The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) is fraying as the jihadist group fails to fulfill its promise of unifying Muslims of all origins under the caliphate and infighting between rival groups grows, The Washington Post reports.
According to the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, ISIS has publicly executed more than 120 of its own members in Syria.
"Some were accused of spying and one of smoking, but suspicions are widespread that most were simply fighters caught trying to flee," explains The Post.
Just in the last few days, nine ISIS fighters were killed during clashes between foreigners and locals fighting on behalf of ISIS, reports the Syrian monitor group.
"The Islamic State appears to be starting to fray from within, as dissent, defections and setbacks on the battlefield sap the group's strength and erode its aura of invincibility among those living under its despotic rule," proclaims WaPo.
"Reports of rising tensions between foreign and local fighters, aggressive and increasingly unsuccessful attempts to recruit local citizens for the front lines, and a growing incidence of guerrilla attacks against Islamic State targets suggest the militants are struggling to sustain their carefully cultivated image as a fearsome fighting force drawing Muslims together under the umbrella of a utopian Islamic state," adds the article.
ISIS has imposed travel restrictions around the areas it has conquered.
"The key challenge facing ISIS right now is more internal than external," Lina Khatib, director of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut, told The Post. "We're seeing basically a failure of the central tenet of ISIS ideology, which is to unify people of different origins under the caliphate. This is not working on the ground. It is making them less effective in governing and less effective in military operations."
Shootouts have broken out between Syrian and Kuwaiti-led ISIS factions. Foreign Chechen fighters and Iraqis fighting alongside ISIS have also battled one another.
Last week, the Pentagon claimed the U.S.-led coalition has killed 8,500 ISIS fighters in Iraq. An estimated 20,000 foreigners are believed to be fighting alongside the jihadist group in Syria and Iraq.
"The anecdotal reports [of dissension, defections and setbacks on the battlefield], drawn from activists and residents of areas under Islamic State control, don't offer any indication that the group faces an immediate challenge to its stranglehold over the mostly Sunni provinces of eastern Syria and western Iraq that form the backbone of its self-proclaimed caliphate," notes The Washington Post. "Battlefield reversals have come mostly on the fringes of its territory, while organized opposition remains unlikely as long as viable alternatives are lacking and the fear of vicious retribution remains high, Syrians, Iraqis and analysts say."
Despite offering a salary of $800 per month, ISIS is struggling to recruit local Arab fighters.
Nevertheless, the jihadist group is still able to draw in teenagers prone to its propaganda.
ISIS "was never popular, but people supported them because they were scared or they needed money," Ahmed Mhidi, who left Syria for Turkey to set up an opposition group, told The Post. "Now people want nothing to do with them, and if the Islamic State puts pressure on them, they just flee."
Although foreigners are still streaming across Turkey into areas controlled by ISIS, few are willing to travel to the front lines, according to one of the founders of the Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently group identified by the pseudonym Abu Ibrahim al-Raqqawi.
"They just want to live in the Islamic State," he told The Post. "They didn't come to fight."
"Ultimately, they are only attracting people on the margins of society, without much education or useful skills," the Carnegie Middle East Center's Khatib told WaPo. "It's not exactly bolstering their military capability."
ISIS is fighting a war on at least three fronts, notes The Post.
The terrorist group is battling Kurds in northern Syria, Kurds in northern Iraq, and the combined Iraqi and Iranian-backed Shiite militia fighters fighting to retake the central Iraqi city of Tikrit.

Hello and Welcome to My Blog!
My name is Joni, and I live on the island of Roatan. One of the Bay Islands located 30 miles off the north coast of Honduras. My day job for the last 20 years is the Assistant Manager at Anthony's Key Resort, one of the pioneer scuba diving resorts in the Caribbean. In the evenings, you'll find me at home with my family, doing homework with my youngest son, cooking, and blogging!
The culinary delights on the Bay Islands are unique because of the unusual mix of cultures found here. The Bay Islands were once a British colony, and many of our ancestors migrated here from England and other parts of Europe. Over 150 years ago, the Bay Islands became Honduran territory. With Honduras being a Spanish country, you'll not only find both English and Spanish spoken here, but you'll also find a fusion of Latin flavor in our island cooking.
I started this blog as a way to document and share some of the traditional island recipes but you'll also find some of my own inventions, or whatever I'm cooking for dinner! As you can imagine, working full time in the hotel business is a task in itself, so you'll find that most of my recipes are quick and easy. They are also resourceful because we don't have access to every ingredient here on the island, so knowing how to improvise and substitute is key!
Cooking has not always been my favorite thing. My mother once gave me an apron that read: "Born to shop. Forced to cook."And I couldn't have said it better myself! But over the last 20 years of being married and raising a family, I've learned to enjoy cooking. My real passion, however, is all things digital. Online shopping, website design, social media; you name it! Now, this site allows me to marry the two. Something I have to do, with something I love!
I hope you enjoy!

