Following lengthy investigations, Crickets South Africa announced a ban on four players for their involvement in match-fixing during the 2015 RamSlam T20 season.
The banning of these players follows a 20-year ban of former Proteas, player Gulam Bodi after he admitted charges of attempting to fix matches in the 2015 RamSlam T20 Series.
According to Eye Witness News Sports reporter Carl Lewis, this is the first time that CSA is going public about the matter, although there has been reports in the media about it.
Lewis says Bodi acted as an intermediary for international betting syndicates, in which he lured certain players and got them involved in illicit fixing activities during the competition.
According to CSA evidence, no match fixing took place, but the four players were banned for failure to report the matter when they were approached by international betting syndicates. The four also received payments and destroyed some evidence which was relevant to the investigation.
Thami Tsolekile has been banned for 12 years. Both Pumelela Matshiwe and Ethy Mbhalati have been banned for 10 years Jean Symes has been banned for seven years
Tsolekile is banned for 12 years because he had a direct connection to Bodi and played a role in delaying investigations, says Lewis.

This week was big in Apple land. Tim Cook's keynote to announce the Apple Watch. Let's put aside the product punditry and how insanely great the product is, (the mainstream media, haters and fanboys will turn themselves into a tizzy over the Digital Crown and the force-sensing) and look at the keynote itself.
Apple keynotes have been called "Stevenote"s in the past, driven by the idea that Jobsian magic packaged the product announcement and did wonders for Apple's shareholders. How did Tim Cook do? Was it a performance worthy of a name? A "Timnote", or a "Cooknote"? Make no mistake, it's a big moment for Cook, with big shoes to fill.
Apple events are a masterclass in stagecraft. This was (mostly) no exception. After a technical glitch turned #AppleLive streaming into #AppleFail, Cook got the show on the road. In his keynotes, he's less center stage than Jobs, smartly playing the role of MC and introducing other Apple execs to cover the demos in detail. who covered the new iPhone 6, Apple Pay then returned to introduce the Apple Watch with a throwback "One More Thing…" slide, which sent the Apple faithful wild.
The way Cook presents is workmanlike. As opposed to Jobs, who was a Storyteller, Cook is the type of presenter we call an Inventor. This natural presenter type shows up in the way he presents. He paces up and down the stages, using the clicker to step through the keynote. If you watch carefully, you see him glance down at the cue screens below him, to keep on track. This method – click, comment, connect – where the sequence of the slides is used to keep on track, works well for the Inventor presenter type.
Cook has a good manner, and doesn't try to blind the audience with science. For a CEO, he also uses simple words without a lot of corporate piglatin; you don't hear much about synergy and leverage. "That's it" to sum up a video of Apple Pay working, and "We didn't just shrink the iPhone UI," when talking about the process of building the watch. This is good, it makes him more relatable to his audience, and seems a more natural way of speaking for him.
It's worth noting that his tone changes depending on the subject he talks about. When he speaks about Apple as a company, the work that was done to produce the product, his pride and authority show through. It's the same when he talks about business opportunities, squarely in his area of expertise, for instance, "200 million transactions a day" when talking about the market opportunity for Apple Pay.
When he talks about the product it's different. His tone and manner is a little more stilted, a little more forced. You get the sense that he takes advice about the words to use here, as opposed to using his own talking about the company and market. That's not surprising, given that in a place like Apple, surrounded by technology and product experts — the product will never be his 'thing'. But it makes the superlatives feel a little more scripted, like he's more excited about what the product will do for the company and the achievement of the business, than the product itself. That's clearly different from his predecessor.
You may not be the CEO of Apple, but you can learn a lot from the way Tim Cook presents. He plays to his strengths, and uses simple language. He uses slides well to pace himself through his keynote, and he lets himself show through, with a touch of grace and humility in his speaking style that's Cookian, not Jobsian.

Calling all wedding fanatics. If you are addicted to all things pretty, all things inspiring, all things wedding then you are in just the right place. Today is another installment of fabulous mini-features where we bring you a whole gaggle of gorgeous weddings every hour on the hour. We'll give you a taste and if you are dying to see more, simply click on the gallery for the full affair. Starting things off is a nugget of greatness and honestly, red, white and blue never looked so pretty. This incredibly charming wedding was sent to us by Blue Lotus Florals and was captured by the ever talented Engaged Studio. There are so many unique details that checking out the full wedding gallery is an absolute must.
{click here for more from the hill country}
There's a few things we knew going into our wedding – (1) We wanted to be married in a outdoor setting (2) We wanted it to be creative and unique, and utilize the amazing talents of our friends and family (3) We wanted it to represent us—casual, natural, artistic, and unordinary. When we discovered the ranch, instantly we knew we had the 3rd character of our wedding story.
Adam and I were married on April 17, 2010 at Three Points Ranch in Marble Falls, Texas. The Hill Country venue was the perfect picture of our vintage aesthetic – an amphitheater-style ceremony site, an open-air pavilion and barn, and a fleet of five vintage Airstream trailers on the property. Amongst 150 of our family and friends, and a beautifully unexpected surge of wildflower blooms, we saw our love story come to a beautiful crescendo. … and after a wet, gloomy day, the rain stopped just in time for the party.
We had begun our planning with a simple "style sheet" – a one-page compilation of photos we could give each of our vendors to express the overall "look" we hoped would inspire their creations. It was made up of crafty, decorative ideas from magazines and blogs, our fav colors- red and turquoise, and vintage Airstream ads and black and white photography. Adam and I designed and screen-printed our own invitations using Time Life photographs of everyday love stories from the 60s and bold patterns. My sister Sarah, a former art major and installation artist, began working with tissue paper, textiles, and wood—creating everything from lively chicken wire-framed "poofs", to dyed linen garlands and flowers, to our retro-western letters cut with a jigsaw in the woodshop. Brianne, our friend and funky florist, combined turquoise McCoy pottery, leather-bound books, modern bird vases, and succulents for our centerpieces. Her ranunculus-dotted trees at the alter and cascading Queen Anne's Lace perfectly balanced, without overpowering, the abundance of bluebonnets at the ceremony site. Our fabulous photographer, Janelle, put the perfect frame around our story, creating a narrative of the evening that merged details, setting, and genuine moments.
For the food, we chose tasty, smoked BBQ and at least 15 flavors of pies from the famous, locally owned Bluebonnet Café. Our dessert table was covered in vintage handkerchiefs and doilies, topped with an eclectic mix of pie stands from a friend's collection, and colorfully accented from above by an elaborate fabric chandelier installation. For wedding favors, our guests were given custom-designed seed packets with native Indian paintbrush seeds.
Perhaps one of the most memorable features of the wedding was that guests were invited to rent tents and sleeping bags, and campout at the venue. Into the night our friends and family drank wine, beer, and old-fashioned glass-bottled Cokes, while they moved from the dance floor to the campfire. After a late-night serenade with sparklers, we joyfully retired to our Airstream while our friends fell asleep under a blanket of stars. The perfect end to a perfect day.

