dad; but also to allow them to continue to be children.
You can get great resources about kids coping with cancer:
It also may be very helpful to connect with other patients with kids who are going through similar issues.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire transcript from the Focus on Pancreatic Cancer Webchat.

She was decommissioned in 1974 and turned into a museum in 1982. On the right is the famous supersonic jet, the Lockheed A-12 built by the CIA (1962-68). Only 13 were made and only 7 remain.

Video & Movie / Wekfest Car Show shot on C100 and 5D Mk 3
« on: June 03, 2013, 02:09:33 AM »
I haven't posted in awhile but I thought I would post up my most recent work. This event was shot with my 5D on my jib with a motorized head while all of the pans and dolly shots were shot with the C100. Some people would say why not put the C100 on the jib but it will slow down my workflow and just cause alot of setup and breakdown time and plus I can also shoot 60fps on the MK3 which I cannot on the C100. The footage cuts very well together after sharpening the MK3 footage. Check it out!!

Can someone explain the logic to me why gift cards is like asking for cash? The way I see it is that if you register for tangible goods then someone is spending X amount on items. YOU know how much they are spending on said items because you registered for it (obviously this doens't apply if they buy off the registery). Or they can spend X amount on a gift card to a store. Gift card can't be converted to cash and maybe you have everything you need at this moment, but in 2 years you might buy a house and need more stuff. If I got a gift card at BBB or Crate & Barrel, then obviously it will be used for some sort of home purchase. I'm just asking because I don't see the difference personally and was hoping for someone to explain it to me. PS - many registries have an option for gift cards on it. So you do a traditional registry at say BBB and then you check a box that you would also like gift cards. Then people can decide that if they don't like your registry to just get you a gift card at said store.

Slightly sweet sugar (disaccharide) composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose, linked together. Lactose-intolerant adults, and more rarely infants, cannot digest lactose because they lack the enzyme (lactase) that splits it into simpler sugars and suffer diarrhea and bloating when they eat foods containing it. Lactose, which makes up 2–8percnt of the milk of mammals, is the only common sugar of animal origin. Commercial lactose is obtained from whey, a liquid by-product of cheese. It is used in foods, in pharmaceuticals, and in nutrient broths used to produce penicillin, yeast, and riboflavin, and other products.
Learn more about lactose with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Lactose (also referred to as milk sugar) is a sugar which is found most notably in milk. Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk (by weight). The name comes from the Latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars. Its systematic name is β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1↔4)β-D-glucopyranose.
Lactose has a solubility of 1 in 4.63 measured %w/v. This translates to 0.216 g of lactose dissolving readily in 1 mL of water.
The solubility of lactose in water is 18.9049 g at 25°C, 25.1484 g at 40°C and 37.2149 g at 60°C per 100 g solution. Its solubility in ethanol is 0.0111 g at 40°C and 0.0270 g at 60°C per 100 g solution.
Since lactose occurs mostly in milk, in most mammals the production of lactase gradually decreases with maturity.
Many people with ancestry in Europe, the Middle East, India, or parts of East Africa, maintain normal lactase production into adulthood. In many of these cultures, mammals such as cattle, goats, and sheep are milked for food. Hence, it was in these regions that genes for lifelong lactase production first evolved. The genes of lactose tolerance have evolved independently in various ethnic groups.