"We call on Ministers and leaders of the ANC who care about the future of democracy and the Constitution to speak up and call on the President, in the best interests of the country, to step down. We call on the parliamentary leadership of the ANC, supported by all opposition parties, to insist that parliament be recalled immediately to debate a motion of no-confidence, proposed by the ANC leadership in parliament. We call on all members of Parliament to unite and support a motion of no-confidence." - Statement by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, March 31, 2017
The outcome is uncertain. But political observers are unanimous that the events of last week mark a dramatic public display of lack of confidence in South African President Jacob Zuma, including within the highest ranks of the ruling African National Congress. First came the death of highly respected and beloved liberation icon Ahmed Kathrada, one of those closest to Nelson Mandela in prison and in struggle. This was followed within days by a unilateral cabinet reshuffle by President Zuma, including the ouster of Treasury officials seen as the major barrier to further expansion of corruption and patronage by Zuma and his allies.
This AfricaFocus Bulletin contains (1) the March 31 statement by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, (2) the short remarks by Kathrada's widow Barbara Hogan, herself a political prisoner under apartheid, who served with distinction as Health Minister in a decisive phase of the battle against HIV/AIDS, and (3) an article noting the potential impact of the cabinet reshuffle on a contested nuclear power deal with Russia, one of many points at which corruption in the Zuma administration has intersected with energy policy.

