KFAI's Morning Blend presented a collection of opinions on the marriage bill approved on Thursday by the Minnesota House. Christina Cerruti talked with people outside the House Chamber.
This is National School Choice week, organized to promote the idea that in many places around the country, especially Minnesota, students and their families have some flexibility in where they get their education.
Minnesota Online High School announced last week that it has received national accreditation by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement. That makes it one of two accredited online charter schools in Minnesota.
The Children's Defense Fund recently put out their 2013 Child Well-Being report. The report ranks the well-being of children in all 50 U.S. states based on health care, education and many other factors. The Report ranks Minnesota at number 4 on the list. Elaine Cunningham the Interim Director of Children's Defense Fund Minnesota and Stephanie Hogenson, the organization's outreach specialist recently spoke with KFAI's Terry Carter on the Morning Blend. Terry asked the question… What are we doing right?
Former Minnesota State Supreme Court Chief Justice Eric Magnuson, spoke with KFAI's Rico Morales about a task force report on the Minnesota State Sex Offender Program. The task force report and a federal judge's ruling have created a sense of urgency for the Minnesota Legislature to address the way Minnesota treats sex offenders who have completed their prison sentences, but are considered too dangerous to release.
May 24th is Independence Day in the African nation of Eritrea. Twenty four years ago Eritrea ended a long war with neighboring Ethiopia to gain its self-determination.
Labor Day means teachers and students are returning to school.
Last May, the teacher's union, Education Minnesota, named a new "Teacher of the Year." There were well over 100 candidates for the honor from the ranks of the 70 thousand member union.
The winner was Thomas Rademacher, who teachers English at the Fine Arts Interdisciplinary Resources School in Downtown Minneapolis.
An American citizen who graduated from the University of Minnesota is being held in prison in the United Arab Emirates for doing something that seems inconsequential in the United States – Shez Cassim posted a satirical video to You Tube. For that act, he's been in jail since last April.
KFAI's Christina Cerruti reports that Cassim's family and Human Rights activists have called for his release, citing human rights treaties adopted by the United Nations.
The Upper Midwest Chapter of the National Association of Minority Contractors will do a makeover on a North Minneapolis home this weekend.
During the recent economic downturn, people in the construction industry suffered. But now that there are some encouraging economic signs, major building projects have sprung up in Minneapolis and St. Paul. In the midst of this new activity, the Upper Midwest Chapter of the National Association of Minority Contractors is looking forward with optimism and planning an annual charity makeover vent.
Earlier this year, Minnesota United soccer fans in Minneapolis rejoiced at the prospect of a Major League Soccer stadium slated for a site near the North Loop. However, team owner Bill McGuire has recently begun looking elsewhere as Minneapolis city officials have been so far unwilling to offer tax breaks similar to what were offered to the Vikings. KFAI's Ryan Dawes spoke with soccer writer and podcaster Wes Burdine, who's covered these developments for Northern Pitch and the

So That's What it's Like to Live in a Paper City
Man, HBO throws one swellegant party: Last night at the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station, the network screened the first episode of the upcoming season of Entourage, but not before lubricating the invite-only crowd with as much Grey Goose as they--OK, we--could swallow, with only a few nibbles being passed around to soak up all the booze, of which there were three flavors. (Gotta admit: The vanilla vodka served with ginger ale is outta this world; ask the missus, who is, as she put it moments ago, "sliding fast" during her took-me-by-surprise hungover afternoon.) The whole thing had a decidedly Paper City vibe, with toned models showing off the latest in overpriced Stanley Korshak fashions for people who think Urban Outfitters is too Gap-py, phony paparazzi snapping pics of peeps strolling down the red carpet and many male guests wearing tees tighter than Aquaman's costume.
Speaking of which--and isn't that why we're here?--the third-season premiere of Entourage , which debuts June 11 at 9 p.m. C.S.T., is pretty stellar as Vinnie tries to convince his Ma to come to Hollywood for the premiere of Aquaman, Ari tries to keep his wife off his ass about bouncing checks and James Woods confronts Drama and Turtle about missing premiere tix. There was a rumor some of the cast was gonna show at last night's shindig, but no such luck; more likely some of the fellas will show in Dallas in August for the wrap-up party, of which there will only be a handful in paper cities across the country. Back now to a life less glamorous. --Robert Wilonsky

Should Couples Keep Their Financial Assets Separate?
Money. It has been cited time and again in studies and by experts as a big source of marital conflict and divorce—even in households where there's plenty of it.
Part of the problem is that many people have deeply held beliefs about the purpose of money and how it should be used, and their beliefs don't always match up with those of a partner. In other cases, money becomes an issue of control—perhaps because one spouse significantly out-earns the other or is the only one working outside of the home.

