Dr Jen delivered my third baby via c section. She is so kind and understanding! Put me at ease and best of all helped my squirmish husband make it through as well!
I would start with her optimistic talk and she really gives only good hopes. Every visit with her made me comfortable and confident throughout my pregnancy. Waiting time is little more since she takes the time with each of her patient and answers to all their questions while between this time other doctors might have covered 2/3 patients. Adding her nurse assistance is also equally good.
I had surgery and became very ill. Dr. Akins has been there everytime trying to help with my care. I couldn't have foundA better doctor. I do not like the West Chesteroffice. The staff in WC are very rood and nasty.I would 100% recommend Dr. Akins to my friedaand family.
Dr. Akins did my surgery and when problems came up she called me back personally.She has spent time explaining things to me and has help try to resolve a problem they may or may not have to do with my hysterectomy.I go to the Kennett office and the staff there is so wonderful and helpful..Thank you Dr.Akins and crew for your support..
While Dr. Akins seems to be a very caring doctor, I repeatedly waited over an hour in the general waiting area before being brought back for my appointment. The office staff was very rude. I wish I had a better review to offer, but I will not be going back.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Bucks lose to Kings, weather
Sacramento – When it rains, it pours.
Or snows, whatever the case may be.
As if things weren't going badly enough for the Milwaukee Bucks, they learned after their 96-93 loss to the Sacramento Kings at Arco Arena Monday night that they would not be flying home to Milwaukee because of inclement weather conditions there and would be spending the night in Sacramento.
And so, after spending a miserable week on the West coast during which they won only one five games, the Bucks unexpectedly got to spend one more night away from home.
"We've got a couple hour time difference and a four-hour flight to get into Milwaukee," said coach Larry Krystkowiak after seeing his team drop its fourth straight game. "So we weren't going to get in until the middle of the night anyway. It might not be such a bad thing for us to get a normal night's rest in Sacramento…but then spending most of the day getting back. We have to turn it around and play Orlando on Wednesday night so that's not much time."
The Bucks held a 10-point lead with 11 minutes 28 seconds left in Monday's game only to see the Kings take advantage of three Milwaukee turnovers and run off 12 straight points to take a 78-76 lead with 9:34 left.
The lead changed hands several times after that and the game was tied, 93-93, with 1 minute left.
A layup by Sacramento's Ron Artest broke the tie and Milwaukee's Mo Williams then threw the ball trying to feed Andrew Bogut in the paint. John Salmons made one free throw with 14.8 seconds left and Redd missed a three-pointer from the deep corner in the closing seconds.
"I had a decent look," said Redd. "I pump-faked and just missed. We played well except for that one stretch when they scored 10 or 12 straight points. And that's the game. They hit some big shots and that was the game. We've got to close out games. We did it early in the season, but now we're not."
Redd scored 24 points for the Bucks who shot 42.9%. Bogut finished with 14 points and nine rebounds, while Williams had 12 points and nine assists. Salmons led the Kings with 22 points.
Coach Larry Krystowiak agreed that Sacramento's 12-0 run was the killer.
"We had a nice lead and there was some energy on the floor," he said. "The defense was great, it's what got us there. We made some shots and then we had that series of turnovers. We got sloppy. We turned the ball over and our turnovers led to immediate points. It wasn't like we even had a chance to defend. That was the one stretch of the game that we got sloppy. The rest of the game we took care of it."
With Redd scoring 16 points, the Bucks led at halftime, 48-47. The Bucks' 49-42 lead with 51 seconds left in the second quarter was the biggest for either team in the first half, but a layup by Artest and a three-pointer by Salmons closed the half. The Bucks took a 74-66 lead after three quarters but couldn't hold on.
"It was a tough win for us," said Kings coach Reggie Theus. "We missed a lot of shots early. We missed about eight layups in the first half and seven free throws and I thought that really had an effect on some of the things that were happening on the floor just in terms of morale and energy level. But in the end, we made the plays we had to make to win the basketball game and that's the really the only thing that's important."

