Foote adopts a teammate
Pittsburgh Penguins owner Mario Lemieux made a smart move when he had Sidney Crosby move in with him and his family after being the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2005.
It paid off last season when Crosby, at 21, became the youngest captain in NHL history to hoist the Stanley Cup. You also have to wonder if Carey Price's adjustment to life in the NHL might have been easier if the Canadiens had found him a veteran housemate when he entered the league.
Anyways, the Colorado Avalanche are taking a page from Lemieux's book by having 18-year-old Matt Duchene (above), the No. 2 pick at this year's draft, live with 38-year-old teammate Adam Foote and his family.
"We adopted one, eh?" Foote, who has two sports-loving young boys of his own, recently told Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post.
"He's sitting in my spot on the couch, which I wasn't too happy about," Foote added with a chuckle. "But we'll figure it out.
"I think my kids have more in common with him off the ice than I do, whether you're talking the computer, video games or music."
Said Duchene, who is only eight years older than Foote's eldest chiild: "His kids and I are more of the same generation than he and I are. It's kind of funny being closer in age to his kids than my own teammate."
Kiszla suggsted another benefit of Duchene living with old-timer Foote: "Duchene can explain the lyrics of Green Day and the appeal of Taylor Swift to his new landlord."

Perth has qualified for the Champions League Twenty20 tournament in extraordinary circumstances at the SCG after an extended rain delay had put them on the brink of elimination in the BBL semi-final against the Sydney Sixers on Wednesday night.
The Scorchers escaped with a thrilling but bizarre five-run Duckworth-Lewis victory and will host Hobart in Friday's final, after Sixers opener Nic Maddinson (36 off 16) fell agonisingly short of leading a heroic reduced run-chase of 54 off five overs.
Sent into bat, Perth powered to an imposing total of 5-193 - the second biggest at the SCG - thanks to another blazing century from opener Craig Simmons (112 off 58).
However, they were then forced to watch as the skies opened and play looked unlikely to restart with rain hitting the city.
Play went within one minute of being abandoned and the Sixers being gifted a hollow ticket through to the final and lucrative Champions League before the covers came off and Sydney was told it needed 10.8 an over to win.
Opener Maddinson hammered five fours and a six to bring Sydney within seven runs with two balls remaining - after he'd been dropped by substitute fielder Hilton Cartwright early in his innings.
However, Cartwright - on for Simmons who had hurt his groin - went from villain to hero when he ran Maddinson out on the penultimate ball.
Needing six off the last ball to force the second super over between the two sides this year - Brett Lee had an air swing off Nathan Coulter-Nile and the Scorchers celebrated qualifying for their third straight BBL final appearance.
Jason Behrendorff (2-5) and Pat Cummins (2-6) kept their cool for Perth.
"Sensational, we're back home for another final," said Scorchers veteran Brad Hogg.
Five overs were needed to constitute a match, and play restarted at 10.35pm, one minute before it would have been abandoned. The Sixers would have gone through based on their superior finishing position on the table.
It was the second upset in the semi-finals, after the Hurricanes caused a boilover against minor-premiers Melbourne Stars on Tuesday night.
Perth is yet to win a BBL title, but will be hoping it's third time lucky.
The Scorchers were going to take some stopping after Simmons' heroics, but the rain gave the Sixers little time to build their innings.
Perth felt the pressure with Cartwright dropping a sitter off Maddinson at cover when Sydney was 1-8 before they made errors in the field in the slippery conditions.
Simmons smashed 11 sixes in his stunning 112 - the equal second highest score in BBL history.
For the 31-year-old who has a full-time job laying power lines in Perth, it was his second century in as many weeks.
After a slow start where he scored just five runs from his first 15 balls, awoke from the dead like Lazarus, hammering his second 50 runs from just 16 balls.
Simmons crunched 10 of his sixes within 28 balls - most of them over mid-wicket and cover.
Supported by Simon Katich (26) and Adam Voges (31), Simmons surged past Chris Lynn and Ben Dunk (14) for most sixes in the tournament (19) and gave Perth all the momentum it needed.

I'll admit, I haven't read all of these responses... But if I was Duff, I'd probably 'sell out', too. Hell, I definitely would! If someone came up to me and said, "if we put your name on a whole bunch of cake decorating stuff and you sit back and pocket the coin... would you??". Are you kidding?? Is that even a question??? Who cares what it tastes like... Most decorating 'stuff' I buy IS useless crap. Most mixes DO taste like... well, won't go there, haha. And honestly, if you were him and you DIDN'T take this opportunity to market these products while you've got your 15minutes, you'd be a moron. Good on him! His cakes aren't the best I've seen, but him and his staff are characters and entertaining to watch. I'm nothing but envious.... And so are all of you. Admit it! Haha.
I say we all take the pledge not to buy this stuff.
I take that pledge!
I can see his fans buying it for sure... but I for one.... look for bargains... always....
I love simply love Rachael Ray... I like her show ( 30 minute meals... not her morning show lol ) but the other day I needed to buy some chicken broth and went to the supermarket... saw that she actually has her own chicken broth (well someone paid her to use her name on their product anyways) but when I saw the price.... I put it right back on the shelf... I don't care how much I like watching you on TV... if I see that you are trying to rob me by jacking up a product so high cause ur face is on it.... I'm just not going to fall for that one... not Emeril, not Rachael and certainly not Duff.... I used to like his show... but it's gotten kinda Duff_less.... it's like now it's his crew making cakes... he is always doing "something" else.... so his crew is very very talented for sure....
Now to those that think that they can buy Duff stuff and make a piece of art..... well I hope that they have a crew on 8 or 9 talented cakers that happend to also be trained artists..... cause you can buy all the DUff stuff u want and when you are there in your kitchen with PS all over... a 3 layer cake and some BC with a bucket of fondant.... looking at all that thinking.... what/how/when/where? then they will see why we charge wht we charge and that is not as easy as everyone seems to think it is.... so this might be a good thing lol....
Duff will make his money regardless of what people here do. Don't be surprised if Cake Boss does not come out with their own stuff eventually.
As for buying it, I can guarantee that it will be done by fans and not real cake decorators since economically it would not make sense.
As for Michaels well their Wilton isle was really drab in my location. I have not purchased anything in there for a while. The candy melts were reduced in weight and the price remained the same so when I needed to buy that I would print the coupon from Hobby Lobby and go get a 1lb. for the same price.
When you charge that much you will get usually only one time buyers. So he might have to reconsider his price points however, it might be more out of his hands then we think. There would be so many middle men etc.
As for the coupons, Michaels limits what you can buy and have removed a lot of product from being discounted like Martha, books etc...so once they get people hooked Duff Stuff might go the same route.
As for cost in Canada well if you want the reasons just PM me. I don't want to start a political discussion here.
As for buying cake supplies at a craft store most of us would only do it in a pinch or because of the coupon. The selections are extremely limited and Wilton only owns the home baker market not the entire thing.
There are a great many more companies out there that have wonderful products that don't cater to the home/small/hobby market.
OOoppps one more thing, for the ladies in Canada go to Bulk Barn. They have a lot of cake decorating supplies in bulk including Belgian chocolate wafers.
Also, they sell a fondant that tastes better then Wilton and the price is not that bad.
Good luck.
I just saw the Duff cake pans and I plan on getting all of them. They are a dull shiny heavy weight straight sided pan. They felt balanced in hand when you picked them up. I think they are better than the Wilton pans I already have. I only have 2 sets of 8" and 9". But they stack inside each other. I just learned here that this does not give you a straight side for a layer cake. This explains a lot of why I have some of the problems I have frosting a cake.
I am going to buy them with my 40% off coupons. They cost about 15 dollars apiece. I think this is about near the same price as Wilton pans, give or take a dollar or two.
But I still won't be buying a cake mix for 8 bucks. Someone missed the mark on that price point.

