Liaqat Baloch -PressSeptember 11, 2013
QUETTA: Military operation was conducted in FATA and Balochistan at the behest of foreign forces which damaged the country. Foreign hand is involved in deteriorated situation of Pakistan. Missing persons problem has become worst in Balochistan. Law enforcers should end lawlessness and recover missing persons.
These views were expressed by Central Secretary General Jamaat Islami Pakistan Liaqat Baloch at a Press conference at Provincial Secretariat Alfalah House here Wednesday.
He said problems should be resolved in all areas of the country where situation is bad. It is good sign.
He said there is no electricity in Balochistan since long which has badly affected agriculture. Government must pay attention on it besides other problems.
He said APC called by Prime Minister in view prevalent situation is good sign but problems discussed including holding dialogues with Taliban and non use of force in FATA and Balochistan is good. Government should be serious in this end. He said instead of military operation in Balochistan empowering Chief Minister with all powers is a positive step towards resolving the issue.
He said self imposed war against terrorism by America has endangered the region in particular and the world in general. Third super power attacked Afghanistan. America was proud and attacked the region instead of learning lesson from Britain and Russian mistakes and thus suffered more disgrace.
The way military dictator surrendered before America after 9/11 it worsened the situation internally in Pakistan and more than 47 thousand soldiers and common men were killed. Pakistan suffered a loss of 95 billion dollars which badly affected country's infrastructure. Lawlessness and sectarianism conspired to distance Pakistan from neighbouring countries in the region. He said process so of usurping democracy and human rights in the country 65 years ago was continuing today.
After the death of founder of Pakistan democracy, human rights, basic rights of people and their solution were buried with the burial of Quaid e Azam. Destruction caused during 9/11 at the Pentagon had deep rooted impacts on freedom of the world and economy. It was a tragic incident. They way America adopted for its agenda over the world increased terrorism and extremism. Instead of learning a lesson from its mistake in Afghanistan and conquering the world, America failed to publish inquiry report of this incident despite having hub of high technology.
He aid America admitting its mistake in Afghanistan and region should learn a lesson and leave Afghanistan instead of conquering the world. Afghan people should be given right of decision of their future.
Liaqat Baloch said APC has shown unanimity that areas of the country where situation is bad solution of problems should be sought through better strategy and wisdom. It has pleasing point of view Jamaat demand in the past all the parties which were opposed to it had agreed on it. It has worried America. We expect Prime Minister he would ensure implementation of consensus decision of APC.
He said Balochistan Chief Minister and President BNP Akhtar Mengal presented provincial case in detail. This is why decision to hold APC in Quetta has been taken. He said Balochistan Chief Minister is requested to prepare working paper keeping situation in the province in view. It should include problems and solution and those gone on mountains. Such a charter should be paired as is agreed upon by all. He said issue of missing persons in Balochistan is becoming more serious than in Sindh, FATA, Punjab and Khyber Pashtoonkhwa. Law enforcement agencies should end this lawlessness and recover missing persons.
He said release of Taliban leaders and Pakistan's desire to extend help to Afghanistan for peace there is good headway.

Remarkably the sun was beaming as soon as I traversed into the Californian border. With the sun on my face and a light breeze keeping me cool in the bright sunshine, I was in high spirits. The ride to Crescent city across the border from Brookings was delightful. It felt good to be cycling in the warmth of the sun. The damp air slowly turned crisper and drier and I felt less cold. The ocean waters of the Pacific actually began to look a beautiful blue rather than a dull grey and the tall grass swayed with the wind.
I stopped briefly at a beach to grab a bite of the sandwich I was carrying and met an American family. They had come to the beach to disperse the ashes of their father in the ocean. I was surprised as I thought that white Christians would actually bury and not cremate their dead.
I reached Crescent City in the afternoon and that allowed me to look up a lead that I had got from a blog. It concerned a Church in Crescent that permitted cyclists to spend a night or two at the community center on the grounds. I got directions to the Church from the town library and was happy to have found a nice place to stay the night.

Eileen Osbourne | Multiple Myeloma Survivor
"I thought I had pulled a muscle in my back, so I was seeing a family practice doctor who started treating me for osteoporosis. He moved away and my new doctor immediately said that I didn't have osteoporosis and diagnosed me with multiple myeloma. My oncologist in South Carolina said that I needed to get to UAMS for treatment. He thought I only had about a year and a half to live. That was in 2005.
Before we came to Little Rock for the first time, 300 people from my church came to visit me at our house. I got 450 cards from my family and friends that I still have to this day.
The support I had was unbelievable. For my first visit, we brought eight people with us in a motor home. I don't know how anyone makes it without support.
My husband, Willie, has been my foundation. He goes with me everywhere and is the most important person to me.
My sister, Hesba, has come with me every time and stayed the whole time. She's been a tremendous help.
I've been in remission since July 2006 and come back once a year for check-ups. I depended on the Lord and my family for support. It was a miracle that it all worked out."

Experience has shown that new values are not assumed by the staff. That may be no different because the staff at the development were not included. Hardly an employee finds himself therefore with his Wert(e)vorstellungen in such a mission and can not identify, thus also with the corporate values.

