The conference committee on the Supplemental today rejected an amendment by Mitch McConnell, which would have added the Graham-Lieberman photo detainee suppression amendment into the bill.
FDL has obtained a letter written President Obama to David Obey and Daniel Inouye opposing the passage of the McConnell Amendment (PDF):
June 11, 2009
The Honorable David R. Obey
House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
The Honorable Daniel K. Inouye
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Chairman Obey and Chairman Inouye:
I am writing to urge you to oppose the McConnell Amendment, which is being offered in conference on the supplemental appropriations bill.
As you know, I have no higher priority than ensuring the safety of our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Given the singular importance of providing funding for our troops, it is essential that Congress pass the supplemental appropriations bill. Passage of the McConnell Amendment would unnecessarily complicate the essential objective of supporting the troops, and would accomplish no substantive purpose.
On May 13, I announced I would resist the release of additional detainee photos because I did not believe it would add any additional benefit to our understanding of what happened in the past, and that the most direct consequence of releasing hem would be to further inflame anti-American opinion and to put our troops in great danger. Earlier today, the Second Circuit granted the Government's motion that will stay the earlier court order to release the detainee photos, and we will now move forward with a petition to the Supreme Court to appeal the case.
I deeply appreciate all you have done to help with the effort to secure funding for the troops, and assure you that I will continue to take every legal and administrative remedy available to me to ensure the DoD detainee photographs are not released. Should a legislative solution prove necessary, I am committed to working with Congress to enact legislation that achieves the objectives we share.
I look forward to working with ou on this and other issues affecting the security of our nation.

"In most Japanese classical budo, the vast majority of training is done with a partner, and in the modern budo there is generally some form of randori . Training with another person with whom you have to demonstrate the effectiveness of your technique forces you to be honest about your technique. Unless your training partner takes a dive for you, you have to be honest about how well you are doing a technique and what needs work."

I hired Bob when I googled Japanese landscape design /Denver and Arbor Landscaping popped up. Of all the people I spoke with, Bob was the only one who described our project to be 'like a painting' in which the process of design is more an evolution rather than a blueprint to be followed. You must trust his instincts and knowledge (which may be difficult for some). But In return, you will be stunned with the result. We have a unique design combining elements we never expected with those we required. We did a near complete backyard renovation and what we have is now a beautiful one-of-a-kind backyard. Thank you so much Bob! I recommend that Bob change the company name to reflect the artistry that comes with his work.
Jill and Kyle gave me the opportunity to create something very nice in their backyard.
Showed up and gave me a Quote.Out of the 3 Quotes I got, Bob's was was highest.
Bob was great! We met at the nursery and looked at plants together. Installation was a breeze. Would definitely use him again!
Cesarina trusted me in selecting plants and design ideas,I always try to do more work than is expected
Working with Bob was a wonderful experience. Not only did he come up with a basic plan for our project but allowed us to make changes/additions while in progress. The outcome is amazing and we love it. We cannot thank Bob and his crew enough for giving us more than we ever could have imagined. I would definitely encourage others to consider Bob for their projects. If we ever needs his expertise again, we will give him a call. We are recommending him to everyone we know.
an extensive planting plan added color form line and texture to large foundation rock areas
I found Bob with Arbor Landscape from the Thumbtack website. I selected him after interviewing and receiving bids from him and several other landscape specialists. His bid was very reasonable, especially compared to some of the others. We had just completely remodeled our house and needed a complete redo of our entire yard. This included grading, a sprinkling system, new sod, planter beds, over 40 shrubs and flowers, low level lighting and edging. Bob also arranged to have a large paver stone patio installed as well as a fence and a pergola. Everything turned out absolutely amazing. Bob listened to us. Took the time to find out exactly what we wanted and made it happen. Every time an issue came up, Bob went above and beyond to resolve it. A couple of plants didn't make the transition and Bob replaced them right away. He was always on time (early most of the time), and the entire neighborhood raves about our landscaping. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.
Bob is experienced landscape design. He left us with the quote and drawing. He started immediately and the job was excellent work. Bob created the look of a creek running between trees and plants. The yard is now full of fall colors, neighbors are stopping to tell us how much they like the look. Very happy customers. Highly recommend bob and his team.
Bob installed a lovely waterfall and rock garden with accent plants. He was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional, yet flexible with specific requests and preferences. The job was completed in a timely manner, with attention to detail and finish. My yard looks fabulous--ready for entertaining!
Joan was a joy to work with, I made a couple of adjustments to her nice water feature the following spring and took pictures
Bob did a great job for us. He came out, sketched a landscape plan, wrote us a proposal, went to a nursery to select plants, did the installation in our backyard over two days and made modification to our sprinkler systems and beautiful flagstone work in the front. He was easy to work with and reasonably priced and fast. When one of the plants didn't take he replaced it the next day no questions asked!
I would highly recommend Bob and Arbor.
Bob Schuler did a professional job, well organized, efficient and easy to work with.
Bob was great - he was affordable and got back to us quickly and was out fixing our sprinkler system in no time! Would definitely use again.
A. The sprinkler work I did on October 8 was at a residential house whose sprinkler heads had poor coverage. Plugging several unneeded heads improved the pressure for each zone. coverage was further increased by movi ng a few heads,and changing a few spray heads to rotors.
A previous job was removing a certain area of lawn at a residential entrance way an d improving the entranceway with a variety of shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, river cobble, moss rock , and bark mulch.
Another job was a complete remodel in Littleton , including tree and stump removal, layers of rock and old plastic weed barrier removal, and recreating these areas with earth berms, a low profile decorative wall, and new plantings of shrubs, grasses, and perennials. existing materials on site were also reused such as cobble and moss rock. the sprinkler system was then updated by replacing old sprinkler heads with better coverage, adjusted to the right angle and height. The lawn was then soil prepped and reseeded.
A. I would like to talk to the owner, or someone knowlegable.
References and pictures of past projects are important. Pricing must be competitive, along with any warranty provided. Professionalism during the whole process is also very important.
A. As a landscape designer with a degree in landscape architecture and over 25 years experience, I am proud to have served the Denver front range area.
An initial meeting begins the design process. Opportinities and constraints of the site are discussed before developing an actual landscape plan. Pictures of past projects help show how landscape materials work together.
Depending on the clients needs, an estimate may be in order at this time. A landscape plan or drawing may be required, especially for new homes or properties.
Once the plan has been drawn, a second meeting is in order. If the drawing is acceptable after a brief presentation, pricing and scheduling are discussed before beginning of work.
A. working with clients and satisfying their needs, implementing a plan or design that works best forr each individual project, and of course seeing the final results
A. I started out as an engineering draftsman for my dad then went to CSU and have a degree in Landscape Architecture, moved to California and worked for a landscape architect and also did architectural drafting, then moved back here to Colorado in 1988 and desiged landscape plans for several different contractors.
For the last 25 years I've been gaining experience every year doing installation as well as design and working with clients to combine their needs with my experience to create successful projects

