Revenge's Christa Allen Reveals the Cast Has Regular Viewing Parties Together
Despite the backstabbing and betrayal that takes place when the cameras are rolling, the Revenge cast seems to be pretty tight. And actress Christa Allen (Charlotte Grayson) reinforced that theory when she spoke with College Lifestyles this week.
The 20-year-old actress gushed about her close connection to her co-workers.
"I see Connor [who plays Declan Porter] on the weekends," she revealed. "I see Ashley [Madekwe] frequently. We'll all visit each other's houses. Gabe [Mann] and I are quite close. We all have a unique bond between us, and here it is — the end of first season start of second season — and we still do our best to get together for every episode that we can to watch it together. It's really a great community."
Episode viewing parties with Madeleine Stowe? We'll bring the popcorn! We hear that the Season 2 premiere was screened at Emily VanCamp's house.
It's great that this cast is so close, especially with all of the turmoil their characters go through. What do you think of their bond? Real or just for show? Weigh in below!

Riding theTrans South Dakota Adventure Trail
Trans South Dakota Trail
I thought planning & riding a Gravel road route across South Dakota would be a fun adventure. I created a route that followed along the James & Missouri Rivers, then across the Native Prairies in the Western portion of the state, ending in the Black Hills. The Entire route is about 760 miles. I rode the first 1/2 of it, from my place to Pierre, SD. I found some of the planned roads closed or non existent. I can't wait to ride the second half.
The Route.....
On the road along the James River
Grandpa & Granddaughter fishing flooded waters of the James
Shelby with her catch
Views from the road
Wooden bridges
Long straight roads
A few curves
Some of the roads aren't Gravel!
A Drive in the Country....
Along the Missouri River
I stopped & fixed a Lunch at this spot
Sites like this were common
The next report I had a couple guys join me for the ride from Mitchell, SD to Kennebec, SD. I continued to Wall, SD

Good Times........
I mentioned I was going to try & finish riding the Gravel Road Route, (TSDAT) across South Dakota over the 4th of July. Farmer said he would like to tag along & had a Buddy that was interested in joining us.
I decided they should ride the entire route, from the beginning in Mitchell, SD. We planned to meet at Cabela's at 13:30. Farmer had to finish some Bean Spraying & would meet Allen & I near Yankton.
Allen & his ride.....1000 V-Strom
Our route was going to take us along the James River to Yankton, cross into Nebraska & follow gravel roads to Pickstown, SD. I had planned on camping near Pickstown at a Rustic campground I discovered on the previous trip. However, we were slowed by roads that had become more difficult to travel because of all the heavy rains & flooding along the James & Missouri Rivers.
We arrived in Gross, Nebraska near sunset. We planned to eat at the local Steakhouse/Bar. By the time we were done eating it was almost dark. I asked the Bartender if it would be ok for us to camp at the little park across the street. He said to make ourselves at home. It was a great place to spend the night.
View on the way through Nebraska
After a stop for breakfast & fuel in Pickstown, we headed across the River to start our journey North. Soon we came to a flooded portion of the road that also had the Rustic Campground underwater. We turned around & tried to reroute around it. I thought I could intercept the road & salvage the most scenic portion. What ended up was 2 + hours of Adventure riding that reminded me of the recent Off Road Poker Run, only this time my bike was loaded. The "shortcut" eventually brought us back to the flooded road.
We don't have pics of the really tough stuff because we were too focused on getting through.....alive!
John coming to my rescue.
Allen right behind him
We had just ridden through the trees behind John
Allen, up on the pegs riding the 1000 like it's a 125!
John & Allen were heading home Sunday morning. When we arrived in Kennebec I told them I had a house there we could stay in, or there was a KOA The house had Electricity but no water....we took the KOA, we all needed showers.
We spent the evening Doctoring Allens leg & icing it down. I found some Woodchuck Hard Cider (Pear Flavored!) in the store. We ate burgers from the Chuckwagon & turned in. During the night the winds & rain came. Earlier in the evening the Campground host told us they had been flooded earlier & the water was a couple feet deep in the store. I was praying it wouldn't come up again. By morning when John & Allen departed it was sprinkling. I was continuing West, solo......
Good Times Continue......
Sunday morning John & Allen packed their gear & bikes & were heading home.We said our goodbye's & promised to continue the Adventure together another time. I wanted to find a way across the Ft. Pierre National Grasslands. I had run into road closures on the previous attempt.
As I rode out of the campground I could smell breakfast coming from the Chuck-wagon Kitchen, I thought about stopping & having a big healthy portion of pancakes but, decided some cold Chef Boyardee Lasagna would hit the spot in a couple hours.
A 1/2 mile North of town I turn west onto a nice gravel road. There are a few clouds left from the previous nights storms that rolled through
I always wonder what stories old Ranch buildings could tell
Storms & deterioration take their toll
I come across a sign that said road closed, about 1/2 mile further was an area that had been flooded with water. I figured they just hadn't been by to remove the sign. About 3 miles further I came across a huge washout. I walked it & decided I could ride across.
A little further up the road I came across another washout.....this time I remembered what Allen had said before they took off...."And Father watch over Jack, he will be traveling alone & needs to make good decisions" Or something pretty close to those words. I decided God had a sense of humor & this is where I was to make one of those decisions! I turned around & backtracked.
I ran into lots of these throughout the day.
Just before the above picture, I stopped to talk to a guy walking with his scruffy dog. We talked about the nice day, how green everything was, especially being it was July. He mentioned June had been pretty wet & that he had only worked 2 days the entire month because of how wet everything was. He looked at me & said "That's why my dog & I are walkin, can't afford to put gas in my truck on two days pay" He had indicated he lived "just over the hill" I really wanted to take his picture but didn't feel comfortable asking. As I rode away, over the hill, I saw his trailer,an old Chevy truck parked near it.
I'm sure he'll figure out why there were knobby tire tracks in & out of his driveway.........
If there is someone with that name, how come I keep getting his mail in my box?
I'll bet they built the Church in this spot because of the view the congregation would have when arriving for services.
The Ghost Town of Capa, along the Bad River....
A few buildings still remain
A little ways down the street from the above building, there used to be a Hotel that had a Hot mineral springs pool. A guy I work with said when he was about 10 years old (40+ years ago)he, his Dad & Uncles Deer hunted in the area. He remembers going over to the building & crawling through a window to get to the pool. They would chase critters out, undress & all pile in for a bath!
You can still get Hot baths at this Hotel in Midland, SD
When I arrived in Midland I went to the city park & got out the laptop to look at maps. I needed to route my way back north to intercept my original route. I had about a 100 miles of fuel left & knew there wasn't much available further west. I thought I would have to go down to the Interstate to find gas. I also wanted to fill my Camel-back with water. I started wandering around town & saw the Hotel. Behind the Hotel there was a guy re-stringing his weed-eater. I told him I was riding gravel across the state. I asked about the Hotel & that I never had heard about the mineral springs until earlier this spring. I told him I've never seen any ads for it. He said "Naw, we just let people find it on their own" I asked if there was a place to get fuel. He said "Sure is, just follow this road & take the 1st left, then take the next left. You should be able to find some there"
After the 1st left I went about 50 yards & could see a full blown Convenience Store! I chuckled to myself & felt stupid 'cause he got me. I'm sure he thought here's another City guy that thinks we don't have modern conveniences out here in the sticks.
Between Capa & Midland I found this sign along the road!
After leaving Midland I soon came to this sign.
As hard as I tried, I couldn't make out the wagon tracks, but they're there.
Then I went through another Ghost Town of Ottumwa
And then, I found this sign. I was on the first car road from Chicago to Yellowstone!
Read more about the trail here. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/us14.cfm
All I could think of was how many times I've heard people say or read how boring they thought going across South Dakota is! Here I am, just a few miles North of I-90 & I'm ecstatic with the views & history I'm just happening upon!
The road I wanted to travel along the Cheyenne River didn't exist anymore. I talked to a Rancher that said a bridge had washed out about 30 years ago. They never fixed it & closed the road & it was impassable. He told me how to go south & west through Grindstone, Creighton & Pedro to get to Wasta. En-route I came across another church. Dowling Community Baptist Church, built in 1926.
To me, it was interesting that they put the bell on this pile of rocks instead of in the Bell Tower.
Wall, SD is home to the famous Wall Drug. Wall was named after the Natural "Wall" formation nearby. Going West of town, toward Wasta, you have a good view of the Wall when looking across the huge flat Prairie. It was getting late in the day as I approached the edge of the Wall & started to descend. The gravel had been really good. Pretty soon I was on a dirt 2-track, full of ruts & huge clumps of mud. I was riding close to the edge of the trail near steep drop offs. I started thinking again of maybe this is where I'm suppose to have help making good decisions......shortly, I can see a cattle gate ahead & below. There is good gravel beyond it. It was like being on one of my first skydives.....scared something might go wrong, then elated & a rush for making it through unscathed!
I found a campsite at Wall & over a Clamato reflected on the weekends ride. Monday morning I headed home via the Badlands.
I'm looking forward to completing this ride, to the Black Hills. Then hopefully go explore a South to North route

