Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
27 Jun 2013 11:57 GMT | Politics, Asia, Mongolia
Mongolian President Tsakhia Elbegdorj has been re-elected for a second term, the country's election commission has said quoting preliminary results.
The commission announced on Thursday that Elbegdorj got 50.23 percent of the votes, beating a former wrestling champion, Bat-Erdene Badmaanyambuu of the People's Party, and health minister Udval Natsag, of the People's Revolutionary Party.
The win preserves the dominance of the Democratic Party, which won the most seats, though not an absolute majority, in last year's parliamentary vote, and heads a coalition government keen to regulate foreign investments.
Al Jazeera's Divya Gopalan, reporting from the capital Ulan Bator, said that many challenges lie ahead including how to share the wealth from the country's mining boom.
"As the president's supporters celebrate, many international businesses will be relieved. In his first four years in office, Elbegdorj encouraged foreign investment, particularly in the mining sector and Mongolian voters want a bigger share of that. The re-elected president now has four years to work out, how to keep the economy on track while balancing the needs of international businesses with those of his people" she reported.
But the result of Wednesday's election would not be official until the ballot papers were counted again on delivery to Ulan Bator, Mongolia's General Elections Commission chief, Sodnomtseren Choinzon, said.
Free-market advocate
Elbegdorj , who wants more controls on foreign mining investments, became president in 2009 after twice serving as premier.
He is a free-market advocate, but his government has increasingly adopted a more "resource nationalist" approach, with laws to give the country a bigger stake in "strategic assets", such as mines.
Mongolia ended seven decades of communist rule in 1990 without a shot being fired.

Customer Reviews for Hot Spot Yoga (1)
July 29, 2011
Money hungry yoga place.....
I signed up in februery 8th for one month membership and when it was over I have sighned up fo 3 month membership on march 8th. I did not go for more then4 or 5 classes. It was very uncomfortable to take classes in Hot Spot Yoga because only one instructor (Ralph) knows what he is doing and he has very limited hours. I was upset when they kept charging me for 5 month.my three month membership became 5 month membership. explanation for that was that first month was pro-rated as it started march 8th and it did not count as a month. However, membership plan before was from Febuary 8th to March 8th and perfectly counted as a month. Well, I guess expecting good customer service from Hot Spot Yoga ..... was wrong. Owner of that place should have long term goals for the bussiness not short term money....

To remove rust from stainless steel knives, use a baking soda and water solution. Rub the solution on the rusted area with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and wipe the rust off with a dry paper towel.Know More
Combine 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of baking soda in a small bowl or measuring cup. Stir the mixture to dissolve the baking soda.
Saturate a toothbrush with the baking soda and water solution, and scrub the rusted area of the knife as long as necessary to break up the rust. As you scrub, the baking soda gently dissolves the rust and lifts it off the surface of the knife. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners to remove rust from stainless steel knives, because these products can scratch the surface and remove the finish.
Rinse the knife under running water to remove the baking soda solution, and wipe off the residue with a dry paper towel. If rust is left on the knife, scrub it again with the toothbrush and baking soda solution until all of the rust comes off.
To remove rust from chrome, wash the chrome surface with chrome cleaner and water, use steel wool with chrome polish to rub off the rust, and then rinse and dry the surface. You need soft cloths, chrome cleaner, water, rubber gloves, steel wool and chrome polish to complete this task.Full Answer >

A Festivus Miracle: Hyde Park's Stolen Christmas Tree Returned
We told you Monday how someone had stolen the traditional outdoor Christmas tree put up by the Hyde Park neighborhood in Montrose.
Dry those tears: The miracle we foretold occurred: The dude who took it returned it, and all is well.
"GREAT NEWS!!!! The Hyde Park Community Christmas Tree has been returned! Thanks to everyone involved that saved our spirit!!!!" was the message on the Facebook page of Stephen Hill, one of the organizers of the event.
CultureMap reports that the man who stole it -- and returned it on condition of remaining anonymous -- believed the tree had been abandoned.
"The person said he'd seen the local news reports and quickly realized the tree belonged to the neighborhood," Bodenhamer explained. "He saw the tree sitting in Lamar Park and thought it was abandoned. He said he brought the tree home to 'rescue it' and 'keep it safe.'
The tree had not yet been decorated.
So there you have it. Lifetime movie coming in 5, 4, 3......

