Did you know?
The first mass-produced product range carrying the Isuzu name was launched in Japan in 1934.
You'll find the Gerotek Trail – one of many exciting 4x4 trails run by the Isuzu Off-Road Academy – near Hartbeespoort Dam in the North West province, just 30 minutes from Pretoria and an hour from Johannesburg.
The Gerotek Trail provides a permanent venue for off-road activities where you can test your skills to the limit and learn more about yourself and your 4x4 than you could possibly have imagined.
Bring your own vehicle, or hire one on site, and prepare to hit the trail.
Your day starts early: after tea, coffee and muffins, it's into the classroom for the theoretical presentation. Learn the importance of driver awareness and attitude, discover the basics mechanics of a 4x4, and get tips on off-road driving techniques.
Now it's time to put the theory into action and go off the beaten track. You'll face inclines and declines, practice the correct use of the rear diff-lock, and find out about tyre pressures, vehicle recovery and sand driving techniques.
After lunch, it's back on the road as you navigate mud and sand, rocky terrain and side slopes. Be prepared for the unexpected and understand how important it is to have the right equipment and tools with you when you venture off-road.
Your exhausting yet exciting and informative day ends with a debrief session and a certificate presentation.
The Isuzu Off-Road Academy boasts 4x4 trails all over the country, from private game reserves in KwaZulu-Natal, to a wine estate in the Western Cape. Their user-friendly website will literally point you in the right direction.

BATH centre Gavin Henson has been named in the Probables squad to prepare for Wales' senior trial match on May 30.
Henson, 32, has not played for Wales since he was injured during a 2011 World Cup warm-up game against England in Cardiff.
Henson is among a 26-man Probables squad that will be captained by Alun-Wyn Jones to face the Possibles, another 26-man group under the leadership of Cardiff Blues hooker Matthew Rees.
The game is a full-blown preparation for Wales' two-Test South Africa tour next month.
Wales head coach Warren Gatland is due to announce a 31-man tour squad during his post-match press conference following the trial game at Swansea's Liberty Stadium.
There is no guarantee, though, that Henson and other Wales players with Aviva Premiership clubs will be released for the trial.
English clubs and French teams are not obliged to release players as the game is not a Test match, as stipulated by the International Rugby Board.
Gatland's assistant and Probables head coach Rob Howley said: "The trial is a great platform for us to see all of these players up close and allow them to pit themselves against each other.
"It takes us back to the traditional Wales trials of old, and gives players an opportunity to put their hand up for the Wales jersey. Both sides will be going hard against each other with players having a point to prove.
"It's also a vital game in our preparation ahead of the tour to South Africa. The vast majority of the squad wouldn't have had any game time after last weekend, and this allows us to have a meaningful match."
Bath prop Paul James is included in the Possibles squad coached by Robin McBryde.

An elderly home health care center in Aurora will be providing a training session for caregivers of people with dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other related illnesses from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at 705 Oakwood St. in Ravenna, room 101.
"We have training for the caregivers at Home Instead Senior Care, and we thought it would be a good idea for those who care for their loved ones who aren't employees to be able to help them as much as we can," said Theresa Dash, human resources manager at Home Instead Senior Care.
The session, which is free and open to the public, will explain what dementia and Alzheimer's disease are, the behaviors associated with each and how caregivers can better manage situations that may arise.
One of the problems caregivers face is the ability to keep their loved ones safe, Dash said. People with Alzheimer's disease or dementia often lose their short-term memory and can only remember things from the past. They may go outside and not know how to get back in or forget the identity of the person caring for them.
"It's very difficult for someone taking care of that person to realize that they still need help and not to take it personal," Dash said. "We want to be as helpful as we can with caregivers when their loved ones have dementia or Alzheimer's."

WINTER PARK, Fla. - The Sunshine State Conference will host its second "Professional Women in College Sports" student forum on Thursday, Jan. 31, at the Radisson Resort Orlando-Celebration.
The event, which is open to current SSC female student-athletes who are interested in pursuing a career path in college athletics, returns after the inaugural forum in 2012 was a great success.
Jenn Fraser, who serves as an NCAA Director of Academic and Membership Affairs, will be the keynote speaker for this year's event. Fraser joined the NCAA staff in 2008. In her current role, she focuses primarily on academic policies for Division I. She previously spent three years focusing on legislative matters with the Division II team. A former volleyball student-athlete at California State University, San Bernardino, Fraser also worked as an assistant athletic director at Metropolitan State College of Denver and as an assistant commissioner at the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA).
A panel of four guest speakers will also address the student-athlete participants.
- Pennie Parker, Director of Athletics, Rollins College - In her sixth year as AD at Rollins, Parker is only the second female to serve in that capacity at the College. Parker came to Rollins in May 2002, serving initially as an assistant AD. Prior to arriving at the Winter Park campus, she worked in compliance at three NCAA Division I institutions.
- Kelley Kish, Associate Athletic Director for Compliance, Nova Southeastern University - Currently in her first year at Nova Southeastern, Kish previously served as the Assistant AD for Compliance at the University of Indianapolis. Prior to UIndy, she spent nine years working in the athletic department at the University of Florida, where she served as the Coordinator of Volleyball Operations.
- Nikki Jessee, Head Women's Basketball Coach, Saint Leo University - Jessee is in her second season as head coach of the Lions' women's basketball program. She has unique ties to the SSC, having also served as the head coach at Lynn University and as an assistant at the University of Tampa. Additionally, Jessee played three seasons of women's basketball at Rollins College, where she was a three-time All-Sunshine State Conference selection.
- Mark McClenney, who has served as the SSC's assignor of women's basketball officials for three seasons, will also join the panel to advise participants interested in pursuing a path in officiating.
In addition, Jen Gellock and Ewa Jamborska, who currently work in SSC athletic departments and attended the inaugural "Professional Women in College Sports" forum in January 2012, will provide brief insights into their transitions into their current positions. Gellock joined the Saint Leo women's basketball staff as an assistant coach in May 2012. Jamborska, who competed as a swimmer at Nova Southeastern, is currently serving her first year as a swimming graduate assistant coach at Lynn University.
Approximately 60-100 student-athletes are expected to attend the forum from the SSC's nine member institutions. Attendees will participate in roundtable discussions during lunch, which will be provided by the SSC. They will also receive professional development advice.
Any female student-athletes at Saint Leo who are interested in attending the forum should communicate with Erika Brennan at email@example.com.

