|Flashback from the 2010 grand opening
I had known this was coming for a while but it is still very sad news. I know a lot of people enjoyed going to Big Chair Coffee and then Big Chair Cafe Bar & Grill under the management of Michael Sterling. Hopefully it will get a reboot and come back stronger then ever like the new Uniontown Bar & Grill. I would love to hear from readers on their experiences and fond memories of Anacostia's first (and surely not last) coffee shop/cafe/bar&grill.
I just found my very first post (January 2010) about my first visit to BCC (then under difference management). Boy have the years flown by!
Go HERE to read the full article on Big Chair's closing by Jonathan O'Connell.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, I've decided to close the Big Chair Bar and Grill effective Monday, October 14 2013," manager Michael Sterling posted on Facebook Saturday. "I would like to thank everyone that has supported me and our family here at the Big Chair."
Sterling said he had decided to become a partner at Mama's BBQ Blues, a pizza and barbecue place down the street. He could not immediately be reached for comment at Mama's BBQ and no one picked up the phone at Big Chair.

Unknown current boyfriend
Daria Irina Morgendorffer is the series' titular protagonist. Originally a supporting character in Beavis and Butthead, she is the eldest child in the Morgendorffer family and a disaffected, misanthropic student of Lawndale High.
Appearance Edit
In stark contrast with all other female characters, Daria makes no attempt to dress attractively, never wearing any makeup or styling her long, chocolate brown hair in any particular fashion. She typically sports a large dark green jacket, an orange shirt underneath, a black skirt and large lace-up boots, accompanied by her signature thick-rimmed circular glasses. She is relatively small in stature, standing at a mere 5'2" according to Jane, and most clothes don't fit her as a result, even including her usual outfit to an extent, as her coat and boots are clearly a bit large for her. Quinn the Brain is the only episode where her body type is actively showcased, and it seems to be fairly similar to Quinn's.
Personality Edit
Daria primarily revolves around the main character's cynical outlook and how it evolves throughout the series. Daria's best known characteristic is her deadpan sarcasm; her usual reaction to almost anything and everyone being a dry, witty remark at their expense. This commonality is what united her with her best friend, Jane Lane, and the two often enjoy a sort of innate pride in seeing see high school life more objectively than their brain-dead classmates and condescending or self-focused teachers. Daria is naturally intelligent and known as a "brain" in school, earning average to high marks in all of her classes without much effort and spending much of her free time on intellectual pursuits such as reading and writing. However, she is also highly apathetic and somewhat lazy, showing no motivation to apply anything above the minimum required effort and never taking part in extracurricular activities by her own volition, entirely content to coast through high school with her inherent academic talents. Because of this lack of engagement with other students, in addition to her often bored or pessimistic expression and status as an outsider, she is commonly perceived as being very unhappy, although in The Misery Chick, she denies this and clarifies that her outlook is simply "realistic" rather than outright nihilistic, although she will occasionally appeal to nihilism and even consideration of suicide for the sake of an offhand joke.
Another one of Daria's key traits is her staunchness, as she is often highly opinionated, sometimes harshly judgmental and even smug at points. Although she is ultimately fair, and will admit to being wrong after proven as such, she is typically opposed to or at least wary of generally accepted social norms and notions, as well as things such as superstition, and can be somewhat quick to anger in a divisive argument. Her sense of morality and unwillingness to conform often frustrates her family and the school faculty, but occasionally makes them proud when conformity would be unjust. She has admitted to having generally low opinions of others, but does occasionally socialize with Jodie Landon and Mack, and acknowledges them as two of the few decently intelligent and respectable students going to Lawndale. She once confided to Jodie that she knows her unaccepting and uninclusive attitude isn't the perfect way to go about seeing the world, but it's simply her most comfortable form of interaction. As Boxing Daria entails, this is rooted in poor childhood experiences of not relating to other kids and being mocked for it. This repeated result, compounded by her belief that she was becoming a burden to her parents, motivated her to stop trying to interact with people altogether and instead shield herself from possible rejection by isolating herself voluntarily. In her own words, she is highly defensive to the point of actively trying to make people dislike her so that she won't feel bad when they do.
Although her stance on most things is unwavering, Daria is also highly self-aware, which is fairly evident given her sense of humor, but this means she is also willing to look at herself in the same critical light in order to learn from her mistakes. While her character is largely the same by the end of the series, she makes multiple strides to come out of her shell and reach out to people throughout it's run, often with mixed but ultimately enlightening results.

Well, everyone has already said it (and I know this thread has been up for several months) but, I think you have beautiful hair! So full and thick!! I am jealous. I got to this thread somehow because I was looking for some help in putting my hair in twists. I'm white and my black friends have told me that my hair won't stick together at the ends to be able to do the twists properly. I know there MUST be some way to do it. I think the twists are so cool but rubber bands would probably kill the look.
It made me feel so bad for you that you have been made to feel bad about your hair. The "pro's" you have gone to should be ashamed at how they have treated you. Such unkind people.
I totally empathize with your instant tangling issues. My hair is fine, about a 2c-3a and waist length and as soon as I detangle it starts to re-tangle itself. I brush it with a wet hair brush before I get into the shower. After I wet it but before I apply the co-wash it is already tangled. Makes me want to SCREAM!! My hair though, is not at all dense as I have lost a good 2/3 of it due to some medication side-effects. I can just imagine how it is for you with your hair as thick as it is.
I know you said that your feelings about your hair have been a life-long thing but I truly hope you are able to stop letting others opinions make you feel ugly. Those people don't know what they are talking about and if they don't like your hair then they have a skewed sense of beauty.
I wish I could help you with some product recommendations but I am new to the CG experience and haven't tried out, or have knowledge of, many of the products. At the moment I am using As I Am co-wash and I really like it. I also use Curls Unleashed Shine and Define Mousse and it seems to give nice curl definition while cutting out much of the frizz. I know that some of the companies will send you free samples of their products so that might be a way of you finding what works for you without having to spend a small fortune. I think also that getting some of the bulk thinned out might be a help in controlling your hair without ( heaven forbid) losing any of the length.
Please post and let us know how your hair journey is moving along, I'd be really interested in finding out if you have found a solution to some of the hair issues you have talked about here. Take care!
Have begun the CG process as of May, 2012 and have already gotten my hair from a frizzy 2b-sometimes 2c to a 3a. YAY!!!!
----made my hair frizzy, but SOFT! Am now using
As I Am
as a co-wash and Leave-in, and
Curls Unleashed Shine and Define Mousse
, as well as Plopping. I can't believe my curls are coming back!!!!