Age: Toddlers
Toddlers are my favorite age to teach and I am lucky enough to be teaching a 2-3-year-old toddler class again this year. Toddlers are inquisitive, independent, dependent ( like how I did that?) and they love to learn. These toddler activities are packed with learning, exploring, and getting messy!

13 Scary Halloween Health Stats
Trick or Treat? We're getting tricked alright–tricked into getting obese. The treat? Well, how's about getting treated for diabetes? I don't know about you, but I'd rather contribute to the HEALTH of our youth. Granted, not all supplements are created equal and many of them contain just as many harmful ingredients as candy and other processed foods–But, the point is that it's up to us to be responsible and to research the things we feed our children and ourselves!
Here are 13 Scary Halloween Health Stats, written by Alex Orlov at DailyBurn.com
13 Scary Halloween Health Stats
3,500 to 7,000
Calories worth of candy an average child collects on Halloween night.
35 million
Pounds of candy corn made for the 2012 Halloween season.
90 million
Pounds of chocolate Americans buy during the week of Halloween.
41 million
Potential trick or treaters between the ages of five and 14 in the United States.
Pieces of candy a standard pillowcase can hold.
Grams of sugar in a king size Snickers bar. (One bag of Skittles has 47 grams of sugar!)
$7 billion
The amount of money Americans are expected to spend on Halloween costumes, decorations and candy this year.
Percent of children ages 6 to 11 who've had tooth decay in their permanent teeth.
Decayed or missing teeth surfaces the average adult (age 20-64) has.
Pounds that the world's heaviest pumpkin weighs, grown in the United Kingdom this fall.
Percent of injuries on Halloween that are finger/hand injuries. (And 44.2 percent of Americans will carve a pumpkin this season.)
200 million
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes that have been sold since the drink was introduced in 2009.
Minutes of walking (or trick or treating!) it would take to burn off a tall Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, which has 380 calories. (Our Healthier Pumpkin Spice Latte, coming in at 85 calories, would only take 30 minutes to walk off!)

JONESBORO, Ark. (AStateRedWolves.com) – The Arkansas State University men's basketball team will step onto the court for the first official practice this Friday (Oct. 12) as the Red Wolves begin preparations for the upcoming 2012-13 season.
The initial scheduled three-hour practice of this fall for A-State will commence at 5 p.m. (CT) inside the HPESS on the ASU campus. The Red Wolves are slated to practice for the next six consecutive days before receiving a day off on Friday, Oct. 19.
"We're excited to get going although the start of this season is a little different for us than in the past," said Arkansas State fifth-year head coach John Brady. "We were allowed to actually coach our team on the floor in July for two hours a week so it's not like we just started. We're further along from a coaching and teaching standpoint than we've ever been."
A-State returns six letterwinners from the 2011-12 squad, which finished 14-20 overall and 6-10 in the Sun Belt Conference (SBC). Moreover, four of the Red Wolves' five starters are back in senior guard Trey Finn, senior guard Marcus Hooten, and junior guard Ed Townsel along with senior forward Brandon Peterson. Finn, a 2012 Sun Belt Conference All-Tourney pick, compiled averages of 11. 6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game a season ago. Hooten averaged a team-high 12.5 points with 2.4 rebounds an outing while Townsel netted 9.0 points and 3.6 caroms a contest. Peterson led ASU in rebounding average at 7.9 a game and averaged 9.2 points per outing.
The Red Wolves' other two returning letterwinners are sophomore guard Rakeem Dickerson (3.3 ppg., 1.3 rpg.) and sophomore forward Darion Griswold (4.6 ppg., 2.5 rpg.), an ASU football team member. Junior forward Kendrick Washington, a University of Houston transfer who practiced with the team last season, is expected to play a key role for theScarlet and Black and highlights an eight-member group of newcomers.
"From what I've seen so far, I like our team with the experience we have," said Brady, the 2009-10 SBC Coach of the Year. "We will have more depth than in seasons past and the opportunity is there for us to put a quality team on the floor. This is probably the best collection of kids we've had in terms of leadership and team chemistry."
ASU will hold 19 scheduled practices leading up to a pair of home exhibitions in early November against Southern Arkansas (Nov. 1) and Henderson State (Nov. 6) at the Convocation Center in Jonesboro, Ark. Both outings are set for a 7:05 p.m. (CT) opening tipoff.
The Red Wolves will play a 29-game regular-season schedule, starting Nov. 10 with a non-conference matchup at Dayton before squaring off against Arkansas-Monticello on Nov. 13 in a 7:05 p.m. (CT) home-openingcontest. A-State opens its 20-game conference slate in the state of Florida with matchups versus Florida International (Nov. 29) and Florida Atlantic (Dec. 1).
Tickets for the 2012-13 A-State men's basketball season are currently on sale and can be purchased by calling 1-888-ASU-FANS (278-3267) or by visiting the ASU Central Ticket Office, which is located inside the southeast corner (lower level of the Red Entrance) of the Convocation Center. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (CT) Monday thru Friday. Lower level season tickets must be purchased exclusively through the Red Wolf Club.