For some reason, this Holiday season seems a bit busier than previous years. Since Thanksgiving, I have been going non stop with various work functions, special events, parties and projects. This past weekend, I finally had a brief moment to breathe. My first thought: Brunch. Brunch is one of my favorite meals. It's like breakfast with the dial turned way up. And… who doesn't love a meal that encourages day drinking? So on Sunday, I invited one of my friends over and whipped up a delicious batch of Panettone French Toast. Served beside crispy strips of bacon and a fiery bloody mary, this dish is exactly what I needed to get through the rest of the Holiday season. Continue reading for the recipe.
Red Quinoa and Roasted Acorn Squash Salad
Autumn is my favorite time of the year. Although I no longer get to enjoy the beauty of the changing leaves here in San Diego, I still get to enjoy new fall fashions and seasonal ingredients. Around this time of the year, I usually trade in my whites, linens and shorts for darker neutrals, tweeds, leather and denim. What intrigues me the most about fall fashion is the wide variety of prints and textures (great for layering). In regard to autumn produce, I just love squash, figs, apples, pears, onions and sweet potatoes (I could go on and on here, but I'll stop). This Red Quinoa Salad with Roasted Acorn Squash features two of my seasonal favorites – squash and red onions. Topped with a pistachio arugula dressing, this salad is healthy, hearty and deliciously complex.
Olive Oil Granola
Over the past year, granola has become quite the staple in my every day diet. You can find me snacking on a handful of granola either mid morning, mid afternoon or in the evening (or any combination thereof). Granola is such a healthy and delicious way to curb your hunger in between main meals (especially when paired with plain Greek yogurt).
Recently, I have been making my own granola at home to save a bit on my grocery bill. This recipe for Olive Oil Granola is utterly amazing, simple and so versatile! Not a fan of cardamom? Try nutmeg instead. Don't like pumpkin seeds? Substitute in slivered almonds or chopped walnuts. The possibilities are limitless. Continue reading for the recipe.

Solar, Wind No Longer Face High Capital Costs, Says Shah
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- Developers of solar and wind power projects can now access capital at a lower cost, paving the way for continued growth, Jigar Shah, founder and former chief executive officer of SunEdison said in an interview.
Capital costs are now often less than 6 percent to 7 percent thanks to financing sources and greater investor comfort with financing renewable energy projects, Shah said today at the Bloomberg New Energy Summit today in New York.
"Most people in this room believe that access to the lowest cost of capital is completed," said Shah, who heads a consulting company, in an interview.
New financing methods such as yield companies -- separate businesses that own power plants being pursued by Abengoa SA and NRG Energy Inc. -- and increased participation in the industry by pension funds make sense because the cost of making those projects is fixed, Shah said.
"The question is: can developers develop enough projects to satiate the money?" he said. "Can this industry really deliver the deals now that the money isn't an issue? Can you feed the beast? We are long money and short deals."

The Malik Report
High heat and humidity might make the Joe's ice less than 'fast' tonight
by George Malik on 05/20/13 at 03:06 PM ET
Comments (7)
As noted in the game-day update thread and as mentioned this morning, Southeastern Michigan's expecting temperatures to peak around 90 degrees this afternoon and evening, and the local weatherpeople are forecasting a significant possibility of severe thunderstorms, so while the Chicago Blackhawks gushed about playing on the "fast ice" at Joe Louis Arena yesterday, the Detroit News's Matt Charboneau notes that the ice might not be so nice after all:
It was a common refrain around Joe Louis Arena on Monday as the Red Wings and Blackhawks prepared for Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals: The ice in Detroit is among the best in the league.
But even the playing surface inside Joe Louis Arena suffers when the temperatures outside are in the upper 80s and the humidity is high.
"It is good ice here," Chicago's Viktor Stalberg said after the team's morning skate. "But it didn't feel great this morning maybe because the heat outside. It usually is one of the better surfaces, that's for sure. It makes the game a little quicker and the puck tempo better."
The Red Wings bring in gigantic dehumidifiers that they park outside the Joe to aid in removing moisture from the air, but you can only do so much to aid a 34-year-old building's cause when you open the doors to let 20,000 people in, so the Wings and Hawks alike should expect the ice to be slushy and wet in the 1st period and hopefully improve as the game goes along. Al Sobotka and the Wings' building crew definitely have their work cut out for them tonight.

Cotsonika offers a definitive profile of Red Wings coach Mike Babcock
by George Malik on 05/20/13 at 03:01 PM ET
Comments (4)
Yahoo Sports' Nicholas J. Cotsonika wrote one helluva profile of Wings coach Mike Babcock, and like Babcock himself, it pulls no punches while leaning heavily upon the impressions Babcock has made upon Brendan Smith and Jakub Kindl:
The Wings made the playoffs for the 22nd consecutive season, winning their last four games to get in. They upset the second-seeded Ducks in the first round, coming back from 2-1 and 3-2 series deficits to win in seven games. They entered Monday night tangled in a 1-1 tie with the top-seeded Chicago Blackhawks, responding to a 4-1 loss with a 4-1 win.
"He's one of the best coaches in the NHL for a reason," said defenseman Jakub Kindl.
It's not because he's warm and fuzzy. It has been an open secret around the Wings that Babcock has clashed with players for years now, from the top to the bottom of the roster. He has clashed with management this season, too, about how certain players are used and the composition of the roster, often issuing public reminders of how much less he has at his disposal. But is that a negative? Or is that a positive? Or does your perception depend on the results?

