Just say No! to These Hair Trends
Time to say bye-bye to these hairstyles, bangs and hair colors . . . don't you think?
Fake-looking color jobs
We love when women get their hair colored and it looks beautiful and — more importantly, natural. But plenty of women (like Kristen Stewart, pictured above) who want to try out a darker hair color end up looking like they're wearing wigs.
Here's some advice, ladies: if you want to experiment with hair color, don't go more than a two shades darker or lighter than your natural hair color. And definitely don't dye your hair all one shade — natural hair color has variations, so should yours.
Sloppy bangs
When Zooey Deschanel had those perfect, adorable bangs in (500) Days of Summer, she set off a trend that would spread to women across the country. The truth is that many women just don't have the facial structure to pull off dramatic blunt bangs, but what's worse is when women get bangs and don't take the time to care of them, leaving something that resembles a style but ends up a sloppy mess instead.
Wearing your bangs a little messy is definitely a carefree, sexy look — Jennifer Garner pulls it off perfectly with her side-swept bangs in the photo above, but when it's more frizz and less "free spirit," we can't help but shake our heads. Bangs are a time investment, and if you're not willing to take some time to keep them trimmed and styled, don't get them!
Bad center parts
Oh, the hair part; it's tough to find one that works, but the same hair part surely doesn't work on everyone. But for a lot of women, there's one definite "don't" and that is the center part. The problem with the center part is that it draws your eye straight down the middle of your face, accenting your nose and splitting your face in half. If you have a round face shape or square face shape, it will accentuate that making your face appear more round or more square. I think in general, women with heart or diamond face shapes can pull this off, but for most of us . . . it's best to steer clear.
The literally just rolled out of bed head look
Effortless hairstyles, like side buns, low ponytails and loose braids are chic and sweet, but some women take "casual" to a whole new level. I'm talking about the ones who look like they hit the snooze button a few more times than they should have.
Even if you're running late, running a brush through your hair or putting it up with a pretty clip, may keep coworkers from thinking you just stepped out of a Ke$ha music video. Come on, Mary-Kate, even Ashley tries to make some effort a little more often. Which leads us to our next bad hair trend . . .
Blonde hair, dark roots
How did Michelle from "Full House" fall victim to the trap of bad, mismatched roots? I'm a big supporter of celebrating your natural hair color, but preferably more than just the top of your head will be showing it. It's hard to embrace this look when it just appears to be' grown out roots' you've ignored. A much better alternative to letting your natural hair color grow in is to match it and gradually foil it in as low lights.
No matter what hair trends are stirring up, the most important thing to remember is to wear your hair the way it looks best on YOU. The best hairstyles are the ones that help you look like your natural, best self! Stay up with all the happenings in hair trends by following our Pinterest Hair Trends Board.

VinniBag Bottle Protector
VinniBag is the answer to the call of Fra-gee-lay. Case in point: one time, back when I had a sugar mama, I went to Chilean wine country and while going through customs upon returning to my homeland I watched a dude pick up his suitcase from the baggage claim conveyor belt and a steady stream of wine was just pouring out of every one of its crevices. And I thought, You poor bastard. Everything you own is now ruined. Man am I glad I packed the wine in my girlfriend's luggage.
Engineered specifically to withstand air travel and high altitudes, VinniBag endeavors to prevent these very SOL experiences. And now that I'm single, responsible for transporting my own wine and other breakables across the world, I could probably use one. Though tailored to fit a 750mL wine bottle, VinniBag's design and composition can protect any glass or otherwise fragile item that fits within its inner pouch from jostling and impact, plus significant changes in air pressure and temperatures. Additional examples of VinniBag candidates include champagne, olive oil, certain spirit bottles, perfume, jams and other specialty foods in glass jars, and crystal vases.
VinniBag performs well during travel by air, car, boat, bike, rail, or backpack since its inner chamber's open architecture conforms to the enclosed object, immobilizing it and cushioning its entire surface area. When sealed, VinniBag also provides leakage protection, making it an option for storing shampoo bottles and other toiletries that tend to ooze during temperature and pressure changes.
VinniBag's are reusable for as long as they're properly cared for. Product dimensions are 23" long x 8-1/2" wide while flat and 16" long x 17-1/2" wide when inflated. It can hold bottles up to 13" tall.

Bill to grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants faces first test today
A bill that would grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants who have graduated from Colorado high schools faces its first test in a Senate committee today.
Senate Bill 126 will be heard in the Senate Education Committee today at 1:30 p.m. Testimony usually is long and passionate on the issue, so the hearing could take hours.
The bill's chances of passing the Democratic-controlled Senate appear to have greatly improved this year, but its prospects in the Republican-led House are still shaky.

UPDATE: "Suicidal" Man Eludes Major Police Response In Burien Thursday
UPDATE FRI. 6/18/10: According to Sgt. Jim Laing of the King County Sherriff's Department, Thursday's major police response on SW 124th was due to a "suicidal" 30-year old male who threatened to harm himself.
When someone threatens to harm themselves or others, King County's finest don't mess around – they show up in force.
Thursday's standoff lasted from around 1pm until 5:30/6pm, and when police finally entered the man's house, he was gone. As in escaped.
"He must've slipped out somehow," Laing said.
The good news is that nobody was injured.
PREVIOUSLY: On Thursday afternoon (June 17th) around 1pm, numerous Burien Police and King County Sheriff's officers responded to the second 'possibly armed person barricaded in a house' incident this week (last Sunday there was one near Lake Burien), this one located in a house west of Ambaum Blvd. SW at SW 124th.
At least 25 emergency vehicles converged on the scene, including police, sheriff's, unmarked cars, medics, fire, King County Sheriff's SWAT team, and a bomb squad RV.
This area has several large apartment buildings, which brought out 50 or so bystanders curious to know what was going on.
Reporter Gina Bourdage and Editor Scott Schaefer were also on the scene, and from what we learned (police don't like to talk much at these things), a man had barricaded himself inside a house, and had possibly threatened to use a gun. There may also have been mention of a bomb at one point, hence the callout for the bomb squad and SWAT teams.
Here are some of the things we witnessed:
- Burien City Councilmember Brian Bennett's wife was there, worried about her 9-month old child, who was apparently in a house across from where the barricaded person was located.
- SW 124th, west of Ambaum was blocked off by police.
- Armored police had high-powered rifles with scopes.
- King County Sheriff's black SWAT Team van arrived around 3:40pm.
- A bomb squad RV was stationed, and a bomb squad robot was brought out and readied.
- At one point traffic got so bad on Ambaum, that an older man in a BMW SUV hit the right rear end of an unmarked sheriff's cruiser.
- A truck form North Highline Fire Dept. had to exit to leave for a fire call around 3:45pm.
Here are photos shot on the scene by Scott Schaefer:

Tuesday's Letters
Dear Gavo, I forgive you for forgetting to get me something for Christmas. Your credit card ended up being such a great present, I might just ask for that from now on! Dear Littles, I had so much hanging out last week. It amazes me how fast you are growing up! Dear Monopoly, for the first time in my life, I WIN! And I will probably never play you again. A 4 hour game is enough for me. Dear 2012, Please be good to us!
Happy New Year friends! Sorry I've been MIA, but it's been a crazy few weeks! Can you believe it's a new year?! What are you hoping 2012 brings you?

Make-Up Days ... Suffolk Public Schools changed to school hours this year means additional instructional hours were built into the calendar. Up to nine missed days of school will be made up by these built-in hours. If additional days are missed due to inclement weather, the make-up schedule will be determined by the School Board. Hurricane closings used 3 of the 9 days, so 6 more banked days are available, covered by instructional hours in the schedule.

Commercial Vehicles is Flavour of the Month!
Dear Dealer Colleagues,
To begin with, let me give some good news. The private forecaster, Weather Risk Management Services (WRMS) has said that the June – September rainfall, which is better known as South West Monsoon, would be largely on the 'positive side of normal' (normal to above normal). This will have a direct impact on the Auto Sales and we should start planning our inventories keeping this news in mind!
The Auto Sector witnessed a mixed bag during the month of February 2018. While the new launches in passenger vehicles tried to keep the momentum going, fuel price rise, inflation and a spike in interest rates have played a dampener for the overall industry. Increasing urbanisation of rural India has taken the two wheeler segment into the next orbit of sales and growth.
Due to the Government's push for infrastructure development, streamlining of logistics and e-commerce sector post GST, restrictions on truck overloading, stimulus package for replacement buying, better monsoons over the years leading to better crop yields which in turn has raised the disposable income for the rural population, growth in commercial vehicles segment has been bestowed with a new life!
The Ministry of Heavy Industry has come out with a Draft Auto Policy. Through this, the government intends to do the following:
1.Rollout a comprehensive long term roadmap for the automotive industry
2.Implement reduction in CO2 emissions through Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations
3.Introduce a composite length and emissions based criterion for vehicle taxation
4.Harmonize standards over the next 5 years
5.Implement measures to increase exports of vehicles and components
6.Improve the skill development and training eco-system
7.Conduct a detailed study to assess the logistics challenges being faced by the auto industry
To achieve these in a synchronised manner, the Ministry for Heavy Industries and Public Sector Enterprises intends to create a Nodal Body for the Automotive Industry. For taking into consideration Auto Retail Industry's view and make F A D A, member of this Nodal Body, we have been quick on our feet and have met various bureaucrats within the Ministry and the Hon'ble Minister, Shri Anant Geete a few days back. Shri Geete was kind enough to give us a patient hearing and assured us that F A D A will be a part of this body.
Reverting to F A D A activities, I am happy to share that after organising two successful Vyapars in New Delhi and Mumbai, we are working hard to take Vyapar to other State Capitals. F A D A UP has been the front runner and we will be holding the next Vyapar in Lucknow, sometime in June. We are also in discussion with other State Chapters and I am positive of holding Vyapar in a few other locations which will get confirmed in the times to come.
F A D A is also in talks with Yes Bank and Indian School of Management & Entrepreneurship (ISME) regarding developing of course structure and curriculum for F A D A Academy for skilling automobile dealerships, their leadership & on-ground operations alike.
At the time of writing this article, NADA 2018 Convention is in progress and a large delegation of F A D A is attending the same in Las Vegas. I am sure that once they return, we will have lots of new learning and best practices which we can adopt.
The Financial Year is coming to an end. While all of us will be busy achieving that monthly and annual 'target', I wish all of you a progressive FY 2019!
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely
John K Paul

Balance your spiritual energy and get in harmony with your soul by practicing these Radha-Krishna meditations.
Sri Gita Govinda
-A book written in the 12th century, this is a description of the intimate loving affairs of Radha and Krishna
Govinda Lilamrta
-An 400 year old book which poetically describes the eternal daily pastimes of Radha and Krishna
Ananda Vrindavan Campu
-This is probably the most poetic and intimate portrayal of Sri Krsna's life in Vrndavana that has ever been written.
Prayers of Service to Radha and Krishna (Sankalpa Kalpadruma)
Prema Samputa The Treasure Chest of Love
And the following four are taken from Visvanath Cakravarti's Camatkara Candrika, a 300 year old scripture that talks about the love meeting of Radha and Krishna:
The Meeting in the Box
The Meeting of Sri Krishna Disguised as a Female Doctor
The Meeting of Sri Krishna Disguised as a Female Singer
The Meeting of Sri Krishna Disguised as Abhimanyu
And lastly, we have a very amazing scripture which describes the 24 hour daily loving affairs of Radha and Krishna in Vrindavan, called Bhavanasara Sangraha. This book is now available on Amazon for Kindle, for only $3.49
Here is a 41 page sample of Bhavanasara Sangraha:
The above book can also be read on your PC using Amazon Kindle for PC, download here for free:

ISKCON, or "The Hare Krishna Movement" as it's popularily known, is a radical and extremist distortion of the original Radha and Krishna dharma from ancient India. The author of the above book Bhavanasara Sangraha is no longer affiliated with ISKCON either, having cut all ties to ISKCON a few years ago.

