Bobbie Brown: "It's scary and sad and I have to say that Jani should be here today"
For Longtime readers of this page or anyone wise to hair metal pop culture, Bobbie Jean Brown needs no introduction. Bobbie is currently promoting both her reality show "Ex Wives of Rock" and her telltale autobiography "Dirty Rocker Boys", which is good fun (Think 50 Shades of Grey on Aquanet and Meth). I recently spoke with Bobbie about the book, her show and lots more, read on..
LRI: Hello again Bobbie. I know you have been out talking about your book "Dirty Rocker Boys" and you mentioned on Opie and Anthony that you felt like there were a couple other books you could possibly write as well, can you elaborate on that?
Bobbie: I have so many more stories that obviously didn't make it into the book that I could tell and tell all day long.
LRI: It's a great book and a lot of fun but as a big Jani Lane fan I think you could really write a book exclusively about your lifelong dealings with Jani.
Bobbie: I want to and that's why I kind of held back because there has been so much that has transpired since his death and since I first talked with you that I've found out so I kind of want to do a book just about that. I've mentioned it here and there and it's been talked about. The issue hasn't been pressed because obviously I'm focused on promoting "Dirty Rocker Boys" right now but it's definitely being considered down the road.
LRI: "Dirty Rocker Boys" didn't disappoint me in any respects and I was glad to see you were blushingly raw during the entire read.
Bobbie: (laughs) Right.
LRI: You're also pretty candid talking about your family and there are a lot of things I didn't know about you and your dad in particular. I think it's cool that you were named after him. Do you think there are ways that your relationship with your dad has affected some of your relationships over the years?
Bobbie: I have never consciously, in the moment, thought that over the years but in retrospect, yeah probably because that's what they say anyways, they always say that there's that correlation so it's likely. I don't really know how it makes sense because it kind of doesn't to me personally but I guess that's kind of the way it looks.
LRI: On the other hand, if you and your mom had always had the stability that your stepdad provided your entire life could have been drastically different.
Bobbie: Oh absolutely. Like I look at how I was raised in my dad's household and my little brother was raised in my stepdad's household and he's just a completely different soul, different temperament, everything. He's just different in every way, he doesn't have any anger issues, he's just a completely different chill person and I think that environment growing up just has a lot to do with it. What your child has to see or deal with or endure growing up has a lot to do with who they become and how they develop their relationship skills as well as what you'll tolerate and what you won't and I think it really does play a big part in what you do every day subconsciously, I really do.
LRI: You talk about Leo and Costner and the bio sheet from your publicist says something to the effect of "hooking up with everyone from Hollywood" (laughs)
Bobbie: (laughs) Yeah, I hated that; I was like "That's a LOT of people". That's not really true. That's what it sounds like but the truth of the matter is there were a lot of "attempted hookups" on their part and they always turned out really badly so really that statement is not really an accurate or true statement.
LRI: Does the whole process of recanting these stories for the book tour ever make you feel like a slut or a whore? The nonstop discussion of the gory details?
Bobbie: No, because I know the truth. I know that I wasn't fucking a bunch of people and nor was that my intention back then. If that was their intention then that was never known to me because that was never my intention. My intention was simply riding the wave of attention that I was getting.
LRI: Were you ever concerned that you were spilling too much dirt here in "Dirty Rocker Boys"?
Bobbie: No, because at the end of the day I am just telling the truth and giving my perspective on the way things happened; things that I was a part of so really there was nothing to fear unless I was lying because then I would fear being sued probably. To answer your question, no I wasn't concerned because that was my life and that was a part of my life and I am pretty much an open book like you say so of course the actual book needed to come off that way.
LRI: You have had some pretty interesting dealings with the Nelson Brothers and Tommy Lee and you present both their good and bad sides. Have you gotten any feedback from any of the people you've talked about in the book?
Bobbie: This book was very cathartic for me and gave me closure on a lot of things that I had repressed for a really long time so on my end I am fine. I have not heard any other feedback from people, knock on wood, surprisingly but I know that before it came out there were some people who were really not happy that they were gonna be in the book or did not want to be included in the book or were just fearing my mouth of course. Then I heard from people like Athena who was like "Wow, you were much nicer about my brother than I expected" and I was like "You know, it may have seemed like the book was revolved around him but the fact is that the stories that play out in the book are all from that time frame where my heart was broken and all those crazy stories were due to THAT breakup so that may seem like it all revolves around him because that's really how it was, that really was my downfall at that time.
LRI: That's your negative story arc right there…
Bobbie: Right, it's not that it was the most relevant or was my highest priority relationship it's just that was the moment that I had gone off the deep end for real.
LRI: I will admit to being mildly annoyed by your Tommy to Jani ratio in the book. I am probably guilty, like others, of continuing to always view you as Mrs. Jani Lane/Ms. Cherry Pie. Do you think a lot of people will always see you in that role no matter what?
Bobbie: Yes but I think that for most of the public that association is only because of that video. I think that if we hadn't done that video it wouldn't be that way really; it would just be that I was his wife. Because I was in the video and it was such a huge part of the era and that kind of music it became so much more than just being about our relationship. The fact that I am doing this today is because of that video.
LRI: Warrant was so popular even before the video came out and the whole thing just pushed them even further. How much of an insider to the band did you feel like back in those days or in retrospect; how much of an insider do you think you were?
Bobbie: Probably not as much as people sometimes think I was or would like to think. You know what I mean? I came into that world; I wasn't there from the ground up. Like you said, they had an entire hit record before I was ever even involved at all and I came into their scene. All the other wives were already staples in their world before I was there so in so many ways I was sorta the last one to join the Warrant party. Then within a year or so it was already in danger of being smashed out with grunge so while people like to associate me mostly with that Warrant era, when in all reality I feel like I was the last one in to the party. I had just gotten on the bandwagon.
LRI: I am such a fan of Jani as a writer and think he is really underrated in the grand scheme of things so it was nice to see you mention that he was such a huge part of the musical end of Warrant?
Bobbie: I just talk about what I saw and what Jani told me in terms of all of that. I saw him writing those songs, I saw him dealing with publishing, he was a really prolific and creative guy. Taylar is really creative as well, I am really proud that she made the Dean's list in College.
LRI: Jani's passing was a massive loss to a lot of people. Has time helped you or your daughter at all in terms of dealing with it?
Bobbie: Honestly, when I don't think about it, I guess. It is pretty shocking to me how much time has already passed but I have to say that if I even allow myself for a second to listen to his music or think about him or think about what we're all missing it definitely makes me very sad and I know it does for my daughter. She would never admit it but I know her and I know it's the little things for her, all the time. I know she's still very affected by it and it's really hard for both of us but especially for her. I know she tries to be strong but I know she wishes he were still here, just as I do.
LRI: Are your daughter Taylar and Jani's other daughter Maddi close?
Bobbie: They had a falling out over some bullshit after his passing but they've since had some communication and are on good terms now, which makes me really happy and she's thrilled about that too. I guess everybody just goes through a grieving process where they're just freaking out and everyone really does just that but eventually everyone realizes what's important so they have a relationship again, which is good. They haven't really seen each other but they communicate.
LRI: The book also talks in great detail about your meth addiction which was pretty bad at some points. You did an excellent job of describing what it was you found attractive about meth initially, have you ever felt the urge in recent years to go using?
Bobbie: There's always temptation and there's even been times where I've tried it but as soon as I've tried it I have always been like "Oh, man, FUCK this shit". First of all, any time you've used a drug to that point of excess it never gives you that same feeling it did back then. It only goes back to the moment you left it so it will never give me the same high it will never let me lose the same weight just like it will never do any of the other things that it once did. So, the whole appeal is gone and you're left with the whole shit end of it and there's no good feeling in going back to that.
LRI: It's not going to make you feel like 1996 Bobbie?
Bobbie: Oh FUCK no. If that were the case I would probably still be a drug addict (laughs). That's just not the way it goes or the way your body works.
LRI: Do you feel like you're a better mom, a better person overall than you were in those days?
Bobbie: I'm a completely different person and looking back on my former self feels like I'm watching a movie or telling the story of someone that I followed. It's really surreal and bizarre but yeah, I feel like I have matured and I have grown in so many ways but at the same time in so many ways I am still a fuckin teenager. Seriously, I am still probably one of the most immature people I know but at the same time I have matured, at least in terms of some pretty important things.
LRI: I really hope you're serious about going forward with the Jani book, there is still very little closure on his death…
Bobbie: I know but here is my concern. I have so much information that I haven't really shared at this point and I know that it would be compelling but at the same time it is also very scary. I would be scared for my safety, I would be scared about a lot of things and it would blow your mind if you knew some of the things that have come down since the last time we spoke. The case is no longer open but a lot of things have transpired since then. I have never stopped investigating and the things that I've come to find out, some people might say "She's crazy, that's crazy, blah, blah, blah" but I have to tell you that all the things I've come to learn, all the pieces of the missing puzzle have fit and it's scary and sad and I have to say that Jani should be here today. I want to write a book because I want to find out who basically….that's all I want to say.
LRI: So, that part of the mystery hasn't changed for you since the last time we spoke then?
Bobbie: No, it's only gotten more and more clear. Oh my gosh, it would blow your mind John really, it would blow your mind and writing about Jani is something that I have already discussed with my book agent and of course they're willing to hear me out when the time is right and they're not completely shut out to the idea like "No, no". Writing about Jani has been in some really serious, detailed discussion because I feel like it's something that is really important.
LRI: Who checked him into the hotel room?
Bobbie: I don't know honestly but I will say that I am confident in believing that he should be here today and that he entrusted his life to people he thought were his friends and people he thought he could trust and they intentionally fucked him and left him to die.
LRI: Wow.
Bobbie: I say that because that's what I firmly believe and it bums me out bigtime and you can't think about it without feeling that way. I just wanna know who.
LRI: Changing gears a bit, the book did make me laugh more than a few times, particularly the Matthew voodoo doll story. It may be your Louisiana upbringing but you do mention that you believe in spirits and things unseen. Your past interview with us you spoke of the time you sought a medium to communicate with Jani and people gave you shit.
Bobbie: So many people are just closed off to the idea , they just don't think that it's even possible, they don't want to open their eyes to the possibility that it's like "Ok, who are you to say that it's NOT possible?".
LRI: I can respect you having the balls to say that. So, have you had any other dreams involving Jani or communications or weird happenstances involving him since the last time we spoke?
Bobbie: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Yes, insane! Crazy? Yes but yet so unbelievably impossible to describe that it's scary.
LRI: How's he doing?
Bobbie: Jani?
LRI: Yes, Jani Lane.
Bobbie: He's okay with it now. He's come to terms with where he is and what happened. He's bummed out and he has a lot to say, a lot of apologies and he says things very directly. You are going to think I'm crazy for saying all of this John but it is some seriously amazing shit. Maybe I shouldn't say any more and should just save it for the book but yes Jani has a lot left to say. Basically, he wants me to let the world know what happened.
LRI: He was really focused on being sober and probably had a lot more music in him. Everyone will remember the totally coherent and upbeat appearance on That Metal Show because it was so shocking when he died soon after.
Bobbie: He had so much in the works. It was surprising because of that interview but he did have a slip up where he was going through a rough time at home and was very unhappy in his current situation and had no support system close to him and the people he did trust were secretly sabotaging him. Instead of being dumped off at a hotel he should have been brought into a hospital which is where he was begging to go.
LRI: Before I let you go until next time…What's going on with your TV show, "Ex-Wives of Rock"?
Bobbie: It's going really well actually. We're coming back for a third season. The reaction to season two has been fucking awesome.
LRI: Lots of shows aren't afforded third seasons. What do you attribute the show's success to?
Bobbie: The difference is what I think is going to allow us to keep our longevity, our show is truly not scripted and we are legitimately four looney, crazy ass bitches who have known each other for 20 plus years and we're very honest with each other and very honest with the audience so it never feels fake or forced, it's just us and people can relate to that. There's never a reason to force some kooky situation onto us because we are all just naturally kooky. If anything Season 3 is shaping up to be even funnier than Season 1 or 2 although I will say that we don't even know what we're gonna see when we sit down to watch the episodes. We're just as surprised to see how they turn out as everyone watching is because basically they just have shitloads of footage of us fucking around and then they just sit there and edit it and work it into the final product. Thank god we are working with an excellent company because we are always blown away when we see the show along with everyone else.

