Season 3 of AMC's hit zombie skein "The Walking Dead" returns to the air October 14th, and although that's still a few months away, the 100th issue release of Image Comics' graphic novel this past week has stirred some press. Partaking in the circuit was Sarah Wayne Calies (below), who plays the embroiled Lori Grimes in the show. Well, Ms. Callies had a lot to say about her character's motivated arc, even go so far as to spoil some of the actions depicted the comic, but not yet the TV series. So if you're familiar with only the latter, peruse at your own peril. Otherwise dig the f*ck in!
About her relationship with Shane, Callies stated:
"The bomb that went off between Rick and Lori in the final episode of the second season was not, 'Oh my God, you told me to kill Shane, oh my God, you killed Shane' -- the bomb that went off was I wanted to kill Shane."
Continuing: "did everything she could to handle Shane; she didn't tell Rick to kill him, she told him to watch his back and she was right -- and the right man ended up winning that fight...Lori's fear is that in killing Shane, Rick became Shane and that he's turned into a man who's not a humane, compassionate person but somebody who is now somewhat cold and bloodthirsty."
About her own fate in the show, Callies added:
"Frank Darabont and I actually -- before he was tragically and unfairly removed from the show -- we used to argue about it...I argued that it was necessary to kill Lori and I feel very strongly that for all of the other deviations we may have from the comic book, killing Lori does something to Rick that is vital for the story and can't be done any other way."
And more:
"I've said from the beginning, not only am I OK with Lori dying but I think she has to...I've played this character with an eye toward an end."
Sounds like a grim season of TWD abounds...

Hola a todos. Someone came to pink barrio the other day by searching: "Why are bisexual guys calling themselves "str8″?" I thought I might be able to help that person with their question if they didn't already find the answer here.
To answer your question: The reason bisexual guys are calling themselves "straight" is for the same reason that most gay guys are calling themselves "bi" as I wrote about at that link. They're lying. They're outright lying. They're being heteronormative. So tiresome. Despite decades of work from the now-dead Gay Rights' Movement, these gay and bi guys (the guys who are really bi) have gay shame. They don't feel good about themselves and their gay sexuality still, after all this time. They can't be who they really are. They have to lie about their sexuality. It's as if these closet-cases learned nothing from the now-dead Gay Rights' Movement. It's incredible how quickly we're going backwards. I've seen the ads too where bisexual guys are calling themselves "str8." One can see their ads on the site I call ClosetList. They call themselves "straight" but they're looking to suck dick or to fuck a guy or to get fucked. And of course they usually say, "I don't do this often" or "First time here." Does it matter how often they do it? As if they are so ashamed of their gay sexuality that they have to make excuses for it by setting it up and saying they don't try to hook up with a guy often. Who cares?! You're trying to do it now. Or are you trying to say you're not promiscuous? Does anyone believe that when we see your ads/pics on there frequently? Liar. Then there are the many gay guys who can't stand to be called gay because of their gay shame in this new heteronormative conformist climate so they lie and claim that they're bi, even though most of them are not bisexual. They have no interest in females. Their ads/pics are never over in the "men seeking women" category. They just think that saying they're "bi" makes them sound more "manly" or "masculine" than saying they're gay. Because they have a psychological hang-up with the word gay. (Sigh.) It does indeed feel like we're going backwards very quickly with one closet door after the other being re-opened and the gay guy going back in the closet and locking the closet door tightly shut to live a lie and pretend to be "straight." It's called Gay Shame.
Then there was a closet case on ClosetList that wrote this stuff in his sex ad: "Mid-twenties mixed professional guy looking for a discreet intimate bromance relationship. Ideal guy is someone professional, straight, curious, or straight acting who will be my closest friend and activity partner."
What is it with guys in their 20s and 30s who are so fucked-up sexually? He calls himself a "professional guy." Stop the pretentiousness with this "professional" shit. You're no better than anybody else. Anyone — regardless of what job it is — who does their job well and expertly is a professional as far as I'm concerned. This pretentious jerk calling himself "a professional" (Dahling) is just trying to put on snooty airs and put himself up on a damn pedestal as if he thinks his ass is better than other people. He's gay, but is looking for a "straight" guy. Hint: A genuine hetero/"straight" guy will have no interest in you. Just like my neighbour who is a genuine "straight" guy. He has no interest in guys, period. And this guy is looking for a "discreet intimate bromance relationship." Translation: Closeted. This guy is really looking for heteronormative/closeted gay guys or genuine bi guys who are pretending to be "straight" with their gay shame. And what's that heteronormative "straight-acting" language? He means masculine. But again, he's a closet case and he too comes with gay shame otherwise he wouldn't be jumping through all of these calisthenics and code language with the type of guy he wants to meet, which is: A masculine gay guy. That's all he had to say. And what's this "closest friend and activity partner" BS? Translation: He's looking for a fuck buddy. That's what he really wants but he's too ashamed to say that too. Cut out all that bull shit. Get to the point of what you want. Get some psychotherapy to deal with your gay shame. (That will never happen). Try being honest with people. (Can't possible do that; not in these days!) What he wants is what everybody else on there wants but he's too ashamed of his sexuality to ask for that. Pathetic, isn't it? I hope this helps somebody. I enjoyed writing it. Chau.—el barrio rosa

