A few folks asked for a sticky on this so here it is. If you just want to jump to how without the why look for the blue part of this post below!
Several companies are selling sodium tetraborate pentahydrate as a pool additive under such names as Proteam's Supreme, Bioguard's Optimizer Plus, Poollife Endure, Guardex Maximizer, and others. Several claims have been made for these products when used in a 30-50 ppm concentration such as:
1) more stable pH
2) Algaestatic properties
3) reduced chlorine usage
4) silkier feeling water--less skin and eye irritation
5) clearer, 'sparkling' water
Do these products live up to the claims made for them?
A definite YES!
Remember that all pools are different so you might see dramatic results or just a slight improvement. There are a lot of other factors that come into play. Do borates help simplify pool maintenace? Another definite YES!
Are there any downsides to adding borates?
I can only think of two.
1) They are an additional expense
2) There has been some concern of toxicity if dogs drink large quantities of water from the pool.
I do have to say that most people find that their pools become much easier to maintain once the borates are in and several people on the PoolForum board have reported that since adding borates they have not had any mustard algae outbreaks.
As far as dogs (or people) ingesting small amounts of pool water, that's not going to hurt then BUT if you dog things the pool is their own private giant water dish that is NOT a good thing, borates or not! There are may chemicals in our pools that are not really good for our pets to consume in large quantities! Provide fresh drinking water outside and change it regularly and it's pretty easy to teach your pets not to drink from the pool! (I know a bit about this, I have three dogs and a cat!)
Do I feel the benefits of borates outweigh the downsides?
A RESOUNDING yes!
Just remember that adding borates are not going to magically cure your pH problems or algae problems and they are NOT going to relieve you of having to test and balance your water!
They will just help make these jobs easier!
You can also use sodium tetraborate decahydrate (20 Mule Team Borax) to achieve the same results for a much lower price.
Here is how to do it:
You will need a bunch of 20 Mule Team Borax and 31.45% Muriatic Acid. Don't forget some borate test strips! The LaMotte Borate test strips are the best ones I have come across.
1. First, adjust your TA to your target value. (This is actually the hardest part of this whole procedure.) This should be around 70-80 ppm for SWGs and liquid chlorine (or bleach), around 100 ppm if you are using trichlor. The borates will cause a very slight increase in the TA when you are done.
2. After TA is at target value adjust pH to between 7.4-7.6 (This is the second hardest part!)
3. Figure out how much borax and acid you need. An easy way to do this is to remember that 12 oz. BY WEIGHT of borax raises 1000 gallons 10 ppm and requires 6 FLUID oz. of acid to neutralize the pH rise. This is not exact but it's close enough. Remember, we are talking about a pool, we're not making rocket fuel here!
So, if 12 oz. of borax raises 1000 gallons 10 ppm and we want 50 ppm we need 60 oz. of borax for every 1000 gallons in our pool. Likewise, we would need to add 30 oz. of acid for every 60 oz. of borax! Here is an example:
Let's say we have a 15000 gal. pool, then we would need 15 X the borax needed for 1000 gallons which is 15 X 60 = 900 oz. by weight. Let's convert that into pounds by dividing by 16 (16 oz. per lb. or we could write that 16 oz./lb.) That would be 56.25 lbs.
Each box of borax weights 4.75 lbs. or 76 oz. so here is a faster way to figure out how many boxes you need:
number of oz. needed / 76 oz. in a box = number of boxes needed so in our example we would have:
900 oz. borax / 76 oz. per box = 11.8 boxes. Remember it's not rocket science so use about 11 and 3/4 boxes or just use 11 or use 12. You will end up close enough to 50 ppm!
Now for the acid. we need 30 oz. per 1000 gallons to neutralize the pH rise of 50 ppm borates and we need to multiply that amount of acid by 15 since we have a 15000 gallon pool. That comes to 15 X 30 = 450 fluid (liquid measure) oz. of muriatic acid. There are 128 oz. in a gallon so we divide our amount needed in oz. by 128 to find out how many gallons of muriatic acid we will need.
For our example this is 450 oz. / 128 oz. per gallon = 3.5 gallons of muriatic acid. If you follow along on a calculator you can see how I am rounding off to the nearest EASY measurement. Once again, REMEMBER, it's a pool, you're not working in a chemistry lab!!!!!!!! We will balance out any slight inaccuracies a bit later so don't worry. It's all good!
Now take a deep breath, the worst is over!
4. WITH YOUR PUMP RUNNING add 1/2 the required acid to your pool. You can pour it SLOWLY into the stream of one of your returns or dilute about 1/2 gal at a time in a 5 gal bucket of pool water and broadcast it around the pool. As soon as the acid is in put in 1/2 the borax. Just dump it in the water or pour it in your skimmer.
5. Brush down the sides of your pool all the way around. This will create currents that mix everything. You are 'stirring' your pool water by doing this. This is a good procedure to follow when you add any chemicals to your water and want to mix them. Anyway, none of us really brush our pools enough, do we?
6. Add the rest of the acid and the rest of the borax and brush just like you did for the first batch. You don't have to wait, just put it in when you finish brushing.
7. Brush again!
8. Let the pump run continuously for 24-48 hours.
9. After 48 hours (not sooner please!) test your borates. You should be right around 50 ppm. Now test your pH, if it is above 7.6 add a bit more acid to bring it down to about 7.6. If you pH is below 7.4 you can start aerating to bring it up unless it's below 7.0, then you need to add more borax.
10. Test your borate levels monthly. If you backwash a lot you might need to test a bit more often. When your borates drop to about 30 ppm increase them another 20 ppm to bring them back up to 50 ppm by adding the acid and borax. This time you don't have to divide it into two batches. Just make sure your TA and pH are in range then add the needed acid and borax and brush. Check your levels in 48 hours and make any minor adjustments that might be needed. If you have a cartridge filter you will find that you borate levels stay pretty stable (unless you have a leak somewhere! )
11. Enjoy the sparkling water, the reduced chlorine demand, the pH stability, and the algaestatic properties that the borates have added to your water. The 'sparkle' has been commented on by just about everyone who has done this. The water looks almost jewel like!
If that is too much work and you don't mind spending the money then Proteam has Supreme Plus and Haviland has Salt Support. These are both pH neutral products that do not require the addition of acid along with them. They are the only two pH neutral borate products I know of. The Salt Support also contains some CYA I believe but I have not been able to confirm this. They are more expensive than the regular borate products and MUCH more expensive than 20 Mule Team Borax but only you can decide if the convenience is worth the extra expense to you.