Thanks Chiara but there is no bulk barn in British Columbia. I wish there was. Gourmet warehouse here carries Belgian Chocolate wafers also but I suspect they are a lot more expensive than your bulk barn.
I just went to michael's.... 20 bucks for the fondant!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!!
I also saw the mats... the price is not bad though.... and he calls the icing sheet.... edible tattoos hehehehe
I have bought three 2-lb containers of the Duff fondant at Michaels, each one costing $11.99 after my 40% off coupon. I know it is either Satin Ice or Fondarific, so I'm happy with that. I only want fondant for decorations, not covering cakes, so I think it's wonderful! I had put off buying fondant from the internet due to shipping charges. This way is wonderful! And I have two more 40% off coupons for next week @ Michaels', and I intend to get more fondant with them.

This is exactly what I plan to do! I cannot buy fondant online so I loooove this so much since it has some colors which take hours to make if I started with a base wilton white. Now I can finaly make a black fondant cake! And with the coupons is the only way I would buy it, too much otherwise.
Iggyosobo- it's a great way to do it! I'd never spend the 20 bucks unless I was desperate, but this is a great way to get it! I wish our Michael's had more colors: they only have white, pink, red, and chocolate.
Just a note, the "Duff" fondant is Fondarific, his icing colors are Americolors just repackaged with his name. It's all about licensing, major bucks in it.
Had to laugh, go read MaryAlice's latest blog post on CharmCityCakes.com.
I loooove watching Ace of Cakes however do get a bit miffed with the amount of non edible stuff and sometimes find myself thinking well where is the cake but it is fun to watch. Cake boss - there is far too much shouting going on there!
We wont get Duff products in the Uk so no worries about me buying any of their stuff lol. I dont buy cake mixes but had a look at the Betty Crockers and they are like £2 over here and full of E numbers yuk.
I think Duff was offered to make his own line by Wilton and hey why not he is in business after all and I am sure he didnt have any input into the prices they are sold for and at $1000 for his cheapest cake maybe he thinks 8/9 is ok for a cake mix lol
I agree with you all...the pricing of Duff's stuff is insane. But I must admit I was doing a cake a couple weeks ago and I needed black fondant. I have never gotten a very good color when starting with white or even chocolate fondant. So I thought what the hay I will save myself sometime and break down and buy Duff. I have to say I was sort of impressed, by the taste that is. We all know how awesomely not wonderful Wilton's fondant tastes so when I tasted the "buttercream" black fondant from Duff's line, I was pleased. My cake wouldn't taste like it just had a chemical bath! LOL! But I don't think I will be buying anymore at 20 buckaroos a pop. No sir!
If I came home with an $8.00 cake mix, that cake had best bake AND ice itself. I'm just saying.
If I came home with an $8.00 cake mix, that cake had best bake AND ice itself. I'm just saying.
I agree. Box mix is pre-measured dry ingredients. Period. The name on the box and/or the price does not guarantee it will not be over or under baked, over exposed to air long after the cake cools, or otherwise ruined by the baker.
Wouldn't it be funny if the mix came with a little display card saying, "This cake endorsed by Duff."
A friend recommended a site to get Satin Ice and Fondirific fondant for much better prices. Someone saide they pay $15 for 2lbs I think that is quite high. Check out fondantsource.com Company name is Jester and they have 5 lb Satin Ice for 16.99 or 20 lb for $45 Thats only $2.25 per lb, much better than $7.5 per lb.
I purchased a box of Duff's yellow cake mix and made it yesterday along with a Duncan Hines Butter mix. They both baked at the same time, in the same kind of pan, and at 325 degrees. The Duff mix baked faster, domed like I've never seen before, and after tasting, it I was very surprised. It not only was not tasty, it left an unpleasant taste. By the time it was leveled, it wouldn't have made a very nice layer cake but because it didn't taste good I didn't use it at all. Never serve a cake that doesn't taste yummy. Maybe baking at the lower temp. caused the crown but the DH states to bake it at 375. I got it with a 50% off coupon really just to see what all the rave is about. What a disappointment! The Duncan Hines baked level, taller, and it was very tasty. Compare $7.99 for Duff's, $1.13 at Target for DH--it's a no brainer.
Happy baking,
interesting test results. thanks for sharing!
I bought the buttercream fondant and thought it tasted pretty good. But it was kinda expensive. It seemed to go farther than Wilton or Satin Ice fondant.
I would only buy it again if I have a coupon.
We just bought some of the Duff spray to apply a silver color to some fondant decorations. The spray can literally worked for about 10 seconds before it clogged. We ended up returning them to Michaels for a refund.
cakedecofun: I would recommend returning the empty box to Michaels (with your receipt of course) and asking for a refund since you were not satisfied with the product. If enough people end up returning this line of products, Michaels will think twice about carrying them.
No duff stuff for me , i wish they would sell ateco brand stuff instead
Well, I don't think there's a need to boycott. You can't knock the guy for being a business man and trying to market off himself BUT like some people have said its prob going to be bought by the fans and or new cake decorators. Well, I have to say im one of those new cake decorators. I bought the cake mix with a 50% off coupon and I have to say too...I was not impressed. A doctored cake mix tastes better and yields more cake too! I buoght the red fondant too bc I was in a jam and none of the stores around me had any red fondant in stock. I have to say that it was the tastiest ready to use fondant I ever had. Kinda had a starburst candy flavor to it. It was expensive tho. Used a 50% off coupon but still. Well, those are my thoughts. Don't knock the guy...sending negative energy out there only means a return of negative energy...who wants that!?
Duff's cake mix is expensive, but it is the BEST CAKE MIX out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only use his now, and people have told me that at first they think my cakes are too pretty to eat, but when they eat the cake, they are astounded at how good it is. Everyone I've made cakes for only want mine now, because they taste so good.