|Game Days Passed:
The investigation of the spies inside Hammerfast continued. The next morning, Darius took a position amongst the walls of Hammerfast overlooking the south warehouse as the others tried to find a legitimate reason to enter the south warehouse without raising an alarm. The attempts didn't bear fruit, but Dark Sun had a plan to enter the warehouse via subterfuge. Using his druidic powers of shapeshifting, he turned into a mouse and scurried his way into the office of the warehouse. Two people were there, a dwarf and a human who was identified as Fenris Tallgood. In the conversation with the dwarf, Fenris indicated he was going to attend to some "business matters" that evening at the Foundation Stone, a bar frequented by non-dwarves in Hammerfast. Dark Sun carried this information back to the group. The group decided that this would be an excellent place to intercept Fenris and his employers. They consulted with Gowick and he agreed that this was a prudent course of action. The group decided to show up to the Foundation Stone early.
As they scouted the area around the Foundation Stone, they found a house that had carrier pigeons behind it. One of the pigeons was out of its cage, as though it had just arrived from someplace. When inspected, the bird had a message on it to Tallgood from a Carthain, a person Gowick has mentioned in passing as a purchaser of hydra blood. The message explained that Carthain was bringing a new party into the situation, a bard who was known as an entertainer in Hammerfast. Since Sarlek's pathetic band was both incompetent and depleted by the heroic efforts of the party, Carthain needed new blood to keep his operation of ordering hydra blood and not paying for it alive.
Armed with this new information, the party set up its positions at the Foundation Stone. Soon they saw a human that Dark Sun had identified as Tallgood, the loathsome Rammo/Sarlek, and an elf that the party assumed was the bard in question. Orsik showed the party he didn't really understand the idea of "sneaking" or "blending in" or "letting your friends know you're about to hit someone in the face with a warhammer" by walking between the conspirators and the door and loudly proclaiming "Deal me in boys!" while they were playing a knife throwing games. Sarlek looked sufficiently surprised and ordered an attack in his shrill, feminine voice.
The battle that followed was intense. Patrons hid behind furniture or left the place completely while the party, the conspirators, and the conspirator's henchmen fought a bloody battle. Sarlek fell, but a grievous wound he inflicted on Dark Sun almost cost the brave druid his life. Minron almost fell to an orcish dark priest, but using his awesome power of diplomacy, we was able to get the priest to abandon his fellows and leave the Foundation Stone. The girlish elf bard tried to retreat back to its forest and little woodland animals, but was knocked out cold trying to open the front door. Tallgood himself lost his battle in the toe-to-toe melee with Orsik and Darius. At the end of the battle the party was triumphant, and Gowick showed up with personal guards to escort the beaten and now naked (after their thorough disarming) conspirators.
After the battle, the party piled up the things they had taken from the conspirators, took a few choice items, and sat down to enjoy some of their still high balance with the bar. When the diabolical Circle of Stone showed up again to make another pathetic attempt to destroy the heroic party, the party was fully rested, warmed up from their previous battle, and slightly tipsy which just made them feel better. Faced with the full fury of the party, the minions of the evil Circle were annihilated without breaking a sweat. Again a demonic warlock lead their coven-band, but there was no mark of Asmodeus visible and no-one in the party wanted to lift the dead dwarf's robe to check for it on other parts of their body.
Bloodied but triumphant, the party headed back to the Coach and Pony for a well deserved night's rest. The Monastery of the Enlightened Flame still had, unanswered questions in their minds, and they intended to answer them.

Maison du Couvent - Le Chateau in Villebois
We have just returned from a week's stay and regret terribly not staying for two! The house is beautiful and in a fantastic location in a lovely town. We have stayed in many gites etc in France and we couldn't fault anything about this one. It was lovely staying somewhere with good quality crockery, cutlery, bedding…everything about it was great! We don't usually return to the same house or location but have decided we definitely want to return to Maison du couvent!

After five days at this centuries old, but wonderfully remodeled, [gite], I believe I've found the perfect base. As I write this, at the Maison du Couvent, on a cool spring morning, I know I'll be coming back. Time for coffee, and then a walk past the cherry and walnut trees, up to the castle.

I recently stayed at Maison du Couvent for four nights, and can recommend it extremely highly. The surrounding area is idyllically rural, but the house itself is also a pleasure to experience.

A warm, welcoming and peaceful stay all round!

We had our meeting Monday, December 3, 2012. Ed Endee, chief of Fort Kent Fire and rescue, has put a feeler out there- they are looking for a good used 12' snowmobile trailer (can be longer) and a utility/work snowmobile (wide track) at a good price or donation. The local ambulance no longer has their resue sled where they hoped to meet somebody with a snowmobile who could tow the sled to resue someone...The trailer would be housed at Fort Kent Fire Station with snowmobile and resue sled inside, so a first responder could hookup immediately and go to the back country to retrieve an injured snowmobiler or other sportsman or at-work individual. If you know of someone or something out there, contact Ed Endee email@example.com. Thank you.

Here's another from Todd Parsons:
The fear of the Lord tends to life: he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. -- Proverbs19:23.
"The fear of the Lord", a man that presents himself before the presence of the Lord. With this thought I am picturing Esther standing before the king in the book of Esther. When we present ourselves to the Lord it tends to life when we recognize that death and life are in the power of His tongue... It is in the power of His tongue more than in the power of my/our tongue, Pr.18:21. I submit to His authority. The Lord will say to the humble, "LIVE!" Here he that has it, "Life from the Lord", shall abide satisfied... Whether your shoes are Esther's or Mordecai's, you shall not be visited with evil, for no evil can stand in the presence of the Lord. There was no place found for them, Rev.19:11-15. The Lord, will profess to have never known them and by His mouth's words they will have to depart from His presence, Mat.7:23. Evil will remain in eternal insecurity and they that stand with the Lord will abide eternally secure... Thanks be to the Lord we "are"saved and "are" His!
Some great thoughts there. We're working on some fresh thoughts from God to post here as well as some ministry things. Which is why we're a little behind in getting back here. Our International Convention was great. Had some time of fellowship with lots of missionaries and pastors. And some seed thoughts for here.
Please continue to pray for Dana and her family, Scott, Russ, Columbia, Jimmy and Betty, Curtis, Peggy, Joyce, and Libby. There's also Mindy. Don't forget anyone else God lays on your heart. There are always special people that God wants us to consider in prayer. And I'll add myself to the list, as I expand some ministry responsibilities.

