Picnic salad recipe
Salad makes great picnic food so try this easy picnic salad that is packede in resealable bags - salad dressing included - and put together at your picnic.
Serving Size:
Special Info:
Egg free, Gluten free, Nut free
- 2 cups cold shredded BBQ chicken
- 3 cups lettuce leaves
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup shaved parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- salt and pepper
- 3 sandwich size resealable bags
- 2 snack size resealable bags
Place chicken in one large bag. Place washed and dried lettuce leaves in another large bag. Halve cherry tomatoes, drain off excess liquid and place in remaining large bag.
Place parmesan in a small bag. Pour oil, juice, mustard (if using), salt and pepper to taste in remaining small bag. Double-check you have sealed all bags! Pack the rest of your picnic gear and off you go. Shake the dressing bag before tossing dressing through the salad.

- Vary the ingredients according to your family's tastes and what is in the fridge. Some crispy bacon, hard-boiled eggs, croutons, cucumbers or asparagus could be bagged and added.

A Tree Mendez RootSuit
Peter's guests on this edition of Out to Lunch are eccentric enough to earn the accolade, "Our most Only In New Orleans show ever."
Colin Grussing is an otherwise perfectly normal person who dresses in fully body spandex, including masking his face, and sells what he calls his RootSuit to other eccentrics and rabid sports fans. A man named Tree (only), who came to lunch in a wooden bow tie, weaves a magical spell over tourists.

Success! Believe in Kids Annual Dinner
Chicago Youth Centers' (CYC) Believe in Kids Annual Dinner, held on May 2, was an overwhelming success! Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors and donors, we raised more than $439,000 to provide children from some of Chicago's most underserved communities with effective high-quality programs, from early childhood education to college and career readiness.
Check out the photos from our event!
The inspiring event, chaired by Charlie and Bobbie Denison, and presented in conjunction with CareerBuilder, was a celebration of the power of character, determination and hope. Speaking before a crowd of nearly 400 guests, keynote speaker, author and Walgreens' Chief Diversity Officer and Divisional Vice President, Steve Pemberton, illustrated the importance of how one moment of someone's kindness can affect and forever impact a child looking for inspiration. His moving personal story parallels the lives of many of the children we serve, and his words were a reminder of how important the work we are doing is. His message was well received as evidenced by the standing ovation he received from the visibly moved crowd.
The event was also the setting for the premier of CYC's new video. The video tells the story of Paul Morgan, a CYC Fellowship House alumnus, currently a Senior Research Instructor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and the positive impact that CYC has had on him.
In addition to the video, highlights of the program included the presentation of the Sid and Sondra Epstein Believe in Kids Scholarship to Gabriela Torres, as well as the Spirit of Youth Award to Raymond James and Patrick T. DeLacey.
CYC is grateful for the generosity of the following donors and sponsors and thanks them for Believing in Kids:

What We DoWe invest in youth in underserved Chicago neighborhoods to help them discover and realize their full potential--from early childhood education to and through college. HERE'S WHY ... Young people are most at risk for delinquent behaviors during the after-school hours of 2:00 to 6:00 pm. This is compounded in neighborhoods where poverty, drugs, violence, and under-performing schools are the norm. The good news is that these underserved children experience the greatest gains in academic performance and social and life skills development when they participate in after-school programs that are fully implemented and they attend regularly. That's why we're here--and have been for more than half a century. HERE'S HOW ... CYC welcomes at-risk, low-income youth ages 3-18 into eight neighborhood-based centers and a residential camp where they receive one-on-one and small group guidance from well-trained, caring adults. Our centers and unique camp are oases of encouragement and support for these children. Three core programs reinforce their strengths, support academic success, and help them envision a positive future:
CYC also offers College and Career Readiness, Mentoring Children of Prisoners, Environmental Education, Educational Support for Wards of the State, and Crisis Intervention. EMPHASIZING THE POSITIVE ... Five content areas are reinforced through a Positive Youth Development model: Academic Achievement -- College and Career Readiness Life Skills -- Health and Wellness -- Arts and Culture |