Margie Beegle Sales, Inc., is the best estate sale company around. We have been in business for 20 years and we have established ourselves as the "go to" company for getting TOP DOLLAR. We pride ourselves on providing our clients-both sellers and buyers-with TOP QUALITY service. We have rules designed to protect the estates and these are clearly defined on our website (www.margiebeeglesales.com) and we always follow them. We spend lots of time setting up and pricing our sales and doing a lot of research to make sure our prices are spot on. We don't play favorites or offer special discounts to our friends, and we don't pre-sell estates. As a result, our estate sales are GREAT and our sellers-and buyers-are always protected.
When it comes to online reviews, we're not alone in our belief that YELP fails to present an accurate picture of customer satisfaction. Lots of factors can skew the type of comments that end up on YELP.
So what's the "real" story? First, you should know that we are PROUD that we don't play favorites or bend our rules to suit the needs of people who don't want to play by them. We are PROUD that our policies protect our clients and make them TOP DOLLAR. And here in their own words is what some of the 1000's of people who attend our sales every month have to say about our fine company.

Although the days are warm, there is a chill in the air each evening that hints at the approach of fall. I'm back in the routine of packing lunches daily and doing endless loads of stinky laundry. Wrangling schedules to accommodate sports practices and games for both my boys seems like an ongoing topic of conversation. But this year these tasks are bittersweet because next fall, one of our boys will be heading off to college.
I see my sons every day, but I still marvel at how they've grown and matured. They tower over me and are able to carry on witty, insightful conversations with ease (when they're in the mood to talk). Their physical and intellectual growth has been happening incrementally all along, but suddenly it's more noticeable. My husband and I certainly aren't perfect parents, but consistently nurturing our boys throughout their childhood has produced some pretty amazing results.
I started thinking about this in spiritual terms, trying to pinpoint what the keys are to consistent growth in this unseen realm. Here's what I came up with:
Regular Time Studying the Bible
It seems obvious, but consistently reading the Bible is a vital key to spiritual growth. Imagine if the doctors and nurses handed me my first born at the hospital and said: "Don't forget to feed him every day." It goes without saying, doesn't it? Yet, there are many people who proclaim faith in Jesus that are spiritually starving themselves because they haven't made time for this vital discipline.
Jesus explained our need for spiritual nutrients provided in God's Word by quoting the Old Testament: "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Matthew 4:4 NIV)
Few of us look at eating as an obligation. It's crucial to consume food regularly for strength and energy. Yet for many of us, we see time in God's Word as a chore, something we "should" do to be "good" Christians. Others of us view it as a treat to savor—the reward we get once all of the "important" things have been completed. Yet studying the Bible is most effective when we do it daily. It renews our minds and helps us see things through God's perspective instead of our own. It reminds us to root our identity in Christ and teaches us to live in a way that honors God and draws others to him. It guides our decisions and gives us wisdom beyond anything we conjure up on our own.
If you are participating in a group Bible study this year, think of the homework as a tool to access God's Word rather than a task to complete. Don't view it as drudgery like you did when you were a kid in school. Try approaching it as an opportunity to be guided through the Bible in a way that will deepen your understanding and expand your faith. Incorporate your studies into your daily time with God and watch how your consistency leads to spiritual growth.
Regular Time in Prayer
Similar to studying the Bible, praying enables us to share our hearts with God. There are several elements that prayer includes: praising God for his attributes, confessing sins, thanking God for specific ways he has worked in our lives and asking him to help others and ourselves. Communicating with God about these things enables us to deepen our relationship with him. As we spend time in his presence, we show him he matters to us and we invite him to move on our behalf.
It's just like the time my husband and I have spent with our kids over the years. Our relationships have grown and deepened because we've been around each other. We've been available to guide and encourage them through challenging circumstances because they know we are reliable. We've been there to cheer for them when things go well. They trust us and respect our advice (even though they don't always like it or want to follow it). We couldn't have quality relationships with our boys without spending consistent time with them over the course of their lives. The same is true of our relationship with God.
Here is a simple prayer written by King David that you can use daily: "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life." (Psalm 143:8, NIV)
Accept the Invitation
As we head into fall, will you embrace these keys to spiritual growth? Will you prioritize reading the Bible and praying daily as vital for your spiritual health instead of seeing them as obligations, luxuries or haphazard activities? If your answer is "yes," remember the key is consistency. Like watching children mature, it will happen slowly. Some days will be harder than others. And sometimes your good intentions will be derailed. But if you strive for consistency, you will see the fruit of your efforts in time. And when you look back, you'll be amazed at the growth that has occurred in you.

Well, Heeellllooooooooo!
You guessed it! The above pictures depict my very close to being completed "new beautiful bathroom"!
All that is left is to change out the door leading into my bedroom, and put up the tile. The tile will cover the top of the apron around the tub as well as the first 4 inches or so of the vertical sides. It will also go up as trim where the tub meets the wall.
We took it from 11 1/2' x 12', to 11 1/2' x 15'.
And that brings us to the conclusion of the "new beautiful bathroom" saga!
Now, I hope all of you have enjoyed a great holiday week. Lots of time with family and friends, time to curl up and watch old cheesy movies, play board games, and eat obscene amounts of junk food.
With 2012 starting as I touch the floor in the morning, I kind of find myself looking forward to the upcoming year with excitement and a wee bit of aprehension. I have a feeling this could very well be a very incredible year as far as this whole writing thing goes.
It's going to be a year of sending another one of my book babies out into the world to be judged, which is very scary. It's most likely going to be a year where, in order to keep things going, I will need to do things way outside of my comfort zone, yet again. I'll tell you one thing about that, though. The more I do it, the less scary that whole thing becomes. I do it, I don't die, and I move on to the next one. I still get sweaty palms, absolutely, but I don't think anyone has ever died of sweaty palms, so it's all good.
So 2012, here we come! We are ready for whatever you have to offer!
In the upcoming week:
It's back to work. I'm looking forward to seeing my munchkins.
Need to get income tax stuff ready for the accountant. (all together now....yay)
I need to get down to business about getting the next book ready for Hazel. I want to have it ready by March.
I need to check in with the disaster relief people and see where we are standing with that whole thing.
So, as we start out in this new year together, I send you this wish.
May your 2012 begin on a good note, and may that sweet music continue all year long.
May your good times far outnumber the tough ones, with way more going right than wrong.
May any new endeavors bring you only the best kinds of challenges, ones that make you bend deeply, but not break.
May you discover new strengths and capabilities that push you to leave any hardships in your wake.
May your new year bring you, love, joy and peace, in whatever form is recognized by your soul.
May you know them when you see them, as sometimes, blessings aren't shouted from the mountain top, but whispered from a hole.
Now, folks I need to go get ready for my baby sis and her family who are coming to bring in the new year with us.
Until Next Week!
Happy New Year!

