I am getting in the Independence Day spirit a little early. Above is a drawing of George Washington, Father of the United States, done in a comic book style.
Nice! I totally agree (:< he doesn't need some snazzy, skin-tight costume and a shield to kick butt.
Captain America needs a shield, George was too bad ass for a shield.
Hey! That's not Captain America! He is General America!
Ha-ha. Well said, thank you.
Nope. He is Indispensable America! Or TTOKW (The Tyranny Of King Washington AC3 DLC) King America.
Fantastic Job!
A very nice tribute to the Original Captain America (terrific designation!). It's refreshing to see Washington shown as a strong warrior, as opposed to the older gentleman we think of as president. I only wish the flag was a bit more visible.
YES! Excellent job!
Wow, that's actually a very nice-looking Washington. Very distinguished and buffed too!
Thank you. Yes, Washingon was a man of imposing physicality, being well over six feet tall and possessing the commanding athleticism of a soldier and fencer. Also, even from a young age when his exploits from the French and Indian War were published, he was seen as a heroic celebrity of sorts, a bit like Captain America was in the Marvel Universe.
Oh, wow, how very awesome! Some things I know about Washington, especially with touring his home, Mount Vernon on a back east trip of mine some years back. That is such a fascinating house, oh, my goodness! Absolutely beautiful!
Swell job! Not to mention a clever take with the whole "Original Captain America" bit too.

The Steam Summer Sale is upon us and the wallets of PC gamers everywhere are under attack.
Only 50% off? You've got to be kidding, Valve.
I don't actually need or particularly want this game.
But it's cheap so I'll buy it.
There are too many deals to keep track of.
I'm not buying anything else.
That one game you actually really want is barely reduced at all.
The sale ends and you have no money but it was worth it for all those games you'll probably never play, right?

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Well run, fast courseIn full: I'm in the middle of training for the London Marathon, so this was one of my tune up races. Although it was a rather hot day, the race organisers made sure there were plenty of water stations, and the event was well organised. It's a big race, but it never felt as crowded as Reading has done. And to cap it all, I smashed my PB by seven minutes!Date of review: March 18, 2014
In short: Slayed the demons of two years agoIn full: I last ran this race in 2011 and suffered really badly in the heat. This time it wasn't as hot, I paced myself better and came in 30 seconds slower than my PB set at the far flatter Reading.The race gets great support from the villages on the route which makes it a lot of fun.Date of review: October 6, 2013
In short: Not as well organised as last year.In full: I ran last year and thought it was a very well organised race. This year was a disappointment.1) I paid for a car park that was supposed to be 5 minutes walk away from the stadium. It was more like 20 minutes.2) The Mizuno VIP access was a shambles. We were supposed to be sent wristbands before the race - then we were told to collect them on the day - and there was ONE person issuing the bands with a queue about 30 minutes long. I ended up not bothering.3) Baggage tent was a mess at the end of the race. There was a marshal telling the long line to keep moving forward, and other marshals inside the tent keeping people out. It took 25 minutes from crossing the line to actually having my bag.4) Too many runners started in the wrong pen. I was a blue start - I spent the first 3 miles dodging people with orange numbers stopping without warning in front of me. (And people with red numbers who were walking)And yes it did rain, but that's always a risk!Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Hard work in the heatIn full: It's a hily course, and combined with unseasonal temperatures, it made it a very tough run. lots of support on the route - most of the people living in Cliddesden, Ellisfield and Farleigh Wallop were out cheering the runners on - and many had hosepipes and supersoakers. They were also offering water and jelly babies. Hopefully it won't be as hot next year.Date of review: October 2, 2011
In short: Well organised race through interesting countryside. Shame about the rain.Date of review: June 13, 2011

Flattr is a relatively new social bookmarking and micropayment (or rather: microdonation) platform. After Paypal, BAC, and Visa and Mastercard bent down to political pressure, Flattr is currently one of the very few options left for people if they want to donate money to wikileaks and consequently Flattr is getting a fair share of exposure. In this post, I explain what flattr is, how you can use it to make money with your content and give some money to people who earn it, and how you can integrate it with your site.
What is Flattr?I think one of the fastest ways to explain is that Flattr is a social bookmarking site, where you show your appreciation with money. Some internet sites have paypal buttons asking for donations if you like the content. Flattr is similar to that but has some differences. Now again from the beginning.
Flattr was founded in Malmö, Sweden, by Peter Sunde, who was one of the founders of piratebay, together with Linus Olsson, as a way to encourage people to share money aside from content. It can be very hard to earn money with content on the internet just by advertisement and Flattr wants to make it easier for people to give monetary tokens of appreciation and for bloggers and content creators to earn money. How does it work practically?
You start by setting up an account on flattr and transfer some money to it by credit card or paypal. Remember: flattr is about giving and getting, before you can start making money getting flattred you need to add some funds. Withdrawals are supported via Paypal and Moneybookers.
Next you determine the monthly amount you want to spend (minimum 2 euros). Each time you click on a flattr button on a website you give a share of this monthly amount to that website. This can be explained with a cake analogy. Your monthly flat rate, say 2 euros, is the cake. Each time you click on a flattr button this cake is divided into another part. The video introduction of flattr explains this very smoothly.
Flattr was made open to the public only in March 2010, but since then has enjoyed a growth that has given it an Alexa rank of 12,872 (as of today), which means that traffic on flattr is only surpassed by roughly 13,000 other sites globally. For writers and bloggers it is also worth mentioning that Flattr combines elements of social bookmarking and is do–follow site with pagerank 5.
However, you can see that it is still in an early phase of development with its user base consisting disproportionately of young males under the age of 35. It is used currently mainly in Europe, although in the United States it currently ranked 20,451. According to the Alexa entry for flattr, around a third of the visitors to this site come from Germany, where it is ranked 2,007. It is also used by two major German newspapers, TAZ and Freitag.
The growth curve for flattr, again taken from the aforementioned alexa page, shows that from March 2010, the site has been attracting more and more visitors to their website and with a bounce rate of below 60 percent it is an obvious conjecture that flattr has been gaining many users. As of today, more than 300,000 items have been flattred.
The graph below shows Alexa's estimation of Flatt's traffic rank trend.
How to Integrate Flattr on a Website or BlogIn order to get money with flattr you need to put a button on your website. This is relatively easy and here comes the generic code, which you can copy and paste on any website.
(function() {
var s = document.createElement('script'), t = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.async = true;
s.src = 'http://api.flattr.com/js/0.6/load.js?mode=auto&uid=auffarth&langage=en_GB&category=text';
t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t);
/* ]]> */

I put here a version of the code which is slightly more complex, however works without javascript and gives visitors to your site the possibility to be the first to submit your pages or articles to flattr. This is why I included my flattr user id, the language code, and the category "text." I indicated in red where you would want to make changes.
Most important is to put the address (at
href) of your website or page on your website. Category has to be one of images, video, audio, software, and rest. The language has to be specified in the format en_GB (currently only English option available, other language options). If you leave out the
rev="flattr;button:compact;" then you will get the bigger default button.
The result would look like this:
Wordpress IntegrationSee the wordpress flattr plugin.
Blogger IntegrationIf you are using blogger, you can use the button above for a side–wide flattr button. If you want to show a flattr button with each post, then I have just the right code for you.
Go to blogger.com, go to design, html, choose expand templates, and search for

. Directly after that you can paste the following code which will put the flattr button below each of your posts:

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- A state historian says West Virginia still has about 4,000 medals available for the Descendants of Union soldiers who earned them during the Civil War.
Division of Culture and History Historian Greg Carroll says the medals are all that remain of an order for 26,000 medals for veterans that the state placed just after the war.
Each of the remaining medals bears the name of a veteran and his military unit.
Carroll says the medals can be distributed to descendants who submit official documentation proving their relationship, such as census records.
Descendants seeking a medal must submit an application, documentation and $30 to the state.
The State Archives has a list of unclaimed medals and other information on its web site at http://www.wvculture.org/history/medals.html.

Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is commonly known as the
Nation's Report Card. It is the only nationally representative and
continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various
subject areas. NAEP provides a common yardstick for measuring the progress of
students' education across the country. While each state has its own unique
assessment, NAEP asks the same questions in every state – making state
comparisons possible. NAEP results are based on representative samples of
students. Scores for individual students or schools are not available.
NCLB requires all states that receive Title I funds to
participate in NAEP reading and mathematics assessments at fourth and eighth
grades. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the U.S.
Department of Education is responsible by law for carrying out the NAEP
project. The National Assessment Governing Board, appointed by the Secretary of
Education, sets policy for NAEP and is responsible for developing the framework
and test specifications that serve as the blueprint for the assessments. The
NAEP assessment operations are carried out with the assistance from
State NAEP is administered in reading and mathematics during
the spring semester of odd number years. The most current NAEP data released
from NCES is NAEP 2013.

Sinuses are cavities in the bones around your eyes and behind your forehead and cheekbones. They are connected to your nasal passages by small openings. Sinuses keep the air you breathe moist to protect your lungs; healthy sinuses drain almost a quart of mucus every day. Sinusitis is an infection of the lining of one or more of your sinuses causing swelling, which prevents your sinuses from draining properly. Pain in your sinuses may be caused by inflammation or from the pressure which develops as secretions build up in your sinuses. The infection may be viral, bacterial, or fungal and most likely results from the common cold or allergies. Your chances of getting a sinus infection increase if you:
Symptoms of a Sinus Infection...
Self-Care Tips...
See Your Doctor If You Have Two or More of the Following Symptoms...
Remember... Sinus complications can be serious. Your doctor can tell you if you have a sinus infection with a physical exam, laboratory study of a sample of your nasal discharge, and X-rays of the sinuses. You may need prescriptions for an antibiotic, as well as a decongestant and nasal spray and/or nose drops. These work to clear the infection and reduce congestion. Severe cases may require surgery to drain the sinuses.

A jury convicted the passenger, Robert Darrell Johnson, 36, of first-degree murder. But that same jury later decided the killer was insane at the time of the stabbing, meaning Johnson would not go to prison for the crime.
Kester family members, who attended the trial daily in San Bernardino Superior Court, are outraged, confused and frustrated.
"This is a real horrible thing," said Barbara La Clair, Kester's mother-in-law. "I was thinking about making a sign and standing out in front of the court - just so people would know. It would read `the killer that stabbed the Omnitrans bus driver 18 times is walking the street."'
Lawyers confirmed that Johnson would not spend time in a prison cell. But he will not be a free man either.
"He will likely be sent to a state mental hospital," said defense co-counsel Andrew Moll, adding that Johnson could serve a maximum life sentence at a locked, secured facility where he will likely receive treatment and therapy.
Johnson is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 11, when a judge will decide which facility he will go to.
"If someone is found to have been restored to sanity, they could be moved to a different facility with lower security," Moll said. "But that is so far in the future.
A convicted killer deemed insane is sent to a state mental facility for treatment, according to state law, said prosecutor William Lee.
At some point during his treatment, Johnson could be deemed sane again. And if that's the case, he could be released.
"That scares us," Lee said. "That's why we pursued the fact that he should go to prison. We felt he was sane enough to be responsible for the crime."
La Clair, 69, of Fontana, echoed those thoughts.
"That is a scary thing that this guy will be out back on the streets," she said. "He's not crazy. He's sane."
But his lawyers disagree. They say his theoretical release is a long ways away.
"In Johnson's case, and from what came out in trial, it is highly unlikely, even impossible," Moll said. "This was an individual diagnosed as far back as when he was 18 (years old). He was involuntarily hospitalized 26 times. He has a deep-rooted mental illness."
On May 7, 2010, Johnson boarded an Omnitrans bus near Riverside Avenue and Base Line in Rialto and walked to the back. A few minutes later, he came up front started stabbing the driver, authorities said.
Kester lost control of the bus and it crashed into a tree.
Johnson ran off the bus and into a Bank of America where he threw the knife away, authorities said. He then ran across the parking lot to a Stater Bros., where he was arrested.
Kester, 47, died from multiple stab wounds.
"The crime itself, that he did it, was rather easy to prove," Lee said about Johnson. "It was on video.
"The issue came down to his sanity."
Jurors convicted Johnson on Nov. 27. On Dec. 5, they found him not guilty by reason of insanity.
During the trial, five mental health professional testified about Johnson's competency.
His diagnosis, which was fairly consistent, was a combination of schizophrenia and mood disorders, said another Johnnson defense attorney, Erin Alexander.
Johnson had ongoing delusions in which he thought he was being hypnotized, she added, and leading up to the stabbing, his hospitalizations had been more frequent and longer in duration, Alexander said.
"He is as mentally ill as anyone I've ever represented," Alexander said.
But Kester's wife, Misty, disagrees.
After sitting through the trial, she said she believes her husband's killer was sane at the time of the crime - and that he planned it so he would look crazy.
"I don't care whatever the case is," Misty Kester said. "I think a person should pay for what they've done."
Johnson is currently medicated and is "very remorseful about what he did. It is very difficult for him to understand why he did it," Alexander said.
And Misty Kester is left deeply affected.
"My mind won't rest at ease," said the 41-year-old Fontana resident. "I don't sleep well at night. I haven't had a normal sleep since the trial."
Misty Kester said she is uncomfortable with the idea that Johnson could one day be out of custody.
"I don't feel safe," she said.
The couple had been married for 12 years. They had six children together and Lawrence Kester had two other children from a previous marriage.
Her husband, Misty Kester said, was a hard worker and a good father.
"He was a bus driver for 15 years. He loved the Lord. He would read the Bible to the children," she said.
Along with the jury, Misty Kester and her family watched the graphic video that showed their loved one's death.
"He was a good person," she said. "Nobody deserves to die like that."
Despite the outcome, Misty Kester said she is happy Johnson's trial is over.
"But I still have to live every day knowing that he's only going to a mental hospital," she said.

