Becca, you have captured the essence of the entire show. We've been a couple of times now and I mean this sincerely, your photos make it far more interesting and beautiful than the reality! That's not to disparage the show, only a comment on our thoughts that it wasn't up to its former glory.
Not so when viewing it with you through your lens. Thank you for capturing and sharing the magic of this show with us.
(Don't you just LOVE the hydrangeas)? :9:
Tink! You've just made me cry in my coffee! Thank you for those lovely words. I understand what you're saying, and I agree (about the "former glory" of the F&G Festival). Over the years, I have definitely seen a drop in the consistency and care given this show (as with so many other things). I guess for me (girl with the black thumb of death) I see so much beauty in even the simplest of flora and fauna because it's something I simply can't accomplish. I am humbled by what they are able to accomplish (even in their "lean" years). Yes, the hydrangeas are my favorite How ever did you know? Jon was taking notes. Unlike me he is incredibly gifted with plant life and is constantly saving the plants I manage to put on the brink of death...he's determined to give me a garden. I love that man.
Issy, I was surprised to see the giraffes as well!!! Aren't they lovely? I think I have a few more (better) photos of them somewhere down the line....
Thanks for the comments guys, glad you're enjoying the photos

Once we get there there was no booking registered. We reserved each night for US$ 100 for a double bed room and once we get there, even with the advanced payment we have done, as they couldn't find it, the've charged us US$ 80 for each bed in the room, so, not only we've lost our booking payment but we also had to pay for each bed an amount which was much more than the hotel could give.

A man charged with attempted first degree murder and three counts of rape may be mentally evaluated before his trial.
Eric Parker is accused of beating, raping and leaving a woman nude the parking lot of the Johnson City Lions Park one year ago on Valentine's Day.
Now, his attorney says his client may have had a head injury before the incident he's charged with and needs a psychiatric evaluation.
According to the Johnson City Press, the attorney claims Parker has little to no memory of the incident and his head injury could have affected his actions that night.

state swim or craige leisure?
Started by bigA , Nov 09 2012 12:55 AM
4 replies to this topic
Posted 09 November 2012 - 12:55 AM
hi there,
we are looking at starting swimming lessons for our 3 children aged 6 and 4 yrs ( twins). just wondering if anyone has any views on whether state swim is better or craige leisure centure is for swim lessons?
Posted 09 November 2012 - 08:48 AM
We currently go to Craigie but have done stateswim in the past, although it was a few years ago. Craigie was cheaper when I last looked although that could have changed. It is currently $126 for a 9 week term. An advantage that stateswim has is that you can book a makeup lesson if you miss one, they don't do that at Craigie. If you miss a lesson there you can get a free family pass to the pool but that has to be used during the term. We used to use Whitfords statswim and around Christmas time it was very difficult to get a parking spot with all of the shoppers. With stateswim they take children into the water to do lessons on their own at an earlier age than Craigie do although I don't think that would be an issue for you. I have found the water temperature to be similar at both pools. Regarding which place has better lessons/teachers, I didn't notice any difference. Craigie has a lot of different levels operating at the same time so it maybe easier to get all of your kids lessons schedules simultaneously?
Edited by Fabulous, 09 November 2012 - 08:51 AM.
Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:40 PM
I have also used both. Generally I prefer stateswim, as they move the children up through the levels when they are ready, without having to wait until the end of the term. I have also found the teachers a little stricter, which my DD needed. And they were more willing to help my DS get over his fear of water. It took them 6 weeks, after 2 wasted terms at Craigie.
Much prefer stateswim, as I said. But I agree with Fabulous - parking can be a hassle. We did Saturday AM for a while, which was a pain.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 01:40 AM
hi there, thanks to you both for your replies.. very much appreciated. stateswim phoned me back today and they are making up a new class for my 3 little ones on a tue at 5.30 which is just brilliant. when my son was little i took him to craige and it was totally fine and i was going to take them back there again ( we have been overseas for a few yrs) until i spoke to another mum whom was taking her 2 children to state swim in osbourne park and they were doing really well. we have decided to choose stateswim ( whitfords so fingers crossed with the parking!!) for the reasons in that they only have 4 per class and they move them up when appropriate as opposed to waiting for a 9 week course to end. also with having 3 children in stateswim it is a little cheaper too which is a bonus:O)
again thank you both for your replies! have a good weekend )
Posted 10 November 2012 - 08:59 AM
Interesting to read your comments, because our experience of Stateswim (East Fremantle) was that we went for months on end not progressing and DS1 at 18 months was put into a class that was age-based and was well behind what he'd been doing in his previous swimming school interstate where they were getting him ready to do classes without me. I prefer the term-based programs because we get a regular progress report.

