- Irresistible Lip Liner
Product Description
Define and perfect the shape of your lips with artistic precision. Rich cocoa butter and skin-friendly jojoba allow our lip liner to glide on smoothly. Accentuate your lip line and keep lipstick from feathering. The creamy formula blends easily leaving no harsh lines. Neutral shades blend naturally with your skin tone to compliment your look.
- Product Details
- CERTIFIED gluten free
- Vegan
- Paraben Free
- Size .04 oz
- Comes in five essential shades
- Zen - warm pink
- Perfection - mocha rose
- Island Spice - rosey cinnamon
- Charisma - medium warm berry
- Fantasy - deep red berry
Here are some tips for sharpening your pencils
- Never press the pencil into the sharpener. Place the tip gently into the sharpener and twist, allowing the blade to do all the work. The JobaColors pencils are a bit softer than most liner formulas, allowing them to glide easily on the skin without pulling the delicate tissue. Therefore, more care needs to be taken when sharpening.
- Never sharpen to a sharp point.
- Always make sure you twist 360 degrees, and only do this once. Check the pencil. If it is not sharp enough, twist 360 degrees again. This ensures an even tip.

creamy liner
Posted by lee on 15th Aug 2017
Love this lip liner, I bought the perfection color and it is a great muted rose. I'm going to buy all of them, so easy to apply and no harmful ingredients!
Great coverage, beautiful color
Posted by Unknown on 7th Mar 2017
My lips do not have a uniform color, I have lips with tones and I've had difficulty finding a natural lipliner that truly cover my lip. Usually my lip tones comes trough. But this lipliners do the job, I love the colors and the ability to wear them by themselves as a matte lipstick. I've tried it in Perfection, Charisma and Fantasy. My favorite one is Charisma. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because with 2 of the 4 irresistible liners that I have the the tip breaks easily while I am applying it. Overall I recommend them, great product!
Smooth, Gorgeous Colors
Posted by Emily on 2nd Mar 2017
I love how smoothly these glide over my lips. The neutral shades are perfect to wear on their own or with lipstick or gloss. They work perfectly for me and I have very dry lips. No feathering, no lines...I will be buying again. I tried 4 of the 5 shades:Zen, Island Spice, Perfection and Charisma. All colors are beautiful! I would love=) to see even more colors to choose from
Fantasic! Just ordered a second color!
Posted by Unknown on 21st Feb 2017
Great product! I have medium skin with neutral to yellow undertones. My natural lip color is somewhat light and I tend to wear more natural colored lipstick and lip gloss (lip gloss is my go to). I debated which color to order and settled on Perfection. Great color - maybe a tad darker/browner than I wanted, but great for the darker lip colors that I use. Ordering the Zen now for a lighter option. If I had it to do over, I would've ordered both at the same time!
Island spice
Posted by Lisa Egemba on 5th Dec 2016
Tried my first through the buzz box. Definitely worth the try! Island spice is a rosy brown like a maroon shade so deeper than a tan. The texture is velvety and smooth. Although it could be a bit drying if lips are not prepped ahead of time. Great under lipstick since it has something to stick to. Surprisingly, the lipstick and liner pairing actually lock in moisture so definitely moisturize ahead of time and then follow through with liner and so on.
Posted by Amy Robinson on 9th Nov 2016
Great color, it goes really well with other berry colored products, like Cherokee and Seduction lipstick, and Viper lip gloss. There is just a little shimmer to this pencil, which I don't love, but I cover it up with my matte lipstick and I'm good to go!
Stays on really well, doesn't bleed or fade, and isn't super drying like most lip liners.
Creamy coverage
Posted by Karen Houlding on 19th Sep 2016
This lip liner is very easy to apply with its soft consistency and gives good, long lasting coverage as well. It lasts a long time as it just takes a light touch to apply. It sharpens beautifully with 1 or 2 turns in the Honeybee Gardens Dual Sharpener.
Great lip liner
Posted by Unknown on 8th Sep 2016
Honeybee Gardens lip liners are just the right consistency and wear very well. Island Spice is a favorite because the color suites me very well. It's not too brown, but it has warmth and goes well with lipstick or alone with just a clear- ish gloss. It is a staple in my make-up bag. I've reordered it many times over. BTW, Mocha Rose is also excellent...... but it does seem to be always out of stock...
Love this lip liner
Posted by Tereska Brown on 5th Sep 2016
Color matches the lipstick I bought from honeybeegarden and I will be back
Applies smoothly - nice liner
Posted by Eileen on 4th Jul 2016
I ordered this to use with the Thoroughbred lipstick I ordered. I like the texture and quality of both and like using a product without toxic ingredients, but (my mistake) I ordered the wrong color of both. I'll try again.

The dictionary defines versatile as "competent in many things; able to turn from one subject to another and many-sided". This is an apt description of Cathy Choi, the Financial Controller for the Emperor Watch & Jewellery Group, a renowned group engaged in the retail of brand name watches and fine jewelry in both Hong Kong and China.
Finishing Form 5 with a distinction in mathematics, she stood at a crossroads being equally interested in engineering, science and commerce. But, together with most of her classmates, she decided to follow the latest buzz and turned to commercal studies.
Prior to joining the Emperor Watch & Jewellery Group as Finance Manager in May 1999, Ms Choi had a record of proficiency in practicing as an accountant and finance manager in several large Hong Kong and internationally listed organizations. Ms Choi was promoted to the position of Financial Controller of the Emperor Watch & Jewellery Group in March 2000, and now is in charge of the Group's finance and accounts departments for both the Hong Kong and China operations.
Integrity and dedication
Achieving the position of financial controller is a result of many years' struggle. "In the old days at work, I had a tough grind of overtimes with an unbelievable record of only 20 days off per year which included Sundays. I had a rough time and boundless work, but I shielded myself with my commitment to and passion for my job," Ms Choi reminisces. Since finance and accounts have a lot to do with calculations, a lot of patience is required as well as alertness to avoid blunders.
She advises: "Be dedicated to your job, love it and work hard with passion and it will definitely bring rewards. Constantly strive with a steady state of mind to fulfill your role of being a powerful part of your company. Integrity will take one far."
Making the grade
To qualify as an accountant, one needs to take the UK's Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) professional examination, which consists of 14 papers; or the Hong Kong Society of Accountants (HKSA) examination. According to Hong Kong standards, both are up to the mark. Then one can opt to branch out in two major fields, auditing or finance & accounts.
Subsequently, three to five years of professional training is required, depending on one's academic background, to gain the practical experience needed. This period is the most critical time for any employee since, depending on their performance, they can be promoted but also rejected. From there onwards begins the rise to the top as long as one can endure the hard work.
"Qualifying for and registering with accounting bodies like the ACCA of the UK can add value to your job title," explains Ms Choi, who is a member. She sets an example by currently working hard to gain an Executive MBA from the City University of Hong Kong.
Undertaking diverse tasks
On obtaining her ACCA accreditation, Ms Choi started her career with an international accounting firm in Hong Kong where she gained accounting and auditing experience in a wide range of industries and corporations. "The more practical experience you have, the more it shows that you must be good at [your job].
"In this profession, your job specification can include overseeing your company's finance and accounting matters, monitoring the treasury, looking through taxation issues, managing the confidential payroll along with a little bit of administration. You have to be up to date with IT desktop skills. Your involvement with the company is diverse and hence you are required to persevere in whatever tasks you are assigned to do," sums up Ms Choi.
Current concerns
With the problem of mounting corruption as well as greed, professional ethics are giving way to malpractice. The issue of auditor independence and inadequate regulations may have been the main contributing factors to the recent accounting scandals and they will necessitate stricter monitoring practices in auditing, financial reporting and corporate governance.
According to Ms Choi, in the near future, the major cause for concern will be the change in accounting standards in the United States and the United Kingdom along with the reinforcement of corporate governance.
With China's increasing presence on the world stage, Hong Kong accountants will have to better equip and "globalize" themselves. As a result of China's accession to the WTO, more and more international companies will go to China and expand their operations there, creating vast employment opportunities.
Since the accounting system in China is quite different from the one practiced in Hong Kong, Ms Choi advises interested candidates to spend some time and effort on understanding these differences prior to taking up their work in China, as the work will be full of challenges. She says: "Nevertheless, Hong Kong's international exposure in the business and accounting world should work in our favor."