Canadian Provincial Carrier to Test B2 Biodiesel in Half its Fleet
24 April 2006
The Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) will test a B2 (2% biodiesel) blend in half its buses in the coming year. STC plans to blend the fuel in its storage tanks in Saskatoon and use the mixture in all buses which fuel at that facility, approximately 54% of its fleet.
State-owned STC provides transportation throughout the province of Saskatchewan. In 2005 it carried 267,385 passengers more than 3.2 million miles, to and from 275 communities in the province. It also carried approximately two million pieces of freight, mostly to rural communities, over the course of the year.
STC will use one million liters of diesel fuel from its Saskatoon facility over the course of the year, working out to about 20,000 liters of biodiesel for the blend. STC will be using biodiesel supplied by Milligan Bio-tech.
We already know that biodiesel fuel burns cleaner than regular fuel, and is therefore better for the environment. The company wants to give the fuel an extensive testing to gauge potential savings in terms of mileage and motor life.
This has the potential to be a win-win-win situation. The use of biodiesel would be good for the environment, it has potential to be good for STC's bottom-line, and it will assist the development of a value-added industry within our agricultural sector.—Eldon Lautermilch, Minister responsible for STC
The Saskatchewan Transportation Company is a Crown Corporation of the province of Saskatchewan. It was established by Government Order In Council in 1946 and its operations are governed by its Board of Directors, under the authority of The Crown Corporations Act, 1993.

