Snowdon not affected by Labor's 'fiasco'
Federal Member for Lingiari Warren Snowdon has retained his portfolios after today's Cabinet reshuffle. He told 783 Mornings his take on the Labor Party's "fiasco" last week.

- Permalink
Mr Snowdon said he was disappointed Simon Crean called for a leadership spill in support of Kevin Rudd.
"I thought it was unfortunate he did that. He has been a very good minister and a very close friend of mine," he said.
"I was upset for him and didn't think it was necessary for him to do that but he took the view it was - so I respect him but I don't have to agree with him.
Simon Crean, along with seven other Labor MPs who supported Kevin Rudd, have now resigned, in a move Mr Snowdon approved of.
"I think it was appropriate they resigned. They were clearly not able to give their full support to the Prime Minister and so there was clearly only one avenue for them to take," he said.
"A small group of people have been undermining the leadership.
"I'm a very strong supporter of the Prime Minister...and I'm confident now we will move forward."
On the rollout of the National Broadband Network, Mr Snowdon said the withdrawal of contractor Syntheo was only a minor hiccup.
Now unsure of the timeline for the NBN's rollout in the Northern Territory, Mr Snowdon said the contract withdrawal was no cause for worry.
"It's not too big for the Northern Territory.
"I was very much part of decision making process that led to NBN in the first place - anyone who believes it's too hard isn't doing their job."
Work on reallocating $10m of Federal Funding for a renal clinic in Alice Springs is next on Mr Snowdon's agenda.
The money was knocked back by then-Health minister Dave Tollner, who said it would be too costly to operate, and is now available for other projects.
"We've started looking at proposals last week, we'll be going through that process and you'll have answer very soon," Mr Snowdon said.
The Prime Mnister's Cabinet reshuffle is detailed here.
Warren Snowdon's current portfolios are Veterans Affairs, Science and Personnel, Indigenous Health, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on the Centenary of Anzac.

Here's the promised image of the gorgeous yellow roses shot by my daughter Arundhati. My heart soars each time I spot them.... even the birds outside her window have been eyeing them since they were placed there...
This appeared in Sunday Times yesterday....
Narendra Modi's Diet Plan….
Move over Kareena Kapoor. Narendra Modi's Size Zero is the new mantra for a leaner, meaner and definitely sexier silhouette. You may be the hottest 'Heroine' in tinsel town with the best bod in the biz. But there's nobody to beat Hero Narendrabhai. Especially when it comes to nutrition and diet. He is poised to revolutionise the world of wellness with fresh definitions of what it takes to look awesome. So awesome, that the entire world is compelled to take notice of this unique weight loss programme. For starters it involves turning vegetarian. No problems with that. Vegetarianism is a rapidly growing food trend, as is evident from the number of fancy veggie gourmet options available worldwide these days. Eating 'ghaas-phoos' is now considered pretty cool and celebrities who shun meat are seen as role models for the movement. Then there are the Vegan diet freaks… macrobiotic food fanatics… vaghera, vaghera.The… ahem… bottom line remains the same – effective and healthy weight loss. But trust our Narendrabhai to give a new spin to all these fads and beliefs. Modi gives a new spin to almost everything in any case. Why not food?
In a recent interview to the Wall Street Journal, Modi was in a particularly expansive mood. Perhaps it was the diet dhokla he'd eaten for lunch. Or an oil free thepla. Asked about the high rate of malnutrition in the State of Gujarat, Modi glibly assured the interviewer that the problem was not one of a food shortage. It was more an aesthetic issue with the State's middle class. Apparently, middle class Gujaratis were more concerned about being beautiful (read: thin) to bother with health. It gets worse, Modi then went on to suggest that appearance conscious middle class mothers in his State eat the wrong food or eat less, so as to compete with today's standards of female attractiveness. This outrageous statement had women across the board up in arms. Leading the protest was Ambika Soni who huffed and puffed about Modi's insensitivity towards women who 'sacrifice' their own food to feed families. As we well know, a woman who starves herself in our society for the sake of her children, is seen as the ultimate mataji. Modi really should have known better.
Making malnutrition a vanity issue , is adding insult to injury. It is the poor in Gujarat who are suffering. As it is the poor across the world who are the real victims of malnutrition.Social Scientist Professor Ghanshyam Shah pointed out in a newspaper interview, "Bluntly speaking, it appears that either he does not know what he is speaking or he is terribly unaware of the ground reality. This issue is prevalent among poor and weaker sections like minorities,tribals, dalits and rural OBCs." Clearly, figure conscious, middle class ladies do not fall into this category. And someone needs to tell Modi there is a difference between fashionable anorexia and actual malnutrition. In fact, had Modi cared to pay some attention to a report tabled by his own health and family welfare department, he would have been more responsible while making those facetious comments to WSJ. According to the report, every second child below the age of five in Gujarat is underweight. An NSSO survey indicates that the average Gujarati diet has deteriorated due to poverty in the State. Modi's aggressive attempts to position Gujarat as a land of milk and honey are unfortunately not matched by statistics. Despite these depressing findings, a startling 42% of urban Indians are ready to accept Modi as the next Prime Minister. India is clearly starved in the leadership stakes.
Given Modi's radical views, his latest malnutrition missile should also be seen in the same context. Perhaps, the next beauty contest can be hosted by Modi in Gujarat. Our lovelies can benefit greatly from Modi's diet tips, since he is now a self declared expert on weight loss and nutrition. Publishers would happily give Modi a big, fat advance for a book on 'Thin is In – Modi-style'. The Modi Diet could become a global best seller. Let nobody ruin Modi's unique theory by pointing to the WHO report that states malnutrition is responsible for 54% of child mortality.Right now, Modi's on a roll. Ladies of Gujarat, do watch those waist ( not waste) lines. As for the starving folks of the State. Modi, the Marie Antoinette of the Bens and Bhais of Gujarat, may just roar, "Let them eat cake…. Err… make that mohan thaal."

