Parents must co-operate with schools to strictly monitor their children and make sure that they are abiding by traffic laws.
Children should not be allowed to drive motorbikes or ride without helmets, educational experts have said.
The comments were made after a number of school students were found driving motorbikes in urban areas. The country's legal driving age is 18 years old.
Early last month, the Ministry of Education and Training instructed schools nationwide to ask students and parents to sign commitments with local authorities to prevent juveniles from driving motorbikes.
Statistics from Ha Noi's Traffic Police Department showed that there had been 214 violations involving underage drivers this year.
Most violators did not have a driving licence and were found going through red lights and carrying more than three people on one bike.
Phuong Nam High School's Vice Principal Vu Duc Thu said the school banned students from parking motorbikes on campus, but several temporary parking attendants near the school were still serving juvenile customers.
Tay Ho High School's Principal Le Hong Vu blamed poor public transportation for the increase in violations.
"There are only two bus routes that pass by the school and they are all overloaded. Hiring school buses to pick up students is not the best choice because it cost between VND800,000-900,000 (US$42-47) for each student to ride the bus per month," Vu said.
Nguyen Quoc Quan, a father of a 12th grade student, said he allows his son to drive a motorbike to school because their house was 7km from the school and his son was very busy.
"It takes a lot of time and effort to ride a bicycle," said Quan. "I'd rather let him go by motorbike and focus on his studies than make him bike from this place to that place. He would be exhausted."
Dr Nguyen Hoi Loan, a psychologist at the National University of Ha Noi, said the distance to schools and overcrowded buses were not reasons to allow students to drive to school.
"It is the parents' responsibility to control students driving habits. Improper education from both parents and schools may be the cause for the student's bad behaviour," said Dr. Loan said. — VNS

The Samsung Focus is one of the hottest Windows Phone 7 devices that launched with the new operating system back in early November. If you're not familiar with this device, you can read all about it in our review, posted here. The Focus is available from Rogers here in Canada and from AT&T in the US. Both carriers have listed the exact same device specs – 8GB memory, UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100), 1500 mAh battery, 4" super-AMOLED screen, 5 Megapixel camera, and expandable MicroSD card slot. Aside from the carrier, the Samsung Focus is physically the exact same device, except for one small thing – price.
AT&T is selling the Focus for $499 without a contract, or $199 with a 2 year contract. On the other end, Rogers is selling the phone for $599 without a contract, $499 for a 2 year contract, or $149 with a 3 year contract! Now, I'm sure the conversion rate between the US and Canadian dollar plays a part in this pricing. So, let's take the average conversion rate from October – $1.00 USD = $1.017975 CDN – and now our numbers are… pretty much unchanged. So why the big difference in price? If someone from Rogers is willing to answer this, please use our contact form to get in touch with me. To me, this just looks like more greed from the Canadian carriers.
If you are looking for a Samsung Focus, and you're not willing to sign a 3 year contract with Rogers, I would recommend picking up a Focus from AT&T and using that with your carrier here in Canada. Of course, there is an extra hidden cost associated with this solution. First, you need to get to and from the US or pay to have the phone shipped here if you bought it off eBay. Or, stop in at an AT&T store on your next visit across the boarder. Second, you will need to unlock the device as it will be locked to the AT&T network. This shouldn't cost you more than $20 or $30.
All things considered, you're better off picking up a Focus from AT&T and unlocking it, versus paying an extra premium to Rogers.

Tech N9ne: Blood Sweat 'N' Gears [Excerpt From the June 2011 Issue]
After the XXL story about you came out last summer, which artists reached out to you?
Tech N9ne: Everybody you can imagine from Rock the Bells, from Nas to Damian Marley, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, B Real from Cypress Hill—and that's just to name a few. Oh, Erick Sermon, EPMD, when we were in Canada. Erick was like, "Hey, I need to talk to you, man. How do you sell all those copies, man, with no video or radio?" I was like, Wow, this is Erick Sermon talking to me. I never met him before. I'm totally a fan, man. It's a big story, because for Erick Sermon to say that to me… On my graduation day [from high school], I won a rap contest to open up for EPMD and DJ Quik, or Kwame or something like that. I chose to rock onstage, as opposed to walking across the stage on graduation day. That's how I knew what I was going to do for the rest of my life. I was around 18. So when I run into him in Canada and they're walking by and I'm like, "Whoa, EPMD!" and they're like, "Hey, Tech N9ne, I need to talk to you."
When did you hear that Wayne had mentioned you on Hot 97? How quickly did that news get to you?
Right when it happened. I was in the studio. I was in there writing for Bad Season,
I think, for Whoo Kid. My big homie Big Scoob came in, and he was like, "Yo, you heard about Wayne?" I was like, "What happened to Wayne?" "Naw, man, nothing happened to Wayne. He wanna work with you." I was like, "Whatever, dude." He was like, "Naw, man, he said it in an interview with Funkmaster Flex." I said, "What?!" Everybody started hitting me, like, "You heard what Wayne said?!" It threw me for a loop. In my world, I'm thinking everybody thinks I'm a devil worshipper. I'm thinking everybody is afraid of me.
You got labeled a devil worshipper?
Yeah, from a rapper here, Mel Bacardi. He was a rival rapper. One day he said, "The difference between me and Tech is that I worship God and he worships Satan." And I'm the nigga with red hair, with spiked hair. You see the picture of me, and you're like, "Yup." It wasn't hard. Rapping backwards and shit. Everywhere. Now people are coming back to it. Wayne said, "They say that about me, too."
Some of your own fans have expressed concern about your working with so many different artists on the new album. They're worried you'll change.
I brought everybody into my world, but it's still that Tech N9ne shit. I think that's what my fans were worried about with Wayne, that I would go mainstream. "Please don't do it, Tech." "Don't do it." "He's mainstream, you're underground, it don't mix." But I'm on some Wayne shit, and he's on some Tech N9ne shit, and if they can't accept that, fuck 'em. My fans are never going to agree, because there's so many different fans: metal heads, gangbangers, the college kids, Juggalos and Juggalettes, Cottonmouth Kings and Queens. All of 'em like a certain thing I do. A lot of Juggalos don't like the sexual songs. I don't know why; maybe they don't get pussy. But I love pussy. I don't understand people who don't like fucking.
They're worried that you're going to do a song like "BedRock."
But if you think about all the sexual songs that I do, is "BedRock" wrong for me to be on? It might sound real poppy because Lloyd is singing, but the topic is the same.
People call your fans a "cult audience." When did you first hear that?
Recently, when people started finding out about me. When XXL did that story on me, everybody started finding out, and everybody started finding out about my fans, like, "Whoa, look at the picture of them! Some of them paint their face. That's on some cult shit!" When I did that pledge, that's when everybody started saying it.
So you don't see it as a negative thing?
Hell, no! Not when I'm talking about love. Love for music. What am I preaching? We're going to share this shit and spread this shit to the rest of the world. They'll buy 10 CDs and pass them to their friends, like, "Listen to this." Why they do it for me? I have no idea. But I love 'em for it. So I just bring us closer together with a pledge, and if they do say it, it's a cult. They're going to wait until somebody dies or something. Like somebody'll say, "Okay, this person said this person is a Technician, and they got beat up." Then that will be bad. But that's just in the hands of bad people getting my message. When my message is about love. And if they listened to me, it's all about love. I'm giving you this music. I'm giving you my heart. That's why fans stands for "forever accepting N9ne's soul." People say, "That's cultish, muthafucka." Yeah! I pour out my soul onto paper, and you accepted it and passed it around to people and believed in it. I love you for it. Let's keep doing it.