Confused predictability
I am confused.
What I am confused about, is the segment with the Miz T.V. Team Hell No, Paul Wight, Dolph Ziggler and Mike Mizanin are all in the ring. Out comes Booker T. Then Mizanin claims Booker T is predictable and that he is probally there to mention a tag team match between Team Hell No and The Big Show and Dolph Ziggler. Booker T responds that is not why he is there. Then he "makes" that very same match he just has refused as the reason for being there.
My question is: How lame is Booker T and how much does he suck? I think he is the lamest and the one who sucks the most.
Re: Confused predictability
Secondly, He did make slightly different matches from the ones Miz suggested and although he is nowhere near as good as he was on commentary, Booker is doing a decent job as GM. I certainly prefer him to AJ on RAW.
Re: Confused predictability
Re: Confused predictability
Paul Wight :lol
Re: Confused predictability
What is so funny about Paul Wight?
I am not trying to make another Booker T sucks thread. I am just trying to understand Booker T by asking you guys.
Mike DID mention all those posibilities that almost could have been made. He did mention a tag team match with Hell No against Ziggler and Big Show. Mike did also mention the posibility a handicap tag team match could take place with Hell No against Ziggler, Big Show and himself. So where is the difference between what Mike mentioned and what Booker Tio mentioned?
Re: Confused predictability

You're right OP, Booker Huffman is getting stale!
I hope Glenn Jacobs takes him out!

At the top of our list of recipes we like to make when the weather gets really hot is gazpacho. The cold soup, from the Andalusia region of southern Spain, is a wonderful midsummer treat.
Huckleberry Pie
Huckleberries are smaller and sweeter than commercially-raised blueberries, but blueberries can easily substitute in this pie.
Uno's Cheese and Tomato Deep Dish Pizza
Pizza dough, tomato sauce and mozzarella are layered in a springform pan for deep-dish dinner.

Real Reviews
Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " Really excellent hostel! Great lounge area, spacious rooms, HUGE lockers-- and very close to all El trains! This was my sister's first time in a hostel, and I think she's spoiled now! I loved that there was a specific, self-serve room for storing luggage before check-in/after check-out... nobody squirreling your things away to a backroom that you can't access without permission. I do wish there were a few more toilets/showers per floor, but overall a great experience! "

- " This was the first time I was staying in a hostel, that too in a completely unknown city. Hi Chicago is a really good hostel to stay. It is in the core of the downtown. Walkable distance to Millennium Park, Willis Tower & Art Institute of Chicago. Subway stations at a walkable distance as well. Breakfast was pretty decent. The cleaning staff was a little slow, but overall the service was highly satisfying. "

- " This hostel is very accessible. It is located at a great spot at downtown Chicago and you can easily walk to the main sightseeing places and the metro runs around the corner too! Staff was being nice and helpful every time I needed something. Free breakfast and activities such as walking tours and get together dinners were a big plus! "

