Actually Nintendo confirmed that you can have special rules and stuff like that....of course that's so vague it could mean anything so we may have to wait for the game's release

A new study suggests a surprising correlation — women who drink moderately appear to be better at keeping the weight off than those women who don't drink at all.
In a study of nearly 20,000 women conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston by Lu Wang and colleagues, normal-weight women aged 38 or older were asked how many alcoholic beverages they typically drank in a day. Researchers then tracked the women for nearly 13 years.
What the researchers found surprised even them — women who didn't drink at all gained the most weight over the time period. Women who drank one or two glasses of wine or equivalent had a 30 percent lower risk of becoming overweight. Red wine had the strongest impact, but white wine, beer and spirits also showed a similar inverse relationship between alcohol intake and the risk of gaining weight.
The study took into account many alternative explanations for the weight gain, including diet, exercise, and smoking. The researchers found that as alcoholic intake increased, weight decreased.
The authors cautioned, however, against making recommendations about alcohol as a tool against obesity, given the potential health and social problems associated with heavy drinking.
The researchers theorized that the reason women may lose weight while drinking moderately is because they tend to substitute alcohol for other foods, whereas men tend to eat just as much when they imbibe.
This research adds to the existing evidence base that demonstrates that alcohol — most usually red wine — has beneficial health effects when taken in moderation on a daily basis. This effect, called the French paradox, is thought to explain why the French — who consume a rich diet but also drink a lot of red wine — don't suffer inordinately from health problems typically associated with such a diet.
The article was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a publication of the American Medical Association.

A few quick maintenance tidbits:
I removed the Amazon link and photo to the Gamer's Tome. The book has run its course, and I want to thank everyone who ponied up and bought a copy. It means a lot to me and I really appreciate it. I kept the link to the GWJ review because I think it's cool and it makes me happy.
I also added a Boardgamegeek.com script to the sidebar (below the Xbox gamertags) that lists the current board games I have been playing of late. The script auto-updates as long as I keep my BGG play list updated. Pretty cool.

Hi, i'm researching an essay on the social change in Howards End, especially in relation to how the characters represent this. Was just wondering if anyone knew of some good internet sources related to this as i'm struggling a bit. Thanks

There is a good article here from Encarta available free online (URL provided below) that should provide you with some introductory help with respect to social change in Edwardian Britain. Otherwise, if you have access to academic resources (i.e. a university library with online subscriptions) I'm sure you should be able to find lots of articles about Edwardian society, the pre-WW1 period, and Forster's novels.

Milk Price Index gets lukewarm reception
The release by the federal government of a Milk Price Index was useful but did not go far enough, the United Dairyfarmers of Victoria (UDV) says.
UDV president Adam Jenkins said the index should allow farmers to make more informed judgements on the fairness and competitiveness of prices offered by their processor, and also provide earlier and clearer pricing signals.
But Mr Jenkins said the index would fall short of providing transparency in the processing sector.
"With the index, we'll have information about the world market and farm gate prices, but we're still lacking transparency into manufacturing costs and their impact at the farm gate.
"UDV advocates for transparency throughout the entire supply chain and we are disappointed the Milk Price Index does not achieve this.
"We would like to see analysis of manufacturing costs to give farmers a clear idea of how the world price translates into farmgate milk prices" Mr Jenkins said.
The peak national dairy farmer advocacy group, Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF), said the index would provide independent and transparent market information to dairy farmers.
ADF president Terry Richardson said the index aimed to help farmers make decisions about their businesses.
"This is just one tool that dairy farmers can use, and there will be a feedback channel available to allow an opportunity for input into any future adjustments that may be deemed necessary in the future."
The index will be supported by a one-year forecast of prices that will be updated quarterly, along with regular global, national and regional commentary.
A Regional, Retrospective Farmgate Milk Price Index will accompany the index, with farmers urged to provide price data via an online form.
"The purpose of the retrospective index is to help build a marker of actual prices received in each dairy region," Mr Richardson said.
The Milk Price Index is being managed by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, with economic modelling and analysis conducted by Deloitte Access Economics.
Education material is being produced by RM Consulting Group, which will be delivered to farmers at dairy industry events.
"The index will include an awareness and education component to help dairy farmers understand what the index means for them and how they could consider it in their business planning," Mr Richardson said.
"The Government is very interested in engaging with farmers to improve the index over time and is encouraging people to email their feedback to the Department."
Farmers can access the index at http://www.agriculture.gov.au/milkpriceindex.

Just a treble from me this week – 3 games based in the English leagues:
Two in the Premier League, one in the Championship:
West Brom vs Arsenal: BTTS + Over 2.5 Goals @ 6/5 (12:30 KO, Premier League)
Fantastic season for West Brom thus far sitting eighth in the table, but they do come into this one off the back of two losses to Everton and Crystal Palace. Before their previous two losses West Brom had taken 11 points from a possible 15. Arsenal are a team under pressure from the stands and Arsene Wenger's days are seemingly numbered. Arsenal have only taken 6 points from their last five matches, losing to Liverpool, Chelsea and Watford. Throughout this poor run of form for the Gunners through their goal scoring has remained consistent throughout, failing to score only twice all season the last time coming 18 matches ago back in October. West Brom themselves have managed 36 goals in total this season, they have however failed to score on nine occasions which is somewhat concerning although only four of those came at home and included; United, City, and a defensively strong Middlesbrough. There is also positive in the fact Arsenal have only kept three clean sheets away from home all season.
Stoke vs Chelsea: Chelsea -1 Goal Handicap @ 7/4 (15:00 KO, Premier League)
Chelsea show absolutely no sign of slowing down or giving a single point back to the chasing pack regarding the title, they face off against a Stoke side who are currently ninth and in fairness are not in a bad run of form taking seven points from their last five matches. Stoke surprisingly based on previous years have struggled defensively conceding 40 goals – more than any other team in the top half of the table. They couldn't ask for a tougher test based on that information facing off against Chelsea who are top, clear by ten points and the second highest scorers in the league. Stoke only two matches ago were demolished 4-0 by Chelsea's closest rivals Tottenham, and Should be expected to get a similar treatment from Chelsea in this one.
Fulham vs Wolves: BTTS + Over 2.5 Goals @ 21/20 (15:00 KO, Championship)
Again with Fulham this week, arguably the most exciting side in the Championship currently. Fulham are the second highest scorers in the league with 65 goals – second only to top side Newcastle. For a side so in control in terms of attacking prowess though Fulham are far from impenetrable in terms of defending having conceded 44 goals this term. Fulham's opposition Wolves are incredibly frustrating from a betting point of view, extremely inconsistent as far as match results go, last time out they turned around the game against Brentford late on but the game before could only muster a 1-0 win via a penalty against bottom placed Rotherham. Slightly more consistent for Wolves though is there goal scoring record; they have found the net on 43 occasions and in recent matches have only failed to score against Newcastle and very defensive minded sides in Wigan and Ipswich.
The treble pays near 9/1.
Best of luck

