Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady
The supermodel married her NFL footballer in April 2009, just three months after announcing their engagement. She has been the world's highest paid model since 2004 and continues to increase her earnings with branded collections from flip-flops to lingerie. He focuses on his day job - as star quarterback with the New England Patriots - rather than fashion, but his longer hair raised eyebrows at the 2011 Met Ball before Gisele gave it the seal of approval: "I love it no matter what," she said. "Short, bald, red, long, whatever." They have two children together - Benjamin and Vivienne.

Edit Article
How to Know if Your Friend Is Really a Friend
Are you not sure if your friend really is a friend? Are you not sure if he/she cares about you, if you can trust him/her, etc? With these steps, you will find out.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Test your friend. Tell him/her a fake secret you have, and see if he/she makes rumors about it or not. Make sure your fake secret is scandalous enough, and it does not involve anyone but you.
2Make sure your friend doesn't ditch you often. If he/she ditches you almost all the time, and it doesn't seem like a joke, that means he/she isn't really a good friend.
3Make sure your friend does not force you, or make you follow. This means they don't care about you, and only want you as a henchman/Hench woman.
4Another way to test your friend is to invite him or her to a party.
5Have a classmate talk about you in a mean way to your friend, and have the classmate record or tell you whatever he or she said. If not, spy on your friend while the classmate does his or her job.
6If you think your friend is lying, always try to get proof of what he/she said.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If he/she finds out you've been plotting, they might accuse you of being untrustworthy and say that they "always liked you until now". If you don't trust them then don't be friends with them.
- If you ask other friends that they talk to that friend might go to the other and tell them you were snooping!
- Reading your friend's diary can be a complication. It can be a difficult task. Do this at your own risk!
Things You'll Need
- A partner to go undercover with
- Notepad
- Pen
- Bag
- Internet
- Suspects
- Questions to ask