A Houseworks innovation has fine-tuned the concept of battery-operated dollhouse lighting! This well designed, high-quality brass/metal fixture has a smaller battery case which unscrews to access a smaller battery. Everything has been made even easier because the base is magnetized! To install, just glue the tiny metal backplate where you want the fixture and the magnet on the light will keep it in place. The magnets are strong enough to hold but light enough to remove to operate the on/off switch or change the battery. No more fumbling with a permanently installed tiny fixture! The 3V lithium battery which is included is replaceable with #2300. The 3V lithium battery will last approximately 50 hours. The white LED is not replaceable but will burn for about 4,000 hours and put out much less heat than traditional bulbs.
The Norwich Ceiling Lamp has a frosted glass tulip shade.
3/4"Dia. x 1 1/4"H
Click Here for more information on LEDs.
Scale: 1/12
Assembly Required:
No1/12 scale, also referred to as one-inch scale (or 1" scale), means 1 inch = 1 foot
I thought I had found the perfect ceiling light for a small area in my dollhouse. It's so pretty! Then I turned the light on in the room and saw that it glowed a green light making the whole room look weird. I guess I'll have to keep looking.
I ordered one of these lights for an Aster Cottage I am decorating. The ceiling on the ground floor is very low, so there were few battery-operated lights that would look good. This little light looks adorable, and the short rod puts it at a good height for the cottage. I find the bulb itself too dim and too yellow, however, and it makes my dollhouse look creepy rather than warm and cozy. It is a shame that the bulb cannot be replaced. If Houseworks puts a more neutral bulb in this light, I would definitely purchase it again for my next house. Otherwise, I will look elsewhere.

Penguins-Jets In-Game Blog
Monday, 10.17.2011 / 8:00 PM ET / Features
By Michelle Crechiolo
0:00: The Jets have officially earned their first win of the season and their first win in front of their home crowd. The fans are earsplittingly loud (not sure if that's a word, but it seems appropriate).
0:44: Pens have pulled Flower!
1:58: Jets back to full strength.
2:16: Burmistrov is having a ridiculawesome game. He's got 2 assists already and just had a shorthanded breakaway. But somehow, Tanger is able to get back and put just enough pressure on him to allow Flower to make the toe save! Those two are quite the tandem tonight.
3:58: Things getting a little out of hand now as tempers flare on both teams.
4:52: Tanger out of the box. He gets a pass as he exits but is hindered by a pair of Jets hanging on him and can't get a quality shot off.
6:52: Tanger to the box. Pens on the PK.
7:46: Looks like a little breather does wonders. Jets just came on hard, barraging Fleury with a few quality shots. Letang actually dove into the air at the end of that sequence as Flower was down and batted the puck out of danger. Big ups for Tanger there. Fleury actually gave his buddy Tanger a few pats of thanks on the helmet after that. Hahaha.
8:11: Jets coach Claude Noel wisely decides to use his timeout as he has a few players that have been stuck on the ice for an extended period of time. They need to cool their jets. Get it?!
12:18: Oh, no. Mark Stuart gets struck in the head with a Niskanen wrister from the point. Play is immediately whistled dead and the Jets D-man hurries to the dressing room. Hope he's okay!
15:19: This is coming down to a goalie duel. Both netminders just had gorgeous glove saves one after the other.
17:36: Zach Bogosian just reminded me of my idol Bobby Orr as he rushed the puck end to end and capped it by ringing a shot off the post.
18:15: Sully is freed from the box.
20:00: This should be an awesome period. As the Black Eyed Peas would say, 'Let's get it started!' Pens start off with Sully in the box for 1:45.
- Michalek gets the Pens' first goal against the new Jets
- He now has five points in nine career games against Winnipeg (formerly Atlanta)
- Letestu has taken 14 faceoffs and won 8
0:00: Pens end the period on a good note. Jets' lead is cut to 2-1 on the goal from Z. Winnipeg outshooting Pittsburgh by the slimmest of margins, 22-21.
1:38: Finally! Off an offensive-zone faceoff, Michalek absolutely drills a bullet through traffic past the hot Jets goalie! Slater had won the draw, but Cooke jumped on it and sent the puck back to Letang, who quickly slid it over to Z for the score. Jets 2, Pens 1
2:01: Dupuis finds himself alone in front of Pavelec!! He tries deking to his backhand but Pavelec turns it aside!!
3:10: Neal with a beauty of a breakout pass to Park, who embarks on a 2-on-1 ! A few quick passes back and forth between Sullivan and Park, but somehow Pavelec gets a glove on 12's shot!
6:07: Pens back to full strength.
8:07: I take that back. Pens head right back to the PK as James Neal gets sent to the box.
8:40: Pens back to full strength. Jets certainly had some quality chances on that PP. Cue the sigh of relief.
10:40: After that great chance, Park's going to the box. Pens on the PK.
10:48: Park literally sends a puck through the goal mouth on a rebound opportunity! It literally hugged the red line as it slid through the blue paint and out of danger.
13:00: The puck takes a crazy bounce off the back boards and comes back to hit Flower, who isn't expecting it and steps back in surprise, knocking his net off its moorings. You don't see that every day.
14:55: Great shift just now by the Sullivan-Park-Neal line. It ended with Sully getting some open space to wind up for a slap shot that was blocked by Stuart. He's clearly in pain.
17:07: Jets back to full strength.
19:07: Cooke was a beast just now on the forecheck! After laying out Ron Hainsey behind the net, the Jets D-man trips him up and is now going to the box. Pens get an early PP!
20:00: Middle frame has begun in Winnipeg!
- Jets' official Twitter said that goal eight seconds in tied the franchise record for quickest tally in team history
- Vitale has 2 blocked shots
- Staal has won 3 of his 4 faceoffs
0:00: That'll do it for the first. Pens trail the Jets 2-0 and are being outshot 10-7.
1:33: Burmistrov puts a perfect pass right in Tanner Glass' wheelhouse. He one-times it home for the score to steal the momentum right back. Jets 2, Pens 0
3:14: Pens seem to have shaken off whatever was slowing them down to start the game. Letang swoops in and scoops up a loose puck in front of the net, but Pavelec has to come up with a big save.
4:22: Kunitz gets a prime rebound opportunity in the slot, but he has to come in on his backhand and misses the wide-open net!
5:59: We've got a scrap with Engelland and Chris Thorburn! Engo with a lot of passion trying to get his team going! Fight breaks up amicably with Engo mouthing "good job" to the former Pen as the refs separate them. Hopefully that gets the boys fired up.
7:19: Neal literally parts a bunch of Jets in the slot, but after all that deft manuvering he hits the post!! So close!
8:24: Jets back to full strength. Solid kill by Winnipeg. Still no pucks to the cage for the Pens.
10:24: Pressure on Pittsburgh gets relieved a bit when Blake Wheeler is sent to the box for holding Park. Pens on the PP!
12:20: Pens have yet to register a shot on goal. Jets already have four (along with six blocks attemped slash missed attempts). They certainly have the Pens back on their heels right now...
15:22: Play seems to have settled down after that ridiculously fast start (which the Jets say tied the franchise record for quickest goal in team history).
19:53: Talk about a quick start. Jets get on the board just eight seconds in on a tic-tac-toe play that ends with Kyle Wellwood tapping one past Fleury. The already-raucous crowd goes nuts. Jets 1, Pens 0
20:00: The teams are cleared for takeoff!!! (That was a bad joke. Sorry). Puck drops. Game on!
Here are the official Pens' lines for tonight's tilt:
Fleury between the pipes. They're a goalie's best friend.
BONUS: Sam Kasan was kind enough to get us the Jets' lineup this morning in addition to his always-hilarious picture captions. Evander Kane, Randy Jones and Mark Stuart are the scratches.
Pavelec in net.
The moment is almost here. The moment, that is, when the Penguins will hit the ice in Winnipeg for the first time since Feb. 16, 1996, where goaltender Tom Barrasso stopped all 32 shots he faced for his 10th shutout as a Penguin and Jaromir Jagr scored the only goal in a 1-0 Penguins' victory.
Fifteen years is obviously a long time, so it's going to be incredibly special for the Penguins to go down that runway and take on these new Jets. Unfortunately, not only will Pittsburgh be without Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Dustin Jeffrey and Brooks Orpik, all of whom did not make the trip, but they'll also be missing Tyler Kennedy. As reported earlier, TK is experiencing concussion-like symptoms and will need to be evaluated further. Steve Macintyre will replace him in the lineup.
The Penguins are just the second team to visit the Jets in their cozy barn, the MTS Centre (which I hear is absolutely freezing in spite of its smaller size). So in honor of that, here's the pre-game intro Winnipeg played before their home opener. Enjoy watching history unfold.