Having been to a place like China, I was amazed at the number of empty buildings and "ghost cities". My amazement was further climaxed with the news from one of our local Chinese friends who informed us that anyone who buys property in China can only lease the property for 75 years. Afterwards, the land and property goes back to the government.
Initially, that was quite confusing for me as I grew up in a place like Australia. Australia, a beautiful country, a place where you can buy land and it will be forever yours. See, it's not just the idea of keeping land forever in your name, but in Australia we have the general notion that the value of Real Estate, whether it is land or property that it should "double in value every 10 years". This is what Australians consider solid "Capital Growth" where we are enjoying both the increase in value of the property and we can also be enjoying higher returns by renting out the property.
If you're a smart investor, you know where to look, what to buy and when to buy it. Growing your wealth anywhere from 10-20% per year is a common experience.
Now, you might start thinking "well that's great news if you're Australian!". Actually, I would say that Australia is quite "open" to people wanting to invest in the property market in Australia.
In fact, investing in Australia has other benefits like the potential of becoming an Australian citizen. You heard me right, at this moment in time the Australian government is offering an investment visa to people willing to invest $1.5 million Australian dollars (or 7.25 million RMB at this point in time) over four years. It is my understanding that people under this visa would be eligible to become an Australian citizen after 4 years, having this kind of arrangement can be ideal especially for Chinese parents and families who want to send their kids to prestigious schools and universities in Australia. Even though this opportunity is out there for everyone, I see this as an extra convenient arrangement for Chinese parents who want to invest their money for their kids and grand kids allowing them to have a bright future.

Lumumba Di-Aping: Third World hero of Copenhagen
By Derek Barry
December 16, 2009 -- Woolly Days -- Lumumba Di-Aping has made the brave call that no Australian politician has been game to make, callin Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd a climate sceptic. The key negotiator at Copenhagen on behalf of the G77-China group told the ABC (also see below) that Rudd's message to his own people was a fabrication which "does not relate to the facts because his actions are climate change scepticism in action". Di-Aping was pointing the disparity between Rudd's sayings and actions on climate change. "It's puzzling in the sense that here is a Prime Minister who actually won the elections because of his commitment to climate change", Di-Aping said. "And within a very short period of time he changes his mind, changes his position, he start acting as if he has been converted into climate change scepticism."
New phase in the struggle for Diego Garcia
By Lalit (Mauritius)
December 3, 2009 -- The Diego Garcia struggle is moving into what we call "phase 4". Each past phase has had its victories, victories within which there were defeats. And each victory won has been won because the three elements making up the struggle held together, were embraced as one "whole".
Before looking at phase 4, let's look first at three intertwined past crimes.
The first crime – and it is the cause of the problem – was the United States' diabolical plan to set up an imperialist military base in the Indian Ocean from which it could control the world's raw materials and transport systems, and its spy systems. And from where, when necessary, it launches attacks on civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, if convenient, it illegally renders prisoners. So, if we want victory on any Diego Garcia issue, we should never, ever collude with the base, never remain silent about it in exchange for anything whatsoever. The base is the reason for all the suffering and, for victory, it must be constantly in our sights.

"There are Arabic newspapers in Australia, but still all reflect the views of their editors and there is a great need to establish a progressive Arabic-language press which can frankly discuss the squalid condition of the Arab world due to submission and subservience to neo-colonialism", Iskander explains. "At the same time, the Arabic-speaking communities in Australia need to read articles relating to the Australian government policy internally — articles which will unmask the pitfalls of these policies, and will expose the violation and the lies of the capitalist parties. The Flame, we hope, will be a powerful addition to Green Left Weekly."
Socialists, the environment and ecosocialism: a view from South Africa
By Trevor Ngwane
November 19, 2009 -- There is an ecological crisis in the world and this crisis can be traced to capitalism. There is deforestation due to the trade in timber. There is climate change due to unsafe production methods.
The working class is the class that suffers the most from the ecological crisis. Working-class people are in the majority and their life conditions make them more vulnerable. Workers live in flimsy houses and shacks that are easily washed or swept away by strong rains and winds. When workers are sick or injured there is always not enough medical help for them.
Over the years not enough attention has been paid to this problem by socialists. What is worse is that some people who call themselves socialists have added to the ecological crisis, for example, the Soviet Union was responsible for one of the biggest nuclear accidents in human history in Chernobyl. The Chinese Communist Party continues to supervise the destruction of nature through its single-minded and ruthless adoption of capitalist production methods.