A Face-Lift for the St. Paul City Council?
The St. Paul City Council often seems irrelevant. The city's strong-mayor system of governance--coupled with a leader, in Randy Kelly, who is not shy about wielding power--frequently renders the council superfluous. At times, city council members have been reduced during public meetings to existential musings about the significance of their standing in the municipal universe.
The primary elections on September 9 could set the stage for a council better equipped to do battle with the mayor. With two generally Kelly-friendly city council members dropping out, this fall's races could change the council's dynamics considerably--from a body that grudgingly accedes to the mayor's wishes to one that actively challenges his authority. "The reality is that this year's elections are pretty important," says Ben Goldfarb, executive director of Progressive Minnesota. "There is an opportunity to change the balance of power on the council."
Most of the attention is focused on the two races where incumbents have chosen not to seek reelection. In the First Ward, which runs through central St. Paul, Jerry Blakey is stepping down after 10 years in the post. Chris Coleman has declined to seek a third term in the Second Ward, a district that includes the city's west side, downtown, and the West Seventh Street neighborhood. Both races have generated a small throng of candidates; in each ward, only two candidates will move on from the primary.
In Ward Two, there are four different women running whose last names end in "son." Naturally they worry that voters will have a difficult time simply remembering which candidate they intended to support. The lack of distinctive monikers among the field has led to some fairly resourceful (some might say desperate) marketing techniques. Elizabeth Dickinson, the Green Party candidate in Ward Two, is constantly reminding voters that her last name is the same as the late poet's, while Donna Swanson has taken to linking her candidacy with frozen foods. "I'm Swanson," the DFLer tells voters. "Just like the frozen dinner."
Ward One is the most diverse, politically combative district in the city. Among the nine candidates seeking to fill Blakey's post, six are members of minority groups. The ward has traditionally been a base of political power for the black community, but the significant spike in Asian residents over the last decade has altered that fact. "The demographics of Ward One have really changed drastically," acknowledges the Rev. Devin Miller, a local political activist. "But the African-American community still has a stronghold in Ward One. It's just a matter of getting them out to vote."
Mayor Randy Kelly has attempted to sway the outcome of the two races by throwing his support behind two candidates, Debbie Montgomery in Ward One and Christine Nelson in Ward Two. (Both candidates are also supported by the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, a key Kelly backer in the last mayoral election.) "St. Paul is at a crossroads," Kelly argues, alluding to recent cutbacks in state aid. "I feel that we must look to the future and a new reality, and elect office holders that realize the world has changed for local units of government in Minnesota."
But some candidates question how much bounce Kelly's blessing will have. "The mayor's not the most popular guy in Ward One," argues Vic Rosenthal, executive director of Jewish Community Action and a Ward One candidate. "A lot of people feel that the mayor doesn't pay a lot of attention to Ward One."
Whoever makes it through the primary--and the general election--will confront a grim reality upon taking office. St. Paul faces significant budget shortfalls for the foreseeable future, with the latest budget forecast projecting a $19 million deficit in 2005. After a decade of holding property taxes level, the city's coffers are empty.
Dave Thune is undoubtedly the front-runner in Ward Two. The former city council president, who served on the body from 1992 to 1998, garnered the early support of many labor unions and in April secured the DFL endorsement--a blessing akin to beatification in Ward Two.
The strong support among DFLers for a second Thune tenure is somewhat bewildering. An examination of the 53-year-old motorcycle enthusiast's record over just the last five years reveals instances of political opportunism, questionable ethics, and dubious fiscal management.
While Thune was still on the city council in 1997, he landed a $2,000-a-month job as a consultant with M.A. Mortenson Company. This just happened to be the same company that was awarded a lucrative contract to build St. Paul's new publicly financed hockey arena. Although Thune did not play a direct role in awarding Mortenson the contract, he did cast a vote in favor of allowing the Minnesota Wild to privately bid out the construction work. And in practice, that was the same as voting for Mortenson--the company had put up the Wild's initial $100,000 National Hockey League application fee.
The state auditor launched a probe of Thune's fiscal ties to Mortenson and ultimately cleared him of any wrongdoing. Spurred in part by this incident, however, the council amended its conflict-of-interest rules to eliminate such cozy relationships in the future.
Thune then surprised DFLers during the 1998 gubernatorial race by endorsing his former nemesis, Norm Coleman. Despite the then-St. Paul mayor's electoral defeat, Thune's political patronage was rewarded: He landed a job in Coleman's municipal administration as the housing information officer.
Shortly after Thune announced his candidacy for the Ward Two seat this year, the Pioneer Press reported that he was 11 months delinquent on a $25,000 city-backed loan that had been secured to renovate a building on West Seventh Street. Thune has subsequently paid off the balance and blames his political opponents for leaking the story even though they knew he was about to settle the debt. "It's petty politics," he insists.
While most of the Ward Two candidates are unwilling to take on Thune's problematic record, Elizabeth Dickinson does claim that she's encountered a significant "ABT" sentiment on the campaign trail: Anyone But Thune.
In recent years Hmong residents have emerged as a potent force in St. Paul politics. Two years ago Mee Moua shook up the political establishment by bringing out scads of new voters and defeating a handful of veteran candidates for a state senate seat on the city's east side. Cy Thao followed up that victory by handily winning a state house race last year in a district that includes much of Ward One.
This year's city council race presents a new wrinkle in Hmong politics: two candidates from the community squaring off against one another. Bao Vang and Toumoua Lee are just two candidates in a freewheeling contest that features at least five legitimate contenders, but their presence has created some unusual discussions and disputes among Hmong citizens.
Early on in the race, there was considerable pressure for one of them to drop out so that Hmong voters could unite behind one candidate. Even now there remains confusion among residents; some persist in believing that they can vote for both candidates. There are dozens of homes in the Frogtown neighborhood, the heart of Ward One, where both candidates' placards sit side by side in the same yard.
Last week, tensions between the two campaigns came into the open when Lee fired off a letter accusing his opponent of falsely informing voters that he was no longer in the race. He also charged that Vang's supporters were misleading elderly voters about the date of the election and then driving them downtown to fill out absentee ballots.
Vang scoffs at the accusations. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with what we are doing and those allegations are absolutely not true," she says. "I think it's just a desperate last-minute attempt to try and get the Hmong people to get out there and support him." (The Ramsey County Attorney's Office is charged with investigating Lee's accusations.)
The presence of two Hmong candidates in the race has created other unusual dynamics. Vang is running on a largely progressive platform and has garnered the support of many advocacy and labor groups, including Minnesota ACORN and AFSCME Council 14. She views younger Hmong voters as a primary source of support.
By contrast, Lee, who is a real estate agent and developer, has courted the business sector and Christians. He's an active member of St. Paul Hmong Alliance Church in Maplewood, which has some 3,000 members. "He's really looking for votes in the Christian community," says Lee Pao Xiong, a longtime Hmong political activist. "He's got a solid base with that."
Lee has also sought support from the heads of the 18 Hmong clans, traditionally the leaders of the community. "He's doing it the old Hmong way of bringing all the older clan leaders together," says Vang. However, Xiong says, the political power of the clan leaders has been greatly diminished in recent years. "It doesn't work anymore," he argues. "Nobody's stupid enough to follow a leader blindly anymore."
Elizabeth Dickinson cuts a striking figure as she trolls Grand Avenue for votes. Dressed in a blue and white polka dot dress with bright red buttons and matching belt, she buttonholes passing pedestrians with a fervor (and an outsized smile) that might be mistaken for an evangelical Christian's come-on.
Dickinson is the first Green Party candidate ever to run for the St. Paul City Council. Her candidacy comes during a period of growing pains for the fledgling political movement. The Green Party has established itself as a player in local races--most notably by winning two city council seats in Minneapolis--but it has never ceased to flounder at the state level. In the 2002 election, despite receiving public matching funds and fielding a credible slate of candidates, no Green got more than four percent of the vote.
St. Paul has long been basically a one-party town. The closest it generally gets to political debate is between moderate and liberal Democrats. When Dave Thune stepped down from the Ward Two post in 1998, the only candidate to run for the position was DFLer Chris Coleman. Two years later Coleman trounced his lone challenger, a Republican, by a more than two-to-one margin.
"They aren't the DFL party of 20 years ago, but they're still the only major party in town," says Dave Schultz, a Hamline University law professor who has provided legal counsel to the Green Party. "We need to have a second party in St. Paul, and the Republicans are never going to achieve it."
If Dickinson fails to survive the primary, it will not be for lack of effort. The west sider, whose résumé includes stints as a teacher, therapist, yoga instructor, and actress, has been banging on voters' doors since April, hitting every house in the ward at least once. "At my peak I was doing 30 hours a week of door-knocking," she notes. Dickinson's tireless campaigning has shown some signs of paying dividends. She earned the endorsement of the St. Paul Federation of Teachers, normally a lock for the DFL standard-bearer, as well as the support of the Minnesota Chapter of the National Organization of Women.
Dickinson's pitch to potential voters this evening skews heavily toward environmental issues, particularly the benefits of a city-run power plant and the potential of wind as an untapped source of energy. She repeatedly informs residents that the 29 power plants in Minnesota offering consumers the lowest rates are all operated by local governments rather than corporations. She also claims that wind power could provide electricity for at least 90,000 St. Paul households at a cost comparable to existing energy sources. "That one thing would make us the greenest city in the country, because nobody else is doing it," she exclaims.
The response from potential voters is generally sympathetic, if noncommittal. She receives a genial reception from one apartment dweller who describes himself as a "pro-life, eco-radical." Another woman grills Dickinson for 20 minutes before enthusiastically declaring, "I think I like you."
As darkness descends on Grand Avenue, Dickinson comes across a twentysomething man lounging in a lawn chair in his front yard, smoking a cigarette and drinking a Corona. He turns out to be the only professed Green Party supporter she encounters this evening. "I think you can count on two votes from us," the man says of himself and his wife. The couple is about to move to a new residence in Ward Two; the man retreats inside to find the address so that they can be added to the Green Party mailing list. "Every time I find a Green voter," Dickinson beams, "I just want to yell, 'Score!'"

