Roadtrippin' and Knittin'
Once upon a time in July 2012, I went on a week-long road trip with my mother to explore the Northern California coast. Aside from my shotgun navigation duties as we twisted along Hwys 1 and 101 all the way up to Oregon, I was also the residential knitter. After making over 150 baby hats over the past few years, I decided to treat myself and make a hat for myself. I didn't even own a handmade hat at this point, which is kind of ridiculous considering how many I've made for others.
So the night before we left, I picked out a cute beanie pattern. I also packed about 200 pony beads that have been lying around the craft closet for almost a decade to make the hat more unique. They were an assortment of sparkly, metallic, solid, star-shaped, and heart-shaped beads, and they really popped out against the darker purple yarn in the hat.
I used circular and double-pointed needles to make the hat. The only pattern difficulty was the fact that I had to thread the beads onto the yarn before I started knitting. I will admit that I didn't count the number of beads correctly when I first threaded them all on, so I had to break the yarn several times to thread extra beads. But otherwise, it was a very easy pattern and only took a few hours.
So this is what I was working on from San Francisco to Mendocino, California. I was just getting started when we pulled into beautiful Gualala on the first night,
but finished it right in time to wear around Mendocino.
Pattern adapted from Stitch 'n Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook, by Debbie Stoller (2003).
"Sparkle Hat" by Sonya Laska.
But we still had five more days of driving, and while the views were gorgeous and maps sometimes hard to juggle (we only used paper navigation--what's GPS?), my fingers were still restless. Fortunately, I packed enough supplies for a second project.
I presumed correctly that my first semester of junior year would be too busy to make a bunch of handmade holiday gifts, so I tried to get as many projects done during the summer. The road trip was a perfect time to make my sister's gift because she wouldn't accidentally notice me knitting it. So, with 100g of Patons Classic Wool in "Birds of Paradise," I started her cat hat in Mendocino, worked on it as we drove through the tallest trees in the world at Redwoods National and State Parks, Gold Beach and Ashland, Oregon, and down Hwy 5, finishing in the Davis area. I learned how to I-Cord in a tent in Jedidiah State Park, and fitted the cat ears on in a Red Bluff Motel 6 room that reeked of fresh paint on a blazing 103F night. So, Ruth, this hat was really a work of love. I traveled hundreds of miles to make it!
Pattern from Stich 'n Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook, by Debbie Stoller (2003).Pattern: "Adults-Only Kittyville Hat" by Kitty Schmidt
Not pictured: Pom-poms at the end of cords.
It has never been harder for me to keep a gift secret. My excitement had settled down by the time the holidays popped up six months later, and was quickly replaced by my sister's upon her opening it up. I guess I'd call this a success! :)
Thanks for roadtripping with me! Until next time,
Happy Crafting!!

Male: Over 7,000 supporters of the opposition
MDP party of ousted President Mohammed Nasheed today assembled
here in a show of strength, demanding that the new regime
announce a date for polls under an India-brokered deal.
Though the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) had initially
planned a massive protest rally today against the new regime
headed by President Mohammed Waheed Hassan, the party
restricted it to a political gathering at the `Tsunami
Monument` after India asked both sides to maintain restraint.
Hoara Ibbe, who was Under Secretary at the President`s
Office during Nasheed`s tenure, addressed the gathering,
saying that the protest would continue till Hassan announced a
date for Presidential polls.
Other speakers asked 59-year-old Hassan to resign
immediately and pave the way for formation of an interim
government. They also demanded "cleaning up" of judiciary.
Ibrahim Ismail, who was the first chairperson of MDP,
criticised Hassan`s government, calling it "unconstitutional"
and asked it to give a date for the elections.
Nasheed`s MDP had earlier said that it was grateful to
India for its "timely intervention" to help resolve the
political impasse here, a view shared by the new regime as
"It has been a positive movement, a forward movement.
India`s role was very much important in ensuring that
political and democratic process is on," Ibrahim Hussein Zaki,
a senior MDP leader and close aide of Nasheed, told PTI here.
"We are grateful to India for the timely intervention,"
Zaki, the then Special Envoy to Nasheed, said.
New Maldivian President Hassan too thanked India for its
efforts aimed at ending the political crisis here.
Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai, who was here on a
two-day visit, had met all stakeholders here, including Hassan
and Nasheed, and helped the government to come out with a
roadmap to ease the political crisis triggered by the last
week resignation of Nasheed in what he claimed was a coup
Mathai yesterday announced that consequent to his
discussions all the parties had agreed on a formulation to get
the country out of the crisis.
He had said there was a degree of convergence on how
matters should be taken forward and the parties agreed to the
need for maintenance of Constitutional order.
Under the agreed formulation, the government of national
unity would hold discussions with all relevant parties to
conduct elections by an early date.
It would work towards the conditions that would permit
such elections to take place, including any necessary
Constitutional amendments, Mathai had said.

Tips to make your holiday Regret-LESS
The Greatest gift we can give to the world is to be true to ourselves- our desires, our wishes, and our feelings.
Howard Thurman once said, "Don't worry about what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive."
This means staying true to what your hearts desires— feeling good in your own skin.
What does that mean to you? It isn't necessarily The "Madison Avenue" vision of perfection.
My goal is to help people find their own visions. It is about YOU discovering what YOU want.
Here are some negative roadblock thoughts:
-Food cravings mean I have no self control?
-I can't eat just one
-I need to eat when I feel stressed
Instead of having these thoughts–Here are some tips to stay on track during the holiday festivities:
Let's talk about activity first, notice I don't say exercise.
- First thing in the morning, do 10 minutes of movement (((I like to do Chi kung exercises, they increase my metabolism and balance my mind at the same time.)))
- About three times a week, I add a 20 minute program to that 10 minutes which include one minute exercise that will focus on certain muscle groups. (( For example one minute of biceps, triceps, quads, hamstrings…to fill in that time. ))
Why is this Morning Activity important?
- Your body is in a restful state and by doing this you are getting your metabolism pumped up.
- Studies have shown when you do this you will stick to it because we all know our good intentions. Lunchtime-friends, after work-helping your kids with homework
- When you get your heart rate going you release endorphins which will get you in a better mood that can last all day
And for nutrition:
- Food cravings may mean you are missing some nutrients and your body is craving it. It may also mean emotionally you are feeling low.
Stay on your vitamin program. The vitalizer from Shaklee takes the guess work out of what to take and will it work. Great place to start. It will also put you in a better mood and help you sleep better (As my friend Wendy will attest to)
- Eat a protein rich breakfast within one hour of waking up. ((I like to do the Cinch shake so I can do the next thing.))
So for all you party animals– start your day off with these EASY tips and it will keep you on the right track and move you quicker toward your NEW YEARS INTENTIONS!!
Want help?!?
I lead a weekly phone call with people who are implementing changes in their lives . The support of a group really helps!

