Sharks fullback Pat Lambie is doubtful for the Super Rugby semi-final showdown with the Stormers on Saturday and he has been joined on the hobbles list by centre Paul Jordaan.
The omens do not look good for Lambie, who is still struggling with the ankle injury that kept him out of the qualifier against the Reds in Brisbane.
The Jordaan injury comes as a blow to Sharks coach John Plumtree as he battles to cover several key positions in the backline for the Newlands clash.
Jordaan first picked up the hamstring injury when playing for the Baby Boks in the Junior World Championships, which ruled him out of the game against the Bulls earlier this month, but he recovered in time to play off the bench in the final pool match.
His return was a timely one after Frans Steyn was deemed ineligible for the play-offs. Plumtree, though, said there was still a chance he would recover in time to face the Stormers.
Fortunately for the Sharks, Louis Ludik has impressed as Lambie's replacement at fullback so far, while Meyer Bosman would be likely to join Tim Whitehead in the midfield if Jordaan is unable to come through a fitness test later in the week.
Having returned to Durban on Sunday night, Plumtree said they would have to manage the players carefully in order to ensure they are refreshed and ready for game day.
"Everyone will feel better as the week goes on and by the time Saturday comes we'll be ready to go," he said.
"We'll be up for it alright, but we've got to be smart about our preparation this week. Everyone will be talking about the travel factor, but we knew we'd have to travel again if we got through our play-off; it just depended where we'd be going.
"We've had to come back to South Africa and the players are positive, at least they can sleep in their own beds and spend time with family. It's always nice coming home."
Reflecting on their big win at the weekend, Plumtree acknowledged it was the performance of their season.
"I thought the boys played some great rugby. I was really proud of the way they performed, we had to absorb a lot of pressure, but the way we defended said a lot about the effort.
"Our tackle stats were right up there and we spent a lot of time in our 22 in the second half. But our attack was good in the first half, and our defence was impressive in the second half, and in between the set piece functioned well."
However, Plumtree admitted there was a different prospect facing them this weekend.
"This season the Stormers beat us at Newlands and we beat them in Durban. It's the nature of (Stormers coach) Allister (Coetzee) and I to talk up the opposition, but I've always really admired the Stormers.
"They're obviously well led because they've performed so consistently and finished on top of the SA conference. They very rarely lose at home and it will be a huge challenge for us.
"I'm sure the Stormers will have been doing a lot of preparation after having the extra week off. We've built up some good momentum over the last few weeks, but we are coming up against a different animal this week, there are pros and cons for both sides.
"The Stormers have built a game-plan around discipline and consistency. They've got a big pack and a game based on territory and wearing the opposition down." - The Mercury

Australia's current account deficit widened to $13.74 billion in the June quarter, seasonally adjusted.
This followed a deficit of $7.8 billion in the March quarter, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) said on Tuesday.
The median market forecast was for a deficit of $14 billion in the June quarter.
The current account measures flows of income between Australia and the rest of the world, like interest payments and dividends, and transfers like foreign aid, as well as the export and import of goods and services.
The surplus on goods and services fell $3.6 billion in real terms, which would detract 0.9 percentage points from growth in the June quarter measure of gross domestic product (GDP), the ABS said.
Australia's net foreign debt rose to $865.46 billion in the June quarter from $848.3 billion in the previous quarter.
Australia's terms of trade on goods and services fell 4.1 per cent in the June quarter, seasonally adjusted.
The terms of trade are the price of exports relative to the price of imports.

A top Olympic official is dismissing allegations of a judging scandal in figure skating as nothing more than "gossip with no grounds."
Speaking to reporters in Sochi on Sunday, International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said the IOC would not be looking into the alleged judging scandal, and that it is the responsibility of figure skating's governing body to examine the claims.
He shrugged off a report in French sports magazine L'Equipe, which cited an unnamed source alleging the United States and Russia had struck a pact to award each country's skaters favourable marks in certain events, in order to secure gold.
"I've seen absolutely no evidence apart from what I've read in the [L'Equipe] and we'll treat that as a bit of gossip with no grounds," Adams said.
"Of course we take it seriously, but having read the report I didn't see anything other than an unnamed person making an allegation."
His comments came ahead of the conclusion of the figure skating team event on Sunday, with Russia securing gold with three skates to go. Canada won silver and the U.S. bronze.
According to the report, the pact would have seen the U.S. judge award favourable marks to Russia in the team event, where the U.S. is not a contender for gold, in exchange for the Russian judge boosting scores for Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White in the main ice dance event next week.
The pact, if true, would essentially lock down gold for each country in those events, while also blocking Canadian ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir from repeating their gold medal performance at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
Moir and Virtue are in a race for the gold in Sochi with their American rivals. Though the Canadians won the ice dance in Vancouver, they ceded last year's world championship to the American duo. It's about as close a battle as figure skating will see in Sochi.
Though unproven, the scandal has added yet another blemish to a sport that has long faced serious credibility problems over its judging.
So far the International Skating Union has been silent on the matter.
"It needs to get to the [skating] federation, it's not an IOC matter," Adams said. "It's not my job to look into the evidence. It should go to the skating federation and they should look into it."
The allegations of a judging fix were one of two scandals that have erupted around the team figure skating event, which is the first competition in figure skating at these Olympics.
On Saturday, Canadian team officials wondered aloud if their athletes were being unfairly targeted for random doping tests, since Canada has had seven athletes tested in Sochi, which they said was significantly more than other countries, based on conversations with officials from other nations. Two Canadian skaters were tested at midnight a few days ago, while Kaetlyn Osmond was awoken during her pre-skate nap Saturday afternoon and ordered to submit to a doping test.
Mike Slipchuk, Skate Canada's high performance director, said it is extremely rare for a figure skater to be tested prior to skating on competition day. It is standard for skaters to be tested after their competitions, and skaters know they can be called for random testings at any time, but those usually happen on training days.
"I've never seen one on a day of competition," Mr. Slipchuk said. "Our skaters don't complain about it...It's just interesting."
Canada is chasing the Russians for the gold medal in the team figure skating event. Heading into the final day, the Russians appear poised to take the gold, with 47 points. Canada is second with 41. To make up that gap Canada would have to skate nearly perfect in all three events on Sunday – the long program in mens, women's and ice dance – and hope the Russians falter badly.
The athletes have been reluctant to talk about the allegations of a judging scandal, with most of them saying they are focused on what happens on the ice.
"That's sort of out of our control," Virtue said after her performance in the team short program Saturday. "We have to take care of our job on the ice and focus on the task at hand."
U.S. ice dance skater Davis called the report "unfortunate" but said it wouldn't affect her. "We're so focused on our jobs and we don't know a lot about anything else," she said. "We're confident that what we're putting out onto the ice kind of speaks for itself and that's kind of what we stand behind."
The possibility of another high profile judging scandal involving Canada brings back memories of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics where Canadian pairs team Jamie Salé and David Pelletier lost the gold to Russia's Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze amid a series of puzzling scores for presentation and technical merit.
French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne later revealed she had been pressured by French figure skating officials to award the Russians high marks, in exchange for similar treatment for France's ice dance team.
Salé and Pelletier were eventually awarded the gold medal, along with the Russians, but figure skating was irrevocably tainted in the eyes of fans and sponsors. The sport would also spend several years trying to repair its reputation following the arrest of a Russian mobster who was accused of organizing the scandal, though he was never charged.
Figure skating has attempted to revamp its scoring system to make the judging more objective. Among the changes, marks are now anonymous under a so-called "blind judging" system designed to prevent specific judges from being exposed to pressure. And when final scores are tabulated, the highest and lowest marks are dropped, in order to weed out heavily inflated scores, or unusually low marks.
However, there are questions as to whether the new system has done what was intended. Critics of the new method argue the anonymous judging system actually reduces transparency on figure skating judging, making it impossible to know which judges potentially torque their scores.Report Typo/Error