Media Statement: Honour Kathrada, defend our democracy
Nelson Mandela Foundation and Ahmed Kathrada Foundation
March 31, 2017
The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation and Nelson Mandela Foundation are shocked and deeply saddened by the unilateral announcement by the Presidency that the memorial service in honour of the late Ahmed Mohamed Kathrada has been postponed indefinitely. This decision was without any consultation with his wife Barbara Hogan, the Kathrada family, and the Kathrada Foundation.
We view this conduct by the President, on the anniversary of the humble letter written to him exactly one year ago, by our beloved Isithwalandwe comrade Kathrada, as totally unacceptable. The memorial service would have been the ideal opportunity for the state to pay tribute to the memory of Ahmed Kathrada. For three quarters of a century Ahmed Kathrada, a revolutionary, selflessly sacrificed his life in the interests of the people. He has deservedly taken his rightful place alongside the many giants of our democratic revolution; a symbol who people here and abroad have come to love and adore.
Ahmed Kathrada passed away in the early hours of Tuesday morning, 28 March, and on Wednesday at his funeral, people gathered from all walks of life, young and old, men and women, including stalwarts in their numbers, to name a few:
Graca Machel and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela
The surviving Rivonia trialists Andrew Mlangeni and Dennis Goldberg
The last surviving leader of the 1956 Women's March Sophie Williams De Bruyn
The life-long friend of Ahmed Kathrada, Laloo Chiba, who together with others spent time with him on Robben Island
Members of the Sisulu and Tambo families
George Bizos
Former speakers of the National Assembly, Frene Ginwala and Max Sisulu
Former Presidents Mbeki and Motlanthe
Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa
Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng
Religious leaders from all faith communities
Leaders of all sectors of business, labour and civil society.
In addition to our dismay at the indefinite postponement of the official memorial in honour of comrade Kathrada tomorrow, we have awoken to the news this morning that five ministers and three deputy ministers have been removed from office. They include Minister Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas, who have worked tirelessly to stabilise our economy in the face of self-induced political instability. They and others, in our view, have been removed for protecting the country from corruption and looting, and speaking truth to power. They were not even shown the courtesy of being informed of their removal and they learnt of their removal through the media. This decision of the President, using presidential prerogative and, as we have learnt, without the support of the Deputy President or the Secretary General of the African National Congress, follows on the heels of
the decision of the Constitutional Court in the disastrous SASSA debacle around the continuation of payment of social grants
the SABC debacle where the recommendations of parliament were largely ignored
South Africa being summoned to the Hague to explain the violation of its obligations at the International Criminal Court
The President joining a court application by the Minister of Finance that attempts to interfere with our financial institutions.
We are angered and outraged by the choices, and the consequences, of the decision of the President, including retaining ministers who have been found glaringly wanting in executing their responsibilities, and putting narrow interests ahead of the interest of our country and its people. Contrary to the populist narrative that the President is furthering an agenda of radical economic transformation, the opposite is true. The consequences of last night's announcement have the dramatic result that our scarce resources will be diverted to servicing debt and irrational procurement decisions, rather than delivery of services.
The Foundations call on the leaders and ordinary members of the African National Congress (ANC) across the country, leaders and members of the liberation movements and progressive civil society formations to build a new consensus that brings together all South Africans demanding accountability and ethical governance.
We call on Ministers and leaders of the ANC who care about the future of democracy and the Constitution to speak up and call on the President, in the best interests of the country, to step down.
We call on the parliamentary leadership of the ANC, supported by all opposition parties, to insist that parliament be recalled immediately to debate a motion of no-confidence, proposed by the ANC leadership in parliament. We call on all members of Parliament to unite and support a motion of no-confidence.
We call on the people of South Africa in their mass formations to take to the streets and to make their views known. We support the rallying calls resounding across South Africa for all South African citizens to make their voices heard and take action to safeguard the future of all our children.:
"The people united will never be defeated!"
"Our Country is not for sale!"
Statement by Barbara Hogan at Kathrada memorial service, April 1, 2017
For video of the 7-minute statement, see http://tinyurl.com/my54zaj
"I'd like to pay a special tribute to the Kathrada family, who are sitting here with us at the moment. We felt, both myself and the Kathrada family, that when Mr K was buried on Wednesday it was one of the most fitting tributes, in the style and traditions of our mass democratic movement, that Mr K could ever have been given. And so the enormous spirit that engulfed the country at the time of his passing and his funeral was both calming and comforting, and gave us inspiration about the fighting spirit of our country.
"We welcomed a commemoration service hosted by the Presidency because that is what is befitting of a giant of our country. But let me say that last night, when the news began to filter through, about the dastardly deeds that were being done in dark corners, many of us in the family began to have second doubts whether we would want a commemoration under the auspices of a president who has clearly gone rogue.
Who has clearly defied his own party. You have a deputy president saying, clearly and forthrightly today, that the removal of the finance minister and his deputy was based on a dubious intelligence report. You have the secretary-general of the ANC saying loudly and clearly: the list of ministers who are to be replaced did not come from the ANC, it came from another side.
"What does that mean to us? It means that the president is not applying his mind in making a decision about one of the most critical issues in our country, and that is a decision about a team of people who are going to lead our country. Surely that is an indictment on the president, when his own party is rejecting him. His own party rejects what he has done. If this is not a defining moment in our country, nothing will ever be a defining moment.
"Looking to citizens of our country, I think all of us are utterly dismayed. We live in this country, we love this country and we have hopes. The majority of people live desperate lives of poverty and marginalisation. That a president can think to withdraw a finance minister and his deputy from an incredibly important international roadshow, to think that he thinks he could just do that and there is no consequences for the poor, shows what an inept president we have.
"For the ordinary citizens of this country, it is time for your voices to be heard. This is not a time for petty differences amongst us to divide us. Our sworn enemies - and we all have our little fights in the progressive movement - can no longer be enemies. We have to form a broad, mass democratic alliance here to take on the forces of evil, and the rogues, and the thieves who want to steal our country from us. We need to say to people that if there are ANC councillors in their ward, they need to call that councillor and ask them what they are doing. You can no longer say, 'Oh, that's another sphere of government.' You represent the ANC, you've got to be accountable. We need to say to people, 'call on your ANC MPLs. Ask them what they're doing.' And your MPs as well. Call your MPs. When they were sworn in as MPs and MPLs, they swore an oath to the Constitution.
"Party loyalty is important, but when we are in as grave a situation as we are in today, the Constitution that we love and fought for, must take precedence over any lingering notion that party loyalty is above anything. I do not say this lightly. As Kathy said in his letter to the president, he remained silent even though there were many things that worried him. 'But,' he said, 'there is a moment in which you have to break the silence.' And this is the moment in which ANC MPs sitting in Parliament need to look into themselves and ask, 'what is the constitutional duty that is imposed upon us in terms of this Constitution?'
"There are two clauses around the Presidency in this Constitution which deal with a president that is not behaving presidentially. The Constitution provides a basis for remedying that fact. This is not silly issues of factional battles in the ANC, these are greater and grander projects about the accountability of our leadership to the rank-and-file of our people. And so I call on everyone here not to remain silent, not to sit on the fence and not to remain looking after your own narrow, self-interest. The country needs to be taken back. A country united is never divided. And this country is not for sale. Thank you."
Zuma's cabinet reshuffle opens the door for nuclear deal in South Africa
March 31, 2017
Hartmut Winkler, Professor of Physics, University of Johannesburg
South Africa has just witnessed a game changing cabinet reshuffle with the firing of five ministers and several deputy ministers. This included the Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and his second-incharge Mcebisi Jonas.
The three ministries with the most critical impact on the energy sector have all been affected, significantly increasing the chances of the country opting for a highly controversial nuclear energy programme.
In the energy portfolio, former minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson has been replaced by cabinet newcomer Nkhensani Kubayi. The minister's removal might have been driven by her recent passivity around the nuclear build. The second ministry affected is Public Enterprises, which supervises the state electricity utility Eskom, and has a new deputy minister.
But the most crucial change is in the National Treasury which is now in the hands of two perceived Zuma loyalists. Malusi Gigaba, former home affairs minister, is the new finance minister and Sifiso Buthelezi his deputy.
Former finance minister Gordhan had been under particularly severe attack from Zuma supporters for his reluctance to endorse excessive expenditure demands. He was viewed as a stumbling block by those that stood to benefit from mega-projects. The biggest of these is the R1 trillion nuclear new build.
The cabinet reshuffle can therefore be viewed as a desperate bid by the Zuma faction, and associated beneficiaries such as the Gupta family, to drive the pro-nuclear agenda. The expectation is that the nuclear procurement plan will now receive the National Treasury's blessing and will be given the go-ahead. This is despite the dangerous financial burden it would impose on the country, and the massive resultant debt repayment obligations.
Nuclear versus renewable debate
When the plan to develop a 9.6 GW nuclear production capability was first mooted in 2011, it didn't seem to be a particularly bad idea. But the scheme rapidly became controversial. The Russian nuclear industry with businesses linked to a faction within the ANC started to exert excessive influence on key people in government, and Zuma in particular, to force through the nuclear build. The faction was most visibly represented by "tenderpreneurs" - business people who enrich themselves through government tenders, often dubiously.
The pro-nuclear lobby soon began to attack on a second front, directing their energies at South Africa's burgeoning renewable energy industry. The country could rightfully boast that its renewable energy programme, started in 2012, was hugely successful. Driven by the Department of Energy, it had seen multiple mediumscale wind and solar energy farms springing up all around South Africa.
These early successes led to academic studies as well as the country's 2016 draft Integrated Resource Plan for Electricity recognising the renewable energy potential. They concluded that the country could be energy self-sufficient without nuclear for at least the next 20 years.
But in a surprise move last year Eskom announced that it would no longer sign electricity purchase agreements with independent power producers. This threatened to squash nascent renewable enterprises, which rely on Eskom for their power distribution.
The peculiar objection raised was that the electricity distributor couldn't afford the long-term purchase of renewable energy. These concerns were voiced by former Eskom CEO, Brian Molefe, who subsequently resigned after compromising allegations were made against him, as well as his successor, Matshela Koko.
Their argument appeared to be based on the comparatively high feedin tariffs of R2.60/kWh from the earliest round of solar power station contracts. They chose not to consider that the renewable energy plants in planning or under construction would be delivering power to Eskom at approximately R0.78/kWh. This is cheaper than current electricity production from coal. It's also much cheaper than the projected cost of nuclear energy once loan repayments and decommissioning costs are factored in.
A desperate bid
South Africans should expect a massive public relations campaign claiming that the massive investment in nuclear will repay itself in the long term. Another fallacious key narrative that's likely to be pushed very hard is that there are "base load" requirements that other energy sources cannot address.
It's also now more likely that the final version of the 2016 energy plan, due at the end of March, will be modified to propose an immediate need for nuclear.
The nuclear versus renewable debate has become visibly entangled in the country's political machinations. This means that it's highly improbable that the majority of South Africans would ever support the nuclear option. The contest for control of the government is already leading to street protests and the threatened impeachment of the president.
There's no doubt that attempts to build nuclear plants will be challenged by all sectors of society.
Taking a longer term view, it's not to be expected that the construction projects, which typically take a decade or even longer to come to fruition, will see completion. The projects may well have to be cancelled, as happened in Austria in 1978.
The new more malleable finance minister may also find it hard to effect an expensive undertaking particularly given the massive demands for funds from other sectors such as education and social welfare. The expected rating downgrade could also lead to vastly increased borrowing costs.
South Africa's energy sector is perhaps at its most fluid and unpredictable stage it's ever been in.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) September 20, 2016
A leading invention firm, InventHelp is submitting the INEB UNEB to companies in the hopes of their good faith review.
"I am a nurse," said an inventor, from Zionsville, Ind., "and a past resident with COPD wanted to enjoy the feeling of smoking while in a non-smoking facility, so I came up with the INEB UNEB."
The InebUneb provides an effective way for smokers to wean off of nicotine. In doing so, it offers an improved alternative to electronic cigarettes. As a result, it could provide a healthier way to absorb nicotine and it could offer a more satisfying experience than smoking an e-cigarette. The invention features a portable design that is convenient and easy to use so it is ideal for use by smokers and users of electronic cigarettes. Additionally, the InebUneb is producible in design variations.
Also, the invention allows for easier weaning from nicotine for smokers of tobacco and e-cigarettes by appealing to the senses (hand-to-mouth fixation), which patches, inhalers and gum can't do. And it fits a niche market, circumventing the ban on tobacco/e-cigarette usage.
The inventor described the invention design. "My design offers a safer way to deliver nicotine to the body." The idea is patent pending.
The original design was submitted to the Indianapolis office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 15-IPL-308, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