Edna Cresswell is pictured at her home in Acton with the nail that she found in a tin of Tesco baked beans and sausages.
By Emma Brennan
Thursday, February 28, 2013
IN RECENT weeks supermarkets have had to explain how horse meat found its way into beef products – but one woman claims she has found something even more unappetising.
Edna Cresswell had emptied the contents of a Tesco Everyday Value can of beans and sausages into a saucepan, heated it up and had started eating it when she found a 1.5inch nail.
The 77-year-old bought the beans from the Sudbury branch of Tesco, in Springlands Way.
"I was chewing away and bit on something hard which nearly broke my tooth," she said. "I couldn't believe it when I spat it out and realised it was a nail. I am a pensioner and I don't even have any nails in the house so there is no other way it could have got into the food.
"It could have been really dangerous if it had gone through the side of my face or my tongue.
"And given that beans and sausages are popular with children, it could have been a disaster if a child had got this in their mouth."
Mrs Cresswell, from Acton, near Sudbury, contacted Tesco, which took the can and nail back and issued her a refund of 40p.
A spokeswoman for the company told the EADT last night that while this seemed like "very little compensation" for such a potentially dangerous situation, the matter would be investigated thoroughly and Mrs Cresswell would be informed of the outcome.
She said: "A report will be sent straight to head office and they will probably also request that we send them the product to examine. Head office will then get in touch with the supplier and a thorough investigation will take place. A final report will be sent to the customer."
She added: "We take this matter very seriously and we will be in touch with our customer as soon as we have investigated the issue."
Babergh District Council's corporate manager for food and safety, John Grayling, said environmental health officers would prefer people to contact their local authority if they found foreign objects in any product.
He added: "Ideally, we would want them to bring the product to us so we could investigate, contact the authority where the factory is and make sure nothing is amiss in the production line so that it doesn't happen again.
"A nail is quite a big piece of metal so I would have expected that to have been detected.
"If people want to take it back to the shop where they bought it, they do of course have that choice but we would prefer to be able to take it up with a company ourselves so we can go right back to the source. I would hope that Tesco will take it to their primary authority."

So TESCO offered a refund for the goods while they investigated the incident. Perfectly reasonable. Did she think they were just going to give her a big cheque there and then? Once more the litigation culture of this country strikes again
Friday, March 1, 2013
Baked beans are part of a "staple" diet . Will Tesco be able to "pin" down where the problem arose and then "hammer" it home to the manufacturers? (Terrible puns I know but glad Edna is OK). Perhaps Tesco should give her some shopping vouchers as a good will gesture and then she can try another brand.

It makes me think the people producing this food are cowboys
Thursday, February 28, 2013
It's hard to imagine a nail finding its way into a can of beans, but I'm wondering if there is an innocent explanation for what happened. Maybe this nail was part of a horse? Something to do with its shoe perhaps? It's possible that when the horse was being prepared for inclusion into a burger or lasagne, some small part of its foot found its way into Edna's beans. It must have been a nasty shock for her, but it sounds to me like an honest mistake.

Raising Our Chickens – News From The Coop
All in all – we would have to say that the most talked about of any venture we have going on at the farm are the chickens. "The Coop" as we call it – is usually the first place visitors to the farm go to see. Our coop has been home since early 2011 to our little flock (we started with nine).
With a few minutes of care each day – they have provided us with a little over 4 dozen eggs each week – and maybe even more importantly – an incredible supply of organic matter for our compost bins.
It's amazing how each of our chickens has developed their own personality. Click below on the links to read any of the posts on our ladies.

3 Comments on Raising Our Chickens – News From The Coop
Is there something I need to do to keep chickens laying all year.
We also have chickens and are in the process of making a new house. However, my idea of it and my husbands idea are two different things. You've heard the old adage "If you nail it or wire it up it gets done". Well, that is my husband. I on the other hand am the measure r and builder of things the right way with floors, walls and roofs built correctly. I loved your self starting seed planter. I'm going to do that myself. I like you used my dining room table every year. So I really this idea. The fact that you have all the measurements on here will be so simple. I can go to my local lumber store and they will cut these for me exactly the length I need. Or I can come home and use the new table saw I bought my husband for Christmas still in the box. I will post my picture on facebook when I'm finished. Thank you so much.

Dave Matthews Band // Scranton, PA Poster
May 31st, 2013 // Posted by Dan in Blog, Dave Matthews Band, DKNG Work, Sketch↳ Click on or rollover the image above for a magnified view
Our latest poster for Dave Matthews Band for their show at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania, pays homage to the city's moniker, "The Electric City". We went for a semi-literal interpretation of that name by creating a skyline comprised of varying sizes and shapes of lightbulbs, while also including some of the city's historic landmarks. Seasoned Scranton historians will recognize the first-of-its-kind electric trolley system as well as the famed "Electric City" rooftop sign.
The print itself is an 18″ x 24″, four color screen print on French Construction Blacktop paper. A limited number of prints are now available online in the DKNG Store. We will be releasing an art print version of the poster sometime in the near future. Check out a few close-up photos of the poster below as well as our initial sketch of the concept. You can also learn more about Scranton, PA in the video below.

