BRISTOL, Tenn. – Win and advance. When it comes to postseason play, that's what it's all about, and that's exactly what the King University women's volleyball team did on Wednesday night at the Student Center Complex. The Tornado fought through some adversity as their defense carried them to a 3-1 win over sixth seeded Limestone College to advance to the Conference Carolinas Tournament championship match on Saturday.
The first set was played very tight before Kelsey Griffitts ignited the Tornado offense with her first of three kills in the first set to even the frame a 9-9. Summer Kremer followed with back-to-back to kills to give King (32-4) at 11-9 advantage. Kremer posted another kill and the Saints took a timeout trailing 14-10. The Tornado ended 8-1 as Limestone (13-16) began to comeback. Limestone got back within two at 16-14 before Kremer gave momentum back to the Tornado with her fifth kill of the frame. Mariah Herington forced another Saint timeout with one of her three kills in the frame as King led 22-16. The Tornado went on to take the frame 25-19.
The Tornado trailed 14-13 in the second set before they went on a 4-1 run and looked to take control of the set as Limestone took a timeout trailing 17-15. King stretched their lead to 23-18 following a Maribeth Kern ace and it looked as though the Tornado would go up 2-0 as Griffitts gave King five chances at set point with a kill. However, Limestone came storming back, scoring six straight points to take a 25-24 lead. King rallied back to even the frame at 25, but the Saints scored the final two points to take the set 27-25.
In the third set, King held a 10-7 advantage before the Saints score three straight points to even the set. With score tied at 12, Limestone again rolled off three straight to take a 15-12 lead and force a King timeout. Out of the break, Lauren Willoughby sparked the Tornado offense with a kill, and evened the set at 15-15 with another kill. However, Limestone answered with three straight before King scored three straight behind kills from Griffitts and Olivia Underwood. King then trailed 20-19 before the offense went on a run as Kremer gave King a 20-19 lead with a kill. Underwood gave the Tornado a chance a set point with a kill before King took the set 25-21.
The Saints started the fourth set on roll, opening up an 8-3 lead before King gradually came back. Willoughby finally evened the set at 11-11, and the rest of the set was tight. King again held a three point lead at 18-15, but the Saints came back to even the set at 20. After a ball handling error Jordan Baty put King up by two, and Willoughby forced a Saint timeout at 23-21. Griffitts gave King their first chance at set point with her 13th kill of the match. After a Limestone point, Kremer came up with back-to-back kills to send King to their first Conference Carolinas Tournament championship match with the 26-24, 3-1 win.
Kremer paced the Tornado with 14 kills, and added 11 digs for her second double-double of the season. Griffitts was the only other Tornado to reach double figures with 13 kills while Willoughby chipped in with six kills in two sets. Payton Tipton led four King defenders in double figures with 22 digs. Casey Williams and Kern rounded out that group with 16 and 13 kills, respectively. Olivia Underwood dished out 42 assists.
With the win, King advances to take on top-seed Belmont Abbey College on Saturday in the Conference Carolinas Tournament championship. The match will be played at Belmont Abbey with first serve scheduled for 2:00 p.m. King has won 12 straight matches since falling at Belmont Abbey on October 23 while the Crusaders have won 21 straight matches. Their last loss came at King on September 20.

I've also been choosing a frame for Shell Sherree's original of the Gift Guide Drawing she did for me, which she very kindly sent all the way from Brisbane.
It makes me feel beautiful and important and I look forward to having affirmation of my imagined beauty and importance on the wall. Please erase my name from the guest-list for all your C-List parties and add me to the B-List, for the fancier canapés and the slightly more expensive wine.

UFC Fight Night 47 Results: Bader Decisions OSP in Snooze Fest, Pearson TKOs Maynard
Ryan Bader defeated Ovince St. Preux at UFC Fight Night 47. In the night's co-main event, Ross Pearson knocked out Gray Maynard.
There were other fights on the card. Most of them were pretty good. Unfortunately, terrible pacing really KILLED the card. It felt like an eternity between each fight. The six-fight main card started at 10 pm and didn't finish until after 1 am. Brutal.
Remember when the UFC said they'd "put the 'Bang' in Bangor?" They didn't.
Fortunately for you, we recapped the main card so you don't have to sit through hours of terrible Nos commercials. Enjoy!Read More DIGG THIS