Anyone that has gone West of Chamberlain on I-90 has probably seen this structure to the North.
Ive driven by & wondered what it was for over 40 years. Friday, there was a pickup pulling out of the pasture into the ditch beside the Interstate. I did a quick U-turn & went back to ask the Rancher what it was. He smiled & said it was an abandoned magnesium mine. He thought it had been shut down in the mid 1940s, before his or my time! We visited for a while & he told me to go through the gate & go take a closer look at the mine.
This is the mine shaft, full of water now. He said years ago you used to be able to crawl down into it.
Guessing, I think this structure probably contained a big wheel that was fed ore from the mine.
I unloaded in Wall & left my truck there. I rode down to Sage Creek campground in the Badlands, where I spent the night. Overnight there was a huge Thunderstorm & lots of rain. Fortunately I stayed dry in the tent. Next morning I packed up & headed out.
I came across this building & thought it unusual for a house this big so close to the road with no other buildings nearby. It could have been a hotel. There was big concrete pad behind it. Maybe a gas station with repair facilities. Anyway, its fun to come across old structures & speculate what they may have been used for.
You have to wonder how many storms the silo has been through!
I wanted to go through Scenic. Its a cool old western town that up until the 1960s used to be a major shipping point for cattle from the area. Scenic was listed for sale this summer. While I was there, there were probably 15 20 vehicles that drove into town. People were taking pictures & milling around. The store / gas station wasnt open & I thought they had wasted their opportunity to cash in on the boost in tourism the Advertising had brought in.
One of two jails in town
At one time you could get anything you needed at the General store!
I wanted to head West out of Scenic. Maps showed there was a road/trail. However, after several miles it came to a gate & private land with no trespassing signs on it. I backtracked a ways to where the trail headed southeast. I followed it thinking I could connect with a road that headed west again. I could never get to it; running into dead ends or private land again. Eventually I came out on hiway 40, about 15 miles south of Scenic. Im going to leave this section in my tracks, as an alternate, because it is such a nice scenic ride, worth the time to ride.
After getting back to Scenic I continued on hiway 44 West until I got across the Cheyenne River where I was able to get back on gravel & connect with my original route.
This old church is in Folsom, SD
You see a lot of boots hung on fences in the West. There is a significance to the tradition but I cant remember what it is.
I was riding on a gravel road when I noticed a big piece of cardboard, the size a refrigerator would come in. It had a target fastened to it. As I went by, I thought it odd that it was leaning up against the fence. I looked around & there were no buildings or anything I could see. I did a U-turn to go check it out. As I got back a guy on a 4-wheeler pulled up. We introduced ourselves & I said I had to check out the target out here in the middle of nowhere. He said he was sighting in his rifle. I had to have a bewildered look as I started looking around to see where. He pointed & said from right over there Finally I see down this little path, about 75 yards, his gun laying on a blanket, in the track of the path. I look back at the target & realize hes shooting across the road! You have to visualize the grass, its 3 feet tall, he has ear muffs around his neck. There is no way he could have heard me or seen me coming. He held out his hand, with a shell in it & said its a 405 Winchester I looked at the target & there were 5 or 6 holes in about a two foot circle. I said a buffalo gun huh? he said Yep. We BSd for 15 minutes, talked about shooting & hunting. Discussed if there was a different way to get from Scenic across the Cheyenne or not. I regret not taking pictures. Its one of the great experiences of the trip that I didnt get documented.
One of my Favorite Beers is Firebrick, made by Schell Brewery in New Ulm, MN. I couldnt pass up a picture of a Schell Ranch sign. No affiliation Im sure.