Cookstown collision: Brian McGinn dies after being hit by car on Lissan Road
A man has died after being struck by a car in Cookstown.
Police named the pedestrian as 57-year-old Brian McGinn. It is believed Mr McGinn walked from the direction of Cookstown when he was struck by a red Mercedes car at around 11.45pm on the Lissan Road.
Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the incident.
Officers are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time leading up to the collision and who may have seen Mr McGinn to contact them.
Officers are also keen to speak with the driver of a dark coloured car, possibly a Volkswagon, which is reported to have passed the scene of the collision shortly before it occurred.
Constable Nick Browne has appealed for anyone with any information to contact officers at the Collision Investigation Unit on 101.

Ernest Turgoose 626 Sqd.My wife's late grandfather, Ernie Turgoose, volunteered and entered the RAF in 1939/40, aged approx 35. He was in Groundcrew throughout WW2, in the UK. I believe he ended the war at Wickenby, I saw his squadron photo taken in front of a Lanc, which I believe was shot there when was he with 626 Squadron. My wife recalls him saying he was also at Honiley (Warwickshire) which is our 'local' airfield. He may also have been at Honeybourne (Worcs). Does anyone remember him or know anything more about his service?Richard Pratt
Robert Thomas Bradbury 115 SquadronMy Dad, Robert Thomas Bradbury, served as an engineer with Bomber Command in 115 Squadron. He did his initial training at Cardington. He is second left on this picture which was taken at Marham in 1940. He transferred to Honeybourne at the end of 1941 and to Honley in 1943. The second picture was taken there and Dad is in the centre of the back row. It is labelled MU Honley 1944/45David
F/Lt. Thomas Charles "Nick" Carter 234 SquadronMy father Thomas Carter joined the RAF soon after his 18th birthday and started his flying training at 16FTS, Derby. At some point during these early months he was given the sobriquet 'Nick', after the hero of a popular radio series entitled 'Nick Carter Private Detective'. For the rest of his life he was known as Nick to RAF and work colleagues.
After basic flying training he was posted to 57 at RAF Hawarden to convert onto Spitfires. After 12 hours of solo on Spitfires he was suddenly posted, as a Sergeant Pilot, to RAF Roborough where he flew Lysanders on Air-Sea Rescue duties. From Roborough he was transferred to RAF Warmwell in Dorset where he continued flying Lysanders on 1487 Target Towing Flight. Finally, at the beginning of 1943 he was posted to 52 OTU at RAF Aston Down to restart his conversion onto Spitfires. This time he completed the course.
From Aston Down he joined 234 Squadron at RAF Skeabrae in the Orkneys flying Spitfire Vb and from there he moved with the squadron to RAF Honiley and then to RAF West Malling. At West Malling 234 Squadron commenced fighter sweeps and bomber escort sorties over France. During a busy couple of months Nick Carter was awarded one Messerschmitt Bf 109, probably destroyed, and one damaged.
Then, virtually all of the 234 Squadron pilots were sent to Australia to form 549 Squadron flying Spitfire Mk VIII. For the rest of the war Nick and the rest of the pilots, their aircraft serviced by RAAF groundcrew, flew in the defence of Darwin in Northern Australia.
In many ways Nick had a lucky war; despite 5 years of operational and training flying he came through unharmed. Unlike the 'aces' he did little damage to the enemy, but, in common with the vast majority of RAF aircrew who never made it into the history books he did 'his bit' and we should be immensely proud of all of them.Chris Carter

An Air France passenger jet with more than 200 people on board has gone
missing and is feared to have crashed off the coast of Brazil, after
flying into strong tropical turbulence and probable lightning.
Authorities say Brazilian Air Force flight controllers last held contact with Flight 447 bound for Paris as it was leaving Brazilian airspace early Monday, 350 kilometers northeast of the coastal city of Natal (near the island of Fernando de Noronha).
In Paris, Air France said evidence, including an automated alert, shows the plane with 228 people on board then encountered storms and experienced a catastrophic systems failure before it was to have entered Senegalese airspace 50 minutes later.
Atlantic search and rescue operations are currently under way, with elements of the Brazilian and French military searching a vast area of the Atlantic described as three times larger than Europe.
Authorities are warning it may take a long time to complete the search.
Air France official Pierre Henri Gourgeon told CNN there was no voice contact with the pilots, as the airliner sent automated distress signals after encountering turbulence. He said such warnings without voice confirmation suggest the plane was in "a dire situation" when the message was transmitted.
Portuguese air control authorities told the Associated Press the missing plane did not make contact with controllers in Portugal's Azores Islands. Officials also said they do not believe the aircraft contacted controllers in Cape Verde, Casablanca or the Canary islands.
Air France says 60 French citizens were on the plane, while Italy said at least three passengers were Italian.
First reports of the missing plane came from Paris about an hour after the airliner was due to land at Charles de Gaulle airport (at 0915 UTC). Authorities have ruled out an attack or hijacking.

