My new website!
I'm so happy to have it done (well, sort of done), but in designing it I realized how much work I still have left to do to get Shindig up and going. I have to say, I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to do exactly what I want to do, what makes me happy, yet still work from my home with my kids all around. I won't lie.... it gets a little frustrating at times to be interrupted 5 times because "He put his hand on my leg!!" while I'm trying to decipher HTML code, but I truly wouldn't have it any other way. God bless my children and their ability to hang in there with me through this whole business venture! I love you guys!

I'd like to take this moment to apologize...
I made this Welcome Page for my Shindig Facebook Fan Page, but after countless hours of HTML and FBML codes, I STILL can't get the darn thing to load on the page! Arrrrgh! So I thought I'd just share with you and see what it looks like on the screen.
Now to the post and the apology....I know my regular viewers are probably growing a little weary of all the announcements for Shindig features. I apologize. And I promise it will stop.... soon.... REALLY! I'm just so excited I can't stand it! At this point, I only have these two completely done with maybe 10 or so more in the works, so there aren't any more parties to be featured anyway. That means the celebrating should end pretty soon, and I will get back to what I really need to be doing..... creating awesome parties for the kids in Auburn!
I still can't believe it all started from a simple little upload, early in the morning, while we were at the beach less than 2 weeks ago. I was just bored.... a simple little act of boredom started this whole ball a -rolling!
I woke up one morning about 5:00am, couldn't sleep, and went to the den of the condo to play on my laptop. When I came across the Catch My Party website, which I had visited quite a number of times in the past checking out other people's parties, I noticed a little tab that says "Add a Party" that I had never noticed before. So, like I said, I was just bored, and I found the one file with some party photos from the fairy party that were on my laptop (I keep picture files on my desktop). So I uploaded them and didn't think much of it other than that they could possibly help someone out there planning a fairy party. And then, within a couple of days I get an email saying the party had won Party of the Day. And then another email from someone wanting to feature the entire party, then another and another. And well, I guess you've read the posts. It was amazing.
For a girl who will work til she drops (really!) Who isn't even close to where she needs to be to open this party business.... A girl who has 3 children, a husband and a ton of responsibilities outside of starting her own business..... for a girl who, because of all of the above, was growing more and more discouraged.... I was truly feeling like, "HOW?? How am I going to make this happen? How am I ever going to get enough time to do all the work I need to do?" For that girl, all of this attention is just what she needed. I've been so busy...... a little cut off..... I haven't been able to share all the things I've done with friends for a little support or encouragement. I haven't focused on the strides I've made this year.... instead, I was thinking of all the things I HADN'T done yet..... perfectionist that I am and all..... So all of these posts, and all of the wonderful comments out there on other people's sites, well, it's just really, really nice..... and motivating.... and humbling to now be a small part of this talented "party girl" community that I have been in awe of this entire year.
I do have some more great news though. Today Kara's Party Ideas featured my Fairy Party in addition to the feature she did on Star Wars a day or so ago. And a blog called Petals and Sunshine featured it, too. Then, this afternoon I started getting hits on my blog like crazy, and found that another site called Be Different, Act Normal had featured the Star Wars party as well. It's been a lot of fun opening my email lately! But the funniest of all was a link to my blog that looked a little, well foreign to me. Turns out it was a site from Brazil that featured the Fairy Party! Jonathan and I both started cracking up when we went to look at the post.... all my pictures...... my party..... all with words neither of us could understand! At least there were a lot of exclamation points..... I guessing that works the same way no matter what language you speak.
Life is Good. I am Grateful. And hey, don't forget, click the "Like" button to become a Fan of Shindig on Facebook. We've had a great response on Facebook..... I'd love to see you there, too!!