With a sudden tap from inside one of these pale green eggs, life begins for this Double-Wattled Cassowary. [img]CassowayEGG.jpg/img] With 5 chicks ready to hatch in this clutch, co-director of Natural Bridge Zoo, Debbie Mogensen is an expert in this field. With over ten years of experience breeding and raising these ratites, Natural Bridge Zoo will normally have 6-10 cassowary chicks per year, making the zoo one of the largest breeders of this species in the country. To achieve that, Mogensen says she will remove the eggs from the adults and incubate them for 48 days. The removal encourages the adults to lay more. After these cassowary chicks hatch, keeping the flock together can pose a bit of a problem. So staff members of Natural Bridge Zoo, where the birds live, came up with an innovative solution. Using a brown feather duster tied to a string, staff members can lead the flock to follow. "The chicks have been with the feather duster since they were born, so they are bonded with it" the zoo's director, Karl Mogensen explained. "Our success is due to the expertise of our bird staff and the extreme care and diligence in the adult birds' and chicks' dietary requirements," Mogensen said. He said the zoo started breeding these birds because they were unusual and historically difficult to breed. So he wanted to try. The Southern Cassowary is classified as "vulnerable" on the endangered species list and are native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, and the nearby islands of Northeastern Australia. Being a flightless bird, cassowaries are the third tallest and second heaviest living bird in the world; they are closely related to the ostrich and emu. [img]IMG_2152.JPG/img] Mogensen said his wife, Debbie Mogensen, and other staff members at Natural Bridge Zoo spend a lot of time exercising the chicks on the lawn, several times a day or more! Being a "vulnerable" species, Natural Bridge Zoo believes it's important to preserve this species, with responsible breeding programs, to help the species from becoming extinct. When they become juveniles, these hatchlings will become representatives for this species to help create breeding programs worldwide, that will contribute to educating the public about wildlife conservation.

Fresh Faces: Yoo Seung Ho
[caption id="attachment_19965" align="alignleft" width="333" caption="Yoo Seung Ho relaxes for clothing brand MARU"][/caption] Yoo Seung Ho (17) has already accomplished much in his young life. At an age when most teen boys are worried about college entrance exams, getting the cute girl down the block to notice them, and getting their license, Seung Ho is probably more worried about whether or not his new drama or movie will be a success. But looking at his track record, that doesn't seem like a goal too hard to reach. The young actor, model, and part-time singer has been given the nickname of Little So Ji Sub as fans and critics alike have acknowledged his acting skills to be reminiscent of one of the most celebrated actors on South Korea, not to mention their uncanny resemblance to one another. The youngest of two, Seung Ho began his career about 11 years ago at the tender age of six and ever since has been working steady throughout the years.
Starting with his first modeling gig in 1999, for the brand 77016, and then starring in the drama Daddy Fish (MBC) in 2000, Yoo Seung Ho's path to stardom was not just a matter of luck. As a child actor, his appearance in the mini drama could have went two ways. Many child actors either get typecast into roles that don't allow them to develop their craft or just fade away as time goes by. However, casting directors saw much potential in Seung Ho, and he landed three more modeling contracts with Wheat Noodles, Ung Jin Ssing Kuh Bik, and I-Brand. In 2002 he was cast as the lead in The Way Home, and also secured another modeling contract with Afkilla Plus clothing company.
Moving on, he then completed two projects that next year, the first as the young Woo Jin in Love Letter (MBC, 2003). This cute little 10 year-old stole the show, and in the film Happy Ero Christmas, he did the same. 2004 was a busy year for Yoo as he appeared in the epic period drama The Immortal Lee Soon Shin (KBS1) as the young prince and soon to be King, then in the drama Precious Family (KBS2), where he played Park Joon Yi. Finally, in the comedy Don't Tell Papa, his third film to date he played the son of a DJ who, after a one-night-stand in high-school found himself raising a child. By this time, the 12 year-old Seung Ho had accumulated a small fan base, and industry insiders were also beginning to take notice. More and more he began to be put in the forefront and no longer looked at as just a child actor.
[caption id="attachment_19967" align="alignright" width="335" caption="Starring in The Way Home (2002)"][/caption]
2005 rolled around and Yoo landed a double role in the drama Sad Love Story (MBC). This drama was very popular about a love triangle set in the music industry. He played first the role of young Su Joon Young (played as an adult by Kwon Sang Woo), and later as his son. The drama was another huge milestone in Yoo's career and for his work, he was awarded the Best Young Actor Award at the 2005 KBS Awards, which is no small feat. 2005 also saw Seung Ho in ads for MARU, a trendy clothing company that he still works with to this date. In 2006, Seung Ho starred in the movies Heart is.... and My Teacher, as well as the comedy drama Alien Sam, also known as Alien Teacher. Then in 2007, while taking a break from the silver screen, young actor appeared in two of the year's most elaborate historical dramas: The Legend (MBC), and The King and I(SBS). In The Legend, Seung Ho played the role of young Damdeok, the 19th king of Goguryeo, and many fans loved his acting in this drama. Over the course of 2006 and 2007, Yoo Seung Ho was awarded the Best Young Actor Award for the 2007 South Korea Movie Awards, and the Heung Bo Dae Sa Award for both the Incheon International Design Paper Awards (2007) and Korean Children's Movie Awards (2006).[caption id="attachment_19969" align="aligncenter" width="317" caption="Seung Ho is a rowdy and rambunctious bad boy in God Of Study (2010)"][/caption]
Then in 2008, he went back to the silver screen in the movie Unforgettable, a movie set in the 70s about students who get lost on their field trip to Seoul. By this time, the 15 year-old Yoo was becoming more and more of a celebrity within the drama world, and his next role as Prince Chun Chu in the epic historical drama Queen Seon Duk (MBC 2009) sealed the deal. Playing the smart, and handsome Prince came effortlessly to the already seasoned actor, and fans and critics ate up his performance. Everyone was raving about this young man who practically stole every scene he was in. The industry was so impressed by his acting in the already much talked about drama, he snagged the 2009 MBC Drama Award for Male New Comer, officially letting the drama world and fans know that he was now running with the big boys.
[caption id="attachment_19968" align="alignleft" width="263" caption="As Prince Chun Chu of Queen Seon Duk (2009)"][/caption]
2009 can be considered a great year for Yoo Seung Ho as he also appeared in the movies Fourth Period Murder Mystery, City of Fathers, and also cameo in the feel good romantic drama You're Beautiful (SBS). With so much already on his resume, Seung Ho took on another role that, according to his many young female fans, is his best to date. That role would be as in the teen drama God Of Study (KBS2). Based on the Japanese manga "Dragon Zakura", Seung Ho takes on the role of Hwang Baek Hyeon a rowdy and defiant young high school student. Fans and critics love this drama and having just barely begun, so many people have high hopes for this dynamic young actor.
Want to know what all the fuss is about over this charming young man?