Given the fact that money is such a hot-button issue in relationships, one can't help but wonder: Are married couples better off keeping at least some of their finances separate?
On one side are those who say many couples need separate bank accounts to maintain harmony in their relationship. They believe that if each spouse has complete control over a certain portion of family funds, they will be less likely to engage in the kinds of petty money fights that tear couples apart.
Others believe that having separate accounts simply opens the door to selfishness. Spouses have to put the "team" before themselves, they say, and one of the best ways to do that is for couples to combine all of their assets and liabilities.
Kelley Long, a certified public accountant and financial planner, argues that separate accounts are good for a marriage because they help prevent clashes over differences in spending styles. Holly Johnson, co-founder and author of the Club Thrifty personal-finance blog, says separate accounts do nothing to foster financial teamwork and could be a prelude to marital problems yet to come.
Yes: It Helps Keep Marital Peace Financially—And Emotionally
By Kelley Long
Some people believe that couples who keep their finances separate after marriage are setting themselves up for trouble.
I think the exact opposite is true: that many couples need to have separate accounts to maintain financial and emotional harmony in their relationships.
With the average age of first marriage in the U.S. now about 27, according to an analysis of Census data by the Pew Research Center, many people already have had five years or more of total financial independence before saying "I do." Marriage is the joining of two lives and forsaking all others, but it isn't the forsaking of one's separate identity, and it certainly isn't the forsaking of premarital money habits and mind-sets.
That is why even if a couple has a joint account from which household bills are paid, each spouse needs a certain amount of money over which they have complete control. This gives each partner a sense of autonomy and financial independence, potentially saving them from endless hours of petty money fights.
No Secrets
Money arguments crop up most often in relationships where a "spender" marries a "saver." Separate accounts allow the saver to scrimp and penny-pinch without resentment from the spender, who also will feel less guilt or anxiety about splurges. This isn't a sign of marital problems to come. It is simply an acknowledgment of a fundamental difference in money attitudes, much like couples have different religious views yet find a way to make it work for them.
That said, money secrets have no place in a marriage, and couples should have a shared household budget and financial goals. If each person has a clearly defined idea of how his or her saving or spending will aid in the achievement of the family's goals, both people feel more empowered and responsible for their choices.
Communication is key. Couples need to agree on how much each will contribute to shared household expenses and savings. They also need a set of ground rules, such as no new credit-card debt and a dollar amount that can't be spent without a spouse's input—say, buying a new car.
The arrival of children can add a new level of complexity for couples with separate finances. But if both spouses are happy with the way they handle other shared expenses, dividing up the costs associated with kids shouldn't be a problem.
Flying Solo
One of the biggest reasons I advocate separate accounts is the fact that at some point more than half of married people will become financially independent again—not only because of divorce but also due to an unexpected death.
Losing a partner can be devastating enough without having to relearn how to manage daily finances. Having separate accounts helps ensure that both spouses remain financially literate and able to manage money on their own if need be.
The point of separate accounts isn't to keep couples from sharing and growing together. It is to remove a barrier to happiness in marriage. I've yet to meet a couple who says they've stayed together because they combined their money, but I've met plenty who attribute their marital success to separate accounts.

No: Combining Accounts Helps Build Trust and Teamwork
By Holly Johnson
There are many advantages to combining financial assets with a spouse, and one of the biggest has nothing to do with actual money at all: It is the trust and teamwork that's built when a couple discusses and compromises on an issue so integral to their marriage.
In an ideal world, couples who marry are combining two lives into one. They are making the commitment to succeed or fail together. Holding their assets and liabilities together serves to bind a couple to their common goals, forcing them to look beyond their personal wants and needs to see what is best for their family, their "team."
Couples who pool their resources learn to compromise on simple issues like who pays the bills and balances the checkbook, so that they can agree on more complex ideas like budgeting, entertainment spending and retirement savings. And when issues pop up, as they always do, couples with combined finances tackle them together.
Sign of Trouble?
Having combined finances makes even more sense when children arrive. The costs of raising a child can be staggering without having to haggle over who will pay for diapers or day care. When all responsibilities are held jointly, spouses are less likely to argue over things like soccer lessons or the cost of college. It makes perfect sense: A child brought into the world by two parents should be the equal responsibility of those two parents, financially and otherwise.
Couples who keep their finances separate may tell you that they do it because they trust one another or because they like to maintain some level of autonomy within their relationship. Maybe it's just what they have always done or perhaps they see it as a way to keep the peace.
Having separate "allowances" may defuse money spats to some extent, but the opportunity still exists for spouses to resent what the other is doing with is or her funds. The reality is, married couples who separate their finances usually do so because they cannot fundamentally agree on how the family funds should be spent, a prelude to marital problems yet to come.
Staying Accountable
That said, having combined accounts doesn't mean one spouse makes all the financial decisions, while the other is left in the dark. Being part of a team means each person contributes. As long as both spouses remain actively involved in managing the day-to-day household finances, neither risks becoming financially illiterate.
My husband and I have always had joint finances, even though he brought $20,000 of student-loan debt into our marriage. I never saw it as "his debt." I saw it as ours. How could I rationalize benefiting from his high-paying job without sharing the burden of the schooling that got us there in the first place?
Having joint accounts hasn't been the source of stress or contempt that "separate-finance apologists" might argue. Instead, it has forced us to overcome small issues and brought us closer together. The fact that we pool all of our resources has kept us accountable to each other, and in turn, to the goals we've decided on as a family.
The danger in separate accounts is that it eliminates the element of financial teamwork—opening the door to the self-indulgence of one.

Stayed here three times and each time was problematic. The first time, the heat in our room was unregulated; very uncomfortable.
The second time, we reserved a suite with two double beds. When we arrived we had a room with one King bed. The manager told us the reservation for double beds was a "preference." Funny thing though, our reservation clearly stated double beds. Guess unambiguous language doesn't mean much here. I ended up sleeping on the couch, my four year old on a roll-a-way and my two daughters in the bed.
Strike three, check-in is supposed to be at 3 PM. We arrived at 3:20PM. Room wasn't ready. We had to wait 30 minutes for the room to be cleaned.

Rothbury & Coquetdale History Society
Who we are
Formed over 40 years ago, the History Society offers members and visitors an insight into the rich history of the area all year round.
During the summer months, the Society gets out and about with visits to historical sites. From September through to April, each monthly meeting in Rothbury's Jubilee Hall has a guest speaker on a national historical subject.
Whenever possible, these talks have a North-East connection, which is not difficult with such a wealth of subjects to choose from: The Roman Wall, Lindisfarne, border reivers and Scottish incursions, Lord Armstrong and Cragside, Coal Mining and Ship building, Harry Hotspur and the Percys, Admiral Collingwood and Thomas Bewick, Capability Brown and Emily Davison - to name but a few!
What we do
The History Society meets in Rothbury's Jubilee Hall at 7pm (for 7.30) on the third Friday of the month, from September through to April. Non-members are always welcome at each meeting for £2, whilst annual membership (which includes all 8 lectures/meetings) is £8.
The current season's schedule is listed on the right.
Refreshments are available, with the December meeting including a Christmas wine and cake buffet. We also have a monthly e-mail newsletter, and are regularly featured in the Northumberland Gazette.
During the season we have about 70 regular attending members and visitors, with well over 150 guests over the season.
And even though there are no meetings in the summer moths, the society continues with visits to historical sites.