I just read a great blog about the Who Do You Think You Are? series on TV at:
It rings oh, so true for us genealogists! Great blog, Greta!
However, I do have to add that I am so pleased that NBC is carrying that show, with the hope (my hope, at least) that it will inspire others to begin looking at their pasts and uncovering some of the mysteries that the rest of us have been banging our heads against the walls about for so many years! I have always said that I just know that the answers I am seeking are out there somewhere....it is just a matter of time before they are uncovered. I just hope that I can live long enough to find them!!!

Pitchers and catchers report to St. Lucie in three weeks and where is the sense of optimism that comes with the approaching baseball season?
In the past three years the Mets entered spring training without realistic hope save wishing they could muster a competitive season to keep their dwindling fan base interested and enthused.
This year included.
It is not healthy when the fans' biggest hopes are for the owners to sell and not trade their marquee player. The core three of David Wright, Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran is down to Wright, and nobody would be surprised if he got off to a fast start and the Mets dealt him in July. Believe me, the vultures are calling.
In scanning the Mets' roster, if you look ahead to next year, there is a handful of players I can realistically see coming back for spring training 2013. The list begins with Jason Bay and Johan Santana, both because they have contracts that make them nearly impossible to trade. In Santana's case, add the injury element.
Not included is Wright because the odds favor a trade. He's the Met who can bring the most young talent in return, despite being a young talent himself.
Young and cheap is the Mets' refrain to give us a list of Jon Niese, Dillon Gee, Josh Thole, Ike Davis, Ruben Tejada and Lucas Duda. Perhaps Andres Torres if he has a good year.
Niese and Dillon Gee are the only young starters in the current rotation with hope of being productive. Mike Pelfrey? Please. His is a make-or-break season. If he doesn't progress to show signs of 2010, there's no reason to bring him back. He is closer to becoming another Oliver Perez than being the answer.
The bullpen is a mix-and-match set of castoffs, hardly a group a progressive team builds around. I was optimistic about Bobby Parnell, but he's like Pelfrey with a foot already out the door.
This is the time of year for optimism and enthusiasm for the summer ahead. Every team is the same heading into February. But, that's just fantasy theory. The Mets aren't on equal footing with Washington, let alone Atlanta or Philadelphia.
In reality, the Mets cut payroll to where they can't add enough talent to compete in their division. In reality, Pelfrey and Wright are the only holdovers from the 2006 team that came within a strike of the World Series.
That's stark reality.
I previously wrote the Mets are paring costs in preparation for sale. This is their only hope to remain cost efficient because ticket sales are down, and with little hope of being competitive, the forecast is for an increasingly empty Citi Field.
When the Wilpon's financial problems surfaced and Sandy Alderson was brought in as caretaker, we knew this would be a long process, and with it years from resolution we're not even in the homestretch.