Highlands rice paddies
read moreread less
While rice is grown in Timor-Leste, it is not grown well. The country still suffers from annual "hungry seasons," where crops fail and villagers literally starve for several months. Malnutrition remains pervasive, and Timor-Leste is one of the top three countries in the world for child malnutrition and stunting with estimates that 54% of children are chronically malnourished. In this area, along the western border, the problem is particuarly acute with around 75% of children stunted. Programs to improve rice yield and quality have been run by a range of donors, but progress remains slow in the face of a rapidly growing population.

I love the smell of these warm Fruit and Nut Scones on a cold winter morning with a great cup of coffee. These scones are good. They are crunchy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. They are easy to throw together and a wonderful addition to any breakfast when you have a houseful of guests.
Fruit and Nut Scones
- 2 cups my Homemade Baking Mix
- 1/3 Cup chopped dried fruit or berries
- 1/3 Cup chopped nuts
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Coating prior to baking
- 1 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with Silpat (or lightly grease). Combined the homemade baking mix, nuts, fruit or berries, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking soda in medium bowl. Add the vanilla, eggs, and 1/3 cup milk until you've achieved a crumbly dough. Knead the dough a few times in the bowl until it forms a ball. Place the dough on the baking sheet and pat into a 6 to 7-inch circle. Cut the circle into wedges. Do not separate. Brush the cut dough with the milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake about 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Removed from the oven and carefully separate. Serve warm with your favorite coffee or tea.
Notes: The dough is initially crumbly. When you knead it a few times, it quickly comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. If you're worried about the Fruit and Nut Scones over browning before they're done, just lay a light sheet of aluminum over the top (do not wrap or seal) the last few minutes of baking.
These are easy and oh so good for an early morning wake me up. I usually serve these with a side of fruit, jam, butter and a nice slice of good cheese or few slices of bacon. You can hardly go wrong these Fruit and Nut Scones. Enjoy.
If you enjoyed this Fruit and Nut Scones recipe, check out some of my other recipes such as the Homemade Baking Mix, Easy Breakfast Coffee Cake & Make Ahead Freezer Biscuits.

Meredith Whitney Still Detests Citi, Tells Muni Haters "Stay Tuned"
If there's anything that Meredith Whitney hates more than municipal bonds, it may be Citigroup.
Well, guess what? Ms. Whitney still doesn't like the House of Pandit. Doesn't matter that the stock has jumped 34% this year (even factoring in today's 3.5% slide). Doesn't matter that it (kinda) passed the Fed's stress test.
Nope. Ms. Whitney, who won acclaim for penning a 2007 report foreshadowing many of Citigroup's recent woes, took to CNBC this afternoonwith this blunt assessment: Citigroup has "no earnings power," "they're just not going to grow," it "hasn't been investable in four years" and — most cryptically — "it's like an old broken-down Victorian house." (MarketBeat's translation: she sees C as a real fixer-upper of a financial institution.)
Asked by Maria Bartiromo what it would take to change her mind on Citigroup, Ms. Whitney offered this choice morsel: "A new brain. It's just not going to happen in my lifetime." (MarketBeat's best guess: she means she would need to undergo a brain transplant to take a favorable view on Citi.)
On the sunnier side of the ledger, she likes Bank of America, arguing that it remains "oversold" in spite of a nearly 50% run-up this year. "With an eight handle on the stock, it still has upside," she argues.
Oh, and for you skeptics still railing on her for dire prediction on municipal bonds? Don't think she's backing down. Instead, Ms. Whitney is rolling forward with a new book on the topic, so brace yourself. She says that state governments are doing whatever they can — including stooping to unseemly backroom political maneuvers — in an attempt to keep America's cities from going bust.
"There's been every effort on the part of the states to stop this tidal wave of defaults," she says, drawing parallels with Greece's is-it-a-default-or-not-a-default scenario. But Armageddon is "going to happen sooner or later," she warned. "If people want to tell me I'm wrong, well, stay tuned."

The Good: Requires some mods, stock it's very heavy, but under the heavy parts it's very nice, with a little work will serve you well. Please read overall review.
The Bad: Seat is absolute garbage, discard immediately. Stock pedals weighed a ton. Brakes were bulky and also weighed a ton. I ride brakeless so problem solved. Brake pads made of Plastic?!
Overall: When I got the bike I assembled it stock to see how it felt. The answer, garbage. Weighs a ton. The stock pivotal seat is the flimsiest thing I've ever seen, a lawsuit waiting to happen, threw it out. Replace seat, check. Stock pedals were by far the heaviest pedals I've ever seen, they weren't the normal pedals that DK sends stock, so I replaced them with actual DK stock pedals, which are actually very light. Perfect. Now the brakes are the shoddiest things I think I've ever seen, Brake arms weighed a ton and the brake pads appear to be made of plastic. Not rubber or silicone, hard plastic. I ride brakeless so off they go, removed the gyro and stripped off the stickers and the end result is stunning. This bike stock weighs a ton, but strip it down a bit like I described and it's actually a very light, very attractive bike. It's lighter than my street bike! Looks better too. Geometry feels good, haven't gotten a chance to testride it yet. Moral of the story; don't judge a book by it's cover. Under the heavy components it's actually a great bike. Oh, and pegs are very very light and seem well suited for flatland.