What a great ride. Is there a track?
How would you go over to the Hills? Cuny Table to Buffalo Gap, across 79 through the gap, then up Red Valley Road would be cool. But there have to be some bushwhacks across the rez.

When I was there in August, a bunch of us crossed from Red Shirt east to BIA 27, the road that runs south from Scenic. This is true bushwhacking. Tracks exist intermittently, but they don't show on the Delorme. I bailed early because of an overloaded bike and a recently-dislocated shoulder. It was pretty wet in there, not usually the case. I look forward to completing that segment next year.
It also looks like you can go west from Red Shirt over to Fairburn, pretty much following French Creek.

Are Pillar Wedding Cakes Making A Comeback?
We know what you're thinking — are they seriously referring to those cheesy plastic column cakes from the '80s? Those died with ruffled sleeves decades ago. Cake bakers and designers are reinventing what it means to have a pillar cake by making some seriously modern updates. The main difference between now and then is that instead of all the unnecessary frill (not to mention all those little connecting staircases) these cakes focus on clean lines, fresh flowers and classic accents. Take a look at a few pillar cakes below and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Fighters React to UFC 169 Main Event Stoppage Via Twitter
Fighters React to UFC 169 Main Event Stoppage Via Twitter
Trading Shots: So what is 'intelligent defense,' anyway?
Stoppage was horrible. If he didn't stop it when Barao dropped Faber and was raining down shots, idk how that stoppage could be justified. I would have liked to see a little more. Who knows? Barao could have probably punched himself out if he didn't get the finish.
Faber will go on another run anyway, he's still better than the rest of the division.
Wanting a hack reporter to mike Herb when DW screws up cause you think he's bad mouthing him??? DW called him the best in the business,but made a mistake tonight. Now that doesn't sound like a slam to me in a job were a call doesn't get a second chance. You make it and live with it right or wrong. If they did that it wouldn't of been fare to Baro to stop it than restart it giving Faber a break. I agree it would of been nice to have seen it go on, but a early stoppage is better than a late one were life long damage could accur
I think that was a bad stoppage, he was getting hit in the glove.
I'm sure you're not the only one but many of us didn't like the stoppage. Whatever, it's over now.
I see both sides of it quite honestly. He was covering up and none of the shots were landing clean on the ground. On the other hand, he was really just covering up after being rocked pretty bad and wasn't advancing his position. I'm not siding with Herb or Dana.
It's the official's job to minimize the unnecessary risk a fighter is exposed to in the cage, it's the fighter's job to convince them that they're still in the fight.
I don't think the stoppage was horrible, nor was it a good one either. Faber was down for the 2nd time in the fight and pretty much in turtle defence mode. His thumbs up is pretty damn hard to notice if you are the ref, I barely saw it after few replays. Had it been the 1st time Faber was hurt in that fight, I would call it a horrible stoppage, but since it wasn't I see no point in blasting Herb Dean (nor any other ref on such stoppage).
When herb told him to do something, he didn't mean hold his thumb out... He wasn't in a submission. He wanted him to make a move, or prove he was intelligently defending himself. He didn't do that. He held a thumb up behind his opponents leg... Lol.

Hey Arm-spin, it's Kurt not Russ...I guess you got us older ph@rtz confused or maybe u r one yerself...!
I would be happy to elaborate, but I am curious as to what is your reality with regards to your ideas about spirituality, (or your soul or God or the afterlife or what have you).
My apologies, Kr. I fixed my post.
My own beliefs are fairly typically Christian, I guess. I believe in God as seperate from and creator of the Universe (though not in 6 days). I believe human beings have souls and after they die they go to an afterlife. I believe in heaven and hell, or less, but I think the traditional Christian imagery (fluffy clouds, fiery cavern, ect) is metaphorical and so I have no clue what heaven, hell or any possible intermediate states would actually be like.
In a more EASTERN world, (no not New York...) Nirvana (heaven) is a place where on gets their own spiritual universe back. The Godhead, (God) is not a separate entity but a unbounded, uncreated, infinite co-existence of universes. The true nature of the divine is that all life emanates from there. That means YOU & ME & EVERYONE ELSE.
All beings once shared that space, fell into a world that was bounded, created, finite & separate.
A person has a viewpoint & that viewpoint has considerations, intentions, decisions, evaluations & postulates. That alone determines one's own universe. The physical universe is nothing but a co-mingling of those considerations, intentions, decisions, evaluations & postulates.
There has been a lot of study, hypothesizing & demonstration in the world of science that shows this idea has some truth to it. Quantum mechanics has shown that the viewpoint of the person conducting an experiment can & does alter the outcome of the experiment.
Remember Matthew 5:9, "and they shall be the sons of God."
Perhaps in the New Testament there are passages that allow you to be greater then you ever imagined to be.
Let me know if any of this helps.