Pretoria - President Jacob Zuma has condemned the series of Christmas Day bomb attacks in Nigeria and conveyed his condolences to his Nigerian counterpart, President Goodluck Jonathan, his office said.
The confirmed death toll stood at 35 on Monday night. The militant Islamist group Boko Haram claimed responsibility.
During his recent visit to Nigeria, Zuma underscored the need for the two countries to work together to promote peace and security, sustainability and democracy in the continent of Africa, a statement read.
"South Africa will work with Nigeria, within the ambit of the African Union, to rid the continent of terrorism and other related ills," the president said during the visit.
Zuma expressed condolences "particularly families of the deceased and the injured, during this difficult time of mourning and sadness," the statement read.
Zuma is such an idiot. Just the other day he basically said that Christianity which the settlers brought is to blame for South Africas problems and that we should go back to worshipping trees or whatever they worshiped before the settlers came. Now he offers condolences for bombed churches. Like he cares. Make up your mind Jacob!
Can credit be given where it is due? The man, even though he recently admitted to having some issues with Christianity, and while on holiday with his super-size family of 3 wives, 2 fiances, and 22 children still managed to take time to be mindful of those in pain. Which is truely far more than most people in his position can do in four lifetimes.
I'd be very interested to know why his mother chose the biblical name "Jacob"
@Shoe, sure we will give him credit when it is due. Not this time though because he is only uttering the thoughts of one of the Luthuli House phishing spin doctors otherwise he would have been silent. Then again, maybe some of 419 buddies got caught up in the terror attacks.
Says the anc which ordered church attacks in Cape Town less than 20 years ago!
@Paul "I'd be very interested to know why his mother chose the biblical name "Jacob"
Interesting question. Jacob means deceiver :)
to paul
his mother heard the name from Afrikaaners which is pronounced Jakop, she thought ja he has a kop but no brains in it, hence Jakop
At last, a fair comment from Atheitis.
Earlier you wrote that Muslims "secretly applauded" the savage attacks. Good to see that you reconsidered it.
These terrorist acts only makes our wonderful faith look bad.
@ DewDawn; fair enough. But you guys seem to forget that poor Zuma, like any other puppent, is totally dependent on the one pulling the strings.
The poor guy, with his low levels of formal education and exposure, relies and totally depends on the advice of the educated elite that used him to get the positions they now occupy. Just look at the advice he has been getting from Radebe lately. They are making a total stooge out of the guy.
Aligning himself with a potential terrorist state...another dumb move by an illiterate buffoon.
Islam is too poisinous to the black Nigerians and they will foolishly defend it because they have foolishly embrased an unAfrican culture. Nigerian must think amd accepted that there are Africans maube its better they practice what thier fore fathers used to practise. Muslim is an Arab religion not African. Its a religion that has caused a lot of suffering to the black Nigerians.
agreed although don't blame islam but rather the F****ng terrorists who distort it. i think nigeria has 2 send in the army and wipe these F*****rs out. condolences 2 the families of the loved ones.
Very good comment and many black African don't know it.
@Atheitis: Just one question?
How do you know this Man was white?
BTW, your accusations has no substance and hatred does not assist your cause!
@Atheitis, I can understand why you don't understans christianity, you intellect and spelling is atrocious, no wonder, you can't read. Poor fella!!!
BTW it is ATHEIST!!!
@Atheist. Nothing original from you yet? Same old same old satanic babble and hate for the living Christ. Amazing that he even died and rose for fools like you, because he is God.
"Muslim is an Arab religion not African" ???
And I suppose that Christianity is an African religion, right Nkosinathi?
You're forgetting that NGK Christianity brought alot of suffering to black South Africans.
@Atheitis, Jesus was white? Really? Are you trying perpetuate the myth that the Bible is a "white man's book" to further your 'cause'?
Being born in the Middle East to Middle Eastern Jewish parents it is a very high probability the Jesus was of Arab appearence. There is little to no chance that Jesus was white.
@Atheis: Why you wish this article to become a racist column, I yet have to understand your reasoning!?? Nearly? Sounds like a"average"!
Was Allah white? For that matter was Budhah white?
Let me guess, every spiritual Leader in your eyes are white, that's why you are an Atheis(t)?
Oh, and BTW, for an Atheis(t), you know quite a bit about the Quran! Amazing......
I wish we had a President that's not a Fool!
That won't change as long as people continue to vote for ANC
@KenJayMay: And what does that say about the people who put him in power?
It also says a lot about the people who voted in vervoed and his lot.
Religious intolerance and extremism must be condemned regardless of the religion or the leader that does it. President Zuma has done the right thing, he is showing compassion on behalf of the South African people - solidarity in Nigerias hour of sorrow. Lastly, Islam teaches peace and tolerance, extremism must be to blame not Islam or even Christianity.
So what type of extremists would you say they are if not Islamic extremists? (Incidentally Boko Haram admit to being Islamic)!
Islam teaches peace and tolerance? Hahahahahahah good joke my friend. Islam is fundamentally intolerant of all other religions. I think you need to do some research to rid yourself of such ignorance
Yeah, you're missing alot Atheitis.
The first 2 verses don't speak about killing non-Muslims at all.
The third verse does, but if you had studied the entire Qur'an, (you obviously did not), you would know that it is in the context of Self-defence. In other words, when the other group is the agressor and intends to kill Muslims.
Please stop posting nonsense.
And Atheitis, you are misquoting the verses completely. Which translation of the Qur'an are you using?
Allah will punish you for your lies and misrepresentation - Whether you believe in God or not, is immaterial.
This is a good one comming from the ANC who not so long ago used exactly the same dispicable tactic of church bombings...
This is a good one comming from the ANC who not so long ago used exactly the same despicable tactic of church bombings...
I think Jacobus Zoo-ology three working brainsells tell him there is a something like white christianity and black christianity. Thats why he talks like what he talks. . . .
Thank you President. I love it when you act like a President!
Now keep your head together and get a professional to write your speeches and fire that sidekick Maharaj. He will still facilitate your downfall.
If Maharaj writes his speeches, is that why this antagonism towards Christianity came through in his last speech?
How ironic! The ANC bombed a church themselves as a 'legitimate' target. Now Zuma ondemns the very same act of terrorism! Are we harbouring Bok Haram terrorists here in South Africa? Can Zuma assure us of that?
Well seeing the anc was fighting against the oppression of the previous government I'd say these two situations cannot be compared
Anyone remember the St James Church bombing? Who did that again??? Man, I think the political party's name started with an 'A'
Don't blame Islam for this, it is crazy individuals who twist their religion for their own ends. So sick. God be with those people.
The political party that was responsible for the St James Church attack did not start with an "A".
It starts with a "P". As in PAC.
AZAPO was its military wing.
One of the PAC leaders at the time has a name that also starts with a "P"
As in Patricia de Lille.
And by the way, why shouldn't we blame Islam for the Nigeria church bombings when the Muslim Boko Haram sect has already claimed responsibility in the name of Islam and Sharia law?
