By Diana Abu-Jaber
W.W. Norton & Co., 2008
Readers familiar with Diana Abu-Jaber's previous books, which focus heavily on Arab-American characters and their identity struggles, will likely find her latest novel, "Origin,"a startling departure in tone, style and subject matter. "Origin" is a gripping forensic detective novel, with a deeply psychoanalytical twist. There is only one Arab-American character in this novel, and his heritage is not central. Food – so important to Abu-Jaber's other work – plays virtually no role in this story, and even the climate is colder since the story is set in wintry Syracuse, New York.
But some of the elements that made Abu-Jaber's earlier books so compelling are still here, including her considerable talent for writing believable dialogue as well as a fascinating, complex central female character. This time, the search for identity is not riveted on different ethnic backgrounds but delves more deeply into questions of nature vs. nurture, and even animal vs. human. Memory, a constant source of fascination for Abu-Jaber, plays a key role here, as does the importance of family.
Lena Dawson, a fingerprint expert at a crime lab in Syracuse, finds her ordered and solitary life deeply unsettled by a rapidly escalating investigation into a series of seemingly coincidental crib deaths, which she suspects may be the work of a serial killer. Lena is surrounded by a supporting cast of quirky workplace colleagues, a domineering ex-husband and a new detective friend who is battling his own demons. Abu-Jaber effectively builds the suspense throughout the story, using the stark and snowbound setting of Syracuse to add a noir-like feel to the novel.
As in earlier works, Abu-Jaber's writing is so fluid, her dialogue so believable, that the reader is quickly drawn into the investigation, the growing public panic about a baby-killer, and Lena's efforts to untangle her own complicated life story. Was she abandoned as an infant and raised by apes? Why didn't her foster parents ever adopt her? Is someone trying to kill her, and how does it all fit together? Although initially she appears mentally fragile and passive, Lena grows considerably as the story unfolds, becoming more assertive and comfortable with her own talents – including an extraordinary sense of smell and the uncanny ability to read a crime scene. She also finds some needed closure about her own childhood that allows her to make peace with her foster parents and put her private demons to rest.
Given the current interest in police and crime investigation stories, one could almost picture Lena as the main character in a new television show, the camera following her on quixotic solitary journeys around frozen Syracuse as she and her police buddies solve equally baffling public and private mysteries. Of course, a sequel would be equally fulfilling.

More Tech Start-Ups Call It Quits
As Funding Dries Up, Fledgling Silicon Valley Firms Are Shutting Down; Fears of Chill on Innovation
The deepening recession is speeding up the shakeout in Silicon Valley, forcing droves of start-ups to shut down or sell themselves at fire-sale prices.
Many start-ups survived last year by slashing costs and deferring development projects. But as demand for their products continues to deteriorate and funding dries up, these young firms are now running out of lifelines. Many are calling it quits, recalling the dot-com bust earlier this decade....

Take action on new surveillance bill
The Home Secretary Theresa May announced a new surveillance law last week. The draft Investigatory Powers Bill (IPB) brings more legal transparency but could actually increase mass surveillance in this country. Immediately after the Home Secretary announced her Bill, Andy Burnham – her opposite number in the Labour party – spoke positively about the Bill. He welcomed the… Continue reading »