Half a million people enrolled into private health care plans through Covered California in its first three months, with 85 percent of them receiving tax subsidies to help pay for coverage, according to state data released Tuesday.
The latest figures for October through December show about half of all who have enrolled are between the ages of 45 to 64 and are white. The data also show that nearly 28 percent of California residents who identify themselves as Asian also enrolled.
Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield California and Kaiser Permanente were the top three plans chosen.
State officials said they were pleased with the enrollment figures so far and believed they could reach their goals of adding between 487,000 and 696,000 subsidy-eligible Californians into health care by March 31.
But enrolling the younger uninsured and Latinos remains both challenging and important to implementation of the Affordable Care Act, said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California.
Of the so called "young invincibles" or those 18 to 34 years old, 24 percent were enrolled into policies. And of the 395,614 who listed their ethnicity, about 20 percent were Latino, Lee said.
Lee and others have said for the health care reform to succeed nationally, California must lead in implementing the ACA.
"We're in the process of both fine-tuning the way we assess our enrollment demographics and, more importantly, building on our focus to ensure that more Latinos apply for and enroll in coverage," Lee said. "We have much work to do over the next three months to build on our outreach to this important population and help those who have applied complete the process."
Focus groups with Latinos were conducted and the results will be used to improve campaigns for the community, said Covered California spokeswoman Anne Gonzalez. One criticism has been that Spanish language enrollment forms were not immediately available after Covered California launched enrollment in October.
"We unveiled the Spanish-language paper application at the beginning of the month, and we expect that to substantially boost enrollment among Latinos in the last half of our enrollment period," Gonzalez said. "Covered California is currently improving the Spanish language website. We're also trying to find ways to drive Latinos to brick-and-mortar locations for in-person assistance, such as county offices, where they can enroll in Covered California plans or Medi-Cal."
Even after aggressive enrollment efforts end, an estimated 3 million to 4 million Californians will remain uninsured according to some published reports and studies.
About 1 million of those are undocumented, and under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, excluded from participating.
Earlier this month, state Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Long Beach, said he planned to introduce legislation that would expand access to health care coverage to anyone in California, regardless of immigration status.
U.S. Rep. Tony Cardenas D-Arleta, said amending the federal law to include those who are undocumented is unlikely in the near future.
"Unfortunately, because of politics, those who are undocumented were not included in the ACA," Cardenas said. "I think it's critical for this community as a whole, documented or undocumented, to have access to insurance because in this country, if you're using the emergency department as your doctor, everyone is paying for it and it's expensive. Too many American citizens are using the emergency room as their primary care system. It's burdening the hospitals."
Among residents who qualify to apply for health plans, there is fear and distrust, Cardenas said.
"The challenge is getting them off the negativity ledge," Cardenas said. "There's been so much banter about how this is a horrible law, that this isn't going to work. The bottom line is there's a tremendous amount of skepticism."

As I've mentioned before, I'll keep posting this until the seats are sold out! Come on, loyal readers, come join us!
There's also a press release here and a lovely flyer you can download. Even if you can't join us, please help us promote the event!
This is another benefit for the scholarship fund in memory of my
sister. But this one might be a little more to your liking, seeing as
how it's a wine class.
Party Source has generously donated one of their excellent EQ
sessions, including the wine, the appetizers, and the expansive
knowledge of Jay Erisman. Come join us on Thurs, Sept 11, from 6-8 pm
at the EQ Center at The Party Source for a night learning about Up & Coming French Winemakers and Wine Regions, with a focus on red wines.
Cost for the event is $40 per person and 100% of your donation goes
to the scholarship fund. Isn't that cool? There are only
28 15 13 seats still
available for this before we have to mark it as Sold Out. It's a great
chance to learn more about French wine and help out a good cause as
well. Win/win – or perhaps, win/wine!
Tickets must be purchased online and it goes without saying (but I should say it anyway), you must be 21.
If you have any questions let me know. You can learn more about the Scholarship Fund at the official website, which is also where you can register for the tasting.

Oak and tasting
Since we have been making wine, we have never been big fans of oak. We look for subtle oak - not over the top. We rarely use more than 25% 1 year old oak for our wines and never new barrels. It isn't that we don't appreciated oak - instead, we want the terroir to show through on our wines not the cooper.
Even with our restrained approach, people seem to taste more oak in our wines then we do. I suspect it is because of our wines are more precise and always have reasonable acid levels. The acid brings out the oak? Perhaps we will have to experiment in the future and see what we think...

Re: NATTS Season 8 Starts Next Weekend (PC BB2, Fresh Teams)
I started playing with NATTS last season (S7), and found it to be a great group of coaches of mixed skill levels. The group is very active and most of the experienced coaches have been really helpful with pointing out basic play errors and helping me to be a better coach. Highly recommend it for all players.

Dungeon Hunter 3 has been a long time coming, but Gameloft finally delivered the Android version to the Google Play store today. Like recent Gameloft releases, DH3 is a freemium title, which has its ups and downs. You can grab the game for free right now, but be prepared to receive a couple spam alerts in your notification bar to buy more Gameloft coins.
"Hero, you are needed in battle! This is your time to conquer! Evil has once again flooded over the sacred land of Gothicus. Face your destiny and enter the endless waltz of battle, victory and glory. 16 massive arenas are waiting for you now. Hero, this is your time to conquer!"
If you can put up with all the freemium annoyances, DH3 looks like an awesome followup to DH2. The latest adventure has 16 different arenas, each of which can be played at 5 different levels of difficulty, to provide an extended replay value. Players can choose from 4 new classes — Warlord, Astromancer, Trickster or Shaman – and unlock over 1,000 items.
I still enjoy all the Gameloft games, so I'm downloading this now. Let me know if you give it a try and please chime in about Gameloft's freemium strategy.