To celebrate her 40th birthday, Tracia Kraemer decided to get naked in public. It was 2008, and Kraemer, a single mother, was living on the north shore. For years, she had been curious about Indian Hills Nudist Park, a secluded 55-acre campground on U.S. Route 190 in Slidell. When her birthday arrived in mid-July, she decided to drop by.
"My plan was to drive in, take off my clothes, walk around, then get back in my car and drive away," Kraemer, 46, said recently, sitting at a picnic table in the center of the lightly forested property. But she wound up hanging out in the pool for hours. Then she stayed for naked karaoke.

Things are looking up, we have already cast and done the majority of the paperwork for our short film. All that is left to do is make the final script revisions and get them out to the actors to familiarise themselves with their roles.
The audition process was something new to us all however we were happy with the turn out and some very talented people applied to be part of the production. After the auditions we were able to slightly adjust the characters because we were able to visualise them better after putting a face to the name.
The story went through several re-writes to make it tighter and easier to understand in a short period of time. The initial underlying message dissolved somewhat because it's quite a large topic to explore in just 10 minutes but I am happy with the final result.
Now we just have to prepare for next week's shoots.

Ok, so todays date is the 30st Dec 2016 and I'm pretty sure I can sum up my music-year. Although there are often days in which I discover a band or a song I haven't heard of before I am sure I can write "…of 2016"-posts even though there is yet another day to come.
So, what were the songs that coined my personal 2016 and that I learned to love in this year?
First of all, I have to admit that I'm pretty sure I'll forget to mention some in this list. A year is a way too long period to remember correctly. Second, it is important to note that the songs here were not necessarily made in 2016, but were very important for me in this year.
I will try to list them in chronolocial order and explaining what they mean to me:
David Bowie – "Blackstar" and "Lazarus": David Bowie passed away in january 2016, releasing his album "Blackstar" two or three days before his death. Since it immediately was clear that Blackstar wasn't a normal album or a record to make money with (at least not from Bowies point of view) this peace of prog-(/avantgarde-)pop as I like to call it became very important. At first I was fascinated by Lazarus, especially because of the music video and the meaning that revealed itself right after Bowies death. Later this year I listened to the whole album and watched the video of "Blackstar", the titletrack. The images and metaphors got me once again, the whole album is at the same time pure art and pure realism.
At the same time I was still listening to Devin Townsends "Epicloud" a lot. Since I liked the album and listened to a few other songs on youtube I bought Devins record "Biomech: Ocean Machine". It is beside "Infinity" my personal album of him. Four songs especially had my attention: "Seventh Wave", "Life", "The Death Of Music" and "Thing Beyond Things". Seventh Wave, the opener of the album is just an epic and powerful piece of art, a style element typical for Devins music. Seventh Wave is a bit dark and creates some kind of tremendous yet dangerous atmosphere. The record continues with the song "Life" which celebrates the fullness of life, again using a lot of wall of sound elements to give a hint of how colourful life can be. In contrast to the beginning, Devin concludes Biomech with "The Death Of Music" and "Thing beyond Things". Both are very dark and silent but still contain the same power of the whole record. Especially the scream at the end of Things beyond Things describes the enormous pain of the lyrical I in a very genuine way. I like both varieties of the power Devin presents, the happy and joyful as well as the sad and painful side.
After listening to these rather dark tunes while at the same time enjoying the feeling of Devins "Life", I got to know more and more songs of The Pineapple Thief, especially of their highly recognised album Magnolia. "Simple as That"… I don't know how often I listened to it. The song gave me power and joy in times where I really needed both. I still feel the urge to run around like crazy when listening to this song. Wonderful!
The band is generally one of the best I ever listened to, so I bought Little Man shortly after Magnolia. The song "Snowdrops" does cheer me up like "Simple as That" but unlike the last one, Snowdrops uses a continous crescendo, a way up to a very beautiful soundscape at the end of it.
Short after this my search in the genres of postrock and ambient intensified. A friend of mine sent me the youtube playlist to Alcests album "Shelter". The joy and again the wall of sound elements used here do well describe my state of mind at this time. The setting was just like this: Being free, being full of joy, walking in the sun, following the clouds (it was about spring to summer while doing this) and listening to Alcest. In my opinion the music wraps up exactly these emotions. Especially the song "La Nuit Marche Avec Moi" contains a lot of the described feelings.
Throughout the year I listened to Dream Theater a lot. This band didn't let me go in 2015 and also in 2016 they have undoubtedly the highest amount of playtime in all of my music devices. "The Astonishing", a concept album set into the future is more a stage play than a usual music album. I hardly listened to it as a whole (maybe six or seven times), but as a pars pro toto piece I did enjoy "Our New World" more often. The song being rather an unusual Dream Theater one contains old fashioned rock wrapped in a modern style with beautiful lyrics. Great!
While having more calm and thoughtful times, I also liked to listen to "Hollow Years" and "Misunderstood" a lot. Hollow Years is a very pieceful and motivating song about life, whilst Misunderstood tries to complain about life in an agressive way. I listend to them in different times. Though they didn't reflected my feelings, both records spoke to me in the respective situation.
Although I know Dream Theater for a very long time (measured by my lifetime) I didn't noticed the suite "A Change Of Seasons" until the last few months. But since the beginning riff is being stuck in my head, I love it, mostly because of its variety.
Continuing with progressive metal, there was another band this year that got my attention. Arcane do no longer exist due to intern differences in style, but at least their records remain. The double-album "Known – Learned" contains a lot of great songs, but "Nighingale's Weave" exceeded them all. The power of the voice, the setting… the energy transmitted is beyond words. Some kind of sad but still unbelievable emotional and thus great!
Before I name my personal song of the year, I want to make an honorable mention to a song that was written in 1970 named "Lola" by the Kinks. In 2016, a friend gave me the link and a lot of memories from my childhood came up, so the song was not new to me but still was important in 2016. It's another tune that is really honest and cool.
So, 2016… in some years it is difficult to name the best song but choosing from the selection I know now, my personal favorite is "In Celebration Of Life" from NoSound. The title really says it all. I simply love it… and as always, instead of describing what it means, the song should speak for itself. Listen to it here:
So that was my musical journey through 2016. Although there are plenty other songs, artists, genres etc. I listened to, I am pretty sure that the mentioned ones are really the most important records for this year.
Let's see what 2017 comes up with 🙂

