Now that all that is done, thought I would get caught up and back in the swing of things with daily blogging. I am on some vacation right now from work, so I am eager to get going here!
First up, I wanted to share some photos from our start to the Master Bedroom makeover! I was so excited and went to load up the photos, but apparently "someone" deleted them from the camera card :(
Luckily, I do have some poor quality shots from my ipod!
First up, I wanted to start with something for the huge wall behind my bed. I went back and forth before painting an accent color, wallpapering or just using a stencil. Since I really wanted a pattern, I figured it would be a lot less expensive and headache-inducing to just stencil.
I ordered the Casablanca AllOver Stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils and am super pleased with my order. It included the main stencil, and individual stencil of the pattern and a top part stencil which made the job soooo much easier.
Well, it took an entire weekend to do the huge wall, but it was well worth it. I knew I wanted it to be a little shimmery and kind of subtle, so I went with a tone on tone look. Literally, I had the same wall color - Antique Sterling by ICI mixed up with a glossy version.
I wasn't sure how it would turn out at first, and have to say I hated it when I first removed the stencil, but I stuck with it and once everythign started to dry, I was sooooo happy I did!
(excuse the shoddy shots...)
I really love the look overall. It looks best late at night with just the nightstand lamps on, it makes it really shimmer!
I was really worried about whether or not Cory would be a fan, thank goodness he was! Infat, he said it felt like sleeping in a fancy hotel!
But we also realized that the lamps just weren't going to cut it anymore. They were not only too small, but the bright aqua color just didn't seem "sophisticated" enough for the space.
I swapped them out for these taller silver lamps I had in the offie, but just kept the white drum shades. They look 100 times better than the other ones!
I was also going to get the headboard done the following weekend, but as soon as the wall was done, we realized the fabric we had, was ABSOLUTELY not going to work! Again, way to aqua... so it is back to the drawing board.
Luckily, the duvet cover that I want to replace, doesn't look too bad in there for the time being.
For the headboard, I am thinking something in a bluey-grey, silver or even a linen color.

Sooo, I used to be active and in shape in high school. Nonstop activities, a faster metabolism, running track and playing softball all helped keep me in shape. Enter college, a more hectic schedule, endless study hours and a serious lack of motivation to find time to go to the gym. Since then it's only gotten worse!
So, I've set out to try to remedy the situation. After running a few 5k in Sacramento and watching katshaw run the Rock N Roll Full marathon in San Diego this summer, I decided to start training for a sprint triathlon in October and the Rock N Roll 1/2 marathon in Seattle in June 2010 (hey, I'm not crazy, I know I can't do a full one!) I just found out that the tri has been cancelled, so bummer there. I'm still going to work on the swim and bike portion in case Ii'm able to find another one I like, but focus more on the running. I need to increase my endurance and stamina… and motivation to both get outside and run, and to go to the gym to work on more than just cardio.
Hopefully I'll be able to track all my training, races, events, etc. on this blog and it will keep me motivated to do more and get better and faster!

Gina Wisker of Anglia Polytechnic University in Cambridge wrote to say that she's looking for Malaysian women writers, especially those who use post-colonial gothic in their work.
Now this had me stumped. I know what post-colonial means. I know what gothic means.
But post-colonial gothic?
Gina patiently filled in the gap in my ignorance. She reckons that the term was first coined by David Punter, and :.
.. it suggests that colonial and imperial spaces are haunted by silenced and returned ghosts of a hidden past. ... I also use it to look at how postcolonial writers use images of vampires, ghosts, zombies, werewolves etc etc, witches, myths, spider women and so on writing against the impacts of colonialism and imperialism through looking at power and so on which relate to ethnicity, cultural difference, gender. Usually the writers are using myths and images and writing about their own lives and hidden histories - examples would definitely be Beth Yahp's Crocodile Fury on which I've written a couple of times, and Tash Aw's The Harmony Silk Factory but also much of Catherine Lim's work ...So the short question is does anyone know of Malaysian women writers who supernatural elements in their work?

'ultraviolet' / feline
2013/16 [recorded 1999]
Feline was Grog and Drew's glamorous punk-pop band, formed in 1996, and signed to EMI in a flourish of champagne and coke and private jets.
This second Feline album was unreleased. One song 'Unknown' was released as a single under the band name Ultraviolet and a mini album pressed but not released. The final four songs were recorded just before the decision was made to end Feline. We've recently unearthed and restored a video for 'Unknown' - check it out below. Ha! We look a bit different ...
It was another 13 years before we were able to reclaim the recordings and self-release the album. In 2016, the album was re-released on Strataville.
We're amazed at how good the recordings still sound - this cost a tiny fraction to produce compared to Feline's EMI debut. They were hungry years but good times for punks young enough to survive on cigarettes and coffee and cereal. We were faces in a burgeoning scene in Camden and we all broke a few hearts along the way - especially Al !
I was pretty bummed out by my bad luck when I wrote this but, ever the optimist when it comes down to it, this song celebrates the fact that I was still loving performing live and energised to move forward and rock like fuck.
I feel a bit like this song put a curse on us because of the line 'we are the world's best kept secret'. Struggle has always made us stronger but now I've had my fill. I no longer wish to be the world's best kept secret and hereby break the curse.
Cold Inside
Life can throw such a confusing mess at us from an early age we're often unable to see beyond it, we become numb and make seemingly cold insensitive decisions.
Memoirs of a psychopath
The path I was on seemed insane and I was feeling out of control. I felt like I had a lot of responsibility placed on me that also involved playing the part of the unhinged and hedonistic front person even when I didn't really want to. I don't think that was really true but I was in a dark place and my relationships suffered as a result.
Wish you were dead
The old classic 'If I can't have you no one else will' refrain of many an obsessed admirer. When you feel so passionately about someone love and hate become next door neighbours.
Making Hate
I still love this song. It's about an ill-advised relationship where two broken hearted people take solace in each other.
People who have ultimate faith in something, or someone - love, religion. And believe that they are right and you are wrong.
How does that happen and do they not ever doubt or question?
Truth will out
The truth always comes out in the end, or will it?
We've met quite a few liars in the music business, whether they are suffering from mental illness or not remains to be seen but unfortunately they seem to be attracted to this line of work.
It's just bizarre, sad and such a waste of time.
Or were they just #alternativefacts ?
Song for leaving. Leaving a place, a person, a state of mind so you can get a new angle and a new perspective.
This reminds me of drunken escapades in Camden Town. Yet another installment of my self-destruction years. Testing everyone and everything until they break. At least it's a cool song!
I hope
When you just hope and pray someone understands how much you care for them.
Well this is an early impression of shallow internet flirting and attention seeking from the olden days. It didn't get much better :)