Stars Wars Party Feature!
And believe it or not, later I found out that we also got PHOTO OF THE WEEK on their Catch My Party Blog! When I told Jonathan he just smiled and said, "Wow, I'm famous!"
Here's the winning shot.
And now for the REALLY good part! One of my very favorite websites, one that I've been stalking for months, Kara's Party Ideas, made the Star Wars Party their winning feature! I still can't believe it! Whoo-hoo!!!! And I also got a mention from another adorable website called Parties and Cupcakes. Just the Kara's Party Ideas site alone gets 260,000 hits a month! Now THAT'S a working girl! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks to Kara and to Brandy! Check them out sometime.
Diary of a Tired but Exceedingly Happy Mom-trepreneur.....
I still can't believe all the attention my little Enchanted Fairy Party is getting. I tend to have big dreams and put in a pretty big effort to realize those dreams, but I gotta tell ya..... this party business has been QUITE an undertaking. Much more than I ever thought. In the beginning, I was so excited and so passionate about every little detail of all the parties I was seeing on the internet that I could barely sleep! I think I drove my family a little crazy saying, "Wow! Look at this! Can you believe how this woman made this cupcake stand?? Look at this table setting!"
I had to be pretty annoying. And then there's the quadrillion hours I've put in.... super-laser-focused on exactly what I want Shindig to be.... want I want Shindig to bring to Auburn and all of it's little ones. And that Fairy Party.... whew, how much I put into that one. But I loved....... DEEPLY loved Every. Single. Minute. Tired, no sleep, but I still loved it.
So there are no words to express how happy.... elated...... excited...... THRILLED I am that so many people all around the U.S. in the party business (and party-loving mom's, too!) have loved this Fairy Party as much as me. This last week as been one of the most amazing of my life. I've always believed in hard work. You can't really go wrong if you know you gave something your best effort. But I was beginning to get a little discouraged after 8 months of gluing, sewing, painting, designing, sawing, nailing, glittering, shopping and all the rest without reaching my goal of opening Shindig by fall with 6-8 parties fully designed and ready for the kids. And on top of that, I was turning 40.
Well, guess what? Forty has been WONDERFUL!!!! As of right now, that I know of, Shindig has been featured on 8 different party websites in one week! Talk about exciting and motivating. I think my prayers are being answered, and I am so very grateful.
Just this morning on Facebook, I noticed Shindig was being featured again on another website I love called A Few of My Favorite Things on their "Fave Things Round Up." Beyond excited I tell you!! Thank you all for your support, and the absolute best part of all of this are the women I'm meeting in the business. You Ladies Rock! I am both inspired by you and humbled by your encouraging words.

