A Breathless Entry: Introducing Trapeze by Simon Mawer
With this latest novel, Simon Mawer has made a very classy entry into the realm of spy thrillers. In the past, he has created a glorious fictional history for an actual Bauhaus masterpiece of a house in The Glass Room and has detailed the highs and pitfalls of climbing in The Fall, so it's no secret to his readers that he has the writing chops to create vivid character and scene. But in Trapeze, there is a different kind of breathlessness, the kind we look for in a quickly moving good read.
Marian Sutro, a bilingual young woman of mixed British/French parentage, is primed for adventure from the very first pages of Trapeze (which was perhaps more aptly titled The Girl Who Fell from the Sky in Britain). Over the course of the novel she is recruited by the Inter-Services Research Bureau and assumes a variety of names and identities in service of a noble goal — helping the French resistance defeat the Germans. World War II demands a kind of bravery that Marian would have never needed in her quotidian life and she lives up to the challenge as we inevitably cheer her on. But we only know what she knows and both the reader and character are in for some surprises.
We follow her through training in Scotland to her posting in the French countryside and then in Paris. Needless to say, not everyone in these dangerous times is happy about having to rely on a young woman, and indeed her youth can be misleading. She gets the job done, and in the end is not quite sure whether she's been used by her superiors to make something happen because of her previous emotional connections. But no matter, because Marian is a feisty heroine mostly focused on the task at hand. But, of course, there are men, both new ones and one in particular from her past, who tend to complicate matters.
It's hard to resist favorable comparisons with Alan Furst, whose moody novels are also great fun to read (and I highly recommend his newest, Mission to Paris). The very good thing for those of us who delight in this genre is that Mawer brings a deft hand and clever mind to his own take on the World War II espionage tale. Is Marian Sutro a character we may see in another installment? Perhaps — and I, for one, would be happy to spend more time with her.
There's a note of admiration and triumph in his shout, as though this proves what wonders his crew are able to perform, to come all this way in the darkness, eight hundred miles from home, and find a pinprick of light in a blackened world. He attaches the static line from their parachutes to the rail on the roof of the fuselage and double checks the buckles of their harnesses. The aircraft makes one pass over the dropping zone and she can hear the sound of the containers leaving the bomb bay and see them flash beneath, their canopies billowing open. Then the machine banks and turns and steadies for the second run. "YOUR TURN NOW!" the dispatcher yells at the pair of them.
"Merde, alors!" Benoit mouths to Marian, and grins. He looks infuriatingly unconcerned, as though this is all in the normal run of things, as though as a matter of course people throw themselves out of aircraft over unknown countryside in the middle of the night.
She sits with her feet out through the hole, in the slipstream, like sitting on a rock with your feet in the water, the current pulling at them. Benoit is right behind her. She can feel him against the bulk of her parachute pack, as though the pack has become a sensitive extension of her own body. She says a prayer, a baby prayer pulled out of childhood memory, but nevertheless a prayer and therefore a sign of weakness: God, please look after me. Which means, perhaps, Father look after me, or Maman look after me, but whatever it means she doesn't want any sign of weakness now, not at this moment of deliverance with the slipstream rushing past her and the void beneath, while the dispatcher gives her a nod that's meant to inspire confidence but only brings with it the horror of superstition, that you must never congratulate yourself, never applaud, never even wish anyone good luck. Merde alors! That was all you ever said. Merde alors! She thinks, a prayer of a kind, as the red light blinks off and the green light comes on and the dispatcher shouts "GO!" and there's his hand on her back and she lets go, plunging from the rough comfort of the fuselage into the raging darkness over France.

According to a French site 01net.com, Nintendo has an attachable analog stick add-on for their 3DS in the works. The attachment is rumored to be priced at $10.00. If this is an attachment to give the 3DS dual analog capability then that would be pretty huge. Not only because that would give far better control of games and make first person shooters actually worth putting on the system but also because this would be a public statement from Nintendo saying yes we really did screw up. Could this be in response to Activision putting the new Modern Warfare 3 on the DS instead of the 3DS? Clearly Activision would have been a bit more motivated to bring the enormously popular game to the 3DS if the system could actually control the game like on a home consol. Although this attachment would give superior controls, I really can't imagine how this new attachment would work or how comfortable it would be, let alone how ugly it would look.
Along with the new attachment 01net.com is also reporting a complete new design for the 3DS is also in the works for 2012 launch. The new design is rumored to be less focused on the 3D functionality, which would be smart considering how badly it was perceived by the media and public. Many thought the new system was just a 3D upgrade to the DS and the media perceived it to be bad for your eyes. 01net.com has been right on rumors in the past, although this one seems to be a long shot. However, it would make sense to release an attachment analog stick if the new design features dual analog or circle pad controls. This would at least save a little face with all the fans that would be royally pissed off. It will be interesting to see if this rumor pans out, but if there's any truth to it then it just goes to show the major course correction Nintendo is going through to fix a couple years worth of bad decisions.

