"I Am" (Helen Mallicoat)
I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:
"My name is I Am".
He paused.
I waited.
He continued,
"When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard.
I am not there.
My name is not I Was;
When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard.
I am not there.
My name is not I will be.
When you live in this moment, it is not hard.
I am here.
My name is I am.

Don Martin: It's a charade, but question period is the only answer
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stands during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Monday, Sept. 17, 2018. Parliamentarians returned to the House of Commons today following the summer break. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick
Today was the 13th question period in the House of Commons this month. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has attended just three of them, only one being on a Wednesday when he dances around every opposition query.
Mind you, Official Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer hasn't exactly earned a gold star for House attendance. He's only made five appearances this month. All this while newly-elected NDP leader Jagmeet Singh struggles daily to prove his verbal dexterity by dancing with a ghost, indignantly assailing a prime minister usually represented by an empty seat.
The public could be forgiven for giving this absurd theatre the same level of respect and commitment as the two major party leaders.
It has become a charade of staff-crafted questions clashing with well-rehearsed non-answers, which are put down on paper lest a $250,000 a year cabinet minister is unable to memorize even the simplest two-sentence response.
The public rightly views it as a desk-thumping spectacle devoid of spontaneity, making no pretense of conveying useful information and missing any congenial banter.
Still, while far closer to a theatre of the absurd than approximating a great debate, question period remains the only encounter of political accountability between the government and opposition forces.
And there is precedent that attendance can become an issue, particularly in an election year.
Lest we forget that signature moment in the 2011 election debate when then-leader Jack Layton admonished out then-Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff for missing 70 per cent of the Commons votes.
It scored a devastating hit and was credited for helping sink the Liberals to third place status.
If House attendance can be made to matter this fall, that task will fall to Green Party leader Elizabeth May. Her devotion to being in the Commons at every opportunity falls somewhere between a fixation and fanaticism.
Of course, being out in the real world may well be a better use of a leader's election-year schedule.
But until there's a better way to crank the thumb screws on government accountability and put the onus for doing that on opposition forces, question period is the only answer.
That's the Last Word.

Have you ever gone out to a restaurant and had the best chicken of your life, only to think to yourself why doesn't my chicken taste this good?
Chicken is one of the most popular and readily available proteins in the world. Almost all cultures have their own classic Chicken dish. This is because chicken and eggs are both fantastic and renewable food sources. They are fairly easy to raise as well.
Beyond the fact that it's readily available and easy to source, chicken is also simple to cook, right? Well this is both true and not true. Chicken is easy to cook and is extremely versatile, however chicken is also one of the easiest things to screw up. So what takes a chicken dish from being a boring weekday "1950s mom" meal and pushes into a gourmet experience? Texture!
If you think about all the good chicken you've ever eaten in your life it doesn't matter what kind of meal it was if it was good chicken it was juicy and tender. So today I am going to explain how to use two simple techniques that will elevate your next chicken from simple to scrumptious. Why are rotisserie chickens so delicious? because they maintain their juices. So here are two ways to make your chicken both flavorful and juicy.
No this is not some dirty new move for the bedroom. This is the simple act of removing the spine of a bird. Simple? Really? Yes! Simple! I promise you, anyone can spatchcock a chicken, you can also use this technique for your Thanksgiving Turkey and cut your cooking time nearly in half. Its an easy technique that will allow you to make sure you cook your chicken evenly.
Have you ever roasted a chicken and tested the breast and it seems to be cooked then when you pull the chicken out the thigh meat is raw and bloody? Then to top it off you stick the chicken back in to finish cooking and suddenly the it becomes ridiculously dry. What happened? Well not only does dark meat take longer to cook, but when you pulled the chicken out to cut into it you removed that perfect layer of skin that was holding in the moisture that allows those juices to redistribute back into the meat when the chicken cools enough.
This simple technique will take 5 minutes and will keep that roasting blunder from being a problem.
Here's the step by step:
Step 1. You need a whole chicken. (Here's a tip when dealing with raw chicken. People are very afraid of raw chicken and for good reason, salmonella is no joke. But if you keep your chicken stored in the container you'll be cooking it in you can keep the raw chicken juice from leaking on your counter or refrigerator.)
(Also when dealing with raw chicken for your countertop bleach will be your best friend.)
Step 2. Pull out the neck and giblets that may be in the chicken's cavity and set aside in a container.
Step 3. Flip chicken over (breast-side down) and cut around the spine using sharp kitchen Shears. Set aside spine with giblet bowl, and clean out any other giblets.
Step 4. Flip your spineless chicken over and arrange it so the bones are down in the pan and the legs and breasts are right-side-up.
There's your Spatchcocked Chicken.
Now to prepare it for cooking…
I mentioned two techniques to make your chicken taste gourmet… here's the second… Butter-rub.
Fat is essential to any good food. But when roasting chicken using a butter rub will greatly improve the texture and flavor of your chicken. Using a butter rub on chicken is like buying poultry insurance. It adds flavor while keeping the chicken from drying out and will help brown the skin. So you end up with a beautiful finished product.
Here's how to cook your spatchcocked chicken with a butter rub.
Step 1. Preheat oven to 375.
Step 2. Dry the chicken
Step 3. Rub butter on the chicken both on top and under the chicken skin. (Use 1 tbsp per pound of meat for chickens. Just an FYI This ratio doesn't work the same for turkey.)
Step 4. Add salt, pepper and herbs.
Step 5. Cut an entire head of garlic in half and place under your chicken. (i used to place in the cavity of the chicken before I learned how to spatchcock a chicken so this mimics the same effect.
Step 6. Share a drink with your chicken! Add about a half cup of dry white wine.
Step 7. Put your chicken in the oven for about 45 minutes. Here's another tip for those of you on a budget. I don't have a convection oven so I store my stoneware in the oven and keep it in there when roasting food because I find that it distributes the heat a little better.
Step 8. Cook until chicken is about 160 internal temp. If your chicken didn't brown as much as you would like, finish for 5-10 minutes under the broiler.
And voila!
Check back for my roasted veggie recipe!