Lovingly post-produced using Photoshop. See the 'before' image down below.
I love Photoshop and Lightroom. They are excellent programs and do wonders. I have even come to accept that software developers had to change to a subscription model or they would be out of business - and if they are out of business, where would that leave us when we needed their support or something new?
So, for $9.99 a month (in Australia, in Australian dollars), I can get great access to great software (Photoshop and Lightroom). It's a very reasonable price, so what am I complaining about?
Gripe 1. I wasn't being charged $9.99 a month. My credit card statement showed $10.28 a month. If you look at the Adobe website, it clearly says $9.99 in Australian currency. So why the difference?
Look a little closer on the Australian website and it says there is no GST in the transaction. This indicates that I am purchasing the software offshore (Ireland I believe). So, not only is no GST being collected in Australia, my credit card provider is adding on 29 cents because it is an international transaction. It's a small thing, I know. I have called Adobe a couple of times and on one occasion they denied it, on another they said it was tax. On neither occasion was their chat service correct.
I received an email on 11 October saying my subscription would expire on 12 October. As I have a second subscription to the Adobe suite (for Indesign, Dreamweaver etc), I no longer need this Photoshop subscription, so I decided to cancel it.
Gripe 2: It was difficult to cancel. I couldn't just log into my Adobe account and tick a box. In fact, it was a challenge for me to work out exactly how to cancel at all! Easy to subscribe, hard to leave. I discovered that I have to use the telephone or a chat service - in all I spent 20 minutes closing my subscription.
Gripe 3: All this happened on 12 October and then on 13 October, I have been charged a futher $10.28 for the subscription!
So, gentle reader - no GST, extra bank fees, difficult to leave and overcharged - what do I do?
This is the file processed out of Capture One before moving into Photoshop. Most of the heavy lifting has already been done, but to fitness the mask for the water, I find Photoshop the easiest to master.

News Release
CHET Outfitters President Ellie Davis presents
$1,600 to Jabin Burnworth of The Firehouse
Manchester College mock student corporation puts its profits
toward revival of The Firehouse
A Manchester College business class is setting its students on the path of corporate philanthropy even before they enter the real business world. On May 14, In the middle of finals, students in BUS-474 Case Studies in Business suited up to present the profits of their mock corporation to a local youth hangout very much in need.
On May 14, CHET Outfitters presented a check for more than $1,600 to The Firehouse, a free music venue for area youth that has hosted indie rock bands and local garage bands. Last July, the roof of the former fire station in downtown North Manchester collapsed under heavy rains. The structure was destroyed, the music silenced. Community volunteers are giving their backs and money to the rebuilding.
"We chose The Firehouse because it is a great community resource in need," said senior Ellie Davis, president of CHET Outfitters, whose "employees" sold T-shirts, mugs, fleece blankets and shorts.
It's a tradition: Students in Professor Tim Ogden's class annually create a complete corporation with product, marketing, human resources, accounting and volunteer divisions. Most of the student employees are seniors who will collect bachelor's degrees this Sunday in marketing, accounting or management.
"You are now a part of The Firehouse," Jabin Burnworth, one of The Firehouse creators, told the 2008 Case Studies students at the May 14 check presentation. "This will help," said Burnworth. "When the roof collapsed last summer, it was a horrible situation. We thought, 'This is it, this is all over' (for The Firehouse)."
CHET Outfitters philanthropy extended to 544 hours assisting at retirement homes, schools, churches, animal shelters and campus events, said senior Jaci Simmons, who managed the Volunteer Services Division.
Manchester College, with a reputation for its high first-time pass rates on the CPA exam and high job placement rates, offers a bachelor's degree in
accounting, management, marketing, finance and general business. For more about the college, visit www.manchester.edu

There's something highly rewarding about being there when a key reviewer experiences a Bowers & Wilkins product for the first time.
Especially when that product is something as special as the DB1 subwoofer. And even more so when it's a demonstration that makes abundantly clear an element of a product that may not be immediately obvious.
In the case of the DB1 it is the subwoofer's ability to add to the depth of experience in a traditional stereo system. The 805 Diamonds offer a wonderfully rich, incredibly detailed presentation of any kind of music you care to play through them. But adding a DB1 to the mix not only adds – as you would expect – extra depth at the lower end, it also does wonderful things to the clarity of an orchestra, and even the way a female vocal is delivered.
So while we believe the DB1 is the last word in home theatre subwoofers, that's only half the story. Put it in the audiophile's dream take on a 2.1 system, and its benefits have to be heard to be believed.

Serenity was Number 2 at the box office this weekend, raking in an estimated $10.1 million.
A few commentators says it's a "tepid" opening, "one of the year's biggest flops" and that it "pretty much kills off the Firefly/Serenity universe." I guess box office numbers are another thing I don't understand. As I read the numbers, Serenity (1) was the biggest grossing new movie of the weekend, (2) pulled in more per theater than the weekend's top-grossing movie, Flight Plan, and (3) had a bigger box office than the highly praised A History of Violence in its first two weeks (although that movie was on fewer screens and in very limited release its first week).
Of course, I'm sure the Big Damn Heroes won't let their Big Damn Movie go down without a fight.
Can I suggest something that doesn't involve violence, or is this the wrong crowd for that?

