Matt and Ann's got married near Matt's family farm in the heart of the Eastern Cape. The ceremony was at the historic St Peter's Cathedral, followed by a jaunt through the fields in a nearby farm, and then the lovely reception in the Sidbury Sports Club. With family and friends from all over the world, beautiful warm sunshine, and the most lovely couple, so clearly in love, it was a very special day to be a part of.Read More
Rebel's Rus Wedding
This wedding was incredibly special for so many reasons - it was a reunion of so many wonderful friends, in a place very special to many of our hearts - Rebel's Rus in Cape St Francis. Sarah, the bride, took us on many holiday adventures here, my hubby and I came on honeymoon here, and now we were all back to celebrate Sarah and Matthew's wedding.Read More
Willemse Preggie Family Shoot
Tucked away in a little back street in Bedford, these beautiful friends and their simple small town life were wonderful to photograph, but have also been the most special friends over the last few years I have been back in the Eastern Cape. Their home is bright, happy and welcoming, and their garden is an inspiration - green lawns, fruit trees and delicious veggies. It was such fun spending the afternoon doing life with them and capturing a little bit of what their days look like before little boetjie arrives.Read More

Ballentyne Family Photo Session
A few of my favourite shots from a fun afternoon walk on the farm with the gorgeous Ballentyne family. Amy used these photos to make a family calendar for Christmas, what a great idea.Read More
Christoff, one year later
It's amazing how much can change in a year. Just over a year ago I was out at the Lombard's farm on Christoff's first birthday taking family photos and documenting his lovely first birthday party. It was also the day that we starting telling people that we were pregnant. A year has gone by and we now have our own little munchkin, and Christoff has doubled in size and energy levels! I spent the morning at the farm yesterday running after this bundle of energy as he smelt the flowers, mowed the lawn, played with his tractors, pushed his wheelbarrow and ran circles around us. Here are a few of my favourites.Read More
Malamulele Onward
I spent a few days in the Transkei near Butterworth with a team from Malamulele Onwards as they did rural home visits to assist children and families affected by cerebral palsy who don't have regular access to health care and assistance.Read More
Harry turns one!
It feels like the other day that I met Harry, just a squishy little 6 week old baby at a Christmas party, and now here he is, a whopping great one year old just taking his first steps. If you drive into the Winterberg mountains until you are pretty sure no-one lives this far away from civilisation, you will still have a while to go before you get to the Moorecroft's farm. On Saturday the farm house was decked out in blue to celebrate Harry's first birthday which we celebrated in true farm style - food, fun and boerie rolls! Here are a few of my favourite photos:Read More
Emslie Family Photos
Gorgeous parents, doting grandparents, a stunning farm, and a beautifully renovated farm house - little Jordan really has landed with his bum in the butter. When I first met Gina, this boy was still a bump in her tummy and we were comparing preggie notes. Time has flown by and Jordan is such a big boy - I had such fun with him and his family capturing a little bit of their life on the farm.Read More
Saturday mornings with Izzy
It feel like the other day that I did a shoot with the Mikas when Izzy was just a cuddly little bub - you can check it out here. All of a sudden she is an independent little adventurer with a baby brother on the way. Once he arrives, life will definitely not be the same for this little family so Lisa asked me to spend the morning with them documenting a day in the life of their family of three.Read More
Annine's Craddock Matric Dance
A matric dance is such an exciting time and in Craddock, it seems to be a real rite of passage. The streets were lined with shiny vintage cars, photographers and glamorous teenagers all dressed up for their big night. This is where I met Annine and we had fun exploring the streets of Craddock getting some photos with her and her partner. I hope you had a wonderful evening and enjoy these memories for years to come.Read More
Farm fun with the Painter family
What a fun Sunday afternoon spent on the farm with the beautiful Painter family picking veggies, braaiing, toasting marshmallows, rolling on the floor, swinging and herding sheep. This is my favourite type of shoot - documentary of real life moments.Read More
Walters family photoshoot
With parents as good looking as this, let's be honest, Tom didn't stand much of a chance of not being a total cutie! This special boy was born just a week or two before my little girl and it was so much fun spending the afternoon with him and his parents. He was such a good sport and full of smiles despite the long grass and pumping wind.Read More
Bain Family Photo session
Saturday was a beautiful sunny Eastern Cape day - perfect for hanging out with the Bain family and snapping some shots of them. The boys' grandparents were visiting for the long weekend and joined us too. Despite singing, dancing and serious bribes, there weren't too many smiles from the boys but their parents made up for it with their serious modelling skills. What a fun afternoon, and looking forward to seeing this lovely family again soon.Read More
Sune's Matric Dance
A matric dance is such a special night - I'm so glad I got to spend the afternoon with Sune capturing memories of how beautiful she looked! I hope you had a wonderful evening and good luck for the rest of your matric year.Read More
Welcome baby Alex
Welcome to the world baby Alex, what a pleasure to have met you. I met Alex when he was a rather large bump in his mom's tummy. Tara, John, Blake and I navigated the Grahamstown aloe fields for a gorgeous sunset family preggie shoot. A few weeks later and here he is in the big, wide, rather chilly world, one day old, a whopping 4 kgs and just perfect! It was so special to meet this little boy and I look forward to capturing more happy family moments soon.Read More
Midgley family photoshoot
What a fun afternoon spending time with Tara, John and Blake on a beautiful winter's afternoon just outside of Grahamstown. This family of three (and soon to be four) were easygoing and fun, and Tara was a trooper climbing over fences and negotiating spiky aloes with a very preggie belly. Look out for baby photos soon when Midgley #4 arrives!Read More
The Honsbein's in the Eastern Cape
It's been more than two years since I have seen these special friends and since then they have travelled across the world, between South Africa, Scotland and South Korea, and added to their numbers with the most precious Caleb Bear. Vix and Brennan are staying on her mom's beautiful farm near Tarkastad and so we took a scenic drive through the mountains to visit them and snap a few family photos. It was such a treat to stay on the beautiful farm and spend time with this special family!Read More
Baby Immy
Welcome to the world little baby Imogen Scarlet! I'm extra excited to be sharing these photos - not just because of this beautiful family but because they have such a special place in our lives, especially Immy. Debs and I were pregnant with our little girls together and I can't wait for their first play date! These are just a few of my favourites...Read More
Morgan family farm photo shoot
I love posting photo shoots from around and about my new hometown of Adelaide in the Eastern Cape, and this shoot is no exception. Richard and Kate have four beautiful kids and farm outside of Adelaide on a gorgeous family farm - the perfect place for a fun photo shoot. I have so enjoyed getting to know this lovely family, and especially Kate, these last few months and so to spend the afternoon exploring their farm with them was so much fun and I hope the photos show the fun, love and beauty of the family and farm.Read More

