As an author and a Christian, my purpose in writing was to create a clean, fun, flirty chick lit book that would appeal to both religious and non-religious audiences. I wanted my books to be realistic to life, but not to have excessive bad language, explicit sex scenes or too anything crude or vulgar. At the same time, I knew it couldn't be a book that was all butterflies and roses. Life does not have people walking around saying "darn" and smiling in every situation. So, I wrote my books. I made them as clean as I could, but still realistic. Words like "crap" and "freaking" are words that I occasionally use and do not find offensive. Basically I kept everything PG according to my moral code.
Then the reviews started coming. There are three types of reviews, for those who aren't familiar with it. The majority were super positive (which I love!). There were a few super negative (which make me cry. Seriously), and then here and there a couple of the blah in between reviews where they say "It was a good book, but meh." Now, here's where this gets interesting. The negative reviews I received were written by both religious and non-religous people. The religious people expected the book to be more Christian-ish. They didn't like the border-line crude language in parts, nor the implication that one of the secondary characters in my Hollywood novel was gay. They felt that I should have made the main character a religious zealot in every word and thought. On the other hand, the non-religious commentors wanted the book to be more "Fifty Shades of Grey". They wanted the characters to do more than make out. They wanted a book like hundreds of other romance novels out there.
I read these reviews and felt conflicted. Was I right in my purpose? I wrote a clean, fun, flirty book that alot of people, regardless of their religious views, love. But why then were there a few people that strongly disliked it?
It took a little while, but finally I had an epiphany... I cannot please everyone. Simple. As much as I want to be the most beloved author in the world, that is impossible. Even authors who have sold millions of copies of their novels, like Stephenie Meyers, Sophie Kinsella or J.K Rowling, have received negative reviews... I know... I looked them up on Amazon! There are some downright hateful things people have written to these authors that I really respect.
So what's the moral of this story? Write your book. Figure out who you want your audience to be. And then be proud. You created something that nobody else could have created!
As President Roosevelt said, "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Have a postive day, all!

text: First of all I would just like to say "HI!" and say that I have been reading the forum a lot lately for info on my new Droid, but have run into a bit of a problem. The problem is that I rooted my phone earlier tonight and did some simple things like overclocking and installed root explorer and all that good stuff. I was reading the forum on what people did now that they rooted their phones and thought that changing the font of the clock would be cool. So I copied the font to my computer and supplanted the one I wanted on my SD card. The problem is that I accidentally deleted the original font thinking that I was just going to paste the new font in the directory with the same name. Needless to say the paste function did not work because I did not simply rename the existing font to just disable it instead of deleting it. After paste wouldn't work, I tried restarting my device and found that it entered an "infinite loop" of restarts. The only thing that I was able to do was to do a wipe of the phone to factory settings, but the font still doesn't appear to be there because the clock font on the lock screen is different, however with this method I am able to actually keep the phone on. I tried re-rooting it, and even tried getting the actual non-root 2.0.1 version of the firmware and manually doing that, but all of these things result in the infinite loop problem. I also note that the "SuperUser Permissions" app is still installed and that the phone must be rooted in order to remove that. I only want to make things normal again, re-root it, and be more careful next time I do any mods (I'm usually very good with things like this, I swear!) to the phone. Any suggestions? Thanks everyone for your help in advance! I hope to be as helpful once I get back up and running as you all have been to me so far!

In Summary
- President Museveni on March 4 fired Gen Kayihura as Inspector General of Police and elevated his deputy Okoth Ochola to succeed him.
Former Inspector General of Police Gen Kale Kayihura and undisclosed number of his associates have been arrested by the military. Gen Kayihura was arrested at his country home in Katebe village, Kashagama sub-county Lyantonde district a few hours ago. He was flown to Kampala in an army helicopter for further interrogation. It's not yet clear where he is being detained now.
On Tuesday, UPDF soldiers raided Courtyard International Hotel in Lyantonde town where Gen Kayihura had been a regular client. The hotel was searched but Kayihura was not there.

Military officers flew the helicopter to his home in Kashagama on Tuesday evening but did not find him there either. The chopper left but returned to his home today and picked him.
The army spokesman Brig Richard Karemire confirmed the incident.
"Yesterday he [Kayihura] was asked to report to the UPDF Chief of Defence Forces Gen David Muhoozi at General Headquarters Mbuya. A helicopter was subsequently dispatched to transport him [from his home] but on arrival Gen Kale had travelled to Mbarara… Today the helicopter was sent back to Kashagama and has returned safely to Kampala with him on board," Brig Karemire said in a statement.

Regarding mushroom production, what impact does it have on use of village residues, and what happens to the spent straw? One community exhausted its straw supply in three months. The spent straw was decomposed to the extent of about 40 per cent, and it was recommended that it be composed. Its possible use for biogas production is now being studied.
Spent straw has not been used as feed for ruminants, but residual mycelium can be extracted with coconut water and used as a food. In India, preliminary results on using spent straw as a ruminant feed are promising

Ireland has been declared one of the best countries to be born in according to The Economist.
A new survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has ranked Ireland 12th among 80 other countries in terms of the life chances of babies born in 2013.
Despite the terrible weather, recession, and Irish people emigrating to countries such as Australia and America, the EIU rated Ireland ahead of Germany (joint 16th) and France (26th). Ireland was ranked 15 spots ahead of the UK (27th) and ranked above the US (joint 16th).
Ireland is rated behind Australia (2nd), New Zealand (7th) and Canada (9th), other favourite destinations for the current generation of Irish emigrants.
According to the survey, Switzerland is said to have a reputation for being the most dull place, but also the best country in the world to be born in.

