-- -- and -- blacks at some really neat solutions for this and some award winning solutions I'm here with John tell me a little bit more about it John.
Area and there's so I noticed right away a couple of them what they've caught my eye is a solar powered iPhone case this is something -- would -- so many.
You know for -- people that just wanna put the phone down and don't have a court nearby tell me about it.
Essentially -- here is case that's been integrated with 14100 million batteries fell in layman's terms.
-- the case it's gonna contain 80% more.
You're iphones battery essentially the battery with an iPhone four for -- is going to be about 14130.
Five million powers and what this is is a 14100 million batteries are what you get is you know 180% of your charge times if you go home at night.
You know the way you.
The chargers that it's -- in fully charged to -- indicates to replenish your phone's battery whenever you need the power.
Not only doesn't have the -- function to recharge the battery -- the case but it also.
Gives you the power to use it when you need it it's.
And also you guys have some solar panels here as well how is -- is practical for some bigger -- should home charging solutions.
This is -- true solar product I mean by that is this is devices.
And able to to charge anything through USB it's been regulated down -- -- So what you do it essentially does -- give -- -- charge but just as quickly as it has been plugged into a -- out.
There's just as quickly how long we'll take charge.
I didn't think about it now have to charts and iPhone four for -- which is about.
Pretty much what it takes now to -- -- out of a wall that's practice -- how much solar power do you need can you do this by the ambient light in an office or do you -- it outside in the sun life.
How this works best under.
Natural sunlight it's not really meant to be charged underneath.
You know now they're a -- indoor ambient light but got the demonstration purposes.
No we we brought in a ball that -- one son and as you can -- -- -- we'll start charging devices.
You know underneath.
The indoor lighting.
We've been under indoor lighting.
You can give you gadgets charts we're looking at the future folks.
I want this right now my iPhone 5 how -- -- -- iPhone 5 comes out.

Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY - Contending that benefits for Long Island members of the National Guard and Reserves who are called into military service lag far behind those for active military, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer Monday announced new sweeping legislation to close the benefits gap. The announcement came at a press conference at Hofstra University, which Schumer said he selected because of its strong ROTC program.

Under the current system, Schumer said, a reservist who attends school and participates in fulltime training receives only a $297/month stipend while active duty soldiers receive $1097/month. Schumer also said that while 18% of disability claims by members of the National Guard and Reserves are denied, only 8% of active duty claims are denied and called for an immediate federal investigation into the disparity.
"Long Island residents who join the National Guard and Reserves and serve overseas are every bit as brave and sacrifice every bit as much as active military members, and thus ought to be treated fairly, no questions asked," Schumer said. "With the Guard and Reserves already stretched nearly to the breaking point during this holiday season, the current two-tiered system needs to be leveled immediately. We cannot and must not shortchange these heroes."

Schumer's bill would double the education benefit for members of the reserve component to $600/month; ensure that members of the Guard and Reserve can receive medical treatment close to home; and reimburse members of the reserve component for travel costs. Schumer also wrote to Veteran's Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson asking him to direct the Department of Veteran's Affairs Inspector General to immediately investigate why reserve component claims are denied at such a greater rate than active military.
Schumer spoke at Veterans Plaza at Hofstra University, home of the Thundering Pride ROTC Battalion which has been on campus since 1951. There are currently 85 cadets in the battalion including students from other local colleges that are allowed to enroll. Among those joining Schumer for the announcement was Lt. Col. William Abb, the head of Hofstra's ROTC program, along with several of his cadets and officers from the program.

I turn on my brothers ps3.. i pick his user ( the only one on the ps3 ) i then go over to 'PlayStation Network' and it says 'Sign In' .. So i use my online ID and sign in because he hasnt put his online ID in yet ( because its new and he hasnt got round to it ) . But heres the point !
I need to change the ID from mine to his! and of yet i havent been able to do so. Which is stupid if u ask me because whats the point in being able to change your email address in the sign in section, if you cant sign in on with somebody elses ID. Can i delete my ID so that he can use his ID or is it completely set to my ID now ? It gave me no warning that this wouldnt be changable in the future !
Can anyone help ?! ....

on 21-07-2009 07:49 PM
If i remember correctly if you go all the way to the left hand side of the XMB (PS3 main menu) there should be a option to create new user, create a new user with your name then after its set up go to the right hand side of the XMB to the network section, click on create PSN ID then sign/log in with existing account.
It may not be exact as above though but that should be the general stuff

As far as I'm aware you should just be able to remove the details on your brothers user, type his back in and set to remember log in details i think.
on 21-07-2009 08:11 PM
nope ,, i have just tried again in it says "the sign-in ID (email address) or password is incorrect."

I'd assume that's a mistake inputting the log in details then rather than it not being able to do it full stop,sorry i cant be of anymore help mate.