(originally published in The Outreach Connection in October 2007)
James Mangold's remake of 3.10 to Yuma, with Christian Bale as a one-legged farmer trying to escort the outlaw Russell Crowe to a prison train against impossible odds, is enjoyable enough, but festooned with limitations. It's most disappointing at the very end, when Mangold tries to pull off two kinds of twists – one psychological/existential, the other narrative. Both fail, for different reasons. A Sergio Leone, say, could have pulled off the former, and would have had the good judgment to torpedo the latter. Of course, if Leone had made it, the film would have been an hour longer too, but might still have seemed shorter than Mangold's. Anyway, no matter what you prize about the Western genre, this movie isn't very effective at tapping it.
I don't remember much of anything now about Elaine May's The Heartbreak Kid, but if it's a mental void, it's a fond one. The Farrelly Brothers' remake takes the classic premise – about a man who falls in love with another woman on his honeymoon – and plods through it in the most formulaic and soulless manner possible. It's peppered of course with the usual Farrelly Brothers' gross-out stuff, but even that hardly has an impact any more. My conscience is clear on this: a few years ago when everyone raved about There's Something about Mary, and its makers were being fawned over in the serious magazines, I yawned about the movie in these very pages. Now everyone's moved on to Judd Apatow. Well, I don't much like his stuff either.
And I increasingly don't like Wes Anderson's. The Darjeeling Limited (actually, his movies generally lose me right at the title) is about three brothers on a "spiritual journey" in India, to rekindle their relationship and perhaps find their mother, who's ensconced in a convent. Anderson's familiar style, defined through distinctive fonts, bright colours, slow pans, action staged at right angles to the camera, and sundry affectations, has the effect of draining the flavour from everything he looks at; his India is just another source of gimmicks and bric-a-brac, presented without a shred of real engagement or integrity. Anderson's self-regard seeps off the screen; you can virtually feel his drool on you.
In the Shadow of the Moon evokes the Apollo moon missions through the testimony of the surviving astronauts (excluding the reclusive Neil Armstrong) and the of-course stunning archival footage. It's fascinating, naturally, and one could easily have wished it to be longer: with the focus so much on the individual bravery of those nine men, there's little consideration of the underlying science or logistics, or the surrounding politics. But at the end, when one of them takes a shot at the current preoccupation with gas prices in lieu of sensitivity to the planet's challenges, the basic point is lunar-clear: the "giant leap for mankind" has dwindled into a sad series of furtive sidesteps.
No End in Sight, directed by Charles Ferguson, is an even more impactful documentary, setting out some of the colossal errors, largely rooted in arrogance and complacency you can't even process, behind the current mess in Iraq. Inevitably, most of the culpable parties declined to be interviewed – the main exception, who at least deserves points for being game, confirms everything you ever suspected about the cloistered indifference of the decision-making process. Other interviewees, describing how the Bush Administration again and again placed ideology and fantasy above all else, are often close to tears. Much as the war continues to be debated and analyzed, Ferguson's film reminds us that full mass recognition of the venality of what's been visited upon us is yet to be achieved.
Richard Shephard's The Hunting Party metaphorically evokes the Iraq war: it's a big but shady concept, ineptly executed. Set in Bosnia in 2000, and based (somewhat shakily it seems) on a true story, it depicts three journalists on a crackpot enterprise to interview, and perhaps even capture, an evasive war criminal; Richard Gere and Terrence Howard (both as dull as hell) are the lead actors. Nothing about the film really works. It seems to be aspiring to be a blackly comic, allusive romp, but is blandly made and inauthentic-feeling in all respects. It holds irritating pretentions to be educating us about shady American foreign policy (again!), and loftily teases us on what's wholly or partly invented. Regardless, you just won't give a damn.
Peter Berg's The Kingdom isn't annoying, but merely uninteresting. A group of FBI agents fly into Saudi Arabia after a huge explosion in a US compound. Dodging local customs and assassins in equal measure, they do the CSI thing for a while, and then the frenetic action thing for a while longer. Movies (and TV for that matter) are so adept now at delivering gritty, multi-layered, handheld-camera mayhem that you just find yourself yawning at spectacles that might have dazzled even fifteen years ago; there's nothing new here, and any five minutes of Syriana (for example) was more provocative and intellectually charged than The Kingdom in its entirety. The actors, including Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner, generally seem like actors.
Robert Benton, who won Oscars for Kramer vs. Kramer and Places in the Heart, is in his mid-70's now, and Feast of Love is plainly the work of an old man (that's a glass-half-full kind of assessment). Set in Portland, it weaves six or seven core characters into an amiable, sometimes poignant story of personal ups and downs; Morgan Freeman is at the centre as a, uh, amiable philosophy professor, and Greg Kinnear is a, well, amiable coffee shop owner who's desperately unlucky in love. Kinnear embodies the film's strengths and weaknesses: it's unusually sharp in positioning his "nice guy" quality as self-absorbed cluelessness, but ultimately backs off and allows him too lucky a break. The portrayals of lesbians, and of young people generally, are distinctly idealistic, as if Benton had never encountered the former, and last touched base with the latter in the 60's. There's some surprisingly fearless nudity in the movie, but no erotic charge (the subplot about a porn movie might as well have turned on a candy floss smuggling ring). But easy as it is to take shots at all this, it's warm and decent and I liked it.
Another old man's film, Nicolas Roeg's Puffball, made a blink-and-you-missed-it visit to the Royal. It's a semi-coherent melodrama about a young female architect renovating a remote Irish cottage, and falling into her crazy neighbours' hormone- and voodoo-fueled orbit. It's possible to see how this might have carried a pretty strong feminist charge in Fay Weldon's novel, but nothing really coalesces here. Roeg works in some of his old techniques and themes, but it's a little bit like watching Bjorn Borg reduced to fiddling around on the ping-pong table. Donald Sutherland, from the director's classic Don't Look Now, contributes a mystifying two-scene cameo. Still, if you're well disposed toward Roeg (and readers may recall I devoted a whole article to him a few months ago), the movie can't help being enjoyable.

text: Off topic 02/03/17 16:54 The busiest hours for small businesses (in different countries) Nikolas Lempiäinen This is a guest blog post by iZettle. Are you an owl or a lark? When do you prefer to work during the day if you could choose? We looked into iZettle data of when sales take place in different countries – and found some striking differences. Is now the right time to move to Spain? UK, you're first! 12.00-14.00 turns out to be the busiest time of the day in the UK, with thousands of chicken sandwiches and Lamb Henrys being sold. Activities continue steadily yet decreasingly throughout the day and evening. Continental night-owls Interestingly we notice that Germans work comparatively even between 12.00-17.00 with the 16.00 and 17.00 as the peak hours. Also compared to other European countries, Germany stands out. The activity is also fairly high between 23.00-05.00, indicating that the street food business is much more lucrative here than in other European countries. Despite sausage being sort of a German institution, we can assume that the döner kebab sandwich makes up the most sold items during. A high number of iZettle users in Berlin – the city that like New York never sleeps – also explains why so much sales take place night-time. The nine-to-five kind of people The country traditionally known for the People's Home and the welfare state has more been a topic of conversation because of its enforcing position as a startup hub today. Sweden has also recently become known for having several larger companies imposing six-hour working days – our findings indicate that the small businesses who work past 17.00 are very few. Is the Siesta still a thing? You bet! From a peak in number of sales at 12.00 the activity goes down sharply 13.00 for an hour's sleep between 15.00-16.00 when the temperature makes any kind of activity way too exhausting. According to studies, napping improves memory and make us more alert – some even say it boosts creativity and productivity. What say our numbers? We'll present that answer in the next episode where we've compared who works the most hours. Peak hour all day Mexico is known to be one of the hardest working countries in the world based on number of hours worked show high payment activity all through the day. As anyone knows who have been to Mexico City, Mexicans are not morning people. Trying to find a coffee at 8 is close to impossible. Taking the metro before 10am is normally a relief compared to the day-long rush hour. Our data shows that merchants start being busy from 9 all the way to 8 in the evening. Who then works the longest hours? We looked at the data and weighted the number of active users each hour against the total number of theoretically possible active users. Did you get it? To get a unique reference point for each country – we created a maximum index level assuming that all merchants sold the high recorded level of sales 24/7. Based on that assumption, the most productive country is – not surprisingly – Germany. Is the Spanish Siesta an effective pause from a productivity standpoint? Yes! Because second out we find Spain! On third place, Mexico! Not only do our merchants work a lot, their peak hours go from 14.00 to 18.00 leaving little room for any Siesta, though a minimal dip can notified at 16.00.