LCC women's basketball brought home a decisive vicotry over Northeastern Junior College in the first game back from a three-week winter break. The final score was 75-52 bringing the team's record to 7-9 overall and 3-0 in the region.
The Lopes scored first and made a six point run before the Plainswomen answered back to tie the game at six points midway through the first quarter. The Lopes took the lead with a three-point shot from Caylynn Wolf and never looked back, defeating NJC by more than 20 points.
While the Lopes struggled from behind the arc, shooting only 21.1 percent, the team outshot NJC from the field and the foul line. LCC made 49.2 percent from the field in and an impressive 81.3 from the foul line compared to NJC's 30 percent from the field and 53.8 from the line.
"I thought our team played really well. We were able to get out in transition and get some easy baskets, we rebounded the basketball very well, and shared the basketball offensively. 24 assists on 29 made shots is a great example of unselfish basketball and playing together, not worrying about who scores as long as WE score," said Head Coach Landon Steele.
Sophomore TiAna Davila led the Lopes in scoring with 17 points, followed closely by Damilola Balogun and Sabela Reigosa Pernas both with 12. Ann-Kathrin Schaetzle and Shelby Hawkins contributed eight and seven points, respectively.
Claudia del Moral Garcia led the team in two categories, contributing nine assists and eight rebounds to the Lopes victory. Balogun and Schaetzle also pulled in six rebounds each.
LCC is on the road this coming weekend for a pair of South-Sub Region games. The Lopes will visit Eastern Wyoming College in Torrington on Friday, January 13. Tip-off is set for 5:00pm. Then on Saturday, January 14, the Lopes teams will travel to Western Nebraska Community College in Scottsbluff. The game will start at 2:00pm.

Joke written in pizza box gets worker fired, customer cyberbullied
STAFFORD, Va. (WJLA) —
Pizza! A comfort food known to bring a smile to your face.
It did the opposite to a Stafford, Virginia mother.
We're not showing her face or using her name, because she says she's being cyber bullied.
"My son ordered a pizza online and under the special instructions he requested a joke," she explained.
An innocent order her 12- and 15-year-olds have done in the past. A worker at the Pizza Hut on Jefferson Davis Hwy. cooked up exactly what they ordered.
Problem was their pizza arrived a little too spicy for mom's taste.
The joke starts: "What do a pizza delivery driver and a gynecologist have in common?"
The punchline is too saucy for TV.
"I was really shocked and floored that Pizza Hut would send that type of joke out," she said. "The employee even called and I told her that I hope she doesn't lose her job over this."
But the worker did lose her job. Mom posted a pic of the box on social media talking about her disgust.
And now mom's facing backlash online. One of the posts reads in part:
"I hope you see it in that big, black heart of yours to call back and explain that you aren't upset. Days before Christmas you got someone fired."
The mother's reply to people saying her family asked for the joke and got what they ordered: "It's an inappropriate joke. There's a time and place for everything. My pizza box is not one of them. It's a lesson learned."
ABC7 is waiting to hear back from Pizza Hut.

(JNS.org) Computer simulations run by Iranian scientists reveal a nuclear weapon with more than three times the power of the bomb America dropped on Hiroshima during World War II, the Associated Press reported.
The AP cited a diagram it obtained from anonymous officials featuring a bell curve whose highest point is 50 kilotons (a measurement unit indicating nuclear force), compared with the Hiroshima bomb's power of 15 kilotons.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at his September speech to the United Nations General Assembly, displayed his own diagram indicating that Iran nuclear program would reach the point of no return in the spring or summer of 2013.

Amidst a sea of diversity: white voters from all walks of life: Teapartiers, Birthers, Constitutionalists, NRA members, hedge fund managers; Mitt Romney speaks of his record on job creation. He's equating the creation of employment with the creation of wealth for a lucky few. Bain Capital is his crowning achievement. A business based on using borrowed capital, raising the value of a business by lowering costs (a.k.a. firing people), then selling it for a profit to investors, often times breaking up the company and displacing the lowly worker. The figure began at 'hundreds of thousands' of jobs created and has now morphed into simply 'thousands' of jobs. In typical Romney fashion, his facts evolve as often as his positions.
Here he is trying to explain why the auto bailout was his idea even though he criticized the President's plan as foolish back in 2008. In fact, the Conservative Wall Street Journal stated this "foolishness" created 1.5 million jobs. Meanwhile, we hear not a peep of Romney's jobs record as Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. Paul Begala, Former Clinton advisor, said this strategy is a mistake. Romney should be defining his record in Massachusetts before his opponents can define it for him.
As Governor, Willard took Massachusetts from 37th in job creation to 47th. It ranked only ahead of Katrina-ravaged Louisiana and two rust belt states, in dire straits due to George Bush's outsourcing and the continuation of NAFTA and other harmful trade policies. The National Journal asserts, 'Economists from Massachusetts also say Romney was never able to solve the structural problems inherent in the state's economy — issues that now plague the country as a whole and will challenge whoever becomes president in 2013 — such as the decline in manufacturing and the dearth of employment for less-educated, low-income workers.' Sounds to me these workers were helped immensely by President Obama and thrown under a bus by Governor Romney.
Willard is quite awkward when it comes to relating to the common worker. A child of privilege and wealth, he can't seem to connect with the average American. But it's not just the stark socioeconomic differences. It's also a matter of Mitt's defining Mormon faith that creates this barrier between himself and the voter.
As Governor, he displayed 'sense of detachment…a function partly of his faith, which has its own tight social community that most outsiders don't see. Indeed, the stories of Romney's humanity and warmth come mostly from people who know him as a fellow Mormon.' He can't seem to relate to anyone outside his ward or stake. Since most of his prospective constituents are not LDS churchgoers, most folks won't be able to relate to him on the same personal level as President Obama, a man far more comfortable in his own skin.
His business beliefs that profit is far more important than people is as contrary to many Americans as his other belief that Jesus will rule from Missouri in his Second Coming. That's a blog for another day….