Review: Pen & Ink Watercolor Book
Pen & Ink Watercolor Journal on top of a large Moleskine. The Pen and Ink brand products are designed and manufactured to be sold by independent art retailers.
The large Pen & Ink books are wider and a wee bit shorter than a large Moleskine.
The large Pen & Ink Watercolor Book features 80 pages, (40 leaves) of 122 lb. (about 260gm) cold-pressed, acid-free, perforated pages.
The large Moleskine Watercolor book: 60 pages (30 leaves), 200 gm, (about 110lb) cold-pressed, cotton-fiber, acid-free watercolor paper
Look here at the Art Alternatives website to find a local retailer for Pen & Ink products.
PEN AND INK Watercolor LDSCP 3.5X5.5 $9.99
PEN AND INK Watercolor LDSCP 5.5X8 $15.99
Rounded corners on the cover and paper. Vertical elastic band to keep the book closed.
The cover on the large landscape version is more flexible than I prefer. The cover material is the same as is used on their Pen & Ink Sketchbooks. This does feel good in the hands.
Large pocket inside the back cover.
I noticed that a few of the pages in my book were stuck together at the point of perforation. I brought this to the companies attention and they have addressed the issue. It's not a great big deal unless you want to use the left side of the previous page, which in a watercolor book, I usually wouldn't. (I don't want two paintings on the same page)
As an avid fountain pen user for both writing and drawing, I tested a series here and found while there was no bleed through, most of the inks feathered & spread on the page. Noodler's Bulletproof didn't, which is a good thing, because it's a waterproof ink and you can do watercolor washes with it.
The paper is similar in weight and texture to the Moleskine watercolor and I'm not really crazy about either. I use various artist grade watercolors such as Holbein and Daniel Smith, and I just don't like the way they go down on this paper. The paper seems to absorb water in an odd way- a little too quickly, which makes mixing on the paper difficult. Blending ends up ill-defined.
Once the paint is dry, it seems to be quite difficult to re-activate the paint. Swirl over a painted section a few times and the paper gets a little crumbly.
I'd say that it's probably really good for light washes, pen and ink washes, and the like.
For my needs, (and preferences) it's just ok. There might be artists out there that love this kind of paper, but it's just not for me. It's not an overly expensive product, so you might want to give it a try and see if it suits your needs.

I should have just trusted your review. But I bought a "Pen & Ink" watercolor book. I now agree with you. The paper is just enough lighter than that of Moleskine to be unsatisfactory. However, I do like the Moleskine. I was just hoping for a sketchbook that would let me easily remove pages.

text: With Ek Tha Tiger becoming the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, Salman Khan was unarguably the top hero this year. The actor got rave reviews for his performance as a RAW agent in the film. With the much-hyped Dabangg 2 set for release around Christmas, Salman, who will reprise the role of the popular character Chulbul Pandey in the movie, is likely to end the year with a bang as well.

Hi Everyone,
I am a happily married mom of 2 girls dd5 and dd2 next Sunday. I work full time at night as a nurse and have been planning this WDW vacation since March. I was going to go in Sept but with all the rain our summer brought us the thought of being on vacation with more rain changed my mind.
We leave Nov 14th and am soooo excited! Just checking all avenues for informed information and thought I would check out this board too!