WASHINGTON -- It has taken seven months to get the date set, but George Bush is finally headed to Moscow tomorrow, with an arms-control treaty tucked under one arm and a "new agenda" for U.S.-Soviet relations under the other.
The ceremonial anchor of his two-day Moscow meeting with Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev will be the signing of a landmark agreement that for the first time reduces U.S. and Soviet arsenals of strategic nuclear arms -- primarily ballistic missiles.
Snags in the final months of nine years of negotiating the new weapons limits and verification procedures, as well as what the United States considered to be Soviet backsliding on other issues, delayed what was to have been a snowy session in January until just days before President Bush is due to go on a monthlong summer vacation in Maine.

The ban on YouTube in Pakistan has been lifted after Google agreed to launch a localised version that would allow the government to remove any material that it deemed to be offensive.
In September 2012, the country banned the video streaming site after an anti-Islam film, 'Innocence of Muslims' was uploaded.
The film subsequently sparked violent protests across major cities in the Muslim country with a population of 190 million people.
Under the new version of YouTube, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) can ask for access to offending material to be blocked.
"On the recommendation of PTA, the government of Pakistan has allowed access to the recently launched country version of YouTube for internet users in Pakistan," said the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom.
Although Google has conceded to blocking access to material deemed offensive by the government, it would not automatically remove material from the site and any takedown requests would be subject to review in a similar fashion to how YouTube is run in other countries.
In addition, requests from the government to remove content would be reported publicly.
"We have clear community guidelines, and when videos violate those rules, we remove them," Google said.
"Where we have launched YouTube locally and we are notified that a video is illegal in that country, we may restrict access to it after a thorough review."
The Pakistani government has a history of controlling the spread of information on the internet, with thousands of websites blocked in the last few years.
In December, BlackBerry announced it was pulling out of the country after the government demanded access to the encrypted communications of its users.