Earlier in the week, it was reported that AT&T inventory systems had contained listings for iPhone 5 from third-party accessories-maker Case-Mate, and now we're beginning to see photo evidence of silicone cases, or flexible gel cases. The cases that are beginning to appear at AT&T retail stores are not made by Case-Mate, however, and are showing up without branding, suggesting that these third-party cases may be off-brand, generic after-market cases.
It's unclear if Apple will announce an iPhone 5 with a body style that matches the latest case designs on October 4th. Recent speculations suggest that the iOS- and iPhone-maker may release an iPhone with a body styling that more closely resembles the iPhone 4 and dub the device the iPhone 4S. In that case, it's curious to see why AT&T is already ordering third-party cases for the iPhone 5 as the carrier may be hedging its bets on what Apple intends to do to remain prepared on launch day.
If the latest iPhone 5 cases ordered by AT&T are accurate, then the next-generation iPhone will have a slim profile with a tapered design that's been noted as 'teardrop shaped' as it shows tapering similar to what we've seen on the MacBook Air or even the Motorola Droid Bionic.
The case confirms that the mute switch has been re-located to the opposite side of the phone as the volume buttons.
The iPhone 5 is believed to be announced on 10/4 and be made available for purchase beginning October 14th by some estimations. In addition to AT&T and Verizon Wireless, Sprint is also believed to be offering the iPhone 5 for the first time this year, joining its larger two rivals.

50 Ways to Motivate Yourself
Apart from the 'To Do-List,' I haven't been that big of a fan of making lists. But I stumbled upon the art of list making on Gretchen Rubin's Blog, and thought I'd give it a go. On this podcast, I share a list of 50 things you can do to motivate yourself.


text: Trained as an architect, Bas Princen takes clever photographs of the absurd, surprising ways in which urban development meets nature. With his keen understanding of how buildings are constructed and how the environment is altered in the process, Princen seeks out sites where the boundaries between the natural and man-made are obscured, as he explains: "I go out to find photographs [. . .] in which the artificial and the natural take each other's forms and in which one is unable to see if things are being constructed or destroyed." In his Valley (China) (2008), for example, he photographs high-rise apartments built at the edges of a rocky valley. Flush against the rock and with similar patterning on their façades, the buildings look like a continuation of the rock itself.

(Mecheria. Algeria)
Please, do believe me. I tell you the "real unreal reality".
Try to hear my roaring heart.
And when you look at my body, please do see me.
Whom you build will never hurt you:
And if that's who's to damage you!
Whom you love will never hate you:
And if this one cheers everyone but you!
Can I understand what's up around?
Do I really know when I think so?
Whom you think about won't desert you:
And if this one never cares for you!
Whom you believe in will never bait you:
If it's the one who continually defrauds you!
When you are much more than totally deceived!
When you lose your way on your own path
and become a corpse which dropped its soul!
Whom your heart beats for won't forget you:
And when that's who never remembers you!
Whom you live for never wishes your death:
But that's who moves just to kill you!
Can I tell when I talk all what I want to say?
Dare I unite time and space, as once 'we' would do?

Avram Grant wore his bravest face, but even he could not disguise the demeanour of a condemned man. As he watched his West Ham team eclipsed by a stylish Arsenal in a miserable defeat that captured all the deficiencies of his six-month stay in E13, the Israeli finally ran out of chances to prove himself.
With fevered talk around Upton Park of his imminent replacement as manager by Martin O'Neill, Grant knew the best he could hope for was to watch the last rites of his reign with customary, quiet dignity. Co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold, sitting alongside vice-chairman Karren Brady, observed this capitulation stony-faced, their patience exhausted.
Grant's job prospects had been bleak enough before kick-off, but West Ham's display last night was of an ineptitude to give his employers licence to extinguish them. The gulf in class between Arsenal, who consolidated third place in the Premier League with this consummate 3-0 win, and the floundering home side was almost embarrassing; so much so that when Arsenal's supporters broke into a taunt of "West Ham going down", hardly a voice was raised in contradiction.
West Ham have seldom looked more destined for a return to Championship football than in this humbling. A symptom of the malaise at Upton Park is that the directors appear delusional about the promise of this team. Gold had claimed in his programme notes that the club had signed an "international of some repute": a flattering reference to Wayne Bridge, which the left-back did nothing to justify here.
Bridge suffered a nightmarish start to his six-month loan period from Manchester City. He was to blame for all three of Arsenal's goals, but Grant refused to cite his abject performance as the reason for the result. "I'm very happy with the boys," he said. "The effort was good, they gave everything."
Arsène Wenger preferred to emphasise the attacking qualities that affirmed his players' title credentials. "It was a comprehensive victory, a mature performance," he said. There was sympathy too for the predicament of his opposite number, with Grant besieged by speculation over his likely successor as manager. "I have big sympathy for Avram Grant," Wenger admitted. "The job is difficult enough without problems of that sort."
Bridge was directly to blame for the languid ease with which Arsenal made their breakthrough, failing to mark Theo Walcott as the winger found abundant space on the right to lay off the decisive cross for Robin van Persie. The Dutchman could scarcely believe his luck as Samir Nasri provided a deft dummy, setting the platform for this newly-confident striker to dispatch a low shot powerfully beyond Robert Green.
The fanfare that had heralded Bridge's debut proved premature. But his sidekicks in a hapless West Ham defence were equally at fault, as Julien Faubert scythed down Cesc Fabregas to earn a senseless booking, while James Tomkins wretchedly miscued a chance to thwart another Walcott surge.
Grant bore the look of one whose fate was preordained, shrugging at the shortcomings of his side. Arsenal formed a study in contrasts, as the lively Nasri set up Van Persie for more shooting practice at Green, passing rings around West Ham's back line as he watched a drilled effort rebound off the base of the post.
But the miss was hardly a costly one as Walcott pounced, seizing upon neat interplay between Nasri and Van Persie before bundling in a strike from close range. Bridge's defending was again conspicuous by its awfulness, starting when he played Van Persie and improving little when he fell in a heap in an abortive attempt to prevent Walcott from reaching the loose ball.
Grant also perceived little elegance in the West Ham attack as Carlton Cole, struggling to regain his composure, missed an opening to convert a free header from Freddie Sears's cross. The Arsenal supporters massed behind the goal merely crowed at such misfortune.
Starting up their chant of "You're getting sacked in the morning" towards Grant's dugout, they swiftly amended the refrain to "Getting sacked in an hour." The choice of half-time music, Muse's Supermassive Black Hole, darkened the backdrop to the manager's hopeless cause.
Walcott, occupying a more central position in the second half, continued the torment, befuddling Bridge with a clever, angled run before unleashing a drive Green did well to tip behind.
At least Bridge showed some willingness to atone for an otherwise abject performance, firing in a dipping free-kick that took a deflection off Van Persie to miss Wojciech Szczesny's near post by inches. But his evening was still to end grimly, as he hauled down Walcott to concede a penalty that Van Persie lashed in with an emphasis almost cruel on the helpless Grant.