UF-UM: What a rush
Published: Friday, September 6, 2013 at 2:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 6, 2013 at 2:18 p.m.
Saturday's matchup between Florida and Miami will be all about the ground game.
It features a two-headed rushing attack on one side and the nation's leading rusher on the other. UM's Duke Johnson had the most rushing yards (186) in the first week of the 2013 college football season.
On his Thursday night radio show, UF coach Will Muschamp called Johnson one of the better players in the country.
"We've got a lot of respect for him," Muschamp said. "He's an outstanding returner and a very competitive young man. For Florida fans, he's very similar to Chris Rainey. A little more bulked up at 190 pounds.
"He can stick his foot in the ground and change direction. We certainly need to be gap discipline on him. He's got big-time top end speed. He catches the ball extremely well. We have to be careful about our matchups with him down the field."
For the Gators, Matt Jones is back in the starting lineup after missing the season opener and all of fall training camp with a viral infection.
Regardless of Jones' return, Muschamp will still give carries to Mack Brown, who rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the 24-6 win over Toledo last Saturday.
"Matt Jones will start this weekend, but we're going to get Mack in early," Muschamp said.
"Whoever has the hot hand, we'll ride. Both of those guys are very good football players. They both deserve to play, they both deserve to start and they both have played well.
"Matt really distanced himself at the end of last season with his play in bowl practice, his preparation toward the end of the year and his play in spring ball. Mack Brown did an outstanding job in the first ball game. Both will carry the ball Saturday. I'm not worried about who starts as much as I am who finishes it. We have confidence in both guys."
Muschamp also has confidence in quarterback Jeff Driskel and the passing game, even though Florida didn't show much through the air last weekend.
"We had some things dialed up in the first ball game and never felt like we needed to go to them," Muschamp said. "We're going to be fine throwing the football. We've got confidence in what we're trying to do. When you run as well as we do, you continue to create some opportunities down the field."
When asked why he chooses to run more than pass, Muschamp responded, "We choose to win the game. And we're going to do what it takes to be successful."

'OMG' New Words Added to the Oxford English Dictionary
Now I can say "OMG, Look at that muffin top! LOL' without being grammatically incorrect. (Actually, I have no idea how to use punctuation in association with the initials) — on March 24th, the Oxford English Dictionary confirmed the additions to the book.
I really don't think it's necessary to add 'OMG' and 'LOL' as words. Clearly, they are terms we use online and on our phones because we're too lazy to type out the whole word. I would never write a paper with those words in them or use them in a conversation willingly.
Don't even get me started on the term 'muffin top.' Clearly, no one is talking about baking when they use that term these days. I think it's pretty funny because I had an English teacher in high school that defined the term for girls that chose to disobey the dress code. Unfortunately, some girls could not take a joke, and my teacher had to withhold on her sarcastic jokes. I'm not by any means an angel, and I'm sure some of my outfits would make her "wall of shame" list. Aside from that rant, a couple years from now, that slang term may be out of date, so why are we adding it to the dictionary?
For Urban Dictionary, it makes purpose sense for those terms to be in. I feel it represents our language being in the Oxford English Dictionary. Does that mean 'DTF' is going to the dictionary next? If you don't watch Jersey Shore, you may not know what it means. I'll let you find out for yourself. I dare you to Google it. 'LOL'

Intel Talks about Multimode LTE Modems - XMM7160 and Beyondby Brian Klug on 8/20/2013 8:35 PM EST