I'm Mr. Brown, and as another new member of team ilictronix I will be writing articles and posting tracks every once in a while.
To introduce myself: I'm 19 years old and live in a small little country called Belgium (the country with the chocolate), famous for being right next to France and Germany. I'm a second year university student trying to become a civil engineer. And I recently quit art school after 10 years.
I like watching TV and movies and occasionally playing some games, but the music's just as important. I don't really have a fixed musical taste, but I really like electronic/funky/dubby/dancy/rhythmy thingies. The artists that changed my life are Kraftwerk, Daft Punk and The Prodigy (I like to call them the holy trinity of European electronic music). And my favorite artists are Dada Life, MSTRKRFT, Boys noise, Mr. Oizo, Busy P, H-man & many, many more.
"Since I'm new to the blogging experience I will start out with one track, but damn it's a bomb" is what I was going to say right now, but unfortunately, no music for now (I have not yet been proved worthy enough to be entrusted with the holy password).
So it's adios for now amigos, hope you'll like what I do and thanks to Jordan and the newly formed ilictronix team (Alex, Kevin, Gymtonic and al the new members) for letting me in.

Remaining games: Hungary v Poland, Sweden v Latvia
Group winners: Sweden
Play-offs: Take your pick from Hungary, Poland and Latvia - probably in that order
THE runners-up from this group would do very nicely, thank-you very much.
Latvia, Hungary and Poland are each still in the shake-up after Sweden clinched their passage to Portugal with a 2-0 win in Poland on Wednesday night.
Put simply, if little Latvia win in Stockholm, in their final match, a game the Swedes have nothing to play for in, they will be shock runners-up.
If Latvia slip up, the winners of the Hungary v Poland game will finish in the play-offs.

Two former gang members decide to endure the painful process of removing tattoos they both once wore with pride. Santa Rosa, California.
"At night I was talking to God and I said, God I don't want to have this on my body anymore."
"Getting my first tattoo just felt good. Like getting a job promotion or like graduating from college."
"He's gonna' look like a monster."
"I figured I'm going to do this for the rest of my life and they're going to stay on my body forever, no matter how old I get."
"I called a couple of friends and said, hey man, I got a 13 blasted on my arms."

"My dad said, why did you get the S and R, we know you're from Santa Rosa."
"I would look at their facial expression and be like man you just think I'm this bad person, don't get me wrong I did bad things but people can change."
"We were posting on the block, getting all drugged out and my friend, he was all tatted up and I was like, man I like your artwork"
"They know who I am and what I represent, it's not rocket science to try and figure it out."

Are you feeling like you could be a happier person but optimism isn't your strong point these days? Well, you've come to the right place.
Research shows that you can actually rewire your brain to be happy by repeatedly recalling three things that you are grateful for.
"Training your brain to be positive is not so different from training your muscles at the gym," says Shawn Achor, researcher and bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage and Before Happiness. "Recent research on neuroplasticity—the ability of the brain to change even in adulthood—reveals that as you develop new habits, you rewire the brain."
This research also shows that happiness leads to success. "People who cultivate a positive mindset perform better in the face of challenge," states Achor.
For the next 21 days, think of three things you are grateful for before you fall asleep. Within three weeks, you'll feel yourself shift into a positive mindset. Achor's research reveals that people's brains begin to "retain a pattern of scanning the world not for the negative, but for the positive first," making them happier which in turn makes them poised for success.
For more information on Shawn Achor's happiness research, please visit Harvard Business Review.

PBS Frontline: League of Denial Seals The Deal For This NFL Fan
I love American football. As a kid I loved playing pick-up games of it in our suburban backyards and touch versions in the street. Our city was cursed with the St. Louis Football Cardinals who eventually took their stinking-on-ice team to Arizona where they still suck, and most of my friends were from outside the area so I took to supporting their teams. My friend Ron H. was from Philadelphia, so I started rooting for the Eagles. But this was the era of the Steel Curtain, so I found myself cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. In fact I liked almost all the football teams except for my hometown disappointments.
After my bohemian period during which I thought American football was jejune and bourgeois, I had fallen in love with a woman who rekindled my interest in the Philadelphia Eagles after we moved into the area. I've rarely written about the sport because I have nothing to say beyond the usual "Go Birds" and the attendant "Cowboys Suck!" that comes with being a Philly fan. After moving south of the Mason Dixon, I have paid hundreds of dollars to watch the Eagles and other NFL teams play on DirecTV every season.
But every season the game seems to lose some of its appeal. Maybe there are too many penalties in an attempt to make the game safe. Maybe it's because I'm growing older and have seen some pretty bad things happen to people. Maybe it's because I'm just turning into a big pussy. But there's only so many times I can see a player get hit and lay motionless on the ground while holding my breath before I begin to think something is wrong both with the sport and my enjoyment of it.
I love the sheer athleticism on display. I revel in the impossible plays just like any other fan. And yes these men are paid millions to destroy their bodies, but does the lucre they are paid free us fans from guilt? We are being entertained by men damaging their bodies in ways we would not do ourselves, or allow our children to do. I didn't let my son play football even when he expressed interest in the sport. At the time I was more worried about a broken neck or ruined knees. That was before CTE, Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease that destroys the brain and is specific to the sports boxing and football. Soccer players don't exhibit it, nor do baseball players or lacrosse players. CTE does not wait until players are in their 70s or 80s to exhibit signs; it has been found in the brain of an 18 year old football player.
I am no nanny. If you want to kill yourself with drugs or whatever, fine – do so just not in front of me because I have a conscience and I will intervene to stop you. That is the way I was raised. For the past few years my conscience has been stirring when I watch American football, and seeing this program on PBS pretty much seals the deal. The NFL has denied the existence of CTE the exact same way the tobacco companies denied cancer caused by smoking. Recently the league has pushed the problem into the future by calling for "more study" just as the cigarette companies called for further research on lung cancer when the Science behind the causative link between smoking and lung cancer was unequivocal. What they've done is criminal but not surprising given the amount of money league owners have invested in the game.
Many of my friends have turned to European football known as soccer here in the States, and while watching the game seems about as exciting as watching a cat lick itself, at least I can watch it without my conscience stirring.
Perhaps technology can someday come to the rescue. Imagine: no penalties, no guilt, and as violent as we can make it. We could watch a true Steel Curtain descend on the opposing robot team and pulverize them, sending bits of plastic, steel and oil flying. Then, and only then will I be ready for some football.