Milton scored the game's first seven points and never looked back, snapping Navarre's modest three-game basketball winning streak with a 43-33 district win Friday on the Lady Raiders' home court.
"We didn't play well, we didn't shoot well, we didn't defend well, we didn't do a lot of things well," Navarre coach Greg Boozer said after the game. "I'm disappointed for the girls, especially our seniors. They deserved a better result."
Navarre High School recognized seniors Lydia Brunet, Kaitlyn Johnson, Natasha Page, Jessica Reyes and Hannah Worden, who were playing their last home games as Lady Raiders. (PHOTO: Hannah Worden tries to pass the ball in to Nadia Fingall while Lydia Brunet cuts down the lane from the opposite side of the lane.)
Foul trouble disrupted the Raiders' normal substitution pattern and Navarre's players struggled to find any offensive rhythm.
"We don't play great from behind anyway," Boozer said.
Freshman Nadia Fingall made the first basket of the second half to pull Navarre within a point, 15-14, but the Panthers scored 10 straight to reclaim a comfortable cushion. The Raiders couldn't get closer than six points the rest of the way.
Fingall and classmate De'Naizha Elder led Navarre with seven points each and Worden added six on a pair of three-pointers.
Tianna Novacic led all scorers with 13 points and Ashley Johnson added 11 for Milton.
The Lady Raiders were scheduled to play at Niceville on Tuesday and will end their regular season tonight, Thursday Jan. 24, at Gulf Breeze. The junior varsity girls will play at 4:30 p.m., to be followed by the varsity girls at 6 p.m. The district tournament is scheduled Jan. 28-Feb. 2 at Pace.
Navarre 41, Escambia 32
Kiera Foster converted a traditional three-point play and Hannah Worden calmly made a pair of free throws in the final 61 seconds to thwart a desperate Gator rally and help Navarre seal its third-straight win, 41-32.
Escambia trailed by as many as 11 points in the fourth quarter but clawed their way to within five points, 34-29, with just more than two minutes left to play. The Raiders' defense, which had held the Gators scoreless for more than nine minutes in the first half to help Navarre build its lead, settled in and neither team scored until Foster was pushed making a layup with 1:01 left. She made the free throw to give the Raiders a comfortable 37-29 lead and, on Navarre's next possession, Worden was fouled and swished both charities. Nadia Fingal and Jessica Reyes each made free throws in the final seconds.
Fingall led all scorers with 14 points and Worden was the only other player to score in double-digits with 11.
Fans wore heavy winter coats and huddled under blankets at Escambia's Norman G. Ross Gymnasium. Custodians started the cooling system earlier in the week, when temperatures were unseasonably warm, but couldn't get the air conditioners to stop after a mid-week cold spell.
Navarre 45, Gulf Breeze 23
Shelby Kesinger scored all nine of her points – three breakaway layups and a three-pointer – in the decisive third quarter of the Raiders' 45-23 win against visiting rival Gulf Breeze on Jan. 15.
Both teams struggled to score in the first half, but Navarre's press and crisp passing created several easy baskets in the third quarter, when the Raiders stretched their lead from four points at halftime to 16 after three quarters. Six-foot two freshman Nadia Fingall scored eight of her game-high 16 points in the final period. Navarre also made five three-pointers, two by Hannah Worden, in a balanced offensive attack.
Shelby Pliska led the Dolphins with 10 points.

A "time capsule" from 1.8 million years ago, located in Dmanisi, Georgia, shows variations among five human skulls from that period that suggest long-debated distinctions about early human development may be overblown.
The differences between the skulls were no more than that seen in modern humans, according to a report Thursday in the journal Science. The findings suggest there may have been only one species of early human in a key period of time when they first began to migrate out of Africa, said David Lordkipanidze, an anthropologist at the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi and the report's author.
The analysis drew immediate criticism from scientists who said other members of the hominid family - Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and Homo rudolfensis - were identified using more than just their skulls. Lordkipanidze said the Dmanisi artifacts offer the earliest known representation outside of Africa of human development after the migration.
"Dmanisi has a uniqueness: it's a real snapshot in time, a time capsule from 1.8 million years ago," he said phone call with reporters.
The site, which sits below the ruins of the medieval town of Dmanisi, in the Mashavera River Valley, was discovered in 1983, when archaeologists studying the medieval town noticed bones of species they knew were extinct. In 1984, ancient stone tools were found there.
One of the five skulls found at the site recently had a small braincase, a long face, and large teeth, features never before seen together, according to the paper in Science. It was discovered with four other crania from the same place and time.
The skull has "a strange combination of features we didn't see before in early Homo," said Marcia S. Ponce de León, a report co-author, of the Anthropological Institute and Museum in Zurich, in a call with reporters. Its location with other contemporary skulls allows the researchers to compare them to each other, she said.
The jaw of the skull was found first, in 2000, and the rest of the skull was found in 2005. Its braincase is "unexpectedly small," said Ponce de Leon, measuring only 33.3 cubic inches (546 cubic centimeters). Modern humans have an average brain volume of about 76 cubic inches (1,250 cubic centimeters).
Given that the population of individuals showed no greater range of variation than that of 5 humans or bonobos, the researchers proposed that early Homo individuals may not represent three species, but one.
"The variation within the samples from Africa is no more than our variation within homo erectus," said Christoph Zollikofer from the Anthropological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, a co-author on the Science report. "We're pretty sure that the variation is within a single species, and we're calling it homo erectus."
Other anthropologists urge caution, saying the differences in cranial shapes may not reflect changes in other bones.
Bernard Wood, a professor of human origins at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. said he was convinced all the skulls from the site belonged to the same group. However, he didn't agree with the group's larger generalization.
"They look at this overall cranial shape and say, 'If you look at Homo habilis and erectus, there isn't much more difference," Wood said by telephone. "You can't infer the latter from the former."
The reason why Homo habilis and Homo erectus are viewed as distinct isn't just the cranial shape, Wood said. Changes in the wrists and ankles, as well as in leg bones, took place at that time. Merging the classes doesn't make sense even if they share cranial shapes, he said.
The finding likely won't change expert's views on species diversity, where two groups are heavily entrenched said William Harcourt-Smith, an assistant professor at Lehman College and a research associate in the American Museum of Natural History's Division of Paleontology.
Some, nicknamed "splitters," see the tree of evolution as having many species. Others, called "lumpers," see wider species categories and fewer limbs on the tree.
"To be honest it just adds some important fuel to the debate," Harcourt-Smith wrote in an e-mail. "The lumpers, of course, will love this new paper, but I can see splitters saying that there is too much variation in both the African early Homo and Dmanisi sample for them to all be Homo erectus."