By Dale T. McKinley
November 5, 2009 -- For several years now, but particularly since the ascendancy of Jacob Zuma and his South African Communist Party (SACP) and Congress of South African Trade Union (COSATU) allies within both the African National Congress (ANC) and the state, ``the left'' in South Africa has come to be almost completely associated with (and presented as) the SACP, COSATU and, to a lesser extent, the ANC itself. Even though this state of affairs ignores a wide range of organisations and people that can stake a serious claim to being part of ``the left'', the fact is that contemporary politics in South Africa are dominated, in one way or another, by these three alliance partners. As such, it is a good time to pose a critically important question: What is ``left'' about ``the left'' in South Africa?
South Africa: Time for a new democratic left party?
By Mazibuko K. Jara
October 30, 2009 -- Our country is in crisis. There is deepening inequality, many people live in permanent poverty and millions are unemployed for most of their adult lives. Women continue to suffer from social oppression, violence and poverty. The very ecological and biophysical conditions for our human existence are under threat.
Retrogressive ideologies in our society are gaining ground: we are going back to ethnic identity, we have retrogressive notions of womanhood, we have seen the rise in the power of undemocratic rule of unelected chiefs. The state is dysfunctional, corrupt and fraudulent. The state seems unwilling to confront the economic system that produces all these crises. Together, none of these socioeconomic problems can be addressed by a South Africa that reproduces capitalism. These problems require solutions that go beyond capitalist accumulation.
Is it correct to regard the Jacob Zuma-led African National Congress (ANC) as left? Whilst the Zuma-led ANC is much friendlier to the left than Thabo Mbeki's, neoliberal capitalism survives in South Africa.
South Africa: 'The African Communist': 50 years of mobilisation, analysis
The African Communist, 1991.
By Blade Nzimande
October 26, 2009 -- A browse through the very first edition of the African Communist in 1959 not only gives an insight into the time and context during which it was launched but also the courageous and defiant character of those who breathed life into our historic journal.
This magazine, the African Communist, has been started by a group of Marxist-Leninists in Africa, to defend and spread the inspiring and liberating ideas of Communism in our great Continent, and to apply the brilliant scientific method of Marxism to the solution of its problems.
It is being produced in conditions of great difficulty and danger. Nevertheless we mean to go on publishing it, because we know that Africa needs Communist thought, as dry and thirsty soil needs rain.
The Flame, October 2009 -- Green Left Weekly's Arabic-language supplement
October 21, 2009 -- With the help of Socialist Alliance members in the growing Sudanese community in Australia, Green Left Weekly -- Australia's leading socialist newspaper -- is publishing a regular Arabic language supplement. The Flame will cover news from the Arabic-speaking world as well as news and issues from within Australia. The editor-in-chief is Soubhi Iskander, a comrade who has endured years of imprisonment and torture at the hands of the repressive government in Sudan.
"There are Arabic newspapers in Australia, but still all reflect the views of their editors and there is a great need to establish a progressive Arabic-language press which can frankly discuss the squalid condition of the Arab world due to submission and subservience to neo-colonialism", Iskander explains.

Polisario Front briefing paper on the question of Western Sahara
By the Polisario Front
October 2009
1. Western Sahara (the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic) is located in northwest Africa and covers an area of 266,000 square kilometres. It is bordered by Morocco to the north, Algeria to the northeast and Mauritania to the East and southeast and has a 1,200-kilometre-long Atlantic Ocean coastline. The Saharawi Republic was proclaimed on 27 February 1976; its capital is El Aaiún.
2. In the pre-colonial times, the Saharawis lived as one independent community and developed their own cultural forms of expression and socio-political organisations; it was these idiosyncratic elements that constituted the distinctiveness of the Saharawi society over the centuries. The Saharawi are known for being a tolerant, open and peaceful society that has never been involved in any form of political or religious extremism.
South Africa: Democracy's everyday death -- the ANC's coup in Kennedy Road; Shack dwellers: `Our movement is under attack!'
By Nigel Gibson and Raj Patel
October 8, 2009 -- Pambazuka News -- You don't need presidential palaces, or generals riding in tanks, or even the CIA to make a coup happen. Democracy can be overthrown with far less pomp, fewer props and smaller bursts of state violence. But these quieter coups are no less deadly for democracy.
At the end of September 2009, just such a coup took place in South Africa. It wasn't the kind involving parliament or the inept and corrupt head of the African National Congress (ANC) Jacob Zuma. Quite the opposite. It involved a genuinely democratic and respected social movement, the freely elected governing committee of the shack settlement at Kennedy Road in Durban. And this peaceful democracy was overthrown by the South African government.
South Africa: `The ANC has invaded Kennedy Road' shack settlement
A statement by Abahlali baseMjondolo president S'bu Zikode. S'bu and his family have been living as refugees since the September 26-27 violence by the African National Congress targeting Abahlali leaders at Kennedy Road shack settlement in Durban, South Africa. He appeals for continued support for the Shack Dwellers Movement in these dire times of government repression and lies. It can be said without exaggeration that the so-called democratic government of South Africa is attempting to silence and disband the country's largest social movement of the poor.