Dr. Phillips at Boone Boone got blown out last year in the regular season but came back to shock the Panthers in the playoffs. The winner of this game is in the drivers seat and most likely district champions. Dr. Phillips WR Kenny Shaw has been nursing an injury and will need to have a good game against the Braves but I think the key is RB Dee Hart. Last year in the playoffs he was a non factor and he needs to touch the ball twenty times in this game. Boone must try to keep this one close by controlling the clock and that will fall on the shoulders of QB Sam Hutsell. The Braves running attack has been below par so Hutsell must be accurate and keep the clock and chains moving. I think this game will be closer than most expect. Dr. Phillips by 7
Seminole at Lake Mary Both teams have struggled on offense but have played well on defense. If you are looking for a high scoring contest you might want to stay home. Both teams have standouts on defense in Serderius Bryant, Thurman Byrd, Eric Farkas, Andrew Rice and an emerging junior Chris Robinson. I expect Toby Durham to be able to carry the Seminole offense and pull out the win late. Seminole by 4
Bishop Moore at South Sumter Both teams come into this game banged up. The Raiders are down to their third string quarterback and have struggled to put up points against good competition. Bishop Moore has had its share of injuries but with the return of RB Jalen Singleton last week they have the key pieces in place. Nathan Perera has 421 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns on the season for the Hornets. South Sumter's weakness on defense is its secondary and Perera must take advantage of this. I expect a pretty high scoring game. Bishop Moore by 2
Timber Creek at Winter Park Winter Park is developing more offensive weapons each week and the Wildcats are gaining confidence and momentum. The defense as usual has played well and will get a good test this week from QB Tyler Marincov. The Wolves are banged up and the status of RB Isiah Bolden is still doubtful. I don't think Timber Creek can score enough points to win this one. Winter Park by 14

Cisco WLC Code 126.96.36.199 Deferred Status
It has come to my attention that code 220.127.116.11 was moved to "deferred status".
This is pretty relevant information as customers are still on this revision. Perhaps it may be because of the number of related bugs in this release ? Please comment if you have any details .. Thanks
*UPDATE* - I understand that Cisco will not support customers on code that is in deferred status. They will advise a code upgrade.

I'm taking an online course for SEO. The instructor states not to have text in a table the same color as the page background even if the table background is different because this will be picked up by the spiders as spamming. For example one of my websites ( Tips for Heat Treaters - Information for the Heat Treatment Industry )has a white page background but the navigation is in a table aligned to the right whith a red background and white text. I have several websites that have similar situations with text that is the same color as the page background in a table that has a different color from the page background.
Any opinions and experience with this would be appreciated.

Vail's week-long Snow Daze celebration kicks off today with an after-dark party in the town's Ford Park. Things will really heat up later in the week as the ski resort counts down to its fiftieth birthday, which will be celebrated on Saturday with a giant bash and fireworks display in Mountain Plaza. In the meantime, a three-day concert series will provide plenty of entertainment: The Shins and the Divine Fits take the stage Thursday ($29.50), while Michael Franti and Spearhead and Nic Cowan and the Remedy play on Friday ($39.50), and Wilco and Nathaniel Rateliff close out the party on Saturday ($39.50).
I-70Vail, CO 81658
Category: Sports/Recreation
Region: Mountains
Friday is also the day to catch the free world premiere of Vail: The Rise of America's Iconic Ski Resort at 5:30 or 7:30 p.m. at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort; the film features fifty years of ski footage by local filmmaker Roger Cotton Brown.
"We're exposing Vail's real soul by telling the story of the people who started the place," says Brown. "That history cuts through any impression of glitz and money people may have when they think of Vail. Yes, there are a lot of big, fancy hotels in Vail now, but behind it all are a lot of very ordinary people who were essentially ski bums who saw their dreams realized."

