Time Out mag interviews Posdnuos on the 20th Anniversary of 3 Feet High and Rising's release
Good stuff except how the interviewer mistakes Kool G Rap for Kulji rap. *smh*.... Click here for the goods. BTW: above is the original EPK for the Three Feet High album.
"3 Feet High and Rising": De La Soul's Track by Track Guide to Groundbreaking 1989 LP. [Rolling Stone]
De La Soul - Making of 3 Feet High: Part 1 | Part 2 [HipHop.com]
If you don't own or haven't even heard the 3 Feet High and Rising album, go BUY it immediately or go kill yourself - seriously! Dilla, Common, Outkast, The Roots, Kweli, Mos Def, Kanye and just about any other progressive group or MC you f-ck with nowadays has been influenced by this iconic group and legendary album in some way.
Labels: De La Soul, Posdnuos

Finding living family
Can anyone recommend a reputable/good business for finding living relatives in Italy? I have started/stopped with 2 I found, and it seems just when you think you are getting somewhere, it is like you are bothering them to get work done. I was hoping someone used one they can refer me to in the hopes of not starting from square one again and get to a point where I hit the brick wall again. I have a lot of research done already and even some old letters with addresses so it really would be someone going onsite to the village and doing some research in the commune and simply determining if family is still there.

For decades the glorious sounds of sacred steel music were confined within the walls of Church of God parishes throughout Florida and the East Coast. The music, a mixture of gospel and blues that centers on the pedal steel guitar, was never intentionally restricted, but the musicians never bothered taking it to the outside world. That changed in the mid-Nineties, after a folklorist discovered sacred steel musicians jamming in a South Florida guitar shop. Soon groups like Robert Randolph and the Family Band burst onto the national music scene.
One of South Florida's foremost contributors to the genre is the six-member group the Lee Boys, made up of three Lee brothers and their nephews, who cut their chops in the House of God Church of Perrine in South Miami-Dade. After recently signing with Arhoolie -- the label of choice for many sacred steel artists -- the Lee Boys have released their debut album, Say Yes!, a joyous romp of black gospel blues. And like all sacred steel music, the songs here center on the pedal steel guitar. For the Lee Boys, that means the lightning-fast hands of Roosevelt Collier, who jumps right into the fire with the adrenaline rush of "Say Yes!" in a celebration of blistering pedal steel solos and James Brown-like whoops and hollas from singer Keith Lee.

The album's tracks alternate from scorchers like "Tribute to Calvin Cooke" to slow burners such as "Call Him by His Name." It's stirring and powerful stuff, the kind of music that gives you goose bumps as it beckons you to get off your butt and dance. Virtuosic musicianship is evident on this disc, and this band is one of the tightest in the genre. A gospel-inspired effort (with few direct references to it), Say Yes! is a heavenly slice of infectious sacred steel music.

Book Review - SINS OF THE MOTHERS by Caryl McAdoo
I tell you what, folks, this girl can write! I do love this series, and maybe most especially this book.
Mary Rachel Buckmeyer is smart as a whip. She can out-negotiate the experts, out-guess marketing trends, and out-stubborn a mule. Trouble is, she tends to follow her heart into disaster. She falls in love with Caleb Wheeler, a man her father says is a boy. As she finds out, he's not only irresponsible, he has a meandering eye, lies like a braided rug, and has all the loyalty of a new-born pup.
Mary hops from one frying pan to another until one man shows up who could steady her and get her out of the fixes she gets herself into. But again, trouble is she might throw him away. When will this girl ever learn?
Such a great story! I know you'll love it. Available at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Hyde 8 Piece Bed In a Bag
I was thrilled with the comforter set. The sheets are soft, the comforter was well made, thick and substantial. I can't believe I got this good of a quality product for the price. There's also alot of trims on the bedding that you don't see in the photo. It's really nice, and I think you won't be dissapointed either.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color matched great.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. I was very impressed with the quality. It's made well, the fabric is good and substantial, and it was sewn together very nicely.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate

Anders Behring Breivik, the mass murderer responsible for the 77 deaths at Oslo, threatened to go on a hunger strike unless he receives better video games. He claims to be in a horrible situation that's virtually torture. He's serving a 21 year sentence, the longest possible in Norway. Here's a list of some of his demands.
- He wants his outdated PlayStation 2 to be replaced with a PlayStation 3
- He wants adult games that he can pick for himself rather than the childish games his fellow inmates want
- He wants his typewriter to be replaced with a PC
- He wants his weekly allowance, roughly $46, to be doubled so he could send more letters out
- He wants a sofa or armchair rather than the uncomfortable seat he has.
Wow. You'd think he was in prison with such harsh conditions he's suffering.
He continues on with the following:
You've put me in hell … and I won't manage to survive that long. You are killing me. If I die, all of Europe's right-wing extremists will know exactly who it was that tortured me to death … That could have consequences for certain individuals in the short term but also when Norway is once again ruled by a fascist regime in 13 to 40 years from now… You seem to think that we — all human rights activists who fight for one fundamental human right (cultural self-determination) — … are Nazi monsters who should be pushed into suicide.
So, let me get this straight. You think your chair is uncomfortable. The video games you have the liberty to play are a few years outdated. You have a typewriter rather than a PC with all those neat programs you're used to having. You want to have similar freedoms that you had when you were not imprisoned.
What kind of pampered douchebag is this guy? The Norwegian police haven't responded to his threat yet, but I'm hoping they tell him the following: Well maybe you shouldn't have killed those people, asshole.
Just saying.