Most glass metaphors are just too easy. As we've spent centuries utilizing the material in three primary capacities—for dinnerware, windows and mirrors—we made symbolic associations with two of these manifestations long ago. (Dinnerware is just too damned dull for go-to literary devices.)
In window form, looking through glass evokes freedom and possibility. As a mirror, looking at glass represents vanity or introspection, depending on the context. As Friedrich Nietzsche said, "If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." The mirror is the ultimate abyss, a literary device effective enough to have become a cliché.
Because of our everyday exposure to glass in the aforementioned forms, it's easy to forget the medium's versatility and potential to astonish. Glass can ably carry much of the colorful, attention-grabbing pop of a canvas, but it's also a material that reveals sundry new intricacies and angles when altered by light. (This idea is less gratifying in bronze and clay sculpture.) Even with the many glass artists and pieces out there, the medium goes underappreciated.
Happily, Clear and Present: Works in Glass by 12 Artists at LewAllen Galleries Downtown wholly avoids all that humdrum symbolism and instead delves into glass' untapped possibilities. The artists use the medium in several ways: in human and animal sculpture, in playful mosaics, to craft geometric patterns. The only thing close to common use is Charles Miner's series of faded cast glass vessels, whose exteriors feature intricate carvings of schools of fish. Even if one were to ignore the hefty price tags that come with fine art, Miner's works are too majestic to be confused with ordinary vessels. See "Tall Pescador" filled with punch at a party, and you'd at least feel obligated to compliment the host.
The most striking pieces in Clear and Present have nothing to do with everyday function. In "Exploration 156" and "Exploration 157," Steve Klein creates curvy, carefully structured plates, which feature balls caught in motion in their centers. His "Holding 5" is Clear and Present's most gorgeous piece: a teal and black lattice that resembles a loosened-up helix. Both its color scheme and clarity of construction are compelling.
Using small spheres of fused glass (dot de verre), Veruska Vagen recreates pieces by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and other famed artists into petite mosaics. Disappointingly, her interpretations do nothing to twist or augment the originals, but are whimsical and charming until the novelty wears thin.
Carmen Vetter's "Transpose" engages three-dimensional possibilities. As a visual, it's flat and underwhelming, with two sets of 10 red crescents stacked upon each other and facing opposite directions on a black background. But closer scrutiny reveals that each crescent has been carved out of the kiln-formed glass surface and creates a slightly altered visual depending on the viewing angle. The piece gains little extra visual punch, but its meticulous carving adds an element of subtle intrigue.
"Transpose" hits on Clear and Present's major flaw: Its work leaves much room for appreciating craftsmanship and little for extracting meaning. Similarly, Hiroshi Yamano's sculptures of birds perched on branches in trays are idyllic and precisely captured, but don't offer much food for thought.
Some pieces don't even have the craftsmanship angle going for them. Peter Bremers, who is responsible for the fantastic "Antelope's Twist (Canyons & Deserts)," resorts to uninventive shapes and images in his Icebergs & Paraphernalia series, forgoing imagination for staid design. Glass contains loads of potential, but much of Clear and Present simply touches the surface.

Dolphin left to die in Dolphin Base Resort pool in Taiji
How disgusting! How could anyone treat another life form like this? In 1999, the Japanese Parliament passed a revised Animal Protection Law (Doubutsu Aigo Kanri Hou). This law permits criminal prosecution for "cruelty" and "neglect" of animals. Before this law's enactment, prosecution was possible for abuse of other's animals, but not abuse of those in one's possession. Irresponsible dog owners were free to abuse their own pets without legal or civil repercussions. This new law authorized the arrest and prosecution of willful abuse and neglect regardless of ownership. So why isn't this law being enforced?? What kind of a human beings would allow another animal or life form on our planet to be mistreated like the dolphin is in the video above? How ironic it is that in World War 2 the Japanese considered Allied prisoners of many different Commonwealth countries to be inferior to the Japanese. Now on the basis of this video we can state that in fact it is these Japanese people who are inferior to the rest of the World's population!!! What kind of people are the Japanese? They murder dolphins and whales and other life forms indiscriminately! They cut fins off a shark and let the shark
suffer the most excruciating death you could image by drowning helplessly. Why? So they can add the fin to a bowl of soup, the fin adds absolutely no taste to the soup, yet despite World outrage concerning this behavior of the Japanese they continue to keep killing sharks.
Their air pollution in Japan is so bad that they are causing people in neighboring countries to experience severe health effects. "Environmental quality standards for organic pollution are still not being met at about 30% of Japan's total water area. In particular, there has been little improvement in urban rivers and enclosed water areas such as inland seas, inlets, lakes, and reservoirs." (source:http://www.env.go.jp/en/water/wq/pollution/index.html ).
If we allow the Japanese to continue to act as they are in the present world, it is only a matter of time before they try and spread their behavior to other places in the World (much like they did after they attacked Pearl Harbour). Are the people of the non-Asian World going to allow the Japanese to continue to engage in their disgusting forms of behavior? I say no! I say we need to send a very strong message to them that their behavior in many ways is unacceptable,immoral and will not be tolerated.
I suggest that you write the Japanese Minstry of Foreign Affairs using the following information:

The World's bees may have been saved from the Varraoa mite!
According to an article at the PhysOrg.com entitled, "Bee scientists force killer mites to self destruct" "scientists at the Scotland Government's National Bee Unit and Aberdeen University have worked out "how to 'silence' natural functions in the (Varraoa) mites' gene — with the potential to make them self destruct. You may recall that he Varraoa mite has been linked to Colony Collapse disorder in bees."
"Dr. Alan Bowman from the University of Aberdeen said: "Introducing harmless genetic material encourages the mites' own immune response to prevent their genes from expressing natural functions. This could make them self destruct."
"The beauty of this approach is that it is really specific and targets the mites without harming the bees or, indeed, any other animal."

It is amazing how quickly this idea has been thought of in order to help the World's bee populations. Scientists are amazing! Let us hope that it works for the sake of the bees and all the crops that bees pollinate,. Here is a list of all the crops that bees have been found to pollinate:

Skiing Industry threatens survival of Wolverines
is more important than having this species of animal living in Colorado as nature intended it to???:
This blog post concerns the Skiing Industry and its lack of willingness to share the environment with Wolverines.
First, please go to the following website and read this article:
"Wolverine reintroduction in Colorado?Possible protected status has ski group wary"
which was written by Bruce Finley of the Denver Post. Here is the link to this article:
As stated in the article:
" Colorado Ski Country USA president Melanie Mill "Why the rush? "The fear, she said, is that ski-resort expansion on federal land, and even existing operations, could be restricted if the government embraces wolverines."
Scientists don't know exactly how many wolverines are in the contiguous U.S., but they estimate there are 300 or fewer, most living in the northern Rocky Mountains."
I (as in this blog owner) say 300 wolverines deserve the right to have enough habitat to live in, this should take precedence over the expansion of existing ski resorts in Colorado or anywhere for that matter!!
According to an article at this link: http://www.greeleytribune.com/article/20101213/NEWS/101219994
"Wolverines likely exist as a network of semi-isolated populations, and they require gene flow between groups to support each other and prevent individual populations from going extinct. If that dynamic breaks down, the entire population may be jeopardized, the Fish and Wildlife Service said"
"The ruling said that outcome is likely due to wolverines' naturally low reproductive rates and low densities."
How selfish can some humans be? How many ski runs does a skiing resort need? I can't believe Melanie Mill is so ignorant of the behavior and life style of wolverines, and I can't believe she is so driven by the all-mighty United States dollar that she would be willing to risk the entire population of a species of life for a small percentage of the United states population (as in downhill skiers, and Colorado ski resort owners) and her own wallet!
This kind of mentality on the part of humans is happening more and more in our era. If it is not one set of humans who think they can do anything they want, without regard to the other life on the planet, then it is another set of humans who are engaging in this form of behavior! I certainly am glad that I do not ski anymore, if this is how these Ski resort owners and their associations think the World turns! I hope that some of you who ski downhill at resorts in Colorado and elsewhere stop to think about Melanie Mill's comments and philosophy towards life! It is exactly this type of mentality that has caused the extinction of many plant and animal species on the planet. Isn't it interesting to learn that Melanie Mills was once a practising attorney (source: http://www.ropeways.net/programm/seite.php?wert=1496 ). She only seems to be interested in power and the fact that she spent 14 years as a "Ski Country's lobbyist", (source:http://www.allbusiness.com/transportation/road-transportation-trucking-road/11860110-1.html ) indicates to me whose interests she is most interested in!!! . The Wolverines of Colorado and of this World deserve to be spoken for and heard as well!! They deserve the right to have even territory to live as a species in Colorado before any expansion of any ski resort in Colorado is permitted!!

Thoughts worth thinking about
Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every woman and man present their views without penalty, there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.- Albert Einstein Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. - Leo Buscaglia
A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world. - Mohammed
Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. -Albert Einstein
The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others. - Ghandi
The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves. - Helen Keller
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person. - Dr. David M. Burns
Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures. -His Holiness The Dalai Lama
Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it. -
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity. -George Bernard Shaw
Ego's trick is to make us lose sight of our interdependence. That kind of ego-thought gives us a perfect justification to look out only for ourselves. But that is far from the truth. In reality we all depend on each other and we have to help each other. The husband has to help his wife, the wife has to help the husband, the mother has to help her children, and the children are supposed to help the parents too, whether they want to or not.-Gehlek Rinpoche Source: "The Best Buddhist Writing 2005 pg. 165
The hostile attitude of conquering nature ignores the basic interdependence of all things and events---that the world beyond the skin is actually an extension of our own bodies---and will end in destroying the very environment from which we emerge and upon which our whole life depends.
Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others. Nor is it so remarkable that our greatest joy should come when we are motivated by concern for others. But that is not all. We find that not only do altruistic actions bring about happiness but they also lessen our experience of suffering. Here I am not suggesting that the individual whose actions are motivated by the wish to bring others' happiness necessarily meets with less misfortune than the one who does not. Sickness, old age, mishaps of one sort or another are the same for us all. But the sufferings which undermine our internal peace -- anxiety, doubt, disappointment -- these things are definitely less. In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense.What does this tell us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness. Dalai Lama.
"We can judge the heart of a (hu)man by his or her treatment of animals."-Kant"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights - that is the way of the whole human being!" (Abraham Lincoln "Complete Works")
"It's not that humans and non-humans are identical... but the lack of understanding that led to the slave trade is the same lack of understanding many people have about animals today. When slaves were brought over from Africa, many people believed they were not humans, that they didn't have feelings. Many people believe that primates and other animals don't have feelings, too, but they do."- Jane Goodall
"Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."-
"Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity."- Vincent van Gogh
"The only way in which one can make endurable man's inhumanity to man, and man's destruction of his own environment, is to exemplify in your own lives man's humanity to man and man's reverence for the place in which he lives".- Alan Paton
I think I could turn and live with the animals. They are so placid and self-contained. They do not sweat and whine about their condition. Not one is dissatisfied. Not one is demented with the mania of owning things. Not one is disrespectful or unhappy over the world. - Walt Whitman"