Apocalyptic Witness: A Radical Calling for our Own Times
William Durland was born in 1931. He was raised Catholic and attended Loyola and Georgetown colleges, remaining in the church until a mystical experience led him to Christian pacifism and later Quakerism. He has written extensively on peace issues. Since 1970, he and his wife Genie have coordinated nonviolent protest in the form of tax resistance and active peacemaking. He argued four different cases involving war tax resistance before the Supreme Court during the 1980s. Living with God and living as if the Kingdom of God has already come is the witness the author discusses in this pamphlet.

Lawrence officer facing battery, misconduct charges
A Lawrence police officer has been charged with battery and official misconduct for allegedly using excessive force during an arrest.
Officer Gabriel Slaybaugh has been on administrative leave since the complaint was filed about the arrest, which occurred in August. Police officials say he will remain on leave while the investigation continues.
"This was an isolated incident and should not reflect on the members of the Lawrence Police
Department and their professionalism and dedication they exhibit each and every day," said Lawrence Police Chief Michael L. Walton. "The men and women of this Department do not condone inappropriate conduct, and will continue to Serve & Protect the residents and visitors of the City of Lawrence."
Walton requested the assistance of IMPD's Special Investigations Unit, who conducted an independent investigation and presented the findings to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office. The prosecutor then filed the formal charges against Slaybaugh.
Slaybaugh is a seven-year veteran of the Lawrence Police Department.

Five regular Holland starters missed full training as Louis van Gaal's team prepared for their last-16 game against Mexico.
Arjen Robben was restricted to running up and down the sidelines at Flamengo's training ground in Rio de Janeiro, along with the defenders Stefan de Vrij and Daley Blind and the midfielder Nigel de Jong, while other members of the team played a practice match.
The defender Bruno Martins Indi, who is recovering from a concussion picked up in Holland's win over Australia, spent the session firing shots at the goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen and did not train with the rest of the team.
The substitute midfielder Leroy Fer, who strained a hamstring in training a day after scoring the opening goal in the 2-0 defeat of Chile, also did not train.

Berkeley Police Blame Occupy Protesters For Man's Murder
February 23, 2012 at 6:02 PM Leave a comment
This is how the establishment slowly turns the public against groups it doesn't like:
The Berkeley Police Department has come under fire this week for not responding to a call that evolved into the killing of a man Saturday.
Blame for the alleged murder of Peter Cukor, 67 — who was beaten to death outside of his Berkeley Hills home Saturday evening — has been passed between the police department and Occupy protesters who marched from Oakland to the UC Berkeley campus that evening.
Berkeley police have acknowledged that they were keeping officers on standby to monitor the march to the campus's International House when Cukor first called at 8:45 p.m. to report a suspicious person "hanging around" his property.
However, at that time, the police department was only responding to criminal, emergency, in progress calls, according to Berkeley Police Department Lt. Andrew Greenwood.
After phoning police, Cukor walked to a nearby fire station for help and, on his way back, was bludgeoned to death, according to Greenwood.
"I'm totally freaked out by what happened," said Cathy Romanski, a staff member at the UC Berkeley School of Law and a resident of the Grizzly Peak area where the murder occurred. "The police didn't come when we needed them because of Occupy Oakland," Romanski said. "I want them to know what they did — that a person died because of their protests. It's appalling."
However, Wendy Kenin, an Occupy Oakland protester, said the Occupy Oakland march did not leave until after the assault had already been reported, so blaming the department's lack of response on the protesters is unfair.
"They are over-responding, and they are putting all their manpower into a peaceful demonstration when they should be responding to calls about potential violence," Kenin said.
So what if this had occurred oh, say, during a visit by President Obama? Would the police blame the murder on him? Of course not. Or what if it happened on UCBerkeley's graduation day? Would the police blame it on the students or the university? No. The Occupy people are convenient scapegoats and the Berkeley PD should be ashamed of what it's doing here.

Fort White Man Leads Deputies On A High Speed Chase
Published March 14th, 2010
A Fort White man is also behind bars for drinking and driving, but the list of charges against him doesn't end there.
Larry Fowler led Alachua County Sheriff's deputies on a high speed chase reaching upwards of 80 mph on County Road 337 in Newberry before eventually pulling into a dirt driveway and fleeing on foot.
Deputies say he even tried to ram two different deputies' cars when they tried to deploy stop sticks.
Deputies had to tase him to get him into custody.
Officials say Fowler had also been stalking his ex-wife and even broke into her home and her parents' home several times.
He is being held in the Alachua County Jail.