Wings Must Play Big And Match Chicago's Effort Tonight
by Paul on 05/20/13 at 11:02 AM ET
Comments (8)
from Craig Custance of ESPN (paid subscription),
The best playoff teams have that element of size and strength in their top-six, and it's something Abdelkader provides for Detroit. Over the course of a long series, his physical style against the Blackhawks' best players can potentially chip away at their will and wear them down....
And Ericsson has settled in as a reliable partner with Niklas Kronwall, developing into a player Babcock can trust completely. With the Red Wings' season on the line in Game 7 against the Ducks, he played 26:10, the most ice time he has gotten in any game this year that didn't go into overtime.
"He's playing like a No. 2, that's a major progression for him," the NHL scout said. "He has size. He plays like a stopper and he can move the puck. He wants to do more with the puck, he thinks he can and he's getting there."...
If Detroit is a split second late, Chicago will blow right by them. It's why the Blackhawks are the best team in the league right now and why it's hard to put together back-to-back efforts like the Red Wings did Saturday against them.
When the Wild beat the Blackhawks in overtime in the first round, Chicago responded by scoring eight of the next nine goals to end Minnesota's season.
That's what a championship team does and there's no reason to believe the Blackhawks won't find that same effort tonight in Game 3. Whether or not Detroit matches it will go a long way in revealing just how much they've closed the gap.

Jonathan Toews vs. the World, I mean Red Wings?

Sportsnet posted quite the clip hyping the "Red Wings and Henrik Zetterberg vs. Jonathan Toews' frustration" angle heading into Game 3 between Detroit and Chicago this evening (7:30 PM EDT, NBCSN/CBC/97.1 FM, post-game on FSD). Toews! Zetterberg! Babcock!
Kronwalled? Not likely, but TSN duly noted that the Hawks possess a 9-1-and-1 record at Joe Louis Arena since 2010, and that's plain old scary.

Red Wings-Blackhawks Game 3 set-up: exceeding one's performance envelope
by George Malik on 05/20/13 at 02:34 AM ET
Comments (8)
The Detroit Red Wings will face literal and figurative heat tonight as they attempt to carve out a 2-1 series lead over the Chicago Blackhawks (7:30 PM EDT, NBCSN/CBC/97.1 FM, post-game on FSD). The Hawks are going to make a lineup change in adding Viktor Stalberg, they're still determined to make this series a short one, and the local weatherpeople are forecasting temperatures of 85-90 degrees in Southeastern Michigan for this afternoon, so Al Sobotka's has his work cut out for him ensuring that both teams aren't skating on gravel, too.
This game is obviously a little different if you happen to believe that momentum transfers from game to game: just as there was a two-day break between Games 1 and 2, the Wings and Hawks won't play Game 4 until Thursday and Game 5 on Saturday (at 8 PM EDT), and as you already know, Jonathan Toews' complaints about a lack of hooking and holding penalties called will probably fall upon rabbit ears, not deaf ones, so it's going to be an uphill climb for the Wings...
In no small part because the Blackhawks have absolutely owned Detroit at Joe Louis Arena of late--they swept the Wings in two games this season and have absolutely dominated the Wings at home over the course of the last couple of regular seasons, with the Chicago Tribune's Chris Kuc pegging Chicago's record at JLA at 9-1-and-1 since the 2010-2011, so the Hawks told Kuc that home ice is what you make of it...

"I talked about when DeKeyser came, he helped us immensely. Whenever we got confidence or got playing better, we were able to maintain it when he left to a certain level -- we still don't move the puck the same, but I just think we're a better team. We weren't a good team at the start."
Another big move for the Red Wings was the rise of forward Justin Abdelkader. He was one of the kids when Detroit made back-to-back trips to the Cup Final in 2008 and '09, but Abdelkader had seemed to settle in as a bottom-six forward.
That changed when Babcock tried him on a line with Datsyuk, and he's now a critical element of the team's top trio.
"He's been a dominant physical guy for us and made us a better team," Babcock said. "It took us a long time to figure out where everybody fit best. There were lots of changes, new guys that we brought in that didn't fit the way we thought they were, or were better than we thought they were. We've just kind of watched it happen."
much more from Babcock...