The EIU used 11 different tools to rank the 80 countries. Prosperity, both present and projected, was the main indicator. Other criteria included life expectancy, quality of family life, trust in public institutions, health, education, crime and contentment as measured in personal satisfaction surveys.
Ireland still rates high in levels of reported satisfaction, but understandably low in terms of climate.
The EIU survey is similar to the one carried out by the Economist magazine, which found Ireland to be the best country to live in back in 2004.
The survey differs in its attempts to measure what life will be like for a child born in 2013 who enters adult life in 2030.
According to the Irish Times, the regional director of the EIU and one of the authors of the survey, Laza Kekic, said the results showed smaller countries are better to live in than big countries.
"There seems to be a positive small country effect," he said. "Many of the large countries fall down on things like health, life expectancy, while quality of family and community life are not great," he said, citing the examples of the US and the UK, which have high divorce rates.

Mr Kekic said Ireland retained many of its strengths, most notably family and social cohesion, while remaining a prosperous country relatively speaking.
He added: "I've been asked why Ireland is so high in views of all these troubles, but you have to keep things in perspective."
"When you look at the profile of Ireland and its general economic wealth despite the crisis, it is relatively well placed."

If you've lived in the United States for any substantial period of time, you've probably seen an air quality alert warning come across on your local TV or Radio station.
But, do you know what an air quality alert actually means?
Every day, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors the air quality throughout the U.S. and reports it online at AirNow.gov. This data is then used to alert you on how dangerous the air around you can be to your health.
To make it easy for you to determine how bad the air quality is in your location, the EPA developed a color coded system that relates to pollution levels.
- Green – means the air is good quality
- Yellow – means that the level is moderate quality and starting to get polluted
- Orange – means that the air is very dangerous to breathe, especially for people with respiratory issues, including asthma and the elderly
- Red – means the air quality is becoming dangers for everyone
- Purple – means that the air quality is extremely hazardous for all groups and it's best to stay in doors as much as possible
There are two things that contribute to harmful air pollution and impact the level of an air quality alert.
- Ground-level Ozone – High levels are the most frequent cause of air quality alerts. It's created by vehicle exhaust emissions and industrial fumes, as well as chemical reaction of Nitrogen and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight.
- Particulate Matter – This consists of pollutants such as soot, ash, smoke and dust. Often it's caused by chemical processes or the burning of fossil fuels.
An Orange or red alert day are usually the most common color codes you'll see in your local area. Often a green or yellow alert is not reported since it doesn't make much in the way of news. A purple alert is very rare, but has occurred in extreme environmental pollution cases.
Here are just a few recent reports of bad air quality levels around the U.S.
- Louisville, Kentucky (Orange)
- Birmingham, Alabama (Orange)
- Charlotte, North Carolina (Red)
- Arkansas (Red)
- Atlanta, Georgia (Purple)
If you're located in an area that has an orange, red or purple alert, the best thing you can do is to stay inside and shut all windows and doors. This will help prevent any airborne pollution from entering into this area.
If you're especially sensitive to airborne contaminants, or just want to ensure that air within your home is not polluted, adding an air purifier can help. To find out which air cleaning device is best suited for your needs, take a look at the many free air purifier guides on our website.

Emars Is Closed?
I could not believe it; one of the beach hotels here in town is now closed. I just knew it recently and it was because of some permits. Sigh, I just visited the place twice and I am planning to go back there again on my daughter's birthday, we are planning to hold her birthday there but maybe I have to look for another place for the event. I am not sure if Paradise would be okay for all of our friends in the pool, now I am having a hard time.

I'd made a 6:30 reservation so we arrived early enough to enjoy a bit of daylight as the water roared over the rocks and I quickly captured this image with my phone. I wished we'd been a bit earlier so I could just watch, listen and maybe set up a more careful and thoughtful photo. I just want to return in all seasons and take this one.
We were greeted quite promptly and once our reservation was confirmed (I recommend making a reservation - and if you want to sit by the windows - ask) we were seated in this area.
Sleek, minimalist, modern - yet somehow warm. We took in our surroundings for a few minutes until we were approached by our server, and placed our drink orders. An extensive cocktail, beer and wine menu is available.
I often do a bit of research before bringing the Mr. and on this trip, our younger son, to a new place and will send them links to the restaurant. However, I was not aware that Roundhouse would be serving their HVRW menu exclusively. This made for limited options for my husband and to be honest, he was a bit disappointed. I felt as if I misrepresented the restaurant, but hope he will opt to go back another time and try whatever dish he had in mind.
So, he needed a few extra minutes to decide. Our typical game plan includes ordering different dishes so I can taste everything, but keep in mind, this is not a hard/fast rule. So, here is how it went:
The Mr. selected the salad. I know the main feature for him was the proscuitto. I'm also sure this is not what he envisioned though it was delicious.
I was ridiculously excited to try the sauteed octopus and this dish met, no exceeded, my expectations. Braised octopus. Chorizo. White bean puree. The octopus itself was firm and dense - somehow I worried it would be chewy or rubbery, but it was more steak-like. I loved it on it's own as well as swirled through the white bean puree. I shared a piece with the Mr. who nodded in agreement. I then allowed him a bit of the chorizo. Oh, my. It was amazing. Please note* - the octopus starter is also available on the regular menu, so go, call, make a reservation now.
When you are a young 20-something male, beer and clams seems like a logical choice and our younger son was not disappointed. The bowl was filled with tender, juicy clams and accompanied by 2 slices of toast. We each sampled a clam and I even was allowed a bite of bread that had soaked up some of the magical briny broth.
The drawback to eating dinner with me when I am excited and at a restaurant I have been dreaming of going to is that I lose any ability to remain calm or cool. I am in full blown tourist mode. I want to see everything, touch it, smell it, sample it, check it out and yes, photograph it. Our table is not next to the windows so when one is vacated, I try to not attract any attention as I walk over and talk a picture with my phone. Please keep in mind, normally I ALWAYS have the flash turned off. Except when I took the first one. Ugh. I'm pretty sure my younger son died for just a second as the light bounced off the glass and filled the dining room. Yep. Sorry everyone. None of the food pictures I'd taken had flash, but I recovered, turned it off and snapped another before returning to my seat.
Purple Lit Waterfall
On we go to the main courses:
Pork Rillette
Funny how we order our food based on the protein and sometimes forget what else the menu said until our meal arrives. The pork was resting on a bed of barley, not couscous and though our younger son knew full well the orange bits on top of the pork were not carrots or orange, we were stumped for just a minute until we identified the apricot. Delicious.
Short Ribs with Chipotle Grits
The fork tender meat was sumptuously soft and inviting served in a pool of flavorful sauce. The Mr. did not care for the grits and was happy to try some of the Pork as well as my Barramundi.
Barramundi with Sunchoke Puree
Just looking at my plate, I was breathless and felt a bit giddy. The fish's skin was crisp and savory. Swirling my fork through the puree, into the garlic crumbs and then spearing a piece of fish resulted in the perfect bite. Textures, flavors, richness - bliss.
Trio of Sorbets
Our youngest avoids dairy and nuts so his dessert options are typically limited. He orders the sorbet, but pushes it toward his father and I to share. I do sample a bite of the cookie with a bit of the tart sorbet. Quite refreshing.
The Mr. and I each ordered:
Deconstructed Pear Whiskey Tart
Whiskey caramel, candied pecans, banana ice cream and chocolate crumbs. While everyone claims they love chocolate, at times a dessert that is not overly sweet is really what I want and the Deconstructed Pear Whiskey Tart fit the bill on many levels. The whimsy and fun created by the chocolate crumbs was a great juxtaposition for the grown up whiskey caramel and candied pecans. Banana ice cream. So mature and memorable.
I had a wonderful dining experience at Swift Restaurant at the Roundhouse and strongly encourage you to visit for your next special occasion or just some night when you are ready to try some place new. I certainly left feeling Fed Well.