All | Collapse All
In this Poopdeck
Many of you have been sending us your plans for this year's celebration
of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and thank you all. You can read
about all the upcoming events at:
Keep sending 'em in and the Web Wench will get them posted online as
fast as she can – just keep in mind that she's an unpaid volunteer
and has a life and a job and stuff.
Now, a note from the Web Wench, Jezebel:
By popular demand (well, one of you asked really politely, but "demand"
sounds more piratey), we now offer RSS feeds for two of our most popular
features. Bring the Poopdeck and our Ask Cap'n Slappy advice column to
your desktop as they're updated by pointing your news aggregator to:
Ask Capn Slappy - http://feeds.feedburner.com/InternationalTalkLikeAPirateDay-
The Poopdeck - http://feeds.feedburner.com/InternationalTalkLikeAPirateDay-
If, like Ol' Chumbucket, ye don't know what we're talkin' about, read
up on RSS feeds here:
and find yerself a feed reader here
We have added some MP3 Ring Tones for Talk Like a Pirate Day. Please
note we didn't say they were good, just free, but they should work. If
you desperately want to hear Cap'n Slappy and meself shouting at you to
answer the phone, go to:
... in addition, there's this:
For some of you out there, this will be the most exciting thing offered
on our site – a piratey handbag ye can knit yerself!
No matter what the ad SEEMS to be saying, the Sept. 18 episode of Wench
Swap on ABC featuring Mad Sally, Ol' Chumbucket and Cap'n Slappy is one-hour.
The ad says "the two-hour season premiere of Wife Swap," and
that's true as far as it goes. But it's two one-hour episodes, one of
which features pirates, not one two-hour show.
I know how shocking that is – a reality show that's misleading:?
Gasp! What is the world coming to? So you can kind of use that to gauge
if you want to how real anything you see on the show is.
It's been suggested that our episode will be the second to air, but we
don't know for sure.
Filming the Wench Swap episode chewed a big hole in the middle of our
summer (hell, in the middle of our lives!) so we haven't gotten out much
to make a lot of appearances. But we haven't been completely idle.
Speaking of idle, a word that sounds just like Idol, we've been running
the Buccaneer Bachelor contest all summer and you don't want to miss the
fun as Slappy narrows down the field of four remaining lasses to find
the perfect pirate wench. Follow the action at http://talklikeapirate.com/contest.html.
Slappy and I have also been hard at work on a couple of writing projects
which our agent is now shopping to publishers. The first is a sequel to
"Pirattitude!," which as we've mentioned is in its sixth printing.
The other is the first in a projected three-book pirate adventure for
young adults. We're very excited about that one (in no small part because
our agent thinks it's very good, and we like hearing that.) And we've
got other projects in the works as well. More on them as they develop.
Believe it or not, there's also talk of a stage musical. No, not "The
Pirate Queen," the musical which opens in Chicago this fall about
the life of Grace O'Malley. We actually had a meeting with a composer
and lyricist about "Pirattitude! The Musical," turning our book
into a stage musical! Nothing to report yet, but we've put together an
outline for the play, so we'll see if anything comes of that.
And Slappy and I have put together an ABC book for the young'uns as well.
jonathan, a wonderfully talented young friend of ours, is finishing up
the illustrations and it'll be available (online only) before Christmas
for gifts to the wee ones – if you don't mind yer wee ones being
corrupted by some really obnoxious pirates.
Now that the holiday is fast approaching, our lives are filling up with
the usual round of radio, TV and newspaper interviews. And Mad Sally has
gone YouTube mad and has posted a slew of piratey videos on that Web site.
Check 'em out through the link on our
home page.
Finally (for now) we want to say thank you to people for their support
and help in the Wench Swap adventure. We couldn't have done it without
our friends, both here in town and in the pirate community. Special thanks
for service above and beyond the call to:
– Shayna of www.dresslikeapirate.com,
who helped make sure Mad Sally had a pirate wardrobe that would last the
full week she was in charge.
– Robert Ramstead of the Pirates Plunder Mall in Newport, Oregon
– www.piratesplundermall.com,
not to be confused with the store Pirates Plunder in Seattle, also friends
of ours – for helping set up the decor for the pirate party we held
as part of the show.
– Our friends, the band 49 Fingers – http://www.49fingers.com/
– for their wonderful, live original music played loud enough
to get the police to stop by the house – twice! You should definitely
buy their album! The band's album, that is, not the police.
– Books Without Borders – http://bwobatthestrand.com/
– for hosting a book event for "Pirattitude!" that we
pressed the swapped wench into service for. It's a great place to browse
for books if you're ever in downtown Eugene, Or.
– Ardie Flynn of Flappin' Flags – www.flappinflags.com
– for providing a Jolly Roger to present to the swapped family to
recognize their new-found pirattitude.
– Pyrate Leatherworx – www.pyrate.org
– for supplying Cap'n Slappy's amazing new pirate chapeau, which
arrived just in time for his closeup.
– Captain Stormfeather, our sword-fightin' friends Mike and Russ,
our dog Shiloh and a few fleas (let's just say they represented) and our
neighbors and all our friends from Albany (Or.) Civic Theater who swelled
the crowd.
Whether any of their contributions make the final cut of the show is
immaterial. We needed help, and these people and many more came out and
gave us just that. For which we thank them.
Thanks, and thank to all of you for spreadin' the word – and the
word is Aarrr!!
-- Ol' Chumbucket

seeing that we are twins and we both are over 50, should I be worried about me?READ MORE
Hi Don,
If you are over 50, you should already be seeing a urologist for all the normal tests (colonoscopy, prostate checks, etc) and your doctor should know whether this is something you should have checked. It might not be a bad idea to speak to your doctor about it and possibly have a PSA test.
You can read about PSA test numbers, what they mean and how they affect the diagnosis of prostate issues in this section located here. Dr Marc Greenstein wrote an article about PSA Velocity and what it means when PSA numbers rise quickly. You can read that article here. In the article, Dr Greenstein talks about a patient who asks a similar question to yours. Dr Greenstein has some good advice.
Remember, online sites are wonderful resources for information to help you ask all the right questions of your doctor, however they can not take the place of your doctor's solid medical care and advice.
Take care and stay in touch, let us know how you and your brother are doing!
Vicki M
Prior to panicing, it is important to determine the significane of the PSA elevation. If it is just as a result of inflammation, than there is no need to worry. However if your twin does have prostate cancer it should be more concerning for you as prosate cancer does have familial trends.

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico (AP) -- Tropical Storm Julio bore down on the resort-dotted tip of the Baja California peninsula on Sunday, prompting more than 2,500 families who live along river beds to evacuate.
Strong winds and sporadic rains buffeted the southern peninsula as police and emergency workers toured neighborhoods in Cabo San Lucas to evacuate families who live in homes of wood and corrugated roofs. They were taken to shelters around the town.
"We're expecting the worst of the tropical storm this afternoon," said Ernesto Ibarra, a municipal delegate.
The possibility of 3 to 6 inches of rain in the normally parched peninsula raised fears of flash flooding.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Julio was not expected to become a hurricane and could weaken before making landfall.
Most vacationers rode out the bad weather inside their hotel rooms, but some ventured out on shopping trips and excursions during a respite in rains around midday.
"They're very calm," said Jorge Castro, front desk manager at the hillside Hotel Finiterra. The 224 guests were warned to stay away from the ocean, but none made plans to leave early.
"They can see it's not a huge problem. Some have even gone out on activities, on tours, or sand biking," Castro added.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph Sunday and was centered about 20 miles (35 kilometers) south of the resorts at Cabo San Lucas. Tropical storm force winds extended 85 miles from the storm center.
The Mexican government issued a tropical storm warning from Punta Abreojos on the West Coast of the peninsula around the southern tip and up to Mulege on the East Coast.
Julio was moving north-northwest at 13 mph.

