Indie wrestler meets retro badass zombie killer
Sabrina Kyle is an indie wrestler. This means she catapults off turnbuckles, high kicks people in the face, and performs flips and other gymnastic manoeuvres, all the while trying not to rip a carefully thought-out costume so that she can do it all over again. Kyle has found her calling in a sport that too often uses costume to trivialize its most talented female athletes. By sticking them in impractical (but sexy) outfits or with silly gimmicks, it can be nearly impossible for anyone but the smartest of marks to take them seriously.
Kyle started training six days a week when she was 15. She was the only girl at the time at the Living Legends Wrestling Academy, which was unfortunately common. The professional wrestling scene treats female wrestlers as a special attraction, most shows often featuring only one women's match a night. Kyle is all too familiar with this reality, as she has had to constantly compete for attention among the ever-growing number of female wrestlers in North America, all of whom are trying to be noticed in a sea of blonde hair, pink bras, and glitter.
But after eight years in the game, Kyle has started to come into her own. She knows what makes her different and persistently changes her style to stay above the fray. Now she's a fashion leader on the indie circuit as well as a household name in Southwestern Ontario and the Northern Midwestern US. Her gear is a significant part of her identity as a wrestler, along with her gritty personality and top-notch ability. WORN caught up with Kyle to ask her about her personal style and how she stays true to herself.
How would you describe your personal style?
Comfortable. I just wear whatever, I really do.
And how would you describe Sabrina Kyle's style?
I would say retro, '50s, zombie, horror. For a while I was doing the superhero thing, so everything was Harley Quinn or Batman-oriented. I used to wear these huge bell-bottoms. Now I'm doing more of a rockabilly thing, and my gimmick right now is like a little sailor outfit, and then I wear Frankenstein socks. I just try to bring a little bit of horror into it. I try to be unique—not like every other female wrestler out there.
Would you say your personal style affects Sabrina's at all?
[Shakes her head and laughs.] Night and day.
Where does your gear come from?
I design my outfits. I'll either be watching a TV show or reading a comic book, I'll see an outfit and I'll think, "Oh, I can turn that into wrestling gear!" So I will show my mom pictures of what I want. My mom's a seamstress and she does all the sewing. She makes my pad covers, everything.
Does Mom have much input?
My mom's very supportive of whatever I want to wear. Sometimes she will think that something will look better another way, and she'll just go ahead and make the change. I'll get my finished product and notice, "Okay there wasn't supposed to be black there," but it usually looks better.
Do you generally seek out fabrics or patterns you like, or does your mom take care of that?
My mom and I, we always go to Anne's Fabric Store in Hamilton. Their entire attic is all lycra and spandex. They know me; there's actually me and a couple other wrestlers that get our material there, and they give us discounts because they know we're wrestlers and we always put their name out there to other people. My mom usually goes with me and helps me pick it out. I usually know what I'm looking for when I go in, but sometimes I find some material that's totally crazy.
Is everything you wear made from scratch?
Once or twice I've bought spandex pants from Zellers or whatever and had them cut off or redone, and then had stuff added to them. But usually my Mom has patterns, and she just makes it.
Has she ever made you other clothes, or just your wrestling stuff?
Oh yeah, she's made me outfits. She made me a Batman dress out of a Batman sheet for my birthday last year.
When you're not making your costumes, are there any particular stores you like?
Value Village, Winners, Hot Topic. I have one outfit: it's black spandex with army print netting, and it has bell bottoms. But I got made fun of a lot, so I don't wear it anymore. People would rib me backstage at shows all the time.
Does that bug you?
When it's guys in the back, I would say no, since I've known them all since I was 15. But I do get upset when people post pictures online critiquing the way I look. People have called me the most ridiculous names—I weighed 220 pounds for a while, and trust me, people let me know that I weighed 220 pounds. I mean, it doesn't feel really nice when it happens all the time. But with the guys, I don't care about them. Most of them look like they're wearing diapers anyway.
Are there any fabrics or styles you avoid?
Vinyl or pleather. A lot of guys wear pleather, and it looks backyard. I would never wear basketball shorts—I wrestled in the US one time, and the girl I was wrestling showed up wearing basketball shorts and a Jeff Hardy t-shirt. I would never wear running shoes. If I absolutely had to, I would wear kick pads over top of them to make them look more legitimate.
Would you ever wear heels in the ring?
I wouldn't. I was managing the Amazing Darkstone for a while when I was hurt. The promoter wanted me to wear heels and dresses to every show—do you know how hard it is to walk around a wrestling ring in high heels? It's padding, right. I couldn't do anything. If I had to do a spot, I would take my heels off before I got in the ring and wear flats. If I couldn't wear flats, I wouldn't do the spot, 'cause I knew I could break my ankle. I have a hard enough time walking in heels as it is.
What's your favourite wrestling outfit?