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
We are used to the Center for Applied Theatre and Active Culture/New World Performance Lab bringing cutting edge plays to the Balch Street Theatre.
This time things are different. Instead of providing the actors and director, CATAC is taking the role of host by presenting "Warriors Don't Cry," a one-woman intense drama making the rounds on a national tour.
"Warriors Don't Cry" is based on the memoir by Dr. Melba Pattillo Beals, one of the Little Rock Nine who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957-58. The play, co-written by Zita Christian and Scott Galbraith, was produced by The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, and has been performed in New York City and throughout New England. Now it has been on a nationwide tour that will conclude in 2013.
The narrative line of the drama is 15 year old Melba's take on the endurance she had to have to put up with shunning, the name calling, violence and potential violence, and discrimination as she and eight other African-American students maintained their dignity by continuing to go to school. Almeria Campbell will play the role of Melba as directed by Richard C. Aven.

Yet the play, according to representatives of The Bushnell, deals with larger issues relevant to today – bullying chief among them.
Word from CATAC is that the play is family-friendly – that is, good for children in grade four through adults.
The Bushnell will also conduct two public workshops, free of charge, as part of their residency in Akron. The workshops, entitled "Share Your Story," will be held on Wednesday, January 16 at 7 p.m. and Friday, January 18, at 3 p.m. in The Balch Street Theatre.
"Warriors Don't Cry" will be presented on Thursday-Friday, January 17-18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Balch Street Theatre, 220 S. Balch St., Akron; 330-867-3299; www.nwpl.com. Tickets are $10 ($5 for students).

Since the CMO study came out a few months ago, we have received many requests to tell IBM's marketing story. What are we doing differently today? How are we managing the data explosion? How are we using analytics to determine the best way to connect with empowered customers?

As a marketer, it can be difficult to find the right asset, the right tactic, the right campaign to tap a nerve with your prospects. Given the changing landscape of media, advertising, social and multi-channel, this exercise is becoming increasingly complex... so what's a marketer to do? What's the magic equation for driving leads in an era when the funnel frankly seems to be an outdated paradigm? In my marketing role at IBM, I've realized that technologies like marketing automation, web analytics, ad attribution and re-targeting are some of the key drivers that can help to close the equation. The transformation from manual to automated, from guessing to analyzing, is taking root.

The first major breakthrough was implementing a marketing automation platform. I have to admit I've done my share of spray and pray campaigns. With the acquisitions of Cognos and Unica, we've learned a ton about the value of scientific, automated campaigns that can target customers in a more sophisticated manner. There was a learning curve, but one well worth the effort. We now have prospects queued into much more sophisticated "conversations" based on their preferences and buying behaviors, which has produced up to six-fold response improvements for our nurture campaigns.

The second major breakthrough has been the use of targeted web analytics, which are, in my humble opinion, one of the most powerful tools a marketer can utilize. Knowing who your prospects are on the web and why and how they are using your website is priceless in tapping into that precious organic interest. The capability now exists to retain live profiles of our prospects and customers. This profile provides us with the insight to run campaigns based on how/why/what to target based on past behavior. We can now strategically determine the "next best offer" based on this past behavior. This type of scientific targeting is priceless when it comes to driving digital lead conversions.