(Log into Webmail, click on the Web for Students icon, and then select "Request to change division" on the left-hand menu.) Please note: Students may not switch divisions until they have completed their first year. The request form will be available beginning Thursday, October 27. The deadline for submitting the form is Monday, November 7, at 5:00 pm.
Fall 2011 Final Exams.
Exam Schedule. The final exam schedule for the current semester is available here. You will be notified of the classroom assignments for your exams prior to the start of exam period.
Exam Conflict/Reschedule Requests: October 27 – November 7. The Student Handbook requires that you take your final exams at the times scheduled unless you have an exam conflict (as defined below), or you have a "serious illness or other extraordinary or compelling reason" beyond your control. If you have an exam conflict or believe you have other reasons justifying the rescheduling of an exam, please complete the Final Exam Reschedule form. To complete the form, log into your Webmail account, click on the Web for Students icon, and navigate to the Final Exam Reschedule form. The form will be available beginning Thursday, October 27; the deadline for submitting an exam reschedule request is Monday, November 7, at 5:00 pm. If your request is approved, you will be notified later this semester of the rescheduled date, time, and location of your exam.
Under current policy, a student is deemed to have an "exam conflict" if the student has two exams at the same time, or has two or more exams within 24 hours (e.g., exams at 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., or at 6:00 p.m. and 1:15 the following afternoon). A conflict does not exist if two exams are scheduled exactly 24 hours apart (e.g., exams at 8:30 a.m. one morning and 8:30 a.m. the next morning).
Exams Method Registration: October 27 - November 7. Students have three choices for taking most exams: hand writing the exam, taking the exam on their own laptop computer, or taking the exam on a lab computer. Some professors do not permit one or more of these options (e.g., some require all students to hand write the exam).
Assuming your professor has authorized you to take the exam on computer, we will assume you are taking the exam on your own laptop. You need to register your exam-taking method only if you wish to hand-write the exam, or take it on a lab computer (subject to space availability). Please check with your professor if you are uncertain whether computer use will be permitted for your exam. If you choose the lab computer option but there are not enough spaces available, we will conduct a lottery after the close of the exam method registration period to determine who can use the lab computers. (This usually is not necessary, but occasionally we have more requests than we can accommodate for lab computers.)
If you wish to register to take an exam by hand or on a lab comuter, log into your Webmail account, click on the Web for Students icon, and navigate to the Exam Method Registration form. The form will be available beginning Thursday, October 27; the deadline for submitting an exam method request is Monday, November 7, at 5:00 pm.
Notice about SofTest: Students taking exams on laptop must download and install the SofTest exam-taking program. You will receive information from the Computer Center about when and how to do this. Even though you do not need to submit an Exam Method Registration form to use your laptop for exams, you do need to download and install SofTest. In addition, you must download the new version of SofTest even if you have an older version from a prior semester. You cannot use older versions of the program - you must have the new version of SofTest.
Unless a professor specifies otherwise, SofTest is configured to lock students out of other programs and services on their computers for the duration of the exam. This means that, unless a professor specifically authorizes access, students will not have access to notes, outlines, or other materials stored on their hard drive or the network.
Notice About Borrowing Laptops from the Computer Center: The Computer Center has a limited supply of laptop computers reserved for use in emergency situations that arise during exam period. Please contact Dean Sowle if you opt to take an exam on laptop, and your laptop suffers unexpected problems that cannot be remedied before your exam. The Computer Center's laptops also may be used (subject to availability) if your computer has problems immediately before or during an exam, as long as the problem is not due to your failing to properly configure or register your laptop to run the SofTest program. Because of limited supply, the Computer Center's laptops are not available for general loaning purposes during exam period. However, if you have exceptional circumstances that you believe justify borrowing a laptop for an exam, please contact Dean Sowle to discuss your situation.
Notice to Hand Writers: Students who are hand writing an exam will be placed in the same room used by laptop users for that exam. Hand writers will not be put in a separate room.
Official Student Withdrawal Process.Students wishing to request a leave of absence from their course of study or complete an official withdrawal from the university should now initiate the process online. To begin the process, log in to the MyIIT portal and under the 'Academics' tab, look for the 'Academic Affairs' channel.

Questions regarding the leave of absence or withdrawal process should be directed to email@example.com.

SSL have released Duende software v1.2 for free download. v1.2 contains a number of new features together with some fixes.
|Duende Software v1.2 New Features:
Input gain knob added to Channel offering 20db of gain and attenuation
Input meter added to Channel
Phase reverse switch added to Channel
By-pass All switch added to Channel offering latency free by-pass of all plug-in processing
Individual parameter readout above knobs when the mouse cursor is either hovered over or the knob is moved
Individual parameter readout above Stereo Bus Compressor knobs
Auto Release has now been implemented on the Stereo Bus Compressor
Duende Software v1.2 Bug Fixes:
Support for applications that use variable buffer sizes i.e. Waveburner
Offline bounce and freeze now supported in Nuendo 3 and Cubase SX 3
Metering response now corresponds to audio signal in AU and RTAS version
Logic live mode is now supported
Various AU graphic issues have now been resolved
An issue using Pro Tools with RTAS processor set to 1 is now fixed enabling 2 RTAS processors to be used alongside Duende
Due to added features (input gain etc) the parameter order has been changed for the Channel. The consequences of this are that projects previously loaded will Duende Channel plug-ins (from V1.0) will load incorrect settings. Unfortunately this cannot be avoided but a decision was made to do this in v1.2.1 rather than further down the line when more users have mixes utilising the Channel. The workaround is to press alt + shift whilst clicking on the version number in the bottom right of the GUI. This will remap the parameters so the previous setting is loaded correctly. When the project is then saved in the DAW the settings will stay permanent and this will not need to be done again. This must be done for each instance of the channel.

