Sarah Adleta, 29-year-old mother from Oviedo, Florida, was sentenced to 54 years in federal prison for sexually abusing her children and making child pornograpahy. U.S. District Judge Roy B. Dalton Jr. said the case was among the most "horrific" he has seen. Adleta pleaded guilty to two charges in May and testified against her ex-husband 25-year-old former Marine officer Jonathan Adleta during his trial last month. Prosecutors said Sarah and Jonathan Adleta made having sex with their two children a part of their parenting plan, and even after they divorced, the abuse continued. [Read more]

Financial Services
Financial services are a high demand service for many individuals for several reasons. There are several services such as currency trading or Forex trading, as well as lending and advice that is needed quite often for successful management of assets, business, and other activities that are common in life. Anything from attending school to purchasing a home requires sufficient financial services in order to adequately obtain the appropriate loans and funding that will provide the money you need with the rates and repayment schedule that is appropriate for you.
When seeking these services, there are many companies out there that charge a great deal in commission fees alone from initial fees to the ongoing fees that continue after you have chosen your services and have gotten the funding or trading options you were seeking.
Around 1970, Forex trading came through as a free exchange service that required no commissions to be charged in order to provide the services. There are many individuals that take advantage of these commission free Forex trading, working through the market with great benefits and earning potential. There are also other commission free services offered, including Direct lending, Consumer lending and Small business lending. Often times just seeking these services can be a costly venture with a company referring you to a lender and then charging you extreme fees for commission costs that are accrued by these companies merely giving you advice. This advice is severely compromised due to the fact that they are seeking to sell you to a lender, not really match you with the best. There could be a much better lender that isn?t referred if the company is not working in network with the lender and won?t earn the commission from selling you to them.
Getting commission free financial services not only saves you a great deal of money, but also assists you in getting only the most appropriate advice and services for you possible. The amount of savings can be hundreds or even thousands, and the difference in getting the most appropriate services to you and getting the most appropriate services to benefit the financial service provider is quite great.

CHIPLEY — The Washington County Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing Thursday to discuss proposed changes to the Land Development Code that would apply term limits to the county planning commissioners.
The proposal would also change the requirements for advertising planning commission vacancies, Senior Planner Mike DeRuntz told the commissioners.
"Resident Miles Anderson has proposed amending Land Development Code Section 9.02.04 Membership and Section 9.02.05 Terms of Membership of the Planning Commission," DeRuntz explained. "He collaborated with Commissioner Alan Bush, County Coordinator David Corbin, and myself on the current form of the amendment."
The proposals would limit any planning commissioner to a total of an eight-year term, including non-consecutive years of service. The term limitation would be retroactive, and a 10-year span is recommended between eight-year terms.
The proposed changes would also require vacancies on the planning commission be announced in a BOCC meeting, then advertised and posted for at least 30 days prior to a vote on a new commissioner's appointment.
The proposals also require commissioners to be considered employees of the county, to fill out an application with the county each year and to have background checks performed on them.
Commissioner Todd Abbott asked DeRuntz what concerns he had about the proposed changes.
"I believe the time needed for getting a new person up to speed on the planning commission takes time," DeRuntz said. "With term limits, we would be losing that institutional knowledge every eight years."
DeRuntz also said he thought the 10-year span between service was excessive.
"We have criteria for selecting board members in place," DeRuntz said. "If the board doesn't feel as if that criteria is working, they can certainly change it."
Currently, county planning commissioners serve to represent the district of the county in which they live, and their terms run concurrent with the county commissioner who represents their district.
"I came before the board several months ago to address this problem with the planning commission," Anderson said. "It wasn't just me who worked on this proposed legislation, it was also Mr. Bush, Mr. DeRuntz and Mr. Corbin."
Anderson said he appreciated Corbin's assistance and his willingness to address problems. "Thank you, Mr. Corbin, for rising up and dealing with the issues."
"I felt during our meeting that you were in favor of these proposals," Anderson told the commissioners. Anderson said he had been mistreated by the planning commission earlier this year when he was seeking a zoning change for a property that was under consideration as a potential new location for the AmVets lodge.
He had gone before the board to discuss his concerns, and the outcome of those discussions had been the work to limit the terms of the planning commissioners.
Anderson also said that there are no African-American planning commissioners, which means that a portion of the county population is not being represented properly.
The planning commission makes recommendations to the county commissioners, which are usually approved by the board with little discussion or dissent, Anderson said.
"I don't know that this board has ever not approved a recommendation by the planning commission, which is amazing," Anderson said. "Normally, the five of you can't even agree on what day it is."
He thanked the board for allowing him to participate in drafting the proposed code changes. "I appreciate you going through the process and allowing the public to participate," Anderson said.
Planning Commissioner Jim Ackerman told the board he would prefer not to be considered an employee of the county, but if he were to be so considered, he would like to have the same benefits as other employees such as health insurance.
"If we are supposed to be employees, tell us what parts of the 83-page employee handbook apply to us," Ackerman said. "I do think the Conflict of Interest section should apply to the planning commission."
If the planning commissioners are not behaving in a respectful manner, the BOCC has the ability to correct that now, Ackerman said.
Finding volunteers to serve on the planning commission is not always easy, Ackerman added. "We have gone six months without members, and sometimes we wouldn't even have a quorum."
"I think we have been negligent in the past, but now that it has come to light, I think we are more prepared to have discussions on the planning commission selection process and term-limits," Abbott said.
"There are term limits right now," DeRuntz said. "The planning commissioners serve four-year terms that correlate with the term of the county commissioner they represent."
Typically the planning commissioners are reappointed when the commissioners are re-elected.
Resident Jim Town suggested the board consider off-setting the terms of the planning commissioners and the county commissioners by a year.
"That way, if you have a new county commissioner, he has a year of experience when the time comes to make the reappointment. I would suspect that a new commissioner has a different perspective on things after having served on the board for 12 months," Town said.
The second and final public hearing on the proposed changes will take place at 9 a.m. during the Oct. 24 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners.