By today's standards, it is pretty well-understood that governance is a critical success factor for enterprise SOA initiatives. And there is already a considerably saturated/consolidated market providing the SOA governance solutions (see Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Integrated SOA Governance Technology Sets, 2007, Forrestor's SOA Service Life-Cycle Management Q1 2008, and SOA Governance Conference 5 for some content from HP, IBM, Progress Software, and SOA Software).
A quick glance over the product features and discussions finds that the SOA governance tools in the market today focus on a set of key capabilities:
- Design-time lifecycle management (contracts & metadata & artifacts management, change & reporting notification plus automation, QA and test automation, dependencies mapping, policy compliance auditing, etc.)
- Run-time lifecycle management (versioning, decommissioning, monitoring & reporting, change deployment management, usage and exceptions metrics collection, policy compliance enforcement, etc.)
- Security and access control (policy-driven fine-grained service authorization)
- Integration with service infrastructure (ESB, identity management, single sign-on, MDM, service registries, metadata repositories, PKI, etc.)
Just one way of categorizing the capabilities. Most vendors have their own ways of categorizing/describing these products, and some provide more built-in features. These capabilities are quite advanced and do address a wide range of governance needs. And then there is another set of products that aims to address SOA testing and automation needs.
How to Validate Incremental Changes Deployed to a Live, Real-Time, Inter-Connected, and Inter-Dependent Distributed Architecture?
The SOA governance tools support this from the perspective of making sure services are developed in compliance to policies and defined contracts, then managed in runtime after deployment and release. The SOA testing tools support this from managing and automating test efforts against component-based service deployments. However, there seems to be a considerable gap in terms of validating and managing changes in an enterprise SOA environment.
A closer look uncovers many tough questions:
- How do we validate changes in an SOA where a set of (sometimes hundreds of) physically distributed systems and services have been managed and governed into one logical/virtual entity? Specifically, how do we ensure a particular change being released into the live production environment won't break anything else, which often are other connected mission-critical systems that are running concurrently, based on traditional multi-staging change management strategies?
- Do we trust that changes verified in a QA environment will behave exactly the same in production? If so, is the QA environment an exact replica of production, including the operational data that processing logic depends on?
- Do we just "unit test" the service components associated with a unit of change, or do we work with other teams to conduct a full integration test in QA? And in an integration test, is the whole virtual enterprise involved, or just the directly connected system components?
- How do we ensure that downstream components connected in multi-part, distributed transactions are not impacted if we don't conduct integration tests on everything?
- How do we ensure that the QA environment is pristine and how do we coordinate among multiple team's project schedules, which are often more different than similar?
- In a highly inter-connected and inter-dependent environment, how do we manage the worst-case scenario where hundreds of service components are impacted by a change?
- If change verification/testing in production is allowed, how do we facilitate synthetic transactions so that actual production data is not interfered by test cases?
SOA Requires Different Methods of Managing Changes
Well that's obvious, right? 🙂 But fundamentally it probably requires a different way of thinking too. For example, traditional multi-staging change migration strategies (dev, test, QA, staging/regression, prod, etc.) don't lend themselves very well anymore as they were more effective at managing changes that are more autonomous and local in nature. Now that changes are inter-related and inter-dependent, and often impacting a high number of systems not under any one team's management, full integration tests may mean coordinating schedules, code/data versions, security, etc. all bundled into one massive enterprise-wide test. Which would be too difficult and complex to undertake on a regular basis, and as a result what happens to the agility SOA was intended to deliver?
The SOA governance tools today address this change management need mainly via service lifecycle management, so that newer versions of services can be deployed with minimal initial dependencies. Then over time consumers can be migrated over from the older versions in their own independent schedules, and eventually the older versions can be decommissioned once no one is using them anymore. However, it isn't always that applications can support multiple versions of the same service (and best practices on when a new version is required as opposed to hot fixes is still unclear), or the trade-offs in management costs may not justify doing so.
And is the only effective solution to manage changes in an SOA environment, to implement SOA governance tools? Tools are tools, and they do help, but often they also bring a layer of complexity as well. And governance tools are best suited to support specific processes defined in specific architectures; they don't actually solve problems in this area, as the problems are due to the collective processes and systems bound together in an SOA. Thus, well-defined processes and architectures are still required, then tools can be used for automation and enforcement.
Build Layers of Encapsulation and Abstraction Into an SOA
This concept is markedly different from the initial intention of transforming a disconnected and silo'ed enterprise into one seamless entity. But basically, one massive logical SOA may actually be more difficult to manage, than a set of smaller localized/partitioned SOA's federating as one. Even though more costly from an infrastructure perspective, there are many benefits to this approach (especially for larger enterprise environments):
- Layers of abstraction/encapsulation provide boundaries where changes can be localized instead of being required to be verified against the entire end-to-end architecture
- Allows for shrinking and localizing the scope of impacted components in integration tests, into smaller and more discrete units which become easier to coordinate and schedule between smaller number of involved teams
- Still not effective at addressing changes that impact a high number of systems, but smaller and localized changes no longer have to be tied up and wait for the "big test" to complete, to be released
- Over time, the entire architecture is re-validated
- From a security perspective, this supports defense in depth
ESB vendors will like this, as these products are the most effective solutions to build in layers of encapsulation/abstraction into an SOA. But there are many different kinds of ESB's in the market. Point is, from an enterprise architecture perspective, we really don't need to migrate to a full centralization model when implementing an SOA. A model where local SOA's federate into one enterprise SOA may work out better, providing sufficient local autonomy (type of ESB, local governance, etc.) while coherently organizes the enterprise into one logical entity, and likely higher scalability, reliability, and agility.
Also, data integration/replication, even though often cited as a major anti-pattern in SOA, when applied appropriately, is often an effective way to add a layer between different systems, when an encapsulation layer is preferred. Basically, inter-dependencies are minimized if there are no distributed transactions binding systems together at the process level.
A Different Process-Oriented Approach
A resulting SOA validation strategy is to have a centralized management of integration testing schedule in the enterprise QA environment, so that at any one point in time, only one set of changes is being validated. As a result, most integration tests should occur in localized groups and at more discrete intervals/schedules, as opposed to trying to get everyone to undergo validation at the same time, or cause people to run over each other with conflicting changes.
Thus there are three testing models: unit test, localized integration test, and full integration test. Full integration tests are usually preferred (perceived to be more accurate and comprehensive), but also too cost-prohibitive to undertake. The best trade-off is localized integration tests performed at more discrete and distributed schedules, as each validation can assume it's done in a pristine environment, and logically the entire architecture is re-validated over time.
In addition, from a SLA or security management perspective, systems are often categorized into different criticality tiers. In an ideal SOA where everything is connected to everything, it shouldn't mean that everything is now molded into the same tier. Consequently, different strategies can be devised to re-validate systems in different tiers. For example, only require unit test for systems in lower tiers.
The enterprise perspective can be that, all three types of tests are done; it's just management effort that is required. For example, a full integration test can be scheduled on a quarterly basis, while localized integration tests are used to release regular changes.
SOA Change Management Requires a Multi-Faceted Approach
There are still some areas where the current set of SOA governance and testing tools don't address very well. It's not that these products lack maturity; it's just some issues are inherent in distributed computing and are created by the collection of design decisions, processes and methodologies, and technologies implemented in an SOA (which obviously, can be different for each organization). The SOA governance solution vendors themselves state that governance is a people-oriented process.
Thus, when architecting SOA governance, additional thought needs to be placed in these areas, in a change management context, and integrated into many different aspects of an SOA, leveraging an integrated approach across people, processes, and technologies.

