After a beautiful week in Madeira, I was excited to meet the families of the four guys left on The Bachelorette. This week would be pivotal in helping me discern my feelings for each guy. It felt so refreshing to be back in the States, and I couldn't wait to see what the men had in store.
Zak always has a surprise for me – I love that about him – so I had no idea what to expect for our date. I knew that his family business was in sno-cones but I did not expect to make them for a classroom of kindergarteners. It was so much fun trying all the unique flavors and it brought me back to my childhood. Zak was amazing with all the children and that showed the kind of father he would be – funny yet caring.
He tried to explain each family member to me the best he could, so that made me feel right at home. Their energy was out of this world and the entire house was filled with joy. I was nervous at first to talk with his protective sister, but her sweet personality put me at ease. I didn't necessarily have any weighing concerns about Zak that I needed answers about – but I needed to see if my feelings were matching up to his. It was such a kind gesture for Zak to give me a ring to show me what he was hopeful for in our relationship and tell me that he loves me. But at that same moment I realized that maybe I wasn't there with him yet – and that broke my heart.
Drew's FamilySince Drew tended to be more reserved and serious, I hoped his family would bring out a different side to him. Going with him to pick up his sister Melissa is a moment I will never forget. She was so excited to see Drew and I could see the love that they had for each other. The care he took with her showed me how he would take care of his own family one day.
I was really looking forward to meeting Drew's father, Mal. After my conversation with him, I could see why he's Drew's hero. Mal was so kind-hearted, yet strong, and it was such a pleasure to meet him and get his blessing. His entire family was so loving and kind – the type of family you want to be around. Also Drew lit up around his family. I could see a more comfortable and charismatic side to him that I had been looking for. And the steamy kiss he laid on me as I left was quite memorable too!
Chris's FamilyI was thrilled to meet Chris's family in Oregon. One of the qualities I love about Chris is his athleticism, so it was nice to share in his passion for baseball and see where he played as a kid. I enjoyed showing off my baseball skills and hopefully impressed him. Spending the day with Chris in his hometown felt effortless and I could picture what a life together would be like.
I always have an amazing time with Chris and our relationship has progressed in such a wonderful way but I needed his family's blessing. I knew he was ready for a commitment but I needed to see if our lives meshed well together. I enjoyed talking with his mother and I could tell she only wants what is best for her son. That was endearing and I was glad that his family gave us their blessings. It felt great to know where my relationship stood with Chris and that made me hopeful for the rest of the journey.
Brooks's FamilyIt seemed like forever since I last saw Brooks in Madeira, so I couldn't wait to see him and meet his large family. I am always very comfortable with Brooks and love how engaging he is in conversation, so our time in the park brought me right back to where we left off. Since his confidence throughout this journey has waivered, I shared a list of our best memories to reassure him of my strong feelings for him. It worried me that he still needed reassurance, so I did have questions for his family to see if he is ready for a committed relationship.
Meeting a family that included nine siblings and their partners along with his mother, I was prepared for anything. His mother and siblings told me that Brooks is ready for a committed relationship once he meets the right girl and that he would be the best partner to have in life. After a great day, I felt confident in my relationship with Brooks and couldn't wait to see him again.
Sending Zak HomeSending Zak home was difficult because he is such a great guy. He will make some woman very happy one day – and will certainly keep her laughing through life.
The relationships are now at a make-it-or-break-it stage and I can see my life with any of the three men left. After that hometown rose ceremony, I was 100 percent officially in love and feeling good.
Breaking News!Stay tuned for next week's episode, The Men Tell All, as I re-live the ups and downs from the previous dates, and come face to face with the men I sent home. I have no idea what to expect, but I do know that I have a few choice words for a few of the guys, especially because I was able to get some advice from former Bachelorettes Ali Fedotowsky, Ashley Hebert and Emily Maynard on just how to deal with some of my bad boys. This should be interesting!
BREAKING NEWS: I just learned that Brian is too scared to show his face at The Men Tell All, but that is probably for the better. I definitely don't want to waste any time on a guy who showed up with a girlfriend. That is not the type of guy I was ever looking for, nor is he someone that any self-respecting woman in America should be with. I hope you don't get your heart broken by that jerk, Stephanie!
Thanks for watching the show and reading my Bachelorette blog!

(See Andy's solution in the Comments suggesting 'Try 18.104.22.168 instead of smtp.orangehome.co.uk'. I have tested this and it works.)
Before saying anything else, avoid Orange Home Broadband service like the plague if you use either Microsoft Outlook or Windows Vista.
Having spent the last 3 hours on the phone with OrangeHome (0870 010 2462), with 5 different Technical representatives, 1 hour with my techie (Web Host) and untold combinations in the effort to get my mail to send from Outlook on the Windows Vista platform, I have finally given up. It seems to be a lost cause.
Not only is my outgoing mail being blocked at Orange (built on Wanadoo), but they insist that the problem lies with everyone else. Interesting seeing as my set-up was working absolutely fine on Outlook from my laptop running XP (Service Pack 2) until I switched to Orange Broadband – 'Unlimited' (yes, you may now laugh. I am.)
So, No mail from either my Vista Desktop or my XP laptop; in fact the only way that I can send any mail at all is using WebMail or the mail account provided to me by OrangeHome. It would only be fair to say that the e-mail account Orange provied me with will send mail from Outlook Express though. Unfortunately the only way that I can send e-mail through my 12 other accounts is now via a web browser at my host's WebMail service.
It goes without saying that I will be switching ASAP.
Be warned, Orange Broadband, 'unlimited' has provided in my opinion, not only the worst internet service ever in the UK, but also the worst customer service I have ever experienced.
ClaraNet, here I come ;)
I urge everyone to write to the Orange CEO at the following email address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Also, if you are lucky enough to have a flexible email service provider (ie you have your own website domain and are hosting a website with a company) you may be able to get the mail through using another SMTP port such as 587 (as opposed to the standard port 25) as it is port 25 that Orangehome blocks.