My smile - finding a streamable episode 1 of Red Dwarf X available to the USA and finding the boys have their old magic back (yes yes, I know others have said so, but it's not true until one sees for oneself). Probably an copyright infringement upload, but it persuaded me to pre-order from Amazon UK - LOVE my all-region DVD player, I do. Thanksgiving is now going to be much improved,

Guess who's spent several back breaking hours on the floor in their room sorting through the pieces so she can build them.

Hannspree HANNSpad
Affordable, durable, big screen, easy to use, good multimedia support
No Android Market, poor viewing angle, doens't differ from existing budget rivals, no camera
Tablets may be the gadget of the moment, but their relatively high prices still put them out of reach for many tech fans who simply can't spare the funds for what is, essentially, a toy for grown-ups. Even those that turn their noses up at Apple products because of their notoriously steep price tags will have noticed most of the top-tier Android tablets are just as pricey if not more so. That's why is nice to see Hannspree - best known for its PC monitors and novelty TVs - offering a reasonably priced Android-based option for just £250.
The Hannspree HANNSpad sports a 10.1-inch screen that puts it up there with tablets such as the Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, in terms of display size at least. Measuring in at 260 x 171 x 13.9mm, the HANNSpad is a slightly chunky beast, so it is no surprise that in tips the scales at 750g. However, to be fair, it's only marginally heavier than the Xoom so we can't make it down too heavily. It may be a minor point, but the power adaptor is also rather on the heavy side.
The fascia itself is glossy black, with a silver trim that bleeds round to the edges of the device. Needless to say, the shiny black portion (along with the screen) is something of a fingerprint magnet, but then that's pretty much the same for most tablets. The slick aesthetics don't quite make it round to the back of the chassis, which is made from black plastic, unlike some of the fancier models around.
The device is clearly designed to be used for the majority of the time in landscape mode, as hinted at by the Hannspree logo along the longer edge. It will automatically switch to portrait mode when tipped, although the fact that the border along one side of the screen is bigger than that on the other side makes it slightly distracting as it makes it feel as though the tablet isn't designed to be viewed this way. You can turn off the auto-rotate in the settings menu if it bothers you.
Naturally, most of the fascia is taken up with the screen, but you'll also find the familiar Android-themed Home, Menu and Back touch-senstitive controls on the upper right of the display. These are well placed for navigating around the menus and for web browsing as they're located where your thumb naturally sits when holding the tablet. However, we did find that we accidentally knocked the home button a few times when holding the tablet to watch videos. At the bottom left of the screen are indicators for power and charge (red during charging and green when fully charged), along with a Wi-Fi indicator. The power button is logically placed on the right of the top edge of the tablet, while the volume up and down controls are over on the left-hand side.
In terms of connections - the HANNSpad is fairly well equipped, and features a Mini-USB, mini-HDMI (with 1080p support), along with the obvious power and headphone ports - all located down the left-hand edge. There's also a microSD slot next to the power jack, so that you can top up the on-board memory. There's no 3G support, so this is a Wi-Fi-only device, albeit with Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity.
Like a number of other budget (and non-budget devices) the HANNSpad is powered by a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 1GHz CPU, along with 512MB of RAM. Operation is generally speedy, although there was a slight delay in loading up pages when browsing the web. Other than that, surfing the Internet is a fuss-free affair, and the multi-touch support means than you can easily pinch-zoom pages for easy reading.
The HANNSpad has 16GB of built-in storage, which isn't a bad basic offering and will be more than enough for a lot of users. However, if you intend to store a lot of multimedia files, then you might want to upgrade the memory. Like most other Android tablets running Froyo, Hannspree's device offers expandable memory up to 32GB, via microSD card.
The HANNSpad has no camera capability whatsoever, so if you want a tablet to use for video calling then this is probably the end of the line for you. If taking snaps and video with a tablet doesn't bother you, then obviously this won't be a deal-breaker.
A Froyo affair
If you're expecting to find the tablet-centric Honeycomb version of Android, then you'll be disappointed. Hannspree's tablet runs on the decidedly smartphone-flavoured Android Froyo (2.2). There won't be a Android 3.0 update for the HANNSpad, but Hannspree is set to launch a new, Honeycomb-flavoured, version around September.
In the meantime, the HANNSpad doesn't offer the the familiar customisable Android homescreens as Google's OS is pretty much hidden by an overlay of the Tap UI, previously used by ViewSonic on its ViewPad 10s. It's fairly basic, but is well suited to tablet use and makes navigating around the settings menus nice and simple. The screen is pretty responsive and although not quite as instant as some of the more expensive tablets around, it's decent enough not to be annoyingly sluggish.
It's also worth noting that the browser supports Adobe Flash, an advantage that Android has over its biggest rival, iOS. The QWERTY keyboard is also a nice thought - it uses the whole width of the screen so it's comparable in size to a netbook. However, it's split into two halves for some reason and is pretty difficult to type on. It's ok for tapping in a URL (although we had to use the delete button quite a bit), but you'd need to have the patience of a saint to type out a full document on it.
Home screen