REFUSE collectors in Chirk are creating more mess than they are clearing up, according to one visitor to the town.
Mona Jones contacted the Advertizer after visiting friends at Pen Y Waun on the local collection day.
The pensioner, who lives in Bronygarth, near Weston Rhyn, said she was "appalled" to see the mess left by Wrexham County Borough Council refuse collectors.
She said: "All the tenants and residents are expected, voluntarily, to place their rubbish in the appropriate boxes for collection day. What point is this if the refuse collectors, who are employed, spill the rubbish all over the streets and leave it for someone else to pick up? Everyone, including the refuse collectors, have a duty to do their bit to keep the place as tidy as possible and also to remember that the spilt rubbish could be a hazard to young children who live there."
Mrs Jones continued: "It might have been windy on the day I was there but that is no excuse. Their job is to empty the bins and they are not doing a proper job, they should be putting it in the van.
"It might be because they are so busy and so pushed, but they should be doing the job properly," she added.
Councillor for Chirk South, Terry Evans, said: "I know an issue has been reported this morning and the road sweeper has been sent out, but I do not know which area that is.
"We have had problems in Old Rhos Y Waun in the last few weeks, but I believe that has been sorted," he added.
A spokesperson for Wrexham County Borough Council said: "We are not aware of any complaints or issues concerning refuse collections in this area.
"If anyone has any concerns regarding their refuse collection they should contact Pride in Your Streets 01978 298989 or email email@example.com."

Murder to mystify Morinville theatre patrons
Saturday, Mar 22, 2014 06:00 am
Saturday, March 29 Cocktails at 5 p.m., dinner at 6:15 p.m.
Morinville Community Cultural Centre
9502 � 100 Ave.
Dinner theatre tickets: $50 regular, $25 cancer survivors
Call 780-977-8130
Mature content
It�s not exactly Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, however a group of Morinville community actors have decided to put the funny in the secret agent game.
Organizers for the cancer fundraiser Relay for Life are mounting An Evening of Murder: Terminal Espionage on Saturday, March 29 at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre.
The whodunit is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. Organizers hope to surpass the $2,000 generated from their 2012 production of Love and Marriage, and director Charlene Bouvier explained that 100 per cent of profits will be donated.
As part of a series of murder mystery party games aptly structured for dinner theatre, Terminal Espionage sets the stage for solving a murder. Each suspect has a hidden agenda and mysterious background. False and sometimes deadly clues are planted and the game is afoot.
�It�s dinner theatre at its best. You have great audience participation. Actors go around and you can ask questions. We mingle a lot with our audience,� says Bouvier.
The crime scene is a secluded luxury hotel in the fictional Nocktavia. Billionaire Joseph Lawrence is hosting one of his infamous, dripping-in-money birthday parties. Despite the tight security, eight spies from different countries infiltrate the festivities.
The ballroom has been turned into a night of enchantment. The music plays softly when suddenly a blood-chilling scream is heard. Guests dash out to the balcony only to find the birthday boy strangled.
There are eight stereotypical suspects. Natasha Kozlov (Bouvier) is a secret agent posing as a singer. Will this be her final encore?
Fritz Vaughn Heusen (Lonnie Jason) is the bartender with a secret recipe. Is murder one of the ingredients?
Alexandra Winfield (Shantelle McDermid) is a highly erotic woman and possibly a double agent.
Jenna Curran (Kerry Kiers) is the French maid. Would she stoop to serving murder?
Ivan Tolstoy (Ryan Kiers) is the suspicious security guard with a license to kill, and Angelo Decca (Joe Klement) is the gigolo with expertise as an undercover operative.
Jessica Collins (Joan-Marie Galat) is the grieving fianc�e, and lastly, Simon Rickman (Sean Farand) is a computer whiz capable of crashing complex systems.
The murder mystery�s three acts are interspersed with a three-course meal that includes a kale salad, beef tenderloins and a dessert titled Crime Br�l�e.
�The actors mingle with the audience and you can ask questions and try to guess who the murderer is,� Bouvier said.
Unlike most plays in which actors learn lines over a long period of time, Terminal Espionage is primarily improvised.
�You have to have a good sense of humour and a quick wit. Some actors find it hard, but the actors I have are awesome,� Bouvier said.
Harpist Galen Noland, a nominee for the Mayor�s Celebration of the Arts Awards, will play the soothing instrument music before the play starts.
Bouvier simply asks that the audience put on their deerstalker caps for an evening of deduction and lots of laughter.
�It�s never the same two nights in a row, and people get right into it.�

Affordable gun safes?
hello all! anyone have any ideas about anything that would work as a gun safe? I am putting all weapon purchases on hold until I have a safe:(..I dont want to spend more than $500. this safe will either be in the garage or in a shed(these are probably the 2 worse places but its the only place I have room for one) Thanks for ideas!! James
nvm, found lots of ideas in the thread above.found a place locally that sells used safes and steel lock boxes.
I bought one at Dicks.. It was $599, marked down to $549, and because it was the display model with a couple of small scratches, got it for $499. It is a "Stack-on", 24 gun safe. Don't expect to get 24 in there though!!!
Although I don't know the specifics of your situation, my suggestion is to get a proper fire rated gun safe. If you can't at least afford the basic model that has a fire rating, start working overtime! Seriously, I'm amazed when people have hundreds or thousands of dollars in guns, ammo, and accessories, and then buy a cheap sheet metal non-fire rated cabinet. You can get fairly compact safes that you can hide (sort of) We have a Liberty 24 safe that weighs 875# empty and stands about 5' tall. I had to put plants on it just to make it disappear:rolleyes:
Anyhoo, whatever you can afford, make sure it's fire rated, and get a Goldenrod dehumidifier for it. Also, BOLT IT DOWN!!! And whatever the gun capacity says,
DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!;) You will fill it up in no time. Good Luck.