Got an email from michaels about the launch of their duff goldman line of products. They are selling Duff cake mix....REALLY????? Give me a break.
If the customer comments I have seen online (people that actually bought cakes from him) are any indication the only reason for buying that would be if you wanted dry flavorless cake.
Have to say though....once people see the price of the fondant they may think twice about complaining about pricing.
I say we all take the pledge not to buy this stuff.
I'M IN!! You wont catch me buying any of it!
Count me in!! It's terribly overpriced and why?? I dont need his stuff! Would he buy mine??? LOL
Duff will make his money regardless of what people here do. Don't be surprised if Cake Boss does not come out with their own stuff eventually.
Just got a bucket of Satin Ice from Gloabl Sugar Arts the other and and Buddy's freakin' picture is on it!! UGH!!!!
I HATE Cake Boss. I want to like it, I like how they show technique, etc... but I hate all the FAKE FAKE FAKE everything. I can't stand Buddy's mugging for the camera and how everything is a potential disaster.
Give me Duff and his crew any day. I am more than sad that the show is canceled. *sigh*
Also - I did pay $12 for cake mix once at Williams Sonoma. I was sucked in by the cool retro packaging. I knew it was a waste, baked it, it was - well - cake mix. Just fine, nothing else. I did use the box it came as decor in my kitchen for awhile tho. So there will be people who will buy the mix as crazy priced as it is. Can't blame Duff for his marketing people. I'd still run away and wash pans for him if I did not have a husband and kids.
I say we all take the pledge not to buy this stuff.
Count me in too!! Down with Duff
[quote="luv2cook721"]Love to watch Duff and the gang, but my recipes are awesome, so why would I pay 4x more for his box mix. Can't see serious cakers being the target customer for this. They want the fans. quote]
I love to watch Duff and friend create great cake as well, but I will stick with my DH and BC mixes to create delicious cakes besides, the price is right.

dress: ZARA, sweater: H&M, belt: NINE WEST, necklace: H&M, shoes: Tanah Aban
Hello Monday! Today is my Monday Mode! I'm going back to my regular routine posts little by little now I've posted quite a bit about our traveling in Vietnam. I hope you're not tired of seeing so many photos from Vietnam since I still have some more posts about our Vietnam trip.
Now about my Monday Mode topic, I bought this dress from ZARA at Pondok Indah Mall in Jakarta, Indonesia. You can see the photo of my trying out this dress at ZARA's dressing room here. I don't know if I was allowed to do that, but I didn't see no photo sign, so I went ahead. Could I get myself in trouble…?
Anyways, this is the only blue dress I own and one of the few tube top dresses I have in my wardrobe. Everybody has a complex about his/her body, I believe. Right? I do. I have several, and one of them is the size of my chest. I'm a surfboard. For me to wear a tube top is a bit tricky, but I still do. Even though I have to keep pulling it up when I wear it! I added a white sweater to cover a little more of my skin to pay respect as I live in a Muslim country.
I purchased the sandals at Tanah Aban, the well-known whole sale shopping center in Jakarta. It says "Austin", but I have never heard of the brand Austin. Have you? Please don't zoom into the sandals as you can probably tell that they are cheaply made! I like the design with wedge soles and ankle straps. The ankle straps are made with elastic materials which I thought were comfortable and they are, but the zippers in the back kind of hurt the back of my ankles. I'm getting used to them though.
I don't know what it is, but I think owls have been popular lately whether the products being jewelry, wall decal, stuff toy or a movie. Yes, we saw The Legend of the Guardians that felt like the owl version of The Lord of the Rings. I find owl products very cute and I bought this owl necklace at Tanah Aban, the wholesale store in Jakarta. The earrings are from my very good friend. She is from Spain and brought me back these earrings when she went to visit her family there. My only Flamenco earrings! I love them.

A DARING Droitwich Spa woman is set to leap from an airplane to raise charity funds in memory of her father.
Mandy Able, from Dodderhill Road, will take on the daunting skydive challenge on Saturday (May 26) in aid of St Richard's Hospice.
She chose to support the charity after it looked after her terminally ill father Brian Shore.
The popular town man was diagnosed with cancer in June 2011 and died just four months later in October aged 75.
She said: "I was aware of the hospice and what it does because my mum volunteers at the hospice shop in Droitwich after she had breast cancer in 2008. Following her recovery she wanted to give some support to cancer charities.
"I have done some fundraising for the hospice in the past but when they sent me the information about the skydive I thought it would be a great way to raise a significant chunk of money for them.
"I have never done anything like this before but i'm not too nervous as the moment."
Anyone who wants to support her fundraising efforts, which have already raised £1,000 for the cause, can visit her donation page at justgiving.com/Mandy-Able Alternatively, money can be given to her mum Chris Shore at the St Richard's Hospice shop in the town.

Name: La Colombe Torrefaction
Location: 319 Church Street, New York, New York
Rating: 2+
My most recent tour of Philadelphia coffee (now badly in need of an update) never did include a visit to La Colombe. I was well aware of its reputation as a Philadelphia landmark whose coffee is subscribed to by Michelin star chefs, but nearly every report suggested that their extremely dark-roasted style wouldn't be one I enjoyed. I didn't actively avoid La Colombe's coffee on that trip (then again, what is one supposed to make of a cafe whose name translates roughly as "the dried-by-fire, or scorched, dove."), but they ranked low enough on my list that some other cafe or roaster always ended up superseding them. I finally ended up trying La Colombe's coffee for the first time on my recent trip to New York. Their Church Street cafe, where La Colombe reportedly pays up to $10 K a month in rent, was close enough to my other targeted stops to warrant a trip of its own. Beside, I felt somewhat obliged to try La Colombe's coffee given their place in the larger coffee cannon. Maybe I wouldn't like their coffee, but I had to be sure.
The Church Street cafe, which is oddly absent from the company's website, doesn't precisely match my aesthetic. At the same time, it's hard for me to say that I don't at some level appreciate the care and attention given to the place and to simultaneously recognize that many New Yorkers might find La Colombe's sense of design appealing. A theme it shares with many New York locations are aged/restored brick walls. This cafe contrasts this older look with a more modern, deep gray, dove-insignia-painted back wall. This mix of wall patterns blends smoothly into the rich, dark wood of the rounded, triangular tables, benches and counters. The total effect, however, is a little slick, cold and dark, even as it does convey some feeling of elegance.
The stand out element that embodies both style and function, and one of the reasons I was actually excited to come here, are the twin, vintage 2-group, Faema E61 espresso machines. From these two machines the barista pulled me a dark, smokey and mellow espresso that tended towards the sweeter and not too bright side, with some richer, chocolate notes. The crema was reddish and moderately thick, but the overall shot was somewhat harsh in the back of the throat and didn't otherwise wow me with any flavors or aromas.
I forgot to note the brewed coffee that day although I believe it may have been the Corsica. Of course, La Colombe, bucking anything resembling coffee's latest trends, offers only 5 blends – no single origin coffees – and roasts them all towards the darker end of the roasting spectrum. At the Church Street cafe, brewed coffee is prepared in a commercial brewer and my cup of coffee didn't give me a lot of insight into any particular origins of the beans in this blend. The roast flavors were very heavy, resembling a slightly less compelling version of the shop brewed coffee from Peet's.
The bottom line is that La Colombe produces a slightly above par espresso with room-to-grow brewed coffee and not too many options in terms of the latter. I think my initial expectations were more or less on the nose; it's certainly not to my liking. It also troubles me that La Colombe is so well received by so many top-rated chefs. Just to be clear, it's better than Starbucks and this cafe would have been a welcome sight 4-5 years ago in a much less coffee-rich Manhattan. These days, however, unless you live around the corner from La Colombe, there are so many other better options right near by.