I am a happy happy girl! Matt and I finally finished up our engagement photos the other day! 😄 We are divas and had two photo sessions. The first shoot was done around town and was very modern/ artsy. They came out amazing! Our town recently has been focusing on making the downtown more art focused and has been painting all these giant, beautiful murals and cool painted crosswalks. It was pretty fun.
As cool as these came out I also had my heart set on some sunset pictures. I wanted them more romantic and dreamy. I think our brilliant photographer, Carolyn Beaudreau, nailed it!
As with the first photo session I did my own hair and make-up and styling. I thought it would be fun to show a little before and after.
Whoa! Not a stitch of make-up and dirty hair. Aren't you glad I shared that with you?
That's better! I was going for a slightly dramatic eye, subtle contouring and pale pink lips. Poor Matt ending up wearing most of my lipstick.
And just for fun, a little side by side comparison.
It feels great to check something off the wedding to do list!

All News Releases By Date
Public Comment Sought on Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Response to Report on CAFO Permitting and Compliance Program
Release Date: 09/18/2012
Contact Information: Kris Lancaster, 913-551-7557, email@example.com
Environmental News
(Kansas City, Kan., Sept. 18, 2012) - EPA is seeking public comment on the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' (IDNR) response to EPA's initial findings from its informal investigation of IDNR's permit and compliance program for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). IDNR submitted its response to EPA on Sept. 11, 2012, which outlines a number of actions to improve its animal feeding operations program.
"Transparency and public involvement are important components of this process and we need to hear from those that are affected by our decisions," said Karl Brooks, regional administrator. "We look forward to receiving feedback on the IDNR response."
On July 12, 2012, EPA released a report outlining its initial findings, which identified deficiencies in IDNR's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program that the state agency will need to correct. Among other findings, EPA found that IDNR does not have an adequate program to assess whether unpermitted CAFOs need NPDES permits. The findings also note that IDNR must clarify its authority to issue NPDES permits to confinement (roofed) CAFOs that discharge. EPA also found that in a number of cases involving Clean Water Act (CWA) violations, IDNR failed to take timely and adequate enforcement actions, and assess adequate penalties.
EPA's investigation was carried out in response to a petition for withdrawal of the NPDES program authorization from IDNR that was filed in 2007 by the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, Sierra Club and the Environmental Integrity Project. Federal regulations allow interested parties to file these petitions when they are concerned that a state is not meeting the minimum NPDES program requirements.
The 30-day public comment period on IDNR's response and proposed actions begins today and ends Oct. 17, 2012.
EPA will consider public comments in its assessment of IDNR's proposed actions to address deficiencies identified in EPA's initial findings. IDNR's response and EPA's initial report are available online. A link to the public notice, which describes how to submit comments, is also available online.

The Justice Department has approved a revised $734,371 version of a widely criticized research project on possible links between material in the sex magazines Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse and violence against juveniles.
The new program proposes limiting the study to how children are portrayed in more than 600 issues of the magazines.
The initial grant was first approved in December 1983 but fell under severe congressional criticism regarding its cost and its award on a noncompetitive basis by Alfred Regnery, director of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
A new proposal was submitted to the agency in January 1985 that reduced the scope of the study, OJJDP spokeswoman Ann Voigt said Friday.
Regnery approved the revised version in late March, she said.
Under the direction of Dr. Judith Riesman at The American University, the initial study proposed a sweeping look at the effects of the material in the magazines on the sexual and non-sexual behavior of juveniles and violence directed at juveniles.
The initial work faced a storm of criticism after an internal memo written by an OJJDP staffer suggested that it could be done for $60,000 instead of the $798,000 first authorized by Regnery.
House and Senate subcommittees subsequently held investigations questioning the merits of the research and why it was awarded without competitive bidding.
Voigt said much of the $153,083 spent the first year was charged to rewriting the project and answering press inquiries.
"The very fact that it cost $150,000 to patch the grant up is proof enough that it should not have been funded in the first place, especially on a noncompetitive basis," Gordon Raley of the Child Welfare League of America, a private non-profit agency that works on children's issues, said Friday.
Raley, a critic of the Reisman project, formerly served as the staff director for a House subcommittee that held hearings on the project.