Being involved in a car accident is not a good situation, especially if you have injuries and damages to deal with. Fortunately, there is a branch of law that gives you the right to seek compensation for your damages and injuries, and this branch of law is called personal injury law. While you do not have to hire a lawyer to help you settle, it is often a good idea to do so. If you are not sure if you should or not, here are three questions to think about.
How Severe Are Your Injuries?
A lot of car accidents are minor, and they leave people with very few injuries; however, there are also cases when the injuries are extremely severe. In some cases, people are left with permanent injuries they will live with for the rest of their lives. In most minor car accident cases, handling the settlement alone is fairly easy to do. In fact, settling a minor car accident case is usually fast and simple, and you can usually get a few bucks out of the deal.
The problem with handling a major case yourself is having the knowledge to know how to do this. If you are suffering permanent or major injuries from the accident, you really should consider hiring a lawyer to help you. It's not easy settling a major case on your own, especially when you are struggling with health problems after the accident.
Is the Other Party's Insurance Company Willing to Negotiate?
The second thing to analyze is how willing the insurance company is to negotiate. Has the insurance company even agreed to take the fault for the accident? If the insurance company is fighting you about any part of the case, you may have a tough road ahead of you if you handle the case alone, even if you only have minor injuries.
When you are ready to talk to the insurance company after the accident, you can find out how willing they are to settle. You can ask the questions you have, and you can base what you do on the responses they give you. If you feel that they are not going to work with you the way you want them to, go and talk to an attorney about your case.
Do You Understand How Personal Injury Cases Work?
One of the main problems you can experience if you handle your case alone is losing out on compensation for things you didn't know you could ask for. For example, do you understand how to ask for damages relating to emotional trauma? Most people do not know that they can receive compensation for this.
Also, do you know how compensation works for loss of future income? If you incurred injuries that will prevent you from earning the same amount of income in the future, you may be able to receive compensation for this.
There are many things you can receive compensation for after a car accident. Unfortunately, average people do not know how this works. The best part about hiring a car accident lawyer is that you will have a knowledgeable, experienced person helping you fight for what you are legally entitled to. The result of this usually amounts to receiving more money in compensation from the accident. Why settle for less than what you could receive if you don't have to?
If you are not sure what you should do, you could talk to a car accident lawyer at firms like Speers Reuland & Cibulskis, P.C. to get advice. Most car accident lawyers offer free consultation appointments, and you can schedule one by contacting a law office today.