Graham crackers are one of those classic snacks that I never think of unless I want a s'more. Seriously, there are quite a few things that everyone else seems to eat that are not in my lexicon'o food. In light of this, I'm not quite sure what inspired my hankering for some good old fashioned crackers. Whatever the case, I set out to make them.
And totally failed.
Now, my interpretation of failure is different than yours might be. See, the main ingredient flip was in the flour. I ran out of the last tiny bit of brown rice flour and subbed in buckwheat flour. Don't let the name fool you, it's gluten free. It's also dark brown and sort of makes everything look like dirt. It also has an earthy taste to it that makes some people think it tastes like dirt. Great start. Add to the fact that I'm LAZY and couldn't be fucked to properly roll them out and you have one recipe that has all the makings of graham crackers but is certainly not.
Now my first bite made me cringe a bit. It wasn't at all what I was expecting. Hilariously, I made a friend try them. At first she was intimidated to try them, then absolutely scared after she took a bite and let out a half-terrified "Ew!" Thanks, Julie. However, these grew on me in ways I couldn't have imagined. For one, I'm not fond of the graham cracker taste, to a point that I refuse to use it as pie crust and scrape it off. But after you get used to the buckwheat, it allows you to enjoy the sweetness of the honey and sugar without being overwhelmingly sweet.
Also, by not making these cracker-thin, they turned out soft with a melt-in-your-mouth crumb feel that is so addicting for me- very similar to a scone. I think this might be a base for an amazing cookie bar or something. Either way, my fail probably turned out for the best, since this is yet another recipe I wanted to make that I figured out later I'm not quite fond of. Such is life.
If you'd like to try your hand at the actual recipe, you can find it here. If you're looking for something a bit different, I originally wanted to make this graham cracker recipe, but didn't have all the ingredients. Or you can do it my way, by not following a recipe and ending up better for it.
Just saying.

Mars died today...in 1999
Mars? Forrest Edward Mars, that is...the chocolate bar maker.
American candy manufacturer who led Mars Inc., one of the world's largest confectionery companies. After helping to develop the Milky Way bar for his father's candy-making business, he established his own company in Europe in the 1930s, successfully marketing a version of Milky Way called the Mars Bar; he went on to create M&Ms. When he merged his confectionery firm with father's (1964), it became the world's largest candy manufacturer. Details of Mars' life, including his birthday, are a closely guarded corporate secret within Mars Inc., a secretive company.

Since I have been totally down I have been wearing simple outfits with as little make-up and jewelries as possible as any scent make me sneeze and I really don't need any form of load weighing me down. I have also been exercising more and my bone has been aching me. So lets just say I feel like crap but it's all good, this cup would pass over me.
The outfit was basically a white and black dress and a newly acquired blazer ( I totally have a thing for black blazers). See the snap shots below:
What do you guys think? this is officially the longest it has taken me to write a post and take snapshots, I kept sneezing all through.

Defenders of Stormfast
Located across the Hindrun Sea, Tarmeria is the ancestral homeland of the Iron People. Affectionately referred to as Fermasha by its inhabitants, the Old Country is the location of Brankeep, the seat of the Tarmerian Empire. It is also the location of Wharfstead and Stonefist.
Real-World Basis
The political system of Tarmeria is based closely off of English feudalism in the Late Middle Ages, but uses more modern military terminology. It's imperial ideology, however, is more reminiscent of early 17th century English colonialism. Religiously, it is most similar to
the Christian Church during the High Medieval era.
Tarmeria is pronounced tar-MEE-ree-uh, with a short A sound, like in par, two long E sounds, like in seed, and a short U sound, like in pump. It is derived from the Gaulish "are-mori," meaning "on the sea," given its prowess as a naval power. It's Gaulish root is that of Armorica, the Gaulish name for the region that is now Brittany.
Fermasha is pronounced fuhr-MAW-shuh, with a short U sound, like in purr, a short A sound, like in raw, and a short U sound, like in dumb. It is derived from the Russian "fier," meaning iron, and the Bosnian "majka," meaning mother. Therefore, it literally means "iron mother."

I read a lot of stories about yoga. I read a lot of teacher bios. I try to never take a class without reading about the teacher. These yoga stories and teacher bios all seem to contain similar elements. They almost all begin with the "how I came to yoga" description. They also sound surprisingly familiar at times, and the story was reiterated by Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat, Pray, Love.
The story is this: I went to my first yoga class for __________ reason. Sometimes, it is for exercise, sometimes it is for anxiety or depression, sometimes it is because someone forced you to go. I struggled through my first yoga class. I fell a lot. Downward facing dog felt like it was going to kill me. But I made it through the class! Then came savasana – corpse pose. And that is when I felt the shift. That is when I felt the yoga bliss!
Sound familiar?
I am not, in any way, deriding this. In many ways, my story is very similar. Except the last part – the bliss part. I feel as though I may have missed out. I think I remember my first yoga class, but that was not when I started doing yoga. I picked it up again in my sister-in-law's living room, often with my 6-month-old nephew crawling under us while we were doing Downward facing dog (that will force you to stay in the pose). I practiced on my own, with books and sometimes friends, when I was in college and the following year. I started attending classes in a chiropractor's office in Tucson before I finally worked up the courage to go to a real class in a real studio.
I do not remember my first moment of yoga bliss. I do not remember the first time everything became peace.
I eventually started attending those classes regularly. And that's when I finally started to notice a difference. Over the years, there have been many moments of savasana relaxation, many moments of meditative contentment, and many moments that remind me why I return to the mat year after year. This blog was born in one of those moments, though arguably, it was not so peaceful if I was thinking during it, but alas, I seem to live in my head. That is a post for another day.
I guess what I am trying to say is not everyone has that one first moment. Not everyone goes to class once, struggles, and then ends in a state of nirvana. In fact, I doubt very many people actually do. And that is absolutely fine! Those moments still creep up on us, and they often happen when we least expect them. In many ways, that is what makes them so peaceful, so perfect. They surprise us and remind us the peace is the truth, and our racing minds are just in the way.
We all come to yoga for different reasons. We all continue practicing for different reasons. My nephew is now 10, and quickly moving toward 11. These ten years have changed me in ways I could not have even begun to imagine during those early days of learning. My life has taken paths I had no idea were even possible back then. And there have been many moments of peace throughout, but no, I cannot remember the first one.
But yoga has stuck with me. Sometimes it is more front-and-center in my life, and other times my practice takes a back seat. Sometimes I think about it more than I practice. Sometimes I can carry yoga with me in each moment, and other times I erupt in fury and stress-induced stomach pains. But yoga is always there. I always know it is the truth and the undercurrent of who we are and who I am.
And it is those moments of peace and contentment that keep us coming back. We have to know they exist. We have to know there is some benefit deeper than we ever thought possible. Those moments may not happen during our first savasana. They may not happen during our first year of practice. But they happen. And over time, they happen more often – when we take the time to practice. And then they begin to happen off the mat as well.
And eventually they happen for more than a moment at a time. And that is the real practice of yoga.
Do you remember your first moment of peace and contentment? Do they happen often? Can you take them off the mat?