Star Wars: Party Details
Not being very "into" Star Wars myself, (I am a 40 year old woman after all!), I had to dig in..... DEEP...... to find some inspiration. I spent countless hours googling..... soaking it all in until, well, I too knew all the characters from Super Battle Droids to Darth Sidious!
So here are the details for all of you who have been asking..... my new "Party People." I love you all, and still can not believe there are so many of you out there as obsessed as I am with throwing beautifully decorated parties.
The invitation...... I scoured the internet for inspiration for the invitation and this is what I ended up with. I used the lego bricks for a frame and the lego Star Wars characters to let all the guests know right from the start that this was no ordinary Star Wars party -- it was a LEGO Star Wars Party.
I used homemade almond buttercream frosting tinted in a nice shade of "galactic gray" for my white chocolate wedding cake cupcakes. They were YUMMY! I wanted to use the characters in some fashion, but still make them as tasteful as possible. This is what I came up with: blue glittery scrapbook paper cut into a diamond shape for the background piece with a black scrapbook piece on top. I then found different images of the Star Wars lego characters on the internet and used Photoshop to get them all the same size. I printed them out on cardstock, cut them out and glued them onto the cupcake topper. I used aluminum foil cupcake papers and spread out some silver tinsel onto a silver metallic charger plate.
The cake should be an entire post unto itself........ it took me 3 whole days!! Professional cake maker and decorator I AM NOT! But it does go to show that with..... (1) a good photo of a cake you like ...... (2) the internet (for Googling your mistakes and how to fix them!)....... and (3) some pretty dogg-ed determination, just about any of us can work with fondant and make a show-stopper. Well, only if you're experienced in the fine art of creating with playdough.
I'll try not to go into too much detail, but it went like this: I made an 8" and a 10" 2-layer cake, and then I covered them with buttercream frosting. I made my fondant (marshmallow, of course, for better taste) and colored it in.... oh..... I don't know...... 10,000 or so colors! No, really, probably 10-12, but it sure seemed like a lot at the time. I used gel paste food coloring for depth of color and kneaded it, and kneaded it, and kneaded it......
Then I made each of the lego Star Wars characters..... Yoda, Darth Vader, Hans Solo, a Storm Trooper and Luke Skywalker. You cannot even imagine how happy THAT made my birthday boy! (I think he went and looked at them every 10 minutes for days on end.) Then I made his name and the number 5 from cookie cutters, the Star Wars logo sign, the light sabers, the Death Star, and then the lego bricks and stars -- all out of fondant. Oh, I almost forgot, I painted everything with edible metallic dust, too. 3 days I tell you!
But, again, soooooo worth it for the sense of accomplishment and the look on that little boy's face.
The centerpiece:
After much, much deliberation, I finally decided on a Death Star centerpiece. I used a ball pinata, took all the extra fluffy crepe paper off, and paper machied it again with newspaper to make it smoother. I cut out a circle, inverted it, taped it back in the ball to create the Super Laser, and then covered it, too, with newspaper paper machie. After it dried, I painted it metallic black and silver to resemble the Death Star.
I created large, black legos from old foam blocks my children weren't playing with anymore. I spray painted them black, hot-glued black checkers on them to create the lego "knobs" and covered the checkers with a punched-out black circle of cardstock. I used paper machie stars painted silver and a number "5" I made from glittery scrapbook paper.
The place settings:
I used black melamine dinner plates with white star dessert plates at each place setting..... blue linen napkins in a silver napkin ring I made from wood pieces (Hobby Lobby) and decoupaged with the Star Wars Logo. The placecards were designed in Photoshop and placed in a silver glittered star I bought in the Target $1 section. The juices boxes were covered with blue paper, and I punched small blue circles out and taped them to the juice boxes to make them look like a lego brick.
The Jedi robes.... I made 12!!!!! Well, actually 13 (a big one for Luke Skywalker, too!) All I can say is I'm really glad THAT part is over -- but the end result was worth all the work. Sewing is one of those things that is so time-consuming, it's hard for me to enjoy but I do it anyway to save a little money (well, maybe ALOT), and I guess for that "I did it!" feeling. I used the tutorial here for the basic design.
I thought it would be fun for each of the boys to get a name tag necklace with their Jedi robes. I designed these in Photoshop.... name on the front..... tasks on the back. Each time the boys completed a task, they earned a silver star sticker.
And a scavenger hunt is ALWAYS a hit at kids' parties, so I went shopping to find lots of theme-related items. I decided on pop-rocks, yo-yo's, frisbees, a blaster gun and a disc shooter -- all that I made a little more Star Wars-ish with stickers. I designed a Scavenger Hunt card with photos of the items they would be finding since most of the boys were 5 and weren't too proficient with their reading skills. I gave them each a bag with his name on it, and said, "Go for it!" They ran around like crazy finding all of the items that they put in their bags and then got to take home with them.
Here is the Star Wars Lego character Bingo Game I designed for the boys to play at the end of the party. I thought it might be a good idea to have a little "settling down" activity before their mama's came to pick them up. They all loved it, and were excited to win a few extra "prizes" like stickers, rings, and glow in the dark necklaces.
The goodie bag....... I bought blue paper sacks and punched blue circles from cardstock to make them into lego bricks. I designed the thank you card and attached it with curling ribbon.
You can find a full line of Star Wars inspired party printables in my shop here to help you host your own Star Wars party.

Iraq postponed a major national conference billed as one of its first steps toward democracy and national reconciliation on Thursday, as the epidemic of kidnappings widened sharply with insurgents announcing that they had kidnapped five more foreign hostages.

Insurgents said Wednesday that they had kidnapped six more foreign hostages and threatened to behead one every 72 hours unless their employer shut down operations in Iraq. The kidnappings came a day after a Filipino truck driver was released when his government withdrew its soldiers from Iraq, a move objected to by American and Iraqi officials.

A Philippine hostage was released here on Tuesday after his government acceded to the hostage-takers' demands and completed the withdrawal of its 51 soldiers and police officers from Iraq a month early. The Philippine decision drew strong rebukes from the American, Australian and Iraqi governments, which all said it would only encourage further incidents. But the Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, said it would have been silly to sacrifice the life of the hostage, Angelo dela Cru...
July 21, 2004, WednesdayPhilippines Viewed as Being Forced to Yield on Hostage
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had no choice but to accede to the demands of Iraqi insurgents who abducted a Philippine truck driver last week and threatened to kill him unless the country withdrew its troops by July 20, analysts and critics said Thursday. The risk of disappointing Washington, her most important ally, was easily outweighed by the potential political retaliation that could have imperiled Mrs. Arroyo's political and economic agenda for the next six years, they said.

