"Jail" has bright and bleak moments, says Madhur Bhandarkar
"When I went inside jails in Maharashtra, for research, I almost went into depression. For two days, I couldn't come out of that state." This is filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar recalling the shooting of his "Jail". At Macau, he unveiled the first look of the film in the run-up to IIFA Awards. Coax Madhur into revealing the storyline, and he says: "The film is about a boy called Parag Dixit (Neil Nitin Mukesh) who works in a corporate office. He gets trapped in unfavourable circumstances and lands in jail. There, he meets people from various places, some innocent, some guilty. In the process of his own struggle to get out of prison, he learns about their lives and pain, and how the jail administration works." Model-turned actor Mugdha Godse, who surprised audiences with her performance in Madhur's "Fashion", plays Parag's love interest in the film.
Madhur has often been accused of making a docudrama of sorts in his penchant for exposing the truth. "'Jail' is not a documentary but a mirror to society. It talks about the difficult life of undertrials. It has nothing to do with the pressures of law or a comment on the system. It is not a dark film," he states.
This two-time National Award winner adds that "Jail" has doses of humour too. "Among the several under-trials Parag meets, some are comical." Though there are rumours that the film is partly based on Sanjay Dutt's jail days, Madhur denies it: "It has nothing to do with Sanjay Dutt or Sanjay Nanda; it is a fictional story." Of late, Madhur's films seem to suffer from a kind of sameness. The audience can gauge the beginning, the middle and the end before the film ends. "And yet, they never leave the hall because they want to know reality," he quips.RANA SIDDIQUI ZAMAN

De Veranez
De Veranez, Addiebelle R. Addiebelle Rachel Jackson was born on August 24, 1926 in Hot Springs, Arkansas to her devoted parents, Jesse and Sarah Jackson. In Hot Springs, Jesse and Sarah owned/operated a restaurant/café where, as a young woman, Addiebelle learned the virtues of hard work, good cooking, and providing great customer service. Addiebelle graduated from Langston High School in Hot Springs, where she was class valedictorian and later attended Talladega College, where she pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's Chi Chapter in 1946. After her sophomore year she transferred to Fisk University, where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology in 1948. After graduating from Fisk, Addiebelle traveled to Chicago to work for the summer. In Chicago she stayed with her godparents, Henry Wadsworth McGee and his wife Addiebelle (for whom Addiebelle Jackson was named). Later Henry Wadsworth McGee would become the first black Postmaster of Chicago in 1966. In Chicago, Addiebelle's older brother, World War II Army veteran John S. Jackson, introduced her to his close Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity brother, Esteban De Veranez. That initial meeting resulted in a one year courtship that culminated in their wedding on June 19, 1949. Their exemplary, loving, and romantic relationship lasted for 61 years until Esteban's death in August 2010. Addiebelle and Esteban joined the Church of the Good Shepherd where their children were baptized, and they remained dedicated parishioners for many years. Later, they extended the ministry of the Congregational Church by becoming founding members of Trinity United Church of Christ in their local south-side community. Several years later they returned to the Church of the Good Shepherd where Addiebelle served with the Moentitas Club (Money, Energy, Time, and Talent) and Esteban was a Trustee and member of the Men's Club. They continued to be great supporters for over 30 years. A memorable moment for their family and congregation was the renewal of their marriage vows on their 50th wedding anniversary in June 1999. A dedicated lifelong learner and educator, Mrs. De Veranez continued her educational pursuits by receiving aMaster's Degree in Education in December 1983. Mrs. De Veranez was a beloved teacher, spending most of her 30+ year teaching career at Rudyard Kipling Elementary School on Chicago's south-side. She was cherished by her community and colleagues for promoting and exemplifying the value of education and giving back to the community. She positively influenced the lives of thousands of children during her 33 year teaching career. Esteban and Addiebelle were a philanthropic couple, generous with their time, energy and resources, supporting many organizations, universities and causes. Over the years, they enjoyed an active social life and traveled to numerous destinations around the U.S. and abroad while also taking 16 cruises. Their home was filled with music, art, memorabilia and family photographs, and all the indicators of a loving, joyful and fulfilling life together. Addiebelle was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, teacher, neighbor and friend. She will be dearly missed by so many. Addiebelle R. De Veranez was preceded in death by her husband Esteban S. De Veranez, father Jesse Jackson, mother Sarah Shenoy Jackson, brother John S. Jackson, father-in-law Esteban Veranes, mother-in-law Frances Massie De Veranez, and sister-in-law Petrafae De Veranez-Cambre.She is survived by her son Steven, daughter Denise, and son-in-law Michael A.M. Brown, grandsons Jason and Cedric Blake, stepgrandson Michael L. Brown, niece Cherisse Baatin and her husband Waleed Baatin and their children, grandchildren, relatives and friends and her loving caregiver, Minlo.

Welcome to Seasonal Health
Serving the whole family that invests in health and is committed to change through natural and preventative healthcare. Experience Dr. Roberts' safe, complementary and alternative approach to health. Addressing underlying conditions with integrative medicine and a wide variety of naturopathic healing methods tailored to individual needs.
What sets Dr. Kathia Roberts apart?
She is a compassionate naturopathic doctor and seasoned health educator, with impressive experience and credentials. Her zeal and ability to assist the whole person on his or her journey towards greater health is amongst the main reasons many of her patients hold her in such high regard. Colleagues describe her as an alchemist, whose healing artistry lies in her ability to draw from both science-based botanical medicine and ancient holistic therapies when formulating customized herbal and homeopathic remedies for her patients.
Dr. Roberts will often prepare remedies in her apothecary in the presence of her patients, allowing them to participate in a significant aspect of their healing experience. Formulations may include: hormonal balancing capsules, adrenal fatigue tonics, colic infant sublingual sprays, cough syrups, ear-infection oil, enuresis tea, anti-GERD hot-chocolate drinks, dermatitis creams, acne facial sprays, HPV douches, rheumatic bath salts, alopecia hair oil, eczema oil, yeast infection and hemorrhoid suppositories, muscle spasm and constipation oils, sinus rinses and bronchitis vapor salt and much more.
Dr. Roberts is also considered a health "foodie," regularly demonstrating her mouth-watering natural recipes in her on-site health kitchen, where she hosts cooking classes that empower patients to create a healthier lifestyle through natural cuisine. Her focus is on seasonal foods, including organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fresh fish. Her successful cleansing and detox program is among the offerings that have earned the most accolades. Around town, she is known as the Cleansing Doc due to her great success in assisting Hoboken's "who's who" in their weight-loss quest.
One Stop Shop for Health!
Dr. Roberts understands the importance of providing patients with all the tools needed to improve their health. She believes in an integrative approach to medicine where various methods can work together synergistically to provide the optimal conditions for healing. Her commitment to providing a holistic healing experience motivated her to open Seasonal Health Wellness Center.
Seasonal Health is a labor of love, offering a wide variety of holistic-health services provided by a cohesive team of carefully selected practitioners who are experts in their areas of expertise. In addition to Dr. Roberts' practice, Seasonal Health Wellness Center's services include: Acupuncture • Aromatherapy • The Bradley Method of Natural Child Birth • Energetic Body Work • Feldenkrais • Hypnotherapy • Massage • Mayan Abdominal Therapy • Kinesiology • Meditation • Reiki • Resonance Repatterning™ • Qi Gong • Spiritual Coaching, and much more.
A Modern Concept of Seasonal Medicine
Dr. Roberts' extensive education in holistic healing methods from around the world led her to the Beijing Xi Yuan Hospital in China. There she had the opportunity to observe centuries old practices rooted in purposeful living performed by elders in the community. This experience was the inspiration behind the naturopathic model she offers in the United States, South Africa and Europe, which resonates with natural and seasonal changes as a path toward becoming more vibrant and achieving wellness. The Seasonal Health model that Dr. Roberts created honors tradition; acknowledges the need to embrace nature's bio-rhythms to achieve balance; applies healthcare practices that are suitable for each season and customizes them to address each person's constitution and individual needs.,/p>
Our Current Season…
Winter (Reflection & Preservation)
Nature's resting season, filled with silence, withdrawing into the deep earth to nourish its roots and energy to prepare for spring's renewal. Remember that energy cannot be created nor destroyed only transformed. Thus use this time wisely when you are feeling the chill and sensitive emotions by transforming that energy into inward reflection, seeking replenishment and being aware of your senses. Mind-Body connection must be the focus during winter and enjoying the warmth of family and friends at home. Water is the Chinese element for the winter that governs the reproductive organs. Within the kidneys "essence" is stored and along with the bladder they rule over winter. "Chinese folklore Medicine"
For Winter, consider Executive Immunity™, specially formulated with your winter needs in mind. The active botanical ingredients nourish, protect and normalize vital bodily functions such as, the lymphatic and liver function, among many others, to assist your natural killer cells to ward off infections, colds and flu-like viruses. See Services for more information.