My experience has been with clothes including several wedding and christening gowns. I love quilting. I recently made my first quilt for a new niece due any day now. My 9 year old granddaughter wants to learn so we are going to make a quilt together. It is a great way to spend time with this creative little girl. I think we will start off with a wall hanging so she doesn't get discouraged. I really enjoy seeing the work that others put on this site and will add some of my own in the future.

Summer's freshest berries are everywhere – the farmer's market, grocery store and corner fruit stand. What better way to celebrate the season's fruit crop than with a homemade muffin?
Today's recipe for Summer Berry Muffins combines the juicy goodness of fresh strawberries, blueberries and blackberries with a pound-cake-like muffin.
We enjoyed them straight out of the oven hot and fresh. But the next morning they were amazing. All the flavors had settled in so nicely. They were the perfect accompaniment to a fried egg and a hot cup of coffee. But seriously, as we finished the rest of the muffins through the next day, I couldn't find one thing that they didn't accompany well – hot tea, my dinner salad, a late-night glass of milk…. You get the idea!
Summer's best berries will only be in abundance a few more weeks. Don't miss the opportunity to celebrate with this delectable muffin recipe.
Summer Berry Muffins
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup plus 6 teaspoons granulated sugar, divided use
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, capped and quartered
1 cup fresh blueberries, stemmed
1 cup fresh blackberries
1. Center an oven rack and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and ½ cup sugar. In another bowl combine milk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry just until mixed. Fold berries into batter.
3. Spoon batter into 12 paper-lined muffin cups. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of the remaining sugar over the top of each muffin. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until muffins are light golden brown. Muffins will not test done with a wooden pick because of fresh berries. Allow to cool 5 minutes before removing. Serve as desired or remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store muffins in a tin or glass sealed container (plastic will make the muffins sticky) for up to 3 days.