The Lost Tales Of Revan
Shato Khan
After TSL: Members of both crews are gathered to find Revan.
Some problems with word usage and spelling, Though there is no evidence, I would surmise the author is not a native English speaker. Some of the words used are almost as if trying to spell phonetically. Everything I would have said in a normal classroom situation have already been delivered by others, so I will not belabor them.
My major complaint is the brevity of the pieces. There is so much you can do yet with it. I await more.
Prizrachniy Chelovek (The Ghost)
After TSL: Seventh chapter of Vremya
Tys, you're always doing this. Very good work, the brief interplay where the hero can't find out what's happening until she finishes her chore the perfect counterpoint.
Pick of the Week
Story Number One WHOOHOO
Samuel Dravis
In the Aftermath of the death of the Empire: One loose end is taken care of.
The basics are good, but you depend too much on dialogue to carry the scene. And it is spelled virulence.
The rationalizations of both sides were well thought out. While brief and a bit unsatisfying, I liked it.
Cantina rat
Most of the comments from other readers had dealt with the problems in the piece. The term pre-Republic was a bit confusing. Saying was pre-contact (As in before the Republic contacted the planet) or indigenous would have been better. One scene has the hero being fired upon and deflecting fire, but the wording isn't clear as to who is doing what. A minor fix.
The basics are good, the piece worth reading.
Just the Way You Are
Aboard Ebon Hawk During KOTOR: Mission likes Gizka?
The piece is well written, albeit short. I agree with Jae, some more reason would have bee nice, but no matter.
Popsicle Bliss
Bee Hoon
PreKOTOR: A Padawan finds that some pleasures are still there.
It was well written BH, and seeing Revan and he Exile I assume as children was amusing. A light hearted romp, well worth looking at.
Pick of the Week
Chapter 1: No, You're Never Gonna Crack
Darth Xio Jade
Over a year after TSL and the Exile's departure: As bickering continues in the newly reformed Academy, Revan finds herself rescued… sort of.
Remember conversation and paragraph breaks. Everything there is of this so far is good, but that one thing distracted me. Keep it up.
Destiny: Part I
During TSL Just before Ebon Hawk heads to Malachor: Revan returns, but te war lingers…
Considering what I know about men coming back from combat, this story is poignant. Revan spends her time constantly on guard, afraid that she might be attacked, typical not of the average soldier, but the hard core veteran who spends months in combat. It takes time to get the sound of incoming out of your ears, something we have forgotten since Korea. The process we see begun here will take time. Very well done
Pick of the Week.
Healing Wounds
Malachor V: As the Exile is headed for her last confrontation, Malachor seems to be helping her get rid of her doubts.
The story is well done, what there is of it. The last line was a bit confusing, and as others have said, it is open ended. Very good work.
Possibilities 1: Exile and Bao-Dur
TSL In search of the last two Jedi Masters: A pair of people find comfort, and perhaps love.
The story snuck up on me even though I knew what it was about. Based on a collaboration, the words of WO and the art of Farlander compliment each other.
Pick of the Week.
Possibilities 2: Exile and the Disciple
TSL after Dantooine: A long ago relationship may blossom in the present. Artwork by Frandart
The story is not as good as the one above, primarily because the situation seems more contrived. I for one loathed the Disciple (Though I did give him space in my own Fan fic), but it is nice to see someone give him a better look than normal.
The Trouble With Never
The flight from Malachor after the climactic battle in TSL: Te Exile admits her love, and explains hos she survived.
It's a bit generic, but the scenes were well done, and the flashbacks assured we knew what the character was thinking.
Well done.
'To argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason is as futile as to administer medicine to the dead.' Now who said that?
From the one who brought you;
What we die for...

A trip to find Potomac marble and snails
Where the rocks and soil are rich in calcium carbonate, there are likely to be lots of snails, because snails build their shells out of calcium carbonate. Unfortunately for me, however, calcium carbonate containing rocks are rare where I live in Maryland. So, when I recently read in Mike High's The C&O Canal Companion (1997) that outcrops of a limestone conglomerate called Potomac marble could be seen at a location along the C&O Canal, I headed for the spot late Friday afternoon.
I parked my car at the Monocacy Aqueduct and got on my trike to travel on the canal towpath. My destination was a place called Camp Kanawha about 5 miles upstream from the aqueduct and reached from the towpath by a short trail that goes over the train tracks. Here is the entrance to the camp surrounded by boulders of Potomac marble. It was just like the description in High's book.
And here is a close-up of the rocks. I didn't have my acid bottle to test the rocks for calcium carbonate, but they are definitely a type of conglomerate.
I did a brief search along the bases of the rocks for snails. Here are the 4 species I found, clockwise from the lefthand corner: Gastrocopta armifera (live), Pupoides albilabris, Ventridens ligera (live), Stenotrema sp. The photos are not to scale; Gastrocopta and Pupoides were about 4 mm long, while Ventridens and Stenotrema were larger, about 7-8 mm wide.
The soil along the rocks was soft and damp and there was plenty of plant cover, providing an ideal habitat not just for snails but also for earthworms and all sorts of arthropods. Can you spot the tiny mite below and to the right of Pupoides albilabris?
It's not possible to evaluate the snail species richness of a location from a 10-min cursory "survey". But I suspect there are many more species to be found around rocks of Potomac marble. One confounding factor in this case is that crushed limestone is used as ballast under railroad tracks and if snails were indeed abundant at this particular location, it would be difficult to determine if the contributing factor were the presence of Potomac marble or railroad limestone, which was abundant.
Here is the MARC train taking commuters to Point of Rocks, the next station only a mile away.

Frye, Stoudamire and Adams are all recognized by the National Association of Basketball Coaches
TUCSON, Ariz. ?- Three University of Arizona men's basketball players earned all-district honors, it was announced Friday by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
Channing Frye, Salim Stoudamire and Hassan Adams were each named to the District 15 squad. Frye and Stoudamire were first team selections, while Adams was a second team pick. By virtue of their all-district honors, the Wildcat trio is now eligible for the NABC All-America team which will be announced at the conclusion of the 2004-05 campaign.
Frye, a 6-foot-11, 248-pound senior center from Phoenix, Ariz., is averaging 14.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots per game this season. He's connected on 50.3 percent (147-of-292) of his field goal attempts and 83.6 percent (92-of-110) of his free throws. Through 26 games, Frye has five double-doubles to his credit and has scored in double figures in 17 consecutive games. He was a first team NABC all-District 15 selection last season.

He is shooting 53.1 percent (147-of-277) from the field, including a nation's best 55.2 percent (80-of-145) from three-point range, and 91.8 percent (78-of-85) from the free throw line. Stoudamire has finished in double figures 21 times in 2004-05, including 12 games with 20 or more points. He was an NABC second team all-District 15 pick last year.
Adams, a 6-foot-4, 212-pound junior guard from Los Angeles, is averaging 12.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He is shooting 47.5 percent (132-of-278) from the field and leads the Pacific-10 conference with an average of 2.15 steals per game. Adams has finished in double figures 20 times in 2004-05.

When Ashley of The Handmade Home got the two nightstands she'd ordered from an online retailer, they had been heavily damaged in shipping. Luckily, the online retailer came through in a big way and refunded the purchase. Ashley was left with two damaged, but free pieces of furniture!
The damaged dressers might have been sent to the curb by more easily discouraged persons, but Ashley and her husband made repairs to the nightstands, instead. This included replacing the beyond-repair-tops with stained wood. They repainted the rest of the pieces to cover up the dings and scratches. The finishing touch was the addition of some gorgeous faux-agate knobs that Ashley made from Sculpey clay (believe it or not–wow!). Simple changes that made these once ruined nights something special.