Back to Article
drexnx - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI find it unusual that Intel, who has a generational process advantage in its foundry division, is subbing fabrication on these out to TSMC? Reply
Egg - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - link"The transition of modem to Intel Architecture (away from two different DSP architectures) also remains to be seen, and I'm told it will be two to three years before Intel's modems are ready to intercept the Intel fabrication roadmap and get built on Intel silicon instead of at TSMC. Either way I'm glad Intel Mobile Comms is being much louder about its modem strategy."
I'm not 100% sure what this means, but I think the gist of it is that right now it's easier to fab at TSMC (I'm guessing that's what Infineon was using before?) than at Intel. Reply
Brian Klug - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkYou pretty much nailed it. Existing Infineon IP was always fabbed at TSMC, so it continues to be. It takes a lot of engineering time and resources to port to another process entirely, but what has changed is SoC process coming earlier at Intel to make porting to it happen faster. 2-3 years is still a lot until we see that happen, and yes the immediate Intel modem roadmap is still at TSMC.
-Brian Reply
tuxfool - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkIt should be noted that the fabrication processes for digital and RF are quite different. Analogue design requires different elements, with much more attention paid to noise, gain etc. I gather intel has Fabs capable of producing RF silicon, but those I imagine don't have much of a process lead vs. the competition... Reply
Brian Klug - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkInterestingly enough, Intel claims it doesn't use the RF libraries for its transceivers, (which include the caps and magnetics) since they're expensive. Instead they design around them and just use the normal libraries.
-Brian Reply
tuxfool - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkI always thought that was their endgame. It was on this site that I read about their desire to wean themselves off analogue RF libraries, but they weren't quite there yet. Reply
JKflipflop98 - Tuesday, August 27, 2013 - linkAll intel fabs produce both logic and analog devices, even the D1D/D1X R&D facility. The problem here is that you would have to literally redesign the entire IC from the ground up for an intel process as opposed to just running it on the process it was designed for at TSMC. Reply
YawningAngel - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkMy guess is it's a time-to-market issue. Intel still doesn't have any major SoC wins (if we ignore the as-yet-unreleased Galaxy Tab 3), and isn't likely to get many until they can ship an SoC with an LTE modem; they're not cheap enough to compete at the low end, and LTE is expected at the high end. This being the case, I imagine Intel would rather spend resources on getting the features their modem needs to score design wins now and worry about process optimization later; an imperfect part now is more valuable to them than a much more power efficient one that they can't ship for two years. Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkThe integration of LTE in the Soc is not a concern. Frankly speaking Intel doesn't need of Merrifield so much. All the top selling phones have not LTE integrated on Soc, they have a discrete modem and a Snapdragon with the build in modem disabled or absent. Qualcomm too says that only selected Socs have LTE on Soc... for the simple reason OEMs do not want them, likely cause the lower performance of the integrated hardware.
Intel main goal is to have the LTE modem, now has it and it seems pretty good indeed.
I pretty believe Intel will ship to phone markers baytrail Z series with XMM7160 in bundle; this sounds good because Qualcomm is doing the same thing right now.
Finally some serious competition against Qualcomm monopolistic behaviour Reply
ZeDestructor - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - link> Finally some serious competition against Qualcomm monopolistic behaviour
Now now, no need to bash... Its not Qualcomm's fault everyone else rushed very hot A15 cores instead of properly designing a tailor-made ARMv7 implementation for the target markets... It's called a design win for a reason.... Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkNo, the real winner is the Soc+LTE modem bundle, trust me.
The discount is HUGE Reply
lefty2 - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - link>Qualcomm too says that only selected Socs have LTE on Soc... for the simple reason OEMs do not want them, likely cause the lower performance of the integrated hardware.
You got links to back that up? Because everybody else says the opposite, on SoC LTE is a major selling point for Qualcomm Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkMaybe u need to read some reviews on this site....or if you prefer go to Qualcomm site and read well the hidden lines.
Anyway Galaxy S4 has discrete modem,Galaxy Note has discrete modem, HTC ONE has discrete modem, Nexus has discrete modem......emmm Iphone 5 has discrete modem...and a bunch of other best selling phones.
An integrate modem is a damnation in this moment, LTE is only at the beginning and every country has its own standards. Only a discete full feature modem can manage this situation.
Moreover many top phone manufacturers are going to proprietary Soc solutions next year, slowly leaving Qualcomm away for economic reasons. Reply
lefty2 - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkI think Galaxy S4 and HTC ONE use seperate LTE chip because Snapdragon 600 has only LTE cat 3 built in. Snapdragon 800 has LTE cat 4. If you look at all the new phones with the 800 they all have the msm8974 chip - that's the version with LTE. Now, if they were'nt going to use the LTE they would be using the MSM8074 chip Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkNo, a phone can not manage all that bandwidth, it's useless........it is only a new feature to satisfy the gadget desire of some peoples. Moreover very hardly the carriers will are able to give that connection speed at this level of congestion in the cells. Cat.3 is well enough for all present and future applications.
About the new phones, we'll see :) i haven't seen a serious review yet, only some preview on tablets....nothing more. I have LTE Cat.3 on my PC thanxs to a fast usb cellular modem, still the carrier isn't able to give me the contractual bandwidth, why?? One thing is theory, another one the pratice.
Snap 800 is a little compressed in a phone, likely the power constrains of the designs will give a major hurt on available performance.
Anyway.....Galaxy S5 will have a proprietary Soc, with a discrete modem. Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkGalaxy S4 has MDM9x15 that is Cat.3 :), HTC One too. Reply
YawningAngel - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkIf it's not a concern, why did Motorola not just ship a Razr i in the US? I'm fairly sure there's a reason that Medfield only found its way into non-LTE markets. Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkIntel had not an LTE modem for Razr, simple and plain.
Now has it....finally. Reply
lefty2 - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkOne thing I don't understand is why didn't Intel just use a LTE chip made by some other company?
Apple's SoCs work with a LTE chip not made by Apple, so why are Intel SoCs are only compatible with Intel LTE chips? Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkMarketing ??? Can you image an Intel Soc paired with a Qualcomm modem and transceiver??? Reply
drexnx - Thursday, August 22, 2013 - linkif Moto really wanted the RAZR i to have LTE, they could have used their homegrown LTE chipset, the "Wrigley" Reply
SunLord - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkJust imagine how much less power a modem built and optimized for Intel's 22nm process could of been when compared to everyone else if they actually had one to ship today... Instead by the time Intel transitions to inhouse the industry should be mostly caught up. It also unlikely intel will have the spare fab capacity to able to use say 14nm or even 10 nm for modems until several years into the it's life cycle... Reply
iwodo - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkPeople should finally learn, Intel is only good, or the best at designing and Fabbing High Performance Desktop / Notebook Processors. Designing and Fabbing Low Power SoC, RF, and many other sorts of things are VERY different.
Intel is still playing catch up, even with Intel's resources they will still need a year or two. And their competitors ( Qualcomm ) aren't standing still either. Reply
gilgaroth - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkThe main difference between desktop and notebook processors are the transistor types employed. SoC's use lower power transistors but also require more integration. RF requires more analog circuitry but still employs plenty of transistors. Bottom line, they all need transistors, and Intel makes the best transistors around. Yes, they're playing catch up, but it's not fair to say these things are all completely different. Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkUmmm Qualcomm is in a bad situation now.
At least in designing Low Power Soc it seems has lost the war definitively. Reply
jjj - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkYou guys are on a quest to push all Intel all the time.Every few days now Intel talks something. There is no shame anymore. Reply

On the other hand, I guess the scaling advantage really doesn't matter as much until they go all digital radio, where it will really make the difference. Reply

MIAMI - Young immigrants in Florida are taking their message to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio: They want a fair pathway to citizenship that keeps families united.
Members of the Florida Immigrant Youth Network stood before Rubio's Miami office on Wednesday. They said they had sent multiple requests for a meeting with him but had not received a reply.
Several students then walked into his office and were granted a meeting with Rubio's regional director, Alyn Cruz Higgins.
Student activist and policy analyst Jose Machado told Higgins they want to make sure no more families are separated. The group also asked for inclusion of lesbian and gay families in any reform.
Higgins said she would share their concerns with the senator.