Probably my Harley Quinn outfit. There are a lot of girls doing the comic book thing now though, so I don't wear it anymore. I wrestled one girl at a show, and then the next time I saw her she had almost identical gear as me. There's only a couple of us in Ontario… but I didn't say anything, I just changed what I was doing.
Does your wrestling gear make you more confident?
Yeah! I feel like a badass zombie killer. Laughs. It boosts my confidence. When I put my gear on and get in the ring, it's business time.
Costume is important to a wrestler's personality. How does it contribute to a gimmick?
It depends what you're doing, and if you're even doing a gimmick. Most girls don't actually do gimmicks; they just wear what they want to wear. One girl I wrestled would always wear bathing suit bottoms and a bathing suit top—but she didn't have a gimmick, and it didn't matter 'cause everyone knew her name. But if you're doing a vampire gimmick, then you're not going to wear bathing suit bottoms and a bathing suit top—you're going to make yourself look gothic. If I was trying to get over as a punk rocker, and I came out in a white bra and underwear… it makes no sense.
Male or female, who is your wrestling fashion influence?
Well, my favourite wrestler is Gangrel from the Brood, during the Attitude era—he did a vampire gimmick. And Trish Stratus. I think every girl says that, though—at least every girl from Toronto; she's the most influential diva ever. But no one in wrestling now influences my style. I was really confused for a while about what I wanted to do—I did a showgirl gimmick, in which I wore sapphires and sparkles all the time, I did the superhero thing for a long time. I was just so confused, and I wasn't getting noticed. If you want to be a female wrestler and you want to go somewhere, you need to have a gimmick, a look. You need people to say, "I remember that girl. That's the girl who wore that." Someone told me to just think of things I like and incorporate them into my gimmick and style in the ring. I really like B-rate horror movies and rockabilly music, and as far as fashion, I love Bettie Page—I wish I could dress like her every day. So I incorporated all that, and that's how I got where I am now.
What's your dream costume?
That's a hard one, because my mom already makes what I want her to make. For my next set of gear, I want to get a two-piece made. I've never worn a two-piece the entire time I've been wrestling. But I'd like a two-piece made with Gir from Invader Zim—like a zombie Gir, with a brain cup on the side.
Do you think going pro wrestling (WWE) changes the way girls dress in the ring?
Well, I don't actually watch WWE that much anymore. But Natalya, she wears Hart Foundation gear. Ever since day one in the WWE, she's worn gear. And Awesome Kong/Kharma, the gear that she wore in WWE, she's always worn that—but they made her wear makeup. When she was working indies, she wouldn't wear any—she was supposed to be mean, that was the gimmick. When they brought her into the WWE, that's the gimmick they wanted her to do, but they made her over, made her look like a giant Barbie doll. Same with Beth Phoenix; she was supposed to be this powerhouse, but they had to make her look feminine. I like her gear, I liked her one-piece… but before she left, she was wearing a skirt. And they make women into jokes. Like they put Beth Phoenix with Santino for the longest time, and she wasn't even doing anything. Don't get me wrong, I like Santino, but why would you put your most dominant female with this person to make her look like a joke? And with Natalya, they did a gimmick with her where she was farting all the time. It was so stupid. And Mickie James, I really didn't like that Laycool gimmick they were doing for a while, where they were calling her "Piggy James," 'cause she was a little bit bigger. That was part of the reason I liked Mickie James, because she was thicker, but she looked good and she could wrestle. Yet they played off that, and made fun of her for it. No wonder she left.
Sometimes promoters or other wrestlers will influence the choreography of a match. Do they ever dictate what you need to wear?
Now, a lot of the girls around here work hard to make themselves legitimate. Before it was all bras and panties or a bikini match. That's what it often comes down to: sex appeal. Actually, a promoter once tried to book me and Kaitlin Diemond in a lingerie match at an indie show. I emailed him back and told him I wasn't going to show up if that's what he wanted us to do. I would have shown up in Batman boxers and a t-shirt anyway. I had a gig in the States where they made me do a cowgirl gimmick for a while—my name was Scarlett Rose and I was a cowgirl. I wore jean shorts, tied my shirt up and wore a cowboy hat and everything. I did that for two or three shows. But when I had had enough, I told him I was leaving. I left for a year, and then I came back on my own terms. I said, "This is the gimmick I'm doing now, I'm not changing my name." He still wanted me to wear these little tiny outfits, because he thought it would get better ratings. But I'm not going to wear a bra and panties for a show that airs at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Not to mention, if I go out there and do that, I'm going to get heat from the other girls who are legitimate wrestlers that I look up to, like Portia Perez and Sara Del Rey. Their outfits allow fans to focus on their wrestling ability, and not their looks. And that's what we should be focusing on. I'm not Kelly Kelly. I'm Sabrina Kyle, and I'm going to wrestle the way I want to wrestle, and I'm going to wear what I want to wear.