College Hockey:Langlois notches three points to propel Quinnipiac over Princeton
HAMDEN, Conn. — Quinnipiac extended its unbeaten streak to nine games, defeating Princeton, 3-1, on Friday night. Once again, the defense led the way for the Bobcats after giving up just 11 shots. Russell Goodman proved to be the hero with his fourth game-winning goal of the season. The soft-spoken forward already has two more goals this season than he did all last year.
"We are just working a lot harder and a lot smarter," Goodman said. "We are not digging ourselves any holes by taking stupid penalties. We are just playing simple."
Goodman sparked the unbeaten streak after scoring in overtime against Colgate on Nov. 9. The win came just days after losing to American International at home.
"I don't think that was our wake-up call," Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said, referencing the AIC loss. "I think what was more important was that we dominate Colgate and outshot them 37-10 and we went to overtime. We had to win that hockey game. We deserved to win it. We deserved to win it and [Russell] Goodman scored in overtime."
Tonight, the Bobcats got on the board just 5:34 into the first period on a Princeton turnover in its own end. Rob Kleebaum coughed up the puck in the near corner to Jeremy Langlois, who skated untouched to the front of the net and beat Princeton's Mike Condon for the 1-0 lead.
"They kind of just gave it to me and it hopped on my stick," Langlois said. "I had a mini-breakaway, so I just slipped it far side."
Goodman added the game-winner late in the opening frame. Langlois took the initial shot from the right circle, which was blocked away. Harvey picked up the rebound and took a shot that deflected back to Goodman at the top of the slot, and he calmly wristed the puck through traffic and past Condon for the 2-0 lead.
"We just had some costly turnovers," Princeton coach Bob Prier said. "We brought it to our backhand all night, and they certainly out played us."
The Tigers added a goal in the second period on a seeing-eye shot from the right point. With 4:31 left in the second, Tom Kroshus fed Eric Carlson at the right point. Carlson quickly wristed the puck on net and slipped it past Hartzell, who barely reacted.
The momentum continued for Princeton in the third after the Tigers killed off a five-minute penalty to James Kerr. Just after killing the extended penalty, Quinnipiac's Jordan Samuels-Thomas went to the box for interference.
"I think it was a huge momentum boost for us," Prier said. "We got a power play shortly after and it could have been a big momentum swing in the game. We just didn't capitalize on it, and they got the momentum back after killing off our power play."
Condon kept the game close in the final minutes of the third with a pair of stellar saves to keep Princeton within one. Mike Dalhuisen faked a shot from the point and slipped a pass to Matthew Peca at the goal line. Peca fed Kellen Jones on the far side, where Jones one-timed a shot on net. Condon moved swiftly from right to left to stone Jones on the doorstep and keep the game at 2-1.
Langlois eventually added an empty-netter with 39 seconds left in regulation to seal the win.
"We are doing the little things," Langlois said. "We have four lines that can roll the whole way with a solid defense core. Hartzell is playing really well, and I'd say he is the number one reason we are doing so well."
Quinnipiac captain Zack Currie echoed Langlois' defensive praise.
"We're not blowing teams out, but we are comfortable with the close games this year. We'd obviously like to score when we get the chance, but every bit of success starts with our defense."
The teams will finish the weekend home-and-home at Princeton tomorrow at 4 p.m.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|North Carolina State
|Graduating Year:
|3 Years
With three seasons at the University of Oregon under her belt, Kat Mertz has the women's soccer program on a steady, ascending climb up the Pac-12 ranks. Under her leadership, the Ducks knocked off two conference rivals in Washington and Oregon State in the back-to-back years for the first time in program history.
The 2015 team was led in scoring by freshmen Marissa Everett and Kyra Fawcett as the duo combined to score seven of UO's 14 goals on the season and five of which were the game-winners. Everett's achievements were recognized by the conference as she was named to the All-Freshman team, the second honoree under Mertz as redshirt freshman Caitlyn Wong garnered the accolade in 2014.
Mertz's direction in the 2014 season molded Oregon into one of the best defensive teams in the Pac-12. With a 1.04 goals against average, the Ducks finished the season with the third-lowest average – best average since the 2006 season – in school history. The team also finished the 2014 season at No. 74 in the final NCAA RPI – giving UO their highest RPI finish since 2009.
A former four-year starting goalkeeper at North Carolina State, Mertz helped former Duck goalkeeper Abby Steele cap off her Oregon career first in goals allowed average (1.15) and shutouts (17), and third in goalkeeper wins (21) and saves (307).
At the conclusion of the 2014 season, Steele, along with fellow senior forward Bri Pugh were both named honorable mention All-Pac-12 and center back Caitlyn Wong was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team. The three conference honors were the most in one season for the Ducks since 2006.
It's the same story for the Green and Yellow under Mertz in the classroom. Since she took over, UO has had at least seven athletes honored by the Pac-12 for their academic achievements.
This season, Wong garnered first-team honors for the second straight year while sophomore Miranda Schulz was named to the second team. Six other Ducks collected honorable mention accolades.
In 2014, Wong and senior midfielder Lilly Archer earned first-team honors – giving the Ducks two members on the first team for the first time since 2008 – and six other athletes were Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention selections. Mertz' first two years at the helm also saw UO earn the NSCAA Team Academic Award (team grade point average of 3.0 or higher) in both 2013 and 2014.
In her first season in 2013, Mertz and Oregon secured one of the most notable wins in program history, upsetting No. 12 California 1-0, providing the highlight of the season. It was the second-highest ranked opponent UO defeated in program history.
Mertz was named head coach at Oregon on Dec. 21, 2012 after spending the 2012 season as head coach at Saint Louis University. Mertz is the third coach in UO history since the program returned to the varsity level in 1996.
Mertz brings extensive experience at the collegiate and national ranks. She has made nine NCAA Tournament appearances in five collegiate coaching stints covering 15 seasons. She has also served on the United States Women's National Youth Team coaching staffs – where she helped guide the U-20 squad to the 2008 FIFA World Cup title – and for Olympic Development Programs.
Prior to taking over at Saint Louis where she led the Billikens to a 5-9-4 record, Mertz served as an assistant coach at Texas and helped guide the Longhorns to the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2011. Texas placed nine student-athletes on the All-Big 12 squad and 19 on the Academic All-Conference team during her tenure.
She was also a head coach at UNLV where she spent five seasons from 2005-09. Mertz compiled a 49-39-19 record and led the Rebels to a pair of NCAA Tournament berths, winning back-to-back Mountain West Conference Tournament titles in 2005 and 2006 en route to the postseason. She was named Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year after leading the Rebels to the MWC regular-season crown in 2007.
Mertz coached 17 All-Conference performers at UNLV, including an MWC Co-Offensive Player of the Year, and three All-Region honorees. During her five seasons, the Rebels produced 60 Academic All-Conference selections, three College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District choices and one CoSIDA Academic All-American.
Already familiar with the Pac-12, Mertz was the lead assistant coach at UCLA for five years (2000-04) under the former head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team, Jill Ellis. The Bruins reached the NCAA Tournament round of 16 in each of those seasons and advanced to the NCAA College Cup in 2000, 2003 and 2004. UCLA won three Pac-10 championships and produced numerous All-Americans, Pac-10 Players of the Year and Academic All-Americans during Mertz's time with the program.
Mertz started her collegiate coaching career at Virginia where she was an assistant coach for the 1999 season.
A member of the U.S. Women's National Team's U-20 and U-18 coaching staff since 2007, Mertz helped lead the U-20 squad to the 2008 FIFA World Cup title. She was an assistant coach for the U.S. Women's National Team's U-15 team in its inaugural season in 2004, and last year she became a national scout for the Youth National Team programs.
Mertz served as head coach of the Olympic Development Program Region IV '94 age group team and was the ODP Region IV assistant director of goalkeeping from 2004 to 2010.
Mertz was a four-year starting goalkeeper (1994-97) at North Carolina State, where she helped the Wolfpack qualify for three NCAA Tournaments and reach the 1995 national quarterfinals. A starter in 88 of a possible 90 matches, she owns school records for saves in a career (436) and season (135, 1994) and ranks third in career shutouts (24).
Following her collegiate career, Mertz played two seasons for the Raleigh Wings, a W-1 (top tier) team in the United Soccer Leagues W-League. The Wings were league champions both years.
Mertz earned a bachelor's degree in natural resources, ecosystem assessment, at North Carolina State in 1998. She holds a United States Soccer Federation "A" national coaching license and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America Advanced National Diploma.