Loftus Brings Women into the Historical Record
"History is all about telling stories," Japanese historian Ron Loftus says. "It's a collection of individual experiences. The trouble is, we don't live long enough to read 100 million life stories." That's why Loftus decided to dip into just a few--deeply.
His Telling Lives: Women's Self-Writing in Modern Japan is based on the autobiographies of five 20th century Japanese women. They come from a variety of circumstances and socio-economic backgrounds.
"Until the last 30 years, women were totally absent in history texts," Loftus says. "Feminist scholars dug up letters, diaries, poems and private autobiographies to find women and bring their voice back into the historical record."
The 1980s theory was that women's autobiographies would read differently than men's, Loftus says. It was thought that male autobiographies would be more egocentric and outer-directed, with the stories told in a linear progression, while women's stories would be less chronologically presented and more focused on domestic details and inner emotional states. Matters of the heart, it went without saying, would be less compelling.
Loftus didn't buy it. He went again and again to the library and discovered a tremendous outpouring from women. The language was rich, he says, and he discovered that the stories were not inner-directed recollections, but were outer-directed. Few women recounted details about their love lives or emotional existence, he says. Instead, they wrote about their public activities in a linear, chronological fashion. "I found this to be true in women's autobiographies in the West and elsewhere in the world," Loftus says.
"When I started, I was a little worried that people would say, 'What's a man doing writing this?'" But Loftus plunged ahead, discovering for himself the stories of five remarkable Japanese women.
"I wanted the women and their experiences to speak for themselves," he says. "These are names few people know. I sat here on summer days translating from Japanese to English, following their lives. This was a labor of love."
His book chronicles the lives of five women, including a blacksmith's daughter, Oku Mumeo, who grew up amidst the clash of old and new cultures. Her traditional father surprised her by advising her not to marry, as it "will only involve a lot of hard work." The comfortably settled and educated Mumeo decided to join the masses and take up work in a spinning mill, where she found nightmarish conditions. Women were treated as slaves and housed in unsanitary conditions. Mumeo became a passionate activist for health care for working women, and while the government wanted more people to fight its wars--in other words, more births--she pushed for more choice.
Takai Toshio entered the textile mills at age 11, and though she was hobbled by a crooked leg, lack of education and small stature, she became a labor organizer. Her activities earned her a jail sentence, but she continued to advocate for women in the workforce with resilience, and results.
College educated, Nishi Kiyoko came from comfortable circumstances financially, but not psychologically. Her mother, trapped by the Japanese patriarchal system, drowned herself in a lake as a way out. Kiyoko's "phantom mother" was the internal text that ran through her career as a liberal journalist. In her 80s, she wrote her memoirs, worrying all the while that calling it an autobiography "might sound impudent. It's not that I have lived my life in such a remarkable way, but that the time period through which I have lived has been a full and tumultuous one. And, by coincidence, there were a few times when I stood up as an individual against this swirling tide."
Sata Ineko began her career as a parlor maid, but quickly became frustrated and exhausted by her work routine. "I wanted my own time," she said. "I wanted to read books." The woman whose mother told her, above all else, to "be a good wife," became an active proletarian writer for the Marxist party.
Fukunaga Misao joined the illegal, underground Communist Party, which got her thrown into jail. She eventually became disillusioned with the pre-war Japanese Communist Party, as she felt it was dominated by men who felt superior to women, but she continued to advocate for gender equality and women's issues.
The five women in Telling Lives were in their late 70s or 80s before they wrote their stories.
Through Loftus's book, female students from the Tokyo International University of America have become acquainted with mentors they might never have known. One student said, "I never knew women like this existed." The students have expressed admiration, empathy and the desire to be like the women portrayed in Telling Lives.
Loftus was born in Washington, D.C., where his father was an international economist, and spent his formative years in India, Paris, Bologna and Bangkok. He serves as chair of the Department of Japanese and Chinese at Willamette.