Prime Minister Iyad Allawi of Iraq on Thursday announced the establishment of an Iraqi security service to ''annihilate'' terrorist groups in his country, appealed to countries with large Muslim populations to send troops to Iraq and sought to dissuade any countries from negotiating with hostage-takers. He spoke as a Filipino hostage, in a videotaped message broadcast on the Arab television news channel Al Jazeera, thanked his country for removing its troops from Iraq.

The Philippines started withdrawing troops from Iraq on Wednesday to meet the demands of insurgent hostage-takers, and drew criticism from the United States.

A group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant, said it had beheaded one of two Bulgarian hostages held in Iraq and threatened to kill the second within 24 hours, the Arab news channel Al Jazeera reported early Wednesday morning. Al Jazeera did not show the execution of the hostage, nor did it identify him. It broadcast a section of videotape showing a blindfolded man with a mustache, wearing an orange jumpsuit and kneeling with his hands tied behind his back. Three masked men ...

The Philippine government appeared to accede Tuesday to a demand by Iraqi insurgents to pull its small contingent of troops from Iraq in exchange for sparing the life of a Filipino hostage. Philippine officials held an emergency meeting on Tuesday, Reuters reported, but confusion remained after a senior official visiting the Middle East said the Philippine troops there would leave while the Philippine military said no such orders had been received.

Striking with apparent impunity, saboteurs detonated an improvised bomb next to a gas pipeline north of Baghdad early Saturday in an area that has seen more than a dozen major pipeline attacks over the past year.

Mortar rounds slammed into an Iraqi National Guard base on Thursday in the restive, Sunni-dominated city of Samarra, killing five American soldiers and at least one Iraqi guard, while the Philippines president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, ordered her citizens to stop traveling to Iraq in search of work. The clashes began in midmorning, when 38 mortar rounds fell on a building used by Iraqi and American soldiers, demolishing a portion of the building. In the gun battles that followed for nearly ...

President Bush told the Congress of this former American colony on Saturday that Iraq, like the Philippines, could be transformed into a vibrant democracy. He also pledged his help in remaking the troubled and sometimes mutinous Philippine military into a force for fighting terrorism. In an eight-hour visit, Mr. Bush for the first time drew explicit comparisons between the transition he is seeking in Iraq and the rough road to democracy that the Philippines traveled from the time the United ...

AFTER a series of smashing military victories, the president declared the war over. Yet far from giving up, the forces resisting American occupation switched to guerrilla tactics. Isolated sentries were killed by assailants who pretended to be friendly civilians. Patrols in the countryside ran into booby traps. One carefully staged ambush wiped out half an infantry company. American forces responded with harsh countermeasures that led to charges of brutality. That may sound like a portrait o...
July 06, 2003, SundayMeanwhile, Back at the Ranch
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visit last week to President Bush's ranch in Texas was punctuated by an unannounced, last-minute surprise: Mr. Bush invited his house guest to sit in on his highly classified morning intelligence briefing, the daily global review of terrorist threats, loose nukes and brewing hot spots. Just a few weeks before, Prime Minister John Howard of Australia got similar insider treatment at the ranch: he was given a precious seat at the table for Mr. Bush's strateg...

President Bush reaffirmed Washington's commitment today to send American troops to help root out Muslim militants in the southern Philippines, but he did not provide any details of how or when they would be sent. Mr. Bush appeared to be making the statement as a public gesture to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo of the Philippines, who stood at his side during a full-dress East Room news conference this morning that celebrated the United States-Philippine alliance and Ms. Arroyo's support f...

''Heartening,'' one Filipino columnist wrote today after watching scenes of cheering Iraqis on television. But, he added, ''it's still an unjust war.''

Of all the companies and countries clamoring for a piece of Iraq's reconstruction, one is virtually certain to be invited: the Philippines. No matter which companies ultimately win contracts from Washington to rebuild Iraq's roads, airports, hospitals or other structures, officials in Manila expect to supply thousands of Filipino laborers to them.

The three countries pinpointed by President Bush as an ''axis of evil'' -- Iran, Iraq and North Korea -- reacted angrily today while commentators in many other nations, including European allies, bristled at what they saw as the combative, go-it-alone tone of the State of the Union address. Britain, America's leading partner in its military campaign in Afghanistan, was among the few voices praising Mr. Bush, saying he was ''entirely right'' to register ''concern in relation to other countrie...