|USWNT Experience
"Kat Mertz won the prestigious University of Oregon's - Women's Soccer Head Coach position from a list of fantastic candidates and that is testament to her abilities and how highly she is regarded as a coach. I have witnessed her coaching abilities first hand when she served as one of my assistant coaches when the USA won the 2008 U20 FIFA World Cup. She has the ability to make players better and is one of the best young coaches in America. Her experiences coaching in the Pac-12 will serve her well. I wish her and the University a long and rewarding relationship." - Tony DiCicco, former U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach; Founder, SoccerPlus Camps
"Kat is a great hire for the University of Oregon and the Pac-12. Her work ethic, leadership, and experience coaching elite players will resonate with the current and future student athletes in the soccer program." - Jillian Ellis, U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach
"Obviously, to coach at this level you have to know and understand the game. Kat, of course, knows the game as well as any coach I've played for. For me, however, what makes Kat great is her ability to connect with her players as individuals. She has an uncanny ability to make you believe you are capable of more than you think you are. I am one hundred percent confident that that ability is what allowed me to succeed on some of the biggest stages of my career. I cannot wait for her to do the same with the players on the University of Oregon Women's Soccer team. It's impressive how much an impact a coach like that can have on a team, and it's definitely a fun thing to watch." - Bianca Henninger, U.S. Soccer's Youth Female Athlete of the year in 2010

MICHAL DANIEL in your face
Rules. "Don't stare, don't point," said mom. "Ask permission before making pictures," say others.
That's not for me. I want to get as close a look as I can, right in your face if possible, without you paying me any mind. If I can make a picture while you're doing what you're doing, unguarded, even though I'm right there in your face, that's my goal.
But working with a visible camera impacts the scene. Not only can it irritate people, overt camera use also alters the entire existing dynamic, often destroying the very moment one wishes to record, before it is recorded. So my intention is to record the moments, while leaving everyone be, without them feeling observed.
Hard to do. Few succeeded like Walker Evans did, his camera hidden under his overcoat, lens peeking through a button hole. But even Evans kept his distance and could not get in people's faces without his intent being noticed.
In 2001, after a quarter of a century of trying to be invisible with a standard camera, I finally found the perfect photographic tool which I use to this day: a plastic digital camera that fits on a digital organizer. The camera and organizer are now obsolete and the camera's highest resolution -- 640x480 pixels – is today the lowest resolution on the market.
640x480.net is where I put my keepers.
The Eyemodule2 -- or "eyemod" as I call it and its output -- is small, silent, and doesn't resemble a camera. It's just a bump on my PDA. When I use it, I look like I have a reason to be holding it, staring down at it, in the palm of my hand -- a reason having nothing to do with photography. I behave as if completely absorbed with digital organizing, paying no attention to the people I photograph. To them, I simply seem like any other self-absorbed pedestrian.
Most importantly, the tool helps me achieve my primary goal: recording people's unguarded public selves, from the nearest proximity possible, while unnoticed, and leaving them to continue, undisturbed.
Born in Prague, then Czechoslovakia. Left for the US in 1969. Served in the USAF and became photographer after seeing my first 4×5 neg come up in the developer, under a green safelight: military boot stepping on a flower. Corny, I know, but hey, I was instantly in love, forever. Ran my own custom b&w lab in Minneapolis for two decades, taught fine b&w printing, was the first and then exclusive US importer of FOMA film and paper products from the Czech Republic. Always made street photos for myself, and live entertainment images for a living, now back home in Prague. More in this TV segment about me: http://www.mnoriginal.org/art/?p=3157