Darvish fans 14, Beltre hits walk-off to sweep Sox
Right-hander matches career high for K's to set stage for rally
ARLINGTON -- For more years than most Texas fans can count -- more than four decades -- the Rangers have searched for that elusive pitching ace.
There have been glimpses now and then -- Fergie Jenkins in the mid-1970s, aging Nolan Ryan in his last five seasons, Kevin Brown in the mid-'90s -- but a real bona fide ace that the Rangers could call their own? Not really.
Don't look now, but he's on the premises.
No, Yu Darvish wasn't around for the end of the Rangers' walk-off 4-3 victory that swept the Red Sox Sunday at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. But there's no question he was the reason they were in position to do just that.
Darvish was gone by the time Adrian Beltre, perhaps a little miffed at seeing Lance Berkman twice walked intentionally in front of him, lined a two-out single in the ninth to right-center to bring Elvis Andrus home with the winning run.
But Darvish certainly left his mark on the game, and it looked like this:
Darvish survived giving up a couple of early long balls to the Red Sox's David Ortiz and David Ross, stuck around long enough for the Rangers to dig their way out of a 3-0 hole and fanned a career-high-tying 14 to pad his American League strikeout lead.
"We never doubted that he's a No. 1 pitcher," manager Ron Washington said. "He's always been a No. 1 pitcher. He just had to get his feet on the ground [in the U.S.].
"We feel good when he matches up with someone else's No. 1."
Darvish was doing just that Sunday, opposing Boston left-hander Jon Lester, who was 4-0 with a 3.11 ERA. Neither would figure in the decision after the Rangers rallied with a couple of home runs of their own from Mitch Moreland and Nelson Cruz.
Washington allowed Darvish to throw a career-high 127 pitches and cautioned those who seemed to think that his limit was somewhere in the vicinity of 110 pitches.
"Don't think what we do is the bible or put it in the dictionary or something," Washington said. "He went 127 pitches because that's what we needed him to do.
"Besides, I don't know what Darvish would have done to me if I'd tried to take him out."
Darvish fanned the last batter he saw, Boston third baseman Pedro Ciriaco, to strand a runner at second in the seventh inning. Then the Rangers right-hander gave an emphatic fist pump, knowing his day was done.
"He was their ninth hitter, and if I had given up a hit there, it would have changed the momentum of the game," Darvish said. "It was important to get that hitter."
Darvish is the first AL pitcher with multiple games of at least 14 strikeouts since Pedro Martinez (three) and Mike Mussina (two) did it during the 2000 season. He now leads the league in punchouts with 72 in seven starts.
"When you've got somebody like [Lester] pitching for the other side and you're behind, you have your work cut out for you," Washington said. "We got the home run from Moreland [in the third] to get us within striking distance [at 3-1]. But we kept grinding him out, and finally somebody else [Cruz] caught him."
The long ball in the sixth was Cruz's team-leading seventh of the season.
"This was a tough series and they're a very good team," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "We were going up against a very good starter in Darvish. We got to him early, but then he settled down and was dominant through the seven innings he pitched."
With the victory, the Rangers are tied with the Red Sox and Cardinals with the best records in the Majors at 20-11. That record matches the Rangers' best 31-game mark in club history (1996 and 2012).
Washington didn't want to make too much of the fact that the Red Sox rolled into Texas red-hot and with the best record in baseball, only to lose three straight for the first time this season.
"It's three games," Washington said. "We're not going to be overwhelmed by winning three games. I'll say it again, we can play baseball. On any given night, our best game can compare to anyone's."
Especially when the Rangers can go ace-for-ace with anyone.

With Republicans' failed presidential bid behind them, Gov. Bobby Jindal gave an interview for a national political audience and flew to Las Vegas on Tuesday to claim a crown that could make him a contender in the next White House race.
Jindal is expected to become chairman of the Republican Governors Association this week in Nevada, igniting speculation about his future.
Former Gov. Buddy Roemer said Jindal can blaze a path to the White House by focusing on his current job as governor.
"I wish he'd spend more time in Louisiana and less time somewhere else, but he's honest, bright. He will have a good four years if he takes care of Louisiana first and uses that to show what can be done nationally," Roemer said.
While withholding any insight into his political ambitions, Jindal chose a national political news organization, with a popular website, for his first post-Election Day interview. Interview requests by local reporters, who write for smaller audiences in Louisiana, were rejected.
Jindal told Politico in a 45-minute interview that Republicans need to cast off "dumbed-down conservatism" and "mindless slogans" after Election Day losses.
In the Politico piece, Jindal skirted speculation he aspires to become the nation's president while offering advice on shaping the GOP and national policy.
The governor often travels outside Louisiana to raise money for other candidates or to support Republican causes, stirring up criticism that his attention is not on running the state.
"I'm going to be focused on being governor of this great state for the next three years and being chairman of RGA next year and getting a bunch of great Republican governors elected," Jindal told Politico.
Jindal declined, as he did after last week's elections, to speak to local media Tuesday.
Kirby Goidel, a political analyst and director of the LSU Public Policy Research Lab, said no one doubts that the governor's interests lie outside Louisiana.
"His attention is going to be focused on national politics. I think Louisiana will call him from time to time ... There's no question that I think he's got his eye on the national political scene," Goidel said.
Jindal, who backed Mitt Romney's failed Republican presidential campaign, emerged as a possible future party leader after President Barack Obama clinched his re-election bid.
He is lumped by political pundits into a field of rising Republican prospects that includes New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, of Florida.
"Simply being the anti-Obama party didn't work. You can't beat something with nothing. The reality is we have to be a party of solutions and not just bumper-sticker slogans but real detailed policy solutions," Jindal told Politico.
For Politico, which is based in Arlington, Va., Jindal carved out nearly an hour to talk about what went wrong on Election Day. He said the Republican Party needs to "treat folks as individuals, as Americans, not as members of special interest groups."
Jindal said the party cannot be the party of "big business, big banks, big Wall Street bailouts." He stopped short of championing the idea of eliminating tax breaks for corporate jets, saying instead that everything should be considered.
Goidel said Jindal is taking the opportunity to influence the next generation of the party.
"It's hard to envision who the next Obama might be," Goidel said. "On the Republican side, it's kind of a free-for-all."
Right now, Goidel said, the national Republican Party is without a leader, although vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has a leg up on the competition.
The trick will be to appeal to the right of the Republican Party, which feels morals are in decline, while also appealing to young people who might be more expansive on issues, he said.
Roemer, who was one of the state's Republican delegates in 2008, said the party needs to reach women, youths and Hispanics.
"America is a lot of things. It's an amalgamation of people. Three or four segments were apparently missed," Roemer said.