Here's a big shout-out to the two thoughtful drivers involved in a little ding on Leighton Road in Causeway Bay the other day.
I was on a bus half a dozen blocks away, rushing to work. I'm rarely late, but thanks to your understanding of road regulations, you both decided after the 'impact' - and I use that word in its loosest sense - to turn off your engines where they stood and call the police, causing delays for me and hundreds of other people travelling behind.
Now, I'm no expert on Hong Kong driving, nor have I ever wanted to own a car in this public-transport-friendly city (our congested roads, high registration fees and ludicrous parking costs say a lot about the sort of people who insist on buying wheels), but when the road finally cleared and my bus drove past your BMW and Mazda, which police had ordered to the kerb, I realised that you were both exceptional drivers. Dare I say that you are so special, it's understandable why you can think of nobody but yourselves.
I have to admit the Transport Department's road guidelines are a little hazy on the subject. If a driver hits a person or animal, they should stop where the accident occurred and call the emergency services. If your car breaks down, pull to the side of the road. Minor accidents aren't mentioned, but I'm assuming this is where common sense should take over. A dent in a bumper or side panel is hardly a serious matter - particularly not on a winding street with one or two lanes.
Dear drivers: next time you engage in dodgem-car practice on our streets and get struck by a little road rage, get out, quickly take a picture with your iPhone, swap personal details with your fellow bumpee, then either pull over to the kerb or get the heck out of there.
You and your insurance claims are of no interest to me and the hundreds of other people trying to get somewhere.

It was published in 1832 (Edo Period) as the first in Hokusai's series 36 Views of Mount Fuji and is his most famous work. --Wikipedia
Thanks for taking an interest in my art!
Thanks for taking an interest in my art!
I have a restaurant that's sumo themed. Can I get a full resize with your name and info attached? PM me please! sumos.co that's my restaurant
They should totally make this a real sport.
beautiful and funny at the same time
This is genius!
haha that is actually quite funny
I can't stop giggling at this, and I love Hokusai.
very very happiness. . .
This is marvelous. Kudos.
Thanks. Not too blasphemous I hope (I saw that you like Hokusai).
Indeed I do, and no, not too much so at all. It cracked me up. Hokusai is my favorite artist of all time.
Not least-wise because he refused to clean house... He'd just move instead!
Not least-wise because he refused to clean house... He'd just move instead!
Didn't know that about him. I vaguely remember seeing a film about him, which must have been distributed in the US since it had subtitles.
Yep, subtitles. I've got no room to criticize other Americans because I speak no other languages myself, but yeah I know what you mean. It's a kind of rarity here when someone speaks another language. They usually get it from one of their parents.
will there ever be a Sumo Surfers 2: Toyko Moon?
Probably not. Took me a long time to figure where to place these sumo guys.
thought that might have been the case....(sigh)since they're known for their over-all displacement of relative space within their immediate vicinity ...i understand they also have very healthy appetites.
However, there is currently a huge scandal in the sumo world (the upcoming tournament was canceled!), so something may occur to me.
Hey! My history teacher has this picture (well... not exactly THIS one) in her classroom! XD
I'm sure not exactly.
As I wrote in the comments, it's Hokusai's most famous print.

It's yours.
You make me a happy person.
Tell me what you like to have from me.
Tell me what you like to have from me.
Anything small, post card size or less. I don't know what you're willing to trade, but your choice is fine.
haha awsome
Too good.
What's so funny with this one, is that I had conceived of another design that included the sumo-tori and the wave, could see it clearly, but when actually executed, it was just boring; this simpler version arise out of it though.

Its light bronze color and distinctly hoppy flavor have made it a favorite in St. Paul, Minneapolis and the rest of the Upper Midwest ever since we first brewed it back in 1986.

The Star Saber XC-01 starfighter was an experimental fighter produced by Republic Fleet Systems and tested by the Jedi during the Great Sith War.
Star Saber XC-01 starfighter had a long body with two wings protruding from the narrow hull, and two tail-planes fitted to the tail of the craft above the two engines. The Star Saber was equipped with deflector shields and two heavy blaster cannons that were significant improvements over the other fighter's of that era. A single-seat craft, with only 45 kilograms of cargo capacity, had it's flaws. While the Star Saber was quite fast at sublight speed, the craft was ungainly and not nearly as maneuverable as other fighters of its period.
During the Great Sith War, the Galactic Republic faced a crisis in the form of the Krath, a Sith cult from the Empress Teta system. After taking control of the system by means of a coup, the Krath turned their attention on the larger Galaxy. During their attacks on Republic capital ships, swarms of Krath CX-133 Chaos fighters were willing to sacrifice themselves by crashing into enemy vessels. The Star Saber XC-01 was developed by Republic Fleet Systems to answer the threat posed by such attacks, creating a craft capable of attaining high velocity in seconds, with more advanced weaponry than other fighter's of that era. The answer came in the form of the Star Saber XC-01, hopes were however dashed when the craft's low maneuverability-to-speed ratio and slow control stick reaction quickly gained them a reputation as dangerous and unwieldy.
Despite its obvious design flaw, the Star Saber XC-01 was nonetheless mass-produced by Republic Fleet Systems and saw action with the Republic Navy at war with the Sith under the command of Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun. Although the Chaos fighters used by them were capable of flying circles around Star Sabers, the flaws in the design were never corrected. The Galactic Republic eventually made the Star Saber available for sale in the civilian market in order to recoup losses associated with their development. However, once Republic Fleet Systems developed the Aurek-class tactical strikefighter, the Star Saber was quickly abandoned.