A World of Earrings Africa, Asia, America from the Ghysels Collection (Hardcover)
|Author: Anne/ Magliani Van Cutsem Anne Van Cutsem
|Photographer: Mauro Magliani Mauro Magliani
Learn more about A World of Earrings:
|This second volume of a multi-volume series on the Gbysels collection -- probably the most comprehensive and beautiful collection of ethnic jewelry in the world -- presents nearly 800 extraordinary objects, most of which have never been shown to the public before, coming from Africa, Asia and America.
Since time immemorial, earrings have been a means of seduction for women. Craftsmen the world over have set their imaginations to work, using every available material. Firstly they used flowers and grass, feathers and horns, wood, shells, and ivory. Mines and alluvional deposits offered stones and metals. Bold travellers and adventurous sailors set off in search of exotic goods.
Their symbolism is also rich and complex: for the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya, a person's prestige is measured by the number of ear ornaments, as long as their lobes can stand without tearing. Statues of Buddha show him with long ears. In the archipelagos of Indonesia, the suitor's family offers earrings to seal an alliance. Leather earrings with pearls are a sign of a married woman's status for Masai. In the Philippines and among the Naga headhunters, the men's hunting exploits and prowess as warriors are embodied in the jewellery theywear on their ears.

Stereo Star Maps by Richard Monkhouse and John Cox, Collins, pp 96, Pounds sterling 9.95
I HAVE just returned from a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society, where the speakers presented complex diagrams in which they tried to convey the structure of the Universe in three dimensions. With cross-sectional drawings and a plethora of different symbols, they attempted to show how galaxies lie in great sheets, between vast empty voids. When I got home, I opened the relevant page of this remarkable 'children's' book, and saw instantly what they meant - in real 3-D.
For several years, Richard Monkhouse and John Cox have been devising computer programs that take the positions and types of stars and galaxies and display them in new ways. Now they have turned the most visually exciting part of this work into a book that shows the three-dimensional Universe.
Because most things in the Universe are ...