Radiation Levels Said to Rise In California: Find Out About Your Town
The Associated Press reported Friday that radioactive fallout from Japan's damaged nuclear reactors had made its way to Southern California; however, radiation readings appeared low enough that they did not pose a health threat. Later that day, the Southeast Air Quality Management District said there was no increase in radiation. In fact, AQMD spokeswoman Tina Cherry said, "There's no risk detected through the monitor."
As an East-Coaster whose never given radiation levels much thought, the news about rising levels in Cali (and then not rising) made me think--what are the effects of high radiation levels? What's considered a dangerously high level of radiation? And do I even know what the radiation levels are in my area?
According to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Radiation is all around us." Our environment naturally possesses some radiation, which comes from outer space, the ground, and even our own bodies. What's more, radiation levels can vary from one location to another depending on factors such as altitude. "About half of the total annual average U.S. individual's radiation exposure comes from natural sources," says the NRC. "The other half is from diagnostic medical procedures."
The NRC says that low level exposure to radiation has biological effects so small they are undetectable because the body has repair mechanisms that protect against any damage. However, damaged cells could potentially incorrectly repair themselves, resulting in a biophysical change. Furthermore, an association exists between high levels of radiation and cancer. "Cancers associated with high-dose exposure (greater than 50,000 mrem) include leukemia, breast, bladder, colon, liver, lung, esophagus, ovarian, multiple myeloma, and stomach cancers," says the NRC. However, no data proves the unequivocal occurrence of cancer following low doses of radiation. "Low doses" are considered to be those that are less than 10,000 mrem--spread out over many years.
Normal background radiation levels in the environment should be anywhere from 5 to 60 counts per minute (CPM). Fortunately, online geiger counters are available, which report to the public the radiation levels in most locations throughout the 48 contiguous U.S. states. One is the Radiation Network, at www.radiationnetwork.com, presented by Mineralab, LLC. Here, you can also find links that will take you to geiger maps of Japan, Alaska, and Hawaii. The radiation level where I live is currently about 35, which is interestingly higher than central California's current 29. Within minutes, the radition level in my area rose to 37, and central California went down to 19.
However, Radiation Network doesn't report southern California, where the radiation was originally said to be on the rise. For southern Californian's concerned about radiation levels, a good site to check out is Enviro Reporter's streaming video footage of radiation monitors in West LA.

Interesting article there Amanda... Your link to radiationnetwork.com is a good link with pretty good info but I wonder how "As an East-Coaster whose never given radiation levels much thought" much attention you really payed to the map they provide. Look at it again and see how saturated the eastern seaboard is with nuclear reactors. Considering how close 3 Mile Island is and the amount of reactors that surround you and that the winds normally blow to the east I would think you just might start having an interest in the possibility of radiation contamination at some point in your life.

Please, east-coasters, stop calling it "Cali". No one aside from a few rappers has ever called California "Cali". No one from the state uses that abbreviation.
by Amanda Hinski
The first comment: Thank you for the input. I will look into that.
Second comment: I don't normally refer to California as "cali" in my everyday speech. The Associated Press recommends that the press use the abbreviation "Calif." in the news but that seemed dated...
Third comment: Thank you for the link to black cat systems, I had seen it but wasn't sure which one was better. Thanks again!

The Idea that there's a site to tell us how bad were poisoning ourselves is ironic and doubtful. If i told you that all mankind were slaves would you disagree? Cute and cuddly radiation anyone want a microwave burrito hehe. And yeah i say cali sometimes but I will always sound black when i do, not that i hate black people but rap fails.

I disagree. I was born and raised in "Cali," and I use that term a lot when writing online.
Are you even a native of California? Because, no Californian I know would ever have their panties in a twist over someone calling this state Cali. We have far bigger things to fret over than that!!!

Radiation Network - Private vs Gov Info
The truth is our Gov doesn't have enough informed websites to tell the WE THE PEOPLE enough or protect them enough against any NRC issue...even in this country. The map above is from a private software company where once you buy in, you along with the growing public get to see radiation rate updates e/3 seconds while your setup is active. Try finding one that the GOV shares and you'e out of luck.
When something like the Fort Calhoun flooding incident happened, more information was gleaned not from our own Government; but from Russia. Why? Because the NRC rules say you have to report Nuclear power plant issues. President Obama also wanted to limit negative information on Nuclear Power, even though most of our facilities in the United States are 20-30-40 years old, and while some have proper backup, thei bottom line of Corporate interests never has the people's HEALTH as their utmost concern.
Another insight is that radiation levels change at different attitudes. So when you are flying in an 747 for any duration of time at say 32K feet, you have a greater chance of higher radiation levels than are reported at the ground level. If you go through AIRPORT scanners, their dose is greater than 1 years worth of radiation. In fact, while they first touted that they were safe...the TSA agents are now reporting higher radiation and the onset of Cancer caused issues. So who is lying to whom, when gadgets sell and profits are being made and the general public and our environment are the eventual pawns and fodder for such insideous money over health & well-being practices. Pretty soon TSA agents will be like nuclear power plant workers, being tested for RAD levels and then layed off because they've reached their safety limit; but who will tell the frequent flyers they need to be tested.
Radiation damages cellular growth and changes your DNA. It affects your immune system and with the other toxins that are in your environment, you & your family will need to be cautious. Use TUMERic .. cancer & tumors, Cinnamon .. diabetes and while there are a few substances against radiation/be cautious of your liver...and see your doctor before taking iodines. Personally, I like white (christ) light & magentic apple core mediations. Good Luck!