Where are the Muslim leaders that will stand up and condemn this act?They are too scared to speak against a declared Jihad or Fatwa - they know what will happen to them if they do.
Thank you. Eish these people that think one mould fits us all.
Atheitis, you've done it again. Posting utter nonsense.
How can any Muslim secretly applaud Boko Haram, when their terrorist actions make us all look bad? I will never be ashamed to be a Muslim - I've benefited far too much spiritually, in my life from following Islamic teachings - but I am ashamed of the fact that Extremists are using the name of my wonderful faith to kill innocents.
But ... Mr Zuma, remember it's Christians fault that there are orphanages and old age homes, oh then it must also be their fault that aids have caused so many orphans .. so why on earth would you be sorry about the attack on churches.
He didn't say Christians should be killed
Zuma you amuse me !!...You are a frikken "draadsitter"...one day u claim to be a christian pastor the next day you can't tolerate christians....Stop drinking and get direction !!
I think the phrase you are looking for is "Stop shagging and get direction". Clearly when this man "starts thinking" he gets an erection.
Mr prez we also have ANCYL to condem b4 they bcm domestic terrorists.
It suprising to see Africans fighting over foreign religions.Islamic and Christinity religions are not from Africa.What happen to African indigenous religious.
Christian churches were in parts of Africa; Ethiopia, Nigeria and Congo before any European came here. It came down from the Middle East before the Suez canal when that country was one with Afica, if what I read is true. In fact at some stage in history the continents were one. Chistianity moved south with black groups moving south.
In reply to your question - "What happened to African Indigenous religion?"
It is apparently live and well.
The ancient doctrines of Greed, corruption, plain idiocy, tribalism and racism are practised all over Africa. Mass murder is still regularly on the advent calendar.
The high priests wear Armani suits, Breitling watches and drive Range Rovers. These are festooned with flashing blue lights and howling sirens, heralding the arrival of the reverend.
There are thousands of temples - some preach Nandoism and another sect offers Kayefseeism.
Oh, and they still slaughter cows and goats when they are happy or sad.
Their holy water used for annointing and soothing the inner worshipper, comes from Scotland, in a square bottle with a blue label. It is made by the disciple Johnnny Walker.
Looking at the comments here i fail to understand the mentality of most- surely most if not all countries offer condolences to each other during times like these. yes he did blame the church for whatever but he didn't say kill Christians. Please i pray we do not let racism cloud our intelligence. so if someone is an atheist he must not convey his condolences?
Sir! These being ''Christian'' chuches. And given your stance on Christiananity and your elected life style, shouldnt you be dancing and rejoycing?
OH....it SPEAKS!
Who is Zuma really the other day he make a statement if you vote ANC then you go to heaven, he actually said Jesus is not good enough.. Think about it, He insult God the Almighty and Jesus..
No he wants to sympathize. My suggestion is we have another public holiday to try to find Zuma`s personality try to figure out who he really is..
It is the human race and politics that will destroy and destroying humankind not religion
Without humankind there is no religion.
Every single major war, minor conflict and back-yard strife on the go at the moment throughout our tiny world of 7 billion, has as its root cause none other than RELIGION.
Your, and your kinds', belief in beings supernatural and your overwhelming compunction to defend those beliefs in the most violent manners possible, are what the world needs to rid Herself of.
2.1 billion christians, 1,1 billion muslims and 500 million other sycophants banished to fight out your petty differences on Mars(sorry Mars) would solve all, ALL, the problems of this world.
Why cant you CONDEMNS THE KILLING OF INNOCENT WHITE FARMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ????????????????????
He condemns it.
There's a farm by Limpopo River apparently it used to belong to my great great grandfolks, I want it back! You know how i'm gonna have it?
@Moss: MMMMM, must be one of your fourfathers!
Just wonder which one? JZ is a possibility though?!
BTW, Malemmer already bought it for R4m cash, better you go ask him for a shack or a shaik?
Where on earth do u live? hes the one who eliminatd ur number1 enemy, nw u say ths sht.
@Mike, trying so hard to make intelligent comments haa!! Maybe at Rapport, your comments are too average and obvious
@Moss: If the sun shines? Wake up and smell the roses!
Did vervoed and botha condemn the thousands of black people who died under apartheid law?
I'm sure Nigeria accepts the condolences and very happy with your empathy during their mourning time. Never worry about the sick cynics you have here in SA, especially in news24.
Smoking some of your own product I see..........
I do not mind, Mr Noah? Your clown still entertains most of us. HAHAHAHAHA
Jacob Zuma is an idiot of the first order....not a week ago condems Christianity for all the problems in SA now....Church bombings...Robert Mcbride..ANC..bring back memories..one mans terrorist is another Freedon Fighter so Jacob Zuma/ANC....they proven yet again,all in it for self enrichment...nothing more...nothing less..
Zuma sends his condolences as a State President to another state for the "lives" that are lost. Is that very hard to concieve? He further says "South Africa will work with Nigeria, within the ambit of the African Union, to rid the continent of terrorism and other related ills," is that commitment to work with Nigeria naive? Who is really an idiot here, Zuma or Trevor?
It is saddening that countries where islam is dorminant is blessed with terror,there is no religeous tolerance.Let us pray for the peoples of nigeria,somalia,afghanistan,pakistan etc that people can not be forced to live by sharia law,people need freedom to choose and decide for themselves if they want christianity or islam
Mboneni, just about everywhere where Muslims became agitated and violent, is a where a non-Muslim power interfered first:
Palestine - Britain and USA and now Israel
Iraq - USA
Afghanistan - USSR & USA
Egypt - British colonisers
Tunisia - French colonisers
Philippines - Americans
Nigeria - Nato interference due to its oil and strategic advantages
ad nauseum.
Jihaad is a defensive, not an offensive measure. Terrorism is not Jihaad - it is evil.
Zuma the rising African Anti Christ
Zuma should leave other countries alone and condemn all the taxi killings.
Ellamyn you're stupid. Heads of state usually condemn or send condolences to other countries. What do you expect zuma to do?
with that bullsh*t said it's off to nklanda to make more pikinienies that the taxpayer can support, great words from the oversized great kahuna with the one brain cell that can't dance, those wise words should comfort the victims who imported their evil religion to African shores
oh yeh this is bad RIP THOSE ARE DIED
Jacob was a super hero Xhosa who became Chaka Zulu's right hand man after being imprisoned on Robin Island for a while, sailing with the English, and eventually making his way to Chaka, after surviving an upended boat in the surf off Zululand. It was probably him who gave Chaka the idea to invent the short stabbing spear (similar to a sword) and the strategies for conventional warfare which worked so much in his favour. I reckon Zuma was named after him.
Zuma is zulu not xhosa, idiot
Most of the people commenting here are idiots. Read the headline, read the story..what the hell do you want Zuma to say, it's like everyone wants him to NOT condemn it. Zuma did and said the right thing, get over it!
Here talks a man who said that christianity is the cause that responsible for ubuntu deminishing. I'm sorry to say this but our president is stupid
Goodness! If these nay-saying white people were so vocal about the previous government as they are about the current government we would have been liberated years ago! There's nothing wrong with zuma condemning these attacks!

