1 teaspoon
vegetable oil
onion, chopped
3 cloves
garlic, chopped
3/4 cup
1 1/2 cups
vegetable broth
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup
frozen corn kernels
2 (15 ounce) cans
black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
If I could give this six stars, I would. This satisfies ALL my requirements for a "great" recipe! Get a load of this, and I am not exaggerating: it's quick and easy, inexpensive, attractive to look at, delicious, and very very healthy. It travels AND refrigerates well and it can be eaten hot or cold. What else is there to say? I like to double the batch and bring it to work all week for lunch. Sometimes I add chopped red bell pepper to the onion and garlic saute, but that's mostly for added color and nutrition. It's also excellent just the way it is! Two thumbs up!
Agree with other reviewers that 1 can of black beans is enough. Interesting combo, but quite light. Would want this to be more flavorful, if it is to stand on its own vs. as a side dish.

This recipe was great! I served it as a side dish, but it definitely has potential to be a main course. I used one can of black beans and chicken stock because I didn't have veggie stock on hand. Next time I'll add a drained can of tomatoes with green chiles. I let my quinoa soak while I did my prep work, a total of about 10 minutes, and the quinoa came out soft and mushy (like a wet couscous). I think you can skip the soaking part for a firmer, "al dente" quinoa and that should taste fine. I think soaking for an hour would have turned it completely into mush.
This one gets five stars. We had never tried quinoa, so we weren't sure what to expect. I followed another reviewer's tip to rinse the quinoa well before cooking, and there was no bitter taste.
My changes: Added the liquid from a can of tomatoes to chicken broth to make 1-1/2 cups, added a can of Costco chicken breast, and diced a orange bell pepper I had on hand. We added grated cheddar and sour cream at the table.
The seasonings were very nice, although next time (and there WILL be a next time) I will likely add a tiny bit more cayenne pepper.
My husband really raved over this one, although he tends to be wary of new "health" foods. He was also please with how economical this recipe can be.
This is a winner!
Really good. I followed the others advise and added to the recipe. I added zucchini and tomato as well as fresh lemon juice. I used only one can of beans but I only had a half a cup of Quinoa left. We put it in tortillas with raw cabbage and avacado and it was so fresh and delish. Good for you, easy and tasty.
I'd never prepared nor eaten quinoa before (pronounced "keen-wa"; I didn't even know that!). ;) It is supposed to be very healthy & a complete protein, so I wanted to try it. This was a spicy hot dish, but not too much for us. I used olive oil instead of veg oil, and chicken broth rather than veg broth. I only used one can of black beans; two would have been too much; I'd prefer that the quinoa stand out more than the beans. We really liked this dish and I will make it again.
I used bulgur wheat instead of quinoa (I'm a poor college student and the bulgur was MUCH cheaper!) but the recipe was still fantastic!!! The spices are just right! I used 1 can of black beans and 1 can of corn , and partially cooked the bulgur before adding it to the onions and garlic. The recipe seems pretty forgiving and would probably work with a variety of grains. Delicious and healthy! Will make again!
My husband loved this! I decided at the last minute to use only one can of black beans. I put the first one in, and it seemed like another one would be overkill. I've never cooked quinoa before, but my husband has, and he says this is a great recipe. I did use the veggie broth, but may use chicken broth next time. Served with salsa chicken from this site, and they blended well together. I mixed the cooked salsa "juices" into the quinoa for a great taste experience. Also served with an avocado and sour cream. Delicious!

Looks great!! heres a pic of one that i used to have for my MGT... i didnt make it though, but yours looks pro!
Also a pic of the traxxas stampede... dont have one of my Nitro 4-tec unfortunately.MGT 5.JPGSTAMPEDE 5.JPG
If anyone is going to make one here is what I suggest;
In this pic Photo-0058.jpg the bottom rail on the side I would make lower to protect the middle of the chassis.
3/16" steel is big enough.
keep the cage over the shock towers to protect the top when you're upside down.
Leave the roof open so you can get at the battery without taking the cage off
and buy a few extra SPUR GEARS.
Thanks for the comments.
Daniel - Skid plate is good idea but my car is too low as is, maybe on Sammy's truck it would work better. Thanks

Put it on Pirate and see how long it takes for a "needs more triangulation." Nice job.
Nice looking cage!
To cut down on the weight, how would the steel hydraulic brake or fuel tubing work. I have thought about using it for a frame and roll cage for a couple free lance large scale RC cars.