Everyone's abuzz with the news that Nintendo will make smartphone games, but in the midst of that announcement this week it dropped another bombshell: It's close to announcing a new dedicated gaming platform, codenamed NX, which it will unveil in 2016.
Nintendo auraient t'ils décidés de laisser tomber la Wii U et de recommencer à 0 avec de quoi d'encore plus nouveau ? ou bien de quoi rivaliser pour ton bon la XB1 et PS4 ?
uis sur que c'est une nouvelle consoel portable comme Nintendo aime en sortir une chaque année. Avec comme amélioration... une meilleure résoluton, une meilleur luminosité, 3 couleurs "inédites"
uis sur que c'est une nouvelle consoel portable comme Nintendo aime en sortir une chaque année.
J'espère sérieusement que Nintendo va nous sortir une console de salon capable de jouer leur jeux de portable sur la télé ou un truc du genre. Je déteste les consoles portables mais si j'avais la chance de jouer à Link Between Worlds ou Pokemon je sauterais dessus et ça leur ferait plus de ventes. Peut-être moins de consoles portable vendu, mais probablement plus de consoles de salon et de jeux vendu en tout.
Rough English Translation-He's under strict NDA with Nintendo Japan-Informations are from march 2015, with some updates from june-july-He received a bunch of patents (some of them are publics now), info about what Nintendo is planning and a list of games potentially in development (some of them may or may not have been cancelled), third parties included-NX is a platform, not tied with a single device-Wii U is still in the picture thanks to good software results for games like Splatoon, will still be the main home console in 2016-3DS is a bit old, they're planning of replacing it. Some games will still come out on it, but big projects are being moved on portable NX-With NX, Nintendo wants to create a platform where they can develop software for multiple devices with ease, from the home console to the portable to smartphone and tablets. They'll have a big catalogue available for multiple platforms, with cross buy, cross saves and cross play, similar to what Microsoft is doing with Xbox One and PC thanks to Windows 10 (that allows to play many Xbox games on PC, which is also getting a bunch of ports from Xbone). Each platform will still have exclusive games-NNID is tied to the single device, but it will allow to share details between platforms, like friend list, contents, local coop games, etc. Thanks to the new membership program (the successor of Club Nintendo), we'll benefit from the new Nintendo policies in terms of rewards-They'll show the portable in spring 2016, will be out for the end of the year or spring 2017 max. Specs will be higher than PS Vita but nothing mindblowing, screen resolution should be 540p, considering 720p if costs go down. BC with 3DS was problematic-Wii U successor will not have an optical drive, which will be optional. It will sync with the portable (not obligatory). Specs won't be super high, but close to PS4/X1 (doesn't know how much, like with the portable this is still subject to change anyway). Cross games will look better on the home-Nintendo is focusing a lot on the anti-piracy system-Big focus on the OS as well. They hired people that worked for Google on Android, the guys who worked on the Gamecube OS and Wii U browser are there too. Optimized versions of the same OS for every NX platform (think, again, W10), each with its set of specific functions. Updates will come out at the same time, they're focusing on making the OS blazing fast on every platform-The home console can connect with the portable to send to it its own version of the games you buy, will use the same tech as the Wii U-Wii U Gamepad streaming to do that, or the internet connection-The home will have bc with the Wii U. Gamepad should be compatible as a controller, considering selling it standalone. Can connect with the portable for offtv and bc. WiiMote compatibility is being considered too. As for support, since the new home won't have an optical drive, they're considering an external one. Also being considered NNID/eShop bc for titles bought on the eShop. Seems they're considering digital games sharing too, but this bit is not perfectly clear-The portable will have its own internal memory, which will be expandable-There will be a complete overhaul of online infrastructures, but Nintendo is determined to hold successful operations as Miiverse, extending it even further and making it a central hub for communications by developers and a meeting place for players. It will be even more interactive with the ability to upload videos and screenshots in an integrated system and not dependent on the game-Voice chat and interactions between users will be revisited too, much will depend on the users age though, to protect the minors-The home will be out 6-12 months after the portable, creating the "NX system" that will allow Nintendo to better use their resources in games development-They approached third parties during E3. Capcom, Square-Enix, Ubisoft and Electronic Arts already have devkits. Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Sonic, F-Zero and Metroid are in development, doesn't know if these are main episodes or spin offs. Zelda is currently a Wii U only title due to high development costs, but they can reconsider to have another big game at NX launch-Prices will be low, 200-300€ (for the home?), considering a bundle with both for no more than 500€-Many of these things will be discussed in future Nintendo Directs, which will have a different host in every market if Nintendo can't find a new CEO by october-A new 3D Mario will be shown, along with a new Zelda trailer. Retro moved their project on NX, will not be unveiled before 10-18 months-They'll talk about a new "Club Nintendo", which will be in full function with NX-Considering making agreements with phone carriers in order to better manage applications like Miiverse, Club Nintendo and the ability to purchase software by phone. Some of these will be out by March 2016-Is everything set yet? Yes, but with Nintendo you'll never know. If he has updates he will share them with us.
rumeur La Nintendo NX serait un hybride mobile-console ,je pense qui risque d'être le tueur de la ps4 et xbox one ,console pas cher ,les jeu aussi ,sans mise a jour ,exemple watcher 3 16 go ,until dawn 9 gohttp://fr.ubergizmo.com/2015/10/17/rumeur-nintendo-nx-hybride-mobile-console.html
je pense qui risque d'être le tueur de la ps4 et xbox one ,console pas
Si la console est aussi forte que ps4 et xbox oneÇa ba être un succès
Anyway,j'espere qu'elle sera au moin backward compatible avec la Wii U sinon c un esti de gros fail
Citation de: Yan le 17 Octobre 2015, 14:47:20 pmAnyway,j'espere qu'elle sera au moin backward compatible avec la Wii U sinon c un esti de gros faila quoi ca va servir?ya fuck all sur de wii u :O
Citation de: Quito le 17 Octobre 2015, 14:03:20 pmSi la console est aussi forte que ps4 et xbox oneÇa ba être un succèsPenses pasLes hardcore gamer sont déja trop ben sur leur ps4 et Xbox one avec leur succes ou achivements et leur amis onlineLa plupart du monde qui ont déja une des ces machines veulent pas un autre consolesEt les casuals gamers oublier ca...Trop tard pour nintendo si ils veulent sortir une console aussi forte que la PS4Ils auraient du fair ca vla 2 ans
Anyway dans 6 ans vous allez voir des jeux Nintendo sur vos PS5 et Xbox One 2 (je savais pas comment le nommé celui la )