Durban North is an upmarket suburb of KwaZulu Natal's largest city, Durban. It is connected to Durban's city centre via the M4 highway (Ruth First highway) making the trip into town for sight-seeing or business quick and convenient.
Durban North is situated between the Umgeni River (to the South) and another upmarket suburb La Lucia (to the North). To the East are the Indian Ocean and a long stretch of beach.
Durban North's beach is one of its major draw cards. It stretches from the Umgeni River all the way to Glenashley in the North. Durban North's beach is a great place to unwind. Between the soft white sand, the tropical coastal vegetation typical of the coastline and the warm subtropical climate, it is possible to convince yourself you are on a luxurious island holiday. What makes it even better is that most of the apartments and guesthouses in the Durban North neighbourhood are within walking distance of the beach and graced with views uninterrupted of the ocean.
Durban North is renowned for its golf courses, so if you are looking for things to do in Durban North, you could always try your hand at this sophisticated sport. The suburb is home to the Beachwood Golf Course (slated as one of the finest links courses in the country), the Windsor Park Golf Course (owned and run by the municipality) and the fine Durban Country Club Golf Course which has often hosted the South African Open.
Just North of the suburb is the Beachwood Mangrove Nature Reserve - a great place to check out the mangroves and escape from the bustle of the city.
If you are less of an outdoors person, the impressive Gateway Shopping Mall is a stone's throw away as are two casinos - Sibaya Casino and the Suncoast Casino.
Visiting Durban North will make you feel at home and refreshed with its fresh sea air and serene energy.

In the biopic about Marilyn Monroe, the young Brit star plays a wardrobe assistant who catches Eddie Redmayne's Colin Clark's eyes.
Emma Watson gets her first role after completing the production of "Harry Potter" film franchise in "My Week with Marilyn". Now the first picture of her in the biopic has emerged via Daily Mail. It shows her as her character Lucy, an assistant in the wardrobe department at Pinewood studios in 1956, sporting a wig which has bangs and standing among some clothes.
"My Week with Marilyn" has Michelle Williams taking the lead role of Marilyn Monroe. The movie is based on the diary of Colin Clark who was Laurence Olivier's assistant who looked after Monroe when she arrived in London to film "The Prince and The Showgirl".
Portrayed by Eddie Redmayne, Clark flirted with Lucy as much as possible in between takes. He described Lucy as "one of the prettiest little girls I have ever seen in my life... slim as a wand, curly brown hair, huge brown eyes and a wide cheeky grin." Clark also gushed that Lucy kissed "like an angel" in his book.
Rounding up the main cast are Kenneth Branagh as Olivier, Judi Dench as Dame Sybil Thorndike who co-starred Monroe in "The Prince and The Showgirl", Dominic Cooper as Milton Greene who was Monroe's business partner and a co-producer of the 1957 film.
Simon Curtis serves behind the lens with the script written by Adrian Hodges. The drama is filmed in England and is expected to come out sometime in 2011.

Michelle Burchfield, What Are You Eating?
Michelle Burchfield
The actress, writer and performance artist is a cast member of First Friday Night Live, which goes down Friday, October 1 at 11 p.m. at The Firehouse and on ustream. She's also appearing in Show & Tell: Performance Art at Sweets & Beats during the Grand Avenue Festival Saturday, September 25 at 6 p.m. and Spaceship Phx: Ep. II at the Firehouse Saturday, September 25 at 8 p.m.
What'd you eat for dinner last night? A vegan bean burro's at Conspire. They're a little spicy and very yummy.
Favorite food: Healthy food that's so tasty I forget it's good for me. I have a sweet tooth, and it's easy for me to go overboard on junk.
Least favorite food: Sauerkraut. I only disliked it until I lived in Germany, then I grew to actively despise it.
Favorite dessert: (Artist) Morgan McNally's cupcakes. They're so moist, you wonder how they can stay intact. And the frosting is perfect--luxurious without being too rich.
Favorite local restaurant and meal to order there: Fair Trade Cafe has a tasty chicken curry sandwich, and I love the beet salad with pine nuts and bleu cheese at Carly's.
Favorite local bar and cocktail to order there: I like hefeweizen, so I'll order that over a cocktail if I have the option, usually at Rose and Crown or Lost Leaf.
Favorite thing to cook at home: I'll stir-fry veggies with chicken (and cook a second pan with tofu if there are any vegans eating; I'm allergic to soy) and make brown or jasmine rice.
Favorite memory involving food: When I was growing up, whenever shimasani (my grandma) would visit, she'd make naneeskadi (Navajo tortillas, which are made from the same
dough as fry bread) and blue or yellow corn mush for breakfast.
Recipe or food tip to share: Rinse the rice a few times before cooking it. Sauteing minced ginger root along with onions and garlic adds a wonderful flavor.

A Wanniassa man allegedly spat blood in the face of his neighbour after a fight with her son.
Police were forced to draw their guns when they were allegedly confronted by a knife-wielding Matthew David Hayman, 28, soon afterwards.
Hayman was arrested and appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday morning on charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, possessing an offensive weapon, and assault.
Court documents said Hayman's neighbour had allegedly found Hayman and her son wrestling and trading blows on the front lawn of her Wanniassa home about 10.30pm on Sunday.
She tried to separate the men when Hayman allegedly spat blood onto her face, temporarily blinding her.
The woman managed to pull her shirt over his head, allowing her son to break free and run, before Hayman allegedly shoved her.
She then went inside her home to wash the blood from her face.
Her husband confronted Hayman, who allegedly struck him in the head with an unidentified object, causing a cut to the top left of his head.
Police arrived about 10.52pm to hear shouting coming from Hayman's home.
Officers were about to knock on the door when Hayman allegedly confronted them while holding a 32-centimetre knife.
He allegedly moved towards police, who drew their firearms and a taser, and instructed him to drop the weapon.
Hayman threw the knife to the ground and raised his hands in the air.
Court documents said officers observed he had a number of cuts to his arms and legs, and was bleeding from his mouth.
He appeared highly intoxicated, smelt of alcohol, and was verbally aggressive towards police.
The prosecution opposed bail when Hayman appeared before Special Magistrate Maria Doogan on Monday.
The prosecutor argued Hayman could endanger the safety of the complainants or witnesses if granted bail. But defence lawyer, Soraya Saikal, said bail conditions would remove any risks.
Ms Saikal said her client had a minor criminal history, and no previous convictions for violence or breaching court orders.
Ms Doogan granted Hayman bail, on condition he live in Gilmore, not be intoxicated in public, not approach the Wanniassa address or contact the complainants, and provide a $500 self-surety.