He's still the boss, and Sandusky will remain the headquarters for the Cedar Fair's amusement and water parks, Cedar Fair CEO Dick Kinzel said.
While Cedar Fair's ownership is about to change, many factors will stay the same. Kinzel said he is contracted to stay on as CEO and will have an option to extend his contract if he and the new owners of the company reach an agreement for an extension.
"If I had to guess, it would probably be in March of 2013 my contract would be up," he told the Register in an exclusive interview Thursday.
Kinzel will serve as chairman of the new board of directors assembled by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, if the deal worked out with the investment firm gets final approval. Apollo has agreed
Cedar Fair's headquarters will remain in Sandusky.
"We're just a small spoke in their big wheel," Kinzel said. "This is my home, and this is the home of Cedar Fair."
On Dec. 16, Cedar Fair, the parent company of Cedar Point, announced it reached an agreement with Apollo. The New York company owns many other companies, including AMC Entertainment, Harrah's and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
Cedar Fair unitholders will be paid $11.50 for each unit. The deal is valued at about $2.4 billion, including the refinancing of about $1.6 billion in debt. It's expected to be finalized by spring 2010.
The agreement in place gives Cedar Fair 40 days during which it may consider proposals from other companies.
By Dec. 17, the first batch of documents on the agreement were posted on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Web site.
Kinzel said there would be no major cuts or staffing changes because Cedar Fair already chopped its payroll and expenses to cope with the downturn in the economy.
Employee benefits won't change either, he said.
Apollo will advise on financial matters but will leave daily operations in the hands of Kinzel and his current executive team.
The company said the merger hinges on acceptance by holders of two-thirds of Cedar Fair's outstanding units, regulatory approval and other conditions. Kinzel said unitholders will get a letter before the vote detailing specifics of the proposed transaction before the vote.
Kinzel and Peter Crage, Cedar Fair's corporate vice president of finance and chief financial officer, both said they believe people who own Cedar Fair's units will support the agreement once they learn more about it.
Cedar Fair was in talks with Apollo "for some time."
"Apollo approached us," Kinzel said. "We did not approach them."
Here's what commenters had to say:
Costanza wrote on Dec 19, 2009 8:25 AM:
" Can't imagine Apollo would be dumb enough to keep Kinzel on in any capacity. He was directly responsible for the fall of Cedar Fair. It had nothing to do with economy. It was all bad decisions that trail back 6 years that casused the collapse of Cedar Fair. And he is still making stuuppid decisions. Taking a dud ride from one park to another? Why would you do that? He just threw away a couple million to move this ride for what? There was not ROI on this one. But again, the board of directors just sit there like puppets and shake their heads the way Kinzel wants them to and the public intrest is not protected again. A hand picked board of directors leads to hand picked problems and I learned that first hand. I lost 48% of my nest egg. I may have to go back to work in a few years if I cannot find a real stock to invest in. Thanks for the ride down the toilet Kinzel. "

" Officers of public corps often sell co. stock in order to rebalance their personal financial portfolio; it's called diversification. They must announce it to the SEC before they attempt to sell it.
Keeping all of one's eggs in one basket is very risky. Look at Enron as one example.
Only a financial ignoramus would keep 100% of their retirement money in the stock of the same co. for which they worked. If the co. goes bust, they'd lose their life savings plus their job.
AGM keeping the current mgmt. on the job for the time being is an acceptable business practice. The new owners don't know the industry or have the business contacts – it falls under the category of 'good will.'
Perhaps part of the deal was that Cedar Fair's HQ remain in Sandusky?
AGM isn't about to pay $700 million and incur $1.6 billion in debt just to destroy the co.
Know this: Six Flags filed for bankruptcy earlier this yr. and they have yet to emerge.
Based on the limited financials that I've read, I believe that (FUN) had little choice but to sell or file for bankruptcy.
Since AGM owns Harrah's, many of you may get your wish and see gaming come to Sandusky.
Think temporary construction jobs and numerous permanent jobs.
Look at the potential positives and not the gloom and doom. "