Dozens of people were missing after a massive landslide crushed as many as 33 buildings at an industrial park in Shenzhen.
The missing included 59 men and 32 women at 9:40 a.m. Monday, Xinhua reported.
The municipal government said the landslide, which occurred at about 11:40 a.m. Sunday, also triggered an explosion at a nearby gasoline station as it leveled the whole industrial park in Guangming New District in northwestern Shenzhen.
Some workers in dormitories at the park were still trapped after nearly 1,000 people were evacuated and 14 were rescued, of whom at least seven were injured, Ming Pao Daily reported Monday.
Video uploaded by some netizens showed the mudslide hit the buildings like a tsunami and leveled a building in less than a minute.
Geological experts estimated that the landslide was as much as 6 meters high and covered an area as wide as 100,000 square meters.
That would give it a volume of 600,000 cubic meters, about the combined capacity of 240 standard swimming pools.
Staff from the city's fire department and rescue teams, who were joined by their counterparts from Guangzhou and Dongguan, were searching for signs of life with detectors and dogs.
President Xi Jinping ordered Guangdong and Shenzhen authorities to do everything possible to minimize casualties, treat the injured and comfort the family members of the victims.
Local authorities said soil had been dug up in the past two years during construction work for the city's subway system and was piled up as high as 12 stories at a location nearby.
It was suspected that illegal operations of the dumping yard were to blame for the disaster and that recent rain caused the hill of waste soil to crumble.
Residents of the neighborhood had reportedly filed complaints to the local government about the mountain of earth but were ignored.
Media reported that dumping of mud by truck drivers was seen every day before the disaster.
A driver could earn as much as 600 yuan (US$92.60) for each truckload.
As Shenzhen's infrastructure undergoes rapid development, the lack of sufficient landfills for construction waste poses a high risk to the city, the report said.

Rachel Reeves MP: 'Mummy tax' cut in maternity pay is unfair
In this week's guest blog, Rachel Reeves MP - who is Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury and is herself pregnant with her first child - says working mothers across the country will be unfairly affected by the recently-announced, real-terms cut to maternity pay.
On Wednesday we found out just how much David Cameron and George Osborne's economic plan had failed. Our economy is forecast to shrink this year. Prices are set to carry on rising faster than wages next year. Almost 1 million young people young people are out of work. And the result of this failure on jobs and growth is that the government is even failing on the one test they set themselves – to balance the books and get the debt down by 2015.
So after missing his borrowing targets, and with the economy flatlining, the Chancellor was forced to come back to the country and ask for more. George Osborne suggested that he was targeting benefit scroungers and the work-shy, but he is hitting striving families who are already struggling with the rising cost of living.
Six in ten households who will be hit by the real terms cuts to benefits and tax credits announced this week are actually in work. A one earner family on £20,000 with two children will lose £279 per year from the government's changes in April – and that's not including the VAT rise.
And he failed to mention that mums across the country will be footing the bill for this government's economic failure. In the small print of the Chancellor's mini-budget is a plan to hit working mums with a real terms cut in maternity pay worth £180 by the time of the next election. This will affect 232,000 women who claim maternity pay and 59,000 who claim maternity allowance.
As somebody who is expecting their first child in the new year, I am going through the first steps of planning my maternity leave. Having a child is going to be a moment of great excitement and joy for me and my entire family. I will be taking maternity leave which will allow me to recover from the birth and let me spend time with my new baby. I will treasure every moment of those all important first few months.
But I worry that other mothers, those who rely on statutory maternity pay, will no longer have the choice and be forced back into work because of this cut in their maternity pay. Research shows that women on low incomes are especially unlikely to take their full maternity leave because they can't afford to stay off work. I don't want this country to return to the days when some mums had the right to maternity leave, and others simply can't afford it. I fear that this government is taking us in that direction.
And it is not just in maternity pay that women are paying the cost of the last two years of this government's economic mistakes. House of Commons Library research has confirmed that women will be hit four times harder by the cuts to benefits and public services announced in the autumn statement. These changes come on top of other deep cuts that will hit pregnant women on low incomes, such as the abolished Sure Start Maternity Allowance and the Health in Pregnancy Grant. Then again, it is not hugely surprising that women have got a raw deal from this government. After all there are only 4 women out of 23 ministers in the Cabinet.
At the same time there is one group of people that gained significantly from Osborne's Autumn Statement. If you earn over a million pounds each year, than next year you will receive an average tax cut of £107,000. It beggars belief that whilst taking from mothers on low incomes with one hand, the Chancellor gives to millionaires with another.
So when George Osborne spoke of his welfare cuts tackling the unfairness of work-shy benefit seekers, with 'their blinds down' whilst others are at work, he forgot to mention that his measures hit mums across the country who are at home looking after their new-born child. It's the work of an unfair, incompetent and out-of-touch government, that simply doesn't understand the pressures mums face every day.

I simply cannot resist anything "Royal".
Way back in 1981 I remember sitting glued to the TV watching Charles and Diana's wedding. I was "Diana" crazy at the time – I collected magazines and books that depicted her. I even made a {sticky} icing-clad "wedding cake" for the occasion. Unfortunately I don't have a photo, just a fond, albeit vague, memory of loads of icing piped on it. I was 12 years old.
My dad's parents were British and we still have family in the UK so I guess I was raised to love anything British and I must say, I love the historical buildings, the parks and the beautiful green English landscape as well as all the historical tradition and glamour that goes with the Royal family.
Needless to say, I am looking forward to watching the wedding this Friday. We're going to have an English morning tea and invite a few friends- simply for the fun of watching together.
I've designed some decor goodies which I plan to use to decorate the room with and I would like to share them with you.
{click on image to download printable A4-size PDF}
{vintage British flag and crown made from images from The Graphics Fairy}
So get decorating, bake some English scones and make some tea. {and maybe enjoy a glass of bubbly too!}
Any excuse to decorate a pretty table, serve yummy food and simply enjoy oneself! If you're going to watch, download these printables, print, cut out and decorate. Have some Royal fun!