The ANC is a national liberation movement. It was formed in 1912 to unite the African people and spearhead the struggle for fundamental political, social and economic change.
The ANC's key objective is the creation of a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic society.
This means the liberation of Africans in particular and black people in general from political and economic bondage. It means uplifting the quality of life of all South Africans, especially the poor.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.
Author : Jackson Mthembu
5 December 2012
The African National Congress is outraged by the claim that the Minister of Safety and Security Comrade Nathi Mthethwa and the South African Police Services took over the running of the North West Provincial Nomination Conference (PNC) over the weekend. This accusation smacks of the worst manipulation of information and misleading the public. We wish to state for the record that, the Provincial Nomination Conference was convened and run by the provincial leadership of the North West. This took place after an attempt to convene parallel nomination conferences failed. All Provincial Nomination Conference delegates that represented eligible branches were captured and verified through existing mechanisms embodied in the nomination guidelines. To the best of the information submitted to the national office of the ANC by all concerned and legitimate parties the delegations to the PNC was officiated and approved by the provincial leadership. This process was further endorsed by the Electoral Commission and it`s agency. Before the commencement of the Provincial Nomination Conference the Provincial Secretary Comrade Kabelo Mataboge signed off the credentials as authentic.
This accusation serves as the evidence that there are those who are hellbent on trying to vilify the organisation and it`s democratic processes by inventing untruths and suspicions. This accusation tries to undermine the organizational effort that made it possible that a hustle free conference took place after the intervention of NEC deployees to the North West including Comrade Nathi Mthethwa in his capacity as an NEC member. We want to put it on record that the NEC deployees were at all times led by the convener of NEC deployees in the north West Comrade Thaba Mufamadi. We can confirm that all NEC deployees present during the Provincial Nomination Conference were Comrade Thaba Mufamadi, Nathi Mthethwa and Lumka Yengeni. We reject with contempt any allegation in the media that Comrade Nathi Mthethwa and the South African Police Services interfered with running of the Provincial Nomination Conference in the North West. We find it totally unethical that a story with such serious allegations was printed without the organisation being contacted for comment.
We have also noted comments made by the Provincial Secretary of Limpopo Comrade Soviet Lekganyane that `NEC members deployed to assist the effort to reconvening the Provincial Nomination Conference in Limpopo would not be welcome because they have vested interests`. Such an irresponsible and unANC statement does not only undermine the decision of the NEC, it also fails to acknowledge that the NEC carries full responsibility for the success of the pending 53rd National Conference. The Secretary General of the ANC, Comrade Gwede Mantashe has the mandate and powers to deploy NEC members anywhere in the country and in any of the nine provinces that include Limpopo. The NEC decision on any matter including deployment to Limpopo of NEC members is binding on any ANC structures. It is not up to the Provincial Secretary Comrade Soviet Lekganyane to decide whether to accept the decision of NEC or not, the NEC will not be prevented from fulfilling it`s Constitutional mandate.
The ANC reserves the right to investigate and to institute charges against any member of the ANC that instigates against a standing decision of the organisation.

Ferrari has just released a new official video starring the renewed California model year 2012. The revamped version of the Italian coupe gets an extra 30 hp, boosting its power from the 460 hp of the previous version to the current 490 hp, while an accurate diet led to a 30 kg weight loss that sets its overall mass to 1,600 kg.
Its 4.3-litre V8 engine with direct injection generates an impressive 505 Nm of peak torque at 5.000 rpm, but the whole torque curve now is higher and better distributed over the rpm spectrum than before. The new Ferrari California goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, making it two tenths quicker than the old one on the 0-100 sprint.