The course introduces students to a micro-founded model of the global monetary system. The model is employed to assess the roles of money, banking, and central banking in the management of inflation, employment, and financial stability. Interest rates, the international exchange rate, the trade balance, and international capital flows are explored in terms of the model. The model is used to address controversial issues in international trade and financial relations, as well as current macroeconomic stabilization problems in China, the Euro area, the United States, and elsewhere. Theoretical points are illustrated with references to historical central bank practices from around the world in recent decades. The course concludes with student briefings on current central bank policies from around the world.

C&S Wholesale to Deploy Cold Chain Monitoring System
C&S Wholesale Grocers, of Keene, N.H., plans to deploy a new logistics management solution for better cold chain visibility and control of its products.
C&S Wholesale Grocers, of Keene, N.H., plans to deploy a new logistics management solution for better cold chain visibility and control of its products.
The wholesaler will use New Hartford, Conn.-based PAR Technology Corp.'s RT-200 monitoring solution, which will allow C&S constant real-time visibility and remote control of its refrigerated trailers while also affording for better yields in asset utilization and fuel savings, according to the vendor. C&S expects the integration of this cellular-based solution to optimize the protection of perishable products while in transit.
"Par Logistics is pushing the technological envelope and advancing the refrigerated transportation industry forward with their solutions," said Joe Casey, president of Carrier of Southern New England, a channel partner of Par that will install and maintain the solution. "Food safety and advanced command and control of asset operations are what all future cold chain managers will want and need."
C&S distributes food to supermarkets, retail stores, and military bases across the country, representing approximately 4,600 stores from more than 50 locations in 11 states. Among its customers are Stop & Shop, Giant-Carlisle, Giant-Landover, Shaw's, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. (A&P), Ralphs, Safeway and Target.

End Abuse Long Beach: Remove Alyce LaViolette from their guest speakers
Alyce LaViolette should no longer be given the opportunity to speak at abuse seminars based on her testimony in The State vs. Jodi Arias Murder trial. In her testimony, she named Travis Alexander as an abuser without ever having met him. This man was stabbed over two dozen times, shot in the head and nearly decapitated by Jodi Arias slitting his throat. Based on the words of admitted liar and killer, Jodi Arias, Ms. LaViolette has tarnished the reputation of Travis Alexander in front of his grieving family. Her inability to see that the murder victim was also the victim of other abuse by Jodi Arias should disqualify her from speaking on the subject of domestic violence indefinitely.

Formed in Los Angeles, California, in the early 80s, Cock Robin were one of several contemporary US bands who failed to break into the mainstream with their melodic and finely crafted songs. Fronted by songwriter Peter Kingsbery and co-vocalist Anna LaCazio, Clive Wright and Louis Malino III completed the line-up for their self-titled debut on CBS Records, produced by Steve Hillage. The Promise You Made became their only UK hit, reaching number 28, while When Your Heart Is Weak could only reach number 35 in the US charts. Malino and Wright then left the band, although Wright continued to be credited as a session musician on subsequent releases. Carrying on, Kingsbery and LaCazio completed After Here, Through Midland, featuring Don Gehmans (John Mellencamp) production work. Just Around The Corner was a minor hit in Europe where the band had begun to build a steady fanbase. Their final album was 1989s First Love/Last...