Where I got it: I got this from Sass.com. I have purchased this previously and I loved it. This is my 3rd bottle! This is about NZD$14.50 on Sasa.com.
What I got: This is a 150ml pump bottle of cleansing oil be Aquamoist with hyaluronic acid. It works best with dry hands, but it also works with wet hands. The cleansing oil goes deep into skin and melts dirt and makeup in a flash, while hyaluronic acid retains the skin's natural moisture level.
How I find it: I have been using cleansing oil for over as long as I can remember to effectively and easily remove makeup. I use about 2-3 pumps of this cleansing oil on my dry hands, rub it between my palms and massage the oil all over my face and my eyes. The oil is smooth, but not thick and feels silky on my skin. After about a minute of gentle massaging, I wet my hands to make the cleansing oil into a milky consistency, then I massage my wet hands all over my skin, working the makeup off. After working it off a little, I rinse it all off with luke warm water. Then I use my normal facial cleanser to wash off the remaining dirt and grime all over my face.
Overall: As this is already my third bottle, you can see that I really like it. It has a pump bottle, it is really affordable and it is highly effective and effortless. It removes all my long-wearing foundation (i.e. Estee Lauder Double Wear), liquid eyeliner, waterproof mascara (so far, all of my mascaras, except the Loreal Telescopic waterproof mascara – this stuff is tough!), blush, etc. It really does not leave my skin too dry and it also doesn't make my skin feel greasy and oily. I have been using this for about 2 months and I am close to finishing it (I use it nearly every night).

Hey mom, DadI have one more week before the end of my mission. I have seen the hand of the lord so much over the past two years. I dont think that I could ask for more from him. I have seen the differences that his atonement has made in my life. I had the oppurtunity to bear my testimony on monday to my zone before I went home, to really leave something with them. I think overall my testimony has defintely grown. There have been a few ways specifically, well a few things that my testimony has grown in. I know with my whole heart that the priesthood is real. I have seen the blessings given to me and given by me to other people and the words that come out are not mine. They come directly from our loving heavenly father. I have found that there is no other way to reach the Celestial kingdom than by following the principles of the gospel. And the main point that keeps the people on the right track is the Book of Mormon. I have read the book of mormon so many times on my mission and really studied the doctorine and I have found the truthfulness for myself, time and time again. I know that Joseph Smith said right, that a man will grow closer to god Through the Book of Mormon than any other book in the world. That is something that I tell people and they criticize me for it, but I know that its true. I know that there is no better book on the earth that can help you come closer to Christ. I have tried it, I have grown so much closer to god, reading that book and putting in practice the things that I have learned. I have seen the people change as well...not just me, and that is the best part. I know that it is a true book from God. Bringing me to another point, Prayer is the phone for us to speak with our heavenly father. I have had some great talks with him. I have really poured out my heart to him, and I know that he speaks with us. I have recieved much revelation personal for my life, and what I should do with it. My patriarchal blessing is my best friend. I love reading it, and trying to get something more from it. God really does love us. That is something that I have come to know. I now have an extremely testimony of all the things that we were weak before. But most of all, I know the Atonement was for us. That Christ really suffered for us. So that we can overcome our problems, sins and weaknesses. I am so grateful for that. I could not ask for more.
I love you guys. This is it.