Hi, we're planning to host multible events 3 weeks long in Berlin and around which is focused on grassroots and commons. But not just as a event, more like an event to amplyfier upcomming actions. We're strongly interested in connecting the different parts of grassroots with the hope of building based on them a functioning society. There are more then enough people to be able to change the way society is funtion. But as most of us are "chained" in "personal" projects we loose a lot of our potential....through this we're easily forced to act within the logic of the system again. Let's bring back all function for a well functioning society as commons. ...this is the very beginning. Our first gathering to plan all the comming steps will happen in the comming weeks. You could help us a lot through spreading the message (but DON't use fb), and by pointing us out initatives we should get in conntact.
Beside that I hope you might be interested by yourself joining us! Please give me some feedback. :-) (answer to this this mail: email@example.com (http://firstname.lastname@example.com)(it will be pushed into our forum)
This is the first invitation mail I'll sended into my network:
Reading the following you will then also know how to stay in contact with us. Hello,
great we could reach you! Here are Paul Free and butze from yunity. We have some ambiguous plans within the upcoming month and would be highly interested in your feedback! It's essentially about taking the grassroots sharing movement to its next stage.You might be interested in joining the upcoming actions and with just a couple of minutes reading you're already part of the first action. This is a glocall! A call for global responsibility within local environments. A continuous commitment for local and global change. Why? We envision a society based on collaboration, self-determination, trust and the freedom to be active. We see sharing as a way coming closer to a world we're dreaming of. And we see sharing building bridges into this world, whenever we open our eyes for deeper human relationships. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd8R0pYib9s) (normally you should see a video here. Otherwise just click on the link and come after back to the mail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd8R0pYib9s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd8R0pYib9s)) How? Our interest is to create a network of collaboration to break all the constraints that economy and society is creating. Through sharing we want to seed communities, open access, prevent waste, minimalize having & maximize being and let joy and happiness emerge.Through sharing we are bringing self-organization into concrete implementation.Imagine the branches the tree of society would need to stand solid, grow dynamically and flourish in colorful blossoms. And then imagine people coming together with the will to organize within the art and logic of sharing. What? We want to raise the question, what does a society need to function well and how can we get there. Of course we are not the first ones asking this questions, and many people all over the world are working on solutions. But so far most endeavors are separated within social bubbles, free collaboration is retained by the constraints of exchange and the patterns of competition are still very much present, especially the grassroots sharing movement is fragmented into hippies, radical anarchists, ecologists, academics, etc.. So we are creating spaces for them to meet so that collaboration in-between multiple similar projects can happen on a bigger scale.How are we going to get together? Well, a lot of gatherings are happening all over the world. Most of the time events are about the event itself, afterwords there are no further pursued activities and the momentum falls again apart.But to create a cohesive grassroots movement of sharing, we need to come together. We are starting with a 5 days (21-25 June) gathering close to Berlin on the fusion festival ground. After that we move into Berlin, where there is a big seminar house inviting us for 3 weeks, and there are more big houses opening their rooms (so far 3x 150m²) for activist who want to learn from each other, to organize and to share the creative process of developing systems that encourage change.After the event in Berlin there are a lot of free-rooms waiting to be filled the life of a social experiment that is moving towards a world of sharing, art and expansion of freedom instead of concurrence an limitation. And now it is up to you Now we're calling you! To the very first meeting to kickstart the glocall. You are warmly invited to take part in getting into a deeper dialog about the outlined idea. Nothing is written in stone, nothing is perfect, everything is in process, everything is permanent beta, and we are waiting for your input! Because we can only create a future that is meaningful to all of us, if we create it together. Let's meet up and start with why, which is the very glue to foster human relationships. We can only find trust to each other and collaborate if we can understand and feel good if we answer the question: why are we doing, what we want to do!If anything sounds of interest to you, please engage with us here: To change anything start somewhere, to change everthing start anywhere. The revolt starts within you, Paul Free & butze Join us!You're maybe interested in joining us? In the comming weeks we will organize the first gathering. To stay in tune, just click on "Yes, I'm in". Yes, I'm in! (https://yunity.mautic.net/glocall-page-signup) PS: We would like to ask you to NOT share this message via facebook.

Zur gleichen Zeit starten Paul Free und ich den glocall: Eine Reihe von Events, welche die grassroots-sharing Bewegung vernetzt und lokale Hingabe für globale Verantwortung fördert.Das könnte euch also interessieren, deshalb leite ich euch die erste eMail, die wir an Aktivisten aus der ganzen Welt gesendet haben, weiter (gerne könnt ihr die Information weiter streuen).
Wenn ihr euch beteiligen möchtet, dann antwortet bitte auf email@example.comemail@example.com
Alles Liebe und gutes Gelingen

Yet another achievement from House of Chess - producing fine
quality wooden pegged travel chess sets. These sets are quite exquisite in it's
piece detail. Like a magnetic chess set the pieces stay in place when in transit
and as a travel set is much superior to early products with ill fitting holes
and pieces that were difficult to distinguish.
Never again tip over your chess set or upset a critical position! This uniquely
designed, sturdy travel or analysis set are constructed entirely of Rosewood,
Golden Rosewood, White Maple and Boxwood, and features a soft green velvet cloth
lined box that snaps securely shut to hold your chess pieces.
The sets have elegantly designed wooden inlaid tops and boards inside the box
and peg-holes to securely hold the pieces in place. This handcrafted set is
perfect to accent your coffee table, or keep it on the nightstand for those
nocturnal inspirations! The quality craftsmanship and eye-appeal make this
pegged chess set an outstanding purchase.
This Square pegged set is the hottest selling item because of it's compactness
and light in weight, can easily be put into coat's pocket . The game can be
stopped and played at any time without disturbing the move because the pieces
stand inside the box which can be closed at any time.
Take this set with you wherever you go. The convenient pegged
styling makes this set easy to take with you everywhere. If you
are in the middle of a game and have to quit you can close the
case and your pieces will stay intact. The box opens to display
a beautifully crafted chess board and chess men. The men have
pegs on the bottom to ensure their placement when traveling on
the bumpiest roads. All the boards have solid wooden tops and
matching chessmen in same wood.
As the images show, following sets are one of the better quality travel
sets. The case is high quality and the size of the travel chess set vary
from 7" to 8". Look at the quality of the pieces and carving. The inlaid
wooden top is the best example of craftsmanship. The pieces for this set
are crafted meticulously with adherence to very high standards - an
excellent travel chess set.
Beautiful Artisan
Chess Sets
The designs you see on this site are designed by our experienced and
dedicated artisans. In many sets a single knight takes two days to
produce. These designs are painstaking and any faulty pieces are
discarded so that the quality is maintained. Many of the chess sets are
unique and made in India where there is a rich heritage of mathematics
and related cranial games like chess. Some stores have chess sets made
in China which are economical but don't have detail, quality, or the
finesse of design that good Indian chess sets have. Some of the sets
available from House of Chess are the best available throughout the
world and have such intricacy and quality in the chess set that the
playing of the game results in much pleasure through the beauty of the
pieces, quality of the artisanship and excellence of the boards.