Harrison Township
March 4, 2013Men escape unharmed after falling through ice on Lake St. Clair
By Julie Snyder
C & G Staff Writer
HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Two men, and the four-wheeler they were riding on, plunged into Lake St. Clair March 3.
While the men emerged virtually unscathed, the recreational vehicle is likely a goner.
Harrison Township firefighter Bob Mlynarek confirmed that the incident occurred when the men fell through thin ice near Beacon Cove Marina at Jefferson and Crocker in Harrison Township at around 5 p.m.
The men, both from St. Clair County, were able to climb out of 8 feet of water, but needed assistance getting to shore.
Mlynarek said the men were pulled from the cracking ice to shore by members of the fire department, and the Macomb County Sheriff's Marine Division and Michigan Marine Salvage in Harrison Township towed the four-wheeler from the lake.
One of the men was taken to McLaren Macomb medical center in Mount Clemens for observation relating to a preexisting hip condition, and the other man did not seek treatment.
The men's ages were not immediately available. Check back for complete details about the incident.

In the waning days of the season, every at bat of every game can make a difference, particularly if you're locked in a tight roto race. An RBI or two here and a couple of runs there can be the difference between heading into the off-season with a trophy on your shelf and writing a congratulatory email to a rival.
Whether you're battling for a title or just trying to gain a few more points in the standings, pinpointing the categories where you can make the most headway and having the players in your lineup who can get the job done is the key to late-season success. If the steals category is already locked up, don't hesitate to drop a producer like Juan Pierre in favor of a Russ Branyan, who just might get you that home run you so desperately need. And in the counting categories, it's always nice to have your guys play a few more games than your opponents. With this in mind, keep an eye on the schedule when making waiver wire pickups; there are two double-headers left that might be able to provide you with a few extra at bats.
Remaining Double-Headers
Thursday, September 30
Detroit at Tampa Bay
This is a big one, since many teams have Thursday off. If you're looking for fill-ins for your Red Sox, Indians, Braves, Mets, Expos, Astros, Pirates or Diamondbacks, this is the game to find those replacements. Probable pitchers are Jeremy Bonderman and Dewon Brazelton in the opener followed by Wil Ledezma and Mark Hendrickson. None has an ERA below 4.47, so there should be some runs scored in Tampa Bay tomorrow.
If you need speed, Julio Lugo might be available, with Nook Logan also a possibility. Craig Monroe or Carlos Pena could provide a little power, and Bobby Higginson and Jose Cruz, Jr. are both viable all-round options in a pinch.
Friday, October 1
No double-headers; all teams scheduled to play.
Saturday, October 2
Boston at Baltimore
Starting pitchers are still up in the air and may change if the Red Sox shuffle their rotation in preparation for the playoffs. For now, it looks like the Orioles will face a tough challenge in Curt Schilling and Bronson Arroyo. Boston's bats might have an easier time as Baltimore starts Daniel Cabrera and Sidney Ponson.
Third baseman-outfielder David Newhan has been slumping badly, but he's probably the best available choice if you're desperate for steals. Dave Roberts is faster, but is never a sure-fire bet to see much action. Finding any available power bat on these two teams won't be easy, but Bill Mueller and even Jay Gibbons might still be on the wire. You could also try your luck with the likes of Mark Bellhorn; in Boston's loaded lineup, everyone has the opportunity to drive in runs.
Sunday, October 3
No double-headers; all teams scheduled to play.
Good luck in the final days of the 2004 season!
Arlo Vander currently leads his league by just half a point. He'd give quite a bit for an extra home run or two.
Locked in a tight pennant race? Who are you counting on to bring home the title? |