Service (256) 217-4386 Parts (256) 217-4387 Sales (256) 217-4384
4930 University Drive Huntsville AL 35816
You like the style of the sedan. It is versatile, and because it is smaller in size and stature than other utility vehicles, you feel a different sense of freedom when you close the driver's door and settle in behind the wheel. Not all sedans are created equal, however, and if you have a flair for the dramatic and seek out adventure, it is high time you took a closer look at the sedan that is redefining performance for the everyday driver: the Chevrolet SS.
People are able to walk and run because of the strong, rigid bone structure that supports the muscles. The same framework is applied to vehicles. The more rigid body structure allows the power to be more efficiently channeled from the engine to the wheels, as it isolates the road inputs and improves handling and the ride. In the SS, a sport-tuned suspension works in combination with a sophisticated multi-link system and electronic steering so you experience a refined ride behind the wheel. The weight is distributed as close to perfectly evenly as possible, with capitalizes on the refined handling.
When we break it down to numbers, the Chevy SS is even more impressive. With over 400 horsepower generated from the 6.2L V8 engine, the car gets from zero to sixty in just five seconds. Electronic stability control works continuously to maximize traction and performance, even at high speeds. The SS truly is, in every way, the one and only Sport Sedan.
The interior was designed for you to feel relaxed and comfortable while the Chevy SS does all the hard work. Sporty accents and a soft cabin mean you can go the extra mile in a quiet ride, thanks to acoustic laminated glass. For the full view into the SS, come on in to Landers McLarty Chevrolet and take a test drive in this sport sedan around Huntsville, AL. Push your own limits with a new car that is always redefining the expectation.

Lots of lovely new earrings are now in the shop! I've added some new pyrite pieces as pyrite is becoming my new favorite stone for the coming fall. And I added new options for the chevron dangles. They are now available in silver and brass! A few quartz crystal earrings are scattered in there. And then my most favorite new earring set is the asymmetrical pyramid earring set (the first image at the top.) It is great statement piece when you wear your hair up, the pyramid droplet paired with a little box drop earring on the other ear. And if you want a more subtle look, it is great with your hair down too. The gold chain floats in your hair and creates a little shimmer and shine on one side.
ps, a special thanks to my sisters for modeling for me while they visit(ed). My 16 year old sister who is visiting me right now is the dark haired, fair skinned, young lady with the prettiest freckles scattered across her face. And my 21 year old sister Alexandra is the more blonde haired, olive skinned pretty girl seen in the first image above. She visited earlier in the month. I wish my sisters lived in Seattle so they could model for me all the time! They are the prettiest girls I know.

Chucking allegations, a drug-ban, indiscipline and injuries have dogged the mercurial paceman ever since his international debut in 1997. But when he is battle-ready, he can make life miserable for batsmen.
Akhtar's duels with Tendulkar have caught the fancy of fans on both sides of the border ever since his first-ball dismissal of the master batsman in a Test match in Kolkata in 1999.
Their duel was the talking point during the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. Tendulkar won that battle with a bold 98 off 75 balls to set up his team's victory at Centurion.
Tendulkar later described the innings as one of the highlights of his record-breaking one-day career.
But Akhtar has not always been a punchbag for the Indians.
His 34 wickets in 23 one-dayers against the arch-rivals means he remains a constant threat. He has also grabbed 19 wickets in seven Tests against India.
Tendulkar has often dominated the Pakistani attack with rich strokeplay, having scored 2,122 runs in 61 one-dayers with five centuries and 918 runs in 16 Tests with two hundreds.
Pakistan will play five one-dayers on the current tour, with the first starting in Guwahati on Monday. The teams will then clash in a three-Test series beginning on November 22.
Akhtar is known as much for his mood swings as for hurling down thunderbolts and they have often proved his undoing in a career spanning nearly a decade.
He recently served a 13-match ban, primarily for striking team-mate Mohammad Asif with a bat ahead of the inaugural Twenty20 world championships in South Africa in September.
Tendulkar, Akhtar set to spice up India-Pakistan series
If controversial Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar hopes to redeem his image on the current Indian tour, he will first have to conquer Sachin Tendulkar.
Akhtar has been placed on probation for two years, meaning he could be suspended for life if he again breaches the players' code of conduct.
He returned to international cricket in the decisive fifth and final one-dayer against South Africa at home last month, only to prove he could be a batsmen's nightmare when on song.
His four-wicket burst nearly set up his team's win before the batsmen messed it up chasing a 234-run target at Lahore. Pakistan lost the series 3-2, but Akhtar won many a heart on his comeback.
He is now on a mission.
"I promise I will do my best and give my full effort on the tour of India to help my team win both the one-day and Test series," said Akhtar.
"I have missed a lot of cricket due to injuries and other reasons but now I want to focus on my game. This may be my last tour so I must do something special for the fans in India so that they remember me in a good way."
He needs to keep Tendulkar silent first if he wants to make this tour a memorable one for him.
India have found talented youngsters in Robin Uthappa, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, but still depend on Tendulkar for setting or successfully chasing a stiff target.
Tendulkar may not be as explosive a batsman as he was a decade ago, but he still has the shots to test any attack. He also has an uncanny knack of finding gaps where none appears to exist.
The Indian is the world's leading scorer in one-dayers with 15,703 runs in 402 matches and a record 41 centuries.
It promises to be an engrossing contest when he faces Akhtar, one of the fastest pacemen in the world.