" How can Kinzel say that Cedar Fair will remain in Sandusky unless he has inside knowledge as to the agreement made. I can't imagine Sandusky without Cedar Point. I am truly devasted by the news as most of my life savings are with Cedar Fair. I believed in this company and am sick at the amount of money I will lose. What a spin on numbers. To say $11.50 for each unit is a 28 percent premium over the $9.08 price when trading closed Wednesday simply doesn't show that for years the stock was $25 a share. Wow, what a loss.
Please no condescending, I told you so responses as I simply can't take that. What a loss for those of us who believed. "

" See this is what most people do not understand. Kinzel is pretty clueless. He has held Cedar Fair back and should have stepped down long before he first said he was going to. His outdated policies and beliefs hindered the company and its stock.
Now for him to make this false promise proves just how clueless he is.
I know that many people out there worship Kinzel like he is some sort of de-facto god, but to be honest he is just a guy that got lucky "

" How the heck does he know where the headquarters will be.....he'll be gone. The new owner will come in and clean up the top 5 jokers. Then they will clean up the Markenting department for obvious reasons. And then they will put in their own finance department. All others will have to prove their worth in order for them to stay. So for Kinzel to make a comment like that reminds me of another comment I can remember...."read my lips".....ha ha ha ha ha ha. "

It is their money and their company. "

" I didn't read the story (don't have the online version) but his comments concern Cedar Fair before the sale, right? Cause when the new owner takes over it won't necessarily be "Cedar Fair" plus it'll be up to the new owner where they want the headquarters to be.
Someone correct me on this. "

" Sure, Kinzel is happy, he sold all of his stock last Spring. The rest of us believed he would try to get the stock price up for the stockholders. Instead, he let it fall to make the Company more attractive to a potential buyer. Poor management? I think so. "

* required fields
A spirited Western Force had ended its season on a high defeating the University of Canberra Brumbies on Saturday 21-15.
Heavy rain and greasy Perth conditions did not help the University of Canberra Brumbies but in the end it was their own errors which cost them the match. If anything the score-line flattered the Brumbies who made 17 handling errors throughout the match.
Kicks sailed out on the full, passes didn't stick and the Brumbies paid the price.
Despite the loss the Brumbies still managed to claim the Australian Conference title for the first time, finishing the competition with 60 points, two ahead of the Reds back on 58 with all competition games played.
Head Coach Jake White said if you have to lose this was the week to do it with no second chances from here on in.
"We're probably guilty of thinking about next week, we're just lucky that this loss came this week when we are still in with a shot," White said.
"It was never going to be a situation where we just showed up and took the points and that perhaps is how we approached this game. We know we've played a lot of good rugby this year, we can't be worried about this denting our confidence.
"We're at home in front of our home crowd and we have no reason to drop our heads. There are only six teams that can win the competition now and we're one of them."
The game started with the Brumbies on the back foot as the kickoff sailed into touch on the full. From there things went from bad to worse as the Force crossed for two tried before halftime.
Heading to the sheds 14-3 down at halftime, the Brumbies needed to rally early in the second half. But a third try to former Brumbies Academy member Junior Rasolea pushed the score-line out of the visitor's reach.
Tevita Kuridrani and Scott Fardy got the Brumbies back in with a sniff at 15-21, but the Force regained control of the match and were unlucky not to capitalise on more scoring opportunities late in the match.
Force 21 (Matt Hodgson, Junior Rasolea, Ben McCalman tries; Jayden Hayward 3 cons) bt University of Canberra Brumbies 15 (Tevita Kuridrani, Scott Fardy tries; Christian Lealiifano 1 con; 1 pen) at nib Stadium, Perth. Referee:

Enlarge / Alternate Images
We have several different face rests in my office. This one is by far my favorite. We have the other earthlite cradle that has many pads for micro adjustments, but the Velcro looses it's stick and so eventually the cushion won't stay on. This one is less expensive and better quality.
I got this about 4 yrs. ago, and I'm extremely careful with my table and accessories. After about a year of light use, this started cracking where the screws attach from the top of the actual face cradle- as seen in the picture. I'm really disappointed as this was a decent face cradle, but it just doesn't seem worth the money to replace it with another one. Also, it doesn't flex as easily as the picture shows. In fact, it really doesn't flex much at all. I'd have to say that this is probably how it cracked at the screw points. :-(
Well worth it! Clients have less sinus stuffiness. I have the freedom to work on the cervical spine with more pressure without causing discomfort to the client. Tried for myself and found the massage more bearable as I was able to breath after the first half hour lying face down. Highly recommend for therapist with clients having sinus issues.
So far, works great, I wonder how long it will last with plastic gear parts. That's why I had to replace what I had, the plastic gears started slipping.
I am a travel therapist as well as work for a spa. This is the face cradle I have for my personal business. The cradle locks and never slips. It is sturdy, and it does fit my non-Earthlite table. Make sure to measure your holes. If the clients nose is hitting the bridge, slide the cushion down a bit on the frame. It is not a thick cushion, but my clients like it. It easily raises and lowers, and also fits wooly and face cradle cover well. I was looking for a replacement for my seven year old face cradle (also an Earthlite cradle) and am happy with this.

The Danger of Celebrity Endorsements of Brands
Paying celebrities to endorse a brand is dangerous territory. This isn't a new revelation, but brands still shell out massive amounts of money to have the "it" celebrity of the moment appear in ads and say how great the brand is.
The latest celebrity brand endorsement gone wrong story (Lance Armstrong admitting to Oprah Winfrey that he used doping to win all of his Tour de France titles) reminds us once again how risky it is to pay to attach a celebrity name to a brand name.
The list of celebrity endorsements of brands that have gone terribly wrong for the brands is long. Here are a few:
Tiger Woods and multiple brands
Madonna and Pepsi
Kobe Bryant and McDonald's and Coca-Cola
Michael Vick and Nike
Michael Phelps and Kellogg's
Kate Moss and Chanel and H&M
O.J. Simpson and Hertz
Mar 17 2013: Professor Robert Cialdini wrote two books on influence. They should be easy to find in a library. References show up every now on the internet. The one that got me was a take-away. At least we know that the celebs are getting paid. There was a TED talk recently where a Rapper portrays a character who killed someone for a pair of Air Jordans. I am not sure if your use of danger is the right word, but salesman are very aware of manipulation techniques.
Mar 17 2013: thanks GL , sir , i am really looking forward to get these 2 books by Professor Robert Cialdini ..
and can you please send me link to the Ted talk that you are talking about ..Mar 16 2013: honestly, i could not care less if a corporation loses some sales. why would i care about that? i think there are two stupids in this situations. one stupid is of course corporations not caring about the future, and taking too much risk focusing their ad campaigns on stars that tend to end up in jail, detox or morgue after taking one too many dose of some drug. but as i said, for all i care, they can go bankrupt, and i won't even bother reading the article about it.
the second stupid is the customer. if you buy a product because of some celebrity appeared in a tv spot, you are as dumb as it gets. if you are not grown up enough to make decisions for yourself, you are hopeless, and deserve to buy crap. but this is important. we are all affected by this stupid consumer behavior, so it does worth calling attention to it.
Mar 17 2013: hey , KP , sir what i think is that , if such is the case then , brands should take celebs of good social image , and at the same time it makes sense , as in cricket goods should have cricket players as their brand face , it happens when it does not make sense , cricket player endrosing football goods company ..
Mar 17 2013: "should" in the sense that this is your recommendation. not in the sense that this is the absolute right thing to do, and especially not in the sense that it is moral. choosing britney spears as your celeb icon is a risk, and if a company is willing to take that risk, in the worst case, it is an error. error is okay.Mar 16 2013: A good alternative to this kind of advertising campaigns , can be introducing the use of the product, look at Apple ads or Surface ads for example. it's about the product not who famous using it.
Tarun Mahani
Mar 16 2013: definitely thumbs up for you , if the product is high quality , then it will speak for itself , it also does not need advertisement , and it does not matter who is endrosing the brand , as it does not matter anymore but my friend , apple is a too big brand , what about the new brands that no one knows , it definitely needs fame , and has to work a lot , to become a word of mouth , and it is here endrosements by big personality helps ..Mar 16 2013: Professor Robert Cialdini tells us that this is a technique that can be very helpful in selling our products. He is often discussed in introductory psychology courses. This pscychologist has written two books for the public.