[Not many people today know about corrupt legacy and deceit history of NDTV Head Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy. How Prannoy Roy, his wife Radhika Roy of NDTV, palmed off Doordarshan in a way not dissimilar to how DB Realty palmed off Telecom Ministry and the tax payer. Tweeple and guest blogger Shri @s_chaitanya provides valuable insights that will help one understand deceit nature of major sections of Indian media today. Prannoy Roy's ascendency in broadcast media to a good extent explains why large sections of broadcast media show poor journalist standards. Prannoy Roy case is another example of determined rogues with connections conning Indians and escaping justice. Concluding portion of this post will surprise AB Vajpayee fans]
During 1997 and 1998, the names of NDTV and its founder Prannoy Roy appear in newspapers and magazines in relation to a major corruption case in Doordarshan. In the context of the recent reports of financial malpractice by NDTV and its founder Prannoy Roy, I followed up on this tweet by Kunal Majumdar, a journalist:
In 1998 CBI had filed a case against Pranoy Roy for creating a loss of Rs 5 cr to DD http://bit.ly/ij5lC3 #fb
I was surprised to learn of the existence of a CBI case against Prannoy Roy. I wanted to dig up more on this story. I went through all 16 pages returned by Google for "prannoy roy cbi dd" and found many interesting links. I'm putting the links here quoting revelant portions of the articles. One must be cautious before drawing conclusions from these articles as they were written more than a decade ago. But one conclusion that people may safely draw is that during the early 90s, NDTV and its founder and Executive Chairperson Prannoy Roy were allegedly involved in corrupt dealings reportedly causing a loss of atleast Rs. 3.52 crore to Doordarshan, allegedly bribed an official in the Government of India, and in January 1998 cases were filed against Roy and others by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for criminal conspiracy and under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Outlook, 1st September 1997: "Star Crossed | Star TV boss Rathikant Basu tries desperately to save his job as the CBI gets ready to file cases against him"
It's not just Basu who is under the CBI searchlight. Agency records name NDTV CEO Prannoy Roy as a beneficiary and the CBI is currently firming its case against him. Says V. Lakshmi Ratan, additional secretary, DOPT: "The case will be against both the bribe-giver and taker. Roy will definitely be in the CBI dragnet if the agency finds evidence against Basu." And the CBI's blotter of charges—though not new—can be potentially very damaging. At present, the agency is looking into two allegations: that in 1990, Basu as director general, Doordarshan, took the arbitrary decision to place a news-programme, The World This Week—produced by Prannoy Roy's NDTV—in the 'A' category for the purposes of sponsorship and in the 'A Special' category for spot buys. This decision, according to this year's annual Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report, cost the exchequer a whopping Rs 3.52 crore. […] The situation gets hairier for Basu since legal experts within the agency are almost unanimous that Basu's employment with Star TV—which, incidentally, has a tie-up with NDTV—on what is said to be a whopping monthly salary of Rs 15 lakh only three days after he left government service, establishes the fact that he was a beneficiary.
The original motivation for the CBI inquiry seems to be bureaucrat scrutiny at wrongdoing by Roy and Basu though sections of media appeared to project it differently. Outlook, 22nd Sep 1997: "How Zee Is Shooting Star: Lobbyists have a field day as Subhash Chandra guns for partner Murdoch's expansion plans"
Surely, our culture and democracy couldn't be so feeble. Hence the government seems to have adopted a more legalistic means to stop Star TV in its tracks. They've picked on Basu, once the government's favourite bureaucrat, today the bad boy of babudom who's sold out to Murdoch the marauder. Peer envy? Some elements in the bureaucracy agree. It is pointed out that when the DTH ban notification was issued, Basu, accompanied by Prannoy Roy and Rajat Sharma, had rushed to the prime minister who, in turn, had hauled up three senior bureaucrats—cabinet secretary T.S.R. Subramaniam, telecom secretary V.K. Gokak and the then information and broadcasting secretary N.P. Nawani—for issuing a sensitive order without consulting the PMO. That got the bureaucracy's goat and the ministry of personnel and the CBI were asked to fix Basu for good. Every available missile has since been fired at the Star TV India CEO—the rule book, an ultimatum to remit office within 15 days, the threat to set the CBI on his trail. It did spread panic—Gary Davey flew down to Delhi twice, Murdoch flew into Hong Kong to take stock and Star's ally, Prannoy Roy's NDTV, faced the prospect of being sucked into the vortex of the raging controversy—but, as things stand, Basu is still in the saddle and fighting. The case against him is that as a former DD chief, he is privy to the national broadcaster's long-term plans. But one has to be spectacularly gullible to swallow that line: the only secrets that DD can possibly yield for the benefit of its rivals would be about how not to run a network. It is, after all, a badly-managed outfit whose policies have less to do with market realities and its public service broadcasting aims than with the whims of its political bosses in Shastri Bhavan.
Indian Express, 20th Jan 1998: CBI case against Prannoy Roy
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a case of criminal conspiracy against New Delhi Television (NDTV) managing director Prannoy Roy, former Director General of Doordarshan and present Chief Executive Officer of Star TV R Basu and and five other top officials of Doordarshan. The First Information Report (FIR) filed on the basis of "source information"' says that the undue favour granted to Prannoy Roy had led to a loss of approximately Rs five crore to Doordarshan. The FIR filed in the court of Special CBI judge Ajit Bharihoke alleges that the officials of Doordarshan had "entered into a criminal conspiracy at New Delhi during 1990-1996 with Prannoy Roy with a view to cause favour by abusing their official position." According to the CBI charge-sheet, DD suffered a loss of over Rs 3.52 crore due to the "undue favours" shown to NDTV as its programme The World This Week (TWTW) was put in `A' category instead of `special A' category.
The case filed was specific. Not much is known about the fate of the CBI case. While the Indian Express report says that a case was indeed filed against Prannoy Roy, NDTV's public offering prospectus in 2004 seemingly falsifies this information and implies that there was no FIR or no case was filed against NDTV or Roy:
The Company and its promoters have also been named in an First Information Report (FIR) filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in January 1998 against certain DD officials in relation to certain violations of rules by DD officials pertaining to certain programmes produced by the Company for telecast by DD. Till date, no case has been instituted against the Company based on the investigation carried out pursuant to the FIR.
In March 1998, Smt Sushma Swaraj took over as Information & Broadcasting Minister in AB Vajpayee's cabinet. This was what was last heard. Indian Express, 9th July 1998: Mandarins' Murdoch mission likely to end up in smoke
Another wrongstreet the government is getting into is going after Murdoch through Prannoy Roy and R Basu. Sushma Swaraj has said that she is letting loose the CBI to look into the undue benefits provided to NDTV by DD when he used to provide the state network with programming. An issue that has been simmering for the past couple of years but has got nowhere. It's about time, the authorities stop their tomfoolery and get over their Murdoch fixation.
Here's some kind of "list of events" related to DD from 1998: Doordarshan: The Year That Was! It seems to have been in memory as late as 2003, as shown in this article at Rediff from March 2003:
Information & Broadcast Ministry, Doordarshan and discretion Despite the recent public focus on the misuse of ministerial discretion, nothing seems to have changed. A case in point is the information and broadcasting ministry. In the recent past, Doordarshan has turned many including Prannoy Roy to Vinod Dua into millionaires. And many more constantly knock at its doors for make-me-rich-overnight contracts, especially where commissioned programmes are concerned.
[Editor: The whole saga turns up several interesting points. Who bailed Prannoy Roy and NDTV out? Needle of suspicion points at the following people in the NDA Government: AB Vajpayee, PM, Brajesh Mishra, Cabinet Secretary, LK Advani, Home Minister, Law Minister Arun Jatiley and Sushma Swaraj, Information & Broadcast Minister. The decision could have been a consensual one driven by Brajesh Mishra. One does notice that Brajesh finds himself in NDTV whenever he wants. AB Vajpayee to NDTV was always the good man in a bad party. NDTV's coverage on Mr Arun Jaitley and Smt Swaraj is markedly different from its coverage of Shri Narendra Modi. By the way, Arun Jaitley was cited by Chitra Subramaniam on helping Bofors cover up and helping Sonia family. Before 2009 elections, LK Advani was specially awarded by NDTV for life time achievement (for what? babri mosque structure demolition? 😉). Progressively in Indian media, journalism of courage has by and large been buried. Prannoy James Roy, son of English Mother and Bengali father has done rather well by networking with the powerful and the corrupt. He is a member of the CFR. He is a co-brother of Prakash Karat, Marxist Communist Party, General Secretary who by the way is also a bible expert and who was guided by liberation theologian, Reverend Duncan Forester for scholarship to Edinburgh University (Wikipedia wont tell you this. 😉 ) Prannoy is Suzanne (aka Arundati) Roy's cousin. Not surprisingly, NDTV partners Christian fascist World Vision notorious for its intolerance. By and large and not surprisingly NDTV has been faithful to christianist, red and islamist networks whose anti-Hindu agenda, NDTV champions. Discourse subversion by the likes of NDTV has high costs and is not understood by many. One shudders to think to what compromises, NDTV and the Roys would have done to sustain their almost perpetually loss-making entity. Continuous survival of a continually loss making NDTV is a financial miracle in itself that calls for scrutiny. Further, success through corruption sets a very wrong example to the society. Its not a coincidence that Rajdeep Sardesai, Raghav Behl and others have sought to emulate Prannoy Roy Model of Corruption and Deceit journalism. It is said old habits die hard. NDTV was again in the news for corruption. Sunday Guardian highlighted how NDTV avoids Taxes and of financial chicanery with ICICI bank. NDTV decided to brazen it out and tried intimidating tactics with Sunday Guardian. And well, interview appearances, 'awards' for Chanda Kochchar, 'Life time Achievement' for KV Kamath 😉 and award to ICICI have nothing to do with quid pro quo? Fredrick Hayek's rule on people violating ossified rules in India kind of scarcity environment has been proffered at times to justify corruption. That defence does not hold in cases similar to prannoy roy's CBI case where the goal is to defraud the tax-payer and criminal conspiracy is involved. It might be worthwhile for intrepid RTI –waalas to cull out facts on Prannoy Roy's CBI case. Dr. Swamy suggests innovative ways to prosecute the corrupt. These approaches are likely to work when the judiciary is fair. Judiciary, post KG Balakrishnan seems different and presents a window of opportunity to tame corruption such as NDTV's]