i was just listening to Graham Cooke in truck on way home from mom's. He said " God doesn't test us to fail us. He tests us to deepen our Faith". This got me thinking.
i was just at mom's house and as you can see not for long. She likes to yell at me. As i was at the door i heard " it is easy to show love to those who love you" my flesh wanted to leave, The Spirit said "Seek God for strength." Well my flesh won. This is why i prayed that prayer on warring flesh, a post or two ago.
My mom apologized for yelling, and i said "that's ok i am going to live with you i better get use to it". Hum just realized wrong answer. Forgive me Lord for i should speak life not death.
Now that i heard what Graham said i see the yelling of mom as testing. How can God show He will give what is needed for situation if we do not ask Him and yield to His saying "seek God for strength to love those that aren't so nice and friendly to you?
Father Prepare my heart to love my mother. To honor her above myself. i look at all that You could accomplish through our living together, but i am not helping in preparing the way. i must look to only You Lord, and Pray as You told me to. The preparing and reading of our hearts to move in together.
Loving someone i keep finding out is one of the hardest things to do. i think that is why God has it as First and only True commandment. Love God love others. WE CAN'T WITHOUT GOD. God knows this, and wants us to come to Him. Wants us to Bless others with the Love He gives us. i know for myself that if i do not seek God when with my mom, or others for that matter. We both wind up feeling, not so good about the visit. When we know, that we know ,that we can't do something. Then we ask for help from one who does know. This is humbling. God Exalts the humble.
i want to bring Honor and Glory to You Lord. Use me to show Your Love to her. Strengthen me..
i just was given a glimpse of why Jesus didn't struggle as much as us with sin. When you are loving people exalting them above yourself, you have no time to get in trouble. Thank You Jesus for showing us the Way, Truth, and Life. Teach me to Love as You Loved. Teach me to pick up my cross and carry it daily in Loving You. May i not boast in my riches but rather in all my weakness'. May i have them ever before me. To Exalt You Lord. Father may i have Wisdom to understand.
www.paid4u.TV Father may we all reap greater harvests than this movie did. (multi-millions of people see) We may not look at Mel Gibson and judge or condemn. Father You Provided the money and creativity to bring forth Your message of Salvation and LOVE FOR MANKIND. Using modern-day media and Mel Gibson. Praise God He is Worthy.

Aww, Emma Watson is too busy to have a boyfriend
Harry Potter's Emma Watson gets on well with rocker George Craig but they're too busy to be together
Harry Potter beauty Emma Watson was rumoured to be dating One Night Only rocker George Craig after she appeared in his video Say You Don't Want It, but apparently their hectic schedules got in the way. He revealed: "I'm a single man. We really fancy each other but are just good friends. "We're not boyfriend and girlfriend. We both live such busy lifestyles.
"In an ideal world, for me anyway, it would be great if we could be together but we can't. "I'm doing my thing and she's doing hers. Maybe if the situation changed we might be together." Though he's unhappy at his single status, George – who first met Emma when they shot a modelling campaign for Burberry together - insists he values the actress' friendship more than anything. He added: "We went to Glastonbury together and there was a lot of chemistry between us.
"We like each other a lot and I have a lot of respect for her. "She's an amazing person and all that matters to me is I don't lose her as a friend." Aww, sort it out you two!

It's a new year. School is back in session. Dance season has picked back up. Life is getting busy again for me – and so many of you. Each month in my homeschool, I assign my 5th grader a "required" reading list. This list consists of books I want her to read rather than books she's choosing for herself. Some of the books come from various homeschool catalogs and/or websites. Some come from "100 books every child MUST read" types of lists. Others are favorites from my childhood or my days of teaching elementary school. I choose books from several different genres for her to read so she broadens her scope of reading.
I've decided to make one of these lists for myself. I'd like to do this each month along with my fifth grader to broaden my own horizons. I am a lover of fiction. I don't typically enjoy non-fiction books. I never pick up a book of poetry to read. Ever. Unless I'm reading an old favorite to my daughter, I tend to find the classics a little slow going. However, if I'm going to challenge her to broaden her horizons, I should do the same. So, here goes…
Required Reading for Momma
Just a note… My genres are a bit different than those I assign for my daughter, but I have 6 categories like she does.
Non-Fiction: One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp ~ This book goes along with my word for the year – thrive. If I can count the blessings in my everyday, I can thrive in 2014!
Fiction: Divergent series by Veronica Roth ~ I'm reading these with my high-schooler before the movie comes out. He read the first one last year, and received the entire series for Christmas. If this series is anything like Hunger Games, I may beat my high-schooler to the end of the book.
Historical Fiction: The Dancing Master by Julie Klassen ~ I'm currently reading this one for a review. I thoroughly enjoy historical fiction, and this one has started out well.
Parenting: The Ministry of Motherhood: Following Christ's Example in Reaching the Hearts of Our Children by Sally Clarkson ~ It's time to refocus my energy on the things that matter the most!
Blogging Help: How to Blog for Profit Without Selling Your Soul by Ruth Soukup ~ I'm really looking forward to reading this book. I'm actually reading it right now as part of a book club with other bloggers. It's great being able to discuss the book with like-minded ladies.
Classic: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee ~ This is a favorite of mine from high school. My high schooler had to read it this year, and it has made me want to reread it. I hope it's even better the second time around!
Do you have a reading list for the upcoming year? What's on it?

