Charges don't stick to Mdluli, he's teflon
FUL also applied for an interdict against Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa, preventing him from moving Mdluli to a new position before a review into his reinstatement could be heard.
The case will be heard by the Pretoria High Court on June 5.
Anti-apartheid activist and FUL member Mamphela Ramphele said in the organisation's founding affidavit that former police commissioners Jackie Selebi and Bheki Cele were suspended by Mthethwa for "less serious criminal charges" than Mdluli's.
"The way ... Mdluli had been dealt with by the respondents reflects an extraordinary degree of a lack of accountability and a breach of a culture of justification," said Ramphele.
She said Mdluli's letter, which plotted out a conspiracy against him, had generated mistrust and instability in the South African Police Service.
The letter, written by Mdluli in November, was addressed to President Jacob Zuma, Mthethwa and acting national police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
In it, Mdluli reportedly wrote that Cele, Hawks head Lieutenant-General Anwa Dramat, operational services head Lieutenant-General Godfrey Lebeya and Gauteng police commissioner Lieutenant-General Mzwandile Petros were ganging up against him.
Ramphele said the task team, appointed by Mthethwa to investigate the allegations in the letter, would not resolve "the problem" caused by Mdluli's reinstatement.
"By his conduct, the minister accepted that there was a need to act, but has not initiated suspension proceedings, or any other measure which would remove ... Mdluli from active daily service in SAPS," she said.
On May 9, Mthethwa announced that Mdluli would be shifted from his position to another division.
Last year, Mdluli faced fraud and corruption charges relating to alleged misuse of a crime intelligence fund, the purchase of luxury vehicles and the hiring of family members.
He also faced a murder charge for the alleged murder of the boyfriend of his former girlfriend.
Both sets of charges were withdrawn and Mdluli was reinstated as head of crime intelligence.
The murder investigation became an inquest. - Sapa
You can not fight the mafia and win.
That is the most sensible comment I read this morning. Just like DA yesterday, they can't fight the mafias and win.
I think this guy has knows something big about JZ. The way he is being protected, he has something big on him.... watch the space..
@7000000 you must be careful because you'll render everyone, who support President JZ for a second term, as idiots ( for the lack of the better word) like you. FUL have a point here, we have to keep our leadership in check and accountable we cannot allow such inconsistence to carryon, Mdluli must also be suspended period.
Comrade stop embarrassing yourself. Mamphela has the right
exercise her right and protect democracy. This are the values that
the likes of Mandela, OR Tambo, Albert Lithuli fought for.
She has a point, shifting him won't solve the issue at hand. If
the so called Spy is clean, let him clear his name first, B4 anything
else. Currently Mdluli is a threat to our society and democracy.
You are just one of those IFP Agents, trabalist and stupid.
@7000000, You are playing the person here and not the ball and it is just not fair. You are just being pathetic, personal and hateful. Maphele never said that She was the only academic or intellectual in the country. She is simply doing her job as a leader in Civil Society and making sure that the government is held accountable in the decisions that are being made as they have a tendency to reflect the whole country in a negative light before the international community. So please stop this blatant and unwarranted attacks on this Wonderful Lady who has done so much for our Country and still contributes to the development of this land. And in case your memory has failed you She used to be Chancellor of UCT and has many accolades and awards under her belt and widely respected.
all bloggers
This 7000whatever is a Johny-come-late on this blog. Please don't gloryfy this intellectually bankrupt m0r0n anyfurther. He doesn't know the credentials of this globally acknowledged human rights activist; academic; intellectual and a role model. This m0r0n must go to google and search for a biography of Dr Ramphela. nxa sies!!!!!
When Thabo Mbeki was removed as president i hoped that our country will move in the right direction. Though I was very sceptical of JAcob Zuma making a good president I was willing to give the man a benefit of the doubt. Now everybody can see that Zuma is messing up things big time. He will go down in history as the most useless president our country ever had. The man has never done anything worth mentioning since he became pres except to keep himself busy marrying new wives. I hope the ANC will in future make sure that a clown like Zuma, with his standard 3 education, is never allowed anywhere near the instruments of power. No second term for this man.