Hungarian GP 2007
Thursday Press Conference
DRIVERS: Robert KUBICA (BMW SAUBER), Kimi RAIKKONEN (FERRARI), Sebastian VETTEL (TORO ROSSO), Sakon YAMAMOTO (SPYKER)
Q: Sebastian, when did you know you were actually driving for Scuderia Toro Rosso?
Sebastian VETTEL: Well, at the beginning of the week. All our talks and stuff started a bit earlier than that but 100 percent I knew it at the start of the week and then on Tuesday there was the announcement, so it wasn't a long time ago.
Q: There were announcements from both Red Bull and BMW; are you a Red Bull Sauber driver first or Red Bull second? Which way round is it?
Vettel: I think the most important thing is that I was supported by both of them quite early on. Since 2005 I was supported by BMW as well and earlier than that by Red Bull. I did the race at Indy for BMW as a reserve driver (standing in) for Robert. For sure, as a race driver, you want to race, so I took the possibility to come to Toro Rosso and race.
Q: So what are your aims and goals for the rest of the season?
Vettel: It's difficult to predict because I've never been in the car, so tomorrow will be the first time but for sure, the car is not as strong as the top cars in front and there is a lot of work to do, but I think I can bring some motivation to the team and try my best to improve the situation and then finally get some points.
Q: And you've raced here before, or you've driven here before?
Vettel: Yes, I've driven here before, only two or three weeks ago in Renault World Series, so the last time I was in a racing car was here, so maybe that's kind of an advantage.
Q: Sakon, nice to see you again as well. You've been in GP2 this year; how has that been going?
Sakon YAMAMOTO: Yes, obviously last year, after I'd finished the Brazilian Grand Prix, I tried to become second driver for Super Aguri but they decided to use Anthony Davidson, so then we went into GP2. I decided to go into GP2 to try and get back into Formula One because I thought that was the best series in which to graduate to be a Formula One driver.
Q: And the season so far?
Yamamoto: Yeah, the season was really tough at the beginning but since the middle of the season we have been getting better with the set-up and so far it was OK and we were looking forward to a really good set-up for Hungary.
Q: How did Spyker drive come about?
Yamamoto: On the Sunday morning after we had finished the GP2 race (at Nurburgring) I heard the story from my manager and at that time, I was really surprised because I didn't expect that Spyker would make me an offer.
Q: So when did you last drive a Formula One car?
Yamamoto: The last time I drove was the Brazilian Grand Prix last year, but I also drove in the Abu Dhabi Festival.
Q: And you did some testing earlier on this year?
Yamamoto: No, I haven't had any testing this year, so it means that it will be the first time in a Formula One car this year.
Q: Is that going to be difficult?
Yamamoto: Well, yeah. Everything is different, so it shouldn't be so easy, but I know some stuff from driving for Jordan Grand Prix, so it was really easier for me to get familiar with the team. So for tomorrow, I want to use the maximum of three hours to make sure the seat fits and get to know as much as I can about the car.
Q: Robert, this is an anniversary, isn't it?
Robert KUBICA: Yeah, a bit, complete apart from Indy.
Q: This was your first Grand Prix last year.
Kubica: Yeah, it has been, that's right. Last year was a pretty up and down weekend for me here, finishing in the points only to be disqualified. This year I hope for a better weekend. The car is performing much better this year and we are looking pretty strong and of course probably a lot of Polish fans will come so I'm really looking forward to it.
Q: When you look back to a year ago, can you believe what has happened in the year since?
Kubica: Yeah, of course. In the end I'm a racing driver, I'm trying to get as much as possible out of the car. Of course, there were good moments but also bad moments as in life as a whole and all drivers had good memories and bad feelings. But we are concentrating on the future and this Grand Prix.
Q: Recently you seem to have been out-performing your team-mate. Do you feel that you're still making progress?
Kubica: I think in one's whole life you make progress. At every Grand Prix, every day you have a new experience which you have to use in the future. Of course, it's much harder now to get every - I don't say even tenth - half a tenth out of the car, out of yourself, from the tyres, but I think every Grand Prix teaches us a new lesson and we have to learn it and gain experience.
Q: So what are your hopes for this weekend?
Kubica: I think it will be difficult to fight against Ferrari and McLaren but I hope to be there, just behind them or maybe fighting with them, but this will be surprising if possible. And we need to use opportunities. We are coming from a not very successful weekend at Nurburgring, so I hope for good points for the team.
Q: And a lot of fans here?
Kubica: Yeah, already last year it was short term because I was announced on the Wednesday or Tuesday and there were a lot of people, so I was already surprised. Even last year in China or Japan there were a lot of Polish fans, and it's not easy to follow Formula One and I'm really surprised how many people were there and probably there will be a lot here.
Q: In fact, Kimi, it's the same with you; this is almost the Finnish home race, isn't it?
Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yeah, it's closest, at least. We usually get a lot of Finnish people here. It's easy to come and they have lots of different opportunities to come, and it's always nice to see them.
Q: Now, I keep hearing stories in the press room about a gorilla suit...
Raikkonen: (Laughs) Yeah, but was it really me? You don't know. You hear a lot of stories always from the people there, so...
Q: But you won. Are you going to disclaim the win?
Raikkonen: Yeah, we've got the trophy already. It was just a boat race and we just went for fun.
Q: Pole here in 2006, and you won in 2005 from fourth on the grid. What are your chances?
Raikkonen: I don't know really, it's a bit different to many other circuits, probably a bit more like Monaco but I think we have made some progress and we should be stronger than we were in Monaco. If this is closer to that, we could be in a good position, but we will really see tomorrow how the car works here.
Q: What have you been able to change since Monaco, because it was a problem on the twistier circuits.
Raikkonen: Yeah, but I think it's... OK, it's closest to Monaco here but this is still a proper circuit. We've got some new parts from the test last week, so I think they are going to help because it's quite bumpy here and we need to go over the kerbs, so hopefully it helps us.
Q: (Adrian Rodriguez Huber - Agencia EFE) A question for Robert. Were you surprised by any of the recent decisions from the doctors concerning who is able to race and who is not?
Kubica: No, why? I mean I can say only for myself. I understand the decision that I was not allowed to race in Indy and that's all I will say. I was pleased to be back in Magny-Cours.
Q: (Adrian Rodriguez Huber - Agencia EFE) What about Hamilton? [Lewis Hamilton was allowed to race after high-speed crash in Germany]
Kubica: I have not enough data. I was not in the car of Lewis and I do not know even what the impact was. I really don't care. I believe he was able to race because he was allowed to race. That's all.
Q: (Paolo Ianieri - La Gazzetta dello Sport) A question for Kimi. How do you see your chances in the championship? At the moment you are pretty far away and there are not many races to go.
Raikkonen: Well, I am not any further away than before the last race. We had a bad result but we didn't get more far away in the points, so... You see like in the last race many things happened and suddenly some people gain many points on the leader and some people not. But there are still many races, so we keep pushing and if we can keep the speed that we have had in the last five races I think still we have every chance.
Q: (Dan Knutson - National Speed Sport News) Sebastian, you are coming from a team that you just tested with [BMW Sauber] who are a front running team, to a team that runs at the back. Was that any consternation for you? Did you worry about that? Or was it just that you wanted to race no matter what team it was?
Vettel: Everybody can understand that this year the testing regulations are very restrictive. You don't get to drive a lot. So the one that suffers most is the third driver, or even the two test drivers. Therefore, I think it was a very smart decision and a great opportunity for myself to do the step and that's it. For sure the car is not on the same basis as the BMW car for instance. But you know this is the challenge. The car is not up there but you know there is a lot to work on and a lot to improve so I try to do the best on the circuit and also off the circuit to improve the situation. I don't care too much what happened in the past I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.
Q: (Dan Knutson - National Speed Sport News) Kimi, McLaren withdrew Fernando Alonso from this press conference, I can only assume due to the situation between McLaren and Ferrari. Do you think that Ferrari should have had you not participating in this press conference either?
Raikkonen: I don't know what the reason is for this, maybe it is something else, so... I was happy to come here. I need to do the same thing either here or out there in the paddock, so for me it doesn't matter.
Q: (Paolo Ianieri - La Gazzetta dello Sport) Kimi, are you still worried about reliability problems with Ferrari? Or do you think here you are going to solve them once and for all?
Raikkonen: It is racing and you always can have some problems with the car. That's a part of it, unfortunately. I think so we understand the problem and we have made some improvements already and we are pretty sure it is not going to happen again. But like I said, you never know. I was happy after Saturday at the qualifying but like I say the race is so long that anything can happen and we couldn't finish the race unfortunately. So we know we can be fast but it is too early to say, but technically we are pushing to improve the reliability.
Q: (Ian Parkes - The Press Association) Kimi, can you just tell us your reaction last Thursday when the World Motor Sport Council gave their decision? Were you as angry as the rest of the team seem to have been? And similarly what was your reaction this week when you heard the case will go to the court of appeal?
Raikkonen: I haven't really followed it too much apart from what I hear from other people and I don't really want to get involved, so it doesn't matter if I like it or not. What I think isn't going to change things, so I just follow what happens and there are people who make decisions. I guess for everything there is a reason, so we will see what happens in the future.
Q: (Ian Parkes - The Press Association) Is there a sense between you and Felipe [Massa] that you want to prove Ferrari on the track rather than everything that is happening off the track?
Raikkonen: For sure we are going to push as hard as we can to win races and fight for every victory, every point. That's the only way of racing. We are not waiting to gain some advantage in any other way. That is a completely different story and we keep racing as before. So hopefully we can catch up.
Q: (Byron Young - The Daily Mirror) Kimi, in a letter from Ron Dennis to the Italian Motorsport Authority today he suggested that the Ferrari was illegal for the first race in Australia.
Raikkonen: I don't know anything about the letter at all. So I guess we would have been disqualified if we had been not legal, so probably he was not right.
Q: (Heinz Pruller - Kronen Zeitung) Gentlemen, what are you planning for the holiday time? Kimi, on the boat probably?
Raikkonen: I don't know, I don't have any plans. For sure something fun, so we'll see.
Kubica: I have already had a holiday, so I will do the same as I'm doing here. So really nothing special.
Yamamoto: I am planning to go back to Japan for five days.
Vettel: I think nothing special. There is a lot for me to catch up. So I try to do some work outs, a bit more than in the past maybe, and just try to get fit for the next race.
Q: (Panos Diamantis - Car and Driver) Kimi, you said at the Nurburgring that your car being light on fuel was less good than being heavy on fuel. Do you think that compromises your strategy a bit?
Raikkonen: No, my car was good in qualifying. In the race maybe we didn't get the tyres working as we wanted. The first two qualifying sessions don't make much of a difference, the last qualifying is all that counts. We had a perfect car and we had plenty of fuel in the car, so...
Q: Kimi, are you satisfied that Ferrari can now manage the super-soft tyres? Because it seemed in Monaco and Canada that there was some kind of problem with those.
Raikkonen: I don't think we had any problem with the tyres, we just weren't as strong maybe at those races as we have been in some others. We still have been using the soft tyres better than the rest in the last races, so I don't see that we have had any problems at any point.
Q: (Ian Parkes - The Press Association) Kimi, you have said that you are not too concerned about what is going on behind the scenes. But is it a sort of frustration or annoyance that all this is still going on in the background? And also are you a believer that the race should be won on the racetrack rather than in the courtroom?
Raikkonen: For sure I think so whatever happens in the coming weeks or months in the championship for sure for everybody it would be nicer to decide it on the circuit. But sometimes there are some other issues that are going to get involved in the whole situation. But I don't know too much about the whole situation and the details, so I can't really say anything about it. You hear things, but you hear many different things on the same story, so I just wait and see what happens and keep doing my own thing.