Throughout the year, I've strived to buy less and make more (and learned a TON along the way). This started in the late spring with my first-ever herb and vegetable garden on my balcony, and has grown into a full-on love affair with cooking and baking for all occasions – using quality, local, and healthful ingredients wherever possible. So many people don't cook or bake and the delight they have in getting something homemade makes me feel so wonderful.
It's no surprise then that I would decide to give baked goods as holiday gifts to all my friends this year. I found some yummy cookie recipes to try, and got little treat boxes and tins to package the finished products. The results were delicious, low-cost, homemade, and so much fun to make!
I started by selecting a variety of recipes and narrowing it down to three kinds of cookies and one candy that were all different in flavor and texture:
Lemon crinkle cookies
Peppermint sugar cookies
Nutella sea salt cookies
I had to restrain myself – I could have easily made 8-10 varieties because there were so many that sounded good.
As usual, I used unbleached flour and added as much whole wheat flour as I could, and used brown sugar over white sugar wherever possible. Small things, but every little bit helps!
Lemon crinkle cookies cool on the table:
Lemon, peppermint, and nutella sea salt cookies – almost ready to be packaged!
In all, I made about 150 cookies and 150 buckeyes. I was able to then give about 20 treats to each of 15 friends. And because I gave them early in the season they have time to reuse the treat boxes and tins for their own holiday treats and gifts. Win win!
What are you doing this year to support local/not support big business, avoid material things, and be more creative/have fun with gift-giving?

HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablets
Serious Fluid and Serum Chemistry Abnormalities
Advise all patients to hydrate adequately before, during, and after the use of HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit. If a patient develops significant vomiting or signs of dehydration after taking HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit, consider performing post-colonoscopy lab tests (electrolytes, creatinine, and BUN). Fluid and electrolyte disturbances can lead to serious adverse events including cardiac arrhythmias, seizures and renal impairment.
Patients with electrolyte abnormalities should have them corrected before treatment with HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit. In addition, use caution when prescribing HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit for patients with conditions, or who are using medications, that increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte disturbances or may increase the risk of adverse events of seizure, arrhythmias, and renal impairment. [see DRUG INTERACTIONS]
There have been reports of generalized tonic-clonic seizures with the use of large volume (4 liter) PEG-based colon preparation products in patients with no prior history of seizures. The seizure cases were associated with electrolyte abnormalities (e.g., hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia) and low serum osmolality. The neurologic abnormalities resolved with correction of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities.
Use caution when prescribing the HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit for patients with a history of seizures and in patients at risk of seizure, such as patients taking medications that lower the seizure threshold (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants), patients withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, patients with known or suspected hyponatremia, or patients using concomitant medications (such as diuretics) that increase the risk of electrolyte abnormalities. Monitor baseline and post-colonoscopy laboratory tests (sodium, potassium, calcium, creatinine, and BUN) in these patients.
Renal Impairment
Patients with impaired water handling who experience severe vomiting should be closely monitored including measurement of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, BUN and creatinine). Use caution when prescribing HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit for patients with impaired renal function or patients taking concomitant medications that may affect renal function (such as diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Advise these patients of the importance of adequate hydration and consider performing baseline and post-colonoscopy laboratory tests (electrolytes, creatinine, and BUN) in these patients.
Cardiac Arrhythmias
There have been rare reports of serious arrhythmias associated with the use of ionic osmotic laxative products for bowel preparation. Use caution when prescribing HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit for patients at increased risk of arrhythmias (e.g. patients with a history of prolonged QT, uncontrolled arrhythmias, recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy). Pre-dose and post-colonoscopy ECGs should be considered in patients at increased risk of serious cardiac arrhythmias.
Ischemic Colitis
There have been reports of ischemic colitis in patients with use of HalfLytely and 20 mg Bisacodyl Tablets Bowel Prep Kit and HalfLytely and 10 mg Bisacodyl Tablets Bowel Prep Kit. If patients develop severe abdominal pain or rectal bleeding, patients should be evaluated as soon as possible.
Patients with Significant Gastrointestinal Disease
If gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation is suspected, perform appropriate diagnostic studies to rule out these conditions before administering HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit.
Use with caution in patients with severe active ulcerative colitis.
Use with caution in patients with impaired gag reflex and patients prone to regurgitation or aspiration. Such patients should be observed during administration of the HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Bowel Prep Kit solution.
Patient Counseling Information
See Medication Guide
- Ask patients to let you know if they have trouble swallowing or are prone to regurgitation or aspiration.
- Tell patients not to take other laxatives while they are taking HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep Kit.
- Tell patients that if they experience severe bloating, distention or abdominal pain, the administration of the solution should be slowed or temporarily discontinued until the symptoms abate. Advise patients to report these events to their health care provider.
- Advise patients that if they have hives, rashes, or any allergic reaction, they should discontinue the medication and contact their health care provider. Medication should be discontinued until they speak to their physician.
- Instruct patients to contact their healthcare provider if they develop signs and symptoms of dehydration. [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Inform patients that oral medication administered within one hour of the start of administration of HalfLytely solution may be flushed from the GI tract and the medication may not be absorbed completely.

Green qualifies for NCAA Championships
Nov. 12, 2011
Men's Results | Women's Results
Buffalo, N.Y. - Senior Hayley Green (Wellington, New Zealand) qualified for the NCAA Championships after a fourth-place finish at the Northeast Regional on Saturday.
Green placed fourth in a time of 20:42.5 in the 6K race. "Hayley had a great run," head coach Andy Ronan said. "She will head to the National Championships, where she'll have a goal of earning All-American."
The women's team finished ninth out of 40 teams. "We're disappointed with the team finish," Ronan said. Our goal was top five, but it's the fifth year in a row that we finished in the top 10 at the regional championships."
Senior Patricia Barry (Tipperary, Ireland) took 23rd (21:27.1), junior Annie Keown (Auckland, New Zealand) finished 40th (21:49.5) and sophomore Olivia Burne (Palmerston North, New Zealand) placed 44th (21:55.1) to pace the women's squad.
Sophomore Eric Speakman (Napier, New Zealand) continued his strong season, finishing 25th (32:13.2). "Eric had a real nice run today," Ronan said. "He gained some valuable experience going forward."
The men's team finished 24th out of 39 teams in windy conditions.
Speakman and Barry earned All-Region honors with their respective finishes.
The NCAA Championships will be held on Monday, November 21 on the campus of Indiana State University.