Robert over at Off the Presses has a piece, actually a couple, on the rise of New York Egg Creams, which is more a rebirth than a rise. The interesting part is that the vast majority of people think the Egg Cream was invented in New York around 1920 but that's probably not the case. And as I type that I realize I take my life in my hands and may forever be banished from New York. However, history is important and legends are often created by individual stories and not necessarily the facts. So here is what I know.
First, the article below is an excerpt from Fix the Pumps. Following that there is a recipe for an "Egg Chocolate" from 1897.
From "Fix the Pumps"
One of the few places you can order an ";egg cream", and not get a perplexed look, is New York. However, this is not the original egg cream found at 19th century soda fountains, even though native New Yorkers may vehemently oppose such as statement.
Prior to the New York version, egg creams were an evolution of the ice cream and egg sodas served at fountains throughout America. The unresolved question of who invented the ice cream soda was a hotly debated topic in the early 20th century, but the cities of Detroit and New Orleans are frequently cited. A similar debate rages about the egg cream.
In the March 8th, 1971 edition of New York magazine, Daniel Bell puts the creation of the egg cream in a candy store a few doors down from the corner of Second Avenue and Eighth Street in Brooklyn. It was supposedly created by his Uncle Hymie in the 1920s and the original recipe did include eggs and cream, just like the milk shakes from the 1880s.
There are others who claim ownership of this fountain creation, but the reality is the New York Egg Cream is a simplified version of the original Chocolate Milk Shake (Standard Manual of Soda by A. Emil Hiss, 1897).
The transition from the original recipe to the "adulterated" product—and the one New Yorkers drink today—made with chocolate syrup, milk and seltzer happened because of competition and economic decline.
If you've read Fix the Pumps you'll know that competition between soda fountains was fierce and price was always a serious consideration. Soda sippers had a psychological barrier at 5 cent, so most operators did everything they could to keep their basic drinks at that price point. As economic times grew more difficult, removing the egg, and then switching the cream to milk, was probably quite common. However, it is doubtful that these operators would change the name of the drink, and signage, every time they modified a recipe.
Logical answers are the least entertaining, but attrition can account for the egg cream version New Yorkers love today.
Here's the basic recipe for the Egg Cream:
New York Egg Cream
Whole Milk
Fox's U-Bet Chocolate Syrup
Soda Water
The Egg Chocolate or the Chocolate Milk Shake from the late 1800s was a very popular drink at the soda fountain, starting from the mid-1880s. Traditionally, all ";milk-shakes" were made with a whole egg and heavy cream or ice cream. The egg and sweet cream came out when the price wars ramped up, especially after the US government directly taxed soda fountain beverages in 1919 as part of the measures to recoup the costs of the Great War.
Egg Chocolate Shake (1897)
2 oz Chocolate Syrup
1 Whole Egg
1 Spoonful Cream
2 oz Cracked Ice
Soda Water to Fill
Instruction: Shake the egg, cream, syrup and ice until frothy. Add to a glass and fill with soda water. If desired the cream can be added as a float at the end.
With modern tastes, and waistlines, what they are it's probably a good thing that the Egg Cream has lightened up. We could almost consider the New York Egg Cream the diet version of the original.
If you are interested in some of the original "egg cream" recipes, pick up a copy of Fix the Pumps.
Writer, author of Fix the Pumps, chemist, beekeper and general do-er-of-things, Darcy can generally be found looking for new and interesting things to do, usually over a cocktail. Currently working on more soda fountain history.

Vous savez bien, fish, chips, tasse de thé, bouffe dégeu, temps de merde, marie poppins de mes deux... Londres !
Personnage(s): Avi
I could die right now Clem. I'm just...happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be.Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot... Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. So I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never had a problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin' "send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some guy from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile my buddy from Southie realizes the only reason he was over there was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish to scare up oil prices so they could turn a quick buck. A cute, little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And naturally they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink seven and sevens and play slalom with the icebergs and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil, and kills all the sea-life in the North Atlantic. So my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive so he's got to walk to the job interviews which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue-plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State.Will Hunting
So what'd I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure I'll eliminate the middle man. Why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? Christ, I could be elected President.

10 Rappers Who've Been Robbed In Recent History
Did 2 Chainz get robbed in San Francisco on Sunday? TMZ says yes, and they reportedly talked to the San Francisco Police Department to prove it. But 2 Chainz says no, and he claims that if he had been robbed, then photos of his missing stuff would have found their way to the Internet by now. "Rule #1," he wrote on Twitter yesterday, "if a rapper gets robbed people usually post items that has been taken. Rings, chains, watch, money etc."
So who's telling the truth? We don't know. But if 2 Chainz did get stuck up, there's really nothing for him to be ashamed of. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be the first—or the last—rapper to get robbed. Here, 10 other rappers who've also been reportedly robbed in recent history.