The insufficient operationalization can cause violations of the prescribed assets, based on a more or less comprehensive set of rules to be sanctioned.
There are companies in which you made a lot of work and effort, a mission statement to create and professionally communicate this internally and externally, but the desired business success is still.

Boots Haul
I just cannot resist a little splurge in Boots every once in a while. They always have sneaky offers that suck you in and i'm an absolute sucker for them. Let's start with L'Oreal and the 2 for £15 offer. I decided to try the L'Oreal Infallible 24 hour wear foundation in the shade 125 Natural Rose as i'd seen a picture of someone wearing this and they looked absolutely flawless. For once I wasn't the palest shade (3rd from palest actually) and this makes me look really healthy and glowy, look out for a full review soon. To make up the offer I purchased the L'Oreal L'Extraordinaire liquid lipstick in 101 Rose Melody. This is something I've wanted to try for a while now and i'm already very impressed.
Moving on to Soap and Glory where there was a 3 for 2 deal, how anyone can resist these is beyond me. I've been wanting to try the Archery Brow Pencil in forever so I finally picked up the shade Brownie Points this has literally been out of stock every time I've tried to buy it so I managed to bag myself the last one. Another product I've heard lots of positive praise for is the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Sticks in the shade Nudist. This shade is loved so much in the blogger world, it's a kind of nudey coral shade, perfect for everyday wear. Finally my third and free product is a new launch from Soap and Glory it's their Kick Ass Blur and Brighten Concealer in the shade Light. I'm pretty sure this is the same as their original Kick Ass concealer just in pen form. I got this to try and do some serious Kimmy K highlighting, i'll keep you posted!
Another sneaky offer was buy one get one half price on Seventeen products and I had a triple points voucher when buying anything from the brand. The Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in Pink Bronze is just beautiful, it reminds me of the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks but much cheaper. Again, i'll be reviewing this so keep an eye out for that. My half price product is another thing I've had my eye on for a while and it's the Eye Eye Crayon in Molton Metal a gorgeous cooper colour. They have some lovely colours and I wished i'd have picked up another couple because they are super blendable and so quick and easy to use!

MANILA (REUTERS) - Philippine police detonated a suspicious package they thought could have been a home-made bomb found in a trash bin near the US Embassy in Manila on Monday (Nov 28), the police chief in the capital said.
There was no damage from the controlled detonation, Senior Superintendent Joel Coronel said, although the incident created a traffic jam in the area.
Business at the embassy continued as normal, with dozens of Filipinos queuing outside for visa applications. There was no immediate comment about the incident from embassy officials.
The police chief said they received a call before 7am local time from a street sweeper who found an old mobile phone with black and red electrical wires connected to a package. It was thought the package could have been a bomb.
"There is no danger, there is no cause for alarm," he said, adding that there were no explosives, such as gunpowder, in the package.
"The blast you heard was caused by... a controlled detonation. We are trying to identify who left the package at the trash bin," he said.
However, a police intelligence official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said the mobile phone was connected to an 81mm mortar shell. "We are still making further investigations to check if the ordnance is live," the intelligence official told Reuters.
He said Islamist militants in central Mindanao, a restive southern province, were known to use such shells to make bombs, similar to one that exploded in Davao City in September.

PV means POINT VALUE
Every registration comes with a Point Value.
When you get registered into RAGP, your own registration package comes with the equivalent PV. So, if you registered with Basic Package, you will have 20PV. This will continue to be your PV, irrespective of how much recharges you carry out via your wallet, except 2 things happen:
(1) IF YOU UPGRADE – anytime you upgrade your package, you will be awarded the equivalent of the PV of your current package. So, if you Upgrade from Basic to Platinum, your PV will automatically jump from 20PV to 200PV. And that's where it will stay until you upgrade to the ultimate package, Executive Platinum. Then your PV will show 400PV. That is the maximum point value you can ever get on your own, because there's no way to upgrade to again. Well, 400PV on its own doesn't quite afford you any luxury in this business.
But check out the 2nd method to grow your PV
(2) If YOU & YOUR TEAM REFER – anytime you refer a friend to sign up on RAGP, apart from the 20% Direct Referral Commission you will earn, you will also be awarded the PV of the package your downline came in with. So, let's say you are on Basic Package (20PV) and you introduced a friend who joined with Platinum (N50,000; 200PV), your PV will jump from 20PV to 220PV. Anytime that person upgrades his/her account, you will be awarded the equivalent PV as well.
Furthermore, anytime your direct referrals brings indirect referrals and the indirect referrals bring in more indirect referral, you will continue to be awarded the PVs of the equivalent packages for those new registrations and upgrades. Unlike in Indirect Referral Bonuses where your commissions reduce in percentage as you grow deeper (10% gradually down to 1%), there is no reduction in the PVs awarded to you from the efforts of indirect referrals. The only thing that can limit you in this sense is the package you are on. Suppose you are on Basic Package, once your genealogy grows deeper than 5 levels, you will no longer see the commissions and PVs of those from the 6th level down…. This is really something you wouldn't love to experience.
You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.
Why is this PV thing important? SIMPLE! It is your Monthly PV or Cumulative PV that RAGP uses to award you those juicy incentives such as:
(1) Leadership Bonus: If within one single month, you and your team members can generate 10,000PVs, you will be slammed with N100,000 Leaderhip Bonus… If you achieve this every month, that's how you will be collecting Leadership Bonus every month ohhh (like say na monthly salary)
(2) If your Cumulative PV hits 25000, you get awarded with an International Trip or N500,000
(3) If your Cumulative PV grows to 60,000, you get awarded with a Small Car Fund of N2,000,000
(4) If your Cumulative PV grows to 100,000, you get awarded with 1st House Fund of N3,000,000
(5) If your Cumulative PV hits the 250,000 mark, you get awarded with 2nd House Fund of N4,000,000
and ultimately
(6) When your Cumulative PV hits the 500,000 target, you get awarded with 3rd House Fund of N6,000,000
Having understood this, I hope you won't just be satisfied with the 2% bonus on recharge, 10% bonus on Data etc… Let's get hungry for more, get hungry for PVs..