"Today, we are extremely gratified and I can't think of a better word, to announce that early next month, the iPhone 4 will be a part of the great Verizon Wireless portfolio of products," McAdam said.
Sales will begin on Feb. 10 for the general public, with pre-orders starting on Feb. 3 for existing Verizon customers.
The arrival of the Verizon iPhone has been long expected.
After the announcement, AT&T released a statement: "For iPhone users who want the fastest speeds, the ability to talk and use apps at the same time, and unsurpassed global coverage, the only choice is AT&T."
If AT&T subscribers want to switch before their contract is up, they will be facing an early termination fee up to $325. They will also have to buy a new phone.

|400 m²
|Property type
|chateau / country house
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
Fully restaured in 2014, this 400sqm historic villa allies modern comfort and traditional provençal beauty.
Built in the 1850s, it served as a hunting domain for the Château de Pioule until the beginning of the 20th century. The property has 25 ha (=61 acres) of protected land - including a 2ha (=4 acres- luxurious garden around the house - and offers stunning views of the 'Massif des Maures' and the 'Vieux Cannet'.
Artisanal tile floors and an imposing stone façade keep the villa cool even under the brightest provençal sun. There are 5 bedrooms decorated with style and wooden furniture; 4,5 bathrooms, all created by local ceramic artist Alain Vagh ; a fantastic 80 sqm home cinema with top notch audio system; a large and cosy living room. The high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and gigantic fireplaces give the property its traditional Provencal character.
But in the summer, you will mostly enjoy the outdoors, lunch in the shadow of olive groves and old oak trees, naps by the beautiful 17meters mosaïc-tiled pool, and long walks around the pond and through the forest.
If you like to stay in shape, we transformed the barn into a little gym with a rowing machine, a stationary bike, an elliptical trainer, a bench with weights, some pilate equipment and a table-tennis.
For outdoor fun (besides the pool, of course), we also have a 'pétanque' field in the garden.
Horse-riding for adults and children is available 5 minutes away. Tennis court (possibility to have private lessons) available 10 minutes away.
Surroundings include many traditional provençal villages. Saint-tropez is only 40 minutes away. And nature lovers and adventurers can explore the Gorges du Verdon.

10 minutes away from the nearest highway exit. 20 minutes away from the high-speed train station 'les arcs draguignan'.
The Villa was built in the 1850s as a hunting domain for the Chateau de Pioule. When my family bought it, it had been abandoned for over 10 years, but we instantly fell in love with the charm of its majestic stone façade, the heigh ceilings, the 200 years old provençal tiles and the gigantic fireplaces. The calm and relaxing beauty of the landscape, the views over the Massif des Maures and old village, the lush vegetation made us feel transported in a dreamland. We started to renovate it in the beginning of 2014, and tried to keep as much of the original features of the house as possible, while making it a comfortable, modern house that would suit all the needs of a large family. The 2ha fenced garden is still undergoing some renovation.
It is rare to find a place with so much charm and character. We can guarantee that you will instantly be seduced :)
Maison, piscine, parc, hôte, tout simplement parfait. Séjour de rêve pour une équipe de rêve.
Our 4-days stay in Villa Pavillon could not have been more pleasant! We were a group of eight between family and friends and we had a great time in this special property
The House is well equipped, charming and the pool is wonderful!
The host was very helpful and everything went so smoothly, without any problems.
We are looking forward to come back!
I booked at the very last minute for a family and friend reunion week-end (3 days). We were looking for a nice place to relax, be together and enjoy the great weather and food of Provence : this place far exceeded our expectations ! We are used to the French Riviera but the atmosphere of this place was very special. The house beautifully decorated and so cosy, and the pool area is just heaven. We felt so good there we only left the property once to go grocery shopping (and wine shopping to the next door vineyard, excellent rosé!!). We will definitely come back for a longer holiday.
Très agréable séjour passé dans cette immense et belle propriété.
Parfaitement équipée, elle convenait magnifiquement pour les jeux de nos enfants, nos repas et notre repos.
Adultes et enfants ont pu se réjouir de profiter d'une belle et grande piscine qui de plus était bien sécurisée pour les enfants en bas âge.
Même si on a l' impression que le domaine est calme et excentré, toutes les commodités se trouvent à une dizaine de minutes.
Nous recommandons sans hésitation cette location pour vos vacances et remercions encore les propriétaires pour leur accueil, leur sympathie et leur disponibilité.

Legal Status
Proposed Rule
Document Details
Published Document
Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce.
Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comments.
The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) proposes to establish the process for requesting certification of Census Bureau documents (i.e., tables, maps, reports, etc.) and the pricing structure for that service. A certification confirms that a product is a true and accurate copy of a Census Bureau document. The Census Bureau is proposing this rule to create a centralized system for certifying Census Bureau documents and to accurately reflect the true costs associated with certification.
Written comments must be submitted on or before July 5, 2002.
Please direct all written comments on this proposed program to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 2049, Federal Building 3, Washington, DC 20233.Start Further Info
Requests for additional information on this proposed rule should be directed to Les Solomon, Chief, Customer Services Center, Marketing Services Office, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 1585, Federal Building 3, Washington, DC 20233, (301) 763-5377 or by fax (301) 457-4714.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
At this time, there are no standard procedures or pricing policies in place regarding the certification process at the Census Bureau. Certifications are currently handled by individual divisions at the Census Bureau, and the prices charged do not reflect the full cost of the work involved.
Over the years, the volume of requests for certified Census Bureau documents has steadily increased. Title 13, section 8, allows the Census Bureau to provide certain statistical materials upon payment of costs for this service. With the release of Census 2000 data, the volume of requests for certified documents is expected to continue increasing. Substantial resources will be necessary to meet this demand. The proposed price structure reflects the cost of the resources used in fulfilling the expected requests, according to the kind of certification requested. Also reflected in the price is the level of difficulty (easy, moderate, or difficult) and time involved in compiling the certification. The two types of certification available are (1) "Impressed," that is, impressing the Census Bureau seal on a document; and (2) "Attestation," a signed statement by Census Bureau officials, attesting to the authenticity, accompanying a document onto which the Census Bureau seal has been impressed. Customers are to be charged a preset fee, as well as the standard cost of the data product (e.g., report or map).
A certification may be needed for many reasons. For example, parties in a legal proceeding may wish to obtain a copy of a Census Bureau table or map that they wish to introduce into evidence, or local governments may need official certification of census counts and boundary changes.
In order to create consistent certification rules, the Census Bureau proposes the following amendment to title 15, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 50:
- Add new section, 50.50, containing the Census Bureau's certification process.
- Establish a consistent pricing structure.
- Require requests for certifications to contain information on Form BC-1868(EF), Request for Official Certification. (See the Census Bureau's Web site, <http://www.census.gov/mso/www/certification/>.)
Administrative Procedure and Regulatory Flexibility Act
A notice of proposed rulemaking is not required by Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.), section 553, or any other law, because this rule is procedural in nature and involves a matter relating to public property, loans, grants, benefits or contracts. Accordingly, it is exempt from the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act under 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) and 5 U.S.C. (b)(A). Therefore, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act are not applicable (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.). As a result, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not required and none has been prepared.
Executive Orders
This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a federalism assessment under Executive Order 12612.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), Title 44, U.S.C., Chapter 35, unless that collection of information displays a current Office of Management and Budget control number. This notice does not represent a collection of information and is not subject to the PRA's requirements. The form referenced in the rule, Form BC-1868(EF), will collect only information necessary to process a certification request. As such, it is not subject to the PRA's requirements (5 CFR 1320.3(h)(1)).Start List of Subjects Start Printed Page 38446
List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 50
- Census data
- Population census
- Seals and insignia
- Statistics
1. The authority citation for 15 CFR part 50 continues to read as follows:
2. Add § 50.50 to read as follows:
(a) Upon request, the Census Bureau certifies certain statistical materials (such as the population and housing unit counts of government entities, published tabulations, maps, and other documents). The Census Bureau charges customers a preset fee for this service according to the kind of certification requested (either an impressed document or an attestation) and the level of difficulty involved in compiling it (easy, moderate, or difficult, determined according to the resources expended) as well as the set cost of the data product (e.g., report or map) to be certified. Certification prices are shown in the following table:
|Estimated price
|Estimated time to complete (hours)
(b) There are two forms of certification available: Impressed Documents and Attestation.
(1) Impressed Documents. An impressed document is one that is certified by impressing the Census Bureau seal on the document itself. The Census Bureau act, Title 13, United States Code, Section 3, provides that the seal of the Census Bureau shall be affixed to all documents authenticated by the Census Bureau and that judicial notice shall be taken of the seal. This process attests that the document on which the seal is impressed is a true and accurate copy of a Census Bureau record.
(2) Attestation. Attestation is a more formal process of certification. It consists of a signed statement by a Census Bureau official that the document is authentic and produced or published by the agency, followed by a signed statement of another Census Bureau official witnessing the authority of the first.
(c) Requests for certification should be submitted on Form BC-1868(EF), Request for Official Certification, to the Census Bureau by fax, (301) 457-4714 or by e-mail, email@example.com. Form BC-1868(EF) will be available on the Census Bureau's Web site at: http://www.census.gov/mso/www/certification/. A letter request—without Form BC-1868(EF)—will be accepted only if it contains the information necessary to complete a Form BC-1868(EF). No certification request will be processed without payment of the required fee.
Dated: May 9, 2002.