Listen (RealAudio) | How to listen
Poem: "Passengers" by Billy Collins, from Sailing Alone Around the Room © Random House. Reprinted with permission.
At the gate, I sit in a row of blue seats
with the possible company of my death,
this sprawling miscellany of people -
carry-on bags and paperbacks -
that could be gathered in a flash
into a band of pilgrims on the last open road.
Not that I think
if our plane crumpled into a mountain
we would all ascend together,
holding hands like a ring of sky divers,
into a sudden gasp of brightness,
or that there would be some common spot
for us to reunite to jubilize the moment,
some spaceless, pillarless Greece
where we could, at the count of three,
toss our ashes into the sunny air.
It's just that the way that man has his briefcase
so carefully arranged,
the way that girl is cooling her tea,
and the flow of the comb that woman
passes through her daughter's hair...
and when you consider the altitude,
the secret parts of the engines,
and all the hard water and the deep canyons below...
well, I just think it would be good if one of us
maybe stood up and said a few words,
or, so as not to involve the police,
at least quietly wrote something down.
Literary and Historical Notes:
In 1941 on this day, the Japanese attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. Early in the morning 183 Japanese fighter planes took off from aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean. They used broadcasts from Honolulu radio stations to help them navigate. The planes arrived off the coast of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, shortly before 8:00 in the morning. Radar at Pearl Harbor had picked up the fleet, but the Americans assumed the planes were B-17 bombers coming from California. Bombs began to drop over the docks at Pearl Harbor along "battleship row." Approximately an hour later 168 more planes appeared dropping more bombs. Eight ships were sunk or severely damaged and 347 U.S. military airplanes were destroyed. The battleship Arizona exploded, killing nearly all of the crew on board, accounting for 1,177 of the total of 2,300 American deaths at Pearl Harbor. The ship burned for days after the attack due to the fuel on board.
Up until that point President Roosevelt had refused to join in the Second World War going on overseas. After the attack the president announced in a short radio broadcast to the country that lasted less than 10 minutes, that December 7th was a date that would "live in infamy." Congress declared war on Japan the following morning.
It's the birthday of novelist Willa Cather, born on a farm near the town of Winchester, Virginia (1873). When she was 9 years old, her family moved to Red Cloud, Nebraska, where the Cathers lived in the "Story and a Half House" which appears in her novels. Eleven people lived in the house, and all of the children slept together in the attic.
Red Cloud became the setting and inspiration for many of her novels, and the characters in her novels were drawn heavily upon the frontier spirit of the Bohemian, Swedish and other European emigrants as well as the Native Americans of the region who settled the prairie along the Divide.
While growing up, Willa Cather was friends with the town physician who allowed her to assist with a limb amputation. When she was 14, Cather went to the local barber for a crew cut and began wearing men's clothes, a habit she continued into college. Sometimes she went by the name, William Cather Jr., and sometimes William Cather M.D. In a classmate's album she wrote that perfect misery was doing needlework and perfect happiness was amputating limbs.
After graduating from high school, Cather enrolled in pre-med classes at Lincoln, but then switched to English. She became a regular columnist for the State Journal. Cather graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1895. She moved to New York to teach English and write for a variety of newspapers and journals, including McClure's magazine, where she was the managing editor for six years. In 1912 she took a trip to the southwest and was inspired her to quit her job and write novels. She said, "Life began for me when I ceased to admire and began to remember."
In 1923 Willa Cather won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel, One of Ours (1922), about a Nebraska farm boy who refuses to settle for a ready-made fortune and instead went off to fight in World War I.
In 1925, her novel A Lost Lady was made into a silent film staring Irene Rich, who often starred opposite Will Rogers. The film premiered in Cather's old hometown of Red Cloud, Nebraska.
In 2001, the editorial board at The Modern Library named her novel, Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927), one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
It's the birthday of journalist and correspondent Heywood Campbell Broun, born in Brooklyn, New York (1888). Broun grew up the privileged son of a large printing plant owner, Heywood Cox Broun, a Scottish emigrant. Heywood Jr. spent most of his life and career as a journalist and political activist fighting for the underdog.
Broun attended exclusive private schools before going off to Harvard University, yet he never finished his degree, instead he left Harvard a few credits short of graduation in 1910.
In the 1920's, Broun wrote a column called "It Seems to Me" for The New York World. Broun's column pioneered the Op-Ed format of journalism, featuring personal views independent of the paper's editorial stance. His personal commentary was sometimes amusing and often highly critical, usually speaking for the underprivileged. This column made him one of the most loved figures in journalism.
In his lifetime Broun was a prolific writer, who could reportedly turn out a column in 30 minutes, and was responsible for some 21,000,000 words. He said, "For the truth there is no deadline." His career spanned many talents, including sports writing, drama criticism, war correspondent and syndicated columnist. He wrote for numerous journals and newspapers including: the Nation, the New Republican, the New York Times, the New Yorker and the New York Post.
In 1933 Heywood founded The Newspaper Guild. Although he had always led a comfortable life and was paid well for his work, he wanted to found a union that would protect the rights of reporters and newspaper employees. His contemporaries called him "The Presiding Saint" of the Newspaper Guild and he was reelected president every year until his death from pneumonia in 1939. Upon his death, president Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "He was a hard fighter, but always a fair adversary, and no matter for whom he worked he wore no man's collar."
Broun said, "I doubt whether the world holds for anyone a more soul-stirring surprise than the first adventure with ice-cream."
It's the birthday of Susan Minot, born in Boston, Massachusetts, (1956). Minot grew up in a family of seven, in Manchester in a white clapboard mansion overlooking the ocean.
Several other Minot children also became writers, and wrote stories based on their family which included an alcoholic father and a mother who was killed in an accident. Members of the Minot family say they got their love for telling stories from family dinners. Her brother George said of the family, "If you can tell a story, then you get a moment of glory, you get love."
Susan Minot was first discovered by an editor at E. P. Dutton after she published a story in Ben Sonnenberg's Grand Street and then a second story in The New Yorker. Her first book, Monkeys (1986), is a semi-autobiographical novel based on a large upper class family of seven living in New England. Monkeys was reprinted in several languages and received the prestigious Prix Femina Etranger award in France.
After the success of Monkeys, Minot went to Tuscany to write Lust and Other Stories (1989), a book of short stories about the trials of single life in New York City, and she worked on the script for Bernard Bertolucci's film Stealing Beauty (1996). She also taught for the graduate writing program at Columbia University. Her next novel, Evening (1998), is about a middle-aged woman reflecting back on her life as she dies of cancer.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

"Except in Western Australia, there is no assistance to social housing tenants with good tenancy records and stable incomes to make the transition to the private rental market and whilst the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) utilises private sector funding, by its nature it excludes small scale investors," says REIA president, Peter Bushby.
He says that, as part of REIA's election policies 2013, the organisation has proposed that investors could buy a new or existing property for rental purposes, which would be subject to broad guidelines provided by the appropriate state government agency/department regarding location, size, number of bedrooms and value.
"The owner would go to the agency with details of the property and a rental market valuation for endorsement for transitional housing. A tenant would be selected from the department's list of eligible clients and a real estate agent would manage the property."
Bushby says that, under the proposed legislation, governments would need to guarantee the rental payment for the term of the arrangement and depending on the extent of the rental subsidy, may need to consider other assistance to the owner to achieve the equivalent net yield if the property was rented in the private market.
"The managing agent and owner would attend to routine maintenance matters as occurs in the private rental market alleviating the need for government involvement. Social housing tenants, just like private housing tenants, would be required to meet responsibilities of caring for the property and leaving it in good condition at the end of a tenancy," he says.
"Social housing is provided by governments to low income households and those people who are unable to find appropriate accommodation in the private rental market. Governments can't keep up with demand, so surely this is a win-win concept."