CommentaryMatthew Henry Commentary
2:1-3 The prophet calls to national repentance, as the only way to prevent national ruin. A nation not desiring, that has not desires toward God, is not desirous of his favour and grace, has no mind to repent and reform. Or, not desirable, not having any thing to recommend them to God; to whom God might justly say, Depart from me; but he says, Gather together to me that you may seek my face. We know what God's decree will bring against impenitent sinners, therefore it highly concerns all to repent in the accepted time. How careful should we all be to seek peace with God, before the Holy Spirit withdraws from us, or ceases to strive with us; before the day of grace is over, or the day of life; before our everlasting state is determined! Let the poor, despised, and afflicted, seek the Lord, and seek to understand and keep his commandments better, that they may be more humbled for their sins. The chief hope of deliverance from national judgments rests upon prayer.
Study BibleA Call to Repentance
1Gather yourselves together, yes, gather, O nation without shame, 2Before the decree takes effect-- The day passes like the chaff-- Before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you, Before the day of the LORD'S anger comes upon you.…

I seem to recall reading on the forum that higher gain screens, like the Draper 2500 (2.1 gain) work well with dlp and lcd projectors despite their higher light output.
Supposedly, these types of projectors are less prone to hot spotting and color shift problems because they disperse light more evenly onto the screen through their single lens.
Could anyone support or comment upon this?
Thanks guys.
Chuck, what is the "angle of incidence?"
My 6' wide couch (sweet spot is in center) is 14' from my proposed 106" diagnal 16:9 screen. The projector (Sony 10HT when it is available) will be ceiling mounted directly overhead and about 2-3 feet forward of couch.

How to Search for Trust Topic Websites to get site referrals in 10 minutes. According to willbecoded.ca there is a number of ways to create a database of sites to promote your website, but today we will focus on top websites to get referrals fast as a part of your own SEO company website project.
- Instruction to Get Data
- Top Sites
- Select country
- Choose category
- Make selection from websites according to needed topic
- Select by topic
- Get data from selected topics
- Copy data to Excel
In fact, this type of data gathering will take up to 10 minutes. After that you will move on to more important and complicated process – getting in contact with potential referrals.
- General Criteria of Online Traffic
As you can see, it is vital to use other important criteria such as:
- Traffic increase according to SemRush
- Alexa
In this case, the most crucial criterion is website traffic. Majority of the sites that will come up are the leaders in the selected niche. Having received their link, you will substantially contribute to your website's traffic increase fast.
But there is a problem!
- Your competitors will not be willing to put a link to your website whichever content good or bad you may have on your website or you have done for them
- It is extremely difficult to come to an agreement and you have to know how to do that to get their link
- As a result: You are NOT guaranteed to have good results!
That's why in some cases, it is easier to do a PBN net, add comments, put a number of different articles and then you will get the top positions. Here is an example.
This is a working scheme. But there are substantial benefits such as:
- getting links from top online sources is a long-term strategy
- aside from most-wanted links, you will get both traffic and client auditory interested in your online resource
- works fast
As a result, you will get marketing content that will positively influence SEO of your website.
- What should you do with that?
Now it is time to work on the preliminary contract that you made with top sites that you are trying to get links from.
- Get a separate email to complete the project: a) make sure to get email with domain name; b) it will be answered faster.
- Teach a person to view the progress – the out-reach employee.
- Get in touch with website owners, bloggers, and representatives of other web sources.
- Make a deal with them to: a) list of sites where you wish your content to be posted; b) settle to affordable price for the service. For simpler projects it might look like that:

Q: How change font in legend?
To add a legend to a plot I use the standard package Graphics`Legend
together with the Plot or Listplot command. I can change the font used
for axes labels or plot label by defining DefaultFont -> Whatever.
Question 1: DefaultFont does not change the font of the legend text! How
can this be achieved?
Question 2) In the legend box the linestyles are printed together with
the respective legend. However if the lines differ by thickness/dashing
and not by color it's sometimes hard to recognize these differences in
the legend. How can I make these lines better visible, e.g. in general
thicker, without changing the size of the legend box itself?
For the plot I can change from colour output to graylevel using
ColorOutput -> GrayLevel. But changing to graylevel does not change the
linestyle in the legend, the lines there still remain in color.
Question 3) Is this a bug? Is there a workaround or something I am
Any assistance in this is much appreciated.

Camp Cupcake
These were made for the Bsic troop camping training team for my GS council. We were having a meeting at one of our camps, so I thought these would be festive. Tents, flowers, leaves and trefoils (GS symbol) = fondant, tent poles, flower stems, signposts = pretzels, dirt = graham cracker crumbs, buttercream icing. For the flag poles, I wiggled out the standard toothpicks and replaced with bamboo skewers. Each tent had a flagpole + teddy graham. Council initails = food-safe markers. Feel free to comment.