I feel flutters very rarely...can't wait until it's consistent. I'm sure around 20 weeks when their bones are a lot harder we'll all be amazed by all the prodding. It'll happen for you soon! :)

"Not all those who wander are lost." -J.R.R. Tolkien
Amber, you're so funny! I think that's the case more often than many of us would care to admit! I was feeling the occasional flutter/swish, and an occasional popcorn a around 15 weeks, but lately I have felt almost nothing. I was developing enough anxiety between OB visits that I finally broke down and got a home doppler, which has helped relax me. I've read that you don't necessarily feel things sooner with twins. Here's a couple things to consider, which might put minds at ease 1) around where I am now, 17 weeks, the babies' bones are just starting to calcify and turn to bones rather than cartiledge, and their muscles are still very weak, so they will only barely be picking up strength around this time. 2) because there are two placentas, or at least a bigger placenta for any mo/di or mo/mo moms, there is a higher chance of an anterior placenta (where it's toward our belly button rather than our back or side), which also cushions their movement and makes it harder to feel. This was the case with my singleton DD, and I didn't feel good movments until probaby around 25 weeks.

hahhaaa amber, i hear you with the gass thing
artsmani, is the home doppler working? everytime they try to find HB with doppler at dr i have to go for an ultrasound as they dont find it (nervewrecking) so i had thought i would buy one but now i dont dare as i would freak if i didnt hear them?
I recently started to feel the flutters on a consistent basis. I'm 18 weeks and loving it! Yesterday I was in a meeting at work and just started laughing so hard because both babies were moving at the same time. In the beginning I used the doppler just to put my self at ease.

Unlike linebacker Trevardo Williams, who immediately got waived after the Texans' re-activated him Thursday, third-year running back Jonathan Grimes came off the injured list and participated fully in practice. Bill O'Brien said the running back had suffered a hamstring strain working out on his own during the Texans' four-week break following their mid-June minicamp.
"It's good to have him back in the competition," O'Brien admitted. "He's smart."
Grimes, originally an undrafted free agent in 2012, returned to the team late last season after Foster went on injured reserve and Ben Tate suffered broken ribs. He's one of a half-dozen players vying for the backup job behind Foster. A current undrafted rookie, Alfred Bleu from LSU, received a compliment from O'Brien.
"I've been impressed with his football knowledge," the coach said. "It hasn't always been perfect, but football's very important to him. He's very good on special teams and I think he's done a decent job running the football. He's been out there every single day (even when he wasn't active). That helps him."

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Australian paper merchant PaperlinX Ltd. is set to appoint Moelis & Co. to assess its funding options, people familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
PaperlinX's profitability has been hurt by consumers spending less on paper products like documents and glossy reports, choosing instead to publish and distribute material online. The company has been selling assets to raise money, and is targeting more sales of non-paper products like signage and packaging.
The advisory mandate will focus on the group's debt facilities, which totaled around 435 million Australian dollars (US$454 million) at Dec. 31, the people said.
At its interim results in February, PaperlinX said it had extended a euro-denominated facility with ING until Sept. 30, 2014. It also said the majority of its debt would mature between 2014 and 2017.
Billabong International shareholders won't be asked to tip more cash into the retailer which announced a first half net loss of 536.6 million Australian dollars (US$553 million), because an equity raising won't solve its problems, said Deutsche Bank.
"Our biggest concern is that fixed charges cover ratio is very tight, largely because of the company's [near] A$90 million in annual lease commitments," Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Simotas told Deal Journal Australia. "Even an equity raising wouldn't fix the problem entirely given the leases are a bigger issue than the debt," he said.
Debtholders of Australian and New Zealand print and logistics provider Geon Group — KKR & Co. and Australia's Allegro Funds — have placed the company into administration and subsequently made an offer to buy the business out of receivership, according to an internal memorandum seen by Deal Journal Australia.
In a note to all Geon staff, Chief Executive Graham Morgan said offers for the business will be taken by receiver McGrathNicol.
"I have been advised that KKR and Allegro, collectively known as KKRM, have already submitted an offer for the business," Mr. Morgan said in the memo. He added this did not preclude other offers coming forward to be considered.
Westpac Banking Corp. has beefed up its global capital markets team, poaching senior bankers from its global peers.
The bank's recent senior hires include former Royal Bank of Scotland head of markets for Australia and New Zealand John Cummins, who is now Westpac's global head of credit; former Bank of America Merrill Lynch head of inflation Andrew Barrelle, who is an executive director within Westpac's rates trading team and former RBC Capital Markets head of markets for the Asia Pacific Mike Bass, who is an executive director within Westpac's capital markets team.
Mr. Cummins and Mr. Barrelle are based in Sydney, while Mr. Bass is located in Singapore. Their appointments come as Westpac undertakes an aggressive push to dominate Australia's debt market.
Australia's Rex Minerals is facing a conundrum common to many mining juniors. Where is a company with a 130 million Australian dollar (US$134 million) market capitalization going to source enough funding to develop what it claims is one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits in Australia?
"That is the A$900-million-dollar question," Chief Executive Mark Parry says of Rex's Hillside copper, iron ore and gold deposit on South Australia's York Peninsula.
Mr. Parry thinks he has the answer in the form of project finance. He told Deal Journal Australia that Rex is now in advanced negotiations with several consortiums–including international contractors, banks and credit agencies–to fund as much as 70-80% of the project's A$900 million costs. That means that Rex could end up having to find only A$200-A$300 million through debt and equity markets, or offtake agreements.
Mr. Parry said Rex expects to select a preferred consortium before the end of June, and to have a deal signed off by October.
Australia-listed ferrosilicon alloy and manganese producer OM Holdings Ltd. has secured commitments attached to around US$300 million of project finance, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
The debt will be split into U.S. dollars and Malaysian ringgit, and will fund the first phase of construction and production at a smelting project in Malaysia's Sarawak state.
QIC, which manages assets on behalf of Australia's Queensland state, has appointed UBS as its debt adviser for toll road operator Queensland Motorways, an asset it bought 18 months ago for 3.1 billion Australian dollars (US$3.2 billion), a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
The adviser is expected to assist in the marketing of an undetermined amount of Australian and U.S. debt which will carry a rating of BBB or BBB+.
London-listed debt investor Intermediate Capital Group has poached National Australia Bank's leveraged and acquisition finance specialist Matthew Turner, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
Sydney-based Mr. Turner, currently a director within NAB's corporate finance division, will join ICG in 2013, targeting investments in senior loans from a yet-to-be raised fund.
Is the Aussie bond party over?
That's the question some investors down under are asking after new figures showed that foreign demand for Australia's triple-A rated, high yielding bonds is starting to cool off, signaling that central banks and sovereign wealth funds have had their fill of the nation's debt.
In a breakdown of third quarter balance of payments data, J.P.Morgan strategist Sally Auld said net supply of Australian government bonds in the three months to Sept. 30 totaled 14.3 billion (US$15 billion), of which offshore buyers bought just 9% .
Equity may be the new debt when it comes to investing in Australian agriculture.
According to Geoff Wearne, Commonwealth Bank of Australia's executive general manager of regional and agribusiness banking, more farmers are seeking ways to raise money through equity from their existing assets, rather than taking on debt in the current uncertain macroeconomic environment.
"If it isn't someone from the family who's taking over the family farm, they can take part-equity and then pay it down over time," said Mr. Wearne in an interview. "It's a journey to exit rather than a straight sale."