Director, Bureau of the Census.

The JHA informal Council, taking place at the beginning of each new Presidency, is intended to allow for a free discussion on key issues among ministers of justice and home affairs.
At the most recent meeting on 26-27 January, issues discussed included practical solidarity when facing particular pressures from migration flows and how early warning mechanisms could be supportive to such solidarity.
In addition, the Commission took the opportunity to present its new data protection package. The FRA Director Morten Kjaerum intervened on issues such as family reunification for third-country nationals living in the EU.

Allen Wilson Player of Year: Weir meant winning at Canisius
Canisius coach Kyle Husband speaks very highly of being able to coach Adam Weir for the last three years.
He might even sound more excited when he talks about being able to continue to watch Weir's basketball career.
"Selfishly I'm so happy he's at Canisius College because we'll get to watch him for four years," said Husband. "He's just the type of kid — he doesn't care what kind of kid he's going against, what you look like, how big you are ... he is going to compete and he is going to succeed."
Weir certainly did that in an excellent career at Canisius High, one capped off with a stellar senior season that earned him this year's Allen Wilson Player of the Year Award.
Just look at the resume: He started every game for Canisius over the last three years, leading the Crusaders to a 62-20 record in campaigns that always included very challenging nonleague schedules. In Monsignor Martin regular season play, his record was 31-2, and each postseason ended the same way: three straight Manhattan Cup championships.
The 6-4 senior and Mr. Basketball finalist finished with 1,339 career points and 409 career rebounds after a senior campaign in which he averaged 21 points, seven rebounds, two assists and 1.5 steals.
Weir is the second Player of the Year from Canisius, joining Darren Fenn, who earned the honor in 1997 before he also went on to Canisius College. And if the name and this award sound familiar, you are not going crazy: last year's similarly spelled winner is also at a local Division I program: East Aurora grad Stan Wier redshirted his freshman year at the University at Buffalo.
Weir clearly made a name for himself in leading Canisius to the top spot in the large school poll for much of the season, one which it shared with McKinley at season's end.
Talk to Weir off the court, and you'll find a quiet, polite, gentlemanly young man.
Once the game starts, he gets the hardest of edges and becomes downright feisty. Combine that attitude with the ability to hit off-balance, quick-release three-pointers, drive defenders hard to the basket and find teammates for scores, and Canisius had itself a leader it could rely on in every game.
"Even with the schedule we played — I knew we had a chance to win every game," Husband said, "because I knew we had the best player on the floor.
"He's just a nice, shy kid, but it all changed when he stepped on the floor. He'd go from a nice young kid to 'I'm the man' every time he stepped on the floor. The harder he worked, the older he got, everybody saw that. Every body saw him go to another level."
This is Weir's second straight All-WNY first-team selection. Just before the midway point of last season was the beginning of a sort of metamorphosis.
"Halfway through his junior year, something clicked where the confidence just took over," Husband said. "He found that next gear. From there, the sky was the limit and he kept going. He kept working and it kept building throughout his junior year. Last summer, every tournament, every workout, he just took over."
The Division I game requires a steeper set of demands on players, and Husband is eager to watch Weir take them on.
"He knows he needs to keep working, he knows he has to get better," said Husband. "And he's going to do that. We're just fortunate we'll be able to watch it."

Reality Remorse
First the Balloon Boy family fiasco , now this: The reality show Wife/Swap is getting more bad press because 18-year-old Alicia Guastaferro, who appeared on the show when she was 15, is suing ABC, Disney, and RDF Media because she says producers acted "with actual malice towards [her] ." According to Courthouse News Service, Alicia says that Wife/Swap producers fed her lines to make her look "bratty" and "spoiled," and as a result she has been humiliated and taunted at school. Alicia also says that she was not compensated for her time and that she never consented to appearing on the show. She now wants $100 million in damages.
I spoke to someone who worked on the show in the past, who says that families are well aware the show is semi-scripted before signing on. And, as this CNN article from last year notes , "from a legal standpoint, it's not the fault of the production company if [reality show participants] ... find the show to be more emotionally damaging than they ever thought it would be."
What complicates all this is the fact that Alicia was a minor when her episode of Wife/Swap was shot. Alicia says only her mother was compensated when they both appeared on the show. It's worth noting that her mother, Karen Guastaferro, pled guilty of a felony last year because she did not report wages . Alicia's father, Ralph, pled guilty of money laundering last year as well . If her mother signed a contract on Alicia's behalf, one wonders if Alicia should be suing her mother for withholding compensation-not ABC/Disney. The timing of this suit is also curious, as it is mere months after both her parents pled guilty to felonies with hefty fines. "Their finances are poor at the present time," Karen's lawyer told the court in November, according to The Buffalo News .
Potential familial grifting aside, boy, were Alicia's brattiness and entitlement pretty epic. In the clip below, Alicia says things like , "I do feel sorry for people that are not gorgeous people." She also berates her mother for serving her the wrong kind of cereal. Don't miss the hilarious script concerning the other family the Guastaferro's are swapping with - the Boss family. " Ultra-feminist Angie homeschools her daughters so she can indoctrinate them with her feminist agenda," says the condescending voice-over. Wife/Swap might not be a reflection of "reality," but it sure is entertaining.

The Public Authority for Sports (PAS) inaugurated on Saturday, "Winterland," a recreational village in Mubarak Al-Abdullah area, offering a myriad of entertaining games.
In a statement to journalists during the launch of the village, patronized by Minister of Information and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Sheikh Salman Al-Sabah, PAS Deputy Director General Ahmad Al-Khazal said that the aim of initiating the village is to designate the allocated land as a youth center, providing cultural and sporting events.
The village features various delightful games, an ice skating rink, numerous restaurants and cafes, in addition to kiosks that give visitors an inkling about projects endorsed by the country's private sector, Al-Khazal noted.
Similar projects will spring up in other areas in the near future, where visitors will be given the opportunity to evaluate these facilities, he added.

