Forget the familial nods in acceptance speeches, the 2011 Academy Awards went parental! This year, all eyes were on the nominees, but their mothers were put to task...on-camera and on Twitter! The producers of the show asked moms to share their experiences with the public. How closely did you follow their segments and tweets?
Guess Which Oscar Mominee Said or Tweeted This?
Which mominee tweeted, "We have ridiculously good seats in center section."?

So if you have some spare time for a beer or to visit the city/region, let me know.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I took part to meetings in Montréal which is a great way to discover the city and its inhabitants, and intend to do the same here in Munich. In 2014 I hitchiked from Montréal to Vancouver, using Couchsurfing a lot.
I did some events in Montréal (mainly Pub trivia and Mundo Linguo). Last summer I surfed across north America on my way to Vancouver, it was awesome!

If you guessed Gestational Diabetes you are correct! I'm adding it to the list with my subchorionic hemorrhage and anemia. At least all of my ailments make for a good pregnancy series. I mean how boring would it be if I was healthy?
But in all seriousness, for those of you who have never been pregnant or are on your first pregnancy, it's a process to even get diagnosed. I first went and took a "One Hour Glucose Test." It's simple, they give you a sugary drink and then test your blood an hour later. I obviously failed. Then you move onto a "Three Hour Glucose Test." Not going to lie, it wasn't fun. For this test they have you fast for 12 hours, then they test your blood. After those results are back you get a sugary drink that is twice as sugary as in the one hour test. They test your blood every hour for three hours. I failed everyone of my glucose tests.
So that is how I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I sort of figured I had it, because my vision would frequently go blurry. My OB/GYN Dr. Robert Aepli says Gestational Diabetes is a metabolic problem during pregnancy where the body is not producing enough insulin to control glucose metabolism. It is a temporary problem, that doesn't greatly impact the pregnancy. It's often handled with diet, but in some cases oral medication or insulin is needed.
To treat my Gestational Diabetes I will be meeting with a dietician to work out a new diet plan to help balance my glucose levels. Also, I will have to use a glucometer to test my blood three times a week. Dr. Aepli says I should expect to have one to three more ultrasounds so they can keep a close eye on the baby's growth. Also, I may have to have a non-stress test, which will measure the baby's heartbeat.
In all, it looks like I'll be having a lot more tests. Tune into the WHIZ News at 6 o'clock on Friday to see what tests the majority of pregnant women will encounter.

The Trust supervises all core functions (finance, human resources, premises, compliance and risk) for all the companies. The board is informed by the Executive Director, the Director of Finance and Corporate Services and two sub-committees:
• Finance, Premises and Personnel
• Audit
The Governing Bodies of both St Mary Magdalene Academy and The Courtyard are represented on the Trust.
The St Mary Magdalene Academy Governing Body supervises the work of the Primary School and the Secondary School. The Governing Body is informed by the Headteacher of the Primary School, the Headteacher of the Secondary School, and two sub-committees:

Anyone else have this slow flow of ideas problem or is it just me?
Anyway, apologies for this random and odd post, I'm just sort of thinking out loud.
Less cryptic than that is the pretty spiffy news that 'MY robot!' has found another home, better yet I've been asked to expand it, and as I had an idea that sort of fitted alongside it (not after, sorry, he's really not coming back) I decided to go with that.
Better get thinking.

Astrodog... Any help?

Yay! I'm not the only Astrodog fan out here.
Seriously though. I have a similar problem although for me it's more like ideas that pop into my head but don't seem to go anywhere.
- 12:37 pm
- paulhd said...
I'm sort of worried you and Danny are going to tie me up and force me to do an Astrodog book.
Not sure Astrodog's right for this for a couple of reasons Danny, but I am thinking about it.
Promise you both though, something Astro will happen, I don't like to waste any of the few ideas I have.
The ideas not going anywhere is a problem, and one I've had too. I think it's because I don't work on them, pull them apart, put them back together, see what's good or bad etc. I just tend to shrug and go 'nah', which is not helpful really.

- I. N. J. Culbard said...
Do you feel you have trouble coming up with stuff, or do you come up with stuff all the time it's just you never feel like there's anything from the ideas you get that you'd like to follow through? (My money's on the latter because I think you've got great ideas, and they have to come from somewhere).
I sometimes use oblique strategies just to get the old brain thinking sometimes. They're these cards that make suggestions like for example
"question the heroic"
"the easily forgotten thing is the most important".
random stuff like that, just to get you thinking outside the box.
Only I have them as a widget for my mac and I recently discovered that that's what Alan Moore uses just to come up with ideas (I only ever use them once I've got the initial idea or something's been running a while). I find they're especially useful if you've got an idea but you think its been done before (which can often see an idea to the rejection pile). A random 'hey how about this' can really change the nature of what you're doing.
Another thing to do is take false start projects, projects that you had an idea for but you never did anything with for whatever reason, maybe you didn't feel it had legs, and marry it with another rejected idea to make one brand new and usually quite unique idea.
Remember the Inspiration perspiration ratio. The inspiration part is all the hard work. Someone asks you 'what you doing?' and you say 'thinking' they're likely to say 'well could you stop that and help me do this' like stop wasting time and do something practical. sometimes when you're working on your own time on stuff you may feel like sitting there thinking is actually wasting time and you want to rush to see results because you don't feel you've got time to waste etc. So the answer there is pretty simple; stop and think. I'm still "thinking" about ideas from 20 years ago.
Great news about My Robot. Cool:)