Hostal Cloud Forest
I stayed two nights at Hostal Cloud Forest in Chugchilán. For a room with private bathroom I paid $12 per night (July 2011). Both breakfast and dinner was included in the price. My room was small but good. There was a table and a shelf and in the bed there were several blankets (but I asked for one more in the evening anyway). In the bathroom there was hot water, a soap, a towel and toilet paper.
On the verandas there are hammocks where it was nice to rest for a while, with a good book, after the long hike. There is a common area with a wood stove, but I never saw anyone sitting there, except by the old computer that was available there. After dinner it seemed like everyone just lingered in the dinning room before an early night to bed. Before dinner I chose to sit in the restaurant, where there also is a wood stove. Dinner and breakfast was then served in a room upstairs, dinner just after 19 and breakfast at 7.30. All tourists ate together.
After dinner a man from the hostels came around and asked the tourists which plans they had for next day. The ones who wanted to leave with the bus, pick-up truck or the lechero got information about these, and for the ones who wanted to hike to Quilotoa he draw a simple map the next day. Horseback riding tours can also be arranged.
In the restaurant you can buy water and some snacks. A small water bottle was $ 0.50 and a big beer was $3. If you have your own empty water bottle you can refill a big bottle with water for $0.50.
Update 2012: Also in July 2012 I stayed at Hostal Cloud Forest for two nights and the price was still $12 per night, including breakfast and dinner. However there was no electricity in the area for several days and that meant there was no hot water in the shower. Luckily there was an engine that could be used and if we asked in advance we could have hot water in the shower (which of course is very nice after a long walk and when it is quite cold and windy outside).
I got the room next to the one I had had the previous year and it looked the same. The first night we were only three tourists and the second night we were 15 tourists. In the evening and morning we all ate together as last year.
When I left I was given a Cloud Forest T-shirt. I got very happy to get this from the kind people at the hostel!

Black Sheep Inn: This is gonna take some explaining...
Where to start? It's a very nice place on the side of a hill above town - owned by a couple of type-A-enterprising American hippies - run by (at the time I was there) a perfectly balanced British couple (she: business like, he: relaxed) - populated by, mostly European (thankfully) yuppies with the occasional oddball thrown in - and staffed by the (non-English speaking) locals.
My room was well built, cozy with a loft - part of 3 or 4 in an attached-row, nice until the Isreali family with their 3 whining & screaming children moved in next door (not your ordinary whining & screaming - this was almost unbelievable), oh well, I have done a few things in my life that deserve punishment.
Speaking of punishment, here was the main "problem" I had with BSI: They have a good sized lodge where you can hang out & where you eat meals (family style at big table), all very nice, except... For some reason they insist on playing this insipid "Adult-Contemporary" music crap almost all of the time, I literally found myself in my room at dusk; freezing for as long as possible 'til I had to go down to the lodge & get warm before dinner (I guess I could have started my own fire, but I was conserving wood), just to avoid the horrible music! If you can stomache this kind of marginal Sarah McLaughlin crap then you're welcome to it, but I don't know too many people who travel to the middle of nowhere hoping to experience another culture only to be bombarded with some of the worst that you'd thought you left behind.
Otherwise, it's really cool to hang out with and talk to your fellow travelers, unless you get an annoying American couple (remember, it's a yuppy place) and the wife asks you "What do you DO?" Why do American's always ask about work? Don't ask me about work? I'm on #@%$# vacation, OK????
They have cool pigs rootin' around.
Unbeatable views.
Vegetarian food only (ugh! I hated it - meat please)
Safe for children.

Mama Hilda: The best and not even the most expensive
We went here thanks to a tip, and it was great advice. You will see lots of adverts for other places but this is the best. The family are willing to help you with anything and give loads of advice and tips. Although the village is tiny it is a great base for treks and a good place to get away from everything.
They provide breakfast and dinner, which were great homecooked food. After a day trekking there is loads to munch down.
The views of the mountians are stunning and you can lie in one of their hammocks and night and watch the stars.
Mama Hilda is very welcoming. A really family feel to the place.

Black Sheep Inn: EcoTravel in the Quilota Loop
An excellent, comfortable place to stay just outside of the small town of Chugchilan. Unbeatable vegetarian breakfast and dinner as well as purified water and english/spanish speaking staff. Andy and Michelle have some of the most comfortable beds in the area complete with wood burning stoves for those cold nights.
Composting toilets. Unbeatable food and amenities on the trail.