By The Gwinnett Daily Post
DACULA - "The puppet show must go on now," Caroline Clayton announced to her audience.
"And now presenting ... Marley," big brother Jackson called from behind a door, as Caroline, 4, stuck out her arm, which was covered by a large, furry dog puppet.
Flyflicker, a big, green frog that covered Jackson's right arm, and Waterball, a light blue, stuffed whale, soon joined the cast of fuzzy animal characters.
"This is amazing compared to what she was," Heidi Clayton said of her daughter during a pause between acts at the family's Dacula home Tuesday.
Before undergoing Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's 300th liver transplant, Caroline spent months in the hospital as her body refused to accept the first liver she had received when she was just shy of her first birthday.
When Caroline was an infant, she caught the flu, and due to a previously undetected rare metabolic problem called urea cycle disorder, her body stopped being able to process proteins.
"It sent her into acute liver failure," Heidi Clayton said. "She got the flu, the first time she was sick, and within three weeks she had a liver transplant."
Caroline's first transplant was a left lateral segment of a liver donated by a 40-year-old man.
"It saved her life, but it just never really worked for her," Heidi Clayton said. "She had multiple rejection episodes, five-plus within three years."
Rejection occurs when a transplanted organ isn't accepted by the recipient's body.
"Her body started reacting with ulcers all in her esophagus and her stomach and then the liver just started shutting down," Heidi Clayton said. "That's when (her doctors) knew that the body just wasn't accepting that liver."
Caroline was hospitalized from October to January, experiencing high fevers daily through mid-December. She was placed on the waiting list to receive a transplant in early March, just after her fourth birthday on March 1.
On April 9, Caroline received a second liver, this time from a 4-year-old girl. Two-and-a-half weeks later, she came home from the hospital.
"I'm just so thankful to the team and I feel so lucky to have such a skilled team in our area," Heidi Clayton said Tuesday. "I feel like Caroline is a miracle and they are miracle workers."
Although Caroline has experienced one episode of rejection since her second transplant, Heidi Clayton said her daughter is doing very well and she hopes the PICC line in Caroline's chest, which makes the weekly blood draws she undergoes easier, can be removed before cooler weather sets in. With the PICC line in place, Caroline can't go swimming or take baths.
"That would open up a whole new kind world for her," Heidi Clayton said.

Watching the raincloud take over me
Watching my people, what do I see?
Nothing but hardship, the poorer we are
We're living in danger of going too far
So here I am
Can you understand?
So much to live for
In so little time
So many places
All I have seen
Watching the sunrise
They dream and they dream
Watching the raincloud take over me
Watching the sunset, the end of a dream

Blind from birth, Juanita Dranes grew up near Dallas's Deep Ellum and was drawn to the foot-stomping, hand-clapping sounds emanating from the Church of God in Christ.She joined fellow African Americans in the practice of this fervent Pentecostal faith. By her early twenties, she was pounding out spirituals on the piano and shouting out vocals to call-and-response choruses. Some musicologists credit Dranes with inventing the "gospel beat," barrelhouse-style piano accompaniment derived from ragtime.
Encouraged by a talent scout, she journeyed in 1926 from Dallas to Chicago and the recording studio of Okeh Phonograph Company. In her hand she clutched a letter of introduction from her church. The studio staff was impressed by her original compositions. They recorded six of them in a single day, paying her $25 per track. No one had ever before recorded a sacred-singing female piano player. Dranes's powerful, rousing delivery had enormous influence on musicians who followed her in "the golden age of gospel," the 1940s to 1960s. She recorded additional spiritual songs in Chicago and Dallas, toured with an ensemble from 1926 to 1929, and provided piano accompaniment for other artists, among them gospel vocalists Rev. F.W. McGee and Jessie May Hill.
The Great Depression curbed the visits of talent scouts and the enterprise of Southern music.5 Dranes made her last recording in 1929. After that she played widely for church services and conventions, traveling with nearmissionary zeal. She is said to have lived, at various times, in Chicago, Memphis, Oklahoma City, and Cleveland. In each place she joined the Church of God in Christ. In 1948 Dranes relocated to Los Angeles, where she lived the last 15 years of her life, dying in obscurity.

Reigning Top Fuel champ Shawn Langdon won his first event of the season Sunday, taking home the Wally from the Ford NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway in Tennessee. Tommy Johnson Jr. (Funny Car) and Erica Enders-Stevens (Pro Stock) also won at Bristol.
Langdon earned round wins over his Al-Anabi Racing teammate Khalid alBalooshi, Terry McMillen and Bob Vandergriff on his way to the final round against Doug Kalitta.
"I was a little worried about pedalling in the final going up against the Kalitta group," said Langdon. "They are definitely the hottest car in the circuit. That's why it is great to be a part of the Alan Johnson and Al-Anabi Racing. You feel like you have a pretty good race car too."
Johnson Jr. earned his first win of the season and 10th of his career – first since 2007 – with round wins against Cruz Pedregon, Robert Hight and Don Schumacher Racing teammate Matt Hagan on his way to the finals against Tim Wilkerson.
"I'm thrilled that we were able to get it done and all that work paid off," said Johnson Jr. "The guys did a great job today. We've qualified great we just couldn't get it to go our way on race day. We've been competitive and we just couldn't close the deal. It's tough out here. I wanted to prove that we're not in a slump and we needed to step it up a little bit and we did."
Enders-Stevens took home her third Wally of the season with her win over Jonathan Gray in the final round. She beat Larry Morgan in the opening round of eliminations before benefitting from red lights by Greg Anderson and Jeg Coughlin Jr. to reach the finals.
"We had to dig deeper this weekend," said the Pro Stock points leader. "Everybody out here is hungry. As a driver, I knew I had to step up to the plate and get up on the wheel. Momentum is huge in this sport and we just need to continue to carry it. To get it done today meant the world to me and my team gave me a car to drive to the winner's circle."
The 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule continues next weekend in Epping, New Hampshire, home of the second annual Auto-Plus NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway, Thursday through Sunday, June 19th through 22nd. Keep up with the action at www.nhra.com.