Plumbing for an Ice Machine
Hello. My church recently purchased an air-cooled under-the-counter Manitowoc ice machine. In the cabinet slot where it is going to be installed (on the far end of the kitchen with its back against an exterior wall consisting of sheet rock/insulation/metal siding), we do have a water hookup available but do not have any drain to accommodate the gravity drain on the back of the machine (for ice melting in the storage bin).
We have thought about just piping a drain out the wall to the exterior of the church since it would be on the back side of the building. However, I don't really know the best way to do that. We would also like it to be where we could slide the machine out from the wall if needed for maintenance, etc. Also, we don't want bugs or other creatures getting in through the pipe. Is an air gap needed in the drainage? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Typically ice machines drains are plumbed to a floor sink or hub drain by an indirect waste line- never to the outside.
There length limitations for the indirect line and when it needs a trap and/or a vent, depending on your local code.
An air gap is needed and should be 2x the discharge pipe diameter.
The water is also plumbed with backflow protection.
I strongly suggest you permit the installation as public health is at stake here.
When you say "The water is also plumbed with backflow protection.", do you mean the inlet water supply?
I was hoping to do something like the following if plausible:
1: Come out of ice machine and turn vertically down towards the floor (put a valve here so drainage line could be shut off if machine were to be pulled away from wall for maintenance/repair/cleaning)
2: Air gap approx. 2x the diameter of the pipe
3: Horizontal catch pipe (with P-trap) that runs through the wall to the exterior of the building
4: Once outside, turn pipe vertically down into buried 5 gallon bucket (bucket is 1/2 full with pea gravel and 6-8" pea gravel underneath).
This would prevent anything from getting through drainage pipe, would allow machine to be removed as it would not be rigidly plumbed in place, and would prevent any backups directly into the machine to avoid contamination of the ice/storage bin.
Why not just put it out the wall with chicken wire in the pipe to prevent rodents and birds entry.. The water inlet should have a dual check valve installed. Make sure you air gap the drain from the ground. The ice melting will probably over saturate what your planning on doing anyway. Do not add any valve on the drain. Some one well forget about it.

I have attached a simple schematic of what I had in mind. I also purchased an Everpure (EV910010) water filtration system. Does anything need to be changed? Thanks.
Well, you don't have too many days/nights that the outdoor temp is under 32. But then again, it doesn't take log to freeze 32 degree drain water.
I had thought about adding a vertical pipe just before the drain pipe enters the interior wall to make it easier to pour liquid down (Chlorox) to keep the drain open.
Squid it's not good to over engineer.. You do know what KISS means right?
If you need to pour something down the drain to clean it just pour it down the funnel until the trap flows.
why not have the ice machine drain run in to a condensation pump like used on a/c units? then run the hose out the wall or to a drain.
Why use a pump when you don't have to? KISS Principal.
I don't know if food service inspects your facility. SO if you do have a real drain that would be the best option to use.

{REDIT: The link to this essay - "Let Africa Sink" - by Kim du Toitwas sen to me by a friend in RSA - cheers CG! - and it took me a while to get to it as I am juggling about a million jobs - ever tried to juggle one handed? - but I am glad that I took my time, as when I read it, instead of rejecting it, it made loads of sense to me. Read it here... ENDS}
Foreign currency exchange mid-rates updated...
Gukurahundi is a traditional Shona word, which means 'the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains.' It is the word chosen by the Mugabe regime to describe a military operation against a civilian population during the 1980s."
Regular readers will know that I was based in Matabeleland South Province districts during this time and that my book "Without Honour" focuses on my experiences as a policeman at that time...
The report "Breaking the Silence" is available to download here.
"Five Brigade passed first through Tsholotsho, spreading out rapidly through Lupane and Nkayi, and their impact on all these communal areas was shocking. Within the space of six weeks more than 2000 civilians had died, hundreds of homesteads had been burnt and thousands of civilians had been beaten. Most of the dead were killed in public executions involving between one and 12 people at a time."
I am glad that this book has been released as if just a handful of people become aware of the gross atrocities committed on Mugabe's direct orders, perhaps someone in the world will motivate someone else to do something about this man...
"The solution is a military one. Their grievances are unfounded. The verdict of the voters was cast in 1980. They should have accepted defeat then… The situation in Matabeleland is one that requires a change. The people must be reoriented."
I do agree with the comparison drawn between the Gukurahundi and Murambatsvina.
"We only need to look at the language used by ZANU PF to see a recurring pattern in thinking: Gukurahundi (1980s) - 'the early rain which washes away the chaff', and, Murambatsvina (2000s) - 'clearing out the trash'. The 'chaff' and the 'trash' being anyone who dares disagree or challenge the power of Robert Mugabe, or anyone that Mugabe thinks might one day in the future disagree with him or challenge his power."