From Wikiquote
Abstraction is the process or result of generalization by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon.
- I discovered the works of Euler and my perception of the nature of mathematics underwent a dramatic transformation. I was de-Bourbakized, stopped believing in sets, and was expelled from the Cantorian paradise. I still believe in abstraction, but now I know that one ends with abstraction, not starts with it. I learned that one has to adapt abstractions to reality and not the other way around. Mathematics stopped being a science of theories but reappeared to me as a science of numbers and shapes. ~ Alexander Stepanov
- An abstraction is one thing that represents several real things equally well. ~ Edsger W. Dijkstra

Una belleza ++++++++++++++++++
I used the ivoroid knob to replace the volume knob on an Alpha control pot. It looks more discreet and stylish than the old plastic top hat knob. Fits and works great.
Again, I like that Stew Mac has some knobs that are not the same old Gibby and Fender style knobs. I needed a pair of these for a guitar that will have a white chicken head knob on a Varitone selector. Thanks, Stew Mac
I have used these on a couple of guitars, they look great on white or antique white pearloid pickguards. And to the guys wishing for a position dot, just line up the screw where it will be on the top side, you can see it and know 'where' you are.
These are cheaper looking than I expected. They do not have ribs. What you see in photo is painted on to resemble ribbing. Screw was missing on one knob. Had to return them.
These look really great and unique! High quality.
This is a very unique knob with delicate line texture that can't find anywhere else! I put it on my D.I.Y Telecaster, it's looks very decent a elegant!
I bought these to put on my vintage look antique white Fender P Bass that I am putting together. They match the color perfectly. They are easy to put on and look great. I highly recommend these knobs.
these knobs look great and were very easy to drill out to fit solid shaft pots.
just wish they had a little red dot on them so you could see where they set for volume and tone.
I bought these because I wanted a lightweight small knob. They look gorgeous on the guitar, but one simple addition would make them perfect: a position dot on the face of the knob--I have to adjust the knob to find out what position it's in.

Thousands of people braved triple-digit heat across Merced County to celebrate America's birthday on Thursday.
Celebrations in Atwater and Gustine offered parades, craft fairs, music and a fireworks show for the Fourth of July.
Armando Romero of Newman stood under the shade of a tree with wife Leigh Ann and four of their five children as they waited for the Gustine parade to begin.
"I used to participate in the parade, the kids used to participate in the parade," the 42-year-old said. "We like to come out and celebrate the Fourth (and) just to be with everybody."
The Romeros, who once lived in Gustine, said this was their 15th parade. Leigh Ann Romero said the celebration is a good time to reunite with old neighbors and longtime friends.
The parade was sponsored by the Gustine Chamber of Commerce. Administrative assistant Judi Gandy, who was also the 2012 grand marshal, said 45 entries were registered to be part of the parade but some canceled because of the heat.
The parade typically draws 3,000 to 4,000 revelers, but Gandy said the heat cut those numbers.
"I expect half of that," she said just before the parade kicked off.
The Gustine parade dates back to 1911, four years after the town was founded, according to local historian Pat Snoke.
The city of Gustine adopted a Naval squadron based in Lemoore a number of years ago. About 35 sailors from the Flying Eagles VFA-122 marched in full regalia.
Command Master Chief Jim Cahill said the people of Gustine have treated his squadron to barbecues, so the service men and women support the parade.
"We just enjoy the relationship," Cahill said. "We appreciate everything the people of Gustine do salt of the earth kind of folks."
The Gustine Lions Club served as grand marshals. The parade was followed by an all-day fair in Henry Miller Park.
Across the county, in Atwater, the Fourth's festivities drew a larger crowd. However, organizers said the weather would likely hinder attendance.
"Twenty vendors dropped out due to the heat," organizer Greg McDaniel said, referring to the craft fair.
McDaniel estimated 30,000 people would watch the roughly 85 floats, horseback riders, car clubs and other parade entries. That number is down from last year.
Athena Gonzales, 39, of Atwater has been to a handful of parades.
"It's fun to come out to the parade with family and celebrate America's birthday," Gonzales said, adding she likes the floats carrying children and musicians.
Gonzales lives near Ralston Park, the site of the craft fair, so the heat was not a deterrent for her.
"Once I finally get tired," she said, "I go home and turn on the AC."
Livingston began its Fourth of July celebration early, with a carnival that began Thursday and continues through today at Memorial Park and Livingston High, near Park and Main streets.
A grand fireworks show is slated from 9:20 to 10 p.m. today at Memorial Park.
Organizers said the event is expected to draw attendees from all over the region, with the fireworks show typically attracting more than 6,000.
The carnival will include a raffle fund-raiser, with prizes including a car, computer electronics and other items. A variety of performers also are on hand to entertain the holiday weekend crowd.