I have a review for a movie that I was really looking forward to, but before I can give it, I need to share a little background.
When my daughter was little, we fell in love (and I mean fell, hook line and sinker, deeper than the deepest point of the Pacific and more than chocolate, oh yeah….. much more than even chocolate) with a show called Road to Avonlea. Sunday nights were reserved for cuddling in front of the tv and watching the Victorian series about the King family. I swear I was born in the wrong era. I wanted to crawl into that show and take up residence right in Avonlea (which is on Prince Edward Island).
As luck would have it, I believe it was about the 4th season of the show, two of the young stars were going to be making a publicity appearance at a small shopping center in Ottawa. On that very special morning, Jaye and I headed to Pinecrest. She was dressed like a Victorian doll, underneath her heavy snowsuit, and clutched a couple of the books from the series.
We waited patiently in the center of the mall, surrounded by hundreds of fans, all excited for our moment with Sarah and Felix, and our personal chance to shower them with adoration.
That moment never happened, at least, not like we planned. The stars arrived, with their manager who announced they had a plane to catch back to Toronto for filming; it was to be a very shortened visit. They had time to sign a few autographs and that was it. The crowd was heavy and pressing and there was absolutely no opportunity to get anywhere near the front. When they said goodbye, and headed out, I looked down into my daughter's little face. Well, no one disappoints my little princess; No One!
So, I did what any resourceful mother would do. They were headed for the airport which was about half an hour away; so, so were we! Out to our car and through the melting snow as carefully, but as quickly as we could. In those days, Ottawa Airport was small, and the road in was a simple street. We got to the airport, which was not busy on a mid-day week day, parked and went inside. Since it was empty, we scoured it easily, from top to bottom and there was no sign of our stars. Finally, after falling on the escalator, and conducting a search worthy of the FBI, we figured they'd already gone through to their plane. We tried our best, but it was not to be.
But, driving away, on that lone street leaving the airport, disappointed and a little teary, we passed a white stretch limo heading, you got it…. to the airport! BINGO! No other traffic on the road, I did the quickest U-turn I could, and followed them. I parked quickly, we jumped the barrier and caught up with Sarah and Felix as they were leaving the limo to go inside. We didn't get a lot of time with them, but it didn't matter. There was no one else around as Jaye told them how much she loved them, their show. She got her picture taken with them, they signed her books and when she told them she fell on the escalator and showed them her torn tights and bloody knee, she got a big hug from Felix. It was great!
We continued to watch the series, faithful fans that we were, right to the last episode. If you haven't seen the series, you should look it up. A sweeter, more heart warming, beautiful series you won't find.
The Road to Avonlea, it's cast of actors and actresses, directors, producers, even the guy who brought the actors, directors and producers their cups of tea, the whole production was magical and brilliant. I crave it; to this day, I crave those episodes. It is a classic.
Which brings us to the review, which I'll share in the next post. Til then, enjoy the photo of my Victorian doll.

Dear Carolyn: I've been dating my boyfriend for two years (he's 29; I'm 30).
Dear Carolyn: I've been dating my boyfriend for two years (he's 29; I'm 30).
I'm the first person he has imagined living with or marrying, and we've been talking about moving in together as well as marrying.
I'm a little reluctant to go for living together without a firm commitment to each other, but he views it as a necessary first step to make sure we're compatible.
He also recently revealed that he is terrified of divorce - which I had some suspicion about because his parents split when he was 12, his brother just announced his divorce after seven years and several of his good friends have gotten divorced.
He told me he has serious commitment issues, which he is just beginning to realize, and that, in his mind, "marriage" means "divorce." He usually has a "look-at-the-positive" mindset.
I do want to live with him, but I don't think of living together as a trial run; I see it as what two people do when they are completely ready to commit to each other. I don't know what to do.
- Not Scarred by Divorce
Dear Not Scarred: You just made a pristine case for pre-marriage prep - not counseling but an education tailored to making your choice of life partner an informed one versus a wishfully thought one.
Given his exposure to marriage, what would it say about him if he were steadfast in his belief that divorce wouldn't/couldn't/shouldn't happen to him? Your boyfriend gave both of you a gift with his honesty about his misgivings.
So use it well. If you and he were planning a honeymoon, you would be researching deals, vaccinations, visas, sights. You can give the marriage idea at least as much thought and research just by exploring the various programs available to couples considering marriage.
Too commonly, people see marriage as the objective to achieve (or avoid) when a marriage is only as good as the skills you give to it. Acquiring those skills will support your vision of commitment and lessen his fear of his.
Dear Carolyn: My mother-in-law is a phone junkie. It rules her life.
Her worst habit, though, is when anyone comes to visit; she takes all calls, and talks as if she were alone. Any advice?
- Son-in-Law
Dear Son-in-Law: Your first choice is to kindly note your disappointment when an extended call essentially shortens your visit with her.
The second: Stop waiting. Go equipped (with a book, a Zen garden, a sharp pencil and your favorite Millennium Prize Problem) to busy yourself while she yaks, and keep visits to a fixed length - so, if she talks through most of one, she loses.

Caltech hosts daylong science and engineering tournament
Published : Monday, April 17, 2017 | 4:05 AM
Over a thousand middle and high school students and their families and friends, hailing from 62 schools across Southern California, gathered at Caltech on Saturday, April 8, for the annual SoCal State Science Olympiad Tournament.
The annual daylong science and engineering tournament was hosted at Caltech by the Caltech Science Olympiad Team and the Caltech Y. The event provides an opportunity for students to test their wits in a wide range of written and hands-on activities, including everything from tests on anatomy and minerals to engineering bottle rockets and helicopters.
Students in middle school and high school divisions completed in 25 events, and the six teams from each division with the highest scores received trophies. The first-place middle school team, Oak Valley Middle School, and the first-place high school team, Troy High School, advance to the national tournament at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, on May 19–20.
More than 80 Caltech undergraduates and graduate students as well as additional alumni, staff, and individuals from neighboring universities and colleges volunteered at the event.