With an attitude like that, coupled together with the fact that Mbeki has issued conditions to the MDC but not the ruling party, it is apparent that any negotiating table will not be level.
And the political crackdown in Zimbabwe continues.
"South Africa Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosana Dlamini-Zuma on Tuesday said the success of President Thabo Mbeki's mediation in Zimbabwe would only succeed if the Zimbabweans themselves were serious in resolving the seven-year old crisis."
Which would read as if the Zimbabweans do not want the situation resolved! What a load of piffle! Does this man, himself holding a senior office in an African government, really think that the people of Zimbabwe are content to live under Mugabe's repressive rule, with an inflation figure officially approaching the 4000% mark, with little or no cash flow, medical services, education, employment and, probably most importantly, food?
This sort of article makes me VERY angry - because it leaves the reader believing that the situation in Zimbabwe was people driven... Far from it! The situation in Zimbabwe is driven by one man, who sees nobody else's needs but his own, and having satisfied his needs, goes on to accrue riches and luxuries that most people can only imagine...
"School heads in Zimbabwe have ordered students in boarding schools and colleges to bring their own food saying the institutions can no longer afford to provide meals to students because of high costs."
In a letter to the Ministry, it was also stated that students failing to bring their own food would be chucked out of the hostels..
"We write this letter to inform you that boarding schools in the country are now ordering students to bring their own mealie-meal, cooking oil and sugar with immediate effect," read part of the letter written to Education Minister Aenea Chigwedere.
"Since we cannot increase fees without your approval, we have decided to put the burden on the parents who have to make sure that your children have enough food to eat. Most boarding schools are no longer able to provide food to students because of the high costs involved."
The government's response? According to them the move to request/order kids to bring their own food in is illegal and can only be ratified by the Minister! Is this right - that one man can sign an order into law? If, indeed, that order is to be enforced?
I ask this because then it would appear that a parent or guardian sending a child to school without food would then be breaking the law...
The Minister, however, has rejected the request out of hand.
"We will never allow them to order students to bring their own food," said Chigwedere.
"I received the letter from the Association of Schools Head on Monday on that issue but to me they are joking. Anyone who implements this will be fired."
Ja - great joke!
"Police last weekend forcibly moved into staff quarters at Portwe Farm in Matabeleland North province in clear defiance of a High Court order issued last week to move out of the farm they occupied two months ago."
The farm owner, Dave Joubert, petitioned the High Court for the eviction to be reversed. An order was obtained, but the ZRP have chosen to ignore it.
"The occupation of the staff houses is in open disregard of a High Court order granted by Justice Francis Bere last Wednesday ordering the police to vacate the property.
Bere also ordered the police not to interfere with operations at the property and to return guns and keys they confiscated from the Jourbert family."
Pretoria's policy of "quiet diplomacy" towards its northern neighbour has been widely criticised but Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma told MP's it did not want to push the protagonists to the brink."
I ask, yet again, just what it is about Mugabe, that world leaders are afraid to say what they really think about him and his authoritarian rule? The closest we have seen in recent times was John Howard labelling Mugabe a 'grubby dictator' - to which Mugabe came out with his own accusations... and that was that.
"Why do we want to be pushed to take a war approach? We must not look at it from the (perspective) of those who want to push everybody to the brink."
When talking about Zimbabwe, it not a case of being 'pushed to the brink' - Mugabe already got them there without any help at all!
"It is the very reason we have agreed that our president must spend time, resources and energy on Zimbabwe to bring it back from the brink of collapse, not push it to collapse."
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, 83, has vowed to seek another presidential term in 2008, dismissing calls to step down despite his country's economic crisis, which critics blame on his policies. Mugabe blames former colonial power Britain."
Blair is Mugabe's arch-nemesis - and when Blair announced he was standing down at the end of next month, we had a Mugabe crowing over it big time - adding that he felt that Gordon Brown might do a better job.
Now Blair is in Africa and talking to Mbeki. Do you think Blair might tell Mbeki that 'quiet diplomacy' doesn't work?
I doubt it!
"We can maintain pressure and we do maintain pressure but the reality is that pressure is misrepresented by President Mugabe who wants to turn this into a conflict between Britain and his regime. That is not the case. The best way to work towards a solution in Zimbabwe is through those who have most influence. That's why we welcome the intervention of President Mbeki... We believe that things need to move more urgently."
"Indigenous agro-business dealer Farmers World has started distributing tractors and various other farming implements which it acquired from China to tobacco and other farmers throughout the country.
The distribution had been put on hold to allow Government to assess the suitability of the farming equipment to Zimbabwe's climatic conditions and soils."
I know that The Herald is the state mouthpiece, but is it really necessary to capitalise the word 'government'?
The knock-out blow is later in the article, with the comment: "He said the mechanisation programme would see Members of Parliament, senators and chiefs, among other national leaders, getting an opportunity to own tractors and farming in addition to ox-drawn implements for communal and resettled farmers."
Well. There it is. An admission by Gono that the majority of farms were given to government big-shots and other of similar ilk - whilst the lesser mortal would have to be satisfied with the dregs.
"This is part of a holistic approach to the mechanisation programme and stakeholders should bear with the Government as the first part of the programme will not be able to cater for all farmers," he said."
More empty promises by ZANU PF - but I did laugh at the use of 'holistic' - the dictionary defines the word as, "considering the complete person, physically and mentally, in the treatment of an illness" - speaks volumes doesn't it?
I see no reason why the peoples' voices should not be heard in a mediation - it is their voice, in the form of votes, that brings a government to power - assuming that the election of free and fair, which it is not and hasn't been for some time in Zimbabwe.
"The 10 steps urged by WOZA and MOZA include a halt to political violence, equal participation by all groups in society, the repeal of repressive laws such as the Public Order and Security Act, or POSA, and the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, or AIPPA, and an end to the selective enforcement of other laws."
Their request will either be ignored or politely refused. I cannot see ZANU PF allowing another player in on the mediation.

Gwyneth Paltrow Sings 'Forget You' During Guest Appearance on 'Glee Live' Tour
Gwyneth Paltrow excited New Jersey Gleeks on Thursday when she joined the cast of 'Glee' for a performance of 'Forget You' during their live concert at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford.
"On my way to Glee live! Rock. On," the Oscar-winning actress tweeted before the show. Paltrow was dressed in full Holly Holliday gear, complete with a sassy skirt, mock turtleneck and knee-high boots. The stage was set up just like the glee club's choir room, and her castmates provided back-up as she sang the popular Cee Lo Green cover.
Judging by their reaction, the audience enjoyed the celeb drop-in, but Ashley Fink might have been the most excited cast member. She later tweeted, "Tonight. Is. Off. The. Chain. AND in 3D. Now that's winning."
While Paltrow has had nothing but good things to say about her experience on 'Glee,' her guest appearance wasn't just for kicks. Thursday night's concert was filmed for the 'Glee Live! 3D!' film, which is due out in theaters on August 12.
The actress has gained notoriety in the music industry since appearing on the hit Fox series — she performed 'Forget You' with Green at the 2011 Grammys — and playing the role of a trouble country singer in 'Country Strong.' Paltrow, who appears on Matthew Morrison's solo debut, was reportedly in talks with Atlantic Records about releasing a solo album, but the deal has fizzled for now.