SEATTLE — Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler sent a letter to health insurance companies on Wednesday reminding them of laws that protect people from being discriminated against based on gender identify.
Kreidler told the insurers they are not required to cover sexual reassignment surgery, but they do have to give transgender people the same access to health care as everyone else.
The insurance commissioner notes if services are covered for others, such as hormone therapy or breast reconstruction, they have to be covered for transgender people.
He notes that many Washington employers have already taken action to prevent discrimination against transgender people on their payroll. Medicare recently lifted a ban on coverage for sex reassignment.
Kreidler says his office is reviewing all 2015 individual and small employer health plans to look for discriminatory exclusions.

- noun
1. the production of something beautiful or extraordinary
2. paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc.
3. skill; ability
4. subjects other than the sciences
The beautiful thing about art is that it is subjective to the audience. Not everyone sees/hears the same thing. To you, it may seem meaningless, but to others, it may be something extraordinary. It actually might mean something to us. To sit back and disrespect an entire form of art is kind of tasteless. While I respect that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I feel you don't quite have a concept about what you are talking about. Interpreting art is the best thing about it. It is called using some imagination. That's why I like and respect all forms of art. it enables you to think about something and fill in the meaning that the artist skillfully laid out for you. Not everything in this world is cut and dry in black and white. thank god for that, because that seems like a shitty place to be in.
Yes art is very subjective but like all things there are limits. I read once that at an art gallery, the cleaner accidentally left the the mop and bucket in the open. So when people came to gallery, they thought it was an art piece and they praised it. People just want an excuse to find meaning in everything, i know rich bored people love doing that. Thats what I'm against, art that is not worth being called art. But then again, that contradicts the idea of art being subjective. Anyways, I will hate on it either way and nothing anyone can ever do about it,
As for cover art, Hybrid Theory has to come first for me. The only album artwork booklet I have is for A Thousand Suns, and I really like the "glitchy" and distorted pictures and graphics. Meteora has a really interesting cover, too, which gives the album a really cool feel. Minutes To Midnight are both simplified and are supposed to represent something else, perhaps what is happening with the music. I'm the furthest thing from an art major or someone who really understands the meanings of these things, but I have an appreciation for it, regardless, and for the people that can comprehend all these abstract thoughts.
It seems to me like you have more of a problem with rich people (since you keep bringing it up) more so than you do with art. I am not jealous of anyone. I am happy where I am financially. If people can make more money than me, that's good on them. I'll let them be them and I'll keep being me.
I also read somewhere that Emma Stone was supposed to come over yesterday dressed in a French maid outfit, but that didn't happen...
I hope their next art is about girl's asses... girl's asses + good music = impossible fail.
meteora... when i just heard dont stay at the start it just suits the artwork

The Prussian-Industrial Model
Horace Mann, credited as the father of the American public school system, studied a wide variety of educational models before implementing the Prussian system designed by Fredrick the Great. King Frederick created a system that was engineered to teach obedience and solidify his control. Focusing on following directions, basic skills, and conformity, he sought to indoctrinate the nation from an early age. Isolating students in rows and teachers in individual classrooms fashioned a strict hierarchy—intentionally fostering fear and loneliness.
Mann chose the Prussian model, with its depersonalized learning and strict hierarchy of power, because it was the cheapest and easiest way to teach literacy on a large scale.
This system was perpetuated throughout the early twentieth century by social efficiency theorists who sought to industrialize the educational process. Led by educators such as Ellwood P. Cubberley, they used education as a tool for social engineering:
"Our schools are, in a sense, factories in which the raw products (children) are to be shaped and fashioned into products to meet the various demands of life." (Cubberley, 1917)
Building upon the depersonalized uniformity and rigid hierarchy of the Prussian system, they constructed an industrial schooling model designed to produce millions of workers for America's factories.
Believing that most of America's students were destined for a life of menial, industrial labor, these theorists created a multi-track educational system meant to sort students from an early age. While the best and brightest were carefully groomed for leadership positions, the majority was relegated to a monotonous education of rote learning and task completion.
Consequently, our schooling system is still locked into the Prussian-industrial framework of fear, isolation, and monotony. For both students and teachers, procedure is emphasized over innovation, uniformity over individual expression, and control over empowerment. It is, therefore, not surprising that the majority of America's classrooms have changed little in over one hundred years.
For more information on the Prussian-Industrial model see our working paper The Prussian-Industrial History of Public Schooling.