Chase Jones has a little gumption to pull this off.
The self-declared master of pregame music for the North Carolina Tar Heels' baseball team routinely flips on the selections as the teams move through infield drills — Tom Petty, Pat Green, even a little Taylor Swift and Usher.
But then it's time for a little needling.
"I put some normal songs on, and then there will be a five-song stretch of Springsteen songs, " said Jones, the Tar Heels' bullpen catcher/student manager. "Whether they like it or not, they are going to listen to it."
Why a popular 22-year-old would play music by the 1980s icon — not exactly the stuff young kids are rocking out to these days — is telling.
Blame it on Uncle Rick — better known in these parts as Tulane baseball coach Rick Jones, a dedicated Springsteen disciple who turned Chase on to the Boss' light.
"I'm not a big Bruce Springsteen fan, " Chase's dad and Rick's brother, Buddy, said. "Uncle Rick got him hooked on that."
For as close as Buddy and his son are, Rick has a unique father-like bond with his nephew, too. And on this day when fathers are appreciated, Uncle Rick will muse about Chase, and vice versa.
Rick Jones has no children but considers his nephew as his own. They share a love of Bruce Springsteen, history, politics, fine food, and of course, baseball.
Chase has spent most of his summers toiling in Rick Jones' baseball camps, earning the limited edition "Most Enduring Camper" trophy and staying extra weeks to soak up time with his uncle. It meant car rides to and from Tulane's campus listening to "Thunder Road" — a Boss classic — and talking baseball.
Chase no longer fits in Rick's arms, yet their relationship has flourished.
'This is not good'
Rick Jones was having a New York minute at Yankee Stadium four years ago. He sat three rows behind the Yankees' dugout taking in the scene of a lifetime. The stadium coursed with that Big Apple energy, and Jones wasn't patrolling the steps in the dugout during a game.
He was watching the Yankees take infield and zeroed in on one particular player, former Tulane shortstop Andy Cannizaro, who had just been called up. Then Jones was frozen by a celebrity sighting.
Was that really Bruce Springsteen just two rows in front of him?
It was.
Jones scrambled for his cell phone to call Chase, knowing his nephew was the one person in the world who could appreciate that moment.
"I said, 'Chase this is one of the greatest days of my life not coaching, ' and he didn't respond really well, and I was like, 'Kid are you OK?'" Rick recalled. "And he said, 'I've haven't been feeling very well. I have headaches, I can't get out of this dark room.' I said, 'Well, get to the infirmary.' Two days later, his dad called and said, 'This is not good.'"
In an emergency room in North Carolina, a scan revealed an inoperable mass in Chase's brain.
The months leading up to that phone call were dark and frightening.
"The headaches were awful in and of themselves, but the worst part about it was I didn't know what was going on, " Chase said. "Being an athlete in high school and just going into your freshman year (of college), you look at your body as your go-to thing, and when it doesn't function and you don't know what's going on, that's what's tough. It wasn't like I broke my arm and here's the game plan on what to do to get back, here's what rehab I need to do. I had no idea what was going on."
Illumination didn't reassure the Jones family. The kid who wrote his own ticket to college based on his intelligence was suddenly held captive by the very organ that got him to that point.
But Chase didn't have a typical reaction.
"I was on my way to the hospital (about an hour away), everything is going through your mind, " Buddy recalled. "I get to the emergency room and it's chaos in there, and I walk right to him. He's always worried about dad and to make sure dad's not stressing about it. And I walk right to him, and the first thing he says, he's looking at me, and he says, 'Dad don't worry. If it's my time to go, you know where I'm going.'"
Crescent City connection
From afar, Rick Jones did what he has done his whole life for his large family. He gave a helping hand.
"Fortunately for me, one of our All-American players here, Mark Hamilton — the Player of the Year in the league here in 2006 — his dad was the head of pathology at MD Anderson (Cancer Center in Houston), " Jones said. "I immediately got him on the phone, explained the situation. He got on the phone with the people at Chapel Hill, and he assured me."
Chase's diagnosis of a germinoma cell brain tumor sounded terrifying. But the slow-growing type of cancer was treatable and had encouraging survival rates. It's the same type of cancer record-setting cyclist Lance Armstrong overcame.
"(Mark's dad Stanley) said, if he's got to have to have cancer, this is the one. We can get this, " Jones said.
Chase dropped out of school to endure three months of intense chemotherapy in North Carolina before traveling to MD Anderson in Houston to receive state-of-the-art proton radiation treatments. The specialized radiation doesn't damage brain tissue and is considered to dramatically reduce reoccurrence rates.
"When he left, they said come see us in 50 years, " Rick Jones said.
It wasn't the first time Rick had gone to his Rolodex for Buddy.
"Rick and I were never close until he majorly helped me get into college, " Buddy said. "I called him and said, 'Listen, I need your help, ' and he got me into UNC (Wilmington) by calling the coach. Ever since then our bond has gotten stronger and stronger. I knew he could help me out. I didn't know if he would help me out, and he did, and it changed my life."
Chase's tumor has since been eradicated. Instead of distancing himself from the most agonizing time in his life, Chase embraces it and uses it to connect people to hope. He works with at least four charities, including raising money for the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago.
"I just considered myself an average kid before I was diagnosed, and I remember Coach Jones telling me that some day people are going to ask you speak and tell them about your story, and at the time I never believed it, " Chase said. "I just thought he was trying to make me feel good. But since then I've had so many speaking engagements, and people have reached out to me and I've told them about my story, and it's given me the opportunity to help others.
"That's what I'm so proud about and why I'm such an advocate about the future. I can take my situation and tell others it's not the end of the world when you do get a cancer diagnosis, however, it does give you the opportunity to reach out to those who do have it and make their lives a little bit better."
Ties that bind
It's hard to understand how a nephew and uncle about 800 miles apart could forge such a tight bond.
But it started with Buddy. Buddy is nearly nine years younger than Rick, 56, and their relationship had more of a father-son than sibling vibe early on. When Rick graduated from college, he went back to his hometown of Bennett, N.C., and taught Buddy's eighth-grade class.
"That was not very enjoyable, him being a teacher of mine, " Buddy said. "It was a lot of pressure."
The awkwardness ran both ways.
"We were sharing the same bedroom, " said Rick, laughing.
The two also played on the same semipro team, an eclectic collection of all ages with the town preacher as the umpire. The games were a centerpiece of life in Jones' rural hometown.
When Buddy became a high school baseball coach, the two brothers became sounding boards for each other on strategy, personnel, and wins and losses. When Chase was born, Rick's closeness with Buddy spread, and Chase followed the two onto the right basepaths.
"When Chase was born, that was the second grandson in the family, but it was my baby brother's boy, " Rick said. "It was very obvious from the onset that he was very bright."
While Buddy is a bit more reserved, Chase exhibited Rick's extroverted traits.
"Chase was born with a good mind, and he can learn really easy, " Rick's mother and Chase's grandmother Lena said. "It bothered me because sometimes (kids) don't relate to their own peers because they are so much smarter than every else. But he was surrounded by friends because of that personality, and Rick has that, too."
Chase and Rick reunited for two months last summer when Rick coached Team USA's collegiate squad and Chase served as bullpen catcher on a whirlwind world tour. The two never let on that they were related until the final day. Rick finished an inspiring team talk by turning to Chase and thanking him for his contributions to the team as a bullpen catcher, and then told him how grateful he was to have him survive cancer to be there.
"It was great, " Chase said. "It was closure. I felt really close to him after that. I can't explain it. It was really good."
Rick and Chase punch out text messages to each other on an almost daily basis, and the activity might increase a bit today.
"I always admire my uncle's opinions in certain situations because he's been there, " Chase said. "He knows so many aspects of college baseball that I'm still learning.
"So everything that I am today, I owe so much to Uncle Rick."