I used a special offer from Novica to purchase a set of the Ocean Blue Fish Ceramic Coasters (Authentic Deep Blue Thai Celadon). The details are amazing and they are both unique - showing the individual hand made work. They are a nice big size - perfect for mugs. These will protect the wood on our kitchen table - and the dark blue color is a perfect match to the blue on our dishes. I highly recommend readers of this get on the email list so they know when there are special offers. These were a present to me for Valentine's Day... I guess from my freshwater fish. They pick out such nice things for me from Novica."

"I have acquired several rings from Mr Darmawan. I feel his offerings for men are the best on Novica. My favorite is the "Lord of Java" which has a beautiful Amethyst as it's crown. I had wanted a ring with my birthstone for years but couldn't find one to fit my style. This artist got it just right with a dark oval stone. Sadly this selection is currently unavailable here, hopefully it will come back. I also have Kingdom and Regal and am very pleased with those as well also have several others on my wishlist. One design element that I enjoy about most of his rings is the artistic carving on the underside, just really cool and unusual to find. No matter what you choose though, his craftsmanship at this price level definitely stands as a great value. Bradford"

Thinking about buying shares of Twitter when it starts trading Thursday morning on the New York Stock Exchange?
Well go ahead, but don't expect to be getting much of a value. That's certainly the conclusion of several different financial Websites.
In its original initial-public-offering filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Twitter projected to the world that its early investors weren't being overly greedy or at least were playing things cautiously; the range of the deal's offering price would be $17 to $20 a share. (Indeed, based on this price range, Barron's magazine over the weekend ran a modestly positive piece on the IPO's value to shareholders, arguing that the stock was worth buying at up to $30 a share.)
But this past Monday, the company raised its IPO offering price to a range of $23 to $25, signaling that a modest pricing stance was giving way to bullishness. The stock's ticker will be TWTR.
In fact, Bloomberg, in its own valuation analysis of Twitter, argues that the stock at the upper end of its new offering price – assuming an investor even has a chance of getting it that cheap – would be more expensive on a price-to-sales basis than even Facebook FB -0.4250053112385808% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD93.7399 -0.4001 -0.4250053112385808% /Date(1438700405616-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1372982 P/E Ratio 91.33980582524272 Market Cap 263858431006.815 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1591370 More quote details and news » (ticker: FB) is now. (Since Twitter, unlike Facebook, doesn't generate any profits, analysts have been using price-to-sales as a comparable metric.)
"That would value [Twitter] at 11.8 times its estimated 2014 sales, higher than the 11.4 times price-to-sales ratio for Facebook," writes Bloomberg.
But what is the likelihood that any retail investor will be able to purchase shares for close to the new, higher offering range? As Bloomberg points out, Twitter is "already several times oversubscribed at $25 a share and is set for a final offering price above that, people familiar with the situation said."
That's often the way these highly publicized IPOs play out. According to a recent Forbes article, a stock opens for trading at a price 49% higher than the offering price. "Only 9% more upside occurs on the first day of trading," Forbes wrote. "This means investors who get allocated stock on the IPO earn 71% of their return on that first trade. Investors who buy after the stock starts trading miss out on the bulk of the highly publicized returns."
If Twitter ends up opening for trading at more than $30 a share, and that's certainly possible, the excitement for this IPO among prospective investors will quickly fade. What we'll have is just another fully valued stock, like most of the others on the NYSE.
Indeed, according to Insider Monkey, a financial Website devoted to analyzing filings by corporate insiders, Twitter isn't the kind of company that America's most famous investor, Warren Buffett, would buy.
For one, Twitter's price-to-sales multiple, being at least that of Facebook's, is simply too rich for America's most famous value investor.
"Equally as important, we also expect that the billionaire will take issue with Twitter's outlook over the next 15 to 20 years," writes Insider Monkey's Jake Mann. "While some may argue that the microblogging service can generate more advertising revenue than a Facebook or a LinkedIn, for example, there's still no guarantee that Twitter will be around in two decades. Obviously, there's no such thing as 100% certainty in any industry, but there are fewer risks facing Buffett's favorite investments, like Wells Fargo WFC 0.10360904852357106% Wells Fargo & Co. U.S.: NYSE USD57.97 0.06 0.10360904852357106% /Date(1438700401950-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 615371 P/E Ratio 14.156479217603913 Market Cap 297752729807.068 Dividend Yield 2.5906735751295336% Rev. per Employee 345142 More quote details and news » (WFC) and Coca-Cola KO -0.1203659123736158% Coca-Cola Co. U.S.: NYSE USD41.49 -0.05 -0.1203659123736158% /Date(1438700394091-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1351760 P/E Ratio 24.18713450292398 Market Cap 178698168433.845 Dividend Yield 3.1914893617021276% Rev. per Employee 350983 More quote details and news » (KO) than there are to any social media company."
"Putting the final nail in the proverbial coffin, we also know that from Twitter's S-1 filing, it has no plans to declare dividends in the foreseeable future," Mann concludes.
Maybe this is a stock that you buy on a dip down the road. That strategy certainly worked for Facebook shares.