Tarun Mahani
Mar 16 2013: GL , sir can you please ellaborate the psychological points or tell more the books ...

greg dahlen
Mar 16 2013: Tarun, I tend to think celebrity endorsements are not terribly risky for big companies. I think when an individual celebrity does something bad, we don't blame the corporation, we blame the individual celebrity. For example, when Kobe was accused of rape, I did not blame McDonalds or CocaCola, after all, it would have been very difficult for them to know that would happen. None of us foresaw that.
- +1
Mar 16 2013: hey , GD , i completely agree that big companies are always on the safe side , and to them publicity does not matter , even if they don't advertise , thier products will be sold coz they have earned people's heart and that is why they are big brands and also the celebs personal life does not have any effect on the comapanies sales or image ..Mar 15 2013: I am from the Caribbean, a colonised island meaning what I have to say is from a colonial perspective with all the policies including education administered by the sons and daughters indentured labourers and slaves.
The colonial masters were the bosses living in complete luxary profitably.
Why would you buy tinned meat from when fresh meat is available?
Why would you buy Canadian sardines when you buy fresh sardines caught in Caribbean waters.
Why would you wear 100% wollen garments when cotton is grown in the Caribbean.
Why did the Hindu indentured labourers tried to intrroduch the caste system in the Caribbean?
Why would you buy bleaching cream to apply on you skin when living in a tropical country?
Why straighten your hair when you are born with natural curley hair?
Why the sons and daughters of the labourers brought to the Caribbean are now the ruling class living in complete luxary and their fellow comrades are living in poverty?
Why do the influential labourers steal and the money to send it to the colonial masters country?
Why do the politicians preach the "Master Day is Over" but move millions to the Masters banks all over Europe including Canada?
Do you know of any school teching "how to use money science" like domestic science?
Do you know of any school teaching "how to buy stocks and shares" at a elementry level?
Do you know how to trade gold and diamonds?
The poor aspire for it to prove what?
Where the source of poverty starts, it is within your grasp today to rectify poverty.
Not during my time.
Mar 16 2013: Super likes , sir , the questions that you have put forward , these are actually the core of the whole idea , means if the people are educated enough and if they think in this regard , there will be no need to have brands or endrosements either and the price of goods will become less on its own ..Mar 15 2013: I managed first hand experience of a major sneakers company manufacturing in a poor country exhibiting its merchandise in New York and finally selling back to the poor, must have mentality.
Schools do not teach children how to use money, merchandising is simply there to make you spend not save, and some schools are there to prepare children to know their place. I attended one of them, my teacher is now deceased, his name was Madhosingh, and the assistant Phekoo.
These people help programme some children to be inferior although we were all colonials and the sons and daughters of indentured labourers and slaves.
Mar 16 2013: MD , thank you sir , for your valueable info , its really gonna help , i cannot believe its still happening in india , as in schools teaching the ethics of rich and poor , can you please , where do you live and which schools have you attended so far ..Mar 15 2013: This situation took a long time to be programmed especially for the poor, the main consumers of expensive attachments.
It is the poor who created poverty, the rich who was once poor understood poverty and did evolve in complete secrecy.
Mar 15 2013: Hey , MD , sir , hereby i want to state that why would the poor be the consumers of expensive brands , and why is it so that poor create poverty , it was hard for me to digest , and how did the rich who were poor earlier evolved , could you please elaborate ..Mar 15 2013: People shouldn't idealize celebrities
Once they didn't appreciate celebrities themselves and appreciate their works instead, This problem will be solved automatically.
Mar 15 2013: hey , FSN , but generally it is seen that big brands are endrosed by big stars and people tend to follow them , actually people idealize the celebs , that why the brand owners pay huge sum to them , and it is tested and proved that if big names are involved with your brand , its sales is surely gonna inc. Generally the people trust their idols and mix their work with their social personality ..
Mar 15 2013: Therefore, I think we should move from this kind of behavior and people need to think of them as one of them not their idols.
Mar 16 2013: FSN , look sir , its not about me or you , look at the companies point of view , still people are influenced by the stars , so they have to pay them a huge sum , inorder to compensate sales , so what could be other alternates , as in sales should not suffer ..
greg dahlen
Mar 15 2013: So what is your debate? Are you saying companies shouldn't pay celebrities to endorse brands? Perhaps they are willing to take the risk, maybe it works out more often than not.
- +1
Mar 15 2013: hey , GD , actually the debate is regarding " is the celebrity endrosement risky for the brands owners " , means does it favours the brands or goes against them ..Mar 15 2013: Cialdini tells us why we would pay for celebrity endorsements of our products. As consumers we might want to read his books and watch out for people using certain sales techniques.
Mar 15 2013: hey , GL , did you meant that coz that person is famous for his books or acting , he could like actually help in improving the image of brand he endroses or inc the sales ..Mar 15 2013: I'll just take one as a example. Tiger Woods. It has been proven beyond a doubt that Tiger Woods has no morals, ethics, or honor, but that does not make the product he endorsed either good or bad ...