My mother and I usually buy food stuffs, vegetables, fruits, fishes, chicken, etc. at our town's public market every Sunday since Sunday is considered as market day. When we say market day, people from all barrios in town will come down and sell their produce or merchandises of any sorts at our public market. While Mammy was picking up vegetables from her favorite vegetable vendor, an old woman approached her trying to sell her a bottle of coconut oil at P35. She looked so frail and exhausted. Since we need to complete my Mammy's list of to-buys we told the old woman that we check on her at her place (she said it's near the eatery where palamig and banana ques are sold). Mammy is familiar with every corner of the public market so it was easy for us to locate her.
While walking towards the old lady, I told Mammy not to haggle with the old lady for the price anymore. P35 for a bottle of home-made pure coconut oil is a steal already. And I reminded her of the fuel and energy spent just to produce a bottle of coconut oil. I also told her that she has to show compassion for the old lady, and that she's luckier than she is. Mammy is stingy. She often negotiates for the goods price and always demands for the best discount she can get and for her, every single centavo discount counts. And knowing Mammy she might negotiate with the old lady so she can get the coconut oil at half the price.
When the old lady saw us, she happily handed Mammy a bottle of coconut oil. Mammy miraculously didn't haggle for the price and she even bought ladek / latik from her too. The old lady begged Mammy for her to get all three bottles of coconut oil so she could pack her things and go back to her home in the barrio but we can only buy so much. The old lady is only about my mother's age but she looked far older. She said that she usually peddles her coconut oil but sometimes she gets lucky to find a place in a corner at the public market next to stores and other market hawkers. She uses her umbrella to protect herself and her coconut oils and ladeks from the scorching sun or from the rain. She's not the only one with such plight. We have seen many elderlies, far older than the coconut-oil-monger, selling anything under the sun just to get a couple of bucks so they can buy rice and canned goods to bring back to their homes in the barrios. My heart bleeds for them but there's nothing much I can do to help other than buy their merchandises if we need them.
My parents are still lucky (sigh)
After almost a week, I decided to use the ladek / latik we bought from the old lady and the tagapulot (muscovado) we bought from another old lady having almost the same situation as the coconut-oil-old lady only that the latter uses a bigger umbrella to shield her tagapulot and pulitipot. And last Sunday, I came up with this glutinous rice cake. The difference between using tagapulot (muscovado - the one in solid state not powder) and brown sugar doesn't only lie on the resulting color, in which case brown sugar produces a lighter-brown-colored rice cake and with tagapulot a darker-brown-colored one, but also on the resulting flavor. My parents, sibling, niece, and nephews like the taste of the kankanen I cooked using tagapulot since it is richer but not cloyingly sweet.
|Tagapulot (muscovado)
By the way, I cooked this almost the same way as I cooked the inkiwar under Inkiwar w/ Cinnamon, check it out if you like. Also you can check out other glutinous rice recipes here.
Glutinous Rice - 500 g
Tagapulot (Muscovado), chopped into pieces- 200 g.
Ladek / Latik- 2 c
Salt - 1/2 tsp
I used the ladek / latik we bought from the old lady but you can also make your own. Check the recipe under our post on Inkiwar / Malagkit na may latik )
Cooking Procedure:
1. Wash the glutinous rice by just swishing your hands in it then soak it in water for at least one hour
2. Drain the glutinous rice, add water and bring to a boil. When the mixture boils, stir it. Remove as much excess liquid as you can. Set aside the liquid. Remove the glutinous rice from the fire.
3. Combine the excess liquid from cooking the glutinous rice, 1/2 cup of water and the chopped tagapulot. Heat it under medium fire. Let the tagapulot melt. Stir continuously and let the mixture simmer until half of the liquid has evaporated.
4. Add the ladek / latik and salt, continue heating the mixture under low fire for a minute. Stir.
5. Add in the glutinous rice and continue stirring until the glutinous rice is almost fully cooked.
6. Transfer into a serving tray. Slice into squares and serve.