Military historian to give presentation on weaponry

Syrian exodus raises concern for refugees
In the largest exodus of refugees for months, 11,000 Syrians fled their war-torn country in just 24 hours, as the humanitarian crisis caused by the 20-month long conflict worsened, the United Nations refugee agency reported.
There are now more than 408,000 Syrian refugees living in neighbouring countries, with at least 9000 crossing into Turkey and 1000 each into Lebanon and Jordan on Friday, the UN said.
With the bitterly cold winter months approaching, concern is mounting for the health and safety of the increasing number of refugees fleeing Syria, with many surviving in abandoned schools, shopfronts, crowded into private homes or in burgeoning UN-run camps.
Parents were already struggling to provide for their children and expressed real fears about how they would survive the winter, said Save the Children's Annie Bodmer-Roy, who has been working with refugee families in Lebanon.
Along with the need for safe housing, health care and food, education remained one of the most pressing issues - many children have already missed up to 18 months of school, Ms Bodmer-Roy said.
There are tens of thousands of Syrian children missing out on education in Lebanon alone, and the numbers are only going to grow as the situation inside Syria worsens, she said.
''Children's lives have been turned upside down … and education is really important to give them a sense of normalcy and something to look forward to, rather than staying in an unstable environment where they do not know what is going to happen from one day to the next.'' Meanwhile, the fractured Syrian opposition groups pressed ahead with their attempts to form a new coalition that would serve as an interim government when the regime of the President, Bashar al-Assad, eventually falls.
They are meeting in the Qatari capital Doha but after a week of talks they had yet to reach a resolution, sources at the meeting report.
It is hoped that the new coalition would mirror Libya's Transitional National Council - the group that united Libya's opposition against Muammar Gaddafi. It may also - many observers hope - help to quell the growing influence of Islamic militants in parts of the Free Syrian Army and provided a stable coalition for Western powers to support.
And while the US continued to both press the opposition to unite and reject calls for Western military intervention, it announced it would provide an extra $US34 million ($32.7 million) in humanitarian assistance to help those affected by the conflict in Syria. Its contribution to the Syrian crisis sits at more than $US165 million.
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees and its partner organisations are appealing for $US487 million in aid, warning the number of refugees fleeing Syria could surpass 700,000 by the end of the year.
Local activists say the conflict has claimed more than 30,000 lives, and the UN says 1.2 million people have been displaced from their homes.

I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old. My dad had a Sears Silvertone and I learned to play American folk songs out of a book. Then, I progressed, as a teenager, to garage bands. In ninth grade, I belonged to a band called the Blue Shadows. We played at one of our school dances and everyone loved us. We also did a gig one time at Mercury Roller Rink in Norfolk, VA. Those were great times. A lot has changed since then, but my love of music and my love of playing has only increased. One of those changes occurred when I was 23 years old- I met Jesus. From that point on, as I got more involved in church and things of the Lord, I, naturally, progressed into worship music and became a worship leader for several churches. That area of my music has continued to grow. I have retained my own style of music and have transferred that gift and style into my worship of the Lord. I hope you enjoy my songs as much as I enjoy playing them.

Shank 2 Review
Graphics - 9
Gameplay - 10
Value - 9
Story - 9
Sound - 9
While Shank 2 doesn't do much more than the original did, it's still a fantastic title with some of the best gameplay around
Back in 2010, Klei software released a 2D hack and slash adventure game known as Shank. Despite having a few issues, Shank proved to be one of the best downloadable titles of that year. Now Klei is back with the awaited sequel, Shank 2. Does Shank 2 improve where Shank one needed?
As a child I had fond memories of titles like Super Mario. These games never had any real story to them other then find and rescue the princess from the evil doer. Though one thing about those games is that they always had me coming back. No matter how simple the stories were, the gameplay always felt addicting and fun. That's exactly where Shank 2 stands.
The story starts with Shank returning to his village when he is suddenly attacked by a group of militia who are being commanded by a man named Magnus. Magnus wants to capture one of Shank's loved ones, because she just happens to be the perfect donor for his heart transplant. There's not much of a story here and it follows the classic and somewhat generic and cliche "save the princess" model that gamers have become so accustomed to; however Shank 2 is not about providing a compelling story, but rather fun and intuitive gameplay.
Shank 2 mimics its predecessor almost entirely from a gameplay standpoint. The biggest notable change is how much more fluid the movements and combat feels in general. It's apparent that Klei wanted to make slight adjustments to make Shank 2 what it could have been originally. Virtually everything is just so much more fluid then it previously was and Klei this time around has created what could most accurately be described as a rhythm to the combat system.
Each character has their own unique weapon sets that can be customized to fit your needs. Where one character uses the Shank another may be using the Scythe. All these weapons are unlocked as you progress and enemies will also constantly drop them for you to use. Although a Baseball bat and a Tire Iron may seem like they would do the same thing, Shank 2 gives each weapon its own unique animation and set of attacks. So with a Baseball bat you'll be able to charge up an attack, where as with the Tire Iron you'll be able to deal massive damage with strong strikes. One of the biggest features that I liked about the gameplay is the counter system. It's absolutely gruesome with the amount of things that can be done. Right before an enemy can attack you, they'll display a explanation mark over their head. This indicates that a counter attack may be done. Counter attacks vary depending on the enemy, but always end in some sort of painful and bloody death. I found myself using counters a lot just to see these gruesome deaths.
The gameplay is truly the strongest point of Shank 2, and although it has its issues when there are swarms of enemies on the screen, Shank 2 does an excellent job when it comes to keeping players engaged and entertained. If there was a game out there that could prove that story isn't everything, then Shank 2 is your game.
The art direction is just as interesting as the gameplay. It closely resembles a cartoon, but has the violence of an R rated movie. The animations all move fluidly and quickly without any delays. As for the environment the game will take you through various locations showing it's gritty look, yet still manage to have enough color in the game. It's the perfect balance between light and dark.
As for replay value, the game comes packed with lots of unlocks, such as character skins, loads of in-game collectibles , and a Survival Mode. In Survival Mode you'll be able to team up with another player (or play alone) and take on hordes of enemies, while defending the teams supply crates. As you progress you are rewarded with currency that can be used to buy new weapons and set up new traps. It's a great mode if your playing co-op with friends, but the fun only lasts for a bit.
With its over the top violence and satisfying gameplay, Shank 2 is definitely a title worth checking out even if it does so little new over the original title. Just the gameplay alone should keep you wanting more.