Another year ends.
These days I keep asking the question: How can one turn a catastrophic ordeal to positive advantage? Despair, hopelessness, fear and abject loneliness is not far away, even if one can mask them with friends. Mental toughness in our inner world comes from rejuvenating, renewing the mind and re-inventing oneself. How can grief be good? I remind myself that there may be better and nobler enterprises in the future ahead. And focusing on a new outlook with ideals that kept hopes alive before. Sure, creatures of comfort and habits hark back to fond memories with ones we missed. Makes us human. Rather than rake up the sadness move on and not before discarding past plans, dreams, comfort-zones that have became irrelevant since the disaster. Sometimes starting with a blank new page may be a positive thing. Miranda is already doing it - learning to stand, swallow, look into people's eyes and receive facial cues. Ironically, between us she was the spark of life. Life's surprises. To only wish for the pleasant ones is to bury our heads in the sand. Have to dig deep inside - a journey lies ahead. Live on.
"Straighten up and fly right!" - Nat King Cole (1943)
8 pm: Yesterday she looked into my eyes, eyes large as marbles.
Monday Dec 23 9 am: She looked well today, sparing me from becoming odious to the tedious routine of cleaning and exercising.
Christmas Eve 4 pm: She must have also felt the cheers from so many visitors - eyes focused when we look at them. Have a Blessed Christmas.
Christmas Day 9 am: Last night she started uttering gibberish, but only for a while. Speech mountain - pray conquer it.
"My faith in you seems gone like a deflating airbag, for all my longing"
"Alone from my friends and companion, who will again endear herself with me like before?"(Ps 38: 6, 9-11 adapted)
"For He knows the secrets of the heart and flesh" (Ps 44: 21)
New Year Eve 8 pm: Must have caught a cough from me. Where has the year gone? If she wakes up tomorrow she'll not remember as Sleeping Beauty or even Rip V Winkle, with half a brain.
Monday 6 Jan 8 am: Still fighting chest cough problems. More vocal sighs.
Friday 10 Jan 9 am: Eyes still locked left in coma, unable to respond. Still coughing 2 weeks now.
Wednesday 15 Jan 4 pm: Cough almost gone so is tone under medication. Now I avoid crowds and bringing home infection. She's also more vocal but not communicating.
Wednesday 22 Jan 9 pm: Yesterday she was clearly groaning in frustration - not gibberish. Miranda is not the kind of person to complain. But it was heart-rending to respond to her. Sleep is probably the best thing for her (and me).
Sunday 26 Jan noon: Maid off and alone with her, have to creatively stimulate her consciousness. Like dripping juice off a mandarin orange - her delight during Chinese New Year.
Tuesday 4 Feb 1 pm: Able to turn head right instead of locked left. Looking ahead. But still not aware of space or recognize her friends or family.
Monday 10 Feb 4 pm: She deserves better care than what we have been giving. Because we've forgotten to talk to her enough, having been more awake lately. And to clear chest fluids constantly by turning. There is this new concept of care-giving - the "humanitude" approach. But cannot expect too much of hired hands.
Thursday 13 Feb 11 am: More responsive in facial if visitors talk to her and encouraging head turning. Must continue with voice stimulation, although her limbs and vocal response do not seem to be progressing.
< End of post> Next: Surviving
Miranda Yap was in coma 4 years. She was first admitted to TTS Hospital ICU after suffering a ruptured aneurysm on Sept 1 2011 at the Bukit SICC golf course. After Intensive Care and High dependency she was in General Ward Sept 24. On Nov 24 she was discharged for Home therapy 2 mths. But on Jan 18 re-admitted for medical review and cranioplasty and discharged on Feb 25 for home recovery. On Aug 28 2012 her infected cranioplasty was extracted. She passed away on Oct 14 2015.

spoonbill, common name for a large wading bird related to the ibis. It has a long bill with a tip like a flattened spoon, with which it captures small aquatic animals. The roseate spoonbill, Ajaia ajaja, its plumage rosy pink accented with carmine on the wings and tail, is found from the Gulf states S to Argentina and Chile. In the United States it was almost exterminated for its feathers. The common spoonbill of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Platalea leucorodia, is white and crested. Other species are found in Australia, Japan, and tropical Africa. The unrelated shoveler duck is sometimes called spoonbill, and there is a spoon-billed sandpiper. Spoonbills are classified in the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Ciconiiformes, family Threskiornithidae.

The leg rest on the stroller attachment and the telescopic handlebar are adjustable in height, making life as easy as possible for parents. The angle of recline on the backrest provides an ergonomic seat, optimised to support the infant's spine. The hood features a window and an integrated sun canopy. With the separately available hard carrycot, the Cobra stroller can be converted to a newborn pram. It can also be combined with a group 0 car seat transforming it into a practical travel system. The transport lock secures the folded buggy during transport.