The above video contains offensive language.
A polling locale for Michigan's August primary elections turned into the site of a political brawl on Tuesday afternoon, as a local political candidate, her husband, a supporter and blogger were filmed fighting outside an elementary school.
Shelby Twp. Clerk candidate Liza Manzella, a current municipal trustee, is videotaped engaging in a physical and verbal altercation with a political blogger caught painting graffiti over campaign signs.
Manzella's husband, Joe Manzella, along with supporter Jean Leman (the wife of Shelby Twp. Supervisor candidate Bob Leman) are also present during the threatening, pushing and shoving captured on video.
Metro Detroit's Shelby-Utica Patch, which posted the video of the fight (NSFW due to language), reported that local blogger Matt Guarnieri parked his truck in front of a polling location at Crissman Elementary School on Tuesday afternoon. He is then shown spray-painting the word "CORRUPT" in red paint on campaign signs.
According to the video, Leman is the first to confront Guarnieri.
"Someone call the police!" hollers Guarnieri, as Leman is shown grabbing a damaged sign from his truck and running away.
Manzella and her husband (in a campaign vehicle) quickly arrive, and a skirmish breaks out. The adults are filmed screaming and hurling obscenities at each other in front of the elementary school and polling location.
The police were called to the scene minutes later. No arrests were made, but Patch says that an investigation is continuing.

What the World Needs Now Is Square Trees
Belgian design collective Draw Me A Sheep notes:
'Round' is perfect in nature, but 'square' is perfect for industrial standard. To illustrate, square tree would enable wood industry to lose less material, to cut easier with machines and to store more efficiently.
C'mon, Monsanto, where are you when we need you?
TreeHugger is all about efficiency, and as one sawmiller said:
"I wish trees were growing square. Things people make with woods are square anyway, and we need to lose a lot by cutting out the rounded part."
The next step would be to breed L-shaped trees so that they could just cut them up into furniture with no waste at all. If they can design square tomatoes, they can surely do this. Draw me a sheep via below the clouds

Wellness Curriculum
I Shine Inner Wellness Curriculum
Can you imagine a world where every student took responsibility for themselves, their thoughts, their feelings, and their emotions? A world where every student knew and appreciated their own unique gifts? A world where students embrace those who seem different from them? A world where every student felt capable of choosing their feelings, and empowered to take control in a positive way in situations that challenged them?
I'm Jill Hope, Founder of I Shine at ishinekids.com, and I can imagine that world. In fact, at I Shine, we've created a unique and innovative school curriculum that is helping to create that world, one student and one classroom at a time.
The I Shine Inner Wellness Curriculum is a 9 month, 34 lesson, character and self-esteem building curriculum that focuses on the emotional and social wellness of children in Grades 3-5. The program was built to allow maximum flexibility for the teacher, so that it can easily be taught alongside the required curriculum.
To learn more about the benefits of the program for your students, please view the video below.
The purpose of the I Shine Inner Wellness Curriculum is to:
- Teach students about their individual worthiness
- Reveal to students their unique and special gifts
- Demonstrate to students how they can take responsibility for their lives
- Show how ultimately, each student can have a positive impact on the lives of others.
As a result of this program:
- Both the classroom and school-wide environment will shift to that of greater acceptance of an individual student's own uniqueness
- There will be an increase in the acceptance of the differences in others
- There will be greater self-awareness and ability to manage one's own emotions
- There will be a reduction in bullying behavior
The I Shine Inner Wellness Curriculum is best suited as an introduction in Grade 3, with further repetition and reinforcement in both Grades 4 and 5. Due to the prepared, easy to follow, and flexible nature of the I Shine program, it can easily be integrated into the existing school curriculum with minimal preparation and impact for classroom teachers.
Based on the data I Shine gathered during a pilot of the program, here are the most significant findings upon completion of the program:
- Students feel more empowered to take charge of a situation and improve it when something happens to them that they consider to be bad
- Students feel more confident in asking a peer to stop when they felt the peer was bossing them around or trying to control them in some way, in other words, bullying.
- Students feel more confident in their ability to let go of a situation where someone hurt their feelings
- Students feel better able to cope if a friend decides to eat lunch with someone else
- Students are more likely to play with a new student at school
- Parents' perception that their child accepts his/her shortcomings improved
- Parents' perception that their child is quick to blame others when circumstances become unpleasant decreased
- Parents' perception that their child now takes responsibility for his/her circumstances improved
"In the I Shine Inner Wellness Curriculum, Jill Hope has created a resilience based educational curriculum to facilitate character building, self-esteem and self-regulation in children. This holistic program provides resources for parents as well. The nine modules are well organized in providing guidance, strategies, lesson plans and more for educators and facilitators. I will recommend the I Shine program without reservation."
Sam Goldstein, Ph.D.
Co-Editor of the Handbook of Resilience in Children, 2nd Edition
Here are some of the most significant comments parents made about what they observed as a result of their child's participation in this valuable program:
- "My child has a more positive outlook on different situations."
- "She holds herself accountable for her actions."
- "My 8 year old daughter lit up when I asked her if she liked the program. She said she liked it a lot and learned how to be a better friend."
- "He's better at expressing his feelings."
- "My child's self-esteem, confidence, and acceptance of shortcomings all improved this year."
- "Stronger sense of self and improved confidence"
- "Self-assurance and problem solving improved."
- "Taking responsibility for his part in a situation – good or bad"
- "My daughter is much better at communicating in a positive way when she feels bullied or wronged by a friend."
- "My daughter's confidence has grown."
- "My child thinks about why they are feeling bad about something, and then thinks about how to rectify it."
- "He was able to communicate his behavior / mood change in a more articulate way."
- "She says she learned she has a choice about being happy or sad."
- There is great value in the conscious breathing exercises at the start and end of each lesson as they allow both teacher and students to become centered and focused on the lesson at hand. The benefits are even extended during class times other than during the wellness lessons.
- The introduction of a vocabulary of words that describe social/emotional situations the students are faced with has been very beneficial. Students are making tie-ins back to these concepts when situations present themselves during the day, and are able to better express themselves and their feelings about these situations.
- For example, when Spanish class was canceled, the students just said "we'll just go with the flow", a concept discussed in Module 4.
- In another example, when a student had a concern about a friend, where previously she would have asked the teacher to get involved, the student now told the teacher she felt confident to speak to the friend on her own.
- The students feel the lesson time offers a safe space to express themselves and share their feelings without judgment, which is leading to greater overall acceptance amongst the students.
- The program offers a good flow with enough flexibility to be easily integrated amongst the other priorities and teaching requirements.
If you are interested in learning more about the I Shine Inner Wellness Curriculum, or in exploring the possibility of integrating this program into your classrooms, please contact Jill Hope at email@example.com.