Changing the World
Mobile devices are changing the way we live. They have sparked a revolution in digital tools and toys, and are shaping our perception of and behavior in the world. They are always-on, hyper-connected digital extensions of ourselves that create a new landscape rich with opportunity for brands. Mobile experiences impact the way we work and live, and can help brands establish lasting, meaningful relationships with consumers.
A Trusted Confidante
We have an intimate relationship with our mobile devices. Until recently, our phones and computers were bound to locations by the wires that connected them. To communicate remotely and instantaneously–call a friend, search the web–required a connection with a place. Today, our phones and computers are converging into untethered, location-aware devices that are taking on ever more diverse roles while keeping us constantly connected to the world.
We rely on our mobile devices to facilitate the most fundamental of our daily activities. We use them to communicate via phone, text, and email. They act as our personal assistants and trainers, our music players and day planners. They are our cameras and photo albums. Increasingly, we use them to play games and watch video, TV, and even feature films.
Our mobile devices track our own activities and achieve our goals. Mobile applications such as iLose help us reach weight-loss goals by tracking what we eat, while the Mint mobile application allows us to manage our finances by tracking our spending on-the-go. The Nike+ experience combines shoe sensors, the iPod, and a web application to create a multi-dimensional running experience that motivates new and seasoned runners alike. We are leveraging our mobile devices to proactively change our own behavior.
The More They Do, The More We Change
In one of the biggest shifts, the mobile device is poised to replace the wallet. Our wallets hold the things most dear to us, and mobile experiences are beginning to replicate their role by emulating transit passes, enabling banking transactions, acting as identification, and even opening doors. We've begun carrying boarding passes on them, and New York's transit system recently began a contactless payment trial for PayPass equipped credit cards and mobile phones.
We pay bills, transfer money, and view account statements via mobile. We can make and receive payments with a touch, or bump, of our device–the PayPal mobile application enables sending money directly to our list of contacts. And startups like Square have developed credit card scanners that connect to the phone, enabling anyone with a device and application to accept credit card payments.
They also help us to save. Applications like ShopSavvy instantly compare retailers' prices, and Target's mobile coupon program offers exclusive savings. In a new study by economists at Dartmouth, results show that mobile reminders helped people increase their savings balances by 6%.
The more our mobile devices do, the more we regard them as a trusted confidante and rely on them for our most important activities and experiences. This opens a new door through which brands can connect with consumers. By creating meaningful mobile experiences that intersect with consumers' daily lives, brands can establish deeper, longer-lasting relationships with consumers than was previously possible.
This Must Be The Place
Our devices are also impacting our relationship to place and space. Mobile maps tell us where we are, how to get where we're going, and even which way we're facing. As a result, we are planning less, and improvising more. And we are capturing, sharing, and viewing location-based content along the way. Location–knowing it, using it, sharing it–is quickly becoming central to most mobile applications, and represents a huge opportunity for brand presence.
Our mobile devices enhance our experience with places. Local mobile search helps us find what we need nearby–1/3 of Google searches are for local information. Applications such as Yelp, with 26 million users, also tell us what people think of it. Augmented Reality applications overlay information about the world on our device's view of it, revealing what can't be seen. TwittAround displays nearby tweets and their origins, and Layar is a mobile browser that can overlay content from Yelp, Wikipedia, Google, and more on our view of the world.
Small businesses are both the drivers and beneficiaries of location-based mobile innovation. New gourmet food trucks are drawing crowds by announcing their current locations via Twitter, and local businesses are using Foursquare Mayor incentives to encourage customer loyalty. Google created a mobile coupon service for retailers in 2009, and analysts project that location-based mobile spending will top $4 billion in 2014. Small and large businesses alike have an opportunity to connect with consumers by providing services and experiences that help them connect with brands through location.
Let's Get Physical
Our mobile devices are dimensional and sensitive they come alive with interaction. The touch screen restores a tactile satisfaction we had lost in a world of pointing devices. We can zoom, rotate, and scroll with the touch of our fingers, physically manipulating our mobile experiences. Advertisers on the iPad are witnessing the relish for this tactile experience–click-through rates are reported at 6 times higher than expected for the web.
We can also tilt, rotate, shake, and even speak to interact with our devices. Springing from this well are virtual experiences that invoke the physical–playing musical instruments, flipping pages, and drawing pictures. Ocarina transforms the iPhone into a flute, and numerous eBook applications respond to the swipe of a finger to flip a page. A May New Yorker magazine cover was created using the Brushes mobile application. The interaction possibilities of our mobile devices reinforce our comfort and trust in them, paving the way to richer mobile brand experiences.
Reach Out and Actually Touch Someone
More and more, in this new tactile, location-aware context, we are connecting with each other in the physical world via virtual means. Text messages are a primary mechanism for coordinating meetings. Mobile social applications like Loopt allow us to broadcast location-specific activities to our friends, alerting them when we are nearby. Loopt dating offshoot Loopt Mix connects the single, available, and nearby in real-time. Foursquare uses a game-like check-in and reward system to connect people with locations and, as a result, to each other. All of this reflects a shifting social context, where virtual communication results in real-world connections.
Opportunities for brands abound in this new context of mobile social media. Recently, world-renowned footwear brand Jimmy Choo organized a real-time treasure hunt around London using Foursquare. The state of Pennsylvania is using Foursquare to guide tourists to state highlights. The spontaneity and serendipity that is introduced into our lives by mobile experiences presents brands with opportunities to connect with consumers in unexpected ways.
New School Tools
Marshall McLuhan famously said, "First we shape our tools, thereafter they shape us." Our mobile devices are shaping us today. The convergence of location-awareness, mobility, and physicality is changing the way we live, and forever altering both the digital and physical landscapes. Mobile experiences are no longer afterthoughts or extensions–they are at the center of our lives. And, they must be at the center of brand experiences in the 21st century. Those brands that create meaningful mobile experiences that connect with consumers will be those that stay relevant in this rapidly changing world.