Kobe Bryant did all of the same unethical dishonable things that Tiger did but yet Mac D and Coke want him to be the face of their product ... Poor choice ... on a personal level .. probally. On a corporate level .... the only question is ... Did sales go up or down ... did we get our moneys worth in hiring him?
So here it is ... according to Bob. If you buy the product because of the face on the carton then you deserve what you get. If the product is good and you know it then the face on the ad makes no difference.
The danger as I see it is that companies / politicians can sell you the koolade and you develop a taste for it. If you are a sheeple incapable of thought .... you will ignore this and vote and buy the way someone else tells you.
Time to put on your big boy pants and think for yourself.
I wish you well. Bob.
Mar 15 2013: hey , RW , so you say that it does not matter that celebrity is good or bad , companies are only concerned about their dividents and social personality of celeb does not effects the brands or products he is endrosing ..
Mar 15 2013: Yep, Say they put my photo on a box of a popular cereal. They will not change the formula for making the cereal ... it is good and people still buy it.
A new perfume comes out and they put a picture of Gaga on the box ... Gaga fans buy it up ... it stinks .... sales will go down.
Say you love XYZ chocolate and they put a photo of John on the wrapper ... You hate John but love the brand ... do you stop buying it. Probally not.
Just because you wear Air Jordan's will not make you a all pro player. Stand in the garage all day you are still not a car.
You know what you like and what works .... did the face make you buy it .... no! You bought it because of the quality and cost ... the consumers bottom line.
All the best. Bob.
Mar 16 2013: Rb , but sir you quoted in your second example of lady gaga , that if we put the picture on a box , then fans will buy , no matter it stinks , so actually this example goes against the whole concept of the cost or quality , its is in favour of celebrity endrosements and proves it right for the brands to give them money ..Mar 16 2013: True if you consider a one time buy by her fans a marketing success. One spike in declining sales is not success by any measurement.
Mar 16 2013: ok , i also think the same that your idol can make you buy something once , and if the quality is not up to the mark , you will not definitely not buy it again .
i have a point to raise , that there are 2 products , 1 is with good quality and 2 is a litlte less quality but is advertised by your favourite celeb , which one you will buy , if the prices are same ..Mar 16 2013: The picture on the box does not influence me .... I buy based on Taste, quality, and cost. I f one product is 12 cents per ounce and another is 14 cents per ounce I will almost always go for the 12 if I know the quality is close.
Asperine is a good example. It is either asperine or not it is either buffered or not to pay a lot for a brand name is silly. Buy the generic every time .... in this case buying for the picture would be really dumb.
Mar 17 2013: hmm , RW , sir in that case , i think that there is a need to increase awareness from the brand itself , about their product and quality , rather than paying money for advertisement , so now the product would be cheaper as less money is put into add campaign , and that money is now used to improve quality further , but still there is a point , of how practically , make this less advertised product popular among masses , so you get what i am trying to say ..Mar 17 2013: Tarun, Say I come to Chandigarh for the Rose Festival and ask where to eat ... you may say Baithak Kalagram or Pomodoro ( but you should have reservations). I might say no I want food from the South and you tell me Sundarams is the best in town.
If I say who has the best Aaloo Paratha you would smile and say I will take you .... because we cannot deny the favorite of the people of Northern India.
My point is. We find the very best by asking someone. The best advertisement of a product is by word of mouth.
Do you go to a resturant because a big picture of Rajesh Khanna said to? Nope.
I wish you well. BobApr 11 2013: Interesting. I am writing a dissertation on Celebrity Activism: Who ultimately benefits the celebrity or the cause? What are your thoughts on celebrities being affiliated with cause related organisations or campaigns? I feel that there is more 'danger' there as these organisations do not have the funds or the resources to do the same kind of crisis management that a corporation would if the celebrity that it is associated with take a wrong step.Mar 17 2013: I am from the West Indies, not well educated because the East Indians from India assisted the British by being the middlle administrators.
The Canadian Mission helped educate the majority of us to a secondary level in special schools, however the East Indians with the resources managed to use the poor sent their kids to college and duing my time to England.
Their children returned and were the new masters when the British left and is in control today.
The African man introduced an easier way to gain higher education in my country, the majority of East Indians grabbed the oppurtuinty.
Do not get fooled my acedemics, since knowledge gained through the intellect is not always knowledge of true reality.
In India today you have child labour, and a fully functional caste system steep in disrespect for women. East Indians leaving India tried to introduce the caste system in the country I came from, fortunately some African men and women proved them wrong.
The low caste Hindus of yesterday and now the multi TT dollar holders today.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Hey all, I just won a westside sword (VIP plastic) in a CTP and was wondering if anyone else has had a chance to throw them and what you thought. I only had a chance to throw it once and it seemed to fly completely straight from start to finnish... I mean finish. ;-)
ALSO... I saw on the westside site that they stamped english and finnish versions of their discs. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the finnish copies. I think that'd be way cooler for some reason.