Things Women Do Wrong In Bed
Every women believes she's great at sex. We know men are always being judged for how they perform in bed. But do women really know what men like? Ever wonder why strippers are more appealing to married men? Do men think to even tell a woman she's bad at something? Probably not since the average guy is just happy to be having sex at all. Here are few things that women do wrong in bed.
Biter: I find that most women just don't know how to kiss. Women have this thing where they think they need to bite and kiss at the same time.
Ass slap: When a woman slaps her own ass, It doesn't get a guy's attention like women think, men are already fully aware of a woman's ass. If anything it kind of kills the moment.
Lazy Lay: A lot of women are OK with just being lazy in bed. This is probably more common with married couples. Which is why married men like strippers the most. The wife just ain't doing right.
Personally I think people have watched too much porn and believe it works in real life. Actually, porn should be used as a "how NOT to have sex" demonstration. So if you're a man you'll always be judged in bed. But if the woman hot for it enough, a man almost doesn't have to perform. She'll do a whole lot more on her own.

Mark Ronson Needs to Pick Better Rivalries
Mark Ronson and trip-hop band Portishead have squared off on their respective MySpace pages, for some reason.
In what will certainly be remembered as 2007's least essential feud, producer of alcoholic chanteuses Mark Ronson and relevancy-deficient trip-hop band Portishead have squared off on their respective MySpace pages. P-Head keyboardist Geoff Barrow took the first shot: "Mark fuckin' Ronson … I think it takes an amazing talent to turn decent songs into shit funky supermarket Muzak." Then, for some inexplicable reason, Ronson fired back: "Grow the fuck up and go back to doing what you did in the early 90's — making monumental music. Then maybe, again, your music will be popular enough to be played in supermarkets, like it once was." Oh, snap!
Barrow has a history of saying mean things about the day's most popular remixers, which seems to be all he's really up to these days, as Portishead have not released an album in almost ten years. Mark Ronson, be more discerning!

Rep. Dennis Lake (R-Blackfoot) has written a proposal to increase Idaho's state cigarettes store tax to $1.25 per pack or $12.50 per carton, according to a Times-News report. Lake, the chairman of the House Revenue and Taxation Committee, stated that the proposal is now in the hands of an American Cancer Society-headed coalition.
"The coalition is still struggling to find the votes to print it," said Lake. "We'll just see what happens, it's their call now."
Potential challenges to the bill include legislators' reluctance to increase any taxes during this election year, as well as opposition from small business. Supporters of the bill include the Idaho State Dental Association and the state's public health districts. The same bill came under consideration last year, but did not make it out of committee.
Idaho's online cigarettes tax is currently the eighth lowest in the U.S. at $.57 per pack. If the bill becomes law, the tax will be the 15th highest in the country.
Meanwhile, a Rhode Island lawmaker wants to cut the state's tobacco tax in order to encourage local smokers to shop at home. Rep. Robert Phillips (D-Dist. 51, Woonsocket) has proposed lowering the $3.46 tax by $1, according to an Associated Press report.
Rhode Island's tobacco tax currently ranks second in the country, something that Phillips believe is driving area smokers to purchase discount cigarettes in nearby Connecticut and Massachusetts, which offer lower taxes. Phillips introduced the bill last year but it did not reach a vote.
Despite Phillips' efforts, not all Rhode Island lawmakers think the same way; Gov. Lincoln Chafee has proposed increasing the tobacco tax by four cents.
Important Note: Prefect look at this site.

Monday's Derrick Rose watch shifted from a sore left knee and disappointed Brazilian fans to a strong practice and an ecstatically expectant hometown crowd.
And just think: Two weeks until the season opener in Miami.
The Bulls erred on the side of caution in keeping Rose out of Saturday's exhibition game in Rio de Janeiro because of minor knee soreness. That racheted up scrutiny on someone who had missed all of last season at a time when all had briefly returned to normal after two strong exhibition outings.

Miss Fortune Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Ok, this build will help you get all the kills in early team fights and make people rage at 25 min. This build is especially nice for a Miss Fortune that is solo mid.
The reason it's so nice is because Miss Fortune is already amazing at farming creep... we're just going to give her a little (big) push!
Get Regrowth Pendant first (no potion) and you will stay in the lane forever.
You should be using your make it rain spell to get creep low, then trigger your impure shots to finish them all off. You can take out a while creep wave in about 5 seconds, which btw is amazing for tower defense early game if you are mid.
At about 1300g go back and get Phil Stone and Berserker's Boots.
Now you will see how good this build is. My best is Phil Stone, Berserker's, Blood Thirster, and Infinity at 20 minutes in. If you have lizard buff and a team that can stun that's GG.
Now I know what you are thinking... why not Avarice Blade instead of Phil Stone? Think about it, wouldn't you rather have lane survivability to keep farming than 12% crit early game? What are you going to do with 12% crit? Anyways, by the end of the game you'll have 60% to crit, that's over half your shots critting. Don't worry, you'll be fine without avarice blade.
For the last B.F. Sword/Blood Thirster sell your Phil Stone.
Also, for those of you that want the facts, this gives you about 700 extra gold by 20min in. If you have twisted fate on your team it's even nicer!
That's it, follow the item list, remember to get Lizard buff, and have fun!