The same principles that the best stand-up comedians follow also apply to successfully innovating products and services.
The Mad Men era of advertising has passed. But what does advertising mean in this new age where there is no such thing as a "traditional" agency?
Noise plays an integral role in the patterns that drive human perception. Make sure your target audience research doesn't remove it.
Brands are no longer definitive. They are temporal. Brands are informed by multiple voices, and they exist in multiple mediums and through multiple contexts. The media that a brand inhabits is no longer fixed or linear, it is iterative, with no beginning, no end, and little permanency. Adherence to a big idea and endless repetition of centralized, fixed rules can make a brand seem unresponsive, mechanized, inhuman, and out of step with its audience. But without repetition, how does a brand create consistency? And without consistency, how does a brand maintain value?
For the past 40 years, futurists, economists, and media mavens have debated which business strategies are best suited for the networked, post-industrial era. In his 1971 book Future Shock, futurist Alvin Toffler talked about the upcoming "experiential industry," in which people in the future would be willing to allocate high percentages of their salaries to live amazing experiences.
I'm sure that I was swearing allegiance to brands as soon as I began to develop the capacity for critical thought.
How will brands stay relevant when all entertainment is instantly available, anytime, anywhere, via any device?
Shopper satisfaction at retail stores is declining 15% a year. How is the role of the storefront changing?
How can we use game-like mechanics to create greater value for products and services?
For brands and consumers, what are the implications of hyper-connectivity?
Fearing failure stifles creativity and progress. Instead, embrace failure and learn from it early on. Rapid prototyping can help you do just that.
How can businesses differentiate themselves while creating valuable products, services, and experiences for their customers?
How can brands enhance their offering and connect with their customers in more personal and immediate ways?
By now most of us get the message -- we need to consider the entire customer journey, the complete experience, surrounding the products and services we offer to customers.