Tendai Kamhungira and Blessings Mashaya • 7 March 2016 1:48PM • 16 comments
HARARE - Zanu PF insiders say the ongoing suspensions and expulsions of party officials loyal to embattled Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa had left the Midlands godfather "in the cold" as the brutal war within the former liberation movement to succeed President Robert Mugabe begins to peter towards an anti-climax.
This sentiment follows last week's savage purging of yet more of the beleaguered VP's alleged supporters — with dozens more said to be preparing to jump Team Lacoste's sinking ship, as they seek to save their political careers.
Among some of the party bigwigs said to be loyal to Mnangagwa who were shown the exit door last Thursday are fired War Veterans minister Christopher Mutsvangwa and his wife Monica, who were both suspended from the party for three years.
In addition, the party also summarily expelled from within its ranks 14 youth leaders — including Godfrey Gomwe, Godfrey Tsenengamu, Vengai Musengi and Edmore Samambwa — all of them seen as key allies of Mnangagwa.
"Look, Ngwena (Mnangagwa) is on his knees, if not down and out in the war to succeed Gushungo (Mugabe). He is standing on his own now, with many of his generals and foot soldiers lying dead in the battlefield.
"We even understand that some of his men such as (the three suspended provincial chairpersons) Biggie Matiza (Mashonaland East), Kizito Chivamba (Midlands) and Ezra Chadzamira (Masvingo) have apologised to the party.
"They are said to have approached key members of the G40 camp, asking for forgiveness," one of the Daily News' sources said, adding that there was "total despair" among the ranks of Team Lacoste.
"Many of Mnangagwa's allies have learnt the hard way that their leader is a coward and toothless bulldog. He is currently fighting for his own survival, leaving his team facing purges, without him raising a finger," another source linked to the G40 said scathingly.
"In Masvingo, the whole provincial executive that used to be behind him is now aligned to G40. They shifted to G40 after they discovered that Ngwena and Team Lacoste are completely finished," the source added derisively.
Speaking to the Daily News yesterday, Zanu PF Masvingo political commissar, Jappy Jaboon, said to be a staunch G40 member, said the province was fully behind Mugabe and his powerful wife Grace.
"The province is fully behind President Robert Mugabe and Amai (Grace). There were some elements who were trying to fan factionalism but we got rid of them," he added.
this man is strong. given the shellacking the first lady gave him during her usual tours, i thought by now he would have been history but alas the guy is still around. inenge sure that baba ava ndivo zanu yacho. but heyi machinda, isu vamwe tinovatya angwena ivavo.
Dai ndiri ini zvangu aNgwena ndaingosiyana nazvo nekuti mari yavapo, mapurazi jahwi .Kwangova kudya chete and managing mabusinesses and travelling overseas on holidays.
How do yu isolate Ngwena.8 provinces r wth him.The most populouse province masvingo solid behind him.business community want him,Warvets all behind him.so how do yu isolate a man like that.in mutoko they now pronounce him mnangahwa,in theBudya dilect.how do yu isolate him.The comrades r thinking of making him the warvets chairman,the supreme chairman.how do yu isolate such a man.I dont think so.
A congress can only prove how democratic zanu is.it will prove who the people want to lead zanu.thats the real deal.anything else is pretendencies.theris way too many suspensions,very soon Mahoka will be suspended for disrespecting vp.Ist lady will be suspended for lying n spreading unfounded rumours about vp wanting to kill her son.these r all suspensions in waiting.so a congress will bring peece in the party.why is g40 scared of congress.why.the mere fact that the party membership is now more shaped thru suspensions means thr is chaos.the leadership is crumbling.a congress wil put to rest all these crookery.Chairman Chitepo wuld hv calld for one,Tongogara wuld hv,.why not?
Ngwena is not yet finished. What kind of ZANU are you going to have without both TRM & EDM? The G40 Crew are pretenders to the throne and no one likes them coz they have managed to destroy the revolutionary party from within. If the truth be told, ZANU is imploding and it is time all liberation fighters team up with the likes of Ngwena, Morgan Tsvangirai, Dumiso Dabengwa, Mai Mujuru and Tendai Biti to form a grand coalition to bring about genuine independence and freedom.
The Dailynews `s obssession with Ngwena can lead people who do not know the Zimbabwean political scene to think that he is the president of the country.They have forgotten who is solely responsible for ruining our country. At the same time they are sugar-coating Joice Mujuru and his late kingmaker husband who (both of them) were co-steering the the country with Mugabe into ruins. Its now clear the paper is now team PF and team Lacoste is sending shivers down their spines. Never before had I witnesssed people so afraid of Ngwena. They will rather team-up with Mugabe`s G40 to destroy Ngwena. The chances of them misfiring are growing every time they show such characteristics because they are virtually campaigning for Ngwena.
Ngwena will never fall my dear comrades. He is the one who set up the security of this country called Zimbabwe. He can run a parallel hit squad regai muone. Tinotanga kuuraya kana huku dzemuvengi chaiiye. The way everything is unfolding, you will here a lot of accidence and unexplained death in 10 months to come. If Ngwena resign today Matibili will call him to reconsider his actions because he is a strong man dont be fooled. Ngwena is no fool you daily news. In shona we say NGWENA HAIDYE CHEBAMBA CHAYO CHINOZA(chinouya) NERONGA. Those who fool themselves i say your days are numbered. These guys have got mines in DRC so they are filthy reach and complicated.
mugabe ndiyo zanu yacho,truely the man is very strong indeed, bt wauraya nyika.zanu is mugabe no other person is like him in zanu
It is a well known fact that Morgan Tsvangirai is now a spent force. Having such a weak leader like Tsvangirai, will turn the country into a haven of Gays and Lesbians. The reason being the MDC is easily dictated to by the West. We will never accept Gays and Lesbians in Zimbabwe. Some will think that it is Mugabe`s stance, but let it be known that Zimbabweans are united when it comes to Gays.
"Do not insult the crocodile until you've crossed the river" "Never insult an alligator until after you have crossed the river" "Don't call the alligator big mouth till you have crossed the river" "Only when you have crossed the river can you say the crocodile has a lump on his snout" "You must have crossed the river before you tell the crocodile he has bad breath."
the talk about mnangagwa being a strong man is just empty talk from people who are aligned ro him. We can see for ourselves than hear it from you that Ngwena is not so smart as you want us to believe. The truth is Ngwena is the last thing Zimbabwe needs at this point in time.He is a real failure
Varume pedzeranai , isu takatarisa , makaumba mukaputsa mukaumba zvakare , Iyezvino makuputsa zvachose. There is nothing that lives forever even nzizi dzaityisa dzakapwa wani kana makarwe akatizira kune mvura madziva apwa
Munangagwa, just like the other foot soldiers of the the grand old man Bob, is a weakling and cannot stand up to the oldman on matters of principle.It is naive to expect that he will defend any in his clique.Its called self peservation.
Kikikikikikikikikikikikikik! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6voHeEa3ig
what is Mnangagwa is a loser okwaziyo yikuthumela ama CIO ukuthi abulale amaNdebele