Customer relationship management (CRM) software is growing in popularity for non-profit organizations, as the price of software and cloud deployment make it easier for both small and large non-profits to adopt CRM.
My company InfoStrat has been working with non-profits for nearly thirty years, and we have witnessed growing adoption of CRM instead of more specialized software. For most of this time, non-profits focused on software specifically built for their business requirements, such as membership management systems, fundraising systems, and event management software. These products were custom developed by small companies, and from time to time these companies would go out of business or acquire one another, creating orphan software which was no longer supported or no longer being modernized. These products were not necessarily compatible with one another, so you could end up with an annual meeting system which was a completely different technology and interface from the membership or fundraising system.
Today, non-profits are more willing to adopt more commercially widespread CRM products such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Salesforce because these products are affordable, widely supported and will receive future upgrades.
At our recent webinar "High Impact Web Presence for Lean Non-Profits," we highlighted features of CRM that can make your non-profit more productive. For instance, it is vital to maintain an authoritative contact list for members, donors, vendors, and other constituents. Most non-profits want to conduct outreach campaigns such as emails and letters -- a basic CRM function.
CRM vendors offer significant discounts to non-profits. Techsoup (http://www.techsoup.org) is a marketplace for qualified non-profits. You can search by product name to find the latest non-profit pricing. Microsoft guidelines for non-profits are here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-customer-center/non-profit-pricing.aspx
InfoStrat helps clients tailor Dynamics CRM to meet the specific needs of non-profits. For instance, we have added annual dues calculation formulas, and invoice generation reports to Dynamics CRM. We integrate CRM with member portals to allow membership signup, meeting registration, and contributions.
InfoStrat's thoughts on digital transformation, marketing automation, customer relationship management, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly CRM), government contracting, customer service and more.

J. K. Rowling's novels about Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have captured the imaginations of people everywhere. In If Harry Potter Ran General Electric, bestselling business author Tom Morris (If Aristotle Ran General Motors) uncovers the values and timeless truths that underlie Rowling's hugely popular books and illuminates the lessons they offer to all of us in our careers and daily lives.
But, you say, Harry Potter lives in a world of magic. What can we possibly learn to apply to our own careers and everyday lives? Morris shows that the most difficult problems Harry and his friends face are rarely solved by the use of magic alone. Rather, they are conquered by intelligence, reasoning, determination, creativity, friendship, and a host of other classic virtues–the very qualities, in fact, that make for success in every aspect of our lives.
Blending an array of provocative examples from the novels with thought-provoking commentary on contemporary management practices, If Harry Potter Ran General Electric offers readers a master's course on leadership and ethics, told in an engaging and insightful way.
Following his business bestseller If Aristotle Ran General Motors, former philosophy professor Morris piggybacks on the popularity of J.K. Rowling's novels, conjuring philosophical parallels between the heroics of her fictional world and success in the corporate realm. He parses her stories for what they might tell us about the importance of virtues and ethics in the business world, referring a little to Aristotle and Kierkegaard for philosophical weight, plus a dash of eloquent advice from GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt for real-life relevance. In Morris's view, Harry Potter is the embodiment of courage-"doing what's right, not what's easy"-and the author delineates five steps to this virtue (e.g., "surround yourself with support") for real-world application. A natural leader, Harry takes after Headmaster Dumbledore, an "Aristotelian figure" and "the essence of leadership," a quality Morris compares to alchemy, since good leaders "transform ordinary people into great performers." Though Morris writes with grace and imagination, this chatty meditation may feel redundant for Harry Potter fans, miss the mark with readers uninitiated to the world of the wizards and disappoint those looking for concrete discussion of real business situations.

Thank you for your interest in the 2016 Cascade 1200+!!
There are some exciting updates for 2016 including:
- An all new (and longer!) route! The final distance is expected to be close to 1285km, with an extended time limit to accommodate that distance.
- Two start options: 1) a Friday night start for "full value" riders who want the entire time limit to complete the event, or 2) a Saturday morning start most appropriate for riders who chose the 80 or 84hr starts at PBP, or who regularly finish long brevets in the top quartile. Saturday morning starters will be required to maintain a slightly higher average speed and will have a time limit approximately 6 hours shorter than the Friday night starters.
- All hotel accommodations! No overnight controls in jr. high schools, sleeping on gym floors, and showers that are warmish at best. All three overnight controls will be at motels or lodges and food will be professionally catered.
Please review the links in the menu bar above for preliminary information on the event.
The organizers are hard at work on the details and will update route and registration information as it becomes available. We appreciate your patience.
In the meantime, please bookmark this page and check back often for updates.

Will rearrange, edit and update later. Going to Police Station Section 8 Petaling Jaya to check how those who were arrested are faring.
Tonight is a night that Malaysians should not forget. It is a night when police acted brutally against peaceful Malaysians. Malaysians had gathered peacefully at Dataran Petaling Jaya (Padang Timur) but were driven to Amcorp Mall. At 9.30pm Haris Ibrahim dispersed the crowd so as not to clash with the FRU gathered there. However, a group marched separately to Civic Center (MBPJ) where they gathered to sign the National Anthem Negara Ku and to release balloons. Before they could finished, the FRU charged and dispersed the crowd. The police has no respect for our national anthem. They charged at the crowd while they were still singing Negara Ku. They arrested a number of the peaceful Malaysians gathered there. I read at Malaysiakini Tony Pua was not only arrested, he was man handled and thrown into the FRU truck.
For heaven sake, these are peaceful Malaysian gathered for a good cause. Shouldn't they be better deployed to catch Mat Rempits, robbers, rapers, swindlers?
Change will be difficult. For those who can pray, please pray for meaningful reforms for Malaysia.

Police brutality BERSIH Remembrance rally cum anti-ISA candlelight vigil
Posted by Manature at 11:29 PM
1 comment:
The CPO is a blatant liar. I was there, singing away our national anthem when the FRU police charged into the crowd. The ones that were right in the middle of the crowd got it worst as they tried to avoid the onslaught of the FRU, and in the process tripped and probably fell, making themselves easy meat for the plain-clothes officers to grab and belasah them.

Patten prepared to take pay cut to
Bulldogs fullback Luke Patten says he is prepared to take another pay cut to stay with the National Rugby League club.
The `Dogs players accepted an eight per cent reduction in pay at the end of last year following the salary cap scandal which resulted in them losing 37 competition points and being relegated to the bottom of the NRL table.
Patten says he is confident he will remain at the club and will accept a little less money in order to do so.