How to Cook Couscous; Easy Couscous Cooking Instructions
Couscous is a good food to include in your meals if you are on a diet; a full cup has only around 170 calories, and it is very filling.
It is easy to use as a filler in a large variety of healthy dishes as it goes really well with nearly any kind of vegetable out there. It's a good option to use in place of rice or pasta, if you ever tire of using one of the two as a staple for your meals. It's a great go-to base for dishes on nights where you are looking to eat a good, easy to throw together dinner in a hurry.
It is made from seminola wheat and is a good form of fiber, protein, and B vitamins. It is low in both sodium and saturated fats. You can typically buy it the cheapest in your grocery store's bulk food aisle.
How to cook it
It's really very easy and quick to make, here's what you'll need to do it:
• Saucepan
• Medium-size bowl
• Fork
• Dry couscous
• Water
These measurements will make four servings:
• 1 Cup Couscous
• 1 ¼ Cup Water
• ¼ Teaspoon Salt
Boil the water in the saucepan with the salt. Once you've got the water boiling gently, remove the saucepan from the stovetop and pour the water over the dry grain in a medium-sized bowl. Mix briefly, and then cover the bowl with a towel.
Let the mix sit covered for 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes has passed, use the fork to fluff up the grain. It sounds strange to "fluff" a food but once you see the texture, it will make sense.
Now your couscous is ready to eat! This is a great side to eat plain, in saucy dishes, or a stir-fry thick with vegetables. It is extremely versatile and it can be whipped up in 1/4 the time of rice. As you can see from the directions above, all you really need to make it is some boiling water and you're set!
Here's one example of a healthy couscous recipe: Easy Veggie Stir Fry

In the Internet economy, a value has been placed on
having access to people & building up a community. Given
Napsters equation of a month or two ago, $800M/35M = about
$22 per person of worth for every user. Now this "worth"
doesn't live in a vacuum; if Napster started spamming their
users and abusing their privacy, then I am sure this
number would get down around the same worth as banner advertising
or even spam mail.
What other tech craze has been able to have so many people
buy into it in such short amount of time? Independent of
any P2P serious business benefits, there's a benefit to
having access to that many "eyeballs".
Hell, Napster could have made a couple of million a month
selling t-shirts alone. That's pretty serious business for

It was normal Friday morning for city bus driver, Tim Watson.
But when Watson noticed a man with a "teary eyed" little boy wearing red crocks on his bus, his morning got a bit more complicated.
According to ABC News, Watson realized the small child matched the descriptions of a police report, sighting a kidnapping that took place earlier that morning outside of Milpitas Public Library in California.
That's when he devised a plan to act like he was searching for a "missing" green backpack in order to get closer to the suspected man accused of kidnapping the 3-year-old, to confirm he and the child were indeed who the police were looking for.
When Watson pulled over to search for the backpack — verifying that the child was wearing red crocs — he then secretly contacted the police, who were waiting at the next stop.
The child was safely retrieved, and his abductor, 23-year-old, Alfonso Edington, was quickly detained.
Now Watson is being called "a hero" by Milpitas police, but the father of two toldABC News that he simply did "what any father would do."
"I became very emotional," Watson said after Edington was arrested. "This could have been my child that was abducted."
Thankfully, the young child was returned with his family physically unharmed.

Evangeline Lilly's Hope van Dyne will be kicking butt alongside Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) in this summer's Marvel superhero sequel Ant-Man and The Wasp.
This follow-up to 2015 hit Ant-Man leads into the events of Avengers: Infinity War, and sees Hope don The Wasp costume to help Lang battle a deadly new threat. The movie will also delve into the history of the suit's previous incumbent, a mysterious character who may hold more answers to Infinity War than you might think…
Janet van Dyne is the original Wasp
Hope van Dyne may be 'The Wasp' of the title, but she isn't the first person to take on this mantle. As the first Ant-Man movie revealed, Hope's mother Janet seemingly met an untimely end when she shrank to sub-atomic size and ended up in the Quantum Realm. (More on that in a moment.)
Leaving behind a grieving family – daughter Hope and suit creator husband Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) – The Wasp in her glory days was a baddie-beating, kick-ass hero. She even fought alongside the original Ant-Man, Hank himself.
Her death had a huge impact on Hope and Hank's relationship as he cut himself off and was (understandably) very reluctant to let his daughter use the same technology that led to his wife's fate.
As the post-credits sequence to Ant-Man revealed, Hank eventually softened and built a suit especially for his daughter, and in Ant-Man and The Wasp, Hope is now fully established as 'The New Wasp', carrying on her mother's legacy.
She was an important character in the comic books
As with all of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Janet van Dyne's origins are established in the comic books, her first appearance dating back to 1963.
One of the major storylines in the comics focused on Janet's part in saving Captain America (played in the movies by Chris Evans), after he crash-landed and became entombed in a ice during World War II. (These events were dramatised, sans the involvement of The Wasp, in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger.) In the comics, it was in fact The Wasp, alongside Thor and Iron Man, who found Cap and thawed him out. We'll come back to this in a second...
She's played by an actor with comic book movie credentials
Bringing Janet van Dyne to life on the big screen is Hollywood legend Michelle Pfeiffer. No stranger to superhero movies, Pfeiffer also played Catwoman/Selina Kyle in Tim Burton's Batman Returns (1992), and gave what is widely considered to be the definitive portrayal of the character in all her back-flipping, leather-clad glory.
Pfeiffer is one of the most acclaimed performers in Hollywood, having garnered four Oscar nominations (including one for Martin Scorsese's acclaimed Edith Wharton adaptation The Age of Innocence), and has had a recent resurgence with appearances in Darren Aronofsky's disturbing film Mother! and the 2017 adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. If anyone can bring gravitas and complexity to the role of enigmatic Janet, Pfeiffer is that person.
So is Janet still alive?
Well, given Pfeiffer's casting and the air of anticipation generated by the first movie, we know that Janet will be playing a significant part in the sequel's storyline. 'Alive' may be a relative term, however.
We know she's been trapped in the Quantum Realm, a place where time and space have no meaning, and that Hope and Ant-Man want to mount a daring rescue operation to see if they can find her. But if they do, will the version of Janet that comes out be the same as the one who went in?
In Ant-Man, her husband Hank is especially interested by the fact that Scott/Ant-Man was able to return unscathed from a venture into the Quantum Realm, which reignites his hope that his wife is still alive and can be rescued.
She might hold some answers to Infinity War…
Still reeling from the end of Avengers: Infinity War? Us too. But never fear, Ant-Man and The Wasp might just have more answers than you might think. Specifically, the Quantum Realm, "where all concepts of time and space become irrelevant" (according to Hank), might introduce us to the concept of Quantum time travel. And with the pressing need to undo the shocking climax of Infinity War at the forefront of our minds, we expect this mysterious realm, and therefore possibly also Janet, to give us some much-needed answers.
Returning to the moment when Janet saved Captain America's life in the comics, a clue of sorts may have been revealed. Given that Chris Evans has been snapped on the set of next year's Avengers 4 wearing his original WWII Captain America costume, may we surmise that the entire timeline of the entire MCU has somehow been altered by a journey into the Quantum Realm? And can we further deduce that, in this seemingly revised timeline, Janet is now responsible for saving the Captain's life? Watch this space...
Ant-Man and The Wasp is released in the UK on 3rd August, so tweet us your Janet van Dyne theories @Cineworld.