Borough's best cricketers eye 2014 title charge
12:51pm Friday 13th September 2013 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Twickenham may be the borough's top ranked cricket side, but skipper Carlos Nunes has revealed it may never have happened but for the assistance of rivals Teddington.
Nunes' Ts finished fourth in the Middlesex County League Premier Division table after a convincing 170-run win over Finchley on the Green at the weekend – their eighth victory of the campaign.
It brought the curtain down on the most successful campaign in the club's 180-year history, which saw them finish above the area's traditional cricketing giants Richmond and Teddington.
The result came on the back of opener Babar Choudary's 102 and Nunes' 65, one of several critical knocks from the captain that has seen him pile up 593 league runs this season – including two centuries.
The South African all-rounder, below, had barely scored a run until his unbeaten 120 against Ealing in June, but in his last 10 innings – including that effort – he has notched 530 runs at an average of 75.
It is a run of form that has helped Twickenham collect 74 of their 88 league points and Nunes admitted some advice from Teddington's director of youth cricket Josh Knappett had worked wonders.
"In the first six games I think I had 65 runs. I went to see Josh for a session and he completely changed my game," he said.
"It was important. You realise you need that extra help. It is a tough league, bowlers can work you out quickly and it can eat you up.
"The second half of the season has been amazing and is probably the best cricket I've ever played. The innings against Ealing is my favourite ever and one I will never forget."
Choudhary, Nunes and JP Cronje (44) – who called time on his 14-year stay at the Green on Saturday – helped Twickenham to 329 all out, before player of the year Fawad Mullahazadah (4-30) took his season's wickets tally to 33 to help dismiss the visitors for 159.
It meant Twickenham finished fourth, Richmond fifth and Teddington sixth, with the Ts 42 points off the top.
Nunes was confident of a title challenge next term, and added: "Guys have done well in the circumstances, but we need to find another top order bat, get fit over the winter and then we will be challenging."

In Afghanistan, where most people are illiterate and live in areas without paved roads or regular electricity, a state-of-the-art smart-chip ID card may seem extravagant. But the government believes it can help with everything from census data to voter registration to health care.
The format of the proposed card, however, is fueling debate over ethnicity and identity at a time when anxiety is already high over the drawdown of NATO troops.
When Microsoft introduced Windows 8 last year, the software giant billed the new operating system as one of the most critical releases in its history. The system would bridge the gap between personal computers and the fast-growing mobile world of tablets and smartphones.
But this week, the company sent signals that it might soon alter Windows 8 to address some early criticism of the operating system.

Fans of women's sports often maintain that female athletics get short shrift from the media, so it had to be something of a surprise gift when ESPN presented the start of the WNBA's draft live.
This happened as it was announced that after two abject failures in the past decade, yet another professional soccer league for women will dare venture forth in the United States.

DC exclusive contracts don't, as a default, allow for creator-owned work elsewhere. They are super clear on that, super strict, super hardcore. It's Marvel that's a little more relaxed. Anytime you see a DC exclusive creator doing it, typically its a deal that pre-dates the exclusive. In my case, I was DC exclusive but was allowed to finish up Local at Oni Press. I would imagine Jeff's Underwater Welder is like that.
Is Morrison even on contract? I feel like he's kind of at the point where he can do whatever the hell he wants.
I think it's really going to be interesting to watch Snyder and Lemire in the next few years, as far as I'm concerned they're the upcoming greats. Very impressed.
But yeah. Because what does vertigo have right now?
(Both pretty much perpetual, my dismay at the former disregarded)
American Vampire
Sweet Tooth
(All 4 of which I love the existence of, and will read to completion someday)
And some up-and-comers, no?
[Cool of Brian Wood to clarify, btw, that's some neat author-customer interaction.]
Batman Inc.
New/Uncanny/Young Avengers, Cap, Daredevil, FF, Hawkeye, Thor, Uncanny X-Force, Uncanny X-Men, WatXM
Saga, Unwritten
Yeah I'm pretty sure Morrison's exclusive ended a while back. He did the 18 Days GN for Liquid Comics/Dynamite, and he's doing Dinosaurs vs Aliens. He's just sticking with DC for the superhero stuff.

I love morrison, but um... I'm not really sure you do. It's interesting to listen to Morrison talk about the end of the fourth cycle and whatnot (kind of fun when you notice his actual beliefs kind of tongue-in-cheek parallel, like, final crisis and the whole end of the fourth world stuff), but the actual story told there is not super brilliant, and definitely unfinished. And half the book is character bios.
And yeah, Dinosaurs VS Aliens is out, no? God. Morrison. Not what I want you to be doing.