I enjoy a humble tea, changing my room around, sitting down in the shower, listening to music, cycling to get my groceries, milky skies, hugs and smiles and stories from my friends. This is a list of happy, and its pretty much sans money.
Thats not me, although I have a coat like that and that is one sexy sky.

A Sister and Brother
No one ever had to ask
you to love each other. Ever.
Or show you how. When I
think about you two, the word
I come up with is destiny.
Your friendship was not born of
fine parenting. It was not taught.
It's what you two made it
as you played and giggled... as
you traveled, kept secrets and seasoned
your conversations with movie and TV
quotes. You shared your toys, and,
as you grew, you shared friends.
Us parents? We hope our kids
will do things without being asked.
Well, no parent's ever asked you
two to love each other. Ever!

I used the Lunar Lights set to create this card. The technique I applied on this card is to use the double sided tape burnishing it with Glitter Ritz Cool Highlight glitters (a transparent microfine glitter), then stamp the lanterns with black StazOn ink pad on the burnished glitters. After that, I used Copic markers to color the lanterns (the lanterns are super shiny after coloring), then cut out the lanterns and arranged them on the card.
Here is another look of the card:
I finished this card with the "happy wishes" text stamp and the colored pearl stickers (I used the white pearl stickers and colored with Copic markers to match the lanterns).
Except the glittered lanterns and color pearls, the other texture item on this card is the white background paper. It's the acrylic paper with linen finish - purchased from Michaels when they were on sale (40% off). Here is a closer look of the card to see the texture of the white background linen paper:
Cardstock: PTI (gold cardstock), Strathmore (acrylic paper - linen finish)
Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Lunar Lights set)
Ink Pads: StazOn (black), Memento (black)
Others: Glitter Ritz Cool Highligh glitters, Be Creative tape sheet, Copic markers, pearl stickers, Sakura Gelly Roll pens

While hunting for fun and inexpensive crafts on Pinterest, I noticed a ton of people pinning do-it-yourself sidewalk paint. Is that even possible? Sidewalk paint is something I've never heard of before, but painting the sidewalks would be right up my kids' alley so I decided to give it a try.
The recipe for sidewalk paint could not be easier:
- 1 part cornstarch
- 1 part water
- Drops of food coloring or washable paint.
That's it!
But is it too good to be true?
Watch this video as I make sidewalk paint for my kids and even compare it to store bought sidewalk paint!:
Be sure to subscribe to CafeMom Studios on YouTube for more Pinterest-inspired projects from me and don't forget to follow along on Pinterest for more great summer style inspiration!
Will you try making homemade sidewalk paint?

Now It's Legal to Use Rainwater in Colorado
That it was ever illegal to harvest rainwater in Colorado seems so strange to us. But now, thanks to two new laws, residents can grab as much free rainwater as they'd like (and they don't have to worry about going to jail)…
Our favorite quote from the New York Times article:
"I was so willing to go to jail for catching water on my roof and watering my garden," said Tom Bartels, a video producer here in southwestern Colorado, who has been illegally watering his vegetables and fruit trees from tanks attached to his gutters. "But now I'm not a criminal."
According to the article, rainwater collection is still illegal in Utah and Washington. Would you risk going to jail, and harvest rainwater illegally if you lived in one of these states?

Ex-Vietnam President Cong dies at 99
Vietnam's state media say former President Vo Chi Cong has died at age 99.world Updated: Sep 09, 2011 08:49 IST
Vietnam's state media say former President Vo Chi Cong has died at age 99.
Communist Party newspaper Nhan Dan says Cong died on Thursday at a hospital in southern Ho Chi Minh City. He had long been ill.
Cong was born Vo Toan in central Quang Nam province and joined the Communist Party in 1935. He gradually rose in the ranks.
He was appointed deputy prime minister in 1976, a year after the Vietnam War and served as president from 1987 to 1991.
After retiring from the job as adviser to the ruling Communist Party in 1996, Cong rarely appeared at public events.
Friday's report said Cong will be buried at a cemetery in Ho Chi Minh City on Monday.