Reviews for Stuffed Peppers for Two
Average Rating
"Did not care for this. Bland. A decent base though."
"This recipe has worked well, several times, with some modifications, for we two empty-nesters.Modifications: 1) cutting peppers lengthwise, instead of cutting the tops off. Keeps 'em upright while baking, wastes less pepper, exposes more meat to oven heat, cooks faster & takes extra cheese to cover them! Win-Win-Win-Win-Win!!! 2) pre-cooking both beef and rice. That way, I know they're both done. 3) add a chunk of cheese in the bottom, before stuffing (thanks Angela320) 4) I don't blanch my peppers. We like a little crispness to them!"
"Made these for dinner last night, and they were great!...only the rice was still a little hard...next time, think I will cook the rice first!"
"a bit dense for my like, but still pretty good... will try it again to see if a few modifications will help. Also, I added fresh garlic, which gave the beef good flavor."
"Can't beat my mom's recipe, but I enjoyed these stuffed bell peppers and would certainly make them again."
"Turned out well, but a little salty. I'd recommend cutting the amount of salt in half. Otherwise really good, though."
"Really good, will add this again..drew a blank on what to serve with it..finally realized mashed potatoes and corn would be great"
"Very good!"
"So good thank you we will use this recipe often!!!"
"This was real yummy!"
"These are very good. I did make my own tomatoe sauce, take a 14oz can of stewed tomatoes and add a little tomatoe juice and blend with stick blender works great. Did not blanch the peppers used more sauce so they steamed . Will make again cover and cook until meat is 165 use all the tomato sauce"
"These are good! They do take longer to cook...it took an hour or more both times I made it. I used mushroom soup in place of the tomato sauce one time and it is good both ways!"
"Since we are empty nesters I was glad to find this recipe for two. They were really good, will definately be on my menu again!"
"My husband really liked these. I found it a bit hard to know when they were done. I had them in the oven for about 1 and a half hours and it still didn't look done even though I think it was."
"I love these! Don't use to small of casserole dish though, because once the juices get to flow over they can easily over flow. YUMMY!!"
"These were really good! Hubby really liked it, and says ok to make again! That's when I know I've cooked something tasty!"
"I've made this recipe a few times. I usually use red peppers (I just think they taste better!) and it's pretty basic, I melt on the cheddar cheese for the boyfriend and he loves it. This recipe is SUPER SIMPLE! If you are an apprehensive or beginner cook like I am, this recipe will be easy-peasy for you :) Also, you can usually get 3 peppers out of it incase someone wants seconds!"
"I always use Garlic flavoured pasta sauce for this and drop a chunk of cheese in the bottom ( in addition to the cheese that is mixed in ) so the bottom is extra cheesy."
"Excellent, classic stuffed peppers"
"I have made these several times. I usually make more so I have leftovers. They are good re-heated."
"This recipe was delicious! I will never go back to the stoufers frozen peppers. Thanks again for the GREAT recipe! Will be making again and again!"
"This was delicious. We are a family of 4, so I made more. I used regular rice instead of instant rice. This recipe is a keeper!"
"We used Red Sweet Peppers instead of the green and it was fantastic. A definate 'DO OVER' in our house!"
"This was yummy!!!"
"Hubby & I made this recipe last night, but instead of green peppers, we used sweet red peppers, cut in half (we doubled the stuffing portion of the recipe). It was FABULOUS! The stuffing was nice and moist and the flavor with the red peppers was very good. A definite DO OVER at our house!"

This Macklemore article was written by Ben Malkin, a GIGsoup contributor. Edited by Stephen Butchard.
One compliment you can give Macklemore is that his songs are actually about something, as silly as some of them might be. Great songs don't require far-out meaning, but finding songs that have a unique subject matter in the charts is reminiscent of everyone's favourite metaphor about needles and haystacks.
'This Unruly Mess I've Made' sees Macklemore & Ryan Lewis follow-up their 2012 multi-platinum breakthrough, 'The Heist'. The duo are famed for their approachable blend of pop and hip-hop, a hybrid that remains intact on their latest release.
Opener 'Light Tunnels' documents Macklemore's struggles with fame, particularly his sudden breakthrough. It's one big ramble, but it's a coherent, personal ramble with a lot of intimate details about discomfort at award shows. 'Let's Eat' is a cute track about dieting, or at least intending on dieting, with Macklemore's usual corny flavour. 'Growing Up' is a sweet ode to Macklemore's child, and 'Downtown' is about mopeds and girls; the latter combination somehow produces the best song on the album. In a way, 'Downtown' is 'Thrift Shop' part two, and it's definitely worthy of being so, and speaking of, Eric Nally's vocals on the hook are outstanding.
In terms of subject matter, 'White Privilege II' is the heavyweight of the album, as you would expect from the title. The lyrical content is strong, mainly because it involves Macklemore's struggles and personal feelings towards racism; this includes other people's reactions to him partaking in the 'Black Lives Matter' movement, and whether his involvement is necessary or legitimate. The topic is explored in a complex, multifaceted fashion, and while the song isn't spectacular, its admirably open and honest.
The album is full of one-liners; some enjoyable, some nauseating. 'Brad Pitt's Cousin' has a few fun little jabs at Macklemore's own goofiness, including a funny line about how every white dude in America goes to the barbershop and gets the Macklemore haircut. Still, the chorus is stupidly cheesy, as is the section where he seems to go full-Kanye and screams "AUSTRALIA, THEY HEARD OF ME, GERMANY, THEY HEARD OF ME!". 'Need to Know' is another song with a few lines that aren't as special as intended, but that's obscured by the strange Drake-influence that even Chance the Rapper's guest appearance couldn't fix.
'Dance Off' is a collaboration with Idris Elba and Anderson Paak. Don't worry, you aren't dreaming. It's a pity that this collaboration has led to what is easily the worst, most sickeningly cheesy song on the album. It's a party song, but a very embarrassing one.
There is a second name on the record, that name being producer Ryan Lewis. Nothing about the production is sloppy; there may be a few pop clichés, like some of the drum fills in the otherwise funky 'Downtown', but overall, the beats are tight. The way the bass appears in 'Bolo Tie' is a nice touch, and the real qualities in production mainly do lie in that small attention to detail.
As mentioned, 'White Privilege II' is a fulfilling listen, but by that point, it's hard not to be tired after enduring most of what comes before it. 'This Unruly Mess I've Made' isn't an unruly mess by any means, but despite a few likeable tracks and a star-studded set of features, the album feels overwhelmingly silly. There is no consistency in quality, but there is consistency in goofiness; luckily, said goofiness is sometimes enjoyable. But only sometimes.
'This Unruly Mess I've Made' is out now via Macklemore LLC.