It takes a special kind of restaurant to single-handedly gentrify a neighborhood. Podnah's Pit is that kind of restaurant. Since Portland's best barbecue restaurant moved in four years ago, the 1600 block of Northeast Killingsworth Street has gained a Tex-Mex joint, a chic teahouse, a bottle shop/beer bar, a real estate office and a quirky bakery and family-friendly pizza spot. The latter, Handsome Pizza, is a refugee from the North Station food cart pod, where owner and self-described "pizza nerd" Will Fain first started slinging pies professionally in 2011. That former service station is now well on its way to being fancy condos, so Fain relocated this spring to the new space, which he shares with Seastar Bakery. Good news: the pizza's still great.
The chow: Fain had a new wood-fired oven built for the new space, and the pizzas he pulls from it showcase the same blistered, chewy crust as ever. A small pizza is plenty for one hungry diner. Several of the pies now sport the names of interesting Portlanders. The Tissa Stein, named for the owner of Tabor Bread, where Fain held pop-up dinners while building out the new restaurant, is a white pie with mozzarella, roasted onions, salty black olives, garlic and a dusting of house-made Middle Eastern za'atar spice. It's surprisingly delicious. The more conventional Marianna-Elyse ($9 small, $19 large), a cheeseless affair with a smear of rich tomato sauce topped with garlic, chile, olive oil, oregano and basil, showcases the flavor and texture of Fain's crust.
Real deals: Cheese slice, $3.
Hangout factor: The open, roughly finished space is made delightful by a large sculpture of a blue-green dragon -- made by Chris Walas, the man who created Gremlins -- peering out from the kitchen. Paper light fixtures made with pages from graphic novels help. On a recent Monday evening, the place was filled with young children.
Liquids: Soda ($1.50-$2); coffee ($2-$3.50); beer ($1.75-$4.50); wine ($6-$7).
What's half-baked? The beaver-eagle hybrid creature over the door to the bathroom is terrifying.
Inside tips: Don't skip the salad. The single offering changes from week to week. A recent kale, roasted cherry tomato, cucumber, bean and pumpkin seed number was as memorable as the pizza.
The numbers: Noon to 9 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday-Sunday; closed Wednesday; 1603 N.E. Killingsworth St.; 503-247-7499; handsomepizza.com.

I love sharing my process and so for my second creative Skillshare class Hand Lettering to Refined Vector I decided to focus on two of my favorite things. Lettering and vector!
In this class we will learn how to take our hand drawn lettering and perfectly refine it in vector with Adobe Illustrator. I will cover three different vectorization methods I use. Each method uses a different Illustrator tool as well as a strategic and efficient process for constructing the lettering. The method choice is dependent on the lettering style you are looking to achieve.
If you aren't familiar Skillshare has a collection of both free and premium classes. I love the classes myself because they are broke down into small straight forward easily digestible videos. There are many categories from Design to cooking! When you sign up for the first time you get a month for free to try it out. No commitment. Go here to get started!