FOXBORO -- When it came to the Patriots, it was a total team breakdown the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
Looking for blame in the wake of the Patriots surprising 28-13 loss to the Ravens in Sunday's AFC title game? How about the secondary, which -- after Aqib Talib went down with a thigh injury in the first half -- suddenly looked an awful lot like the group from earlier in the season that struggled to stop even the most pedestrian of passing games? Then, there's the lack of a consistent pass rush, or a defensive front that failed to knock back the Baltimore offensive line much of the night.
On the other side of the ball, there's the quarterback, who again submitted a subpar performance against the Ravens ... as he has done time and again over the course of his career? Or a running game that never got started, and then, when the Patriots fell behind, was mostly forgotten when New England had to pass to try and get back into the game? Or a group of receivers who -- in the wake of losing Rob Gronkowski -- didn't do enough collectively to help lift the Patriots passing attack?
In fact, the only grouping who might not be at fault here is the special teamers. (More on them in a bit.) In the wake of Sunday's defeat, the rest of the roster will head into the offseason with a lot of questions about their performance that will ultimately leave the 2012 team with a distinctly mixed legacy.
"It always comes to a screeching halt -- that's just the way it is," quarterback Tom Brady said when asked about the flood of emotions that comes with the premature end to a season. "Only two teams advance and those two teams deserve it. We've lost before. It takes awhile to get over."
First, the defense, and the trickle-down effect from losing Talib: The corner came up hobbling midway through the first quarter, and that impact that was felt from the midway of the season going forward was gone. Without Talib, the Patriots defensive backs were exposed: Marquice Cole was pressed into service, and had his issues. Kyle Arrington went from the slot to the outside, and struggled at times. And Alfonzo Dennard was targeted on several occasions, and he also had his problems.
Against a red-hot quarterback like Flacco, the Patriots were left vulnerable, and the Ravens attacked. They seized control early in the second half, and from the midway point of the third quarter through the end of regulation, there was little the New England defense could do to stop them. (In an ironic twist, it was the Ravens who capitalized with the use of the no-huddle in the second half, utilizing an offensive weapon that the Patriots' offense had used to great effect over the last two years.) The domino effect was seen in the box score: there was no pass rush -- Rob Ninkovich had a pair of sacks, but there was no consistency when it came to getting after Flacco. The Ravens rushed for 121 yards, and three different receivers ended up with at least 55 receiving yards.
"They came up kind of up-tempo a little bit with different personnel, and we struggled with it. That's basically what it was," said defensive lineman Vince Wilfork of the difference between the first and second half.
The offense had problems -- the Patriots getting shut out at home in the second half seemed like one of the most unlikely things you would ever see. (Kudos to Shalise Manza-Young of the Globe for coming up with the stat: The last time the Patriots were held to less than two touchdowns? Week 2 of the 2009 season, a 16-9 loss to the Jets.) A key second-half drop from Wes Welker took all the air out of Gillette Stadium. And on a night where they needed him to rise above, Brady was remarkably pedestrian against the Ravens, tossing a pair of picks and looking very mortal.
In the end, a remarkable lack of complementary football from the Patriots -- particularly from a team that had done so well achieving that balance over the last two months -- at the worst possible time sealed their fate. And now, despite the fact that they finished 12-4 and made it to the NFL's version of the Final Four, it'll now be recalled as an eventful -- yet ultimately unfulfilling -- season.
"Obviously, a disappointing end to an overall pretty positive season," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said after the game. "Tonight, we just didn't do enough things well enough to win. Give the Ravens credit; they're a good football team. They just out-played us and out-coached us tonight. They just made more plays than we did. That's pretty much the story."
Here are nine other reasons why the Patriots weren't good enough to advance on Sunday:
The Patriots were in the Baltimore red zone on four occasions and could only come away with one touchdown. That's not good enough, especially at this level against a quality opponent like the Ravens. In the first quarter, on its second offensive series, New England had a 3rd and two at the Baltimore 12, but couldn't pick up the first down when Stevan Ridley ran over right guard for no gain, and they were forced to kick a field goal. The same thing happened at the end of the second quarter, when botched clock management left the Patriots staring at a 2nd and seven from the Baltimore seven, but with only four seconds left. Another field goal -- this time, a 25-yarder by Stephen Gostkowski. Those two situations were enough to doom the New England offense, which ended up turning it over on downs at the Ravens' 19-yard line midway through the fourth quarter in a last-ditch attempt to get closer. A 1-for-4 finish was weak on its own, but when contrasted with Baltimore's 4-for-4 performance in the red zone, looks even weaker.