They "are proud of their 20 years together and are very happy with their accomplishments both as parents and as a family," according to the statement Mellencamp's spokesperson Bob Merlis gave The Hollywood Reporter. "They will continue to raise their two children in Indiana but have decided to call it a day as a couple."
The pair met in 1991 when then 23-year-old supermodel Elaine Irwin was hired by photographer Wayne Maser to pose for the cover of Mellencamp's Whenever We Wanted album. The couple were engaged 10 weeks later and wed the following September at Mellencamp's uncle's log cabin in Indiana.
Irwin is Mellencamp's third wife. No reason has been given for the split.

Your Take: The End of Saturday USPS Mail Delivery
|Email Print
The United States Postal Service announced earlier this week that they plan on stopping Saturday mail delivery starting August 1st of this year. The USPS just increased stamp prices earlier this year to the current stamp price of 45 cents for a first class letter. To save money, USPS has often proposed terminating Saturday delivery in the past – the announcement this week is the first time they've actually been able to do it.
This only affects regular mail, the post office will continue to deliver packages on Saturday, just not regular mail. With the USPS hemorrhaging money (that's really the only apt description for what happens when you lose tens of billions of dollars a year… after year after year), this move will save an estimated $2 billion a year.
What do you think? Personally, I'm fine with the end of Saturday delivery. The post office will remain open, packages will still be delivered, and I won't miss getting junk mail on Saturdays. It's not like anything urgent is ever sent by regular USPS mail anyway.
I am sympathetic to those who would lose their jobs as a result of reduced delivery but the USPS lost more than $15 billion dollars last year… something has to give.
What do you think?

Motherhood is Aging MeMolly Thornberg
I am starting to feel the aging process take ahold of me and I am hating it. My sister and I have this conversation often, about how you are only as old as you feel you are.
I know my age. I am 33 years old. While I know that's not OLD – motherhood is aging me.
I have fought the good – but the frown line just won't go away. I notice neck wrinkles (ick). There are stretch marks, cellulite and I am sure if I would let my natural hair color shine through there would be a grey hair or two.
This body has birthed and is raising 4 kids under 9. Maybe it's the lack of sleep, the stress, the constant state of going that has me in this funk. Whatever it is – I am sure that I would of aged if I hadn't had children. But since I have had 4, I might as well use them as my excuse, right? This just seems like a good time to use my "mother of 4" card.
The best I can do is accept this, not let it define me and how I see myself. Time to pull out the mirror and go all Jack Handy repeating lines of encouragement to myself.
"I'm good enough."
"I'm not that old."
"People like me."
For all you 30 somethings, I recently stumbled across this video and it made me smile. Hopefully it will put a smile on your face as well.