The home screen has a basic array of functions - you'll find all the usual suspects along the bottom of the screen, including icons for News, Web, Clock, Contacts, Mail, Photos, Music and Video. The News app works particularly well, offering a selection of headlines from a wide variety of sources, such as Reuters, The Financial Times, BBC, The Telegraph, Wall Street Journal and Al Jazeera. Clicking on each headline will bring up a page from the source's website, then you can skip straight back to the headline round-up or continue browing around your chosen website.
There's also a To-Do list icon (self explanatory) along with a Grocery icon that will let you create and store shopping lists. Other apps include the Libreka! ebook store (pre-loaded with a copy of Robinson Crusoe) which displays your books on a virtual wooden bookshelf, similar to Apple's iBooks, although most of the content itself was in German, so of limited appeal. You'll also find ES File Explorer - a handy place for accessing the files that you've got stored on the built-in memory and on your memory card. It's a logical folder-based widget that's easy to use, although why Hannspree has chosen a background image of Father Christmas and his sleigh in the night sky, we may never know. You'll also find that Angry Birds has thoughtfully been pre-loaded for you.
However, one huge disadvantage of the HANNSpad is the lack of access to Android Market, as is often the case with these budget tablets. Instead you'll find the rather lacklustre App Center, which offers a ring-fenced selection of apps - both free and paid-for. We tried to search for a random selection of well-known Android apps and couldn't find many of them at all. We also found that several apps that we downloaded failed to install, while Tweetdeck was installed but crashed as soon as we tried to open it. Having said that, we did manage to successfully install some apps including Twitter client Plume.
The tablet lets you create up to six different user accounts for different members of the family, although these are very limited. It doesn't even let you log in under different passwords, making the concept of separate profiles a bit of a nonsense.
The 10.1-inch screen sports a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels (117ppi) which isn't that much lower than what's offered by the likes of the iPad 2, although it's still not quite up to the same standard and it's also lower than the resolutions offered by the other 10.1-inchers from Motorola and Samsung.
Viewing the screen straight-on offers a decent picture although images do tend to look a tad soft, particularly on high-def footage. Although the quality of the screen isn't fantastic, but it's more than good enough to watch a film or catch up on some TV. However, the viewing angle isn't very wide at all and we found that moving even slightly to the side has a relatively dramatic affect on the picture quality.
The audio offered by the built-in speaker in the back of the chassis is pretty lame and it sounds very tinny if you crank the volume up. When watching videos, we switched to headphones, where the audio performance is much better and easily good enough to enjoy sitting through a TV programme or film. The HANNSpad supports a selection of video files comprising WMV, MOV, MPEG1, MPEG4/ H.264. Along with video files, the tablet also supports JPEG, PNG, GIF and BMP photo files as well as MP3, MPEG1 and WMA audio formats.
The HANNSpad features a 3650mAh battery that is quoted as offering around 8 hours of running time. It's not quite up to the 10-hour mark set by the iPad, but it's still a considerable time for a budget tablet and puts it way ahead of HTC's Flyer and its rather paltry 4 hours.
Overall, the Hannpree HANNSpad isn't a bad tablet, especially considering its budget price tag. The screen is a decent size, and while the quality isn't perfect, it's certainly good enough for watching a films. However, there are a number of niggles that could put you off buying Hannspree's tablet. Along with the lack of Android Market, there's also the absense of any kind of camera, along with the limited viewing angle from the screen, so it doesn't really progress on any number of existing budget devices we've seen.
If you want a tablet for web browsing, checking the odd email, tweeting or watching videos then the HANNSpad is a great choice, especially if you haven't got a massive amount of cash at hand. However, if it's apps and a slick, well-rounded tablet that you're after then you might want to look elsewhere and the extra investment needed for a Honeycomb tablet would serve you well.

Ruled by the Zamorin dynasty, Kozhikode found a place in history with the discovery of the sea route to India in 1498 by the Portuguese navigator Vasco Da Gama. The landing of Gama at Kapat near Kozhikode changed the political scene of India, and ultimately ended with the colonisation of the country by the British. Kozhikode remained under the Madras presidency till the formation of Kerala in 1956 after independence.
An industrially developed district, Kozhikode has several large, medium and small-scale and traditional industries. Some of the more important large and medium scale industries are textiles, rayon, grade pulp, soap and cosmetics, oil, wheat flour, steel products, tiles, sea food processing, allopathic medicines etc. The timber industry has a great influence on the economy of this district. Agriculture, however is the mainstay of district's economy. The main crops grown are coffee, tea, rubber, pepper, coconut, arecanut, tapioca, sugar cane etc.
With the rich culture and glances into history that the city offers, Kozhikode is an ideal holiday getaway. The Kozhikode district has a fair share of greenery and natural beauty. And with the Arabian sea on its west and the impressive peaks of the Wayanad hills on the east, Kozhikode offers a perfectly idyllic setting, guaranteed to fascinate a visitor.
Calicut has gone back to being referred to as Kozhikode
Population: Approx 4,50,000
Climate: Kozhikode enjoys a tropical climate. Summers are warm, monsoons humid, and winters are pleasantly cool. The monsoon season starts early June and goes on till the beginning of October.