The King is pretty sweet, great anhyzer disc when throwing forehand and stable when backhanding. We have a bunch of them in stock and ready to ship; and we're having a SALE too:

Rwanda might be one of Africa's smallest nations but not only does it pack in plenty of excellent wildlife destinations ranging from montane rainforests to grassy savannahs, but its modest size means that getting between places of interest is relatively quick and simple.
The capital city of Kigali is the country's entry and exit point for gorilla trekking. You'll fly in from East Africa's logistics hubs such as Entebbe or Nairobi and, depending on your itinerary, will either transfer straight to the Volcanoes National Park or overnight in this compact, vibrant and safe city.
Read more about a Kigali safari.
View all Kigali accommodation.
Gorilla trekking is the region's unrivalled main attraction and the Volcanoes National Park is where to go in Rwanda to do it. Its mountainous terrain and dense forests make for tough walking conditions but the rewards are matchless: butterflies, birds and primates, headlined of course by families of habituated mountain gorillas.

Protecting the largest single tract of montane forest in East or Central Africa, Nyungwe is the best reason to further explore Rwanda after your gorilla trek. A magnificent rainforest full of birds, butterflies and orchids, the stars of the show are the 13 species of primate - including chimpanzees - that make the park their home.
Located in low lying eastern Rwanda, Akagera is where the tropical forests of Central Africa give way to the dry savannahs of East Africa. An appealing mix of wetlands and rolling wooded grasslands, Akagera National Park is where to go in Rwanda for the chance to spot classic African animals including elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, leopard and many antelope species.
At a Glance
Small it may be but Rwanda delivers Africa's easiest and most accessible mountain gorilla trekking. Combine it with a safari in East Africa for the ultimate wildlife holiday.

Naomi Watts Gossip
Naomi Watts gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Naomi Watts: defending the middle part
Wenn, Jeffrey Mayer/ Todd Williamson Archive/ Carlo Allegri/ : Antonio de Moraes Barros Filho/ Getty Images
Naomi Watts in Paris for Armani Prive. Her hair. Freshly lightened? Or does it just seem that way because she's wearing white? Whatever the reason it looks incredible. Am also obsessed with how it's been styled. You know what the difference is? The middle part. Before we start arguing about the middle part, please see below and browse through a selection of photos of Naomi with her regular side part and on the few occasions she's chosen a middle part. Full Story
Cannes Opening Oscars

Three recent Oscar winners were at the Palais tonight for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival: Lupita Nyong'o Natalie Portman Julianne Moore What do you wear on a Cannes carpet? Think of it like the Oscars… tweaked Euro. There is no such thing as too much. So Julianne's deep cut, feathers, and sparkles? Perfect. Full Story
Smutty Roundup: Vintage Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn, Reese & Naomi
Wenn, FameFlynet
I can't wait for new Brad Pitt photos to talk about this. Annie sent this over to me the other day. It's an old interview with Brad Pitt. Like, OLD. And he's fresh in Hollywood. Working on Dallas. And faking a relationship with a co-star…which they readily admit to for a news crew! Almost 30 years ago, Brad Pitt spoke with a very boyish, gentle, innocent voice. Full Story
Benedict's Oscar kisses