Champion, Canaries Shut Out Xs For Fourth Straight Win
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- The third time was the charm for the Sioux Falls Canaries. After missing on two prior chances, the Canaries won their fourth game in a row for the first time this year with a 2-0 defeat of the Sioux City Explorers on Friday night.
For the third time in four games, the Canaries arms blanked the opposition. This time it took the combined effort of starter Adam Champion and relievers Kirk Clark and Alan DeRatt. Champion (4-5) led the charge with seven scoreless innings. Clark pitched a perfect eighth, and DeRatt induced a game-ending double play after allowing runners on the corners in the ninth to notch his 11th save in as many attempts.
Canaries pitching has strung together 23 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, and they have allowed just three runs in the last four games.
Nick Van Stratten made the difference both at the plate and in the field. His leadoff home run in the third inning gave the Canaries a 1-0 lead.
In the fifth inning, he helped squash the Explorers' best scoring opportunity. With runners at second and third and nobody, he threw out Yusuke Inoguchi attempting to tag up on a fly ball. Champion then induced a groundout to end the inning.
The Canaries (22-32) added another run in the bottom of the fifth inning when Anthony Trajano led off with a double. He went to third on an error and scored on Cory Morales' sacrifice fly.
Champion earned his first win in exactly one month. He scattered six hits, walked two and struck out four in a quick game that lasted two hours and two minutes.
Sioux City starter Andy Noga (3-7) was a tough-luck loser in a complete-game. He yielded five hits with two walks and four strikeouts, as the Canaries beat him for the second time in three starts.
Bryan Pounds was 3-for-4 to lead the Explorers offense as their record fell to 23-30.
The Canaries pursue a four-game series sweep against the Explorers at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday at the Birdcage.

Upbeat health report for Mandela on 95th birthday
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Hospital visitors say Nelson Mandela smiled and nodded Thursday — his 95th birthday — and South Africans celebrated upbeat reports about the former president's health after weeks of worrying that he was on the verge of death.
Children sang "Happy Birthday" at school assemblies nationwide, and many honored the man known as "the father of the nation" by performing acts of charity for 67 minutes, symbolizing Mandela's 67 years of public service. World leaders praised the anti-apartheid leader's life of sacrifice and vision.
Outside the Pretoria hospital where Mandela was admitted for a recurring lung infection, well-wishers paid tribute to him and some received slices of a large birthday cake doled out from inside the compound.
"We don't only recognize him on this day. We put smiles on other people's faces, we donate to other people less fortunate," said Thato Williams, a 13-year-old student at Melpark Primary School in Johannesburg, where 700 students gathered in a hall filled with posters created to honor Mandela's contributions to peace and education.
Mandela remains very fragile, and many details of his medical condition have not been divulged or are tightly controlled by his family and President Jacob Zuma. The news that his health had improved was another dramatic turn in the life of a man who became a global figure of sacrifice and reconciliation during the fight against white minority rule in South Africa.
"When I visited him today, I found him really stable, and I was able to say, 'Happy Birthday,' and he was able to smile," Zuma said, according to the South African Press Association. His office had recently said Mandela's condition was critical but stable, but a statement Thursday said he was steadily improving.
Several months ago, Zuma gave an overly optimistic health assessment, but his remarks Thursday were matched by comments from some members of Mandela's family.
Mandela is making "remarkable progress," said one of his daughters, Zindzi, after tense weeks.
Granddaughter Tukwini Mandela said the day was "bittersweet" for the family.
"Obviously we're really grateful for people sending us good wishes and being generally supportive, but, you know, my grandfather is not well, he's in hospital," she added. "We would have preferred him to actually celebrate this day with us out of the hospital, but we are where we are, and we're just keeping our heads up and we're being strong."
Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, who also visited Mandela, described him as "smiling and alert."
"He opens his eyes and nods, as if to say: 'I'm here with you and appreciate what you're doing,'" she said.
Hospitalized since June 8, Mandela's outlook had seemed increasingly grim until his reported turnaround in recent days. Court documents filed by Mandela's family earlier this month had said Mandela was on life support.
Another Mandela granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela, poured soup for poor children at a charity event and said her family had been unsure about whether her grandfather would live to see his birthday.
"But because of the fighter that he is, he was able to fight a repressive system, and he was able, through God and everybody's prayers, to make it today," she said.
Thursday also marked the 15th wedding anniversary of Mandela and Graca Machel, the former first lady of Mozambique who has spent much of the time at her husband's side during his illness.
As part of his acts of charity, Zuma opened low-cost housing for poor black and white families in the Pretoria area. South Africa is struggling with high unemployment, labor unrest, service delivery shortcomings and other social challenges that have dampened the expectations of a better life for black South Africans after the end of apartheid two decades ago.
Retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu helped paint a school outside Cape Town, saying Mandela makes South Africans "walk tall" and urging compatriots to refrain from divisive behavior.
Elsewhere, social workers, military commanders and private company employees planted trees, cleaned classrooms and donated food, blankets and other basic necessities in poor areas. Doctors administered eye tests, inoculations and other medical treatments.
At the United Nations, where July 18 was declared Nelson Mandela International Day, former President Bill Clinton recalled getting to know him while in office. "His heart was so big, and his humanity so great that we often had trouble keeping our official roles apart from our personal friendship," Clinton said.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in a message read at the U.N., said "more than a billion Indian hearts rejoice and take pride in the life and mission of Nelson Mandela."
"The outpouring of love and the countless prayers that we have seen in recent days for Nelson Mandela only prove that there is something very deep and abiding in the human spirit that binds us across borders," said the statement, read by Indian U.N. Ambassador Asoke Kumar Mukerji.
Three astronauts on the International Space Station honored Mandela in a video message, with astronaut Karen Nyberg calling him "the symbol of what humankind must strive for: peace, brotherhood and a common goal to better every life on this planet."
Visiting Pretoria, European Union President Herman Van Rompuy packed food parcels and said his two sons were fans of Mandela, whom he described as "the brightest sun of South Africa."
Also known by his clan name Madiba, Mandela was jailed for 27 years under apartheid and led a difficult transition to democracy, becoming president in all-race elections in 1994. He served one five-year term, evolving into a global statesman and pursuing charitable causes after that. He retired from public life years ago.
"South Africa is a better place today than it was in 1994 and this is because of the contribution made by Madiba and his collective," the ruling African National Congress, once led by Mandela, said in a statement.
The ANC was the leading liberation movement during apartheid, and has dominated politics since the end of white rule. However, it has come under increasing criticism because of corruption scandals and frustration over poverty and other problems.
In recent months, the ANC and opposition groups have sought to emphasize their connections to Mandela's legacy in the fight for democracy, leading to accusations of political opportunism on both sides.
F.W. de Klerk, the last president of the apartheid era, said in a statement that Mandela's birthday "should be a time for quiet and respectful contemplation — and not for unseemly squabbling over the ownership of Mr. Mandela's heritage."
He continued: "Throughout his life he has been a loyal and stalwart member of the ANC — but I believe that through his example and through his unwavering commitment to national reconciliation — all South Africans, regardless of their race or political affiliation, can now proudly call him their own."
De Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela in 1993 because he effectively negotiated his own government out of power, working on a political transition with Mandela that allayed fears of all-out racial conflict.
Mandela's former wife said she wanted to reassure South Africans who fear the eventual death of Mandela, a unifying figure, would open the way to unrest.
"There are sometimes prophets of doom who say the country will come to a standstill," said Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, herself a prominent figure in the anti-apartheid movement, in an interview with South Africa's Radio 702.
However, she said: "The country will solidify, come together and carry on."
Associated Press writers Wandoo Makurdi in Johannesburg and Ron DePasquale at the United Nations contributed to this report.