The psychology of why I have mostly avoided baking bread from scratch for a good portion of my career is probably better left for my therapist. But the bottom line is that after more than 20 years, I'm beginning to have fun with yeast. Today I bring you my Easy Pizza Dough.
This recipe has plenty of variations, but this simple, straightforward version works best for me. It uses all-purpose flour and produces a chewy pizza crust with a nice salty punch.
The secret to making the dough is to remain flexible each time you make it. With dough, it's all about what it looks and feels like — not a list of exact amounts. Sometimes it takes 4 cups of flour; sometimes only 3 1/2. The amount of water is also adjustable. But I have written this recipe to begin with the minimum ingredients and then to add what is necessary. (You can see step-by-step pictures on kitchenscoop.com.)
Finish your pizza any way you desire. If you missed last week's recipe for Baked Tomato Sauce, check it out on the website because it makes a wonderful pizza sauce as well as a pasta sauce. Bake your pizzas with your favorite toppings at 450 F for 12 to 15 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.
3 1/2 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (divided use)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope (0.25 ounces) fast-rise yeast (see Notes)
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 1/2 cups water at 110 F (see Notes)
2 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided use)
In the large bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine 3 1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Mix with a dough hook attachment (see Notes). Add water and 2 tablespoons oil; mix on medium-high to high dough speed (if your mixer has it) until dough forms a solid ball.
If dough is sticky, slowly add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. If dough is dry, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time. When the right amounts of flour and water are added, dough will actually pull away from the sides of the bowl to form a ball. When dough hook is raised, dough will pull away from the hook as well.
Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
Grease a large bowl with the remaining oil. Place the dough in the middle of the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set it in a warm place (about 85 F) for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Cover with a clean cotton towel or plastic wrap and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Dough is now ready to be used in recipes.
Makes enough dough for 2 (14-inch) pizzas.
Notes: Fast-rise yeast is different from active dry yeast, instant dry yeast and bread machine yeast. Be sure to purchase fast-rise yeast that is marked highly active. One brand is called RapidRise.
The easiest way to measure the temperature of the water is with an instant-read thermometer, which can be found at kitchen stores usually for less than $5. Be sure to not use water that is too hot; it will kill the yeast.
You must use a dough hook attachment for this dough to mix easily and successfully. Of course, it is possible to mix by hand; dough has been made by hand for centuries. This recipe, however, works best with a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.

Hi , I would like to do some experiments with some software.
Can anyone provide a female voice saying ' ahh ' like when the doctor puts that stick on your tongue AND " A ' the long 'A ' for at least 10 sec.
Plus at least 15 seconds of either speech or acapella.
Also where can I find phonemes preferably from a real human especially a female .
In case anyone does not know A phoneme is the smallest contrastive unit in the sound system of a language. pretty much any language has these in common , any human that is.
Thank you .
This post woul dbe better placed in the "samples requests" forum.
May I also suggest that you can take existing samples of female voices and cut up the phonemes.
Some people have uploaded considerable numbers of words and sentences with the same voice, so you may be able to construct a full set of phonemes for english language.
Now that is what I call clear thinking AlienXXX , you are right I could do that but of course I thought maybe someone already had and maybe was willing to share them .
You are also right about this would be better in the samples requests forum .

ITB-Berlin kicks off
- Published by Ozgur Tore
The world´s leading travel show kicks off in Berlin with its 10,147 exhibitors from 189 countries.
The number of international exhibitors at this year's ITB Berlin will be higher than ever before. More than two-thirds of the exhibitors showcasing their products and services in the 26 halls on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, which are now fully booked up, are from abroad.
From 5 to 9 March 2014 ITB Berlin will be offering visitors a representative overview of travel products and services from around the world and of growth-intensive niche markets; the exhibition is expected to welcome about 110,000 trade visitors.
This year, on the weekend of the show, members of the public will again have an opportunity to purchase travel products directly from exhibitors. The focus will be on Mexico, this year's partner country, which will have information on its wide range of products and services in Hall 1.1.
Around 700 hand-picked senior buyers from the international tourism industry from Europe, Canada, the USA, South America, Australia, Asia and Africa will be joining the exclusive Buyers Circle at ITB Berlin 2014.
At 74.6 per cent, two-thirds of the Buyers Circle's members are from Europe and Russia. Over 13 per cent are from Asia, Australia and Oceania. Around 4 per cent each are from North America and the Middle East, as well as 1.4 per cent from South America. 80 per cent will be at the show in a decision-making capacity. The overall purchasing power of the Buyers Circle is equivalent to 1.8 billion euros.
With its Travel Technology segment ITB Berlin has taken on a pioneering role. Around 170 exhibitors will be showcasing the world's widest range of travel technology products. 30 companies will be making their first appearance at the world's leading travel trade show. They include IATI, Nor1 Inc, Accelya, Gate7 Reservation Systems, Abreu Online, Roomize and Vioma. Most of the companies exhibiting 'traditional' travel technology products, who for more than ten years occupied Hall 6.1, have now moved to Hall 5.1. The eTravel World, which has now moved to Hall 6.1, will feature seminars and workshops on big data, social media and mobile communication trends. For the first time at the show, ITB Berlin and the consultancy Tourismuszukunft will be co-organising tours to guide visitors around Travel Technology. The tours will focus on software for the hotel industry, travel agencies, destinations and tour operators. A Mobile Technology tour will also be on offer.
Besides Travel Technology, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Travel (LGBT) segment also has enormous growth potential. For many years ITB Berlin has been helping to develop this booming area of the market. Besides numerous LGBT-themed events there will be a Networking Brunch for journalists, a seminar on 'Gay Pride Events", numerous receptions and the popular TomOnTour Party.
In 2014 the main attraction will once again be the Gay & Lesbian Travel Pavilion.