Are you using the best evidence to support your products value and price? Are your colleagues? To identify the strongest data and to keep everyone on message, a value dossier can be very advantageous. In brief, value dossiers are documents providing compilations of evidence to support the value of an intervention. Such value can be economic (e.g. cost-savings and cost-effectiveness), or patient outcomes (e.g. mortality, pain, and adverse events). The dossier can be written directly for provision to your customers or for use internally as a "product bible".
The precise nature of a value dossier is tailored to the needs of the situation, limited only by what data are available. At Coreva Scientific, value dossiers can be broadly cast into two categories: the global value dossier (GVD) and the short-form value dossier (SF-VD). The GVD serves as a comprehensive resource of all available data related to a device or intervention. It will provide both context, including description of the disease (epidemiology, current treatment), unmet needs, available interventions, and data related to your intervention or product (efficacy, outcomes, economic impact). Any internal data are supported by referenced reports drawn from the highest available quality, published, peer-reviewed literature derived from a comprehensive structured search. Pulling all the data together, the GVD presents the product's evidenced-based key messages for communication to your internal team and customers.
In contrast, the short-form value dossier (SF-VD) is an abridged version of the GVD. This document may also be global in scope and include background/disease context, but will provide more of a narrative with tables, summary figures, and potentially aggregate statistics to bring together the granular detail available in a GVD. The SF-VD can be customer-facing (payers, providers, or patients), with a narrative flow for value messaging. It has a greater focus on readability and effective communication tailored to the target audience.
Whichever dossier is generated, an important consideration is objectivity of data collection. Especially for the SF-VD, with its more focused remit, the audience must be reassured that the literature presented is not a biased view of the landscape, selected for positive outcomes. The potential (and indeed expectation) is, that the dossiers contain both positive and less positive results for your product. Despair not – no one believes in the miracle cure! It is generally understood that an intervention may not perform perfectly in all: situations, patient populations, and providers' hands. Careful examination of outlying results will increase the fidelity of the report, more effectively communicating the real world situation to those making the all-important purchasing decision.
The skill required to prepare a value dossier, is to be able to get the data to communicate its value. This is where Coreva Scientific excels, we would be happy to discuss any requirements with you.

I recently had the chance to go to Stuart to visit the Yo-Zuri headquarters and do some fishing with a friend of mine, Jimmy Nelson, the host of extreme fishing adventures.
After a tour of the facility we sat down to learn about Yo-Zuri's new lure selection for 2011.
One lure that I was not familiar with is the Edge Trembler which is a subsurface twitch bait that has become one of my favorite hard plastic baits for working deeper water. With it I am able to work various depths of the water column thouroughly and have found it very productive in getting reaction strikes.
Yo-zuri has also worked a special coating on their lures which lights up the the presence of UV light. Even though UV is not visible to the human eye, it is a spectrum visible to fish.
I also noted some of the other changes in crystal minnows which will be available toward the end of the year with a textured reflective coating.
Now with product in our hands, we hit the water. The tides were less than optimal but we still managed to have a very productive day on the water. Snook did not seem to be shy and we were able to convince them to come out and play

Expanding our Perspectives: From the classroom to the community
October 17-18
Grand Valley State University
Grand Rapids
Michigan Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages invites professionals involved with English language learners to submit proposals for our annual conference, to be held October 17th & 18th, at Grand Valley State University's Eberhard Center, in downtown Grand Rapids.
The theme of this year's conference, Expanding our Perspectives: From the Classroom to the Community, seeks to broaden our scope, to address the increasingly diverse needs of our membershipundefinedincluding those of our traditional constituents (in elementary, secondary, and post- secondary contexts), and those of professionals working in the many community-based and government-funded adult education programs across the state. This latter group serves a growing population of ESL studentsundefinedprimarily immigrants and refugeesundefinedwho often have limited formal schooling and little or no print literacy. Referred to by the acronym LESLLA (low-educated second language and literacy acquisition)undefinedor, for adolescents, SLIFE (students with limited or interrupted formal education)undefinedthese learners face the daunting task of acquiring another language while simultaneously learning how to read and write for the first time. This profile presents unique challenges for educators, administrators, and researchers alike.
MITESOL 2014 invites proposals related to all aspects of ESL/ELL/EAL in diverse contexts, including recent research, best practices, standards-based instruction, assessment, language policy & advocacy, CALL, program administration, and professional development. In keeping with this year's theme, we especially welcome proposals focusing on ESL among low-educated, low-literate adolescents and adults (including immigrants and refugees)undefinedand the programs, policies, and pedagogies that serve them.
Proposals are being accepted for the following formats:
• Paper (50 minutes)undefinedAn oral summary, with occasional reference to notes, visuals, etc.• Teaching Demonstration (50 minutes)undefinedA session that shows and explains a technique for
teaching or tutoring.• Panel Discussion (50 minutes)undefinedA structured, facilitated discussion of a hot topic in
TESOL. Panelists should have a strong knowledge of the topic.• Workshop (90 minutes)undefinedA structured, hands-on professional development activity.• Exhibitor Session (50 minutes)undefinedA showcase for new teaching materials and resources. The presenter must register as an exhibitor.
Proposals must be submitted through MITESOL's online conference proposal system by

Family Guy follows the adventures of an endearingly ignorant dad, PETER GRIFFIN (Seth MacFarlane), and his hilariously odd family of middle-class New Englanders in Quahog, RI. LOIS (Alex Borstein) is Peter's wife, a stay at home mom with no patience for her family's antics. Then there are their kids: 17-year-old MEG (Mila Kunis) is a social outcast and the Griffin family punching bag; 13-year-old CHRIS (Seth Green) is a socially awkward teen who doesn't have a clue about the opposite sex; and 1-year-old STEWIE (MacFarlane) is a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress. Rounding out the Griffin household is BRIAN (MacFarlane), the family dog, a member of Mensa with a penchant for dry martinis and dumb blondes.