They are many wonderful things about living in North Oakville and Oak Park in particular, but I want to mention one community service that shines. It is the Oak Park Moms 'n Tots organization. We all wonder how we as individuals can make a difference and this is a great example of the power of community (remembering of course, that a community is a group of individuals). In 1999 six Moms got together in Oak Park and started meeting at each other's homes, on a regular basis, as a support group for each other. From such simple beginnings, the group has grown to where it stands today. A full blown Centre, helping all of North Oakville (north of Upper Middle) to support young families in a variety of ways. It is still community run with 90% of all work hours coming from volunteers, offering drop in programs 5 days a week. It also has expanded to now offer some paid programs such as dance classes.
The Centre is funded by Trillium, the United Way and Oakville Community Foundation but that covers only half of their operating costs. The remainder must come from fundraising. One of their main efforts is the Garage Sale that they hold every May. Local residents can buy a table for $20 to sell their items or if you're decluttering you can drop off donations to them. The event will be held on May 2nd this year from 9 am to 1 pm. It will be located at the sales centre in Oak Park (corner of Glenashton and Sawgrass). And don't forget to enjoy one of the horse and wagon rides with your kids. I am sponsoring this event again for the fourth consecutive year and hope that it help raise lots of money for the Oak Park Moms 'n Tots organization. Because I so strongly believe in the services they provide and the benefit to all of us a community, I have also committed to a $100.00 donation from each home that I sell in 2009 in the Oak Park area.
Please come out on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 and show your support, have some fun and be a part of the North Oakville Community.

I do not like getting a haircut; mainly because I love my hair too much, but other than that, another thing that I do not like is that, I have thick, straight hair that are not easy to cut, or to tame. So, in situations like that, the hair dresser must be really good with his or her scissors, or I will not be getting a proper haircut.
I have been looking for good hair salons almost all my life, it gets difficult especially if you move a lot, but the best suggestion I would give you is the Tribe Lifestyle Sydney. They are the best at what they do, and they have some of the best stylists as well.
If you are looking for a haircut, below are some questions that you should ask.
Does The Haircut Suit My Face?
Not many people know this but a haircut has a lot to do with how a person's face and its shape is. This is something that many people are not aware of at all. If you are planning on getting a haircut, the first thing that you need to be absolute about is that the haircut you want goes well with the shape of your face.
Can I Donate My Hair Afterwards?
If you have a lot of hair that needs to be cut, you can always ask if you can donate your hair after the haircut is done. Some places do offer this surface, and the hair is donated to various organizations who make good use of the hair that is donated to them by making wigs for patients who have cancer, or other diseases that result in hair loss.

By: Darren Pai
(KHNL) - State Senator Bob Hogue accused his opponent in Saturday's primary election of negative campaigning.
Hogue says Quentin Kawananakoa is trying to mislead voters about his position on Native Hawaiian issues.
Kawananakoa says he's simply stating the facts. A mailer distributed by republican Quentin Kawananakoa says his opponent Bob Hogue is close to activists known to oppose federal recognition of Native Hawaiians.
"My opponent, Mr. Hogue, my colleague, voted yes on the Akaka Bill on the floor of the legislature on the resolution. And now he's surrounded by some very conservative people," said Kawanakoa defending his mailer.
Kawanakoa said he wants to inform voters about Hogue's record on Native Hawaiian issues.
Protecting Native Hawaiian institutions, Hogue says, has always been one of his priorities.
He says he supported the Akaka Bill for that reason, "I have supported that and that has been my position all the way through. So it's unfortunate that there are these distorted mailers that have gone out that has distorted my position."
"If federal recognition results in a change in governance for Hawaiians," Hogue says, "the people of Hawaii should have a say in what happens. We should have a plebiscite, that is everyone should have an opportunity to vote on it because governance is so very important to all of us."