Sightseeing in Madrid Post-World Youth Day
Our Register staffer is taking in the beauty and excitement of WYD's host city: a soccer game and a meal at the world's oldest restaurant.
| Posted 8/22/11 at 9:16 PM
World Youth Day 2011 came to a close yesterday, Aug. 21, to the sorrow of all of us here in this beautiful city.
We have experienced so much, made so many new friends, and been introduced to our faith in a totally new light. Despite the hardships of WYD, and the difficulties any city has in hosting such a gigantic event, it remains an amazing testament of faith to the whole world.
The Holy Father's words to the English-speaking world yesterday especially touched my group of pilgrims from the United States. Maybe it was the days of trying to understand and wishing we spoke Spanish that made it especially awesome to hear the greeting in our own language: "I greet all the English-speaking young people present here today! As you return home, take back with you the good news of Christ's love which we have experienced in these unforgettable days. Fix your eyes upon him, deepen your knowledge of the Gospel, and bring forth abundant fruit! God bless all of you until we meet again!"
An unforgettable moment of encouragement for an unforgettable experience!
I am one of those fortunate pilgrims who have a few extra days in Madrid before I head home.
First, it was back to Madrid — in time to head over to Vicente Calderon Stadium for a special soccer game held just for WYD. What fun! After such a grueling 24 hours, it was amazing to see all the young people still screaming and jumping around. They were chanting "Benedicto" as if their very life depended on it.
The love for our Holy Father that you encounter in every one of the pilgrims is truly remarkable.
Today, our little group got to experience Madrid: all the flavor and color that our host city provides. All the historic places are still packed with WYD pilgrims. Fans, Spanish lace and delicious food were all part of the experience.
We treated ourselves to the world's oldest restaurant — Restaurante Botin — just off Plaza de Mayor in the center of Madrid. It opened in 1725 and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest restaurant on the planet! It is still there for a reason: The food was incredibly delicious. (Lucky for us Alabamians, who value food so highly!)
It was a lovely little ending to an incredible trip. Tomorrow we are off to Avila before heading back to the States.
We are tired but full of joy on this lovely feast of the Queenship of Mary!
As we wrap up our WYD pilgrimage and soon will depart from this beautiful place, we will echo the words said by our Holy Father yesterday: "Thank you Spain, for the legacy that mankind has received from a nation with deep Christian roots and a future of contagious hope."
Adios from Madrid!

SOQUEL, Calif., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The owners of a California medical marijuana dispensary said they collected 11,000 pounds of food for charity by giving out free marijuana cigarettes.
Nancy Black and Phil Hicks, owners of the Granny Purps dispensary in Soquel, said they offered the complimentary joints, with a maximum four per day, to patients who brought four or more cans in to be donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank holiday food drive, the Santa Cruz (Calif.) Sentinel reported Wednesday.
"We had experience with Second Harvest because my husband is a retired chiropractor, and we used to collect donations from his patients at his office," Black said. "We used to do some sort of incentive to encourage people to donate, and so we decided to do the same thing here to get momentum."
Black said the dispensary handed out 2,000 of the complimentary joints and collected 11,000 pounds of food for the drive.

Saturday 24th March 5-6pm
Come and get your hands dirty with our wonderful Kokedama making workshop at Form Lifestyle Store 6 Bradley Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester M1 1EH
Come along to create a 'Kokedama' which is a Japanese variant of bonsai, which has become an instagram craze, with creative gardeneres transforming houseplants into dangling sculptural objects.
But you may ask, what is Kokedama?
Basically, Kokedama(translation "moss ball") is the practice of removing a root system from its container, surrounding it in a mud cake, then wrapping the whole mess in moss before winding it in string. The original Japanese form of kokedama was then displayed on an altar-like platform.
What's included in my ticket?
All the materials will be provided by geo-fleur to make your very own Kokedama, with a variety of ferns.
Please note: Workshop tickets are nonrefundable and nonexchangeable. In the rare event of staff illness or undersubscribed workshops, geo-fleur reserve the right to cancel workshops at any time. If rescheduling is not possible the workshop ticket price will be refunded. We are not in a position to offer participants compensation for travel and accommodation.


text: I need to make bias strips that are 1/8" which leaves me with using a bias bar or buying the simplicity bias maker machine and the 1/8" tip that can attach to it. I already have a lot of bias makers from clover that you use with an iron so I'm not as interested in buying the machine. However, I still want to make the nicest 1/8" bias strips I can. Which would be better? Thanks, Yael