I know the big rumor is the contracts have changed -- and Karen Berger has less power than she used to -- and therefore are not as attractive to creators as they used to be. It's kind of obvious when you see so many people heading towards Image and, to a lesser degree, Dark Horse. I have a feeling most of these creators (BKV comes to mind) went to Image for exactly that reason. Grant Morrison did state in an interview that one story element in Happy! -- children in harm's way in a sexual manner -- would not be approved by Karen Berger and this is why he's publishing it at Image. I wish I had the link to that interview but, unfortunately, I don't.
That being said, I'll continue to pick up whatever new series Vertigo releases but if it turns out the imprint will shrink to almost nothingness, I'm just going to get my titles elsewhere. I stopped being publisher-centric since last year -- it's too constricting and quite nonsensical.
BKV went to Image because he wanted full control of movie and TV rights, which is something Vertigo has NEVER given. So that isn't so much the result of contract changes for the worse.
Check out my New Blog! Just a random assortment of ideas, thoughts, and reviews!

I think as much as I love DC and Vertigo and find this to be kind of sad, I really think Image deserves all the applause it can get for taking such a step on creator rights. I'm not a :boycott DC/Marvel, read indie only" guy, but what Image is doing is the kind of thing the industry really needs more of to be sustainable.

What are the things that Super Rugby fans are anticipating ahead of the new 2012 season?
The big questions to be answered in 2012 Super RugbyWhat are the things that Super Rugby fans are anticipating ahead of the new 2012 season?
James Mortimer superrugby.com
We take a look at some queries that will be revealed in the months ahead…
Can the Reds go back-to-back?
Only the Blues, Crusaders and Bulls have successfully defended a Super Rugby crown – the seven-time champions on more than one occasion – and the Reds will have 14 hungry teams chasing them down, meaning that the 'ambush' some felt the Queenslanders delivered over the last two seasons won't occur again.
The early loss of Quade Cooper will test their depth, while the canny coaching of Ewen McKenzie will come under the microscope as most opposition back room teams will have gone through the Reds game with painstaking detail to see what they implemented to conquer the 2011 Super Rugby field.
With a heavy number of Wallabies, expect captain James Horwill and strike players Digby Ioane, as well as instrumental scrumhalf Will Genia, to take it up a notch as they are key players not only for their country – but for the champions to again conquer the South Hemisphere.
Will the Crusaders be more formidable with permanent headquarters?
Rugby League Park may not be ready to go from season kick off, but Air New Zealand will receive less business from the Crusaders this year as they are given the gift of home comforts, something taken away from them last year with the devastating February earthquakes.
This didn't derail the Crusaders much, still winning the New Zealand Conference, while early predictions that the travel weary mob would suffer against a rested Stormers in Cape Town proved unfounded, while the resilient red and blacks almost came down to spoil the Reds party, if it wasn't for a brilliant score by Genia.
Richie McCaw and Dan Carter's services won't be available until later in the season, but even the losses of arguably the two best players in the world hasn't stopped momentum in season's past – although the fact they haven't won the title for a record three seasons might be something that irks the regular championship winners.
Will the South African style change this season?
On everyone's lips is the exuberance and belief displayed by the Lions during their Currie Cup charge to the title, while the Cheetahs explosive all out attacking game saw them finish just one point behind the Crusaders as Super Rugby's most potent offensive outfit in 2011.
The grinding, kick dominated, defensive heavy and forward orientated classical styles seen via the Bulls, Sharks and Stormers over recent years – ergo the Springboks pragmatic approach – could take a backseat this season as the Lions and Cheetahs could stray from a more recognised South African methodology and express themselves.
While this may be a blueprint more suited to New Zealand or Australian teams, the Johannesburg and Free State outfits showed they were able to play like their SANZAR rivals – with the John Mitchell and Carlos Spencer connection evident in the Lions, while the Cheetahs gleefully directed runners everywhere during their late season try scoring spree.
Will the recent contenders break their droughts?
The Stormers, Blues, Waratahs and Sharks all finished in the top four last season – and all franchises could be somewhat aggrieved that they couldn't push all the way.
The Stormers contested the 2010 final, the Waratahs have featured in more Super Rugby Finals Series of late than any other team, the Blues (New Zealand's biggest rugby region) will kick off proceedings in the ninth year without the title, while the Sharks have contested more deciders than any other side without claiming the crown.
All four sides have good reason to remain confident coming into 2012, although the trick for the beaten Super Rugby Final Series sides is to find that 'je ne sais quoi' that has prevented them from going all the way, although the ability to rise to the occasion during sudden death matches will surely be at the top of the list.