Motorsports gets a home
By Jason Remilard
02/10/2008- The Republican
It's not quite like building a baseball diamond in a cornfield, but the Sports Car Club of America hopes its new Palmer Motorsports Park has the same "if you build it, they will come" effect.
For years, the members of the club's New England region have competed with other sports car organizations for track time at road courses such as Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Conn., and New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, N.H. The cost of renting these venues has become steeper by the year, leading the club to a search for a home of its own.
Beginning in 2010, Palmer Motorsports Park will be that place.
Amateur road racers from around New England are expected to take their turns around the proposed 2.14-mile circuit off West Ware Road. The park recently was given final approval in December by the Palmer Planning Board, and developers expect to spend up to $10 million preparing the 658-acre site located on Whiskey Hill in the village of Thorndike.
"I'm thrilled. I think Palmer is going to be a great town to work with," said Richard E. Patullo, of Hampden, project director of NER Investments. "It's very centrally located for our New England membership."
The members of the Sports Car Club of America's New England group are true "weekend warriors" in every sense of the term. These are amateur racers who simply want to work on their cars and see what they can do on the track. The club attracts all levels of experience and skill.
"It's a hobby, and most people prepare their own cars, while some rent cars for ride-and-drive programs," Patullo said. "Sometimes our sport is a bit of a secret. People see the big races on TV, but they don't know how to get involved with it on a club level."
The cars aren't all the same, either.
Some are your everyday street cars with minimal modifications, while others are more exotic and resemble smaller open-wheel Indy cars.
"You can pretty much run in the car you drive to work," said Harold Denham, the head of the region's rallycross and road rally programs. "It's a fairly inexpensive sport, but you can go crazy on it."
Sports car racing is a true test of one's racing ability. There's a reason most of NASCAR's big guns dread the season's two road races. It's about more than turning left for 500 miles. A few right turns are required, and the terrain isn't always flat.
This course will be designed to resemble a winding country road. The track, which will be about 40 feet wide, will have its share of rolling hills. Drivers will often go from 120 mph in the straight-aways to 45 in the curves.
"It's fun because it's hard," said Patullo, who drives a Mazda when he races. "The variety of turns and the variety of speeds are what make it a challenge."

The first "beta" was a Community Technology Preview in May, but now Expression Web Designer (AKA Quartz) has arrived as a full fledged Beta 1 with a name change as Microsoft CVP S. "Soma" Somasegar recounts at his weblog yesterday:
Earlier today, the team signed off on Beta1 for Expression Web (formerly known as Expression Web Designer) which provides you with a rich set of tools to build high quality, standards-based web sites.
You can download this beta from Expression Web and send us any feedback that you have on this.
The beta requires the .NET 2.0 framework before you can play.
Expression Web with Office SharePoint Designer 2007 is supposed to be the replacement for retiring FrontPage, but it looks like it is shrugging off most of the load as Steve Bryant reports:
One, the WYSIWYG web design software no longer supports the creation of FrontPage files. And two, Microsoft is changing the name from the incredibly boring "Expression Web Designer" to the incredibly opaque "Expression Web."
Regarding the removal of FrontPage support, product manager Wayne Smith said MS has "removed from the product is all the entry points that allow people to create new things with FrontPage tech. But the editing tools remain."
You can still render FrontPage pages and edit them, but there are no mechanisms to create new FrontPage instances.
That may be OK, but as I mentioned previously, while FrontPage got no respect, it continues to be ubiquitous in both Windows and non-Windows Web hosting.
Joris Evers at CNET reports that 'Critical' megapatch sews up 10 holes in IE:
Microsoft on Tuesday released a "critical" Internet Explorer update that fixes 10 vulnerabilities in the Web browser, including a high-profile bug that is already being used in cyberattacks.
The Redmond, Wash., software giant sent out the IE megafix as part of its monthly Patch Tuesday cycle of bulletins. In addition, Microsoft delivered two bulletins for "critical" Windows flaws, one for an "important" vulnerability in Outlook Express and one for a "moderate" bug in a component of FrontPage and SharePoint.
"This patch release is a big one with lots of aftershocks," said Jonathan Bitle, a product manager at security company Qualys. "Three of the five updates, the IE and Windows updates, are especially critical as they take advantage of inexperienced users…Although a worm epidemic is unlikely, users can be easily enticed to visit malicious Web pages."
Eight of the 10 vulnerabilities repaired by the IE update could be abused to gain complete control over a Windows computer running vulnerable versions of the Web browser. In all instances, an attacker would have to create a malicious Web site and trick people into visiting that site to hook into a PC, Microsoft said in its Security Bulletin MS06-013.
The 8 drive-by exploits included the one reported last month where hacked everyday web sites were being used as the shadowy "malicious web sites" Microsoft seems to be so fond of warning against.
Also in the security update for IE is the nonsecurity change in the handling of ActiveX controls mandated by Microsoft's patent infringement case with Eolas that had been previously released as a "voluntary patch." It's a little more complicated than that, because Microsoft is also providing a "compatibility patch" that disables the Eolas update until June for developers that are still working to finish modifying corporate applications. Not unexpectedly, Eolas said last month that it would have been simpler just to pay them. David Berlind observes that the extra user clicks that may be required for some ActiveX controls puts Firefox one up on Internet Explorer because Eolas is not pursuing the open source browser.
In line with Monday's rumor, Microsoft has formally branded the upcoming release of Office that had been codenamed "Office 12″ as "Office 2007″. The press release is here along with Microsoft Word documents with details on the various packages (SKUs) to be offered, and the estimated retail pricing.
Some items of note:
FrontPage is replaced by Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 and Microsoft Expression Web Designer which are both said to be based on FrontPage technologies. SharePoint Designer is new and we have previously discussed the Expression products here. I won't wax nostalgic about the history of FrontPage except to say that I always found it a useful web site file manager and WYSIWYG HTML editor despite its quirks and the disdain of geeks who like to program close to the metal. Even today, most non-Microsoft web hosting packages offer FrontPage support which reflects its popularity and how it managed to retain its cross platform heritage over the years. We'll have to see how the new tools work out, but my prejudice is against SharePoint for anything except intranet use in an all Microsoft shop, so I expect that my general preference would be Web Designer.
Groove joins Office with the announcement of Microsoft Office Groove 2007, Microsoft Office Groove Server 2007, and Microsoft Office Groove Enterprise Services for hosted deployments. All are only available through volume licensing which seems interesting given that Groove's original claim to fame was small group collaboration through P2P sharing. There's also a new Office Live Groove subscription service for SMBs. That would spice up the rather mundane Office Live story.
New Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Project Portfolio Server 2007. Details are sparse, but presumably these are respectively central servers for InfoPath clients and the project portfolio management technology acquired last year with UMT.
New Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access A web based version of Microsoft's business IM client.
New Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and an Enterprise CAL. These new versions have everything but the kitchen sink.
There's lots to chew on here and I expect a wave of punditry over the next few days.
Update: Jay Greene at BusinessWeek online says that the release of Office 2007 has slipped six to eight weeks to the 4th quarter.
Update: If you don't want to download Microsoft Word documents, there is now an ordinary web page rendition of the pricing and a comparison chart of the various packages.
ICRA, the Internet Content Rating Association, has announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with Microsoft Corporation enabling Microsoft to utilize the ICRA system in a range of products such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Windows and Microsoft FrontPage.
Separately, Microsoft has made a financial contribution to ICRA in support of the ongoing work of the organization, including development of ICRA's world-leading labeling system, a new vocabulary better able to meet the challenge of digital convergence, and continued outreach based on ICRA's commercial value proposition.
Hemanshu Nigam, Microsoft's Director for Child Safe Computing in Windows Client, stated:
"We are pleased to have completed this inbound licensing agreement with ICRA. Microsoft supports ICRA's ongoing work as part of our own efforts to help provide children and their trusted guardians with a safer and more secure computing environment."
ICRA encourages digital media providers to describe their content using machine-understandable labels that empower Internet and digital content users to customize their online experience through installation and use of a filter set to each user's personal preferences. In addition to free web filters — such as ICRAplus — ICRA labels can also be read by other filtering tools, Internet browsers and search engines.
More details at http://www.icra.org/ but the net is that the ICRA provides a mechanism for RDF tagging web content for parental control purposes and Microsoft has licensed the right to incorporate/scan the tags in their browsers, Client OS, and their Office Web authoring tool, FrontPage. Presumably this would all take place in the IE7, Windows Vista, and Office 12 timeframes or later. No mention of Visual Studio, but undoubtedly it is included too.