INJ - RE: 'MY robot!' Cheers. I'm starting to see this comic as a bit of a breakthrough for me, it's certainly the best recieved thing I've done.
Ideas? I suffer both the things you mention, the ideas don't come that often, and annoyingly the best ones just seem to appear seemingly at random. Not always following through or seeing the value in my ideas is a definite problem. Originality makes it difficult, I have a tendency to not explore an idea because on the surface it seems similar to something else. Astrodog suffers from this, but I am wondering if it matters, interpretation of an idea/concept sets work apart from other seemingly similar work.
Interesting what you say about 'thinking', this is the bit that my family (and recent events have meant my family are here quite a lot) doesn't seem to get and I often find myself being pulled away from the thought work because it looks like I'm doing nothing, Bill Watterston said to the untrained eye it looks a lot like goofing off.
Alan Moore has interesting ideas about...uh, ideas. He reckons, quite analytically, that they come from the place where knowledge meets personality, and I think that's very true. I'd say my own ideas have always been inspired by reading or seeing things, whether it's another creator's work, a news report or just something from my day to day life, and then filtering through my own personality.
Did Moore get the oblique strategies from Brian Eno? I'm sure I recall hearing about them, and I know he's a fan. The Mac widget sounds cool, where did you find it?
Cheers for you thoughts on this, it's helpful.

Something else you might want to check out is Freemind. It's a software designed for pulling ideas together. If you have an idea for a story it allows you to make a kind of flow chart of all the ideas connected to it, linking in websites, images, notes and probably music and video clips as well. I'm using it for research on my Western story at the moment and it's proving absolutely invaluable to pull together scanned scraps of notes, typed thoughts, images of horses and locations, historical research to ground the story in and scribbled images. you can keep as many maps as you want going so you can note down the germ of a story and keep adding to it until you have enough to work from confidently with a whole story. It might be worth a look. Just google Freemind and you should end up at a wikipedia page. That'll explain it better.

The widgets can be found here:
There are several solutions to family and how to not seem like you're goofing off. Get a bike. Or a dog. Walking boots. It seems that as long as you're mobile while you're thinking that's okay. It's not goofing off. Dickens used to walk 10/20 miles a night to see all the sights of London, his inspiration for his work.
As for not exploring ideas because they sound like something else, can you name anything that sounds unlike anything else? I bet its a small list if you can make a list at all. Like more says, knowledge and personality. It's not the idea, it's your take on it.
Try taking two ideas of yours that you've shelved because you thought they were too like something you'd seen somewhere else or whatever and marry them together.

WatchGuard Technologies Protects More Than 15,000 Media Attendees at the Tokyo Motor Show
For the fourth consecutive show, images, video and content will be protected from security threats
Nov 27, 2013, 11:00 ET from WatchGuard Technologies, Inc.
SEATTLE, Nov. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchGuard® Technologies, a leader in integrated security platforms, today announced that it is the official Unified Threat Management solution provider to the forty-third Tokyo Motor Show, which will draw approximately 840,000 visitors. The event, occurring November 23 through December 1 in Tokyo, brings more than 15,000 members of the media to report on experimental technologies and concept vehicles. The cadre of international journalists relies on a safe and secure connection to transmit terabytes of images, video and insights into the future of automotive technology.
This is the fourth consecutive year that WatchGuard has installed a suite of products from WatchGuard's UTM platform to provide robust bandwidth as well as secure connections for the media-only network. WatchGuard's hardware on site is capable of providing 35GB/second to more than 20,000 users and 2.5 million concurrent sessions, as well as the ability to fight the blended threats that can hamper connectivity at large-scale events.
"The concentration of connections and the amount of data being sent makes an environment like this a robust target for cyber criminals," said Corey Nachreiner, WatchGuard's director of security strategy. "Being able to monitor not only network performance, but also be able to identify any potential treats as they occur is vital to the stable experience the media expects. WatchGuard allows users to simply focus on going about their business and not worry about cyber attacks. But of course, users of any open network should take extra precautions to ensure their data is safe."
The show has consistently chosen WatchGuard appliances and UTM because of its ease of implementation and the quality, reliability and performance of the network. This year, the show is utilizing WatchGuard Dimension, a network security visibility solution. WatchGuard will be providing real-time analysis and data logs to the show's IT staff to ensure the users are continuously protected. WatchGuard Dimension provides network administrators a suite of visibility and reporting tools that distill logs of data into actionable security issues and trends, enabling network administrators to quickly develop the best security policies and protect users in real time. The show is able to isolate any potential viruses, drive-by download threats or even dead drops from USB drives.
"Offering this level of protection for such a prestigious event is a monumental task — one that WatchGuard is well equipped to handle," said Masato Negishi, WatchGuard Japan's country manager. "The increase in blended threats is especially challenging for multimedia professionals thanks to the change in the way journalists work. We were able to quickly implement the WatchGuard platform and enable the world's media to upload stories and file reports. I am confident that with WatchGuard Dimension monitoring the network in real time is informative for the network administrator."