Rice is the staple food and appams (fermented rice cakes) are another popular dish here. Vegetarians use mango and jackfruit to make curry. Coconut also remains an important constituent of all Keralite cuisine.

Showcasing the work of four internationally known artists, "Negotiating Distance: A Neon Invitational" presents a collection of large-scale neon sculptures and installations that
engage the viewer in a dynamic experience of contemporary neon. The artists
include: Hiromi Takizawa, Alicia Eggert, Sarah Blood and Fred Tschida. All four artists deal with the idea of
distance in equally diverse and meaningful ways. Takizawa addresses a sense of
place and her childhood spent in the natural world of Japan. Eggert's work focuses on the relationship
between language, image and time. Blood employs objects to activate the
viewer's memory and comments on the human condition. Tschida explores natural phenomena and
creates volumes in space using light and time.
Takizawa has exhibited internationally
including a solo show at Heller Gallery in New York. She was the youngest artist included in Glass
Quarterly's "50 at 50," a list of the top fifty artists using glass that will
lead the field into the next century. Eggert received the 2014 Individual Artist Fellowship from the
Maine Arts Commission and is a 2013 TED Fellow. Blood is an assistant professor at Alfred University teaching neon
and glass, and has recently exhibited in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and the United States. Tschida was recently named the 2014
Libensky/Brychtova Award recipient from Pilchuck Glass School, which
acknowledges extraordinary talent and high achievement in the world of glass
and educational leadership.

Artaria Editions was founded in 1995 to bring the music of the Viennese eighteenth century back to life. The beautiful and fascinating repertoire from the age of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven enlarges our concept of the period and performers will welcome these new ideas from the Classical era that will appeal to audiences looking for something new but familiar.
Artaria's publications are changing fundamental perceptions about music of the late eighteenth century, particularly due to our work with Naxos, the world's leading classical music label. For the first time in centuries, it is possible to read the score and hear the music that influenced the greatest composers of the era. From being relegated to the footnotes of music history, music by composers such as Beck, Dussek, Hofmann, and Wanhal is now returning to the air. Performances of Artaria editions increase yearly.
Leading Classical scholars have prepared practical editions of the most important works of the era and you can purchase scores, parts, and recordings from this website.
|***New Recordings
Beck Symphonies, Vols. 3 & 4
We are happy to announce a release of 2 volumes of Beck symphonies albums.

Physical copies of the albums can be purchased from our website along with the scores. Digital download is also available from Classics Online.
Devienne Flute Concertos, Nos. 1-4
The first volume of Flute Concerto Nos. 1-4 from François Devienne has been released in November 2014. François Devienne was the founder of the French flute school and is one of the most important composers of wind music in the second half of 18th century. The works in this album are performed by internationally acclaimed flutist and conductor Patrick Gallois with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Saya Very cute and comfy shoes! Love them since first tried. True to size and fit beautifully. Easy to walk around with. Not too high and not too low...Just right!!! February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by OCgirl Marvelous!! These wedges are extremely comfortable and true to size. I wear size 7 and they fit like a glove. No blisters or any pain when first worn them. Leather quality is superb and the leather logo makes it elegant and discreet. Worth every penny. November 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by tyw293 Pinched my toe These are just the perfect height and very stylish. I was hoping to mix it up by getting this peep toe version ( I LOVE my tan closed toe sally wedge in pebbled leather). Sadly, my right big toe rubbed up against the peep toe edge in just the wrong place so I had to return these. I'm hoping the closed toe version will come out in black again!! November 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KatV Perfect Touch of Class I work at a technology company and the dress code is a little more on the casual side. It was a struggle for me to transition my wardrobe after working for a few years in an industry that required more business casual attire. Sometimes I miss my old job just because I got the chance to dress up everyday. Having shoes like these enables me to express myself in a more casual environment. They're not too loud, but still bring that little touch of class to any casual ensemble, allowing me to feel that I'm expressing myself. :) I also spend a good amount of time on my feet, and these shoes truly are so comfortable! They are the first pair of TB shoes I have purchased that were true to size. I typically have to get them stretched or get a size larger because I have wider feet, but these actually fit me perfectly. Beautiful quality, I love these shoes! October 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MMSatlanta Love them! So comfortable! I travel a lot so these are great to run through the airport in. October 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Victoria411 TB Shoe Sizing is Frustrating... I really wish TB sizing wasn't all over the place. I have flats, sandals, boots and wedges and they're all various sizes ranging from 6.5 to 7.5. It's very frustrating since there's no TB store where I live & only one local shop carries the brand and their selection is pitiful. I got these in a 7 & the 6.5 was probably a better fit. This didn't register until the end of the day, after I had worn them to work so no return is possible at this point. So disappointed...yet again. June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JamieK 'I feel my feet are in heaven' I bought the shoes for a friend. She loves them and feels her feet are in heaven! September 24, 2013