Editor's note: The Science Seat is a feature in which CNN Light Years sits down with movers and shakers from many different areas of scientific exploration. This is the first installment.
Jason Kalirai is the deputy project scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be NASA's next big mission in astrophysics. He works at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.
Last month, Kalirai, 34, won the American Astronomical Society's Newton Lacy Pierce Prize for his achievements in observational astronomy. CNN Light Years recently spoke with him about his work. Below is an edited transcript.
CNN: What inspired you to pursue a degree in science?
Jason Kalirai: As far back as I can remember, I was curious about the way things work. I'm sure I got this trait from my father, whom my friends actually nicknamed "MacGyver" when we were growing up. He enjoyed questioning how things operate and then trying to solve everyday problems through experimentation.
When I was in elementary school, I was fascinated by the night sky, and I wanted to understand the scale of the universe -- how big it was, how separated the stars were, what else was out there? I started reading books about the Milky Way galaxy and the universe, put posters of our solar neighborhood in my room and kept asking the question "why." Science not only provided me with the answers to these grand questions, but it opened up new mysteries that I was motivated to learn about.
CNN: What are five steps through which an astronomer solves a problem?
Kalirai: Astronomical research has many components to it. Astronomers are well-rounded and excel at problem-solving, data acquisition and analysis, writing reports and presenting results. Solving a single problem can take many years through this cycle:
In the first step of the process, astronomers design an experiment to solve a particular problem that they are interested in. Usually, this involves writing a proposal to use a telescope to gain new insights on the universe.
Next, astronomers obtain the observations. For ground-based astronomy, this typically means traveling to a mountaintop and collecting data, whereas for space-based observations the data are sent directly to the astronomer.
Scientists then analyze the observations using powerful computers, usually in their own offices. They also spend time writing computer programs to aid in the analysis. New discoveries are rare, so it takes very careful attention to details in the data.
Astronomers publish (their) results in peer-reviewed journals, so they have to write detailed reports of all of their findings. These reports are judged by other astronomers to make sure they are based on sound principles.
Finally, astronomers present their findings to the science community through domestic and international meetings.
CNN: What kind of astronomer do you consider yourself?
Kalirai: My focus is on observational astronomy, and I'm particularly passionate about using telescopes to push beyond the limits of what we've already seen. I try to discover new population of stars in our Milky Way galaxy and try to reveal new parts of galaxies in the nearby universe. Whenever I can get access to a new capability or technology in astronomy (e.g., a more sensitive camera), I like to take that tool and apply it to the kind of science problems that I most enjoy working on.
CNN: Why do you focus on star clusters?
Kalirai: Star clusters are one of the universe's most remarkable environments. In a small region of space that is not too much larger than the distance between the sun and the nearest few stars to the sun, a cluster contains thousands of stars. These stars share incredible similarities, all having formed at the same time millions of years ago and with the same chemistry. The only difference between the individual stars is their mass, and mass happens to be the primary factor that controls how stars evolve (e.g., how long they live for, how bright they become and how they die).
So, observations of each individual star cluster give us a snapshot of how stellar evolution has shaped a population with that age, and we can complete a picture of stellar evolution by observing many clusters with different ages. As a result, star clusters anchor much of our knowledge of the universe.
CNN: How exactly do stars evolve over time?
Kalirai: We are used to thinking of the stars as fixed points in the night sky, but they actually go through a life cycle, just like humans. Newborn stars are very active and energetic, kind of like my twins. Stars in their middle years are kind of boring (dare I say, like our parents), and can spend billions of years not doing much other than converting hydrogen into helium. Toward the end of their lives, stars become "cool" again, kind of like grandparents are "cool." The lifetimes of stars are so much longer than human lifetimes that we see them as being fixed over generations. But they all evolve from stellar birth to stellar death.
CNN: What is the main goal of your research program?
Kalirai: The main goal of my research is to understand the details of how stars like our sun, including those that are a little more and a little less massive, change over time. For billions of years, these stars will remain at the same brightness and temperature. This is great for humans on Earth since it gives us a stable climate. After the hydrogen in the sun is exhausted, the sun will become a stellar cinder and simply cool over time. We call this state, the end state of 98% of all stars, white dwarfs.
All of the action in stellar evolution occurs between these two phases, when, over a relatively short time scale, stars swell up into "giants" and spill their outer materials into space. The detailed understanding of this process, of how stars dramatically change, is fundamentally important to many research areas in astronomy. After all, the light that we see from distant galaxies is really just millions of individual stars at the tip of their luminous evolution.
CNN: If the sun will experience this dramatic change, what is the fate of our planet Earth?
Kalirai: The Earth is orbiting the sun at a distance of about 90 million miles. When the sun runs out of hydrogen in its core, it will begin burning hydrogen in a shell around the core and become very luminous and bloated. The outer layers of the sun will actually reach the Earth, and so the oceans will evaporate and our planet will be fried. Sorry! Fortunately for us, this won't happen for several billions of years.