This traditional modest bungalow in York has been redeveloped and transformed into an impressive open plan living space. The architectural design of the property is first class with the front entrance door leading straight through the property all the way to the rear of the garden into the immaculate landscaped garden and outdoor seating area.
Due to the large expanses of glass required and in keeping with the open plan design of the property our XP Glide patio doors were used to completely open up the rear of the building. The two sets of triple track sliding doors meet at a central structural support which has been expertly cloaked in insulated aluminium pressings to match the aesthetic of the doors. When closed the two sliding doors form a huge glass facade spanning the full width of the property.
The project also boasts an additional two sets of twin track sliding patio doors as well our aluminium windows throughout. The project gallery illustrates how skilled property developers can utilise our various products to create a superb and stunning new home.
As well as using our glazed products throughout the exterior of the property, express was also used in the home through our sister company Express in the Home, who designed and installed the modern German kitchen within this property. Contemporary aluminium products boasting large expanses of glass, and the flexibility to transform space are often key elements within modern homes and open-plan kitchen designs and this is truly showcased here.
To see further examples of our projects alongside kitchens by Express in the Home click here.
Alternatively you can see both companies in our showrooms and our flagship Leeds showroom.

Finlandia Vodka Reviews
16 Customer Reviews
Very smooth
Smooth? It certainly isn't. It burns like heck.
my personal go-to vodka for mixing cocktails, always good quality.
Its just awesome!! Vodka of my choice,i bet u would jus lov this!!
a beautiful vodka, just a smooth taste, its costs a little extra but is worth every penny.
An excellent all-round vodka: neat, with ice, with a mixer - whatever. It's simply a vodka of high quality for a reasonable price.
Pretty Tasty, I like to drink vodka straight from the freezer with a cube of ice or two and with no mixer, and Finlandia has a nice vinnila and citrus-y (if thats a word) Flavour and is quite smooth. I would recommend anyone who like their vodka to give it a try.
As a finn I have to say this is good; but actually it is great! Pure, elegant yet with character; medicinal in a dry, fresh unmedicinal way, if that makes any sense...
Truely on the worlds great Vodka's - when you need a rest from Gin this makes a superb Vodka Martini.....first class
Good but boring vodka. Nothing special about it. I much prefer Wyborowa from Poland or Stoli.
Love the glassware, love the vodka! Excellent value for price!
Soooo good :)
Great value for money, agree with the others. If your looking for something not to fancy but still good enough to drink neat and a bottle that will impress your friends its a great standard to have.
Snooth indeed.Finlands best vodka after Koskenkorva.
Not as smooth as more expensive vodkas like belvedere or grey goose but for this price it's the best with Russian Standard vodkas.
smooth as silk a fine vodka. A close second to Chinggs khan and nemiroff in qualty.

Froggy Went A-Courtin' (Revised)
I first published this story in an old blog, now long gone into the internet scrapheap. It is a true story.
A dark event in my life occurred on hot July day in 2005, when my brother, Marty, and I were working as the horticultural maintenance staff at Talladega Superspeedway. On the day in question, Marty was working alone in the infield while I supervised a small crew of people in cleaning up one of the more pleasant campgrounds just outside the ring of the track.
I and my crew were removing pine straw, pine cones, and fallen branches from the shady RV campground situated behind Turn Number One on the front stretch. We walked around the grounds with leaf-blowers under the giant pines, gathering up the debris and hauling it away to a burn pit, taking turns driving the UTV's.
It was one of those knockout midsummer days that we get sometimes in Alabama, where the humidity is at a civilized level, and the temperature is in the low nineties. The Superspeedway sits in a valley, surrounded in every direction by ridge lines belonging to the foothills of the Appalachian mountain range. On this day, the air was clear, and the ridges were dark green on the horizon, and I was feeling pretty glad to be working outdoors in my home State.
I set down my leaf-blower, and informed one of my crew members that I intended to walk over to the closest bathroom, and I'd be back soon.
The walk to the bath house was pleasant. I strolled up to the low cinder-block building, and headed for the Ladies' room.
I should make note here of how the Superspeedway handled stocking the bath houses. In between races, the bathrooms weren't stocked with toilet paper. Re-stocking was always done just prior to each of the two race weekends. This bi-annual restocking meant that, the closer one got to a race weekend, the less likelihood there was that the Men's facility would be stocked with toilet paper, since we had very few women employed in Facilities Maintenance. As a matter of fact, that year, 2005, there was only one woman working outside, and it was her that I informed of my call of nature, so that there wouldn't be any conflict with the bathroom. The lady knew how things worked, and she was understanding of the situation.
Entering the Ladies' Room, I chose one of the eight or ten stalls at random, went in, dropped my pants, and sat down.
I made a grave error that day, and I have to give y'all some explanation, so that you will understand the gravity of my mistake.
The bath-houses dotting the campground landscapes at Talladega are outdoor facilities, with only enough electricity supplied to them to enable a couple of lights to work. Although not necessarily primitive, the bathrooms are definitely not palatial, either. The roofs sit about six inches above the walls for ventilation purposes, and so birds, spiders, and other critters are able to make homes in some of the buildings until crews go in prior to the race weekends in order to de-critter them; for this reason, it is always wise to inspect the underside of the toilet seat before sitting down, in case a spider or wasp would be crawling around underneath the seat. On that fateful day in 2005, I failed to make a proper inspection.
I had been sitting on the toilet for only a couple of seconds when something cold, clammy, and EVIL gripped my exposed man-parts, from underneath.
I should point out, here, that I am afraid of spiders. I don't like the way they look; I hate the way they walk, and if spiders had any detectable odor, I would no doubt hate the way they smell.
I KNEW, down deep in my soul, that whatever gripped my man-fruits had eight evil legs and a red hourglass blazoned on it's back. I knew this, because I routinely killed Black Widow spiders on Superspeedway grounds every day; and underneath toilet seats is a great place for a Black Widow to lurk, hoping to catch an unwary horticulturist in a compromising position and bite him on the nertz. It's what Black Widows live for.
As soon as I felt the cold, clammy hand of death gripping me, I did several things simultaneously, in the space of a split second.
First, I screamed.
I'm a baritone when I sing; but on that sunny summer day in 2005, I could have taught a soprano how to break glass.
The remainder of the split second involved multiple, simultaneous actions. I tried, of course, to run, which was problematic with my pants around my ankles, so I wasn't successful. I also tried to jump, which caused my knee to collide with the plastic toilet-paper dispenser, ripping it from the side of the stall, and making a racket that acted as the percussion section to my singing scream. While performing all of the other actions, at the same time I was trying, with my right hand, to grab and remove the demon that was clinging to my favorite dangly bits.
Removing the thing that was gripping my nethers was more difficult than it should have been. Whatever it was, was cold, clammy, and clinging stubbornly to my skin; which, of course, forced me to envision fangs, pincers, or possibly even ninja-spikes. When I was finally able to rip the offender from my crotch, and bring it, wriggling madly, out where I could see it, I saw that my attacker was…a green tree frog. (more, after the pic)
The frog had apparently been sitting quietly underneath the toilet seat, waiting patiently for an unsuspecting victim to have a seat so that he coud swing like Tarzan from whatever parts came within reach.
Now, y'all have to remember that at the time of this occurrence, I was still a prodigal, and not inclined to go to church, so I'm afraid I said some things to that frog that are not appropriate in Christian society. I'm pretty sure that I said some things that would make a pole-dancer blush, before I threw the bewildered and insulted frog into the toilet and flushed.
Don't feel bad for little froggy, folks. The bath house was located very close to the lagoon into which all waste water at the racetrack empties, so Mr. Frog most likely ended up in the lagoon, from which he could easily crawl back to the bath house, if he so desired.
My screams, and the crashing of the toilet-paper dispenser had attracted the attention of my co-workers, one of which came into the bathroom to see if I was being murdered. For some reason, when he found out what had really happened, my co-worker was amused, and told the story to the other members of our little crew.
I never, ever, sat on any outdoor toilet without giving the whole space a thorough inspection. Lesson learned. For quite understandable reasons, I no longer think of tree frogs as cute little amphibians; they are indeed regarded by me to be potential assailants, and I give them a wide berth.