Unanswered: What is the difference between su and su - ?
I have a problem with su and su - command. Basically when I su <username>, my program works fine. If I use su - <username>, I can login without problem but when I run dbaccess (command to access database utility in informix), it gave the following errors:
"The type of terminal is unknown to the system"
FYI, I didn't get this error when I login using su <username> (without the -) and excute dbaccess command. I would appreciate if you can enlighten me. I just wonder where went wrong. Thank in advance.

su - also runs the .profile etc for the user you become, whereas su without - keeps the environment as it is set for he user you where...
So in this case the terminal type set in the .profile for whomever you become is wrong. Change it to the same as is set for yourself and you should be able to use the su -

Memphis (May Edition)
by Keith.
I visited Memphis last week. Going to Memphis last weekend wasn't my plan until about a week before I went because I was originally supposed to go to Japan with my church… but it didn't work out. I had an amazing trip, nonetheless.
The best part about the trip to Memphis was being able to be there for my girlfriend's graduation. She graduated with a master's degree in Urban Education. She is doing the Memphis Teacher Residency, which is an amazing program full of amazing people. I'm so incredibly proud of Amanda. We've known each other for about 5 years and have only recently come to date. When we met, she was just a freshman, and I, a goofy junior. I have seen her grow so incredibly much and really blossom into an amazing woman of God. Seeing her take on the Memphis Teacher Residency and talking to her about it – her difficulties and joys – has all been such a blessing. I have so much respect for her. I am so very blessed that she has let me into her life.
Here is a visual recap.

NY Good Questions: Do I Need a Rug?
Hello AT,
I have worked hard on my scrappy Brooklyn 1 bedroom that I bought in late 2006 and moved into early last year.
My question is do I really need a rug?
And if so I am so lost on what type of rug to purchase.
Thanks! Chris

Download Festival 2017 is just around the corner, it has come round so fast this year, it only seems like yesterday that I was booking the tickets getting excited for some of the bands that had been announced at the time, now that we only have 8 days to go I thought it would be awesome to share what my perfect weekend would look like and which bands I am excited to see.
Tag: live music
Wasted Fate @ The Tivoli May 27th 2017
Wasted Fate took to the stage on Saturday supporting A Foreigners Journey at The Tivoli venue, It was an amazing night they even pulled out a cover of Stone Broken's Wait For You and everyone knew the words, it was amazing. I was there to take some pictures, enjoy.
Stone Broken @ The Tivoli 20th May 2017
Back to The Tivoli last night, this time to see an upcoming band that I hadn't seen before, Stone Broken, they are on the Download Festival bill and with them playing a show so close to home I wanted to see them in a more intimate venue.
I got there early, so much so I got to see the two support acts, arriving early certainly paid off, getting a spot right on the barrier. This band didn't disappoint, the atmosphere in the Tivoli was electric playing songs from 'All In Time' their current album but also treating us to a number of new tracks off their forthcoming album, the crowd singing along to almost every single song it was a fantastic evening.
If you haven't seen Stone Broken yet and they are playing somewhere close to home, get down and see them, you won't be disappointed. I didn't take my camera but got some pictures on my phone which are below.
Iron Maiden – Book Of Souls 2017
Yesterday evening marked the very first time I would ever see Iron Maiden, I had been told that the show was absolutely fantastic, friends had been before, some of them many times, I had heard story's of how I was going to be blown away but I wasn't sure what to expect.
I had seen Shinedown previously at an appearance at Download Festival but not Iron Maiden, I walked away from the show absolutely buzzing, it was everything everyone had said it would be, the atmosphere, the set itself everything was just amazing, I am not sure that I will ever get to see them again but if you do have a chance to it is well worth it.
I took some pictures too….

Bad Medicine billed to support Guns 2 Roses at The Tivoli Venue Buckley and I had the pleasure of capturing this monumental event for the guys, the show opened with the amazing 'Runaway' followed by hit after hit.
The venue was packed to the rafters with supporters, the atmosphere was electric Jase and the guys of Bad Medicine put on an amazing show, one that you should most definitely get out to see if they are in your area in the future.
Here are some of the pictures I captured;
Billy No Band Mates @ The Stanton Chirk
Billy No Band Mates played The Stanton In Chirk last night, I hadn't seen this act before but had seen Kev Williams as he plays guitar for Bad Medicine, there were plenty of popular songs from bands like Muse, Faith No More, Ozzy Osbourne and more with plenty of audience participation – I was there to take some photos and here is what I captured.
Crossfire @ Saith Seren
The first gig of many in 2017 was certainly one not to be missed, the incredible Crossfire were billed to play Saith Seren in Wrexham. Having seen them on the closing gig of 2016 in the freezing cold and knowing the show they put on as a band, I made my way over to the venue to experience and capture the gig in person, as expected they didn't disappoint, playing a mixture of modern day pop songs in their own unique style and some classic rock songs from greats such as AC/DC it was definitely a gig not to be missed.
Here are some of the images I captured from that gig.