Took it for the first spin
Since you guys helped me pick it, I thought I'd post here. Took the DR out for the first time last week. Short ride. I stopped to do a walk around and discovered I'd forgotten to put the plate on it, so I scurried home. Seems to have a lot of juice. I was surprised how fast I was going several times. I am used to a much heavier bike.
I've taken it apart since to check out a few things.
Need chain and sprockets, those are ordered.
Ordered new front springs, rear next month. (I'm broke)
Needs a few bolts, nuts here and there. Ordered
The airbox has been modded and K&N filters added. Got some hoses hanging out that I need to trace. Need to pull the carb and see what jetting was done.
Bike came with an unmounted Kenda 705. Need to get a tube and mount that. Do you guys use rim protectors? I've never mounted a tire on an aluminum rim.
Has a new Destanzia on the rear.
Did some touch up paint on the frame.
Cut off those nasty fork skins. I've purchased standard gaitors, but I'm missing two clamps, those are ordered.
Got some SS case guards, need to mount those.
I will probably lower it. I'm short and the big problem is not in the riding, but mounting and more so the dismounting. I've got the short kickstand, so I thought I'd factory lower the rear and slide the forks up in the front. If I like it, I'll do the factory lower on the front when I add some emulators.
When is Rick's Rendevous and do you have a rookie class?
Anyone running a case protector on the counter sprocket?
A seat is next after the suspension.