The Board of Selectmen on Feb. 10 approved providing written assurance to the York Sewer District that proposed sewer extensions from 42 to 50 Main Street are consistent with town plans and ordinances regarding land use.
Some residents of Main Street have requested a sewer extension, starting at 42 Main Street and ending at 50 Main St., a length of about 300 feet, according to a Feb. 5 memo from Town Planner Christine Grimando.
The addresses to be served include 47, 49 and 51 Main St., and 50, 48, 46 and 44 Main St., and also 11 Cappys Lane.
The latter is the York Beach Campground, which has not requested sewer service.
The York Sewer District has determined the line extension would not have enough capacity to serve the entire campground, Grimando said in the memo. It is included in the event the campground expresses an interest in getting public sewer in the future, she said.
The properties affected by the extension request are in a Comprehensive Plan priority service area, according to Grimando, who said she would soon be meeting with York Sewer District Superintendent Tim Haskell.

It's the Monday after Spring Break, but campus is warm and beautiful and it's good to be back. I'm in my room in Anderson right now, and outside next year's Sustainability Stewards are getting the garden ready for planting. But even though I'm happy to be back on a green campus and there's a stack of reading with my name on it, I want to take one last look back at Spring Break. Here's what I occupied my week with:
For my final spring break of my undergraduate career, I was fortunate enough to be able to go to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park with The College of Idaho Outdoor Program.
I love spending time in the outdoors and being able to get away from college and the constant stress of senior year. Zion was a great escape to say the least. It was amazingly beautiful, with all kinds of rock formations, arches and testing hikes.
New York City is without a doubt the largest city I've ever set foot in--likely the largest city I ever will step foot in. The name alone should be enough of a clue to how massive this place is: New York, New York. The city that never sleeps. A city so huge, they had to name it twice. From the moment we were bused from LaGuardia Airport to our hotel on 57th and 7th, everything was just so much bigger than Idaho. Bigger crowds. Much taller buildings. More activity.
After a week of slogging through midterms, it's spring break and I'm back at home in Boise to spend the week with my furry friends. The crazy thing about spring break is that it means six weeks have already gone by, and there's only six left before the summer. That's a little too fast for my taste.
Unicorns love compliments too.
You are exactly the person I hoped would read this, because I know that you have a fantastic repertoire of dance moves. And are a great listener with an even better sense of humor. Plus your hair looks fantastic today.
Even if those compliments seem generic, they are true, and hopefully they reminded you that you love compliments. Everyone does.
I may be 20 years old, but apparently that doesn't mean that I can't jump on trampolines. And on Saturday, a group of other similarly aged C of I students and I proved that being legal adults doesn't have to be a barrier to trampoline-fun. As part of our Student Ambassador retreat, we went to JumpTime, which is essentially a building full of giant trampolines and little kid birthday parties.
So yesterday was every mathematician's favorite date: March 14th. To all my fellow non-math majors out there who might be confused as to the significance of this date, March 14th can be written as 3/14. This looks a lot like 3.14, which is about as many digits of Pi that most people remember. And if there's one thing that the students at Boone Hall hold close to their hearts, it's Pi. What better way to celebrate everyone's favorite irrational constant than to pig out on a food that's just a letter away?
I spent this last weekend in Tacoma, for my first collegiate track meet. For everyone who will never have the opportunity to experience a team road trip as a Yote, this is basically how it works for the track team:
1. Wake up early on Friday morning, get on the bus. If you are me, you will think about how important it is to not sleep through your alarm, so that you have a dream about sleeping through your alarm, so that when it happens in real life you think it's just another dream, and then actually wake up 5 minutes before the bus leaves.
The sun is coming out, coats are coming off and daylight savings has kicked in. You know what this means? It means that spring in almost upon us.
From looking at the weather this week, it would seem to be approaching at a rapid rate and I am so very glad. I love warm weather, I love the feeling of the sun on my back and I love to see the world around me come into bloom.
This morning, I woke up and realized I'd lost an hour of my life. Not in the sense that I'd wasted a precious hour sleeping in when I should have been out seizing the day, but because today is the unkind part of daylight savings time. I'm happy enough to have my phone set itself an hour back in the fall, but it's hard to give up that hour in the spring. Mostly because it's just about three o'clock in the afternoon and I've still got an essay to write, an essay to revise, a case study to read, and some French to knock out.

BEAUMONT, Texas — A Nederland, Texas, man pleaded guilty Tuesday to possessing child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales, Eastern District of Texas. The investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Donovan Ray Kendrick, 39, pleaded guilty at a June 12 hearing before U.S. District Judge Thad Heartfield. According to court information, in December 2010, local and federal investigators executed a search warrant at Kendrick's home in Jefferson County. A forensic examination was conducted on a computer seized at the residence revealing eight images of child pornography. One of the child pornography images depicted a child under the age of 12.
Kendrick faces a term of imprisonment of not more than 10 years, a fine not to exceed $250,000.00, or both, and a term of supervised release of not less than five years or up to life. A sentencing hearing has not been scheduled.
The following agencies assisted in the HSI-led investigation: U.S. Marshals Service, Orange County Sheriff's Office, and Jefferson County District Attorneys' Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Tortorice, Eastern District of Texas, prosecuted the case.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers. HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