According to the Canadian Olympic Committee in a press release on Wednesday, Eric Myles has been hired as the Canadian Olympic Committee's executive director of sport.
The executive director of sport position is a newly created one by the Canadian Olympic Committee. It appears Myles will be responsible for working closely with national sports federations to ensure that Canada continues to produce high performance athletes at future Olympic Games. He will be starting next week at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
Myles, who will seem to be based out of Montreal, will work closely with and report to Caroline Assalian, the Canadian Olympic Committee's chief sport officer.
Myles has a canoeing background as he has represented Canada at the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis in the men's doubles 500m kayaking event, and at the World Championships.
Myles has also a wealth of administrative experience on the sporting stage in Quebec and Alberta.

Freeport - This week's Golden Apple award winning teacher was nominated not by once, but twice. Both mothers have students in Mrs. Tripp's 3rd grade class at Freeport Elementary. And both felt so strongly that Mrs. Tripp should win that they launched campaigns on Facebook to get family and friends to vote for her. It worked.
Twila Shields and Jami Garrett couldn't be happier to see Teresa Tripp win this week's Golden Apple award... neither could she. Twila's daughter Lanna struggled in school until she met Mrs. Tripp. "She has made such a huge impact on my daughter's life which in return makes a big impact on our entire family. Lanna loves going to school now. She really enjoys it. She has learned a tremendous amount," said Twila. Twila said family members from as far away as Louisiana got online to vote for Mrs. Tripp.
Jami's son Gabriel is visually impaired. She says Mrs. Tripp makes sure he has everything he needs to learn just like other students. "She gets computer programs for him. She makes sure his text is blown up. He has a board on his desk that raises his desk for him so that he doesn't have to bend over his papers to get close."
"Every child has the ability to succeed, sometimes they just need a little more support. I have always had a passion for children and especially children that need a little extra help," said 3rd grade teacher Teresa Tripp. That passion shows. "She makes math and science and stuff really fun, she makes games out of vocabulary words and stuff like that," said Gabriel Garrett. "She gives me tools to do homework," said 3rd grader Lanna Shields.
Tripp started out as a paraprofessional. It took her 12 years to get through college, working during the day and attending class at night. After working so hard to become a teacher, she says each day is a reward in itself. "It's the first job that I truly, truly love to get up every morning and come to work." "She is a natural teacher, she looks forward to planning interesting lessons for the children. She is always implementing something new that she has learned," said Pam Jones, the principal at Freeport Elementary.
Congratulations to Mrs. Tripp. This week's Golden Apple Award winning teacher.

All 1.2 Billion Indians To Receive Antichrist's Mark of the Beast
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
- Revelation 13:16 -18
The time of the Antichrist is nigh upon us, and the dotted souls of India shall be the harbingers of his dark global tyranny.
Indian officials announced today that each of its 1.2 billion citizens, even those who live in absolute squalor in the most remote villages, will be implanted with cyber-age biometric identify cards. That is; the carrying chip for the mark of the Beast.
One must question if the Antichrist already walks among the curry-scented people of India, as only months ago the Delhi Government created a mysterious veil branch named the Unique Identification Authority, tasked with tracking down any unbranded Indian.
The man tasked with carrying out these orders is named Nandan Nilekani who is famous for saying such things like "the world is flat". Seriously.
Dear friends of the faith, the land of India is filled with unprecedented levels of disease, destitution and pagan cow worship. Yet, we can see Satan does not discriminate in making his kingdom the land of iniquity.
I know we all had our suspicions that Barack Obama was the Antichrist, but this is further proof that we must not be to hasty to judge. The Antichrist can be anyone, from a nation's leader to the strong-accented Indian immigrant at your local 7-11.
The day will come when he charges you $1.00 for some beef jerky, he will suddenly demand you scan your right hand or forehead to pay for it!
Perhaps it will be that when you need your computer or cell phone service issue fixed, you can only access the Indian in the call center with a biometic ID card.
The ways of the Antichrist are crafty and he is soon to recruit 1.2 billion Indians in his army of atrocities. It is all prophesied so all we can do is pray and keep the faith, so we won't be left behind come Judgment Day.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Philadelphia Orchestra Plays the Bankruptcy Blues
The Philadelphia Orchestra Association is once again trying to tug on patrons' heartstrings, but this time it's making its plea with words, not musical notes.
The nonprofit behind one of the country's premier orchestras is hoping that listeners who've felt moved by its musicians' rendition of Beethoven's Fifth or Mozart's Requiem will now feel compelled to open up their wallets.
The orchestra sought bankruptcy protection on Saturday and immediately launched its "Listen with Your Heart" campaign, intended to drum up some extra dollars for the ailing organization.
"We are at a crossroads," the orchestra said on its website. "And we ask the citizens of Philadelphia to join with us as we fight for this cultural institution—an icon that has helped define this city's greatness."
Immediately to the right, readers are invited to purchase tickets to an upcoming concert or just donate directly.
"Your donations to the orchestra ensure that this great organization continues to make beautiful music," the website says.
Richard B. Worley, the chairman of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association's board of directors, in court papers described the orchestra's inability to weather a series of obstacles that include declining revenues from ticket sales, a drop in donations and an increase in both operational costs and pension obligations. "Eroding endowment income" and "burdensome contractual agreements" top off the foreboding mix of factors, which have led to a projected $14.5 million structural deficit for this fiscal year.
The nonprofit is hoping to use Chapter 11 to ease its pension obligations, revamp certain contracts, including a collective-bargaining agreement with the union that represents its musicians, and roll everything into a bankruptcy-exit plan that will have the backing of donors.
While the orchestra's services may not be as crucial to the city as those of, say, cheese steaks or the Philadelphia Phillies, the orchestra said its operations do generate $200 million in a "ripple effect of economic activity."
"The orchestra's presence is vital to Philadelphia's reputation and crucial to Center City businesses and other cultural and educational institutions," Worley said.