Meet Your NBA Champion Foodie: Pau Gasol Talks El Bulli, Bazaar, Kobe and More
You probably already know him as the second best player on the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. But what you probably don't know (unless you read our September interview with Lakers trainer Gary Vitti) is that he's also the team's resident foodie. He is, after all, from Spain. Squid Ink caught up with a relaxed Pau Gasol after practice in Phoenix on Sunday, just hours removed from the team's double overtime win against the Sacramento Kings.
Squid Ink: Right now, a lot of people are saying that Spain is making the best food in the western world. Do you miss it much?
Pau Gasol: Uh...I miss it a little. I've changed a little, my diet here in the states, but yeah. I definitely miss the shellfish, the seafood. We've got really good seafood back home. The product, I'm used to it.
SI: Are you familiar with Ferran Adriá and his restaurant El Bulli?
PG: Oh, yes. Of course. I haven't been unfortunately. I met Ferran two years ago, I met him at a book presentation in L.A. I went to support him. We met and it was really nice to meet him. And yeah, he told me to go any time I could, but I haven't had the time. But I look forward to going. He told me just to call him and he'd seat me.
SI: Have you found any Spanish restaurants in Los Angeles that you like?
PG: When I first came, I was really craving it, homesick for Spanish food. So my mom and my dad cooked for me. But I kind of lost a little faith in Spanish restaurants in L.A., because the quality wasn't nearly as good as I thought it could be. But it's getting better. I go to The Bazaar a lot. I thought that was really good. The ambiance is very good. Really L.A.-ish. It's a cool place to go, have some tapas. I'm friends with José [Andrés]. He gives me bigger portions than usual.
SI: Have you taken your teammates to The Bazaar yet?
PG: Yeah. Team dinner, five of us, when the season was over. Derek [Fisher] was there, he tried most of the stuff. Some of it they weren't willing to try. But they were pretty open to it. It was nice. It's always a special feeling when teammates try the food that I love and they enjoy it.
SI: What are some of your favorite restaurants in the city, of any kind?
PG: I love Japanese food. I'm a big sushi and Italian fan. It's much more introduced in the states. So many great quality Italian restaurants. Something that I hope in the near future is more Spanish restaurants and more Spanish products in the states.
SI: Any particular sushi or Italian that you're fond of?
PG: As far as sushi, Nobu is really good and I enjoy it. I also have good friends there. It's a place that I love to go. And uh...Italian places, Pizzeria Mozza is really nice. Another restaurant I really like a lot is Amarone on Sunset. Great product, really cool spot. Great people.

As we've been documenting, a group of multinational corporations have launched a campaign called "WinAmerica," in an attempt to convince Congress to approve what's known as a tax repatriation holiday. This tax holiday would allow corporations to bring money that they have stashed overseas back to the U.S. at a dramatically lower tax rate (instead of the 35 percent rate that they would normally pay).
JP Morgan's chief equity strategist Thomas Lee has now jumped into the fray on behalf of his corporate brethren, promoting the holiday as a boost to the economy. "From a market's perspective, this likely represents a substantial catalyst," he wrote. However, just two months ago, JP Morgan analysts were singing a very different tune, finding that a repatriation holiday would do little good for the economy:
The JP Morgan researchers weigh in on the subject of repatriation and conclude that even in the unlikely event such a tax holiday is created — it's opposed by the Obama administration — while there is a House bill on the matter, there is no companion legislation in the Senate — it would not result in a flood of repatriation. This is largely because much of the over $1 trillion worth of undistributed earnings overseas will likely be reinvested across the pond.
The corporations pushing for a repatriation holiday claim that it would create jobs and promote domestic investment. But corporate America is currently sitting on a record amount of cash, so the idea that it needs more to start creating jobs should be met with skepticism.
Plus, Congress already tried such a holiday in 2004.The companies that benefited most wound up cutting jobs, and companies started stowing even more money offshore in anticipation that another repatriation holiday could be wrung out of Congress.
Congressional Republicans have jumped on board the repatriation push, introducing a bill that would let companies pay just a 5.25 percent tax rate on money they bring in from offshore. The Joint Economic Committee found that a repatriation holiday would cost nearly $80 billion over 10 years.