Most Chicagoans would probably agree that getting around the city during the winter is far from enjoyable. But there are some Chicago college students who would disagree; they bypass the CTA or cars for their bikes--regardless of cold, sleet, or snow--and genuinely like doing it.
Kara D'Evelyn, for example.
The 22-year-old sophomore at Shimer College, a small liberal arts college on Illinois Institute of Technology's campus, traded her mountain bike for a road bike when she moved here from the West Coast.

We were happy to report last night that Michigan State cheerleader Taylor Young was doing fine after a scary accident that left her sprawled out and unconscious at center court of East Lansing's Breslin Center during the Spartans' 65-49 win over Florida State.
Her father, too, seemed happy—happy enough to post this image of her prone body to his (public as of this writing, but inevitably soon to be private) Facebook gallery, along with an approving comment on the state of her ass. (Currently nine people Like This.)
Taylor, meanwhile, is wondering why nobody bothered to pull her skirt back down. As for how she responded to her father posting the image:

3ie launches the Education Effectiveness Systematic Review Summary in London, 27 September.3ie launched the latest in their series of systematic review summary report ' The impact of education programmes on learning and school participation in low- and middle-income countries' at an evening public lecture session at the What Works Global Summit on 27 September. The session 'Is there a magic bullet for achieving quality education for all? A systematic review of the evidence', began with 3ie' Senior Evaluation Specialist and lead researcher Birte Snilstveit presenting the main findings of the review. 3ie's executive director, Emmanuel (Manny) Jimenez convened the event and moderated the panel discussion that followed Birte's presentation. He challenged the panellists to explore the next stage in the life cycle of the systematic review and how it could be utilised within policy to improve both participation in and the outcomes of education for all children. Sally Gear Head of DFID's Education department welcomed the findings, expressing the desire to work further with the data to improve policy outcomes. David Evans, senior economist at the World Bank congratulated 3ie for the exhaustive review and noted that there was valuable literature contained in the systematic review which had not been uncovered in previous reviews. Caine Rolleston, senior lecturer at the Institute of Education at the University College of London observed that these findings should be benchmarked in a given country context, with the further work of translating the main messages into policy solutions potentially incomplete until policy makers understood how to interpret the evidence.
The main messages were probed by development researchers from similar programmes and wider members of the public in a compelling question and answer session that concluded the launch event. Manny neatly summaried the debate by suggesting that the systematic review provided the ingredients to make the dish, whilst the policy makers had to be involved in the formulation of the recipe, in order to complete the process. Birte Snilstveit closed the evening by calling for the evidence to be used to inform future policy and address the learning crisis affecting low and middle income countries across the globe.
The 900 page systematic review brings together rigorous evaluation of education interventions across low and middle income countries. It has been distilled down to a 70 page summary document intended to be useful for policymakers and programme managers. The review is also available as a brief, intended for a wider public audience. The findings have been made accessible in an illustrated online and printed format. The synthesised data is presented in a fully contextualised manner and contains a selection of policy implications drawn from the review's most important findings. The graphical representation of data utilised is fully explicated for those without a statistical background and both the systematic review process and the main messages of the review have been captured as colourful infographics, and disseminated via social media.

Where are you from? I moved around a lot growing up, living overseas for ten years in Egypt, the Netherlands, and Germany. I also lived in Kansas, South Carolina, and finally Virginia for 3 years before coming to JBU….so I usually just tell people I'm from Virginia.
Major in college? Biology
Why are you working at JBU? I feel so incredibly blessed to have gone to JBU for four years. The Lord is definitely at work in the lives of people here and He's using JBU to further His Kingdom; I want to be a part of that.
What are your favorite things to do in NWA? Hiking and exploring at nearby national parks. Running on the country roads behind JBU. Cooking with friends. Playing Settlers of Catan. Scheming up pranks. Swing dancing in Siloam Springs.
What's one word or phrase that describes you? People called me "sweet" in high school because I was quiet….JBU helped me come out of my shell.
What are some movies you enjoy? I'm not a big movie-goer but I like The King's Speech, Cool Runnings, and Mission Impossible/Ocean's 11-type movies (the movies that make you think with lots of twists). Kind of a random collection of movies.
Describe your family: My husband and I live in Springdale while the rest of my family lives in Northern Virginia/DC. I'm an MK (well, I like to think that I am :). I'm really a Military Kid (not a Missionary Kid) because my father was in the army. I think that moving brought my family really close together. My 2 sisters became my best friends when we moved to a new place.
What quick advice would you give an incoming JBU student? Be bold in initiating community; don't wait for community to come to you. And then be willing to be vulnerable in community.

In the Trobriand Islands, for example, children have an important relationship with their mother's husband, but he is seen neither as an authority figure nor as a blood relative; it is their maternal uncle who has authority over them in their youth. According to Bronislaw Malinowski, who spent several years living among the Trobrianders in the early 20th century, the father does play a role in procreation, but it is not he who impregnates the woman. Instead, he loosens the vagina in order that a spirit, a baloma, might impregnate her; intercourse stops the menstrual flow by pushing the blood into the woman's head, where the spirit of one of her ancestors enters the blood stream, flows into the womb, and is reborn within the maternal bloodline. The child most likely bears a resemblance to the father, but this is the result of the father spending time with the mother during pregnancy and with the child in its infancy, shaping the child in his image.
Most students in their first anthropology course - and perhaps most of us who hear this version of "the birds and the bees," having learned otherwise in our secondary schooling - might react to the Trobriand denial of biological paternity with laughter, disgust, or somewhere in between the two along the superiority spectrum. One of the things I love about anthropology is that it challenges us to consider these elaborate stories with an appreciation for the human imagination as well as a willingness to rethink the absurd as a truth that is indispensable within a particular life-world. Michael Jackson (the anthropologist, not the late King of Pop) writes of the ethnographer's task,
[T]he alleged rationality or irrationality of a practice is beside the point; what matters is the positive difference it makes to our lives, personal and collective. Consider the Christian doctrine of the Virgin Birth and the Australian Aboriginal denial of paternity - beliefs that contradict our scientific knowledge of the facts of human procreation. In both cases, a logical problem is posed: how to simultaneously stress Christ's humanity and divinity in the first example, and how to simultaneously stress that one's human identity is determined by where you are conceived and born as well as who physically nurtures you in the womb and brings you into the world. In the Christian example, God displaces Joseph as genitor; in the Aboriginal case, patrilineal country is genitor, though in both cases, the pater is the person who provides for the child and helps raise him or her to adulthood.Context is important in considering each unique ethnographic account of creation or procreation stories; however, if we allow ourselves to look for a common, human thread in such traditions around the world, we might find that our species has often, if not in all times and places, been preoccupied with a rather sexual and cannibalistic question: what are we made of?
Jackson's mention of the Virgin Birth is appropriate here for two reasons. First, this biblical cornerstone resonates with a Trobriand tale in which the mother of a legendary hero becomes pregnant after her vagina is loosened, not by sexual intercourse, but by water dripping from a stalactite in a cave where she sleeps and lives a rather solitary life. While their stories are different in many respects, Christ and Tudava share a uniqueness that comes from the absence of a man in the reproductive process. The role of water in Tudava's conception might also be a noteworthy parallel to the role of the Holy Spirit in that of Christ, not to mention the significance of water in Christian regeneration; however, the value of water among Trobriand societies is certainly not unique. Water is a universal necessity, and if we are seriously considering the substance of human being from a variety of perspectives, we should remember that, chemically speaking, our bodies consist of water more than anything else.
Second, the Virgin Birth is significant in that, in the context of Christian tradition, it is the beginning of a salvific work that is sustained through a sort of cannibalism, albeit (perhaps) symbolic. I believe it to be no literary coincidence that the same god-in-flesh who commanded his followers to eat his flesh and drink his blood was first laid down in a manger. While many church communities maintain that the eucharistic bread and wine are merely symbolic reminders of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, most or all share the central tenet that the faithful may partake in the divine nature because, and only because, that nature became flesh: flesh that grew in a womb, experienced the transformations of youth and adulthood, suffered pain and mutilation, died, was buried, and returned from death. Throughout all of this, his earthly father is notably absent from the moment of conception and the events that lead to his death; however, like the husbands of Trobriand mothers, Joseph fulfills an important role during Mary's pregnancy and Jesus' formative years.
When Jesus, prior to his ascension, leaves his inheritance in the hands of Peter, he commands the apostle to feed his sheep. Diversity of interpretations aside, the choice of a feeding metaphor seems a fitting way to punctuate a life story in which flesh and blood, food, wine, and water are of central importance. The gospel, like many creation, procreation, and salvation stories, responds to the most material of human questions: what is the stuff of life? What am I made of?
In some totemic systems, members of a clan are forbidden from eating the totem animal, which is believed to be the embodiment of a common ancestor; however, a sacrificial celebration periodically allows clansmen to join in consuming this animal as a means of asserting their common material identity shared between kin and their deities. Freud imagined the origin of the totemic feast was an act of cannibalism. Several brothers, angry with their father for keeping all of the women for himself, killed and ate him; this savage act, which Freud connects to his Oedipal theories, is commemorated in animal sacrifice, both a means of reenacting the original patricide and preserving the presence of the father in the flesh and blood of the people. While anthropologists have found significant problems with Freud's mythology, I believe something about his imagination resonates with all of us in some way. We all seek a deep, material connection with our kin, including our ancestors and offspring; whether we attempt to make this connection through sex, reproduction, animal sacrifice, or cannibalism, our efforts evidence a structuration of our bodies as sites of material and cultural identity, perpetually torn and reborn through the identity work of individuals and collectives.
One of my students stayed after class yesterday to discuss his research on cannibalism. We discussed some of these ideas, the animal and human sacrifices as well as the mystery cults and sacraments that may be interpreted as vestiges of cannibalistic systems. While I cautioned him against writing his own imagination of prehistoric societies, I encouraged him to look for types or parallels of cannibalism in places where he might least expect it: consumerism, Catholicism, and pornography. I should be careful how I phrase this sort of advice to my students, but I also want to be careful not to leave out a vital aspect of the study of humankind: our bodies, and what we do with them, as tangible (and edible) culture.