Authorities identify burglary suspect killed in crash
Truck was being chased, shot at by security guard.

Authorities have identified a woman killed in a vehicle crash that occurred during a chase by a security guard at a South Side auto parts store that had been burglarized Wednesday evening.
Joann Revilla, 46, died at University Hospital around 8 p.m., three hours after the collision near Texas 16 and Applewhite Road, according to San Antonio police and the Bexar County medical examiner's office. The driver and a male passenger were injured and taken to Brooke Army Medical Center.
Police said a security guard at Pick-n-Pull saw two men and a woman stealing parts from the self-service auto parts business' massive lot on Applewhite Road just before 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The guard fired several shots at a fleeing green Ford Ranger, but none of the truck's occupants were shot, police said.
The truck's driver then sped on the shoulder of Texas 16 through a red light at Applewhite Road, colliding with a Dodge sedan, police said. The truck's three occupants were all ejected, police said. None of the three people in the sedan suffered serious injuries.

Hospital officials said one man was in critical condition and the other in stable condition. Both men may face criminal charges, a police spokesman said.
Records show Revilla was jailed in 2007 on a charge of theft from $50 to $500.
A clerk at Pick-n-Pull said thefts are common at the lot: Criminals pose as customers, he said, and throw parts over the tall, white perimeter fence. Gates at the lot close at 5:15 p.m., he said.

Perth Glory striker Billy Mehmet has left the A-League club in order to link up with Thailand outfit Bangkok Glass FC.
Glory coach Ian Ferguson said he has already sounded out several potential replacements for the hard-working Mehmet, who scored 10 goals in 42 games for the club.
Mehmet's departure frees up an international spot on the Glory's roster, with Ferguson keen to secure a player before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month.
"We have got one or two irons in the fire overseas and we're waiting to see what happens with those, whether they are still progressing," Ferguson said on Friday.
"We have put a couple of things to certain players and hopefully if it comes off, it'll be great for Perth Glory."
Mehmet, who has been used largely off the bench whenever Shane Smeltz has played this season, was keen to join a club where he could earn a regular start.
"I can't guarantee anyone a first team place, and Billy is 29 and he wants to be playing regularly," Ferguson said of Mehmet's reasons to leave.
"It's disappointing, but we don't want unhappy players here either and if anyone wants to move on and head overseas, we won't stand in their way.
"We've got good attacking cover.
"Travis Dodd can play up there, as can (Steven) McGarry and we've got (Chris) Harold and (Ryo) Nagai as well.
"Hopefully the players we bring in will do a good job for us."
Perth will be aiming to break back to the winners' list when they host Sydney FC on Saturday night.
Smeltz is set to start against the Sky Blues despite suffering a slight tweak to his groin at training this week.

Great-grandmother of children killed in crash dies
Updated 11:35 pm, Tuesday, June 26, 2012
The mother of a woman preparing to bury her daughter and four grandsons who were killed in a crash last week died of natural causes Tuesday, relatives said.
Anita Gonzalez died in the morning at Kindred Hospital San Antonio, where she had been for some time, said a granddaughter, Margie Rodriguez Hernandez.
"She had been sick," Hernandez said. "She's been in the hospital for two or three months and just passed away this morning."
Hernandez said her aunt, Gloria Mendoza, now has a sixth funeral to plan. Last week, Mendoza's daughter, Roxanna Mendoza Demers, and Demers' four sons, Ezra, 1, Jeshua, 4, Abram, 8, and Silas, 9, died after Roxanna's husband drove the family car into a bulldozer.
Police said Larry Demers, 35, was speeding and drunk. He remains jailed on charges of intoxication manslaughter and assault.
While most of the family died in the West Side crash, Abram was hospitalized for three days before he was taken off life support. His grandmother, Mendoza, never left his side, relatives said.

A service for Roxanna Mendoza Demers, 31, and her four sons will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Castillo Mission Funeral Home, 520 N. General McMullen Drive. Visitation will be held at the same location following the service until 7 p.m.

Bokaro, Aug. 2: A BJP leaders text messages asking residents to boycott functions to celebrate the arrival of the Queens Baton to the steel city on Thursday has propelled police into planning elaborate security arrangements, including deployment of at least six companies of security forces under the watchful eyes of three deputy superintendents of police.
BJPs Dharmavir Kumar Singh, said to be close to senior party leaders like Arjun Munda and Sarayu Roy, has sent out SMSs to hundreds of residents saying that spreading the red carpet for the Queens Baton was to humiliate Indias freedom fighters.
Agar ap kartein hain Queens Baton ka swagat aur maan, to hoga Bharat ke shahidon, swatantra veeron aur Bharat Mata ka apman (If you give a warm welcome and honour the Queens Baton then you are insulting Indias freedom fighters and martyrs who laid down their lives for country), read the SMSs.
Dharmavir later told The Telegraph that he would hold a black flag demonstration and stage a dharna near Mahatma Gandhis statue to oppose the arrival of the Baton.
More than 20,000 children from over 35 schools of Bokaro, along with thousands of residents, will be taking part in ceremonies to welcome the Queens Baton on Thursday once it comes into the steel city via the Telmachho bridge after an overnight halt at Dhanbad.
Not taking any chances, North Chotanagpur IG Manoj Kumar Mishra has asked his colleagues to be alert in the run-up to the event.
Apart from the DSPs and the six companies, about six inspectors and scores of junior officers would be on duty that day.
Reacting to the SMSs, CID IG Anurag Gupta alerted the Bokaro district administration today asking it to keep an eye on local BJP leaders. Bokaro SP Saket Singh also assured residents and school authorities there was no need to panic and that he would ensure that the 22-hour stay of the Baton in Bokaro was trouble free.
Dharmavir also claimed he had written to several schools. I have written letters to school principals not to send their students to welcome the Queens Baton which is a symbol of slavery, he said,
I am not opposed to the Commonwealth Games. I only wanted the name of the baton to be changed. he added.