The Offbeat Couple:
Brittany and Joel have been married for 6 years. They are blessed with three boys, Liam, Levi, and Lucas, and a dog (or a dragon) depending on what their children have decided she is today. They currently reside in Illinois. You can read more about their story at, Almost Indian Wife.
What makes your marriage offbeat?
My husband and I come from two completely different backgrounds. He is East Indian and his family was born and raised in India. He lived in India for part of his childhood, but spent most of his life in the Midwest. My family is from the Pacific Northwest and we moved around a lot with my dad's job. We both grew up with different traditions and customs. While we were raised very differently, we are now raising our family using both cultures as an example.
What made you end up in an interculturalmarriage?
I don't think I ever made a conscious decision to marry someone with a different culture. It happened naturally and while we were dating we realized having an intercultural relationship would make things more difficult, but that was nothing compared to how special it would make our relationship and family. We knew the hardships would be outweighed by how much we loved each other. I think having two cultures in one relationship makes us very unique and has blessed our family.
Tell us about the wedding. Did your different cultural background affect how you planned the wedding?
My husband and I had an American and Indian wedding. We tried our best to incorporate both culture's traditions throughout the wedding ceremony and reception.
Before the wedding we had two engagement ceremonies. One of those was called a nalugu. This ceremony was a time for our friends and family to give us marriage advice and wish us well. While they shared their advice, they rubbed a turmeric paste onto my husband. The reason for this is to lighten your skin color and essentially give you a great skin treatment before the wedding.
Our ceremony was mainly traditional American with a few Indian traditions sprinkled in. A typical American ceremony is pretty short, maybe thirty-forty minutes. Our ceremony was an hour and a half. It also ran on "Indian time" which meant we started about two hours late. During the ceremony, I wore a typical American wedding dress. This was the one American tradition I strongly wanted. What little American girl doesn't dream about the pretty white dress?
We had multiple people, in addition to our Pastor, give messages and blessings during the ceremony. In addition to the wedding ring, my husband also gave me a thali. A thali is a necklace that my husband gave me signifying the commitment we made to each other. After my husband tied it around my neck, with three knots, we were married. This necklace is just as special to me as my wedding ring.
Then we transitioned into the reception. Our reception was mainly Indian, so I changed into a beautiful red sari and my husband into a handsome kurta. We had a lot of entertainment during the night. Some of our friends and family put on different dance numbers for us during dinner. It was great! Then we ended the night on the dance floor, dancing to American and Bollywood music.
What are your biggest challenges (as an intercultural/interracial couple) and how do you solve them?
I would say expectations. We all have expectations of each other. The hard part has been trying to change them and not expect the other one to do what a traditional Indian or American would do.
We're still working on this one. Usually we end up talking after something happens. I'd love to say we have it all figured out and figure it out before things happen, but that's usually not the case. We figure it out as we go.
Communication is the only way to deal with it. We have to be open and willing to talk with each other so we can know where we're both coming from. Sometimes, we don't realize we're putting those expectations on each other so it's nice to always keep open lines of communication.
What compromises are required in order to make your marriage work?
I would definitely say location is one of them. We recently decided to move to Illinois to be closer to my husband's family. We have three children and have always said we would end up settling down by his family. We are raising our children in a predominantly American culture. If we want them to be exposed to Indian culture, we have to be surrounded by it. We now live by my husband's family and there is a huge Indian community here as well.
Did you ever encounter people who frown upon interracial marriage? How did you deal with them?
We've had people give us looks. Usually people don't go out of their way to say anything to us. I remember one time my husband and I were together with our kids. We were getting groceries at a local supermarket. I looked next to us and saw an Indian couple. The wife was glaring at me. I didn't understand in the moment why she was so angry. This has happened multiple times since we've been married.
Some people still don't like the idea of interracial marriages. They think that Indians should marry Indians and so on. I've even gotten emails from readers saying that it's not fair for Americans to come in and steal good Indian men from them. There's not much you can do other than join with other people in interracial relationships and share our stories. I want people to see how amazing intercultural relationships are.
How did your in-laws and extended families from each side react to your interracial marriage?
Overall, I think both of our families have been very encouraging and accepting of our relationship. The idea of an American daughter in law or an Indian son in law hasn't ever angered anyone. While the idea doesn't bother anyone, we have seen some of them struggle with the cultural identity.
It's been a struggle at times for family members to remember they can't expect us to behave the way their culture dictates. When we fail to do something the traditional daughter/son in law would or wouldn't do, we have been criticized. It turns into a matter of us being "disrespectful" rather than us doing what we have been raised to do. This can range from not listening to people older than us, overstepping boundaries and telling younger siblings what to do, etc.
What are the benefits of an intercultural/interracial marriage?
One of the biggest benefits I have seen is for our children. Our kids are blessed with two vibrant cultures. When you are exposed to two different ways of life, you become more open. Instead of being stuck in your own way, you are open to different ways of doing things. I think our relationship has helped us to be open to different cultures and not let race ever be a factor.
What are the things that you learned about each other's culture? How does learning about each other culture benefit your relationship?
I have learned so much from Indian culture. One thing is the importance of family. Family is extremely important in Indian culture. That is why you see a lot of joint families. They don't separate and create boundaries after they turn eighteen. Instead they are always involved in each other's lives. They are a unit that always steps in when needed. Older siblings help raise younger siblings, parents always share their wisdom, kids take care of their parents, friends are your family, etc. I love it.
I asked my husband what he has learned from my culture and this is what he said. "One of the big things that I learned is how special holidays are. In my family holidays were special, but didn't have the same sentimental meaning. With my wife and her family, Christmas took on a whole new emphasis with so many traditions that were passed down. In my family, we didn't really have "traditions." Being second generation, my parents were trying to learn what the holidays were and creating some kind of tradition. My wife and her family had a rich history of traditions that were passed down and held together through generations."
Does cultural difference affect how you raise and discipline your child/ren? In what way?
Definitely! Both of our families raise and discipline kids very differently. For example, my family tends to stick to disciplining their own kids. While they will tell them no and correct them, there is a line. They know how far we want each other to go and let the parents be the parents. My husband's family is very involved. There is no line. That line doesn't exist in Indian families. Family members can all come in and correct and discipline each other's kids. The line doesn't matter because they raise the kids together.
What's your favorite way of spending time together?
My husband travels for work a lot. Right now, my favorite thing is to go out as a family. It's very simple, but I love spending time together. Last week, this meant letting the kids drive their little kid's car to the park and we spent the evening looking for fireflies. While the kids play, we can catch up and spend time together.
What are your secrets in keeping the romance alive?
We try very hard to go out on date nights regularly. When we're out we don't talk about the kids, just each other. We love our children very much and they need us to have a strong marriage. For this reason, we need our alone time. As we've had more kids and they've started to get a little older, we're now able to spend a night at a hotel periodically. Even if it's in the same town as the kids, it's great because we get a little mini vacation to spoil each other.
What advice would you give to those who are planning for or are new to an interracial/interfaith marriage?
Interracial marriages are beautiful and amazing. Like any other relationship, they require hard work. The biggest piece of advice I can share is you need to communicate. I can look back on my husband and my disagreements and they were usually due to a lack of communication.
Interracial relationships require you both to do things differently than you are used to. You have to open up and talk to each other to see what part of your culture you want to bring to your relationship. You also have to figure out how to blend those pieces of your culture together. Communication is one of the most important things in your relationship.