This forum should be called, "Racist against blacks forum"
Posted in the Webster Forum

#9 Oct 9, 2012
I often times feel oppressed by the white haters that populate these forums. Just kidding. I do my part to deserve it.
Face it, both sides have mega losers. Who's worse? Let's call it a toss up, and go back to bashing RPD, the corrupt county/city govt and pedo cops.
This has the possibility of being an interesting forum... if we cancel "white guy did this" or "black guy did that" posts.
White guys aren't going to convince black guys there wrong, stupid or ignorant... or vice versa. It's an effort in futility on both sides.
#12 Oct 9, 2012
The thing is a lot of whites like myself work in the city, and well you do get to see a lot of blacks instead of the one or 2 per street in our nice suburban neighborhoods. Conclusion is holy cow whats wrong with these people. Yes there are some whites that make me sad for the human race also. In large though listen to how the majority of blacks speak to one another on any given street in the city and if you are a regular hard working "joe" black or white chances are you will be repulsed. I work closely with a black man he is hard working married man and takes pride and care in his family, and he is saddened when we are downtown by a bus stop or any place with a lot of black youth and you here what they are saying or doing. BTW yes there are prejudice people on this site black and white but by no means does it make you prejudice if you are white and point out the problems facing the city and black people. White's commit crimes to don't get me wrong.

Brotha's can call me anything they want. As long as it infers that I am white then I'm smiling.

I donated my time and rang the Bell for the Salvation Army one Christmas Season right out in front of Midtown. The brotha's were literally dealing drugs within 3 feet of me and running scams on people getting off the bus. These freaking guys were like wind up toys with their springs wound too tight. It was scam, scam, scam, drugs, drugs, drugs, sham, sham, sham, with them the whole shift. They never took a break. It's a shame that they couldn't put that kind of focus on a job or an education.

Yeah, that Dr. Huxtable was one scary ghetto mother f***er.
While we're on Bill Cosby...
Here's a guy who tried to put you in a good light and when he turned around and asked you to take responsibility and follow through, you all f***ing rejected him. Too much work to bother? It's much easier to follow Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons dogma that you are victims and to stand there waiting for your hand-out.

Seeing that you had to bring me into your racist rant,I will feed the racist troll once again(you)O.K.? 1) If you are so upset by logging on these threads why do you?- 2)More racist white rants against blacks,you got to be either blind,a liar or an idiot to say that when all you and the famous Racist Rhonda do is post anti white rants at every chance you get.-3)At 5'10" and 165 lbs I am far from a "fat ass" as you said.- 4)Sorry that you get upset about the fact that over 80%+ of your peers in the city are on some sort of goverment hand outs and over 73% of all babies born to your peers are born out of wedlock to mothers that don't have a clue who the father is.Sorry that only 10% of your peers never make it out of high school and drop out.-4)You said that SCS waits all night for one of your peers to commit a crime,she doesn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for that to happen.You do know that the media only reports appox.10% of the crimes commited everyday in the city don't you?-5)On one of your other rants on this thread you said that whites only know what they see on TV,you might be right,but when we see nothinng but blacks killing blacks along with the shootings,stabbings,ect what do you expect them to think?-6)Tell us how you get away with all of your racist slurs against whites while the whites would get banned from Topix? Could it be because of double standards? You bet it is.-7) It makes me feel great that I get under your thin skin so much,it makes me try harder to prove what a racist you and your crew really are.

You would like to BELIEVE that I'm all the posters on the "Asphalt Jungle live scanner feed"...I hate to disappoint you, I'm not! And it cracks me up that my imposter, who has been using my registered username ever since I busted him being Wyle Dapes/Helen (answering himself and neglecting to change usernames)has tricked you into thinking that we are the same person. This shows me that you are more ignorant than I orginally thought. You, dear, are one of two of the biggest racists on here! And you know this.

Guidelines for development contributions sought
Media release
20 February 2014
Guidelines for development contributions sought
Better council treatment of property developers would help housing affordability, says BusinessNZ.
Submitting on the Local Government Amendment Bill (3), BusinessNZ endorsed its provisions on development contributions.
BusinessNZ economist John Pask said councils were increasingly asking property developers for development contributions, with few guidelines to ensure this was transparent or consistent across different councils.
"A coordinated approach is needed so all councils adopt a consistent, transparent approach to development agreements with property developers. Also needed is an appeal process for grievances about the level or appropriateness of development contributions required," Mr Pask said.

This guide to the WordPress Menu system covers the basic tasks in creating a menu with the built-in menu editor.
When you define a menu, you need to give it a name, assign a location to it (where it will appear in your theme), and add items to it. A menu can contain items such as Pages, Categories, Tags, and Posts.
To select the items for your menu options, click the Screen Options button and select or deselect the checkboxes. For example, Posts are deselected by default, but you can make them available to your menu through Screen Options. New options appear immediately in a list under the 'Edit Menus' tab when you select their checkboxes.
You must define a menu before you can add items to it.
Your new custom menu has now been defined.
This example demonstrates how to add Pages to a menu. You can use the same methodology to add Posts, Categories, or other options to your menu.
Your custom menu has now been saved.
The Navigation Label
This field specifies the title of the item on your custom menu. This is what your visitors will see when they visit your site/blog.
The Title Attribute
This field specifies the Alternative ('Alt') text for the menu item. This text will be displayed when a user's mouse hovers over a menu item.
The WordPress menu editor allows you to create multi-level menus using a simple 'drag and drop' interface. Drag menu items up or down to change their order of appearance in the menu. Drag menu items left or right in order to create sub-levels within your menu.
To make one menu item a subordinate of another, you need to position the 'child' underneath its 'parent' and then drag it slightly to the right.
If your current theme supports custom menus, you will be able to add your new menu to one of the Theme Locations.
If your current theme does not support custom menus, you will need to add your new menu through the Custom Menu widget in the Appearance Widgets Screen.
Congratulations! Your new custom menu has now been added to your site.