Need a Thanksgiving Shortcut? Try One of These Products
Give a round cake real bite with our snake template and black nonpareils ($4.31 for 4 oz.; amazon.com). Print the template; place your printout beneath a sheet of parchment and trace the snake design. Cut parchment as indicated on the template to create a stencil.
Step 1: Prepare one box of cake mix (any flavor) per the package instructions; divide the batter between two 9-inch round cake pans, and bake as directed. Let cool.
Step 2: Level the tops of both cakes. Frost the top of one cake with white buttercream, either store-bought or our recipe. Place the second cake atop it. Frost the entire two-layered cake.
Step 3: Center the snake stencil atop the cake and gently smooth flat. Fill in the stencil with nonpareils, pressing them softly into the icing with the back of a spoon. Chill the cake in your freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, then carefully remove the stencil. Use a toothpick to clean up any stray nonpareils.
How to level a cake: Set the cake atop a cake stand; then carefully slice away the rounded top with a serrated knife, turning the stand as you go.
Weave a tangled web — from melted marshmallows — for this elegantly eerie dessert by Carrie Sellman of thecakeblog.com.
Step 1: Prepare two boxes of cake mix (any flavor) per the package instructions. You'll need two round cake pans: one 4 inches wide by 4 inches high; the other 7 inches wide by 4 inches high (Fat Daddio pans; globalsugarart.com). Trace the base of one pan onto parchment; cut out and place in the bottom of that pan. Repeat for the other pan. Coat the inside of both pans, including parchment liners, with cooking spray.
Step 2: Apportion cake batter between pans. In a 350 degree F oven, bake the smaller cake for 25 to 30 minutes and the larger cake for 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool.
Step 3: Level the top of each cake. Frost the top of the larger cake with white buttercream. Then center the smaller cake atop it. Frost the entire two-tiered cake.
Step 4: Microwave eight ounces of marshmallows in a bowl for 30 seconds, until gooey but still lumpy. Stir until smooth and cool enough to handle. Pinch off a bit of marshmallow; stretch to create a long, thin strand; and drape it onto the cake. Repeat, applying strands until the entire cake is covered in "webbing."
Step 5: To make the spiders, you'll need black fondant ($10.99 for 24 oz.; amazon.com). Use your hands to shape one 1 1/2-inch ball and nine 1/2-inch ones. Partially flatten the tops of the large ball and one small one; then use a drop of water to attach them, creating the head and body. Roll the remaining balls into long tubes for the legs, bend in the middle, and attach, using a drop of water for each, to the body, as shown. Repeat, using slightly smaller balls, to create a second spider.

DESPITE being sound and profitable, non-performing loans (NPL) in the banking sector surged to 7.5 per cent March this year from 6.7 recorded in December 2011.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Fourth Review under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) report, the banking sector is well capitalised at 18.5 per cent at end of March 2012 with ample liquidity apart from the bad loans. "The incidence of loans defaulting has increased slightly by 0.8 per cent after recording decline trend in recent years," showed the IMF report.
Commenting on the rise of bad loans, the Tanzania Postal Bank (TPB) Managing Director Mr Sabasaba Moshingi said lack of Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) is one of the major obstacles that fuel up the rate of defaulting. The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) said early this year it plans to launch the country's first credit reference databank in September, in a move aimed at tackling high lending rates and defaulting.
The hope is with the facility that the pooling of credit information will reduce the risks of lending and bring down loan rates and increase the supply of credit to businesses to fuel growth. The BoT will administer the databank, while it would issue licences to private credit reference agencies.
Last year, the Bank invited companies last year to apply for licences to set up credit reference bureaus. According to TPB boss, borrowers may use their positive credit history as collateral to access loans at better rates and seek more competitive terms from different lending institutions.
Mr Moshingi said also that dealing with defaulters using judicial instruments was costly in terms of money and time, putting the lending institutions at great risk of incurring much loss. He further mentioned high inflation as a major obstacle to both lenders and borrowers to meet their commitments. "For example, lenders are sometimes forced to hike interest rates to compensate the rising inflation while high cost of doing business bite borrowers who in turn fail to honour their commitments," he added.
In the meantime, the IMF report showed that steps were being taken to ensure that BoT oversight keeps pace with the rapid growth of mobile phone-based financial services. To further strengthen supervision, the BoT has been receiving technical assistance from the IMF on conducting stress testing and putting in place a crisis resolution framework. The efforts were being synchronized with other East African Community countries as part of a goal to harmonize supervision frameworks.

Mississippi State has not been known as a great soccer destination, but Aaron Gordon thinks the program has potential.
On Tuesday, Bulldog athletic director Scott Stricklin introduced Gordon as the fourth head coach of the women's soccer team.
"Once I got here, I thought you know what we can really do something here at Mississippi State," Gordon said. "We want to be able to go toe-to-toe with anyone in the conference, (and) have a chip on our shoulder. We have nothing to lose and get after it."
MSU re-assigned former coach Neil Macdonald in late October after the squad went 9-10-1 in 2012.
Gordon has spent the last six years at Texas Tech. He was an assistant for the first five years and was promoted to associate head coach in year six.
He has also served as a club coach and coached the Atlanta Beat in the Women's United Soccer Association.
"He had college experience, before he had club experience and before that he coached at the professional level," Stricklin said. "I just thought that mix of club level, professional level experience and collegiate level experience really has benefited and showed in the success that he has had."
Gordon worked under Tom Stone at Texas Tech and came into a similar situation there. He is looking to get a Bulldog program going that has not had a lot of history.
The only winning season came in 2003 when that team finished 9-8-3. In 17 seasons, the Bulldogs have not made the NCAA Tournament or won a Southeastern Conference Tournament game.
"I met the team (Tuesday)," Gordon said. "I know they're excited and we are going to get moving. I told the team that what we do as a program is about how we write our own story. I told them in six months, where do you want to be? You need to write that down and write you're own history because you are in charge of it."
Recruiting will be a big issue for Gordon. Soccer is a recognized high school sport in Mississippi, but only five Mississippians were represented on this year's roster.
"The benefit of where Mississippi State is located puts you in a region where you are kind of close to everything," Gordon said. "We are in a day's drive from Texas. We are certainly within a half day's drive to anywhere in the southeast.
"The fact that Mississippi State participates in the SEC makes them a relevant soccer team. Knowing that you have a relevant soccer team that plays in a big conference allows you the opportunity to recruit."
The transition from the Big 12 to the SEC is something Gordon sees as a lateral move. He does see the SEC as a little deeper.
"The conferences are similar in a lot of respects," Gordon said. "Different from a travel standpoint. The SEC is now over a lot of areas, but there are a lot of shorter trips to go to. In quality of play, they are pretty similar. The SEC top to bottom is a little bit more athleticism throughout the teams."
Gordon's philosophy is pretty simple and how he wants to go about running his program.
"Winning," Gordon said. "I would like to win. Soccer is a pretty simple game. So much of it is dependent upon the players you have. You can't put a square peg in a round hole."