Another favorite tool of mine is Media Attribution. You know you are guilty. Expensive media buy. Boss is happy. Media Ad is gorgeous. But who were the interested customers? How did it perform on relative target audiences? Ok guilty. In the past, I'd sometimes get very busy and forget to check back on my media buy. Big mistake, as Media optimization can double media spend efficiency. This goes hand in glove with ad re-targeting, which is a technology that can also goose conversion rates by following customers where they live on the web and essentially reminding them of what a great offer you have for them.

I've always been inclined to the creative, the creative versus the scientific... but these days, at IBM, I realize that marketing can be more science than art, more mathematical than ethereal. I'm learning to live with it and to use technology to raise my game, and the great part about it is that my conversion rates are starting to prove it!

My experience with analytics is that it simplifies my job.

In my role as CMO of IBM's Global Business Services business, complexity is increasing, both internally and externally. I have long believed analytics will forever change the role of the CMO, but I am now experiencing it, in fact leading it.

We all know the velocity, variety and volume of data is met only by the increasing empowerment and expectations of our constituencies. The question is: how do we meet the increasing complexity with increased effectiveness?

Analytics. We cannot run the treadmill faster. We have to be smarter. Smarter analytics is a transformational journey that teams CMO/CFO, CMO/CIO, CMO/Agencies, CMO/CEO, and CMO/Customers.

Moving beyond the traditional to the transformed CMO and, in fact, the transformed organization requires new skills, relationships and capabilities. There are key learnings along the way. Let me share a few. And I hope you will do the same. I have learned that:

Having the right question is more important than having all the data.

Relationships are even more important in an analytically transparent world/organization, as it is not the data or even the insight you have, but who does what with that data to deliver business impact.

Analytics helps me focus on the right things, instead of everything.

Governance and change management are as important as tools and capabilities.

The transformation of my role begins with my leadership, how I empower the organization and change the effectiveness of the ecosystem.

If there is one unifying discipline within the enterprise, it's arguably marketing. Across the organization, individuals from finance to operations are quick to offer their perspectives on everything from marketing tactics and tag lines to media mix and strategy. What many in the enterprise don't realize is that marketing in the 21st century has become a highly personalized, analytically driven, outcome oriented science, or at least it should be. Many CMOs are still coming to grips with the onslaught of available customer and client data and the new tools and technology that can afford strategic insight.

Big data holds the promise of understanding customer propensities, creating customer intimacy, and building long-term customer loyalty. But first, CMOs will have to wrestle with the fact that information is doubling every two years. It resides in countless blogs, billions of e-mails and tweets (200B and 147M sent daily, respectively), volumes of call center and customer service records, surveys and comment cards, and countless other sources. Fortunately, the advent and advances in technology afford CMOs a new arsenal capable of addressing the changing variety (i.e., unstructured information now makes up ~80% of all new information), velocity (i.e., real time processing), and volume of data (i.e., now measured in zetabytes).

Technology has also delivered a new analytical frontier. Capabilities now exist to tackle everything from customer sentiment in social media and predicting future outcomes, to faster insights with in-memory processing and greater understanding of web behavior. Each of these analytical areas is able to provide a different but highly synergistic understanding of what makes up the perfect customer experience. I am looking forward to reading the upcoming IBM Global Chief Marketing Officer Study to see what's on the minds of CMOs across industries, geographies, and organizational orientations.

From my vantage point as a former CMO, perhaps it's time for marketers to evolve from the art of the possible to the science of the probable. How are you putting analytics to work? What impact will big data and the wealth of available unstructured information have on marketing? Please share your thoughts in our CMO Study LinkedIn discussion group.