Deep Change: Healing Your Relationship with Power Can Transform Your OrganizationMay 7, 2009 • Contributed by Judith Barr, MS, LPC
The discussion of corporate power, its misuses and abuses, abound in our world today. To name a few: companies allowing tainted products to go to market; corporations laying off loyal employees while the "higher ups" enjoy exorbitant salaries, bonuses, and big profits; corporations receiving huge bailouts and continuing to spend and spend on "perks" … including continuing to lobby congress for further bailouts. And still more: mortgage lending abuses leading to widespread foreclosures; corporate contributions to political campaigns as a way to buy favors; corporate control within mass media; use of our planet's limited resources for corporate gain; inhuman conditions in foreign sweatshops. Are corporations truly concerned with public interest or simply determined to keep their power? And who benefits from this power hoarding?
The following story takes this issue to an even deeper place; the place where change must occur in order for our world to recover. This place is within each of us. How do we use our personal power? Personal power misuse and abuse can undermine the potential of any corporation. And right use of power has the ability to transform it.
Imagine if … corporations, their employees and leaders fearlessly worked to improve our world. Imagine if … corporate resources were only used to improve a balanced bottom line while respecting the planet, employees, and future generations. Imagine if … the leaders of every organization worked with their feelings so they didn't have to act them out on the corporate and world stage. Imagine if … every one of us did our own healing work so that we could contribute to this vision in the best way possible.
As organizational leaders and change agents are you prepared to personally take on the challenge of deep change? Are you willing to look at how the transformation of your inner world can in turn transform your outer world? Are you willing to heal your relationship with power for the betterment of yourself, an improved impact on your co-workers and employees, and the transformation of your organization?
The Story of John
John storms into his office fuming, slams the door behind him, and paces around the room. Through his glass enclosed CEO office, he takes in all that he has built in the past ten years. And, quite frankly, he doesn't give a damn who sees him in his self-justified rage.
Sharon, his executive assistant, did not give him what he wanted. She didn't have the report ready as much ahead of time as John wanted; she didn't have it put together in a sophisticated enough package; the font and type size she chose turned him off; and she had absolutely no graphics in the report at all. But worst of all … she didn't know what he wanted without his having to ask her!
As he paces and mutters to himself, the fuming calms and then rises again to a fevered pitch. "How could she not have known? She's had six months to learn about me. To discover what I need and want!"
This is the fifth assistant in 2½ years that he let go after six months on the job. Is he ever going to find the right assistant?
John, president of a very successful financial company, has built his business from nothing. All by himself! And at the expense of everyone who works for him. Not an employee in the company escapes his displeasure. Whether it comes in the form of subtle chipping away at self-confidence, threats of dismissal if something is not done John's way, public humiliation in meetings and in the everyday office environment, or fiery rages … each employee knows someday, any day, he or she might be the recipient. Everyone walks on eggshells at the office, and particularly around John.
And why does John allow himself to behave this way? Isn't he aware of what he's doing? Doesn't he care that he is alienating and frightening everyone in his company? Perhaps everyone with whom he does business? Doesn't he feel any remorse? What can he be thinking?
One of John's best customers, Arnie, has witnessed this power dynamic in John's company a couple of times while visiting. Employees walk on eggshells. John explodes. Employees cower. And John leans over to Arnie, as though he's about to confide in his customer. "Our foundational policy, Arnie, is to give the customer what he wants. For my employees, you're the customer. And so am I. We get what we want! That's it!"
Arnie is repelled by this, but doesn't let on in the moment. Finally, one day, it is Arnie who leans over to John to confide in his business colleague, "You might not want to hear this, John, but I have to tell you. I don't feel good about how you treat your employees. I think you have a problem."
"What!" bristles John. "What are you telling me?"
"You treat them like slaves who should be at your beck and call," continues Arnie. "I think you need to get some help. I know a woman who helps people with just this kind of situation. She helps them get to the root of why and how they use or misuse their power the way they do. She aims to help them use their power well, magnificently … which is exquisite leadership. Actually, John, I had a situation in my company with one of my employees that I had to address. She helped me a lot, both with my employee and with myself. That's why I'm now able to talk to you about this."
"What are you saying, Arnie? That I abuse my power? That I'm an abuser?" John asks with his words, while protesting with his tone of voice. His mind is racing. Now he is scared. He doesn't dare tell Arnie that he has lost 3 customers in the past six months because of the same thing. He feels threatened. To save his business with Arnie, maybe to save his business period, he is going to have to go see this woman and prove to Arnie he's trying.
"How does it feel to you to think that, John?"
"Horrible," blurts John, partly to ease the threat and partly because it's true. Something inside John is just beginning to shift. "But if it's true, I want to do something about it. I've thought I was just being a strong boss. I don't want to be abusive – to anyone."
Arnie takes out his own business card, turns it over, writes on it, and hands John the card. "Here, John. Call this woman, Judith."
John calls me, saying Arnie has referred him. When he comes for the initial consultation, he is blustery at first. Telling me about his conversation with Arnie, the business he has recently lost, and his desire to build not destroy his company, within a couple of minutes he begins to soften. As he watches and feels my response to him, he continues to open up with me. He tells me about his outburst with Sharon. In his description are just the clues I need:
"How could she not know?
She's had six months to learn about me.
To discover what I need and want!"
"Does that feel and sound familiar to you, John?" I gently explore.
"No. Why do you ask?" he inquires, taken aback.
"To me, John, it feels like your response to Sharon is not about the current time. It is far too intense and deep to be about today. It sounds like what Sharon did or did not do is pushing a button in you, sparking something from your childhood. Perhaps before you ever had words to speak or could even think in words. My sense, John … we have the clues both to find the root of your reaction and to help you not just control it, but even heal it. If you want to do that."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. You're way over my head," John prickles in confusion and frustration.
"Let me ask you this, John. Do you decide you're going to yell at Sharon before you begin?"
"Of course not. Do you think I would be such a fool?" John bridles defensively.
"I'm not trying to criticize or demean you in any way, John. I'm attempting to gather one more piece of information before I show you the clues I've gathered. I just need to know if you decide you're going to yell at Sharon or if the explosion just seems to come on its own."
"It erupts like a volcano. It has a life of its own." He begins to settle down. I'm quite sure I have seen the beginnings of the reaction John experiences on a daily basis.
"Thank you, John." I start pulling the threads together. "When we have unfinished, unresolved, or unhealed issues from our childhood, they erupt in relation to everything in our lives, particularly the people in our lives. When that happens, it is the sign post to the work we need to undertake. The key: The here and now events are the gateway to past occurrences that are still alive and unresolved within us."
"I've never heard of such a thing," John comments, a bit more open, curiosity aroused.
"It's true for all of us, John," I continue teaching, building a foundation of understanding for showing him his personal issues. "You, me, Arnie. Everyone in your company, everyone in your family. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, clergy, politicians, government officials, world leaders. All of us. The task is to find the clues, trace them to their source, understand the patterns and defense we've developed to avoid the early pain, and do the deep work to heal ourselves to the root. If we don't do the work inside ourselves related to our own past, then we create in the outer world something that is painful for us and those around us. I think this is what's happening at your office."
"So at least I'm not alone," relief breathes through John's pores.
"No, you aren't, John," I assure him. "And here are the first few clues: You have not gotten past the first six months with any assistant in the past 2½ years. Six months seems to be an important threshold for you. When you are triggered, or as I call it 'evoked,' your response is reflexive and somewhere on the continuum from displeasure to volcanic rage. The words that go with your feelings are: 'How could she not know? She's had six months to learn about me. To discover what I need and want!' Right here, John we have enough information to guide us."
"I understand, but I don't know where you're going with it," John sounds annoyed again.
"Here's where I'm going, John. My hunch: the explosive, abusive reaction of the almost 6-foot-tall, 220-pound man that you are … is really the emotional response of 6-month-old baby John, whose mother still didn't attune to him after six months of knowing him. Who still didn't know what he needed and wanted after all that time."
John chokes a bit, perhaps on the tears that he can't yet allow to flow. Color rises slowly in his face. When he is finally able to speak, he whispers, "That rings true." After a few minutes in silence, John continues softly, hesitantly, "What next?"
"We will need to end this consultation in about 10 minutes, John. What would you like to do next?" I ask, putting the power of choice back in his hands.
"I feel scared and hopeful," he responds honestly. "I don't think what I've learned in an hour today is going to solve the problem. But I would like to work with you in the hopes that we can end my explosions. Do you think that's possible?"
"Yes, I do, John, especially if you want to," I respond in celebration. "And I'd be glad to work with you to that end. You've made a powerful start. In the long run, this will be healing for you, for your company, for your employees, and for your customers. And it will be a profound imprint for healing the misuse of power in our world."
We schedule a weekly appointment. I give John a consciousness-building homework assignment – to write everything he's aware of when he has been triggered. And we say 'goodbye' until next week. After John leaves, I give great thanks for one more step toward healing the misuse and abuse of power in our world, and helping people to use their power well!
Note 1: This story is a fictionalized composite of real life experiences.
Note 2: It is not only employers who misuse and abuse their power. Employees do, too. I'm using this example to make a point: if the employer doesn't heal his or her misuse and abuse of power, the entire organization suffers, with a rippling effect out into the world.