Zuma to Brush Off Scandal Over State Spending on His Home
March 20 (Bloomberg) -- The South African graft ombudsman's decision that President Jacob Zuma "benefited unduly" from state-funded work on his home is the latest in a series of scandals that hasn't threatened his grip on power.
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela urged Zuma to repay "a reasonable percentage" of the project's cost of 215 million rand ($20 million) for security upgrades to his private home in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province. Some funds were diverted from inner-city regeneration projects to pay for work that included building a cattle enclosure, a chicken coop and a swimming pool that was called a fire-fighting reservoir, she said.
"Some of these measures can be legitimately classified as unlawful and the acts involved constitute improper conduct and maladministration," she said. Minenhle Makhanya, Zuma's personal architect, earned 16.5 million rand from the project, according to the report.
Zuma, 71, became the nation's president in 2009, weeks after prosecutors dropped charges against him for allegedly taking bribes from arms dealers. A polygamist with four wives and 21 children, Zuma was acquitted of rape charges in 2006. An Indian family that he's friends with landed a plane at a high security air force base, breaching military rules, last year to transport guests to a wedding.
"The scandal is not water off a duck's back, but Zuma is a survivor par excellence," Anne Fruhauf, a southern Africa analyst at New York-based risk evaluator Teneo Intelligence, said by phone yesterday. "He has survived just about any imaginable type of scandal."
Zuma Jeered
Zuma has been jeered twice in the past four months at public events, including the memorial for the late Nelson Mandela attended by world leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama in Johannesburg in December.
In an interview this month, Zuma dismissed the booing as "not a big deal. I don't take anything personal from it. I am a politician."
The Public Protector's report won't inflict heavy political damage on the ruling African National Congress among poor voters, William Gumede, a political analyst at the University of the Witwatersrand, said in a phone interview from Johannesburg. About 60 percent of South Africa's voters are either unskilled or receive social grants and will remain loyal to the ANC because it remains their most likely source of an income, he said.
"They would put all of their hopes in the ANC, even if there is a failure at the top," Gumede said. "It's a survival thing for them."
Election Impact
After winning more than 60 percent in every vote since 1994, the ANC's support dropped by 10 percentage points to 53 percent in the past year, according to an Ipsos opinion poll. General elections are scheduled for May 7.
"The ANC does what it wants," Mosiuoa Lekota, a former defense minister who was an ANC member for 31 years and quit the party in 2008 to found the opposition Congress of the People. "They run the country like a principality. The only people you would find defending the ANC today are those benefiting from corruption."
There have been more than 100 protests over the lack of public services this year, according to the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies.
The main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, called for the National Assembly to impeach Zuma. The Alliance said today that it sent a delegation to the site of the president's home in Nkandla in order to lay criminal charges for corruption over the improvements.
Those are "in addition to the 783 counts of corruption, money-laundering and fraud that the DA is still in court fighting for President Zuma to answer to," it said.
Opposition Ammunition
"The report has provided some ammunition to many of the parties that have nothing to offer to the electorate," ANC Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe said today in Johannesburg. While party officials involved in mismanagement "must be brought to book," it's up to the government to determine who's responsible, he said.
Madonsela said she couldn't conclude Zuma had knowingly misled parliament when he spoke about the residence in the National Assembly earlier. He should respond to the report in the National Assembly within 14 days, she said. While parliament was adjourned before the elections, it may be called back into session.
Corruption Concerns
"In many ways, Nkandla typifies voter concerns with corruption and self-enrichment by the politically connected," Mark Rosenberg, an Africa analyst at New York-based Eurasia Group, said in e-mailed comments yesterday. "We expect additional electoral fallout from the report will be limited. Zuma is highly unlikely to resign."
Zuma's province of KwaZulu-Natal, home to South Africa's Zulu ethnic group, accounts for 27 percent of ANC members. The number of voters in the province who cast ballots for the ruling party in 2009 almost doubled to 68 percent compared with 1994.
A former ANC intelligence chief, Zuma secured support for a second term as party leader from three-quarters of delegates at a 2012 conference.
"I can't see Zuma rolling over and saying: 'Here's a check," Paul Hoffman, a director at the Institute for Accountability in Southern Africa, said by phone from Cape Town today. "It's possible that Zuma will want to take the matter to court on review."
While Justice Minister Jeff Radebe said yesterday that everything built at the house was designed to enhance security, he acknowledged there were "elements of maladministration, corruption and inefficiencies" in the project.
Madonsela described the government's handling of the Nkandla project as "a toxic concoction of a lack of leadership, a lack of control and focused self-interest."
Zuma "was wearing two hats, that of the ultimate guardian of the resources of the people of South Africa and that of being a beneficiary of public privileges," she said.