People Hot List - Which Stars Have the Most Buzz?
The Hot List shows the most buzzed about celebs of the moment as measured by reader activity on People.com
By age 9, Biel is already a regular on the Boulder, Colo. musical theatre circuit and a seasoned model. After appearing in ad campaigns for the apparel firm Limited Too, she makes her television debut appearance in a Pringles commercial. In 1994, she enters the International Modeling and Talent Association competition in L.A. and wins a scholarship to an acting school, Young Actors Space, where she is discovered by her first manager Jeff Morrone.
After three years of spring trips to L.A. for what is known as "pilot season," the time of year when potential new shows are hiring actors, 14-year-old Biel earns a spot on the Aaron Spelling-produced drama 7th Heaven. She plays Mary Camden, the oldest daughter of a suburban minister's five children.
Biel's first feature film Ulee's Gold puts her toe-to-toe with screen legend Peter Fonda. The film centers on a widowed, reclusive beekeeper (Fonda) taking care of his two young granddaughters, played by Biel and Vanessa Zima. Despite the strong start, Biel auditions, but is not called back, for the role of Jane in American Beauty (a role that went to Thora Birch). Biel later blames the slight on her squeaky-clean image as a preacher's daughter on 7th Heaven.

NORFOLK — The Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) is a local military non-profit organization that focuses a majority of its efforts toward the development of military children and outreach programs that impact many Hampton Roads service members and their families.
This month's focus is on the "Operation Hero Program," which is a 13-week after-school program that targets children ages 6 to 12 who have been identified by school personnel and parents as exhibiting low self esteem, or difficultly adjusting both academically and socially in the school environment.
The ASYMCA works with five local elementary schools and qualified counselors to help children cope with the challenges of military life, provide tools for success in school and to promote a positive self-image, while advancing social and communication skills.

The climate in Washington varies greatly from west to east. A mild oceanic climate (also called "marine west coast climate") predominates in western Washington, and a much drier climate prevails east of the Cascade Range.
Major factors determining Washington's climate include the large semi-permanent high pressure and low pressure systems of the north Pacific Ocean, the continental air masses of North America, and the Olympic and Cascade mountains. In the spring and summer a high pressure anticyclone system dominates the north Pacific Ocean, causing air to spiral out in a clockwise fashion. For Washington this means prevailing winds from the northwest bringing relatively cool air and a predictably dry season. In the autumn and winter, a low pressure cyclone system takes over in the north Pacific Ocean, with air spiraling inward in a counter-clockwise fashion. This causes Washington's prevailing winds to come from the southwest, bringing relatively warm and moist air masses and a predictably wet season. The term Pineapple Express is used to describe the extreme form of this wet season pattern.
The coastal mountains and Cascades compound this climatic pattern by causing orographic lift of the air masses blown inland from the Pacific Ocean, resulting in the windward side of the mountains to receive high levels of precipitation and the leeward side to receive low levels. This occurs most dramatically around the Olympic Mountains and the Cascade Range. In both cases the windward slopes facing southwest receive high precipitation and mild, cool temperatures. In contrast, the leeward slopes facing northeast experience a rain shadow effect, with low precipitation and warmer temperatures. As a result, there are temperate rain forests on the southwest side of the Olympic Mountains while the northeast side has a sub-mediterranean climate. The San Juan Islands and the city of Sequim are known for their dry climate compared to the rest of the coastal region. The Olympic rain shadow extends into Canada. Victoria is known for its mediterranean climate.
The Cascade Range forms a larger barrier than the Olympics and a correspondingly strongly orographic effect. While the Puget Sound lowlands are known for clouds and rain in the winter, the western slopes of the Cascades receive larger amounts of precipitation, often falling as snow at higher elevations. East of the Cascades, a large region experiences strong rain shadow effects. Semi-arid conditions occur in much of eastern Washington with the strongest rain shadow effects at the relatively low elevations of the central Columbia River Plateau especially the region just east of the Columbia River from about the Snake River to the Okanagan Highland. Thus instead of rain forests much of eastern Washington is covered grassland and shrub-steppe.
The average annual temperature ranges from 51° F (10.6° C) on the Pacific coast to 40° F (4.4° C) in the northeast. The recorded temperature in the state has ranged from -48° F (-44.4° C) to 118° F (47.8° C) with both records set east of the Cascades. Western Washington is known for its mild climate, considerable fog, frequent cloud cover and long-lasting drizzles in the winter, and sunny and dry summers. The western region occasionally experiences extreme climate. Arctic cold fronts in the winter and heat waves in the summer are not uncommon. The western side of the Olympic Peninsula receives as much as 160 inches (4064 mm) of precipitation annually, making it the wettest area of the 48 conterminous states. Weeks or even months may pass without a clear day. The western slopes of the Cascade Range receive some of the heaviest annual snowfall (in some places more than 200 inches/5080 mm) in the country. In the rain shadow area east of the Cascades, the annual precipitation is only 6 inches (152 mm). Precipitation increases eastward toward the Rocky Mountains.

I'm very new to home wireless networking, so this question may seem
I have a Wireless Router (Netgear WNDR3300) and I have the activity
log e-mail to me every hour. Every now and again, I'll receive
notification of a block IP address. Most of the time, the IP address
isn't local. In fact, it's not even in my state or country (U.S., New
York). I've received notification of attempted access from China,
Finland, Spain, and Bulgaria.
Any one care to explain how this happens. I do understand that they're
not receiving my wireless signal that far away, so are they just
scanning IP addresses and hitting mine randomly?