The persecution of Caster Semenya -- sport and intersex people's rights
Caster Semenya.
By Farida Iqbal
September 20, 2009 -- Eighteen-year-old South African track athlete Caster Semenya has done nothing wrong. Yet she has been accused of deceiving the world about her sex. There is nothing wrong with Semenya's body. Yet her body has been paraded in front of the world by the mass media as if she were a sideshow freak.
Semenya is a talented athlete. Yet her career is at stake.
Semenya won the 800 metres in the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships on August 19. She was accused by the international media of having won the race due to her unfair disadvantage of "really" being a man.
Semenya, like many other female athletes, has been subjected to sexist judgement of what a female body is supposed to look like.
Semenya is an intersex woman. But intersex women are not the only women who have been subjected to such scrutiny. The accusation of looking "too masculine" has always been used to degrade female athletes, including tennis great Martina Navratilova. For years the media focused on her highly developed biceps.
Semenya was subjected to invasive "gender tests" (actually testing biological sex, not gender). The test results were leaked to the international mass media. Australia's Daily Telegraph was the first to run the story, revealing Semenya has internal testes and no womb. This may or may not be true.
Swaziland: Democracy leader released after 340 days, struggle continues
September 22, 2009 -- Morning Star -- Democracy activists in Swaziland celebrated on September 22 after the leader of the country's opposition was acquitted of terrorism charges and freed from prison after 340 days. Banned People's United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) leader Mario Masuku (pictured above) was arrested and charged with terrorism on November 15, 2008. The charge centred on seditious statements he had allegedly made during the funeral of a militant.
Judge Mbutfo Mamba acquitted Mr Masuku because the evidence was too weak to link him to the charge.
As Mr Masuku left the court amid scenes of jubilation, he told his comrades that the struggle for democracy and human rights in Africa's last absolute monarchy had only just begun.
Western Sahara: Venezuela's President Chavez calls for liberation of the Sahrawi people
By the Bolivarian News Agency
September 21, 2009 -- The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez Frias, expressed his solidarity to the people of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic to reach their independence from Morocco.
The statement was issued by President Chavez during his talk with Mohamed Saui, who studies in Cuba and is now visiting Venezuela together with a delegation of young African students who are to take part on the Third Cultural Festival of the People of Africa, from September 20 to 25, on the way to the Summit of Presidents Africa-South America.
"As Fidel [Castro] told you, I tell you on behalf of Venezuela: We support and we will always support the cause of your people, the cause of the freedom of the Sahrawi people", Chavez expressed.
Moreover, he reaffirmed his commitment of eventually visiting the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and he categorically affirmed that "it is necessary that we have more awareness and solidarity with the Sahrawi people".
The Venezuelan president expressed as well that the Bolivarian government has travelled up to the country located in the western Sahara. "Minister Ramirez was there; there are some students from here; and we have been modestly cooperating."
Declaration of the Africa People's Movement on Climate Change
Confronting the climate crisis: Preparing for Copenhagen and beyond
Nairobi, Kenya, August 30, 2009 -- We, the leaders of various people's movements, community-based groups, academia, NGOs and civil cociety organisations, met in Nairobi under the banner of the People's Movement on Climate Change (PMCC) to discuss strategies to confront the climate change crisis for Copenhagen and beyond from August 27 to 28 , 2009.

Call for a 'Seattle' approach to Copenhagen climate talks, Africans demand reparations
By Patrick Bond
September 5, 2009 – Durban -- Here's a fairly simple choice: the global North would pay the hard-hit global South to deal with the climate crisis, either through the complicated, corrupt, controversial ``Clean Development Mechanism' (CDM), whose projects have plenty of damaging sideeffects to communities, or instead pay through other mechanisms that must provide financing quickly, transparently and decisively to achieve genuine income compensation plus renewable energy to the masses.
The Copenhagen climate summit in December is all about the former choice, because the power bloc in Europe and the US have put carbon trading at the core of their emissions reduction strategy, while the two largest emitters of carbon in the Third World, China and India, are the main beneficiaries of CDM financing.
`Amanzi Ngawethu' (water is ours); Health and environmental victories for South African activists
On September 2 and 3, 2009, the Constitutional Court of South Africa will hear the final appeal in a case brought by five Soweto residents challenging Johannesburg's discriminatory prepaid water meter system. Their six-year legal battle would reaffirm the constitutional right to water for all South Africans.
Low-income communities in Johannesburg's townships do not have sufficient water resources and do not receive the same water services as residents in wealthier, often white, suburbs. Yet, the Bill of Rights of South Africa guarantees everyone's right to have access to sufficient water.

Hillary Clinton in Africa: Promoting US corporate and military interests
By Firoze Manji
August 6, 2009 -- International media attention is focused on the August 3-14 visit of the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to seven countries in Africa. Judging by the behaviour of representatives of many African governments, there are great expectations that this visit –- following so closely after US President Barack Obama's two earlier visits to Egypt and Ghana this year -– holds out vast hope for Africa.
But what is the significance of Clinton's visit? Does it really hold out hope for Africa? There are three dimensions to this visit: The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA); oil and natural resource exploitation; and security.
Zimbabwe: Interviews -- The struggle for a people-driven constitution
July 25, 2009 -- The first All-Stakeholders' Conference aimed at drafting a new constitution in Zimbabwe was held in Harare on July 13-14. The constitutional reform process is the result of the agreement reached between President Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), when they formed a power-sharing government in February 2009.
The agreement between ZANU-PF and the MDC sets an 18-month timeline for drafting the constitution. It mandates two so-called all-stakeholders' conferences and national consultation, but the process is controlled by a parliamentary committee. The final draft is to be determined by parliament before going to a referendum.
Many in the pro-democracy movement believe the constitutional reform process is dominated by politicians and will fail to incorporate the demands of ordinary Zimbabweans suffering worst from the country's social and economic crisis.

Awesome stuff - the more posts I see about this lines, the more I feel like running out to pick one (or more!) up...

Yes. Mattel did a really great job with this doll. Hopefully, the sales figures will bear this out and Mattel will realise there is a great future for dolls with this posability and quality and make more.

Good post and I agree 100% with your comments. I am so in love with this body that I have purchased multiples of each skin tone to use as body donors. Today, I stopped at Target and they had the AA version in stock, so I purchased 4 of them! I hear that this body is to be used for the upcoming Wonder Woman doll too and have seen promo pictures of 2 more dolls in this line with different skin tones. I will be on the lookout for them to be available!