When the Appointments Committee of Parliament resumed sitting yesterday to vet the President's nominees for various ministerial positions; connoisseurs were keen on seeing how the committee
would grill Mrs. Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, Minister-designate for Justice and Attorney-General, especially those bothering on judgment debts.
However, their hopes were dashed when the Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Ebo Barton-Odro stamped his authority to prevent committee members from asking the nominee questions on judgment debts. It all started after members had taken the nominee through the first round of questions on her CV when the Vice-Chairman of the committee, Hon. Alfred Agbesi sought audience with Mr. Barton-Odro to question the nominee on how she intends to deal with judgment debts since it has become a major issue of concern to the country.
Moments after asking the question, Mr. Barton-Odro, popularly known as 'No Case', ruled that members stay away from asking any question relating to judgment debt, since there was a Commission currently looking into the issues of judgment debts that have rocked the country. His ruling was not convincing enough to Mr. Agbesi, who insisted that the nominee be allowed to answer the question in the interest of many Ghanaians.
According to the Member of Parliament for Ashiaman, the nation has lost billions of cedis through judgment debts as a result of wrongful cancellation of government contracts awarded to certain individuals and companies and it was important the nominee shares her thoughts on how the country can do away with judgment debts.
Mr. Barton-Odro sensing the implication of Mr. Agbesi's question reasserted his stance on the issue, insisting that members refrain from asking questions bothering on judgment debts. "Hon. Members, no judgment debt questions here. I am in charge. There is currently a Sole Commissioner looking into the issues of judgment debts. I would be prudent for as to wait for his recommendations on
how to handle that matter," he ruled.
Though his ruling was received with mixed feelings, members had no option than to stick to it. Mr. Barton-Odro could have easily been challenged on the issue if the minority members had not abstained from the committee. Their absence, therefore, gave Mr. Barton-Odro a field day to operate.
It was not clear whether Mr. Barton-Odro's comments on the State versus Woyome would have been referred to the nominee to share her thoughts on. Mr. Barton-Odro is on record to have said that the State had no case against businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome's controversial GH¢51m judgment debt awarded him.

Mike Stilkey
Los Angeles native Mike Stilkey has always been attracted to painting and drawing not only on vintage paper, record covers and book pages, but on the books themselves. Using a mix of ink, colored pencil, paint and lacquer, Stilkey depicts a melancholic and at times a whimsical cast of characters inhabiting ambiguous spaces and narratives of fantasy and fairy tales. A lingering sense of loss and longing hints at emotional depth and draws the viewer into their introspective thrall with a mixture of capricious poetry, wit, and mystery. His work is reminiscent of Weimar-era German expressionism and his style has been described by some as capturing features of artists ranging from Edward Gorey to Egon Schiele.

Arty Globe: Greenwich Market
Decided to go for a wonder around Greenwich market today and stumbled across this wonderful shop. The following has been taken from the shop's website.
'Arty Globe by Hartwig Braun' is a brand of high-end and very detailed cityscapes, architectural images, maps and other cultural heritage icons, all originally hand-drawn by Hartwig Braun, the artist. A full panoramic city image can take up to several months to create; such is the complexity of the detail required in each illustration.
The ethos behind the business is very much that art is not just for the wall and can be enjoyed by all. The collection on offer has expanded steadily from prints and canvases for the wall to stationery, homeware, clothing, gifts, collectibles and accessories as a way to make the artwork more accessible to a wider audience.

So here you have it, a basic sugar cookie recipe but with all those chai spices mixed in. You are going to be tempted to leave out the white pepper but I'm begging you…don't! It's totally, absolutely necessary to the whole chai taste. Trust me.
One last thing about this recipe…I actually worked it up last May, because that was when my chai cookie lightbulb went off in my head, and once they came out as deliciously as I hoped they would, I brought some over to my mom. She took a bite of one and said, "These taste like Christmas!" And you know what? They do! So just in time for Christmas, here are some chai spice cookies from me to you. They go perfectly with a cup of Christmas tea!
Serves: Makes about 48 cookies
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2¾ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup of butter, room temperature
- 1½ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar for dusting
- Mix together cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, pepper and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Sift together flour, cream of tartar and baking soda. Stir in spice mixture until well combined.
- Cream butter and 1½ cups sugar in a mixer at high speed for 3 minutes. Reduce speed and add eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture in large spoonfuls until well combined.
- Put mixing bowl in the refrigerator until dough is chilled, about 90 minutes (although it can be longer if you want to make the cookies later in the day).
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350. Scoop out tablespoons of dough, roll them between your palms into balls, dust them with sugar and put them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Press them down with the bottom of a juice glass.
- Bake for about 7 minutes or until they are just turning golden. Cool on racks.

Four new studies addressing basic questions about how life originated and has evolved will be supported by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (DEB). Ranging from nearly $530,000 to just over $1.3 million, NSF's awards for these studies will help resolve long-standing controversies about evolution and about fundamental biological responses to environmental changes, including climate change.
These four NSF-funded studies are "particularly exciting because they incorporate innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to advance our understanding of life in transition, which is the story of life on earth," says Robert Sterner, DEB director. In addition, "these studies address timely, important questions about how humans got here and have impacted our planet," says Sterner. Therefore, NSF expects these studies to generate broad public interest.
These four studies are as follows:
As a filter feeder, each baleen whale strains sea water for plankton and other small creatures through its baleen--a comb-like structure that hangs from its upper jaw. By integrating anatomical studies of fossils and skeletons with genetic studies of baleen whales, the research team will help explain the molecular, structural and genetic changes involved in the evolution of the baleen whale's feeding method. In addition to improving our understanding of baleen whales, this research is expected to yield important insights about how species diverge from one another.