Sociology Descriptions
Introduction to Anthropology, LE
The four sub-fields in anthropology are examined. Socio-cultural anthropology studies modern humans; archeology is concerned with human material remains; linguistics looks at human communication; and physical anthropology emphasizes human biology and includes the study of human variation and fossils. Includes lab work.
Special Topics in Anthropology
Illustrates the importance of a holistic, cross-cultural approach to the study of human behavior. Highlights a specific topic and then makes use of all the sub-fields of anthropology in the study of this topic.
Cultural Anthropology, LE
Focuses on the different ways cultures adapt to the conditions of the environment. Examines subsistence strategies, economic and political systems, religious beliefs, and gender distinctions. Some topics include ethnographic field methods, enculturation, cultural relativism, ethnocentrism, ethno- and sociolinguistics, environmental adaptation, and symbols. Includes lab work.
Human Evolution and Archeology
Combines two of the four sub-fields that make up the discipline of anthropology. Its biological component illustrates that humankind cannot be adequately understood without taking into account the biological basis of behavior. Combined with archeology, or the study of material remains, it explores prehistory and the evolutionary development of our species. ANTH 160 is recommended but not required.
Myth, Magic and the Supernatural
The study of religion from an anthropological perspective with an emphasis on non-ecclesiastical religions found in simple societies. Similarities and differences are identified and discussed within the context of such components as myth, ritual, belief, symbolism, magic, ancestor worship, healing, religious specialists, and revitalization movements. ANTH 160 or 252 are recommended but not required.
Indian Peoples in the United States
Discusses archeological evidence of the lifestyle of early humans in the New World, and historical reports about European expansion and its effects on the indigenous population. It covers such topics as 20th Century policy changes and their impact, and issues surrounding sovereignty. Cultural differences and similarities among groups, generations and urban/rural dwellers are also discussed. ANTH 160 or ANTH 252 are recommended but not required.
Political Anthropology
Offers a comprehensive overview of political anthropology, how it has evolved as a sub-discipline through an emphasis on different theories, and the results of some of its important research. Topics include the different types of preindustrial political systems and their relation to subsistence strategies; the politics of rebellion and warfare; the politics of identity in gender and ethnic power relations; the maintenance of identity in different types of diaspora, and the consequences of globalization.

This course explores sports as a significant cultural, political, and economic force in American society. Focusing on both established and alternative sports, the course incorporates a sociological perspective to critically examine how sports are organized, played, experienced, observed, perceived, and critiqued in the United States.
Gender in Society
Examines the socio-cultural construction of gender in the United States with some cross-cultural comparisons. It makes generalizations about how the experiences of men and women differ in this society and also looks at different experiences based on region, class, religion, and ethnicity.

Senior Project/Thesis
(4 or 2 - 2)
A senior project or thesis is required of all sociology and social science academic majors. Sociology majors will sign up for four credit hours in one semester. Social science majors will spread these hours over two semesters so that they can work with two instructors from different disciplines. Those who opt to conduct a community project will extend the work done in their research methods course and carry out the necessary fieldwork: a minimum of four interviews and two participant observations, or data analysis. Those who opt to write a thesis will focus on research, the synthesis of information, analysis, and writing techniques concerning a particular topic in sociology (for sociology majors) or the social sciences (for social science majors). All majors signing up for the project or thesis must have completed either SOC 390 (after having first completed MATH 150 as a prerequisite for SOC 390) or SOC 391. To take the thesis, all students must have senior standing, a declared major in sociology or social science, and consent of the instructor.

SOUTH African Revenue Service (SARS) commissioner Oupa Magashula has resigned following an investigation into allegations of impropriety against him, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan announced in Pretoria on Friday. His resignation is effective immediately.
Mr Magashula was not present when the announcement was made.
In March this year, Mr Gordhan appointed retired Constitutional Court Justice Zak Yacoob to head up an inquiry into claims that Mr Magashula had offered a young woman a job at SARS without following procedure.
The finance minister said at the time that although an initial report had not shown any breach of process at SARS, he had thought it best to institute a thorough investigation.
On Friday, Mr Gordhan said Mr Magashula had placed SARS's reputation at risk and had not been as frank with the investigative committee as he had been expected to be.
However, he added, the committee found no evidence that Mr Magashula had committed a crime. The SARS chief resigned after seeing the committee's report.
Mr Gordhan said a person holding the post of tax commissioner needed a certain level of integrity and professionalism, but Mr Magashula's conduct was found lacking in this regard.
Deputy SARS commissioner Ivan Pillay will take over from Mr Magashula in an acting capacity, Mr Gordhan said.
Afrikaans Sunday paper Rapport reported on a secret recording of a conversation between Mr Magashula and a 28-year-old chartered accountant. Mr Magashula allegedly told the woman that he would pay her R1m to work for SARS because she deserved R1m at her age.
Rapport said the woman, only known as Nosipho, then worked for less than R400,000 at one of the big four accounting firms.
According to the newspaper report, the woman was a friend of Panganathan Marimuthu, a wealthy businessman convicted of drug dealing about 15 years ago. The man allegedly met Mr Magashula in a Durban restaurant two years before and passed the phone to Mr Magashula to speak to the woman.
It was also reported that Mr Marimuthu had been the target of a SARS investigation and when he obtained a copy of the discussion between Mr Magashula and the woman, he bragged that he was "untouchable" as he had "the SARS boss in his pocket".
"It must be emphasised that the young chartered accountant did not supply SARS with her curriculum vitae, nor was she ever employed by SARS," Mr Gordhan said in March.