Dr Andrew Browning says it's hard to pick his most memorable patient, because there have been so many since he began working in Africa over two decades ago. "In the ward right now, I have a little girl who says she was born in 2006," he says, "She was raped, got pregnant and tried to deliver in her stick-and-mud hut in her village. After two days, she was brought to hospital and had a cesarean by an inexperienced and poorly equipped doctor. Although she got a live baby, she came to us nearly dead. We had to resuscitate her. I operated, had to remove her uterus, and she is now gaining strength. She's very lucky to be alive."
Many of his patients are from war zones. "One was raped by 10 soldiers," he says, "She was pregnant, so they cut her open in the forest, ripped out her baby and left her to die. When I treated her, she was so happy I asked how she could be. She said that God had bought people to help her."
These are just two patients, but the Australian obstetrician and gynaecologist – who lives in Arusha, Tanzania, with his wife and their two sons – has been involved in the care of over 10,000 people in over seven countries. So, how did an Australian doctor end up in Africa on a mission to revolutionise maternity care?
"From a young age, I always wanted to be a missionary doctor," says Dr Browning, "At the age of six, I heard a missionary nurse speak at my church Sunday school and I never looked back."
As a medical student, he was stationed in a mission hospital in Tanzania and worked at refugee camps on the border with Rwanda at the beginning of the genocide. As a junior doctor, he worked in the desert of Ethiopia, before returning to Australia to study theology, then moving permanently to Ethiopia in 1997. It was the Ethiopian government that suggested he specialise in obstetrics and gyneacology (after rejecting his work permit).
With just 20 per cent of married women believed to be using some form of family planning, Africa has the highest birth rate of any region on earth, and some of its most impoverished areas. UNICEF suggests that the risk of stillbirth or death due to birth complications can be reduced by around 20 per cent with the presence of a skilled birth attendant. However, only 50 per cent of women in sub-Saharan and south and east Africa have such access.
Statistics like these drive Dr Browning's work. Specialising in the treatment of fistulas, he is the founder of Maternity Africa in Tanzania – a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping women across Africa by making child birth safe – and runs maternity hospitals in Tanzania and Ethiopia, supervising the delivery of around 8,000 women a year.
His work is supported by the Australian organisations The Barbara May Foundation and The Mother Africa foundation, whose social enterprise sells leather nappy bags for men – a gap in the baby product market – with all profits going towards healing African mothers. The profits from two 'Dad Bags' enable a fistula operation and pay for two weeks' accommodation with three meals per day whilst the woman recovers. They also sell Babes Blessing wine, in partnership with the Austrian winery, Soul Growers.
But, there are always more people to help. Maternity Africa is currently engaged in its largest project to date – building the Kivulini Maternity Centre in Arusha (Kivulini is a Swahili word meaning shade).
The complex includes 44 beds, a dedicated skills lab and staff hostel, fistula surgery, waiting areas and a café for patients. When at capacity, it will be able to safely deliver 2500-3000 women per year for free, in additional to 10,000 clinic visits, 2000 family planning visits, 150 fistula operations and train 60 midwives in clinical skills per year. They also plan to run outreach programs to villages teaching safe motherhood and reproductive health.
"We've already got a couple of similar, but smaller, hospitals in Ethiopia," says Dr Browning. "The hospital in Arusha will cost nearly AU$1million to run per year. Ethiopia is cheaper. In our hospital in Barhirdar, Northern Ethiopia, we delivered over 2000 women and 7500 clinic visits last year for US$203,000. That's very cheap when it includes all salaries, medicines, laundry, water, electricity."
It's proof that a relatively small donation can make a difference – even the cost of a men's nappy bag. "My hopes for the future is that all women in Africa will have access to a safe delivery," says Doctor Browning, "No woman should have to suffer unnecessarily."

Many entrepreneurs start their businesses with their own visions and in rather organic ways. The team is kept small and would usually consists of people whom they know as friends, business associates or even family members.
Decision making is usually consultative within the team and at times, the CEO has to make the final decision on behalf of the team. The organization structure of a start-up is very lean and usually consists of 2 to 5 people.
This is the beginning of micro-enterprises. At this stage, I would define them as organizations in experimental stage – a stage where we do not know if the startup will survive or die in 6 months. This is the most volatile phase.
What happens when the business start to grow beyond the initial team?
I have seen, many times, an entrepreneur struggling to maintain its culture, people and practices which was so easily manageable when it was a small setup. This happens as more and more people are added into the organisation, many of whom the entrepreneur does not necessarily come into contact with as the hierarchy becomes steeper and layers of management are added into the process to create efficiency.
Growing a company is an art that is filled with many challenges especially to the entrepreneur/founder. The challenge is to keep the company on course while scaling up quickly. Throughout the years in business, there are many lessons to learn from those who have done it; starting from organic entrepreneurship, moving on to growth and eventually IPO. Here are some of the advice we would like to share:
1. Have a mission and set values early on
Articulate to your employees where the business is headed, and set values everyone should commit to as a community, and in turn hold each other to in order to set the business on that path.
As the company gets bigger, you don't really know everyone's names unlike the early days. So how are you going to get everyone on the same path? Good leadership is about articulating your vision and mission to the entire organization and helping everyone to embrace the vision, mission, philosophy and culture.
2. 'Grow' great people
Focus on human capital development. At a stage of your business life when execution is key to success of the business, it makes sense to have great talented people and making sure that your people are well equipped to grow with the company; otherwise they will find themselves unable to fit into the new organisation growth.
This is where high turnover will happen unless the company provides training programs to upgrade their skills so that they could handle the challenges at the growth stage.
3. Embrace processes
When your staff swells to 30 people or more, trying to manage everyone and every project can be exhausting — if not downright impossible. So you have to set goals and priorities for yourself as well as your employees. You'll have to manage them by objectives.
Make sure they know the priorities. Stay organized and don't let things fall through the cracks. At this stage, it is very important to focus on the management aspect of the business. This is the part that needs to be strengthened since you will require your managers to execute with precision. Hence the beginning of a management system.
4. Hire good people and a professional team
Like it or not, your original entrepreneur team may run out its course when the company moves towards growth. Time for them to play a different role albeit a strategic role instead of the day-to-day operations.
Hire good people and a good and professional team who knows their job well. They are your key success factor. Time for the entrepreneur team to let go and explore other opportunities for the organization.
5. Join a MasterMind Group
A MasterMind Group will give you good support and advice when you encounter hurdles in your growth path. They are people who are in the same growth stage and more likely the entrepreneur would benefit from the collective experiences, network and connectivity that the group profess.
6. Leadership and Management
At this stage of growth, the business transitions from being entrepreneurial to leadership and management. Gone are the days where the flow of the company and decision making is based on entreprenuerial or opportunistic thinking.
Proper management systems and leadership structure must now be in place to drive corporate governance and accountability. KPIs and precision execution are key drivers of the organization. The organization is now driven by revenues and profits; not ideas and passion.
Moving Into a Corporate Culture
Transitioning from entrepreneurial to a corporate organization with a clear corporate and leadership structure, management systems, talent development and emphasis on governance and accountability is a painful process.
Most times, the founder and the initial founding staff will find it difficult to adapt to these changes. Nevertheless, change is necessary in order to position the company towards the growth path.
It is inevitable that the company will experience a high turnover of the founding management staff at this stage of adaptation and in its place, a professional team of managers take charge in the next stage of growth.
At this stage, it is best that the founding CEO re-evaluates his/her capabilities and perhaps consider vacating his/her seat in favor of one professional CEO that could take the company to the next level. This is what happens at Google where Eric Schmidt took the helm of a professional CEO at Google in the place of the founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
Change is not at all bad. It is vital when a company experiences growth. Hence to be prepared for growth after surviving the death valley, these six steps will put a founding CEO in good stead to steer the company ship to the right direction.