Isabel MarantA conversation with Isabel
photography by Tung Walsh
interview by Felicity Carter
|Much like the discreet, unassuming nature of her clothing, Marant herself has always been very down to earth, with a low-key approach to the industry. One year after establishing her house in Paris' Marais district, she debuted her Spring Summer 1995 collection. In true Marant style she held the show in what she describes as a "debris-strewn courtyard of a squat," calling upon her friends to model. From there, she opened her first store in '98 in a former artist's studio on Rue de Charonne in the Bastille district. A year later she introduced her diffusion line, Étoile by Isabel Marant during Paris Fashion Week. The connotations of laid back, long limbed, understated beauties has given the house cult status for over two decades, and it's still going strong.
FC Do you have any fond memories of the time?
IM I remember back then, we used to go out a lot and we had so much fun. It was time without worries. Nowadays I feel that you have to fight constantly, you have to fight for everything, anything.
FC Who inspired you? Did you have any favorite creatives at that time?
IM I was really fond of all the minimalist designers, like Martin Margiela.
FC What was Paris like then?
IM In the late 80s, early 90s there were so many different music genres and movements. From Punk to New Wave Reggae and Rap, I remember there would be different crowds of people, and everyone would mix and have fun. There was so much energy and people also played much more with fashion; it was a real melting pot of cultures. As we got more into the 90s it became a lot more minimalist.
FC What is the role of Paris in your creative process?
IM Paris definitely taught me about the different cultures and how to take inspiration from each one. I am open to all kinds of movements, and the energy that brings; I'm curious about everything that surrounds me and that feeds my creative process.
FC The internet was not so accessible back then, what is your relationship with social media now?
IM I find that it is full of fakeness and I hate all of that. It doesn't affect me too much and people can do whatever they want, I am not judging, but I am not that interested in social media. I think it shows a certain weakness, and to me shows that the world doesn't know where to go. More and more people are putting their energy into it and I think that it's really sad. People are misunderstanding where real happiness is – to be recognized, known or famous isn't real happiness. I think it was really great that Martin Margiela never had his photo taken, he never showed his face. If I could have done that, I would have been so happy because I don't really like to be recognized in the street. I am selling my creations, it is not about my face.
|FC Is it difficult to switch off, or are you eager to start the next collection?
IM Honestly, I think the tempo and timing we have in fashion is designed to push everyone to the limit. Plus, we now have Pre-Collections, which we never had before, adding more pressure. You need time to create and each piece deserves an amount of it, and it is difficult to do that now. Fashion feels like a race, it's high intensity and it never seems to stop.
FC Your father was a photographer, is passion for photography something you have inherited?
IM My parents were very discreet about their jobs when I was growing up, and I never really realized that my mother was a model and my father was a photographer. I had always been surrounded by pictures, videos and he had a very precise aesthetic.
FC How much are you involved in the Inez and Vinoodh campaign's creative process? Do you have a favouite campaign of yours?
IM I am very involved with all of our campaigns along with my art director, and of course we have worked with Inez and Vinoodh for a long time now. As for my favourite campaign, I always prefer the latest one!
FC Do you have any favourite emerging creatives – designers, models? What do you look for in your models?
IM I like what Vetements are doing. There seems to be a group of designers now in Paris that are doing some really interesting work. There are so many new models all the time! We had some new faces in my last show. I love to play with their individual characters. For my models I look for a certain confidence and attitude. It's about when I see the girl in the room, and I will know that she just has something.
FC What is your thought about new generation?
IM I am amazed to see how much more realistic young people are now. They are very down to earth, more so than 10 years ago. I really believe we have a new generation that is aware and concerned, much more concerned than we ever were at their age.

The other night D came in in the middle of the night and whispered, "Mama, I think I might have to sleep with you because my pillow is on the floor." Could we pick the pillow up off the floor together, maybe, and then I could tuck her back into her bed? No. Definitely not. Greedy love indeed. Love this.ReplyDelete

Rocking around the clock with Patrick Friesacher at the TAG Heuer facility in Switzerland...
The last stretch of the F1 year is an incredibly busy time for Red Bull Racing. The factory is fully focussed on creating 2018's car, while the race team extends itself to get the maximum out of the sequence of flyaway races that form the finale of 2017.
It's not so much a process as a blur – but there's more going on than just this, with the Live Demo team keeping up a steady flow of show car runs in places that F1 cars would not otherwise be. On Thursday they were high in the Jura, thrilling spectators gathered at TAG-Heuer HQ in western Romandie.
Former Minardi driver Patrick Friesacher put the RB8 through its paces on a course laid down around the factory in the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds, epicentre of the watch-making industry, taking the 2012 double world championship-winning car through its full repertoire of donuts and burnouts.
"It's always fun to drive an F1 car, especially the RB8, which has a great sound and always gives me a big smile to drive," said Patrick. "The atmosphere was wonderful, and really good to see lots of kids in the crowd. It's not often you get to do a motorsports event in Switzerland – I think the last time I did I was driving the Red Bull NASCAR!"
While the Live Demo team often performs to audiences numbering in the hundreds of thousands, this was an altogether more intimate affair, with a crowd of around 500, mostly from our official timekeeper and performance partner gathered to see the RB8 and listen to tunes pumped out by our DJ.
After a couple of runs around the building, there was champagne and canapés for the spectators and a chance to chat with Patrick, while local schoolchildren got an impromptu tour of the Live Demo truck and mobile workshop.
It all went off like clockwork.

Dear Matthew, my precious son,
Today we celebrate you. Nine short years ago, you came into this world and stole our hearts.
You learned so much this past year. You can dress yourself, put your own shoes and socks on, and buckle yourself in the car. Your speech and reading skills keep improving, and you understand just about everything we tell you. You can follow directions so much better than you did even just a year ago, and your conversational skills keep impressing me, too. You have started to be very funny, on purpose. You definitely love to make people laugh.
You love to be helpful, whether that means getting a gallon of milk from the downstairs fridge, helping to set or clear the table, shopping for and unloading groceries, or helping Nathan with something he needs. You can even start a "Signing Time" DVD all by yourself, "for Nathan," of course, but you are kind enough to sit and watch it with him.
These are my favorite things about you:
Your smile
When you say, "I did it! I did it myself!"
The way you love your siblings, and the way they love you
Micah said just yesterday, "Mom, I just love people with Down syndrome! I just want to be around them and spend time with them!"
Your curiosity,
and the way you love all of God's creatures … but especially dogs, horses, and cows!
Your Joy
Your love for God and His Church
How fitting it is, that your heart is where your physical miracle took place. Your heart is so connected to your Creator. Your pure and precious heart is capable of the deepest, purest love I have known this side of heaven, and you love our Lord completely.
You have touched more hearts than we will ever know.
You are incredible, and we are very proud of you.
I love you, my Matthew, and I am so blessed to be your Mommy.