There's been an all-out assault on soda and other high-calorie, sugary drinks lately, with the American Heart Association releasing its first sugar recommendations and largely blaming soda and other sugary drinks for the obesity crisis. The Institute of Medicine and National Research Council is taking things a step further, calling for a sugar tax on these belt-busting drinks. Sugar tax recommendations from nutrition, obesity, and economics experts are also due out next week.
"A tax will reduce energy intake for all age groups, and will produce reductions in weight and the risk of diabetes. Every scholar in the world knows this, except a few funded by the sugar industry," says Barry Popkin, PhD, author of The World Is Fat: The Fads, Trends, Policies, and Products That Are Fattening the Human Race, professor of nutrition and economics at University of North Carolina, and director of the UNC Interdisciplinary Obesity Center.

If funds become available to justify out right purchasing and wholelly own one of the old Gold Key(now old VU) characters I would like Turok myself.
I know he's deemed the most expensive, most marketable...but he's the coolest so it makes sense!!
"Freedom is the Right of ALL Sentient Beings" - Optimus Prime
I agree they should only bring them back if they could buy them outright, but I don't think it's even necessary. A title like Dr. Mirage could just as easily explore concepts of humanity and human relationships as the VH1 Solar, while avoiding the pitfalls of the "god like powers". (Que Hawkeyeps suggesting Erica Pierce in that role)
I do think we may see Phil down the line...but not for several years. Personally I think it would be cool if they revisited "The Visitor" but instead of being Sting from the future, it's Phil Seleski. He travels back and has adventures with his pre-powered self (who is unaware he actually is this new hero) as we all wait to see just how he gains these powers. If Warren Simons is out there, I'd be happy to plot it for you
VALIANT, Saga, Chew, Manhattan Projects, Revival, East of West, Locke & Key, Hawkeye, Young Avengers.
Harbinger is the jewel in the crown at Valiant. The other titles will probably drop off.
"Freedom is the Right of ALL Sentient Beings" - Optimus Prime
[QUOTE=BugsySig;16341169] (Que Hawkeyeps suggesting Erica Pierce in that role)QUOTE]
I already did in this very thread, but since you asked...Erica Pierce
Was thinking of getting the trades. How are X-O , Shadowman, Archer and Armstrong, and the other ones?
Pull list: Almost every Marvel book, Age of Bronze, Captain Midnight, some Dynamite & Image. I AM DC COMIC FREE!
XO is solid, way above average.
Archer&Armstrong is a team up book with some humor but enjoyable. Sets up some limited background of the Valiant U for a few characters
Shadowman, while I've enjoyed the first two it's still to early to call it yet. The first arc hasn't ended.
"Freedom is the Right of ALL Sentient Beings" - Optimus Prime
Books that need to debut this year:
Easy ones-Rai and Eternal Warrior
Difficult- Solar and Magnus
Once these are on the field, they will be firing on all engines...
Solar and Magnus aren't difficult...they are legally off the table, as is Turok. For this year or any other unless/until such a time as they(VEI) could buy the characters outright we should stick to talking about characters that we'd like to see and have a legit opportunity to appear/get their own book.

Whoa dance floor – The rooftop bar and happy hour are what set Clarendon Ballroom apart from other bars in the area. However, on the weekends the place is unbelievably crowded and the dance floor is overrun by fist pumping dance moves (think MTVs Jersey Shore). Stick to weekday happy hours on the rooftop. Avoid the weekend when it turns into a frat mixer.
Citysearch Editorial Review – This expansive Arlington club with a ballroom and bar downstairs and rooftop deck is rented for weddings and private events on some Saturdays and throughout the week, but on most weekends it's one of the Commonwealth's most popular nightclubs whether there's a DJ or a live band.

By Jay Taft RRSTAR.COM Posted Mar 17, 2011 @ 12:07 AM Members of the Colorado, Virginia Tech, Alabama and Saint Mary's men's basketball teams have been crying out loud for four days now. It's time to zip it. At the end of a season like this one, it was impossible to make everyone happy come NCAA Tournament selection time. Even if the field was bumped to 68. Why? Because other than Kansas and Ohio State, and maybe Duke and Notre Dame at times, there are few teams out there that strike fear in their opponents. There is instead a whole lot of mediocrity. It should make for an interesting bracket breakdown, however. RVC's Turner honored twice Rock Valley's Jeron Turner was named first-team All-Region for Region IV men's basketball. Turner led RVC in scoring (12.7 average), rebounds (9.3 average) blocked shots (16) and was tied for second in steals (28). The 6-foot-5 sophomore forward from Detroit also was named second-team All-Conference for the N4C. Heaslip slips in, excels Matt Heaslip (Guilford) was named the starting pitcher just minutes before the University of Illinois-Chicago's March 6 baseball game and earned his first win as a Flame in a 5-1 victory over Missouri. Heaslip (1-1), a junior transfer from Kankakee Community College, fired 113 pitches over 82/3 innings, allowing one run on seven hits while striking out three. Latella fifth at nationals Whitewater junior Adam Latella (Hononegah) earned All-America honors with a fifth-place finish at 197 pounds during the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships in Lacrosse, Wis. He went 4-2 in the tournament and 36-7 on the season. Nicholson lifts Regents Rockford College junior right-hander Jake Nicholson (Stillman Valley) was named NAC Pitcher of the Week after pitching shutout ball from the eighth inning until the 12th in Sunday's 8-5 win over Western New England College. He allowed one hit while striking out four. In two appearances, Nicholson has allowed three hits and one earned run in six innings with five strikeouts. The Regents return to action March 25, the start of three consecutive days of doubleheaders at Road Ranger Stadium. Freeman Earns All-MAC Honors Senior Marke Freeman, who led the Northern Illinois women's basketball team with 16.1 points and 2.5 steals a game, was voted to the All-Mid-American Conference second team. Freeman ranked in the league's top-10 in six categories. Folven does it again Minot State senior Caroline Folven (Byron) earned her second straight Dakota Athletic Conference postseason award, making first team all-conference after being placed on the third team last season. The 6-foot center is Minot State's seventh all-time leading scorer with 1,092 points.