TANZANIA'S increased attractiveness to international investors and multinationals has sparked a scramble for the country's top corporate lawyers by the world's leading legal advisory firms hunting for new revenues in frontier markets.
This comes as the government has recently raised its estimate of recoverable natural gas reserves to 33 trillion cubic feet (tcf) from 28.74 tcf following recent big discoveries offshore.
"These discoveries are an indication that Tanzania is now becoming one of the natural gas hubs and a new frontier in oil and gas exploration in the east Africa region and the world at large," says Deputy Energy and Minerals Minister George Simbachawene.
Such a dispensation, many agree, would call for local legal minds to understand the intricancies of such global contracts. Recently, five Tanzanian lawyers were among those ranked as the world's top in the legal profession by the 2013 Chambers Global Guide.
The guide ranks the world's leading law firms and attorneys based on client feedback and peer input. "The lawyers have been listed and recommended as leaders in their field, in the Chambers Global 2013".
Chambers is unique among legal directories in that the rankings are based on the conclusions of independent researchers from London. They review material submitted by law firms, interview clients and consult public filings on transactions that the firms have worked on.
The guide is respected by lawyers because it is not "pay-to-play" -- that is, the rankings are not based on whether the firms have paid to advertise in the directory. According to the guide, Tanzania's Ms Fatma Karume was recommended in General Business Law:
Dispute Resolution, while Mr Gasper Nyika in General Business Law: Dispute Resolution and Mr Protase Ishengoma in General Business Law. Others are Mr Sadock Magai in General Business Law and Samah Salah in General Business Law: Dispute Resolution.
Reacting to the news, the IMMA new Managing Partner, Mr Lawrence Masha, who recently took over from Mr Protase Ishengoma, said it was a confirmation that Tanzanian lawyers were up to the standards of handling international cases.
IMMA, which is part of Juris East Africa, has a partnership with DLA Piper, a Global Law firm. This comes against the backdrop of Tanzania's increased attractiveness to international investors and multinationals having sparked a scramble for the country's top corporate lawyers by the world's firms hunting for new revenues in frontier markets.
About 10 of the top 16 global law firms have inked partnership deals with the region's top corporate law firms, according to the International Financial Review 1000 (IFRL1000), a research firm that ranks global legal houses.
The research indicates that 12 international firms are active, aiming for an edge in bidding for international legal tenders in projects located in eastern Africa. The rising interest in the region is linked to the recent trooping to the region of foreign investors chasing multi-billion shilling infrastructure deals, legal work for multinationals with regional operations and natural resource projects, especially oil and gas exploration deals.
These activities are generating millions of shillings in legal fees, making it critical for top international firms to have a local footprint. Mr Ishengoma said the region is considered as the last frontier and this has seen many multinationals come to do business in different African countries.
"The big boys in the gas business have come into Tanzania and this calls for increased capacity in the legal handling of such international deals including project finance, infrastructure among others," he said. In recent months, the region has been a centre of oil and gas exploration after several big discoveries including Tanzania's success to reach 33m tcf of gas so far," he said.
Mr Ishengoma has been the Managing Partner for the firm for over a decade, and said his handing over to the new Managing Partner was to make younger people breath in fresh ideas into the institution. For now, he would strengthen the department that handles the extractive sector.
Last year, investors' eyes, both local and foreign, locked on Mtwara region and off its coast with excitement and purpose. The region, hitherto considered among the poorest in the country, came to limelight following the recent massive discovery of natural gas reserves.
According to the Mtwara Regional Commissioner, Mr Joseph Simbakalia, the recent discoveries and rich potential for oil and gas have put the region on the verge of becoming the new and future growth pole of the country's economy. He said several billions of shillings were expected to flow into Mtwara for investment in the development of associated materials supply, engineering services and logistics support services.
"An indicative cumulative cash flow from the projects shows that investments will exceed US$ 1 billion after two years and top US$ 9 billion within the first ten years," he said. Similar views were expressed by the CEO Roundtable of Tanzania that the discoveries of vast deposits of natural gas has the potential to lift the country from the category of least developed countries to a modern and prosperous, gas fuelled economy.
Foreign investors showed increased interest in Mtwara Freeport Zone ahead of gas and oil exploration activities. Already, the Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) and the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) have invited bids for leasing plots of between 6,200 square metres and 15,900 square metres area earmarked for oil and gas firms supply base.
EPZA research and planning manager James Maziku described the response to the invitation so far as positive. "Many companies have shown interest to invest in the (Mtwara Freeport) zone -- it's an indication that investors are eager to operate in the area," he said, noting that the respective authorities will meet soon to evaluate applications.
The Special Economic Zone Act 2006 and the EAC Customs Union (Freeport Operations Regulations) stipulate that companies seeking to undertake operations that provide services to oil exploration and gas extraction companies, should be limited to warehousing and storage, as well as labelling, packaging and repacking; sorting, grading, cleaning and mixing; breaking bulky; simple assembly and grouping of packages.
Gas-rich but underdeveloped Mtwara region has earmarked about 110 hectares for the Free Port Zone, with the first phase of the EPZA/ TPA joint project on 10 hectares scheduled to operate as an oil and gas supply base. The current investment in oil and gas exploration in Mtwara region has exceeded 300 million US dollars (about Tsh450bn/-).
By September, the government had raised its estimate of recoverable natural gas reserves to 33 trillion cubic feet (tcf) from 28.74 tcf following fresh and big offshore discoveries. The World Bank's Jacques Morisset in fact came to opine that these proved and potential reserves could be a game changer for Tanzania.