Mirror for a Hero Trailer (1987)
13 December 1987 Fantasy, Drama, Sci-Fi 139 mins
Two not quite similar men, our contemporaries, Sergey Pshenichny and Andrew Nemchinov, are walking in the street in their native mining town and found themselves in 1949. It's a common knowledge that real miracles happen without technical devices: time comes miracle happens. They spend in 1949 only one day the next morning they found that it is the same day that was yesterday. All several months, they spent in the past, they spent in one and the same day: the 8th of May, Sunday, the day of heightened coal production. In the morning to the coal mine, in an hour an accident in a coalface, at 10 o'clock wire from the Ministry, after work reunion concerning the Stalins anniversary; robbing of pay desk, death of policeman Ryabenko, in the evening - volunteer Sunday work… and in the morning the same, and so for ever and ever Philosophic fiction, accompanied by music of group Nautilus Pompillius. After a novel of S.Rybasa of the same name.

Pension Benefits Have Grown Faster in Public Sector than Private
May 9, 2011
As debates heat up in states across the country over budget shortfalls, more and more focus is being placed upon the runaway growth in health and pension benefits for state and local government workers. These excessive benefits are a major factor behind the exploding costs of government in many states. It is time to bring these costs under control before they completely overwhelm state and local budgets, say Andrew G. Atkeson and William E. Simon, Jr., professors at the University of California at Los Angeles, and James E. Piereson, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
- The pension benefits paid out to retirees by state and local governments have more than doubled from 11.1 percent of payroll in 1990 to 23.8 percent of payroll in 2009.
- By contrast, pension payouts in private industry grew only from 6.1 percent of payroll in 1990 to 9.8 percent in 2009.
The growth in state and local pension payouts relative to current payroll has been driven by steady increases in the generosity of pension agreements rather than by the aging of the state and local government workforce.
- In 1993, retirement benefits paid out to state and local government retirees averaged $10,812 per year per beneficiary nationwide, or 35 percent of the $30,870 in wages and salaries paid out to the average full time employee.
- By 2008, average retirement benefits per public retiree had grown to $23,225, or 45 percent of the $52,058 in wages and salaries paid out to the average employee.
The pattern is clear: pension and health benefits have grown much faster in the public than in the private sector, regardless of budget shortfalls. The solution is to make the negotiating process more transparent and to apply some of the approaches that have worked successfully in the private sector to control costs and to maintain the solvency of retirement programs, say Atkeson, Simon and Piereson.

My People
You may recall that the other time I wrote to you, I informed you about the mundane moves by the immediate past Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam to jump bail shortly after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, apprehended him and dragged him to the Federal High Court, Abuja, for diverting to his pocket, over N3 billion being proceeds from the sale of the state's shares in Dangote Cement.
You may also recall that Gabriel Suswam had vehemently and repeatedly denied that the shares had been sold. Recall too that Suswam's travel papers were seized for a long time and only given to him recently to enable him travel abroad for "medical attention".
Now, I wish to inform you that Suswam has not given up his plan to escape the impending jail term he is likely to face when convicted by the court. His lawyers have told him that he has a bad case and this has been giving Anyiin-born politician sleepless nights. I guess you heard about his meeting yesterday with some PDP members. What you might not have heard yet is that the black cat came in another guise to bid goodbye to his close associates. Where he plans to run to? I will keep you in touch on that soon.
My inner sources have confided in me that Gabriel Suswam has vowed never to allow the humiliation of being convicted and handed the prison inmates' uniform. He has told some members of his inner circle of friends that he will rather die fighting than sit down to be trapped like a rat. Suswam plans to do the unthinkable! I won't give you all the details now so as not to jeopardise the job of my informants.
The case comes up tomorrow and I am hoping that the issue of non-availability of an interpreter won't delay the case as it happened the last time the matter came up.
Suswam has to go to jail even if for just one day, for committing abominable financial crimes against Benue State.
I will be back.
Yours in truth,
Achagh Hyande

The mission of YouthQuest is to provide youth with engaging after school experiences to excel, excite, and explore! The program typically operates three hours per day, Monday – Thursday, typically between 2:30-7 PM.
We are looking for vendors (persons or organizations that provide a paid service at any YouthQuest site) who will help us to accomplish this mission by aligning safe, engaging and exciting learning experiences with our core program objectives:

Can We Find Balance in an Accelerating iWorld?
by Joseph Drumheller
It's official. Electricity has finally taken over.
iThis, eThat, social hysteria, video, text, blog, apps, chat, drones, robots. Who thought ten years ago that if you walked down a busy urban sidewalk, nearly everyone would be looking down at some rectangular illuminated universe. Does anyone even look up from their 'smart' phones anymore? Apparently, the Millennial that rear-ended my neighbor in an intersection a few days ago didn't.