Aston Villa take on the visitors Birmingham at "Villa Park" in the round 31 of the English Championship. The match will be played in Birmingham on Sunday, February 11th.
Last season Aston Villa performed in the English elite division, having disappointed everybody and relegated to the Championship. At the moment "Villans" sit on the third position in the second division table with 56 points taken after 30 gameweeks behind. The club has one of the strongest offenses in the Championship which has scored 46 goals already, however, its defense also looks tough with 27 goals conceded. In the recent battles conducted at "Villa Park" Aston Villa have broken Burton 3:2 and Barnsley 3:1, but lost 1:3 to Peterborough within the FA Cup.

Meanwhile, Birmingham highly distress their supporters in this season. "Brammies" are sitting now on the 19th place in the Championship standings with 30 points gained after 30 clashes played. The team's attack is a real disaster as it has managed to score only 22 goals while its defense also stays in a horrible competitive form, having conceded 41 goals already. In the previous games conducted on the road Birmingham have beaten Sheffield Wed 3:1 plus deserved two draws against Preston and Huddersfield with the same 1:1 scoreline.
Birmingham and Aston Villa recorded 0:0 draw in the reverse fixture played earlier in this season. Still, at this moment "Villans" have much higher chances for a successful outcome of the forthcoming clash as they are fighting for promotion to the Premier League while "Brammies" have stuck in the bottom part of the table. Therefore, the visitors are not likely to get any points in the upcoming Birmingham derby.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win.

Mr Trump's reversal of decades of U.S. policy enraged Palestinians, who want to create an independent state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as their capital. A bid by the Trump administration to restart negotiations has shown no real signs of progress, and Palestinians now say the Jerusalem decision has ruled the United States out as a mediator in the peace process. In a statement, he said the Israeli-issued permits were "nearly impossible to obtain" and that demolitions such as Sunday's, among other Israeli policies, "have created a coercive environment that violates the human rights of residents and generates a risk of forcible transfer".

A lot of collectors are balking at paying big money for Barry Bonds memorabilia right now, but wait 100 years or so. By then the whiff of scandal so conspicuous today won't hurt sales of gear connected to the most unloved slugger in baseball. It might even help.
Think Shoeless Joe Jackson or Ty Cobb and imagine how distant generations might regard the allegedly surly, ostensibly fan-unfriendly, steroid-rumor-tainted San Francisco Giant -- but don't do it around Sally Levine, co-owner of Memory Lane, a memorabilia store in Manhattan Beach.
"We're tired of him," Levine said. "We want him to go away. And now the record's gone, maybe he will."
Bonds hasn't been very good for business. Levine had a framed and autographed Bonds baseball bat in stock for 2 1/2 years. It started out at $1,895; she unloaded it a few months ago for $995.
"It was like having an autographed O.J. Simpson photograph," Levine said.
She wasn't impressed by Bonds' besting Hank Aaron's career home run record Tuesday night, hitting No. 756 in the fifth inning against the Washington Nationals, though some collectors were. The average selling price for a piece of Bonds memorabilia on EBay shot up more than 600% after he belted the record-breaker out of AT&T Park, the online auction house said, to $378.20.