Our longtime friend and customer Tommy Garst is the proud owner of a 1999 hugger orange Camaro SS, and recently brought it to us to help finalize the combination and achieve the ET goal that he is been waiting so long to achieve. The vehicle was originally owned by his childhood best friend who unfortunately passed away years ago forcing his family to sell the car. While randomly browsing the pages of LS1tech one evening, Tommy found the car for sale again and knew that he had to have it back in his possession to complete the build that his friend had always wanted. The next morning he drove 8 hours only to have the seller back out of the deal at the last minute.
Fast forward a year or two, Tommy ended up purchasing an inferno red 5th gen Camaro that we had the pleasure of modifying with a cam/header package, Whipple supercharger, and many other small parts. Tommy loved the car competing in many different events with it, but still was not exactly what he wanted. The gentleman who backed out of the sale those years ago on the 4th gen ended up reaching back out to him as he didnt realize that they both had mutual friends who explained to the seller what the back story was on the car. Once he realized how important the car was to Tommy, he decided that he would in fact let the car go back in his hands. However, the car was undriveable when Tommy received it.
Since then, Tommy has worked at picking out every detail of what has been done to the car based on how his longtime friend would have wanted it. He even went so far as to build a solo garage for the car to stay in, and as far as he is aware the car still has never seen rain in its nearly 20 years and 40,000 miles of time on the streets.
After some rough dealings with vendors over the years, Tommy reached out to the team here at VR to see if we would consider working on the car. Being that the car had been previously modified it was not a typical project for us to take on, however we all still have a love for the F-Body, and value Tommys loyalty and business over the years and were happy to welcome the car into the shop to help in completing his and his friends dream build.
Since then we have gone back through the 370ci iron block engine, buttoned up the Huron Speed Products turbo system fitted with a single 91mm T6 turbocharger, installed an RPM Transmissions TH400 transmission and FTI Performance torque converter, Moser Racing12-bolt rear end, and went through the car thoroughly before tuning it here in house.
Just a few weeks ago we finally had the opportunity to get the car out to a drag strip to test the combination that Tommy had been working so hard to put together. The goal was a 9-second ET which was quickly shattered in the first pass off of the trailer. The end result for the day was a 9.1 @ 149mph through a torque converter that needs some heavy adjustment to work better with the combination.
We will be sending the converter back out later this year and doing a few more small tweaks to get Tommy an 8-second time slip, but in the meantime he has been enjoying the car on nice days around his Tennessee home taking his daughter out for ice cream and runs to the grocery store!
Check out the video below of Tommys car and runs at the track, and stay tuned for more updates on this beast coming throughout the year!

Keith Urban on the new language that comes with fatherhood
Musician Keith Urban was lost for words when it came to a conversation regarding baby clothing at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, TN on Friday. Fans have been sending gifts to the 40-year-old and his expectant wife Nicole Kidman, also 40. Keith said they were sent "a tie-dyed jumpsuit thing that we really like." When reporters told him it was probably a "onesie," Keith appeared confused and told the audience,
While Nicole was not present, she wasn't far from Keith's mind. Keith told reporters that while he loves having Nicole with him, they will have to wait and see if the baby will come on tour.
The couple's baby is due in late July. They know the sex but are keeping it private.

Learning the art of drawing is not difficult at all – Have you ever wondered artists develop with the best drawings which leave you wishing you knew how to draw? most of these did not grow up drawing, they learned the art of drawing from their childhood and continue till grown up. Whether you are considering giving your creativity a creative outlet or dream of becoming the Pablo Picasso, you can learn how to draw in three steps.
The best way to have a drawing that is realistic is to imagine from. Simply use repeated strokes, when it comes to sketching and loosen up things. You're sure to make mistakes but do not mind about them. This is placing a general idea rather than perfecting it. If you're drawing an object, compare what's on the thing and what you've sketched. The dimensions of the shapes ought to be as precise as possible.
Beginners who want to be great artists must begin with drawing the easiest things from a rough sketch. For example, if you're drawing a flower, do not draw one petal at a time. You might wind up forgetting about the big picture and drawing on one section of this item. You may wind up running out of the room or wind up getting a picture, should you ignore sketching what you would like to draw.
Think of which parts of the body need more light and the way the light strikes an object or need to be darker. This is an easy way to add depth, intensity, and luminosity. Improve Your sketch
This is a superb way to bring out parts. It is possible to take out. Details can be added by you by bit what you wanted. There are numerous methods you can use to boost your ability to express ideas.
Additionally, it is very important if you would like to get a drawing that is realistic to practice with shadows. You can be good at shadows if you understand and study the way light reflects from the shadow and objects which its leaves
Add realism touches – Mastering this practice is critical if you would like to create your drawings appear. This involves familiarizing yourself with items that are perspective-meaning that look bigger and which much look smaller. Understand the ratio of an object's parts relates to one another.
You are not going to have a drawing at first. It's important to comprehend that drawing is.

Silica nanowires provide strong mode confinement in a cylindrical silica-core/air-cladding geometry and serve a model system for studying nonlinear propagation of short optical pulses inside fibers. We report on the fiber diameter dependence of the supercontinuum generated by femtosecond laser pulses in silica fiber tapers with average diameters in the range of 200 nm to 1200 nm. We observe a strong diameter-dependence of the spectral broadening, which can be attributed to the fiber's diameter-dependent dispersion and nonlinearity. The short interaction length (less than 20 mm) and the low energy threshold for supercontinuum generation (about 1 nJ) make tapered fibers with diameters between 400 nm and 800 nm an ideal source of coherent white-light source in nanophotonics.

The Dimitar Berbatov conundrum continues to generate column inches.
The future of the Bulgarian looks to be as up in the air as ever. Previous inferences has suggested that Berbatov would be seeing out the remainder of his contract with no clubs having shown any confirmed interest in the thirty-one year old striker.
But, it seems that the striker doesn`t feel the same way and has taken to the networking site, Facebook, to plead his case, remarking,
"The truth is I love this club, but I am not going to be useful to anyone if I am not playing. And I want to play, I want to help."
"But for unknown reasons it`s not going to happen or my chances will be limited, so it`s better for everyone if we say goodbye."
"If not, I am professional and will keep doing everything I can to help my team whenever I have the opportunity to do so."
"Because I am tired of speculation, I am telling you this."
"I read the papers and see they say £10 million is my price. I talk with Sir Alex and he says £5 million. So who is telling the truth, what do you think?"
I`m now of the opinion that Berbatov will not be at Old Trafford come the end of the summer transfer window.
How about you?
Berbatov Looking for the Exit Door
The Dimitar Berbatov conundrum continues to generate column inches.