LED lighting becomes 'iconic' at symbol-generating workshop
Tired of seeing LEDs constantly lumped in with incandescent bulbs in the symbol department, Cree collaborates with The Noun Project to generate a new universal icon for energy-efficient lighting.
Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 03:36 PM
Image: The Noun Project/Cree
Although there's most certainly an (pre-rebate) icon for Philips' released-for-Earth Day L Prize Bulb, there's never really been a universally recognized symbol for LED lighting in general. Until now.
Back in February, the revolutionary, chocolate Easter bunny-melting wizards over at LED manufacturer Cree set out — with the assistance of The Noun Project — to generate a symbol that represents LED lighting in all of its energy-saving glory during a day-long collaborative workshop held at the company's North Carolina-based headquarters … a proper Iconathon, if you will. According to Ginny Skalski, Cree social media guru, blogger, and orchestrator of the aforementioned confectionery carnage, the new LED icon "will allow the public and the media to stop using antiquated Edison or swirly CFL bulb designs to symbolize lighting."
Unveiled to the public today, the new symbol for LED lighting is just one of 15 new icons representing energy-efficient technologies created during the Cree-hosted workshop. Others include "Energy Audit," "Wind Farm", "Weatherized Home," "Thermostat," and "Electric Charging Station."
Says Noun Project co-founder Edward Boatman of the icon:
One of the core themes that emerged from the group discussions was that LED is a radically different light source from any of its predecessors. Therefore, we all felt it was appropriate and necessary to break free from any past 'light bulb' design elements. LED lighting needed to have its own distinct and identifiable mark. As a group we decided that the two essential elements to the final design were the LED component that produces the light, and of course light itself. The final design honors both of these elements with a three-dimensional diamond shape representing the component and the use of negative space to represent a powerful and focused beam of light.
The LED icon and all of the other symbols created during the Cree Iconathon for Energy Efficiency are available for download here and can be used by the public under a Creative Commons license. And if you're not already familiar with The Noun Project, I highly recommend taking a look around the project website. Who knew there are official icons for cupcakes, bullies, bikers, and ice fishing?
For more on this nifty icon-generating endeavor, be sure to check out the video that I've embedded below.

Budget cut impact: Smaller Navy, fired teachers
Friday - 2/15/2013, 4:38pm EST
Associated Press
What does smaller government look like? The budget standoff between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans means Americans may soon find out, and the picture the Obama administration sketches is downright scary.
Cuts in the Navy's Pacific operations of one-third. Furloughed food inspectors forcing nationwide closures of meat and poultry plants. Ten thousand laid-off teachers. A $1 billion reduction in the relief fund for disaster victims. Less secure airline flights and longer waits on airport security screening lines. Reduced monitoring of air pollution, oil spills and hazardous waste.
All this and more because $85 billion in cuts across most federal programs will be automatically triggered March 1 unless Obama and Republicans do something that's eluded them for months: approve alternative savings.
A look at the fight over the so-called sequester, and what its impact could be:
--State of play: The cuts -- plus nearly $1 trillion more over the coming decade -- were enacted two years ago in hopes that their sheer ugliness would force the two sides to replace the reductions with a sweeping, bipartisan deficit-reduction deal. So far that's not happened.
The administration has repeatedly warned that the sequester must be avoided. White House budget office controller Daniel L. Werfel told Congress on Thursday that they would have "destructive consequences."
Though many lawmakers of both parties would like to find a way out, conservative Republicans have said they're willing to live with the reductions. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told The Associated Press this week that "we're going to be stuck with it" until Obama proposes a solution that can pass the Democratic-led Senate.
--Overall impact: Administrations past and present always excel at threatening scenarios that make it appear that life as we know it will end. In this case, the law limits the flexibility government officials will have to protect favored programs, but Werfel wrote that the White House has instructed agencies to give priority to avoiding cuts that could "present risks to life, safety or health" and seek other ways to minimize harm to important government services.
The sequester law exempts Social Security, Medicaid, food stamps and Medicare recipients' benefits from cuts, but most programs are vulnerable.
The cuts were expected to mean reductions this year of 8 percent in defense and 5 percent in nondefense programs. But because lawmakers recently delayed the impact until March 1 -- meaning they will affect only the last seven months of the government's budget year -- the sequester will force deeper reductions of 13 percent for defense and 9 percent for other programs.
--Defense: The Defense Department announced last week that because of the cuts it is withdrawing one of its two aircraft carriers from the Persian Gulf region, but there's more coming.
The Navy's top officer, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, told Congress that because of the sequester and already planned long-range reductions, the Navy could not fully support counterterrorism operations in Somalia and Yemen. A letter the Pentagon sent to Congress this week says the military will protect operations for ongoing wars, but expects to curtail maintenance of aircraft and ships, reduce training and maintenance for some Army units and cut Air Force flying hours. There would probably be a freeze in hiring civilians, instead of the 1,500 to 2,000 new jobs monthly. Current civilian workers could be furloughed up to 22 days. And the military's Tricare health care system could lose $3 billion, threatening elective care for some military dependents and retirees.
--Homeland Security: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wrote to Congress that there will be fewer border agents and fewer facilities for detained illegal immigrants. There would be reduced Coast Guard air and sea operations, furloughed Secret Service agents and weakened efforts to detect cyberthreats to computer networks. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief fund would lose more than $1 billion. "We do not have the luxury of making significant reductions to our capabilities without placing our nation at risk," Napolitano wrote.
--Education: Education Secretary Arne Duncan told Congress that 70,000 Head Start pupils would be removed from the pre-kindergarten program, about 1 of every 13. Duncan warned those cuts would mean layoffs of 10,000 teachers and thousands of other staffers because of cuts in federal dollars that state and local governments use for schools. Cuts for programs for handicapped and other special needs students would threaten 7,200 teachers and aides, he said.
--Health: The National Institutes of Health would lose $1.6 billion, trimming research on cancer, drying up money for hundreds of other research projects and eliminating up 20,000 private research positions nationwide. Health departments would give 424,000 fewer tests for the AIDS virus this year. More than 373,000 seriously ill people may not receive needed mental health services.

Let's Get On with the Show!
There's no business like show business! I bet Ethel Merman would love bead shows. Can't you just imagine her in all her Everything's Coming Up Roses style, dancing to each booth, dangling strands of beads around her neck, filling up a shopping tray in grand style, and throwing in a pair of beaded cheaters while she's at it?
Bead shows are a blast. But they can also be treacherous territory for first timers, compulsive shoppers, and anyone who hasn't been working out at the gym.
If it's your first show:
If you're a compulsive shopper:

"tookis" goes with "schlep" goes with any trade show. I really enjoy your wednesday emails. Lorna
Good advice but just one more - if you find a great deal (and are in the business), don't underbuy if instinct tells you it will be a good seller. Also, I took my beading class for a "field trip" to a small local show. It was an excellent educational opportunity for all of us and a nice bonding opportunity.
Comment by: Mary P | April 2, 2008
I love that Trinket necklace! It's really great! I stopped and studied it for a long time! Thanks! Jean Yates
Comment by: jean y | April 2, 2008
I took some friends to their first big bead show and they were overwhelmed. It does help if a first timer has someone with them to keep the spending under control. Barbara
Comment by: | April 2, 2008
You should also mention that because of all the bright lights, layering is a good idea, as venues can become hot quickly, and also, drink LOTS of water, as lights (and the mochas) can quickly dehidrate,
Comment by: nancy b | April 2, 2008
One more tip - if you're going to buy, then you're going to have to carry it around and beads can get heavy and hard to manage when you're still shopping. I bring a small knapsack on wheels to hold my purchases. It also holds my supplies when I attend classes at the bead show.
Comment by: Nancy M | April 2, 2008
I think that Jean Campbell has some great advice that translates well to first time bead shop shoppers as well! I teach classes at a local bead store and I try to instruct my students on how to shop in a bead store for the first time. Many of them are overwhelmed and appreciate the advice on how to navigate the store and choose their beads and other tools, materials and findings wisely! Once they take a class they are hooked for life!I know all bead addits out there like me can relate to that!
Comment by: Darlene J | April 2, 2008
I went to my first bead show last year and was hooked! This advice would have been helpful to me then - but hey - better late than never!
Comment by: Doreen R | April 2, 2008
Good to write about bead shows. Thank you. At my first bead show I took $50 and said that when it was gone, so was I. I spent it 5 minutes, left, picked up my daughter from school, went to the ATM and withdrew $300; saying to myself that $200 would be for pearls and $100 for groceries. I returned and bought the pearls then saw a booth with beautiful blue opal beads sold by weight. I picked out the smallest nicest strand I could find costing $90. I stood there with this strand of beads in my hands thinking, "Oh Janine, you can't do this with your grocery money. Absolutely not! No way!" At that point a young man started speaking loudly to the crowd quoting a Biblical source saying that adorning the body was sinful and that we should all change our ways and repent, talking quickly before the security guard took him away. I watched him in amazement but then returned to the blue opal beads in my hands. I looked at the vendor, smiled and said, "I'll take them."

I love your humour and your great knowledge is very helpful. Greetings from Switzerland.
Comment by: Elke T | April 2, 2008
I can't imagine better advice for doing the shows. My first show, I had the $100 cash and the cards (mistake). However, I did travel lite, sat alot, Starbuck's nextdoor, and I brought my digital camera - I asked if it was ok to snap a few pics, some vendors were fine with it. My feet hurt any way, and I'm still paying off my first bead show. I should have subscribed sooner. Thanks for the tips. Joanne
Comment by: Joanne B | April 2, 2008
Making a list is what you need bwfore you go to a show is essential. I learned that the hard way. Now I take a note book of patterns I want to make. I clip an index card on each pattern with what I need. Many vendors have commented on how organized I was (if they only knew). I have the picture of the project and can change the bead, color or style since I have the picture and pattern right there and can't find what it calls for. I can make an educated choice about the beads I need to buy. I hope this makes sense. With just a list I wouldn't know what the bead was for and wouldn't be able to make a change. Thanks for your column...I always learn something from it. Bonnie Nagle It's hard fpr me to write in such a small space so I hope I've made sense.
Comment by: Bonnie N | April 2, 2008
I have one more suggestion. We have a great many bead shows in the Los Angeles area, and many vendors come back several times a year. Others do not. You see them once, and that's it. So -- collect business cards like crazy and keep them in a file at home. That way, you can order more beads online or by phone later (if they sell at places other than bead shows), whether or not they return to your area.
Another point to consider -- a lot of local stores have displays at the bead shows. You might check on them and visit their stores later, as they seldom display every kind of thing they have in stock. That way, you can focus on those who are not local or who do not sell as often at shows. (Obviously, I'm lucky enough to live in a city that has a lot of bead shops....)
Comment by: Jan G | April 2, 2008
Jean Campbell I have shared your journey at some of the bead shows that we have had in San Diego as well as shopping at some of the great bead stores we have here. You were totally correct about the "credit card" once I pulled it out I was a gonner. My bead passion has been the semi-precious stones and pearls. I now have plastic shoe boxes in a 6 foot high book case just chocked full of beads. However, I wouldn't change it for anything. Sometimes just sitting, touching and planning fulfills some ancient need to express ourselves in beads. I love your articles and enjoy the newsletter. Thanks for your encouragement and honest information. Peg Marsh
Comment by: Peg M | April 2, 2008
I go to two shows a year that are held in Manchester, UK. Like yourself I go with a budget of £100 and take a list of what I need.
Comment by: yvonne j | April 3, 2008
Hi All, my comment is a question. What is a "Beaded Cheater?"
Comment by: Gail M | April 3, 2008
Jean,great article.I always regret not buying something I know I really want and when I don't write down information about something that's new to me, like the name of a stone and whether it's a claw or tooth pendant from Tibet :)
"What's a Beaded Cheater?"... They're these great reading glasses encrusted with beads or rhinestones. Vendors often sell them at shows, and only Ethel and her ilk (that includes me!) wear them...
Comment by: Jean C | April 3, 2008
Thanks Jean C. You're always right on time. I wear bifocals myself but I'd rather wear something bead encrusted. OK, now what are tookis and schlep? Ladies, I need some vocaulary help today.....~
Comment by: Gail M | April 4, 2008
I thought I was the only one experiencing a racing heart and an adrenaline rush at my first show 3yrs ago.......I still feel the same way, but now know there are so many of us!
Comment by: Laila T | April 4, 2008
I know the list says to walk the entire show before buying but that can present a problem if the show is large. You can easily get to the end, find it's almost time to leave and go mad trying to remember and/or find the things you wanted to buy.

I went to a small gemstone show today and was amazed! There were lots and lots of stones I'd never even heard of, and there was an amazing amount of Lapis. I've never seen so much in one place before. I restricted myself to some grape beads, some azurite, and a few crystal points.
Comment by: Rachael A | April 14, 2008
tookis is, as a wise older Jewish gentleman told me, an 'offensive Yiddish term for the hind end of a donkey.' Schlepp is kind of the sound your feet make at the end of schlepping around all day.
Comment by: michelle j | April 14, 2008
Just went to my first bead show and loved it!!! Tried to follow the "walk the show" idea but was difficult when I found a unique item that may be gone when I returned. Enjoyed it so much that I took my daughters (who are 14 & 4) the next day, gave them $20 & watched them have a blast. I enjoy your Wednesday articles Jean Campbell! Other "beaders" I met at the show also read them every Wednesday and enjoy your sense of humor as much as I do. Keep up the great work. Sincerely - Jen B
Comment by: Jen B | April 16, 2008
I live in tucson which has a wonderful bead show every feb. I went to my first one 3 years ago and of course went "wild" with the debit card much to my husbands non-amusement. What can I say? I didn't even cover half of what I wanted to see that year. This year I went back every day until I had seen just about everything there was to see that interested me the first year. I also went with the debit card, but now my husband is used to my buying the lovely's, because he gets to see the creations I make with them first and brags to people about his wife's talent. Do I have a swelled head??? Naw!!! BeBe of tucson