QUOTE: "Well, we had one timeout left so we were trying to save that for the field goal. I would have loved to get the touchdown there, but we settled for the field goal to go up, whatever it was, 13-7 at the half. We felt pretty good about where we were at halftime, but we just didn't come out in the second half and execute very well." -- Brady on the Patriots poor clock management at the end of the first half.
The free-agent-to-be had a tremendous game, finishing with eight catches (on 12 targets) for 117 yards and the lone New England touchdown. For large portions of the evening, he was the only viable offensive option for a team that had problems moving the chains. But like Super Bowl XLVI, this game will be remembered as one where a key Welker drop doomed the New England offense in an important stretch. With 10:15 left in the third quarter and the Patriots facing a 3rd and eight at the Baltimore 34-yard line, Brady found Welker on a short pass on the left hand side, but the receiver couldn't corral the ball and the Patriots were forced to punt. The idea of punting from the Ravens 34 was debatable, but the fact remains that the drop opened the door for Baltimore, and the Ravens seized the opportunity, scoring on their next possession, taking a 14-13 lead and never looking back. Despite the fact that Welker was drilled on Bernard Pollard on the play before (drawing a 15-yard penalty), he wouldn't use that as an excuse, only saying, "I was fine. I was fine. Just a missed opportunity." He wouldn't get into detail about his future after the game, saying, "I'm not worried about that right now."
QUOTE: "There are a lot of plays in the game; there a lot of things we could have done better, all of us. Like I said, it really wasn't good enough. It wasn't as good as the Ravens tonight. That's why they're moving on and we're not. They were just better than we were in really everything." -- Belichick on whether Welker's third-down drop changed the game.
Brady has always had problems against the Ravens over the course of his career, and while he was (almost) always able to pull out a win, he had his issues with Baltimore again on Sunday night. He had a pair of picks on tipped balls, had at least two other passes batted down, and was responsible for some of the worst clock mismanagement this side of Andy Reid at the end of the first half that caused the Patriots to settle for a field goal instead of trying to punch it in for a touchdown. (And we're not even going to mention the borderline bush-league move of coming in spikes-high against Ed Reed when he was sliding on the final offensive drive at the end of the first half.) In the end, he was 29-for-54 for 320 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions. Better than his usual stat line against Baltimore (coming into the game, he averaged 22-for-38 for 244 yards, one touchdown, one interception and two sacks against the Ravens), but on a day where New England needed the quarterback to be at his best, he wasn't.
QUOTE: "We stayed on track for the most part [and] avoided some negative plays. But they make it tough on you. They're a good team, a very good defense. They kept the pressure on, and we just didn't really stand up to the challenge." -- Brady on the offense and its performance against the Ravens.
One of the reasons New England was unable to generate any real offensive consistency on the night was because one of its best offensive options was cooling his heels (and his injured arm) in Robert Kraft's private box. The Patriots have better offensive depth than 99 percent of the league, but in the end, not having a healthy Gronkowski on the field cost them, both in the passing (one of the best red-zone targets of the last decade, it's hard to imagine another 1-for-4 performance in the red zone if Gronkowski is on the field) and running game (he remains one of the best blocking tight ends in the league). While 2011 will be remembered as the season that Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez blossomed into the best young tight end duo in the NFL, 2012 will be recalled as one where their health issues (Gronkowski missed five games, plus most of both postseason games, while Hernandez missed six-plus regular-season games) ended up derailing the New England offense from its ultimate goal.
QUOTE: "Whatever we did, we didn't execute very well. The name of the game is execution and if you don't execute well against a good team, like I said, you're not going to come up on the winning end." -- Brady on the offensive performance.
Baltimore's ability to go on the road and knock off the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds is nothing short of impressive. First, the Ravens went into Denver and beat the Broncos in a double-overtime classic, taking advantage of a host of Denver mistakes and getting some big plays of their own in the process. Then on Sunday, they were able to come into Gillette and beat a team in New England that had never lost a home AFC title game -- and do it while shutting down the league's most proficient offense in the second half of the biggest game of the year. Frankly, they deserve to get to the Super Bowl at the expense of the Patriots. Regardless of what you think of Terrell Suggs and his gleefully profane postgame chatter, New England had everything set up perfectly for them over the last month, and couldn't close the deal.