Johannesburg: Leaving little option to the International Cricket Council (ICC) ahead of a crucial meeting, Zimbabwe has refused to play any of its league matches if it was shifted out of the country. The decision of the Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) came hours before ICC's Technical Committee meeting in Cape Town to decide on England's request to shift its Harare match to South Africa on security reasons.
"Certainly we will not be playing any of our six group matches outside the country," Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) chairman Peter Chingoka said. "We will only go to South Africa for the Super Six stage, and if there is to be any other directive then we will use every channel until justice prevails," Chingoka said. England has tabled a formal request to ICC to have its February 13 match against Zimbabwe shifted while Australia has also expressed concerns about playing its match in Bulawayo on February 24.
The other teams of Pool 'A', all scheduled to play one match each in Zimbabwe - India, Pakistan, the Netherlands and Namibia - have said it'll will go ahead with its games. "Zimbabwe was given the rights to host six group matches, and all the teams must honour contractual obligations of the tournament by fulfilling those commitments," Chingoka was quoted as saying in media reports on Thursday.
"We have steered away from political and moral issues to stick to the issue of safety and security for the players and officials. There have been security delegations from the ICC, which has expressed satisfaction at our security modalities for the World Cup." Meanwhile, AFP quoted ZCU chief executive Vincent Hogg as saying in Harare that Zimbabwe would claim points if England pull out of their scheduled match in Harare.
"We expect the technical committee to rule in favour of the Zimbabwe-England match being played according to the schedule," Hogg said. "We believe we have every right to refuse to play any match rearranged in South Africa, and without penalty to ourselves. "We see no reason for any change in their previously stated position. If the England players afterwards then decide they will not come here, that decision will obviously be on moral and political grounds, which the ZCU has not and will not get involved in," Hogg said. "England will then logically have to forfeit the points, whatever their reasons," he said.

Man who found abandoned baby pleads for mother to come forward
The man who found a newborn baby in a black plastic bag in Dublin yesterday has appealed for the mother to come forward.
The Star spoke to the man who made the discovery and while he was still stunned by the chance find, his main thoughts were now for the mother of the baby.
"I know I saved this girl's life, but all I want now is for the mother to come forward," the man told The Star newspaper. "I'm still in shock at what happened. But it is important the mother comes forward and gets whatever helps she needs."
The man only spotted the infant after he pulled into the quiet area off the N7 so that he could take a quick toilet break.
According to the paper, the man heard the cries of the child and went to investigate, and when he realised it was a baby he called the Gardai and wrapped the baby in a coat.
Gardai are also appealing for the mother to come forward.
"Gardaí are concerned for the welfare of the mother of this child and are appealing for her to seek immediate medical treatment and to contact gardaí, who are anxious to reunite her with her baby," said Supt Brendan Connolly.
The child was taken to Tallaght Hospital after being found and is said to be in a stable condition.

The Hotel Zamora Slated to Open in St. Pete Beach, FL
Wednesday May 14th, 2014 - 10:36AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
ST. PETE BEACH, FL—The Hotel Zamora is slated to open here next month, making it St. Pete Beach's first new hotel in more than 20 years, according to the company.
Influenced by the architecture, design and feel of the rocky hills of Zamora, Spain, the waterfront hotel will feature Mediterranean-style rooms and suites with high ceilings, crown molding, arched windows and Spanish-influenced touches in its wooden doorways and artwork.
Built by Tatro Construction with architectural design by Design Styles, the hotel also offers meeting and conference space, a marina with space for seven boats, fresh-water pool, fitness center and access to the Gulf of Mexico's white-sand beaches.
The Hotel Zamora will also introduce Castile, a Spanish-influenced destination restaurant and rooftop lounge, lead by locally renowned Executive Chef Ted Dorsey. Offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, as well as room-service, Castile's locally sourced, seafood-inspired menu will include a large selection of tapas-style dishes, soups, salads and entrees.
Cuba-Fernandez Design, whose portfolio of high-end hospitality design projects includes the St. Regis Resort in Puerto Rico, The Ritz-Carlton in South Beach, and Acqualina Resort in Sunny Isles, Florida, orchestrated the interior design concept of both the hotel and restaurant.
Developers and partners Henry Suarez and Dr. Kiran C. Patel are responsible for The Hotel Zamora, and have been involved in the project since its inception. Patrick Goddard, President & COO of Trust Hospitality, a partner and the operator of the hotel stated, "We are proud to be associated with this hotel, which is certain to become an iconic feature of the Gulf's shoreline. It will be fun to bring change and excitement to this community. The design and development teams have done an incredible job of creating dynamic public areas and we can't wait to show the community and guests what we've been working on."

I took a summer vacation to Alaska. This natural beauty of a state might be our 49th, but it was my 50th. Why all this talk of my summer vacation? Well, Allianz Global Assistance (AGA) just released data earlier this week saying that Americans are spending more on summer vacations this year, topping $100 billion for the first time in the AGA survey's eight-year history. This represents a 12.5% increase over last year.

You and your adventuring companions have spent all day slogging through the dungeon, killing monsters and taking their stuff. What are you going to do with all the loot?
"Gambling," you say? Well, "I'm in!"
The Red Dragon Inn: Gambling? I'm In! includes the rules for nine different gambling games inspired by the world of The Red Dragon Inn, plus the specialised Rogues and Warriors Deck required to play them.
The games in Gambling? I'm In! can be played on their own or they can also be combined with The Red Dragon Inn to replace the usual Rounds of Gambling with actual gambling games!
- The Rogues and Warriors Deck contains 90 cards, which are divided into 6 sets of 15 cards each.
- Each set contains 1 Warrior, 2 Ladies, 3 Bards, 4 Merchants, and 5 Rogues. So, when drawing, you only have a 1-in-15 chance of drawing a Warrior, but a 5-in-15 (or 1-in-3) chance of drawing a Rogue!
- Each set of 15 cards has an animal "suit" associated with it: Hawk, Wolf, Owl, Horse, Wren or Hare.
- In addition, there are 3 optional Dragon Cards, one of each color, which can be used. Each game lists variant rules for using Dragon Cards.
Requires: tokens and some six-sided dice to play.
Contents: 90 card Rogues and Warriors deck, 3 Dragon cards, 5 Grey cards, Rulebook, Special rules for using these games in Red Dragon Inn

Great backpacks! I was wondering if you ever posted a pattern for the little girl's one. My niece would love to have a matching one to her dolly.
- Biz said...
Hi Zimmersgirl!
Yep, there is a pattern for the little girl backpack. It's under my free patterns named "Big Girl Backpack". :)
Happy Crocheting
- Sophia said...
Thanks for such a cute pattern! I have a niece and a friend with AG dolls. Since I'm focusing on handmade gifts for the year, I thought I'd make some cute accessories for their birthdays. :)
- Kim and Mike said...
I made both the little girl's backpack and the little one for her Bitty Baby. I've got to do something to adjust the straps to fit because she's only 3, but she loves it! Check it out on my blog! Thanks for the patterns! I love them!