I took a little trip last night to visit the woman (and her flock!) that bred my Lulu. The pictures are of her current flock. She no longer breeds them, but some are paired up anyway. Her oldest budgie is Precious, who is 12 years old AND Lulu's mom! Funny thing is she acts a lot like Lulu. Very cute. Precious is also her only tame budgie, so I was able to hold her, if only for a minute or two. Anyway, pictures and descriptions below. And yes, you'll notice she has round cages The birds are out of their cages a very large percentage of the day and are in the corner of the room..not that I agree with round cages, but the birds are very happy and healthy.
Top: Peeps and Stumps
These two are known as the "cranky" (except another word was orginally used ) pair. The front one is Jewel and the one behind her is Bluebird. They dive-bombed me a couple of times while I was taking pictures.
Snowball. Snowball is somewhat of a loner and doesn't interact with the others.
Greenbird on top and below is his mate, Vi. Vi is a Violet bird, so pretty.
Lulu's mom! This is Precious, who is 12 years old.
Top to bottom: Jewel, Bluebird and Greenbird.
This is Stumps. He looks exactly like Bluebird. The only way to tell the difference is Bluebird is always with his mate. Stumps and Bluebird are Cobalt, but in the picture they look skyblue.
I think this is Bluebird. (Sitting on a plant that he knows he's not allowed on!)
Vi, the Violet. It's hard to tell here, because the picture makes her look Cobalt.
Precious on her mommy.
Bluebird, I believe.
Greenbird and Peeps in back. He was named Peeps because when he was a baby he made a different noise compared to all the other babies.
Vi, the violet.
Bluebird and Jewel, the crankies.
Bluebird and Jewel again.
This is Mom (that's her name).
Last, by not least, Peeps. His colouring reminds me of Lulu, but they are not related.

Pharrell Williams auctions off his infamous hat
Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Pharrell Williams created some serious buzz at the 2014 Grammy Awards when he rocked a brown Vivienne Westwood mountain hat with a red Adidas zip up jacket. And now, the head turning accessory can be yours – well, if you're willing to shell out for it, that is.
The "Happy" singer took to Twitter on Thursday to announce that he is selling the hat on eBay to benefit a good cause.
I'm auctioning off my hat from the Grammys to benefit From One Hand to AnOTHER http://t.co/CsW204Eo4R #PharrellsHat @eBay
— Pharrell Williams (@Pharrell) February 21, 2014
In a statement, Pharrell explained, "I'm giving up the Buffalo hat I wore to the Grammys to help underserved kids get the educational tools they need. Our organization, From One Hand to Another, is committed to bringing kids experiences that ignite their passions, challenge their minds, and prepare them for success."
The singer later joked about the designer dud that has since been dubbed "The Arby's Hat" by tweeting
Hey @Arbys, you want my hat? Now's your chance…http://t.co/CsW204Eo4R
— Pharrell Williams (@Pharrell) February 21, 2014
(The fast food chain tweeted asking for it on Grammy night.)
So just how much is the accessory going for? The starting bid was just $200 and was up to a whopping $10,500 at the time this post was published. In less than 24 hours since the listing was posted, the auction has reeled in 64 bidders… and it still has 10 more days to go, as the listing doesn't close until March 2.
While the hat may be a fashion sensation now, Pharrell had no idea that it would garner so much attention. He opened up to "The Insider" about the topper following music's big night: "I just put on my jacket and I put on my hat and I needed to get to the awards because we had a performance and I was happy to be there. And I know that that opportunity and those moments are not afforded to many so I think I put more of my intention and purpose into what I needed to do. So I just put on my Adidas jacket and I put on my Buffalo hat and got ready to go to war," he explained.
Pharrell not only owns the hat in brown, but he was photographed in New York sporting a gray version as well, so he may not be giving up the look completely.
Check out the video to see Pharrell rock the hat that became an overnight sensation:

WHile the weather holds I did two Qs over the weekend using my new How to Grill book and the Weber Genesis Gold.
First off was the Fresh West Indian Snapper Recipie but using Fresh Irish Sea Bass instead. I also did the smoked baked potatoes. I started too late in the day and by the time the smoker pouch was belching and the potatoes were done the fish was ready to cook and the kids were ready for bed. The fish was great but not appreciated due to the rush to eat.....
The next day I did the Garlic Halibut using Hake instead. This time I learnt my lesson with the Kids and did the Q in the afternoon for Lunch - it was lovely. This time I par-boiled the potatoes and grilled some peppers. The fillet of fish was great - that fish sauce and chinese rice wine really making a difference to the flavour.
A few questions though:
1, I only now realise that Cilantro is aka Coriander. My Asian food store even made a few telephone calls in an effort to find out what Cilantro was. They had loads of Coriander in the shop but I used parsley left over from the Sea Bass and it was great.
2, HTG keeps talking about a Cup of this and a 1/2 cup of that......what's a Cup in metric? We use Mugs to drink out of which I imagine are a bit larger than a cup.....as a result I think I may have been a bit heavy on the fish sauce.....put perhaps the parsley was very waterey - eitherway my marinade was very liquid.
3. My Smoked Potatoes had potential but how do you usually set about getting bacon fat? Do you get it from a butcher if he has it or cut the rind off a few rashers and (how do you) melt it down?
Roll on the localised european versions of Steve Raichlen BBQ cook books.
Finally, my smoker pouch often goes on fire. The hood of the grill has even buckled a bit from the heat on the left hand side. I soak the chips for as long as possilbe, put them in a pouch on the grill under the grate, start the gas, close the lid and leave it for about 30 mins. I guess more practice.......only thing is that I can only find Hickory chips over here....
That's all for now.......I need to think what to try next......my ambition has no limit.

Haider Ackermann Fall 2014
Some of the best moments this season have occurred when designers have given us clothes that represent precisely who they are, what they do best, and the reasons everyone stood up (or showed up) and paid attention in the first place. Haider Ackermann is part of this group. Twice a year, he presents his distinct point of view on how women want to look: long and lean, powerful and strong, graceful and a little moody. The creations he sent down the runway for fall were stripped-down versions of all of that.
"I was in search of simplicity," Ackermann said backstage. He certainly found it, and the women who buy his clothes will, too, in the sinuous robe coats in mushroom-colored wool and the clean, fluid pants that puddle at the floor. Two black crepe dresses—one with a satin skirt, the other with a chestnut-and-black houndstooth—struck the ideal balance between elegance, age, and sensuality. They had short sleeves with a wrap top and then the fabric ever-so-delicately skimmed its way down the body until about mid-thigh. Ackermann also riffed on fall's ever-present idea of coziness with a ribbed sweater with extra-long sleeves and what appeared to be a zip-up sweatshirt lined in fur. And cropped motorcycle pants were paired with short jackets that had the designer's signature pinched peplum at the back.
The most striking thing about what Ackermann does in his women's collection, though, is that he makes menswear for women. He doesn't make them borrow anything from boys. More than any other designer, he adapts those traditional silhouettes, fabrics, and tailoring to create clothes that only complement a woman's body and attitude. They simply wouldn't work on a man (nor do they need to since he designs menswear as well). Although the gender fluidity and ideas of ambisexuality that have taken hold this season are undeniably exciting, sometimes you just want something that is wholly your own, something that will allow you, as Ackermann encouraged his models backstage, "to face life with gracefulness and just go."