I like how well she can pose. I have one I haven't even taken out of the box yet to check her out. I am considering body donors, then I always feel bad about the unused bodies and heads I have around.

I got t AA and Asian kadies first fearing they wouldn't last going back next month to get other two and hoping they will still be around! Just a note are their feet a bit small? I have to see if they can fit regular Barbie shoes.
- January 5, 2016 at 1:09 PM
Between these, the articulated Silkstones coming out, and the new jointed Barbie look dolls, looks like a Mattel is doing some great stuff!
- January 6, 2016 at 4:25 PM
- Champagne Star said...
Oh wow, I've had these dolls since November and I had know idea their hands and feet were detachable! While I do love the range of movement, the availability of clothing that fits these dolls is an issue that quickly came up for me. Overall, I do prefer the articulated Model Muse and IT bodies because of the fit factor, but these bodies win when it comes to articulation and range of motion. In the end, though, I doubt if this new body will have far reaching affects in the doll industry as a whole. I think too many adult collectors would rather have a slimmer doll over one that poses like this, and the joints on these dolls are not as aesthetically pleasing as even the Fashionista joints, so dressing the dolls in short clothing is also a bit of an issue (at least for me anyway). It is nice to see that Mattel is stepping up their game, though.
- January 7, 2016 at 4:36 PM
- Vanessa said...
WOW, I have these dolls and didn't know their hands and feet were detachable. Awesome! The slightly larger, more realistic body explains the slightly larger Mattel single fashion packs. We couldn't figure out why the pants were so much bigger than before. Now it makes sense. I just hope Mattel sticks with this concept. The designers for this body deserve a raise. Those of us, who have been Barbie collectors for many years, have plenty of clothes that will fit this doll. There were quite a few larger bodies in the past. I much prefer them to the Model Muse and other ultra slim bodies.
- January 10, 2016 at 1:24 PM
- Vanessa said...
Okay, I just tried to remove the doll hands and feet on the AA and the brunette doll and it's not possible. Was anyone else able to remove the arms and feet?
- January 10, 2016 at 1:29 PM
- Bai Yi Lin said...
Excellent photos and review. I've really fallen in love with these bodies. Let's hope this is a sign of Mattel improvements in playline. If nothing else, I'm stocking up on these so I can keep re-bodying my ladies in the future.
- January 10, 2016 at 4:27 PM
I'd love to dress my doll up in the clothes you have her posed in (black leathery pants/boots, blue top/black sleeves and earrings, could you please tell me where I can find the clothing items pictured? Or are they all special custom made one-of-a-kind items?

Babe Ruth League President/CEO Steven Tellefsen said, "Jerry Tresca has been involved with our program for over 30 years. He is a very dedicated volunteer and plays a major role in the success the organization enjoys today. It is a proud moment to have a person of his caliber inducted into the Hall of Fame."
Tresca started in Babe Ruth Baseball as a player agent in 1952 when it was still referred to as Little Bigger League. His league was Sacramento's first in 1953. Jerry also managed Little League where his two sons participated. In 1953 & '54, he held the position as All-Star manager for the Sacramento Little League. Under his management, the Fruitbridge Little League won the championship in 1955.
Tresca continued managing teams up until 1960, when he organized the Connie Mack league, and became President. The same year he was elected Northern California Babe Ruth League District 5 Director, which ended his managing career, temporarily. His devotion turned to the Director's position. Jerry's hard work landed him the California State Director's position just a year later. He watched as Northern California went on to win the Babe Ruth World Series.
Tresca served positions from a little league manager, to Assistant Pacific Northwest Regional Director. He held the president's role in over four league's at a time. Even with all these responsibilities, Tresca still saw to it that California increased its size in both the number of leagues and teams. By 1972, Northern California had more teams in Babe Ruth than any other state. At that time they would have to hold 9 tournaments just to decide division champions.
Baseball is Tresca's life. It was his way of life. All he ever asked was to go on working for youth baseball until the day he died. His 30 years of dedication to Babe Ruth Baseball portrayed that love.

Can a Condotel Be Homesteaded?
The question as to whether a condotel may be homesteaded came up in reference to a listing I have. I went to Charlie Lyons of Volusia COunty for the answer and thought I would share this information. Here is his reply:
"The definitive answer to your question is that the Property Appraiser's Office accepts applications on all condo/hotel units although some condo declarations specifically do not allow permanent residence. Some city ordinances may also prohibit permanent residence in the smaller units due to their size. This issue was decided based on a court decision to allow a homestead in a Volusia County condo/hotel whose declaration said only transient, residential use was allowed. The court ruled that homestead was allowed, and this is case law that we are obligated to follow.
I hope this clarifies the situation for you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance."

Over 3 acres and a newer home (built in 2001)
Beautiful home in between Port Orange and New Smyrna Beach. Looking for a home with acreage? This is it. Quiet cul-de-sac but close to civilization. Sellers family has been on this land for many years and says it is high and dry. Close to Pioneer Trail and Turnbull Bay Roads.
3, 4, 5 Bedrooms in Port Orange, Fl
Sometimes people get a number stuck in their head and they just can't get past it. Take a listing Lucy and I have as an example. This home would be great as a 3 bedroom home with an extra media room and a sewing room. Or two media rooms. Or a junk room and a whatever you want it to be room. Point is it doesn't cost that much more to have some extra rooms. Florida homes rarely have basements and the extra rooms would be great for storage. Don't get stuck on "3" – be creative if you don't need that many bedrooms.
If you have a large family, everyone can get their own bedroom. Features an updated kitchen and updated baths.
This home would be great for someone from the northeast USA or Canada to buy and hold as a rental until they can retire and move in. Prices are low and money is cheap to borrow right now.
If you are looking for a nice home, on a lot big enough to park your RV, your trailer, and your boat in – this is it.