Raising funds to support the philanthropic mission of any non-profit organization can be a time consuming chore often fraught with trial and error. While splashy one-off fundraisers (otherwise known as 'episodic funding') can generate a large chunk of charitable change they can also consume much needed resources for months on end. At the other end of the spectrum, 'ongoing' fundraising tactics, while easier to execute, oftentimes don't generate the required financial rewards.

'Main Street' has now become a generic term synonymous with U.S. small business in general. But for many entrepreneurs, the prospect of joining Main Street in its more literal meaning - i.e. the primary retail street of a village or town - still holds an enormous amount of appeal as a business venture. Given the right amount of market research, business planning, and financial support, starting a retail business (and joining the more than 24 million people who earn a living this way) can offer many rewards to the right kind of entrepreneur....

Whatever your product or service, and whatever the market - whether it be federal, state or local government - winning a share of government business can be a complex and time-consuming process. And no matter how lucrative government contracting can be, for many small business owners the prospect of contracting directly (called 'prime contracting') with a government agency is simply not within their capacity or scope. This is where government subcontracting comes into play. As a small business, your best bet for winning a government...

Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky were in London last night at the premiere of Rush. There was a lot of…attachment. Here's the brilliance of Elsa Pataky though: you've already seen her playing princess in a pretend-castle (click here Full Story
The Blonde Hemsworths
Since I don't track Elsa Pataky the way she wants me to I'd no idea she cut off all her hair and, she wasn't blonde before, was she? For the purposes of this blog then, let's decide that she wasn't and that this is new. And it looks good the way her hair is flat against her head, the envy of Asians like me who cannot grow it like this, and not unlike Sienna Miller who wore it similarly when she had it short.

Forever newborn
Chris Hemsworth's daughter India is 8 weeks old. I know that's small. But I feel like even when she's 18 weeks old she'll still look this small in his arms. Like hamster-sized.

Post-apartheid Literature
Post-apartheid Literature
Prose, poetry, and dramas written by South African authors after the repeal of the nation's apartheid laws—rules governing the separation of black and white citizens—in 1990.
Post-apartheid literature comprises works written by South African authors, both black and white, in the last decade of the twentieth century and beyond. When the National Party took control of South Africa in 1948, the government enforced a strict code of racial segregation known as apartheid, which severely limited the freedoms of the nation's black citizens. The African National Congress (ANC) remained virulently opposed to apartheid and, after they were banned by the South African government in 1960, the ANC proposed establishing a military wing to combat their prejudicial treatment. In 1964 the president of the ANC, Nelson Mandela, was arrested for treason and sentenced to life imprisonment. During his incarceration, Mandela became the defining figure of the anti-apartheid movement, attracting international sympathy for his plight. Due to massive unemployment, a shrinking white minority, and international boycotts, the South African government began reassessing their apartheid policies during the late 1980s. In 1989 F. W. de Klerk was elected as the new South African president, promising a nonracist South Africa for the future. He lifted the country's ban of the ANC and released Mandela from prison in 1990. Together, Mandela and de Klerk negotiated the ending of South Africa's apartheid policies and drafted a new national constitution.
South Africa's literary community, including such authors as Nadine Gordimer, J. M. Coetzee, Athol Fugard, and Alan Paton, had been instrumental in bringing world attention to the legacy of colonialism and the unjust apartheid laws in their native country. The end of apartheid, however, ushered in a new transitional stage for South African authors. As author André Brink has commented, post-apartheid literature "can no longer slip so easily into the silences previously imposed by the government." Writers who were once content to address polemic political themes in their prose are now challenged to explore original subject material and envision a new future for South African culture. Such authors are also confronted with the difficult task of neither ignoring nor dwelling in South Africa's racially-charged past.
Though they are still concerned with political and racial issues in South African society, post-apartheid writers have focused on such contemporary issues as violence, crime, homosexuality, and the spread of the AIDS virus in continental Africa. Additionally, their works offer meditations on poverty and unemployment, Western-influenced materialism, the task of building a national identity, and sociocultural changes in the South African population. For example, Phaswane Mpe deals with AIDS and tribal migration in his novel Welcome to Our Hillbrow (2001), while K. Sello Duiker examines class struggles within the South African black community in his two novels, Thirteen Cents (2000) and The Quiet Violence of Dreams (2001). In Disgrace (1999), Coetzee's Booker Prize-winning novel, the author describes the personal crisis of a man whose life is problematized by South Africa's shifting cultural norms. Several South African poets—Breyten Breytenbach and Lesego Rampolokeng, among others—have utilized unique verse formats to convey the transitory stage of the post-apartheid era and the encroachment of modern life in traditional African society. The end of apartheid has also inspired a flowering of activity in other genres, including drama, short stories, biographies, and historical nonfiction.
As writers and artists return to South Africa, after seeking exile from apartheid, they have emphasized the difficulties of reestablishing their lives in a culture far different than the one they originally left. These figures have also noted a certain degree of tension between the older and younger generations of post-apartheid writers. Zakes Mda, for example, who spent thirty-two years living outside South Africa, has chronicled the struggle of both South African citizens and expatriates in adjusting to the wealth of social changes in post-apartheid society. While the history of racial injustice remains a strong theme in post-apartheid literature, critics have identified a growing trend toward more personal and universal narratives by post-apartheid writers. Critic Mbulelo Vizikhango Mzamane has asserted that, "[t]he move from protest to challenge to reconstruction in South Africa has been accompanied at the literary level by a shift from the literature of surface meaning—dependent entirely upon spectacular events—to the literature of interiority with its concern with introspection and the inner life." The post-apartheid environment has also inspired critical reexaminations and recontextualizations of several notable South African literary works, including Sol Plaatje's Mhudi: An Epic of Native Life a Hundred Years Ago (1930), Coetzee's July's People (1981), Fugard's Boesman and Lena (1969), Gordimer's Burger's Daughter (1979), and Mbongeni Ngema's Sarafina! (1986).