WASHINGTON – Japan will probably find itself caught between the United States and China over the next 17 years, with its foreign policy at the mercy of the policies of Washington and Beijing, a U.S. intelligence community think tank reported Thursday.
In an unclassified report, titled "Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World," the National Intelligence Council also said U.S. power will decline by 2025, with the world becoming unstable as the post-World War II international system vanishes.
On Japan, the 120-page report said the country will face a "major reorientation" of its domestic and foreign policies yet maintain its status as an "upper middle rank power."
It forecast Tokyo's foreign policies "will be influenced most by the policies of China and the United States," with a broad spectrum of options possible.
If China continues its current economic growth pattern, Japan will attach importance to maintaining healthy political ties and increase market access, possibly through forging a bilateral free-trade agreement, the NIC report said.
But if China's growth stumbles or its policies become openly hostile toward neighbors, Tokyo would likely "move to shape political and economic forums in the region to isolate or limit Chinese influence" with support from Washington, it said.
Should the U.S. security commitment to Japan weaken, it said, Japan "may decide to move closer to Beijing on regional issues and ultimately consider security arrangements that give China a de facto role in maintaining stability in ocean areas near Japan."
A substantially closer U.S.-China political and security partnership could lead to U.S. accommodation of a Chinese military presence in the region and a corresponding realignment or drawdown of U.S. forces there, the report said.
In such a scenario, it said, Japan would have no choice but to "follow the prevailing trend and move closer to Beijing to be included in regional security and political arrangements."
The report also dwelt on the challenges Japan will face from the aging of its population, saying, "The shrinking workforce — and Japan's cultural aversion to substantial immigrant labor — will put a major strain on Japan's social services and tax revenues."
It predicted "policy paralysis" will haunt Japan as a result of a "continual splitting and merging of competing political parties." It also said, "Japan's one-party political system probably will fully disintegrate by 2025."
The NIC reports directly to the director of the CIA. Its mostly classified reports aim to support U.S. policymakers — this time for those in the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama.
As for the U.S. and the world, the new report said U.S. political and economic influence will ebb and the world will grow more unstable due to energy, food and water scarcity, as well as conflicts, terrorism and global warming.
"The international system — as constructed following the Second World War — will be almost unrecognizable by 2025 owing to the rise of emerging powers, a globalizing economy, an historic transfer of relative wealth and economic power from West to East, and the growing influence of nonstate actors," it said.
"Although the United States is likely to remain the single most powerful actor, the United States' relative strength — even in the military realm — will decline and U.S. leverage will become more constrained," it said.
The report said China and India are expected to vie with the U.S. to lead a multipolar world. While noting Russia's potential is less certain, it said the political and economic power of Indonesia, Iran and Turkey is likely to increase.
"China and India must decide the extent to which they are willing and capable of playing increasing global roles and how each will relate to the other," it said.
"Russia has the potential to be richer, more powerful, and more self-assured in 2025 if it invests in human capital, expands and diversifies its economy, and integrates with global markets," the report said.
"On the other hand, Russia could experience a significant decline if it fails to take these steps and oil and gas prices remain in the $50.00-$70.00 per barrel range," it said.
Concerning the future of the Korean Peninsula, the NIC report said a "unified Korea" is likely by 2025, but it will not be a unitary state but more like a looser "North-South confederation." Despite continuing diplomatic efforts, whether North Korea will be stripped of its nuclear capabilities at the time of reunification remains "uncertain," it said.
"A loosely confederated Korea might complicate denuclearization efforts," it said. "Other strategic consequences are likely to flow from Korean unification."
As for Europe, the report said, "Europe by 2025 will have made slow progress toward achieving the vision of current leaders and elites: a cohesive, integrated, and influential global actor able to employ independently a full spectrum of political, economic, and military tools in support of European and Western interests and universal ideals."
Continued failure to convince skeptical publics of the benefits of deeper regional integration and to enact painful reforms to curb a falling population could leave Europe a "hobbled giant" distracted by internal bickering and "less able to translate its economic clout into global influence," it said.

Reviews of Doro Nawas
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.

Doro Nawas review
This accommodation was good & we made use of the beds to sleep out on the veranda, although the communal areas did lack some atmosphereRead more about the whole safari
Doro Nawas
Mostly good. We did a bush walk and elephant tracking and they were outstanding. Our guide, Michael, could not have been more helpful. Other staff were not quite as helpful although we loved the singing on the last night.
The legal waiver you are asked to sign on arrival is a bit much and I noticed that nobody else had signed it. I appreciate that there are risks to being in Africa but the hosts must take some responsibility as well as the guests.
The maintenance man did sort out a puncture for me very quickly and efficiently.
The swimming pool was rather green and not useable.
Doro Nawas review
Excellent luxury 'chalets' with curtained-off bathroom and shower and separate enclosed toilet, plus large raised stone 'verandah' allowing you to sleep outside if the urge took you!
Great almost 360 degree views from the restaurant, and great to swim in the pool looking straight out onto the plains, not to mention the resident pool 'bat'!
The food was adequate - but not the same choice as experienced at Taleni & Sossusvlei. Restaurant staff were somehow a little subdued - but possibly only because they were being polite! Felt that the lodge lacked a focal point - could have done with a more enclosed, cost coffee/tea point in centre of restaurant to encourage interaction between the guests.
Doro Nawas review
Located on a koppie with canvas-walled chalets at the base. The chalet was 1*twin bed with pelnty of space round it. "Please catch the cold water before the hot in the bucket - we get 100 mm rain a year and water is precious". This was not a problem.
The patio windows opened and the beds could be rolled out of the chalet onto the terrace for sleeping under the stars. There is an one-lane wide exercise pool - a new experience of swimming under the stars in the open.
This is also a lodge with no fences and animals are free to roam by. The views from the main building on the koppie were spectacular.
The food was very good, with vegetarian option on request - the manager asked on arrival.
Well placed for petrified forest, rock paintings at Twyfelfontein and Organ Pipes rock formation
Doro Nawas review
probably our favorite stop and we loved them all! especially loved sleeping under the stars!
the evening singers were a huge treat!
Doro Nawas review
We slept out under the stars here - an amazing experience. It was nice to have guides who explained the southern hemisphere constellations to us.
We still can't believe how close we were able to get to the elephants.
Doro Nawas review
Absolutely wonderful. Sleeping in a comfy bed outside under the biggest sky with the most stars we've ever seen was a highlight of our holiday. The reception / dining room looks like an old dark fort on top of a hill as you drive up but once you're in it the views are fantastic and the big soft sofas are great.
The rooms were the best we stayed in. 1/3 of the round building is outside, separated by glass doors from the inside. These can be pulled back and the bed rolled outside so we slept under the stars both nights. Each room is totally private with a great view - the outside shower (additional to the inside one) was a bonus.
Staff were very friendly and smiley and the evening (short) singing and dancing were very good.
Morning game drive tracking desert adapted elephants
Enjoyable but expensive....
We had pre booked the morning elephant drive. This was enjoyable but it is expensive for what it is. Difficult to tell how the 'desert adapted' elephants differed from those in Etosha especially as they were not in the desert when we saw them!
A word of warning - on leaving Doro Nawas to go to Etosha we wanted to go to the Petrified Forest. We stopped at the sign on the road, paid N$30 each (4 of us) and walked round with a guide, surprised at how broken up the petrified trees were (like logs lined up!!). With hindsight the fact that it took 10 minutes when the guidebook said an hour and the sale of bits of the forest should have warned us! 20 minutes later we came across the proper site with official entry, guides etc. We had to laugh but it's worth letting others know to wait until they come to the official site (white writing on a brown metal sign rather than handpainted signs at the side of the road) - having looked at others' photos I think it's a lot more impressive than the bits we saw!!!
Damaraland magic
What a beautiful place Damaralnd is. So much space, the ever changing scenery, beautiful colours in the rock, and so dry and deserted.
To slowly come across this large buiding perched on top of a small hill, so dark and brooding at first glance we thought it had been damaged by fire, was very exciting. We received another warm welcome with cool towels and cold drinks and were taken through to the enormous balcony, with panoramic views of the landscape, for our now customary welcome talk and explanation of services and activities.
The large huts were very comfortable, and we all enjoyed wheeling our beds out to sleep under the stars. There was an indoor and outdoor shower which amused us, and a small swimming pool as well.
We were able to watch sunset from the roof prior to our excellent cooked and served set 3 course dinner. We were treated to some singing from the housekeeping and kitchen staff, who made their way through the restaurant singing and and dancing as they went.It was all very jolly.
We went on the desert elephant trekking, and were rewarded with a good siting group of 9 female/calves in the river bed. Doro Nawas is a strong contender for our favourite lodge that we visited.
Doro Nawas review
The bungalows were huge and like Kulala the doors could be opened very wide to allow you to move the beds outside.
The staff were extremely helpful, and although offered their own tours reminded us that as we were self drive we could do the excursions easily ourselves.
I particularly liked the culture of responsible tourism and how the community own part of the lodge. Highly recommended.