Market Opportunity Canvas
Built on the work by Rowan Gibson and his book the Four Lenses on Innovation, the Market Opportunity Canvas helps identify new markets, come up with new market ideas and brainstorm around new market opportunities.
3 Outcomes
from Using
the Market Opportunity Canvas
Come from anywhere
We believe new market opportunities can come from anywhere. Use the Canvas to explore new avenues for identifying market opportunities. They can come from new technology shifts, trends or even megatrends, arising unmet customer needs or internal ideas.
Explore diverse perspectives
Bring these diverse views into your discussion (Renowned innovation expert Rowan Gibson would call these lenses. We strongly recommend his book on the topic, The Four Lenses of Innovation).
Identify and act
Your biggest outcome should come from your ability to identify and act on the new market opportunities that emerge from your work. Don't think of this as a successful innovation tool in itself. Think of the Canvas as a treasure map to help you search for and find new sources of revenue and massive future growth areas.
This was a very useful session for us.
Innovation Manager
Nordic Bank
Use Case: Real Estate, Utility + Bank
A partnership, with a real estate development company, a utility and a bank, wanted to explore how they might partner up for new business development projects. In the opening workshop, they got introduced to the Market Opportunity Canvas. It turned out to be a perfect tool for them to explore new, potential growth opportunities.
Working in mixed groups, on the wall, the three partners came up with nearly 40 new collaboration ideas that could fit within the strategic scope they had. Organizing these into five distinct themes, allowed the group visualize five major domains they had developed, but more importantly, the input was no longer owned by any one organization as "theirs". Instead, the group had really merged their thinking up to the point it was almost impossible to separate who had come up with what.
This laid the foundation for a really strong collaboration, allowing the group to deliver a high-impact project back to management, customers and end-users.
How to Use it
Print It, Stick it to the Wall
The Market Opportunity Canvas is perfect for A1 or A0 format. Print it or order it from Stattys.com.
Let the facilitator set the scene, then have the group(s) go to work directly one the Canvas.
Use Stattys, Combine Text & Visuals
Have participants write on Stattys, ideally combined with simple (or even advanced) visual images. This will clarify message and improve understanding.
Look for Emerging Intersections
The power of the Canvas lies in emerging overlapping or intersecting themes. If you can identify topics that arise from multiple sections (out of the four; Ideas, Tech, Trends, Customer Needs), you are likely to have a strong market opportunity on your hands.

It's that time of the week again where Boots have a new Star Gift Offer this week and get a load of what's on offer at €25, down from the usual price of €54.
Oh hello......
This week from November 9th to 15, the Sanctuary Sheer Indulgence set is on sale and is a perfect present if you want to treat someone who needs to be pampered. Em, I might pick one up for myself as I want to me pampered....
The Sanctuary Sheer Indulgence set includes:
- Body Wash
- Foaming Bath Soak
- Body Scrub
- Salt Scrub
- Body Butter
- Body Lotion
- Luxury Bath Float
- Intensive Rescue Heel Balm
- Reusable Vanity Case
- Shower Cap
Now, Sanctuary does one of the best salt scrubs out there and I have a huge jar of it that I'm still making my way through and it is the absolute business for getting rid of any dead skin cells before fake tanning. The vanity case has my name written all over it and I've lost my panda shower cap again so totally need a new one. I haven't tried the rest of the products yet but come on, isn't that all the more reason to buy this for myself and a) try new products for blogging purposes and b) pamper myself after a busy year of blogging?
Yes, I thought so. Meet me in town this weekend where we can get one of these guys and collect our Boots points. Oh, I have €16 on my card so I'm trying to figure out what to use it on....
This set is less than half price for this week alone so run, run like the wind.... Then have a bath that night due to sore muscles from running like the wind...