PNP asks for P72.1B budget, vows response to crime in 15 minutes—Recto
MANILA, Philippines—If you can get your pizza delivered in 30 minutes, is it too much to ask the police to respond to a distress call within 15 minutes?
Senate Pro Tempore Ralph Recto said the Philippine National Police has promised to consistently address crimes within 15 minutes while asking for a P72.1-billion share in the P2.26-trillion national budget for 2014.
With the proposed PNP budget, the police also promised to increase the number of foot and car patrols by 25 percent.
Recto lauded the PNP's commitment to a faster response time, saying "it can be a deterrent against crime because nothing dissuades a criminal more than the certainty of arrest."
"If pizza companies can promise to deliver your pizza in 30 minutes or you get it for free, then why can't the police have that same response time in life-and-death situations?" Recto said in a statement.
For criminals to be stopped from escaping in 60 seconds, "our police must be given all the resources so they can be at the scene of the crime, not just in 60 minutes, but in seconds," Recto added.
Recto said this can be addressed by the proposed 2014 allocation of P100 million for new structures, P1.8 billion for new vehicles and P925 million for other equipment.
He added that among the PNP's planned "major final outputs" for 2014 were to promptly investigate the projected 629,258 crimes for next year and achieve a five-percent jump in the apprehension rate of "most wanted criminals."
The PNP also vowed to arrest five percent of the most wanted criminals within 30 days of receipt of a court-issued warrant of arrest.
Citing PNP statistics, Recto said the index crime in 2012 numbered 129,161 cases while those in the non-index crime category were 88,651 cases for a total case volume of 217,812.

Steven Adler (born Michael Coletti; January 22, 1965) is an American musician. He is best known as the former drummer and co-songwriter of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses, with whom he achieved worldwide success in the late 1980s.[1] Adler was fired from Guns N' Roses over his heroin addiction in 1990,[2] following which he reformed his old band Road Crew and briefly joined BulletBoys, which both proved unsuccessful. During the 2000s, Adler was the drummer and frontman of the band Adler's Appetite, and since 2012, he has held the same positions in the band Adler. He appeared on the second and fifth seasons of the reality TV show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, as well as on the first season of its spin-off Sober House.
Adler was born Michael Coletti in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of an Italian-American father and a Jewish American mother.[3] His father soon left, after which his mother, Deanna, moved the family to Los Angeles, California.[3] He was renamed Steven in observance of Jewish traditions, and he took on the surname Adler from his mother's marriage to Melvin Adler.[3] He has an older brother, Kenny, and a younger half-brother, Jamie.[2] Adler grew up in the San Fernando Valley until the age of 13, when he was sent to live with his grandparents in Hollywood due to his bad behavior.[4] At Bancroft Junior High, Adler befriended Saul Hudson, later known as Slash;[4][5] they met when Adler had a skateboarding accident and Slash stopped to help him.[2] After ninth grade, Adler returned to his parents' house in the Valley for the remainder of high school,[4][6] during which he learned to play drums.[7]
Soon after his return to Hollywood, in 1983, Adler auditioned for Sunset Strip staple London.[8] When the audition proved unsuccessful, he formed the band Road Crew—named after the Motörhead song "(We Are) The Road Crew"—with his childhood friend Slash. They placed an advertisement in a newspaper looking for a bassist, and received a response from Duff McKagan. They auditioned a number of singers, including one-time Black Flag vocalist Ron Reyes, and worked on material that included the main riff of what would become the Guns N' Roses song "Rocket Queen".[9] Slash disbanded the group the following year due to them not being able to find a singer, as well as Adler's lack of work ethic compared to himself and McKagan.[9] Adler then briefly joined a local band known as Hollywood Rose, which featured singer Axl Rose and guitarist Izzy Stradlin.[10]
In June 1985, Adler joined Guns N' Roses, which was newly founded by Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin, and several members of L.A. Guns.[11] His former Road Crew band mates Slash and Duff McKagan completed the line-up. They played nightclubs—such as the Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy, and The Troubadour—and opened for larger acts throughout 1985 and 1986. It was during this period that the band wrote most of its classic material, including "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child o' Mine", and "Paradise City". After being scouted by several major record labels, the band signed with Geffen Records in March 1986.[12]
In July 1987, Guns N' Roses released its debut album, Appetite for Destruction, which to date has sold over 28 million copies worldwide,[13] 18 million of which in the United States, making it the best-selling debut album of all time in the US.[14] In December, during a tour with Alice Cooper, an intoxicated Adler broke his hand when he punched a streetlight after a barroom brawl; Fred Coury of Cinderella was brought in as his substitute for several shows until he recovered.[12][15] In November 1988, Guns N' Roses released G N' R Lies, which sold over five million copies in the US alone,[14] despite containing only eight tracks, four of which were included on the previously released EP Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide.
Adler was again absent during a performance at the American Music Awards in January 1989; Don Henley filled in for him on drums.[12] His absence was originally attributed to a case of the flu, but it was later revealed that Adler had been in a drug rehabilitation program at the time.[16] The following October, during a show as opening act for the Rolling Stones, Axl Rose threatened to leave the band if certain members of the band didn't stop "dancing with Mr. Brownstone,"[12] a reference to their song of the same name about heroin use. Adler was among those who promised to clean up,[12] but he continued to struggle with his addiction.
Adler was briefly fired from the band over his drug use in early 1990, but he was reinstated after signing a contract in which he vowed to stop taking drugs.[17] However, by the time the band entered the studio to record the song "Civil War", his addiction had become so severe that he was unable to perform. By Adler's own admission, he tried to play the song "20, maybe 30 times."[2] The song's drum track had to be heavily edited just for his band mates to be able to play along with it.[18] When problems in the studio continued, causing recording sessions to abort for several days at a time,[19] Adler was formally fired from Guns N' Roses on July 11, 1990.[20] He had played his final show with the band on April 7 at Farm Aid IV.[12] Izzy Stradlin, who left the band in November 1991, later stated that replacing Adler with Matt Sorum of The Cult had a big impact on the band's sound, saying, "His sense of swing was the push and pull that give the songs their feel. When that was gone, it was just... unbelievable, weird. Nothing worked. I would have preferred to continue with Steve, but we'd had two years off and we couldn't wait any longer."[21]
In July 1991, Adler filed a lawsuit against his former Guns N' Roses band mates, contending that he was fired because the opiate-blocking drug he had been taking to aid his detox interfered with his concentration.[20] He also alleged that the contract he had been made to sign took away his financial interest in the band, stating, "I was told that every time I did heroin, the band would fine me $2,000. ... What these contracts actually said was that the band were paying me $2,000 to leave. They were taking my royalties, all my writing credits. They didn't like me any more and just wanted me gone."[2] The case was settled out of court in 1993; Adler received a back-payment check of $2,250,000 and was granted 15% of the royalties for everything he recorded prior to his departure.[22][23]
Following his departure from Guns N' Roses, Adler reformed Road Crew with a new line-up, consisting of former Vain singer Davy Vain, guitarists Shawn Rorie and Jamie Scott, and bassist Ashley Mitchell.[24] They recorded an album and attracted attention from a major label, but due to Adler's persistent drug problems, the group disbanded shortly thereafter.[2] Adler then entered a prolonged, self-imposed exile from the music industry; he later recalled, "I wish I could say that I did a lot of traveling or self-improvement, but all I actually did was sit on the couch and get high—while the TV watched me. It was a very, very hard time."[2]
In 1996, Adler suffered a stroke and was briefly comatose after taking a particularly potent speedball—a cocktail of heroin and cocaine used intravenously—which caused a temporary paralysis of the left side of his face, resulting in a speech impediment.[2][25] The following year, he pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace in relation to a domestic violence charge involving a woman with whom he had been living; he was sentenced to four days in jail, three years' probation, and mandatory drug counseling.[26]
In June 1998, Adler joined the newly reformed hard rock band BulletBoys, along with future Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba.[27] The group recorded an album and announced a US summer tour with Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango and Enuff Z'nuff.[27] However, Adler's return to music was cut short the following September, when he pleaded no contest to two counts of battery stemming from attacks on two other women in separate domestic violence incidents.[26] He was sentenced to a 150-day term in prison and three years' probation, with the condition of undergoing a year of domestic violence counseling and a ban on using illegal drugs.[26]
In 2003, Adler formed the band Suki Jones, later renamed Adler's Appetite, with Ratt singer Jizzy Pearl, former Slash's Snakepit guitarist Keri Kelli, Faster Pussycat guitarist Brent Muscat, and former Ratt bassist Robbie Crane.[28] With an ever-changing line-up due to members' previous commitments, the band toured the US and Europe throughout 2003 and 2004, playing mostly songs off Guns N' Roses' debut album Appetite for Destruction, as well as material by Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and Queen.[28] In September 2003, Adler's Appetite performed a show at the Key Club in Hollywood, where they were joined on stage by Adler's former Guns N' Roses band mates Slash and Izzy Stradlin, for renditions of "Mr. Brownstone", "Paradise City", and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".[29]
In January 2005, Adler's Appetite—minus Brent Muscat, who had departed the band—released through their official website a self-titled EP, which featured four original songs and the covers "Hollywood" by Thin Lizzy and "Draw the Line" by Aerosmith. The release was followed by a tour of the US, Europe, Japan, and Argentina. Later that year, the band announced plans to release a full-length album through Shrapnel Records,[30] but it failed to materialize. In July 2007, the group played another show at the Key Club, as part of their tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of Appetite for Destruction, during which they were joined on stage by former Guns N' Roses members Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan.[31] Although Slash was also in attendance, he did not join the band on stage, stating that he did not want to encourage the notion of a Guns N' Roses reunion.[32]
In 2008, Adler participated in the second season of the reality TV show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.[33] The show's resident medical expert, Dr. Drew Pinsky, regarded Adler as the "problem child" of the group; he described his behavior as "suicidal" and revealed that Adler had to be committed to a psychiatric hospital for two weeks prior to entering rehab.[34] Adler also participated in the first season of the Celebrity Rehab spin-off Sober House.[35] During the show's filming in July, an intoxicated Adler became so aggressive towards his cast mates that he was arrested at the Sober House premises.[36] He was convicted of being under the influence of a controlled substance and sentenced to community service.[37] The following January, he was arrested again for failure to complete his community service in the time frame stipulated by the judge.[37]
In 2010, Adler collaborated with his former Guns N' Roses band mate Slash on the latter's self-titled debut solo album, which was released in April. He appeared on the track "Baby Can't Drive", along with Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Alice Cooper, and Nicole Scherzinger. The song was featured on an expanded edition of the album released by Classic Rock.[38] The following July, Adler's Appetite—consisting of Adler, singer Rick Stitch, guitarists Michael Thomas and Alex Grossi, and bassist Chip Z'nuff—released the single "Alive", in conjunction with the release of Adler's autobiography My Appetite for Destruction: Sex, and Drugs, and Guns N' Roses.[39] In December, the band released two more singles, entitled "Stardog" and "Fading".[40] In 2011, following another relapse, Adler participated in the fifth season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.
In 2012, Adler formed a new band, simply called Adler, with guitarist Lonny Paul and singer-guitarist Jacob Bunton (formerly of Mars Electric and Lynam).[41] Steven Adler stated, "I love the music that we're creating!