text: Politics 19 March 2008 Spreading the love Beyond the walls and barbed wire, Tim Walker finds hope for marginalised people in South Africa Sign up for our weekly email * "When all is said and done, no matter what you have achieved, no matter how many summer homes you own, no matter how many cars sit in your driveway, the quality of your life will come down to the quality of your contribution . . ." It was that line from Robin Sharma's The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari that inspired James Fernie, a 36-year-old white South African who in a previous life was a sharp-suited lawyer at Clifford Chance in Canary Wharf, London, to set up an organisation called Uthando. The word means love, and Fernie is into what he calls its "practical applications". Working in the tourism industry until last month, he came up with the idea of levying roughly £15 on every itinerary to South Africa sold by the top-end tour operators - a number in the UK have already signed up, including Bailey Robinson, Safari Plus and Tana Travel, as well as Travel Focus in Ireland - and then channelling the money into organisations that help the country's destitute and marginalised communities. It's all done transparently, with the operators drawing their clients' attention to the levy. There's a reputable firm of auditors involved to keep an eye on the books. And, what's more, from the beginning of August Fernie plans to take interested donors to see for themselves how their money is being spent. "We'll be going in small groups and in such a way as to educate, inform and inspire while also respecting the dignity and privacy of the people concerned," he told me. "The places we go to will obviously not be treated as tourist attractions. The aim is to make the people being helped become real to the people who are helping them." Fernie took me on a pilot visit to Khayelitsha on the outskirts of Cape Town in the Cape Flats. From the Mount Nelson Hotel, where I was staying, it took scarcely half an hour by car, but psychologically the journey was somewhat more substantial. Among the rows and rows of dilapidated shacks that line the dirt tracks to this, reputedly the third-largest township in the country, is the Khumbulani daycare centre. Gloria Bebeza, a bright, cheerful woman of 46 with an infectious laugh, came out to greet us. She was holding the hand of a child no more than five years old and who is HIV-positive, one of 160 children who attend the centre. "It is estimated that 40 per cent of the people here have HIV/Aids," said Fernie. "There is no such thing as a traditional family unit in these townships and so families are unable to look after their own." The project had originally been intended as an orphanage but its application was turned down by social services because the official policy is to move towards foster care. Gloria, who co-founded the daycare centre, and her friend Nondomiso have adopted ten children between them. "They have a need for love, like everyone else," said Gloria. "That is what we provide here, in addition, of course, to advice about this illness, and food. We also grow our own beetroot." She laughed once more: Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, the health minister, had lately scoffed at the idea that antiretroviral drugs were the answer to HIV. Better, the minister had said, that people worried about the virus should eat plenty of garlic and beetroot. Next stop was Bishop's Court, an exclusive enclave high in the hills above Hout Bay, with thick walls, barbed-wire fences and signs warning potential burglars that "armed guards" were on patrol. We were welcomed to a grand old colonial house where, on the perfectly manicured lawn, we found the old ladies of the Jewish Seniors Society being serenaded over tea and cakes with the music of Cole Porter. I looked quizzically at Fernie, who had clearly learned about being a guide from A Christmas Carol. He pointed to the black youngsters who were singing. "They are from the Hout Bay Music Project, another organisation that we are supporting. People think of Hout Bay as a beautiful place but they may not be aware that 95 per cent of the land is occupied by the white inhabitants. The black and coloured people are crammed into the remaining 5 per cent of land in shacks and little brick houses. It is from these that the youngsters performing today have come." As we left, I asked Fernie what would become of the young people who had been singing so beautifully. "It'll be up to them," he replied. "The point is they have been given a chance to develop a talent and they have got to join an organisation that has a good reputation. A lot of them will go on to perform professionally." The next stop was the Sentinel Primary School in the coloured township of Hangberg, home of the Jikeleza dance project, where 150 children between the ages of six and 18 receive daily classes in classical ballet, contemporary, street, African and Spanish dance. Fernie introduced me to Edmund Thwaites, a professional dancer of some repute in South Africa, who runs the project full-time with his partner, Atholl Hay. He handed me notes on the dancers. One on the list caught my eye: "Age: 15. Father: Unknown. Mother: Seen him only once. Notes: Severe burn scars on his legs. A born ballet dancer." In the townships, Thwaites said, there is a terrible stigma to young men dancing, but many of them have, along with the girls, gone on to establish themselves professionally. "I try to let them express their problems such as sexual abuse and Aids through dance," he said. "Dancing and movement can often express a child's feelings better than words." If anyone had thought, as I had, that having got to the top of Table Mountain, sampled the fine wines of Franschhoek and Hermanus, and seen the African penguins and the Big Five in Kruger, they had "done" South Africa, I'd recommend they have a word with James Fernie. "Apartheid is over but its legacy, and the shacks, remain. Nobody can say they understand South Africa until they understand that."

Everybody loves pancakes and we particularly love the smell of them cooking and wafting through the house. A day started with pancakes is a happy day. When you first make these pancakes there is a point just before you add the egg whites where the batter looks like thick glupe; don't panic it will work!
Serves 4
Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Wheat Free, Vegetarian
You will need:
- 1 large apple
- ½ cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise
- 3 cloves
- pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- 200ml pomegranate juice
- 200ml grape juice
- 20g jumbo porridge oats
- 240ml low fat natural yoghurt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla paste
- 60g jumbo porridge oats
- 40g brown rice flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 100ml apple juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 free-range egg whites
- groundnut oil for greasing
- Core the apple, leaving the skin on and cut into 8 segments. Place the apple in a heavy based saucepan with the cinnamon, star anise, cloves, nutmeg, pomegranate and grape juice. Cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes. Remove the apple segments with a slotted spoon and reserve. Return the pan to the heat and boil the juice and spices for 15 minutes until reduced to a thick syrup. Pass through a fine sieve to remove the spices. Return the syrup to the pan with 4 of the apples segments. Cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Using a hand held blender, blitz to a smooth puree. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the oats over a non stick baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
- In a small bowl mix the yoghurt and vanilla paste together.
- Place the oats, brown rice flour, baking powder, apple juice and cinnamon in the bowl of a food processor and blitz to a smooth paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- In a clean grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites to form soft peaks. Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold the egg whites into the pancake paste, keeping as much air in the mixture as possible.
- Heat a large non-stick frying over a medium heat. Brush with ground nut oil. Drop a large tablespoonful of the batter per pancake into the pan to make pancakes about 6cm across. Make four pancakes at a time. Cook for about 2 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake, then turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden. Transfer to a warm plate and cover with kitchen paper to keep warm, while you make another batch of four pancakes. You should have eight pancakes in total.
To Serve:
- 100g blackberries
- 60g raspberries
- 80g blueberries
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
Arrange two pancakes on each serving plate. Pour over the pomegranate & apple puree/syrup and top with a spoonful of vanilla yoghurt. Spoon over the reserved poached apple segments and sprinkle the blackberries, raspberries and blueberries around the plate. Scatter over the toasted oats and decorate with a sprig of mint
Balance Box Tip
You only need a tiny amount of oil for cooking pancakes, so use a non stick pan and using a pastry brush, brush the base with oil. Alternatively pour a little oil onto absorbent kitchen paper and wipe the paper around the pan. Making four pancakes in the pan at once is much less labour intensive than one at a time, and means only having to cook 2 batches.
This recipe was taken from Jennifer Irvine's book 'The Diet for Food Lovers'. Available to buy here.