I know people like John, people who always want you to change to modify for them and then they never compromise at all. These people are infuriating to work with and for as they offer you no flexibility at all.
BethMay 11th, 2009 at 2:18 AM
It's amazing to see how today's emotions evolve from the past. Good example here of John and how his explosive behavior actually resulted from experiences from when he was younger.
KellyMay 11th, 2009 at 4:30 AM
Who are these people who think they can make everyone around them cower into submission? These people have serious problems and it is often after they have belittled and angered others that they finally recognize that they are behaving badly but many of them do not even care about that. All they care about is getting off on how that angry feeling and feeling of power over others makes them feel. I have very little sympathy for people who act like this.
Judith BarrMay 11th, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Yes, people who abuse their power are wounded.
That doesn't justify their abuse at all.
It just means they have wounds they need to heal.
On the other side, the people who are abused
are also wounded . . . and have their own wounds to heal.
This does not mean they should allow themselves to be abused.
It just means they have wounds they need to heal, also.
Please look for my next article, coming soon.
The Story of Sharon, John's assistant.
That will help make it clear that we all have wounds
we need to heal . . . all of us.
Perhaps that will help us have compassion both for ourselves
and others. . .
Thanks for your interest and courage to share.
Judith Barr
ShirleyMay 12th, 2009 at 2:00 AM
This is a good thing to remember, Judith. We all need healing whether it be us or the others' who are affected by their past and taking it out on others.