For west coast girls like those of us at Alima, The Hamptons seem so glamorous. It conjures up images of biking past white, sand beaches with pounding surf on one side and sun-bleached homes with green lawns on the other side. We can imagine popping in to the mom & pop grocery store only to find we're rubbing elbows with a celebrity. Clam bakes, shared summer rentals and all-night bonfire parties sound so exotic to those of us who call our beaches "the coast."
The Hamptons summer eyeshadow collection is an homage to how we imagine it would be to spend a relaxing summer in the east. We would want a bit of glitz, to catch the daytime sun, or the nighttime firelight, but nothing over the top. We would want a collection of colors that went well together in a variety of ways so we could survive for six or eight weeks with a mere four eyeshadows.
So here it is, our perfect summer eyeshadow collection for our dream trip to The Hamptons:
Shelter Island is the color of sun-warmed sand, or dried beach grass. With a healthy dose of shimmer, it is a perfect base for a complicated look, or great on its own for a subtle wash of color.
Southampton is the flawless blue of the surf or the summer sky. The subtle shimmer makes it a perfect accent color, but it can carry your entire look when you want to be adventurous.
Montauk is the gorgeous bronze of the perfect tan (faux, of course!) with the added glamour of golden shimmer. It is a perfect partner for Shelter Island, used on the lid or in the crease.
Amagansett is a deep, charcoal brown, like a weathered wood building or a piece of dark driftwood, but with some silver sparkle added for good measure. Wear it as a contour or damp as a liner when you want to be dramatic; or smudged dry along the lash line for a simple look.
Apply Shelter Island from lashes to brows with the fluffy #37 Brush. Lightly contour the crease with a touch of Montauk on the #36 Pointed Crease Brush. Smudge a bit of Amagansett along the lash line with a dry #31 Fine Liner Brush. Apply Mauna Loa Bronzer, and then add a touch of Raspberry Satin Matte Blush to the apples of the cheeks. Finish the look with Organic Nourishing Lipbalm in Sweet Pea.
Apply Shelter Island from crease to brows with the #37 Brush. Using the #39 Large Shadow Brush, place Southampton on the lid, from lashes to crease. Contour the crease with Montauk on the #36 Brush. Complete the eye with Amagansett on a damp #31 Brush. Add Sahara Luminous Shimmer Blush to the cheeks, then slick on some Organic Nourishing Lipbalm in Mango.
It would be so lovely to see these two finished looks either in an illustration, or on a model!