An Island Getaway
Muui do Travel Blog› entry 26 of 50 › view all entries
June 13th, 2009 – by: highway_chile
Early the next morning after a few requests for "five more minutes" we hurried our asses to the train station cause we were late. It was all good though, because our great and fearless leader Warren is a good guy and so everyone waited for us. There was about 30 individuals for this trip to Muuido Island. It is a small island right off the airport island. We took the bus as far as we could and then walked down the long road to the ferry. Got on the 4 minute ferry and crossed over to the island. Once there, we walked for about an hour to our destination.
I didn't partake in the second half. I had other things on my mind, like my new friend I was enjoying the company of so much. We went back to the beach to chill some more and upon her request, I picked the guitar back up and sang a few songs for her and the Koreans (I finally broke the fear of singing in public, thank you norabong).
Sunday was great too. I woke up next to Warren G and proceeded to see who could drink the most water the fastest. Not sure who won, but I definitely releaved some bodily fluids for a much longer period of time.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian home resale prices rose in August by the smallest amount since the Teranet-National Bank Composite House Price Index began climbing 16 months ago, data showed on Wednesday.
The index, which measures price changes for repeat sales of single-family homes, showed overall prices rose 0.2 percent in August from July. But prices fell in Calgary and Vancouver, and Toronto recorded its smallest gain in months.
It was the second straight month that prices did not rise across all six markets that the index tracks.
The Calgary index slipped 0.5 percent in the month, while Vancouver fell for a second straight month, down 0.4 percent.
That was offset by a gain of 0.5 percent in Montreal, a 0.9 percent rise in Halifax, and an index-leading 1.4 percent advance in Ottawa. The Toronto monthly rise was 0.4 percent, the smallest in five months.
Prices were up 10.4 percent from a year earlier, the smallest 12-month gain in six months.
The data is in line with other indicators that showed the housing sector has been cooling steadily in recent months. The sector helped pull Canada's economy out of recession, but it waned as pent-up demand was absorbed and interest rates rose.
TD Bank economist Shahrzad Mobasher Fard said he expected the prospects for any acceleration in price growth to be limited, due to the slowing economy and a less consumer-driven environment.
The Teranet index tracks repeat sales to measure home prices over time, so its calculations are based on properties with at least two sales. The report gave no actual prices.