A BURNLEY woman who was part of a plot to smuggle heroin into prison has been jailed for three years.
Naomi Haworth, of Admiral Street, supplied one of her friends, Michelle Ann Butler, with a package of drugs worth £9,000 during a visit to HMP Haverigg, in Cumbria, last December.
The pair were caught out when police searched Butler as she tried to visit an inmate and found the package hidden in her clothing.
Haworth, 30, claimed she did not know the package contained drugs, but was found guilty of possession with intent to supply heroin at Carlise Crown Court on Tuesday.
Butler, who pleaded guilty to a string of drugs offences, was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison in May this year.
The package also contained a substance known as spice, a synthetic version of cannabis which is difficult to trace through normal drug screening procedures.
Speaking after the sentences, Temporary Detective Superintendent Rob O'Connor, of Cumbria police said: "Cumbria police continue to work successfully with HMP Haverigg to tackle individuals who are intent on getting drugs and other items such as mobile phones into the prison.
"The two recent sentences should send a stark warning to people that if they attempt to smuggle goods into prisons, you will end up in prison yourself. This means serving a lengthy sentence, where you will have time to reflect on your wrongdoing."
The Governor at HMP Haverigg, Tony Corcoran said: "I am grateful to the police for their interception of these drugs bound for HMP Haverigg. The sentences imposed by the judge sends out a clear and unambiguous message that this type of criminality will not be tolerated.
"I am confident that the excellent joint working between HMP Haverigg and Cumbria Constabulary will continue to go from strength to strength."

Welcome to the Asian Culture Center
More than 2,500 Asian and Asian Pacific American students attend Indiana University, bringing their diverse cultures and talents. Like other students, they face common challenges in adjusting to university life and finding friends with shared values and outlets for their energy and convictions. The Asian Culture Center serves IU's Asian community by providing a home for all students interested in Asian cultures.
In 1988, a group of IU Bloomington students began to share their vision of a student-based center to promote Asian culture on campus. Their vision inspired many students, faculty, and staff to work to create such a center over the next decade. In October 1998, the IU Asian Culture Center, the first of its kind in the Midwest, was established.
Today, the Asian Culture Center supports coalition building and unity among Asian and Asian American students, helping them to recognize their common interests and heritage and acting as a voice for their concerns. You'll find that the center is committed to listening to the needs of students; building an inclusive, supportive community that celebrates diversity; and advocating for students' needs and concerns.

Adnan Oktar: Everyone must honestly believe that TURKEY IS HEADING IN GOOD DIRECTION AND THAT WE WILL REALLY BECOME A SUPER STATE. Turkey will be a greater state than it has ever been in the past. Insha'Allah, it will be the leader of the Turkish-Islamic world. We are at the initial stages of this historic mission. And the Turkish nation is one that will free the whole world from anarchy, terror, distress, pain and all its sufferings. It is a really noble, decent nation toughened by troubles and sufferings. It has a spirit oriented towards managing the world and being of use to it. It seems that Allah has bestowed this task on our nation, insha'Allah. We shall soon see this coming true, insha'Allah.
Erzincan Can TV, 14 July 2008
Adnan Oktar: EU IS A VERY BENEFICIAL UNION, IT IS ALSO VERY NECESSARY. TURKEY MUST ENTER IT BUT NOT IN ITS CURRENT FORM. [IT MUST ENTER] AS THE LEADER OF THE TURKISH ISLAMIC UNION. IT MUST ENTER AS A SUPER STATE THAT SERVES AS A BRIDGE TO EUROPE. The value of Europe will then incredibly increase. It will develop enormously. Russia will feel relieved, China will feel relieved. Every neighbor etc. will feel relieved. It is the Turkish Nation that will ensure the most beautiful peace and love in Turkey. This was also so in the Ottoman period and in this period. Allah insha'Allah has given this duty to this nation.

The German Handelsblatt journal commented that from being a developing country,Turkey has turned out to be a regional power. The report with the headline, "Turkey left Europe behind" said,"Turkey now feels itself so powerful that EU has lost its importance." The report also said that the approval of the Turkish public to the EU membership had decreased by half during the last 6 years and that only 38 percent of the public wants EU membership. The words of the Ministry of Finance Mehmet Şimşek saying; "Europe inspires us" were also included in the report. Şimşek's words further quoted in the report as follows: "In case sufficient capital flow is held, Turkey can have an annual 7-8 percent growth, but Europe is weak in this sense. In terms of democracy, human rights and rights of the society, Turkey wants EU membership. Europe will benefit from it in the economic sense. Europe needs us; we add dynamism to Europe." The report also commented that it is possible to observe developments in Turkey in every field.

I will be mentioning over 10 newly-discovered genealogy blogs later this morning, but I want to take a minute to mention a new African-American genealogy blog that should merit everyone's attention in the genealogy community.
Restore the Ancestors Project blog is part of the social media effort for an indexing project to restore the names of 30,000 enslaved ancestors in the Charleston, South Carolina area.
A joint effort between Footnote.com, the South Carolina Department of Archives and History and Lowcountry Africana, the Restore the Ancestors Project seeks to . . .
"digitize every surviving estate inventory for Colonial and Charleston South Carolina from 1732 to 1872, as well as selected Bills of Sale for the same period, in a FREE collection.
When the project is complete, the names of more than 30,000 enslaved ancestors from Charleston and surrounding counties will be restored to history in a free online collection, preserved for generations to come."
Congratulations to Toni Carrier of Lowcountry Africana and the Restore the Ancestors Project advisory board members George Geder and Angela Walton-Raji for all their hard work on this much needed endeavor.