Wholesale traders opt not to buy perishable fruits to cut losses
New Delhi, Nov 18 For the past two days, traders at wholesale markets here have not been buying some perishables like grapes, oranges, pomegranate and radish from farmers, fearing losses due to a slowdown in trade after the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.
Traders at Azadpur and Gazipur wholesale markets said most of the fruits and vegetables bought from farmers are lying unsold as retailers are finding it difficult to buy them due to paucity of new currency notes. In addition, they do not have enough cash to make payments to farmers.
Raj Kumar Bhatia, General Secretary, Chamber of Azadpur Fruit and Vegetable Traders, said they decided to stop buying some perishable products on Wednesday.
He said the business has dipped by at least 40 per cent since the November 8 announcement on the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.
"There is reduction in trade activity. So our business has gone down 40-50 per cent. We are buying less of agricultural produce. In order to prevent further losses, all traders have unanimously decided not to purchase some perishable products which are not in much demand," Bhatia told IANS.
Mahinder Kumar, another trader at Azadpur Mandi, said they would stop purchasing fruits such as grapes, pomegranate, oranges and vegetables such as radish. "For one, there is shortage of cash and, second, these fruits have less demand," he said.
Traders at Gazipur market have also reduced their purchases but are quietly accepting some old currency notes to keep their businesses going.
Mohammad Abbas, a trader of flowers, said: "We are suffering huge losses after the demonetisation as neither farmers nor customers are ready to accept old notes. We have no option but to accept old notes on many occasions to ensure our business is not totally shut."
The demonetisation has hurt horticulturists as well, as flowers such as marigold are being sold to traders for as low as Rs 5 to Rs 10 per kg, as against Rs 25 to Rs 30 per kg earlier.
Bunty Sharma, a flower trader, said: "Since flowers are perishable goods, farmers have no option but to bring their produce here almost every day and sell it at a nominal price."
The situation is the same with vegetables. Traders claimed that supply of vegetables has gone down 40-50 per cent due to reduction in demand and inconvenience in trading because of the paucity of currency notes.
However, if the prices at the retail end have not spiralled, it is because the small retailer faces much the same problem that a trader faces -- the lack of valid currency notes.
Asif Qureshi, a vegetable trader, said: "We sold cauliflower for just Rs 3 per kg today as retailers have stopped buying vegetables. Even prices of potatoes have gone down by up to 40 per cent."
Figures provided by officials of the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) at the Gazipur market buttress the remarks of local traders.
They said that a day before the demonetisation announcement, lady's finger (Bhindi) was being sold by traders to retailers for Rs 22 per kg, while its price was down to Rs 18 per kg on Wednesday.
Similarly, prices of cabbage and cauliflower came down to Rs 7 and Rs 8 on Wednesday from Rs 10 and Rs 12 on November 7, they added.

About MintMonarch
Passionate about Passion
Mint is owned and operated by me, Rachel Mallis. I am the oldest of four. I am a college student majoring in art. I have been making jewelry since I was ten years old when my late grandmother brought my sister and I to a bead shop to create our own earrings. I was hooked! Jewelry is probably my biggest passion, but I love to create pretty much anything. I also sew, paint, multi-media, revamp furniture, etc... I'll do pretty much anything artistic except drawing. I was not blessed with that particular talent.
The company name, Mint, is an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for a while. Mint is a color that I love, but it's also a flavor and scent that I love. It's fresh and classic but also exciting. My dream is to have everyone living what I call the "Mint lifestyle". Simply, living with a fresh perspective, unique style, love of life, and the confidence to be oneself.
This philosophy is also expressed in the second part of my company name. If you look at the web address, this is MintMonarch.com. Monarch is referring to the butterfly, an inspiration that came from my honorary third sister, Morgan. Morgan was a free spirited, fun-loving, generous, loving girl, and my little sister's best friend. In 2012, Morgan was studying abroad in Indonesia and helping young children there learn English. While on a weekend vacation at the beach, she drowned. It was a hard and devastating time. She left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. Morgan loved butterflies and had the spirit and beauty of one. Morgan wanted to help, and I do too. This is where I draw inspiration from, from Morgan. Her legacy encourages me to pursue my passions and to spread joy.

Frequently asked questions
Care Instructions - Preventing and Removing Tarnish
My items are made to withstand the test of time; however, normal wear can happen. Metals other than gold will tarnish, but there are definitely ways for you to keep your jewelry looking as beautiful as the day you got it! In every jewelry order, I include a polishing cloth. This is great for tarnished jewelry, and is reusable (and easy to use)!
Tarnish is absolutely normal, but there are some ways to slow it down. Wiping your jewelry with a soft cloth after use, storing in an airtight container or bag, storing in a cool, dry place, and not leaving your jewelry in humid areas (such as the bathroom) are some great tarnish preventing options.
Care Instructions - Preventing Damage
My items are made to withstand the test of time; however, normal wear can happen such as tarnish which is covered in another FAQ question. What isn't normal wear and could seriously damage your jewelry though? I recommend you remove your jewelry before working with harsh chemicals (like cleaning agents) or swimming in a pool. I also recommend you put on jewelry as your last step when getting ready, using hairspray and makeup BEFORE putting on your jewelry. Hairspray and makeup will not ruin your jewelry immediately, but over time, the buildup could be quite unpleasant. If you do get makeup and/or hairspray on your jewelry, no worries! You can clean it with a soft toothbrush and a little dish soap.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Whether you request your jewelry to be gift wrapped or not, it will come ready to present as a gift. After all, you deserve something nice too! You will receive your jewelry in an appropriately sized jewelry box with my wax seal on it. Inside the box, you will find your jewelry nestled in pretty mint tissue paper. The box will be sealed with one of my favorite washi tapes. If you do not wish for the box to be closed by washi tape (i.e. If you wanted to slip something else in the box), please let me know. I can include the strip of tape on the side, or not at all if you desire.
Custom and personalized orders
I'd love the pleasure of working on your custom order! Please contact me with your vision so I can make it a reality. Please note that I do require 60% down after the design is confirmed before I can start production. The other 40% is due upon completion before your order is shipped.