Perth Award Winning Bathroom Design Portfolio
Here At WA Assett The Bathroom Renovators, we are proud to announce our recent Bathroom Designs success at the 2015 HIA Laminex Australia Kitchen and Bathroom Awards. It is all thanks to our fantastic clients, amazing staff and incredible supporting companies for driving WA Assett to this award winning level of design and quality. This quality has won us many Bathroom Design awards during our 15 plus years membership with the Housing Industry Association (HIA).

2015 HIA Laminex Australia Renovated Bathroom Project, Up to $25K
Winner – Camillo
The Kennedy Residence
Introducing the monochrome colour scheme bringing light and balance. Subtle embossed charcoal feature tiles as the vanity splash back and vertical strip in the shower recess undoubtedly creates an interesting space while complementing the white gloss wall tiles. When space is at a premium the restrained two-tone palette creates visual depth while the slight texture of the large floor tiles softens the room.
Featuring a double entry open access shower recess with a custom floor to ceiling shower screen provides some privacy to the room so there is opportunity for two people to use the room at the same time. Minimalist Phoenix Rush wall mounted basin tapware embodies both style and elegance with a soft yet refined design. Wall mounted tapware is also a great space saving solution so the vanity bench top becomes clutter free.
Soft curves of the Kohler Leaf above counter basins featured on the custom made double bowl vanity provides contrast to the ultimate black surface – the Caesarstone Jet Black stone top. From our in-home consultation team, selection centre and specialised designers, to our production team, we will all work tirelessly to complete the bathroom renovations confidently, with our award-winning bathroom designs touch.
2015 HIA Laminex Australia Liveable Bathroom of the Year
Winner – Camillo
The Earley Residence
This room has been transformed from a small Bedroom into an accessible living Bathroom for a young client in a wheelchair. The delicately textured floor tiles add an interesting touch without overpowering the space
Ease of access was a prime concern and key consideration for the Bathroom; which the open access shower certainly allows the client to live self-sufficiently but still retaining a contemporary space.
The Phoenix Ivy lever action tap-ware range is a modern interpretation of the distinctive project design and adds a classic element to the room to enhance the modern interior. The open plan room along with the custom made semi-recessed wall hung vanity provides ample space for wheelchair turning which was a must

The media loves to depict the majority of Republican voters as old, white men who are "racist" against everyone not like them.
But if the votes in the Iowa caucus are any indication, this standard media line is far from true. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's a story the media are not telling now the Iowa Caucuses are over.
A look at the voting pattern of Iowa's white Republican voters shows "racism" seems to have played no part at all in their choices. After all, as Breitbart News reports, 60 percent of the white vote went for a black man, two Hispanics and a woman.
Advertisement - story continues below
As Breitbart's John Nolte notes, the D.C. media is a "powerful weapon that benefits Democrats" and the fact hundreds of thousands of white Republicans voted for such a diverse slate of candidates is simply going unremarked.
Ted Cruz's caucus win was historic, as it marks the first time in American history a Hispanic candidate has won a presidential primary contest in any state. With the identity-politics the media purveys, why isn't this being reported as a big, big deal? Why are no media outlets making banner headlines that a Hispanic just won a primary?
TRENDING: Dem Reads Trump's Tweets Out Loud During Hearing, That's When He Hears from Jeff Sessions
Of course, we know why. The media has decided Cruz isn't "Hispanic enough" to suit them so they've decided he isn't really of Cuban descent.
But Cruz wasn't alone. Marco Rubio — whose family also hailed from Cuba — came in a not-too-distant third place.
Advertisement - story continues below
This means tens of thousands of white voters in Iowa voted for two Hispanics for president.
That isn't all. African-American Dr. Ben Carson came in fourth with nine percent of the vote, while Carly Fiorina came in seventh garnering thousands of votes herself.
In the days before the caucuses, the Iowa secretary of state's office reported there are 615,066 Republican voters in the Hawkeye state. So in the end, literally hundreds of thousands of white Republican voters in Iowa voted for minorities.
Yet, the media are silent on the matter.

A heatwave has hit Johannesburg, mosquitoes emerging in hordes from their hiding places, the air too thick to breathe in with comfort and the city desperate for a deluge of rain.
The FNB Stadium was left desperate for a deluge of goals on Saturday afternoon, as Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates played out a stultifying 0-0 draw. It was another Soweto derby that failed to live up to the hype, despite the best efforts of SuperSport's multitude of camera angles, and the 80 000 or so that made the pilgrimage.
Itumeleng Khune blamed the heat for Kaizer Chiefs' off-beat performance, and he may have had a point, if it wasn't for the fact that there have been a long line of dreary derbies over the last few years, played in all kinds of temperatures.
In the last eight seasons, there have been a total of six goalless draws in the derby, five in the league, and one in last year's Telkom Knockout. This has become a fixture that defences tend to dominate. It is hard to remember either goalkeeper having to make more than one decent save on Saturday – Khune to deny Thabo Rakhale in the first half, and Brighton Mhlongo to keep out Siphiwe Tshabalala in the second.
A tactician might admire Chiefs' defensive patterns, or Pirates' capacity to counter attack at speed, but in layman's terms, this match was enough TO shut down even Donald Trump's hair.
There may even come a time when fans stop attending the derby in such large numbers, especially with the overkill provided by the pre-season Carling Black Label Cup.
It seems unfair that the KZN derby on Friday night and the Limpopo derby on Sunday, both eventful affairs, were far worse attended than this tedium. Hopefully Pirates and Chiefs will give their fans more to shout about this week, as they continue their Absa Premiership campaigns.
Pirates' game against SuperSport in Nelspruit should be a cracker, and former Matsatsantsa and current Bucs defender Edwin Gyimah shares his views on his team's travails on the opposite page. I suppose if the game is another snooze-fest in Mbombela, Gyimah and Ertugral could always start another row to liven matters up.
Elsewhere in this week's Phakaaathi, we speak to Bongolwethu Jayiya, a key player in Cape Town City's impressive start to the season. City did brilliantly to down Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday, putting an early dent in the Brazilians' title ambitions, though Pitso Mosimane's side will surely be there or thereabouts in June. As for City, a top-eight finish would be a fine achievement for Eric Tinkler and his side.
We also have our Player- of-the-Month competition on Page 8, with some fine contenders, from a brilliant young Kaizer Chiefs defender to a Polokwane City striker with a penchant for fantastic goals.
We speak to a young Baroka FC star, Siphelele Zikalala about their clash with Amakhosi this week – can the Limpopo side stun Steve Komphela's table-toppers? And we get the latest from Bidvest Wits, who will be playing their home match against Chippa United in Dobsonville.
Wits are certainly title contenders but it cannot help them to have to play away from Bidvest Stadium, after already spending the last week or so on the road, playing three straight away games.