UFO Sightings Daily reports that on 20 October 2012 apparent military helicopters pursued UFO activity on 11 October 2012.
UFO Sightings Daily is coordinated by Scott C. Waring, who is a UFO researcher and author who has become an honorary astronomer through his independent investigative research on anomalies in space and on planets like Mars. Mr. Waring had been affiliated with the United States Air Force at SAC base (USAF flight line). He currently owns an ESL School in Taiwan.
Mr. Waring elaborates on testimony of a Des Moines, Iowa witness.
"I was driving east on 35/80 near mile marker 133.6 when I saw a dark disc fly in front of me (right to left)".
The witness then saw the helicopters.
"I then saw 2 black helicopters chasing it."
The witness did not report having fear at the sighting. The witness then decided to take photos.
"I didn't have any feelings, but my first reaction was to take pictures of what I could. I lost sight of the object because I was driving on the freeway."
Policeone.com had reported on 5 August 2012 what appears to be a pursuit of a UFO by an Irish police helicopter. First reported by Examiner.com, the video -- shot in an unidentified Irish village -- shows a UFO flying erratically in circles, while a police helicopter hovers close by. Policeone.com editors concluded that the quality and distance of the video make it difficult to identify either clearly, but the audio does capture what sounds like helicopter rotors.

If you are doing $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ of a tangent/cotangent function and you get an amplitude. Should you write the final equation with or without the amplitude because technically tan and cot don't have amplitudes.
i.e. $$F(x) = \cot x + 1$$ $$G(x) = 3f(x+3) + 1$$ $$G(x) = 3\cot(x+3) + 2$$
Would you write $G(x) = \cot(x+3) + 2$ because there is no amplitude?

Mother Nature has become a foe to many this week and I think it is safe to say that she clearly has not read the 2014 Old Farmer's Almanac. If she had read it, we would not have had freezing temperatures with wind chills that classify as a "severe freeze" (24 degrees or less) according to the Almanac.
By now, the projected last frost date (April 11th, Almanac) has come and gone and the garden planning has been underway, for some, as far back as late 2013, when they received their first seed catalog.
Some of you have probably sowed cucumber, squash and melon seeds, maybe some others too. After this cold snap, you can count on resowing any seed that prefers a soil temperature of 60 degrees or warmer. For plant details, including soil preferences, I recommend my trusty bible, "The Vegetable Gardner's Bible," by Edward C. Smith.
Another issue you may be facing is with the plants that you have started indoors from seeds. First, if you moved any to a cold frame after April 11th and somehow missed the cold snap, you probably lost those plants. If so; my condolences. Losing a plant from seed is sad, but more frustrating than anything else. Secondly, you may have plants that are now root bound and beginning to look weary and woeful. Do not fret my fellow gardeners, the answer to your problems is to "repot." If you don't repot into larger containers these weary plants will surely die.
I have a collection of herb plants I had to repot myself. Unfortunately, I lost a few herb plants before I was able. The ones that survived, are very happy.
As always, gardening (the weather) is unpredictable. So do not show any ill will towards Mother Nature, "for Nature never hurries. Atom by atom, little by little she achieves her work, " Ralph Waldo Emerson (http://www.gardeninggonewild.com/?p=22736#sthash.iSyZC6ji.dpuf)
Until next time, Happy Gardening!!