ABL was a sede-doubtist ... just like myself.
What are you doubting exactly? The conclave? If he is accepted by all the Roman clergy then how can you have doubts?
Is that how +ABL described himself? I don't recall that he did.In +ABL's last book, in 1986 (I think it was his last), which was called "Open Letter to Confused Catholics," he wrote this in the last chapter on page 175:"I have not ceased repeating that if anyone separates himself from the Pope, it will not be I. The question comes down to this: the power of the Pope within that Church is supreme, but not absolute and limitless, because it is subordinate to the Divine authority which is expressed in Tradition."+ABL wrote that he had not ceased to repeat that he will not separate himself from the Pope. Is that what sede-doubtists' believe? Though, of course, sede-doubtism is probably a recently made-up term, and may not have been in existence when +ABL was alive.
Ummm ... presumably because they actually care about people's souls? And this latest news constiutes not only proof that Frankie is a manifest heretic, but it is an unambiguous teaching of heresy through a popes authentic magisterium, which, at the very least if left unchallenged, unrecanted and uncorrected, violates indefectibility?There's no wiggle room for a get-out-of-jail-free card here as there arguably is for Vatican II. As a Catholic you HAVE TO submit to this teaching. Canon law DEMANDS that you do. The FSSP can't argue the "hemeneutic of continuity " here, because it's unambiguous. The SSPX can't say that this teaching is just some kind of list of suggestions from a get-together of bishops with the Pope. It's not a private opinion expressed in a letter. It's not an off-the-cuff remark during an interview. It's not a blunder in a sermon. This is the Pope teaching as pope and to the Church. It's AUTHENTIC MAGISTERIUM concerning FAITH AND MORALS, in particular the every nature of morality itself.Submit to the pope's teaching.
Sedevacantists say one thing....Catholics say another. I follow ABL's thinking on the matter.
Meg, with all due respect, we don't hold that there is no magisterium, we believe that the magisterium is not readily accessible. No matter how strange this seems to you and to many people, it does not contradict Church teaching. What is absolutely impossible is that the Church can promote sin or evil. Do you see that?
So Bergoglio's predecessors subjectivized faith and doctrine. Now Bergoglio finishes the job by subjectivizing morality.
From Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio, Pope Paul IV, 1559...In addition, [by this Our Constitution, which is to remain valid in perpetuity We enact, determine, decree and define:] that if ever at any time it shall appear that any Bishop, even if he be acting as an Archbishop, Patriarch or Primate; or any Cardinal of the aforesaid Roman Church, or, as has already been mentioned, any legate, or even the Roman Pontiff, prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal or Roman Pontiff, has deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: the promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, void and worthless; it shall not be possible for it to acquire validity (nor for it to be said that it has thus acquired validity) through the acceptance of the office, of consecration, of subsequent authority, nor through possession of administration, nor through the putative enthronement of a Roman Pontiff, or Veneration, or obedience accorded to such by all, nor through the lapse of any period of time in the foregoing situation.
Show me where ABL stated that sedevacantists are non-Catholic, out of the Church or going to Hell.
I didn't say that I take +ABL's view of whether or not sedes are Catholic or not, or out of the Church. That in itself wasn't the point of the argument.And I never said that sedes are going to hell. They are just nuts, that's all. And the dogmatic ones aren't Catholic.
I was wondering where he came up with that considering what you actually said.
And yet, Cum Ex assumes a trial.Cum Ex..."(vii) if perchance they shall have been Judges, their judgements shall have no force, nor shall any cases be brought to their hearing.;"So, an HEARING is presumed in Cum Ex. That means, this declaration is only a guideline for determining within an hearing that someone proven guilty of heresy, Pope included, must be treated as written. But an hearing is presumed.Bellarmine's thinking regarding this matter is perfectly consistent with the mind of the Church, as we see expressed in Canon 10 of the Fourth Council of Constantinople. In response to the schism of Photius, the Council attached the grave penalty of excommunication to any layman or monk who, in the future, separated himself from his patriarch (the Pope is Patriarch of the West) before a careful inquiry and judgment by a synod."As divine scripture clearly proclaims, 'Do not find fault before you investigate, and understand first and then find fault'. And does our law judge a person without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does? Consequently this holy and UNIVERSAL SYNOD justly and fittingly declares and lays down that no lay person or monk or cleric should separate himself from communion with his own patriarch before a careful inquiry and judgment in synod, even if he alleges that he knows of some crime perpetrated by his patriarch, and he must not refuse to include his patriarch's name during the divine mysteries or offices. (…) If anyone shall be found defying this holy synod, he is to be debarred from all priestly functions and status if he is a bishop or cleric; if a monk or lay person, he must be excluded from all communion and meetings of the church [i.e. excommunicated] until he is converted by repentance and reconciled".
So non-Catholics aren't going to Hell?
Meg,Yesterday you made this comment... this is why you are being questioned.You are saying sedevacantists are not Catholics... non-Catholics are not saved... or are they?