Use The Strength Of Mind Reading To Compel Your Readers To Buy
We just engage in the next one stacked up in the line-and then another an additional. We often can just no longer be the positive person men and women would in order to be. The uncertainties and concerns in a lot of our lives.
Once a month the Plaza Hotel (formerly the Radisson) in Middleburg Heights, Ohio holds a psychic fair. They give out postcards typically the mail to people that have left their address previously in order to notify them of the next coming fair.
A good Psychic recognizes that free will changes the long run and quick to let you know that of course. If they foresee danger within your future something like that bad, they'll tell you but only to help you avert do not. One small change with your behavior will alter the upshot of the probable. Psychics know that and a beneficial psychic are fully aware how keep clear of the vision they uncover. If they see an accident on an important street, they could be tell an individual wait attending the light prior to taking off, since someone will ever try to run the red light. These people see you losing task because of inefficiency, they'll tell a person put onto your nose to the grindstone you may avert the job loss.
This is reverse psychology really. I'm not talking about being fake and a fraudster. I'm saying most people, including myself, stress over getting it wrong so stunt difficult .. You upwards filtering what you get or hedging and just keeps you stuck believing you are not good enough or not talented enough. I tell clients who are learning to obtain a psychic to create it up. They've never been wrong yet because to make it up they let go. The imagination is in the same a part of the brain as your psychic functions.
Patty: Right about clues. And I was very careful after i was telling the kinds. I gave them. I actually got a name, but I just gave them an truly. It really was very adamant about being the ex-husband that see, all testimonials are was still alive, price of I was without any physical evidence, had been no way I was going to tell the household. There was just no way Psychic readings .
I'm for you to be honest with a. I started benefit of psychic as a skeptic. However the believe in psychics, life after death, mediums, reincarnation or any idea that conventional science said was silly. On my mind, hints all new age nonsense.
Speaking to some psychic could be a unique live through. It can be enlightening or terrifying, helpful or hilarious, and it can help even those are generally a bit skeptical by nature. It simply takes a bit of time to get used on the idea.

'Neighbors' more like an 'Animal House'-sized 'Hangover'
"Neighbors" is an "Animal House" for "The Hangover" era, a frat-boy comedy that pushes the rude and raunchy envelope into daring and dirty new territory. Hilariously coarse, reasonably shrewd and clumsily sentimental, there's no reason it won't earn a billion and inspire a whole new generation of party-hearty "bros" to go Greek when they go to college.
The hook here is not just the appeal of this band of brothers — drinking, dope-smoking, hard-living loverboys — to their peers. They're also the sorts of guys Mac and Kelly used to be and wish they still were.
But Mac (Seth Rogen) has an office job that is pure drudgery. Kelly (Rose Byrne) is staying at home with Stella, their newborn. They have to lie to convince themselves that the obvious hasn't come true: "Just because we have a house and a baby doesn't mean we're old people."
They strain to keep their old lives — sharing the occasional joint, spontaneous sex (in front of the baby), club hopping.
"We can have fun AND a baby! Baby's first Rave!"
The trouble is, they can't. And having the up-all-night kids of Delta Psi Beta move in next door just rubs their noses in it.
The kids, led by Teddy (Zac Efron) and Pete (Dave Franco), may feign neighborliness and high fraternity ideals. But they're hedonistic beasts. Telling them to "keep it down" will never work.
And despite the "invite the old people in" flattery, despite Mac's taste for the magic mushrooms, booze and other substances the Deltas have in mass quantities, this means war.
The random laughs are sprinkled throughout this Rogenesque comedy — the shock-value profanity that the parents use in front of the toddler, the college dean (Lisa Kudrow) who will only do something about the fraternity's behavior when they make "headlines."
Whoever the screenwriters, the Judd Apatow-trained Rogen makes sure there are a dizzying array of killer one-liners. Byrne, as she proved in "Bridesmaids" and "Get Him to the Greek," can hang with the bad boys in terms of laying it all out there and cursing like a sailor.
But for such a short comedy, "Neighbors" drags. Director Nicholas Stoller creates little momentum between the schemes and counter-schemes. The outrageous stunts and boundary-pushing gags are as riotously funny as anything in any "Hangover" movie. And telling this story from both the frat brothers' and the indignant-nearly-adults-next-door's point of view broadens the appeal.
Yeah, we used to be like that. In our dreams.
But in between the belly laughs, "Neighbors" feels like a pulled punch, a mean comedy with a soft streak, a "Hangover" that never delivers the buzz.

Gift Ideas For Your Best Girlfriend, Mom, or Sister
10 Gift Ideas For the Women in Your Life From Emily Giffin!
Editor's Note: The following is a guest post written by Emily Giffin, author of Something Borrowed and four other best-selling novels. After passing on her tips for gift giving, she's sharing 10 of her favorite presents to give and receive! Click on the pictures below to find out more about each. And for more from Emily, like her on Facebook.
- Anything from the Iomoi website. I especially love the Lucite paperweights (I recently selected "urchin pattern sky" for a friend). I also enjoy the cupcake return address labels for birthday cards I send to friends.
- A subscription to a magazine, from the New Yorker to Vanity Fair to UsWeekly. The gift that keeps on giving.
- Kate Spade iPhone and BlackBerry cases. Live colorfully!
- Liz Victory cosmetic cases and totes. Because you can't have too many totes — and every girl is in need of a fresh, non-stained travel case.
- A custom yoga mat for those friends who have the gall to be healthy. My favorite color combo is pink and preppy.
- A commissioned sketch or personalized note cards by Inslee. I adore her work so much that I have her sketches on the homepage of my website and also framed in my office.
See the rest below!
- A vintage toy or record. My publicist gave me a record player for Christmas, along with five of my favorite albums. And my best friend gave me the old-school game Simon because I remarked that it was my favorite growing up. Original edition books are always nice, too.
- Jonathan Adler is a great site for fun, affordable gifts (and more extravagant ones, too). I like the book "Wacky Chicks," both for my zany friends and the ones who could use a little more spice in their lives.
- A monogrammed towel from B.D. Jeffries, my favorite gift shop in Atlanta, which is also an excellent source for off-the-registry wedding gifts. Call and ask to speak to Haley; she will hook you up for any occasion.
- Elenis "All Made Up" iced sugar cookies for a little pick-me-up or your next Girls' Night Out. Perfect on May 6th when Something Borrowed comes to the big screen!
Here are some more favorite gift ideas from my Facebook friends!