Windhoek — Prime Minister Hage Geingob has called on the nation to remain calm following the deadly shooting of a demonstrating 'struggle kid' near the Swapo Party headquarters yesterday.
Geingob described the killing as "tragic and regrettable", but said the incident must help bring Namibians closer to one another to confront challenges facing the nation.
The prime minister delivered a speech in parliament yesterday in which he urged the demonstrating group to return to their base.
He warned that anarchy would not be tolerated in the country, alleging that the group was being used by certain individuals for political reasons.
The protracted row between the police and the 'struggle kids' led to the death of a 26-year-old female, after she was reportedly shot by the police during a peaceful demonstration that degenerated into a riot and the stoning of police.
The fatal shooting occurred between 09h00 and 10h00 yesterday in Claudius Kandovazu Street in Katutura outside the Swapo Party head offices.
The deceased, whose parents died during Namibia's liberation struggle in Angola, originates from Olukula-Okongo in Ohangwena Region and she arrived in the capital in 2013 to join other 'struggle kids' in their demands for jobs from government.
The victim whose next of kin were notified about her death was identified as Frieda Ndatipo who was apparently the sole breadwinner of her family since both her parents died in exile.
Police and Swapo Party sources claim some of the demonstrators were in possession of firearms, subsequently posing a threat to the lives of police officers on the scene, which triggered the fatal shooting. Police are saying the lives of their members dispatched to quell the confrontations targeting Swapo Party were endangered when some of the group reportedly fired the first shots at the police, injuring two officers, while another four were apparently hit by stones hurled by the demonstrators.
The 'struggle kids' denied allegations that they had firearms in their possession.
Sources said the police used lethal force after the deceased reportedly attacked one of the officers and ignored warning shots, thereby endangering the officer's life.
Police insist the victim died when they retaliated after enduring some gunfire from the group.
The 'struggle kids' who survived yesterday's alleged exchange of gunfire told New Era they went to the ruling party's headquarters to follow up on promises allegedly made by Swapo that they would be provided with jobs.
"We came here to see [Secretary General Nangolo] Mbumba but we could not do so because of the police," a group member said.
"We were unarmed and the police even conducted body searches when we came but they did not find any weapons, so they are lying by saying that some of us had guns. They just want to cover their tracks."
The group sang revolutionary songs while others cried over the body of their fallen colleague.
They also requested that the officer who killed the deceased be charged for murder.
Khomas Regional Crime Investigations Coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Sylvanus Nghishidimbwa tried in vain to calm the group by talking to them and trying to convince them to vacate the scene while the police conducted their investigations.
"What happened here today was not planned, the police did not plan to kill anyone, therefore I am urging you to go back to your base while we do our work and see the way forward," he said.
"Just yesterday [Tuesday] we celebrated Heroes Day and now you are killing the very same children of the heroes you remembered. What was the use of Heroes Day then?" shouted one of the group while Nghishidimbwa addressed them.
Commenting on the incident, in the National Assembly yesterday afternoon, Geingob said: "This is a highly tragic and regrettable event which should not tear us apart but draw us closer where we can hold hands and listen to one another.
"There are those who have seized the opportunity and manipulated the frail psyches of the group in order to instigate sinister plots and embarrass government."
He added: "Using strategies such as the one which occurred today for the advancement of election campaigns is not going to make government acquiesce to demands."
Government cannot compromise the protection of private property and maintenance of peace, he said.
"We cannot allow Namibia to become a state which is plunged into anarchy."
Geingob said that his office has written letters to ministries such as defence, safety and security and youth to look at making budgetary provisions for the recruitment of some of these youths.
The recruitment would take place on the basis of availability of money and on the general principle in the police and army where potential recruits undergo necessary testing, the PM said.
"I therefore once again appeal to these youths to go back home as government is seized with the matter of solving their problems."
NamRights Executive Director Phil ya Nangoloh yesterday condemned the fatal incident.
"We strongly condemn the brutal murder this morning of a 26-year-old female member of the Children of the Liberation Struggle pressure group," stated ya Nangoloh.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: buckworks
my wife & i live in the uk & operate a online shop.
we accept c/cards both online & off.
last oct an order for around Ł100 was successfully processed via the shops checkout & payment confirmed by the gateway.
about 6 weeks passed & we received a chargeback notification from our gateway saying the the cardholder did not recognise the p/ment.
we contacted the person by phone & they admit to receiving the goods (& signed for at the card address).
however they won't confirm this by letter or email.
after supplying order & mail trace details to our gateway service the chargeback was given in favour of the cardholder.
has anyone any experience of this?
also any suggestions as to how we could get our money or the products from this person?
there is no dispute about the quality of the goods etc.
many thanks.

If he does not pay at that point, you can then threaten further action. If he still does not pay, you will have to judge whether it is worth your while to pursue.
Howevee if the customer is overseas, then there is nothing much you can do about it.

You can certainly ask for permission and then tape him. Of course, if he refuses to write a letter, it's unlikely that his story will be the same if he knows he's being taped.
Send a certified letter with a bill for the full amount, plus the chargeback fee. Write on the bill that it is due in full within 30 days. After that time, you will be charging interest on any unpaid amount (1.5%/month is about the norm). Also specify that any accounts still unpaid after 6 months will be turned over to a collection agency and reported to the credit reporting agencies.
In reality, to follow-up sounds like a lot more hassle than the original amount (which the guy is probably counting on). I'm not even sure that it will be easy to find a collection agency that will bother for such a small amount. But the threat of dinging the guy's credit score may be enough for him to pay up. HE may even decide that it's not worth the hassle of trying to clean up the credit mess if it gets on his record.
write him a letter (snail mail one) that you will sanil mail all his neighbours and employer about him.
yet again stupidity reigns supreme .........
that's the kind of action that can land a merchant in court
where the hell is the common sense in this forum?
methods and procedures for debt recovery have existed for many many years - they are tried and tested - they work - use them - and use a bit of *@#!%$* common sense - anyone without the common sense to run a business professionally simply shouldn't be in business .......
If you are going spend all this time and energy on chasing a small debt like this, you won't have much time to run your business.
Railman, going to court over a GBP100 debt is not common sense either. Think of the hours and also the expenses you would have to put in. Even if you make a claim for these in your lawsuit, there is no guarrantee that you will be awarded costs.
If you are going spend all this time and energy on chasing a small debt like this, you won't have much time to run your business.
of course it requires common sense to decide whether to pursue a debt or write it off, but my point was that slagging off a dodgy customer to friends / neighbours etc is wrong, bad, and can get the merchant into serious trouble
there is a serious lack of common sense in this forum ....
yet again stupidity reigns supreme .........
that's the kind of action that can land a merchant in court
Well, RailMan, the thing is to get the money back, right?
You do not even need to do that as they will contact you and pay immediately. That is what happened to us once we have asked the person whether we shall think of such solutions.
The situation we are talking about is a regular theft. I see no reason why one shall not inform the thief about the various actions that can be taken. No matter how stupid they are.
Thief is a thief and requires proper treatment. They must not even think that buying a product from a company overseas allows them to do things like that.
It is enough that Nigerian scammers attack in masses.
I am personally not interested in such situations to happen. Are you?
Failure to pay involves the small claim court. We pay the Ł30 (or whatever it is nowadays) and they pay that Ł30 if they lose the case. This is done by post, so it is highly unlikely that they or you will ever visit a courtroom.
You will need evidence that they placed the order, that the order went out and ideally, that they signed for the items.
We are also flexible in that we allow the customer to return the goods to us to cancel the payment - as long as they are in resalable condition and were not specially ordered items.
Tried a few times - never failed. Although I have read that taking a customer to court over a chargeback can get you into trouble with the credit card companies. However, it legally remains an unpaid bill - same as a bounced cheque.
Well, RailMan, the thing is to get the money back, right?
yes, but doing so in a proper manner without the risk of ending up in court on a libel / slander charge
what do you do if your letters to neighbours don't work? send the boys round to give the "customer" a good slap?
The situation we are talking about is a regular theft.
Thief is a thief and requires proper treatment.
like cut off his hands?
people like you shouldn't be in business ... you give the rest of us a bad name ...
spend 2 minutes of your time to think about this .... and the fact that your idiotic, irresponsible advice might be read and followed by others ..... they could easily end up in court due to you ....
PCInk is doing things the right way - try and follow his example ...........
I disagree that this is only a simple matter of refusing to pay a debt. The credit card company should be required to have a written affidavit from the customer if <b>they</b> are going to take the money away from the vendor.
Either the customer used or authorized the use of his card or he did not. If not then there should be at least a sworn claim of credit card fraud.
Would the cc company do a chargeback to Ruth's Chris Steak House if the customer said I don't remember that second bottle of $200.00 wine? Please.
This situation and many like it beg for a more equitable solution.
But don't hold your breath.