Public Comment on LEED-ND Opens November 17
CNU calls on new urbanists to review and comment on the latest draft of the rating system
CNU has partnered with U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to create LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND), a rating system to assess green neighborhood design. As the rating system approaches completion, the partners are opening it up for public comment beginning TODAY, Nov. 17, 2008. The public comment period will close Jan. 5, 2009. The final rating system will be balloted by CNU members in spring 2009 and is predicted to launch mid-2009.
"We now ask new urbanists to review this work to help ensure that the rating system follows the principles outlined in the Charter of the New Urbanism and reflects the best practices within the movement," stated Susan Mudd, CNU Board member and LEED-ND Core Committee Vice-Chair. Earlier this year, the Core Committee and technical advisory groups revised the rating system to reflect what they learned from real world pilot projects.
Victor Dover, LEED-ND Core Committee and CNU board member, stressed the importance of reviewing the draft. "Since we will not have another opportunity to test the recent changes against projects, it is essential that new urbanists comment on the current draft and continue to improve on our work."
"CNU relies on the expertise of its members to advance the practice of New Urbanism," explained CNU President and CEO John Norquist. "This public comment period is one of those opportunities and we call on our members to contribute." Check out CNU's LEED-ND initiative page for more on the latest draft, pilot projects, and commenting information.
USGBC is hosting the online comment form on their website. To submit your comments, visit the LEED Rating System Drafts page. After a simple sign-in, members of the public can comment on specific prerequisites and credits. The Core Committee will be reviewing all comments submitted—the more targeted and concise the recommendation, the better.
To remove your email address from future CNU e-Updates, please reply to firstname.lastname@example.com with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Alumni Gym (1,650) -- Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Television: None. Home Record: SPC 5-7, Rider 6-5. Away Record: SPC 3-8, Rider 5-8. Neutral Record: SPC 0-1, Rider 2-0. Conference Record: SPC 3-11, Rider 8-6. Series Record: Rider leads, 28-24.
GAME NOTES: The Saint Peter's Peacocks step into Alumni Gym to take on the Rider Broncs in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference matchup.
It has been a rough season for Saint Peter's, although the team has split its last four contests after winning just one of its first 10 MAAC games. The Peacocks put forth perhaps their strongest effort of the season against Siena on Sunday, as they notched a 72-62 victory on their home floor. The Peacocks will wrap up the regular season by playing four of their final five games on the road.
Meanwhile, Rider is looking to rebound from Saturday's 78-71 setback at Iona. The Broncs had strung together five straight wins in the early part of January, but they have since dropped four of six. They have a chance to right the ship with three of their next four games coming at home.
Rider was a 66-54 road win over Saint Peter's when these teams met up on Jan. 17, and the Broncs lead the all-time series, 28-24.
After trailing by seven at halftime against Siena, SPC won the second half by a 40-23 margin, thanks largely to a 17-of-21 effort at the free-throw line. Leading scorer Desi Washington (14.5 ppg) spearheaded the comeback by going a perfect 10-of-10 at the charity stripe over the final 20 minutes. He also went 4-of-5 from 3-point range and finished with a game-high 24 points. Chris Burke (four steals) and Darius Conley (seven rebounds) chipped in with 11 points apiece in the victory. Defensively, the Peacocks forced 19 turnovers and held Siena to 39.6-percent shooting from the floor. They also limited O.D. Anosike, the nation's leading rebounder, to two points in the second half after he scored 14 in the opening frame. SPC has little choice but to rely on such defensive efforts, as the team is shooting just 40.7 percent from the floor while posting only 59.7 points per game.
Three players are averaging double figures in the scoring column for Rider, led by Anthony Myles with 12.5 ppg. Myles has knocked down a team-high 44 3- pointers (.367) and is also pulling down 4.8 rebounds per tilt. Jonathon Thompson is next in line with 12.3 ppg, followed by Daniel Stewart, who is tallying 11.2 points and a team-best 6.8 rebounds per game. Rider and Iona both shot 50 percent from the floor in Saturday's matchup, but the Gaels shot 21-of-26 from the free-throw line, while the Broncs were just 10-of-17. Iona's starting backcourt of Lamont Jones and Sean Armand torched the Broncs for a combined 56 points. Thompson paced Rider with 26 points and five assists in the loss. Myles joined him in double figures with 19 points, as he and Thompson combined to shoot 8-of-19 from the perimeter.
The Peacocks have certainly been playing better of late, but the team has not won consecutive games since starting the season 3-0. That is not likely to change here against a Rider squad that will be eager to atone for Saturday's poor showing.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Rider 73, Saint Peter's 67

THREE singing babies!
Love the new Cadbury Dairy Milk "Feel the Joy" TVC … Mika and I have watched it non-stop!
Today's Writers' Bootcamp topic actually works nicely for me. I'm going to end the open-to-interpretation topic of "I couldn't live without" with "music when I run or exercise" which ties nicely into a post that Natasha at Raising Men shared her running playlist earlier this week and asked me to contribute to.
So, without further ado, I give you my current top 10 (current) favourite songs that I couldn't live without…when I run or exercise! Read more
As a mother this is an easy one. I mean, it's a scary one but probably the most obvious.
My biggest fear is my children having to go through life, from a young age, without me or David.
Whether it's as a result of death or a strained relationship, the idea of either of my boys not having me to turn to, destroys me.
I guess I fear what has ultimately happened in my own life as a child, happening to my children and, fate aside, I'll do all I can to avoid that ever happening.
PS: I really hope that the next Writers Bootcamp post topic has more positive connotations…so far all I'm doing is letting out streams of tears during the writing of each post!
This is my second post in the Writers' Bootcamp challenge and I'm anxious about all of the intellectual posts that will come out of this assignment. Without going into a thesaurus, I don't think I could pluck 5 words from the air that I love. So this is my take:
It's a word I hear hundreds, no, thousands of times a day and have heard for at least the last 4 years. It can be grating, endearing and annoying to hear it so often. But it is also the sweetest word I first heard around 4 years ago. It's a word that sometimes defines me, sometimes deflates me. It sometimes lives like a worry hanging over my head, but most of the time it's a word I wear like a prized rosette, pinned to my shirt every day for all the world to see and admire.
It's "Mommy". Read more
I was born in Rustenburg in 1982 but didn't live there long before we moved to Wales, in the United Kingdom, where I grew as a toddler, singing Welsh Christmas carols and stuffing carrots up my baby sister's nose. She was born just after I was 17 months old.
After a holiday back home to Zimbabwe, my parents decided to stay, so my father went back to Wales to pack up our lives and we settled into a home close to my father's parents in an affluent Harare suburb.
During my first year at a historic, girls-only private senior school in Harare, my mother took a job that meant we needed to leave Zimbabwe. I was devastated. I lost the friends that I'd had for over 7 years and was moved to a country I didn't know. I miss those people and that care-free life.
I walked into an enormous South African, co-ed high school in September of 1995 and I was terrified. I still have that feeling when I go somewhere new, where I feel like people have been there for far longer than I have. Read more
For so, SO long, I thought that my boys would never be friends. Fighting would start from the moment they opened their eyes. "That's MY blankie//plate/chair/mommy!" The whining was incessant. The tears flowed and bath time was a daily nightmare. They were NOT friends.
This weekend, things seemed to change. They set my mind at ease. Sure, they had their moments [I've discovered that bath time should probably be alone time for now, maybe a good time for Dave and I to spend one-on-one time with each of them] when they were tired and a little irritable, but for the most part, Luca & Mika were attached at the hip for two solid days, without incident.
This, people, is a record. Read more
Forget having three mystery guests popping over for dinner, two of whom won't eat chicken or any pasta-based dishes or who one who is allergic to salt, anything cooked in water and human-beings … in our house, we have four different sets of dietary requirements.
I eat everything. Yip. Everything. I mean I don't eat everything all the time, but I've yet to find anything that I really dislike. Dave is lactose intolerant but eats pretty much anything and everything I put in front of him. Mika is willing to try almost anything at least once and on a good day will motor through a bowl of peas, on top of whatever else he's already eaten. And then Luca. Luca. Luca only eats things he can personally identify and, and at 4 years and 9 months old, that's only really a handful of things. Read more
After a couple of months worth of a blogging hiatus, I've returned. Not regularly, mind you, but thanks to a kick in the bum by a couple of cool brands, I'm feeling inspired. I like writing, for myself. I also like knowing that you LIKE what I write.
You do, don't you?
A couple of months ago I was feeling a bit sorry for myself. I was working TOO hard and not looking after myself. My skin was taking a beating and I was miserable. As girls do, I sent a very self-pitying Whatsapp message to my friend Natasha to show her how AWFUL my skin was and to get some sympathy. Natasha's response to the close up of my watery eyes and spotty forehead? "PLUCK YOUR EYEBROWS, NICKI!"
Mortified. Thanks Natasha ;) Read more