Durban - At least 417 people around the country died in the first 10 days of December.
This information was released by the chairman of the Justice Project South Africa, Howard Dembovsky, who said this figure was the worst he had seen.
He said road law enforcement needed to be visible throughout the year to alter bad driving habits and there needed to be harsher penalties for those who broke the law.
He said five people burnt to death when their taxi crashed and caught alight in Nelspruit on Monday.
In KwaZulu-Natal, at least 12 people died over a weekend that saw 174 people in the province arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
A drunken Durban driver killed another driver and left a pedestrian in a critical condition when he lost control of his vehicle in the city centre while trying to evade a roadblock at the weekend.
Five people died and six were injured when a bakkie overturned in Ashburton, near Pietermaritzburg, on Saturday morning, said Netcare 911 spokesman Chris Botha.
He said on Monday that Netcare 911 had attended 69 road accidents since Friday. Vanessa Jackson said ER24 had responded to 75.
Visitors are still flocking to the coast, said Andy Visser, spokesman for the N3 Toll Road Concession. - The Mercury and Sapa

Abstract Background Brain size is a key adaptive trait. It is often assumed that increasing brain size was a general evolutionary trend in primates, yet recent fossil discoveries have documented brain size decreases in some lineages, raising the question of how general a trend there was for brains to increase in mass over evolutionary time. We present the first systematic phylogenetic analysis designed to answer this question. Results We performed ancestral state reconstructions of three traits (absolute brain mass, absolute body mass, relative brain mass) using 37 extant and 23 extinct primate species and three approaches to ancestral state reconstruction: parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian Markov-chain Monte Carlo. Both absolute and relative brain mass generally increased over evolutionary time, but body mass did not. Nevertheless both absolute and relative brain mass decreased along several branches. Applying these results to the contentious case of Homo floresiensis, we find a number of scenarios under which the proposed evolution of Homo floresiensis' small brain appears to be consistent with patterns observed along other lineages, dependent on body mass and phylogenetic position. Conclusions Our results confirm that brain expansion began early in primate evolution and show that increases occurred in all major clades. Only in terms of an increase in absolute mass does the human lineage appear particularly striking, with both the rate of proportional change in mass and relative brain size having episodes of greater expansion elsewhere on the primate phylogeny. However, decreases in brain mass also occurred along branches in all major clades, and we conclude that, while selection has acted to enlarge primate brains, in some lineages this trend has been reversed. Further analyses of the phylogenetic position of Homo floresiensis and better body mass estimates are required to confirm the plausibility of the evolution of its small brain mass. We find that for our dataset the Bayesian analysis for ancestral state reconstruction is least affected by inclusion of fossil data suggesting that this approach might be preferable for future studies on other taxa with a poor fossil record.

Funding Planned Parenthood, but not abortion
A few months ago, Conservative MP Brad Trost was boasting that the government had "defunded" Planned Parenthood. But after more than a year of public waffling, the CBC reports that the government is about to approve funding for the group.
International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda has decided to approve a proposal by the International Planned Parenthood Federation to provide sex education and contraception in five developing countries…
The proposal gets around the thorny issue of abortion by asking for money for sex education and contraception services, and does not include abortion services. The funding is worth $6 million over three years for Planned Parenthood to work in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Mali, Sudan and Tanzania, where abortions are illegal except in cases where the mother's life is at risk.

Admissions & Info:
A student has the option of constructing a field of concentration and exam that is tailored to the student's particular interests. If a student chooses this option, it is his/her responsibility to identify and confirm three scholars, at least two of which must be AU faculty members, to develop the concentration, required courses, exam reading list, and to write, and read the exam. The three scholars involved determine the format for the construction and administration of the self-constructed exam in consultation with the student. The exam must be written and conform to American University Academic Regulations as well as SIS procedures for comprehensive examinations. In order for a self-constructed exam to be approved, the student must submit to the Director of Doctoral Studies the following information in the format of a memorandum:
The student first works with the three scholars to develop the exam and then provides the Director of Doctoral Studies with a completed draft. The Director of Doctoral Studies either approves it or sends it back for revisions. A student may wish to consult with the Director of Doctoral Studies at the outset to receive a preliminary assessment of whether the scope and content of the proposed field is appropriate.
In the case of self-constructed exams, the student is not bound by the standard examination dates. However, the student, faculty readers and the PhD Academic Advisor must all agree on an appropriate time for the administering of a sit down exam. Upon completion of the exam, the reading and grading processes will be the same as the standard comprehensive exams.
A student may pursue a Field of Concentration in another School or College at American University with the approval of the Director of Doctoral Studies as well as the Dean or Dean's Designee at the School/College. In such cases, the exam policies and procedures are established by the other School/College and the student is expected to adhere to those requirements. The PhD Academic Advisor in SIS will be notified and maintain records of the student's comprehensive examination attempts and will record any passed comprehensive examination results on the student's transcript.
Contact Kasey Neil Petri, the PhD Program Coordinator, at 202-885-6582 or email@example.com
We encourage prospective candidates to visit the University to meet faculty members and current PhD students. To arrange a visit, contact Graduate Admissions at 202-885-1646 or email@example.com