The following statement was issued Monday afternoon by Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams:
"The Wichita Police Department and BTK Task Force members are satisfied that justice has been served with today's guilty plea. I was very confident in the investigation that was conducted by the BTK Task Force, and in the solid case that was presented to the District Attorney against Dennis Rader.
"Perhaps today's events will bring some closure for the families and friends of Mr. Rader's victims, and for the citizens of Wichita.
"We must keep all the families in our thoughts and prayers and hope that they can someday find some peace in their hearts with the untimely loss of their loved ones."
The following statement was issued Monday morning by Wichita Mayor Carlos Mayans:
"On behalf of the city of Wichita, we are pleased with the guilty plea entered today by Dennis Rader.
"Our hearts go out to the family members of the victims and to the family of Dennis Rader. Our prayers are with them. We hope that the healing can begin, and that we can close the book on BTK and start a new chapter in our community.
"I want to thank the Wichita Police Department, the KBI, the FBI, the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office and all who worked diligently to help bring Dennis Rader to justice.
"It has been a trying time for this community, since BTK s re-emergence 16 months ago, but prayers have been answered."
The following statement was issued Monday morning by Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline:
"Wichita's three decade nightmare has come to an end thanks to the vigilance of a community and the dedicated and passionate devotion to justice of the Wichita Police Department, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and many others.
"Justice alone cannot bring healing to the evil Mr. Rader has wrought. However, justice can give us hope — the hope that if we ever individually or collectively face injustice, those dedicated to the cause of justice will answer the call as they have in this case.
"My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the surviving victims of this evil and my appreciation and gratitude are given to the men and women of law enforcement."
The following statement was issued Monday afternoon by Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius:
"This guilty plea is a testament to the hard work of law enforcement and prosecutors, and I hope and pray it will provide some measure of solace and closure to the victims' families."

As it was expected, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 adopts the form factor of its predecessor, the Torch 9800, and features an identical portrait sliding QWERTY keyboard. However, the 3.2-inch display of the new smartphone now boasts a resolution of 480 by 640 pixels, which translates into a pixel density of 253 ppi. Furthermore, a new 1.2GHz processor is what ticks under the smartphone's hood, the 5MP camera with flash does 720p HD recording, and we now have an HSPA+ 4G radio inside for fast Internet access on the go. Of course, the ultimate BlackBerry experience will not be achieved without BlackBerry OS 7, which will be running the whole show.
Those of you who are interested in getting the BlackBerry Torch 9810 should look no further than AT&T's shelves as it is the only carrier that will be offering the handset in the US. The smartphone is expected to hit the market later this year, followed by the BlackBerry Torch 9860 and Bold 9900.

A group is proposing construction of an airpark on Saxon Street in Canning to replace the Waterville airport. The municipal airport is slated to close this fall.
The proposal was circulated to Kings County councillors prior to the last closed-door meeting with Michelin in May. An outline suggests the airpark would be located on Saxon Street. It would operate as a non-profit society "for the benefit of the broad aviation industry (public and private), and with a strong vision to spur economic activity within Kings County."
According to the proposal, Kings Airpark Society (KAS) would own or permanently lease the property associated with the airpark and government would not be directly involved in the ownership or management of the airpark. However, "positive, ongoing dialogue is desired to make sure we all remain in sync and working together on things that are in the common good for Kings County."
KAS would own the common infrastructure: a runway, terminal building, fuel sales, a professional simulator and possibly t-hangars for rent. The group says it would work with private individuals and businesses to invest in buildings.
KAS also hopes to use peripheral land for traditional hangar lots, small RV spaces and residential home/hangar lots.
The group's proposal states, while it will "structure its day-to-day business and operations to be financially always in the black," it may look to governments for help with some infrastructure upgrades in the future and is seeking initial infrastructure money, including $2 million from the County of Kings and between $2 and $4 million apiece from the provincial and federal governments.
KAS is also asking for a 10-year contract with the county for ongoing infrastructure-only funding, which will amount to $50,000 to $100,000 annually, and is asking to be zoned for no taxes for core infrastructure.
Flight training is marked as being critical to the success of the proposed airpark, particularly ensuring the current flight training school at the Waterville Airport moves into the site. Other desired features include a parachute jump school; a Valley Search and Rescue site if desired; and a possible partnership with local universities for international students with associated programs and other non-profit organizations.
Saxon Street makes economic sense: Squires
Gordon Squires, chairman of the board of directors of the Waterville Airport Co-op, sent the proposal to council. He says that while the co-op would prefer not to see Waterville close at all, they believe a site in the eastern end of the county, closer to Halifax, is the only possibility that would make economic sense.
The Saxon Street site was chosen, he said, because there are currently two grass landing strips already in place – one that is about 2,500 feet long in an east-west direction and another that measures about 1,200 feet in a north-south direction.
KAS would pave the existing east-west runway for its use, Squires said, while the second would remain a grass landing strip for emergency use. Due to wind direction in this area, an east-west runway is needed.
The group says it would likely cost about $1.5 million to pave the existing runway, which would only be usable for light planes, up to a maximum size of a twin engine.
"The owner already has two runways and is willing to entertain extra activity and a few more hangars," Squires said.
An "airpark" is slightly different than an airport, Squires added. An airport has setbacks and design specifications that must be followed from a Transport Canada standpoint, including the ability to operate a commuter service if needed. Saxon Street would not be a certified airport and would be more of an "aerodrome."
The size of the proposed airpark would be similar in size to the current Waterville facility, he added.
"It would have a small number of businesses similar to what we have in Waterville, there for the operation of the airport. We're not talking anything chemical or toxic," Squires said.
"There's the potential for small building lots – residences and hangars on the same property. The existing land would allow for a runway about the same size as what we have in Waterville."
The Saxon Street property, he said, would not require the expropriation of any neighbouring land.
"We're not out to hurt anyone, we're not looking to take farmland," he said.
Opposition to the plan
Although this plan has not yet been released publicly, Canning-area residents have expressed concern and have set up a Facebook group to gather support.
Soren Bondrup-Nielsen is the spokesperson for the group of about 40 area residents and farmers who have formed the North East Kings Citizens Group.
"Our concern is simply that this proposed airpark on Saxon Street is on A-1 farmland, and it's massive in size. They're proposing an airstrip that is 5,000 feet long with a proposed housing development inside it so people can park their planes in their backyards," Bondrup-Nielsen said. "This could be 640 acres in size."
Bondrup-Nielsen says an airpark doesn't fit with the Kings 2050 plan or the province's stance not to develop prime agricultural land and believes it could have far-reaching consequences.
"This would impact the food sector for all of Nova Scotia," he said. "We're concerned they essentially want to pave prime farmland."
That's not something Valley residents need to be concerned about, said Squires.
"We have made a firm commitment that any land we take out of cultivation, there will be new land not currently in use that we put back in to cultivate within a year or two so no usable land will be lost," he said. "We're not looking to railroad anything."
Squires says the KAS has put in a request to present the proposal to council, but has not yet been given a date to do so.
He adds that the Waterville Airport Co-Operative would prefer not to relocate at all, but that appears unlikely with county council's commitment to sell the current site to Michelin for future use.
North East Kings Citizens Group contacting council
Bondrup-Nielsen has sent a letter to county council on behalf of the North East Kings Citizens Group, asking that the county move forward with the cost benefit analysis of moving Waterville Airport and calling on the airport co-op to withdraw this proposal until the study is complete.
The North East Kings group also asks county council to "keep Waterville Airport open until this process is complete and so long as Michelin makes no firm commitment to an expansion requiring airport land." That proposal, first suggested last month by councillors Pauline Raven, Emma Van Rooyen and Patricia Bishop, was defeated in a vote by council.
The North East Kings group intends to attend the council meeting June 3, where it's expected the terms of reference for the business case study will be discussed.