Meet Paul Gross of ABC's New 'Eastwick'
In the new ABC fantasy-drama "Eastwick" (premiering Wednesday, Sept. 23) - based on the same 1984 John Updike novel that inspired the 1987 film "The Witches of Eastwick" - Paul Gross plays Darryl Van Horne, a wealthy, mysterious and powerful man who arrives in the seaside village of Eastwick and upends the lives of three local women - free-spirited Roxie (Rebecca Romijn, below right), uptight Joanna (Lindsay Price, below center) and overwhelmed Kat (Jaime Ray Newman, below left) - with latent magical powers.
But when it came to coiffure, Gross found himself at the center of attention.
As to Van Horne's ever-evolving hairstyle, Gross bursts out laughing.
"Oh, my God," he says, once he's done chuckling, "if you'd been along for the hair ride, it's a ride at Six Flags. It's just crazy. It all started because my hair was getting kind of long when I came to do the pilot. I couldn't cut it, because I was doing a feature film right up to that, and I needed longer hair for it.
"So, I think that I probably had something on the order of 17 haircuts, attended by great throngs of executives, all concerned about one hair here and one hair there.
"It's quite new to me to have people more concerned about my hair than the women's hair. That usually doesn't happen."
While Gross admits that his character has not yet had his romantic way with any of the women , he still exudes mystery and power.
"We never spell out exactly what Darryl Van Horne's agenda is," Gross says, "but you certainly know he's got one.
"But the problem for him is, the more he empowers these women and unlocks their strengths, the less control he has over them.
"So it's not exactly a power struggle, but there's a power balance that's always in tension."
School cred: Graduated from the
TV cred: "Chasing Rainbows," "Street Legal," "The Ray Bradbury Theater," "The Red Green Show," "Due South" (also an executive producer for part of its run), "Monday Report," "The Eleventh Hour," "Slings and Arrows," "Hockey: A People's History" (narrator).
Movie cred: "Turning to Stone" (1985), "Cold Comfort" (1989), "Divided Loyalties" (1989), "Aspen Extreme" (1993), "Tales of the City" (1993), "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1997), "Men With Brooms" (2002, also writer and director), "Burnt Toast" (2005), "Passchendaele" (2008, also writer and director).
Favorite music: "I'm completely indiscriminate when it comes to music; I like everything. But at the moment, I've been listening nonstop to Kings of Leon. And I'll flip-flop back and forth between rock and classical. I'm fond of the Romantic Era."
Favorite book: "I can say, the one I'm reading right now is fantastic. It's by Shirley Hazzard, who wrote 'The Transit of Venus.' This is called 'The Great Fire.' Usually my favorite book is the one I'm reading, and that's the one. It's going to be revealed as referring somewhat to
Favorite movies: "I love the big, standard ones, like '2001.' I love everything that Kubrick ever made, actually, most of Coppola, all of Scorsese. Then (I like) some weird ones. I like the German period when they were all really exploding, like Fassbinder and Wim Wenders. I like 'American Friend.' 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' we have to throw that in there."