FOR over four decades, nuclear-fusion scientists have tried to learn how to tap the power of a man-made ``star.'' Over the past weekend, some of them finally cleared the first major hurdle on the way to that goal.
The hurdle is labeled the ``scientific feasibility'' of hydrogen-fusion power. That's techno-speak for the point at which researchers know enough about the star-hot gas in which fusion occurs to build a reactor that will ignite and control a self-sustaining fusion reaction.
Deputy laboratory director Dale Meade of the Princeton (University) Plasma Physics Laboratory says he and his colleagues have reached that point with a series of experiments begun Dec. 9. Using the laboratory's Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, they have reached power levels never attained before while, for the first time, burning the kind of hydrogen fuel mix that a future commercial fusion power plant might use. This is a mix of deuterium (doubly heavy hydrogen) and tritium (triply heavy hydrogen). It has enabled the Princeton reactor to reach power outputs of 4 to 5 megawatts - the goal Dr. Meade wanted to meet before shutting down for the holidays.
Meanwhile, Europe, Japan, Russia, and the United States are preparing to make a run at the next major hurdle on the path to commercial fusion power - building a fusion reactor that produces more power than it consumes. They are equal partners in the International Thermonuclear Reactor (ITER) project. With this machine, they hope to demonstrate ``engineering feasibility'' - techno-speak for finding out what it takes to build a practical power plant.
The Princeton experiments should provide the final pieces of basic scientific knowledge the ITER project needs. These have to do with how the deuterium-tritium mix behaves at temperatures of several hundred million degrees while being confined and controlled by strong magnetic forces. Reaching this stage of scientific feasibility is a significant achievement for the world effort to develop fusion power. It also is a triumph of humility over arrogance and of cooperation over rivalry.
Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States cloaked their early fusion work in secrecy. Each hoped to beat the others in demonstrating a fusion reactor that produced net power. Many scientists thought they could do it in a few years. After all, they produced the hydrogen bomb in less than a decade. Shouldn't controlling fusion be just as easy?
They soon learned a humbling lesson. They were dealing with a new form of matter that didn't behave as their simplistic theories expected. This is plasma - a gas so hot the electrons are stripped from its atoms, leaving a mixture of negatively charged electrons and positively charged hydrogen nuclei. This is star stuff. The fusion researchers soon discovered they didn't know how to handle it. It's too hot for any material container to hold. Magnetic forces can confine it. But it easily wriggled out of the crude magnetic ``bottles'' of the 1950s.
Frustrated, the rivals took down the secrecy walls in 1958 and discovered that their scientific teams were all equally baffled. Thus began the world quest for fusion power.
The technical challenge has been tough. The ups and downs of political and budgetary priorities have slowed national research programs. It will likely take 10 to 15 years to demonstrate engineering feasibility. After that, there's the challenge of commercial feasibility - designing practical fusion reactors that electric utilities will buy and run.

Spambots back[edit]
It looks like they started in earnest right after the massive creation of spam pages by a single user. Any chance that the small internal change to the ConfirmEdit extension that you did last year to thwart the automated spambot scripts somehow got undone when the "mass delete" option got added? --Fyzixfighter (talk) 03:58, 3 October 2014 (CEST)
- I'm afraid not. What I originally did was to replace the names of some form fields. I changed them again now. If that doesn't help, I'll have to figure out something else. — SvdB (talk) 23:53, 8 October 2014 (CEST)
Looks like spambots are back again making a bunch of new user accounts. No spam pages yet. It seems to coincide with the upgrading of the MediaWiki software? --Fyzixfighter (talk) 14:09, 24 February 2016 (CET)
- It may actually be the case that since the upgrade before this one, creating new accounts was broken completely.
- I'll see what I can do. — SvdB (talk) 13:23, 27 February 2016 (CET)

WikiLeaks just dumped more emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta, and there are more bombshells.
We're learning just "how the sausage is made" and exactly how underhanded Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign is.
Now, an email from Podesta which dates back to his role on Barack Obama's presidential transition team in 2008 has been revealed, where he says they "don't need to be nice" to Bush as he exits the White House.
Democrats have absolutely no class! Outrageous…
As the Washington Examiner reported:
Former President George W. Bush's friendly outreach to Michelle and Barack Obama after the 2008 election was met with a snarl from the incoming president's transition team and a harsh, "We don't need to be this nice," according to a newly leaked email from Obama's transition co-director John Podesta.
The fanged comment came in an email discussing a statement the Obama team planned to issue after the 2008 presidential victor and his wife met with Bush and wife Laura at the White House.[…]
The trail of emails among top Obama aides included a draft statement that thanked the Bushes for the invitation, and also gave some praise to Bush for working to dig the country out of the mortgage and housing mess that bruised his second term.
Hillary Clinton likes to say "When they go low, we go high." Apparently, Democrats don't really believe that.
President Bush had many faults, but he was 100% classy and deserves respect.
What do you think of Team Obama and Team Hillary's treatment of President George W. Bush? Please leave us a comment (below) and tell us.

text: Boys May Shorten Their Moms' Lives And not just because they become teenage boys By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Feb 27, 2013 10:08 AM CST 11 comments Comments Could this guy mean a shorter lifespan? (Shutterstock) (Newser) – Are sons bad for your health? A Finnish study finds that women who had several don't live as long after the last birth as do women who have daughters. The research, however, may be a bit dated: Researchers reviewed 300 years of parish data, and most of the women involved were born before 1960, LiveScience reports. In the records of 11,000 women, authors found that more sons were tied to shorter life spans after the final birth. "Girls in many traditional societies are, as we know, much more helpful to mothers than boys," says an expert who didn't work on the study. "They may help with child care; they may help with many tasks." Also, boys' tendency to be heavier babies could mean they require more nutrients from their mothers during pregnancy and breast-feeding. On the other hand, in societies like China, sons appear to be linked to longer maternal lives. Either way, in a post-industrial society with birth control and more food availability, things may be different today, an author says.

Ala. top attorney: County can't ban guns at polls
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama's attorney general says a county commission lacks authority to prohibit firearms at polling places.
The Chambers County Commission sought the advice of Attorney General Luther Strange after some voters brought guns to the polls in the June 3 primary election in Chambers and Shelby counties. In Chambers County, signs saying "no weapons" were posted at some precincts, but they were later removed.
The attorney general's advisory opinion says state law doesn't give county commissions authority to ban weapons. But it says state and federal laws that ban weapons in public buildings such as courthouses and schools still apply when they are used as polling places. It also says churches and other private buildings used as polling places may ban guns.
The opinion applies to the runoff election July 15.

This means that if you are male, you have a 20 percent chance in getting the condition. Fortunately for you, you can use generic Levitra to counter the effect that erectile dysfunction has done to you.