The Tax Management Transfer Pricing Report ™ provides news and analysis on U.S. and international governments' tax policies regarding intercompany transfer pricing.
By Michael Hirschfeld, Esq., Bonnie A. Barsamian, Esq., Mark D. Grimm, Esq. Dechert LLP, New York, NY and Philadelphia, PA
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued Rev. Proc. 2008-68 (the "Rev. Proc.") on December 10, 2008, providing that a stock distribution by a publicly traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") will be treated as a taxable dividend if certain requirements are met. The Rev. Proc. adopts a favorable rule that allows a REIT to meet mandatory distribution requirements with the use of non-cash consideration. The Rev. Proc. applies for REIT-taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2009.
As a result of the current economic environment, many REITs facing liquidity constraints have found it difficult to distribute 90% of their net taxable income in the form of dividends. If a REIT is unable to distribute 90% of its net taxable income, the REIT is subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 35% rate. Only taxable distributions of property may be counted toward the satisfaction of this distribution requirement.
The Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") provides that a stock dividend will generally not be treated as a taxable distribution. However, the Code provides that distributions will become taxable if the shareholder is given the option to elect to receive either stock or cash. The IRS, through private letter rulings issued to certain REITs, has effectively treated distributions payable in stock or cash at the shareholder's election as a taxable distribution (including for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement) when the REIT limited the total amount of cash available to 20% of the aggregate distribution. These letter rulings, however, only benefited the named REIT.
The Rev. Proc. provides that a distribution of stock by any REIT will be treated as a taxable distribution (including for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement) equal to the value of the amount of money that could have been received instead, provided:
• the dividend is declared on or after January 1, 2008 with respect to a REIT's taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2009;
• the REIT's stock is publicly traded on an established securities market in the United States; and
• each shareholder is permitted to elect to receive the entire dividend in either (i) cash, or (ii) stock of the REIT of equivalent value, provided that the REIT does not limit the total amount of cash available (the "Cash Limitation") to less than 10% of the aggregate distribution.
If too many shareholders elect to receive cash, the excess may be paid in stock, but each shareholder electing cash must receive a pro rata amount in cash (corresponding to such shareholder's respective distribution), but in no event may a shareholder who elects to receive cash receive less than 10% of the aggregate dividend in cash.
For the purpose of determining the amount of shares to be distributed, the REIT must calculate the value of its stock (as close as practicable to the dividend payment date), based on a formula utilizing market prices that is designed to equate the value of the shares received with the amount of cash that could have been received instead. With respect to shareholders participating in a REIT's dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP"), the DRIP shall apply only to the amount of cash that the shareholder would have received absent the DRIP.
For taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2009, the IRS now provides REITs the ability to treat a distribution of stock as a taxable dividend when the Cash Limitation is not less than 10% of the aggregate distribution. With the issuance of the Rev. Proc., cash-conscious REITs are afforded a new opportunity to conserve their capital.

How farmers can share ideas and learn about improved varieties.
Demonstrating ideas for better varieties Cue: Year-by-year farmers have more seeds to choose from as seed companies bring new varieties to the market. And what better way to see what you will get for your money - than a demonstration plot. In a demonstration, farmers and seed merchants or researchers work together. They collect a good selection of improved - and local - seeds. They decide on a plot where the seed can be grown, and then they invite farmers from the local community to come and see and discuss the results. If, as the saying goes ?seeing is believing?, then seeing the results on the demonstration plots makes seed choice - and the results of storing seed correctly - crystal clear. In Malawi, Wed Chipungu runs dozens of seed demonstration plots in his work with the Pannar Seed Company. As he tells Patrick Mphaka, he believes the benefits can be greatest if farmers are involved in managing the whole thing. IN: ?What we do, we do not manage the demo plots? OUT: ?So that is my advice.? DUR?N: 2?26? BACK ANNOUNCEMENT: Wed Chipungu works with the Pannar Seed Company Limited in Malawi to promote demonstration field days. He was speaking to Patrick Mphaka. The interview comes from a radio resource pack produced by CTA. Transcript Chipungu What we do, we do not manage the demo plots, it is the local farmers themselves that manage the demos. So the people around that farm can learn from that farmer how to manage the crop and they can choose the variety which is doing better in that area. Mphaka So in other words what you are saying is that it is not the seeds which we see but the way they can perform after we have planted them that will tell a good story? Chipungu Yes a good story because on seed we cannot just say this is a good variety without showing a farmer how it performs. But farmers have to know, to see it performing himself not just telling him. That is why we do give some seed to local farmers in the villages to see how it performs themselves. Mphaka Once you have given that seed to some farmers in the villages to what extent do you think other farmers who have not been given the seed can also learn from the farmer whom you have given the seed to demonstrate? Chipungu What we do is we distribute some trial seeds in all districts of the country, then during a certain time of the year we conduct field days and we do invite local villages, farmers around that area to attend that field day. So on that day it is when the farmers see themselves, how the varieties are performing and we do ask them to choose which variety they think is better. We want to see the actual thing happening in the field. Mphaka Taking what you do as a model, what tips would you give farmers? Chipungu First of all I have to say that a seed is a living thing, they have bought that seed, they have to keep it properly so that it should not die because if they put it on a wet place or at a hot place it will die. So the first thing is to keep the seed safely. It is an advice to local farmers, they must not buy seed from, I can say vendors. When I am saying vendors I mean there is no way somebody can just carry seed in a vehicle and start selling like bread. You can buy seed from authorised dealers because if you just buy seed from elsewhere you will regret after a year it is not seed. Mphaka It might have expired? Chipungu Expired. Mphaka Or they might have picked it from a rubbish bin somewhere? Chipungu Yes that is what people are doing. So that is my advice. End of track