Sam Powell has been ruled out of Wigan's World Club Challenge match on Saturday with an ankle injury.
Powell, who can play at half-back or hooker, suffered the injury during training and will now not feature in the showpiece game against the Sydney Roosters.
A statement from Wigan read: "An initial diagnosis has ruled him out of the game with Sydney Roosters whilst the full extent of the injury will be investigated by Wigan's specialists on their return to the UK next week.
"Powell, who developed through the famed Wigan youth development system had forced his way into head coach Shaun Wane's reckoning after impressing last season and during pre-season."
Wane added: "It is a big blow for Sam who has worked really hard in pre-season but with his character I'm sure he will bounce back stronger."

Addabbo Says a Variety of Vital Education Issues Will Be in Spotlight During Upcoming 2014 Legislative Session
Queens, NY, December 17, 2013 -- NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. (D-Queens), a long-time member of the Senate Education Committee, today noted that a variety of important issues deeply affecting New York's school children, families, teachers, school administrators and the state's entire educational system are expected to take center stage during the upcoming 2014 legislative session.
"During the first three months of the session, we will be developing and negotiating the new State Budget for 2014-2015, and a big part of every state spending plan is centered within our efforts to provide necessary and equitable funding for schools in New York City and across the state," Addabbo said. "But on top of the education policy and funding issues that are part of the State Budget, the Senate, Assembly and Governor will also be looking at a number of complex initiatives impacting how our children learn, how our teachers teach, how our overall education system is judged, and who we hold accountable for the ultimate operations and performance of New York City schools."
Addabbo noted that he has been hearing frequently from many constituents, parents and educators regarding the controversial "Common Core" learning standards that were devised by the federal government and are being pursued with the goal of better preparing school children for a college education and future careers. The new learning standards are now being applied for English and Math and are expected to be integrated into other courses of study in the coming years.
"No one can argue against the ideal of better preparing our kids for good jobs through a higher education, which is increasingly necessary for adult success in this global economy," said Addabbo. "However, imposing federal standards in a 'one-size-fits-all' manner doesn't take into account significant differences in local schools, their student populations, their staff, their funding levels and many other variables. Many of my constituents have questions about the implementation of the standards, their cost, their effectiveness, associated student data collection proposals, and how they will affect the quality of education our children are receiving."
The Senator said he is going to continue to discuss Common Core and possible reforms of the standards in his district with concerned parents, teachers, principals and other education stakeholders.
Addabbo said the issue of teacher and principal evaluations will also continue to be reviewed and debated by state legislators in the coming year. "In 2012, New York State passed a law to implement a statewide system of teacher and principal evaluations, as well as a measure to provide parental access to certain evaluation information," Addabbo said. "We need to examine how this is working, and most of all, determine whether it is helping or hindering the performance of our educators and children. While I support the basic concept underlying these laws, I have also expressed my concern that some aspects of teacher and principal evaluations can be very subjective and that the personal family lives of many students – including those living in poverty or whose first language is not English – can certainly have a tremendous impact on their success in the classroom. We need to continue these discussions."
With the law establishing mayoral control of New York City schools expiring in 2015, Addabbo said that discussions whether to abolish, continue or reform the current system governing local schools are also likely to have a place during the 2014 session. "I would like to see some reforms to provide school principals with more authority and flexibility and offer parents more meaningful input into the education of their children," Addabbo said. "With all of the other significant changes taking place in our educational system, it makes sense to start thinking now about what we want our New York City school governance structure to look like in 2015."
Addabbo, who currently serves as a member of the Senate Education Committee and Senate Select Committee on Libraries, said he will continue to make educational issues a top priority when the new legislative session begins on January 8th with the Governor's State of the State Address. "I look forward to being back in our State's Capitol to work on education policy and other important issues and urge my constituents to contact me at any time with their concerns," Addabbo said. "Hearing from the people I represent is both a pleasure and a necessity in being able to speak on their behalf in Albany."

If you've been following our stories regarding the protests in Canada, here and here, then you may be interested to know that the group 'Anonymous' has once again targeted Formula One as the center of their next attack on June 10th according to the group's statement:
There's been a lot said the last few days about Trenton Oldfield's Mid-Thames paddle at the Oxford Cambridge boat race last weekend. Well I say there's been a lot said; really very little has been said, but it's been repeated with slightly different words under a number of different banners.
The government and the police have, over the last 20 years or so, been pursuing a policy of increasingly criminalising protest. They no longer see it as their role to facilitate protest, they see their role as to police protest, to regulate and control it.
"What would Jesus do?" everyone is asking. It's not outrageous to suggest that he would regularly sip a West End cappuccino with a prostitute friend on one side, and a desperate drug addict on the other. Certainly, the complexities of the modern world wouldn't scare him off.

Maggie Gyllenhaal lusts after long hair
Maggie Gyllenhaal daydreams about having long luxurious "mermaid style" locks.
The actress was first seen with her new pixie crop hairstyle at the end of March.
Maggie revealed the style was born through necessity rather than desire while in attendance at the Kate Young for Target launch party earlier this week.
"I originally cut it in, like, a bowl cut for a movie. But when I got home I was trying to figure out what to do with it, so I asked Serge [Normant, her hair stylist] to cut it, and he cut it all off!" Maggie exclaimed to PEOPLE.
"I have a fantasy of what it would be like to have mermaid-style long hair, but I wasn't even close to that when I cut it last time."
Although she daydreams about long luxurious locks, Maggie quite likes the look now. She joins a whole host of other Hollywood beauties who have sported similar super short styles, including Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway.
The star joked that her husband actor Peter Sarsgaard approved of her dramatic new look.
"I think the way he feels about me really does not have a lot to do with my hair," she smiled. "And I'm really incredibly grateful for that."
The Lovelace actor shares two children with Maggie - Ramona, six, and Gloria Ray, eight months.
He recently attended the Sundance Film Festival where he displayed a new hair look – by way of a grizzly beard.
Peter joked that it is his baby daughter who dictates his grooming habits.
"My daughter is eight-months-old, and if I shave at this point it's going to be so traumatic," Peter laughed. "She knows me as a man with a beard. You get attached to these things."

Credit Scores vs. Credit Reports
Oftentimes, we as consumers refer to our 'credit' when talking about our personal finances. In order to be approved for a loan we need "good credit", but what does that mean? Credit information comes in two forms: reports and scores; both will tell us our financial standing, but each contains unique information and serves a specific purpose.

Here's All The Crazy Food of The Box in One Place
Matt McCallister made oreos with Bartles & Jaymes wine cooler sherbet in between.
Nick Rallo
The Box, if you haven't been following along, is the Cheap Bastard's brainchild, wherein chefs turn a box full o' crap and turn it into foodstuffs. Between Brian C. Luscher's weird-ass terrine of spam and quail eggs and the twinkie crowning inside a banana with homemade nutella, we've gotten some pretty wild stuff.
So, over in our slide show section, we've put together all the chef creations in one place (with fancy video links and such).
Alice and I will be along with more, for sure, as stumping these chefs' considerable talents is proving difficult. Maybe we'll just give the next chef a giant, horrifying gummy worm or something.