QUOTE: "Tell them to have fun at the Pro Bowl." – Suggs, talking about the Patriots after the game.
Even Flacco's harshest critics must understand that the Ravens quarterback is now one of the best in the league. Sunday marked the second consecutive occasion where he outplayed Brady in an AFC title game in Foxboro, and he will head to his first Super Bowl as a result. On Sunday, he was calm, poised and led Baltimore on a series of really impressive scoring drives -- 90 yards, 87 yards, 63 yards and 47 yards -- against a New England defense that had no answer for what he was able to do. It wasn't a wildly impressive stat line: 21-for-36 for 240 yards with three touchdowns and zero picks. But in the end, it was more than enough for the Ravens' offense. Regardless of what happens in two weeks in New Orleans, Flacco -- who will be a free agent -- has set himself up nicely for a impending payday.
QUOTE: "In the first half, we were probably a little bit run-heavy and they did a good job of stopping it, and we came out in the second half and decided to go with what we went with. We didn't come all the way here to play it safe and hope to win. We came here to win the AFC championship game, and you have to play to win." -- Flacco on Baltimore's change of offensive philosophy in the second half.
The Ravens defensive back, who ended Brady's season in 2008 and (fundamentally) did the same to Gronkowski last year, added another notch to his belt on Sunday when he delivered a crushing blow to Ridley, knocking the running back out of the game and effectively ending any chances of a New England comeback. With just under 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter, at the end of an eight-yard run, Ridley collided with Pollard, with the two crashing into each other head-to-head. The ball quickly came loose, and it was clear that Ridley was dazed, with his arms failing about even before he hit the ground. The play was reviewed, but the ruling on the field stood. The hit ended Ridley's night -- the running back ended with 18 carries for 70 yards -- and wrote a new chapter in Pollard's already infamous history involving the Patriots. He ended the game with nine tackles (four solo), as well as one pass defensed and a forced fumble.
QUOTE: "It's just a coincidence, I guess." -- Pollard on how he continues to be involved in so many freak injuries involving the Patriots.
Credit out own Nuggetpalooza for this one. In his game preview, he noted that from 2010-2012, the Patriots are a combined plus-70 in turnover margin in the regular season, by far the best in the league in that span. But during that same span in the postseason (five games before Sunday night), New England has a minus-four turnover margin, tied with the Saints for the worst in the league in that span. That number grew exponentially worse Sunday against the Ravens -- the Patriots turned the ball over three times against Baltimore and didn't get any takeaways of their own. Brady had a pair of picks in the second half (one on a batted ball and another at the end of the game) and Ridley fumbled the ball after a crushing hit from Pollard early in the fourth quarter. It goes without saying, but the takeaway model that has worked so well for New England over the last two-plus regular-seasons has failed them in the playoffs.
QUOTE: "We prepared and expected [as to] how they were going to come at us. We failed to execute. They made their plays, and we came up short on the times when we had opportunities to make plays." -- Linebacker Brandon Spikes on the New England defensive performance.
There's plenty of blame to go around, but on first glance, it's hard to point fingers at the New England special teamers. In fact, that group did an excellent job keeping the Patriots in the game, allowing them to win the battle of field position and doing their part to help keep the game tight. The first five drives of the night for the Ravens started inside their own 15-yard line, and their average starting field position in the first half was their own 11-yard line. Four of Zoltan Mesko's five punts landed inside the 20, while Baltimore's excellent kick returner Jacoby Jones was held to 10.7 yards per return. In addition, kicker Stephen Gostkowski made both field goal attempts (one from 31 and a second from 25). But despite pinning the Ravens deep on several occasions -- and occasionally giving the offense a short field -- it wasn't enough. As we've previously noted, one thing that was odd was the fact that the Patriots decided to punt from the Baltimore 34-yard line midway through the fourth quarter instead of trying a field goal. On a windy night, it would have been a dicey proposition, but after Welker dropped a pass that would have allowed the Patriots to pick up a first down, New England went to Mesko. The Ravens seized the opportunity and scored the go-ahead touchdown on the next series.
QUOTE: "No, there was no thought of kicking a field goal." -- Belichick on whether or not the Patriots were going to try and field goal instead of a punt from the Baltimore 34-yard line.