Hegel H360 is a giant among integrated amplifiers. With 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms and a damping factor of more than 4000, it will control virtually any loudspeaker on the market.
Thanks to the patented SoundEngine technology, this beast of an amplifier combines power, dynamics, finesse and musicality like no other integrated amp on the market. The connectivity is more of a bonus... There are balanced and unbalanced analog inputs. There is a Home Theatre bypass. There are optical and coaxial digital inputs, as well as a USB input for any signal up to DSD128... And, yes - it is also a streamer. Need we say more?
The core of everything Hegel is sound quality, and the H360 is no exception. The obvious benefit of the H360 is easy to see - power. It can deliver 2 x 250 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, and is stable even in lower impedances. Furthermore, the damping factor of more than 4000 makes certain it can take control over even the most demanding loudspeakers. The H360 will always play with great authority and ease.
Rarely is such power combined with finesse. However, specially designed power supplies driving precision volume attenuators contributes to an extremely low noise floor. Hand matching near perfect transistor pairs in the input stage reduces harmonic distortion. Our patented SoundEngine technology reduces over all distortion, and especially cross-over distortion. Our designers understand how transistors work, down to the atomic level, and have used all this knowledge in designing the H360.
The H360 incorporates a high quality DAC, using Hegel's proprietary re-clocking. The benefit of this is that we can make everyday sources sound really good. Sources like a phone or a computer. This is why we have also included functionality like Apple AirPlay and DLNA streaming. There is also a reference class USB input, supporting all formats including native DSD64 and DSD128.
Power output spk: 250 w/pc into 8 Ohms, 420 w/pc into 4 Ohms
Analog inputs: 1 balanced (XLR), 1 unbalanced (RCA), 1 home theatre
Analog outputs: 1 fixed line level (RCA), 1 variable line level (RCA)
Digital inputs: 1 coaxial, 3 optical, 1 USB, 1 ethernet (RJ45)
Digital outputs: 1 coaxial (from digital inputs only)
Control input: 3,5 mm IR-Jack (rear)
Frequency response: 5Hz-180kHz