She grew up learning how to fish and currently she makes a living out of this work. She says that she goes to fish every day. Then, they go out to sell the mojarra they caught during the day to close communities. She has more than 20 years in this business, and many people know her and go to her house to buy.
She will invest the loan in the purchase of fishing nets, awnings, and in the maintenance of her boat. For the future, Margarita wishes her business to continue growing and to obtain more customers, so her profits will increase and she will be able to keep paying the studies of her son. She said "thanks to the foundation for coming to the community to give loans to me and my people. With its plans of payment they are helping a lot, God gives them more to keep helping".

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Writing for The Atlantic, Rob Atkinson argues the economic recovery theories of many economists and policymakers miss the essential point: the loss of U.S. innovation, competitiveness leadership and the origins of the devastating decline in the U.S. manufacturing sector in the last decade. Between 2000 and the peak of employment in January 2008, the number of jobs grew just 5.4 percent, while manufacturing jobs declined by a whopping 32 percent.
Despite these alarming trends, too many policy elites have urged us not to fret, arguing the United States is still strong in "innovation." But manufacturing and innovation are linked. Much of manufacturing (think semiconductors, drugs, medical devices, aerospace, and instruments) is high tech. Moreover, losing high-tech industry (the U.S. has run a trade deficit in high technology since 2000) leads to the loss of the upstream R&D and design jobs as well.

Black Middle Class Values Money, Not Social Responsibility
BYLINE: Ebrahim Harvey
There have been progressive middle classes in history, but how does our own new black middle class rate after 1994?
Most of this class have become physically and socially disconnected from the working class they had their roots in. The reason is that class has become the most mesmerising and destructive force within black communities since 1994, exerting powerful centrifugal tendencies that have had divisive and polarising social consequences.
Whereas under apartheid oppressive conditions bred unity and solidarity in black communities, today growing social differentiation has led to individualism, middle-class aspirations and discrimination against poorer black people.
Ours is a middle class that cares little about what happens to the poor communities its members left behind in the townships and the ongoing struggles they face.
Neglected and denied by racial capitalism for so long, today their pursuit of money, wealth and comfort bears an inverse relationship to the depth of poverty, oppression and squalor most of them suffered under apartheid.
In other words, after the long apartheid nightmare they just had to catch up with the white middle classes as quickly as possible, and at all costs. After all, the ANC had come to terms with our capitalist masters, and former stalwarts of the liberation struggle were now multi-millionaires.
A middle class which still has strong community and civil society links and does not look down on the working class - despite its own class interests - is a progressive one. The mere occupation of positions in the private sector does not make a progressive middle class. This requires conscious political and social involvement in a multiplicity of civil society projects aimed at social transformation. Such a middle class has an important role to play.
What are the signs of the emerging black middle class? Shopping mania, luxury vehicles, big houses, a keen material acquisitiveness, flash living styles, top private schools for the children, a dash of acquired English accent to boot.
However, there can be no moral revulsion against these developments. No, these are progressive de-velopments, seen against the background of where we come from and inevitable against the background of the negotiated settlement. …