So what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green?
Well, this seems to be my summertime:
Get up around 5:45. Check Alyssa's blog to see if there are any updates. (Hey, she's 8 hours ahead of me, I can wonder...) If there are no updates, go to FB and check her status to see if anything has changed since before I went to bed. If no change in status, get to the gym so I can be home by 7:10 to wake up kids for swim team.
At 7:10, wake up Lindsay and Payton. Check Lyss' blog and FB status. Run kids to swim team practice.
At 7:50 hike 1 1/2 miles up Table Rock with 2 girlfriends, then run the 1 1/2 miles down. Get back to the swimming pool to pick up kids.
At 9:00 start oatmeal on the stove while checking Lyss' blog and FB status on laptop on kitchen table. Eat oatmeal and check a few other favorite blogs for new posts.
At 10:00 get in the shower - well most days it is 10:00 - today it was 2:00!!! I love summer.
Putter around the house after shower making sure kids are doing their jobs. Do my jobs. Try to get my piles of stuff organized. This may take the entire summer - blech.
Around 1:00 eat lunch while checking Lyss' blog and FB status. Nothing new on either site. *sigh*
Do whatever the kids want to do - provided I don't have to take a loan out to do it - for the afternoon.
Around 5:00 check Lyss' blog and FB status. If I'm lucky I may hit the jackpot and she will have posted something to let us know that she is ok, or that she has a drunk naked man as a roommate in her hostel (don't worry, she has 3 "men" with her to protect her... ahem. I hope they are doing their "job"...), or that she had to pay an extra 50 or so American dollars to the train police in Italy, or that she has a touch of heatstroke since she didn't eat or drink anything during the day. Whew! It's always a relief to be able to read something she has actually written that day! What would I do without the internet to connect me with my daughter who's halfway around the world.
Around 6:00 think about cooking dinner. Wonder what to cook. Check several cooking blogs to see if there is anything that is quick, won't make my pants too tight, is appetizing, and that I have the ingredients for.
Around 7:00 clean up the dinner that will probably make my pants too tight, and solicit help from the kids (if there are any around - sheesh) to get kitchen cleaned up.
Around 8:00 think about going on a walk with Bill for our decompression/nightly date/hand holding time.
Around 9:30 return from nightly walk with Bill. Check Lyss' FB status to see if anything has changed since the last time I checked it. Watch the last of any TV show that might be on. Watch the news. Get ready for bed so we can start it all over again tomorrow.
Oh, the joys of summer.
SIDENOTE: Lest you think I am obsessive about checking up on my daughter: well, I'm not. I consider myself very curious as to her whereabouts and travelings and I will continue to be a little curious until she safely arrives back on US soil next Wednesday. There. She'll be back next Wednesday - wow! I think Alyssa's blog will get a lot less hits from me, and my little laptop may or may not collect a little more dust once she is safely home.
That's what I do in the summertime - at least for the next week.