Teaching ADD kids
The greatest challenge for a teacher is to understand that some of the disruptive behaviors that she may be observing in her students may not be deliberate but may be caused due an attention deficit disorder. Ignoring assignments and staring into blank space may not be signs of a slow child but may actually be caused by ADD
The ADD treatment may be a responsibility of the parents but a teacher plays a key role in the adjustments that the child makes with the environment and the manner in which he copes with the world and its requirements. Irrespective of the fact that the parents may be providing the best child ADHD treatment or using alternate herbal remedies for ADD, the teacher needs to adopt certain techniques to be able to help the ADD child cope with the curriculum.
Identifying an ADD child is the first task. Understanding the various symptoms of ADD and the manner in which they manifest themselves can go a long way in aiding the process. The next step is to devise ways and means of enabling the ADD child to flower and perform to his best.
Schools that have a separate program for managing ADD children are the best places for such children. Concepts like 'paired leaning', 'no time tests' and 'correct behavior for the day' are adopted by these schools and provided to teachers to aid them in their teaching.
These schools also give checklists of things to do and avoid so that the teachers are well equipped with classroom management strategies. Those who teach children with ADD should ensure that they consult experts like psychologists and special educationists to ensure that they are using the latest and most advanced techniques available for these special children.
A teacher needs to ensure that the curriculum is structured with little surprises. Tasks need to be broken down into manageable modules and timed tests should be avoided for ADD children. Paring ADD children has proven to be a good strategy for better performance.
Teacher should also keep in mind that repetition and constant reminders work well with their wards. Even though each ADD child is different and unique and a teacher will need to customize the techniques as she goes along, there are certain specific aspects that need to be kept in mind.
Too much excitement or distraction can prove to be harmful and shall mar the concentration capabilities of an ADD child even further. Techniques like eye contact, starting a question with the name of the ADD child and usage of imagery will lead to better success.
Handling emotional situations becomes a must for a teacher who teaches ADD. At no point in time should the teacher lose her cool and resort to angry words or frustrated actions.
Behavior modification techniques such as rewards can help. It should be noted that instant gratification is required for younger children though delayed rewards can be used with older ones. It is also important that the child understand what you are punishing him for. This is extremely important because many times the ADD child does not know what he is being punished for since his brain works in a different manner.
Make sure that you communicate with the parents and understand key achievements of the child at home to be able to modify your techniques as you go along.

About our Men's 15th Century Shirt
The Shift to joined hose not only affected braies, but also altered the shirt as well. Until this time, the shirt had been worn loose, just like the tunic, super-tunic, cotte and cotehardie it had accompanied over the centuries. Shirts had already tapered and shrunk with the introduction of fitted garments in the later 1300s, but pointing the hose and doublet directly together required an even shorter under garment that could be worn inside the hose.
We have based our shirt on several different artistic representations from the period 1410 - 1450, and have incorporated the key elements of a closer fit, small side-slits, longer sleeves that gather about the wrist and a stand up collar just the perfect height to show above the doublet collar (as shown in countless period illustrations). Made of a high quality linen that is lighter weight than our 14th c. men's shirts, our 15th c. shirt is designed specifically for our 15th century line, this shirt provides comfort and mobility, without causing any unflattering bunching or bulges beneath the doublet or hose. When worn with the doublet, the stand-up collar provides a finished, layering look that is archetypal of the period. When working about camp or on hot, sticky days, you can wear the shirt without the doublet and be both comfortable, and still have a distinctly 15th century look.