Sales Negotiation Training Feedback
4.7 out of 5 from 28 graduates
"The training was excellent and is being used on a regular basis and broadly across the team. Trading Plans have become common, though not always done with the thoroughness that they should be. I've also seen us establish relationship goals, particularly in challenging negotiations, spend more time preparing and debriefing, and use our Business Managers more effectively within the negotiations."
McDowall A.
"Excellent content. New and immediate tools. Informality, flexibility and ideas for further exploration - all good."
"Very well tailored to the TEL needs. Trainer was well prepared and had knowledge about TEL and case studies were "real life" cases, which is good as you can see the benefits easier. Maybe one more day for the training could relax the very tight schedule. I liked seeing my improvement from the morning session to the 'semi' case study."
"This is one of the best courses that I have attended. The attendees inside and outside of my team still talk about it positively, and my other team members would really like to be trained as well. Unfortunately, my organization does not have adequate budget to support additional sessions this fiscal year."
"Excellent trainer, sales negotiation training material, exercises with good applicability to the team's ongoing work."
"There were many highlights, including framing, value creation framework and trading plan."
"I think the training was absolutely relevant for Skanska negotiators. It will add high value to our organization. Practicing the examples, interesting case studies."
"The training was really excellent - well prepared, well managed, only I would allow more time, min of 5 days to have the material sink in."
Dvorak J.
"Very good speakers & teachers, very helpful tools."
"I liked the fast pace and, in particular, the session on Sales Negotiation Success factors - very good practice. I also enjoyed the session on Persuasion - excellent. Excellent trainer."
"I still believe that this was one of the most fun and educational trainings I have ever attended. Despite the training being arranged over long days, it seemed short and all students were completely engaged throughout the training - that by itself is remarkable!"
"Perfect training, recommendable for anybody with business negotiation needs."
"I now have a lot less fear of buyers!! Anecdotes taught how buyers function. Group discussions were useful."
"The video review feedback was great, team interaction was very positive, team interplay and lots of ideas exchange, great course overall. Interactive, upbeat, well presented; style, flow, timing were all great. Good team effort, knowledgeable and well spoken instructor, easy to understand, overall excellent."
"Very interactive and interesting training. The Disney Creativity Model is very helpful. I feel I have picked up many tools and principles to help going forward. Both instructors were very knowledgeable. I will recommend you and use the tools where I can going forward."
"Good flow and interaction. The trainer's enthusiasm, knowledge and illustrative stories were great."
"Passionate and highly knowledgeable instructors, useful tools, memorable and fun role plays."
"Good training, pace was slow to begin with, improved in the end case exercises were very good."
"Overall it was fantastic, well paced, informative, trainers adapted to the attendees level. The role play was great, even though at first difficult. The Cialdini video was good and informative."
"Real life reviews. Good balance of practical and theory. It was useful to workshop real life scenarios that could be worked on with the group. Enjoyed interaction with the group."
"I liked the practical work, trading plan model and profiling. Many great examples/models ready to use in real business."
"To learn how to think of the other parties position and interests was beneficial. Learning about the real base and aspiration concept and that a deal takes place between them was great. Concession strategy and cadbury case study were the best of today"
"The training was well delivered, I go back to the training material often to help prepare negotiation strategies prior to presenting deals for approval to the Honeywell business team."
"True case studies and practice. Discussion about the case studies were a great feedback. Rob Cianini video was a very easy and effective method."
"The complexity and thoroughness of the role plays were very close to a real scenario (considering what can be achieved in few hours), especially the last one. It is an excellent course providing full immersion. Like most trainings, the quality is down to the facilitator's involvement. The trainer's passion for the subject is real and delegates can sense it."
"As a mostly left brained person, I learned how to develop my RHS red/yellow questions. Excellent role play practice and feedback. Team negotiations between sales and procurement were excellent."
"Impressed with the quality of materials and the Persuasion and Influence video."
"Opened up my mind to new ideas, and paying attention to detail."

VIDEO: The Nairobi JKIA 20 Million Greenfield Terminal TVC
1 comment:
- Anonymous9 February 2014 at 00:19
Kenyan security is very questionable. One of their terminals blazed right into ashes, they are next door to Al shabaab, they had bombings in 1994, their aviation industry , the Kenyan private operators, contribute to 75% of the worlds aviation accidents. hundreds of people have perished from aviation accidents flying with Kenyan operators. Me? Thanks but no thanks...I surely wont fly there or through there. I will stick to first world facilities thanks.ReplyDelete

Discover The Unique Stone Formations of Bull Shoals Caverns
October 27, 2017 by Corey A. Edwards
Come see the underground waterfall, lake, and fantastic rock formations of Bull Shoals Caverns! A 350 million year-old living cave in North Central Arkansas.
Bull Shoals Caverns were carved out of solid limestone by water in a lengthy process that is ongoing. The caverns are still being cut and shaped to this day, and will continue to be as long as there is water to flow and limestone to dissolve. That's why it's known as a "living" cave. Any cave that is still in the process of being formed is referred to as a "living" cave.