The commission wants the secondary water source in case a hurricane or widespread flooding caused saltwater intrusion in lower
In fiscal year 2012, the wholesale water system fund showed a net gain of $4.6 million. Its strength can be attributed to a water-rate increase dating back to 2007. Wholesale water rates saw a significant rate hike that year, increasing from 90 cents to $1.45 per 1,000 gallons.
"It is strong," said Joey Rogers, the clerk of court's finance officer, about the fund. "That healthy rate increase is doing what it was supposed to do."
The surplus from the rate increase was meant to fund capital-improvement projects.
By way of comparison,
"It was noted that the wholesale fund was very healthy and doing better since it had its rate increase," he said.
Nelson's concerns
Commissioner Mike Nelson, however, expressed concern about the project's financial impact. He's most worried about the $5 million the county is expecting from the Northwest Florida Water Management District for the project.
The water management district pledged that amount when the county planned to drill wells as its secondary water source. That money will likely be rolled over to this project, but there's no guarantee.
"I'd just like to get a little more assurance from them that they're going to step up to the plate and help," Nelson said. "That's it in a nutshell really. That's the biggest thing that's bothering me."
Nelson said if county staff felt comfortable with the project and the district guaranteed the $5 million in writing he would be satisfied.
But the county hasn't submitted any definite plans to the water management district. It wouldn't necessarily need to be a full engineering design, but at least some specifics on what the project would entail, said Lauren Engel, spokeswoman, water management district.
"An amount of money that large ($5 million) would have to be approved by the board," she said, noting it would need to see a plan first to make sure the money was justified.
Commissioner Mike Thomas said the district has stood by the
"If they're not good for it, it's not going to make any difference if we have it in writing," he said. "If they're not good for it, they're not good for it."
Thomas said the county's been preparing for this project for years, and it's financially doable.
"We've got the money. We've got ample money to start it," he said.
Thomas also said the water management district has
"There's a lot of money out there, both cheap money and grant money when you start messing with water and sewer projects," he said.
Thomas pushed hard to award the contract at last week's commission meeting and was not pleased to be overridden 3-2. Now he's most adamant that the project should not be delayed or, as he put it, "drug around."
"Everybody's got opinions, mine is we should move forward," he said.
$1.5 million set aside
"We figure by this time next year we would have close to $3 million to put at (the project)," he said.
Shaw said the wholesale water rate hike was not done exclusively for this project, but for several projects, this one included.
Shaw said this project should be viewed as a continuation of the well fields. The same way it intended to pay for the wells through bonds; it will likely do the same in this scenario.
"We're just continuing on that path," he said.
Now the commission is slated to award the design-build contract in June. If all aspects of the project get on track — permitting, engineering, financing and transfer of land — then it could be finished within five years, Shaw said.
"But there's a lot of ifs along the way," he said.
Shaw also said he didn't think there would be any problem if the
Expanded to five
Nelson also proposed this week to expand the pool of firms competing for the contract from three to five. The move puts the only locally headquartered company — Phoenix Construction Services Inc. of Lynn Haven — back in the running. County staff had scored the firm second-lowest out of five.
Nelson said none of the firms had pressured him for the contract.
"I sort of thought I would (get pressure) about a week or so ago, but I've not heard from anybody," he said, noting the request for qualifications forbids firms from contacting commissioners.
Nelson said he felt "more comfortable" with all five firms vying for the contract and making presentations to the commission in June. And he's confident the county will get its secondary water source without
"I think it will work out. I just want someone to tell me it's going to work out, you know, so I'm going to try to talk with the water management district next week," he said last week.

Rodriguez the Sugar Man live in Cape Town: Photos and Video
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
It's a Cold Fact, Rodriguez fans: the legend himself rocked the Grand Arena at the Grand West Casino and Entertainment World in Cape Town on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 February, 2013.
The first in a series of comeback concerts planned for 70-year-old Sixto Rodriguez, following the phenomenal success of his Academy Award-nominated and 2013 British Academy of Film and Television Arts award-winning documentary, Searching for Sugar Man, which was partly shot in sunny Cape Town, this weekend's performances once again established just why this unassuming singer is such a fantastic performer.
Singing along to some of Rodriguez's greatest hits including I Wonder, Inner City Blues, I'll Slip Away and more, the rapt audiences just couldn't get enough of the mysterious recording artist. Some ardent fans took to social media platforms to quote the quirky sayings of their idol:
"Best Rodriguez quote for me? After singing "I wonder", he said to us "I DO wonder – but I really don't wanna know!" #RodriguezCPT" – Pearl Gaitskill @pearlgaitskill
Tickets for the concerts on Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21 February, 2013 are available at Computicket.
Check out the video and images of the Rodriguez's concerts in Cape Town below:

PANAMA CITY BEACH — James Gladney had plans tonight.
His birthday was last month, and he planned to get together Tuesday night with his close friends for "a family dinner," said Billy Tucker, who wasn't the only person to describe Gladney as his brother.
"That's all he wanted for his birthday was spaghetti," Tucker said. "He was a really easy-to-please person. There wasn't much he didn't like."
Gladney was known by several nicknames, but the people who knew him best called him "Bam Bam," a nickname from his rambunctious youth that followed him until his death Sunday night.
Gladney was a pedestrian on Joan Avenue when he was hit by truck and killed. He had turned 37 last month. He never got that spaghetti dinner with Tucker, his fiancé Vonda Brannen and the rest of their friends. The driver of the truck, 27-year-old William Rhodes, has been charged with driving under the influence in the wake of the crash.
"I'm sure everybody in town knows James," said Rick Senner, who hired Gladney 20 years ago and still employed him as a busser and dishwasher at Sweet Basil's Bistro.
On Sunday afternoon, Gladney, who friends said never had a driver's license and walked or rode a bike whenever he couldn't catch a ride, sat with Jeff Lashbrook, his Sweet Basil's co-worker, to watch the 49ers play the Falcons.
"He was rooting for the 49ers, because, you know, west coast team," Lashbrook said.
Friends said Gladney spent his early years in California, which is where Tucker met him. When he was a boy, he was shot by an errant bullet fired in a drive-by shooting while playing basketball in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angles, Tucker said. Gladney survived, but his cousin was killed. Gladney's family moved to Florida not long after the shooting, friends said.
After the football game, he left Lashbrook's place on foot toward the house where he stayed with Jason Hardee, who also called Gladney his brother. Gladney most likely would've enjoyed the match up in the Super Bowl this year, had he lived long enough to see it.
"He loved basketball. He loved the Lakers," Hardee said. "His favorite team was the Baltimore Ravens."
Gladney had been a little down on his luck recently. Senner thought he might have been homeless, but Hardee said that wasn't the case.
"Everywhere I moved I took him with me," Hardee said.
Lots of friends said Gladney relied on them for support. Senner gave him clothes and money so often "he was like one of my kids." Tucker and Brannen took him to their home for a time, and Tucker would often stop in with a burrito and a Pepsi to eat with his friend. That was all he needed.
"It was hard to get him down," Tucker said. "Even when he didn't have nothing he was smiling."
Many of Gladney's friends described him as slow, perhaps as a result of some unknown mental disability, but Tucker and Brannen said that "he was all-there." What people perceived as slowness was probably due to Gladney's demeanor.
"He was a mellow, laid back guy," Tucker said.
An earlier version of this story is below:
PANAMA CITY BEACH — Authorities have identified the pedestrian killed Sunday night, and a DUI charge has been filed against the driver.
According to a Florida Highway report, James Gladney, 37, of Panama City Beach, was crossing Joan Avenue when a 1994 Dodge pickup struck and killed him.
The driver of the pickup, William Scott Rhodes, 27, of Panama City, was traveling north on Joan Avenue. Gladney was in the northbound lane of Joan Avenue, near the edge of the roadway. The right front of the pickup struck Gladney, projecting his body to the intersection of Joan Avenue and Houston Street where it came to a rest.
Florida Highway Patrol was dispatched to the scene at 6:13 p.m.
Rhodes was charged with DUI on the scene and booked into the Bay County Jail, according to authorities.

Kosher Side Dishes
|Steamed Cauliflower with a Spicy Tomato Sauce
Adapted from 5 Spices, 50 Dishes: Simple Indian Recipes Using Five Common Spices by Ruta Kahate
Easy to prepare, the presentation is quite impressive, and it's tasty as well.
2 small heads of cauliflower (about 1 pound 12 ounces)
Remove any leaves and cut off the tough stem parts of the cauliflower. Place the heads in a saucepan large enough to hold them comfortably, with the water and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and simmer until the cauliflower is crisps-tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep warm while you make the sauce.
Roast the spices: Heat a small skillet over low heat and roast the cumin seeds until dark and fragrant. Remove the cumin form the pan and set aside to cool. Now add the coriander seeds and slowly roast them until dark drown. Be careful not to burn the spices. When the coriander seeds have also cooled, grind* both of them and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture turns golden brown. This will happen quickly, so be careful it doesn't burn. Crush the tomatoes with your hands and add them to the pan along with all the juices. When the tomatoes come to a boil, stir in the chile, cayenne, cumin, coriander, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Lower the heat and simmer the sauce until the tomatoes are well cooked, about 8 minutes. You will be able to tell by the fact that the oil will start to separate from the sauce. Add the cilantro and simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes to heat through.
Place the warm whole cauliflower on a platter, pour the sauce over the top, and serve immediately.
Yield: serves 4 - 6
*We use an Emile Henry 5-1/2 inch Mortar and Pestle Set to grind the seeds. Use a ginger grater for the garlic and ginger.