Copper has been used for thousands of years to reduce joint pain and swelling. People assume that because copper can turn your skin green, it is bad to wear it. On the contrary, it is not the copper that turns your skin green, it is the body chemistry of the wearer in reaction to the copper, and it will wash off. When copper combines with sweat, it forms compounds called chelates, which are harmless. Green deposits occur when chelates are formed faster than they are absorbed. A lot of people look for the green on their skin to tell that the copper 'is working.' Whether you believe copper can help you with pain and swelling or not, it sure is beautiful to look at and is perfectly safe to wear.
Fine Silver vs. Sterling Silver vs. Argentium
Fine Silver (.999) - The purest form of silver, also known as pure silver. While particularly lustrous, Fine Silver is not usually used for jewelry that will receive a lot of wear, because it's not durable and bends easily.
Sterling Silver (.925) - 92.5% pure Silver and 7.5% of another metal. The metal must possess at least 92.5% pure Silver to be Sterling. It is considered a standard among Silver grades and provides strength to ensure that pieces like silver bracelets, rings and necklaces can withstand regular use.
Argentium silver (.935) - A modern sterling silver alloy. Contains more pure silver than sterling and also has certain tarnish resistance properties. Slightly more strong and durable than sterling.
What does 'plated' mean in jewelry?
When you are buying plated jewelry, you are settling for lower quality. 'Plating' is a thin layer of either fine silver or gold placed over a base metal (such as copper, brass, or nickel). Plating is often considered the most cost effective alternative to the more expensive forms of solid silver or gold jewelry. That said, this form of silver or gold is very thin, wears off easily and degrades in appearance quickly. There is not a way to get the silver or gold coloring back once it has worn off. While it may seem like a good purchase at the time, when you buy plated jewelry, you are not buying something that will hold its quality and will always lose value.

Andy Westlake tests an intriguing lens that mixes extreme wideangle macro with shift capability
Laowa LX FX 15mm f/4 Wide Angle 1:1 Macro review
Laowa LX FX 15mm f/4 Wide Angle 1:1 Macro review: Verdict
With its unusual combination of features, the Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro is one of the most intriguing lenses I've used for some time. Its combination of ultra-wideangle view and close focusing allows for unusual images, and the shift capability gives additional creative options for APS-C users. However, it still has a distinctly niche appeal. For most macro shooting, a longer lens usually works better, and its strong distortion is a problem when using shift for perspective control (to be fair, it's not specifically designed for this purpose).
Despite all this, I enjoyed using the lens, mainly because it allows you to explore the world from a decidedly unusual perspective. It certainly won't be for everyone, but I'm sure a lot of enthusiast photographers will find it to be an inspiring creative tool.

Our mission organization has an all-Africa conference every couple of years. In the past, it's always been held in either Kenya or Tanzania, so this year, it was a very special treat to be held in South Africa.
Since we figured this might be our only chance to visit South Africa as a family, we arrived a couple of days before the conference and stayed a day longer.
This was how we spent a good portion of the conference, which was wonderful and soul-filling.
But we weren't always super spiritual, like when we put Oreos on our foreheads.
The kids got their own program with their own helpers. They had to do homework every day, since this trip happened during school time, but they still had a blast.
Many, many hours were spent right here. The kids also got to go on their own safari.
The hotel where we stayed had its own petting zoo, which included tiger cubs. Which, FYI, are Indian, not African. But hey, who's asking? Still super cool.
The kids insisted we go to McDonalds. Still blech, even in South Africa.
The grown-ups, however, went out for amazing steak. South Africans know their meat. (And wearing sweaters was almost as equally exciting.)
We went to the Lion Park, which is kind of like a zoo and kind of like a safari park. The animals are in large enclosures you can drive through. Yes, we were this close.
Mostly they all looked like this.
Until feeding time, when they became like this.
This was all very thrilling until later we found out that the lions in this park have actually killed a number of visitors who dared to do things like roll down their windows. Yikes.
Look, Mom! No Fences!
We went to an adventure course where my children proved that they are much braver than their mother.
While Gil had fun taking pictures of my misery.
We also visited an amusement park....
....and a gold mine.
But perhaps most meaningful was taking our children to historical sites in South Africa. We had talked about South African history before the trip, and watched some documentaries as well as (edited versions) of "Sarafina" and "Invictus."
We visited Soweto, the site of the youth riots of 1976 (and basis of "Sarafina").
The memorial of Hector Pieterson, a 13-year-old killed by police who became a symbol of the apartheid resistance.
The Mandela home in Soweto
Hoping for a better future for our children in Africa.