SOURCE: Brink, André. "Literature as Cultural Opposition." In Reinventing a Continent: Writing and Politics in South Africa, pp. 185-202. Cambridge, Mass.: Zoland Books, 1998.
[In the following essay, based on a lecture originally delivered in July 1993, Brink comments on the role of writers and literature in opposition to political and social realities in South Africa, both during and after the era of apartheid.]
Within the general framework of this seminar, Literature as a Political Force, I have been invited to focus more specifically on literature as a form of cultural opposition. In other words—and this is an important preliminary caution—politics remains the context, not only as the institution "against" which culture may find itself in opposition, but also as a driving force within culture itself. If this is not always evident in sophisticated Western democracies, the situation in what used to be the Third World and what is now more commonly referred to as the South, continues to foreground the way in which politics permeates and informs every choice and every action of civic and even of private life. A "political novel" in the US or in Europe is a very specific kind of novel (i.e. one which overtly interrogates—or promotes—a given ideological system or stance); in South Africa all novels, whether so intended by the author or not, are...

[In the following essay, Brink discusses how fiction plays a vital part in describing and interpreting the past in post-apartheid South Africa.]
"Our continent has just invented another," wrote Montaigne about the discovery of the New World. At the time, of course, to invent was a synonym for to discover; yet both readings of the word are relevant to a procedure which may well become, increasingly, a preoccupation of the literature produced in postapartheid South Africa. The need to revisit history has both accompanied and characterised the literature of most of the great "thresholds of change," as Kenneth Harrow has called them—those periods in which, as Santayana had it, "mankind starts dreaming in a different key." This need speaks as much from the inventive historiography of Herodotus as from the Icelandic sagas, the heroic epics of the Renaissance, the flowering of the historical novel in the wake of the French Revolution, the writings of early modernism (from Kristin Lavransdatter to Finnegans Wake), or the postmodernisms of our fin de siècle, which cover the spectrum from One Hundred Years of Solitude to The Satanic Verses,...

[In the following essay, Sole presents an overview of South African poetry since the end of apartheid in 1990, noting how contemporary South African poets "attempt to embrace and represent a world in transition."]
In the half a decade since 1990 a plethora of new South African art has become visible to the outside world, especially in such areas as the fine arts, music, theatre, and film. In recent written literature, however, there is less evidence of a revitalized consciousness seeking to confront the country's changed political and social circumstances than in these other forms of expression. When critics discuss the output of South African writers today, what is striking is the degree to which it is established literary figures—Gordimer, Coetzee, Ndebele, Brink—who are praised. Moreover, those new writing talents who have attracted attention, such as Behr and Vladislavić, have been primarily individuals working in the genre of fiction.
Yet there has been a fascinating, if quiet, upwelling of new expression in a genre to which little attention is usually given by literary commentators: poetry. Beginning a number of years before liberation, poets using oral and written means have started to emerge in South...

[In the following essay, Ruden explores some of the difficulties faced by black post-apartheid writers in their critical assessments by both Western scholars and past generations of South African authors.]
It is a frequent complaint in South African literary circles that the West is not giving black African literature a chance, because of racial prejudice. Given the adoption of white anti-apartheid writers into the Western canon, the neglect of black writers, both anti—and post-apartheid, is supposed to be a glaringly bigoted slight. As usual, claims about racism oversimplify. There are vast cultural differences that make black African authors—even the black authors writing in English in relatively cosmopolitan South Africa—hard for Americans and Europeans to appreciate. But the danger is that "cultural differences" will become the new cop-out. Critics should really fight this one. With a demography of the arts like the one that emerged during the late Roman Empire—original talent coming from everywhere but the political center—becoming clearer and clearer, there are reasons to bother about African literature. The cultural differences themselves are a reason; unlike anything conveyed by "multiculturalism" (a strange name for a...