Thousands help to paint Workington red at second festival
Last updated at 13:07, Monday, 21 May 2012
Every colour of the rainbow could be seen in Workington on Saturday but one in particular provided the focus as the town enjoyed its second Paint the Town Red festival.
A Chinese dragon, carnival band and stilt walkers were among the attractions that ensured this was no ordinary weekend in west Cumbria.
Official numbers of visitors to the free town centre festivities are not yet known but organisers believe the crowds may have topped the 2008 event, which attracted more than 47,000 people.
Raising money for Hospice at Home West Cumbria, the festival provided something for every age and interest, with more than 60 attractions.
They ranged from highlights like Strictly Come Dancing stars Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova and stunt driver Russ Swift to zorb balls for youngsters and an exhibition of historic photographs.
Spells of sunshine kept the crowds warm as they enjoyed the activities in Curwen Park, Vulcan Park and the town centre. Street entertainers and bands mingled with shoppers, while the main stage by Marks & Spencer allowed people to hear a host of bands.
Helen Irving, chairman of the organising committee, said: "It's been an excellent day. The crowds were slow in coming but once they came it was a bit of a tsunami effect."
Strictly Come Dancing stars Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova wowed the crowds at St Joseph's Catholic High School with their glittering costumes and amazing dance moves. Darren said: "It is a great pleasure for Lilia and I to be here and its is absolutely fantastic for a town of this size all coming together for one day and for a great cause."
Lilia added: "We have never been to the Lake District before so we are looking forward to seeing the town and taking in the atmosphere."
Two 'East meets West' cookery demonstrations in Emmanuel Church gave people a chance to try some Malaysian dishes cooked using Cumbrian ingredients.
Local food champion Annette Gibbons, of Mawbray, and Malaysian Rotarian Patricia Vitialingam created a feast of culinary delights for the audience, helped by food technology pupils from St Joseph's Catholic High School.
TV stunt driver Russ took to a Suzuki Swift from J Edgar and Son to show off his tricks.
Using two Minis as props, he wowed the crowds with high-speed turning parallel parks and J-turns.
David Scott, 23, of Thomas Road, Salterbeck, was invited to sit in the boot of the front Mini and watch the action close up. He said: "It was just like a movie."
A Positive Opportunities at the Weekend in Workington camp for youngsters was co-ordinated by Sgt Richard Farnworth of Cumbria policeand featured a climbing wall, paint ball, sports and a battle of the bands.
Fairground rides, miniature double decker bus rides and ride-on trains kept tots amused, while older children enjoyed activities from zorbing to finding out about physics with a fun science stand.
Barry Minshaw, 43, of Frostoms Road, attended with his wife Annette and six-year-old son Nathan. He said: "It's a good festival. There seems a lot for children to do."
Among the new attractions this year was a beer tent, stocked by Seaton's Mitchell Krause Brewery, which proved popular along with the range of local food stalls.
In Curwen Park local talent took centre stage at the Red Raw Talent Show. Singers and dancers went all out to impress the judges – music teacher Mike Milner, dance school principal Natalie Smith and drummer Paul Knowles.
Eleven-year-old Rianna Macdonald, of Sarsfield Road, Workington, took the first prize of £500 of Debenhams vouchers for her powerful performance of Mr Know it All by Kelly Clarkson.
Second place went to Lucie Rose, 19, of Workington, who sang Elton John's Your Song and third place went to Lindsay Brockie, of Low Hesket, who sang New York New York by Frank Sinatra.
It will be some days before the total raised is known but Helen predicts that thousands of pounds was raised.
She added: "This couldn't have happened without all the support we have had from community groups who have acted as stewards, help set it up and collected money. A big thank you needs to go out to them."

Alliance Defense Fund is now Alliance Defending Freedom
We're pleased to announce that we've changed our ministry name from Alliance Defense Fund to Alliance Defending Freedom. Our new name better communicates what you already know we
For Faith. For Justice.
Changing our name to Alliance Defending Freedom rightly reflected our enduring mission to gain justice for those whose faith has been unconstitutionally denied in the areas of religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family.
Alliance Defense Fund is now
Alliance Defending Freedom
A message from Alan Sears
Alliance Defending Freedom President, CEO, and General Counsel
By God's amazing grace, an exciting new chapter in the 19-year history of this alliance-building legal ministry has begun! After prayerful deliberations and much research, we now have a new name that effectively identifies our mission:
Alliance Defending Freedom
For Faith. For Justice.
We pray this new name will:
- open thousands of new doors for Alliance Defending Freedom, strengthen our efforts, attract additional Allied Ministry Friends, and make us even more effective at defending religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family; and
- allow us to do things this ministry has never done before — for the glory of God, and the eternal salvation of more and more people.
Alliance Defending Freedom and our hundreds of allies are continuing the crucial work envisioned by ministry leaders who launched this legal ministry in 1994. Our Founders saw the critical need to protect religious freedom from repeated attacks by the American Civil Liberties Union and its allies. Thanks to the generous support of our Allied Ministry Friends, we're winning nearly 80 percent of the court battles we've litigated to completion. With continued support, Alliance Defending Freedom and our Allied Attorneys will keep winning great victories to preserve the free exercise of religion.
Alan Sears
President, CEO, and General Counsel
Alliance Defending Freedom
Defending Freedom Since 1994
1993 Free speech and religious freedoms ravaged
The Body of Christ in America was in big trouble. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and its allies fought — many times unopposed — to crush religious expression. Without an effective battle plan, Christians were losing their history and heritage of religious freedom mostly by default.
January 31, 1994: ADF launches strike force for freedom
Christian leaders, alarmed by the legal attacks on religious freedom, launch Alliance Defense Fund with Alan Sears as president.
2 critical wins for religious liberty
1995 — ADF plays a critical role in two Supreme Court victories that set legal precedents for future victories. One affirms the right for organizations to not associate with groups with whom they disagree. The second faults universities for illegally denying funding to student activities by reason of their religious convictions.
Legal Academy established
1997 — First-ever ADF Legal Academy begins training Christian attorneys in constitutional law so they can provide pro bono/dedicated service to the Body of Christ.
Blackstone Legal Fellowship
2000 — The ADF Blackstone Legal Fellowship leadership development program trains some of the best and brightest Christian law students from across the nation.
Equal access to school property
for Christians
2001 — U.S. Supreme Court rules that middle schools must provide equal access to after-school Bible clubs to meet on school property, thanks to precedent set by ADF.
2003 — The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today, by ADF President, CEO, and General Counsel Alan Sears and Vice President of Research Craig Osten is published.
Same-sex "marriage" challenged in
San Francisco
2004 — ADF attorneys successfully challenge the illegal actions of then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom when he directs the city and county clerk to issue "marriage" licenses to same-sex couples in defiance of state law.
The ACLU vs.
2005 — The ACLU vs. America, by ADF President, CEO, and General Counsel Alan Sears and Vice President of Research Craig Osten is published.
U.S. Supreme Court affirms religious freedoms
2006 — In less than a month, the U.S. Supreme Court issues unanimous decisions affirming religious freedom in four ADF-backed cases.
Victory in
"partial-birth abortion" case
2007 — The U.S. Supreme Court upholds the federal ban on so-called "partial-birth abortions" in the ADF-backed case, Gonzales v. Carhart.
2008 — ADF launches its new magazine, Truth & Triumph.
ADF challenges
ACLU in school
tax-credit case
2011 — The U.S. Supreme Court affirms in ACSTO v. Winn, the right for parents to choose the best educational option for their children through an Arizona tuition tax credit program. This includes provision of scholarship funds to private Christian schools. The ACLU loses the right to use its "offended taxpayer" strategy to challenge such programs.
religious liberty overseas
2012 — ADF opens its European office in Vienna, Austria.
July 2012 and beyond Advancing For FAITH . . . For JUSTICE
By God's amazing grace, a brand new chapter in the 18-year history of this legal ministry begins. Alliance Defense Fund changes name to Alliance Defending Freedom. This new name and tagline will more effectively communicate our mission, strengthen our efforts, and attract like-minded Allied Ministry Friends.
Be part of Alliance Defending Freedom!