○ Wildcard, crossword
○ Lettris
○ Boggle.
Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

Small businesses largely immune to reduced contractor pay cap
Reducing the contractor compensation cap to the level of the salary drawn by the President ($400,000) or the Vice President ($230,700), as suggested by some lawmakers and the White House in the past, would dramatically increase the number of employees who earn compensation above the allowable limits GAO said. But the changes would mostly affect large companies, auditors said, because few of the small companies it surveyed pay their employees more than the amount earned by the President and Vice President.

White House wants to scrap law allowing costly contractor salaries
The Obama administration has called on Congress to cap government-reimbursed contractor compensation at $400,000, a move that the head of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy said would save hundreds of millions of dollars. Joe Jordan, the OFPP administrator, said the White House would send proposed legislation to Congress next week.

Senate's defense bill cuts civilian workforce, caps contractor salaries
The Senate approved a $631 billion annual defense policy Tuesday that would require the Defense Department to reduce its civilian workforce by 5 percent over the next five years and impose a strict cap on government-funded contractor salaries. With the White House threatening to veto the Senate version its current form, the bill now heads to a House-Senate conference committee where differences between the two chambers' bill will be hammered out.

Congress clears way for DoD civilian workforce cuts
Congress has cleared the way for a $633 billion defense policy bill that includes mandated reductions to the Defense Department's civilian and contractor workforces. Leaders of a House-Senate conference committee, tasked with reconciling competing versions of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, included in the final report the automatic workforce reductions that opponents say would result in about 36,000 job losses.

used shrimp instead and tossed with mixed greens. and lemon since lime was old and tired! will marinate shrimp next time...light and refreshing. will make again.
Excellent. Left out the lettuce and added bell pepper, jicama, and bean sprouts. Cubed all of the veggies and the mango instead of slicing them. Added lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Delicious and great the next day too
I always make this as a side salad for lemon grilled chicken and cous cous sans the crab. Great dressing that isn't too oily. Would be stellar with crab too no doubt. Looks good too since the lettuce serves as little cups for the fruit and onion.
my boyfriend and i both agreed that the dressing was bland, even when i tried doctoring it with extra lime juice, garlic and cayenne. i added balsamic vinaigrette, after which the salad was nice and fresh, strawberries were a great addition, as well as roasted sunflower seeds for crunch.
I have made this many times (although only once as the recipe states). Strawberries are also good, add jalapeno. Since I am lazy, a raspberry vinegrette is fantastic on it instead of making this citrus dressing. mmmmm
Loved this salad, I too added some heat to this salad, but other than that it was fabulous. A definate keeper!
i made this on ladies camping weekend. Made the dressing before leaving home. Quick, easy, and was a hit! Have made it a few times. Will try the variations.
This is one terrific recipe. I added in extra crab meat as my market had crab legs on sale. I'll make this one again and again.
Quick, easy, and delicious. I added a tablespoon of chopped garlic and a shot of cayenne pepper to the dressing, used king crab instead of lump meat, and used baby spinach instead of Boston lettuce. A great weekday meal.
This is a delicious and lovely party dish. I added, as suggested, sweet chili sauce and cayenne, added one more avocado as well, and the compliments just keep coming! I also thought that it feeded more than 4 people - closer to six, over a bed of greens.