What did I do in the mean time?
Lots and lots of quilting and embroidery. First I wanted to finish my homespun quilt. Why such a hurry? Last Saturday 29th of november I had a reunion "New England" with Laura, Henk, Joke, Marjoke and Dicky. It was so good to see everybody and see how everybody is doing with her projects. I bought the homespuns during my New England trip.
Laura and Joke were working at at tablerunner for Susan (in New England), I think it's at least 3 metres long.
|Dinner is prepared by Henk and Laura for us.
|Joke made Bitterkoekjes pudding. "Scrumptious" as Mary from the Great British Bake Off would say.
Homespun fabric is fabric that is woven in a style similar to the fabrics that primitive women used when weaving their own fabrics at home. Thus the name "homespun" was phrased.
|Marjoke is also working at a X-mas quilt.
|As promised made for Dicky.
While today's homespuns are usually manufactured in factories, the unique style of weaving colored threads together to form a pattern still remains the primary characteristic of all homespuns. A homespun fabric is usually all cotton and can be identified by the fact that there is no front or back to the fabric. The design is in the color of the threads so both sides are the same. True homespuns are always either plaid, stripe or solid.

Every year, International Women's Day (March 8) provides an opportunity for ad agencies around the world to devote their creative energies to work highlighting female empowerment. Until recently, many of the campaigns around this century-old event were homegrown projects from agencies or pro bono work for charity or NGO clients.
But this year sees a slew of projects from big-name brands eager to demonstrate their commitment to gender equality. Some, including Nike and Benetton, are also going global with campaigns originating from countries including India, Russia, Turkey and the Middle East.
Nike Women has launched three films, in the Middle East, Russia and Turkey, that challenge gender stereotypes in a style tailored to that particular region. The films are part of campaigns that launched locally last month which Nike believes will resonate globally. They were created simultaneously by W&K Amsterdam with the same objective -- to encourage and inspire women to get more active despite the barriers to doing so.
The Russian ad (seen above) begins with a little girl getting up on stage in a pretty dress to sing a traditional well-known Russian song about what girls are "made of." However, in this film, there's a twist, as some of Russia's well-known female athletes appear and inspire the girl to start singing about girls being made of "iron" and "punches and bruises."
The Middle East region ad centers around the question "What will they say about you?" and shows women out exercising, some in traditional Arab dress, defying stares of disapproval.
The Turkish film is set to Beyonce's "Run the World (Girls)" and also challenges gender stereotypes. It sees women breaking out of traditional poses to become athletes, and contrasts stereotypes such as "our hands are delicate and fragile" with footage, for example, of a female athlete lifting weights.
From India, Benetton's #UnitedByHalf campaign takes aim at men. India is Benetton's biggest market outside Italy, and the brand is particularly popular among men. The film seeks to persuade them to recognize women as equal partners. Like the Nike ads, it's a local campaign that Benetton is releasing globally.
The spot, by Creativeland Asia, features a montage of different women depicted in powerful positions: a group of older ladies bowling in saris, a girl arm wrestling a boy, a woman taking the initiative in bed, a pregnant professional working at her laptop while her husband minds their child, and women helping their partners move furniture or change a tire.
This year International Women's Day also sees several high-profile campaigns from the corporate world, keen to highlight its diversity credentials. Asset management firm State Street Global Advisors commissioned "The Fearless Girl," a defiant, bronze statue of a girl, to face down Wall Street's "Charging Bull" sculpture in the financial district. Conceived by McCann New York, it marks State Street's initiative urging the 3,500-plus companies in which it invests for its clients to increase the number of women on their corporate boards.
Meanwhile, in Europe, UBS launched a global spot in which it poses some of the most common big questions for women setting up in business. The ad, out of Publicis, is set to music by British singer Joss Stone and includes questions like "Did I only get the job because I'm a woman?" and "Will the investors take me seriously?"
Other women's day efforts include a new spot from Microsoft 's "Make What's Next" campaign, which asks girls what they want to change in the world and lets them interact with Microsoft products, like an interactive VR headset. In the U.K., charity Inspiring Girls and agency MullenLowe's "Redraw the Balance" campaign calls on the animation world to provide more strong female role models, creating some new ones of its own. And a film by fashion brand Tory Burch and agency Laird & Partners aims to address the double standard that exists around ambition. It features appearances from Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Sheryl Sandberg and Melinda Gates.
For its part, Mitsubishi sets out to break the stereotype that the vast majority of car enthusiasts are male by saluting female drivers who are finding their own lane.
The carmaker confirmed this bias by posting a modded Mitsubishi Outlander Sport on its social feeds about a week ago. From the comments, it was clear that people thought the car belonged to a male enthusiast. Today the auto brand surprised its social audience with a video revealing that the owner is a woman, proving no matter your gender, passion will always be passion.
Burger King adds to the celebration in a search for its Burger Queen. In China, the fast food chain and Y&R Shanghai ask the question "Can you be our Burger Queen?" for a campaign around International Women's Day. The question was posed in video interviews, which led to an in-store experience, where burgers came in boxes with a question printed on top: "Do you want to know who our Burger Queen is?" When women popped open the box, they found a mirror inside, complete with a little yellow crown. The message: "Every one of you is our Burger Queen." Awww.
Also, Stacy's Pita Chips, founded in 1997 by female entrepreneur Stacy Madison, is marking the occasion by unveiling limited-edition bags. Created for Women's History Month, the designs feature artwork from over the years to honor the courageous women that have helped shape our nation's history.
Inspired by the artwork and signs from pivotal moments throughout history, the bags will be available for a limited time to consumers who register at StacysStandsWithYou.com starting March 8, 2017.
For each consumer registration while supplies last, the brand will donate $10 to Step Up to support the mentoring of young women.
Sharing its support, Jack Daniel's toasts to women across the globe with a clever tweet.