Child-friendly centre provides relief to typhoon-affected children in Tacloban City
By Kate Donovan
TACLOBAN, Philippines, 6 December 2013 – Frances Ramandiman, 10, claimed the little guitar from the UNICEF box for a few minutes, enough time to pick out a few chords and practice strumming. He is a beginner in so many things, yet Frances is a veteran and a survivor of one of the worst storms the world has ever seen.
And the guitar is his just for a moment before another child takes a turn.
There is also a drum in the box, played with great gusto in a place where children rarely play outdoors
Frances, 10, is a shy boy, or maybe he was made shy by Typhoon Haiyan's fierceness. His family fled their home in Barangay 88, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the city, just before the wind began. As he and his father, mother and four siblings waited out the huge waves of three storm surges in a sports stadium called the Astrodome, the typhoon battered their home, his father's livelihood and all of their belongings – including birth certificates, property deeds and family memorabilia – into a pulp.
UNICEF set up a tent for use as a child-friendly space on the grounds of the Astrodome, a place where they can play, learn and relax in an area reserved exclusively for them. Frances was one of nearly 100 children inside the tent, swarming with energy.
According to the latest figures, more than 4 million people have been displaced from their homes by the tyhoon's destruction. Converted to an evacuation centre, there are 1,661 people crammed together in the Astrodome, and that means raw day-to-day living. Most sleep under tarps held up by flimsy structures. Unrelated adults and children are sleeping head to toe, some of them friends from the old neighbourhood, some of them friends of friends, and some of them strangers. Children living in these kinds of conditions are exceptionally vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
Frances' and his family are lucky that they have managed to occupy a concrete corner, about 10 feet by 10 feet, under the eaves of the stadium.
With all their legal documents destroyed or disappeared, with the city's computers washed away and the City Hall washed out, Frances and millions of other children have effectively lost their legal identities. Birth certificates anchor children to their nation – without a birth certificate, a child is more easily exploited, more easily trafficked; he or she can be denied an education, a diploma, and eventually the right to vote, to wed or hold a job.
In all the struggles Frances faces every day, all the risks – visible and invisible – that he is forced to confront, this is one more thing the little boy will have to pick his way through.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — David Kravish says it's simply a matter of persistence when it comes to explaining California's unbeaten start in the Pac-12 this season.
That might be simplifying things a little but it was certainly the case against Washington. The Golden Bears got off to a sluggish start but stuck to their plan and eventually overwhelmed the smaller, slower Huskies 82-56 on Wednesday night.
"We just came with the mentality that no matter what happened we were just going to keep doing our thing, we were just going to keep pushing at them," said Kravish, who had 11 points and 11 rebounds to help Cal match its best start in conference since 2009. "It's hard for other teams to deal with when no matter what they do, good or bad, we just keep coming at them. That's what we did the whole game."
It was a big night all around for Kravish. The junior had his fourth double-double of the season and added four blocked shots to move into second place on Cal's career list.
He wasn't the only Bear reaching a milestone.
Coach Mike Montgomery tied former Oregon State coach Slats Gill for the third-most wins in conference history following the Bears' fifth straight win.
"Defensively we were very good," Montgomery said. "Our big guys are causing some problems for people inside. We started out a little nervous ... once we got it rolling, it was tough for Washington."
Tyrone Wallace scored 14 points with eight rebounds to pace five California players in double figures. Justin Cobbs added 11 points and six assists.
The Bears (13-4, 4-0 Pac-12) trailed 8-2 early and had problems settling in against Washington's packed-in zone defense before going on a 20-3 run to move in front for good.
Wallace sparked the run with a pair of long jumpers and a driving layup. Richard Solomon later dunked to make it 28-14 after the ball initially bounced off the back of teammate Christian Behrens.
It was that type of night for the Bears.
Cal led by 13 at halftime and pushed it to 47-26 following a four-point play by Jeff Powers, who was fouled after banking in a 3-pointer.
Powers and Wallace later added back-to-back 3s to help the Bears pull away.
"That was a great play by Jeff," Solomon said. "I called bank for him if he didn't call it."
C.J. Wilcox scored 18 points for Washington (11-7, 3-2). The Huskies were coming off an emotional win over No. 21 Colorado on Sunday but struggled on both ends of the court and suffered their most lopsided loss of the season.
"We couldn't really do anything right," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. "We didn't rebound, we didn't shoot the ball well, we didn't finish through. They chewed us up when we had the basketball."
It didn't start out that way.
Washington got off to a quick start behind a pair of quick buckets by Wilcox and led 8-2 with 15 minutes left in the first half before Cal's big run.
The Huskies problems extended to both ends of the court. They went through a pair of long scoring droughts that lasted more than four minutes each and shot only 24.1 percent in the first half.
"Their size bothered us as much as anyone we have played in a long time," Romar said. "These guys were on the offensive glass, they blocked shots (and) they really made it tough for us to score."
Washington, which had allowed only six 3s in its first four conference games, allowed seven against Cal. Powers had three, Wallace added a pair and Jordan Mathews had one.
The game got chippy at the end when Cal reserve Sam Singer gave a hard foul on Washington's Darin Johnson to stop a fast break. Johnson had to be restrained by teammates as Singer waved to the crowd while walking toward midcourt.
Solomon finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds while Power scored 12 for Cal.

Splurge, Save or Steal:
Chinoiserie Dragon Fabric
Schumacher's Chiang Mai fabric is a classic, and Chinoiserie lovers no doubt know it well. At $224 a yard, it's a spend-y choice, but also packs a punch in the form of a small pillow. If you still can't bring yourself to splurge, take a look at these two other options...
Dwell Studio worked with Robert Allen to create this vibrant version, called Ming Dragon, at a decidedly more do-able price. It's available for $58 a yard.
Last up is Loom Decor's budget option at $24 a yard. Their red Chinoiserie Dragon print is the spitting image of Dwell's, albeit in a slightly muted shade.
If you're in the market for some red dragon fabric, which would you choose?

New Delhi, March 9 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said coordination between both houses of parliament was a must since many pending bills needed to be passed.
"The nation is waiting for us to pass many bills," Modi said in the Rajya Sabha while replying to the debate on the motion of thanks on the President's Address to parliament.
"This is a chamber of ideas. It must guide the nation. Coordination between both houses is essential."
"Let us pass bills earlier passed in the Lok Sabha as soon as possible and give an impetus to India's progress," he added.