The VIU Mariners entered this past weekend 4 points behind the league leading Langara Falcons. With games against CBC and Kwantlen, Tyler Olsen came up big. The 6' 6" fifth year forward from Fanny Bay, BC, Olsen helped his team to two very important wins this weekend.
On Friday night vs CBC, Olsen scored 19 points had 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and a steal while sitting the entire fourth quarter. He followed up Friday's performance with a career high 32 points and added 7 rebounds and 4 steals. 19 of the points came in the second half to help extend the Mariners 3 point half time lead to 22.
Both victories helped VIU stay on pace, 4 points behind the Falcons in the league standings. Next up for the Mariners is a road trip to Douglas and Langara College's where they hope to close the gap in the standings.

I ask with sincerity, is your business antisocial? Take a moment before you respond. I understand you may have Facebook and Twitter presences. Your business may broadcast on YouTube. Perhaps your executives are blogging. If you're among the more sophisticated organizations, the team is probably subscribing to elaborate monitoring services to listen more effectively. And, with all of the social objects produced inside the organization, it's come to the point where a content management system or social media management system is necessary to scale.

A local woman has been arrested for fabricating a reported rape attempt Monday night, Starkville Police Department detectives say.
Dominick Ellis, 31, of 98 Sandhill Arms — who also lists a Williams Road address — was arrested mid-Wednesday morning on a charge of filing a false crime report.
Ellis was released on a $500 bond Wednesday.
Late Monday night, police were notified of a reported rape incident on Industrial Road near South Louisville Street (Old Highway 25) after E-911 operators received a telephone call from a man who had stopped to help a woman who said she had been attacked, said SPD Detective Jimmie Thomas on Wednesday.
The woman — soon identified as Ellis — told officers she had been walking home from work along Industrial Road when two men in a pickup stopped to offer her a ride, Thomas said.
When she declined, Ellis said the two men — both African-American — got out of the pickup and attacked her, trying to take her clothing off and tearing her shirt and pants in the process.
"She said they were trying to rape her. She said she escaped the scuffle and fled on foot," Thomas said. "A short time later, another passerby saw her curled up in the fetal position on the side the road and stopped to help her."
The passerby called E-911 operators and took her to OCH Regional Medical Center Monday night, Thomas said.
But during followup questioning
the next day, Ellis confessed that the fabricated the story about the attack "because she wanted to make her friends feel bad for kicking her out of the house," Thomas said.
"She was walking home and ran into the woods, and her clothes got torn in the trees," he said.
Municipal Court affidavits state that Ellis did give a formal statement confessing to lying about the rape.
This is not the first time Police Department detectives and patrol officers have had to investigate false crime reports. Such incidents are extremely problematic, said SPD Lt. Mark Ballard.
"These types of incidents distract officers and use of resources away from following up on actual crimes," Ballard said.
"If false crimes are reported, we will prosecute those involved."
Though a misdemeanor offense under state law, conviction on a charge of making a false crime report can result in a one-year jail term, up to a $1,000 fine and restitution to a law enforcement agency for costs associated with investigating the false crime.

If electricity can be generated by moving a coil through a magnetic field, why do we not launch large coils into orbit? As they circled Earth within the planet's magnetic field, the energy could be sent down from the coils via microwave: even people in remote areas could receive it. I suspect that this system would cost much less than energy generation does at present. So tell me, what flaws in this scheme would prevent me from picking up my Nobel prize?