Chaparral's comeback on blue ribbon trail
Southern part of Cuyamaca park shows shrubs, trees are resprouting after fires
Every trail in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park offers beauty and worthy exploration, while every trail there also shows the devastation that still exists nearly a decade after the Cedar fire of 2003.
Combine part of the South Boundary Fire Road and the Blue Ribbon Trail to survey the ecological status of this historic land, where you'll also enjoy some long views.
Park in the East Mesa parking area off state Route 79 and cross the highway to begin on the South Boundary Fire Road. This wide dirt road, open to hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers (dogs are not allowed on state park trails), winds uphill from the highway a few hundred feet where you'll have fine views over the East Mesa of the state park. Look for Oakzanita Peak on that eastern horizon; this rocky point stands at 5,054 feet in elevation.
About halfway along the South Boundary Fire Road segment of this hike, the road makes a deep U-turn. As soon as you round the bend, you'll encounter the big western views afforded on this road. You can see a few layers of distant peaks to the west and a high-mountain meadow to the south, all past a deep green valley. On the other side of the ridge to the west is the Sweetwater River, which runs through the state park.
To the north and northeast are Cuyamaca and Stonewall peaks.
After 1.3 miles on the South Boundary Fire Road, the Blue Ribbon Trail (hikers and equestrians only) intersects on your left and heads down into that valley.
Most of this southern area of the park remains chaparral, and its shrubs are clearly making a comeback. Lots of manzanita, chamise, ceanothus, sugar bush and scrub oak seem to be thriving on the Blue Ribbon Trail. Look for the spring blooms of manzanita, chamise and ceanothus here in March and April.
Manzanita, chamise and scrub oak all resprout from their bases after a fire, and you'll see that evidence on this trail.
But most striking is the comeback of the coast live oaks. They are nowhere near what they once were here in Cuyamaca, but the burned trunks have clearly responded with new growth.
Virtually all the pines and other conifers throughout Cuyamaca, however, were killed by the 2003 conflagration that destroyed 95 percent of the 25,000-acre state park, and they don't resprout.
In 2008, American Forests partnered with California State Parks, Cal Fire and Conoco-Phillips to reforest Cuyamaca.
In that first year, 9,000 pine seedlings — mostly Jeffrey pines — were planted across 25 acres of the park, then 78,000 more seedlings in 2009 and 2010 over 331 acres. Plans still call for more planting over 2,500 acres over the next decade.
In spring 2010, the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park Reforestation Project became the first public land project to be listed in the Climate Action Reserve for offsetting carbon.
But local environmentalists and scientists disagree that part of that reforestation should involve the grinding, mastication and burning of acres of ceanothus to plant those trees.
This issue is ongoing, according to the California Chaparral Institute.
Despite attempts to remove it, ceanothus continues to resprout from its underground burls and germinates from new seedlings, according to the institute.
However, when it has just been removed, exposed soil becomes fertile for invasive weeds.
According to a study sponsored by California State Parks, two biologists from San Diego State University, Linnea Spears and Erin Bergman, studied ceanothus — particularly Palmer lilac — and its comeback in the fire-devastated park.
"On a landscape scale, I recommend no vegetation management of Ceanothus palmeri-dominated stands," Spears wrote. "Ceanothus is a nitrogen-fixing genus of California shrubs that serves an important ecosystem function, especially following fire in California's montane forests. These shrub stands will naturally thin over time … allowing establishment of conifers. Ceanothus is also known to be an intermediate host for mycorrhyzal fungi associated with conifer species and necessary for their survival."