Tips on how to handle difficult people
In this blog post, I will give you a few techniques for dealing with difficult people. I have gotten a few of my tips from this link. I have found it to be very helpful lately. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinkruse/2013/06/25/dealing-with-difficult-people/#1fe5e0216329
Some people will try to drag you down. It may be difficult to avoid this type of person especially if they mean a lot to you. If someone is trying to bring you down, don't tune them out. If they think that you aren't listening to them, they will try to be more forceful with their argument or rant. Try to put yourself in their shoes. If you can think like them, you might be able to understand what is upsetting them and help them out. Continue reading and add your comment
I think, to gain true equality, men and women need to work together. I believe that if men and women can work together, they will get a lot more work done. A woman will think of the plan that she wants to execute and the man will go through with the plan. If we could do that, we would have more solutions to problems and hopefully resolve the problem.
A couple of things that I hope Clinton will change is equal pay for equal experience. Not equal pay for equal work. One thing that I am sure will change is more women will believe that they can run for more powerful positions in the government.
Clinton has had experience in the White House and knows how the role of President works. She is also Secretary of State so she knows how the government works.
I do not believe that we need feminism. I believe that we need to learn not to put each other down simply because we don't agree with the others views. People need to see that men don't rule the world, nor do women.
While it is true that some men do not view women as their equals; do we really need a specific movement that is for women? No, we don't. We need a movement that is specifically for equality. If we can do this, then I believe that the world will be a better place.
Feminism: 20th Century
During World War II America saw 2.2 million women go into the work force to support their families as the men went overseas. The women worked on planes, in factories, and at the shipyards. Some 350,000 women served in the U.S. Armed Forces, both at home and abroad. They included the Women's Airforce Service Pilots, who on March 10, 2010, were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
One of the greatest inspirations during World War II for women was Rosie the Riveter. The made-up character had a poster of her showing off her biceps and saying "We Can Do It."
After the war was over the men returned and took the jobs Continue reading and add your comment
Feminism: Then
The reason I am writing this article is because (as I'm sure you have heard) Hilary Clinton was nominated by the Democratic party to run for president. She would be the first female president. It would be one of the greatest accomplishments in feminism history. Even if she does not become president, her nomination is still a great accomplishment.
In this article I want to look at the history of women's power and women's rights. It has varied a lot over the years.
Let's begin in Egypt, where women sometimes ran everything. Continue reading and add your comment
Transgender Bathroom
Lately there have been a lot of articles on "Transgender bathrooms". Personally, I don't care if I share a bathroom with someone who used to be a man or someone who is currently going through the process of changing genders. These are people. How would you feel if someone told you "you can't use the bathroom that you identify as." I imagine most of you would feel uncomfortable and weird about it. That is exactly (I'm guessing) how the Transgender people feel.
These transgender folks are human. They are just like you, the only difference is they did not feel comfortable in the body they were born in. They didn't feel like they fit in. Transgender people are sons or daughters. They have families, they have friends. They have a soul, a heart, dreams, wishes. They are (As i said before) just like you.
There are downsides to the whole thing. Some people can claim to be transgender and decide to go into the female or male bathroom and spy on you. Another concern is they will be harassed. I strongly urge you not to. That is just wrong and it's horrible. Put yourselves in their shoes.
Transgender people already deal with a lot of bull crap, they don't need to deal with anymore crap that people throw at them. Be kind and respect their life decisions. They respect yours.
Thanks for reading.
This has been a large debate for many years but for the past couple of months, people are making it into a bigger deal than it actually is. A dress code is there for a reason. They are not meant to oppress anyone! Yes, boys get away with it more often than girls, but boys are not wearing short shorts that practically reveal parts of you that should only be seen by yourself. If you follow the dress code then you will not be sent home and "miss school because of "unfair treatment"". Seriously people! Follow the dress code. It is there to keep you modest.
My old high school and middle school kept extra clothes in case there was a student who was not following the dress code. The student would have to put on an oversized shirt or sweatpants (They were always returned and put in a dirty basket then washed every other day) and then sent back to class. They would miss 5 minutes at most. If your school does not do this, maybe the student body can suggest this and then students won't miss class.
The bottom line? Don't be dumb and just follow the damn dress code!