Everything You Did by Steely Dan Songfacts
This is an angry song directed to a lover. It's one of Steely Dan's lesser-known compositions;
called it "relaxed and hummable, but hardly memorable" in their review.
The line, "Turn up the Eagles; the neighbors are listening" has become the mythologized in rock. Steely Dan admired the Eagles, and the group's had the same manager: Irving Azoff. The duo has been coy about the line, but legend has it that Walter Becker's girlfriend loved the Eagles and played them all the time, which bothered him a bit. One day they got in a fight, and he came up with that line.
A story with more veracity is how the Eagles returned the favor on "
Hotel California
" with the line, "They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast." With the clear intention of getting a Steely Dan mention in the song, the line was written as "They stab it with their Steely Dan," but they decided to make it a little more vague. As Glenn Frey has pointed out, changing it to "steely knives" retains the phallic imagery.
Asked by
what he thought when he heard the line, Don Henley replied: "I know them pretty well, and it was like he was sort of saying, 'Everybody's in LA's playing this f--kin' record, and I'm sick of it.!' It was a little bit of an acknowledgment and a little bit taking the piss, because we had the same management – still do- but you know, they're very droll,
in particular."

Anyone ever notice the line in Asia's "Silent Nation" (appx. 2004) - "Turn up the neighbors, the eagles are listening."? I wonder if permission had to be given for such a copy.
Dave - Ormond Beach, Fl
Here is what really happened.
Becker's girlfriend was always playing The Eagles. I'm not sure if it bothered him, but they were fighting and he said "Turn up The Eagles the neighbors are listening."
Then Fagen took it and did what he does best.
Brian - Savannah, Ga
Sorry, Lou from Hartford, but the name "Steely Dan" was taken from "Naked Lunch" by William S. Burrows.
Philip - Akron, Oh
Hotel California is about the draw of the fast life in California. Yes that line is about drugs. But steely is a slang term for a hypodermic needle. That's the reason for the line and that's probably the reason for Steely Dan's name.
Lou - Hartford, Ct
According to Glenn Frey's liner notes for The Very Best of Eagles, the use of the word "steely" in the lyric (referring to knives) was a playful nod to band Steely Dan, who had included the lyric "Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening" in their song "Everything You Did."
Thomas - Sacramento, Ca
here's how it really went down:
should settle any arguments on the subject
Wood3001 - Vancouver, Bc
Andrew, your comment about Timothy B. Schmidt playing on "Can't Buy A Thrill" didn't sound right to me, because Steely Dan was a self-contained band for those first two albums. I looked it up and Schmidt did play on some Steely Dan albums, starting with their third, "Pretzel Logic." Still, you are correct that Steely Dan and The Eagles were obviously aware of each other. Their rivalry in the 1970's is widely documented, including the connection between "Everything You Did" and "Hotel California", as mentioned here by Seth of Brooklyn and other commenters. The songs were actually released even closer together than Seth states. The albums from which they were released ("The Royal Scam" and "Hotel California") came out in May 1976 and December 1976 respectively.
Dane - Central Nj, Nj
Timothy B. Schmidt, the bass player from the Eagles played on the first Steely Dan album, Can't Buy A Thrill. So obviously there is a connection.
Andrew - Glendora, Ca
I'm reading a lot of bickering. I just wanted to mention the obvious meaning of this song. Guy catches his GF cheating. But in some kinky way he's turned on by it.
I'm a big Steely Dan fan from way back, in 1987 I had a rough break up with a girl (guess why)
After that I couldn't listen to this song for a long time
Joe - Somewhere In Fla, Fl
Saw the Eagles at MSG last month, great show, Walsh was great.
saw the Dan last Friday at the Beacon, they rule.
Andy - Rockaway , Ny
Steely dan & the Eagles did have a weird competitive relationship. I think thier syles are very different, but I can see why in the 70's they were each others competition.
Erica - Barrington , Il
I just recently discovered this website and it is FANTASTIC (and quite addicting).
Bill - Schererville, In
Of course it's a 'dig' at the eagles - between two rock bands that respect each other, you think it would be some lovey dovey tribute? Have you ever been in a rock band? Your hair would turn white if you heard the 'terms of endearment' we use towards each other. heh heh.
Liquid Len - Ottawa, Canada
I had read in interviews of members of both Steely Dan and the Eagles about the "mutual references". I always thought it funny that the Eagles figured they'd "repay the favor" of the reference when I always perceived it as a dig. (Seth from Brooklyn's mention of the fact that the lyric "was inspired by Walter Becker's girlfriend, who loved The Eagles" only reinforces this in my mind.) It's a bit of condescension regarding the musical taste of this particular object of scorn. ("How's my little girl?") Then again, any major Dan-head like me surely will tell you that Fagen and Becker are a couple of colossally arrogant (expletive)s that happen to write and create great music... and I couldn't love 'em more for it...
Tony - Vero Beach, Fl
Steely Dan and the Eagles are 2 of my top 3 all time favorite bands. I never knew they had a connection until I came on here. That figures hehehehe
Mike - Hueytown , Al
Ummm Becki...whether or not you don't believe me does not change the fact that I did meet and talk to Felder. You might want to read about how they wrote Hotel California before you come up here talking about what you "think" you know.
John - Wilmington, Nc
Dear anyone who cares,
The song "Hotel California" is not about drug addiction. It's simply about america in the 70's and the life of excess that many, like the Eagles, had in that time period.
Kelsey - Donnellson, Ia
ok like I believe that you have met Don Felder,and you also want us to believe that when you did meet him you remembered to ask him about the lyric that we are talking about?Keep dreaming!
Becki - Hendersonville, Tn
Sorry to burst your bubbles Paul and Becki but the lyric "steely knives" is a nod to Steely Dan. Not only have I read this in interviews but I met Don Felder who helped write the song. We discussed that lyric and he asked me how I knew it was a nod to Steely Dan. I told him about Everything You Did mentioning the Eagles and he said that is absolutely right. Went on to say that Steely Dan was a great band.
John - Wilmington, Nc
hotel california is about drug addition.they did not use the lyric "steely knives" about steely dan.Paul is right
Becki - Hendersonville, Tn
Hotel California was about cocaine addiction. The "steely knives" were razor blades and the beast was the addiction.
Paul - Iowa City, Ia