A Canberra woman who was raped while unconscious said the crime made her want to "rip her skin off", a court has heard.
She said she had been changed forever after falling victim to Danilo Sordini in her own home in 2013.
Sordini, 56, was jailed in the ACT Supreme Court on Tuesday morning having pleaded guilty to sexual intercourse without consent.
Sordini had been serving a sentence for theft and dishonesty offences when he and the victim smoked ice and engaged in sexual behaviour at her flat between 8am and 3pm on August 13.
About 4pm, the woman had an argument with another man, who left the unit, court documents said.
She became anxious and took a sedative to relax, but then lost consciousness, only to awake to find Sordini having sex with her.
The victim struggled against him before losing consciousness again.
She was naked and on the floor when she woke some time later.
The victim confided in a friend the next day, who then reported the incident to police.
Forensics discovered semen matching Sordini's DNA inside the woman's underpants.
Justice Richard Refshauge sentenced the offender to two-years-and-10-months jail for the rape.
He will be eligible for parole in June next year.
The judge said the crime had been aggravated by the fact it had taken place in the victim's home and he had persisted despite her attempts to stop him.
Justice Refshauge said the offence had clearly been committed for Sordini's sexual gratification.
"The crime of rape is an intensely personal crime," the judge said.
"No other sentence but full-time prison is appropriate."
The court heard Sordini had 56 convictions on his criminal history, most for dishonesty and traffic.
But he had lived long periods of his life crime free.
At the time of the sex offence, he had been serving a sentence from the ACT Magistrates Court that included six months of periodic detention.

TigiGrey4 JAN, 2015So good! Even our children loved it. The recipe was surprisingly easy. The first time we made it, we paired it with a hearty stew, wilted kale with caramelized onions, and toped each heaping bowl with a spoonful of pom/cran relish. Delish! Can't wait to try it on a sandwich, or even a grilled cheese.Reply
SKS18 NOV, 2012This is my go-to favorite cranberry sauce, and everyone who has tried this has asked for the recipe. The pomegranate seeds add great texture and jewel-like accents, but even without them there's still a nice Pom flavor from the juice.Reply
phxsue74728 NOV, 2010This has become one of our families favorite recipes. I think I would omit the shallot next time, but it was still amazing.Reply
shyva26 NOV, 2010Absolutely delicious! I skipped the pomegranate seeds since I know they would've been a pain to chew on, but the rest worked great with turkey. The shallots take this from a sweet syrup you would put on dessert to a savory sauce. Previous reviewers must've not made this correctly!Reply
herglasslegs26 NOV, 2010This is TERRIBLE. I agree with JaneHex. The Shallots are not necessary and make the relish taste funny. In fact, we all agreed last night that the dish tasted like hot barf. Ridiculously disgusting. I'll never make this again.Reply
JaneHex25 NOV, 2010Didn't like this at all. The shallots are unnecessary and the pomegranate juice makes it taste very bitter, even with all the sugar. Also, DON'T add the seeds!! They are hard and woody and chewy and RUIN the texture. Stick with a traditional cranberry sauce with orange juice, zest, and sugar.Reply
sandiegocookinbythesea24 NOV, 2010Delish and so easy! I added 1 TBS of Grand Marnier prior to boiling. This will be on the table for every Thanksgiving from now on.Reply

Roberts Revival iStream Internet Radio
Buy Now...
click image to enlarge
It is 24x10x14cm, the last figure the height is with the six piece 70cm rod aerial retracted. The radio (without optional batteries) weights close to 1.3kilos.
The rear has the rod aerial, line out socket and DC input. The left side has a flip clip that opens the back to allow 4x'D' cell batteries to be inserted. All the controls are on the top of the unit.
The centre of which is a 6x3.5cm black on white five line display. Each end of the top has a large knob the left one is volume when turned and on/off when depressed. The right one moves through menus and selects when pressed.
Above the volume knob are two 3.5mm sockets for headphone/earbuds and Auxiliary input. To the right of these a USB socket to allow you to play MP3 stored on the USB stick. Below this a column of three buttons Mode, Menu and Info. To the right of the display a column of four buttons Forward, Back, Preset and Last.FM.
The display shows what you are listening to IE DAB, FM Internet Radio etc and the current time. The second line is the station or track; the next two lines are details from that station or track and on the fifth line some icons.
Sound quality from a small radio was reasonable from the two speakers, although on occasions I thought speech could be sharper.
The modes available are DAB, FM, Auxiliary, Internet, Music Player and Last.FM. The last may need some explanation, this has two modes a free and paid mode the latter without adverts and you are given a 31 day voucher for the latter with the Radio. Once you have fed some names into the Last.FM site it plays mostly music you like and using the forward button you can bypass anything you do not want to listen to, your own radio station.
On initial switch on you must key in your wireless modem passcode (only needed once) and from then on even after a lengthy disconnection – without batteries - it is remembered and you can then listen to thousands of stations selected by country or genre of just by name. I found the radios buffer excellent and never lost a station.
There is a 100 page manual that is easy to read and has enough illustrations. It explains everything in detail so all features should be available. For example USB stick comes under a sub section of Music Player this is possibly not immediately obvious.
There are of course Alarms and a Sleep timer so it can sit beside your bed. I liked the unit and used it without problems even in area that often struggled to receive a good wireless signal.
My one complaint is that to see the very informative display you have to be above the radio meaning a low table if used in bed. Perhaps a flip up display as with a lot of recent All In One printers would enable reading from below.
While UPnP should normally be easy to setup it often is not and there is a good section in the back of the manual showing possible problems.