The software industry and developing countries
Valuable Effort
A recent report highlights some advantages as well challenges for implementing free software in developing countries.
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) recently released a flagship report called "Information Economy Report 2012: The Software Industry and Developing Countries". Over the years, I have been privileged to travel to a lot of "developing countries," first for Digital Equipment Corporation, and later under the auspices of various companies, NGOs, and agencies. At first, I talked a lot about the technical aspects of Free Software, but then I started thinking about the economic values and how people could either make money or save money with Free Software. I was happy to see that many of the arguments I have given for the use of FOSS appeared in this report, with real numbers to back up what I espoused.
I was also happy that several initiatives I have influenced over the years made it into the report – for example, the "Malaysian Public Sector Open Source Software Programme" launched in 2004. I traveled to Malaysia in 1993 to participate in developing that plan and reviewed several copies before it was delivered. The report also mentioned FOSSFA, the Free Software and Open Source Foundation for Africa, in whose events I have participated several times.

SABMiller Awards Ugandan Journalists
21 March 2012
Two Ugandan newspaper journalists have won prestigious awards sponsored by SABMiller, the parent company of Nile Breweries Limited (NBL), said a company statement.
Daniel Edyegu, 29, an upcountry reporter for the New Vision in Uganda; and Yasiin Mugerwa, 29, chief parliamentary reporter for Uganda's Daily Monitor; and Kenfrey Kiberenge, 26, a features writer with The Standard in Nairobi, emerged the winners after a rigorous six-month review and assessment of 29 locally nominated candidates.
They now join 11 previous David Astor award winners as career-long members of an expanding regional network of the most promising next-generation leading journalists in East Africa, supported by The David Astor Journalism Awards Trust, sponsored by SABMiller plc.
"These exciting young journalists are firmly committed to long-term careers in the profession and will clearly make great contributions to the future of journalism in East Africa," said Jim Meyer, the Trust's Executive Director. "They can now count on our full, continuing support to help them develop and achieve their potential."
The Trust is a UK charity founded in 2006 to promote, strengthen and support independent journalism in Africa. It honours the late, distinguished editor of The Observer newspaper in London from 1948 to 1975, who was a lifelong champion of African development, human rights and social justice causes.
Nile Breweries Limited in yet a similar initiative, recognised a media personality, whose work in journalism was regarded as exceptional.
Isabel Nakirya, a news reporter from NTV Uganda, emerged winner of the Nile Breweries Exceptional Journalism Award 2012.
"We aim to promote star journalism, through our annual award, inaugurated last year in Uganda," said Onapito-Ekomoloit Corporate Affairs Director Nile Breweries Limited.
Nile Breweries gave a cash prize of 1million shillings to Nakirya and a prestigious Exceptional Journalism Award.
Each award winner of the David Astor Awards 2012, will take part in an individually tailored professional development programme later this year, involving three-month work experience attachments with newspapers in the UK or South Africa. They also received nominal cash awards of $500.
Independent panels of East African and British judges chose this year's winners after interviewing short-listed finalists in Nairobi on 2nd March and in Kampala on 4th March.
The Nairobi judges were: Tabu Butagira, a senior reporter at the Daily Monitor, who was the first David Astor Journalism Award winner in Uganda in 2008; Joachim Buwembo, formerly editor of several Ugandan and Tanzanian newspapers, and now a Knight International Journalism Fellow training regional journalists; and Oliver Wright, Whitehall Editor of The Independent and former News Editor of The Times in London.
Judging the candidates in Kampala were: Michael Holman, former Africa Editor of the Financial Times from 1984 to 2002; Kwamchetsi Makokha, a former editor at The Standard and The Nation in Nairobi, now a media trainer, lecturer and consultant; and Oliver Wright.
The candidate-selection process began in May 2011 when all news media houses in the region, as well as local journalists' associations, media trainers, civil society organisations and former editors, were invited to nominate one candidate each for consideration.
Candidates were expected to be at an early stage in their career and had to meet certain key criteria, including solid commitment to the profession, continuing to work in Africa as their long-term career goal, and maintaining the highest ethical standards.
They also had to show some special talent and flair for journalism, and requisite qualities to succeed in the profession, such as critical thinking, courage, determination and drive.
After reviewing written applications from the nominees and examples of their published work, eight short-listed candidates were interviewed in Kenya and 11 in Uganda last September. Second-opinion interviews were conducted with the candidates' nominators, employers, and other local sources in October before choosing three finalists in each country.
The runners-up were Walter Menya at The Star and John Ngirachu at The Daily Nation in Kenya, and John Abimanyi at the Daily Monitor in Uganda. They each received $250 and will be offered a second chance to be considered for the awards next year.
SABMiller plc is the second largest brewer globally and a principal sponsor of this year's awards.

Do you mean just a nickname for Martin? Because I don't think just not liking Marty is good enough reason not to use Martin. If you don't like Marty, then just don't call him Marty. I know lots of kids (boys especially) who only go by their formal names, and it doesn't seem to be an issue. Or are you looking for an alternative name entirely? How about Marshall for an alternative?Mom to Alexander Patrick (10), Madelyn Esther (7), Genevieve Susan (2), and angel baby Theodore James (stillborn at 37 weeks on February 3, 2014).
Hoping to welcome another little one into our family in 2015.