This fall, tutors and students from Partners in English Language Learning (PiELL) attended the fifth annual Tutor and Student Potluck picnic at Memorial Park in Grass Valley. The picnickers enjoyed great food together, including barbecued hot dogs, dishes from the students' countries of origin and salads and desserts provided by PiELL volunteers. They also enjoyed attempts to communicate across the language divide, with limited "second language" skills on both sides. Hilarity, at times, ensued, as did teaching moments, as one tutor read to the children of some of the PiELL students.
PiELL trains volunteers to teach English as a second language to adults, one on one, free of charge. Many of PiELL's students are working full time and raising children, yet they make time to do the hard work of learning English. The next two-day tutor training session will be Feb. 2 and 9. Those interested in volunteering for PiELL as a tutor or board member or know someone who wants to learn English as a second language may call (530) 274-8428 for information or visit www.piell.org.

Jackie Brown
Not before, in the entire history of the United States, has one man found such a convenient way to use the word "nigger" without first joining the Ku Klux Klan. This film does for the n-word what "Scarface" did for the f-word, making "Jackie Brown" nothing more than a measuring stick by which worthless fraternity members can rate their drinking prowess.
Director Quentin Tarantino joins a long list of filmmakers who are masturbating their egos with excessively long films this holiday season. At a ridiculously long two-and-a-half hours, Tarantino's is the most vile offender. There is nothing in "Jackie Brown" that is worth that kind of time. Tarantino has nothing worthwhile to say, nothing new to offer. The reason his film is so long is because he seems to find humor in the mundane - in scenes that don't propel his story forward one millimeter.
Jackie (Pam Grier) is an airline stewardess who smuggles cash for gunrunner Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). When she's caught by an ATF agent (Michael Keaton) and an L.A. cop (Michael Bowen) things get ugly. The cops want her to talk. Ordell wants to kill her before she does. With the help of a bail bondsman (Robert Forster), Jackie has got to figure out a way to outwit everybody.
It's important to remember that Tarantino wrote this film, even though it's based on Elmore Leonard's "Rum Punch." It's his fault there's so much wrong with it. Who's the star? It's called "Jackie Brown," yet Samuel L. Jackson dominates the film. Even the soundtrack is lame, which, in a Tarantino film, is the worst kind of offense.

Sapphires director Wayne Blair tipped as filmmaker to watch by Hollywood trade magazine Variety
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 10, 2012
THE director of The Sapphires, Wayne Blair, has been tipped by Variety as one of 10 directors to watch.
While the film's scheduled early 2013 release date means it won't qualify for this year's Golden Globe or Academy Awards, the nod from the influential trade magazine gives the indigenous musical extra sparkle in the tough American market.
Blair's raised profile will be a useful tool in specialist distributor The Weinstein Company's marketing strategy, especially on the back of the film's three audience choice awards at the recent St Louis, Aspen and Denver film festivals.
Blair, who is currently shooting ABC TV series Gods of Wheat Street near Lismore in northern NSW, heads off to the Dubai Film Festival later this week where The Sapphires has been selected to screen in the prestigious closing night film slot.
The Taree-born filmmaker's feature film debut has taken $14.3 million at the Australian box office and recently picked up an impressive 12 nominations at this year's AACTA Awards, including best film, best director, best actor (Chris O'Dowd) and best actress (Deborah Mailman) and best supporting actress (Jessica Mauboy).

NEW YORK - Jimmy Dunne gives his employees bear hugs, backrubs and booming exhortations to keep up the good work. Then this Wall Street workaholic, whose boyhood friend and mentor are both missing, shuts the door to his office and fights back tears.
Jennifer Szot, remarkably fresh after four hours' sleep and a breakfast of two Tylenols, has begun collecting toothbrushes belonging to missing workers, to give coroners some DNA with which to identify bodies.
Andrew Armstrong has spent four days searching out and hiring grief counselors and relief workers, and setting up bank accounts to raise money for employees' families.
At the investment firm of Sandler O'Neill & Partners, 67 of the 90 employees who worked in the World Trade Center's south tower are missing.
But in the cramped working quarters Sandler has squeezed into with two sister companies, there is barely any space, or time, to mourn. There is simply too much to do if this business, whose workers call themselves a family, is to survive.
"We lost close friends, very, very close friends," says Fred Price, one of the Sandler's senior executives. "But I think our resolution now is to honor them and their families, and the best way to do that is to rebuild their firm."
The people of Sandler will tell you, every last one of them, they have no doubts that will happen.
Most of Sandler's employees had already reached their desks Tuesday morning in their offices on the 104th floor. Some of them were making final arrangements for the company's annual insurance conference, which was to be on Thursday, when the first plane hit.
By the time the survivors stumbled from the building, two-thirds of the headquarters staff was missing along with two outside consultants.
The 67 missing workers represent more than a third of the company's total work force of 175.
Those unaccounted for include Herman Sandler, the chief executive and undisputed visionary, who founded the firm with six other men in 1988.
Also missing is Chris Quackenbush, the executive in charge of investment banking. Dunne, who has taken over the helm of the firm, recalled Friday that he and Quackenbush had been best friends ever since they met as caddies at a Long Island golf course when they were both 14.
"I'm not this bad out there," Dunne said, struggling to suppress tears and pointing to the common area outside his office where his employees worked the phones. "The most important thing we can do for each other is care for each other and demonstrate some strength."
Within hours of the attack, the remnants of the staff - some like Mark Fitzgibbon still wearing clothes permeated by the smoke and dust - made their way to a midtown office tower where a command center was set up in the borrowed offices.
People like Szot and her husband, Derek, a longtime Sandler employee now at an Internet venture backed by the firm, began visiting emergency rooms and other sites in search of lost friends.
Analysts and traders and administrative assistants manned the phones, calling hospitals, police, the families of those missing, urging them not to give up.
When John Faith, who left Sandler a few years ago, called offering to help reconstruct a computer system, he was embraced as kin.
When Quackenbush's sister walked into the office Friday afternoon, she was cheered and hugged and then put to work.
At the same time, Dunne and other managers have tried to piece together a working business from the barest resources.
The first test came Thursday, when the firm executed trades as the first markets reopened. The firm promises to be fully operational by Monday, when the stock markets are supposed to reopen.
Rival chief executives have called to donate computers, desks and office space, to offer personal loans, to tell Dunne they will perform trades on his company's behalf without any commission.
Twice this week, police called to say they had found someone alive with a name matching one on the Sandler list. Both times, colleagues rushed to the hospital, only to find the survivors happened to have the same name as their still-missing colleagues.
"Every time we got a little burst of hope," executive Terry Maltese said, "it was just pounded down."