Barack Obama has offered the position of HHS Secretary to Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who has reportedly accepted the position. This was expected: Ten days ago, The New York Times had already reported that the Administration was all but certain to tap Sebelius.
(That the appointment is now being confirmed is obviously a major story that deserves to be addressed today, but I did I write an entire post about what the pick would mean when the Times story came out so I used parts of that entry here.)
Sebelius picks makes Senate seat safe GOP hold, perhaps boosts Tiahrt
Sebelius was the only Democrat with any hope of picking-up Kansas's Senate seat, left open by Sam Brownback's retirement (a recent poll had Sebelius beating Rep. Moran and Rep. Tiahrt by double-digits). her move to the HHS Department all but guarantees that the seat remain in the GOP's hands - and that most certainly offers indescribable relief to the NRSC.
The primary showdown between Reps. Jerry Moran and Todd Tiahrt is now the de facto general election - and that could have major consequences on the primary's dynamics. While they share a similar ideological profile, Tiahrt has the reputation of a movement conservative while Moran can be perceived as somewhat more mainstream. If Sebelius had been waiting in the general election, Moran could have benefited from looking more electable; but the Governor's departure means that electability will not be a factor in the Moran-Tiahrt battle, allowing primary voters to choose whoever they feel closer to. That could prove a major boost for Tiahrt.
Finally: Many Democrats will surely be puzzled that Obama is willing to give up on his party's shot at the seat; if anything, the past few weeks showed Obama the importance of enjoying a filibuster-proof majority. It is very possible that Sebelius had already decided not to run for Senate, and had informed Obama and the DSCC of her decision, allowing the President to pick her without having to worry about midterm repercussions.
A new Governor
Sebelius's move to Washington also means that Kansas will have a new Governor: Mark Parkinson, a Democrat who ran as Sebelius's running mate in 2006. But Parkinson was in the GOP until the spring of 2006, and he held many elected offices as a Republican from the early 90s onwards; he was also the chairman of the state Republican Party! So while Kansas will technically remain in Democratic hands, state governance could move to the right.
This might have consequences in the 2010 gubernatorial race. Sebelius is term-limited out of office in 2010 anyway, so her departure to Washington does not deprive Democrats of her candidacy. Yet, Parkinson's elevation means that the state now has an incumbent who is allowed to run for re-election, and that could help Democrats keep the governorship. Fortunately for the GOP, it looks like the race will still be an open: Parkinson declared in early January that he would not run for any office next year. Might he change his mind now that he will get used to serving as Governor and would be able to run as the incumbent? And could he win the Democratic primary given that he was the Kansas GOP's chairman just a few years ago?
A centrist liberals can stand
Sebelius's nomination would increase the ranks of Cabinet centrists, but it would also come as a relief to progressives, who had come to expect the worse. For starters, Sebelius is a Democrat (which is significant, given some of the Administration's other appointments…), and she is far less conservative a pick than Phil Bredesen, the health care coverage-cutting Tennessee Governor with deep ties to the insurance industry who looked looked like one of the front-runners for the position.
Sebelius's ability to awake little passion (for or against her) has always puzzled me, but that is probably what Obama is looking in an HHS Secretary: A wonky, reassuring-looking politician who will ignite as little partisan fire as possible from either side. Indeed, Sebelius has little partisan edge - something that generally frustrates liberals - but she has managed not to develop the reputation of a conservative Democrat. This remarkable equilibrium mirrors Obama's own ideological positioning, especially when it comes to health care (as we saw in the primary as well as the general election): A centrist, but a non-militant one.
Health care will obviously be one of the biggest issues of Obama's presidencies, which means that Sebelius could emerge as one of the Administration's most important players. This could prove perilous, but it is also sure to immensely rewarding - both professionally and personally. (Getting credit for finally realizing some version of health care reform could position Sebelius for bigger things in the years ahead.) And as we learned this week that Obama plans to start pushing for health care reform this year, Sebelius will have to get to work immediately.
Update: The Kansas City Star asks a very good question:
Who will [Parkinson] pick as his lieutenant governor now that he'll be vacating that position? Why is that significant? Because it's the Democrats' last chance to come up with a candidate for governor or the U.S. Senate in 2010.

"I own her. The dowry I paid for her means she's my property."
For most of our conversation, 40-year-old Linus Kariuki seemed like a soft-spoken man, a town councillor in the village of Kanjuu, 90 minutes northeast of Nairobi. But when he talked about the controversial proposal to make marital rape a crime in Kenya, he became loud and agitated.
The reform, he insisted, was not in keeping with African tradition.
If my wife refuses to have sex with me, I will rape her. And then I'll beat her because she didn't obey me. Linus Kariuki
Mr. Kariuki's fury was fuelled by a week-long meeting then being held in Nairobi, where human-rights lawyers from Canada, Kenya, Malawi and Ghana were in a hotel room putting the finishing touches on a plan to alter the status of African women.
Making marital rape a crime is just the start, and there is bound to be a ferocious backlash. Yet even the men in Kanjuu admitted the law would likely pass once it came to the legislature. In Kenya, that may be as early as August. (In Ghana and Malawi, it may take two more years.)
Reforming the way an entire continent treats half of its population became the aim of Fiona Sampson, director of the African and Canadian Women's Human Rights Project (ACWHRP), after she met several African women lawyers at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto in 2002. But it was her personal sense of urgency that made the concept take flight.
"I am the last thalidomide child to be born in Canada," she explained, referring to the anti-morning-sickness drug whose side effects in utero affected her hands and arms before it was banned in Canada in 1962. "There was a culture of impunity in the testing of drugs at that time. So I'm consumed with injustice in the face of impunity."
The African women she met wondered if they could adapt the model that was used in the early 1980s to reform Canada's laws around sexual assault. Eight years later, this winter, they gathered in Nairobi with a group of other high-profile lawyers for the launch of Three to Be Free, a program to operate in three countries (Kenya, Malawi and Ghana), using three strategies (litigation, policy reform and legal education) over three years. The group has been able to get funding from the Stephen Lewis Foundation, the Canadian Department of Justice, the International Development Research Council and the law firm Fasken Martineau. (My trip to Nairobi was also underwritten by Fasken Martineau, after I was invited to speak as a reporter on equality in developing countries at the Canadian launch of ACWHRP in December.)
In the past three decades, unlike in many other countries, the rights of women in Africa have hardly budged when it comes to marriage, divorce and property rights. African women, the litigators said, are treated as chattels and vulnerable to ghastly violence - being beaten or mutilated and denied food and shelter for any manner of infraction.
"They have become the face of HIV/AIDS," said Winifred Kamau, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi Law School, "as women have no right to say no to sex. Family violence hasn't been curbed even a little, and marital rape is legal." This makes it state-sanctioned violence, Ms. Sampson said - a form of social enforcement for married women.
In Kanjuu, six women gathered in the home of Jedidah Wanjiku to escape the sun and discuss the new law out of public view. Everyone here had heard about it on the radio, but most men pretended it wasn't happening.
"Women need to have the right to say no," said Ms. Wanjiku, 29, "but men here have the authority and women have no power at all."Report Typo/Error