E-books' lack of cover could end intellectual snobbery of reading in public
March 25, 2012 | 6:15 pm
By Chris Meadows
We've mentioned a couple of times the "problem" that e-readers create of people not being able to tell what the person next to them on the bus or train is reading. Some people seem to feel that something precious is being lost, be it the ability to satisfy your own curiosity or the inadvertent advertising that a book seen in public provides to induce other people to buy it. There was even a brief rumor that Amazon's Android tablet would have a second screen on the back that could allow people to see what you were reading.
However, Stephen Hough takes another view, in a piece on the UK's Telegraph paper, in which he suggests it could be "the end of one kind of intellectual snobbery." No longer, he writes, do we need to worry about being seen in public reading only "the right kind" of books.
No one can know whether we are reading Homer or Harold Robbins as we depress the side-buttons to change pages. In fact, one of the drawbacks to the Kindle is that we can actually forget the exact title of the book we are reading because it no longer passes before our eyes each time we pick it up.
He discusses his childhood spent reading "adult" books such as Tropic of Cancer or Lady Chatterley's Lover, much to the disapproval of his librarian, and skipping over one particular book he saw everywhere—Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice—because of its overexposure. But he lately found an ad for the book on Amazon, and has been able to read it on his Kindle without fear anyone else might notice.
It's worth noting that, as in many other media, pornography (or romance/erotica, some of which is basically porn without pictures) drove some of the early adoption of e-books from stores such as Hard Shell Word Factory and Ellora's Cave, as bored housewives found they could read their favorite smutty romance novels on their Palm Pilots without anyone else being the wiser. So in some ways the lack of cover was responsible for e-books originally taking off.
BookDrop: Email ebooks to your Kindle from Dropbox—even ePubs and other formats not normally supported
A dirty secret of big publishing: More fact-checking needed. Fixes on the way?
Smashwords adds "assetless" pre-orders
Australian e-book site e-book.com.au to close down
'Must' for next librarian of Congress: A love of reading—including the ebook variety
Absolutely correct. And people are less likely to interrupt your reading to ask you how you like the book. Now, they don't usually interrupt you to ask how you like your ereader.
I am curious about the need for the word "could" in the title …..
But what about the effect of seeing loads of people all reading the same book? Part of the whole Dan Brown craze was walking down the aisle on a plane and seeing every second book be The Da Vinci Code. Same thing with Steig Larsson.
Be brave, be the one to step away from relying on the tedious "bored housewife" stereotype to explain the success of romances and their readers supposed shame for early acceptance of ebooks.
I not embarrassed and yet I read romances in high school and through a double major + minor stint at university here and abroad. I still read and enjoy romances, and am not a housewife or bored. What I do is travel with my husband and write romances – a few of which are from Ellora's Cave
I read a truly delightful reader review yesterday on Amazon, where a policeman explained that he had to rip the cover off that paperback, so his partner, who had very fixed views on fiction suitable for a cop, wouldn't see that he was sitting in the squad car reading paranormal romance. 😉
He told his partner it was a book about a cowboy shooting a lot of outlaws, and his partner was satisfied.
The standyby screen on my reader automatically uses the cover for the current book, but I do manually change it at work if I'm reading something less intelectual.
Chris, Chris, Chris. Haven't those of us who read and write romance kicked your rear enough times so you should know better than to trot out romance reader stereotypes that aren't even accurate stereotypes but ones created by people who have never even opened a romance or looked at the statistics of who does read romances?
See most current stats here:
An earlier survey said that the majority of romance readers aren't stay-at-home housewives, and most have at least some college education.
The differences in porn, erotica, romantic erotica, and romance are numerous, but here's a simple explanation I found:
Anyone who has read two of each kind and who has any kind of critical reading skills would know they are reading vastly different types of story.
And you are also wrong about why the early ebook romances were so successful. I'm one of Hard Shell's first authors, and Hard Shell Word Factory or HSWF was a pioneer in the ebook market so I had a front row seat in ebook adaption. First, HSWF has never sold erotica, and it was in business long before the erotica explosion created by Ellora's Cave.
Its early and most successful books were niche novels that the NY publishers refused to publish like science fiction romance and paranormal romance. (Believe it or not, before the current vampire/werewolf craze, an author couldn't sell "weird stuff" to a NY editor.) Readers starving for these books were the first wave of ebook adapters.
When the short Regency romances were dropped by NY, the writers and readers moved into ebooks, and when sweet romances with mild or no sex became passe, again, the readers and writers moved into the ebook market.
The cliched clinch cover of the half-dressed woman in the arms of a bare-chested hunk which many readers and writers hate was a happy lose for those of us who wrote romance, and we were able to choose our own covers, but the covers were important in the promotion of our books and the sale of our books online, and they have remained so whether or not the cover can or can't be seen by others when you read.

redskin, red man
Redskin, a now disparaging term for a Native American, is nearly two and a half centuries old. It is first recorded in a transcript of a speech given by Chief Maringouin, an Indian of the Illinois people, on 26 August 1769. It was interpreted by a Frenchman from the Illinois language and transcribed and translated into English by William Johnson:

I shall be pleased to have you come to speak to me yourself if you pity our women and our children; and, if any redskins do you harm, I shall be able to look out for you even at the peril of my life.
WWI Vocabulary
Cooties, doughboys, and foxholes. Jonathan Lighter has a rather good article on CNN.com on the words spawned during the First World War, which began one hundred years ago next month.
If there is a complaint about the article it's that Lighter only scratches the surface. There are many, many other terms that could have been mentioned, like tank, over the top, and storm troop. But there is only so much that can be included in an article such as this, and the ones that Lighter includes are a good representational sample.
(CNN gives the date of the war's start as 4 August, which is the date Britain entered the war, but hostilities had started on 28 July 1914 between Serbia and Austria-Hungary. I wonder if, as the anniversary approaches, if there will be quibbling in the press as to the "true" date.)

Are You Using the Wrong Dictionary?
James Somers wrote a blog post on dictionaries a week or so ago, in which he extols older, more poetic dictionary definitions, criticizing modern dictionaries for being flat and uninspiring. He uncovers a very useful technique for punching up writing, one favored by famed, non-fiction writer John McPhee, but in the process Somers falls into a trap that many non-linguists do, ascribing to the myth that when it comes to language authority older is better. To put it bluntly, Somers is probably using the wrong dictionary.Read the rest of the article...

Beowulf Filmfest
On 2 June, Medievalists.net, an excellent blog and website on all things medieval, posted links to eight different YouTube videos about the Old English poem Beowulf. The videos vary widely in quality, so here I re-present them, in a different order, with some commentary. Overall, this presentation shows that there is quite a bit of material about Beowulf out there, but it varies wildly in quality. The videos that make the most of the audio-visual medium tend to be low quality in terms of scholarship and accuracy, while the most insightful commentary is usually framed in achingly dull presentations of a person standing at a lectern and reading from a script.Read the rest of the article...
How Languages Evolve
TedEd has a video by Alex Gendler on how languages evolve. Nothing surprising or out of the ordinary for those with any kind of background in historical linguistics, but it's a good overview for the neophyte.
(I'm going to take a moment to bitch about TedEd's presentation. First, they don't allow the embedding of the video on other sites. That's their prerogative, but I don't see any logic to it. It's not like they have ads or are otherwise losing money when others embed the video. The second, and much more important complaint, is the lack of a date. When was this video made? I've noticed more and more websites and blogs not noting when content is posted. This is a serious deficiency for a site that provides educational materials. Instructors need to know how current the materials are.)
Where Do English Words Come From?
A recent thread on this site's discussion forum got me thinking about the borrowing of foreign words into English, a language with a reputation for indiscriminately appropriating words from other languages. Etymology books and websites, including this one, often highlight the diversity of languages that English draws its vocabulary from, but how much of this reputation is deserved? Does English really borrow that many words? And does English really filch a lot of words from many different languages? The answers may be a bit surprising, but when you look at the data in light of history, they make a lot of sense.Read the rest of the article...