I recently decided to try writing a plugin to handle some advanced auto-configuration rules for tickets (the "My Ticket Rules" only has a "match any" concept for multiple criteria, and I need a "match all").
However, I cannot find anywhere a definitive listing of how to access ticket-related data (or anything else, really). The help areas just seem to list a few API calls, which is great, but how, for instance, does one learn how to reference the list of CC emails on a ticket? Or any of the other fields in a ticket? I can't locate any reference for accessing the data structures.
I've downloaded a few plugins to try to learn from the source, but again, I can't figure out how the authors managed to find the data references they do use, let alone how to expand to include data that isn't represented in an existing plugin.
So, bottom line: where can I find a reference to the data structures used in Spiceworks so I can access/set these properties in a script?

I found the same "problem" with the ticket assignment... "Match Any" should also have a "Match All" feature.
Nov 29, 2010 at 4:59 UTC
If there seems to be a missing need for "match all" in the ticket rules plug-in interface, I can totally see this as a feature request!
Add it to the list and spice it up - I'll keep an eye on it :)

As brands are increasingly being urged to function as publishers if they want to see a rise in their online popularity, one question is surfacing: How honest can their content be before it causes the demise of their market share?
How much honesty is too much honesty?
Churchill might have once said that "a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on", but he obviously never got to spend 30 seconds on Twitter. The game has changed, and what was once an unofficial prerequisite in journalism, politics, marketing, and other noble professions of our times, has become their curse.
Lie to your audience and, when it backfires (because it will), you'll find yourself wishing you'd been sent to Dante's Inferno instead.
On the other hand, tell the truth-the-whole-truth-and-nothing-but-the-truth and risk your reputation, or end up selling your services or products to the few who are brave enough to stick with you.
Take Hubspot's press release last week on the firing of its CMO, Mike Volpe; you can't deny the organisation's attempt to inform and come clean with its audience (and personally I applaud this approach of letting people know what actually happened). But when it ended up looking like a gossip article you would only come across on TMZ or the Daily Mail, other people started noticing, including Content Marketing Institute's Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose.
The importance of being honest
There is a very fine line between telling the truth and lying, on which journalists and publishers have been attempting to balance for a very long time (admittedly, failing miserably on numerous occasions – even the best ones amongst them).
Scholars, publishers and journalists alike have long been asking themselves: "Is a half-truth still a truth?", "Is a 'small' lie aimed at amplifying the effect of news more acceptable than a truth which would condemn it in latency?", or "How much can we play around with words before the true meaning is altered by the very words themselves?".
In my experience as a journalist and editor, there are no definitive answers to such questions, so the interpretation of philosophical terms like "truth" and "lie" are left in the hands of individual journalists, editors, and publishers (and, of course, their investors and clients).
Marketers, on the other hand, had never had to hassle themselves with such moral dilemmas to the extent they do so nowadays. There had always been a type of "social contract" in place between marketers and audiences, whereby audiences would know in advance that they would be lied to (or, at the very least, that there would be a tad exaggeration around the truth) and marketers would do their best to make audiences ask for more lies.
In the immortal words of Gregory House:
Alongside the social media boom came consumers' access to all kinds of information around brands and their offering, meaning that an unreliable coffee machine could no longer be presented as a ground-breaking technological miracle comparable only to space engineering (although TV ads are still there to nurture this type of blissful ignorance).
Which, in turn, gave birth to another phenomenon: Consumers actively seeking honest and independent content around brands and products.
Cue user reviews.
In a recent article, Graham Charlton at Econsultancy proposed that 61% of customers read online reviews before making a purchase decision, whereas in Nielsen's Global Survey of Trust in Advertising guess which form of advertising rose as the most efficient? That's right – word of mouth. 84% of participants stated that they would take action if a product, service, or brand had been recommended by people they know, followed by 70% who would take action following consumer opinions posted online.
In a word-of-mouth world, how can brands talk about themselves and their offering without risking their reputation (or their profits)?
Lay your cards on the table…
I really hope you're not expecting me to give you a definite answer to the previous question (and trust no one who feels comfortable enough to say "Be 100% honest" or "2% truthful should do").
What I can tell you though, is that marketers and brands need to stop behaving like that girl who wakes up an hour before the guy in order to brush her teeth, apply her makeup, and straighten her hair in time to pretend she just woke up by his side looking more flawless than Kim Kardashian's airbrushed selfies. Because, sooner or later, the guy will wake up in the middle of the night and he won't like the view (true story).
There are countless examples of brands who excel at social media (like Starbucks with @MyStarbucksIdea or Xbox with @XboxSupport), receive positive reviews and have turned members of their audiences into brand ambassadors. It's not because what they offer is perfect, nor because they've never made a mistake. It's because they make their followers feel respected.
Rather than dreading the moment a bad review will appear on a site or on Twitter, brands can do a great job of dealing with it, from apologising and clarifying matters to guiding and compensating their customers.
Don't just go for the apology all the time, as this is probably what your competitors are doing, too. Take a look at this study, which revealed that corporations use the words "sorry", "apology" (or "apologise"), and "regret" on Twitter 8.6, 7.4, and 37.5 times more frequently than individual users (source: here).
What this means is that word is already out there that Twitter can be used as the apology platform. Surely customers are growing tired of receiving a plain "we're sorry" tweet as an answer to their frustration or complaint; brands have to go above and beyond to offer more to their audience than a (free) apology.
To add to the above, use SWOT analysis for the right reasons: Being honest and ruthless with yourself helps you understand your weaknesses before anything else, which in turn helps you plan, anticipate, and improve. Let your weaknesses inform your business strategy, from product development to customer service and marketing strategy, rather than trying to hide them under the carpet.
It's also important to consider how you lay those cards. Laying them is vital, but doing it in the right way is, if you will, vital-er. A recent study by researchers at Dartmouth University found that if someone with a false or unsubstantiated belief is presented with corrective information they're more likely to hold onto their initial ideas even tighter.
Though this is a research focussed on political beliefs, it gives us an insight into how our brains might work in similar occasions: Attack one's illusion and they might reject the blunt truth altogether. Therefore, forcing the truth down someone's neck might not be the best approach, and this is where the old journalistic trick of persuasion comes into play.
… Just keep an ace up your sleeve
Even in the era of overblown communication and socialising, the most important asset that brands still have is what they offer. To put it simply, if your offering is weak, outdated, of low quality, or if, for any other reason, it doesn't resonate with your audience, then you must either reconsider (1) your offering or (2) your audience.
As for those who work in content marketing, the game is on. Acting as publishers means that we need now more than ever before to redefine honesty, trust, truth, objectivity, and usefulness. Acting as marketers means putting all the above into context whilst still luring our audience into dreaming, desiring, wanting, and needing.
It remains to be seen if, in the future, big brands will find the courage to make honesty a core ingredient of their marketing soup and voluntarily risk exposing a weakness to gain something great (and often disregarded in marketing): respect.
Remember, there are two types of people out there: the glass half-empty type and the glass half-full type. Your audience will be made up of both. Brands have tried for too long to convince consumers that the glass is full. It's time to start acknowledging there's always room for improvement.