canon digital camera driver
Quite simply, the Canon PowerShot G2 is an elegant, easy-to-use joy of a digital camera that boasts impressive 4-megapixel resolution, a 3x optical zoom, a bright LCD monitor that swivels off to the side of the camera and tilts up and down as needed, and maximum overall creative control in addition to a fully automatic mode. Of course, none of this comes as much of a surprise to anyone familiar with its popular predecessor, the PowerShot G1. Both of these cameras have features and picture-taking modes similar to Canon's EOS cameras, which means they have what Canon calls a "very camera-like feel." Some of the G2's more obvious improvements over the G1 (besides higher resolution) include a champagne gold finish, larger grip for easier handling, improved image and color quality, new photo-effect shooting mode for various effects, including black-and-white and sepia, and a new high-speed selectable three-point autofocus.
The G2's 4-megapixel CCD captures images at user-selectable resolutions of 2,272 x 1,704, 1,600 x 1,200, 1,024 x 768, and 640 x 480. This range allows for detail-rich 8-by-10-inch prints that match the results of film cameras as well as easy-to-upload images for the Web and e-mail. Choose between three varying degrees of JPEG compression or store images in the 10-bit RAW data file format for faster transfer without any image quality loss. Your computer easily translates the RAW files into TIFF files using Canon's included software.
The telescoping, 3x optical zoom lens (34-102mm equivalent on a 35mm camera) with 3.6x digital zoom, offers both automatic and manual focus control. The improved, high-speed, selectable three-point autofocus system allows flexibility in composition over the single focus point of the G1. A distance scale has been added on the LCD monitor for precision focus adjustment that works best for extreme close-ups. Improved circuitry allows the G2 to perform these advanced functions with faster image capture times and longer battery life than the G1.
Like the G1, the G2 has point-and-shoot settings that take the guesswork out of almost all situations, but the manual controls and creative options are where this camera stands out from the competition. Twelve EOS-style shooting modes allow for a wide range of creative possibilities, with manual focus zoom, adjustable aperture priority at 50, 100, 200, and 400 ISO, selectable shutter speed, and six preset white balances--sunny, cloudy, tungsten, etc. Canon has provided four presets for professional results when shooting for maximum depth of field, portraits, landscapes, and night scenes. Other creative controls include the photo-effect mode that allows four possible variations of the normal color saturation: vivid color, standard color, sepia tones, and standard black-and-white.
Two video formats have also been included, allowing for 30 and 120 seconds of moving images with audio. Slow shutter-speed mode allows extended exposures in low-light situations. Autoexposure bracketing allows you to intentionally over- and underexpose two extra shots to help capture the best picture possible. Five different flash modes, including red-eye reduction, handle after-dark challenges. The TTL hot shoe is fully compatible with all Canon EX-series Speedlite flashes. The included software package goes beyond standard image processing with a remote capture function that allows complete control and manipulation of the camera functions from your computer keyboard. Canon's Stitch Assist program allows you to combine up to four images into one, seamless, panoramic view.
Exterior design features include the highly versatile LCD monitor from the G1 that needs no improvement; its 270-degree rotation allows all angles of image composition from around corners to self-portraits. Changes in ergonomics, as requested by the users of the G1, include a contoured grip for better one-handed shooting and a more streamlined look. Photographers new to the digital market will find the G2 as easy to use as previous PowerShot models, while professionals will be pleased with the improved selection of creative options for capturing the best possible images.
The G2 comes complete with USB port and cable for connection to PC or Macintosh computers; Canon's digital camera software package for downloading, processing, and organizing your images; a NTSC cable for connecting to a television set; a rechargeable BP-511 lithium-ion battery pack and AC adapter for charging the battery in the camera; a generous 32 MB CompactFlash card; infrared remote control; lens cap; and neck strap. The camera weighs about 14.8 ounces, and its dimensions are 4.8(W) by 3.0(H) by 2.5(D) inches.

"An important book. A landmark book. A book by our greatest living writer. This is the guy that was voted to have personally written almost a quarter of all the greatest American books of the past 25 years. A misogynist, a genius, a comic. A parable, a missive, a diatribe."
Philip Roth's slim book has generated many times its word count in commentary and criticism. A lot of noise. At the end, you look at the words on the page and see what they do to you. One after another after another. All the hoo-ha really means nothing.Do the words on the page do something to you?
And with Everyman, Philip Roth does something. He looks, unblinkingly, at the great other. At death. Where others would flinch, he just stares harder. He is wrestling with it. He presents his unnamed character, Everyman, named after the character's father's jewelry store as every man. This is obvious stuff. But it frees Roth to deal with the deeper questions. Why do people's lives end? How do they live them? What shapes them? What do they leave behind? What do they take?
But he doesn't do it in a didactic or preachy way. He does it by telling stories, stories about a person. It's a very dark fairy tale for grown-ups. The darkest.
The book is slim. The book is concentrated. But it's not antiseptic. It's full of life and emotion and fluids and feelings. It has one or two of the most moving scenes I've ever read -- particularly the one when Everyman falls in love with an older woman in pain, and the one where he falls in lust with a younger woman in perfect health. An interesting part of the strategy is that by making the book so short, so concentrated, Roth makes it possible to experience the entire story in one sitting. Like a movie. Flowing.
The book is not an escape. It is a confrontation, really more of a brawl. In it, Roth says old age is a massacre. He bravely fights back.
There may be no place for religion or God with a capital 'G' in Roth's world, but there is a place for life and hope and fight and memory. And that, to me, constitutes a kind of religion in itself.
Importantly, he doesn't waver. He uses all the power of his art to take us to the brink, even a little beyond it. And he comes back with a prize. Truth
'Til next time...