Carl Sandburg 1878-1967
Carl Sandburg was born to Swedish immigrants in 1878 in Galesburg, Illinois. The second of seven children, his early education ended with the eighth grade, when he began working full-time to help his father support the family. His jobs included work as a milk deliveryman, barber, ice cream scooper, ice harvester, migrant worker, railway hobo, fireman, stereoscopic-view salesman, tinsmith apprentice, potter, and house-and-barn painter. From early on he played a number of instruments, loved to sing, and read for pleasure. The songs he learned during his travels around the United States and in his many jobs would later reappear in his invaluable collection and history of American folksongs, The American Songbag (1927).
With the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Sandburg joined Company C of the Sixth Infantry Regiment of Illinois Volunteers, which, landing in Puerto Rico, saw no action and suffered no casualties. On his return, he entered Lombard College with a veteran's tuition waiver. While there he was particularly influenced by Professor Philip Green Wright, around whom a casual writer's circle—the Poor Writer's Club—formed. In 1904 Wright published the first collection of Sandburg's verse and prose, In Reckless Ecstasy, in his basement print shop.
In 1907, Sandburg began working as a recruiter for the Wisconsin Socialist Party and undertook the first of many reporting jobs (Milwaukee Sentinel, Milwaukee Daily News, Milwaukee Journal, Milwaukee Leader, Chicago World, Day Book, Chicago Evening American, Chicago Daily News, Chicago Daily Times). In 1908 he married the teacher and translator Lillian Paula Steichen (sister of photographer Edward Steichen), with whom he had three daughters.
"Chicago Poems," published in the 3.6 issue (March 1914) of Poetry, brought Sandburg his first tangible success as a poet. Joining his literary talent to his devotion to social issues, these poems reflect the legacy of Walt Whitman among American poets of this era—in their free verse and typographical form as well as in their indigenous inspiration. Sandburg won the 1913-14 Levinson prize from Poetry for the series, which brought with it a $200 prize (the equivalent of two months' wages from his job at the time with the Chicago Day Book). With the help of this distinction, along with Alice Corbin Henderson's backing, Sandburg obtained a contract in 1916 with Henry Holt & Co. for a longer collection, also called Chicago Poems, which included selections from his "Days" poems (7.1) as well. Sandburg's verse also attracted new attention to Poetry magazine—The Dial responded unfavorably to the poems in 3.6, thereby initiating new debates on the nature and role of poetry. Edgar Lee Masters at one time credited the appearance of Sandburg's poems in Poetry as an inspiration for his Spoon River Anthology. Many of the pieces collected in Sandburg's next volume, Cornhuskers (1918), which won a prize from the Poetry Society of America, earlier appeared as the "My People" (10.1) series in Poetry, and most of the poems from the "Redhaw Winds" (13.1) group later appeared in Smoke and Steel (1922). Sandburg would go on to write thirty volumes of prose and poetry, including a six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln, the last four volumes of which ("The War Years") earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1940. His Complete Poems, published in 1953, also won the Pulitzer Prize. Named the Poet Laureate of Illinois in 1962, he enjoyed considerable cultural prestige and remained socially and politically engaged until he died on his goat ranch in North Carolina in 1967.

I love writing.
I love words.
I love stories.
I love people.
I love learning.
For a long time I kept a blog I didn't tell anyone about. It was my escape from insanity in turbulent times... I posted my long sighs transformed into short sentences and collected songs while I followed my very own yellow brick road...my way home!
Now, it makes sense to have something I will share. For several reasons. Because writing became my very personal way to definitely follow that yellow brick road... doing it just for myself is lonely and too self-centered. Because sharing allows me to learn a bit more and expand my vision. And, practically speaking, because I am trying now to write in English and, since I am not a native speaker, forcing myself to find the right words, more complex expressions and having someone "reviewing" what I create (or just having the pressure of knowing it will be public) can be a good way to improve.
This will be my place still, to unload whatever thought, story or consideration that is going through my mind in that very moment in time. It is not a diary though, it is not all about me (mom, dad, take note!).
I usually collect stories in a little book I have with me at all times and, whenever I have the time, I develop those stories, or I just leave them as little notes. That little book will now be this place... all inspired by these phrases I get on passing, inspired by my life, the life of friends, of people I randomly meet.
Life is made of so many stories we often ignore... some sour, some sweet, some of great strength and others of great sorrow (I am portuguese... fate, sorrow and nostalgia are well embedded in my fado-filled genes). Innocence is gone and life becomes complex once you start digging deeper on who are these people that surround you in your life or just in this very unique instant. It is fascinating... and so much scarier... and so much more exciting! It is very grounding too and humbling to realize we are all quite similar despite our immense differences... we are all searching for the same peaceful spot under the sun, for love and understanding. When I truly realized this I was not able to judge as lightly as I used to do. And that is for sure my very own journey down this yellow brick road...
Stories, little stories, epic tales, people's stories, ordinary stories of extraordinary people, secret stories of average people... it is my history, my philosophy straight from my everyday encounters with life.