Top stories of 2005 | Al-Qaeda affiliates attack
"Think Globally, Act Locally" looks like the motto adopted by jihadists in 2005. Major terrorist attacks-in London, Amman, Bali, and Sharm el-Sheikh-reveal a remarkable geographic spread and show a growing global following of al-Qaeda's ideology, according to terrorism expert Walid Phares.
In jihadist chatrooms and websites, radicals are taking their cues from al-Qaeda and its deputy chief Ayman al-Zawahiri. "It's like the 'Prime Minister Zawahiri's' note comes first, and then the local leader has his note," said Mr. Phares, author of the just-released Future Jihad.
Subway bomb blasts in London on July 7, for example, show coordination between a British jihadist organization and al-Qaeda. In Indonesia, terrorists struck restaurants on the tourist island of Bali three years after they first bombed its nightclubs. Al-Qaeda has the capability to attack anywhere in Indonesia, Mr. Phares notes, but Western-oriented Bali has a particular symbolic value.
With fearless attacks, world leaders are less apprehensive to name the ideology behind jihadist terrorism. President Bush began calling terrorism "Islamic radicalism," while British Prime Minister Tony Blair described "a religious ideology, a strain within the world-wide religion of Islam." After hotel bombings killed 59 in Amman, Jordan, on Nov. 9, King Abdullah said Takfiris, who advocate attacking all perceived infidels, including apostate Muslims, "have no place among us."
Authorities won important convictions of would-be terrorists. In Madrid, Syrian-born Imad Eddin Barakhat Yarkas became only the second person in the world convicted of a 9/11-related crime, sentenced in September to 27 years in prison. He was one of 18 men convicted of membership in or collaboration with al-Qaeda.
In Virginia, the Saudi-trained Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was caught in plots to assassinate President George W. Bush using snipers or a suicide bomb and of planning to launch a 9/11-style airplane attack. In New York, two Yemeni citizens earned prison terms for financially supporting terrorist groups. One of the men, Mohammed Ali Hasan al-Moayad, bragged he had channeled $20 million to Osama bin Laden and millions to Hamas.
The stirrings of democracy are also challenging the jihadists, Mr. Phares said, as successful elections took place in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Lebanon's Cedar Revolution ended Syria's occupation. Terrorists, in turn, are focusing on soft targets. Witness simultaneous bombings on London's subway system and in Amman's hotel ballroom. "In the case of the jihadists, the more you kill civilians, the more, in their minds, discontent [grows] with public powers."

Moonlight 2.0 Preview
The Moonlight Project has been working on an open source implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight technology. Now they have released the first preview of Moonlight 2.0, incorporating some Silverlight 3.0 features.
The preview release of Moonlight 2.0, (officially version 1.9.0), was announced by Miguel de Icaza on his blog. The plugin will enable the viewing via Mono VM of content created with Silverlight 2.0 on both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the Firefox browser.
Moonlight 2.0 is not yet feature complete and some security features are completely absent so anyone who wants to try it should do so in a safe environment. Problems will also be found when trying to install XPI files. The "Preview Release Codec Notice" box on the website has more details.
More info about the latest modifications is available in the changelog. Some of the functions found in Silverlight 3.0 are already included: SaveDialog support (to save Silver content) and a few simple functions to create animations. Version 2.0 runs in the CoreCLR Sandbox, comes with a deep zoom and supports Microsoft's open-sourced control elements. Adaptive streaming is also supported.
Moonlight developers are testing their plugin on a long list of websites that use Silverlight and appointing ratings for individual website support. Intended to become a Microsoft alternative to Adobe's Flash, pages that use the technology are few and far between. The Moonlight 2.0 download is available here.

Jorge Enrique
Update on Jorge EnriqueJorge was able to obtain a loan which allowed him to increase his sales and now he has more customers who visit him to update their sheets and bedspreads, despite the hot sun or the torrential rains. Jorge has acquired much experience during these two years and one day he would like to study about sales tools. This young entrepreneur and dreamer is an expert merchant who is certain that sales will increase during the end of year season, so he is asking for a second loan to buy merchandise with which he will be able to cover his customers' demand.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

SEATTLE — A soldier out with his friends was fatally stabbed on a Lakewood street early Saturday, and investigators were examining whether the attack was a racially motivated hate crime.
The 20-year-old was walking with two of his friends from Joint Base Lewis-McChord when a car drove by and someone inside shouted a racial comment toward the white soldiers, the Lakewood Police Department said. The soldiers shouted something back, and the car stopped, and five black men got out and surrounded the soldiers, authorities said.
Police said the men from the car began to leave when one realized the soldiers were combat veterans, but one of the five appeared to bump into the victim as he walked past. As the car left, the soldier fell to the ground, and his friends discovered he had been stabbed.
The soldier died at the scene. Authorities declined to release his name until his family could be notified.
Nature of crime
The initial remark that started the encounter was a brief comment about "white guys" that seemed derogatory in nature, said Lakewood police Lt. Chris Lawler. He said it was too early to say that race was the motivating factor, but investigators were exploring whether the killing should be classified as a hate crime.
"We are certainly considering it, for sure," Lawler said.
Detectives were in the area Saturday looking for businesses or individuals who might have video from around the time of the stabbing. Lawler said the person who stabbed the soldier should come forward and show remorse now.
"He's going to get caught," Lawler said. "Nobody's going to give up until we catch up."
Authorities said the suspects are in their 20s and were in a dark blue sedan with tinted windows and low-profile tires.