Notable digital campaigns include the "Girls Count" project from Droga5, for the charity One.org, which highlights the gap in female education around the world by aiming to create the "longest ever user-generated film;" an app that can detect "Manterruption," developed by BETC in Sao Paulo; and in 360i's, "Equal Voices" campaign, the agency has created placards for women unable to take part in marches on March 8.
Agencies are also making their own internal changes to mark the day. DDB is adding the name of the agency's first female copy chief, Phyllis Robinson, to its door globally.
It will temporarily become DDB&R, with the change affecting DDB Worldwide's physical signage, email signatures, meeting rooms and the agency's website. This will be supported by a social campaign in which it celebrates Robinson by altering the copy on some of the agency's most famous ads to reveal that they were written by women.
And, in China, Anomaly's Shanghai office adapted the quote, displayed in all its offices, from George Bernard Shaw: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." It altered a plaque bearing that quote by spraypainting "woman" in place of "man."

An international group of scientists led by Australian immunologist Edward Steele (Steele Edward), worked at the Center for astrobiology in Sri Lanka, suggested that evolution on Earth has occurred due to extraterrestrial retroviruses, and some cephalopods have come to the planet with comets. A controversial hypothesis published in a peer-reviewed journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology.
In 1978, Fred Hoyle (Fred Hoyle) and Chandra Wickramasinghe (Chandra Wickramasinghe), supporters of the hypothesis of panspermia, put forward the thesis H-W on cometary biology, which suggests that organisms fall to Earth by comets. The researchers also believed that the space objects carried with them the retroviruses causing disease and thus guide the course of evolution. Infectious agents could have caused the Cambrian explosion.
In the new work, scientists have proposed a bold hypothesis that octopuses could not appear in the result of the evolution of the earth. The arguments in favor of this assumption include unusual genetic and behavioral diversity of modern cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish and octopus). However, such a complex anatomical features, like a nervous system with a large brain chamber of the eye (different from the eyes of mammals), the color change, and appear a relatively short time period approximately 275 million years ago.
Octopus genome contains 33 thousand protein coding genes, more than humans. Moreover, almost every gene has a conservative (relatively completely preserved during the entire course of evolution) website editing mRNA, but this mechanism is absent in the more primitive cephalopods (Nautilus). Scientists believe that such genetic characteristics could not occur in the course of random mutations. Genes thus have a cosmic origin. The researchers admit the possibility that the comets that fall to Earth were the eggs frozen octopus.
According to the publication Science Alert, work, although an interesting, speculative and not a matter of great scientific value. According to editor Denis noble (Denis Noble) the article was published to maintain the discussion about the origin of life and evolution, because there is increasing evidence of the presence of organic substances on other celestial bodies.

March 14, 2011 – Doctors at Beaumont Hospital in Troy, Mich., have performed the state's first minimally invasive robotic procedure to correct atrial fibrillation. The new robotic maze procedure is an alternative to open-heart surgery. It's performed through tiny, keyhole incisions with fewer complications and a shorter hospital stay.
Phillip Robinson, M.D., cardiovascular surgeon, Brian Williamson, M.D. and Ilana Kutinsky, D.O., both electrophysiology cardiologists, performed the robotic-assisted maze procedure on March 2 on a 66-year-old woman. The robotic approach allows for smaller incisions and greater precision.
A maze procedure is a surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation that is used to stop an irregular heartbeat and restore a normal heart rhythm. Patients are candidates for a maze procedure if their irregular heartbeat cannot be treated with medication or other nonsurgical approaches.
"This new robotic maze procedure allows us to correct an electrical irregularity in the heart without having to perform open-heart surgery," Robinson said. "We don't have to open the patient's chest, stop the heart or place the patient on a heart-lung machine. As a result, patients have fewer complications, less risk of infection, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery."
With the procedure, the surgeon makes five tiny incisions the size of a dime in the patient's chest, inserting a small endoscopic robotic camera to view the outer surface of the heart. The surgeon sits at a console viewing 3-D images from the robotic camera, while directing robotic arms with their attached surgical instruments. A device is then passed through the tiny incisions to ablate or destroy areas of heart tissue, creating a scar that will block the conduction of abnormal electrical impulses and create a pathway, or maze, for normal electrical signals to travel to the heart's lower chambers (ventricles).
"This procedure combines the specialized skills and expertise of a cardiovascular surgeon and an electrophysiology cardiologist to provide a new treatment option benefiting AF patients," Kutinsky said.
The procedure takes approximately two to three hours. Most patients are able to go home within two to three days after the procedure.
Candidates include those who cannot tolerate drugs, such as blood thinners; patients whose quality of life is limited by drugs; those who continue to slip into an irregular heart rhythm; and those who cannot have catheter ablation or have had it, but still have AF symptoms.
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular rhythm of the heart's upper chambers (atria) causing the heart to quiver in a fast, uncontrolled manner. As a result, blood is not pumped completely out of the atria and may pool or clot. If a blood clot leaves the heart and becomes lodged in an artery in the brain, a stroke may occur. About 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial fibrillation.
For most people with atrial fibrillation, slowing heart rate with medications is the most appropriate treatment. AF patients can also be treated with electrical cardioversion (restoring heart rhythm with an electrical shock); radiofrequency ablation (destroying heart tissue with radiofrequency energy); or through traditional open-heart maze surgery. Patients with atrial fibrillation should also take blood thinners to prevent stroke, unless they have a condition that would make use of blood thinners dangerous.