Throughout history, powerful regimes have used art to reinforce their control and shore up their claims to legitimacy.
Two current exhibitions (reviewed in The Japan Times, Oct. 30) trace the relationship between artists and rulers in Europe — one spotlighting the Versailles court of Louis XIV, king of France, the other showing paintings from the collection of the Austro-Hungarian Hapsburg Dynasty.
Meanwhile, proving that Japan is no exception is an exhibition of works by Kano Tan'yu now at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu won a decisive victory at Sekigahara, clearing the way for the Tokugawa bakufu to become the longest-lived of Japan's military regimes, surviving until 1867. In its early years, however, the bakufu's grip on power was less than total, and it was not until the destruction of rival warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1615 that the dominance of the Tokugawa Shogunate seemed assured.
Power gained, what the Tokugawa rulers sought next was legitimacy. To that end, an ambitious program of artistic and architectural iconography was implemented — with Kano Tan'yu, okueshi (artist to the shogun) — chief among its executors.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of Tan'yu's birth — hence the timing of this exhibition — but it is only in recent decades that the painter's crucial role in Tokugawa statecraft has been seriously assessed. Through the late 1960s and early '70s, art historians tended to dismiss Tan'yu's work as being stylistically insubstantial and his influence, and that of the Kano School, as merely perpetuating the same insipid artistry for generations.
Since then, however, scholarly opinion has been swinging in Tan'yu's favor, peaking in 1999. In that year, Toshie Kihara of the Agency for Cultural Affairs received the prestigious Shimada Prize for "Yubi no tankyu: Kano Tan'yu ron (The Search For Profound Delicacy: The Art of Kano Tan'yu)," and Karen Gerhart, now associate professor of Japanese art at the University of Pittsburgh, published "The Eyes of Power: Art and Early Tokugawa Authority."
Now this impressive exhibition gives viewers a chance to make up their own minds, comprising a wide range of Tan'yu's work, from small sketchbooks and albums to large panels temporarily removed from the audience chambers of Nagoya Castle and Nijo Castle in Kyoto.
The first two exhibits, "Plum, Bamboo and Birds in Snow" (1634) and "Pawlonia and Phoenixes," are exquisite — and confirm that Tan'yu chose wisely when selecting for his professional name the Chinese characters for "elegance" and "beauty."
The phoenix is an ancient Chinese motif symbolizing good fortune, and it is thought this magnificent pair of gold-leaf screens was used at weddings. "Plum, Bamboo and Birds in Snow" at first seems its stylistic opposite, since less is more in this sparse composition, with the heavy weight of snow not painted onto the sliding panels, but given shape by leaving areas untouched. Kihara argues that this use of untreated spaces broke new artistic ground, and that Tan'yu employed such techniques to create atmosphere and to disrupt the traditional placement of elements within pictorial composition.
However, there were other, more prosaic considerations governing many of Tan'yu's compositions. For instance, the "Plum, Bamboo" sliding panels, as well as those titled "Wasteful Payment for an Observation Tower" and "Compensating the Governors" (both 1634), were created for the Jorakuden of Nagoya Castle — where the areas of the panels that remained visible when they were slid apart to create doorways formed the focus of the design.
The Chinese sages depicted in the Jorakuden works were part of a decorative program intended to project an image of virtuous rule. Inspired by the Japanese version of a Chinese manual, "A Mirror for Instructing the Emperor," these offered models of good conduct (and cautionary tales of bad behavior). The example shown here is an easy-to-read lesson in frugality and good governance, the Han emperor in question having heeded the advice of his retainers to abandon a vainglorious building enterprise.
The most famous of Tan'yu's "political" paintings were done for Nijo Castle, the shogun's Kyoto residence whose construction was begun by Oda Nobunaga and completed by Ieyasu. Tan'yu provided the final touch to this symbol of shogunal power during the rule of Ieyasu's grandson, Tokugawa Iemitsu, with monumental depictions of pines on the panels of the castle's audience halls.
Gerhart's in-depth analysis of this pine-tree imagery draws on the tree's meaning in Chinese and Japanese folklore and poetry, and the reciprocity achieved by the presence of real pines visible in the garden outside. The principal meaning, however, is plain to see: The pine's branches spread outward, never upward, and high in the tree sits a hawk — a clear message to the shogun's retainers to know their class and place and respect those in power high above them. "Tan'yu depicted the simple pine tree as a powerful and captivating image," writes Gerhart, "subtly transforming it into a symbolic expression of Iemitsu's legitimate right to rule."
Tan'yu built myths of power not only around his master Iemitsu, but also around the Tokugawa Shogunate itself. Two striking works on show are portraits of Ieyasu, here under his posthumous name of Tosho Gongen. Though predictably showing the former shogun seated in elegant surroundings with swords by his side, what sets these works apart from generic images of the time is Tan'yu's rendering of his face with an individuality that even extends to faithfully depicting his somewhat bulbous features.
Perhaps influencing Tan'yu's realistic portraiture was his habit of drawing from life — a technique not widely practiced at the time. Examples here include portraits of his friends Ishikawa Jozan and Sakuma Shogen (the latter clutching his tortoiseshell cat), delicately colored studies of fruits, grasses and flowers, some fluid linear sketches along the Tokaido, and a beautifully observed painting of an otter. The latter offers an intriguing glimpse into the discipline and eye for detail of an artist whose most famous animal subjects are, rather unfairly, the lumpy, amiable tigers — painted not from life but from tiger-skins — which romp across screens in the abbot's quarters of the Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto.
Shukuzu, small-size sketches or copies of Japanese and Chinese paintings, are another rarely glimpsed genre of Tan'yu's handiwork on show here. Tan'yu was renowned not only as a painter but also as an art expert, and collectors would bring pieces to him asking for them to be identified or their provenance authenticated, offering gifts in return for his services. Tan'yu would copy the works and record copious additional information which, together, have now become invaluable aids to art historians — as well as being lively examples of Tan'yu's wide-ranging skills.
As Tan'yu's most recent champions, Kihara and Gerhart are agreed on the dominant traits of Japan's most influential political painter: beauty and power. Tan'yu's influence and authority in the art world of his day led the Meiji Era art historian Okakura Tenshin to dub him "the Ieyasu of the painting world." His art, however, has long outlasted the secular power it was created to serve.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
by Andrew Hallam
reviewed on X360
Step Up Your Game Scott
Due to the release of the Hollywood movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the original graphic novel series of which it blossomed has transferred from cult classic to a widely known franchise. The Scott Pilgrim series revolves around a 23 year old Canadian hipster named Scott Pilgrim who lives with his homosexual room mate Wallace Wells. Near the beginning of the first book, Scott falls in love with an American delivery girl named Ramona Flowers and soon learns that to be with her he must defeat her seven evil exes.
Typically, a video game spawned from a blockbuster movie tends to lack quality due to its main function being to exploit hype and convince gamers to part with even more of their money. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game stands to be one of the exceptions to this rule. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game puts the player into the shoes of Scott as he battles through seven unique worlds each ending with a stand off against one of Ramonas evil exes. This does not have to be a solo experience as up to three friends can join you and play as Ramona, Stephan Stills or Kim Pine.
Seven Deadly Exes
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game is a 4 player co-op beat-em-up that is not only a great addition to any Scott Pilgrim fans collection, but also a great game overall. While the movie was as loyal as it could be within its runtime, the game steps in to provide a more in depth and faithful adaptation of the comic books. The game follows the evil exes story arc, cutting out most parts of the books that did not include Scott kicking some ass. The game also adds sections that were not included in the books such as the need to fight your way through waves of ninjas and zombies. However, this is pulled off in such a great way that is truly faithful to the Scott Pilgrim style that you barely notice it.
The game has seven unique zones that you can travel to from the games world map, which holds a striking resemblance to the world map seen in many Mario games. Each zone revolves around the eventual defeat of a different one of Ramonas exes. However, one of the zones pits you against Nega-Scott since you fight two of the exes in a single stage as they are twins. Each zone is split up into three stages in which you fight against a range of different enemy types. These range from super quick emo kids to fire breathing stuntmen dressed as green dinosaurs.
The game has been said by many to seem like an unsanctioned sequel to the classic beat-em-up River City Ransom. This is justified considering a lot of its gameplay aspects are borrowed from the title. This includes RPG-esque stat building, in-game shops and the ability to use practically anything as a melee or thrown weapon. The similarities to those older side scrollers does not stop there though. The entire game is elegantly crafted with sprite-based graphics that, while giving it a distinct retro feel, also add to the overall experience immensely. Not only that but the games soundtrack, written and recorded by the chiptune punk band Anamanaguchi, provides an amazing soundtrack reminiscent of the old 8 bit Pokemon game music.
If Your Life Had A Face, I Would Punch It
Combat is kept simple, with a mere four buttons being used for different attacks. Two of the four buttons consist of the usual weak but fast attack, and the strong but slow attack. The other two attack buttons result in a character-specific special attack. These are quick and damaging, knocking back all the enemies in their area of effect.
fun score
A simply amazing tribute to many retro games. Co-op and buyable items provide hours of replayability even after the game is complete.
Minor infrequent freezing and frame rate issues.