Primary Stages sat down with Mary Bacon, currently playing Christina in The Tribute Artist, to chat about inspiration, the neuroses of her character, and her fondness for director Carl Andress.
What is your role in The Tribute Artist?
I play Christina, Adriana's niece. She shows up thinking Adriana has been trying to sell the town home that Uncle Lou specifically left her in his will. She discovers Rita and Jimmy, who she thinks is Adriana, living there. Christina's arrival with her kid Oliver throws a wrench in the friends' scheme to impersonate Adriana and sell her seemingly unclaimed home, kicking off the obstacles in the play our heroines have to conquer.
What have you learned while creating this role?
What's been new to me is being in a Charles Busch play – he has a certain comic sensibility, that is so very specific to him. I've been finding a way to create a character that makes sense to me, that is a real person, but also lives in his comic world. I explored that with director Carl Andress, and by taking cues from the brilliant text, and from observing how Jonathan Walker, Julie Halston and Charles approached the play and their characters. They have all worked together many times – I watched the masters.
So how did you approach the play and your character? Have there been any surprising discoveries about Christina during the rehearsal process?
I really approached her through what she says about herself, her circumstances, what others say about her – basic acting 101 clues. For this character, her defining faults are a little more heightened. She's not just a little insecure or has low self esteem. She actually prefaces everything she does with a reference to herself as a hard luck victim, unwanted and "in the way." But what surprised me was that she's also quite guileless. When I worked on the hope in her, it became easier to play. If she's just an angry neurotic, she gets pretty boring and unlikable. So that was a nice discovery. Christina has to focus on what she wants, not on the idea that she won't get it. Everyone is motivated by their dreams.
As an actor, what do you look for in a director?
I admit, I like directors who make you feel like you were the absolute best choice for the part. Carl Andress is like that – he gave us a hug everyday, thanking each of us for our contributions. Isn't it wonderful when your boss expresses appreciation everyday for your work? I mean, we are creating art, and I think we all need as much support as we can get… Carl really does it so well. He creates a safe space for you to create. I dig that.
What else inspires you artistically?
You know, I love those who persevere, in anything. Humility inspires me. Hope inspires me. I guess people who don't complain and pick themselves up again and again after great discouragement or adversity. And those who can make others laugh. Humor is so important. It's been so awesome to be in this show that really makes people LAUGH big belly laughs. I know I myself don't laugh that hard very often. It's a gift – anyone who can help remind us not to take life so seriously.