Mugshots of prisoners line the walls of the white corridor that leads to what must have been the most feared room in all of Missouri.
Inside the bright, white, airtight chamber are two steel chairs, which these 39 condemned men and women were strapped to at one time or another.
And beneath the chairs are cavities, which used to store the jars of sulfuric acid and cyanide pellets that killed each and every one of them.
This is the old gas chamber at the former Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City - a prison that was once dubbed the "bloodiest 47 acres in America" - and one of Missouri's top tourist attractions.
Each year thousands of tourists visit the former prison and sit in these chairs for obligatory holiday snaps while taking in tours of the 180-year-old cell blocks, the underground death row cells and the site of former buildings that were burned down during a deadly inmate riot at the facility in 1954.
But Missouri State Penitentiary is just one of hundreds of former prisons that have found new life as tourist attractions, museums, ghost tour sites and even hotels, giving the generally law-abiding public a taste of a brutal life behind bars.
While most of us will do what we can to avoid being sent to the slammer, but when it comes to old prison tourism, visitors with a lurid curiosity can't keep away.
"Well, it's like ... this could have happened to me," one tourist at the Missouri State Penitentiary told Reuters.
"You have a fascination with it in some way."
Prison tourism has been a growing trend since the 1990s and is as popular as ever today.
The Tower of London, where Anne Boleyn, Guy Fawkes and the Kray twins were holed up, remains one of the city's must-see attractions. Each day, thousands of tourists wait eagerly on a San Francisco pier for the ferry to Alcatraz, where criminal luminaries such as Al Capone and James "Whitey" Bulger were once dragged in chains.
Last year, California's still-operating San Quentin State Prison created international headlines when correctional officials offered a rare tour of death row, allowing hundreds of condemned men to be photographed as they sat in cells awaiting the outcome of California's debate on the future of capital punishment.
Closer to home, Melbourne's notorious Pentridge Prison - where guided tours remain popular - is about to be partially revived as a boutique hotel that will incorporate the preserved, original cells of the infamous B Division. Other local highlights for tours include Fremantle Prison and Old Melbourne Gaol, where Ned Kelly was hanged and his death mask remains on display.
Globally, there are more than 100 former prisons and jails converted to museums or open for tours, according to the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.
A new prison museum will join that list this year. Called Alcatraz East, the soon-to-open museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee will be modelled on a 19th century prison and will house impressive artefacts from America's history of crime and punishment such as the Bronco car from OJ Simpson's infamous police chase, Al Capone's rosary beads and the death mask of John Dilligner.
According to Fortune, the huge number of former prisons on display in America is largely due to the explosion in prison numbers across the country during the 1990s. Historic prisons became too small to house the growing number of inmates and they were replaced by new, bigger prisons - and state authorities looked for ways to repurpose the old ones.
"They couldn't afford to demolish [or remodel them]," Michelle Brown, associate professor of sociology at the University of Tennessee, told Fortune.
And so they became attractions for tourists fascinated by the places where convicted men and women languished, rioted, killed guards and each other, or met their maker at the hands of the executioner.
Some museums have sought to educate the public about the evolution of the penal system, but others, Ms Brown said, were just voyeuristic entertainment "based around a really uninformed sense of spectacle".
She told Fortune about a museum in West Virginia where a mannequin was dropped from a gallows, "which thrilled everyone and horrified me".
But others embrace how interested the public is in how prisons have evolved, especially as America continues to debate mass incarceration and the role of capital punishment in some states.
"I think it would be more disturbing if we had [millions of people] behind bars and nobody paid attention or wanted to know what it was like," Lauren-Brooke Eisen from New York's Brennan Center for Justice told Fortune.
Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, which opened in 1989, draws 32,000 visitors a year who check out its contraband exhibit - including a display of prisoner-made shanks - last statements gallery and, perhaps most of all, Old Sparky - the electric chair that executed 361 Texas prisoners between 1924 and 1964.
"I wasn't a part of this museum when it first opened and I wondered, 'who in the world would want to visit a prison?'" director Jim Willett told Fortune.
"It's all sorts of people. We get people from all over the world. I think people come just to try to learn something about what's on the other side of those walls and fences."
Napier Prison, Napier, New Zealand
New Zealand's oldest prison - built in 1862 and decommissioned in 1993 - Napier Prison is especially popular for its chilling hanging yard and gallows, graveyard and solitary confinement cells, which are all out on display.
It's also said to be haunted. Visitors have reported unexplained footsteps, disembodied faces and doors opening and closing on their own.
The prison's most infamous inmate, mass murder Roland Edwards, is particularly believed to haunt the prison. Paranormal activity is said to be more heightened around the anniversary of Edwards' death.
Alcatraz, California, US
This grim maximum security prison, sitting on an island in the picturesque San Francisco Bay, was a former military prison that operated as a federal prison from 1933 until 1963.
It held big shots such as mob boss Al Capone, Winter Hill Gang leader James "Whitey" Bulger and pimp and murderer Robert Stroud, who became known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz" due to his keen interest in ornithology.
Visitors can check out the prison's cells, hear about prison riots and daring escapes and learn about the island's occupation by Native American activists in 1964 to 1971.
Hostel Celica, Slovenia
This trendy youth hostel in Ljubljana, Slovenia was originally a jail built by the occupying Austro-Hungarian army in 1882.
It remained in use until Yugoslavia fell apart, and when Slovenia became independent in 1991, a group of artists and squatters stopped authorities from demolishing the building. It became Hostel Celica, which means "cell" in Slovene, in 2003.
Each of its 20 cells still have bars on doors and windows and dozens of local and international artists have transformed the rooms into unique spaces.
The basement, which used to be a solitary confinement cell, has been left as it was - cold, without windows and with original graffiti and scratches on the walls.
Robben Island, South Africa
Off the coast of Cape Town, Robben Island served as a colony for lepers and an animal quarantine station but later found infamy as the place where political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela and current president Jacob Zuma, were incarcerated during apartheid.
Mandela was famously released from the maximum security prison on February 11, 1990.
The last prisoner left Robben Island in 1996 and three years later it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guided tours from the mainland are led by former political prisoners.
Eastern State Penitentiary, Pennsylvania, US
This pioneering Philadelphia prison opened in 1829 with the radical philosophy that tough solitary confinement would set prisoners straight. It was said to have set the standard for penal reform worldwide.
Al Capone took a turn inside Eastern State Pen's Gothic castle-like walls, along with notorious bank robber Willie Sutton. The prison's facilities were advanced and it was outfitted with running water even before the White House was.
The prison closed in 1971. Today, its Terror Behind the Walls tours, which run from September to November, are a massive hit with tourists and are said to be the biggest Halloween events anywhere in Philly.
Fremantle Prison, WA
Convicts were made to build their own prison at Fremantle, and the result - the foreboding, pale limestone monolith that is Fremantle Prison - is now a World Heritage-listed building.
The prison was opened in 1855 and some 350,000 prisons were incarcerated here before it closed in 1991. It was the focus for a number of Royal Commissions and in 1988 an infamous riot occurred there, causing $1.8 million of damage.
Highlights for tourists include the Great Escapes Tour, which recounts Fremantle's famous inmates, the spooky Torchlight Tour, and an underground boat tour through the prison's convict-built subterranean tunnels.
Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin, Ireland
Kilmainham Gaol, built in 1796, held political prisoners as well as petty criminals under tough conditions. Men, women and children as young as seven years old were incarcerated here, though many adult prisoners were later sent to the penal colony in Australia.
The prison remains a significant site linked to the Irish independence movement. Most of the leaders of the Irish nationalist leaders were incarcerated at Kilmainham, and 16 executions were held as a result of the 1916 Easter Uprising.
The prison closed its doors in 1924 and now operates as a museum, offering guided tours as well as ghost tours.
Hoa Lo Prison, Hanoi, Vietnam
This prison in Hanoi, in the north of Vietnam, was originally built in 1886 during the French occupation of Indochina.
It was later used by North Vietnamese forces to hold American prisoners of war during the Vietnam War. Those POWs famously dubbed it the "Hanoi Hilton".
One of its most famous prisoners was US Republican senator John McCain, who was held there for several years after his plane was shot down during a bombing campaign.
Museum collections include an extensive array of war weapons, the original guillotine used by the French colonists and the interrogation room for American prisoners of war.
Maitland Gaol, East Maitland, NSW
This prison officially opened in 1848 and by the time it closed in 1998, it was the longest continually run jail in NSW.
It was the scene of daring escapes and violent riots by prisoners, including a particularly bloody riot in 1975.
Floggings occurred in the early days of the prison and in 1861 the public were welcomed to witness executions by hanging at the main gate. Sixteen men were hanged at the prison between 1849 and 1897, all for murder or rape.
It's now a major tourist attraction in the Hunter Valley. Visitors can opt to sleep over for a night, which includes getting "locked down" in a prison cell.
Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, Dachau, Germany
In 1933, during the Nazi rule of Germany, the prison complex at Dachau was built to accommodate the overflow from jails, and was intended to hold political prisoners.
It evolved into a slave labour camp and its entrance was emblazoned with the Nazi slogan "Arbeit mach frei", which generally translates to "Work sets you free".
Tens of thousands of prisoners died at Dachau, although it was not an extermination camp like others operated by the Nazis.
About 30,000 prisoners were at the camp when it was liberated by Allied forces in 1945.
It is now a well-visited memorial site, and visitors can explore the sprawling grounds and see the cells where prisoners were held.