Filed under: Health and TechnologyWith human embryo use in the cloning arena being federally banned, scientists have moved elsewhere to advance the cause of embryonic stem cell use. To that end, researchers have now said that embryonic stem cells have been created from monkey embryos.
This is significant because this breakthrough would give hope to the field of using clones to produce embryonic stem cells rather than using actual human embryos for the same thing. But are clones not human?
While medically this is quite exciting for many, the ramifications of philosophy and varying opinions on the subject will continue in fierce fashion I'll bet. And, they should.

Care Gauge
Saying "I couldn't care less" is the correct usage for describing that one can not express any more distaste for something. However, I have come to realize there may be scenarios where people want to express that they really could care less, because they have not reached the lowest point of caring. With that in mind, I created this care gauge.
My motivation for this shirt idea came from a design I created for a friend, that showed the different levels of caring in the form of a line graph. That graph did not look good in shirt-form, so I recreated the design into a clean and simple car gauge style.

FARAI CHIDEYA, host:
From NPR News, this is News & Notes. I'm Farai Chideya. Did some big-time journalists hold their tongues about the buildup to war? A new book by former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has got some top journalists talking. Meanwhile, soldier suicides are the highest in nearly two decades, and the first black governor of New York makes his mark. For more, we have Corey Dade, Atlanta correspondent for the Wall Street Journal. Also, radio show host Cynthia Hardy of "On Point with Cynthia Hardy," and Ernie Suggs, urban affairs reporter at the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Hi, folks.
Mr. ERNIE SUGGS (Urban Affairs Reporter, Atlanta Journal Constitution): Hey, how are you doing?
Mr. COREY DADE (Atlanta Correspondent, Wall Street Journal): Hi.
Ms. CYNTHIA HARDY (Host, "On Point with Cynthia Hardy"): Hi.
CHIDEYA: So there is so much to talk about this week. You know, this Scott McClellan memoir tell-all is just all over the place. Let me start with you, Corey. What do you make of how he assesses whether the White House was willing to tell the truth, willing to participate in a dialogue, I guess, with the journalist and with the American public?
Mr. DADE: I think this is just the latest confirmation of what journalists have talked about for the last few years, which is the lack of disclosure, the infringement upon the public's right to know in general, and especially, the infringement on freedom of the press, but I think about the coverage issues, as it relates to the war in Iraq. And I was in Boston at the Boston Globe when America went to war. And we did a lot of coverage on 9/11 in particular, because many - because the planes originated from Boston, and many Bostonians or Massachusetts residents died in those fires at the twin towers.
And so, for us, we had a difficult job. We had to absorb the feelings of - and the opinions of the public, and articulate them to - you know, in print. But in the same time, we had stay removed. So I think, all journalists had a difficult job there. And I think this really deals with the elite journalists who cover the White House and the Pentagon and the pressures that they did face, because it is clear that they did face pressures to make sure that they didn't go too far in criticizing this administration.
CHIDEYA: Cynthia, do you think the pressure just came from the White House, or from the federal government, or did it come from people who just said, I don't want to hear America criticized at the time like this? I mean, what were you hearing, as you went about your work as a talk-show host?
Ms. HARDY: Well, I think that journalists, you know, by and large, want to be fair and want to be objective. But I think we have to remember that, during the post-9/11 time, that people in general felt vulnerable, they felt exposed. There was a lot patriotic feelings in the air. Having said that, though, our news media is supposed to be an objecting - an objective sounding board of sorts, a filter that we can kind of count on to let the general public know the real deal.
And most commercial-media outlets, however, generally reflect some kind of a slant. Not that the media is intentionally dishonest, but let's face it, we are selective about what we cover, and what we deem news to be. So, I just think that it isn't necessarily the media's role to wage a campaign for or against an action, but rather to provide some kind of objective information for readers, for viewers, for listeners to be able to discern for themselves. And to a large extent, I just don't know that the public had the appetite to hear anything other than something that was going to make us feel whole again, after feeling that we had been violated at 9/11.
CHIDEYA: Ernie, if there had been more aggressive coverage right on time, with the buildup to war, do you think people would have been mad at it?
Mr. SUGGS: I don't think they would have been mad at it, but I think that - I think that, as Corey said, you are dealing with the elite media here. And you are dealing - if you look at it on a micro level or a mini level - micro level or maxi level, any kind of administration's going to try to dictate what the coverage is. It's going to be a matter of those publications, and those news outlets, to try to manage that dictation that the White House, or the mayor's house, or the governor's house is trying to dictate on the media.
I don't think that necessarily, the elite media, as Corey has said, did as aggressive a job as they could have perhaps done. But I do think, on the other hand, that some of the questions were asked. We were just dealing with the White House that, as McClellan has stated in this, as we have known for the last eight years, that is very, very - knows how to work with the media, knows how to, I guess, get their point across through the media. And that, in a way, has impacted how we cover it. It has impacted how the news has filtered out to our readers and our listeners.
CHIDEYA: Corey, before we move on, there are a few people who were talking about this right now. CNN congressional correspondent, Jessica Yellin, was working at MSNBC right before the war, and she says she felt producers ran broadcasts that were consistent with what she calls, quote, "patriotic fever," in the country during the time. And then Katie Couric of CBS News said there was a pressure. Do you feel that pressure at all now, in any way, to shape your coverage?
Mr. DADE: On the print side, I think, we have the luxury, as it were, to not be so tightly adhered to ratings for every segment or our reporting. And then, I think on the TV side, you know, when you look at public sentiment, it is very much correlated to ratings in the minds of TV executives. And so, that kind of drives what they'd like to put on air.
In the case of print, you know, no, I don't feel - I personally don't feel, and most of my colleagues do not feel, any overt, or even low-key or subliminal pressure to play up any sentiments from the public in our coverage that reflects patriotism. I think, at this point, there is sort of a reflexive overcorrection among the media to actually be far more scrutinizing of this administration.
CHIDEYA: Cynthia, let me go to something that's related, which is just how the war is playing out, and there is a case where Army suicides are up. A new report says that there is a 13 percent increase over the past year in soldier suicides. Forty percent of the suicides happened stateside after the soldiers have come home. Cynthia, what do you think folks in journalism should be covering about this story?
Ms. HARDY: I think we all should recognize the fact that there is a lot going on in the heads of these guys that we're not talking about. And I think, part of it, when you look at the number of folks that commit suicide, once it gets stateside, I think that we have to recognize that fact that they, too, you know, are conflicted about what it is that they have done, and the reasons for which they've done it. I think it must be terribly troubling mentally, particularly when we look at the talk that we are having now, about it not being a war of necessity, but being a war of choice.
And to think of what they've been through, and what they've seen, and what they've given, it must leave them questioning, and I think that we have to factor all of that in. I think, along with our conversations about the fact that we are seeing the suicides, as much as we can do on this side to try to help with posttraumatic stress, and recognize that we're not doing all that we can for our veterans when they come back, and any lobbying, you know, they can be done, should be done.
CHIDEYA: Ernie, you're an urban-affairs reporter, and there's a large population of both soldiers and veterans who come from America's urban communities and America's black communities. What are you hearing about how people are thinking about the war, and or how veterans are being treated?
Mr. SUGGS: In terms of veterans, you know, you can look at it every day here at Atlanta, seeing homeless men, you know, Atlanta has a huge homeless population. I do not know how many of those are from the recent - most recent gulf war. But I think that shows a trend that could be a national trend of how returning veterans from World War II, or Vietnam, or Korea, wherever, are coming home, and are not getting the services that they should be entitled to as defenders of our country.
So you have a lot to talk about, you know, what is the government doing, you know? You had a report a couple days ago about a woman who said that she had to rely on charities to get help. You know that shouldn't be the case, and I think that a lot of people in urban areas are seeing the effects, have seen these soldiers come home without benefits, without jobs, without education, and are suffering for it.
You know, when I was in college, 1985 to 1990, a lot of my classmates, you know, were in the Army just to get - or not just to get, but as a benefit, to get an education, and they were gone on weekends, and you know, they weren't at step practice or whatever and they were - we knew what their obligations were. And now, with this war going on, it's a whole different dynamic that I don't even know if - I don't think that we are looking at service the way we used to. And subsequently, when these people are coming home, they're not being treated as they should be treated.
CHIDEYA: All right. We're entering a speed round. This is going to have to be short. New York Governor David Paterson has taken a stand on gay marriages and they can't be performed in New York, per se. But he's saying state agencies should recognize gay marriages that are performed where they are legal, in places like Massachusetts and California. You know, Paterson came in and kind of swept up after the sex scandal in New York State. And now, some people are saying this is a bold but risky move, given that he's got a whole bunch of things on his plate. Corey, do you think that this will help shape policy or will it help undermine his governorship.
Mr. DADE: I don't think he risks much political capital here. New York state politics, certainly in the city, but even in the state, are somewhat left of center on the issue of same-sex marriage, despite having years of Republican rule both in city hall and in Albany. And so, I think the legal provisions here give a blueprint for gay rights activists in other states and in New York to fight harder for civil unions, for marriages in general, and beyond that, for the governor.
The gay rights community in New York is very powerful, and they're large in number, and so for him, this allows him to establish a broader base politically, because he comes in being sort of a political insider, a long-time state legislator, and so this gives him another constituency that he can use for his reelection. So I think, for him, he doesn't risk much at this point at all
CHIDEYA: Cynthia, if you had to give his gubernatorial run so far a grade - you know, he's worked on everything from pardoning Slick Rick to the gay marriage issue to working on whether or not nooses should be illegal - how do you think he's doing so far?
Ms. HARDY: I think he's kind of bold. I'd give him a B. I really would, especially, you know, given the fact that he did the Slick Rick thing, I mean, a number of - when you look at the Second Chance Act that Congressman Clyburn helped to sponsor in Congress, and you know, what it's supposed to do. I like the fact that he's bold enough to do what he thinks needs to be done. He's been very open about his own life, you know, so that to get some of that political baggage at least put to the sides so that he can deal with issues. I kind of liked the boldness about what he's doing, so I'd give him a B.
CHIDEYA: All right. You're a tough grader, girl. All right, guys. Thank you so much.
Ms. HARDY: Thank you.
Mr. DADE: Thank you.
CHIDEYA: We've been speaking with Cynthia Pryor Hardy. She's the host of the radio program, "On Point with Cynthia Hardy," which airs in Columbia, South Carolina.