AFP denies claims riot squad was withdrawn from Christmas Island to highlight security concerns
The Australian Federal Police has rejected the claims of a whistleblower who says it pulled riot squad staff from Christmas Island for political reasons.
Sergeant Brendan Thomson told the ABC's 7.30 program that he repeatedly warned his seniors about increasing tensions on the island in the run-up to riots in 2011.
But the AFP withdrew its riot squad from the island at the end of 2010, just three-and-a-half months before the March unrest.
Key points
- Riot squad withdrawn from Christmas Island amid warnings over rising tensions
- Sergeant Brendan Thomson emailed AFP Commissioner to complain, and within days was stood down from operational duty
- He began secretly recording conversations with his AFP superiors
- AFP defends withdrawal of officers, says decision was made for sound operational reasons
- Sergeant Thomson sends brief to federal prosecutors alleging AFP misled Parliament
- Read the AFP's response to 7.30 (via Scribd)
Sergeant Thomson secretly recorded an admission from a senior officer that the force withdrew the squad partly to "manufacture a situation" on the island.
The whistleblower says the withdrawal was engineered partly to highlight the shortcomings of the Department of Immigration and security company Serco's management of detention centre security issues.
Speaking this morning, AFP Deputy Commissioner Peter Drennan denied the claim but admitted the use of the "manufacture a situation" phrase was a "poor choice of words".
"There is no way the AFP would make an operational decision which would imperil the safety of the community, including people in detention, or its officers," he told AM.
"The officers were redeployed from Christmas Island - I'm talking six officers here, we're not talking a large number of officers - for sound operational reasons based on the intelligence which existed at the time and on the operational experience of those people who were on the island and the executive who were making decisions on it."
After the riot squad was withdrawn, Sergeant Thomson covertly recorded a number of conversations with his superiors.
One recording was of Assistant Commissioner Frank Prendergast, speaking apparently in relation to the AFP's decision to withdraw from the island.
"You know, so what we were trying to do is manufacture a situation where people paid attention to the issues and we kept a capacity to respond not only to Christmas Island but, you know, to Curtin or to Villawood or to the Solomons," Commissioner Prendergast says on the tape.
Deputy Commissioner Drennan says the conversation needs to be put in context.
"That meeting was probably about half-an-hour in length so you can appreciate there was a fairly lengthy conversation," he said.
"The words used by Assistant Commissioner Prendergast - "manufacture situation" - clearly a poor choice of words.
"What Assistant Commissioner Prendergast was actually trying to do was to explain to Sergeant Thomson the roles and responsibilities of the various agencies on the island, including DIAC, including SERCO and ourselves.
"But there's no way Assistant Commissioner Prendergast was making any suggestion that we would manufacture a situation.
"And having spoken to Assistant Commissioner Prendergast last night, he, on reflection again, admits that it was a very poor choice of words that he used."
The AFP has, however, referred Sergeant Thomson's allegations to the corruption watchdog, the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity.

This is a very enjoyable and satisfying puzzle box to solve for beginners. It has multiple sliding pieces as well as panels, nice discrete size to hold and occupy your hands while doing other things, easy to carry in pocket, and can be solved easily enough but requiring some ingenuity so my family members feel some real accomplishment when solving it. Even my wife who normally does not get into any of my metal puzzles was engaged by this one. I recommend this as a gift for anyone, including puzzlers, who may not have tried the wooden boxes yet but would love it.

2006-2007 Staff Excellence Awards
School of Biological Sciences Staff members recognized
Recently two School of Biological Sciences staff members were recognized for their contributions to the College of Natural Sciences as well as the University.
Francisco Valladares
Francisco Valladares was one of only 30 university employees chosen to receive The University of Texas Staff Excellence Award. The Staff Excellence and Outstanding Supervisor Awards Program recognizes non-teaching UT Austin employees who have made outstanding contributions to the continuing success of the university.
Francisco is an administrative associate in the Section of Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology. His extreme professionalism, vast knowledge and positive approach to challenges have made him a valuable resource for staff, faculty and students in his department. His organizational skills and attention to detail have led to the streamlining of many administrative functions as well. Francisco is a widely respected and dedicated staff member who is a role model because of his contributions to the university.
Charlie Arnone
Charile Arnone was selected to receive this year's College of Natural Sciences Staff Excellence Award. Charlie supervises the crew that maintains the equipment and fleet of vehicles (including a 24-foot pontoon boat) necessary to conduct the School's many field lab courses. "Equipment" can mean anything from butterfly nets and wading boots to sensitive electronic devices.
He also trains and certifies instructors and teaching assistant to drive the vans for courses. Charlie wears many hats and his title does not begin to describe his job. His title could easily include facilitator, expeditor and creative problem-solver. He is continually finding new ways to contribute, anticipating difficulties before others even realize they exist. No matter what the challenge, Charlie approaches his work with a calm confidence that is reassuring to the hundreds of faculty, staff, and students that he cares for. Charlie was recently accepted to UT's School of Law and will be attending classes there in the fall.

Federal and State Responders Continue Mop-Up Operations at Scene of Friday's Fire and Toxic Chemical Spill on Warm Springs Road in Boise, ID
Release Date: 10/25/2010
Contact Information: Mark MacIntyre, EPA Public Affairs 206-369-7999(cell)
(Seattle – October 24, 2010) Federal responders from the U.S Environmental Protection Agency are spending a third day cleaning up the remains of a toxic chemical spill associated with the two alarm fire on Friday(10/22) in a rural area on the outskirts of Boise, Idaho.
The state of Idaho requested EPA's help on Friday afternoon, when a fire on private property near East Junior High School (6275 Warm Springs Avenue) engulfed several buildings that reportedly contained potentially hazardous materials. EPA's initial response was supplemented with a new On-Scene Coordinator and nine cleanup contractors by Saturday evening.
Environmental and health concerns arose after fire suppression water mixed with hazardous wood treating chemicals drained to a small pond between the fire site and the Boise River. Initial air monitoring conducted at the scene by the Boise Fire Haz-Mat team also detected elevated mercury vapors.
Recently reviewed sampling results from both pond water and sediment found no indication of wood treating chemicals but heavy metal sampling results have not yet returned from the lab. Air monitoring continues at the scene, with slightly elevated mercury levels being detected in the immediate vicinity of the spill.
According to Jeffry Rodin, EPA On-Scene Coordinator, his team is focused on cleaning up some key spill areas and preparing to remove contaminated debris and soil.
"We're concentrating on cleaning up areas where the Mercury and wood treating chemicals were stored," said EPA's Rodin. "We expect to finish those areas and stage contaminated soil and debris for removal within a week's time. We'll also be dealing with a pile of vehicle batteries and assorted household hazardous waste on site, including paint cans and other containers."
Rodin continues working closely with Boise City Fire & Haz-Mat, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security to secure the site, complete the cleanup and oversee debris removal.