Smithsonian Channel to Air One-Hour Special CROWNING NEW YORK: Re-Building of One World Trade Center, 9/7
The 9-11 attacks left a hole in New York City and in the hearts of millions of people around the world. In the immediate weeks after the tragedy, the city and country were in shock, mourning that terrible day and stunned by the still smoking pile of debris that was once two of the world?s most iconic buildings. But the determination to rebuild quickly emerged, as did much debate about the nature and style of a new building. The one-hour special, CROWNING NEW YORK, premiering Sunday, September 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Smithsonian Channel, takes a look at the engineering and construction feats of the defining structure, One World Trade Center, that has rebuilt Gotham?s skyline. It is a story of hope mixed with the realistic nature of what it takes to build the Western Hemisphere?s tallest building. This isn?t rebuilding Ground Zero. This is the final chapter in rebuilding a city.This engineering triumph helps fulfill former NY Mayor Rudolph Giuliani?s defiant declarations after the 9/11 attacks: "We will rebuild. We're going to come out of this stronger than before, politically stronger, economically stronger. The skyline will be made whole again." Remarking on the achievement, former New York Governor George Pataki said: ?It conveys that same sense of excitement and awe that... makes it very different from being just another building.? At 1,776 feet, One World Trade Center is now the tallest building in the U.S. and third tallest in the world. To capture the construction workers' remarkable work in placing the 40-story 758-ton spire on top of a building that was already 104 stories high, Smithsonian Channel?s production partner, New York City-based Pulse3TV, was given unparalleled access to the WTC site and its iron workers, as well as exclusive access to the beacon testing site. They used a helicopter to film the installation of the spire, as well as helmet cams and GoPro cameras. CROWNING NEW YORK also highlights the initial competitions and heated arguments that marked the early evolution of the tower?s conception. Architect Daniel Libeskind?s idea for the site and David Child?s architectural invention echo the Twin Towers in height, but its new design has made it the strongest building in the world. It features never-before-aired footage of the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as well as definitive interviews with Libeskind and officials including Pataki, Giuliani, as well as many of the construction workers. CROWNING NEW YORK is produced by Pulse3TV, Executive Producer Vincent Kralyevich and Producer/Director Paul McGuire. Executive Producers for Smithsonian Channel are David Royle and Charles Poe.

- Romantic Opinions In The Work Of Percy Bysshe Shelley - 1,600 words
Romantic Opinions in the Work of Percy Bysshe Shelley To think of something romantically is to think of it naively, in a positive light, away from the view of the majority. Percy Bysshe Shelley has many romantic themes in his plays. Educated at Eton College, he went on to the University of Oxford only to be expelled after one year after publishing an inappropriate collection of poems. He then worked on writing full-time, and moved to Italy shortly before his death in a boating accident off the shore of Leghorn. He wrote many pieces, and his writing contains numerous themes. Shelley experienced first-hand the French Revolution. This allowed him to ponder many different situations, and determi ...

The commoners of France felt a void that only Naploean filled; Napolean gave the commoners a sense of nationalism and patriotism. And when Europe banished Napolean for a second time to a remote South Atlantic island. Shelley wrote this sarcastic sonnet, Feelings of a Republican on the fall of Bonaparte, in which a Napolean dissenter addresses the dead tyrant: "...For this I prayed, would on thy sleep have crept/Treason and Slavery, Rapine, Fear, and Lust,/And stifled thee, their minister.

Through these familial affiliations, she was also acquainted with Lord Byron Samuel T. Coleridge, and other literary figures such as Charles and Mary Lamb. Surrounded by such influential literary and political figures of the Romantic Age, it is not surprising that as an adolescent, at the age of 19, she wrote Frankenstein.

Mary Shelley is best known for her novel Frankenstein: or The Modern Prometheus, which has transcended the Gothic and horror genres that now has been adapted to plays, movies, and sequels. Her life though scattered with tragedies and disgrace, was one of great passion and poetry, which I find quite fascinating, but not desirable. Shelleys other literary works were mildly successful their time, but are little known today. Her reputation rests, however, on what she once called her "Hideous Progeny," Frankenstein.

Because it emphasized change it was an atmosphere in which events occurred and came to affect not only the way humans thought and expressed themselves, but also the way they lived socially and politically. (Abrams, M.H. Pg. 13) "Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and ...

If Wordsworth has decided to describe his growing feebility, and loss of the glory and the dream..., than nature has certainly been given a very important role to play (53). He chooses creatures from the physical world to relay his suffering and his intense hope. The flowers, fields and trees all ask him what has happened, where has his poetry gone too.

Nigeria's Hip Hop/R&B music sensation, Adegoke Raymond Afix, popularly known as Raymond Fix, is set to hit the global music scene with a new single entitled Oyibobo. Produced by Flip Tyce, the dude behind P Square and Akon's Chop My Money track, the song will be premiered simultaneously on both local and international airwaves in a couple of days.
Even before its official release, music pundits have tipped Oyibobo as a chart topper, describing it as one of the few new generation songs with the potentials of making prompt impact on the terrestrial stage.
According to Raymond Fix, who recently returned from a musical tour of the United States of America (USA), his priority is to make a unique global statement with the song, Oyibobo and subsequent ones, thereby cementing the position of Nigeria as the fastest-growing music industry in the world.

Cheating on your lover will kill you, Medically - Research
A wealth of studies show that men who cheat on their wives risk not only their marriage but also their cardiac health.
Liaisons away from home and with younger women are particularly dangerous.
The warnings come from Italian researchers who reviewed previous studies on the causes of infidelity and its effects.
These showed 'sudden coital death' to be much more common when a man was meeting his mistress than when he was with his wife.
The researchers can't be sure why but put forward a variety of reasons, including a guilty conscience.
The review's authors, from the University of Florence, began by scouring medical literature for research papers including the words "unfaithfulness", "extramarital affairs", "infidelity" and "men".
This provided information about the type of man who is unfaithful and the potential consequences.
The analysis showed that heart attacks, including fatal ones, were relatively rare when a man was having sex with his wife at home. But when he started to play away, the dangers grew.
German studies show that most men who died during sex were having an affair and meeting away from the family home. Furred-up arteries were blamed for more than a third of the deaths – the physical demands of sex is said to cause the fatty plaque that has built up inside arteries to rupture.