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A tenuirostral non-passerine bird of the family Upupidæ. The best-known species is Upupa epops, the common hoopoe of Europe, a bird about 12 inches long, with a slender, sharp, decurved bill about 2½ inches long, and a large, thin, compressed, and semicircular crest, erectile at will, on the head. The general color is buff of some shade, varied with black and white on the wings and tail. The bird is insectivorous and migratory, and is widely diffused in Europe, Asia, and Africa. There are several other species of Upupa. The birds of the neighboring family Irrisoridæ are known as wood-hoopoes. Also
hooper .
- n. An Old World bird, Upupa epops, known for its distinctive plumage, fanlike crest, and slender bill.
GNU Webster's 1913
- n. (Zoöl.) A European bird of the genus Upupa (Upupa epops), having a beautiful crest, which it can erect or depress at pleasure, and a slender down-curving bill. Called also
hoop ,whoop . The name is also applied to several other species of the same genus and allied genera.
WordNet 3.0
- n. any of several crested Old World birds with a slender downward-curved bill
- Alteration (influenced by Latin ūpupa) of obsolete hoop, from French huppe, from Old French, from Vulgar Latin *ūppa, alteration of Latin upupa, ūpupa, of imitative origin. (American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition)
"Of all birds that hatch for themselves the hoopoe is the only one that builds no nest whatever; it gets into the hollow of the trunk of a tree, and lays its eggs there without making any sort of nest."
"Commentators generally agree that the hoopoe is the bird intended."
"a bird called a "hoopoe," according to the context."
"As I arrive, a hoopoe flounces down to the field alongside and, crest outspread, studiously feasts on worms."
"Pisthetairos and Euelpides, frustrated with life in wartime Athens, search for Tereus, a king who had been changed into a hoopoe, in the realm of the birds in the sky."
"For example, and this is just for openers, you can be dumb as a dodo, crazy as a coot, silly as a goose, a sitting duck, or simply a dupe from de huppe, the hoopoe, an Old World bird, said to be more stupid than most."
The Huffington Post: Hugh Rawson: Fowl Talk for the Holidays
"The poem is impossible to translate, although I have seen a version with 'amwolf' and 'waswolf' and once, years ago, I found an English equivalent based on a hoopoe rather than a werewolf which then became 'whompoe' and 'whosepoe'."
"Above it were the roller and bee-eater and hoopoe, all fabulously Mediterranean with hot aureate colors that were not, even in the late 1960s, permitted in Britain yet, except under license to the kingfisher."
"Wadi Al-Hitan is not separately noted but the desert species hoopoe lark Alaemon alaudipes, probably occurs."
"It depicts a stream in a rocky environment with several partridges and a hoopoe (a small-medium bird with a distinctive crest)."

Dr. Leshem has created the International Center for Bird Migration in Latrun, the site of some very bloody battles in Israel's War of Independence and home to a vast war memorial.

And here I thought this was a made up word in Salman Rushdie's "Haroun and the Sea of Stories." He did make up a bunch of words for that book, if I'm not mistaken. Someone must have a list.

Breitbart was actually a pretty intelligent and funny guy. Of course he had a political agenda (although I believe he once worked for the Huffington Post). I mean, if you compare him to more popular alternatives (e.g. Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck) he comes out pretty favorably (although if you compare someone to shit, of course they are going to come out smelling better).
Anyway, I liked him.
Yeh but his whole life was a contradiction: Anti-brainwashing (fair enough), acomplished by self-same brainwashing technique.
It's almost as perfect as PS's love for tool.

This Pinot Blanc has bright aromas and flavors of lime, fig and apple, complemented by lemon and floral notes. With balanced acidity and a rich, full body, this wine has a smooth, yet bright, finish.
Wine Color: White
Vintage: 2010
Appellation: Arroyo Seco, Monterey
Winemaker: Karl D. Wente
Alcohol: 14.1
Acid: 0.63
The Arroyo Seco region, with its maritime breezes that blanket the vineyards, has a perfect climate for Pinot Blanc. Arroyo Seco is a sub-appellation within the Monterey AVA, with topography that begins in the west as a steep, narrow canyon and widens in the east as it nears the edge of the Salinas Valley floor. Pinot Blanc is a close relative of Pinot Noir with similar tight clusters, but it is much less fickle than its red cousin.
The wine was barrel-fermented in Eastern European and neutral oak.
The wine was aged for 7 months in Eastern European and neutral oak barrels prior to bottling.

By Rawlings Otieno
Francis Njuguna Wangui's stars are shining bright after winning the prestigious British scholarship.
The former slum boy has been recognised for his talent and gifted academics performance.
A happy Njuguna, 20, told The Standard that his happiness is beyond measure as he is now certain that his dreams will come to fruition.
He beat 12 other contestants in an interview to emerge the winner and is now heading to the University of Liverpool for an undergraduate Degree in Mathematics and Finance.
Before landing this chance, Njuguna's dreams were indeed just wishful thinking, for his life as a child of a struggling single mother living in the Keresha slums of Naivasha, he didn't have the liberty to let his hope for a bright future soar.
Njuguna's life has been one of struggle. His father died when he was in Standard One and his uncles, he says, threw him and his siblings out of their home.
Life of struggle
Ever since, Njuguna and his four siblings lived in destitution and going through school depended on the mercy of others.
His mother, Ruth Wangui, did menial jobs to pay school fees but sometimes the demand for fees and upkeep was too overwhelming and Njuguna had to stay out of school twice, for two years each time, for lack of fees.
"I had to stay home that long since we were poor. Food itself was a problem and raising money for school fees was unaffordable luxury," says Njuguna.
His mother worked in the flower farms; weeding, plucking the flowers and doing any other work that came her way to earn a living and fend for her children. She was able to see Njuguna through primary school, which he finished in 2004.