For his fifth birthday party, my son William got it in his head that he wanted a fireman party. After much googling and Pinteresting (is that a verb now too?) I found some great inspiration, ideas and resources.
The cupcake wrappers were from Spaceships and Laser Beams, an amazing "no princess zone" Etsy shop full of amazing ideas and supplies for boys parties. The rest I made in Illustrator or Photoshop, including the images of Will wearing full fireman gear. (One of the images was from a dating website, but I didn't realize that until later...) The rest of the supplies were picked up at a dollar store, and luckily the boys had plenty of toy firetrucks around to use as decor.
For games, we played pin-the-tail-on-the-Dalmatian (the prize being a 101 Dalmatian book of course), hot potato (from a burning building) and freeze dance (un-related to the theme but a good way to focus their energy!). I also had planned a relay race in the backyard where they would pass each other a pair of my rubber boots, a fireman hat, and a big pail, but the weather did not cooperate. Luckily his birthday is near Hallowe'en and everyone was able to leave wearing a fireman's hat and with colouring pages and activity books provided by the local fire station.
Thanks Lisa! Readers, say hello to Lisa on Wicked & Weird.

1. Chapter 1
Rating 0/5 Word Count 660 Review this Chapter
I was running through a forest. It was cold. It was wet. I seemed to be running forever.
It was getting dark, and I kept falling over. I was covered in mud. The branches whipped at my face as I brushed passed them.
I stumbled once more, and fell straight on my face. I couldn't get up, and I started screaming.
"Bells? Bells, honey?" Someone asked.
I woke with a start- my eyelids popping open wide – and gasped. I met eyes with Charlie. I instantly realised I must have been dreaming, although it seemed so real.
"Bells, are you alright?" Charlie asked.
"Hmm...Oh yeah, sorry. It was just a nightmare." I replied, a little groggy.
"A nightmare?" He seemed surprised.
"I wasn't screaming?"
"No, I was just coming to check you were alright, and to tell you I'm going to Billy's now."
"Oh, I thought you weren't going until 12 p.m.?" I asked, confused.
"I am, honey. It's 11:50 a.m.," he said. "Are you okay? Do you feel alright?"
11:50 a.m.? That means I've slept for more than 12 hours. Weird.
"Yeah, I'm fine dad. Have fun!" I tried to say as cheerfully as I could. I was shocked by how long I had slept, and also by the disturbing dream. It was so vivid.
"Bye, Bells," Charlie said before he walked out of my room and closed the door behind him.
Even though I'd been asleep for so long, I still felt so tired.
I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. I immediately regretted it when I felt dizzy and had to sit down again.
But when I sat down, a sudden pain stabbed me in the stomach. I clamped my hand over my mouth a dashed to the bathroom.
After a few minutes of being violently sick in the toilet, I rested my head against the bathtub.
It had been 14 days since he left me. I was a fool to think he loved me, even that one night before my birthday, when he let down all of his boundaries. To think, everything he said, every kiss, every touch, was a lie.
I started to get up and walk towards the bathroom cabinet to try and find something to take away the dizziness and sickness.
I opened the cabinet and had a look around. At the back I found a little blue box which made me grab the sink for support.
I pulled out the box of tampons, held them in my hand, and just stared at them.
I started counting back in my head. My period was five days late.
No, this couldn't be! I couldn't be...I couldn't even think the word.
"No..." I whispered.
I dropped the box in the sink, and pulled up my t-shirt to reveal my stomach.
Right there, in between my hips, was a small, but defined bump.
I touched it with my hand. It was hard, but as soon as I touched it, I felt something move inside me.
This couldn't be right, the only person I had ever "done it" with, was a vampire for goodness sake!
Vampires couldn't have children, could they? We never really talked about it.
Maybe they could?
This meant I couldn't stay here. This baby was growing far too quickly, and it obviously wasn't human. What would that mean? My baby would drink blood? I mentally cringed.
I loved this baby, although I was half scared to death. Almost as if the baby could read my mind, I felt another little nudge in my stomach.
"It's okay, baby," I whispered. My little nudger.
This baby couldn't be delivered by a normal doctor. The baby would probably bite the doctor's finger off. Surprisingly, I gave a little giggle.
What would I do about Charlie? He couldn't know, and I couldn't just leave. He would have the whole police station searching for me.
I needed to find a vampire.