We have been called "village idiots", "imbeciles", "fools", "sub-humans" and "retards". We have been thrown to the wolves, incarcerated in prisons and institutions, abused and even murdered in foster homes, rooming houses and streets across the country. We have been feared and misunderstood for centuries. We are people with intellectual disabilities. This film – "'The 'R' Word - but names will always hurt you'" – chronicles the incredible struggles of people with intellectual disabilities and their families to be recognized and treated as fully human with the same rights as anyone else in society. Beginning with a brief examination of the history of their oppression, we see how the fears and superstitions of the middle ages, with their creation and isolation of the "village idiot", culminate in the policies of Hitler and the eugenics movement. And how vulnerable these beginnings have left people with intellectual disabilities right up to the present day. We do this by revealing personal histories over three generations - of families and individuals, their incredible stories of courage, vulnerability and love. The film will also look at the not so pretty side, where individuals are abandoned and neglected by family and society left to suffer and die in isolation.
We come out of these stories with a new understanding of the urgency to create conditions where all people can maximize their potential without fear of discrimination and dehumanization and how that process in turn makes us all more fully human.

A daily look at Tim Tebow's time in Cortland:
7:50 a.m.: Tebow takes the field. Mark Sanchez follows a few minutes later.
8:10 a.m.: The quarterbacks spend much of the next hour working in various individual drills before full team drills begin.
9:07 a.m.: All of the defensive players watching from the side start yelling "Pass!" when Tebow checks out of a play at the line. He drops back to pass, then draws a big cheer when he tucks the ball and scrambles.
9:31 a.m.: Tebow misses out on a chance to complete a long pass down the field when WR Chaz Schilens drops a pass that hits him in the hands.
9:46 a.m.: Tebow tries to go deep down the middle to TE Dedrick Epps, but overthrows him and is nearly picked off. Safety LaRon Landry lays out for it, but can't hang on.

"The 'Tony Musulin for president' Facebook page features such tongue-and-cheek comments as 'he can certainly solve the crisis with 11.6 million' while members of the 'Tony Musulin fan club' said he was a 'hero' for his 'no guns, no violence' approach.

Objections to Muslim cemetery in Catherine-de-Barnes village
People living in a West Midlands village have objected to plans to build a 4,000-plot Muslim cemetery.
Solihull council said it had received "a number" of letters against the plans for the burial ground at Catherine-de-Barnes, near Solihull.
Local people said the development was inappropriate and would cause traffic problems in the village, which has a population of about 600.
More than 900 people have signed a petition against it, campaigners said.
Councillor Bob Sleigh, who represents the area, said there was enough space for burials at the two main cemeteries in Solihull Borough, Widney Manor and Woodlands.
'Distinctive character'
He said: "There is already provision to meet the needs of the Muslim Community because Widney Manor has capacity up until 2023 and has a separate area for Muslim burials.
"The objections are in principle about the fact this would be built on greenbelt land. People want to protect the distinctive character of the village."
Dr Issam Ghannan, who is an Imam in Solihull, said there was an ageing Muslim population in the area and burial plots were filling up.
He said: "It is needed because Muslims need to be buried in their own section of land, next to others who have the same faith.
"The plot of land is isolated. It's not going to be built in the middle of village, it would not cause many problems with traffic."

Beyonce Gives Birth to Baby Girl
UPDATED: The singer and her husband Jay-Z reportedly had their first child at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
After weeks of false rumors claiming that Beyonce had given birth, the singer has finally really had her child.
Beyonce, 30, checked into the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York on Saturday and gave birth to her first baby with husband with Jay-Z. They've reportedly named the baby Blue Ivy Carter, according to E! Calls to Beyonce's rep for confirmation were not immediately returned.