Windows Service
As a matter of fact Microsoft Windows services, formerly known as NT services enable you to create long-running executable applications that run in its own Windows session, which then has the ability to start automatically when the computer boots and also can be manually paused, stopped or even restarted.
This makes services ideal for use on a server or whenever you need long-running functionality that does not interfere with other users who are working on the same computer. You can also run services in the security context of a specific user account that is different from the logged-on user or the default computer account.
Windows services don't have any interface to the user, so it can not be debugged like any regular application, but it's debugged as a process. .NET has a very nice tool that enables processes debugging while it's in the run status, by easily pressing Ctrl + Alt + P shortcut.
The difference between services and other programs is that they run in the background and don't have a user interface you can click or tap on. They are intended to provide core operating system features such as Web serving, event logging, file serving, printing or error reporting.

Music, drama and art are a vital part of school life, but are at risk of being squeezed out of education, a leading headmaster is warning.
There is now an "overly utilitarian" view of education, obsessed with economic value and results, according to Michael Windsor, of Reading Blue Coat School.
He suggests that independent schools instil a love of creativity in pupils, suggesting that the batch of privately-educated British actors nominated for Oscars this year benefited not from an "old school tie network" but from an environment that places a high value on the arts.
Mr Windsor will make the comments in a speech to the Society of Heads conference on Monday.
The headmaster, who is chairman of the society, argues that the creative arts are "an area of particular strength" in the organisation's schools.
"I only really feel that all is well at school if I can hear the sound of musicians rehearsing, a drama performance under way, or if I can wander into the art or design departments and see pupils lost in their work," he says.
Mr Windsor will add: "The commitment to art, design, music, drama and dance is there to be seen in our schools but on a national scale, the creative arts do risk being squeezed out by an overly utilitarian vision of education; one that focuses excessively on the economic value that each product of schooling might contribute, as well as a particular focus on easily measurable outcomes, in an environment where money is tight and spending priorities have to be identified carefully.
"Much has been made of the fact that a high proportion of recent British Oscar nominees attended independent schools. I am not convinced that the old school tie network operates in the arts, nor do I necessarily think that the individuals in question benefited unduly from the fine facilities that they enjoyed.
"I do think though, that they will have benefited from an environment where a high value is placed on the arts both within and outside the curriculum, where passionate and dedicated teachers have the time and space to instil a love of creativity in their pupils."
This year the battle for the leading actor Oscar saw Old Etonian Eddie Redmayne pitted against Harrow-educated Benedict Cumberbatch, a race won by Redmayne.
Mr Windsor will also use his speech to argue that teachers now spend much more time considering what to teach and how to do it, but that students often simply want to know what they need to get through an exam or win a university place.
"Teachers think much more carefully about how to actually teach; about the structure of a lesson; about how they can engage students and encourage them to think independently.
"This is not always easy, partly because students, and dare I say it, especially adolescent learners, are often keen to find the line of least resistance."
Mr Windsor says that in one case, he spent an hour coaching a student who was going for an interview to read German at university.
"He had read some Kafka and we spent what I thought had been a rewarding hour or so talking about his reading while I probed his understanding and we discussed his ideas. At the end of our hour, my student said: 'Yeah, thanks for all that, but can you just give me the line on Kafka?"
A Department of Education spokesman said: "As part of our plan for education we are ensuring all pupils experience a broad and balanced curriculum which will prepare them for life in modern Britain – the arts are a key part of this.
"We are clear that arts education should be every bit as rigorous as the rest of the school curriculum, and we have strengthened the national curriculum in these subjects and reformed the music and art GCSEs and A-levels to make sure this is the case.
"For 2015-16, we are providing £109 million to support music, art and cultural education projects – an increase of £17m from last year – allowing thousands more pupils to benefit from a wide range of enriching activities."

By C.N. Staff Writer
On July 1st of this year, student loan interest rates on the federal subsidized Stafford and Stafford Plus loans doubled. They doubled from 3.4% to 6.5% because Congressional leaders failed to act on the one-year extension they instituted last summer, after President Obama persisted to keep interest rates low.
Loans issued before July 1, 2013 will come with 3.4 percent interest, which is locked in for the life of the loan. That means that where a student with a $10,000 subsidized Stafford loan would accrue about $.93 in interest each day at the current rate, but any new loan issue on or after July 1, 2013 that will jump to $1.86 in interest each day.
The one-year extension expired June 30th of this year and and July 1st the rate hike affected an estimated 7.4 million students, who obtained new student loans. In the weeks that followed, amid public outcry, a bipartisan deal seemed to be in the making. The Congressional Budge Office (CBO) created a package that would cost roughly $22 billion over the next 10 years and sent the package to the Senate, however Senate leaders thought the costs were too high and are now awaiting new negotiations from CBO.
Obama wants student loan interest rates to vary from year to year depending on market conditions, some Democrats want to extend the current 3.4 percent interest rate for a year or two to give Congress a chance to reform the law that deals with federal student loans and some Republicans have also called for varying interest rates based on the market, but Unlike Obama's plan, the Republican plan would not offer better rates for subsidized loans than unsubsidized loans. Also unlike the president's proposal, the rate would not be locked in over the life of the loan. It would vary, although it could be fixed after graduation.
For each year that Congress does not act and rates revert to 6.8 percent, students would pay an extra $1,000 through repayment over the life of their loans. Federal subsidized loans typically have much lower rates and far more flexibility in terms of forgiveness and consolidation than loans from private companies. In statements, both House Education Committee chair Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) and ranking member Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) said they'd prefer not to see rates simply jump back to 6.8 percent, but didn't offer specifics as to how they'd like to achieve that.
Yet the rise in college tuition, which has increased dramatically over the past 30 years, is not being addressed. In 1980, tuition, room, and board for a full-time undergraduate at a public university averaged $5,939 when adjusted for inflation, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. In 2010, those costs averaged $13,297, an increase of 124 percent in 30 years, the center reports.
While students are paying more, public universities have been getting less from state governments that have been slashing their own budgets. "The cost per student has actually remained relatively flat," says Jeff Lieberson, vice president of public affairs for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities. "For public institutions, the real difference has been a decline in state support."