Big Brother: Mampi takes her big bakasi out of the house
Ok guys usually dont care whats going on in the Big brother house. But once in a while when we find ourselves caught watching the show, the main attraction is the ladies. Mampi and her behind(which she knows how to throw around) is one of the reasons some guys stay glued for a bit longer.
Mampi became the first Upville housemate to be evicted from Big Brother StarGame on Sunday night. The Zambian was sent home after receiving the fewest country votes from Africa this week. She was also the most-nominated Upville housemate, with 6 nominations from her peers.
Having had a week off from the pressures of a looming eviction, normal service resumed in Downville as the random nomination process returned – leaving Ghana's Mildred and Keitta and Botswana's Edith and Eve up for eviction this week.

The Monalisa Chinda, Joe Ben relationship
Joseph Benjamin popularly known as Joe Ben is definitely one of the hottest single male actors in the industry. It is common knowledge that many actresses had tried to get the better side of him, but the smooth player is always so elusive. He hardly hangs out after any shoot. He quickly disappears from the set whenever his takes are over.
Though he is not known with any lasting relationships, there has always been a suspicion that he and Monalisa Chinda has a special relationship. The two had been casted as lovers and married couple in recent times, and have been on various set together in many other movies. Though it is hard to pin-point, there seem to be chemistry between the two. Joseph and Monalisa are always having time out together in between shoots. When there is a break, they usually don't stay with other actors, but with each other, chatting away.
In a chat, Joe confirms his likeness for Monalisa Chinda, though he claims it is merely a professional thing. "Working with Monalisa Chinda has been amazing, I can't explain what I feel but there's something about her that makes her stand out. She is just a great person. I have worked with her before and would love to work with her over and over again." Obsession you might say.
Monalisa Chinda, had been married once to Dejo Richard, a musician and business man, and the marriage produced a daughter. A year after they parted ways, Dejo Richards got married to an American based cousin of Hip Hop World's Ayo Animashaun.
Speaking of divorces in Nollywood, Joe says; "It's because the actresses in question are married to people outside lime light, for me the thing called marriage is not worth rushing into. Some get married for wrong reasons which lead to physical abuse and the only way out is to separate," he said.

16yrs old genius solves 300yrs old mathematics problem
Shouryya Ray worked out how to calculate exactly the path of a projectile under gravity and subject to air resistance, The (London) Sunday Times reported.
The Indian-born teen said he solved the problem that had stumped mathematicians for centuries while working on a school project.
Mr Ray won a research award for his efforts and has been labeled a genius by the German media, but he put it down to "curiosity and schoolboy naivety".
"When it was explained to us that the problems had no solutions, I thought to myself, 'well, there's no harm in trying,'" he said.
Mr Ray's family moved to Germany when he was 12 after his engineer father got a job at a technical college. He said his father instilled in him a "hunger for mathematics" and taught him calculus at the age of six.
Mr Ray's father, Subhashis, said his son's mathematical prowess quickly outstripped his own considerable knowledge.

After a 7 day opinion poll, many readers have let their views known about Funke Akindele's marriage to hold on Saturday. As you know by now, the actress is getting married to an already married man.
From the poll we gathered that 34.7% of Nigerians(respondents) think that there is nothing wrong with the marriage. 13 percent express their displeasure. How dare she? they ask. 21 % however had mixed feelings about the whole affair. They believe that it is good and bad at the same time. the second largest group of voters are those who do not care about what happens to Funke Akindele.
So there you have it. If you are a star, people will support you if you snatch someone else's man. You will be an 'ashewo' if you were just an ordinary Nigerian woman.
I will leave the poll result on the page for a while to prove the point.

Big deal!!! Wizkid gets BET nominations
"When I heard the news, I was more than happy I was ecstatic. For me to be nominated for BET Awards tells me that my music is beginning to make an impact in places, far places" Wizkid told journalists in Lagos.
He continues "I would like to thank EME for supporting me. I would also like to thank all the DJs and the OAPs who have had my back all this while. Most importantly I would also like to thank my fans, this wouldn't have been possible without them"
Last year Wizkid shocked many pundits by winning the Best African Act at the 2011 edition of the MOBO Awards. He beat seasoned artistes like Seun Kuti and D'Banj to the international prize.
The BET Awards will take place on July 1, 2012 at the Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium. International pop stars Beyonce and Kanye West lead the BET 2012 Awards nominations with Kanye having 7 nominations and Beyonce having six.
Meanwhile, It is a few days to the hugely anticipated EME tour, and there is no doubt that the unbeatable team is not about slowing down any time soon!
Just before heading to the UK, WizKid, Skales and DJ Xclusive will be performing in Lusaka, Zambia on May 25, 2012 at the Barclays Sports Center.
"We have spent huge resources planning to make sure this tour is not like anything our fans have seen before; this is very big for us, we believe with God and the fans on our side, we will make Nigeria and Africa proud' says EME director Banky W.
I had hypertension - Ola of Big brother reveals
Immediately I heard Ola and Chis were returning yesterday, I dropped all I was doing and dashed off to the airport. But the hold up at Mobolaji Bank Anthony way could not let me get to the arrival of MMA on time. With several calls to MNET, I was able to have a brief chat with the two this afternoon.
The duo were all bubbly and full of life. You would not know that they had just gave up the chance to win N45,000,000. It was more than normal. It was more like the demeanor of two young men who has resigned to faith. Looking very closely at Ola, you could see underneath his "it is no big deal" attitude, there was a deep concern there. In the chat that ensued, I found out his greatest worry.