What to expect from our newest franchise, the Melbourne Rebels, in year two?
While they finished with the trophy-less wooden spoon in the maiden year, one expects the challenge from the Victorian team to be more apparent with twelve months of on-and-off field systems bedded in, while the recruitment of glamour Wallabies backs James O'Connor and Kurtley Beale will add prestige to their attack.
Their offensive approach, heralded throughout the system as a hybrid league style system utilising rapid ball from the breakdown, will not be a focus point for the team or the fans as the Rebels attempt to plug one of the leakiest defensive screens in Super Rugby history.
Unwanted records came Melbourne's way as their defence at times was barely rudimentary, but if it is indeed merely attitude and technique, then with a better understanding as to what to expect – predict a stronger blockade per say and AAMI Park this season.
Are the Bulls and Hurricanes rebuilding?
It wouldn't be unfair for Hurricanes supporters to become very humble when mentioned in the same sentence as a team that dominated the 'Super 14 era' and has won three championships since 2007, but both are experiencing overhauls (although individually unique) unlike any other team.
The Canes deserve reference as their four Super Rugby Final Series appearances since 2005 (with a fifth placed finish in 2007) is one of the better conversion rates of any team in the field, without of course winning it outright.
The Bulls has come from the inevitable retirement and exit of blue blooded legends and Springboks World Cup winners that saw them drift slightly back to the pack last year, and the loss of so many once-in-a-generation players usually predates a period where a dominant franchise needs to naturally start all over again.
The Hurricanes shift began with their most experienced coach (Colin Cooper) being replaced by Mark Hammet last year, and this season more All Blacks have departed than has been seen at any time from a single kiwi franchise beyond the now infamous 2007 post World Cup New Zealand player exodus. The former Crusaders assistant coach clearly felt that despite a glittering roster failure to win a title demanded dramatic change, and this season the men from the capital wield one of the least experienced Super Rugby squads.
Will the Reds new trend of youth reign supreme at the business end?
Rugby World Cups, the highest table of competition for rugby, reveal an almost unbreakable trend of being won by the most experienced team, and this formula has by and large filtered through to Super Rugby throughout the years.
Blues, Crusaders, Brumbies and Bulls championship vintages were often built with experience and a healthy representation of test players – and while the Reds may have been the Wallabies most prolific franchise by mid-2011, this certainly wasn't the case as the season began.
McKenzie and Queensland imbued their youthful squad with the unbreakable confidence and team spirit that allowed them to break into the elusive Super Rugby winner's circle, and whether the re-established Reds production line can continue to field young men who can compete on our grandest stage will remain to be seen.
Or will the veterans present throughout other squads restore the status quo?
Who will remain strong, and who will buck under the pressure?
With the exception of a precious bye or two, the week in, week out nature of the competition has proven to be arduous – and while the season will break for the June Internationals for the first time in 2012 – the teams that win are often those who win the battle of attrition, but more importantly display their wares throughout the season.
Last year the Highlanders started strongly before fading, while the Bulls charge came in the back end of the season, but even despite their impressive respective runs, both came seventh and eighth outside of qualification for the Super Rugby Finals Series.
Even short runs of form loss hurt title contenders – with the Blues losing four of their last five, the Waratahs losing back-to-back matches three times, while the Sharks lost five of eight mid-season – and such 'blips' rarely lend themselves to a championship ring.

text: There was an exchange a week or so ago on the topic of whether John Ashcroft has engaged in discrimination against gays. The New York Times today reported ("Ashcroft Gives Judiciary Panel His Written Replies to Hundreds of Questions") that in his written answer to a question about why he opposed James Hormel's appointment to be ambassador to Luxembourg, he wrote that Mr. Hormel, who is openly gay, could not effectively represent the United States in Luxembourg, a nation that Mr. Ashcroft said was Europe's "most Roman Catholic country." That sounds like an unambiguous statement admitting discrimination to me. It seems as if (despite his earlier denial that he had opposed Hormel based on sexual orientation) Ashcroft is now claiming that the discrimination was justified. Certainly discrimination based on race would not be justified based on the fear that others may share it. Is the argument now that since gays are not a protected class, heterosexuality is some sort of legitimate BFOQ (or some sort of effort to protect Luxembourg's free exercise of its religious beliefs) when dealing with Roman Catholic audiences? Or will those who earlier supported Ashcroft based on his denial of discrmination now change their positions? Susan Bandes