It is my pride and joy.
The wheels are alright for a mid-level wheel. I had them trued once a few weeks after taking delivery of the bike and haven't touched them again since then. They're no longer *perfectly* true, but they're not rubbing against my brakes or anything so I'll leave it until my end of season tune-up. I've taken them over some pretty crappy roads and they've held up pretty well. I'm only 135lb, so I'm not punishing them anyway.
I'd like to get a set of 1500g wheels from Oddsandendos sometime next season, though I'm in no rush to replace these. They've served me well for 2000km.


text: To be honest the machine shop i originally took it to to get a quote told me that it`d be fine to touch the starter ring and it wont cause any problems as its pressed onto the fly good and proper so drilling into it a touch wont really disturb it. I never did see how deep my mates work that i eventually got to do the work went. Pretty sure i told him all the info i`d been told and let him get on with it. He would have just kept going until the bolt could screw far enough in. I didnt have the need for washers so. My mate gave me some antirattle washers but working in a race gearbox firm they all use them but on a road car something like that isnt needed lol. The measurement on ETKA for the bolts are M8x16

Mumbai, Jan 29 (IANS) Indian movie lovers can now watch classics by noted French filmmaker Francois Truffaut, thanks to the efforts of an Indian entertainment firm Palador Pictures.
Palador, which buys the rights of classics and award-winning movies from across the globe to be supplied to the theatres, TV channels, internet, mobile, film festivals, corporates, colleges and clubs, has unveiled a package of five Francois Truffaut classics, titled Truffaut Collection in Mumbai Monday.
The firm also felicitated a visiting French film delegation. Noted French actress Olivia Bonamy, who is accompanying the Unifrance delegation, formally released the package.
The Truffaut classics included in the package are 'Shoot the Piano Player', 'The Soft Skin', 'Woman Next Door', 'Two English Girls' and 'Bed and Board'.
Inaugurating the package, Bonamy, famous for her role in 'Ils' ('Them') - the movie is being screened at the ongoing French film festival in the four metros - said she was overwhelmed by the response India was showing towards the French cinema.
Palador, which has a sizeable library of French cinema, also felicitated the former director of National Film Archive in India, P.K. Nair, film critic Rashid Irani, director Mahesh Mathai and cultural attache of the French Embassy, Mohammed Bendjebbour, on the occasion.
Welcoming the Unifrance delegation to Mumbai, Gautam Shiknis, founder and managing director of Palador Pictures, said India was now opening up to the world cinema like never before.
'Movies from France have always been popular among the discernible audience in India. Now that the latest French movies are easily available, their popularity and the popularity of the leading French actors is gradually soaring,' Shiknis said, citing the example of the response Olivia Bonamy, Julien Leclercq and Marie Guillard, the stars of 'Them', were getting during their current visit to India.

Guest Posting Over at Brooklyn Limestone
Today I'm over at one of my favorite blogs sharing a little guest post on a recent diy project. Come check out a bathroom makeover/update for our 1930's Spanish home that we finished for just under a $100. See you over there!
Favorite Trend: Botanical Prints
There's something so simple and lovely about vintage nature prints. Whether in a collage or by it's lonesome, a single floral stem or a blue jay framed is a classic and timeliness art addition for the home {a home of almost any style!}. Here are a few of my favorite rooms…
A wall full of illustrations can be an easy project; collect a set of matching frames (Ikea & Target have a great selection) and an old botany book or a few Etsy purchases for matting.
A few great resources for images include: PATCH NYC's line at West Elm, Art.com, Etsy artists Trampoline & Gennine (among many others), and free downloads from Vintage Printable.
How beautiful is this wallpaper? I don't know if I'm bold enough to cover my entire bathroom in botanical but it sure looks lovely in Lonny Magazine.

Jack Hare is an Easterner who has come west for his health. In Salt Lake City he is mistaken by Dene's outlaw gang for a spy and must flee the town to escape them. He is found suffering from exhaustion and exposure in rough country by the wealthy Mormon rancher August Naab. As he is nursed back to health at Naab's ranch, Hare becomes aware that Naab's holdings are being threatened by both Dene's rustlers and an unscrupulous Gentile land-grabber named Holderness. Hare also comes to know Mescal, originally an orphan of a Spanish father and Navajo mother, taken in by Naab and promised in marriage to his eldest son, Snap. August Naab does not believe in violent resistance to Holderness's incursions. To save Hare from Dene and his gang, Naab has him accompany Mescal to his sheep camp, located in an isolated valley fastness, and it is there that the two fall in love, even though Mescal knows that she is morally bound to marry Snap Naab. Packed with adventure, action, emotion, and unforgettable characters, Desert Heritage represents one of Zane Grey's finest literary achievements. And its vivid evocation of the Painted Desert of Arizona is without equal in the genre.