Congressional Black Caucus Members Should Have Visited Political Prisoners & Their Families in Cuba
Smith, Wolf to Try a 3rd Time for Visas; Ask Cubans 'Let Us In'
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressmen Chris Smith (NJ-4th) and Frank Wolf (VA-10th), leading human rights advocates in Congress, will hold a press conference Thursday on the House Congressional Black Caucus Delegation's visit to Cuba and meeting with Fidel Castro, and on Cuba's latest push for normalized relations with the United States in order to tap into lucrative American tourism and commerce, while ignoring the fate of political prisoners and lack of freedom on the island nation.
In February Smith and Wolf were denied entry into Cuba.
Who: Congressmen Frank Wolf and Chris Smith
What: Cuba's Political Prisoners & U.S. Relations
When: Thursday, April 9, @ 10 a.m.
Where: Cannon House Office Building Terrace (Independence Ave. & N.J. Avenue)
Smith, a newly appointed House Delegate to the United Nations, and Wolf, have been attempting a humanitarian visit to check on political prisoners in the island nation. Smith is a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and its Western Hemisphere Subcommittee. He had expected to travel to Cuba in February with Wolf, but the government has refused to allow the visit by not providing a visa.

Thiru is a #NextDoorNeighbour
At the age of three, Thiru* and his parents left their home country of Sri Lanka to create a new life for themselves in Montreal. This was not an uncommon goal for many Tamils, the minority group in Sri Lanka, who lived in of fear of the government as a result of the civil war that plagued the country for over twenty years.
Thiru grew up in Park Extension, an area that immigrants from around the world have been calling home since the 1950's. Despite living near one another, Thiru viewed the Tamil community as fragmented, with each person moving along an individual path towards a new life.
As recent University graduates, Thiru and his friends decided to create an organization that would bring the Tamil community together by supporting the development of young Tamil professionals. In 2013, the Montreal Tamil Alumni Network was founded. Three years later, the organization has over 300 Facebook members and can expect a minimum of 50 people per event.
Read on to learn more about Thiru's conception of MTAN and his understanding of community development.

When God divided the worlds of the humans and the monsters, he had to split the monsters' world into three smaller realms in order to completely seal them away: the world of power, "Elue," the world of heart, "Julue," and the world of magic, "Celue." Players will have to fight their way through the lava-scorched Flame Mountain, the dank, ghost-filled Shipwreck, and the arid Togui Village if they want to keep the human race safe from the denizens of the Forgotten World!