I'm lucky. Today I got to interview Eddy Webb, Senior Developer and Rich Thomas the Creative Director for White Wolf/CCP Transmedia. Thanks for agreeing to do this interview, guys.
As a long-time fan of the World of Darkness I'm really excited for the release of Vampire the Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition, or V20 as I'll refer to it for the rest of the interview. What would you say was the number one reason for doing V20?
Rich Thomas: We really wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary with something really beautiful, and in a way that would not just be celebrating the game WW made, but the games created by all the fans. People's lives were changed by Vampire, and we wanted to give those fans something that spoke to them about the amazing ride we've all been on.
Eddy Webb: Absolutely. We really wanted to make something for the community to celebrate this milestone. In fact, the top of the credits page has a dedication to the various communities that kept the game alive all this time.
Were you surprised at the fan reaction and/or demand for V20? Was the demand more intense than you had initially thought it was going to be?
EW: It really was. I mean, we certainly went into the project thinking it was going to be bigger than some folks thought it would be – the distribution chain quoted us a number they thought they would be able to sell of V20, and we doubled that in the end. But the sheer PASSION of the response after all this time – that was surprisingly intense.
RT: Intense, gratifying, wonderful, invigorating passion. Being able to get direct feedback, stories of how the game changed people's lives, relationships and marriages that came from playing VtM- these conversations were all so much more immediate than was possible during much of the time we were making the game.
I've noticed that there's been some confusion among the fan base as far as the distribution method for V20, that it was only going to be available for distribution as a physical book and only available at the Grand Masquerade or for those that pre-ordered the book through White Wolf webpage. As I understand it, that's not necessarily the case. Care to elaborate on what distribution channels are being used to get V20 out to the public at large?
RT: The original intention was that this was going to be available directly for fans to order through our WW store via the pre-order process. Part of the confusion was some awkwardly written announcements that made it sound like it was only available at Grand Masquerade- the GM edition was only available there, but that wasn't how it read. That was completely our screw-up and caused a lot of confusion. Once we started hearing from fans who couldn't afford the deluxe price (and later we heard from fans who only just heard about V20 at all), we decided that PDF and PoD versions would give those folks a chance to have it too.
EW: Exactly right. We wanted to make sure that those fans that bought the book sight unseen got a special, luxurious copy of the book, but pretty early on we decided that we wanted to do a more persistent version that later fans could acquire. However, between a lot of crunch to get the book out on time and some technical problems in our website in communicating things, we weren't able to really talk about the new options until GenCon.
And I understand that we can also look forward to new Classic World of Darkness sourcebooks, the ability to order older books, as well as a Werewolf 20th Anniversary Edition and perhaps even, one can hope, a Mage 20th Anniversary Edition? Any plans yet for Wraith 20 or Changeling 20, or is that still undecided? What distribution channels are you looking into for these products?
EW: Anything beyond Werewolf 20th (W20) is undecided. We were happy with the response to V20, kicked some numbers around, and decided that W20 made sense for us to do. If we're in the same place next year and Mage 20th makes sense, we'll consider that, as well as other potential projects. We're playing everything year to year, constantly reassessing what makes sense for us as a company and for the fanbase as a whole.
RT: Right now, we have no intention of using the traditional distributor/retailer or chain store channels. WW books- both new products and backlist- are available via our publishing partner DriveThruRPG. We're hoping to do a deluxe version of WtA 20thbut that's as far as our plans have reached.
I've noticed a unfortnate trend among local retailers. Because there weren't many products coming out to brick and mortar stores since the release of Geist, I've actually encountered at least two retaillers that have reduced the shelf space for White Wolf products tremendously and have practically told their customers that you guys were getting out of the RPG business. Anything you'd like to say about that, just to clear up any confusion?
RT: I guess that's natural from their point of view. We aren't putting books into their stores, so it seems to them that we're out. Well, we're not. We're publishing new products for cWoD, for nWoD, and for Exalted, with our new model of PDF/PoD, and we're creating at a pace and with quality standards that make sense for us and aren't the grinding "publishing treadmill" of the 90's.
EW: It's also indicative of how the lines of communication have eroded over time. For years we've communicated primarily to distributors and advertising outlets, and that filters down to the fans. Now we're moving towards more direct-to-fan communication because we've found problems with these previous modes of getting the word out. It does mean, however, that those who aren't aware of how to talk to us now assume that we're silent because we aren't making products anymore.
So…about Scion second edition…..:-)
EW: Since we're been talking about our new direction, it seems like everyone has a list of wish list books, including more or updated Scion books. I wish we could do them all, but the reality is that when you have over 20 game lines and you're making most of them available again through print-on-demand, we'll never be able to do all of the books everyone wishes we would. We're constantly looking at what there's strong demand for and how that intersects with our resources and capabilities, so nothing's impossible.
RT: Who knows? We've got a lot of possible projects, but Scion deserves some love too.
Is there anything you can tell us about the Onyx Path? What little information I've seen amounts to basically the .pdf released fo the GenCon slideshow. Any little tidbits you can share?
RT: Besides presenting older projects like the Mage Convention books, I think where the Onyx Path might lead is very much going to be dictated by what response we get from the fans with the V20 Companion, Children of the Revolution, and Hunters Hunted 2. In the same way that the Open Dev process for V20 gave us such an amazing series of dialogues with the fans and inspired the Onyx Path releases this year, the Open Dev with the new projects will take us towards other projects we haven't imagined yet or will confirm a few we already have in mind.
EW: One of the things that's been strange since GenCon is that up to now, we've announced things once they were well underway. With V20, we've moved to talking about things well in advance of any concrete plans. When we announced Mummy, for example, at GenCon, all I had was two-thirds of a title, a PowerPoint slide, and a four-page document of notes at home (which quickly became obsolete anyhow). The community is still used to us having all the answers and holding back information instead of being out there very early and the answering being "We honestly don't know yet."
How do you feel that the rise of digital publishing and online distribution has transformed the RPG market, both for publishers and for fans? Do you think we're going to see a time when brick and mortar stores carrying RPG or comic products is going to go the way of the dinosaur?
EW: I wish that weren't the case, but when big-box bookstores carrying more mainstream products are folding, it's hard to believe that more niche retail stores are going to buck that trend. Certainly some owners have done some very smart things to keep going, but I think the trends away from brick-and-mortar stores aren't exclusive to the RPG industry – certainly music stores have been struggling since the iPod.
RT: Absolutely. The brick-and-mortar stores are going to have to evolve as well, I think. On a bigger picture level, the barrier to entry has dropped further for folks who want to create RPGs and get them to market. There's a huge shift that's empowered by the rise of ePublishing and our little niche of the overall publishing biz is changing as well.
Do you believe that there is one perfect RPG system?
RT: On a playing level, I think there are systems that combine with setting to really connect with how you internally imagine your characters- so they're perfect for you. On a game design level- absolutely not. On a business level: any versions of the Storyteller and Storytelling Systems!
EW: I believe each person has a personal perfect system, because everyone has different needs from such a game. Sometimes, you have to write that perfect game for yourself, though. That's how I got started….
Do you get a chance to actually play RPGs and, if so, what are you currently playing?
EW: I play in a biweekly D&D 4e game, I play two Masquerade LARPs a month, and I'm currently in a monthly Dark Ages: Vampire game. I'm also getting ready to start up a game at the office of a new RPG I wrote for fun.
RT: When I'm in ATL, I play a D&D4th game DM'd by Ethan Skemp. I'm in a couple of other D&D games down there including an old school version called Pagan Lands by Justin Achilli, and from home I'm Skype-ing into a game based on the Scarred Lands DM'd by Scott Holden. Surprisingly, I'm in two V20 games at the Grand Masquerade, which will be very cool as I haven't played a full session of tabletop Masquerade since the original playtesting in 1991.
Pretty much every gamer has their favorite snacks and drinks during game night. What are yours?
RT: A six pack of Coke Zero or Diet Cherry Vanilla Doctor Pepper. I get so caught up in the game that I'm not even aware of what I'm eating, so I try and keep the bags of chips away or really quickly it's an empty bag.
EW: Actually, I'm pretty agnostic, and lately (like Rich) I've been trying to stay away from the snacks as I watch my weight. Getting older makes it harder to go on soda and chip binges, sadly.
RT: Of course, a scotch near the end doesn't hurt the diet. J