Former First Lady and founder of the National Democratic Party (NDP) Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings has said Ghana can only develop if ruling parties follow laid down procedures for governance.
"If we want to develop we must adhere strictly to polices that help in the development of the country".
Speaking on Adom FMs 'Dwaso Nswem, the former First Lady said President Mahama's decision to seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reveals the inability of the government to properly govern the country, adding that "countries only seek assistance from the IMF when they are collapsing.
She said that even though it is a normal thing for countries to seek assistance from the monetary institution, the assistance received should put the country in a position where they are able to take care of themselves afterwards.
"We will keep going back if we do not restructure ourselves after we have been supported by the IMF".
She spoke against the numerous taxes government has imposed on the people saying, "no country develops by excessive taxation. Productivity will drop".
She says governments must ensure that its citizens are comfortable but if people in the country cannot afford one meal daily then the quality of governance is questionable.
In answering questions as to whether she had rejoined the National Democratic Congress (NDC), she said the reasons for which she decided to leave the NDC has not changed and that she stands her grounds as a member of the NDP.
The Republic Newspaper reported that the first lady who broke away from the NDC was being approached by top members in the party and are lobbying for her return to the party.
However the former first lady has said "I am not leaving the NDP for NDC".
Bribery and corruption, disrespect and destruction of works at the grassroots influenced her decision to leave the party, she said, adding that no party can thrive on untruthfulness.
She said that the NDP is making efforts in order for it to be duly represented at the 2016 presidential elections but was unable to tell if she will be the flag bearer.

I just tried out Zeke's this afternoon. It's on P Street, between 20th and 21st, in the old tangysweet space. (They also serve tangysweet yogurt.)
They had an interesting selection of around 6 flavors, all dough (not cake): one coffee, one salted caramel, one lemon curd, one mango, one triple chocolate-ish, one Mexican chocolate-ish, and the Ferrero Rocher which I had. Quite a knockout: large donut, filled with white chocolate and hazelnut cream, and a chocolate hazelnut glaze. Yowza. That's a quality donut.
I look forward to returning, as well as checking out the new donuts and fried chicken place that will soon be opening in the old Yola space.


text: Here is the thing: I love this forum, and Android. I like, but don't love the X. I have been waiting for THE Verizon phone since January. I am trying to wait until the holidays to buy a new phone (Gingerbread, Front cams, dual core, etc). But, I really need a phone now... my current one is dead! So what is a guy to do???? I wanted to post my solution (mods, please move if needed): Like I said... I like the X... just not enough to be committed to a 1 or 2 year contract with it. I HAVE TO get a new phone NOW. Here is what I did. I stop by Costco, buy a Samsung Vibrant for $250 out the door (comes with a bunch of extras)... and the best part... NO CONTRACT. I own the phone outright for that price. $250 is a sweet deal for this phone without contract. Now I do have to deal with Tmobile for about 4 or 5 months... but coverage in my town is good and the reps are cool. And down the line... in about 5 months, when the phone I really want pops for Verizon, I will simply sell the Vibrant (might break even... might make money), and get the next sweet android phone. Again, no contract! Sweet and speedy android. AMAZING screen. Very cheap temporary solution. Best wishes, I will stay in touch with this forum b/c I am a verizon guy in the long term. Happy hunting Droid lovers. - Doon

Family Vacation GOLD in Jamaica! Apr 09, 2008
I can't begin to tell you how amazing this place was for me & my son. A nanny comes with your room!!! She cleans it and fills it with food and drink and best of all if you want to do something on your own she watches the kids!!! From 9am till 4:40pm she plays with your kids and takes care of them. If you elect to go somewhere in the eve she will watch them for an additional $4/hr. You just can't beat it! That was the first really unique part... second...scuba lessons are free! If you are there for a week you can actually get certified. There are basically 3 sit down restaurants & a grill. The bar is open at 10 and closes when the last person goes to bed. They know how to make pretty much every drink and if they don't they will find out. The food was decent but for an American I'm use to very flavorful foods...which isn't necessarily Jamaican style. The other issue is they do have to cater towards kids most of the time so it can't be too spicy. However there are 2 adult restaurants that are open in the evening and they were pretty good. The resort beaches aren't that great but you can access a public beach right next door that's beautiful and not at all far. I'm telling you if you have kids..no matter what age this is the place for you! There were teens having a blast, adults, toddlers, grandparents....this place is for all ages! My son is 9 and he actually got to scuba dive in the main pool with a one on one scuba instructor...FOR FREE! They taught me how to scuba in 2 hrs and took me out in the ocean the same day. It was CRAZY!!! They have snorkeling trips, glass bottom boats, water trampoline, wind surfing, sailing, and so much more with the all inclusive fee. Honestly I can't believe there aren't more all inclusive resorts with Nannies and this many activities....this place has totally hit the jackpot! I will be back with in the next year...it was THAT worth it!

Founders of a new business typically realize early on that they need to conduct the business through a legal entity to limit their personal liabilities for the debts and obligations the business generates. Often, the three entity types from which the founders must choose are the "C" corporation, the "S" corporation and the limited liability company (or "LLC"). While all three entity types insulate the founders from personal liability, the differences among the three types for tax purposes are substantial. A C corporation, on the one hand, reports and pays tax on its income separately from its owners. The income or loss of an S corporation or LLC, on the other hand, generally is reported by the owners on their personal returns. The choice, therefore, is often tax-driven and requires an analysis of how the founders expect to grow and profit from the business.