Want to have better sex? Speak up!
The more I talk to people about sex, the more I see that so many of them struggle with the very same things. High up on this list is sexual communication. Whether it's navigating consent, ensuring that they get what they need, or being a better partner, an awful lot of couples come up short because their approach falls somewhere between mind reading and charades. I'd like to offer a better way. My suggestion? Dirty talk.
Dirty talk is hardly groundbreaking stuff, but according to a 2011 poll by Adam & Eve, nearly one-third of people never talk dirty, while another 33 percent only do so sometimes. So I'm going to come right out and say it: If you and your partner aren't talking dirty, you could be missing out. Here are some key reasons why you should let the filth fly – and how you shy types can get the conversation started.
Why Try Aural Sex?
It's the most fun way to tackle a serious topic
If there's anything that scores points in the sack it's enthusiasm, but enthusiastic consent is a stumbling block for many people who feel that it ruins the moment. In reality, dirty talk is a great way to say you're in while still building arousal.
You know what's hotter than a partner touching you in a new way? A partner telling you how much they want to touch you in that way, giving you the chance to say oh hell yes. Suddenly, sexual consent stops being a stumbling block on the way to the good stuff and becomes a stepping stone to making the stuff we do good. This is especially true when you're with a new partner or you're trying something new with an old partner. (Want some ideas on how to spice things up? Check out 9 Sex Moves to Rock a Woman's World.)
It can make good sex even better
Speaking of making the stuff we do good, the best thing about dirty talk is that it gets people talking about sex, which is always a good thing. According to a 2012 study by researcher Elizabeth Babin at Cleveland Ohio University, chatty lovers tend to have greater sexual satisfaction because they communicate what they want.
Your partner isn't a mind reader; building communication into lovemaking can heat things up – and improve the chances that you'll get what you want.
How to Get Dirty
Breaking out of your sexual mime box
For some people, talking dirty can feel like diving into performative, porn-star sex. That can be a huge leap for more, shall we say … demure lovers. The first step to making it all more manageable is to keep it simple and keep it real. Forget about parroting all the dirty-talk stereotypes you may have heard; not all penises are "so big" not all vaginas are "so tight" and sometimes, announcing that your partner has been "very, very bad" just comes off weird.
The answer? Just stick with what's actually happening with the person you are actually with. Does it feel good when they touch you? Awesome, share that news. Do they have a great ass? They'd probably enjoy hearing about that. Are you excited to have sex with them? Tell them all about it. Perhaps the best piece of dirty talk advice comes from famed porn start Nina Hartley, who said, "Don't tell them what they want to hear, tell them what they need to know".
Talking dirty to a ninja
Sometimes what impedes dirty talk is an imbalance between partners. Maybe you're rarin' to go and your partner is totally silent. In this, scenario whispering "talk dirty to me" often yields results that are awkward – for both of you. It can be hard to find that softer side of the strong, silent ninja type, so help a ninja out! Keep it real. Go with questions. "What do you want?" is especially successful in this scenario, or something more structured to get them comfortable verbalizing. I love the exercise described by Chris Gore in this Sex Nerd Sandra podcast. Whatever you do, just make sure you give your partner some guidance with it and understand that, as with any sexual activity, dirty talk isn't for everyone, and that's something you'll have to negotiate.
If it works for you, dirty talk can be a sexual game-changer. So don't be shy: Get out there and get dirty!

Mixed Views of Hamas and Hezbollah in Largely Muslim Nations
Across predominantly Muslim nations, there is little enthusiasm for the extremist Islamic organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, although there are pockets of support for both groups, especially in the Middle East.
Chapter 2. Rating Muslim Leaders
Largely Muslim publics express little confidence in a number of key Muslim leaders. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah receives mostly negative ratings – except in the Palestinian territories and Jordan – while Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas fares even worse among the publics surveyed. Saudi King Abdullah is well-regarded among solid majorities in many of the […]
A Rising Tide Lifts Mood in the Developing World
A 47-nation survey finds that as economic growth has surged in much of Latin America, East Europe and Asia over the past five years, people are expressing greater satisfaction with their personal lives, family incomes and national conditions. The picture is different in most advanced nations, where growth has been less robust and citizen satisfaction has changed little since 2002.
Chapter 4. The Middle East and the Muslim World
Muslim publics around the world increasingly reject suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets in the defense of Islam. Overall, majorities in 15 of 16 Muslim publics surveyed say that suicide bombings can be rarely or never justified. Fully 77% of Muslims in Indonesia – and nearly as many in Bangladesh, Pakistan […]

So instead of dishing out 150$ for SpriteManager 2 (Unity Package), I've been playing around with Orthello which a free SpriteManager package.
I got most of everything I'd like working and it was fairly easy to setup however I am running into a few issues:
General 2D Question
1. How does one go about moving the gameObject with an animation?
I have an animation of a monkey that I'd like to play as I jump from Vine to vine. The animation plays on the spot (as I was instructed they should all do). However now I'm running into problems on ways in which I should move my transform according with the animation playing?
Should I lerp on the update thread? Lerp on every frame event?
Specific To Orthello
- I've setup my animations on the animation container and assigned 'Duration' values. The problem is that the animation will finish playing once the Duration has passed without playing every frame of the animation. Is this normal behaviour for animation systems? I imagine it's doing this in order to compensate for how often it gets updated.
If people would like I can post my C# Script. Here is a youtube video of so what I have also if anyone is curious.
here is a blog post I made on the subject as well (include the video)