(Six area school principals will battle in buses next Tuesday during Week 1 of the Bojangles' Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway. / HHP – Tami Pope photo)
CONCORD, NC : An action-packed 25th season of Bojangles' Summer Shootout grassroots racing roars to life on Monday and Tuesday, as a two-day extravaganza of quad racing, area principal school bus slobberknockers and a double dose of Legend Cars and Bandoleros race around Charlotte Motor Speedway's frontstretch quarter-mile.
The opening chapter of family-friendly entertainment at the Bojangles' Summer Shootout includes a quad race on Monday to lead up to Tuesday's showdown for the title of "Head of Class." John Motley Morehead STEM Academy Assistant Principal Charlie Copeland claimed the championship belt with a late-race pass in last year's heated battle of the buses, but Copeland will have to take down another recent champion this season.
W.M. Irvin Elementary Principal Tonya Williams, the 2016 bus race winner, will chase her second victory in the last three years.
"I'm very excited about racing again," Williams said. "I'm looking forward to bringing that beautiful championship belt home to W.M. Irvin Elementary. Racing those school buses is a lot of fun and it's great entertainment at the same time. I love being a part of it."
Copeland believes he has the right stuff to take his opponents to school in Tuesday's two-ton tussle of buses.
"After last year's rain delay and racing on a wet track, I'm looking forward to a race on a dry track so no principals can make up excuses this year," Copeland said. "My goal is to stay on the inside and keep the tires on the ground in the turns."
This year's school principal bus race field includes:
- Tonya Williams, W.M. Irvin Elementary
- Erika Hedgepeth, United Community School
- Charlie Copeland, John Motley Morehead STEM Academy
- Jamie Mabry, Concord Middle School
- Terri Fox, Bradford Prep Charter School
- Christopher Scholl, Langree Charter Academy
- Anna Blessington, Northwest Cabarrus Middle School
The Bojangles' Summer Shootout features exhilarating short-track action among Legend Cars and Bandoleros chasing championships in the world's ultimate grassroots racing experience. This year's field includes more than 130 cars.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing beginning at approximately 7 p.m. on both nights.
Tickets to Bojangles' Summer Shootout races cost just $8 for adults while kids 13 and under get in FREE. Tickets are available by visiting online, at the gates or by calling 1-800-455-FANS (3267).

Alternate history war stories are always interesting, but add a little bit of magic and truly wonderful animation and you've got the ingredients for a great season contender.
Saga of Tanya the Evil is a show about a lieutenant, Tanya, who is only nine-years-old. She is a prodigy of her time and leads a formidable small air cavalry for a nation very similar to World War One-ish era Germany. In this world, magic exists and for the purposes of war it can be shot through guns as high-powered blasts or used to properly yourself through the air.
Most of this episode is a focus on introducing the setting, the idea of air cavalry mages, and obviously Tanya's demeanor. The introduction of story is secondary and likely takes place in the following episode, but like all great shows, Tanya doesn't need to weave intense plot threads immediately.
When Saga of Tanya opens we get a look at some great coloring and background decisions. The battlefield is muted and dreary, and the only bright colors are blue and red. Blue from the mage propulsion gear and red from fire and sometimes blood. The horrible vibrancy of the reds and blues is shocking. These simple color choices make you uneasy – just like how you should feel while watching a battle.
Another shocking aspect in the show is Tanya's and her second, Viktoriya's, character design. Everyone else is relatively realistic and with little stylization, but both Tanya and Viktoriya have very large, blue eyes to exemplify their youth. While this is initially surprising and takes you out of the kayfabe of the show, after a few minutes of watching the masterful way Tanya fights, the huge eyes start to meld perfectly with the characters. These eyes also really lend themselves to all the mean, angry expressions from Tanya, and all the horrified, innocent expressions from Viktoriya.
In the beginning of the episode we see Tanya, Viktoriya, and two nameless pieces of male cannon fodder observing the battlefield as air cavalry. In this world, the air cavalry consists in part of mages using magic powered propulsion systems to act as recon and attack from the air. Against Tanya's order, the two guys rush the front lines from their mid-sky recon in a fit of passion. They charge the attacking force in an effort protect their brethren.
Tanya is rightly upset at the boys for not following her orders and later almost kills them until Viktoriya stops her. Instead of corporal punishment, Tanya sends them to pillbox toward the rear of the army. We later learn that the pillbox was bombed and the team inside killed. Tanya knew that the pillbox was a perfect target for two blowhards who wouldn't listen to orders. It's really quite genius.
However, before we learn about the boy's' death, Tanya and Viktoriya go on a mission to fight a group of Republicans (possibly the French allegory? I'm not really sure-). It's here that we see Viktoriya's need to win Tanya's praise and respect. Viktoriya wants to prove herself to her senior, and if it's pushing her body to its limits- then by God, she'll do it.
Tanya and her adopted company go to meet the opposing country's air cav. She decides to meet and take care of those soldiers herself using her immense power. Seriously, Tanya is not only a flying ace, but she's also an insanely powerful mage. She shoots what almost amounts to an atom bomb at the soldiers, and her company's feels the blowback from the blast. If you call annihilating an enemy force as successful- then this operation was very much a success.
Throughout the episode other characters are alluding to Tanya's temper and ruthlessness, but we don't quite get the full taste of the "evil" the show title promises. As far as I'm concerned, I don't see anything Tanya has done as evil- but maybe that says more about me as a person. I'm sure more terribleness is come -and if this episode is a testament- this is going to be marvelous. Tanya is a true patriot of her fatherland, and I can't wait to see her shine over the course of the season.

Better Than Ezra formed in 1988 when all original members were studying at Louisiana State University. Better Than Ezra tour dates were scheduled throughout Baton Rouge, to generate buzz for their demo tape. The band released an independent album, Surprise, in 1990 and toured vociferously to support it. However, tragedy befell the group when lead guitarist, Joel Rundell, committed suicide. Better Than Ezra immediately halted plans for continued touring and recording in light of the tragedy. They regrouped in 1993 to record Deluxe, in 1993 and independently released it gaining an almost immediate following that included major labels and millions of fans. After four years of constant touring, Better Than Ezra signed with Elektra Records and the rest is history.
They reworked and released, Deluxe, shortly after being signed and scored a #1 single, "Good", in 1995. Of their success, frontman Tom Drummond stated "It took us seven years to get signed and then seven weeks to get to No. 1." Better Than Ezra toured extensively to promote the disc and scored a Platinum plaque. They released their sophomore set, Friction Baby in 1996, How Does Your Garden Grow? in 1998, and continued to tour extensively throughout the decade. By the turn of the millennium their music evolved into a more Adult Contemporary feel and they scored several hits in that format. Their 2005 album, Before the Robots scored three top thirty Adult Contemporary singles on the Billboard charts.
The band's latest album, Paper Empire was released in 2009 and debuted at #69 on the Billboard 200, encompassing a near twenty year career on the charts.