Religious scholar Prof. Charlie Hallisey tells this story about what it means to live a religious - and thus, compassionate life. He writes, "There was a Protestant village in France during the Second World War that got involved, at great risk to themselves, in protecting Jewish refugees. The people who participated were extremely inarticulate when asked why they did what they did. They said, 'Someone knocks on the door, you open it. You don't think about it. You open the door.' How did they become so good? They said, 'I don't feel so good. I didn't decide to do anything. I just opened the door.'
It is a striking illustration. I have only one problem with this "parable of the open door" and that is with the idea that the villagers, "...didn't decide to do anything." I disagree; I think they did decide to do something. They decided to live a religious life in religious community. Unlike many in today's rapidly secularizing world, the French villagers were guided not simply by their own personal spiritual promptings. They lived in covenanted community: that is to say, their individual spiritual journeys were tempered in the flame of group devotion and reflection and emerged on the other side stronger and more purposeful than if they had gone it alone. It was in no small part this communal religious life that made their actions during the Holocaust seem almost second-nature. Of course we will open the door. How could we do any other?
It seems to me that we Unitarians and Free Christians sometimes stumble when facing similar, if far less stark, decisions. Our community ought to remind us - if it is to deserve both the title "religious" and "community" to open our doors, again and again, even when it is not comfortable to do so, even when we have other things that fill up our church calendars, even when we are small or primarily elderly or under-resourced or whatever it is that keeps us stuck in our own safe, small house. We speak a great deal about freedom of conscience; being a Unitarian/Free Christian also means that a deep theological claim is made on each one of us within our congregations to hone our communal conscience as well. "Slavery is bad. Stigmatising immigrants—not allowed. Loving our neighbours, even ones we don't quite understand or struggle to appreciate—that is good." We may differ on who or what makes this deeper claim on our souls, our minds and hearts: God or our basic humanity or some other universal impulse we sense deep within. Where I would hope we would not differ is in agreeing that it is within the sanctuary and support of our chapel "home" where that community conscience is made flesh. Doing social action as individuals is important and honourable; thinking that it supplants or makes up for justice-making congregations is to misunderstand why liberal religious congregations exist in the first place.
There is good news out there as well of course. Some have been quite keen to poke our heads out (together) and welcome in the larger world. Send a Child to Hucklow is in its 60th year of providing holidays to disadvantaged children; the Penal Affairs Panel and its work continues to remind us of our commitment to treating even the most outcast with humanity and basic dignity, and within the GA and the outside world we have collectively taken a stand on gay/lesbian/bi and transgender dignity and equal marriage rights.
I like to think that SimpleGifts: Unitarian Centre for Social Action (for which I work) is a part of this ongoing effort as well, both at the community centre in East London and through "The Road Ahead" congregational coaching programme to help chapels become more effective, creative and collaborative places in which to act on their communal conscience.
We at SimpleGifts are working hard to help congregations and our movement to think larger thoughts, to move together in common pilgrimage towards a more peaceful, more just, more compassionate UK and, ultimately, world. Of course we are not alone in this effort. All the same, many agree that the collective "we" can be rather tentative when it comes to taking common action.
"The Road Ahead" coaching programme is only one suggestion for becoming more dynamic and proactive from being a group adept at making motions (which undoubtedly have their place) to actually moving as a group in order to make the change we hope to see in our hurting, hopeful world. If we cannot or will not do that, then in my view we neither deserve to be called "religious" nor a real "community."
On the other hand, we have made common cause in the past, and there is no reason why we can't "up our game" again in future. It is my hope that social action/social justice making will no longer be a sideline within the Unitarian/Free Christian tradition, but instead a cornerstone of the engaged liberal religious life in 2015 and beyond. Here we are, still together, unwilling to be either museum curators or religious patients on life support. We live together, you and I, in a safe and welcoming house. Before us is the door, and the knock, and the need. Why not open it together?
Rev. Rob Gregson
Director SimpleGifts Unitarian Centre for Social Action

Mesh Fencing is fencing created from powerful steel wire either galvanized or stainless steel. It's most frequently applied as a perimeter fence for industrial or industrial purposes. This type of fencing supplies a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, and will deliver privacy, security and durability; it can be cost productive and much more desirable than the typical options. Mesh is normally intended as common boundary fencing. It can also be employed in rural locations to contain wildlife and in some cases at tiny zoos for enclosures of animals which include monkeys, rabbits and birds and so forth. Some are created with roll major and roll bottom, and this is thought of to be user friendly, as well as add safety and extra rigidity.
Mesh fencing is accessible in many various sorts, sizes and designs to suit several different applications. A few of the types offered can include things like:
o Security mesh fencing
o Chicken wire netting
o Galvanized wire mesh
o Chain hyperlink fencing
o Rabbit fencing
o Garden fence and netting
o Stainless steel mesh
Wire mesh fencing is readily available with various hole sizes and these can range from extremely fine 6mm holes up to 50mm holes, and also the gauge (thickness) with the wire also can vary. Security mesh may have bigger holes.
Other goods connected to mesh fencing will incorporate:
o Posts & post fittings
o Tools & staple guns
o Line, wire & rope
More eye-catching mesh fencing is accessible in the form of plastic mesh. This mesh is typically coloured, and green is very commonly employed for the aesthetic look and fits in a lot more naturally in rural surroundings.
Insect and fly screen mesh is exceptionally fine mesh with very little holes. It is actually generally manufactured from plastic, aluminium or stainless steel. This sort of mesh can be employed for large or compact openings to prevent the intrusion of unwanted pests for instance insects and flies or even tiny animals which include mice and rats.
Another kind of mesh can be found in the form of monofilament netting. This really is ideal for the protection of crops and plants against birds and other predators. It may also be utilised for fruit cages and to cover ponds to protect fish from predators such as cats or herons, as well as being helpful for keeping out leaves.