I've been meaning to write this post for a while now -- and by "a while," I mean over a year. In pondering why it took me so long to start it, I realized that the main trouble with this topic is that it's not really an advice entry like the majority of my blog. Rather than recommending that you, my readers, subscribe to this particular philosophy, I'm more posing it as a unique and alternative possibility, a different -- and perhaps for you, better -- way of approaching things.
It's difficult for me as a seduction coach not to wholeheartedly endorse monogamy. After all, it's so popular among women. Most women, I would guess, read this blog in search of ways to attract, then isolate, then finally nail down into commitment the man of their dreams. And that's pretty much what I'm here to advise upon -- if your goal is monogamy, then I'm here to help you reach it.
But I've had some issues arise during monogamous situations in the past, and while I think monogamy's great on paper, problems often happen when it's put into practice. So during certain periods of my life, I've chosen non-monogamy as the best option for me, and I'd like to explain why I've felt that way.
1. Non-monogamy forces each partner to continue to work proactively on the relationship. Truthfully, even in monogamous situations, each partner should continue to work proactively on the relationship, but how many of us actually do? When we can put the official stamp on a relationship and say "This person is my girlfriend/boyfriend," there is a sense of safety and security that, while often pleasant, also allows us to slack off and take our partner for granted. We gain weight, get slovenly, treat our partner dismissively, or otherwise fail to continue to seduce, because we know that our partner is being fenced in by an agreement that if he cheats on us he will be ubiquitously deemed an asshole by our entire social circle. This isn't exactly the greatest motivation to stay with someone. Too often, this kind of pattern results in cheating anyway, or in the breakup of the relationship, or one leading to the other. Look at the divorce rate. When you box someone into a relationship, that relationship is still only as good as what's inside (or outside) the box. In a non-monogamous situation, however, we are aware that we must constantly strive to earn our partner's commitment, and it makes us better at being in the relationship. We wake up every day knowing that we owe it to our partner to be their best option, just as much today as the day we first won them, and we have the confidence to know that our partner is spending his time with us because he chooses to, not because his word obligates him to it.
2. Cheating doesn't necessitate the end of the relationship. Let's face it, we all suffer from temptation from time to time, no matter how committed our relationship. The more something is forbidden to you, the more it will occupy your thoughts, and unfortunately, when it comes to sex, there is little that trumps novelty. "That which I have not fucked" will nearly always win out over "That which I have fucked." The irony however is that once fucked, those in the former category will be relegated to the latter. So often the best thing you can do to take the mystique out of that hot bartender at your local watering hole is just to give in and get it out of your system. This goes for both your man as well as yourself. Once the mystery is gone, the interest will likely dissipate. And if it doesn't? Then you or your partner were probably going to leave the relationship anyway. In a monogamous relationship, cheating usually necessitates a break-up or at the very least a whole lot of drama that comes with that breach of trust, but take away the "rule" regarding cheating and you will have fewer incidents that will cause you to break up with each other. You'll be able to continue to choose one another every day, not because you have to, but because you will have thoroughly evaluated the options around you and will still believe your partner to be the best one.
3. Breaking up is an unnecessary evil. One of the things that I love about seeing multiple people is that I don't ever have to break up with any of them. I just prioritize them based on how I feel about them and how they treat me. In a monogamous situation, if someone is treating you poorly, your options are basically to either put up with it or walk away from the situation entirely (even in lobbying for better treatment, you still need to be able to walk away in order for your pleas to hold any weight). However, when you have the option of seeing other people, you can simply choose to spend your time with whichever person is being the most fun. Instead of being stuck in a bad cycle and showing loyalty to someone no matter how they treat you, you can reward those who treat you well with your time and attention and punish those who treat you poorly with your withdrawal. Best of all, it gives those who treat you poorly the opportunity to redeem themselves -- if they return to you, ready to play nice, then they can come back. Your partners will learn, over time, that if they want to see you, they need to be nice to you. And if they're not, you can just as easily spend your time with someone else.
4. You're more able to evaluate who's actually right for you when you have multiple options. I try to teach women abundance mentality, which is the ability to hold the frame that there are many options out there that may be good for them. Too often I see women (myself included at times) who get so hooked on one guy that they feel completely uninspired to see anyone else, or worse, they feel that their seeing someone else will jeopardize their relationship with their first choice. Usually, however, it's the exact opposite: seeing multiple people will allow you to more clearly evaluate your various partners' strengths and weaknesses, and will allow even "that one guy you really want" to have to continue to earn you rather than take you for granted. Furthermore, it will allow you to appreciate who's actually right for you, and WHY they're right for you. You might learn that your first choice actually makes you feel miserable despite how attracted you might be to him, and that maybe your second or third choice, after a while, makes you feel so amazing that a more serious attraction to him builds over time.
5. You're not wasting time. How often do we hear women, having finally broken free from some asshole they were hooked on, exclaim, "God, I wasted so much time!"? If someone you were into ends up not being the right person for you, for whatever reason, continuing to see other people, however casually, will ameliorate the situation somewhat -- either someone else you're seeing WILL end up being the right person for you (perhaps surprisingly so, since we're more likely to date someone we might not otherwise take that seriously at first if we're allowing ourselves to see more than one person), or at least you will have had some other fun and excitement in the meantime -- at least you will know that you didn't let any other enticing options pass you by.
6. You can always be monogamous later. If you've been seeing someone for a while and he's really standing out among all your other options, making you feel good, and treating you well, after a while you will probably end up being monogamous in practice with him anyway, because you simply won't have a desire to be with anyone else around you. The difference is that you will have spent a significant amount of time making that decision, and making him prove that he's all he's cracked up to be. When we jump into monogamy too fast, we don't allow the space necessary for us to navigate someone's flaws and shortcomings, and we're often disappointed early on. If you are going to be monogamous with someone, it's probably better that you know him inside and out first, and go into your agreement with the confidence that the arrangement is going to work for the both of you. Often it'll just happen naturally, because you will both choose each other over everyone else again and again for the right reasons.
* * *
It is the necessity of continuing to earn one another that makes a non-monogamous relationship, in my opinion, more truthful and genuine. The truth is that people in monogamous relationships also have to earn one another every day, but most of them aren't thinking about that all the time, and when they lose their partners, it comes as a hurtful shock. Had they been paying attention and, quite frankly, still healthfully competing amongst their partner's other available options, perhaps they would have learned to evolve with the relationship and with their partner's changing needs and been able to keep the relationship alive. But when you take something for granted that it's always going to be there, that's likely the moment you're going to lose it.
So no matter what the parameters of your relationship, be the better option. Always.

Essentials: J. Cole
Fans of J. Cole might recall a time when the North Carolina rapper had little more than "A Dollar
Fans of J. Cole might recall a time when the North Carolina rapper had little more than "A Dollar and A Dream." After warming up with Cole World: The Sideline Story, and preparing to release Born Sinner though, it seems as if now the rapper has both in excess. Like many rappers, Cole considers no less than two chains, a bottle of Hennessy, and a hookah as necessary items. In another respect though, we find noise-canceling headphones, a pen and pad (rare in an age of smartphone raps), and even more convincingly: a copy of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Robert Louis Stevenson's novel is of great importance here, as it symbolizes what has made J. Cole's music so appealing over the years: the balance between dark and light. Rediscover J. Cole's balance with this special edition of Essentials, and be sure to pick up Born Sinner upon its June 25 release.

Moyers & Company "Elections for Sale" One of the reasons Moyers & Company frequently returns to the theme of money and politics is because it's absolutely necessary to do so. Nothing corrupts our political system more than the ability of the rich and influential to spend limitless amounts of money -- often in secret -- with the intention of creating preferred political outcomes. And far from being a regulator of campaign finances, our political funding laws -- aided by a corporate-friendly Supreme Court and self-interested politicians -- only facilitate the process of empowering the few while subjugating the many.

I am not as healthy as I was last year at this time. I've done well recuperating from my surgery and I'm able, on most days, to walk a mile. I was about to do another round of physical therapy before Hurricane Sandy and then got totally sidetracked. It's time to focus again on recovery. I added more walking to my day and each day that it's nice out I will try and walk a mile and a quarter. It's not huge, but it will help me build up stamina and endurance, and by the summer and my trip to Disney World, I will be much better able to enjoy my dream trip.
My other goal is to eat healthier. I started off December sensibly and like every other year it ended in an orgy of chocolate, Pepsi and ice cream. I'm tired, chubby and know I could be feeling a lot, lot better. I'm thinking of making a radical change and giving up gluten and/or going to the paleo diet. It would involve a lot more cooking, but I've been awed by the good food featured on my buddy, Change of Pace's blog. She writes about delicious looking healthy food and has really inspired me. Has anyone made a radical change in their diet? I'd love to hear about it.
I've also been looking at Pinterest for inspiration and saw this recipe, which doesn't look like any hardship to eat.