[In the following essay, Lenta describes how the works of black women writers in post-apartheid South Africa have evolved from stories primarily told through an intermediary to stories told by the protagonists themselves.]
"For me, the question 'Who should speak?' is less crucial than 'Who will listen?'" says Gayatri Spivak, in a discussion of the rights of the oppressed to produce literary texts (59). Both questions are crucial for South Africa as a post-Apartheid country, where the rights and wrongs of "speaking for," as opposed to attending to the efforts of the oppressed to speak, have in the past been obscured by the insistence of the authorities that we listen only to members of our own group. In the 1990s, however, memories of the Apartheid era are fading fast, and charges of appropriation are being brought against South Africans who have imagined and represented the "voices" of other groups.
In 1992, the magazine Staffrider published a polemical piece by Desiree Lewis, in which she gives an account of a conference on "Women and Gender" held in January 1991, at the University of Natal. Lewis attacks the tendency, as she sees it, of white academics to establish...

[In the following essay, Gallagher offers a critical perspective on how several realist and historical South African novels written before the 1990s are being reinterpreted and recontextualized in the post-apartheid culture.]
Ever since Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (1961) initiated analysis of the dynamics of decolonization, the postcolonial historical period has been recognized as having crucial links with culture. Fanon argues that the transformative process by which a colony becomes a nation is accompanied by, informed by, and perhaps even prompted by significant changes in culture. According to Fanon, this process has three phases: in the first, during the course of a colonial denial and suppression of the indigenous past, the native intellectual assimilates the literary tradition of the colonial country without qualification (writing sonnets, for example); secondly, the native intellectual "decides to remember what he is," by looking to the past for indigenous forms and abandoned traditions (perhaps turning to tom-tom rhythms); finally, in "the fighting phase," the nationalistic phase, the poet will "become the mouthpiece of a new reality in action."1 This final phase is vague in Fanon's...

Mpe notes the influence of Mhudi on both pre- and post-apartheid South African literature.]
Besides being an allegorical indictment of the Natives' Land Act of 1913 as well as an interpretation of the history of South Africa in the early 1800s from a black perspective, Mhudi is also Sol Plaatje's endeavour to preserve Setswana oral traditions. This is done in a number of ways, one of which is the inclusion of some oral art forms in the novel. Another one is spelled out in his preface to the novel, namely to use financial profits from Mhudi "to collect and print (for Bantu Schools) Sechuana folk-tales, which, with the spread of European ideas, are fast being forgotten" (Plaatje 1978:21). His fear of the loss of the folktales also applies to proverbs. He states in an earlier book, Sechuana Proverbs with Literal Translations and Their European Equivalents, that "[w]ith the spread of European speech and thought in South Africa, these primitive saws are fast being forgotten" (Plaatje 1916:ix). The object...

[In the following essay, Heyns analyzes how white authors writing in the post-apartheid state deal with issues of culpability and their own roles in South Africa's history of oppression.]
On 4 July 1996, Mark Behr delivered the keynote address at a conference in Cape Town entitled "Faultlines—Inquiries around Truth and Reconciliation." Speaking of his own novel, The Smell of Apples, Behr said, "as an act of creation The Smell of Apples represents, for me, the beginnings of a showdown with myself for my own support of a system like apartheid. [… I]f the book's publication has assisted white people in coming to terms with their own culpability for what is wrong in South Africa, then it has been worthwhile" (1).
This formulation reveals, perhaps unintentionally, the ambivalence of what we might call confessional fiction, an ambivalence hinging on Behr's phrase "coming to terms with their own culpability." He means, presumably, confronting that culpability; but his phrase could equally mean accommodating, establishing a comfortable relationship with it.1 No doubt one's reading of Behr's statement is conditioned by the knowledge that he was about to confess to...

[In the following essay, Farred argues that Zakes Mda's Ways of Dying is "a flawed work" due to its focus on the transitory and loosely defined values of the post-apartheid era.]
What good can come of grief?
—Homer, The Odyssey
Despite their rehearsal of the gestures of resistance theatre, Mda's plays never subscribe to resistance theatre's central dogma, the vision of revolution that will transform utterly the lives of those audacious enough to prosecute it. In the spirit of the doubting anarchists he describes as his lasting influences, Mda leaves the stage with few positive commitments. With its thoroughgoing suspicion of systems of every sort, his drama comes closer to the theatre of the absurd than the theatre of commitment.
—Jan Gorak, "Nothing to Root For: Zakes Mda and South African Resistance Theatre"
Zakes Mda's first novel, Ways of Dying, is a flawed work that is, in part because of its shortcomings, symptomatic of the condition of postapartheid South Africa. Resonating with the rich uncertainty of the political transition from the...

[In the following essay, Chait explores the use of mythology in two novels by white South African authors—André Brink's Cape of Storms and Mike Nicol's Horseman—in terms of how each author deals with the question of collective guilt in the post-apartheid era.]
The transfer of political power from oppressor to oppressed inevitably brings in its wake the appropriation and reworking of mythological material. As new governments rewrite their people's history, so too do their novelists and poets recover and re-vision the cultural identity embedded in their people's myths. For erstwhile oppressors, however, the change in self-perception may take somewhat longer to materialize. Shock, sorrow, anger at the chaos of upheaval take precedence. Only then are such perpetrators of oppression able to confront their culpability and their authors plumb the mythological depths for signs and symptoms to explain what went wrong. In the case of white South African writers, however, the changeover to black rule has been gradual enough to have allowed a gestation period in which to ponder collective guilt and, as in Germany, to search the past for answers to that inevitable question, "How could it have happened?"