Opinion Editor
My day starts at 4-5 a.m. Why? Because I work at a barn and I have 17 hungry ponies to feed and take care of before showering (barn smell isn't appealing to most people) and going to class.
That sounds horrible, doesn't it? Two months ago, I'd agree with you — without some super important event (and sometimes even then), the soft bed wins every time. Yet in recent days I've become convinced that it's actually the opposite.
I'm not crazy, I promise. Here's why morning people have got it right:
1. I see the sunrise every morning. And it's beautiful.
2. First dibs on breakfast. 'Nuff said.
3. Traffic at 5 a.m. is almost non-existent. So are red lights. And cops. Win.
4. The coffee at the gas stations is as fresh as it's going to be — and the cashier people are so excited to see other living beings that they give you free doughnuts.
5. By the time everyone else is just getting going you've already been up for 3+ hours. The feeling of productivity and accomplishment is inevitable.
6. No chance of running out of hot water for showers. Especially a win when it's -5 outside (ask me how I know).
7. Quiet. Blissful, wonderful quiet. You don't realize how busy and distracting our world is until it's asleep.
8. Because you didn't sleep, afternoon naps are totally justified.
This isn't to say that everyone needs to start setting their alarms for 5 a.m. or that night owls need to have a Saul/Paul experience. If anything, it's to say, give it a go, if only once.
Go forth and seize the morning.

Bubblegum-Pink Plumes on Red Stems
Astilbe "Look at Me" is a great choice because...
● of its vibrant color
● it loves shady areas
● it stands out in flower arrangements
Fun Color
Astilbe "Look at Me" provides a fun color combination of bubblegum-pink plumes surrounding red stems and introduces a touch of whimsy into any garden. Add in the strong contrast to its elegant, lacy green leaves and you have plants that make people stop and smile, whether the flowers are in garden beds or in planters on the patio.
Hundreds of Tiny Flowers
Astilbe "Deutschland" is a low maintenance plant that rewards you with flowers in late spring. Step in close to examine the Astilbe "Look at Me" and you'll notice the heady scent from the hundreds of tiny, individual flowers that make up each plume. They make excellent cut flowers and add strong visual interest in dried flowers arrangements.
Shady Garden Solution
Consider Astilbe "Look at Me" a very attractive solution to shady areas. Look at Me thrives in moist, rich soil in partial to full shade. It does require some attention with respect to watering -- the soil should be moist at all times, especially the flowers are in containers. This plant looks especially stunning when featured around the edges of ponds or other water elements.

From Trevspool
[edit] Introduction
Hello fellow pool players, this has been devised as a place to record the exploits of the Trevs pool teams past and present.
The Captain for season 2015/16 is Alexander Myatt, for season 2016/17 the captains are Alex Crisp & Angus Hodgkiss, who should be contacted by anyone wanting Trevs pool information.
Notifications will be posted to this website, Trevelyan College Pool Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/134370256615857/
[edit] Philosophy
Filth. Two-shot filth. Cover the bag. Filth. Set up the in-off on the black (aka Tom Brett style). Use five deliberate fouls to push the black onto the top cushion (aka Jimmy style). Take 3mins + per shot (aka James Rentoul style). Flabagance. Canoodling. Crazy dancing between visits (seek out Crazy Dancing Fool aka Chris Pocock, successor to Ben Jarrett, for advice).
Motto (from the Latin): "You don't enjoy it, you endure it."
Unofficial Motto: "Non ludes ut vincas; ludes ut cladem vites."
lit. "You do not play to win, you play to avoid defeat."

[edit] Pool Ladder
[edit] Rules for Snowman Pool
1) Obtain a snowman
2) Put the snowman in a pocket so balls can't go into that pocket
3) Break
4) Move the snowman one pocket clockwise
5) Play next shot
6) Move snowman again and so on
7) If a double is potted the snowman reverses direction
8) If a plant is potted the snowman skips a pocket
9) If a player pots two balls at once they may move the snowman to a pocket of their choosing.
10) If a player goes in-off on the black they have to sing "Frosty the Snowman"
[edit] Rules for Killer
1) Before the game begins, decide and agree on the order that everyone plays and the number of lives that each person has.
2) The players take it in turn to play one shot each. The primary objective is to pot a ball. The secondary objective is to leave the cue ball in a position which makes the following player's shot tricky.
3) If you miss a pot, you lose a life.
4) If you pot the white, you lose a life.
5) If you pot the black (the so called 'Black Gamble') then you gain a life.
6) Potting more than one ball on a shot results in the gain of a life for each ball after the first (potting three balls would result in the gain of two lives, potting three balls including the black would result in the gain of three lives, etc.)
7) If no ball is potted off the break, then that person takes another shot. If a ball is potted off the break, then the following person has their turn.
8) Potting multiple balls off the break does not result in the gain of a life/lives.
9) If you pot the white off the break, you lose a life.
10) If all balls are potted, re-rack and continue playing, with the next player in line breaking.
11) When a player reaches zero lives, they are permitted one more shot. This shot has to be played one-handed. Dispatching the ball one-handed earns the player a life and they go back to having the option of playing with both hands.
12) If the one-handed attempt fails, then that person is eliminated from the game and the remaining players fight it out.
13) Last person standing wins the game.
[edit] Speed Pool
Rules: Pot all the balls in any order in the fastest time. Clock starts on the first shot after the break. Add your personal best here.

Date of Defense 2006-03-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractMy interest in the history and problems of the Bulgarian composers' school and specifically in the establishment and development of the Bulgarian violin concerto goes far back in my musical career. The Bulgarian composers and their concertos had essential contribution to my development as a violin player and greatly influenced me over the period of my formal education. It is important to notice the very specific and original nature of the Bulgarian music culture. Bulgaria did not exist on the political map of Eastern Europe because of the fact that it had suffered the turmoil of the Ottoman Empire for almost five centuries. Without its political and economical freedoms Bulgaria was greatly influenced by the Orient, as some thought that this specific cultural impact had very little to offer comparing to the level of European classical music at the time. Nevertheless, the theme of the establishment and development of the Bulgarian violin concerto is relatively new, as complete studies on it are missing or unreleased. There are not enough monographs that investigate and give us satisfactory information in this particular area. For these reasons especially, I think that such absence of research on the topic of the Bulgarian violin concerto would be a valuable prerequisite of my dissertation. Files