The Bears made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday and left themselves with one open roster spot when everything was said and done.
That spot is no longer open. The Bears announced that they have re-signed defensive tackle Amobi Okoye two weeks after cutting him loose.
It's Okoye's third stint with the Bears overall. He spent the 2011 season with the team, signed with the Buccaneers in the offseason and then wound up back with the Bears after failing to make Tampa's roster in the summer. Okoye, who was the 10th overall pick of the 2007 draft by the Texans, played six games for the Bears before getting released when the team signed offensive lineman Andre Gurode. Gurode was cut on Tuesday, though, so Okoye is back in the fold.
Defensive tackle Stephen Paea missed last Sunday's loss to the Vikings with a foot injury, limiting Chicago's depth and providing a potential reason for Okoye's return to Chicago so soon after the team decided they no longer required his services. The Bears return to practice on Wednesday, which will give us our first glimpse into Paea's status.

My wife and I went to China to get a daughter. Getting a golfer was a bonus.
Like most adoptive parents – especially those within the close-knit community of families who fly halfway around the world to adopt the abandoned orphans of China – we had no idea what to expect. Throughout the process, which includes mountains of paperwork, home-studies, interviews and mind-numbing interactions with immigration officials, we kept our eyes opened for parents of adopted Asian girls. Would our daughter be like the others we saw? Would she be dainty and demure? And how would she fit into our large, eclectic family?
Turns out, nothing was as we expected.
Steve Eubanks is a former PGA professional, author, columnist and contributing editor at PGA.com. He shares his thoughts here each week.
We picked her up at a camera store in Kunming, a "midsized" Chinese city of 6.8 million people. Nobody told us about the process ahead of time. Our adoption group was ushered into the store where we milled around the disposable cameras for a few minutes until one of the impatient future moms said, "Why are we here?"
Only then did we learn that the orphanage would deliver our children to the aisle near the zoom lenses. Within minutes, a bus full of nannies, infants, and toddlers stopped on the curb. Then, in a perfunctory ceremony that made the DMV look exciting, our daughter, Liza, was plopped on the floor in front of us by a young woman who was gone in seconds.
The poor child reacted as you might expect. She was 16 months old and had never seen a Caucasian person, never flown in an airplane, ridden in a car, eaten Cheerios, or even been in an elevator, all of which we subjected her to in a matter of hours.
Once home she adapted quickly, teaching herself to swim by the end of her first American summer and learning the proper way to attack corn on the cob on the Fourth of July. She also realized that golf was an integral part of our family. So, she dutifully grabbed the shortest club she could find and started making swings.
This was a thrill I didn't expect. As the father of five sons, I had suffered through dusty Little League games and sat on cold, metal bleachers to watch poorly coached football. None of my boys wanted to play golf. My 22-year-old son (who plays at least three days a week now) told me, "I hated golf when we were kids."
But I got a second chance. At about age six, Liza started crawling into my lap and saying, "Daddy, can we please go hit golf balls?"
You can guess how many times I said "no."
She is 11 now, and my wife and I are fully engaged in the junior golf scene. Last summer she won six out of nine events she entered, and this year she has two wins, a second, and a third to her credit.
There are times when I have to temper her competitiveness. When one of her tee shots flew just under 200 yards (a large poke for an 11-year-old girl) she banged her club on the ground and snatched up her tee.
"How can you be upset at that shot?" I asked.
She said, "I was trying to turn it over, but it slid right."
"Liza, 95-percent of the women who play golf would kill to hit a shot like that."
She stared at me for a second, and then said, "I don't play to their standards. I play to mine."
Such are the travails of raising someone who loves the game. At a local parent-child, my pre-game pep talk involved telling her, "Honey, we're just here to have a good time. It's alternate shot. You're going to miss some shots and so am I, so let's not worry about it and just have fun."
She agreed, but that didn't stop her from trolling the range during warm-ups to check out the competition. Before we teed off she said, "Dad, I know we're just playing for fun, but we could win this thing."
I knew we were in trouble when she hit a 7-iron approach to six feet on the first hole, turned to me and said, "You can make that, can't you?"
We won by nine shots.
Nothing may come of this. Too many children are pushed by their parents into this activity or that. I have no intention of being that dad, and when I become a little too involved in the drama of 11-year-old girls' golf, my wife reminds me that there isn't a media center on site.
But having a daughter this passionate about golf has rekindled my interest and motivation in the game. I know now how my father felt when I was 12 years old and waiting for the sun to get high enough to see my opening tee shot. And I appreciate the family bond that is nurtured through the game.
If Liza's dreams come true she will compete at the next level and the next for many years to come. If they don't, then she and I will play golf together for the rest of my life. When those are your options, things are pretty good.
July is Family Golf Month, an initiative the PGA of America is promoting through the Play Golf America campaign. To help kick off that program, my daughter and I played with my two oldest sons on July 1.
Liza and I offered to split up, but being 20-something young men, the boys insisted that they could take us. When Liza hit an 8-iron to two feet on 12, we closed them out 8 & 6.
The trash-talk continued well into the evening as we grilled ribs and watched the final minutes of the AT&T National. Life couldn't get much better. And golf played a big part in that.