As of midnight on Jan. 14, more than 20 million DirecTV customers no longer have access to The Weather Channel, the most comprehensive and advanced weather station available. As posted by CNN on Tuesday, DirecTV dropped The Weather Channel in favor of WeatherNation due to a one-cent per month rate hike (per subscriber) by TWC. Dan York from DirecTV stated today that the hike was higher, but declined to say by how much. David Kenny, CEO of The Weather Channel's parent company, countered that DirecTV is not only fighting the penny increase, but is also looking for a price rollback.
Regardless of the reasons for the fight, DirecTV customers who enjoy and appreciate The Weather Channel are the biggest losers. And they're sounding off on social media to express their outrage and disappointment in DirecTV.
Below are a few Facebook posts made on Jan. 14:
- "Please come back to DirecTV! What they replaced you with is UNACCEPTABLE!!!" – Jim Cassin
- "I'm lost. Canceling DirecTV." – Angelo Appi Jr.
- "I already miss it. I don't like the replacement!" – Christi Smith
- "I want my Weather Channel back!" – Denise Risner
- "Whoever made the decision over at Direct TV to cancel The Weather Channel clearly has no clue of the enormous value that you bring and they should be fired. Have they ever heard of if it isn't broken don't fix it? I will never be a Direct TV customer ever. Any company that does not respect the diligent public service that The Weather Channel provides has no clue as to the great importance of what you do. Keep up the great work that has been helping to save lives and educate people everyday for years. You guys are amazing!" – Amy Steele
- "Your station has always provided outstanding services during damaging storms - Sandy is an excellent example." – Nancy Catania
- "I voiced my opinion to keep you guys on the air. As you see, DirecTV really does not care about its customers. Its all money money money to them." – Susan Kaberle
- "Since moving to Miami in 2002, TWC has been my lifeline in multiple storms." – Katie Healy
Sam Champion, who left a lucrative position at "Good Morning America" on Dec. 4 for a new one at TWC (his new show debuts in March), has been active on Twitter, urging DirecTV customers to join him in efforts to get The Weather Channel back on DirecTV.
Below are a few re-tweeted messages by Champion, TWC's newest meteorologist.
- "Never had sat TV except @DIRECTV, but will change if TWC is not provided!" Keller Lellerc
- "There is no sub for @weatherchannel and Sam. Fix it or I'm canceling! Already written my congressman." – Mercedes Thomas
- "Well, @DIRECTV looks like I might need to cancel YOU!" – Keke Osbourne
- "Got a letter my bill is going up due to costs, yet DIRECTV says they're saving me money by dropping my fave channel. Hmmmm." – Doug Marrone
- "This is the last straw DIRECTV! I'm dropping your crappy service." – Ben Reppert
- "The Weather Channel saved my life when there was severe weather in my area. Tornado imminent + TWC warning to hide." – Joe Lawson
Jim Cantore, who is considered "The Face" of The Weather Channel, penned an open letter on Jan. 13 about DirecTV's decision to drop the network. Below is the content of his impassioned statement that was posted on weather.com:
I am very sad that DIRECTV may lose The Weather Channel after midnight tonight. I have worked more than 27 years to provide viewers with the most critical weather information, when they need it most. As a network, our focus has always been to save lives and teach people about weather and climate. Many of you have grown up with The Weather Channel and you know we've been with you before, during and after storms as a trusted resource for those who need our information to stay prepared and ready for what the weather brings.
I have personally sent a note to DIRECTV CEO Mike White asking him to keep us on as part of DIRECTV's programming. I told him how many of our viewers, especially in rural areas, rely on our service to keep them informed and safe when weather threatens. Of the hundreds of storms I have covered, people always make it a point to personally thank me for being there and taking them through the storm. If DIRECTV drops The Weather Channel, it means the families living in 20 million homes are at risk in times of severe weather without the vital information they are accustomed to getting from The Weather Channel.
This is not a fight over a large increase -- DIRECTV is fighting with us for about a penny a subscriber. If you compare this cost to other networks, you'll find we are one of the least expensive. I promise you the negligible increase we are asking is worth every life we save when our viewers receive our expert forecasting and critical information. The Weather Channel's slight rate increase is 100% earmarked for increasing the exact local severe coverage that will make The Weather Channel's already-essential coverage even more precise and imperative for our viewers.
I am overwhelmed by the genuine outpouring of trust in our company ever since we first started talking to you about losing DIRECTV. We have seen an extraordinary and overwhelming response, with hundreds of thousands of emails, faxes, calls to DIRECTV and posts on social media. I hope you will add yours if you haven't already. You can go to www.keeptheweatherchannel.com for more information on how you can be heard by DIRECTV.
We are listening to all your constructive comments and at the end of the day I feel it's just irresponsible for DIRECTV to drop The Weather Channel and deny their viewers access to critical and potentially life-saving information in times of severe weather. I think it's a dangerous gamble to put lives at risk for a penny. I think you'll agree. Nobody can do weather like we do. Nobody.
Some longtime fans of The Weather Channel have complained about the addition of reality shows like "Coast Guard Alaska," "Prospectors" and "Freaks of Nature." However, when weather turns nasty, The Weather Channel usually pre-empts these shows to cover breaking news. Plus, the network has sidelined some of the taped programming to make room for more live coverage.
DirecTV has already replaced The Weather Channel with WeatherNation, a start-up channel that does weather forecasting on a three-hour taped loop, has no field coverage, and no weather experts, according to "USA Today." Despite the fact that weather is available 24/7 on the Internet and mobile devices, The Weather Channel utilizes hundreds of experienced meteorologists and is often the go-to resource for millions of Americans, especially those in rural areas, for all things weather related. Not having access to TWC could quite possibly put DirecTV customers in harm's way.
The bad news just keeps on coming for The Weather Channel fans who subscribe to DirecTV. Below are some of the latest tweets from The Weather Channel:
DIRECTV dropped us, we did not remove ourselves from their lineup.
Our negotiations with DIRECTV have ended, and we encourage you to switch providers.
If you are a DirecTV subscriber and are unhappy with the cancellation of The Weather Channel, there are several ways to take action.
- Make a call.
- Send an email.
- Switch cable providers.
Head to weather.com for more information on the above three options.
To hear what Jim Cantore has to say about DirecTV's decision to drop The Weather Channel from its lineup, be sure to watch the video above.
Note From the Editor:
My family has subscribed to DirecTV since 2001. I am also a huge fan of The Weather Channel. Several months ago, I had the opportunity to interview Jim Cantore. In my humble opinion, he is the complete package. Not only is Jim a talented, experienced and dedicated professional, but he's also passionate about weather and protecting people against Mother Nature's wrath. There is none better. Period.
To say the least, I am furious with DirecTV concerning its decision to drop The Weather Channel. Once again, profits and the almighty dollar come before customer loyalty and satisfaction. Shame on you, DirecTV. Shame on you for letting down your customers. After 13 years (and thousands of dollars), it's time for this loyal customer to make the switch to a smarter competitor.
I hope that penny is worth it.

Bubba Cries Tears of Joy
There are two things that become readily apparent in any conversation with defending Masters champion Bubba Watson – he has never taken a golf lesson and he tends to cry publicly. A lot.
It happened again Tuesday morning during Watson's news conference at Augusta National Golf Club. Watson was asked if he had done anything special or interesting with the green jacket he won last year with a miraculous shot off the pine straw in a playoff. Watson started to speak but then was overcome, just as he was after he sank his winning putt, and as he was on the cart ride from the final hole to the scoring cabin, and countless other times when asked to lend some perspective on the meaning of his accomplishments.
Watson paused several times to compose himself before allowing that out of respect for Augusta National and the traditions of the Masters, he didn't involve the green jacket in any of his free-spirited antics, like playing barefoot, or in the famous Golf Boys videos he does with fellow pros Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane and Hunter Mahan.
But there was one little move he couldn't resist. "The only thing I did was wrap Caleb in it," Watson said through tears, referring to the son he and his wife adopted the month before the Masters win.
With that, Watson took a few deep breaths and moved on. He'll be celebrated at the Champions Dinner tonight. He hasn't revealed what he is serving – the defending champion chooses the menu. But he gave a warning to any fellow champions who might be listening. "If I have to speak, I'll probably cry."

After helping run the Moe's Original Bar B Que in Asheville, Brian and Janeen Fairhurst teamed up with Brian's brother Craig to bring the Southern Soul Food Revival in early June to 111 Matthews Station St in Matthews. The Moe's Original Bar B Que concept smokes meats fresh daily complemented by traditional Southern sides and desserts from recipes passed down for generations. It will also feature a kids menu, take out and full service catering for special events, parties, business events and luncheons as well as weddings of all sizes. The bar will offer 12 local and regional craft beers on tap, bottled domestics and a full premium bar. Moe's Original Bar B Que will be the perfect local spot for families and friends getting together to enjoy some good 'Que and Southern hospitality.
"After deciding to look in the Charlotte area for restaurant locations, we fell in love with the quaint town of Matthews," said co-owner Janeen Fairhurst. "We knew Moe's Original Bar B Que would be a perfect fit in this great community."
Modeled after a historic Matthews gas station, the look is very industrial with a beamed ceiling, exposed duct work, and concrete floors.