Tonto breaks 2 packets a day cigarette addiction
After many years of denials, controversial actress, Tonto Dike has finally agreed that she was indeed a smoker. She accepted the allegations by claiming she has just quit smoking. On her Tweeter page, on Monday morning, she said that she had good news for her friends and well wishers, then she announced that she had quit smoking.
"I have good news for those who wish me well. It's a silly good news but you all are going to love this. I quit smoking." Despite her numerous denials, those close to her knew that cigarette smoking was becoming a problem to her. She was said to finish a pack of 20 sticks before noon every day. The effect of it is clear from her voice, and darks lips which she easily covers up with lipstick.
Last year, Tonto was in a bitter war with fellow actor, Van Vicker when she reportedly puffed cigarette at. Many of her colleagues had been advising her to cut down on the habit. Though industry people were aware of her addiction, she would fight tooth and nail with anyone who says she does smoke. She had rained insults on a journalist who reported on her smoking habit, while maintaining that she does not smoke. So it came as a shock when she tweeted that she did not only reduce, but claims to have totally stopped smoking all together.
Tonto came into the industry in 2006 with a daring start. She had like her colleague, Cossy, showed some skin, to get attention. Unlike Cossy though, she did not do it wildly, she acted timid with an innocent looking face. She quickly got attention. Today, she has proven that she is indeed a good actress, and she has over 50 movies to her credit.
Woman sacked for having big breasts
Wearing a form-fitting sequined black dress and black leather, sequin-studded boots, Lauren Odes, 29, said her Orthodox Jewish employers at Native Intimates told her that outfit and others like it were "too hot" for the warehouse.
"We should not be judged by the size of our breasts or the shape of our body," Odes said.
Odes's attorney, celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, said she filed a gender and religious discrimination complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in New York.
Odes said she felt her wardrobe was appropriate for a business that sells "thongs with hearts placed in the female genital area and boy shorts for women that say 'hot' in the buttocks area."
Media photographers climbed on chairs and crashed into each other as Odes held a pose and Allred held up a series of purple, black and brown outfits she said also led to the woman's dismissal.
Odes said that on successive days during her week-long employment in late April she was warned that her attire was too alluring, that her breasts should be taped down to make them look smaller, and that she was asked to wear a red bathrobe to cover one outfit.

Joseph Benjamin, Funke Akindele married but living single
Nigerian movies usually have good stories but the production is always wrong. Except for a few of the. This is mostly because they are low budget. Watching Married living single however has changed my mentality. One can actually achieve good quality at a tight budget. Not that it was a cheap film, one could tell that the producer used good hands, and the output shows for it.
The media unveil was held during the week and the movie held journalists spell bound. Of course only a part of the movie was shown, and the question on everybody's mouth was, 'when will it get to the cinemas'. According to Ayo Akindele the Publicist to the distributors, Blue pictures' She explained that the movie will be out first on cinema from Monday and might later go on CD.
From the synopsis, the movie is all about relationships and how different folks get different strokes. First was a couple who had everything, money, good job and healthy children, but the wife (acted by Funke Akindele was such a workaholic and did not have time for her family. The husband (Joseph Benjamin) soon got fed up and thing started changing in the erstwhile peaceful home. The other home was that of a man who beats his wife at every opportunity, he too soon got what was coming to him.
The movie was the first I had seen Funke Akindele acting in English and also as a corporate woman. One could see her struggle with the role a bit, but she eventually caught the bug, and it was smooth sailing for her. Joseph Benjimine on his part was a little bit laid back, a big contrast to his usually sharp demeanour. That usually is the lot of self-employers as he portrayed in the movie.

Why Ola and Chris crashed out of Big Brother
Why this voluntary departure? Well, Ola has a medical condition that is forcing is blood pressure to dangerously high levels. In order to seek proper medical attention, he has to leave the house. And, as per the game rules, this means that Chris automatically has to the leave the house as well.
It was a teary farewell as they told the Downville house at large. Shocked laughter greeted the announcement, as most of their housemates thought it was a joke. However reality sunk in and soon the laughter turned to tears. Junia in particular had a hard time, as she and Ola had become particularly close over the 12 days (is it just 12 days?). Keitta was all torn up and Seydou managed to create some movie magic—and let out a manly single tear
Etoo makes Forbes list
That Samuel Eto'o is the highest earning African footballer is really not news, the Anzhi Makhachkala striker struck pay day with his move to Russia last year.
The surprising transfer to the Eastern European country effectively made the former Inter and Barcelona forward the highest paid footballer on earth.The May edition of Forbes Africa has listed the Cameroonian's weekly wages as $554,000, and $28.5 million annually.
This dwarfs the annual salary of second-placed Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure who previously held the top spot. Toure takes home an annual salary of $17.6m and is the highest paid player in the English Premier League.
Yaya confirmed his billing with his recent exploits that helped the Citizens win their first league title in 44 years.
Tottenham Hotspur's Emmanuel Adebayor comes in third place with an annual salary of $14m. His weekly wages are put at $268,000.