Classical Ballet
Steps Dance Studio's is one of the Philippines' premier ballet schools producing top-caliber dancers of highest international standards.
Our Classical Ballet training is based on the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, which began in England. The Royal Academy of Dance is an international teacher training and examining organization for classical ballet whose aim is to develop the highest possible standards of teaching.
The Royal Academy of Dance provides two distinct training pathways in classical ballet. These are called the Grade & Major programmes. Both involve the study of particular syllabi and in both pathways progress and achievement is measured by examination.
At each stage of training, the level of technical expertise is within the grasp of students who, through a balanced and progressive programme of study, are sympathetically and expertly helped towards an increasingly sound understanding of the principles of movements and fundamentals of classical ballet.
Classical ballet consists of three interrelated elements: Technique, Music and Performance. All these are ingredients and indeed expectations of teaching and dancing at the highest level.
The Graded Syllabus consists of three different sections or categories: Classical, Free Movement and Character.
The classical work is the foundation and the most important part of the Graded Syllabi. The free movement section incorporates movements in common with other dance styles such as Natural Movement, Contemporary-based dance and Greek dance.
Character dance is the theatrical presentation of national dance using original ethnic dance and music, which has been freely adapted for the theatre. The three styles – Hungarian, Russian and Polish – were selected because of their historic importance in the development of the traditional full-length classical ballets.
The Major Syllabus is the continuation of classical ballet with the introduction of Pointe work for females. These syllabi have been designed to give the necessary training to students wishing to study seriously with a possible view to follow a career in dance or dance-related subjects.
Students who wish to study the Major Syllabus should have the type of body which can respond to demanding study. For example, a relatively proportionate, flexible physique with a degree of rotation in the hip socket necessary for the increased range of movement. Students must also be able to concentrate for long periods of time and be able to accept and welcome constructive criticism and correction.
Examinations offer students a challenge to show their understanding of the work. They are open to all students studying the Grade and Major syllabi and are tests of knowledge in relation of the level in question. Students must meet the criteria set down in the relevant section of the Standards Prospectus and therefore demonstrate they can confidently proceed to the next level.
All candidates will pass an Examination if the required standard has been attained. If successful, the Examiner will award one of the five classifications based on the performance seen on the day, in accordance with the established criteria.
The Royal Academy of Dance believes that participation in ballet should be available to all young people and is therefore anxious to incorporate into its system all those who, for various reasons, and a particular time, may not be able to cope with the formal Examination requirements. For these students, Assessments offer programmes of work, which can be matched to their physical ability or pace of learning, leading to a sense of achievement and self-esteem, which can equal that of those passing Examinations.
Assessments are considered appropriate for:
• Students attending schools where ballet tuition is included in the curriculum and where the time allocated is generally less than a ballet school
• Students whose attendance has been irregular due to a variety of circumstances
• Schools where, for a variety of reasons, the teacher has not been able to devote the usual amount of time to Examination preparation
• Late starters
• Students who may be physically, cognitively or emotionally challenged
The standard of achievement is not measured in specific categories indicating levels of success, but instead a written report will indicate to the candidate some of the strengths and less strong areas of his or her performance. All students are awarded a Certificate of Participation.
There are seven Grade Assessments levels from Pre-Primary to Grade V and the content is based on the relevant grade.
• Pre-school – for ages 2 – 3 years old
• Baby ballet I – for ages 3 – 4 years old
• Baby ballet II – for ages 4 – 5 years old
• Pre-Primary – for ages 5 – 6 years old
• Primary – for ages 6 – 7 years old
• Grade I – for ages 7 – 8 years old
• Grade II – for ages 8 – 9 years old
• Grade III – for ages 9 – 10 years old
• Grade IV – for ages 9 – 11 years old
• Grade V – for ages 9 – 11 years old
• Intermediate Foundation – for ages 12 – 15 years old
• Intermediate – for ages 12 – 15 years old
• Advanced Foundation – for ages 12 – 15 years old
• Advanced I – for ages 12 years old & above
• Advanced II – for ages 12 years old & above
• Solo Seal – for ages 12 years old & above
*Note : Entry level is subject to change based on the student's age, technical level and strength.
Adult ballet class are for women and men of all ages, shape and sizes, who have never tried taking ballet or have a background when they were young and wants ballet to be part of their fitness regimen.
We start with warm-up exercise on the floor, then to the barre which supports the balance of the body while it completes, various routines designed to increase strength, mobility and then to center exercise.

The strengthening of the powers of the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma by enhancing government operations through tribal legislative and judicial methods is an ongoing process. The Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma has strengthened its judicial capabilities by the successful operation of the Tribe's court system. By administering its own judicial system, speedy and impartial adjudication of violations of tribal law and resolution of civil disputes are handled accordingly.
The Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma first established and operated its tribal court system through an inter-tribal agreement with a neighboring tribe in 1987. In 1992, the Iowas assumed complete operation of its tribal court and physically relocated the court from the inter-tribal location to the Iowa Tribal Headquarters in Perkins, Oklahoma.
The tribal court is a court of general jurisdiction and administers its law and order in civil, criminal and juvenile matters. The court staff consists of a district court judge, public defender and prosecutor. The Iowa Supreme Court is made up of two justices and one Chief Justice. The Tribe's judicial authority is based upon its Constitution, its Tribal Law and Order Code, and the unique relationship between Native Americans and the United States.