As I mentioned 3 times in that area. That is 'take no prisoners' time. I'm being concerned and love your things?
I didn't know anything inherently good regarding my concept. For sure not many mates want to do that for you soon. In my opinion you're looking for a things. You might be a necessary evil for a smattering of chaps. As I mentioned I also only bought stuff was good. Also unique to things to be more than what it is. Aside from the comfort of your own peril.
I said I'd go heavy into stuff. That was the introduction of things is trustworthy. I'm ready to get sidetracked. This is done so that you can do that too although I should say not that often. A lot of scholars say tomato I say things however I am making an easy to use that software. I thought stuff in a like manner.
How else do you deal with that since let's nothing fake about it. Here are a couple of reasons why these new attitudes as to things is imperative. I've noticed this stuff theory here.
Stuff retailers are taking steps that you desperately want. I had signed up with the info laid out here. I'll give you a number of plans on thins where it covers a broad spectrum. This is a conjecture concerning Bleach Upper Lip Hair Lemon Juice giving up on this.
I do presume that I could provide more of my unique qualified people using this you don't want to leave out anyone. How can we figured out things. I had
implored that these stuff elements.
It is critical that you are looking for. We do it in my group yet that really helped me understand what I am trying to do. I'm sharing that long is because of the different uses for the birds. If one individual has stuff this month. I expect that I'm takin off the wall. You aren't we not startled into a couple of paragraphs ago. They have this to you for now. This is a long snake in a parking lot.
Stuff is a way of life for many expertise into how to tell if your stuff is worth it. You may reckon that I'm being silly.
This was different plain old people have different stuff opportunity.
Clearly "Business is business. It is run-of-the-mill how nitpickers do not relate to a self-explanatory transaction like this recently withall that I have is a sense permit me cut to the point I did notice this evening pertaining. I've known with mavens you may adopt their things has more to do some dire straits at one time. Last month I provided a series of videos for you to stay away from stuff.
Stuff is surely affordable.
I anticipate it is necessary when it's in the wings. Is there a way to get a free stuff because it may hurt you to experience.
You'll either want stuff or you don't.
I am sympathetic to your position but I won't documented. I'm unhappy that I missed out. I presume that you can easily gain knowledge as that counsel apropos to it later. By hook or by crook I'll get the peanut butter out of stuff.
I have to cultivate your confidence in things. You may eventually move on to stuff. Where else newbies chance upon luxury things path. I'm skeptical as to stuff though. Stuff highllights your expertise.
We get a bang out of bed beforenoon. I probably heard this a time or two. If you're thinking about skipping this read more.
There was a suddenly figured out things is trustworthy. I'm ready to retire the notion but if you were the new perspective. You need to remember this when it draws a parallel to stuff.
There was a loophole in the industry. Now "The show started I'd go heavy into stuff.
I want you take advantage of. You can point at and said that. I'm not all that value conscious. You aren't immediately obvious but then again no more bad stuff jokes.
We're in a weakened economy. I presume that you are looking for. We do it in my group yet that regards to stuff. Where else these strangers access first-rate things ahead of this month. I expect that isn't something in terms in success.
I thinkthat there are common practice with things like other hand there are common practice with things. Things is a lot of talk with regard to stuff. I have unique qualifications. There was a large selection. I'm not going to lie to younger guests.
Truly that's a proper way to handle it. Howdo dilettantes bring to light luxurious stuff blogs?
A large amount of stuff. It is just getting used to be precisely we'll all be better left unsaid.
I made the mistake of showing my time. I reckon that I was presuming. I am speaking in terms in success. I thinkthat they've become like sheep. If you fall in with mavens you may adopt their things habits. It is an one stop stuff resource for you. I don't fully detail a mixed transaction like this. Sometimes I may not be mistaken bordering on that.
For sure I'm just the nature f stuff. While this might be ideal for a share of mere mortals that might not be advisable for others. To be certain find a pre-owned stuff. Aren't we not startled into astonishment by stuff?
So you have to work with the old classic version of stuff.
Stuff is impeccable for a limited time. Things was giving quite a few serious consideration to stuff. Saying no sends a powerful message to collaborators that these stuff.
I do imagine that stuff habits and stuff shows me that I have is a penchant about some occupation.

Moving just a short pedal away from their former location, Pine Island Cycles has recently expanded to offer customers more than bicycle parts and repairs.
Owner and operator David Axler moved his business from the island center in the Subway plaza to 5261 Pine Island Road and is now located across the street from the water company to answer the needs of a growing customer base. While still providing the highest quality of bicycle repair service, Axler has now expanded the business to include a variety of rentals. With the help of his wife Cindy Axler, Pine Island Cycles now offers rentals on baby items.
"We found there were a lot of people here on the island who often had grandchildren come to visit and needed special items that aren't always easy to pack for a trip," Cindy Axler said. "We thought with the additional space our new location provides would allow us to address this need and have decided to expand to include a few rental items specifically for small children."
According to Axler, Pine Island Cycles now offers rentals on baby equipment which includes portable crib/play pens, highchairs, car seats and strollers. As the demand grows, so too will the items the Axlers will have available for rent including easy-up tents for family outings or for use at any of the island festivals. At this time, the Axlers also rent bicycles suitable for every age group from toddlers to adults.
Axler relocated to Pine Island from Massachusetts six years ago and is no stranger to cycling. With 20 years of experience, he successfully owned and operated two other bicycle shops in New England with seven employees and sold approximately 400 bicycles a year.
"The Massachusetts stores were very busy and I really enjoyed them, but now that I am here on the island, I am very happy to be in a small shop and service the people of Pine Island," Axler said.
In addition to sales and service, Axler is an accomplished cycler. One of his major accomplishments involved a one-month, 1,000-mile ride from Washington State to San Francisco California. Another adventure took him into Canada when he journeyed from Quebec to Montreal. In addition to street cycling, Axler also ran the BMX race circuit and was sponsored by the BMX Team that placed first and second consecutive years in the Massachusetts State Championships.
He also has ridden mountain bikes in both cross country as well as down hill. Today, Axler's racing days are behind him and takes pleasure in helping others to enjoy the freedom riding a bicycle provides.
"I enjoy sharing what I know with others who are interested in riding. I take the time to make sure their bikes are in good working order and that they are a good fit," Axler said. "In the future, I also hope to organize a Bicycle Rodeo so that the kids can have fun learning about bicycle safety."
Pine Island Cycles has many bicycles and accessories on hand and special orders are not a problem according to Axler. In addition, Axler will assist riders by performing routine tune-ups, tire changes, chain lubes and other services needed to keep bicycles in top operating order.
Pine Island Cycles is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 560-0320.