EFCC to battle JAMB exam malpractice
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approached the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for assistance in curbing malpractice in the conduct of public examinations in Nigeria.
JAMB Registrar and Chief Executive, Dibu Ojerinde, on Wednesday made this appeal when he paid the EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde, a courtesy visit in his office.
A statement from the anti-graft agency said Ojerinde noted that the most challenging issue confronting JAMB is the issue of examination malpractice.
He explained that although the mandate of JAMB is to conduct credible and valid examinations free of malpractice, the rising spate of sharp practices among students has become a cause for concern.

Sorry that it has been a while since my last post. We have had revival at our church and we have been sick for a few weeks too. I just wanted to share something that has been on my heart for a few weeks. Actually longer than that, but confirmed a few times through different speakers at our services.
Have you ever been through something really hard? Something that really tries your faith in God? Of course you have. I think most of us have. I loved the way that Bro. J.R. Gould said it. He said when your theology (what you know to be true about the Bible) doesn't match your experience (what is happening to you right now), you have a conflict of faith. Ever been there! I know I have. We know that the Bible says that God is Jehovah Rapha, our Healer, but when we get sick and we pray and we don't see anything change it is sometimes hard to keep believing that it's true. Or maybe you have prayed for a loved one to be healed, but they died anyway even though you were believing that God would spare them. Where do you go from there? You praise God?!
We know that God is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we read verses like Philippians 4:19 that says He will supply all of our needs, yet we are so broke that we are not even sure how we will keep the lights on. You praise God?! We read verses like I Thessalonians 5:18 that say to thank God in everything, but how do you do that when you are hurting so bad!
You know what. When God created us He did not do it so He could be our magic genie granting our every wish. He created us because He was lonely! Because He wanted someone who would fellowship with Him. We are made in the image of the Almighty God of the Universe!!! Kind of puts things into perspective some huh. When we do what we were created to do and fellowship with and worship our Creator things happen in the spirit realm that we are completely unaware of. Whether we feel like it or not if we will just let go and give God full control and tell Him that we trust Him, and though we lose everything, we will not stop trusting Him and worshipping Him, there is power there that will be unleashed.
We have to remember that time is in God's hands too. We may feel crunched for time, but often God is putting the other pieces of the puzzle together that we are totally unaware of. Just look through the Bible. Look at Joseph. He was wrongfully imprisoned for 13 years! Do you think he had a conflict of faith? Do you think that he ever wondered what God was doing and whether He had forgotten about him? Look at Abraham. God promised him that he would have a son when he was already an old man and Sarah was barren and already past menopause. To have a son at that point in time would have been a miracle, but then God made him wait another 25 years after that! He obviously got impatient by the fact that he had a son with Sarah's handmaid Hagar trying to take matters into his own hands. What about Job? He had everything then lost everything including all his children and his health. Talk about despair and a conflict of faith! If ever anyone had reason to question God I think Job did!
I don't think that it is necessarily wrong to question God, but we shouldn't blame God for our circumstances. We live in a cursed world and there is a Devil that absolutely despises God and will do anything to hurt Him and does so by attacking His children. Think about it. What would hurt you the most? For someone to hurt your children right?! Do you realize that even Jesus questioned God?! Remember on the cross when He asked God why He had forsaken Him? Do you ever feel like crying out, God why have you forsaken me? Well, we know from the Word that He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).
So when we feel like we are at the end of our rope. When it looks like there is nothing else to do, we should praise Him! I challenge you to give it a try. Though you may not feel like it, try putting on some worship music. Just tune everything out and thank God for the things that you do have. Give Him the praise and glory for the good things in life. Flowers, fresh air, whatever you can think of. I'm preaching to me too! Especially in the department of health, it is hard for me to keep faith.
God loves us so much. He set things in motion and he gave us a guideline in His Word to go by. He gave us a free will to choose whether to use it or not though, because as a loving God, He does not treat us as slaves forcing us to do what He says, but as children, lovingly guiding us and urging us to choose the right path. Though the right path may not be the easy path, it is always the best path. I encourage you to keep the faith no matter what your circumstances. Don't feel guilty for questioning God. Do give God the praise and glory. The greatest people in the Bible went through the hardest challenges, yet did not give up on God and kept praising Him in the midst. Are you destined for greatness?! Yes, you are!

Buffalo Wild Wings is now using Apple's iPad to take orders from customers.
The restaurant chain is moving forward with the second phase of a pilot project that allows customers to key in their food and drink orders right from the table using an iPad tablet. After testing the project in Toronto, the chain will now be trying out the technology at a Minneapolis location.
The tablet will not only allow customers to wordlessly stop their stomachs from growling, but lets them log in to Facebook and Twitter and play interactive games too. It is enclosed in a Hubworks case that features two to 15 hours of battery life and a credit card reader for authorizing transactions.
The project from Buffalo Wild Wings is still in its early phases, but with the increased presence of tablets being used for other purposes in the restaurant industry, it could be showing up at your dinner plate sooner rather than later.