United Way of Hancock County announced it met the Templin matching grant for the second year, raising $35,000 for the Halt Hunger Initiative's 2014 calendar year. Don and Carrie Templin, funders of the matching grant, announced in November 2013 that they will provide a dollar-for-dollar match to the Initiative for the next five years, up to $35,000 each year. The funds are being used for the Halt Hunger Initiative which is a community collaborative effort working on alleviating hunger in Hancock County.
"This is the first time our United Way has received this type of incentive grant in the history of our operation. We are thrilled to meet the goal ahead of schedule. Although there are less food insecure individuals and families since the initiative began, we encourage donors to continue to give to the Halt Hunger Initiative fund to completely close the gap on food insecurity in Hancock County," said John Urbanski, president and chief executive officer of United Way of Hancock County.
Currently, the Halt Hunger Initiative advisory board is researching root causes of hunger locally and is looking at innovative and alternative ways to address the community's food insecure families. To contribute to the Halt Hunger Initiative, which funds programs such as Feed-A-Child (a weekend food program), local food pantries and more, visit http://liveunitedhancockcounty.org. Donors can also mail contributions to United Way of Hancock County, 245 Stanford Pkwy, Findlay, Ohio 45840.
The mission of the Halt Hunger Initiative is to mobilize the community to research, identify, implement and promote long-term sustainable solutions to the problem of hunger in Hancock County. United Way of Hancock County started the Halt Hunger Initiative in October of 2011.

Wispix II
Many years ago, the world sat poised on the verge of disaster. Across the lands, the fell forces marched at the will of their wispy overlords. The oppressive and violent wisps imprisoned the world, for their own nefarious purposes.
As was foretold, four brave warriors stood apart, broke their bonds, and started a revolution that shattered the wisp empire. The seed of this victory was planted with the capture of an ancient relic, during their escape. A powerful and wise sentient sword, created by the ancients, in the primordial history of the world.
The four mystics, as they became known resurrected ancient magic, with the aid of their mighty sword and crafted the labyrinths of capture. The labyrinths are pan-dimensional conjurations, zones of energy designed to snare and entrap supernatural horrors.
Following the defeat of the wisps, large metropoli sprung up on these sites, protected from supernatural attack. What happened to the creatures once they were caught? Nobody could answer that question.
Although the wisps could not escape from these prisons, their abominable magic permeated the world, creating isolated grottos of negative energy. Mortal followers were drawn to these sites, and through raw power the wisps were able to communicate with them. The wisps new they had to be decisive, if they failed in their bid to escape, they risked further confinement, and the elimination of their grottos.
In the city of Torus, the wisps' plan reached fruition. Torus' labyrinth stored the most powerful wisps, ancient fey beings of nearly limitless power. With their followers help, they overturned the ritual cornerstones of their prison, substituting them with black obsidian. By sheer will, and force of power, they perverted their labyrinth, turning it from prison to stronghold. Overnight, the citizens of Torus were turned from free men, to slaves. Those who opposed the wisps, where driven away or slain. None left to resist them. The ivory towers of the mage guilds were turned to salt, the markets left deserted, and the warrior's halls torched.
The arcane echo of the desecration echoed around the continent. While no other labyrinth fell, their powers of containment were strained and weakened. Some spewed forth hordes of monsters, others raised corpses from their graves, and some simply caused crops to fail.
In the far north, comets appeared unheralded, and unexpected in the skies, their trajectories absurd and paradoxical. With a whipcrack that reverberated the world, they struck the ground leaving molten farrows. When they were eventually found, each site struck was found to be devoid of any stellar objects. Bizarrely, tracks lead away from each comet, scorched into the stone and earth, leading to the north. The rangers consulted each other, and sent messengers to the city each 'comet walker' was heading, the frozen metropolis of Lucith.

Autumn :)
My favourite season of the year.
To me, autumn is always the beginning. It always means a new start, and for me this is a new start :) I've just moved to Bath for Uni and the last few days have been ups and downs of weird crazy emotions, flooey-bug and magic ^.^
Who know's what this year holds? Hopefully some snowflakes, sunny autumn evenings and great music :) Oh and most importantly is catching it all in some fairy tale photographs ^.^
So the lighting was amazing here :) This morning at Sunrise I walked through the Crescent, and through an amazingly pretty Golf Course with all the orange leaves on the floor ^.^ I'll make sure I take my camera tomorrow so I can document it :)
For now?
And.... My room! :)

GOV. FASHOLA's SISTER SET TO WED
Olumide(left) and BolajiAt last, the much-awaited wedding between Bolaji Fashola, the captivating cousin of Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, and her heartthrob, Olumide Isimi comes up next weekend. According to the program of events sourced from the invites currently in circulation within the high society in Lagos, the Engagement and the Nikkah take place on Saturday January 23, 2009. The introduction ceremony had taken place in August last year. A top events manager, who was contracted to handle the planning is currently pulling all the stops to ensure Bolaji and Olumide have a befitting nuptial. An elaborate society reception is expected to follow immediately after the Nikka and from the look of things the wedding promises to be superb.
Nike Yusuf (right) and Aboyade-Cole(left)
Otunba (Mrs) Nike Yusuf, the woman behind the wave-making Golden Triangle Private School in Alagbado, Lagos celebrated her 59th birthday recently. Though the ceremony was not very loud, yet it was classy and well-attended as most of her friends came from far and near to rejoice with her. Prominent among those in attendance were Pastor Sam Foli and his beautiful wife, Abosede, Deaconess Aboyade –Cole, Mrs Bisi Kuye, Mrs Dupe Fasawe, Mrs Doyin Ben-Cash, Mrs Funmi Olukoya, Mrs Ronke Savage,Mrs Bola Amodu and many others including the staff and management of Golden Triangle Schools. In a chat with metrogist-nigeria during the event, Otunba Nike Yusuf expressed her "appreciation to the Most High God for all His goodness, mercy and blessing over her and her household". The ceremony took place in the premises of her late husband, Air Marshal Nureni Yusuf, the former Chief of Air Staff in Alagbado last December.

After reading "The Woman I Actually Want To Be With", I was surprisingly happy. Honestly, I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worse. I was expecting a column about the perfect woman. I'd say a mix of Barbie and Mrs. Cleaver. Much to my relief, it was contemporary, sweet, and realistic. Yet, there was still something missing. Between the original piece Joseph Rauch was referring to and his very own piece, we still do not have a woman's perspective. Mind you, I'm not trying to create the next feminist headline. Instead, I'm allowing men to realize since we are not Barbie nor Mrs. Cleaver, we (well, most of us) are not expecting a Ken or Prince Charming.