Where to get Cheap Levitra
Developing erectile dysfunction (ED) is not an easy thing for men who are still at the peak of their sexual activeness. This is because when you have the condition, not only does it prevent you from enjoying sex on many occasions, but you also need to spend money just to get the erection required to have sex – something which you did not have to spend money on when you still had normal erectile functions. However, for some men, this is something that they must live with. After all, one out of five men will develop erectile dysfunction which means every men has a 20 percent chance in getting male impotence within their lifetime.
Buying ED treatment drugs is not cheap, especially when you need to use the drug regularly due to your active sex life. When it comes to ED remedies, the most highly sought after is Levitra as this is not only the safest and fastest-acting ED treatment drug, but it is also the most effective. Due to this, finding where to buy cheap Levitra becomes a quest because if you know where you can get cheap Levitra, you will be able to save a lot of money on the drug that you are really going to use.

Where Can You Buy Levitra?
Levitra is one of the most crucial entry in the world of PDE5 inhibitor drugs. This erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment drug happens to be the most effective as it has the highest efficacy rating of any PDE5 inhibitor drugs currently available in the market. If you buy Levitra, you will be able to effectively remedy your male impotence. Basically, if you are erectile impaired, it means you cannot successfully engage in sexual intercourse as a penile erection is necessary to vaginally penetrate your female partner. Of course, if you were to buy Levitra, you will be able to gain the erection you need so you can have successfully have sex with your lady partner.
There are different causal factors as to why a man gets erectile impaired. However, for most of these reasons, men who buy Levitra are able to successfully achieve penile erection and thus be able to have sex with their female partners. When it comes down to it, men buy Levitra PDE5 inhibitor because they know that they have a better chance of having their erectile condition treated if they buy Levitra. In addition to this, different research and survey programs organized by different scientific groups show that Levitra is the most effective ED treatment and why most men prefer to buy Levitra more than any other ED treatment drug.

My greatest thanks for this special ARISS event. It's new challenges encourage me to hone my equipment up to standard (which is arguably the serious point of the thing). My frustration has been that due to work commitments (which I do in my spare time from satellites, hi) I haven't had any time except weekends, and just got my 9k6 tnc adjusted so that it'll properly modulate my rig, and the 9k6 effort has now stopped. But I see that there's a programme gap between the 3rd and 15th of January? So I am sending this to the -bb because others may have their wish list too!! 73 de andy g0SFJ _______________________________________________ Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Animals, Inc.
by Kenneth A. Tucker and Vandana Allman
Warner Business ©2004, 152 pages, $18.95 (ISBN # 0-446-53049-2).
A Business Parable For the 21st Century
When complex business principles become too cumbersome to explain with real-life examples, a new approach can work wonders. As an alternative to a straightforward business book, a parable can be an effective way to explain sound business practices and the mistakes that occur when a company undergoes a major shift. In Animals, Inc., business consultants Kenneth A. Tucker and Vandana Allman offer a modern business parable that provides deep insight into what can happen when a new owner takes over an old enterprise, and how that enterprise can use common sense to wade through the quagmire of conflicting business theories.
The tale Tucker and Allman weave is full of animals who represent the familiar characters in every business. Old Farmer Goode is the outgoing leader who leaves his farm to the animals who have populated the farm for years. An experienced pig, Mo, rises to the occasion of replacing him, but finds that leading the diverse types of animals under him is a challenging task. Not only does he become bogged down with creating the perfect business plan, but he is under the constant external pressure of Mr. Biggs, a developer who has plans to turn the Goode farm into a shopping mall. While the threat of his hostile takeover looms over Mo's enterprise, the various factions of animals cope with motivation and morale, performance expectations, and muddling through the obstacles that constantly arise during their daily activities.
Real-Life Problems In a Make-Believe Setting
The difficulties faced by the animals in Animals, Inc. reveal the real dilemmas faced by leaders and managers every day in the real world. By placing them within the context of a make-believe world where animals talk and a scarecrow serves as chief security officer, real executives can learn more about their own business practices. Insightful lessons about human resources decisions, marketing strategies, external and internal threats, and even compensation decisions pour out from every page of Animals, Inc. With important messages imbedded in a fairy-tale setting, real-life leaders can take a hard look at the ways they would respond to similar challenges, and learn better ways to approach the types of problems encountered by the characters on the Goode farm.
Once upon a time, farmer Goode had a prospering farm on which all the animals were well cared for. When the old farmer retires to Greener Pastures Retirement Home, the animals rise to the occasion and take on the hard work of keeping the farm in operation. Resisting the threat of Mr. Biggs, the unscrupulous land developer, is hard enough, but when the new CEO, Mo the pig, struggles to create a working business plan, he is overwhelmed by the many conflicting business strategies he finds in the books that fill Farmer Goode's old office.
First, Mo tries an "animal opinion survey" to find out where everyone on the farm stands, complete with arbitrary questions and management bias. Once communication problems are dealt with and competencies are determined, he proceeds to muck up the works with poorly planned initiatives and misdirected objectives. Trouble with agricultural espionage and a gang of disloyal pigeons keeps Mo on his hooves, but his desire to keep the animals happy and equal remains. Despite making the mistake of trusting the results of his studies and surveys over his own common sense (e.g., Lionel Engine the mouse, despite his diminutive size, is assigned to drive the tractor since it is determined that he has the right motivation and leadership potential), Mo muddles through the difficulties of translating management theories into executive actions.
Real Connections
With a sly sense of humor, plenty of animal puns, and numerous connections to the real world of business (including the real difficulties of re-engineering an aging enterprise), Animals, Inc. raises many crucial issues about management and leadership. Because it is a parable, it is able to reveal the answers to many universal business questions without the support of statistics and case studies. In Animals, Inc., Mo becomes the visionary executive leader who strives to make wise decisions, works to add dignity to the lives of his workers (the "hen house" becomes the "Female Chickens' residence"), and rises to the occasion of his new leadership role. Much can be learned from the story of a pig. ~
Why We Like ThIs Book
Animals, Inc. reveals numerous dimensions of business and offers practical insights at every turn. Taking its cue from George Orwell's Animal Farm and revising his ideas into the story of a modern business turnaround, Tucker and Allman have created a noteworthy microscope of a parable within which leaders can observe their own organizations and learn better ways to lead them to success. ~