Welcome to Ask Willie D, an advice column wherein the prolific Geto Boys MC answers reader questions about matters, in his own words, "funny, serious or unpredictable." Something on your mind? Ask Willie D!

Dear Willie D:
My boyfriend behaves like he grew up in the sticks. Well, actually he did. He's from Pensacola, Florida, but he doesn't have to advertise it. He's a 36-year-old carpenter with a college degree, so you would think he'd know better. This is a man who leaves the seat up on the toilet, licks his fingers, blows his nose while sitting at the table for dinner, and refuses to tip without being reminded.
His sister is my cousin's girlfriend, so that's how we met. But she is nothing like him and he was certainly not like that when we met. His embarrassing antics are affecting our relationship. How do I get him to stop acting so uncivilized? I'm not planning on breaking up with him or anything; I just want to smooth out the rough edges.
What can you tell a 36-year-old grown man about manners that he hasn't already heard? His animal instincts seem to be on full display whenever he's in public. Have you considered donating him to the city zoo?
Maybe you should boycott going to restaurants or eating at the table with him until he's willing to behave more humanely. Because he does what he does out of habit, he can change.
In Asia, where many people eat with their hands, it's a sign of gratitude when you lick your fingers. It tells the host that you're enjoying your meal. But my Rome is America, and I can't stand to see people lick their fingers while eating. How much difference can slurping a gram of sauce off your index finger make to satisfying your hunger pains?
As irking as finger-licking is to me, it is absolutely disgusting to witness somebody blow his nose at the table, especially while I'm eating. Interestingly enough, I see this happening more often at fancy, expensive restaurants than at shabby ones in the hood. But what can you do about it?
As Jay-Z so eloquently put it, "You can pay for school but you can't buy class."
Dear Willie D:
For the past five years, I've been trapped in the friend zone with my BFF. He is the sweetest, most handsome guy I know. He has always been there for me and I have been there for him. We do everything together except have sex. We share some of the same friends and they are always teasing us about how we should hook up, but we just laugh and blow them off.
You have no idea how bad I want to just walk up to him and plant a big wet one on his lips. The only thing keeping me from doing so is I'm afraid that being in an intimate relationship might jeopardize our friendship.
Also, if his feelings aren't mutual I would be crushed. I just broke up with my boyfriend and he's single, so I feel like it's now or never. But being a girl I don't feel like it's ladylike for me to make the first move. From a guy perspective, if he liked me, wouldn't he have said so by now?
If your friend wants to take your relationship to the next level, he has already indicated it. You just have to pick up on his body language. Being overly protective, jealous of other guys in your life and touchy-feely gestures when he's around you are all tell-tale signs that he could be interested in being your boyfriend.
If I thought there might be a chance for me to be with the woman I loved, I would take it. If I fail, I fail, but nobody will ever be able to say I didn't try. When I'm on my deathbed, if I have any regrets let them be for the things I did, not for the things I wanted to do but didn't.
Go get your man!

The Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre (pronounced in-ka-meep) is a state-of-the-art interpretive centre located in Canada's only desert.
Although it is called Canada's only desert or a "pocket desert", you won't see sand dunes or the large saguaro cacti here. There is some debate as to whether Osoyoos is a true desert or not because of occasional rainy and snowy spells. The climate here, however, is the same as that of Phoenix, Arizona and the area supports many desert dwellers; creatures such as scorpions, rattlesnakes, and plants like the prickly-pear cactus.

Friday Mel and I went to go see Wicked at Shea's Theatre in Buffalo. Mel really wanted to see a Broadway musical so we bought tickets for our 3rd anniversary date.
I went into the play thinking I would enjoy it, but like most things of this nature, I figured I'd be glancing at my watch throughout the show wondering how much more time it had left. In other words, I didn't think I would love it.
My mind was changed. The production was phenomenal! Everything about it. First of all the music was moving, and the passion with which the actresses and actors sang with was breathtaking. The set and costumes were more enchanting than I thought possible. The story was so fun! I was caught up in it the moment the actors took stage.
One scene was particularly moving. Right before intermission they sing a song called 'defying gravity' which is by far the best song in the show. The buildup to the song was perfectly executed and when Elphaba gets on her broom for the first time and is lifted into the air the light,fog and other special effects combine with great vocals and instrumentals to bring even a skeptic such as myself to tears. And the crowd's reception of that performance was unlike anything I had seen or heard before. Truly marvelous.
I left the show feeling like I had left Plato's Cave (where I spend my whole day reading two-dimensional medical textbooks) and could now see the world a little better. I love when a good piece of art makes you feel that way. I am now a fan of musical theater and already have plans in the works to see Les Miserables next February.