can do so only within a confidence interval of possible values. In addition to the inherent limitations of the measurement technique, a range of other factors may also be present and can affect the accuracy of laboratory analyses. Such factors may include deficiencies in the reference materials used in the analysis, equipment errors, environmental conditions that lie outside the range within which the method was validated, sample mix-ups and contamination, transcriptional errors, and more.
Consider, for example, a case in which an instrument (e.g., a breathalyzer such as Intoxilyzer) is used to measure the blood-alcohol level of an individual three times, and the three measurements are 0.08 percent, 0.09 percent, and 0.10 percent. The variability in the three measurements may arise from the internal components of the instrument, the different times and ways in which the measurements were taken, or a variety of other factors. These measured results need to be reported, along with a confidence interval that has a high probability of containing the true blood-alcohol level (e.g., the mean plus or minus two standard deviations). For this illustration, the average is 0.09 percent and the standard deviation is 0.01 percent; therefore, a two-standard-deviation confidence interval (0.07 percent, 0.11 percent) has a high probability of containing the person's true blood-alcohol level. (Statistical models dictate the methods for generating such intervals in other circumstances so that they have a high probability of containing the true result.) The situation for assessing heroin content from a sample of white powder is similar, although the quantification and limits are not as broadly standardized. The combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is used extensively in identifying controlled substances. Those analyses tend to be more qualitative (e.g., identifying peaks on a spectrum that appear at frequencies consistent with the controlled substance and which stand out above the background "noise"), although quantification is possible.
Analyses in the forensic science disciplines are conducted to provide information for a variety of purposes in the criminal justice process. However, most of these analyses aim to address two broad types of questions: (1) can a particular piece of evidence be associated with a particular class of sources? and (2) Can a particular piece of evidence be associated with one particular source? The first type of question leads to "classification" conclusions. An example of such a question would be whether a particular hair specimen shares physical characteristics common to a particular ethnic group. An affirmative answer to a classification question indicates only that the item belongs to a particular class of similar items. Another example might be whether a paint mark left at a crime scene is consistent (according

There again, they might be able to borrow some art assets from Champions Online, which could help creating such a mission a LOT easier...
Oh, sure-- I completely understand that it would require new artwork, assets, etc.. Just throwing that out there in case one day there's the budget, time, and resources.
BTW, I don't think it would be necessary to do this huge, expansive, overly detailed outdoor environment that painstakingly recreates the 20s, 30s, etc. I'm not talking Death to Spies or anything. The mission could just be carried out no differently than it is done in some of the others we've seen-- starts out in a limited outdoor environment (plaza surrounded by a few buildings with a few NPCs walking around?), with the users having to teleport to limited interior spaces. I could even see some of the pre-existing tunnels/ halls/ labyrinths from various other missions being re-used, except instead of "space ship interiors" they're re-skinned to look like a speakeasy or German bunker or something.
The only real obstacle I see is in terms of clothing.
Again, this is something that I thought would be fun for both developers and players alike, especially to alleviate burnout. Besides, the whole time travel "fish out of water" thing is a time-honored ST tradition.

Not a Big Hit with Bunny
posted 6 years ago
I bought a bag of Oxbow Brome Hay to mix with his Timothy and Orchard Grass. He absolutely did not like it. He picked out all of the Timothy and Orchard grass and left a big pile of Brome hay in his hutch. It smells good, but not as sweet as Orchard grass or Timothy. I am disappointed that he didn't like it because it seems like a good, nutritious hay to blend with his Timothy.
Pros: Nutritious
Cons: Rabbit didn't like it

Did you?
A different choice of hay
posted 6 years ago
My vet recommended Bunny Brome as an excellent alternative to the other hay choices. Although it's called Bunny Brome, it's good for all small animals. After struggling to find a store that carries it, I offered it to all of my guinea pigs. Some of them reluctantly ate it when no other hay choices were available, but given a choice, none of them selected it first. As with all Oxbow products, it was packaged nicely and was the contents was fresh.
Pros: vet recommended, fresh, healthy
Cons: least favorite of all hays, difficult to find

"we were able to pick a delicate flowery design with the same shade in colors as the brides dress on the back of the invite"
"This was a very classic and simple card that was perfect for my sister-in-law. She isn't into flowers or silhouettes of the bride etc. I got it in the leaf color with the scalloped edges, which added a nice touch to the design of the card. Everyone has commented on what a nice invite it is."
"Did the color in navy. Changed the script to a different font. Design service was awesome as had a concern about a font I had originally picked for the registry line..they gave me 2 proofs and did great job. Would totally recommend this site!! Responded quickly!"
"Using this invite for a couple's shower , with one of the couple's engagement photos and some revision by the Wedding Paper Divas reviewer, ...she added the word "couple's" to the "Wedding Shower, and made a few additional tweaks as well,,,,perfect! I actually did two variations with different rsvp dates and info as it was going to two different groups Quick response and delivery, I have used WPD several times and have always been very pleased with product and service, highly recommend."
"I had many complements on our invitation; it was fun & different, but still classy. The quality was very good! The design on the back of the invitation was cute. I expedited my order and received it as promised. We will definitely be ordering more of these types of cards for future family events. Can't wait to see my rehearsal dinner invites!"

Official Foundry Request
Well, as official as anything can be coming from me...
I'd really like to make sure that we have access to (in addition to all of the prefabs currently ingame) some basic building materials. Different size walls, windows, beams, lights, bricks... in different species "flavors" maybe?
This way we can build for whatever and add a ton of variety without reusing the same old stale buildings that we've seen since launch.
Also, just a quick idea that could use some fleshing out, but it's been mentioned that creating the thousands of systems necessary to build a true open exploration experience would be very time consuming... and it would be, for a Dev Team. But if we, in our thousands, were to have the ability to create new systems and place them in an exploration sector.... the possibilities are literally endless.
Picture exploration space as a huge, mostly empty map, but each star visible represents an actual hand-designed, hand placed star system... and I'm talking huge, something that would take an hour of real time, or more, to fly across in sector space. But every star you see can be explored...
It could work like this:
Say the huge exploration map is made up of a grid, where a player could "buy" a grid square to design. In that grid square are smaller squares, each of which could contain a star - which represents a system that can be explored. ("Buy" could represent ingame currency, of C Store credits, or Honor points, whatever - the point is, it would cost the player something to work on it, limiting the number of claimed, but unused/undesigned squares) - Anyway, as the Foundry designer finishes a system, he publishes it and it becomes visible in sector space. A player could design his grid to include a small war between two systems in his "grid", or resource/trading coalitions among the aliens that he created to live there...
Again, the possibilities are endless. So is it a big request, yep... but using a lot of what already exists, it could solve one of the largest problems plaguing this game. I love STO, and Cryptic for making it... this could help me help them make the greatest game ever.