4: Landscape (sketch)
4: Landscape (sketch) |
Title text: There's a river flowing through the ocean |
[edit] Explanation
The early comics sometimes do not present a particular point, but are just pictures drawn by Randall.
[edit] Transcript
- [A sketch of a landscape with sun on the horizon.]
[edit] Trivia
- This is the second comic originally posted on livejournal. The previous was 7: Girl sleeping (Sketch -- 11th grade Spanish class). The next was 3: Island (sketch). View archive here.
- Original title: "Landscape"
- Original Randall quote: "Don't ask me why there's a river running through the ocean. Please."
Interesting... when I first saw this sketch years ago, I assumed that the body of water was frozen and the "river" was a crack in the ice. -- mwburden 22.214.171.124 22:41, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
More likely the dark areas are the watery areas. That would explain the original comment: people asking "why the river?" were only making it too clear to Randall how he missed to convey what he meant. The confusion largely comes from the land being completely flat. 220.127.116.11 18:27, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Fighters Experience Peace on Ammunition Hill in Jordan"The entire visit took place in an atmosphere of mutual respect, honor and reconciliation. Ever since I was a child I considered the Jordanian army professional and fair in the way they treated our prisoners of war. They were not savages." -Nachum Baruchi (Jerusalem, Israel)—Nearly 18 years have passed since Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Jordan's King Hussein signed the Jordan Valley peace agreement, normalizing relations between Israel and Jordan. But even the most obsessive observers of Israeli-Jordanian ties find it hard to remember an encounter as extraordinary and emotional as the one that took place in Jerusalem mid-June, away from the limelight, between veterans of the Six Day War from both sides, says Elhanan Miller writing for the Times of Israel. (Photo: Wikipedia) According to Miller's article, a group of 20 veterans, mostly-high ranking Jordanian and Israeli retired officers, met in Jerusalem June 18 and 19, and toured the sites of battles that pitted them against each other nearly half a century ago. "We once looked at each other through the barrels of guns," said one man. "Now we shook hands and exchanged war stories. The Times of Israel says the meeting was organized by the Israeli Economic Cooperation Foundation (ECF) and Jordan's Amman Center for Peace and Development (ACPD), and funded by the German Friedrich Ebert Foundation. The Israeli veterans, unsentimental warriors in their seventies and eighties, told The Times of Israel they were deeply moved by the encounter with the Jordanians. "This is the first time such an event took place in Israel," said Colonel (res.) Yossi Langotsky, who served as company commander in the Jerusalem Reconnaissance Unit when the 1967 war broke out. "It wasn't easy. I personally killed Jordanian soldiers at close range." Participants said the highlight of the event was a memorial service held at Ammunition Hill, the site of one of the fiercest battles. Thirty-six Israeli soldiers and 71 Jordanians lost their lives on Ammunition Hill and the adjacent police academy on June 6, 1967. Read this article in its entirety at the source link provided.

text: I'm sure you are all aware that Ayumi Kurihara recently went to Mexico to work on Dragomania IV on Aug. 25 and do a few other shows. So here's the S-Arena video in two parts. Part one has Ayumi arriving in Mexico and having a discussion with Ultimo Dragon. They show some footage of Ayumi training with Tiger Mask and then footage from her match on Dragomania. Hopefully I can dig up the entire match somewhere. You'll notice that she wrestles as herself on this show. But on the second video, she works under a mask as A*YU*MI. You can see that she got over very well with the Mexican fans. I'm not surprised. Ayumi always works very hard and is very appealing. I don't much care for the mask though I understand the mask is a big deal in Mexico. I'm not crazy about this trend of joshi wrestlers wearing masks. But it's not going away anytime soon. I like Ayumi's new red outfit though and she's been wearing it since she returned to Japan. Enjoy the videos!

Libyan Red Nose Day
Colonel Gaddafi has declared today Red Nose Day in Libya, in a bid to show the West what a jolly good sport he really is. He appeared on state TV wearing his red nose and encouraging pro-Gaddafi forces to follow suit. His troops are touring Tripoli with boxes of red noses for sale. Buy one or else! The proceeds will go toward helping children in Africa: those of his Somalian mercenaries.