freedom room: new hospitality concept made and conceived in jail
freedom room is a brand new hospitality concept. a low cost, essential housing module, made and conceived in jail with inmates. a proposal, a product, an exhibition featuring an idea for temporary and social housing, spread hotels, hostels.
can design be a mean for social innovation? can it provide answers to new emerging needs? in other words, can it be a freedom tool?
freedom room is a project developed by aldo cibic, tommaso corà, marco tortoioli ricci in collaboration with one of italy's high security prisons –spoleto's correctional facility – and comodo, a cooperative- has started since 2003 its education activities in that prison, dedicated to inmates' professional training in design, grapichs and publishing.
comodo and cibic workshop started to work together in 2009 in order to identify and analyze the opportunities provided by design to improve work inside prisons.
working with a group of inmates they came up with new ideas about 'low cost living'; about objects that have to be necessarily multifunctional; about spaces that must be flexible and adaptable.
a cell is a closed shell, defined as a spatial module. for its inhabitants such space has to be a kitchen, a room, an office, a playroom, a closet, a gym, a library, and much more all at the same time. a place that is continuously reinvented by those who live inside it. a 'module' where a stool becomes an oven, a bed becomes a closet, a can becomes an antenna, a table becomes a gym. inside the cell, one finds out that space necessarily has a flexible dimension that changes according to how it is experienced by each individual.
many of the furniture found in the italian prisons come from a big carpentry located inside spoleto's correctional facility. working together with the prison's inmates, aldo cibic, tommaso corà and marco tortoioli ricci have discovered that most of the items produced there become something else inside a prison cell. space itself becomes something else. living under restraint has led many inmates in italian prison, out of necessity, to reinvent the space in their cells as well as the way they use many of the items inside. that's how freedom room project was born. the inmates working in spoleto's carpentry have become the project's consultants. their contribution has led to the idea of a more liveable space, conceived to be compact and functional, able to meet new needs while keeping the original cell's size (4 x 2.7 meters).
a brand new essential and economic housing module has aroused from this work, a proposal/product for innovative temporary or permanent solutions, spread hotels, student facilities, hostels. a room that becomes a place designed to use the space at its best, for working, studying, living, enjoying. but also a room that becomes a tool for urban renovation in abandoned areas. freedom room modules can be used inside industrial, commercial, non-commercial and urban areas fallen in disuse, pushing new social dynamics and re-shaping communities and neighbourhoods.
freedom room could be imagined also as a starting point to imagine new italian prisons' cells, or as a low cost hotel room or a spread youth hostel, or even as the answer to new low cost housing demands. freedom room could also be a new local social network idea, a new way of accessing, booking, or otherwise relating to find out by whom and how the modules are occupied, letting you know your module's neighbour and its habits, building up a virtual and a real community. facing the actual crisis, prisons can be intended as a potential for new ideas and examples for innovation, social cohesion and renovation.
the first freedom room prototype has been shown inside the triennale during milan design week and a conference was held with the project's testimonials.
present discussions concerning the amount of space available to detainees in prisons inevitably revolve around the issue of overcrowding, which makes the prisons of our countries' unworthy of a civilized society.
'any reflection on the amount of space available to the inmates of prisons must start from a preliminary observation: there is no existing concept of design that differentiates the distribution or 'construction' of spaces according to the subjects that will use them. today's prisons are all quite dramatically identical.
the message conveyed by the administrative bodies that govern penitentiaries is quite clear: we have no particular concept of design relating to the organization of prison life based on the type of people that live in prisons. these are the spaces available for the inmates, and they are all the same, regardless of whether they will be used by men, women, minors, leaders of criminal gangs or the perpetrators of petty crimes and 'white-collar' criminals whom we expect to eventually rehabilitate.'says lucia castellano.she holds a degree in law and is a qualified attorney, has been a prison director since 1991.

'even in situations not characterized by overcrowding, which will naturally impede any minimal form of organization of basic day-to-day activities, prison cells are subject to very rigid rules concerning furniture and possible internal furnishings and accessories. everything is seen as an instrument for self-harm. I think that a project such as the 'freedom room' should be hailed as a breath of fresh air of great importance in terms of a possible cultural advancement within the prison setting. inmates can become the proponents of a new 'culture' in their day-to-day living environment, starting with the difficult situation they experience on a permanent basis and transforming it into a resource. the depersonalization typical of such institutions can be effectively addressed and the fear of critical events and liability may thus be abated. I sincerely hope that prison administrations will consider and adopt this project to promote a 'culture' of prison life which, for the first time, may be determined to a certain extent by the inmates themselves.' continues lucia castellano
'inside the high security prison in spoleto, in the hearth of umbria, there is a large carpentry that produces furnitures for many other italian correctional facilities.many of these objects become something else inside the prison cell.there, the space itself undergoes transformation, reinvented by the people who live in it.we asked the inmates to work with us as our consultants. together we came up with the idea of a more liveable cell. a compact and functional module able to meet new needs.freedom room is our achievement. a low cost hotel room. freedom room is the answer to temporary housing, 'spread' hostels, social housing.freedom room is the starting point to rethink italian prisons' cells as well'.says aldo cibic
Very nice harmony of colors and design. Thank you for sharing.
Great Idea for low cost living in order to help society to its feet…

text: The iPhone faces additional legal issues in Canada before it can make its way onto Rogers. It appears that a plucky little Ontarian telecom named Comwave wants Apple to pony up cash before Apple can use the iPhone trademark. Comwave is currently using the iPhone trademark for VOIP phones and services. The trademark brouhaha is currently playing its way out in CIPO, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. Also, there's currently no public deal with Rogers to carry the iPhone, that could be another stumbling block. Apple probably has to do this dance in every country where they want to sell the iPhone.