David Zeiger
Displaced Films was created in 1994 by David Zeiger. A decade later, the company is still young, vibrant, and breathing heavily.
David Zeiger- Director/Writer/Producer:
David Zeiger received a 2010 Guggenheim Fellowship for his debut narrative feature, Sweet Old World, which just premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival. His second narrative feature, Otherwise Pandemonium, which is based on a short story by Nick Hornby, is in development.
His most recent film, Sir! No Sir!, premiered at the 2005 Los Angeles Film Festival where it won the Audience Award for Best Documentary. It went on to win Best Documentary at the Hamptons International Film Festival, the Seeds of War Award at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, and Best Film on War and Peace at the Vermont International Film Festival. It was nominated for Independent Spirit, International Documentary, and Gotham Awards. The film garnered rave reviews during its 80-city theatrical run, including "Two Thumbs Up" from Ebert and Roeper. Manohla Dargis called it "Smart and timely" in the New York Times, and the New York Daily News wrote "This is powerful stuff, offering us not only a new look at the past, but unavoidably relevant insights into the present." It has been broadcast on television worldwide, including the BBC, CBC/Canada, ARTE/ France, and ABC/Australia, and the Sundance Channel in the U.S.
He followed that up in 2008-09 with the web series This is Where We Take Our Stand, that tells the story of "Winter Soldier/Iraq and Afghanistan," an event in which 250 veterans of those wars gave testimony condemning them. In December 2009, he was awarded full funding from PBS's Independent Television Service to turn the series into a film for a 2011 broadcast.
Zeiger created, produced and directed the landmark 13-part documentary series, Senior Year, for broadcast on PBS in January 2002. The series follows a group of 15 students at Fairfax High, the most diverse school in Los Angeles, through their last year in high school. About the series, Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Others have tried to document high school life, but this series succeeds where those drier efforts failed…High school is a time for experimentation, and finally, a truly experimental filmmaker is there." Funded by CPB, NAATA, LPB, and the MacArthur and Kellogg Foundations, Senior Year was broadcast in Europe on Planete Cable, and was a premiere series on the new U.S. English/Spanish cable network SíTV in 2004.
His short film Funny Old Guys premiered August, 2002, at the Museum of Television and Radio in Los Angeles. Its television premiere was August 19, 2003, on the HBO Documentary series "Still Kicking, Still Laughing." Funny Old Guys captures the final months of the life of Frank Tarloff, formerly blacklisted Academy Award winning writer, as he and a group of friends, all former TV and film writers, confront his imminent death.
The Band, Mr. Zeiger's tribute to his son, aired to critical acclaim on the PBS series P.O.V. in 1998. It has screened at the International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam and AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles, and was awarded "Best Documentary" and "Best of Show" at the Central Florida Film Festival. The Band was broadcast in 2000 on the French/German network ARTE.
Displaced in the New South aired in the United States on PBS in 1996 and on The Discovery Channel International in 1997. That film looks at life in and around Atlanta from the point of view of Vietnamese and Mexican immigrants. Its festival screenings include the Chicago Latino, Cine Acción Latino, South by Southwest, Doubletake and San Francisco Asian American Film Festivals. Displaced in the New South was the inspiration for the Indigo Girls' single "Shame on You," featured on their 1997 release Shaming of the Sun.

A Day For Me!
Well it started out as a day for me. I scored a last minute appointment at my salon and planned to shop for business apparel (in an effort to upgrade from my creative department uniform of denim and fleece.) So after a disastrous haircut (As in OMG! will it ever grow out?! Fuck fuck fuck!) that will probably be fine in a couple of weeks (fuck!) I decided to hit all the swanky girlie stores in my town center - none of which I've ever been in.
I started with the the shoe store, which always has lovely window displays and an interesting mix of Mephisto, Dansko and other hotsy totsy shoe names. It started snowing just as I walked out of the salon, so I was in the holiday, snowy, Saturday (pre-fucked up hair) light mood. I very nearly whistled! (Except that only serial killers and sex perverts whistle in public.) The store was bustling - I guess a lot of the ladies were in the mind of escaping the Christmas clean-up and doing a little shopping. I received a hearty "welcome" upon entering, and nearly had a stroke when I found the first pair of plain and simple low-heeled black boots sporting a $310 sticker price. Now I am a girl - and there are times when you absolutely must have a pair of something that costs $310 - but on December 30th with very little left of the Winter (I hope) - rack rate was unacceptable. I put the boot down gently and took a look at the other footwear on display. I found a few pairs of slip on casuals that were as reasonable as $125 but nothing that wowed me - and nothing that I couldn't get at TJMaxx for less than half the price. (This is where the internal struggle comes in: wanting to support my local "in town" shops vs. realizing I'm not the rich bitch of my dreams.) I thanked the shop people and backed out carefully.
I went next door to a French(ish) sort of place. There were a couple nice outfits in the window. The young ladies at the counter were lovely and welcoming, but everything in the store was party clothes. I work at an ad agency - the dress code is very flexible, but this stuff was pushing even those limits. I pawed through the racks of $300 trousers made of crepe and multi-seamed pinstrip flannel cuffed gauchos and decided I was not the target audience. I backed away slowly and said thank you.
In a (now) driving snow, I walked through the center and entered the last store on my planned slate. The two young ladies at the counter said "Hi" and "Welcome" and left me to my own shopping devices. I liked the merch in this paricular store. It covered every spectrum from work to play, day to evening and they carried lots of cool brands. I found a lot of dressy dressy pants and a ton of denim, but my wish for work clothing was eluding me. So I asked the girls at the counter (what's up with today's retail clerks hiding behind the counter?) if they could point me to some pants. Blonde girl #1 actually came out from the counter to bring me to "the" pants rack. On the pants rack I found some blue velvet trousers, that while very appealing, (on a lot of levels) were not very practical for my life in an ad agency. So I asked the girls if they had any other pants that weren't velvet. Blonde girl #1 walked me three feet to the left to another pants rack. This one contained brown velvet pants. I informed the ladies that I was looking for something other than velvet pants and (exasperated) blonde girl #2 exclaimed to me "Those are BROWN pants" - and when I finished stifling my giggles I backed away slowly. Bummer.
I did score some fabulous gift boxes on sale at CVS (thanks for the hook up Cynthia!) and wandered on home in the snow. I wish I'd brought my iPod because I totally would have listened to Christmas music in the winter wonderland that was unfolding in front of me. Not a bad afternoon despite the hairfuck. I totally just invented that word.

Posts Tagged: ZOA Results 2
Obama and the Christian-Muslim-Jewish NationOne staple of any great speech is that everyone hears it in a different way. For some, President Obama's inaugural address was all about hope and optimism; for others, it was about the nation's resilience. For the Zionist Organization of America's Morton Klein, it was all about one sentence: "We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and non-believers."
Turns out that it's all about the sequence, and Klein, the ZOA president, feels that Jews were unfairly downgraded to third place. In a press release, Klein reads into Obama's decision to put Muslims before Jews (and Hindus and non-believers) in his speech.
First, It Was Tutu — Now Two University Presidents Have Made the ZOA's Enemies List
Last year, it was Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu whom the Zionist Organization of America wanted drummed out of polite society. In that case, the ZOA could at least point (however clumsily) to a number of one-sided and perfervid criticisms of Israel by Tutu. (But does that mean a university should withdraw an invitation for a Nobel laureate to visit campus — an invitation that had nothing to do with Israel? Level heads at the Anti-Defamation League didn't think so.)
Now, the ZOA seems to be lowering the threshold necessary to qualify for its enemies list.