Paris Hilton's boyfriend Doug Reinhardt is facing a lawsuit from his former landlord regarding allegations he trashed the Los Angeles home which was rented for his stint in "The Hills."
Last September, Reinhardt sued landlord Mark Rooke after the real estate developer refused to repay a $24,000 security deposit over damage to the property caused by filming the hit MTV show.
RELATED: See more photos of Paris and Doug
Reinhardt demanded the full amount back, minus the $2,332 he agreed to pay in repairs.
But Rooke is holding on to the deposit and is countersuing the minor league baseball player, accusing Reinhardt of causing "substantial physical and other damage" to the house.
RELATED: Beyonce's clothing line sued
The landlord also targets MTV bosses in the suit, claiming they trespassed on the property, therefore breaking his initial contract with Reinhardt.
Rooke is seeking unspecified damages, as well as legal costs.

UPDATE: Three injured as fire hits Eddystone apartment building
EDDYSTONE – A multi-alarm fire in a three-story apartment building has left three people injured and numerous others homeless.
The fire broke out at approximately 4:30 a.m. at the Creek Bank Apartments at 1120 Eddystone Avenue.
Eddystone Fire Chief Charles "Cuzzy" Rowles Jr. said when he contacted the county's emergency dispatcher, the flames already were visible.
"The 911 dispatcher advised me that the police were on location with fire showing and had started to evacuate," Rowles said. "Upon arrival on location the fire was already through the roof and was traveling north through the building."
Three residents suffered injuries and were transported to Crozer-Chester Medical Center. The extent of their injuries is not immediatley.
Firefighters, medics and fire police from numerous surrounding departments assisted Eddystone at the scene. Firefighters remained on the scene for several hours after the blaze was declared under control.
No firefighters were injured battling the blaze.
Stephanie Dickens, who lives in a second-floor apartment with her mother and grandmother, said she was asleep when she heard something in the hallway.
"I'm a heavy sleeper," she said. "I didn't hear a fire alarm."
When they realized there was a fire in the building, the three women grabbed their cat and ran outside. Continued...
"I heard a guy jumped out of the third floor window," Dickens said. "They said he was hurt pretty badly."
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Rowles, the borough fire marshal, county fire investigators and the Pennsylvania State Police.
The Red Cross was on scene to assist the displaced residents.
A temporary shelter has been set up at Lighthouse Hall on East Ninth Street in the borough.

i m newer to these forums so kindly ignore if posting at wrong area...
i tried to install Linux on a system in which win 7 was already installed. i format 48 GB disk space and leave it unassigned for fedora 11 . when i install fedora first time it was completed successfully but after reboot it shows some problem(not responding after password step). i re install it but it says no free space is founded on disk. even selecting the rescue mode doesn't help. after that i delete that 48 GB from fedora GUI.(there were five options new delete raid lmv reset)but now it says i have not defined any boot as well as root partition to fedora. after that wen i reboot neither window 7 nor fedora booting options were there. only grub is loaded. it shows error 8 while boot command is executed. my window 7 was genuine activated. i have the option to reboot whole disk with new boot-able disk .. but i want to choose the difficult side like a programmer... so kindly guide me...

Re: grub shows error 8..
Ok here is what I would probably do:
If you have your original Windows 7 disc, or a backup/restore disc, boot from that and use Startup Recovery to fix MBR etc. Once Windows is successfully fixed, Go into Disk Management (Start>search "Computer Management">hit enter>Disk Management tab) and delete all the Linux partitions so you just have the Windows ones left, then reboot with your Fedora disc in the drive. Using the Fedora disc, you can simply shrink the Windows partition from the installer and it should automatically fill the available space with all the necessary partitions for you. You can, if you wish, create custom layouts, see the Fedora Documentation.