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter hit up the Vanity Fair party after the show. And maybe the photographer there asked for a kiss. And maybe Benedict obliged. And decided he would kiss AND close his eyes at the same time. Not a move I generally endorse. This is doesn't qualify as an exception either. Full Story
Naomi Watts: Club Girl at the Oscars

This was a polarising look at the etalk Oscars viewing party. Half the room hated it. Half the room loved it. I was on the pro side… But I can see the point of the con side. It's a dress for the Club Girl. This is how you dress in Vegas when you're hoping to scam table service off of a group of douchebag insurance conventioners who've taken their wedding rings off for the weekend. Full Story
Smutty Roundup: More for Jake, none for Joaquin, and Naomi pre-Globes

Jake Gyllenhaal was photographed walking his dog in New York yesterday. Today he was nominated for a BAFTA for his performance in Nightcrawler. So that's Golden Globe, SAG, Critics Choice, and now BAFTA. He just has one left. Jake's co-star and rumoured girlfriend, Ruth Wilson, is also heading to the Globes this weekend. Full Story
Jake & Naomi, Jake & Lucy
FameFlynet, Splash, Robin Marchant/ Getty
But no Jake & Rachel…at least not yet. A thoughtful Jake Gyllenhaal was working on Demolition at Coney Island yesterday shooting some scenes on his own before frolicking on the beach with co-star Naomi Watts. God he is handsome. And even though I know f-ck all about superheroes, I agree with Sarah's wish-list for Dr Strange now that Joaquin Phoenix has dropped out. Full Story
Handsome Jake eats alone
AKM-GSI /Splash
Jake Gyllenhaal looked very handsome shooting a new film called Demolition at JFK airport in New York today. Jakey plays an investment banker so, I imagine, the wardrobe calls for no thick facial hair and really good clothes: a beautiful sweater, great pants, good shoes… Mostly though, I just like staring at his face. Full Story
Naomi Watts and…
The caption for these photos told me that Naomi Watts went out for lunch with Tia Carrere yesterday. And I was really, really excited. Because…random! And Tia Carrere! Then I actually looked at the pictures. This is what Tia Carrere actually looks like. Here's a shot of her at the Grammys a couple of weeks ago: Full Story
Diana's bad reviews
Wenn, FameFlynet
You should read some of the reviews for Diana. They're brutal. Here's a sample: "Poor Princess Diana. I hesitate to use the term "car crash cinema". But the awful truth is that, 16 years after that terrible day in 1997, she has died another awful death. Full Story
Diana's made for TV
Most people shat on the teaser for the Naomi Watts Diana movie when it released a few weeks ago. I actually liked it for the imagery, those indelible visuals that evoke the specifics of her life. Click here for a refresher. The first full trailer is now available. Full Story
Diana, Naomi, sob!
A teaser trailer for the upcoming Diana starring Naomi Watts has been released. It's so obvious what they're trying to do here. With the piano and the familiar imagery... And still... It works. Because we are SO familiar with that imagery. All it takes is a hairstyle. Or a dress. Full Story
Liev Schreiber: on Naomi, marriage, and kids
KAMINSKI/ Splash
Vulture just posted a really good interview with Liev Schreiber. Why good? It's candid. Liev is currently promoting his now Showtime series, Ray Donovan, premiering on June 30. He speaks honestly about why he was initially averse to doing television again -- because he gets bored playing the same role over and over again -- and what it was about this particular character that changed his mind. Full Story
Oscars Best Dressed Tie: Naomi & Charlize
Jason Merritt/ Michael Buckner/ Frazer Harrison/ Christopher Polk/ Getty
There was a tie at the Oscars last night, so why not a tie here, for Best Dressed? Both were great, but we each liked one more than the other. So instead of fighting about it, and inspired by the awards show, we decided to share. Duana's Best Dressed Overall: Naomi Watts She gets it. Naomi Watts gets the crown. Full Story