I think Martin doesn't necessarily need a nickname, but I also wouldn't be surprised if an aunt or a friend called him Marty without your OK. And Martin might opt for Marty when he's older. So if Marty really makes you cringe maybe you need to forget Martin. If you could handle a teenager who is Marty at school, I say go for it.
Merit might be an alternate choice.
Also, Martin James could go by MJ if you have family members who just need a nn!

Enrollix manages enrollment of people to associations, communities, groups, classes, teams, magazines, and events like meetings, parties, etc. It collects detailed personal data of members and of their enrollments (with a possible fee), selects them according to any kind of filter, and produces a balance of the revenues which can be saved in a CSV (comma separated value) file. This file can be opened with a spreadsheet like Calc or Excel. It is possible to prepare different models of certificates (like a receipt or a certificate of membership) within the software and print them with the data of any member, with a possible progressive number (like a protocol) within it. It can print labels of addresses or lists of payments of the selected (filtered) members, and it's possible to save their postal addresses or all their personal data in a CSV file, or to copy their email addresses to the clipboard, to paste them into the recipient field of a new message. The personal data of each member may contain a picture, which is saved in a directory with the same name and path of the file in use. It is possible to export selected members from the file in use to another Enrollix file, or to import all the members from it. Each member and his or her enrollments are internally identified by a unique mark (a UID number).

11-11pm Fri & Sat
Neighborhoods: Camelback East
We feel cheated if time doesn't allow us to dine at Hillstone whenever we are in Phoenix. Their personal attention always makes us feel welcome, especially at the bar, and the food has been consistently excellent.
Couldn't order from the right side of the menu!! – On a special occasion, my friend and I expected to eat dinner at the outside seating area. We sat there had a couple of Mojitos which were not good, and then tried to order dinner. The server said we could only order from the left side of the menu. I was wanting the grilled chicken salad but nope, it was on the right side of the menu which was the wrong side according to my taste preferences. So instead of being able to order a nice dinner, I had tortilla soup which was too spicy for both of us and coleslaw~Yech...what a dinner. I had been thinking about my favorite grilled chicken salad most of the day but no I was sitting at a seat where I was not allowed to order it. We then had a dessert. What an odd and not fulfilling dining experience.
Fabulous courses and Service – One of the best places; Every plate, the consistency is impeccable - perfect for those last minute craves or romantic date night.
I will always come back - the only this I have to worry about is which plate do i want more...steak - fish - or chicken??!!
It doen't get any better – My wife and I rec'd a Gift Certificate for our wedding back in Feb. we used it last night 11/13/2010. It was the best dining experience we have ever had in Phoenix. Great People who took the best care, and I mean everyone at Houston's. Caatlyn took our name to seat us, but we chose to sit at the bar, Jill the bar tender didn't miss a beat nor did anyone. I had Prime Rib and my Wife had the Filet, both cook to perfection, flavor was to die for. My wife had a Salad, it was the best I've ever had, yes it was a Salad, try it, you'll feel the same.. Greatest place to dine..
Great dining experience – Last night we ate at Houstons before going to the movies. Every staff person in the restaurant was friendly, helpful and extremely polite and appropriate. They were happy and prompt to comply with any request we made. The food was delicious - best French Dip I have had - beef was outstanding and the fries were perfect.
Best Roast Chicken – I love the roast chicken...my dream is to make some as delicious as they do!
Best Ribs in town – The Service is top notch. The atmoshere is nice and dark, comfortable. The food is outstanding. If you love baby back ribs, Houstons has the best - get extra BBQ and the shoe string fries. They also have the best desert I have ever had, it's only on the menu in the winter months.... Apple Walnut Cobbler - it's to die for.
great place for lunch – good food...we do lunch here sometimes. good service. nice job!
Delicious!!!! – Best food, best service ever! Every time we go to Houston's, we are met with extremely friendly and professional staff. They definitely pride themselves on how their waitstaff looks and acts. The food is fabulous, and they have such a great variety. We always take our out of town friends here. Keep up the good work!

RE: Service,
Making allowances for the city, Phoenix, and the possibility that natives of the city simply don't have a skill-set conquerable to that you'd expect to find at Mc Donald's almost anywhere else, I would , nonetheless, expect that Houstons' , the organization, would put in place a management team that possesses some minimal knowledge with respect to taking an order, placing it on the table and following up to make certain that the eventual meal meets with a customer's approval.
Today, merely one example, around 3"30 P.M., I lunched at Houstons. The restaurant is located in Scottsdale, AZ. Near Lincoln Av. & Scottsdale Rd. Lucas was my "waiter." The dining experience was not rewarding.; that is, it was not rewarding in a positive way.
Openin gambit with waiter: "Good afternoon, please bring water and ice tea.
Tea arrives: no water. "Please may I have a glass of water." I ask again.
The water arrived but, during the interim, I discover spots on the silverware. It's not infrequent that I visit Houstons Scottsdale, and also not infrequent that I pick up a knife or fork with spots; and of course, that means dirty water may have been allowed to dry on eating utensils.
"Please, Luke, exchange the silverware." I ask. Two pieces are delivered in staggered sequence.
"Thank you. Yes, I'll take horseradish with my prime rib.. Also, for the baked potato: please put butter, etc. on the side."
The meal arrives without horseradish, and the condiments were served in an integrated form; that is, they were packed layered, all together in a single container. During that entire period, I did not see, from the table where I was sitting, one manager--thus leading me to believe that this is a management deficiency and poor Luke is a hapless employee doing his best without the benefit of supervision.
In Phoenix, during August, it was one hundred two degrees outdoors. Before leaving, I would have appreciated a re-fill, a second glass of water. Refills were offered-- when I was walking out the door.