The Evangel Phrase Book: Your key to speaking "Evangel-ese"
October 14th, 2013 | Ian Richardson
I grew up an Assemblies of God pastor's kid, and when I first came to Evangel I was extremely relieved to find that I fit right into the culture here. I found that it's a place where you won't be misunderstood if you make references to Fine Arts, church camp or Royal Rangers, a place where you won't get a funny look if you start quoting Veggie Tales, Bibleman or Adventures in Odyssey.
But I also soon found that Evangel is a place with a unique set of words and phrases that you probably won't hear on any other college campus. In fact, if you're here for the first time, you might get a little confused by the lingo. But never fear – I've compiled a brief phrase book to help you navigate the language of "Evangel-ese." The following are some terms you might find it handy to know:
1. PSpence
An affectionate title developed by students to refer to the legendary Evangel President Dr. Robert Spence, who is currently in his 40th and final year at the head of the university. It has yet to be seen whether President-Elect Dr. Carol Taylor will earn a similar nickname. I guess only time will tell.
2. The Food Dude
One of the many titles bestowed upon food services director Todd Lanning, who is one of the most visible and beloved personalities on campus. If you eat, you probably won't go very long without meeting this guy.
3. Carl the Clocktower and Fred the Firehydrant
Evangel's trademark clock tower, nicknamed Carl by students, stands stoically in the middle of the campus lawn, and in his shadow squats a little green-and-red fire hydrant we call Fred. When Carl isn't busy chiming on the hour and Fred isn't occupied tripping up students who aren't watching where they're going, they both bide their time as avid Twitter users. You can follow Carl @ClocktowerCarl and Fred @firehydrantfred.
One nice thing about homecoming is seeing all the alumni. They keep getting older, but I age flawlessly. #winning
— Fred The Firehydrant (@firehydrantfred) October 5, 2013
A big shout out to @ClocktowerCarl he's always been there to wake me up and let me know I'm late for chapel. #loveyoubud
— Shannon Farwell (@CaptainShanny) May 23, 2013
4. Zeke
The official name of the Evangel Crusader mascot. This guy is the champion of school spirit, whether he's revving up the crowd at sporting events or showing up on birthday cards sent out to students on their 21st birthdays.
5. Fishbowl
The area located in between the two sets of doors at each entrance to the residence halls. Since the second door in each residence hall can be entered by ID card access only, students can find themselves getting "caught in the fishbowl" while visiting another hall or coming in after curfew.
Well, there you have it. A few quick words to get you started when you find yourself having to converse with an Evangel student. Of course, there are a ton more I couldn't fit in – so I guess you'll just have to come and experience the place for yourself. Pretty soon I bet you'll be speaking the language like a pro too.

I want to cluster some 58000 data points. The similarity matrix for this size data set would have 3,364,000,000 elements. Even if it were reasonable to try to fit this into memory, it would take a fair amount of time to perform the operations. The trick is to avoid creating the matrix in the first place.
The matrix Q is defined like this:
;; M* is matrix multiply (define Q (let ((AT (M* A (transpose A)))) (M* D R-inverse AT D-inverse))).
and we will be multiplying this times a vector to find the second eigenvector. But instead of composing the matrix prior to multiplication, we'll leave the matrix in its factored form. That is, if a matrix has two factors, X and Y, and you want to multiply it times a vector, then this equivalence holds:
(M*V (M* X Y) v) <--> (M*V X (M*V Y v)).
So if we have a procedure that multiplies by Q:
(define do-q (let* ((AT (M* A (transpose A))) (Q (M* D R-inverse AT D-inverse))) (lambda (v) (M*V Q v)))).
we can rewrite it as:
(define do-q (let* ((TA (transpose A))) (lambda (v) (M*V D (M*V R-inverse (M*V A (M*V TA (M*V D-inverse v)))))))).
We've traded a single huge matrix multiply for a series of matrix-vector multiplies. This wouldn't normally be to our advantage, but the matrices D, R-inverse, and D-inverse are diagonal, so we can take advantage of that fact in two ways. First, since the off-diagonal elements are zero, we needn't multiply them. Second, since the off-diagonal elements are zero, we don't even need to represent them. This is a savings in memory and time because we now only need one vector ref to fetch the contents of the diagonal.
Matrix A, however, is still big, and its transpose, AT, isn't any smaller. But multiplying by a transpose on the left is the same as multiplying on the right, so we can rewrite the form like this:
(define DM*V diagonal-matrix*vector) (define DM*V vector*diagonal-matrix) (define do-q (lambda (v) (DM*V D (DM*V R-inverse (M*V A (V*DM (M*V D-inverse v) A)))))).
And now we don't need to transpose A.
Matrix A is still a big matrix, but it is only filled with zeros and ones. Most of the elements are zero. Rather than represent it in the obvious, naive way, we can represent it as a vector of rows where each row is a simple list of the columns that contain a one. Not only is this much smaller, it is much faster to multiply because we can skip the zero element.
(define (sparse-binary-matrix-times-vector matrix vector result-vector) (unless (= (car matrix) (vector-length vector)) (error "Cannot multiply")) (unless (= (vector-length result-vector) (matrix-height (cdr matrix))) (error "Cannot multiply")) (dotimes (row (matrix-height (cdr matrix)) result-vector) (let ((row-elements (vector-ref (cdr matrix) row))) (do ((tail row-elements (cdr tail))) ((null? tail)) (let ((column (car tail))) (vector-set! result-vector row (+ (vector-ref result-vector row) (vector-ref vector column)))))))).
With these changes we have completely eliminated the matrix multiply.