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Charlie Crist ordered an internal investigation and a citizen lodged an ethics complaint Wednesday over the extensive taxpayer-funded travel of Juvenile Justice Secretary Frank Peterman between the state capital and Tampa, near his family home.
Crist ordered his inspector general, Melinda Miguel, to review Peterman's travel after seeing a Times/Herald report that Peterman has spent $44,000 in tax dollars on travel in less than two years. Miguel's mission is to root out waste, fraud and abuse in state government, Crist spokesman Sterling Ivey said.
Peterman did not respond Wednesday to a request for a comment. He issued a one-sentence statement that said: "Secretary Peterman and the Department of Juvenile Justice will fully cooperate with the inspector general's investigation."
He said Tuesday that he travels to St. Petersburg frequently to be closer to his employees and clients, and because Pinellas is one of seven urban counties with a high juvenile crime problem.
Nearly half of Peterman's total travel bill, about $20,000, was for 68 airplane flights between Tallahassee and Tampa over a period of 20 months. Many of those trips allowed Peterman to spend the weekend with his wife and four children, who live in St. Petersburg.
Peterman also is senior pastor at the Rock of Jesus Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, where he drew a $29,000 salary last year in addition to his $120,000 state salary, according to a financial disclosure statement he filed with the state in July.
An agency spokesman, Frank Penela, said Peterman continues to preach at the church on Sundays while serving as the state's top juvenile justice official. It is unusual for a full-time state agency head to hold a second job.
Crist said he would not judge Peterman's conduct until the review is complete. The governor said he had no recollection of Peterman asking to return home on weekends for family or church reasons.
"Hopefully, there's not more," Crist said. "I like to go to St. Pete sometimes, too, but I pay for it."
No records exist of Crist's personal travels because he pays for it out of his own pocket and does not seek reimbursement, a spokesman said.
As governor and a St. Petersburg resident, Crist has flown on the state plane 23 times to St. Petersburg since taking office, at a cost to taxpayers of $4,269. On 19 other occasions, he flew on the state plane to Tampa at a cost of $3,772.
The ethics complaint against Peterman was filed by David Plyer of Clearwater, a citizen activist who has filed complaints against Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp and state Rep. Ray Sansom of Destin. Those allegations, like the one against Peterman, were based on news accounts.
Plyer, who is a member of the Pinellas County Juvenile Justice Council, said Peterman has never met with the council in the nearly two years he has been in office.
In his complaint, Plyer cited a state law that bars officials from using their positions "to secure a special privilege" for themselves.
"We do not expect them to take advantage of their position to make their personal lives more comfortable or convenient," Plyer wrote in his complaint. "When we become aware of a flagrant disregard for the trust we place in them, we expect and demand accountability."

The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) is slated to appoint its interim chairperson in an extraordinary meeting on Monday.
Members of the board have confirmed to the New Vision that they will select an interim chairperson to lead Monday's meeting.
The position of the chairperson fell vacant after Fagil Mandy resigned in protest of the extension of the contract of UNEB executive director Mathew Bukenya, who has been at the helm of the institution for 16 years.
Section 6 of the UNEB Act states: "if a member of the board resigns before the expiration of the term, the authority concerned shall appoint another person in his stead to hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the member in whose place he was appointed."
The major role of the board chairperson is to convene and lead meetings where policy issues of the national assessment body are discussed.
Section 7 of the UNEB Act states that: "The chairperson shall preside at all meetings of the board, and in his or her absence such other member of the board as the members present shall appoint shall preside."
Education Minister Jessica Alupo had asked the board to convene last Monday and choose someone who would work in acting capacity, but UNEB spokesman Hamis Kaheru said the meeting could not take place because members of the board are strewn across the country and require early invitation.
Mandy was appointed on a three-year contract in 2012, succeeding Prof. Lutalo Bbosa.

Empire for Liberty:
Wai Chee Dimock approaches Herman Melville not as a timeless genius, but as a historical figure caught in the politics of an imperial nation and an "imperial self." She challenges our customary view by demonstrating a link between the individualism that enabled Melville to write as a sovereign author and the nationalism that allowed America to grow into what Jefferson hoped would be an "empire for liberty."
"In this tenacious and articulate study, Professor Dimock explores the 'textual governance' of Melville's fiction: the ways in which the expectations and practice of imperialism in antebellum America necessarily informed--and limited--the poetics of Melville's 'authorial sovereignty' over his writings. Not everyone will agree with her conclusions about Melville's problematical poetics and historicism; yet her book will send the reader back again and again to Melville, equipped with new insights into his art and vision."--R. Bruce Bickley, Jr., American Literature
"Empire for Liberty is one of the most important studies of Melville to appear in many years and it sets the terms for critical debate about his work for many years ahead."--Richard Poirier, Editor, Raritan Quarterly

Annual Showcase at Smith College Celebrates Student-Faculty Collaborations
"How 9/11 Broadly Shaped Children's Understanding of America."
"Gay Marriage: Legal Problems and Progress."
"Women, Writing and Mental Illness."
"Happily Ever After? Reinterpreting Marriage and Divorce."
Those are some of the provocative titles of 122 presentations and performances that will be given by more than 200 students on Saturday, April 21, during an annual showcase of works resulting from collaborations between students and faculty members.
Elizabeth Jamieson '94 works with Hope Stansfield '07
"Celebrating Collaborations: Students and Faculty Working Together" will feature presentations on a range of topics in several categories, including history, the sciences, theater, literature, government and economics. The presentations, which represent senior theses projects, independent study and research, will begin at 8:30 a.m. with a science poster session on the second floor of the Smith College Campus Center. Subsequent sessions will take place in various campus locations from 10:45 a.m. to noon, 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and 2:45 to 4 p.m.
The event is free, open to the public and wheelchair accessible. For a complete schedule and more details, consult the Web site.
The projects in the event involve the collective collaboration of 83 faculty members. And while some of the presentations titles, especially those in science and technology, reflect highly technical subject matter, others are pertinent to modern societal issues.
Consider morning sessions titled "Does Right Wing Authoritarianism Affect One's Perception of the World?" presented at 8:30 a.m. by first-year students Eleanor Rettew and Amanda Chesnut, or "It's Not Working: Developing a Smarter and More Sustainable Land Use Plan for Miami, Fla.," presented at 10:45 a.m. by senior Rachel Herrmann.
Some of the science-related research addresses current issues. "Tropical Desktop Computer Design" is a science poster presentation by four engineering students to create a computer that can operate efficiently in troublesome tropical climates. "Fuel Cell Design and Installation: Dairy Farm Manure Digester" is a presentation by four students on the integration of methane, power generation, hot water use and heat dissipation.
Afternoon sessions will range from "Reflections on 'Eleusis,'" a DVD presentation deriving from a multimedia performance project by senior Kelsey Siepser, to a poetry reading, "Raising Voices, Raising the Dead," by three students. At 2:45 p.m., senior Allison Kaylor will speak on "Existential Theories of Art Applied to Works of Literature," and senior Michaela LeBlanc, president of Smith Republicans, will give a PowerPoint presentation on "Rockefeller vs. Reagan: Documenting and Examining the Decline of Moderate Republicans."
This year marks the sixth annual "Celebrating Collaborations" event, in which students from all disciplines and classes are invited to present their scholarly work.
"These sessions represent the many and varied student-faculty collaborations which take place on our campus every day," said Susan Etheredge, interim associate dean of the faculty, who oversees coordination of the event. "This is an exciting celebration of liberal arts education and all it offers."
Smith College is consistently ranked among the nation's foremost liberal arts colleges. Enrolling 2,800 students from every state and 60 other countries, Smith is the largest undergraduate women's college in the country.