The Numark Mixtrack Pro II Has Landed
The Numark Mixtrack Pro II Has Landed
Mixtrack Pro II Features
The Mixtrack Pro II is a pro grade DJ Controller coming in at under £200. Of course quality control is nothing without the right software to go with it, that's why Numark bundle the Mixtrack with Serato Intro. There is an upgrade path to get the full blown Serato DJ, if you want to take your mixing to the next level. Serato is industry standard software and has recently been bolstered with a new range of quality effects powered by plugin masters iZotope. Being USB bus powered means you only need to take your laptop and Mixtrack to the gig without any extras or hassle, iTunes integration can help further and means you've got no hassle getting in, setup and playing.
Numark's Chris Roman explains:
"When we first released Mixtrack Pro, there was nothing else like it—it set the bar and gave DJs and aspiring DJs everywhere truly professional capabilities. Mixtrack Pro II is the next step of that evolution - the bar just got even higher."

Here are some of the ways you can use our click tracking software to make more money from your marketing...
Bring Your Traffic Stats To Life
Finally Understand What Your Traffic Numbers MEAN, With Confusion-Free, Easy-To-Understand Analytics
The confusion of checking stats is gone. With just one look at the dashboard you'll have access to absolutely everything you'd ever want to know about your traffic and numbers.
Plus, we replaced boring traffic data with fun, easy, and eye-pleasing charts and graphs so you can see in a glance how your campaigns are performing.
Even somebody who has never studied web traffic before will immediately understand the analytics generated by Click.org.
Split Testing 2.0
Easy Split-Testing System Reveals Which Content Generates The Most Conversions In REAL TIME
Split testing is the lifeblood of any online business because it lets you figure out which versions of your emails, ads, and other marketing content convert best.
But, as you know, split testing isn't always easy to use because they yield inconclusive results... Other times, you just don't have the traffic to do a meaningful test.
With our Split Testing 2.0, all the usual techie headaches associated with split testing have vanished.
Redirect To Capture Leads
Why Let Your Visitors Slip Away When You Can Redirect Them To A Higher Converting Page?
Normally if your prospect doesn't click your offer, they're gone and you don't get them back. But sometimes it's not your offer that's the problem. If they're using a mobile device to view a non-mobile friendly page, or they're from a different geographical location, or maybe they're not familiar with your company they can get "lost in the shuffle".
Instead of losing them, we use tools like Geo Targeting, Redirects, Mobile Browser Detection and IP rotation to send your traffic to where it has a higher chance of converting, helping you turn more visitors into customers.
Money-Making Marketing Pop-Ups
The Click.org Marketing Popup module can create urgency, increase engagement, build lists and drive massive amounts of new sales with just a few mouse clicks.
It works with any and all affiliate links, with no coding or messy stuff required.
With Click.org you can create 10 different types of popups including:
Yet another way you can increase clicks, engagement and make more money!
Click.org can not only shorten your links to take an ugly affiliate link and make it look pretty - but it can cloak them as well from website visitors and even search engines.
It can also create custom branded tracking links with unlimited tracking ID's using Click.org or your own custom domain name.
Link cloaking allows you to hide the destination URL of your link which helps to prevent commission theft.
That means no more lost or stolen affiliate commissions and long url's can be masked from website visitors.
There are so many ways you can rotate your clicks, you'll wonder how you ever lived without Click.org.
Send clicks to any offers any way you want and divy them up one link at a time, randomly or proportionally.
You're in complete control and all the click stats are conveniently sorted on the link stats page and are easily shareable with the buyers.
Our Marketing Popup module can create urgency, increase engagement, build lists and drive massive amounts of new sales with just a few clicks of the mouse. They work with any website, no coding or messy stuff required. With Click.org you can create 10 different types of popups including everything from timers, to exit popups, to popup subscription forms – literally anything you want! This is just another way you can increase clicks, engagement and make more money!
The split testing technology of Click.org goes far beyond the typical A/B testing.
Split test your landing pages to dramatically improve your conversion rates and maximize your ROI.
Using our built-in intelligent A/B split testing engine you can test and track an unlimited number of landing pages and we'll find the winner and redirect traffic to it automatically.
We'll also provide you with the full set of conversion data you need to get the most out of your marketing campaigns.
Promoting an offer that only allows traffic from certain countries? Or maybe you have a local business and only want traffic hitting your main site from your local area?
Why not redirect the 'other' traffic to a different site or page to prevent wasted clicks and lost money.
Or maybe you want to send people to a page on your site in their native language? No problem with our custom geo targeting module - you choose exactly which clicks from which country go where.