Adding Collaboration Services Using the AquaLogic User Interaction Development Kit
Pages: 1, 2, 3
Let's now look at some portlet code. For the setup you'll need: Plumtree Portal 5.0.2, EDK 5.1, Collaboration 4.0, .NET Framework 1.1, and .NET Web Controls 2.1. The versions listed here are the minimum requirement. You can use newer versions as well. We'll be using C# in this example.
To begin any development using the Collaboration remote API, you'll need to establish a remote session with the portal and obtain an
IRemoteSession. From an
IRemoteSession, you can then retrieve an
ICollaborationFactory, which is a factory class for obtaining various Collaboration object managers. The managers are used to manipulate and manage the different kinds of collaboration objects.
This code sets up the portlet context, retrieves an
IRemoteSession from the context, and initializes the various Collaboration managers that are needed to run this portlet:
// Retrieve the Portlet Context and Remote Session objects IPortletContext portletContext = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request, Response); remoteSession = portletContext.GetRemotePortalSession(); // Initialize the different Collaboration managers collabFactory = remoteSession.GetCollaborationFactory(); projectManager = collabFactory.GetProjectManager(); tasklistManager = collabFactory.GetTaskListManager(); discussionManager = collabFactory.GetDiscussionManager(); // Helper to retrieve an existing project or to populate a project // with sample tasks and their corresponding discussions sampleProject = GetSampleProject(); // Initialize the DataTable for the Task DataGrid TaskTableData = new DataTable(); // Method to populate the Task Tree to generate // the Assignment Page CreateTree(sampleProject);
As mentioned previously, all Collaboration projects exist inside the context of a project, therefore, in order to use any of the Collaboration features, you'll first need to create a Project. In this example, I use a sample project called
PROJECT_NAME to house all the Collaboration objects that I am going to create.
GetSampleProject() method below does one of two things: it create a new project and populates the project with appropriate content (such as a task list, or tasks and their corresponding discussions), or it retrieves an existing project. You want to create only a new project once and then reuse the same project from then on.
The following code illustrates how you can query projects with a
ProjectFilter. The project filter allows you to optionally set a string as your search string, so you can query projects with names that contain the search string. If you do not provide a search string, then all projects will be returned. So in general, you should always set a search string to limit your results.
private IProject GetSampleProject() { // First try to retrieve an existing project with the right name IProjectFilter projectFilter = projectManager.CreateProjectFilter(); projectFilter.NameSearchText = PROJECT_NAME; IProject[] sampleProjects = projectManager.QueryProjects(projectFilter); IProject sampleProject = null; // Existing project(s) found, use the first one from the array. if (sampleProjects.Length > 0) { for (int i = 0; i < sampleProjects.Length; i++) { if (PROJECT_NAME.Equals(sampleProjects[i].Name)) { sampleProject = sampleProjects[i]; break; } } } // Otherwise create a new project and populate with content // (for example, task list, tasks, and their corresponding discussions) if (sampleProject == null) sampleProject = CreateAndPopulateSampleProject(); return sampleProject; }
If no project with name
PROJECT_NAME is found, the code will create a new project using the factory method
IProjectManager.CreateProject(). The project created using this method is not yet persisted. You can set additional properties on the new project before persisting it with
private IProject CreateAndPopulateSampleProject() { IProject sampleProject = projectManager.CreateProject(PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_DESCRIPTION); sampleProject.SetStatus(ProjectStatuses.NotStarted); // Set additional properties on the project here sampleProject.Store(); }
Once a project is persisted, other collaboration objects can be created within that project. For this example, each question in the assignment can be represented as a separate task, and the sub-parts of a question can be represented as individual sub-tasks. This will allow us to build a tree structure to visualize the different tasks and sub-tasks once they are created, as shown in Figure 1.
The three helper methods below walk through the process and code on how to create, set properties for, and store a task list, a top-level task, and a sub-task, respectively.
A task list is a grouping of tasks and their sub-tasks. The code below shows how to create a task list. The
ITaskListManager.CreateTaskList() method creates a new task list that has not yet been persisted. You can set additional properties on the task list before persisting it with the
Store() method.
public ITaskList CreateAndStoreTaskList(IProject project, String name, String description) { ITaskList tasklist = tasklistManager.CreateTaskList(project, name, description); //Additional tasklist properties can be set before calling //Store(), such as security information. tasklist.Store(); return tasklist; }
A task is like a "To Do" item that can be assigned to a user (not necessarily the same user who creates the task). A task can have one or more sub-tasks. Each of the sub-tasks can also have sub-tasks. You can easily access the tasks at different levels with the two task association methods provided in the APIs:
ITask.GetSubTasks() - Retrieves all sub-tasks of a task
ITask.GetParentTask() - Retrieves the parent task of a task
The code below shows how to create a top-level task with notes. You'll have to set a start time and end time upon task creation. Additional properties of the task should also be set before the task is persisted with the
ITask.Store() method:
public ITask CreateAndStoreTopLevelTask(ITaskList tasklist, String name, String description, DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime, String notes) { ITask task = tasklist.CreateTask(name, description, startTime, endTime); //Additional task properties can be set before calling Store(), //such as notes, risk, status, and security information. task.Notes = notes; task.Store(); return task; }
A sub-task is itself an
ITask created from an existing
ITask. The
ITask.CreateSubTask() method is used to create a sub-task. Like a top-level task, a sub-task is created with a start time and end time, and can have other optional properties for
ITask. This code sample shows how to create a sub-task from an existing task:
public ITask CreateAndStoreSubTask(ITask parentTask, String name, String description, DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime, String notes) { //CreateSubTask() will create a persisted task, so Store() //does not need to be called to persist the task unless // additional properties are set. ITask subtask = parentTask.CreateSubTask(name, description, startTime, endTime); subtask.Notes = notes; subtask.Store(); return subtask; }