Keo.co.zo brought you live commentary from the Springboks' second European Tour Test in Udine.
Final score: Italy 10 Springboks 32
79 mins: The Boks run their last attack of the game as the ball is passed out wide to JP Pietersen. The wing puts a chip through, but his grubber goes into touch and the referee blows the final whistle. The Boks look relieved after returrning to winning ways. The Boks win 32-10!
73 mins: Springbok try! From a 22m lineout, Du Preez finds a hole in Italy's defensive line after fooling the home side with a dummy. 5m from the line, the No 9 offloads the ball to replacement centre Wynand Olivier on his outside and he dives over for the Boks' fourth try. Ruan Pienaar adds the two points. 32-10 to the Boks!
71 mins: With the front row of BJ Botha, Smit and Beast on the field, the Boks win their first battle at the scrum as the Italians are driven back and penalised.
64 mins: Steyn restores the Boks' 15-point lead by kicking his second penalty. 25-10 to the Boks!
58 mins: John Smit is penalised at the breakdown after competing for the ball off his feet. This allows Gower to kick Italy's first points of the second stanza. 22-10 to the Boks!
52 mins: Springbok try! Good continuity and hands from the Boks creates a try-scoring opportunity. Danie Rossouw offloads to Fourie, who passes to Habana and the wing cuts inside. He then passes the ball to the unmarked Fourie Du Preez and the scrumhalf makes good run to the try line to beat the Italian's cover defence. Steyn kicks the conversion over. 22-7 to the Boks!
48 mins: The Boks' forwards are penalised at the scrum once again as the Italians clearly have the upper hand, but McLean's woes with the boot continues and the No 15 puts his attempt wide. Italy would have been ahead if they had a more accurate kicker.
46 mins: Italy's ill-discipline at the breakdown gives Steyn an opportunity to kick the first points of the second half. The pivot slots the penalty and adds three points to the Boks' score. 15-7 to the Boks!
42 mins: There's early worries for the Boks as Italy steal the visitor's put in to the scrum. Italy's dominance at the scrum continues as the Boks concede a free kick in their second attempt a few minutes later.
Half-time: Italy 7 Springboks 12
39 mins: The Boks get a penalty on the stroke of half-time. Steyn kicks a good attempt but the pivots fails to hit the target. This proves to be the last action of the first stanza.
37 mins: The Boks lack composure in attack as they drop the ball behind on two consecutive backline moves. This sees Italy steal momentum and results in a penalty awarded to the home side. Fullback Luke McLean, however, misses his first attempt and lets the visitors off the hook.
32 mins: Italy try! From a lineout in the Boks' 22, the Italians gain a few metres towards the try line. The home side then pass the ball through the backline and good interplay in the midfield sees centre Gonzalo Garcia cut the Boks' defence and scores underneath the goal posts. Craig Gower slots the conversion. 12-7 to the Boks!
25 mins: The Italians spark an attack and break into the Boks' 22. Italy find themselves 5m from the Boks' try line, but master poacher Heinrich Brussow makes a crucial steal and Steyn manages to clear the ball.
22 mins: The Boks' pack held their own in the first scrum in the 20th minute, but are out-scrummed and penalised in the second two minutes later. The home crowd roar as they see the Italians dominate the Bok heavies.
14 mins: Springbok try! The Boks steal possession and set up a counter attack. The ball is passed through the hands to Habana, who draws in two defenders on the sideline and puts Jaque Fourie into a gap. The centre touches down under the posts and Steyn adds the extras. 12-0 to the Boks!
5 mins: Springbok try! Ryan Kankowski beats one defender and makes a good step to penetrate the Italy's defence. The flank then offloads to Bryan Habana and the speedster puts on the gas and has a clear run for the first try in the corner. 5-0 to the Boks!
3 mins: The Boks have the chance to score the first points of the match as the Italians are penalised for a late challenge, but Steyn's attempt hits the post.
1 min: It's a good, high kickoff from Morne Steyn and the Italians let it bounce. Once the ball is recovered by the home side, the Boks' manage to force Italy out into touch on the 22m line.
Italy – 15 Luke McLean, 14 Matteo Pratichetti, 13 Alberto Sgarbi, 12 Gonzalo Garcia, 11 Mirco Bergamasco, 10 Craig Gower, 9 Simon Picone; 8 Sergio Parisse (c), 7 Alessandro Zanni, 6 Simone Favaro, 5 Quintin Geldenhuys, 4 Carlo Antonio Del Fava, 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 Fabio Ongaro, 1 Salvatore Perugini.

LeapFrog outs the Wii and Kinect-inspired LeapTV games console for kids
By Simon Crisp
July 20, 2014
Following on from its LeapPad tablets, LeapFrog is introducing the LeapTV games console specifically for younger kids. The new system is designed to encourage learning through active play, and will have access to a library of over 100 educational titles.
Aimed at 3-8 year-olds, the LeapTV has been designed to be easy to control. It uses a simple UI and audio instructions (for those who haven't mastered reading yet) along with a combination of a Kinect-esque motion-sensing camera and Wii-like motion controllers to put children into the games. This allows three modes of play, Body Motion, Pointer Play, and Classic Controller.
In Body Motion mode, the motion-sensing camera incorporates a child's movement into the game as they dance, jump and kick. Pointer Play games use motion controllers and their LED pointers to convert movement into gameplay, similar to the Wii. Meanwhile, in Classic Controller mode the transforming controller is folded to resemble a more traditional games controller with an analogue stick and buttons.
The LeapFrog LeapTV, connects to a TV via HDMI, and is capable of outputting HD 720p footage. The motion-sensing camera attaches via USB and the motion controllers use Bluetooth. While the console can use game cartridges, it also boasts 16 GB of internal storage, along with Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port, for downloading games and apps from the LeapFrog Learning Library, which is where most of the 100-plus games will be found.
This brings us onto the game selection. While users shouldn't expect to play the likes of Mario Kart 8 on the LeapTV, there will be faces and brands familiar to anyone under the age of seven, and their parents. That's because many of the educator-approved games use characters like Disney's Sofia the First and Jake, of Never Land Pirates fame. There will also be games featuring the gang from Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Spiderman and LeapFrog's own library of characters.
The main focus of LeapTV games is the educational element. That could mean gamers using movement in sports games to answer maths questions, or controlling characters while learning about reading or science. LeapFrog says the games can be set to offer children the right level of challenge for their age or level, and will then automatically adjust as they get better.
The LeapTV system will be available later this year (in time for lists to Santa) for a price of US$150. Game cartridges will set you back $30, while downloadable games and apps start at $5.
You can check out the LeapTV in the promotional video below.

My kids have had a few "educational consoles" given as gifts. They always get very little use. Kids just want to play the Wii or Kinect (or etc.). Since the "educational consoles" and games are in the same price range, there's no reason to not just get the kids the real thing. It isn't going to teach your child anything if they don't use it.Amanda Matthews
It's probably better to develop games and controllers for the normal gaming systems, but then I guess you lose money on the licensing fees.MK23666