MOBILE, Ala. — A former Alabama judge was cleared Monday of charges that he spanked and sexually abused male inmates.
Former Mobile County Circuit Judge Herman Thomas was found not guilty on seven counts after more than a week of testimony. Judge Claud Neilson threw out the remaining 14 charges.
Thomas wept and hugged his wife and supporters after the judge threw out the remaining charges. He left court without comment. As he left, one supporter threw her hands in the air and shouted, "Thank you Jesus." Other supporters gathered in a circle to pray.
Defense attorneys had painted the 48-year-old as a prominent civic leader who became a victim of felons who lied about him to manipulate the court system.
Prosecutors said Thomas brought 11 young male inmates to a private courthouse office and severely paddled their bare bottoms for sexual gratification. Some of the inmates testified they had sexual contact with the judge.
Defense attorney Jeff Deen said Neilson's decision to toss the remaining charges was not surprising because the jurors had acquitted Thomas on every charge where they could reach a .unanimous decision.
Deen said Thomas' next goal is to regain his law license, which has been suspended by the Alabama State Bar. That could take months, Deen said.
District Attorney John Tyson said, "We are extremely disappointed. We worked very hard in this case and we did what we thought was the right thing." He said it was a difficult case because young men with criminal records were testifying against a well-known community leader, and the jury verdict reflected that.
"We went with the people we had," he said.
Carol Meeks of Mobile, a Thomas supporter who sat through the three-week trial, said she agreed with defense attorneys that Thomas was targeted by lying felons.
"He's a very good man and he's done a lot for this community. We need more people like him who look out for young people in our community," she said.
The jury of seven women and five men heard seven days of testimony before beginning deliberations late Thursday afternoon over charges of sex abuse, second-degree assault, sodomy and attempted sodomy.
Before the trial, prosecutors indicated that other inmates had been spanked, but were not included in the charges against the judge. Tyson said he has no plans to try to bring additional charges involving other young inmates.
Judge Neilson said he threw out charges of second-degree assault because the assault must be committed with a dangerous weapon or instrument. "The use of a paddle or belt in this case is not a dangerous weapon," he said.
He said prosecutors lacked evidence to support the sex abuse and attempted sodomy charges.
Early in the trial, Neilson told prosecutors he did not think they had brought the correct charges. When he threw out the remaining assault charges Monday, he said he probably should have dismissed them before sending the case to the jury, but he felt the jury should review them.
During closing arguments, prosecutor Nicki Patterson portrayed Thomas as a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" figure who carefully crafted an image as a mentor to troubled youth, while secretly paddling and sexually abusing young inmates for pleasure.
Defense attorney Robert "Cowboy Bob" Clark described Thomas as the victim of lying felons.
"He ain't no pervert," Clark told the jury in closing arguments.
Thomas was a Mobile County judge for 17 years, so popular that Alabama's top Democrats once recommended him to become the first black federal judge in south Alabama. He was one of the most well known men in Mobile, serving as trustee of two colleges, frequently speaking to church and youth groups and organizing mentoring programs for young people.
He resigned his judgeship in 2007 after a state judicial panel accused him of unethical conduct. A grand jury indicted him in the spring on felony charges accusing him of severely paddling and sexually abusing young men who appeared before him in court.
Some of the men testified he picked them up at jail, took them to a private office in the courthouse and gave them the choice of going back to jail or going free by taking a paddling with their pants and underwear down. They said they complied and took several strikes from the judge.
Some men testified they turned around during the paddlings to see the judge sexually aroused or exposed. One testified the judge made him masturbate, and a forensic scientist reported finding the man's semen on the judge's carpet. Another former inmate said the judge tried to force him to have oral sex.
The defense presented a Roman Catholic archbishop, a youth minister and two school principals who described Thomas' many hours of youth work.
"For that good deed, he gets a 103-count indictment," Clark said.
Those 103 counts were reduced by four-fifths before the case went to the jury because the prosecution dropped charges involving four of the 15 men named in the indictment and the judge threw out all extortion, kidnapping and ethics charges.

The Colorado Rockies look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Rockies have scored 13 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in seven of their last 10 games. The Rockies have lost six of their last seven games when scoring three or less runs. DJ LeMahieu leads Colorado with 96 hits and 35 RBI while Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado have combined for 105 RBI. The Colorado Rockies have won seven of their last 10 home games. Chad Bettis takes the hill, and he's 4-4 with a 4.95 ERA and 52 strikeouts this season. Bettis is 0-1 with a 12.00 ERA and one strikeout in his career against the Braves.

Old Man Winter put up a good fight this weekend, keeping the Durham Elmo's locked up all day Saturday and Sunday, to our dismay. Thanks to helping hands from some intrepid employees, some sunshine, and some salt and sand, we were able to get out to the store today and start getting things cleaned up and ready for Monday.
We will be opening Monday morning at 9:00am, unless there are any unforeseen delays. We will be on-site early to start prepping food and assessing the safety of our parking lot and walkways. If there is anything amiss that keeps us from opening promptly at 9:00am, we will open as close to that as we can.
Thank you all for hanging with us, and apologies to those who ventured out and found us closed. Running a restaurant is a group effort, and in ensuring the safety of our whole group, we focused on giving you 100% on Monday instead of 20 or 30% today. We have a bunch of stir-crazy folks who are ready to and anxious to serve our customers, and we look forward to seeing everyone!

VANOC CEO John Furlong has challenged the CBC public affairs show, The Fifth Estate, to post, uncut, its 90-minute interview with him over the program's probe into the death one year ago of Olympic Georgian luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili.
Under fire this week after an email he wrote in 2009 concerning possible injuries on the track surfaced as part of the CBC investigation, Mr. Furlong issued his challenge at an otherwise celebratory event to mark the first anniversary of the 2010 Winter Games.
Critics have suggested that Mr. Furlong should have done more to ensure the track was safe, given his reference in the email to an athlete possibly getting "badly injured or worse", and there have been numerous tough attacks on him in the media.
Mr. Kumaritashvili died during a training run, just hours before the Games began, when he lost control of his sled and was tossed against a metal support pole above the swift track.
Mr. Furlong, the featured speaker at a packed Vancouver Board of Trade luncheon on Friday, noted The Fifth Estate had interviewed him for an hour and a half on the matter. "I would be very happy if they would put that entire interview on the air....Then I think people would see that [these allegations]are not fair".
The Fifth Estate was to air the results of its months-long investigation on Friday night.
Defending his actions, the VANOC chief has said his email was designed to seek re-assurances that everything was being done that should be done to make the high-speed luge track safe. The answer he got back was that VANOC needed to do nothing more than it was already doing, i.e. working under the direction of the International Luge Federation to make all necessary adjustments.
Later, he told reporters that VANOC's team had worked "flat out" with both international sports federations who have jurisdiction over track conditions to prepare it for Olympic competition. "The day the track opened, it was declared safe by every single person responsible for it."
At the outset of his speech on Friday,, an emotional Mr. Furlong admitted that the past week had been "very difficult, waking up every morning seeing the papers and TV, hearing people say things that bite at your heart and your soul and your integrity....I'm still not sure what exactly has happened here."
Mr. Furlong received prolonged standing ovations both before and after his lengthy address reviewing the Games' high and low points.
Saturday has been set aside as a day of renewed celebration of the 2010 Winter Olympics, with many downtown streets closed off on the anniversary of the Games' first day.