I found this little gem of a recipe for Indonesian Meatballs while digging through my old ugly recipe box the other day. The recipe is from my family and I vague remember them sharing this dish years ago at family gatherings. I've had this recipe for Indonesian Meatballs saved for a number of years and since I had a pound of ground beef stashed in my freezer I thought I'd give it a shot. Indonesian Meatballs are made with ground beef, minced onion, garlic, nutmeg, cloves and finished with Indonesian soy sauce and fresh chopped tomato. These meatballs are moist, flavorful and tastes delish! Makes 2 dozen meatballs. Enjoy! Tessa
Meatball Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg
- big pinch of cloves
- 1 slice of bread soaked in 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/8 tsp white pepper
- 2 Tbs butter for frying (or more)
- garnish with thinly sliced green onions
Sauce Ingredients:
- 2-3 Tbs Indonesian Soy Sauce
- 1/2 beef bouillon cube
- 1 tomato chopped into large pieces
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tbs butter
In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together all of the meatball ingredients (except butter). Roll beef mixture into 24 golf ball sized balls. If the meat is too sticky to handle add a bit of bread crumbs to the mixture. Heat a large frying pan on a medium flame and add butter. Add meatballs to the pan, careful not to let them touch. You may have to brown the meatballs in batches if your pan is too small. Once the meatballs are evenly browned, add all the meatballs back to the pan, add sauce ingredients and cover. Cook on low for about a half an hour or 45 minutes, until the tomato has cooked down. Add additional water if necessary. Taste the sauce, correct your seasonings and serve. Makes 24 little appetizers.

Brothers, 3-1, pitched a complete game 3-0 shutout against USC-Upstate in an Atlantic Sun game Saturday afternoon at wet and gray Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium.
Originally scheduled to be a doubleheader, the second game was postponed until Sunday. The two teams will meet at noon in an attempt to complete the three-game series that has been hampered by cold and wet conditions since Friday.
Brothers, a junior left-hander, struck out a career-high 13 batters. He struck out 12 at Mercer March6 in a 10-8 win. He had previously struck out 11 at Mercer April 7, 2007. He only gave up four hits.
"Rex was really on," said Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand. "He was consistent. He was getting both his fastball and slider into the strike zone."
Every time Brothers pitches there are a number of professional scouts watching his every move and recording the speed of every pitch.
"Rex is a good pitcher even when he is not in the strike zone consistently like he was in this game," said Forehand. "But when he is challenging you with a 90-plus miles per hour fastball and his breaking ball it's hard to get good contact against him."
It was the second shutout of the season for the Bisons, but the first complete game shutout.
Offensively, the Bisons only had five hits against USC Upstate starter Matt Branham and reliever Tim Fournier.
Two of those hits were home runs, one each from Antonio Butler and Justin Sanders in the sixth inning.
Jay Moreland opened the inning when he reached base on an error by the left fielder. Butler brought him home with his first collegiate home run. With two outs Sanders hit a solo shot, his second of the season.
It was Butler's fourth multiple RBI game. He leads the team in that category.
"Antonio is young and he is learning," said Forehand. "We have to give him some more opportunities to get his confidence level up.
"He has some tools. He can really run."
Sanders has been the offensive leader for the Bisons since the first game of the season. He is at or near the top in most offensive categories in the conference.
"Justin is a tough out," said Forehand. "He has been our offensive guy so far. We would like to see what could happen if we got him some more help."
Ryan Wilkins had one hit, extending his streak to five games. He has the longest current heading streak on the team.
Senior right-hander Brandon McClurg (1-1, 2.81) is scheduled to start the first game Sunday. Junior right-hander Josh Smith (1-0, 4.26) will be on the mound for the second game.
The Bisons are 6-8, 3-1 in the A-Sun. USC Upstate is 5-8, 1-3 in the conference.

Hanami! Sakura! Spring snacks have also sprung
I am not one to require too much of a reason to throw a mini cream puff party in the office, but Beard Papa's announcement of karintō cream puffs was a good one; so, I take the liberty of starting this spring snack write-up with our impressions.
If you're not familiar, karintō are those things in the snack aisle or local dagashi-ya (sweet shop) that look like dirty twigs. The dirt, however, is brown sugar and the twig is best explained as "fried." Not fried "something" but just . . . fried. The main ingredient besides sugar is flour, and they're crunchy like cookies despite being cooked like doughnuts. By the time you get that far, it's only a couple leaps to the cream-puff idea.
The website copy calls it a "masterpiece confection that can be confidently recommended to karintō fans since it captures the flavor of the real thing." Here are some comments from our tasting panel . . .

I love to look at these quilts and think about how God has carefully and lovingly woven each of us. We are all different; and yet, He has sewn our lives together to make a beautiful quilt or tapestry. Somehow all the colors and patterns mesh beautifully together! We need each other and we need Him.
These are a few of my quilts. I do love a pretty quilt; and although mine are not old, they do seem to tell a story. If not my own childhood story, they remind me of times gone by. Quilts usually have pretty colors, soft fabrics and many times are made by loving hands. We use these quilts on our beds for extra warmth or to make pallets on the floor for the kids; we carry them on road trips; we use them for picnics and to make forts in the playroom. These quilts may not have a story from the past, but one day they will for my children.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. ~Psalm 139:13
May the colors of your life be bright and the threads in your life very strong. ~Genie Barnes
I plan to do a series on 'Marriage' each Sunday leading up to Valentine's Day as part of my 'Life Lessons' series; certainly not because I am any expert, but because of how great His mercy and grace has been during our journey to the cross. That journey to the cross, at times has been smooth walkin'; other times, there have been huge boulders in our path; and still other times, we have felt like hurling huge boulders at each other! I hope you will join me! Rob will be writing one of the posts about marriage from his perspective. That should be interesting!