In the story, the two witches were looking for a scroll that would lead them to the lost city, where the scepter is located, when Nosey, Brainy and Clumsy were captured by them. Soon they found the scroll and took the captured Smurfs with them, along with Papa Smurf and several others, to follow the instructions on the scroll that would lead them to the lost city. Gargamel, overhearing the witches talking about the scepter, wished to claim it for himself and followed the witches to the border of the lost city, then took their broom and the captured Smurfs with him as he flew over the wall of fire surrounding the city. The witches would create another broom and use it to fly over the wall of fire themselves.
With Gargamel distracted in his search for the scepter and not finding it, and Azrael distracted in not finding the Smurfs, the Smurfs themselves found the room that the scepter is in and discovered through Yore's notes how dangerous the scepter really is. Nosey tried to take a peek inside the box that contained the scepter, but Papa Smurf pushed him away from the box, only to be hit by the box's power which knocked him unconscious. Soon Gargamel and the two witches came into the room to have a tug-of-war with the box over possession of the scepter when it flew out of the box and caused Gargamel and the witches to be tangled in each other. The Smurfs then used the witches' broom to push the scepter into the fiery moat surrounding the castle the destroy it once and for all, awakening Papa Smurf. However, the destruction of the scepter also caused the castle to collapse, which the Smurfs, Gargamel, and the two witches barely escaped. By the story's end, the two witches tormented Gargamel by chasing him around the swamp.

For Jo C.
I need help putting together a defence. I have no legal knowledge of how to put together the stucture needed for me to win
Can the judge enforce the full amount? Because my pay has just been cut because i had to transfer shops and take a demotion because i could no longer afford to travel to work and pay to park. so after deductions of rent bills etc im left with £100 for the month to live off. plus im already in £12000 of debt to the bank. How will a ruling work if i have no money to pay?
Part of my defence said can u prove that the losses are correct. they said they can prove it? Ive done the maths. each one of the tickets is a 4 hour contravention, till i drove home for my lunch basically. so on that theory it costs £219000 a year to maintain that car park. I have worked at that shop for 18 years and they have tarmac'ed it once and painted the lines once in all that time. the car park holds 100 cars max. is this a good point to argue?
what do you think i should base my case on? my fines where all from 9am till 1pm approx because i was on a 7-4 shift. do u think taking photos over that 4 hour period would prove that the car park wasnt full would help?

Friday again and I've had a busy and chaotic week with a lot of ups and a few downs.
My parents and brothers got home last weekend and I went to Nottingham with Trivax to see my first show for a while. It was fantastic even though Nottingham isn't one of my favorite places and the rain was horrendous. It took a few days to recover and then it was my Mum's birthday on Wednesday.
We had a relaxing day with her and her main present was a pair of adorable guinea pigs named Donald and Duncan. They're adorable and it's so relaxing to watch them running around in their rather palace like cage. We had birthday cake and watched a film in the evening which was lovely and I think Mum really enjoyed her birthday.
Yesterday was a rough day for me and I'm not sure if I want to write about it yet, I'm trying to rid my mind of it and don't want to start thinking all about it again; so today I've taken care of myself and made sure I'm relaxed and feeling good. Shayan went to Birmingham this morning to finish off mixing the new album and he'll be back later tonight, so I've had a day to myself of relaxation and lots of cups of tea. I don't want to be lazy all the time but today I really needed to put a soft fluffy blanket on me and snuggle up on the sofa.
I've been thinking I'll do a little blog post tomorrow featuring a mini haul of little products that I've bought over the past week or so. I've got some soap and glory goodies and I've also got a little rant about them and their customer service so I'll include that in a different blog.
Now I'm off to have a cup of tea and then to tidy the room and make the bed all fresh for Shayan coming home later :)