SOURCE: Mda, Zakes. "Theater and Reconciliation in South Africa." Theater 25, no. 3 (1995): 38-45.
[In the following essay, Mda examines the characteristics of South Africa's "theater of reconciliation," noting that to truly fulfill such a role, theater must neither ignore nor cling to the past.]
In South Africa, a society which has been, for centuries, characterized by racial segregation, political oppression, and economic exploitation, culture has always played a role both to reinforce these conditions and to challenge them. Here I shall attempt to show how the products of our culture, with particular emphasis on theater, have responded to these conditions, and how they can continue to play a meaningful role in the new order. In no way, however, am I trying to be prescriptive in my observations or assertions. Suggesting that the arts have a role to play in transformation does not mean censoring artistic freedom. Whether we like it or not, the artists will always respond to the prevailing political and social conditions because they select their material from society. They do not create their works about something that is divorced from their day to day reality. Politics is part of their intimate daily experience, and for better or for worse, politics will feature in their works.
When the predominant political culture in South Africa was that of resistance, the art that was...

SOURCE: Chapman, Michael. "The Black Theatre Model: Towards an Aesthetic of South African Theatre." In Southern African Literatures, pp. 360-68. London, England: Longman, 1996.
[In the following excerpt, Chapman traces the course of theater in South Africa from the 1960s through the 1990s, focusing on the works of Athol Fugard, Zakes Mda, and Mbongeni Ngema.]
An upsurge of black theatre in South Africa in the 1970s characterised political and cultural consciousness-raising and identified the Black Consciousness movement as a powerful source of resistance to apartheid. It was a theatre adaptable to both popular expression, as in the play Sarafina!, and to more self-consciously artistic treatment in the work of Zakes Mda and Athol Fugard, probably the two most literary playwrights to turn to their purpose what I call here the black theatre model.
The model is a hybrid. We may identify local elements of traditional African performance: oral storytelling and improvisation, a pattern of action suggesting the imagistic accretions of folk tale, rituals of ceremony, and the 'call and response' of actor and audience sharing experience, knowledge and aspirations. This is not tradition, however, in any antiquarian sense; rather tradition has to 'live' in the contemporary idiom. It rubs harshly against city experience; there are allusions to the soap-opera musical, radio...

[In the following essay, Morales evaluates the influence of politics on post-apartheid drama, noting that political issues afford both artistic opportunities and thematic limitations.]
In Esiaba Irobi's play, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh (1989), the Nigerian playwright turns the long-standing debate on Wole Soyinka's linguistic complexity into high comedy. The setting is an African Writers' convention at Ibadan's University Staff Club where Soyinka is on trial for "crimes" of "private obscurantism," and "gratuitous conundrums" (25). To underscore these charges, Irobi gives Soyinka, "Ogun" in the play, an interpreter to paraphrase his remarks for an attending audience of writers and scholars.1 However, in the midst of this comic debate, a South African woman proffers a sobering thought, "Do you think all this howling about elitist and traditional literature would arise if you were in South Africa? If you were suffering the abject negation of man" (44).
Such a literary debate and satiric play would seem improbable in South Africa—at least in the South Africa of apartheid. Apartheid...

A blacklight built into the frame illuminates drawings created with two included fluorescent markers, causing a butterfly's wings to scintillate or a flower's petals to shimmer. Drawings wipe off easily using the included eraser sponge. The easel's reverse side has a magnetic chalkboard; includes 12 colored chalks and a 41-piece magnetic letters set. A roll of paper at the top provides 30' of painting paper; a section is pulled down and secured with an integrated clamp. Includes 16 water color paints and two brushes. Requires four AA batteries.

Best Uses
We removed it from the box and popped the pieces together without even looking for instructions. My granddaughter (3 years old) absolutely loved it! Where can we purchase the paper rolls? The 30' roll is going fast!

The Wipe Off Art Easel
By Nancy
from Pennsylvania
Granddaughter loves it - at least she's now using this instead of the wall to write or color on. INSTRUCTIONS were non-existent. Didn't know how things went together which really would included the paper roll and where it went. Also, Design a method of holding it in place better.