I rated these cookies only two forks because they did not keep overnight. They were delicious out of the oven and for the first day. The next day they were a flavorless limp mess. If you make these, plan to eat them quickly.
quick and easy. my favorite way to make these is add 2 sliced rasberries on top (while glaze is still wet) to give a sweet/tart balance.
I suspect Miss Lewis was referring to her tea cakes when she spoke of buttermilk cookies. Her recipe, which is included in the cookbook she did with Scott Peacock, is divine.
Tried baking the cookies with and without parchment and they were delicately crisp around the edges without the parchment and still very soft. Those baked with the parchment were very soft. Divine and delicate, my co- workers are still thanking me for them after eating them 3 days ago.
These cookies were very tasty! I'm glad I read other reviews before I made them. I doubled the lemon zest in both the cookie recipe and the icing. Perfect served with afternoon tea.
This is a nice old fashioned drop type cookie. I increased the lemon zest and really liked the flavor. They taste a lot like madeleines-but with icing! The appearance is the only thing lacking. Not very seductive on the plate.
These weren't great. Too cakey for my taste. I won't make them again, but if I did I'd either add more sugar to the recipe or use less flour.
I love these cookies! They are nice and light without being too sweet. Like others, I added extra lemon zest to the cookies and the glaze. Next time I would like to try making the recipe with almond flavoring instead of lemon.
I just made these cookies, and I really like them! They remind me a lot of the tops off cupcakes. After reading other bakers' reviews, I used extra lemon zest (most of the zest from a pretty large lemon) and they came out with a delicious lemony flavor.
I loved this cookies! They are classic southern treats! I found that using home made lemon curd was a great way to pump up the lemon flavor by using that instead of a glaze. make these cookies often and everyone always likes them!

For diehard fan, it's not just Seger; it's Seger AND Silver Bullet Band | VIDEO
EVANSVILLE - Evansville resident Rick Barton wanted to make one thing clear Friday morning while standing outside the VenuWorks office on Main Street.
He is not waiting for tickets to the Bob Seger show scheduled for Nov. 9 at the Ford Center.
"Everyone needs to get this straight — it's not just Bob Seger," Barton said. "It's Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band."
Barton was the first — and only — Seger/Silver Bullet Band fan found Friday standing in stand in line to purchase tickets, which go on sale at 10 a.m. today. Barton set up his camp on Wednesday morning.
When asked what took such dedication, Barton fired back with questions of his own.
"So, you've never seen him before?" Barton asked. "Well then that answers your question."
Barton said he enjoys all of Seger's music.
"You can play one record and play it all the way to the end," he said. "And yeah, I still listen to vinyl."
Evansville VenuWorks Director Scott Schoenike said Barton's dedication yielded some early success. Schoenike said show organizers outfitted Barton with two front-row seats.
"And I got those right here, near and dear to my heart," Barton said, patting on the breast pocket of his shirt.
Schoenike said his office has been flooded with phone calls from people wanting to know when Seger tickets would go on sale. Some patrons became concerned when a fledgling local news blog reported websites selling tickets ahead of schedule. Schoenike said spreading that rumor was plain old tomfoolery.
"If those websites are selling tickets, they don't actually have them," Schoenike said. "There's no way anyone could have the actual tickets until tomorrow morning."
Actually, the one proviso to that were members of the Bob Seger fan club. They were offered first dibs on the tickets Thursday.
"But if anyone else bought tickets before they officially on sale, I hope they get them because those people selling them have no way of getting them early," Schoenike said.
Schoenike said his office also was getting calls about the Nov. 11 performance by country acts Reba McEntire and The Band Perry. Those tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 23. Tickets for a Dec. 7 performance by Trans Siberian Orchestra also will go on sale at noon Sept. 23.
Barton said he could not even count the number of shows he had seen over the years. He recalls last seeing Seger at Cobo Arena in the rocker's hometown, Detroit. As for seeing Seger in the Ford Center, Barton said the jury still is out.
"It looks pretty from the outside but I've never been inside," he said. "I'll have to see how it sounds before I can decide."
Another question for Barton was if had front row seats for Seger, what kept him waiting for the ticket window to open. Barton finally replied with an answer.
"I've got a buddy who was injured so now I'm helping him out," Barton said. "I'll still be out here till those tickets go on sale."

You can easily buy one at the first site you visit. There is not really a need to buy one ahead. It is all pretty low key. You just sign your name in a spiral notebook abd they give you a card and you sign the back of it. Then at the next site you visit, you show the card and sign their book. It is definitely worth the price if you plan to visit several sites. Plus they give you a catalog type book with your pass that is helpful too. Another tip-- Cash only for payment, no credit cards.