Through 18 games this season, the 10th overall pick is hitting .391 with 18 RBIs and one home run, and his .557 on base percentage leads the Eugene Emeralds. His fast start also contributed to the Ems' recent 14-game winning streak, which set a Northwest League record. Rogue Valley (1969) and Walla Wall (1973) were previously tied with 13-game streaks of their own.
His early success as a pro has also earned him his own accolades, as he was named as Player of the Week for the Northwest League for each of the first two weeks of the season. Still, the 20-year-old would not take any credit for the Emeralds' quick start this season.
"We have a good team, and we have a great coaching staff, and our team chemistry is unbelievable," Spangenberg said. "I'm just trying to get better in every aspect of the game. You can never be satisfied with where you're at."
The recognition is nothing new for the left-handed hitter. Spangenberg was the Big South Conference Freshman of the year at Virginia Military Institute in 2010, then transferred to Indian River State College in Fort Pierce Fla., where he compiled a .477 batting average.
Just a few days after being drafted, he signed with the Padres and even got a little taste of what it's like to take some swings in the batter's box at PETCO Field.
"The Padres have treated me very well," he said. "They flew me out there for a couple games, and I got to sit right next to the field. I also got to take [batting practice], so that was cool."
San Diego drafted Spangenberg with the intent of keeping him at second base, so he consequently said defense is his main focus as he develops in his professional career. As that development continues, though, his popularity continues to grow, and that's something he's already started to enjoy.
"Signing autographs after the game for little kids is awesome," Spangenberg said. "We have great fan support here in Eugene."
Although the pressure to live up to the hype may get to some, Spangenberg tries to take the simplest approach possible. He was in college just a few months ago but has already found his baseball groove by staying consistent in his demeanor, whether it's in practice, or a game situation.
He said if his baseball career hadn't panned out, he would have liked to have studied secondary education with the ultimate goal of teaching math. That's no longer his focus, though, and he said it's important to not focus on the hype surrounding his early performance.
"You can't really play with that pressure because if you do, it will just hurt you in the long run," he said. "You're playing the game you love for your job, so life can't get any better."
Streak ended: Eugene's 14-game win streak was halted with an 11-1 loss to Vancouver on Wednesday, during which Stephen McQuail left the yard twice, collected four RBIs and scored three times.
Sharing the wealth:: In addition to Spangenberg's award, the Emeralds also boast the Northwest League Pitcher of the Week. RHP Matthew Stites earned the honor after going 1-0 in four games, a span of 5 2/3 innings. He did not allow a single hit while walking two and striking our five.
Big kids: The Everett AquaSox announced an adult baseball camp, which will be led by former Mariner Dave Henderson. The camp, scheduled for Aug. 4-7, is open to anyone over 30 and will give participants the full professional baseball experience, including their own Everett AquaSox jersey.
Don't forget the ladies: The Vancouver Canadians are hosting their fourth annual "Ladies Day on the Diamond," in which the club invites the participants onto Scotiabank Field to learn baseball basics, includes how to accurately score a game, as well as proper training techniques. The one-day event takes place on Saturday, July 16.

Travelling with kids can be both rewarding and stressful.
Our first few family holidays were riddled with disasters – sickness, ear infections, mozzy bites, cancelled before we even left and so on. Now our children are at an age where we can start to relax a bit more and have more fun.
Still, travelling with little people in tow can be hard work. Keeping them entertained on long journeys and keeping them occupied and safe whilst away is not easy.

Travelling with children isn't always easy, but if you are prepared and organised this makes things a whole lot simpler!
We made a great list of all the things we needed for our holiday and thought we would share that with you here.

I don't always have the time to do the cooking at home, but occasionally we have a day where I manage to get home early from work and get into a cooking frenzy! This week, having felt rough for a fair few days I came home early and suddenly had the urge to get in the kitchen. I got the dinner sorted – well sort of, we already had the pulled pork so I made a potato and spring onion salad, and a bowl of mixed salad to go with it – and then the desire to bake cakes hit me. I try to vary what we are baking and this time Jack asked for coffee cakes. So here is the recipe we used to whip us up these quick coffee fairy cakes.
150g sugar
150g butter
1 egg
150g flour
1 teaspoon coffee mixed with a dash of boiling water.
150g icing sugar