Game time.
Nothing in NFL quarterback Dean Silverthorne's career of media blitzes, celebrity propaganda, and general mayhem had prepared him for the wedding-day brouhaha in which he found himself immersed.
His formula for a happy marriage?
Stay single.
Not that he didn't believe marriage worked.
Publisher: Avon Impulse
Genre: Contemporary Romance
* * * * * * * *
1. Who was your first love?
My first love was Little Joe (Michael Landon) on the TV show Bonanza. I was totally into cowboys and I still remember how, even at that early age, my heart would beat faster when he'd show up on that pretty paint horse in his cowboy gear and flash that cocky grin. And of course he always got the girl. Poor Hoss, he never got the girl. I think it might have had something to do with the big dumb hat he wore. In real life my first love (third grade) was a boy named Matt. So I guess it's no surprise that I named the hero in my first book after him.
2. Tell me about the first novel you ever wrote? What ever happened to it?
The first novel I ever wrote was a historical titled Winter's Rose. It took me 4 years to complete and I had no idea what I was doing. I finally discovered Romance Writer's of America and was fortunate enough to get into a critique group with some really nice published authors who politely pointed out that I did not have a historical voice. I still have that manuscript in a binder--stuffed in a closet. The binder includes all the notations of where I thought I could "fix it." Fortunately I agreed with my critique group that my voice didn't fit and I moved on to contemporary romance. Every once in awhile I pull it out and look at it again. And I laugh.
3. What's the first thing you do when you start writing a new story?
The first thing I have to do when starting a new story is to calm the heck down! I often get so excited about delving right into the meat of things that I forget a whole bunch of other stuff needs to be dealt with first. You know, important things like goal, motivation and conflict. The first question I ask myself about these new characters is "What do they want and why can't they have it?" Without this simple question, it's easy to start a story that ends up going nowhere. After that I always imagine the first meet. In the case of my heroes and heroines, the first meet isn't always pretty.
For instance, in my first book, Second Chance at the Sugar Shack, Kate, the heroine, has come home for the first time in ten years after leaving her then boyfriend Matt in the lurch as to why she left without a word. When they meet up again he's still ticked off. Or in my second book Any Given Christmas, when the hero, Dean, meets up with the heroine, Emma, he thinks she's going to be just like any other football groupie and fall all over him. But Emma, well, she's just not all that impressed with the superstar quarterback. I just love those kinds of first meets!
For those who don't know me, here's a brief rundown of what planet I come from. I was born and raised near the sunny beaches of Southern California and now make my home on an Idaho farm. I've experienced life in such diverse ways as working in a Hollywood recording studio to wiping sheep noses to working as a graphic designer. Only one thing has remained constant: my passion for writing stories about relationships, the push and pull in the search for love, and the security one finds in their own happily ever after. Though my stories are set in small towns, my wish is to give each of my characters a great big memorable love story rich with quirky characters, tons of fun, and a happy ending.
In February 2011, after 22 years of working at becoming a published author I sold my first contemporary romance, Second Chance at the Sugar Shack, to Avon Impulse.
Thanks so much for having me here today to talk about some of the "firsts" in my life. I'm really glad you didn't ask the obvious "first" question! Yeah, and we know right where my mind goes, don't we?

Feast of Saint Mark, Evangelist -2013
Prayer ...
Heavenly Father, may the presence of Jesus within us stir us to do your work today. May your abiding grace, through the presence of your gracious Son, call us to your character and your concerns. O Jesus, please make our heart like our Father's. Amen.
Today's Readings ... (April 25, 2013)
|Feast of Saint Mark, Evangelist
|First Reading:
|1 Pt 5:5b-14
|Responsorial Psalm:
|Psalm 89:2-3, 6-7, 16-17
|Second Reading:
|Mark 16:15-20
|Listen to Reading:
Scripture: Mark 16:15-20
15And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.
Meditation on Today's Scripture:
Go into the entire world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. This is the great commission which the risen Christ gives to the entire church. All believers have been given a share in this task - to be messengers of the good news and ambassadors for Jesus, the only savior of the world. We have not been left unaccompanied in this task, for the risen Lord works in and through us by the power of his Holy Spirit. Today we witness a new Pentecost as the Lord pours out his Holy Spirit upon his people to restore and strengthen the body of Christ and to prepare it for effective ministry and mission world-wide. Do we witness to others the joy of the gospel and anticipate of the resurrection? Loving Infant Jesus, through the gift of your Holy Spirit, you fill us with a strong spirit of praise and joy which no earthly trial can discipline. Fill us with your resurrection joy and help us to live a life of praise and thanksgiving for your glory. May we witness to those around us the joy of the gospel and the reality of your resurrection.