Publishers Weekly Reviews Catherine Wagner's Fourth Collection, Nervous Device
Oh, we are so excited. Publishers Weekly has taken a liking to Catherine Wagner's newest book, Nervous Device, which is out in October from City Lights Spotlight series, edited by Garrett Caples. PW writes:
Wagner's fourth collection contains poems of memory and dark artifice. She writes with an obscure, magnetic lens. Wagner's longer poems are willfully disorienting: "A Well Is a Mine: A Good Belongs to Me" consists almost entirely of lines encased in quotation marks that confront slavery and invent equations: "Freedom × Need = Reality." Wagner contrasts these complicated poems with short, clean, pieces that offer a kind of breathing space for the reader. Not to be mistaken for trivial, the linguistic tightness of these poems are highlights of Wagner's collection. "Ta" describes a drowning television: "o'er and o'er/ let it stink way down/ and coral grew there./ Covered it oar./ Let miserere deep./ Be mine for'air." The poems delve into and self-consciously warp body, sex, and language. "Unclang" explores writing poetry: "it takes experience to write a real poem that is well-lit," Wagner argues. Later in the same poem we are blindsided by the haunting statement that "writing a poem is like reaching two prosthetic limbs out as far as you can on either side to grab something in front of you. You can't grab it but maybe you'll take flight."
To read the first two poems from the book and the table of contents, go here now.

'Mean Girls' Focus Of Attorney General Seminar
Experts gathered Thursday at a seminar hosted by the Ohio Attorney General's Office about bullying.
According to statistics, one in seven kids is bullied every day, and many times, girls are on the wrong end, CrimeTracker 10's Jeff Hogan reported.
Sandy Hunt said that she had spent years studying bullying.
"Some are seriously injuring other kids," Hunt said. "Some have even killed other kids because of bullying. Some of the school shootings have been related to bullying."
Hunt said that boys usually have a certain beef to settle with someone and physically fight.
Girls are more likely to alienate each other and make jabs at others via social media networks, Hogan reported.
"Let's face it, people like to be popular," Hunt said. "People want to have that power, and some will do anything to keep it – from saying nasty things to social exclusion to just putting someone else down," Hunt said.
Hunt said that the downward spiral was leaving girls seriously affected.
"We are having young girls who are becoming depressed and even becoming suicidal," Hunt said. "I think, as a community, we need to be teaching them social skills, that it's OK to be nice."
Experts said that one of the reasons female bullying goes under the radar is because incidents among girls go largely unreported, Hogan reported.
Some signs to look for are unexplained injuries, damaged clothing and making excuses to stay out of school or off the bus, Hunt said.

29 U.S. Code § 796d - Statewide Independent Living Council
To be eligible to receive financial assistance under this part, each State shall establish and maintain a Statewide Independent Living Council (referred to in this section as the "Council"). The Council shall not be established as an entity within a State agency.
Members of the Council shall be appointed by the Governor or, in the case of a State that, under State law, vests authority for the administration of the activities carried out under this chapter in an entity other than the Governor (such as one or more houses of the State legislature or an independent board), the chief officer of that entity. The appointing authority shall select members after soliciting recommendations from representatives of organizations representing a broad range of individuals with disabilities and organizations interested in individuals with disabilities.
Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the Council shall select a chairperson from among the voting membership of the Council.
In States in which the Governor does not have veto power pursuant to State law, the appointing authority described in paragraph (1) shall designate a voting member of the Council to serve as the chairperson of the Council or shall require the Council to so designate such a voting member.
Except as provided in subparagraph (B), any vacancy occurring in the membership of the Council shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment. The vacancy shall not affect the power of the remaining members to execute the duties of the Council.
The Council is authorized to hold such hearings and forums as the Council may determine to be necessary to carry out the duties of the Council.
The Council shall prepare, in conjunction with the designated State entity, a plan for the provision of such resources, including such staff and personnel, as may be necessary and sufficient to carry out the functions of the Council under this section, with funds made available under this part, and under section 730 of this title (consistent with section 721(a)(18) of this title), and from other public and private sources. The resource plan shall, to the maximum extent possible, rely on the use of resources in existence during the period of implementation of the plan.
Each Council shall, consistent with State law, supervise and evaluate such staff and other personnel as may be necessary to carry out the functions of the Council under this section.
The Council may use available resources to reimburse members of the Council for reasonable and necessary expenses of attending Council meetings and performing Council duties (such as personal assistance services), and to pay reasonable compensation to a member of the Council, if such member is not employed or must forfeit wages from other employment, for each day the member is engaged in performing Council duties.

Nov 12 and 13 were gorgeous days and a trip to Fort Myers were so promising. After two and plus hours (some can do in two hours) we arrived at the Wigert's Bonsai nursery. There were many people in the event; however, the organization was superb. From the parking lot, sales area, bonsai displays, any place were carefully planned to make a very pleasant experience to everybody.
The demos, critique, personal collection along with the warm attention given by Andrea, Erik and all the people working there made the event a real treat.
The styling competition was fun! Ten people participated and we could feel the tension in the air with great involvement of all. Pedro Morales chose the winner.
Wigert's Bonsai is a beautiful place with many choices of trees to buy and an inspiring awesome private collection to spend hours in delight!