On the Path
I'd thought I'd finally make a Journal now that I'm finally taking the Sport more serious then ever. Plus I've loved ABC ever since I started coming here as a 15 year old in 2003, oh it's been a while.
I try to keep my training as simple and hardcore as possible. I dont go to the gym to be just bigger; I go to become faster, stronger, and better. Over the past two weeks I've been doing 45 minutes of non-stop pushing, wroking big muscle groups together, plus trying to get leg workouts in twice a day every other day. But that was way to hard to accomplish being here and all.
Now I'm doing hypertrophy workouts, with slow eccentrics and fast concentrics on day 1 of muscle group workouts, and day 2(48-72hours later) doing strength training... I plan on doing this for 2 weeks.
I'd like to dedicate all my workouts to God and the knowledge I've gainned from all the posters on ABC.
I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.- Psalm 40:8
Workout 10/22/08 2400
For the warmup I did 15 reps of squats started with the bar and kept adding 25 pound plates to near failure. After that did deadlifts 135x10 30 second rests inbetween sets and close hand pullups/tricep exercises.
After warmup:
Hammer curls 10x3 with skullcrushers 10x3
close hand pullups and tricep exercises
close hand cable curls 10x3 with Tricep pulldowns 10x3
Concentration curls 10x3 with one arm dumbell tricep extensions 10x3
One arm barbell preacher curls, after the end of these I flexed for 30 seconds and overhead tricep extensions; also flexed after those.
Next I did heavy barbell wrist curls and reverse wrist curls for 3 sets and flexed Biceps/strechted triceps after each set for 30 seconds with a barbell.
To finish it off I held a close grip pullup mid way for one minute to get a huge pump, it felt pretty good haha.
Overall: I didn't have any rest time for these excerses, and I focused on long 4 second eccentrics, while trying to explode on the concentric. I rarely went to failure at the end of the sets, because that wasn't my goal for this one. It was a good workout but felt like it was missing something and didn't get that big of a pump from it.
Workout 10/25/08 1100
Legs Heavy/Forearms
Warmup - Flexed and streched muscles to raise body temperature and get the blood moving.
After Warmup:
Squats - got up to 315. Would have gone higher if I had a spotter.
Leg extensions: got up to 370
One legged presses: got up to 400
Leg curls: got up to 140
I stretched after every set and did leg exerscises. Every other set I did heavy barbell wrist curls and heavy dumbell shrugs. At the end I did was 81 sit-ups in about a minute and 20 hand facing each-other pull-ups(forgot what those were called....)
Overall: Great workout when it came to poundages, got a good pump in my legs since I haven't done strength training in a while(oops). I took 3-5 minutes rest time after each set and it ended up taking about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get done. I also haven't been able to workout in the last couple of days because of work and all, so I'll have to workout again today to catch up. Note to self; Hamstrings are way to weak , maybe because they arn't very well developed yet.
Workout 10/27/08 1100
Biceps/Triceps heavy
Warmup: Did some pull-ups and tricep extensions.
Standing bicep curls got up to 155 pounds.
Skull crushers got up to 125 pounds. Need a spotter heh
After these I wanted to get more intense;
Lying Hammer bar tricep exension plus T-rows. Got up to 125 on the tricep extensions and 225 on the T-rows.
Close hand decline bench press plus Preacher curl machine. Got up to 180 on the close hand and 130 on the preacher curl.
Tricep extension machine plus upright rows. Got up to 170 on the machine and 135 on the upright rows.
Did push-ups, sit-ups, and wide grip pull-ups to failure.
After each set of exercises I rested 3-5 minutes and kept it in the 2-5 rep range except for warmups. During the rest period I did all kinds of pull-ups and tricep exercises to help with recovery.
Overall: I went up in poundages in everything, though I really wished I had a spotter so I could have done more weight asisted to get a shock out of the eccentrics. I was going to have one but he had to guard some Iraqs so =/. I didn't do as much weight as I wanted on the preacher curls or close hand grip decline bench press(really wanted to get up to 200 with that) But oh well, theres always next week. I haven't got to workout as much as I wanted to because of missions and only getting one meal a day because of the missions. Really dissapointing for me but I need to keep focused and forget about meeting the "quotas." Also I dont know if I did enough variety on this workout, when I do strength training I really like to do compounds inside of it.
Chest/back hypertrophy
Warmup: Flexed and did some pullups plus dips.
Decline bench press with deadlifts 4x10
Dumbbell flys with one arm dumbbell(plams facing the body) and T-rows 3x10
Pec dec machine plus reverse pec dec machine. Found A weight I failed at 3 on and kept dropping the weight until I got 40 reps on both
Lat pulldowns and incline bench double drop set on both and did static holds at the end
I didn't have any rest period thoughout the whole workout except when I was doing pull-ups and dips after each superset to failure. At the end of the workout I did 30 seconds stretches for the back and chest twice.
Overall: Pretty good workout, didn't get to tired but my partner was wasted at the end so he ended up lowering my intensity a little. Next time I'll increase the intensity by a lot, do a lot more stretches, static holds, and partial reps. When I workout with a partner I usually go heavery so I didn't want to drop the weight, which was my fault and I should have to get a better workout.

Legs hypertrophy
Warmup: did a few pull-ups, dips and elevated pushups just to get the body temp up.
Double drop set squats 3 sets
Double drop set leg extensions 3 sets
double drop set leg curls 3 sets
Leg extension plus straight leg deadlifts 3 sets
Huge adductor machine super set
The goal for the workout was to have absolutely no rest times except when I was changing out the plates. I did 10 reps for the first set and the second set I did 20 reps for double drop sets. On the last for the second half of the double drop I had 5 second ecentrics. After EVERY set I did partial reps to failure and static holds for 30 seconds.
Overall: Pretty good workout, didn't get as worn out as I was hoping to get. I cant wait for next week so I can change up my workout scheme, because I'm just not getting as tired with these workouts as I used to get. I like leaving the gym panting like a dog haha. I guess I need to increase the intensity, number of sets, and strectching.
training for strength IS training for hypertrophy... And endurance...
Behold, I say unto you, many are called, but few are chosen.....
You shouldn't (at least this is MY opinion) feel totally exhausted after a workout... Shorter, more frequent routines have been shown to be more productive than longer, less frequent ones...
doing six sets of squats once a week, is less beneficial than doing three sets of squats TWICE a week.
Granted, don't take that into saying doing one set of squats every day would therefore be best (which it might, i haven't seen anybody test that) but you get the idea...
Behold, I say unto you, many are called, but few are chosen.....
Deltoids Hypterophy
Warmup: did some pull ups, stetches, and some standing military presses.
30 minutes of military press, upright rows, lateral raises.
I was low on times and wanted to do something a little different so I picked up the barbell and just started doing military presses until my deltoids didn't want to move anymore. I kept each set in the 8-14 rep range and added in some triple drop sets.
Overall: wasn't the workout I had planed but I had to do something with the time I had, so I made it work. Go a huge pump in my deltiods which I normally dont get, it felt great.