Help us continue to impact religious liberty worldwide. Ensure that your right to freely live out your faith is protected today and for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
We've included the most common questions we're receiving right here for you to peruse. If you have questions that are not answered here, please contact us.
- Q:Why make the change after so many years of building name recognition under your former name?
- A: In one word: Stewardship. We are adopting a new name, tagline, and logo to better communicate who we are and what we do, and why our work is so important. The new identity represents a tremendous opportunity and will help open up thousands of doors for our ministry, as more and more Christians are exposed to our ministry and its work.
- Q:Why did ADF change its name to Alliance Defending Freedom?
- A: Research indicated the name "Alliance Defense Fund" confused people more than it clarified what the ministry is and what it accomplishes. As an alliance-building legal ministry, we are joined by a common purpose essential to our winning strategy. This new name helps communicate who we are, our priorities, and how we go about achieving those priorities. Our new tagline — For Faith. For Justice. — is easily understood and underscores our purpose in affirming that we defend religious freedom so that faith — specifically Christianity — can freely flourish and that justice — our God-given right to freedom of religious expression — prevails.
- Q:With the new name, are you changing your mission?
- A: Our mission has not changed. Alliance Defending Freedom is still an alliance-building legal ministry encouraging Christians to come together to accomplish what none of us can do on our own: protect and defend the religious freedom that was bestowed upon us by God and secured in the U.S. Constitution. We are building an ever-stronger alliance of like-minded allies — attorneys, ministry leaders, pastors, Christian organizations, students, and other Christians — who value a life of faith lived freely and protected by just laws.
- Q:How will changing your name advance your mission and strategy?
- A: Because the new name, tagline, and logo communicate our purpose and priorities in a way that is meaningful and easily understood, the new brand identity has the opportunity to improve the reception of the ministry and its goals among diverse groups of potential supporters of the ministry. This change will also improve the communication impact and help increase stewardship of the ministry's resources.
Additionally, we must grow the awareness and support of our alliance in order to increase our ability to provide strategy, training, funding, and litigation for our growing Allied Attorney network. And we must expand the alliance both in the United States and abroad to increase our ability to counter escalating threats against religious freedom.
- Q:Why is the emphasis placed on "Alliance?"
- A: As an alliance-building legal ministry, we encourage Christians to come together to accomplish what none of us can do on our own: to protect and defend our religious freedom. To this end, we unite those who value a life of faith lived freely and protected by just laws. We unite attorneys, ministry leaders, pastors, Christian organizations, students, and other Christians. A strong alliance of like-minded organizations, attorneys, and individuals, joined by a common purpose, is essential to our winning strategy. Indeed, it is second only to our reliance on Christ.
- Q:Will the name change affect my tax receipts for donations given earlier in the year of the change?
- A: No. The change is in name only. Alliance Defending Freedom is still the same 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, and your gifts are still tax-deductible per the Internal Revenue Code.
- Q:Is religious freedom now your only area of focus?
- A: No. "Defending Freedom" communicates the essence of what the alliance does — defending religious freedom — and is the overarching idea on which all other freedoms depend. We continue to defend those whose religious freedom has been unconstitutionally affected in the areas of religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family.

And when he flips that switch, the light display is so fantastic that it shuts down half the city's power grid. More