David Cameron looked comfortable and at ease in the House of Commons chamber on Monday afternoon when updating MPs on what has happened in Libya over the summer.
And well he might: the rebels have overtaken Tripoli, Gaddafi is on the run, and the one major controversy – the discovery of papers suggesting British intelligence colluded with the Gaddafi regime in the rendition of terror suspects – happened under the last government.
But as soon as one set of questions about the conflict ends (even Richard Ottaway, the chair of the foreign affairs select committee, who has always been sceptical of the conflict, gave the prime minister credit for the way it has turned out), another begins: namely what happens to our troops now?

Culture Club To Tour in 2012
Hey, Boy George! Come back to Australia!
Fantastic news: Boy George has confirmed a solo tour for 2011 and a Culture Club tour for 2012. The Culture Club tour will be "huge" and "worldwide", the singer told the BBC, which I have interpreted (unwisely) as an unbreakable pinkie promise to definitely come to Australia. In the interview, he also promised the inclusion of 'Karma Chameleon' in the tour, which is a pretty good excuse to watch this 1984 performance in Sydney:
Look out for the audience members at 2:30. Is this how people used to dance? If you're really keen you can buy the DVD of that tour from the excellently titled website, Eagle Rock. Culture Club are SERIOUSLY good live. Watch their performance of 'It's a Miracle' on your father's favourite TV show of all time, Countdown, in 1984:
Boy George, you had such a good time here - come back again! Not only is Norman Gunston not a thing anymore, but we won't deny your visa like the USA did (we let Snoop, Eminem and HEAPS of British tourists come here). Plus, we make TERRIFIC cups of tea.

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey offers his vision inside new book
by Kyle Skahill
Conscious Capitalism is the most recent call to arms advocating for a shift in the way we do business. While co-author and co-CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, is himself a captivating blend of beliefs not often held in unison—simultaneously a self-described libertarian and vegan Buddhist—he blends his values in Conscious Capitalism, illustrating the complementary relationship between successful business and high ethical standards.
Championing the progressive shift in mainstream business culture, co-authors Mackey and Sisodia provide a framework for how business can rediscover its "virtuous nature" as "the largest creator of wealth humanity has ever conceived." The authors claim that shifting focus from short-term profit maximization to long-term stability can restore the for-profit sector's reputation as a critical and respected institution. The resulting read makes a compelling case for free-enterprise capitalism as "the most powerful creative system of social cooperation and human progress ever conceived."
What's a conscious business?
Mackey and Sisodia state that their purpose is to inspire more conscious businesses – "businesses galvanized by higher purposes that serve and align the interests of all their major stakeholders…and who exist in service to the company's purpose, the people it touches, and the planet." The authors offer four tenets of this type of business: 1) higher purpose 2) stakeholder integration 3) conscious leadership, and 4) conscious culture and management. The combination results in win-win relationships between customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, communities and the environment. Win-win relationships between all stakeholders correlate to better customer experiences, less employee turnover, higher engagement, lower overhead, higher profits and sustained growth. As Mackey explains, "the four [tenets] are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. We refer to these as tenets because they are foundational; they are not tactics or strategies…they must be understood holistically to be effectively manifested."
The case for Conscious Capitalism is vetted by frequent references to the successes of Whole Foods Market and other pioneering companies, including REI, The Container Store,Unilever, Twitter, Southwest Airlines, Tata Group, POSCO, and others. Unfortunately, the almost exclusive quotation of leaders already on Conscious Capitalism Inc's Board of Directors makes Mackey's validations feel like an insider executive roll call. Conscious Capitalism could have enjoyed greater depth of perspective by including the voices of customers, employees, or activists in the text, instead of simply speaking for and about them.
That being said, the book recognizes Whole Foods' role as a flag-bearer of conscious business – privately administered healthcare for employees, maintenance of executive salary caps, full wage transparency, and generous benefits all demonstrate that Whole Foods walks the Conscious Capitalism talk. In resonance with these internal practices, Whole Foods is one of only thirteen companies to be listed in Fortune's "Best Places to Work" every year since the list's inception in 1998, and received multiple awards and recognitions from the Environmental Protection Agency among other honors. At the same time, the company has enjoyed a high degree of success on the stock market compared to its sector's average, and continues to enjoy sustained growth.
The role of stakeholder support
The fundamental assertion in Conscious Capitalism— that free market capitalism is "inherently virtuous because it is based on voluntary exchange" — is an oversimplification of a more nuanced history. But that doesn't negate the fact that the larger point rings true. Purposeful, mission-oriented strategy is noble, and it represents a viable long-term model for the business world. Hopefully, by providing a road map for how to implement its four tenets,Conscious Capitalism can articulate this truth to a wider audience. By highlighting the virtue of "shared-value business," Conscious Capitalism should help shift the current malaise towards "business as usual" into the optimism and trust fostered by "doing well by doing good."
We can only hope that Conscious Capitalism – so successful at bringing organics to the mainstream – can help realize a conscientiously-oriented business paradigm for the 21st century.

For those that never took us fashion design students seriously, do you see this??? We are hardcore! HARDCORE!!!!…. *stares at finger* *cries*
Sadly, this is not the first time something like this has happened. Last year, I broke a leather needle and the tip engrained itself into my thumb causing quite the bloody mess. The year before that, I broke a regular needle over my nail, leaving a deep groove that took for what seem like years before finally growing out and disappearing. This is the first time that the culprit was not the needle, but the screw holding the needle in place! (If confused, refer to diagram below). Not only did it jam down onto my nail, it broke clean through to my skin underneath. I can literally see clean through it from the bottom of my nail. You have no idea how much I hate everything right now…
At least Maria unknowingly saved the day by giving me a grapefruit. ^__^
In other news, all my triangles have finally all been sewn to one another! All that is left now is to drape the bodice, then sew the two to one another. Much easier said than done, but it feels so good to say such a simple sentence that I know I will definitely be dreading tomorrow.
The majority of the second dress is coming together as well.