The Glory of the Conquered, The Story of a Great Love is Susan Glaspell's first novel. Published in 1909, the novel brims with the optimism of the Progressive Era. The "great love" mentioned in the novel's subtitle refers not only to the marriage of the central characters, Ernestine Stanley and Dr. Karl Hubers, but also, on the level of allegory, to a marriage of art and science: Ernestine is a promising young painter, one of her pictures having received acclaim when exhibited in a Paris salon, while Karl is a brilliant medical researcher on the faculty of the University of Chicago; he is expected to cure cancer. As much as the couple's romance is idealized, so are their respective professions, which are regarded alongside all …

ANAHEIM – Jhoulys Chacin finally feels right again.
Chacin, who joined the Angels on Thursday to plug a hole in their injury-torn rotation, said this season is the first since 2013 that he's felt fully healthy.
In 2014, he dealt with a shoulder problem that dogged him into last season.
"It was hard for me throw the ball, not even pitching," Chacin said. "Just throwing the ball was hard for me. It was a long process for me to get back to where I am right now."
The Angels, who are desperate for help in the rotation, are certainly hoping that Chacin feels good enough to pitch like he did for most of his career.
Through 2013, Chacin had a 3.61 ERA, despite pitching his entire career to that point with the Colorado Rockies. The next two years were interrupted by the injury and the slow rehab, with Chacin pitching just 16 games in the majors.
It was until this winter, pitching in Venezuela, that he finally felt 100 percent again.
"I could throw seven or eight innings and the next day I felt fine," Chacin said. "That's when I felt everything was back to normal."
Although Chacin had a 5.40 ERA with the Atlanta Braves before he was traded to the Angels on Wednesday, much of the damage came in one game. He had a 3.27 ERA through his first four starts, then gave up eight runs in one game.
His Angels debut will come on Saturday at Seattle. A free agent at the end of the season, Chacin is not only hoping to help the Angels, but to re-establish himself.
"I feel like I'm going to have the opportunity I've been waiting for," Chacin said. "Hopefully I can take advantage of that and pitch good."

Throughout 2015, John Nichols, an artist and musician based out of Miami, Florida created and produced his debut EP, Beach. During this process, John connected with us and proposed the idea of working together to create an overarching identity and visual story to accompany the release of his EP. John is an incredibly talented musician, and the nicest guy to work with, so we quickly said yes.
Beach is a story and a broader commentary on an individual's internal battle derived from doubt, heartbreak, and an overwhelming desire for personal acceptance. Inspired and driven by these ideas, we crafted a visual representation of the complex, internal struggles present in all of us. To illustrate this idea, we utilized a visual dichotomy of character, setting, and color to aid in the communication of the struggle between doubt and hope.
- Breakdown
When under pressure our innate nature as humans is to see the world in contrast, as opposing forces, and as black and white. Through the use of achromatic visuals, we pulled on the ideas of our human nature to convey this sense of doubt. Supporting this idea, we incorporated the glitch effect into the achromatic visuals to portray the overcoming of doubt by the ever-growing hope. Hope, represented by the colored visuals, is commonly depicted as being bright and full of life. The inclusion of the 3D renders served as a means to help better visually communicate some of the more complicated emotions and concepts, such as instability and lost love.
- Still Frames
Throughout the process of creating Beach, our goal was to build something that conveyed an intentionally connected, cohesive story. We relied on strong and purposeful concepts to help inspire imagery that eloquently communicated those ideas. These ideas were the key to creating the final piece in the project. We believe the music video is the ideal culmination of the conceptual and aesthetic decisions we made throughout the process. This film connects all of the elements and ideas that were released in the lead up to the launch of the EP and gives them a narrative support. This support pushes the project beyond existing as just a collection of things and instead, creates a complete, interconnected narrative.
During the production process we realized that we were in need of additional imagery that would aid in the connection of the music video to the core concepts of the EP. Using Cinema 4D and Octane Renderer we built imagery that communicated concepts of unbalance, struggle, and rebirth. We pulled this imagery into all portions of the project and it played an integral part in connecting the narrative to all aspects.

Hey Beauties!
Today, I wanted to share one of my new must haves for when I'm applying my makeup. Beauty is naturally a messy hobby, powders fly everywhere, lipstick smudges and foundation stains so I am constantly cleaning up little spills and carrying around a million q-tips. Just a few weeks ago I was using makeup wipes (specific to sensitive eyes) to remove tiny little smudges of eyeliner and it was getting quite frustrating so of course I turned to the Internet to find an easier solution. I stumbled across a mention of the Almay Oil-Free Makeup Eraser Sticks and ran right out to buy them. Let's just say I have found a new addiction.
Almay is known for their "good for you" cosmetics, being the very first hypoallergenic brand that is completely suitable for sensitive skin. They are committed to making their products safe for all skin types and allergies. They are all 100% fragrance free and safe for people who wear contact lenses because they are incredibly stringent on the ingredients they allow in their products. For those reasons, I was completely confident that I could feel safe putting this product by my incredibly sensitive eyes.
These handy little sticks look just like any other q-tip but in reality they are very different. These sticks are actually hollow and filled with oil-free makeup remover! They're incredibly easy to use, just snap off the tip with the purple line and give it a little shake. The liquid will flow down to the remaining tip and it will become fully saturated. Then just swipe the tip along any smudges or mistakes that you want to remove. These little guys are pretty powerful and will remove the most stubborn of makeup, so use a light hand and be prepared to repair your eyeshadow underneath.
The Almay Makeup Eraser Sticks come in a nice plastic case that is perfect for throwing in your bag and each pack comes with 24 sticks. They have no fragrance and I have not experienced any sort of irritation and the best bit is they only cost $6.99!
My makeup routine has been forever changed now that I have these magical little sticks in my life. If you are having any trouble with smudging or eyeliner mistakes then I highly recommend you give these a try!