As of Tuesday, May 28, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The second annual Gwinnett County Dugout Club Senior All-Star doubleheader was supposed to be much more fun and relaxed than any regular season or playoff game.
And the atmosphere surrounding Tuesday's event was more easy going despite a number of obstacles that could've thrown it off.
Among those obstacles were a late change of venue to Coolray Field from the original site of Georgia Gwinnett College, the late arrival of the umpires, a freak collision on a play at second base and two very competitive games, with the West All-Stars taking the opener over East All-Stars 6-5, while Game 2 ended in a 7-7 tie.
Still, the day served its purpose of letting some of the top senior players from around the county have one last day on the diamond.
"It came out well," said West coach, and South Gwinnett head coach, Steve Teschner. "I think the kids had a good time. You can't find a better venue to go out there and perform in.
"It's a lot of fun to get some kids in your own dugout that you (usually) go to war with. What's really neat is that if you look at (each) roster, most of these kids are committed to play (college baseball) somewhere. These kids have earned their opportunity. It's going to be fun to watch these kids go on to the next level."
The laid back atmosphere briefly took a more serious tone when a player for each team was injured on a play in the top of the first inning of the nightcap.
North Gwinnett's Cody Short and Grayson's Brandon Benson collided with each other after the latter tagged the former out on a play near the second-base to end the inning.
Short not only had his head collide with Benson's knee, but apparently also got his hand accidentally spiked, causing a deep laceration.
Benson limped off the field and did not return, while Short was taken off the field on a stretcher before being transported to a local hospital.
"I was a little scared at first, but I'll be fine," said Benson, who went 0-for-1 in his only plate appearance in Game 1. "I was scared for (Short)."
Despite the scary moment in Game 2, as well as numerous walks and errors scattered throughout the day, both teams had their moments in each game.
In the opener, the West All-Stars jumped out to a 5-0 lead thanks to a three-run second inning -- keyed by sacrifice flies from Buford's Josh Bryan and GAC's Jordan Dudek and an RBI single from Short -- plus two more runs in the third on an RBI double by Mountain View's Beau Blair and an RBI ground out by Norcross' Jess Ramsey.
But the East answered with three in the fourth and two more in the fifth, with the key blows being a two-run single by South's Ryan Patterson and an RBI single from Justin Brew of Providence, to knot the game 5-all.
Ramsey then delivered his second hit and second RBI of the game with a single in the bottom of the fifth that put the West back in front at 6-5.
Mountain View's Joey Bell and North's Jordan Brown then tossed a shutout inning each in relief of GAC's Patrick Stone, who was the pitcher of record, to close out the win for the West.
In Game 2, the lead changed hands four different times, before the West answered the East's five-run rally in the bottom of the third with a three-spot of its own in the top of the fourth to tie the score at 7-apiece before pitching took over.
Mill Creek's Jesse Thomas, North's Michael Haynes and Collins Hill's Nate Williams combined to shut down the East on just three walks over the next four innings, while East hurlers Cletis Avery of Shiloh, Jack Banda of Grayson and Sam McCoy of Parkview retired nine of the last 10 West hitters over the final three innings.
The game wound up being halted with the game still tied, and with players from both teams having enjoyed the experience.
"It was just fun," said Ramsey, who finished the doubleheader 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. "That's rule No. 1 of baseball -- to have fun when you're playing. It was nice meeting all the guys I used to know from travel ball when I was younger, and getting to talk to all the coaches throughout the region. It was just a fun time. I had a blast."

The accident and injury news feeds have been abuzz with developing stories this week, particularly concerning the unfortunate injuries of two workers.
Review Period: Jul 2015
|No Win
No Fee
More injuries make the news over past seven days
It seems that there's no dearth of injuries making the news over the last seven days, with two personal injury compensation cases this week making waves.
Personal injury at work leads HSE to prosecute two firms
The Health and Safety Executive kicked into high gear this week, prosecuting two separate firms for their roles in the injuries of their employees.
Injuries don't just happen to drivers and car passengers
It's not just car drivers or their passengers that have to worry about sustaining injuries in road traffic accidents, as this week's news stories show.
Slips, trips, and falls dominate the accident claims sector
This past week, it seems that there's nothing but news of slips, trips, and falls plaguing Brits both at home and abroad when it comes to sustaining injuries.
Local authority dragged over coals by work accident claims
The big story this week is how one local authority has been paying out more than £1.2 million in personal injury compensation to its staff over the past five years.
Don't eat the muffins if you don't want to have to make an injury claim
The past week has definitely been one for the record books, considering how one poor woman ended up having her holiday ruined – and her health seriously threatened – by a single chocolate muffin.
Slips and trips are the name of the game
While last few weeks have been all about the Health and Safety Executive taking issue with unsafe working conditions causing personal injury at work, the past seven days has been packed with news about slips and trips.
Work accidents bring HSE knocking at businesses' doors
It's always bad for workers and employers alike whenever there's a work accident claim made, but as bad as employees have to suffer, businesses suffer just as bad once the Health and Safety Executive gets involved – it usually means weighty fines on top of any personal injury compensation payments.
Medical negligence and motorcycle accidents a-plenty
Not that we're trying to make you fret, but if you've either been riding a motorbike or going to the local surgery lately, you should know that it's been a bad week indeed for people suffering from medical negligence or having to make motorcycle accident claims.