Trouble in the Desert: 4 Ways the Suns Can Return to Western ProminenceJanuary 28, 2012
Trouble in the Desert: 4 Ways the Suns Can Return to Western Prominence
The Suns have been struggling this shortened, post-lockout season for a second straight year after enjoying years of success and annual playoff visits. They have not been able to get back to that level of play since the departure of new Knicks star, Amar'e Stoudemire, during his free agency. The Suns will have to make some sort of change in players or agenda if they will become contenders again.
1. Shop and Trade Steve Nash
It's time to move on and part ways. These past seven years have been great. It's been a successful ride, filled with ups and downs. I personally love Nash and I always will appreciate what he did for this franchise, but at some point you have to have the guts to accept that it's over and move on. There's been a lot of good memories, but we can't let them hold us back. We have to let go. It's for the best.
With two MVPs, he has led this team to beyond its wildest dreams, but this is a rebuilding team and many prospects could be added by simply giving up the aging wonder. He has been the Suns' hero for years, but the best thing he can do for the team now is move on.
2. Get Rid of Robin Lopez
Lopez has not been what the Suns expected and hoped for when they drafted him 15th overall out of Stanford. He has been extremely inadequate and has been almost a cancer to this team with his actions. He was even suspended for a game for his actions towards a ref which brought the demeaner of the team down.
Lopez may not hold much trade value, but even getting rid of his contract would be a smart move. Lately, he has not been bringing much to this team and this may be the first step in rebuilding.
3. Give Hakim Warrick More Time and Opportunities off the Bench
Part of what could help the offense is giving Hakim Warrick a regular role. Warrick was the early-season scoring leader off the bench but faded out of the rotation. He was called upon Tuesday night and made his first four shots on his way to 17 points.
Warrick had been moved to small forward to find his way into the rotation, but he returned Tuesday night to power forward, where Gentry said he is better-suited. Gentry said he needs to give Warrick consistent minutes and I will not argue with that.
4. Give Marcin Gortat the Ball in the Post More
Now having recorded a double-double in six consecutive games, Dwight Howard's former caddy has been inspiring locally produced claims that he might be a legitimate candidate for the Western Conference All-Star team.
He is a force to be reckoned with down low in the Valley of the Sun and he has been the little stability on the offense that the Suns can rely on. He has been showing what he has learned from Howard and is putting those talents to use, but he needs to get more chances to shine.
Suns Still in Playoff Race?
The Suns are not out of the Playoff race, but a miracle would have to take place for them to play some extra basketball this year. Right now, though, they should start focusing on the future and these are just four ways that they can improve their team for the long run.
They have a very young, talented team that is poised to do amazing things in the future. All they have to do is change a little and fix the broken spots.

I was slightly baffled when I first heard that an influx of bears and cougars might soon hit Chicago.
Why would professional football players and older women who dig young guys suddenly move to the city in large numbers? But the report, as it turns out, was talking about the literal migration of animals rather than offensive linemen or Courteney Cox.

Peel and trim the asparagus stalks. Cut about an inch of the tips from the spears and then thinly slice the remaining stalk. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the asparagus into the water and cook until just crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, shallot, mustard, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a creamy dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the rice, nuts, carrots, celery, asparagus, dill, and mint. Toss with about 1/3 cup dressing. Serve as is or toss the lettuce with some of the dressing. To serve place the lettuce on a serving platter or individual plates and spoon the salad into the center of the leaves. Pass any remaining dressing at the table.