We had so much fun playing with all the dressed up doggies for our Halloween event yesterday - Hope you have just as much fun looking at these photos of them! (We apologize in advance for the blurry photos... these pups were having too much fun romping around the shop to slow down for photos!)
We still have a few costumes left if you want to pick one up for your pup for tonight's festivities, and all Halloween costumes and toys will be 40% off tomorrow only!

Xparent gets moving!
If you believe that transparency and accountability are paramount for non-profits and tax-funded institutions, then read further. Xparent may be what you had been waiting for.
I don't know what your perception is on the transparency and accountability of your local government. Personally, I feel there is plenty of space for improvement. Most of the information is usually restricted to expenses on a website and a collection of invoices. No read access is granted to government bank accounts, so the tracking of income and expenses is virtually inexistent which brings about the root for corruption.
Precisely, Xparent aims to provide full traceability by treating each Bitcoin address as you would a bank account and the real-life identity of its owner. Since all Bitcoin transactions are public and verifiable there is no room for cheating. Unlike bank reports, you can be certain the results obtained by querying the blockchain reflect the real ownership of bitcoins. Moreover, the digital nature of the ledger lets you display the information in the way that best helps you understand the flow of transactions among participants.
Non-profits may also find Xparent useful by providing additional transparency to reinforce the sense of purpose for contributors. Besides, Bitcoin may prove to be perfectly suited for inexpensive international transactions to instantly reach those in need.
If you want to be transparent with Xparent, you only need to publish your
config.json file next to your donation Bitcoin address. It is mostly non-intrusive and yes, it is that easy!
Go check the online app, run the demo and get an idea of how it works: navigate around the departments, browse the graphs, download the PDF report... You are welcome.

Local relationships can be challenging
enough. Distant relationships, unless you really enjoy time alone, can
be more difficult. You can enjoy a long distance relationship if you are
willing to work on it. Give your relationship a chance to
survive and thrive!
Love can ignore distance
and grow more intimate with sharing
I live in Canada, and my fiancée is working
in Fiji. We nearly split up a few times, but since your coaching we are
planning our future together. It's only ten more months ...
There are many reasons for long-distance relationships. Lovers
may hope for a future together; we coach people by telephone and Skype; family
members may enjoy a sense of togetherness, and team members need to keep in
touch. Long-distance relationships need at least as much care and attention as
closer relationships.
Long-distance intimate relationships can be difficult and
challenging. While frustration, insecurity, boredom and suspicion can be
destructive, the most deadly threats to future happiness are temporary
replacements ... or affairs.
Your attitude is crucial - recall the good times and wonderful
moments that you enjoyed together. Remember those times you knew that your
partner loved you and cared for you. Realistically plan for more and better
times like that.
Long-distance casual relationships (pen-pals) are great for
people who are interested in each other's lives and cultures. Long-distance
intimate relationships are for people who are committed or devoted to one
another, and and willing to make sacrifices now for their potential future together.
All important relationships require care and attention.
Probably everyone in a relationship feels frustrated sometimes, and distance
can worsen the frustration. Long distance relationships will test you both.
Remember that real relationships have real relationship conflicts! Some
key questions are:
Perhaps you met online and you live far apart, or maybe once
you were in a relationship and one of you moved. Maintaining a long distance
relationship can be challenging if you and your partner decide to keep your
relationship together while you are apart. It's difficult but not impossible.
Long distance romances can work; and they need extra effort and planning to
manage the distance and time apart.
After our session, I asked my (distant)
girlfriend, "How do you hope to benefit from our relationship?"
She was annoyed at first, but I said that I am not telepathic, and I told her my
hopes and dreams ... defining our goals helped us both focus on what we want.
We talk most days using Skype.
The connection is not always perfect, but its much better than
silence. Sometimes I think that we talk more than if we were
physically together.
It didn't seem very realistic, but we
followed your ideas about doing things together - apart. It's great! And talking
about how we each did similar things really helps us feel together.
Since my husband was sent
to Iraq, we found some benefits of long distance relationships
... it's not easy, but it's so important that he continue being a
father to our two sons.
Many times we both thought that we had
no chance. We both had interesting offers from other potential partners. You
showed us that if we can hang in there for one more year, we can survive
anything. We will ask you for
premarital coaching soon!
We remind each other of our great times
together, and talk about how we can have more great times. We both research
places that we want to visit, budgets and travel details.
We recently decided to get married on a beach in Hawaii.
As long as we see the long-distance phase of our relationship
as temporary,
we can communicate our feelings of security and
happiness to each other.
A partner worth having is a partner worth waiting for. If
you share something wonderful then although a long-distance relationship
may not be easy and you'll both cope with loneliness, the reward for waiting
can be worth every lonely second. The deciding factors that can stop a long
distance relationships from reaching successful conclusions are ... the
relationship skills of the partners.
We help motivated adults manage their emotions and improve their
relationship skills. Contact us solve emotional and
relationship problems.