"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"Beautiful cards. I got them printed on the shimmer paper and put them into laser cut envelopes I got from another source. So elegant and clean. Staff is AMAZING. Very kind and attentive, everytime I called them, they were very helpful and patient. My invitations arrived 1 week before scheduled delivery. Fast service! For canadian customers, please remember you will be charged the current exchange rate and duties via UPS (a few little surprises I forgot about when paying)!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"Was worried about ordering the invitations online, sight unseen, but I could not be happier with the end result! They were delivered a week before I expected them, and the quality of the paper and over product was exceptional."
"My Fiance and I loved how easy it was to design the invitations ourselves. I like my print to be very large and bold, that would be the only thing I would have wanted to change. It looks beautiful though and you can see the cursive clearly. I recommend asking to have your invitations shipped in a box as my first order came in a mailing envelope that was damaged during shipment. This resulted in my invitations being lost and needing to reprint. They kindly took care of this for me quickly and shipped them out in a beautiful box. If you're in a time crunch, it can be a big delay.."

Sneak Peek: How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm by Mei-Ling HopgoodJanuary 4, 2012 • 29 Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog, Excerpts
We're thrilled to give you an early look at Mei-Ling Hopgood's upcoming book, How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm and Other Adventures in Parenting Around the World, publishing next week. This grand tour of global parenting techniques proves once and for all that there's more than one way to diaper a baby.
See below for the cute book trailer and to read an excerpt. Also: We've got 3 copies up for grabs! Want to win one? View the (brief) trailer and let us know which example you like best–you can leave your comment here or on our Facebook page.
Mei-Ling Hopgood, a first-time mom from suburban Michigan—now living in Buenos Aires—was shocked that Argentine parents allow their children to stay up until all hours of the night. Could there really be social and developmental advantages to this custom? Driven by a journalist's curiosity and a new mother's desperation for answers, Hopgood embarked on a journey to learn how other cultures approach the challenges all parents face: bedtimes, potty training, feeding, teaching, and more.
Observing parents around the globe and interviewing anthropologists, educators, and child-care experts, she discovered a world of new ideas. The Chinese excel at potty training, teaching their wee ones as young as six months old. Kenyans wear their babies in colorful cloth slings—not only is it part of their cultural heritage, but strollers seem outright silly on Nairobi's chaotic sidewalks. And the French are experts at turning their babies into healthy, adventurous eaters. Hopgood tested her discoveries on her spirited toddler, Sofia, with some enlightening results.
This intimate and surprising look at the ways other cultures raise children offers parents the option of experimenting with tried and true methods from around the world and shows that there are myriad ways to be a good parent.

Love this – My daughter is expecting and this would be perfect!

Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
I'm a big fan of letting kids work out their playground disputes on their own like in Japan. It's good practice for something you'll be doing your whole life.
11:41 am
Jennifer Gravley says...
I liked the example of the Japanese approach to playground squabbles.
11:50 am
Jo says...
I am all for letting kids settle their own disputes. Unless there is violence, it teaches them conflict resolution and forces them to use their words
11:52 am
jasbro says...
I love the "French" approach to feeding! Not only can it help develop good nutritional habits, but there's no better training for kids to be receptive to new experiences.
11:52 am
Annie says...
I just grinned to see the little bare bottomed babies in potty training phase in China.

Thank you for this giveaway. Sounds like a very educational and fun book.

Ohmigosh, I have a three year old who's PICKY about her food, so my favorite story here is about the French and their mini-foodies. I'd love to read it. 🙂
12:43 pm
Pierre says...
Transporting the baby in a sling (Kenya) keeps the baby close to the body and creates a strong feeling of security.
12:53 pm
Jennifer Orozco says...
I love the idea of having kids do chores at an early age. Kinda wish I'd had my older ones do this…at 12 and 11, I can hardly get them to pick up their socks without a moan and groan.
12:57 pm
Janet Jensen says...
Sounds like a book any parent (or grandparent) would enjoy!
1:25 pm
Joyce Pardon says...
I love the Kenya example of carrying your baby everywhere. I've been collecting child rearing practices like this myself forever and hope this book fulfills its promise. The trailer is great. Can't wait to add this to my child development/parenting collection of books.

mary n connolly says...
i would be very interested in winning a copy of this. It looks to be a good read and i love the book trailer.

Anna Mills says...
There can be no picking from me; they are all fascinating. I have to read this. Thanks for the introduction.
2:03 am
Ashley says...
I like the example of China the best but then again I lived there and have seen the positives and negatives to this approach (people having their babies go on most any tree and many a sidewalk). I'm interested in reading about the other examples though. Especially what the French do with food introduction. Hope I win!
10:24 am
Susan F says...
I most like the example of using carriers to get around with babies. I am looking forward to reading this!
1:04 pm
roc_phd says...
This sounds really fun. I love a good baby sling/wrap/pack, but I think the French approach to food might be the first chapter I'd read. Thanks for calling this to my attention!
8:49 pm
Tiana Trammell says...
I love the Kenyan example of the children carried in the colorful sling. I found it very reminiscent of the Kangaroo Care done in the NICU when I have birth to my twins prematurely. It's quite endearing.
7:51 am
Linda McFarland says...
Wow look forword to reading the book……sounds really interesting to say the least………………..firstname.lastname@example.com
3:47 am
Grace says...
My favorite is the fact that the French excel at turning their children into gourmands at an early age.
9:09 am
Rebecca says...
It's an interesting approach but the name of this book is highly offensive to me. How about not using a derogatory term for the native peoples and calling them Inuits.
11:30 am
Amanda says...
Since my little guy is eating solids right now, I'm curious to know how other cultures introduce solid food.
6:23 pm
Tayvia says...
I love that children are taught at a young age to enjoy food in france. I think that is wonderful!
2:45 pm
Anne says...
I enjoyed this preview and thought that the trailer was well done and the China one was cute.
9:16 am
Jo says...
Ilove the split crotch pants in China – what a great way to deal with toilet training.
Have to agree about book title – Eskimo is a politically incorrect and offensive term for the Inuit. How was this title approved by the publisher?
9:38 am
Aviva says...
I have to agree. I think it looks like a very interesting book but the title is very offensive and will put me off buying it or recommending it. Very poor choice.
11:45 am
Kim Weber says...
As a postpartum doula who works with families from many cultures, I am always interested in how different cultures parent their children. There is no right and wrong, there is only what works for your family. This looks like an interesting read.
12:21 pm
Christy says...
I love the example of mothers in Kenya! It makes perfect sense to swaddle babies close instead of parading through the streets baby first in such a busy environment! Looks like a very interesting book!
5:04 pm
Sara says...
Yes, there are great parents everywhere!! I love all of the examples and the reminder that different approaches are can accomplish that same thing – a healthy child who is loved very much. Can't wait to read the book.