Phimagery (a photoblog) with a magazine style layout.
I have just reload my photoblog with a new design based a magazine style wordpress theme (Mimbo 1.x of Darren Hoyt). The evolution of the magazine layout is interesting. I found it offers great possibilities for developing a kind of photoblog mixing series (or galleries) with traditional single-pictures display. Briefly, with this magazine type layout i can blend into my site picture stories and snapshots. What do you think of this kind of photoblog ?

Burdened since childhood with a gnawing sense of guilt, cynical Aiden Chase journeys to a Haitian insane asylum in search of his missing brother. Upon arriving, he discovers all the inmates and the hospital administrator (Danny Trejo, Machete) are seemingly possessed by a bloodthirsty voodoo spirit. Now, Aiden must abandon reality and descend into a terrifying spirit world to try to rescue his brother - or they will both be damned for eternity.

is to buy an ADSL modem/router combination, and to fit a wireless network adapter to the second PC. The upstairs computer can be connected to the router by an Ethernet cable (that computer must have an ordinary network card installed, but pretty well all computers do).
Once the router is setup - an easy task - the second computer will be able to use the broadband connection at any time, without the need for the upstairs machine to be turned on. The router will establish the connection automatically each time it's switched on. It's not a good idea to leave a router connected permanently, so turn it off at night.
If you need specific advice about which router or network adapter to buy, post back, and one of us will make recommendations.

This has got to be one of my favorite all time books. I really enjoy the characters, story, everything.
I was really hoping that Archie would make a reappearance at some point in the story after separating from Sister. It kind of makes me sad that he probably died long before the story ended.
Also, I was hoping that whatever force possessed Paw Paw underneath his store would show up again, but it never does, and I suppose we are left to our on devices as to what it was.
I really enjoy the way that McCammon makes you like even the evil characters. Despite the horrible acts that Macklin and Roland commit throughout the book, you still can't help but to root for them. Me anyway.
And then there's Scarlet Eye/Friend, who is just awesome. How many other villians want to Watusi people's bones to dust? And I love the way that he seems to view himself as good. He calls Swan and the crown evil numerous times because they spread hope to humanity and hence would prolonge our miserable existance, therefore being inhumane.
And I also would like to add one of my favorite quotes in the book: "Oh... wow", Alvin Mangrim's last words.
There was one little piece of the plot that confused me however, and that would be the end. Friend flies on out of the bunker through a vent, not through the door. And yet Swan shuts the door and throws away the key, because now no one can get inside. But couldn't Friend just pop back in through the vent and atart it back up? He was there when the Prez entered in the startup code, so i didn't fully understand that.
That's all I got for now.

Swan Song
Perhaps it's just me, but I didn't like the magic. The story tries to be somewhat realistic as to how the world would be after a nuclear war, and the magic detracts from the realism. I would much prefer a story to be true as to how things would go. I suppose I could accept friend and the Job's masks as an allegory to evil and good, but the story already has Roland and Macklin for that.
Otherwise I think this story was great. I love the journey and the human element of people helping others through the dark days and sharing what little food they have.

October 1st, 2012, 08:17 AM #1Can't get into Avantlink.com -- Sends me to ca
Hey, something appears to be wrong with the Avantlink.com login page. When I try to go there, I'm automatically rerouted to Avantlink Canada -- and asked for all sorts of account updating information.
It's a bit alarming, because it shows me a zero account balance, instead of the amount I had in my account yesterday.
It also allows no option to receive payments via PayPal, which I always have.
I sent an email to support before I realized what the problem was -- that I'm being rerouted to the Avantlink Canada page, even though it's showing my current Avantlink.com information to update.

Okay, now I see what's happening.
When I log into Avantlink.com, for some bizarre reason I am automatically shown my account at Avantlink.ca -- which, to my knowledge, is an account I have never seen before.
In the upper part of the screen is a tiny drop down menu allowing me to choose either Avantlink.ca or Avantlink.com.
If after I've logged in I select Avantlink.com from that drop down menu, it takes me to my actual Avantlink.com account.
Very VERY awkward setup, if it's intentional. I vote for driving a stake through the heart of that setup and letting Avantlink.com affiliates log directly into Avantlink.com. If I actually have an account I've never seen before with Avantlink.ca, perhaps there would be a less confusing way to have this set up?
Maybe I'm the only one going through such confusion? It was certainly a jolt to the old early morning brain cells to be rerouted to Avantlink.ca when I logged it. And to see that zero account balance. And not have the PayPal payment option. And ...
Note to self: Stay away from Avantlink first thing in the morning before coffee, I guess.

Black and white women usually had separate clubs in the late 1800s.
Denied membership in white club women's national organizations, Mary Church Terrell in Washington, D.C., and Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin in Boston started two different national groups for African American women in the early 1890s.
In 1896 these two groups merged into the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), with Terrell as the first president.
Jewish women also had their own clubs, many of which started out as charity organizations for local synagogues. In 1893 Jewish women formed the National Council of Jewish Women, which was active in social reforms.
Mexican American women joined mutualistas (mutual-aid societies). These organizations offered group insurance, fought against discrimination, and encouraged literacy.
Under the motto "Lifting as we climb," NACW members started day-care facilities, kindergartens, and other programs and fought for the rights of women and African Americans.

Cassthomas – good luck when you test!
JenLynn – glad your follies are growing nicely!
Stillwaiting – good luck when you have your bloodwork done. I'm just curious, why are you so focused on your FSH? I mean I know that FSH can give you an indication on ovarian reserve, so of course that's always good to know, but will your clinic cancel your cycle if it's too high or change your protocol or something along those lines? I know you've probably mentioned in the past, but sorry I can't remember…how many follicles did you have with your first IVF?
(if I'm sounding derogatory or anything like that, I'm very sorry, because I'm not meaning to, it's so hard to get the context of your words across on these boards sometimes, and I'm honest curious)
Gretchen – lol…love the valium a day before the PIO, but your right, don't think RE's will go for it. Just think about your precious embies settling in for the long haul whenever you think you can't do a PIO!
J and K – yay for starting stims!!! Keep us updated on how things are going!
AFM – not much going on, I did mention to my supervisor at work that I might have to take some time off for the week of the 17th instead of the following week, so we are going to make some changes now to hopefully make things easier when I do get the date for transfer, but I think I'm still going to take the BCP a day or two longer…I'll kind of decide each morning
Oh….and I love how we have both the POAS Pusher President and the POAS Intervention Mafia Queen cycling together!