Learning how to avoid post-election violence
When Malawi was gearing up for elections in 2009, the climate was characterised by high political tensions. There were signs that if not managed properly, the violence that devastated Kenya in 2008 might be repeated in Malawi.
Malawi prepares for elections
Just as in Kenya, the opposition parties in Malawi had lost trust in the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC), as it was perceived to be biased in favour of the governing party. The President had unilaterally appointed the Electoral Commissioners, when Malawi's constitution requires that this be done in consultation with the political parties represented in Parliament.
In addition, the relationship between the main political parties was characterised by high levels of animosity.
It was against this background that the Centre for Multiparty Democracy Malawi (CMD-Malawi) made a deliberate decision to focus its 2008 activities on the 2009 elections. The exchange visit to Kenya was seen as an opportunity for the Malawian delegation – which included senior politicians, an Electoral Commissioner and a civil society representative – to learn what went wrong in the Kenyan electoral process.
Building confidence and trust
The exchange started with a joint workshop between the Malawi delegation and member political parties of the Centre for Multiparty Democracy Kenya (CMD-K), the host organisation. During this workshop, participants reviewed the challenges facing Malawi in the run-up to the 2009 elections. These challenges were juxtaposed against a critical assessment of the Kenyan electoral process and the bottlenecks that had resulted in the post-election violence.
The Malawi delegation also met with stakeholders who played different roles in the both pre- and post-election period in Kenya. The delegation had discussions with political parties, civil society organisations, and CMD-K. The delegation also met with Mr. Kivuitu, the then Chairperson of the now defunct Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK).
One key lesson that was drawn from this exchange was that transparency and building confidence and trust in the electoral process is fundamental. For this to happen, it was observed that there was need to create mechanisms that could facilitate constructive dialogue and consultations between the electoral management body and other key stakeholders.
What the Malawians did when they returned home
Following their return to Malawi, CMD-M embarked on a formal dialogue platform where political parties and the MEC could meet and discuss a wide range of issues relating to the electoral process. This platform was later joined by civil society members of the Malawi Electoral Support Network (MESN).
"From that visit to Kenya, what we referred to as an important lesson was the importance of having a credible electoral commission and we went back home to try to enhance the credibility of our electoral commission and to improve the trust the political parties had in the electoral commission in Malawi." Kizito Tenthani Executive Director, CMD-Malawi |
During these dialogue sessions, the stakeholders identified a number of areas of concern that needed to be addressed before the electoral process could be rendered credible. With time, the MEC opened up to the other stakeholders and ensured that the process was as transparent as possible. The stakeholders were also able to understand and follow the various steps in the electoral process and made sure that they were directly represented at all critical phases.
With the devastating impact of the Kenyan post-election crisis at the back of their minds, Malawian electoral stakeholders, with the support of CMD-M also committed themselves through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to ensure that they would do everything possible to avoid any kind of violence and that they would instead use all available legal avenues to present their grievances.
A credible electoral process
The overall result of all these initiatives was an electoral process which, although it started with a number of challenges, ended up being credible and acceptable to all parties. Those parties that had complaints took recourse to the Courts for redress. Countries such as Mozambique and Uganda, through subsequent exchange visits, also took a close look at what happened in Malawi. Today, the role that CMD-M played in the 2009 elections continues to serve as a model of good practice in the region.

Window shopping can be a disillusioning experience. A beautiful display can pull you in, only to lead to a shop with a bad selection and lousy customer service. Which makes it less fun to pop back onto the street to continue the search.
Online businesses have window displays too — or at least a good counterpart. If you're doing business online, you may be surprised to know that your window display could be making promises that your store doesn't deliver on.
Follow along with me and my daughter as we shop for new rain boots, and you'll discover what works and what doesn't when you're creating an online "window display" to entice your customers to buy.

NC pastor: telling parents to punch kids was jokeFAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina pastor says he was joking when he told parents to punch any gay-appearing sons. The Fayetteville Observer reports (http://bit.ly/IUR8m2 ) Berean Baptist Church pastor Sean Harris was preaching about marriage before next week's vote on a state constitutional amendment that would make marriage between a man and a woman the only legal domestic union in the state. Harris says he does not advocate hitting children and wishes he could take back a remark encouraging fathers to punch boys who act effeminately. But the Fayetteville pastor says parents should reinforce traditional gender roles in children. The group Vote For Marriage NC urged church leaders to preach a marriage-themed sermon last Sunday and encourage church members to vote early this week in favor of the constitutional amendment. ___ Information from: The Fayetteville Observer, http://www.fayobserver.com |