"Our national celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is a tribute to the enormous impact he had on the promotion of civil rights in America. His legacy continues to inspire us today.
"We remember his personal struggle - his home was bombed, he was stabbed, he was assaulted while registering to vote, he was arrested and jailed and finally assassinated 32 years ago.
"We remember his words - 'I refuse to accept the view that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.'
"We remember how far we've come. We remember how far we have to go.
"As Lincoln grows in population and diversity, we must all re-commit ourselves to the principles for which Dr. King and other civil rights leaders fought - freedom, justice, human dignity and equal opportunity.
"I encourage the people of Lincoln to attend the events honoring Dr. King's legacy, including the community discussion on tolerance my office and the Gallup Organization are sponsoring Saturday afternoon. It is especially important that we help our children understand the important role he played and the role we all play in promoting the ideals our country cherishes."
The community discussion on tolerance is set for 1:30 to 3 p.m. Saturday, January 15, 2000 at the Education Center at Gallup's corporate headquarters, 301 S. 68th Street. The public is invited to attend this free event, and there is no need to pre-register.

First, let me explain that I have reviewed and approved other caches that are placed on school property. (I've found a few, too.) As long as the cache owner states that the cache is placed with the knowledge and permission of school officials, that's normally enough to get the cache approved -- even though it's possible that not every teacher, school administrator or facilities employee will be made aware of the geocache. As a result, geocachers may look suspicious and may be questioned if they're seen lurking around a school building during school hours, so it's up to each geocacher to decide if he or she wants to look for that particular cache.
Now, back to the cache in question. It was placed just outside the doors of an elementary school building by a teacher at the school. But what I did not know was that the teacher intended to leave the cache in place for just one day so his or her students could search for it and, in the process, learn about geocaching and how to use a GPS receiver. An admirable goal, to be sure. Teachers who make the extra effort to make school interesting and fun should be commended, and I do commend this teacher. However, the problem in this case is about cache permanence. Geocaches can't be listed on geocaching.com if the intent is to leave them in place for just one day. Quoting from the guidelines:
Cache PermanenceSo even though I didn't want to put a damper on this fun class project, I archived the cache this morning -- the very day that it was supposed to be in place for the students. I haven't heard for sure, but I assume the teacher was still able to conduct the geocaching demonstration with the kids, only without the element of looking up the coordinates on Geocaching.com.
When you report a cache on the Geocaching.com web site, geocachers should (and will) expect the cache to be there for a realistic and extended period of time. Therefore, caches that have the goal to move ("traveling caches"), or temporary caches (caches hidden for less than 3 months or for events) most likely will not be published. If you wish to hide caches for an event, bring printouts to the event and hand them out there.
We realize that it is possible that a planned long-term cache occasionally becomes finite because of concerns with the environment, missing or plundered caches, or the owner's decision to remove the cache for other valid reasons. Please do your best to research fully, hide wisely, and maintain properly for a long cache life.
Along the way, in addition to learning about navigation satellites and using a GPSR, my hope is that another valuable lesson was also imparted to the students. About reading directions.

Hamelman's 5 Grain sourdough Bread
Once more, reminded by Karin's blog, i bake another recipe out of Hamelman's "BREAD". The recipe, cast away behind Volkornbrot with flaxseeds in Sourdough Breads section, was unintentionally overlooked. Karin (hanseata)has Praised the bread, and i had to bake a mutigrain SD sourdough sometime, so i did.
The Recipe is 75% Bread flour, and 25% Whole rye flour. The hydration was 99% with all the grains, but i felt it needed 100g more water to the final dough. The dough was sticky, as noted by Hamelman. I slaped and folded the dough in 5 minutes intervals for 30 minutes, in order for the dough to have enough strength. At the end of the slap and fold, the dough was finally coherent and held shape. i suspect that such moderately intensive kneading did leach out much flavor from the Bread flour. How could it be avoided?
I adhered to Hamelman's instructions to the word, including final yeast addition. The fermentation with this dough is very fast, with bulk fermentation of 1 hour, and final fermentation of 1 hour. No folding was required.
The crumb was delightfully open, and was soft, not chewy. The crust was crunchy, and full of wholegrain flavor.
However, i would say that i was somewhat disappointed with the flavor, initially. The flavor will develop in time, but i believe that this bread lacked the intense SD flavor associated with the removal of yeast from final dough. God willing, I'll try this next without the yeast. However, i believe this bread excells when toasted!
Added by Edit:
This is a photo of tweaked steaming method i used for this bread:

Prescription Drug Take-Back to be held Saturday, April 26, 2014
Montgomery, Alabama - On April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., local law enforcement and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its eighth opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Citizens are encouraged to bring their prescription pills to a disposal site, but they should note that the DEA cannot accept liquids, needles, or "sharps," only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous, there will be no questions asked. To locate a disposal site near you, go to www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov
Citizens may also ask their local police departments and sheriff's offices for disposal locations. The DEA may be able to locate convenient disposal sites for you by calling 1-800-882-9539.
Last October, Americans turned in 324 tons (over 647,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at over 4,114 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners. When those results are combined with the seven previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 3.4 million pounds—more than 1,700 tons—of pills.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash— pose potential safety and health hazards.
"This Take Back day is one way that citizens can help combat the growing threat of prescription drugs," stated U.S. Attorney Beck. "We ask all of our citizens to use this day to help make their homes a safer place for their family and friends."
"Take Back is an important step in ridding our country of lethal, illegal drugs," stated DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Clay Morris. "The amount of drugs that we have disposed of in the past speaks volumes about the need to develop a convenient way to rid homes of unwanted or expired prescription drugs. Until such laws are passed, Law Enforcement is the only entity citizens can legally and safely dispose of these drugs."
The DEA is in the process of approving new regulations that implement the Safe and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an "ultimate user" (that is, a patient or their family member or pet owner) of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents' controlled substances in certain instances.
Each collection site will be supervised by a law enforcement officer due to the involvement of controlled substances.