It has been days since my last entry. Pardon me. I'm truly busy. And I'm not bluffing.I AM BUSY!! I need to finish marking the exam paper as soon as possible as I need to give the final marks on Tuesday. I have a course again next week. Therefore, there will be no weekend programs unless I manage to finish it by tonight. Help please?
Anyways, I just came back from
meeting dating with my new "Seoulmate" at Wangsa Walk. Huh? Seoul? Haha. Now I finally found someone that has lots of things in common. After this, I'm sure we will always hang out together again. And the most important thing is...I feel comfortable with my new "Seoulmate" as we are sharing almost the same things except..............SUSHI!!
Yes my dear, S-U-S-H-I. Those who had been friends with me like ages knew that I don't eat sushi. I don't even have intention to eat one. But hey, just now...I went to eat sushi for my lunch with my new "Seoulmate". Hmm...I think it's not that bad. I eat a lot! But hey, we both prefer Korean cuisine more rather than Japanese cuisine. And we both think that Japanese cuisine is too healthy. =p. So......Our next station will be...Seoul Garden, movie marathon, shopping and of course, karaoke!!! Yay!!

A blog about lovely Waterlooville, a small, environmentally damaged town in Hampshire, UK. Waterlooville was founded after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, as troops from that conflict returned home and passed through Hampshire. Having grown from a small village to a suburban sprawl, Waterlooville faces serious environmental challenges today and in the future.

Baffins Pond
Recently visited Copnor in Portsmouth and took some photos of Baffins pond. I was talking to a small shop owner in Copnor and she said they are struggling, a few want to sell up and they keep fighting Tescos to stop them opening a Tescos Express. So far they have succeeded in halting Tescos. If Tescos succeed, it will kill a lot of shops in the area.
Thankfully, Tescos doesn't threaten Baffins pond!

Not interested in sleeping away your school break? Good, because we don't think that's a good use of your brain. We recruit forward-thinking, result-driven students that can help us find fresh and innovative ways to take our business to the next level.
Each of our Internship Programs is a direct feeder into our full-time trainee programs. There's no coffee run or making copies here. An impactful, challenging summer at AB will let you prove your mettle and ability to produce results so you can join our team. Best of all, you can skip the career fair lines on campus and make up for that lost beach time.
This program will give you the opportunity to lead and contribute to strategic projects within a function (sales, logistics, marketing, people, etc.). with direct exposure to senior leadership.
Applications for the GMT Internship are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Avani, Commercial Application Development
This program is designed to build an all-star team. It's focused on finding MBA's who fit our culture of ownership, meritocracy, transparency and a strong desire to win.
Applications for the GMBA Internship are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Taylor, VP, Treasury
This program will give you the opportunity to learn key roles in sales forecasting, trade marketing, wholesaler network, and key account management; it's the strategic side of how we sell our beer.
Applications for the Sales Internship are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Joe, Sales Management Trainee
As a Marketing Intern, you'll have the opportunity to work side by side with our marketing team to learn about everything from insights and innovation to digital media and brand management.
Applications for the Marketing Internship are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Margot, Associate Content & Media Manager
Program Overview
This program is designed for students with a strong interest in supply chain, operations and problem solving. There are opportunities to learn how a wholesaler warehouse works and how our breweries move millions of cases of beer from the palletizers to the dock doors.
You'll also learn from our leaders in corporate logistics who forecast and manage how much to produce, where to produce it and how to ship it so it reaches your store shelf as fresh as possible.
Applications for the Logistics Internship are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Patrick, Group Manager, Supply
Program Overview
In this program, you'll see how our Solutions group shapes how Anheuser-Busch stays ahead of the competition through the use of technology-based solutions.
You'll also get the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of traditional IT activities like server management, application development, our innovation process and how Solutions provides the most innovative tools to run our business.
Applications for the Technology Internship are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Alex, Intern, High End
Program Overview
We offer semester-long co-op experiences. You'll have the opportunity to work in one of our breweries learning the fascinating processes behind the Brewing, Operations, Logistics, and Utilities departments.
We also have opportunities in our Corporate Engineering/Brewery Support function at our headquarters in St. Louis where you'll learn about process improvement, raw materials, quality and maintenance.
Applications for the Manufacturing/Engineering Internship & Co-Op are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Elizabeth, Assistant Brewmaster
Program Overview
This program provides learning opportunities across recruitment and selection, college relations, employer branding, workforce planning, labor relations, employee relations, talent management, and training and development. Our people are our greatest asset, so this department is the heart of our business.
Applications for the People Internship are now closed. Please check back fall 2018.
Kelly, People Trainee Program
Sometimes the hardest things in life are those that are most worth doing—a wise man once said that, right? We're serious about finding the best talent, which is why we take our competitive selection process seriously. So when you are selected, you'll know that you're joining an all-star team. Each of our internship programs has a slightly different process, but the example below will give you a good idea of the steps involved.
You've heard all the rumors about making copies and running errands for the boss. You may have even heard some companies say their interns get to work on "real-world projects that enhance the value stream of the business." Yeah, we don't know what that means either.
What we do know is that as an intern, you'll work on the same projects that full-time employees work on. Projects that have true impact, because they will empower and challenge you on a daily basis. Your manager and team will be there to help you along the way and by the end of the summer you'll know you made a difference.
P.S. We have office coffee but everyone gets their own cup of Joe, so there are no intern coffee runs.
Absolutely. You'll notice that the requirements are relatively broad. At AB you're not limited by what it says on that insanely expensive piece of paper you get while wearing a cap and a gown. A chemical engineer doing marketing? Check. Business majors running shifts in a world-class brewery? Definitely. Engineers in HR? Stop it. No one would do that. Except us! Find the program(s) that sounds right for you and apply away.
It depends. Will there be free pretzels? Kidding! We're willing to go find top talent for our company anywhere and everywhere we go. Check with your career centers to see if we'll be stopping by. But please, bring your own snacks.
If we don't have a scheduled event on your campus, there's a different date for you. Be sure to check the job posting for specifics.