Mohammed, Nurfadilah and Ahmad, Wan Azlina (2010) Application of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for optimizing removal of Cr(VI) wastewater using Cr(VI)-reducing biofilm systems. In: Regional Annual Fundamental Science Seminar, 8-9 June 2010, Kuala Lumpur.
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.mjfas.utm.my/index.php/mjfas/article/vi...
Response surface methodology (RSM) involving central composite design (CCD) was employed to obtain optimal conditions for Cr (VI) wastewater treatment by Cr (VI) reducing biofilm systems. On the basis of a CCD, RSM was used to determine the effect of initial metal concentrations (40-100mg/L), nutrient supplementations (10-20%) and flowrate (3-6mL/min) on the levels of response, i.e. Cr (VI) reduction efficiency. A set of 20 experimental runs were needed for optimizing of the operating conditions. Quadratic regression models with estimated coefficients were developed to describe the Cr (VI) reduction. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a high coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.9941, thus ensuring a satisfactory adjustment of the second-order regression model with the experimental data. Cr (VI) reduction had significant effect on all the three dependent variables. The experimental results show that Cr (VI)-reducing biofilm systems could effectively reduce Cr (VI), 100% at the optimum conditions of initial metal concentration of 100 mg/L, nutrient supplementation of 20% and flowrate of 3mL/min. The experimental observations were in reasonable agreement with the modelled values.

MAC Syrup is hands down my all time favourite MAC lipstick. It's a cool toned pink with a slight hint of purple and it just works. The formula is a Lustre, which is one of my favourites and this lipstick will 100% be added to the repurchase list!
Maybelline Colour Sensation in Neon Red is one I recently mentioned in my favourites video. The colour is the perfect bright red without looking heavy or too over the top. The texture is amazing because it feels really moisturising and applies like a smooth lip balm but lasts on the lips like a lipstick. I really like the packaging too, it's bright and fun but also simple and easy to use.
Hourglass Opaque Rouge in Icon is a wow lipstick that needs little explanation as to why. It has a very similar formula to the Rimmel Apocalips (possible dupe?), applies like a liquid lipstick but very quickly sets like a stain. The colour is a deep, intense red, the packaging is a gorgeous little bullet and lasting power? Well let's just say I struggled to get this off using makeup remover even after ten hours!
So there you have it… the lipsticks that wowed me. This wasn't supposed to be a top six lipsticks post but now reading this back I'd say these are my favourite six out of my collection.
So which one is your favourite from the above?

Donkey Kong Country Returns
Review by Boo_Guy
"He's back again, and it's about time too!"
Welcome to the world of Donkey Kong. Enjoy the plush jungles, the finest beaches, and even the ancient ruins of Donkey Kong Island. All this plus more is in one of the greatest platformers in videogame history.
Gameplay: 10/10
So let's start off with the most basic part of any videogame; the gameplay. This game carves itself after the DKC series, and mainly the first DKC game. The style of the first platformer in the series is designated to a fast-past adventure. Donkey Kong Country Returns returns this style. Enemy placement is provided in areas so that a rolling attack can be done to gain momentum, and to be jumped on to reach higher places and continue to go fast. Retro did a superb job of keeping the game fast-paced and keeping you on the edge of your seat. Retro also threw in puzzle pieces in hidden areas for you to collect. The puzzle pieces unlocks extra content: images, music, concept art, and dioramas. The puzzle pieces aren't needed for 100%, so you can skip them if you choose. Keep one thing in mind while playing this game: It's hard. Harder than the originals, and one of the hardest platformer since the early Nintendo days. Retro provides plenty of checkpoints and gives lives out like they were going out of style, so you don't have to worry about the game being frustrating. Just keep in mind that it starts off pretty easy, but close to midway the difficulty ramps up a notch or two.
Each level is unique and follows the archetype of the world it's in, such as "Jungle" and "Beach". Every level throws something new at you, so it never once feels dull or repetitive. If you've played either of the Super Mario Galaxys, think of it at those games in 2D platformer form, but with Donkey Kong Country elements such as barrel blasting. Familiar items also make a return, such as K-O-N-G letters, bananas, and barrels. Diddy Kong also tags along, but he's mostly a power-up in 1-player mode. He can be used to hover for a little bit in mid-air with his jetpack and can be used to create an infinite-roll attack. In 2-player co-op, Diddy Kong is a full blown character like in the original, and he brings along his peanut popgun from Donkey Kong 64. As for the story in this game, it's simple just like the originals; The Tiki-Tak Tribe bursts out of the core of Donkey Kong Island (apparently they've been holed up there for quite some time) and kidnaps Donkey Kong's banana hoard and hypnotizes the creatures around Donkey Kong Island to work for them. DK is immune to the hypnosis, so he beats up a Tiki and continues his journey along the way. Cranky also returns, in his normal snarky self, to sell you items (bought with the many banana coins you find in the levels) to help you on your journey.
Sound/Music: 10/10
The music about 90% remixes of the original DKC game. All but three songs make a return, while a few new ones also show up. If you've ever played the original DKC game, you'll instantly recognize the tunes. Because the original had such awesome music (David Wise is the man), reusing it was a smart decision by Retro. An easy 10/10. The new tunes aren't bad either, but the remixes are what really catches my ear. Familiar sounds also return, such as the original K-O-N-G letter sound and bananas.
Graphics: 10/10
You might think I hand out 10/10's like this game hands out lives. Well, no, this game really is amazing. The graphics are the best of any Wii game to date. You don't need realistic graphics to be charmed by the beauty of Donkey Kong Island. The backgrounds are really what makes this game special; everything is so alive and active. Not one square-inch of scenery in this game is rehashed. Retro is pretty good at that, looking at their Prime series. Anyways, just like its SNES predecessors, the visuals are stunning. A new type of level is introduced in this game; silhouette levels. If you haven't seen one yet, try and find a picture. The silhouette levels are unique and are pretty much eye candy.
Controls: 8/10
The only minor setback in this game is the forced waggle controls. It doesn't matter if you use nunchuck or sideways Wiimote; you have to waggle. You'll get used to it in due time, but it's inconvenient when we should just have the option to press a button to roll. Rolling aside, ground pounding and blowing (ducking down and waggling) are other actions Donkey or Diddy can make. I was originally going to give this a lower score, but I think it's actually pretty clever to instill motion controls for ground pounding and blowing, because it gives you a little sense of feeling that you're in the Donkey Kong world.
This is a worthy successor to DKC, and in my opinion, it's the best in the series, and the best platformer released in 10 years. It's full of content and it's one huge thrill ride. The game doesn't fall back on the use of nostalgia, but it has plenty of nostalgia in it. The difficulty is something that should be praised. If any "professional" reviewer docks points because of its difficulty, they should be fired. I'm sorry, but if you suck at a game that gives you fair difficulty (and even a superguide, if you really need help), then you don't deserve to review games. That little rant aside, admittedly, this game isn't perfect. A run-button feature would have been nice, along with more familiar DKC faces. Overall I'd give it a 9.7. Small criticisms aside, you will enjoy this game without a doubt, unless you just don't like platformers whatsoever.
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