Several celebrities tweeted congratulations to the new parents, including Rihanna, who wrote, "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih."
Russell Simmons wrote, "congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z."
Fans had been eagerly awaiting the birth of Beyonce's first child. Rumors began circulating more than a week ago that the powerhouse couple had already given birth to their child, but Beyonce's sister Solange quickly put those rumors to rest.
Instead of putting out a press statement, the "Single Ladies" singer announced her baby news in August on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards. She posed openly for photos, rubbing her growing baby bump. She even gave a shoutout to her future child while performing during the show.
STORY: Beyonce Opens Up About Pregnancy
"Honestly, I just felt free," she said of her pregnancy reveal in an ABC interview with Katie Couric. "I really did, because I'd been holding the most exciting thing in for so long, and I just felt like, 'Wow, now I can enjoy and now I can just experience this the way that every woman should,' " she said. "I felt like, 'Oh, I can breathe and be happy. It was a beautiful feeling. ... I went straight off the stage and cried. I hugged my mom, I hugged Jay and just cried. It was a beautiful day."

Prenatal Yoga 101: What is Prenatal Yoga?
Well, if you're an expectant mother then prenatal yoga is probably for you. (Sorry, guys). And if you've given birth, prenatal yoga is a great way to get back into shape.
Prenatal yoga keeps the core strong, helps posture, and can help aid those pregnancy aches and pains. Some even think that prenatal yoga is the best exercise for expectant moms as it also helps develop good breathing habits, which is the focus of Lamaze.
You should expect lots of breath work, a slower-paced workout, and you should also plan to meet lots of other like-minded moms-to-be!