Adam Jones couldn't deliver with the bases loaded in the first inning, but he just slammed a ball off the foul pole in left field to break a scoreless tie and give the Orioles a 3-0 lead.
Andy Sonnanstine, whose ultimate goal is to reach 100 pitches before the fourth inning, tried to tempt Jones with another breaking ball.
It worked. Jones jumped all over it.
Ty Wigginton singled and Luke Scott walked before Jones came to the plate, giving the Orioles seven baserunners in two-plus innings. They haven't all gone to waste.
That's 17 home runs for Jones, who's 21-for-52 with eight extra-base hits in 14 games since July 31.
The Orioles are 26-25 when they score first, 15-50 when they don't.

Parent Testimonials
We just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how happy we are with Foundations. Even before we enrolled, and ever since then, we have enjoyed the frequent and open communication we have had with the owners, staff, and teachers. This level of communication ensures we are always up to date with how our child is doing and anything else which may be going on. Dropping our daughter off at Foundation feels very much like leaving our child with a trusted friend or family member. We have also been extremely impressed by how much she has learned. She is already writing better than most children in her peer group, and continues to advance in areas outside of even those we do not work on at home. We attribute this to the teachers and staff at Foundation. At home, she is always excitedly telling us what she did at "school" and how much fun she had. Thank you for providing such a warm, loving, and educational experience for our daughter and our family.
David O.
Our daughter has been a student at Foundations since the school opened and we are beyond impressed with their level of care and professionalism. Our daughter is engaged with new activities and learning lessons every day and comes home eager to share with us. Foundations has created an atmosphere where kids are able to be themselves and blossom while being in a structured setting. There is always someone there to answer our questions or give us updates on our daughter. She is not just a little face in a crowded room, she is truly treated as part of a family. The extracurricular activities offered provide a safe and time saving way for busy parents to introduce their kids to new things. Most of all, she loves it there!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England in the great wave of migration from Normandy following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Dartez family lived in Devon, near the river Dart, from which the surname derives.
Dartez Early Origins

Dartez Spelling Variations
Dartez Spelling Variations
Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, Norman French and other languages became incorporated into English throughout the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Dartez include Dart, Darte, Darth and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Dartezs to arrive on North American shores: Ambrose Dart settled in Boston, Massachusetts about the year 1640; and Richard Dart settled in New London in the year 1664; Jane Dart settled in Bermuda in 1635.

She's back! More than 10 years after JoJo topped the charts with her hit singles "Leave (Get Out)" and "Baby It's You," the R&B singer has made her grand return.
The early 2000s favorite, now 24, debuted her first new song in years on Wednesday, April 15. While she gave it little promotion, "Far From Heaven" made its way online and counted thousands of plays in its first few hours.
The sultry single has the songstress crooning, "So far from heaven with nowhere to run / Should've seen it coming, but we followed the sun / Far from perfect in this universe / No use fixing the things that never work / So far from heaven / So far from heaven."
JoJo, who dropped her first studio album at just 13 years old, hasn't released an official original single since 2011's "Disaster." The aptly titled track was expected to introduce the singer's third album, which never saw the light of day.
The "Too Little Too Late" performer was in an ugly battle with her record label Blackground for years, but finally reached a settlement after filing a lawsuit in New York for her release from the contract. Earlier this year, the Los Angeles Times broke the news that JoJo had found a new future in Atlantic Records.
The artist, who released her High Road sophomore album in 2006 and an EP of covers called #LoveJo in February 2014, is expected to finally debut her third album in the coming months. Take a listen to "Far From Heaven" above!