I have an 06' STi and was looking at a four point bolt in cage for track use (just track days, autocross...) but I still want to keep the functionality of the rear seat. i.e. If I get into a wreck on the street, and someone is back there, I don't want them to lose they're head on that harness bar section... Also, to install it, do I have the cut the side of the seats or anything?
Here is the cage that I'm looking at:

Raisin and Pine Nut Agrodolce
Agrodolce is the term for any Italian sweet-and-sour sauce made with vinegar and sugar. This superchunky version with golden raisins, red grapes and toasted pine nuts is more like a compote and is fantastic with the spice-roasted chicken.

Australians are risking their health by relying on unreliable online information to self-diagnose medical conditions, potentially causing them to dismiss serious symptoms or seek inappropriate treatments.
International Bupa Health Pulse* research has found that of the nearly 80% of Australians who admitted to going online for health information, nearly half (47%) look for information to make a self-diagnosis while 70% use the internet to research medicines.
Australians also have a desire to use online sources to help them manage their own health, with 61% of respondents supportive of having access to a secure internet site where they can access their own medical records and test results online.
Dr Christine Bennett, Chief Medical Officer of Bupa Australia, said the results highlight the importance of people accessing online information from high-quality, credible resources.
"While the internet undoubtedly provides people with greater access to resources, it's essential that they access high-quality websites and content to empower them to make informed decisions about their health," she said.
"A simple search for the same symptom can often generate quite different diagnoses across different websites, which may result in people dismissing serious symptoms or commencing inappropriate treatments," Bennett said.
Bupa Health Pulse used a search engine to look-up a number of different symptoms. The risks of self-diagnosing online were clear – entering one symptom led to three different websites, providing very different results:
|Potential health conditions suggested by different websites for one symptom
|Website A
|Website B
|Website C
|Pins and needles
|Vitamin B12 deficiency
|Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
|Stomach cramps
|Heart disease or angina
|Common cold
|Ear infection
|Brain abscess
|Blurred vision
|Contact dermatitis
|Psoriasis or eczema