Chudzinski fired after 4-12 season
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Citing a "concerning step backward in the second half of the year,'' the Browns fired head coach Rob Chudzinski Sunday night after only one season.
The announcement came at about 9:35 Sunday night, about five hours after the Browns closed their season at 4-12 with a 20-7 loss to Pittsburgh — their seventh straight loss and 10th in 11 games.
The firing came after a lengthy meeting between Chudzinski, Browns CEO Joe Banner and owner Jimmy Haslam in which Chudzinski had an opportunity to plead his case, a source told Cleveland.com.
The meeting was supposed to take place this morning, but Chudzinski, who has three years left on his contract, pushed for it to be moved up.
Chudzinski's two coordinators, Norv Turner and Ray Horton, are also expected to be gone soon, and it's doubtful anyone on the current staff will remain. The staff is expected to meet with the top brass early this morning.
A source said the Browns regretted having to fire Chudzinski after one year, but that they saw the team regressing and felt it was time to cut their losses.
Leading candidates to replace Chudzinski will be Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, a graduate of Canton McKinley High and John Carroll University, and Penn State's Bill O'Brien, the former Patriots offensive coordinator. O'Brien, the frontrunner for the Texans job, interviewed for the Browns vacancy last year, but opted to stay at Penn State for a second season.
The Browns wanted to interview McDaniels last year, but he wasn't ready to leave New England. A source told Cleveland.com last year that McDaniels would "jump at the chance'' to coach his hometown team when he was ready to return to the head coaching ranks.
The Browns called a press conference for 12:30 p.m. today and issued the following unattributed statement:
"We appreciate Chud's passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally. We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year.
"Our fans deserve to see a consistently competitive team. We have high standards, and there's an urgency for success. When we believed we were not positioned to achieve significant progress in 2014, we knew we had to admit that a change was needed, and move forward.
"Browns fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters in the NFL. We're fully committed to bringing them the winning football team they deserve."
On Sunday, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was so disgusted with his team's performance in Pittsburgh — and 20-0 deficit in the fourth quarter — that he stalked out of Heinz Field with about six minutes remaining, before the Browns averted their first shutout of the season. He was also incensed after last week's 24-13 loss to the Jets, a game in which the Browns felt they had superior talent and lost by a double-digit margin.
Despite using three quarterbacks this season, the front office felt the team was getting worse by the week instead of better, a source said.
Meanwhile, the front office looked around and saw other first-time coaches excelling, including Eagles Chip Kelly (10-6), Arizona's Bruce Arians (10-6), San Diego's Mike McCoy (9-7) and Chicago's Marc Trestman.
I never liked Chud as a coach,he never showed any fire.He was almost like Shurmur,always low key.The players always seemed to be flat and not fired up,that is on Chud.
I agree with 123goz,I don't think he was able to evaluate talent.It is getting old,I'm a season ticket holder and I'm really getting sick of seeing nothing but losing.
No organization can expect to be successful with "leadership" turnover as frequent as the Browns. It's more an indictment of upper level management's inability to recognize the traits which are inherent in good coaches and players. OK, maybe Chudzinski wasn't a great choice, but who in management thought he was? That person should be fired, too. Jimmy Haslem needs to make the proverbial "offer that can't be refused" to get a top-notch coach who ordinarily would not consider coming to Cleveland to change his mind. Then they need to stick with him and let him get the job done.
Here we go again! The carousel continues. Why would anyone in their right mind want to come to work for this joke organization? Jimmah and Banner need only look into a mirror to see the problem. Poor organization and no leadership from the top on down.
But, I can't say that Chud was the right choice to begin with. It seems most game plans were adequate until halftime. The other teams made adjustments and the Browns did not. Thus, all the 4th quarter collapses. Then, look at pesonnel. O-line is questionable. Receivers dropping passes. Absolutely no running game. Go to defense and it is filled with stiffs! There is not ONE player on the defense that opposing teams look at and say "we have to avoid him". Of course, all the TV commentators gush over Ray Horton as D-coordinator. But, you can't criticize the black guy! This defense is pathetic. Then, the new front office, with their first pick, selects Barkevius Mingo, an absolute stick-figure that doesn't start and when he does play, was getting pushed around.
What is the one thing college "player X" does not want to hear on draft day? The commissioner saying "with the first pick in the NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select "Player X""! Career killer, right there!
The factory of sadness continues....
If the Browns ever get their act together the fans will literally explode in Cleveland, the most loyal fan base anywhere - always the same story, wait till next year!
Haslam and his tribe may be wearing prison jumpsuits soon, and Banner will not take the responsibility for any of his or Lombardi's screw-ups, so hence Chud becomes the fall guy. A truly "gutless" act from a truly "gutless" organization. All Browns fans should march to Berea with their torches aflame! Or else just not show up next season!