Note: Details of this case have been altered to protect patient identities.
Upon receiving the personal preference sheet for pediatrics, I was faced with a bit of a conundrum: I had always intended to avoid kids and consequently had done little in the way of thinking about pediatric subspecialties. Given that two weeks of my inpatient experience was to be concentrated on a specific aspect of pediatric care, I knew that I ought to choose something that would be of interest to me. After reflection, I opted to spend two weeks in the pediatric heme/onc service, figuring that it would be a very educational experience.
I expected and accepted that the service would be sad, even depressing. I mentally prepared myself for working with kids who had been diagnosed with horrible cancers and were being treated with some of our most toxic armamentarium. I knew that it was entirely possible that I would be taking care of kids with a terminal diagnosis, and not outside the realm of possibility that one of my patients would die while I was on service.
When it happened, it was not what I was prepared for.
I found that I enjoyed my first week on service; the heme/onc ward was not nearly as depressing as I had imagined it. Sure, the kids were sick – in many cases, very, very sick. Most of the floor was on isolation. There was the occasional diagnosis that we could do little for. A few patients were new diagnoses: kids who had been previously healthy.
Still, overall, I was impressed with the fortitude of the kids and parents. They weren't – for the most part – depressed or angry or grieving (though I do not doubt that most had gone through these stages at some point or another). The physicians on service cared and taught me that kids are resilient, even against cancer – much more so than the average adult.
So it was on my second call day, at the end of my first week, that I was caught surprised by suddenness.
Most of my patients, indeed most of the patients on the inpatient service, were of the oncologic variety. I had a single heme patient, an African American teenager with sickle cell disease, one who had been in the hospital enough times to be bored with the process. I was used to the slow, methodical diseases of cancer, and the slow, methodical treatments of cancer.
Friday afternoon, we had a young boy transferred to our floor from an outside hospital. Up until a few days ago, he had been completely healthy. Briefly, he had mild symptoms: nosebleeds, bruising, malaise, a bit of a fever. We (the resident on-call and myself) interviewed his dad and spoke with him. The story wasn't terribly remarkable, and the patient was stable when we walked out of the room. Since another patient had just been transferred up, we went to interview that second patient.
At the end of that interview/physical, perhaps thirty minutes later, we were paged that the first patient was not doing well. Joined by the senior resident, we immediately returned to the room and found the boy to be almost unresponsive and hypotensive. Obviously, we were quite concerned, and the decision was made to call the Medical Emergency Team and transfer him to the Intensive Care Unit. Our senior started consenting dad for blood products, and the father reacted quite badly – becoming fearful and crying – eventually proving that a parent's intuition can sometimes be more insightful than years of medical training.
We accompanied the pair up to the ICU, overseeing the handoff to the ICU team.
On our way back down to the floor, our senior remarked on what a quick decline in status – from being fairly responsive to almost out of it, just within a half hour's time. As this service was only short call for medical students, I was dismissed shortly thereafter and went home for a brief bit of sleep.
The next morning, as I greeted the interns and started looking at overnight notes, the resident I was with the previous day took me aside. In a whisper, he told me that the patient had coded shortly after I left and that resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful.
It took me a moment to process what he had just said, to work through the medical jargon and understand the bluntness of the event that he had tried to professionalize.
This young boy had been in our hospital for less than three hours before dying. This young boy had previously been completely healthy.
I had actually spoken to him less than twelve hours ago.
The suddenness was dizzying.
The mood on the floor, at least among the physicians who had been involved, was subdued that morning. I could tell that it was an unusual event when one of the docs offered to talk with anyone who wanted to talk about what happened. The hematologist later told me that she had been doing heme/onc for fifteen years and had never seen anything that rapidly devastating.
There was no recrimination; indeed, ultimately, there was little that we could have done better or differently given the timeframe involved. Somehow, that was of little comfort.
There was speculation, and our hematologist offered insight as to what probably happened, but final knowledge would have to wait for the formal autopsy.
I went home with thoughts weighing heavily on my mind. Again, it was not the death itself – it was the suddenness of it. Perhaps if this was a rotation in the Emergency Department, I might have been better steeled against it, but, now, with hindsight, I begin to think that such occurrences are something that we can never be truly prepared for.

Through the night of Feb. 16, CBS was averaging a 16.5 Nielsen rating, a shortfall of 3.3 ratings points from its average guarantee to advertisers of a 19.2 rating. Figuring about 36 minutes of ads in prime time each night, that would equal a shortfall that could only be made up by giving advertisers about 400 additional spots. CBS has already notified marketers to expect only about half their shortfall to be made up during the Olympics itself. The network had no comment.Copyright February 1998, Crain Communications Inc.

Westbury, New York (July 3, 2002) - Electro Industries/GaugeTech introduced today the Dial-In Server add-on for Nexus Communicator 2.0 software.
As cutting edge as this technology is, the way it works is simple. If there is an outage or other alarm event, the remote Nexus meter in the field automatically calls the software server running on a remote PC and records the event. In turn, the Dial-up Server immediately displays both on-screen and voice alerts on its monitor while simultaneously sending out notification via email, pager or phone to the designated user(s). The DI Server also initiates downloads, logs calls and provides advanced alarming features. This software package was designed for large-scale implementation and can work with many meters, operate on up to 100 modems per PC and send emails and pages to limitless people.
Key Features Include:
Alarm and Event Notification
Outage Reporting
Email/Paging Notification
Notify Multiple Users of Remote Problem Conditions
Real Time Alarm Server Notification
Retrieval of Data Trending and Storage
Answer Remote Meters in the field
Automated Speech Output
Compatible with Nexus Series Meters
Alarm Server
The Communicator Alarm Server trends all alarm conditions, including control, power quality events, peak load conditions, relay and breaker operations and exceeded limits. Once the Communicator software determines that that there is a power related event, the alarm server screen pops up alerting the user of the following conditions via text notification, audible and speech alarms.
Dialing-In/Dial-Out Settings
The software enables the user to dial in or dials-out to notify you instantly of any changes in power or meter functions including:
CBEMA Power Quality event
High Speed Input Change
Waveform Record Capture
Filling of Meter Memory
Meter Communication Failure
Control Output Change
Cycling of Control Power
Password failure on incoming modem call
Failure of communications channel with Nexus
Email/Paging Feature
Once the software detects a call, Communicator launches the Dial-out feature, immediately alerting those designated users via email (PC, PDA, Cell Phone) and/or Pager. (Note: Multiple users can be contacted simultaneously.)
Modem Monitor
The Modem Monitor checks the PC for connected modems and monitors available modems for incoming calls. When an incoming call from a meter is detected, the Modem Monitor automatically directs the Communicator software to answer the call and process it. Modem Monitor automatically configures the server by taking an inventory of available modems and listening to dial-in commands. This eliminates complex user configuration making the system quick to set up and easy to use.

Another important day of World Cup action and the end of the first round of group games. Now you could say this is where it starts to get interesting. Group H ended with a flourish after starting with a whimper through late goals in each game; turning around the result for Belgium v Algeria and subsequently rescuing one for Russia v South Korea.
Group A moved into the second round of games and after a somewhat tepid first half, Brazil v Mexico turned into an entertaining draw. Brazil didn't perform well though and the crowd were audibly unhappy with the host nation's performance.
Mexico showed some guts to take the game to Brazil and arguably deserved to win the game after peppering Julio Cesar with long-range efforts for most of the second-half. 35 year-old skipper Rafael Marquez enabling his experience and know how to control the Mexican tempo throughout the game.
However, it was the goalkeeper, Guillermo Ochoa who caught the attention of everyone in the stadium and watching on TV with a serious of wonderful instinctive saves to prevent an undeserved defeat for the Mexico and an unjust win for the hosts.
Igor, Igor, Igor…what were you thinking? Talk about keepers saving their team, and then you come across Igor Akinfeev! Poor Igor managed to somehow throw a South Korean pot shot into his own net after a rather dull encounter played in stifling heat.
However, it wasn't merely a mistake on Akinfeev's part as he had been threatening to 'let slip' all night, eventually he did and Russia had to battle to salvage the draw.
Fellani's goal for Belgium v Algeria has to be the choice here, although Belgium's second runs it close. Fellaini got across his man to beat the defender to a well executed floated cross to flick a wonderful header into the net via the underside of the bar. Get in!
A serious gripe this, a really serious gripe. Is Fred really the best that Brazil has to offer up front? I mean REALLY? The striker may as well have been a mannequin as he had all the movement of one throughout his 68 minutes on the pitch and it's a wonder he managed to complete that. For a striker who has quite a decent scoring record, it makes you wonder how on Earth he managed to accomplish it!Categories: world cup