Someday, historians will wonder why the highest officials in the Bush Justice Department believed they could inflict heavy-handed political abuse on federal prosecutors—and get away with it. The punishment of the eight dismissed U.S. attorneys betrays a strong sense of impunity in the White House, as if the president and his aides assumed nobody would complain about these outrages or attempt to hold them accountable. The precedent for their misconduct was set long ago.
There was once another Republican prosecutor who insisted on behaving professionally instead of obeying partisan hints from the White House. His name was Charles A. Banks, and his story begins in the summer of 1992, as the presidential contest entered its final months, with Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton leading incumbent President George H.W. Bush.
Banks had already served for five years as the U.S. attorney in Little Rock. As an active Republican who had run for Congress and still aspired to higher office, he counted Clinton among his political adversaries. The first President Bush had recently selected him as a potential nominee for the federal bench. So nothing could have better served Banks' personal interests than a chance to stop the Clintons and preserve the Bush presidency.
In September 1992, a Republican activist employed by the Resolution Trust Corporation provided that opportunity by fabricating a criminal referral naming the Clintons as witnesses in a case against the Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan Association (the small Arkansas savings and loan owned by Whitewater partner and Clinton friend James McDougal). The referral prepared by L. Jean Lewis lacked merit—as determined by Banks and the top FBI agent in his office—but she commenced a crusade for action against the hated Clintons. The FBI repeatedly rejected or ignored her crankish entreaties.
Eventually, however, officials in Washington heard whispers about the Lewis referral—a document that might save the president from defeat in November by smearing the Clintons as participants in a sweetheart land deal.
That fall, Edith Holiday, secretary to the Bush Cabinet, asked Attorney General William Barr whether he knew anything about such a referral. Although Barr knew nothing, he quickly sent an inquiry to the FBI. Weeks later, the president's counsel, C. Boyden Gray, posed a similar improper question to a top Resolution Trust Corp. official.
Those queries and hints from above created intense pressure on Banks to act on the Lewis referral despite his opinion, shared by the FBI, that her work was sloppy and biased. After Barr ordered him to act on the referral no later than two weeks before Election Day, he replied with a roar of conscience.
"I know that in investigations of this type," Banks wrote in a remarkable memo to his boss, "the first steps ... will lead to media and public inquiries of matters that are subject to absolute privacy. Even media questions about such an investigation in today's modern political climate all too often publicly purport to 'legitimize what can't be proven ... .'
"I must opine that after such a lapse of time, the insistence for urgency in this case appears to suggest an intentional or unintentional attempt to intervene into the political process of the upcoming presidential election ... .
"For me personally to participate in an investigation that I know will or could easily lead to the above scenario ... is inappropriate. I believe it amounts to prosecutorial misconduct and violates the most basic fundamental rule of Department of Justice policy."
The Whitewater case didn't save the first President Bush, although it was later revived as a costly pseudo-scandal. More pertinent today is what happened to Banks and Lewis—and the U.S. attorney's office in Little Rock.
The honest Banks forfeited his promised judgeship and returned to private practice with his political career ended. The incompetent Lewis appeared before the Senate Whitewater Committee, where she lied repeatedly before "fainting" under examination by the Democratic counsel. She then disappeared from public view until 2003, when the White House rewarded her with an important federal job. Those who had observed Lewis in action were astonished when she was named chief of staff to the Pentagon inspector general, at a salary of $118,000 a year.
An ugly sequel occurred last December, when the Justice Department ousted H.E. "Bud" Cummins III—another upstanding and competent Republican prosecutor in Little Rock—so a crony of Karl Rove could replace him in the U.S. attorney's office.
Was this what George W. Bush meant when he promised to return "integrity" to the Oval Office?

The Utah State Charter School Board will recommend that the Utah Board of Education approve seven new charter schools plus enrollment and grade additions for nine existing schools.
The changes will create space within the public charter school system for 7,216 additional students.
The charter school board had received requests that would have created space for 9,000 students, but it is restricted by law from approving growth exceeding 1.4 percent of the previous year's public school enrollment, which meant it could approve requests for no more than 7,300 students.
"There are a limited number of seats, and schools are competing for those," board chairwoman Julie Adamic said.
New charter schools recommended for approval would open for the 2009-2010 school year. They include:
* American Preparatory Academy satellite: Based in Draper, APA would build a campus, likely in South Salt Lake, to serve K-9 and enroll 570 students.
* Vista at Entrada: Based in St. George's Washington School District, it would serve K-8 and enroll 675 students.
* Open High School of Utah: This would be a statewide online high school.
* Hawthorn Academy: Based in the Jordan School District, it would serve K-8 with an enrollment of 675 students.
* The Early Light Academy: Based in the Jordan School District, it would serve K-9 and enroll 750 students.
* Excelsior Academy: The first charter school based in the Tooele School District, it would serve K-8 and enroll 648 students.
* Oquirrh Mountain Charter: Based in the Davis School District, it would serve K-9 and enroll 720 students.
Charter schools that will be allowed to expand include Venture Academy, Ogden; Syracuse Arts; Ogden Preparatory Academy; Entheos Academy, Kearns; C.S. Lewis Academy, Santaquin; Dual Immersion Academy, Salt Lake City; Soldier Hollow, Midway; Legacy Preparatory Academy, North Salt Lake; and Utah Virtual Academy, a statewide online school.

/// Oracle Looks to Conquer the Cloud as OpenWorld Conference Gets Underway
As conferences go, Oracle's OpenWorld is pretty big. It literally stops traffic. It's one of a handful of events that not only fills San Francisco's Moscone convention center but actually spills into the streets, blocking downtown's Howard Street and earning the ire of the local drivers. The company says it expects to see 50,000 attendees this year, and is presenting more than 2,500 sessions presented by more than 3,500 speakers across 14 individual venues. And forget about booking a hotel room in San Francisco this week: People attending OpenWorld have booked nearly 98,000 hotel nights. So what's on the agenda ? Expect to hear a lot about the cloud. Oracle's latest update to its core database software, known as 12c will be unveiled. It's the first major revision to Oracle's database software in about five years. The "c" naturally stands for cloud, which Oracle is going to be embracing in a significant way at this event. The speeches kick off Sunday night with the first of two keynotes from Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Co-President and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd is speaking twice as well, once on Monday and again on Thursday. Oracle is likely to continue to challenge the notion that it's on the defensive from companies like Salesforce.com. Ellison has publicly disparaged Salesforce and another cloud-based software company Workday, both of which compete with directly with Oracle. Salesforce (whose recent Dreamforce conference also blocked traffic) has built what's forecast to be a $3 billion annual business selling customer relationship software that runs in the cloud, and its CEO Marc Benioff is a former Oracle exec and Ellison protégé. Workday, due for a $400 initial public offering soon , is run by Aneel Bhusri and Dave Duffield, the founders of PeopleSoft, a company Oracle acquired in a hostile takeover. It offers a breed of software known as human capital management software used by HR departments at big companies