Chenoa Maxwell - Photographer
New York, NY
Introspection: India the photography of Chenoa Maxwell - March 10 2011 - April 7 2011
I'm a voyeur. I like to watch. Or rather, I love to observe. Take in and capture the human experience- moments. Beauty, pain, their complex nature, evokes in me a desire to capture life~
Making my subjects their own icon. Life fascinates me. Humans inspire. Seeing is my meditation
Photography is my way of life. I travel the world and am drawn to recording life stories in natural light. Light is the essence of everything. Without it you cannot see. Light is energy. Light reveals. Light reflects. Light shines. And Light is power. The beauty of creating a composition and telling a story absorbs me. Its unpredictable nature is the unfolding of truth, capturing pure moment in time, now, that is the Allure.
Be sure to check out our press page for interviews, reviews and write-ups on Chenoa's solo exhibition and work.

While I was dazzled with the great new entries to the LEGO Star Wars line I previewed at their Toy Fair booth today, the biggest take-away for me — literally — was a slick promotional book and exclusive white Boba Fett LEGO mini-fig!
The book, which features a die-cut spot-varnish Vader cover, contains LEGO's current and coming releases for 2010, presented on heavy gloss cardstock pages. The binding is so tight that to photograph them I had to stick my fingers in the photos (apologies!).
Another exclusive, although I wasn't clear that it's limited to Toy Fair, is the white Boba Fett mini fig, appearing as the bounty hunter did before designers decided to give him the bang-up Empire deco we're familiar with. A great pair of items that is sure to have the LEGO Star Wars collectors calling their Toy Fair contacts!

It can work as a binary terminal that sends and receives data through a defined port (Point to Point mode) and displays them on separate views. Each view can be configured to display data in hexadecimal, decimal, octal, binary, and raw ASCII. It is also possible to perform I/O through terminal emulation views and define a secondary port and monitor the traffic between two external hosts using a "Y" cable (Snooper mode).
KMidimon monitors events coming from a MIDI external port or application via the ALSA sequencer, or Standard MIDI Files. It is especially useful if you want to debug MIDI software or your MIDI setup. It features a nice graphical user interface, customizable event filters and sequencer parameters, support for all MIDI messages and some ALSA messages, MIDI playback, and saving the recorded event list to a text file or SMF.
synaptiks is a KDE touchpad tool consisting of a system settings module for touchpad configuration and a tray application for touchpad management. The system settings module allows you to configure basic as well as advanced touchpad settings. The tray application can switch your touchpad on or off, either manually using a global shortcut, or automatically, if external mice are plugged or while the keyboard is active.
katimon is an unofficial ATI graphics card temperature monitor, fan regulator, and overclocking utility. It is a graphical front-end to the command-line aticonfig utility. Katimon monitors and controls supported ATI graphics cards. It can monitor temperature, fan speed, GPU speed and memory speed. It can automatically control fan speed by monitoring the temperature. It can also act as an overclocking utility for cards that support it. This utility only works with the proprietary fglrx driver.
KMid2 plays MIDI and karaoke files to hardware MIDI devices or software synthesizers. It supports playlists, MIDI mappers, tempo (speed) control, volume and pitch (transpose) controls, and configurable character encoding, font, and color for lyrics.

Hebe is a KDE 4.4 front-end GUI for the Hercules z/Arch emulator. It was designed to have a modern look, like the VirtualBox interface; there are no dials. Hebe provides two consoles, one for Hercules and one for the SCP (system control program), also known as the operating system. Input is automatically routed to the correct receiver. You can start as many instances of Hercules as your hardware can support. Hebe works best with Hercules 3.0.7.
Krcstat is a graphic replacement for the Gentoo rc-status and rc-update command line utilities. It can be used to check that all your services are active and generate an alert if they are not. You may easily create new runlevels and drag services from the Services pane into them. (Alternate runlevels may be specified by using the softlevel parameter on the kernel command line in Grub or Lilo.) Krcstat is a bit conservative and will not let you delete the boot or default runlevels or certain boot services deemed critical. To use its configuration features it must run as root; if you only want to monitor services, it can be run as a normal user.