The little white dress is as important as a little black dress and the perfect option for summer garden parties. White is one of the purest colours and I love wearing it as often as I can. I loved discovering this new collection of dresses from Alisa Pan and made a video of them while walking the streets and parks in Bucharest. I love how versatile are these items that can be dressed up and down depending on the occasion. I have even worn them on my bike and on a boat on the lake. About that, I have to tell you that I have never paddled before in my life, or at least not without any help, alone in the middle of the lake. That was challenging and I couldn't feel my arms afterwards. But hey, I got to do a really intense arm workout while having fun and working for the blog. 😛
Hope you enjoy our 4 outfits lookbook and also the fun video. Also hope it inspires you to wear more white and go out and enjoy the last summer days, cuz 'winter is coming'!:))

Queen's off duty
Photo courtesy: Marcus Tondo (Vogue.com)
Playing with clothes, more precisely - taking 'cool' runaway pieces out to the street and applying them to my personal style is never a tiring game.
I think one of the most ironical yet memorable AW 2017 menswear collections was by way of Massimo Giorgetti for MSGM when the designer sent male models down the runaway in sportswear garments & jeans mixed with silk scarves which framed models' faces (nod to Queen Elizabeth II).
So this time I asked my galpal Julia to take me to my favorite location in Krasnodar (an abandoned railway station with some useless wagons) and take a couple of shots of me paying hommage to the infamous AW 2017 MSGM Menswear Collection by wearing a silk scarf on top of a military baseball cap and Domyos black kickboxing shorts (buy here).

Are you familiar with the term "career mapping"? If not, you should be. From an applicant or employee perspective, career mapping is a means for developing the skills you need to achieve your near-term and long-term career goals while adding value to an organization at the same time. This creates a win/win situation for you and your employer that is sure to make you both very happy. With this in mind, consider career mapping to be like laying the foundation of your future success with a well-designed plan.
One Simple Question
Peter Roper is the Head of Mobile Brand Strategy at Google and knows a thing or two about planning for future success. Before taking on his current career title in 2014, he decided that his best bet was to deprioritize new job opportunities not by compensation or geographic convenience but rather by the skills he hoped to develop.
Having worked in a range of industries spanning from advertising to sales to technology, Roper held many jobs before landing at Google. And even though his experience wasn't super specialized for his current role, the fact that he had a unique combination of skills made him a perfect candidate for his dream job.
In this recent-ish video interview with CNBC from March, he suggests that tech career hopefuls ask themselves the following question:
"What skill set can I develop to enhance my career?" – Peter Roper, Google Executive
Why Ask This Question?
Like it or not, most millennials are job jumpers. But this isn't always a bad thing. In fact, many experts believe that a certain amount of job-hopping early in one's career path can help a young professional earn a higher salary, find a more desirable geographic location, and determine a better cultural fit for their personality and career needs.
As a savvy tech executive, Roper is keenly aware of employment trends within his industry. "The reality is we're all going to switch jobs a lot of times during our life, and you have to have a longer term plan," he says. While having a perfectly formed idea of how you want your career trajectory to look isn't necessary, he maintains that it's helpful to have a general lay of the land regarding skills you hope to acquire. His advice?
"[Think about] it in terms of chunks of expertise and specialty that you'd like to obtain along the way is a great way to make sure that your moves are building on each other." – Peter Roper
So before you accept that cushy-sounding job in the Silicon Valley, try to visualize what that role will look like for you in the next two to three years. Determine some skills you don't have yet and would like to have when that time comes and ask yourself where you'd like those skills to take you next. For some that may mean an internal promotion to a different role, for others that may mean seeking greener pastures elsewhere. Either way, you can use Paysa to help you negotiate your salary and determine what skills you need for maximum success.
How to Map Your Career
While some people prefer things in a visible format, a career map doesn't need to be a tangible document. An interview on the topic with career coach and thought leader, John Addison, by Fast Company emphasizes that for best results, a career map should be about taking small, actionable steps every day to help you reach your goals.
In a nutshell, Addison's advice is as follows:
- Spend as much time working on yourself as on your job. Even when work is discouraging, and you're struggling to stay engaged on the job, don't let cynism get the best of you. Working on yourself and your skills can empower and energize you to keep going.
- Don't get stuck on long-term plans. When we're heads-down on the job, the idea of planning for the future can seem daunting. We may ask ourselves, "If I feel like I can't even get through this app launch how can I plan the next decade of my career?" Career mapping is about finding the middle ground between remaining effective in our day-to-day responsibilities and being strategic about the near future (two to three years for our purposes). For example, if you want to develop your leadership skills for a potential managerial role, start finding ways you can take on these responsibilities at work. This may include mentoring a junior colleague, reading materials on the topic of leadership outside of work, or even attending classes and conferences relating to it whenever you can.
- Remember you can't go it alone. Strong relationships are an asset to anyone looking to develop a successful career map. Reach out to your network and identify people who can help you build the skills you want. Think about mentors you can turn to for advice. Perhaps someone whose life or career you admire and would like to emulate in some way? These are the people you should get to know and build relationships with — not to use them for the purpose of getting ahead, but to determine what steps should be on your unique career map to get from Point A to Point B and so forth.
- Take actionable steps — every single day. If you'd like to build better organizational habits, take steps every day to make that happen. Start using a day planner or software to manage your tasks better and increase your productivity and soon you'll be a stand-out amongst your peers come promotion or raise time. It's important to brainstorm specific actions you can take to make the improvements you'd like to see. Is there a book or resource you can read? Is there someone you can talk to or solicit feedback from?
Of course, for those of us who do enjoy a little visual aide, this handy format from former Google Career Coach, Jenny Blake can be helpful for kickstarting an excellent career map.
Applying Career Mapping to the Tech Sector
For techies looking to make career mapping work for them, there may be a few quirks and nuances to consider. A great example of a tech-centric brand that has adopted career mapping for the internal development and coaching of its tech professionals is Spotify. Spotify's model clearly lays out what it expects regarding career mapping and development from all of its employees. If you are considering a job with this company, you may want to read it and then re-read it frequently to help you prep.
Tech professionals tend to be vision-oriented and data-driven. So knowing this, it's especially important to have an idea of where you want to go and what steps you can start taking now to get there. Unfortunately, most managers are not yet equipped to answer these questions for you, so you'll need to take the initiative to make the most out of your career potential. Much like salary and skills research, career mapping can increase your earning potential by helping you develop the most in-demand skills for your field and learn to be a self-advocate along the way. Career mapping can also be an opportunity to see if the role you want in the future is even available at your current company or if you'll need to change employers to get there.
If you're lucky enough to have multiple options on the table, now is the perfect time to think about your own career map to decide what's best for you and your future. Remember that while many employers have embraced internal career maps to develop their talent, it is you who ultimately owns your personal career map. Nobody will go out and find you a mentor or develop the skills you need to make your next move. The truth is that nobody will ever care about your success as much as you do, so get started today.