Just announced: Around-the-Town Concerts April 2, 3 & 5
Rochester, NY – One of the highlights of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO)'s 2013-14 season, presented by Dawn & Jacques Lipson, is certainly its concert at Carnegie Hall on May 7 as part of the prestigious Spring For Music festival. One of only six orchestras invited to participate (along with the New York Philharmonic and the orchestras of Seattle, Cincinnati, Winnipeg and Pittsburgh), the RPO will present a concert production of Merry Mount, the only opera written by the late Howard Hanson, renowned director of the Eastman School of Music. It was commissioned by and made its highly successful world stage premiere at NYC's Metropolitan Opera in 1934, and still holds the world's record for the most curtain calls – 50 – at that historic venue. This will be the orchestra's first time playing at Carnegie Hall since 1985, and it will transport almost 300 performers to and from the concert. Hundreds of Rochesterians are also making the trip to support their hometown orchestra at this very special festival.
For those who can't join the fun in NYC, however, the RPO presents Carnegie Hall Preview: Howard Hanson's Merry Mount in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre on Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 12 at 8 p.m. with the exact same lineup, beginning with guest conductor Michael Christie. A Buffalo, NY native and music director of the Minnesota Opera, Christie is also Music Director Laureate of the Phoenix Symphony and the Colorado Music Festival, and returns for the third time to conduct at the Aspen Music Festival this summer.
The Eastman-Rochester Chorus under the direction of William Weinert, as well as the Bach Children's Chorus (Karla Krogstad, director) will also perform at both Kodak and Carnegie Halls. In addition, approximately 20 cast members include baritone Richard Zeller (Wrestling Bradford), soprano Sara Jakubiak (Lady Marigold Sandys), bass Charles Robert Austin (Praise-God Tewke), baritone Keith Brown (Myles Brodrib), mezzo-soprano Ashley Hibbard (Plentiful Tewke) and baritone Samuel Krall (Sir Thomas Morton), along with Anthony Webb, Matt Valverde, Joshua Ooms, Nicholas Kilkenny, Migle Zaliukaite, Trevor Cook, David Gleichman, Anna Bekker, Adam Daughton (boy soprano) and Caitlin Glastonbury (child soprano).
Just announced: the RPO's 2014 annual, free Around-the-Town community-outreach concerts will take place on Wednesday, April 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Monroe Community Hospital (435 E. Henrietta Rd.); Thursday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Greece Baptist Church ( 1230 Long Pond Rd.); and Saturday, April 5 at 8 p.m. at St. Joseph's Church (43 Gebhardt Road, Penfield). Guest conductor Neil Varon will lead a colorful program that features Debussy's Petite Suite, Ravel's fairy-tale Mother Goose Suite and one of Tchaikovsky's most popular and enduring works, Symphony No. 4 (3rd and 4th movements).
On Friday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m., the RPO plays Mozart and Tchaikovsky in Ford Hall at Ithaca College. Once again, Eastman School of Music Professor of Conducting & Ensembles Neil Varon is guest conductor, but RPO Principal Clarinet Kenneth Grant replaces Concertmaster Juliana Athayde as special guest artist. The program (updated since the 2013–14 season announcement in February, 2013) now includes Mozart's Marriage of Figaro Overture as well as his Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K. 622, and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4. The RPO in Ithaca series is presented in partnership with the Ithaca College School of Music, and is supported in part by the Corning Incorporated Foundation.
The final concert in this season's Wendy's OrKIDStra series, Picardy Penguin: Let's Build the Tower of Music, takes place on Sunday, March 6 at 2 p.m. at the Performance Hall at Hochstein. Eastman Community Music School conducting instructor Rachel Lauber replaces the originally-scheduled Neil Varon in this multi-media concert, which also features Hochstein School student violinists under the direction of Joan Kinsella, as well as vocal soloists Laura-Jean Diekmann, Linda Gressell and Myriah Marsh. Picardy Penguin is an adorable animated character created by Maestro Lucas Richman that is projected above the orchestra and interacts with the conductor, orchestra and audience, serving as a catalyst for musical exploration in a program that includes popular classics by Beethoven, Strauss and Bizet.
Closing out April is the month's only offering in the 2013–14 Canandaigua National Bank and Trust & Fibertech Networks Pops Series, Curtis Stigers: Let's Fall in Love, in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre on Friday and Saturday, April 25 & 26 at 8 p.m. Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik conducts a program that features Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival favorite, singer Curtis Stigers, in a romantic evening of classic love songs.
Tickets for Kodak Hall shows start at $22/$10 students; tickets for RPO in Ithaca concerts are $25/$10 students; tickets for OrKIDStra concerts are $15 adults/$10 children/$40 family four-pack; and tickets for the RPO at Carnegie Hall are $25 (travel packages start at $295). All tickets are available in person at the Eastman Theatre Box Office and at all Wegmans That's T.H.E. Ticket! locations, by phone at (585) 454-2100, or online at rpo.org.
The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has been committed to enriching and inspiring our community through the art of music since its founding in 1922. The RPO presents up to 150 concerts a year, serving nearly 200,000 people through ticketed events, education and community engagement activities, and concerts in schools and community centers throughout the region. Notable former music directors include Eugene Goossens, José Iturbi, Erich Leinsdorf, David Zinman, and Conductor Laureate Christopher Seaman; Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik has earned a national reputation for excellence in pops programming during his 20-year tenure with the RPO. With Michael Butterman as Principal Conductor for Education and Outreach (The Louise and Henry Epstein Family Chair) – the first position of its kind in the country – the RPO reaches 14,000 children through its specific programs for school-aged children. The RPO's 2013-14 season highlights include Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik's 20th anniversary celebration, and a performance at Carnegie Hall on May 7, 2014, as part of the Spring For Music festival.

My Feb 2014 trip
On this trip, I visited Namibia & South Africa between 4-Feb-2014 and 28-Feb-2014 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Very good holiday. As it was a trip to the unknown we needed assurance on safety etc. 4wd drive essential. The double cab pickup we had was ideal. Small car option with 4wd not good enough. We had to help someone stuck in the riverbed.
Would have been helpful to have had stopping points on journey pointed out eg petrified Forest. Was very glad not to have stayed at Ludderitz ( did you recommend Nest Hotel ?)
2 failed card payments gone through bank although failed at the time at Fish River Lodge, so paid cash. Will try to recover through credit card company or will be back to you