I could really say more, but I'm gonna stop here.
I never did anything in house music, I'm just a big liar.
No working at Shelter, no Zanzibar, no Black Box, no Underground Dreams, no management for house groups, no house music parties in Union County and Essex County.
Never worked with or done business with these folks: Nick Jones, Hippie Torrales, Naeem Johnson, Dino Perrera, Tee Mallory, Jihad, Kim Lightfoot, Dave Tobon, Quincy Vaughn, Kyle Smith, Warren Soulfingers, Bobby Konders, Rick Brown, Ultra Nate, Alexis P. Sutter, Kenny Bobien, Kimara lovelace, Viola Sykes, Aly-Us, Protege, Barbara Tucker, Cee Cee Rogers, Kris Flowers, Kevin Hedge, just to name a few....I can make a long list.
Let you folks tell it, I'm just one big liar.
happy holidays
At least on of TOTs nights at Shelter are recorded and available in the Mix Section here. I remember one of the mixes distinctly because I was amazed that during the lulls when he played Chocolate Sensation you could hear people screaming through the needle of the turntable. So yes, hes obviously right.
I there different terminology for trolls that are self aware vs. trolls that are unaware that they are trolls and don't even have a concept of what being a troll means?
Something I notice on this board is a segment of the population does not seem to have a grasp of internet culture at all. If you spend some time on the net you'll begin to notice that there are behavior patterns that occur in communities regardless of the common interest. It holds true for a dog lovers board, a deep house board, a christian coalition board, a foodie board etc and so on. If your going to log on time here maybe you should step out of the bubble of DHP and look around a bit on the internet. I am not suggesting you leave and go find some place else. I am suggesting you seek some perspective on the internet. You may start to see why you are failing here.
THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE.........it works a little different and means not what you think.

The actress's hairstylist fills us in on the steps to achieving this vintage 'do.
Eschbach began by blow drying Dianna's hair with Oribe Foundation Mist and Oribe Volumista Mist for Volume. Then, she sprayed Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray at the roots for added volume and Oribe Impérmable Anti-Humidity Spray from mid-shaft to ends to keep her hairstyle sleek. To create the updo, Eschbach backcombed the roots into a bouffant, tied the hair into a low ponytail, and twisted and secured in place with pins. A misting of Oribe Superfine Strong Hair Spray set the style in place.

As a role model, you couldn't ask for better.
Just days before the 2003 World Cup, which was only the third international soccer tournament for women, Andrea Neil was contemplating retirement from the sport. But at 31, she was also ready to lead.
"When I was younger, there weren't many older players to look up to. We were all about the same age and just learning the game as we went along," she told reporters at the time. "So I'll be trying to provide some guidance for the younger players."
She played another World Cup in 2007 and then hung up her boots. On Jan. 9 she took on her latest leadership role as the head coach of the UBC women's soccer program. It caps a storied career.
As a 19-year-old in 1991, she made her national team debut and went on to log 18 seasons and 132 appearances for Canada, including four World Cup tournaments between 1995 and 2007. When she retired after the World Cup in China, she was only one of two players to have hit the century mark of 100 games for Canada.
She won two W-League championships in six seasons with the Vancouver Whitecaps, and was inducted to four halls of fame, including the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
She is a UBC alumna and won a national championship as a Thunderbird in 1994, the year after she was named the university's top female athlete.
As a young player on the midfield line with Neil, rising soccer superstar Christine Sinclair idolized the older athlete.
But despite the great respect she enjoys from her peers, Neil says developing soccer at UBC will take patience.
"You can't build it all within the fist two days, first weeks, even the first season," said the 42-year-old soccer great. "You build something over the course of years."
Neil's appointment as the Thunderbirds coach came on the heels of a controversial and embarrassing UBC mistake. The university announced another coach was hired one day before the job posting officially closed. That person, Marc Rizzardo, was forced to re-apply along with all candidates and Neil was hired three weeks later.
Neil applied for the job three years ago but was not hired. Her supporters have lobbied to see her coaching the women's program at UBC, not only because they believe she is qualified, but also because of her talent and effectiveness as an ambassador for the women's game.
"I felt that perhaps she should have been the last hire," said SFU women's head soccer coach Shelley Howieson, adding that Neil's appointment is "overdue."
"I've known Andrea from when she came out of high school," said Howieson, who has been with the SFU program its start in 1988. "I've always liked her even-handed personality and felt she would be suitable for a coaching position. I wish her luck."
This is Neil's first head coaching position. She holds an 'A' coaching license from the Union of European Football Associations and was a Canadian national assistant coach.
It's vital she assesses the program and the players in order to establish a direction for the team, she said. "I have my vision, they need to buy into that vision. It's about creating that together," she said. "The vision will be over the course of years and years. The vision is to try and increase the capacity of each player both on the field in a physical and cognitive and technical way and as a team in a tactical way."
Developing players for their lives off the pitch is also essential, said Neil. "Soccer is not just about soccer."
Life experience can't be undervalued, said the coach who lost her mother in 1996 and her father seven years later. Neil, who played badminton for Canada as a teenager at Prince of Wales secondary school in, committed to soccer after she nearly lost her leg following a motorcycle crash.
Experience counts in "the player who has been through big wins and big losses," she said, but also in "a person who has experienced life beyond the pitch."
Neil, one of Canada's most connected and respected athletes, wants to draw beyond her own personal resources to develop the Thunderbirds as people and players.
"There's a lot of people I'd love to work with," she said. "I think there is a lot of capacity that is untapped. It's an incredibly important thing to link past players who have paved the way for a lot of these current players."
Mentorship also happens within the team, said Neil, noting the difference between a freshman who just arrived in a new city to start university and the graduating player who is moving to a career that may keep her on the pitch or lead her away from competitive sport.
"There's an incredible sense of [giving] a great service to, in this case, women's soccer," she said. "I see a huge mentorship capability."