I don't usually post info about life events and such on-line, but this one's pretty major and since I hang out here so often anyway... It's time for "internet as therapy" with Ravyn Rant! Thank you for your indulgence.
So my Spawn, the Amazon Princess, who used to post here back when she had free time, decides it's time to take the big step and move in with her sweetie.
NEWSFLASH: Empty Nest Syndrome is a MYTH! A MYTH, I tell you!
But since I'm the Mom, I could wish that she'd decided to get an apartment with a girl friend, rather than take both the big steps at once and move out of Mom's and in with the boyfriend. Probably since I did just that myself, and that's how the Spawn came to be! I just hate it when my life fits a demographic pattern, or am I the only one that does that? Again, however, since I AM The Mom, I'm confident in her judgment and I really like her choice. He fits into our geeky little family quite well, and that's where the figure skating angle comes into it. (And aren't you glad there is one?)
Hee! I get to brag on my baby's darlin'.
When they first started going out - interestingly enough, it coincided with the start of figure skating season - it soon became apparent to the Amazon Prince Consort (snicker...she's gonna love that...mwah ha ha...) that Spawn was one of that rare breed, the True Figure Skating Fanatic. Like her mother before her...
Now most of you would agree that the average young heterosexual American male would recoil in horror at the idea of long weekend afternoons spent watching figure skating with a girl who provides interesting counterpart to the commentary. (Example: Chait and Sakhnovsky open their free dance. Sergei looms over Galit and Spawn cries out, "DRACUL!" That girl is FUN to watch tee-vee with, I'm tellin' ya.)
So what does the APC do? Run away? Hide under the table? Nope. He goes home and googles "figure skating" so he would be able learn enough to talk with her about it. C'mon, ladies, how many guys that you've just started dating have done that for you? She was impressed enough that she started researching his favorite sport, one even more obscure in this country than figure skating - English football. Now how cute is that?
I think the Spawn's going to be all right. Meanwhile, I think I'll invite myself over for dinner and the ladies' final at Worlds.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Aussie Curves – Time Saver
I'm chronically 15 minutes late, ask anyone who knows me. I never intend to be, I just have trouble prioritising and as an added bonus I feel like I have the capacity to do ALL THE THINGS all at once... it drives Steve up the wall. Time just never seems to be on my side and my day-to-day outfits usually reflect that. It needs to be an effortless, simple outfit to get me out the door on time. For a fancy event I'll usually allocate half a day in order to get ready and arrive in the city on time, ... [ Discover More ]
Aussie Curves – Sparkle
You're probably wondering "Where the hell is the sparkle?" but bear with me, this year I'm doing sparkles in an understated fashion... sorry, a blurry understated fashion *sigh*. Somedays just aren't my days and this was one of them. It was Steve's birthday so I wanted to look nice for whatever the day had in store for us. As you can tell we were winging it, moving doesn't allow much room in the budget for fun. Turns out an entire afternoon the Apple Store genius bar isn't as awesome as it ... [ Discover More ]
Aussie Curves – Green
I know "Sparkle" week started today but I'm not feeling entirely sparkly right now. We found out on Thursday night that the owner of the house we've been renting for the past 6+ years has decided to sell the property but needs to do some work on the house before it can be put up for sale so we're out of there. We've got three months to move but I want the whole thing over and done with so we spent the weekend looking at properties and I'll be applying for two tomorrow morning, wish me luck! I ...

Aussie Curves – Hipster
I'm back baby! March and September are my busiest months of the year and the past few weeks kicked my ass with both awesomeness and crap I don't want to talk about just yet. It's pretty poor form when the founder of Aussie Curves can't even manage to pull an outfit post together but you know what, who cares? There are so many inspiring ladies within the challenge now and I've always said you don't have to participate every week, just when you can. I couldn't, I was tapped out and just not ...

Curve Embracer
This is my little sister Stephanie, although it seems a bit redundant to call her that now she's a fully functioning and independent adult... but I'm her big sister so I guess I can call her what ever I like! We've grown really close over the past few years, it's really nice. Before we just kind of swung around in our own orbits, occasionally colliding, often resulting in tears. Not only have we become closer on a personal level but she's also been learning more about what I do for work. So ... [ Discover More ]

A special thanks to the unwavering support, love and nominations from new and loyal readers of my blog.

On Sunday Jo had organised an Aussie Curves Meet Up Event at the City Chic Factory Outlet in Campbeltown, NSW. Jo and I were on the tail end of a huge weekend (more on that later) but we were still excited to go shopping with Claire, Rachel and Sunny. I've only been there once before and I have to say that going with a group of friends is way better than going alone. Of course I didn't want you to miss out on the fun either so I filmed it all...