Retargeting is all the rage and if promoting an offer, buying traffic or generating your own, you can retarget it dirt cheap and triple your chances of making a sale.
Click.org can add a retargeting pixel to any link or website so you can retarget visitors on Facebook, Google or any other network you want. It's copy and paste easy.
Our conversion tracking is highly advanced and extremely accurate. It's what we do!
Track conversions using our conversion pixel, javascript or our postback URL. We can track sales, refunds and chargebacks for fixed prices or dynamically.
And did we mention our Intelligent Split Testing Engine that can automatically send more traffic to the winning offer?
Filter out fraudulent clicks from automatic bots, search engine spiders and any auto-generated clicks to keep your traffic good and clean.
You can even redirect this traffic somewhere else if you'd like. What you do with it is up to you.
Set the exact number of clicks you want to send to each link and click go. It's that easy.
Click.org will send exactly the amount of unique or non unique clicks you want to each link so you don't waste a single click.
And if you have any extra clicks, why not send them to an affiliate offer for some extra $$$?
When you have to wait for stats to show up in order to make adjustments, you're losing money. We don't like that.
So Click.org let's you watch the action as it happens, so you can make the changes that matter most when they matter most.
With one glance, you'll know more about your traffic than the NSA!
Imagine the power of being able to instantly know which country each click came from, the exact time that they got there, when it happened, and whether they were using Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Creepy I know. But it's worth money.
And once again, the colored charts make it "oh so easy" to see.
Click.org is crazy fast and extremely accurate. You won't even notice a difference because what we do happens in milliseconds no matter how you're targeting, redirecting or rotating your clicks.
We use multiple, blazingly fast, load balanced servers that work together to crunch the data in real time and record all your click details.
We pre-calculate our stats in every way imaginable so no matter how many clicks you send, you can see detailed analysis in seconds.
We believe in providing the best customer support possible.
Besides all our FAQ's, training tutorials and how to videos, we are the only click tracking and optimization company that provides customer support by phone, email and live chat.
So you can always get fast help when you need it!

Or you can set them to expire after a certain amount of time has passed or on any date you choose.
Expired links to be redirected to a different webpage or offer, automatically close the browser window or display a message of your choice.
When selling solo ads, you can filter out any clicks that are not email generated if your buyer doesn't want them and send them to someone who does.
We can detect when a clicks comes from an email and send it anywhere you want and send the others somewhere else, so your clicks always go to the best offers.

That means you never need to look anywhere...but Click.org
If someone didn't buy the first time around, why would you send 2nd and 3rd clicks from the same user to the same sales page. Why not automatically redirect them to a different variation of your landing page or maybe a different site altogether to maximize your earnings potential.
Is there someone out there who you don't want to see your site? Good. Because Click.org has access to the IP of every internet user on planet earth. With the click of a mouse you can block any one of them, from seeing any site you want. And then you can redirect them to anywhere you want. That's power. Use it wisely.
Don't want a Click.org's short http://trk.org domain in your marketing campaigns? Use your own custom branded domain instead - you don't even need web hosting and there's still nothing to install.

This is perfect if you sell email solo ads, clicks or any type of traffic or marketing and want to share the detailed click stats from the promo with the buyer.

Then they click on your links and you get free traffic.

Is your blog optimized as well as it could be?
Click.org can handle that. It will cloak every link on your blog and tell you exactly what's working and what isn't. I think you'll be surprised by what you find. Do you need clickbank affiliate links for your JVs? Or from any other network?
Say no more. Click.org creates links for all of these networks and lets you brand them however you like. Your links may just win a beauty contest:)

with an optional twist of "ADD A BUTTERFLY"
Hosted by Sherry
Hello, It's my turn to host a challenge. The theme is always Anything Goes but I added an optional twist of "Add A Butterfly". My daughter loved butterflies, so every time I see one it brings a smile to my face. Hope you have fun with this challenge. Here is my card and I used the digistamp
The challenge runs UNTIL 30 June 2017
My name is HeatherM. I'm a SAHM of two kids, a boy and a girl. I started coloring with markers when my daughter was 4, and I find that she influences my coloring. Most of my brighter color combinations are inspired by her. I've also dabbled in crafts ranging from stained glass and bead making to crochet. I'm a bit of a Star Wars fan, making nearly complete jedi costumes for my kids and myself, starting with drafting the tunic patterns and finishing with leather jedi belts.