Ralf Stockmann necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 171 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen (SUB Göttingen)
Goettingen State and University Library has been an innovative University information center since its founding in 1734. Setting standards in the field of library and information services, it contributes to the development of information infrastructures at the University of Göttingen, in the Federal State of Lower Saxony and, on a national level, in Germany. The satisfaction of our patrons from the scholarly community, the economy, and the public determines our actions. We shape the future of a knowledge-oriented society: through cooperation with leading institutions in the information field, by taking on special tasks in archiving and making information available (e.g., as the National Library for the 18th century, in the management of special-subject areas, in the Digitization Center), through cooperation in the solving of central questions of the worldwide networking of information supply with such focal points as standardization, electronic publishing, and knowledge-based development of the internet.
scholarly community, science, and the public.
SUB stands for innovation and research in the field of library and information services. Therefore, the new logo should emphasize vitality and progress rather than tradition and conservation.
The logo should consist of two parts:
a) an aesthetic rendering of the abbreviation "SUB" (capital or lower case letters) adjacent to b) the logotype "Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen"
Colors: The use of colors and gradients is limited (see specifications).
Typeface: the logotype "Niedersächsische Staats- und
Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen" (b) must be set in OPTIMA. For the graphic element "SUB" (a) no typeface is specified.
No books: Representational elements -- especially books -- are not desirable. The logo should restrain itself to an original rendering oft he letters "SUB" and establish this as a trademark. Supportive graphic elements are possible.
Features: Since the logo should not expire before 20 years, its design has to be expressive but timeless. Borrowing too heavily from trendy Web2.0 designs should be avoided.
Specifications: At least two variants have to be designed:
1) a letterhead version (dark on white paper, see sample at http://tinyurl.com/kvh4wn). Alignment (left, right) and font size may vary.
2) a web version for the website of Göttingen State and University Library (to be relaunched in January 2009) -- white or gray on dark blue (see sample at http://tinyurl.com/nhn9e9).
Here is an example of a logo that we like: http://tinyurl.com/mmegc9

I bumped into David Cameron in Starbucks - and talked Twitter
I bumped into David Cameron this morning - Tory Party leader and the man who would become Prime Minister in the UK should his party win the general election in May.
Actually, he slipped past me in the queue at Starbucks at St Pancras railway station. He went straight to a table without buying anything - and that set my sense of fair play twitching.
Turns out a colleague/assistant was doing the queueing for him, which I guess is fair enough?
I sat at the table next to him. At this point I thought he was just some young exec who looked a bit like David Cameron (I'd not met him before).
But when he opened his mouth to talk with said assistant the voice and content of their conversation was a heavy hint.
So I turned to him and asked: "You look familiar. Should I know you?"
He smiled. "Perhaps"
I raised an eyebrow, inviting clarification.
"I'm David Cameron, leader of The Conservative Party."
So. I shook his hand. Wished him luck. But told him I wouldn't be supporting him all the way.
I asked if I could take a snap (to tweet) and also whether he was using Twitter himself.
I told him I'd heard what he'd said about Twitter while being interview by Absolute Radio.
And he explained he didn't use it.
Politicians, he said, needed to think about what they said, before they said it.
He worried that those who tweeted all the time were sharing a stream of consciousness.
I said politicians ought not think too hard before they speak, they should tweet their stream of consciousness. I'd prefer the direct honesty.
And I cited John Prescott (@johnprescott) - and how for years the media had painted him as a bumbling fool - but Twitter enabled him to go direct to the public - to disintermediate the media - revealing the passionate and intelligent man Prescott actually is, rather than the charicature you see in the press.
Cameron did concede that Prescott is a very clever man - but also pointed out that the 140characters of Twitter were a blessed limitation on Prescott's tendency to verbosity. A fair point.
I don't suppose Cameron will start tweeting any time soon. Which is a shame.
Because I prefer my politicians to tell me what they honestly think and as directly as possibly. I want them to admit their human face, warts and all - rather than a mediated, bland/sanitised version of themselves.
Twitter enables that way better than any amount of 'press' ever can.
I only wish more politicians of all parties would give it a go. We may end up knowing who and what we're expected to vote for. And that would be a pleasant first.
UPDATE: Jonathan Macdonald shared an image that captures me sat on the next table to Cameron - just before I was sure who he was and started bending his ear. Watchers watching the watchers :-) View it larger here.

VANCOUVER VOTERS, 1886 (an excerpt from The British Columbia Genealogist, Volume 25 No. 1, March 1996)
This book of family histories is the result of a project begun to commemorate the Centennial of the city of Vancouver. Aside from producing a genealogical volume to honour the centennial, the British Columbia Genealogical Society has seen this event as instigator for a project of on-going growth and lasting Value to the archives, and to many family histories of early British Columbians. The value of recording the memories and details of pioneer families at this time, when early members are still with us, is immeasurable. The resulting archive will be a blessing to generations of future family historians.
The focus of this project is on the Families of the first voters in Vancouver. the basis used has been the 1886 Voters List of Vancouver. Although this was the first list generated, in reality it was created in October 1886, after the first civic election. No record exists of who voted in the first election and much controversy surrounded the whole affair.
An attempt has been made to gather as much material as possible on each of the 528 persons listed, and to trace their descendants. The "modus operandi" of the researchers on this project has generally been to use the City of Vancouver Archives vast resources in conjunction with old newspapers and cemetery records, all with the object of fleshing out the bones of the pioneer and finding the modern family. Subsequently, existing descendants were invited to participate by filling out a questionnaire. All correspondents have been encouraged to provide as much detail as they wish and have been given the opportunity to edit their resulting family history for accuracy, omissions and confidentiality.

Coping with high food prices in Pakistan
In the last three or four years, there has been a sharp rise in food prices in Gujrat, Pakistan, where I live--especially for commonly needed products such as wheat, sugar, vegetables, fruits, and grains.
My neighbors and friends say their incomes can't keep up with food and oil prices, so they are reducing their daily food intake. Before this food price spike, they ate three times a day, now it's twice.