Aussie Curves – Secondhand
In the name of multitasking I present my second look photographed on the same day... and yes it did involve a quick outfit change in a public park because I'm a risky dare devil like that. I'm also a bit of a cheater, the dress isn't secondhand but the handbag is, that totally counts right?

This week the challenge is to steal a style "Off The Runway" and interpret the look in your own way. Endless possibilities. I discovered the look above by Marissa Webb (Spring 2014) and knew instantly that I could make it work. I already owned a metallic gold skirt and my crisp blouse was begging to be worn. I didn't have a white tie so I added some simple chains. I didn't have super strappy heels but I did have a cute pair of nude t-bars. Basically same-same but different. It was really cool ...

Natural gas exports: Slow walk or 'danger zone'?
WASHINGTON -- The debate over exporting liquefied natural gas is intensifying as the Energy Department considers an array of applications to ship the fuel to Japan, India and other countries where prices are far higher than in the United States.
Some large manufacturers that use natural gas say the department is moving too quickly to approve gas exports, pushing the United States into a "danger zone" that could raise prices and harm the economy. Environmental groups worry that tentative approval of several large export projects may accelerate a fracking boom they say could harm public health and the environment.
Industry groups, meanwhile, say the administration is moving too slowly, with just one of nearly two dozen proposed LNG export terminals given final approval in the past two years. Four other projects have received conditional backing.
"The Department of Energy's slow walk of LNG export licenses violates our trade obligations" and could cause the U.S. to lose billions of dollars in the global gas market, said Margo Thorning, director of the Act on LNG campaign, an advocacy group that supports gas exports.
"In a perfect world, we'd like to just see them approve all the applications that meet the requirements and let the market figure out which ones are actually going to be built," said Marty Durbin, president and CEO of America's Natural Gas Alliance, an industry group that has pushed for more exports to keep the U.S. competitive in a global market.
If built, the projects already given tentative or final approval would export about 6.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day.

'Absolutely essential that Irish is taught effectively'
Pól Ó Muirí
The Irish-language group, Conradh na Gaeilge, want an integrated course for Irish in schools to be established immediately. President of Conradh na Gaeilge, Pádraig Mac Fhearghusa, said that it was "absolutely essential that Irish is taught effectively throughout our education system, and we are recommending that a proper fully integrated and graded course for the Irish language, from pre-school to third level, be put into effect without delay."
Mac Fhearghusa made his comments as a delegation from Conradh na Gaeilge, Ireland's oldest Irish-language group, prepares to meet the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gaeltacht Affairs tomorrow in Dublin to discuss the Government's Draft 20 Year Strategy for the Irish Language.
The group will also argue that equal status be given to Irish on bilingual road signs; that the public service adopt a recruitment policy that encourages the employment of bilingual members of staff and that the new language authority, údarás na Gaeilge, mentioned in the strategy continues to support enterprise and employment in Gaeltacht areas.
General Secretary of the organisation, Julian de Spáinn, said that the public have a vital role to play in the implementation of the strategy and the group believed it was vital that Irish-language institutions were responsible for the Gaeltacht and Gaeltacht communities: "In terms of our language and culture, the people of the Gaeltacht are entitled to special recognition; the long-term sustainability of the Irish language in the Gaeltacht would be at risk if the general public treat the language with indifference and if the State refuses to accept its importance. We believe that it is crucial that the new authority noted in the strategy continues to have a responsibility for the creation of employment in the Gaeltacht areas, as Údarás na Gaeltachta has done to date, and that adequate resources are provided for the Authority to do so."
The meeting of the joint committee will be broadcast live on TG4 between 2pm and 4.30pm

Boulder, Colo. – September 17, 2013 – P.INK, the post-mastectomy tattoo support platform, today launched an online crowdfunding campaign to finance the tattoos of 10 breast cancer survivors at P.INK Day, an event to be held in New York City in October during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In order to fund the tattoos, P.INK has set out to raise $25,000 from the public through crowdfunding platform Indiegogo.
After a mastectomy, many breast cancer survivors are left with scars and often, no nipples, which is a problem that reconstructive surgery cannot always solve. Through its Pinterest site at www.p-ink.org, P.INK strives to educate post-mastectomy patients about tattoos as an alternative healing option and empower them to take creative control of their post-op bodies. With the help of public donations, P.INK will now be able to put their mission into action this October and facilitate survivors receiving physical tattoos.
The inaugural P.INK Day is set for October 21st at Saved Tattoo studio in Brooklyn. At the event, 10 of the country's top artists will ink scar-coverage or nipple-replacement tattoos on 10 breast cancer survivors. These renowned artists include Virginia Elwood, Roxx, Amanda Wachob, Stephanie Tamez, Michelle Myles, Nikki Lugo, Michelle Tarantelli, Joy Rumore, Miranda Lorborer and Joy Rumore.
Starting today, donations are being collected at the P.INK Day campaign site: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/p-ink-day-2013. Contributions at any level will help, but as a special thank you for donations of $500 or more, contributors will receive an art print of their very tattoo they helped sponsor.
"This an investment in art," said Noel Franus, who leads and along with dozens of others created P.INK as a non-profit passion project at Boulder, Colo-based advertising agency CP+B. "Public contributions will help commission beautiful work that will serve as a personal and permanent celebration of life."
About P.INK:
Personal Ink (P.INK) began at Boulder-based ad agency CP+B. Our goal is to connect breast cancer survivors and tattoo artists—two disparate communities that seem (to us) naturally allied. In early 2013 we launched p-ink.org, and we've been growing ever since. What began as a nights-and-weekends passion project has snowballed into a movement—one that we would all like to see expand.