Dow 13,000 is a big number, but it's just a number
"Human beings are pattern-seeking animals," said Brian Gendreau, market strategist at Cetera Financial Group. "We find patterns even when there are none."
The Dow has climbed back slowly since its 2009 low of 6,547.05, and its other milestones have also generated a frenzy of attention. But as motivations for investment, their record has been mixed:
- On Oct. 14, 2009, about 10 years after the first time the Dow hit 10,000, the average hit the mark again. Traders passed around baseball caps labeled "Dow 10,000 2.0" on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
Mutual funds didn't think the milestone was a good time to invest: They pulled $216 million out of U.S. stocks that day, according to TrimTabs Investment Research. A week later, the Dow was down about a half-percent. Three weeks after that, though, it was up 2.7 percent from its Oct. 14 close.
- On April 12, 2010, the Dow crossed 11,000. This time, the Dow climbed in the following week, up 0.8 percent. Three weeks after that, it was down 2 percent.
- On Feb. 1, 2011, the Dow crossed 12,000. A week later, it was up 1.6 percent. Three weeks after that, it was virtually flat.
Experts say investors should keep in mind that the surest way to profit in the stock market is to invest for the long term. Buying for just a week or a month at a time is a risky bet.
Beyond talk of milestones, there's also the question of whether the Dow is even an accurate measure of the economy. Besides being made up of just 30 companies, it's weighted so that the few with the highest stock prices carry the most heft.
So a small percentage change in the stock of IBM, which is trading around $198, sways the index much more than a large change in the stock of Bank of America, which is trading around $8.
Last year, the Dow rose 5.5 percent. But strip out IBM and McDonald's, the two stocks with the highest prices last year, and it rose just 1.8 percent, according to calculations by Birinyi.
Plenty of analysts say the Standard & Poor's 500, given its much broader list of companies, is a better measure of the market. While the Dow would need a 9 percent rally to reach its all-time high of 14,164.53, the S&P 500 is still 15 percent away.
It did close Friday at 1,365.74, a 3 1/2-year high and about 200 points from its all-time high in October 2007.
"The Dow has only 30 members," says John Manley, chief equity strategist for the Wells Fargo funds group. "Sometimes their individual stories bury the message that the economy is trying to send us."
So in a way, it will be a bigger deal if the S&P breaks 1,400. But nobody makes baseball caps for that.

Equal opportunities
The general principle of equal opportunities contains two elements: one is equal treatment between persons, and the other is equality for men and women. It is intended to apply to all fields, particularly professional life, education, access to health care, goods and services.
The recognition of the principle of equality forms part of the objectives of the European Union (EU), and the principle of non-discrimination, which is closely linked thereto, has been reinforced by the Treaties of Amsterdam and Lisbon. The Community can thus take all necessary measures to combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or convictions, disability, age or sexual orientation. It is assisted in its action by the Advisory Committee on Equal Opportunities for Men and Women.
Adopted in December 2000 and incorporated into the Lisbon Treaty in 2009, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union includes a chapter entitled "Equality" which sets out the principles of non-discrimination, equality between men and women, and cultural, religious and linguistic diversity. It also covers the rights of the child, the elderly and persons with disabilities.
The European legal framework is supplemented by a series of measures aimed at promoting equality such as the integration of non-discrimination in all Community policies, positive action, awareness-raising and training and the promotion of the inclusion of Roma.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 02, 2011
On the eve of Labor Day weekend, and in advance of the day America traditionally recognizes the many contributions of its workers, Generation Opportunity issued the following statement in response to the August jobs numbers released by the United States Department of Labor – which revealed the unemployment rate remains at 9.1%.
"Young Americans watched and waited patiently for elected leaders to finish their summer travel and vacations while their own dreams were put on hold by unemployment and underemployment. Elected leaders in both parties should demonstrate empathy and responsiveness toward the millions of people impacted by the poor economy and return to Washington with a commitment to get government out of the way of those who actually know what it takes to create more jobs," said Paul T. Conway, President of Generation Opportunity and a former Chief of Staff for the US Department of Labor.
Generation Opportunity commissioned a poll with the polling company, inc./WomanTrend (April 16 – 22, 2011, +/- 4% margin of error) and highlights of results for all young Americans ages 18-29 appears below.
Delayed Dreams - Human Cost of the Bad Economy on Millennials:
Millennials on Government Spending and the Creation of More Economic Opportunity:
Generation Opportunity is a non-profit, non-partisan 501 (c)(4) organization that seeks to engage everyone from young adults, to early career professionals, college students, young mothers and fathers, construction workers, current service men and women, veterans, entrepreneurs and all Americans who find themselves dissatisfied with the status quo and willing to create a better tomorrow.
Generation Opportunity operates on a strategy that combines advanced social media tactics with proven field tactics to reach Americans 18-29. The organization announced its first communications platform – "Being American," a Facebook page that has already amassed a fan base of more than 993,000. The page posts links to relevant articles and reports from sources ranging from the federal General Accountability Office (GAO), to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Brookings Institution, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, and The Heritage Foundation.

Sunil Jain makes compelling arguments against TRAI's recommendation of not allowing entry of new operators to provide 3G services in the country. Recommend that you read the full article.
This was the import of a recommendation made by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on 3G spectrum last September but, thankfully, the then Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran chose to ignore it and said he'd invite new players into the field. Now that Maran's been asked to go, the industry's making one valiant attempt to win over his successor into accepting Trai's recommendations in toto.
Trai's recommendations, of course, were amazing and, presumably, Maran saw through the inconsistencies in them. While the mobile phone firms argued that 3G services (which allow vastly superior services to be offered wirelessly, including internet data speeds of at least 144 kbps) should be given to them without a one-time entry fee as they were just an extension of their existing 2G licences, Trai rejected this.
It said 3G was a new service and so it should be auctioned. But if it was a new service, how did Trai arrive at the conclusion that the auction should be limited to just the existing mobile phone players- that's both the GSM-cellular lot as well as the CDMA-lot (also called the Unified Access Service Licence, or UASL holders) like Reliance Communications and the Tatas?