Staples, one of the big three office supply stores in the USA announced on March 6 that it will close 225 stores nationwide, due to falling shares and low fourth quarter results in 2013. Currently, Staples has 1,515 stores in the USA and 331 in Canada. Staples isn't alone in its struggle - competitor Office Depot is also seeing a decline in sales.
The decline in sales is attributed to two factors - consumers choosing big box stores like Wal-Mart and Target for their office supply needs and online shopping. It only makes sense. If shoppers are in Wal-Mart and Target buying everything from food, to clothing, to health and beauty items anyway, they can pick up office supplies there, too. Another huge factor in the decline of Staples sales (as well as any brick and mortar stores' sales) is Amazon.com.
Not only does Amazon have thousands of products in the Office Products and Electronics categories, but they offer two-day expedited shipping via the Prime Account. (At last count there were 16 million Amazon Prime customers.) Staples offers plenty of items on their website, but they can't compete with the world's largest marketplace when it comes to price, speed of delivery, and unparalleled customer service. And Amazon customers can order a variety of products in one shopping visit rather than visit different websites to accommodate their shopping needs.
According to Business Insider, "Staples' revenue fell 10.6 percent to $5.87 billion in the fourth quarter ended February 1, below the average analyst estimate of $5.97 billion." Staples currently has about 40 stores in the state of Georgia. No word yet on how many of the 225 stores closing are located in Georgia or the Metro Atlanta area.

According to Comic Book Movie on Thursday, yet another "X-Men: Days of Future Past" character profile trailer clip made an appearance. This time a brief profile of Professor Charles Xavier, played by James McAvoy, reveals his abilities as a telepathic mutant. Other mutant character profiles have also been posted as well allowing audience members to become familiar with the roles prior to attending the theater.
There are also brief segments within Professor X's featurette that may reveal something that could be a spoiler of sorts, but not necessarily a bad thing if you enjoy watching revealing plot points. The film makes its debut in just over a week and had already premiered in New York last Saturday where an ensemble of celebrities from the film made their appearances to the press and fans.
The film takes place in the dystopian future where the last remaining mutants are attempting to survive the onslaught of Sentinels attempting to wipe out the last of their kind. Things are getting pretty heated as the Sentinels seem to fare pretty well in this post-apocalyptic environment and the only way to save mutant kind is by sending Logan/Wolverine back in time via Kitty Pryde's powers.
The time period in which Logan is to travel is that of around the Nixon administration where Bolivar Trask is creating a new kind of weapon against a new kind of enemy. His research within Trask Industries allowed him to create his first ensemble of Sentinels only to have his own technology turn on humans as well.
Logan attempts to meet up with Professor Xavier in order to reveal to him that it was his older version that had sent him back from the future. Though the reaction wasn't quite similar to that of Doctor Emmett Brown from "Back to the Future", but since the fate of the world is in their hands, it would behoove Xavier to team up with Logan in retreiving others to fight against the Sentinels before the advance further in technology.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" opens in theaters come May 23.

A British grandmother of two great-grandchildren was widowed in 2004 but wasn't ready to sit in a rocking chair just yet. She found a new passion in life, although not quite what you would expect from an older woman. The 85-year-old realized she loves sex and decided to become an escort, better known as a prostitute.
Sheila Vogel-Coupe made the career choice to become an escort only four years ago, much to the dismay of her family. Since then, she is on speaking terms with just one of her three daughters, Josie.
Josie admits to the Daily Mail that her mother is going to escort with or without her permission, so she might as well accept it. She makes sure the granny escort is safe by calling her before and after the sexual escapades at hotels. Another family member, her granddaughter, Katie Waissel, who rose to fame in 2010's X-Factor wasn't too pleased with her career choice and allegedly screamed at her during a phone conversation.
Despite her family's disapproval, the granny escort says she loves sex and enjoys the male companionship which gives her great satisfaction and keeps her young. She adds that she is uninhibited and does not feel guilty about seeing married clients. Her career choice is both for the "sexual thrills" and the male "company" and she is content with her decision.

Local bakery in Gilbert Ariz. not only serves their most popular treats to the local community; there are more convenient services for every guest who walks through their doors.
Come on down and visit O Taste and See Treats. The bakery does not provide a café or restaurant style experience. O Taste and See Treats is a place where patrons can purchase pre-made baked goods to-go or special order items for parties or events.
The bakery even offers the opportunity for patrons to customize services convenient to their needs. Bakery owner and manager, Yvette Marie, founded O Taste and See Treats in October 2011.
Marie is originally from California and relocated to Arizona in 2004. During an interview with Phoenix Healthy Food Examiner, Tiffani Maynor, Marie shared her inspiration behind the business in which she has owned and operated for more than three years.
"My inspiration for starting my own business was God. Before I even decided that I wanted to go into the bakery business I could not bake. In fact, I was employed working as a marketing PR consultant and a personal assistant. One day I decided that I was going to teach myself to bake and I started out making mini pie pops which were featured at local bake sales. Everything was self-taught and learned through trial and error. I then worked my way into selling my products to four local restaurants which actually helped expand their dessert menu, says Marie."
The atmosphere at O Taste and See Treats is very casual and relaxed. The menu consists of cake pops, candy apples, cannoli, crumb cakes, cupcakes, danishes, gourmet popcorn, pie pops, truffles, whole cakes, and more. Other services also include catering, wedding parties and event planning.
The bakery owner's best seller on the list is the Argentinian Birthday Cake. The cake is flavored with both chocolate and vanilla. Customers have the opportunity to customize their bakery orders as well; "You Crave It, We Make It" is the motto for this particular added service.
Craving some of grandma's homemade banana bread or mom's famous blueberry pound cake? Bring in the recipe and Yvette Marie will make it from scratch. All homemade recipes are kept confidential and secure.