A look at today's forecast
Through this morning rain pushes north and east continuing to be wintry in nature. Rain turning to sleet on the coast, with a mix sleet and snow inland; the deepest accumulations over the tops of the hills.
The forecast stays the same heading into the afternoon with most of the precipitation falling as snow away from the coast. Later in the day the wintry element will ease, leading us into a drier evening. Wrap up warm because the temperature in some parts won't get much above freezing.

Marking his first anniversary this week as the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Detroit, the most Rev. Allen Vigneron told The Michigan Catholic that his greatest challenge was reorganizing the Central Services of the archdiocese and its finances.
In the interview, the archbishop said he also wants to renew the emphasis on religious studies in Catholic schools, which will allow the archdiocese make a better pitch for financial assistance for students whose families might not be able to afford a Catholic school education.

anniversary as head of the Detroit archdiocese
this week. Vigneron is pictured here celebrating
the 50th anniversary of one of the archdiocese's
parishes last summer. (Photo by Gregory Piatt)
Last fall, the archdiocese announced a major financial restructuring plan that called for decreasing 264 employees by about 29 percent, the sale of buildings and moving administrative support offices to a more cost-efficient location. The moves, newspaper reported, resulted from the archdiocese losing about $42,000 per day.
Reorganizing the finances were needed so the archdiocese could have the resources to do its mission, Vigneron said.
"The changes that we've had to make here in the Central Services operation are going to mean that certain functions, certain kinds of services, have had to be combined," Vigneron said. "But I think part of the result of the reorganizing effort has been to make sure that what we do is of service to the people."
Even though the staff is smaller, the services the archdiocese provides will be more immediately available and more relevant to the parishes, he said.
Along with the reorganization, Vigneron spoke of re-launching Catholic education in the archdiocese's schools and an effort to help families afford that education.
"I think we need to … have a renewed affirmation of the mission and importance of the schools as part of the apostolate of the Church," he said. "I think, part of how we're going do that means even more intense involvement of parents in the life of the school and in the catechizing of the children in the school."
Vigneron added that faculty will need more intense formation so they are "advancing the catechetical goals of the school."
"With that renewed identity, then I think we make the best possible appeal we can for financial assistance, (and also) set up vehicles to provide assistance," the archbishop said. "I will ask people to be sacrificially generous for the schools, for tuition assistance. I can do that on the basis of giving them reasonable assurances that the schools are important for the sake of helping people be better Catholic citizens of the United States."

Marvel Comics' "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a hit sci-fi comic series about a ragtag team of superheros that I never heard about. That is, until the constant barrage of advertisements promoting the upcoming Marvel Comics' film "Guardians of the Galaxy" based on the Marvel Comics series of the same name.
Having never read an issue of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and lacking motivation to research the Marvel Comics website to catch up on the story, I was ready to give this film a miss. After all, there have been plenty of comic book films released already--mostly based off Marvel Comics to boot--and it's easy to get burned out on the escapism. From what the trailers did show when highlighting the characters, first impressions of "Guardians of the Galaxy" were pretty much "It's 'The Avengers...' IN SPACE!"
July 7 was a night for some lucky people to get an exclusive 17-minute sneak peek of "Guardians of the Galaxy" before its official release on August 1. Being one such lucky person, I decided to give the film a chance to earn my interest in the film.
That sneak peek made good use of its 17 minutes.
The sneak peek begins in medias res as John C Reilly introduces a girl, a living tree, an idiot, a homicidal maniac, and a raccoon as he books them into prison for something that they allegedly did earlier in the film. After a lot of fast talking and exchange of insults to each other, each member of the soon to be titular Guardians of the Galaxy gets a chance to show off their skills through melee combat, supernatural strength or speed, intelligent tech skills, Pokemon Speak, or crouching moron hidden badass antics. It's a flurry of action, humor, and excellent CG effects that makes for a wonderful action scene with character development and interaction.
Amid such a visual bombardment, the film does feel like "The Avengers... IN SPACE" with its Whedonesque dialogue and cast of Type A personalities not getting along. I still had no idea what was going on. But at least the sneak peek managed to pique my interest to see how these Guardians of the Galaxy came to be in that scenario and how its other action scenes highlighted in the trailers will tie together. At the very least, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is shaping up to be a fun summer blockbuster popcorn film that will entertain its audiences.