SEATTLE — Voters in left-leaning Seattle, where police recently handed out snacks at a large marijuana festival and politicians often try to out-liberal each other, are close to electing a Socialist candidate to the city council.
Following the latest ballot count Tuesday night, Kshama Sawant had a 402-vote lead over 16-year incumbent Richard Conlin.
Given Washington state's mail-in voting system, a winner won't be named for days or even weeks after the Nov. 5 election.
Still, the strong showing by Sawant, a college economics professor and prominent figure in Seattle's Occupy Wall Street movement, has surprised many people.
Scott Cline, the city's archivist, said research showed no Socialist candidate had won a citywide office in the past 100 years.
"This is new territory. There really isn't any precedent," said Stuart Elway, a longtime political pollster. "You think Seattle has a pretty liberal electorate, but you haven't seen someone who calls themselves a socialist win."
Message resonates
Sawant, 41, drew attention as part of local Occupy Wall Street protests that included taking over a downtown park and a junior college campus in late 2011. She then ran for legislative office in 2012, challenging the powerful speaker of the state House, a Democrat. She was easily defeated.
This year, she ran against Conlin, pushing a platform that appeared to resonate with the city. She backed efforts to raise the minimum wage to $15; called for rent control in the city where rental prices keep climbing; and supports a tax on millionaires to help fund a public transit system and other services.
"I think we have shown the strongest skeptics that the Socialist label is not a bad one for a grass-roots campaign to succeed," said Sawant, who is on leave from her job as an professor at Seattle Central Community College.
During her campaign, she condemned economic inequality, contending that some people aren't benefiting from the city's declining jobless rate, ongoing recovery from the recession, and downtown building boom.
"This is one of wealthiest cities in the wealthiest country in the world," she said. "For people to struggle for basic needs is absurd."
City council races are technically nonpartisan in Seattle. Sawant, however, made sure people knew she was running as a Socialist.

Truck running fine all day. Shut off eng for about 30 minutes and cranked back up. Immediately felt misfire/hesitation condition. Got blinking check engine light. Had auto parts store run codes (P0300, P0301 & P0304.) Checked plugs and wires, ok. I have 2 ignition coils; 1 for cylinders 1 & 4 and 1 for cylinders 2 & 3. I'm confused about the the following during troubleshooting. Removing one spark plug wire from the ign coils at a time and cranking engine: When I remove #1 plug wire from aft wire "port" on forward ign coil and crank up engine I get a very intermittant (but strong) spark jumping to nearest ground location. When I do the same thing by removing the #3 plug wire from aft wire "port" on back ign coil, the engine hardly ever stays running and I get the same intermittant spark jumping to nearest ground. Both cylinder 4 and 2 ports on ign coils have a continuous and strong spark jumping to ground when removed one at a time and cranking engine. Someone mentioned a possible bad crankshaft postion sensor. Only other info to add is that I had a check engine light (steady) back in September that eventually went off after a couple weeks. Ran codes at local autoparts store; P0441 HELP Please

Thanks for your input. I've replaced the ign coil for 1 & 4, still have the same "intermittant spark" issue and misfire / hesitation issue.

look at wiring could be rodents eating wires
COMMENT by ScottTacoma , December 05, 2012
No chewed wires. Pretty sure it's a bad (stuck open) injector on #4 cyl. Removed plugs I installed shorty after misfire condition and found all where burning good except #4. It was blackish brown (only installed for appx 5 miles of operation)Checked for "clicking" noise on #4 injector with eng running. Checked ok. Checked #4 injector elec. connector with "node" light. Light pulsed as enging was running. Checked spark on #4 plug. Spark was strong and correct. Reset check engine light and then drove truck for a couple miles. Check eng light came back on (flashing.) Ran codes. Only one code came up, P0304. It was for a misfire condition on #4 cyl. Replacing all 4 injectors (truck has 285K miles on it.)I'll post update afterwards.