Makerere University kitchen staff, recently redeployed to other departments by the administration, have petitioned court demanding sh2.5b terminal benefits.
Last week, they filed a suit against the university at the civil division of the High Court in Kampala.
They are protesting a move to introduce outside catering services, before payment of their terminal benefits.
The aggrieved staff, numbering 237, are protesting the university administration's move, saying it is a breach of contract.The redeployment letters are dated June 17, 2014.
The university has nine halls of residence, with three for female and the rest for males.
The suit was jointly filed by the staff umbrella workers entity National Union of Educational Institutions of Uganda, Makarere University, and National Organisation of Trade Unions.
"The plaintiff members employment contract was breached by the defendant posting them to new departments but under different job descriptions which is contrary to the appointment and in contravention of the employment laws," the plaint reads in part.
Through Waluku, Mooli and Company Advocates, they contend that they learnt about management's move in an advert placed in the Daily Monitor newspaper dated February 15, 2014.
The notice contained a detailed outlay of outsourcing of catering services in the halls of residence.
Subsequently, the umbrella workers entity queried the administration, which promised to address their grievances.
The workers lament that they are redundant and unable to perform in the new postings, as they lack requisite professional knowledge, skills, and expertise in the new appointments.
Additionally, they are demanding that the university be condemned to costs of the suit, and an interest from the date of judgment until full payment.
Court documents show that in a letter dated May 19, 2014, the university's human resource office, communicated to the staff chairperson the decision on the fate of his colleagues.
Consequently, the staff union petitioned the Labour ministry in a letter dated June 13, 2014. The ministry responded five days later, with a promise to intervene.
Court has asked the administration to file its defence within 15 days from the date of receipt of the summons.
In the summons signed by the court's assistant registrar Eleanor Khainza, dated July 15, 2014, the administration has been cautioned to heed, lest judgement is passed without its input.
The office of the university secretary David Kahunda, has confirmed receipt of the court summons. New Vision has seen a copy of the summons received by the office, stamped and dated July 16, 2014.
The staff have also filed an application to block the administration from effecting its plans, pending the hearing and determination of the main suit.
Court is yet to set a hearing date.

Location : Hayden, ID 83835, USA
Purchased from: Fireplace Retail Store - Andy's Heating & Cooling
The stove runs great and is extremely easy to load. I do recommend using shoter than the 18 inch maximum logs that the stove can take. I tend to us 16 inch logs. The stove puts out tons of heat even without a Blower. I can get around 9-10 hours with a full load of seasoned Red Fir and it damped all the way down. Sucks a great draft with the new stainless liner I installed. Air controls are great and offer good control over output. The stove is also very easy to get started.
Pipe opening too far forward for most factory built chimneys (doesn't extend far enough back into fireplace for easy hookup, I had to do a lot of trimming and grunt work to get it to fit)- highly recommend going up to the 4100I if you want to do it yourself, or at least verify it will be an easy fit. Glass seems to get dirty fairly fast.
I recommend buying it WITHOUT a blower to start as it turns out I didn't end up needing it. I think the extra $200-250 expediture is not worth it. I'm heating 1800 square feet of my 2200 Square foot house with the stove and it does great.
Type of wood burned varies the burn time a lot. If you want long burns, Red Fir & Tamarack are best. If you want fast burns but high heat output, white fir or pine seems to work best.
I have pictures of the install if you are interested in doing it yourself including the installation of a stainless steel liner with insulation. e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
For those who e-mailed me before I apologize I had a hard drive crash and had to reload everything and lost most of my e-mails. Please e-mail me again for pictures.

|© UNICEF/HQ00-0373/Balaguer
|Adolescents work together in a multimedia workshop part of a UNICEF-assisted programme by the local NGO Cipo, to promote youth development and leadership in city neighbourhoods and communities in Salvador, Brazil.
Adolescents need relevant and reliable information to make informed decisions and to understand how the choices they make will affect their lives. This can come from a variety of sources, including parents and other family members, teachers, the mass media and other young people.
As adolescents develop, they are increasingly influenced by their peers and by adults other than their parents. They begin to explore their sexuality and to test themselves intellectually, creatively and socially through sports and other recreational activities.
A right to feel supported and safe
Young people's ideas are constantly being shaped and influenced by their environment. When adolescents have opportunities to learn and express themselves without fear, they are more likely to be engaged with their parents, peers and communities. They gain self-esteem and become positive role models.
National and local laws must also promote and support adolescents' rights and young people should participate in the development and monitoring of these laws. Adolescents who are denied opportunities for growth and feel trapped by circumstances may come into conflict with the law. How society responds to a young lawbreaker can make or break a young person's future.
"Punishment does not purify; if anything it only hardens children," said Mahatma Gandhi. Increasingly, communities are recognizing that incarcerating young people in facilities designed to punish rather than rehabilitate, can create embittered adults who lack the skills to be productive and responsible citizens when they are released.
A right to make a difference
Adolescents look for a sense of belonging as they mature. They learn, grow and thrive when they are given a wide range of opportunities to make an impact. The contributions adolescents make in their homes, schools and communities and through municipal councils, youth associations, media and international conferences can inspire and ignite lasting change. They can transform the world.
National and regional Youth Forums are increasingly giving youth a platform to identify and express their opinions about issues that affect their lives. Young people are able to analyze their current situation and present their visions and recommendations to leaders for future action in these fora.
Youth Parliaments, such as those in Cote d'Ivoire, Morocco and Senegal, provide an opportunity for young people to express their views to the government and to become partners in planning strategies for lasting change.
Finally, national youth opinion polls and referendums enable young people to voice their opinions and concerns to the government, media and general public. They can be important tools for mobilizing political support for adolescent programmes.
Knowledge that prevents, attitudes that respect, skills that protect .
Adolescents are more likely to build self-esteem, self-confidence and develop skills and capabilities when they are encouraged to express their opinions and feelings, be assertive and stand up for what they believe. They become better equipped to deal with abusive, threatening or unfair situations because they are in a better position to seek advice, exit a harmful situation when necessary, or cope creatively when they cannot leave.
If given a voice, young people can provide important information about conditions at work or at school and about risks to their own health and that of their community. They can provide suggestions for change that adults may not have considered and they play a vital role in researching, monitoring, evaluating and planning.

Ahmadinejad: Iran has no trust in the US administration
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that his country does not trust the US administration, but it will hold talks with it following a request from Iraqi people to that effect.
In a meeting with Syrian First Vice-President Farouk al-Shara, Ahmadinejad said that in response to the US repeated calls for talks with Iran on Iraqi issue, the Islamic Republic will do so provided that the interests of Iraqis and the entire Muslim world to be guaranteed.
According to Irna, the president said that Iran's nuclear program aims at producing energy for civilian use and Iran has made considerable progress in various fields of industry and is ready to share experience with other Islamic states.
Ahmadinejad welcomed the idea of the Middle East to be free from nuclear weapons and said that Iran also calls for nuclear disarmament of all the world powers.