Sydney coach John Longmire praises Lance Franklin's pre-season
Sydney superstar Lance Franklin has had his best pre-season since arriving at the Swans, according to coach John Longmire.
Franklin was forced to sit out last year's finals series due to mental health issues and didn't return to the club until December.
But the triple Coleman medallist is in "great nick" and Longmire told SEN on Tuesday that he was confident Franklin would be able to function "quite well" with the right support network around him.
"Terrific so far," Longmire said of Franklin's pre-season. "He's done all the training, and a lot more than he's done the last couple of pre-seasons, he's doing all the competitive work and he looks in great nick at the moment. He's really enjoying it.
"Every (mental health) situation is different, everyone is an individual, obviously, and you need to treat them as such.
"Whether it's Lance or any other player or any other person, it's not an uncommon thing to happen and you need to treat it with the respect it deserves and make sure that everyone understands what's going on but also everyone can understand that you can function quite well with mental health issues. A lot of people in society deal with it every day."
On Monday, Franklin's fiancee Jesinta Campbell said she believed her partner would never "truly recover" from his mental health issues but said he was making steady progress ahead of a return to playing this season.
"I don't think you ever truly recover from a mental health issue," Campbell told the Today show. "It is really something that you battle with and challenge with every day. I think with anyone who struggles with mental health, it's a day-by-day thing; you just have to tackle the day and do the best that you can. It's hard and just because he is a sports star doesn't mean that he's bulletproof."
Meanwhile, Franklin's teammate Jarrad McVeigh is in a race against time to be fit for the first round after a knee operation late last year.
"He's taken a bit of time to get over that operation but he's running now and we don't know whether he'll be right for round one but most importantly we still expect he'll have a strong season so that's what we'll set him up for," Longmire said.
The Swans coach said a decision would be made over the next few weeks on whether McVeigh and Kieren Jack would continue as co-captains.
Sydney's list has undergone significant change over the off-season with some 1000 games of experience departing the SCG.
Premiership stars Adam Goodes, Mike Pyke and Rhyce Shaw all retired while Lewis Jetta and Craig Bird were traded to West Coast and Essendon respectively.
But Longmire had full faith in the club's younger players to make a smooth transition to the senior team.
"We've got some terrific kids coming through, we're really happy with some of the young kids that got a start over the last two years in our team," Longmire said.
"We've started this process over the last few years, that transition of younger players into the team, and that will only continue this year."
Sydney's first practice match of the year is against Port Adelaide in Blacktown on February 20.

The root system of a plant is composed of the primary, lateral and adventitious roots (ARs). Lateral roots always develop from roots, whereas ARs form from stem or leaf‐derived cells. AR formation is part of the normal development of the plant and occurs naturally, like in most monocotyledonous for which they constitute the main root system or in many dicotyledonous species that propagate vegetatively. Adventitious rooting is an essential step for vegetative propagation of economically important horticultural and woody species as it allows clonal propagation and rapid fixation of superior genotypes prior to their introduction into production or breeding programmes. Development of ARs is a complex process that is affected by multiple endogenous and environmental factors, including phytohormones; light; nutritional status; associated stress responses, such as wounding; and genetic characteristics.
Key Concepts:
ARs are the main root system for monocots.
ARs are an adaptative response to environmental changes.
ARs are required for vegetative propagation of plants.
ARs arise from any organ of the plant but the root.
ARs originate from different cell types depending on the organ or the species.
ARs can be induced by ECMs or Agrobacterium rhizogenes.
ARdevelopment is controlled by environmental factors.
Adventitious rooting is an age‐dependant process.
Auxin cross talks with other hormones to control adventitious rooting.
Adventitious rooting is a complex quantitative genetic trait.
Keywords: vegetative propagation; adventitious roots; plant hormones; biotic factors; abiotic factors

The kerosene you buy at the hardware store is grade 1-K, or "1-K kerosene." Although you can purchase 2-K kerosene, most modern kerosene appliances such as heaters, lamps and stoves require 1-K kerosene. 1-K kerosene is lower in sulphur and burns cleaner than 2-K kerosene.
1-K kerosene can be either clear or dyed red. The red dye is added to distinguish it from diesel fuel because diesel fuel requires a motor vehicle tax and kerosene does not. Red kerosene is less expensive than clear kerosene and when you buy 1-K kerosene in bulk to heat your home, you are buying red kerosene.
1-K kerosene in bulk is also known as #1 Stove Oil. 2-K kerosene is known as #2 Stove Oil.
Where to Purchase
You can purchase small quantities, like 1 or 2 gallons of 1-K kerosene, at hardware stores. To purchase 1-K kerosene in bulk, contact your local heating oil or fuel supplier.
Store 1-K kerosene in a blue plastic or metal container clearly marked KEROSENE. Do not store kerosene in a red gas can because it could be mistaken for gasoline. Unlike gasoline, kerosene is very stable in storage. If you throw a match into a pool of kerosene, the kerosene will put out the match.

He said the underlying factor was to ensure that all party members are allowed to be part of the decision to elect the party's candidates.
Ambode spoke with State House correspondents shortly after he joined others to attend a meeting of the party's national caucus at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said, "The fact remains that the constitution of our party allows us to carry out our primaries and elections, using direct or indirect primaries.
"We cannot disagree with the constitution; so, either direct or indirect primaries, you are at liberty to justify the choice you want to pick, once it suits your purpose and in line with constitution as the state determines.
"The essence is for us to deepen democracy and to also allow our members to participate in the entire process.
"The idea is, once you have party members that are able to take decisions on who should represent them, I think we would have gone a step higher and better than other parties, and that makes us a better party."

Zoltan Kovago back in the game with 67.39m
The last time Throwholics wrote about the Hungarian discus thrower Zoltan Kovago was short before the 2012 London Olympic Games. "Zoltan Kovago is the second Hungary Discus Thrower kicked out of Games !!!!". Back then Kovago did refuse to provide a drug sample for testing and was banned for 2 years right after that. Next to Zoltan Kovago also the other Hungarian Robert Fazekas was caught for the second time and banned immidiately.
On Wednesday Zoltan Kovago produced 67,39m on home ground in Szombathely. With this distance he is now ranked 3rd in the 2015 top list behind Jason Dadz Morgan (68.19m) and Christoph Harting (67.93m). After his two year ban Zoltan Kovago came back in July 2014 with a season best of 65.82m. It seems he is back on track to throw some big distances which lets space for everyone making up an own mind if he is clean or not. Throwholics at leasts hopes that, so that there might be a fight possible at the upcoming World Championships. In 2015 Zoltan Kovago threw 65.64m in April and 64.37m on the 14th of June.