Rejuvenated coastal storm will linger for days with rain and wind for Mid-Atlantic
The eleventh named tropical cyclone in the Atlantic fell short of becoming a hurricane, then wallowed in the Gulf while weakening. Now, Karen has taken on a new identity, transformed into a coastal low currently visiting the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Before we delve into the specifics of ex-Karen's interesting impacts on the Mid-Atlantic, let's discuss the various fates of a hurricane or tropical storm once it moves out of the tropics and into mid-latitudes. We will also briefly define what is meant by a coastal low.
The post-tropical phase of hurricanes: Storms with an identity crisis
The National Hurricane Center defines a hurricane as post-tropical when its tropical characteristics have been lost; namely, the eye has vanished, the eyewall fragments or disintegrates, the wind field expands, and there is no longer a well-defined radius of maximum winds.
Post-tropical systems can dissipate further, or they can combine with pre-existing weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as a frontal boundary or an upper level trough in the jet stream.
If the remnant vortex begins assuming the characteristics of an extratropical cyclone i.e. it acquires a frontal wave-like structure (warm front, cold front), an asymmetric rain shield, and a central core of cold (as opposed to warm) air, we describe this evolution as an extratropical transition.
Some infamous examples of extratropical transition in the Mid-Atlantic include Hazel (1954), Camille (1969), Agnes (1972) and Floyd (1999). Each of these storms, incidentally, were highly destructive, producing heavy rainfall and/or sustained high winds, sometimes well inland and days after landfall.
The inland phase sometimes reaches destructive proportions because extratropical transition provides the remnant tropical system with additional sources of energy. These sources include vigorous, sustained uplift ahead of a jet stream trough, or strong temperature contrasts along a frontal zone. Inland, post-tropical systems can even re-intensify, a process called rejuvenation.
So how would we describe Tropical Storm Karen's transition to an extratropical, coastal low, now slowly crawling northward along the Delmarva? Karen's remnant vortex and tropical moisture combined with a strong cold front. The cold front was part of the same extratropical cyclone that created the blizzard over South Dakota, the violent tornado outbreak across Nebraska, and the extensive squall line along the East Coast.
The coastal low is now part Karen and part Atlas (Atlas is the name bestowed upon the extratropical cyclone by The Weather Channel).
What is a coastal low?
Coastal lows are a flavor of extratropical cyclone, in which part of most of the circulation resides over Atlantic or Gulf waters. There are several facets that distinguish coastal storms from their inland cousins.
First, the nature of the hazards is such that high winds blowing over a long fetch of water raise potentially enormous waves, creating a flood risk and high storm tide. Beach erosion and damage to beach structures can be as widespread and costly as that wrought by a hurricane.
Related: A "nor'easter," a "northeaster," a northeast storm, or does it even matter?
Second, in addition to the energy generated by strong temperature (frontal) contrasts, coastal lows derive a significant fraction of their energy by extracting heat and moisture from the Atlantic's warm Gulf Stream current.
Third, coastal lows are primarily creatures of the cool (winter) months. During this time, temperature contrasts are maximized, the jet stream aloft is intense and dynamic, and the oceanic Gulf Stream remains quite warm in spite of the cooling sea surface. Intense coastal lows are termed Nor'easters. These powerful storms produce sustained northeasterly gales (up to hurricane force), a prolonged and damaging storm tide, and (sometimes) heavy snow.
Impacts of this week's coastal low on the Mid-Atlantic
1. Lots of cloud cover, cool and humid conditions will prevail. A combination of the coastal low to our east and high pressure parked over New England will usher in a moist, cool onshore flow, at least through Friday morning. Thanks to high pressure nosing down the Piedmont from New England, there is a hint of cool air damming this morning – building a shallow wedge of cool air buttressed against the Appalachians. This will only enhance the thick overcast and may contribute to our area's rain totals.
2. A gradient of significant rainfall will span the region. The nature of the rainfall will be stratiform – that is, light to moderate, widespread, falling from thick layers of cloud, rather than deep convective cloud (think heavy showers, thunderstorms) in nature. But the rain is expected to be heavier closer to the low, meaning coastal regions and the Eastern Shore will likely see greater rain totals. Periods of rain will chill the air further; temperatures may not climb out of the mid-upper 50s for some portions of the area.
Because the system will meander off the Delmarva for several days, rain totals could add up along the Eastern Shore – providing the proverbial "soaking rain" that so much of our region needs. This is why the official NWS forecast reflects periods of rain all the way through Saturday.
3. This will be a stubborn pattern taking a few days to clear out. The storm is cut off from the polar jet stream, adrift within a sprawling ridge of upper atmospheric high pressure. Such orphaned or cutoff lows can frequently stall, and even retrograde (move toward the west). Strong high pressure over the western North Atlantic will retard northward progress.
4. This will not be a potent Nor'easter. The storm, while stubborn, does not have much jet stream support – in other words, it does not sit beneath a trough that can ventilate the system, add impetus to rising air and rapidly "bomb out" the system.
Yes, the rain could be heavy at times; the rain will add up to a few inches along the coast; the winds from the northeast will be stiff; high waves will lash at beaches, leading to some erosion and potential flooding. Flooding is probable since this storm will persist across multiple high tide cycles. But this storm won't likely become a monster.
What could go wrong with this forecast? If the storm sits for long enough time over the warm Gulf Stream, it could tap enough energy to deepen more significantly, even lacking jet stream support. The models generally do not portray this scenario.
How about "Karen Reincarnated", becoming…once again…an intensifying tropical system? Not likely; thunderstorms would really have to begin firing near the core…and even if this were the case, the resulting, more intense storm would be a "hybrid" rather than a pure tropical system.

NEW York law firm Dewey Ballantine has paid tribute to its London founding partner Rupert Simpson, who died of leukaemia last month.
Simpson, 43, started as an associate in the firm's corporate department in 1986 and was made up to partner three years later.
In 1990 he relocated to London to build an office with Deweys' European associates Theodore Goddard. He worked in the UK for three years as managing partner of European operations.
Deweys' management committee co-chair Everett Jassy said: "He was a wonderfully up person who would make anyone he was speaking to feel good. He was very brave and courageous to the end."
Born in Chicago, Simpson was educated at Harvard and the University of Chicago as well as Oxford University.
He recently became chair of Deweys' new business development committee, a post he held until his death on 22 November.
Theodore Goddard senior partner Stuart May said Simpson was a "great Anglophile" who was "very much at the heart of building our successful relationship with Dewey Ballantine".
"He was extremely popular with partners and staff here. He was regarded very affectionately."
