One of the toughest jobs has to be a Producer of an Idol Group. How some of these Producers get everyone to play nice is beyond me. Like any group or team, there is always ego involved.
In just the case of something like a sports team, there are superstars who want to get paid more. Maybe they want more of the spotlight. The don't share the ball, take too many shots, always try to be the hero. Often times those situations fall apart and trades are made. Teams are restructured and new faces come forth.
In the world of JPop Idols, I'm not so sure that's a possible course of action. We'll never know the truth behind scandals, boyfriends, and graduations but it's always that could be an explanation behind those occurences. But after covering those rare occasions, how else do these Idol groups get along?
If there's one thing about the Idol industry I'm sure of, it's all about appearance. Managing your image and maintaining a sort of prestige is of the utmost importance. It's one of the cornerstones of Japanese Culture.
Luckily enough, women/females, are the most adept at this skill. While a man is straightforward and simple minded, women are extremely cryptic. A person could walk away from a conversation completely oblivious that this girl hates their guts. More so, women are also always at each others throats. Maybe it's ingrained in their biology but they're always in competition with each other. To put it simply, the better looking specimen gets the better mate.
So how does this all fit in to Idols? One Question. How do all these girl Idols get along? I find it hard to believe that even group like AKB48 is filled with all non-confrontational angel women. The realist in me won't let me believe that. So then how does a group with so many girls who are put in a position to compete with each other over the hearts of millions of adoring fans go through daily activities with out a nuclear meltdown? It's beyond me.
Maybe it's the case of all the girls basically being slaves. It's completely regulated through contracts and makes them subjugated human beings. Maybe they care so much about their careers that they'll put everything else on hold. Or maybe the Producers have found a way to get them to hash out their differences. Like each week they sit down and have a session to hammer out the dents. Whatever it is, there's no doubt that an Idol Producer is the modern day lion tamer. How he is able to get those lions to perform tricks with out being eaten, is nothing short of amazing.

Published on 1st June 2017 by Orenda Books. My thanks to the publisher for the review copy and Anne Cater for inviting me on the blog tour.
A chilling, exquisitely written and evocative thriller set in the Lake District, centring on the obsessive relationship that develops between two writers…
Bo Luxton has it all – a loving family, a beautiful home in the Lake District, and a clutch of bestselling books to her name.
Enter Alice Dark, an aspiring writer who is drifting through life, with a series of dead-end jobs and a freeloading boyfriend.
When they meet at a writers' retreat, the chemistry is instant, and a sinister relationship develops…
Or does it?
Breathlessly pacey, taut and terrifying, Exquisite is a startlingly original and unbalancing psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
My Thoughts:
Delighted that I am finally able to share my review of Exquisite. An absolute page turner of a novel that kept me up for hours and left me thinking for days after finishing it.
Exquisite is a story of obsession told from the perspectives of both Bo Luxton and Alice Dark. Bo is a well known Author who runs a writing retreat and Alice is a writer just starting out, who sees the retreat as a way of furthering her writing hopes and dreams.
The ladies have an immediate connection, sharing emails etc when they both return home, but it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems. From here on in the plot is tense and riveting and sucks the reader in, never quite sure what is going to happen next and what the final outcome will be. Two damaged women that are both at points in their lives where they are not particularly happy. At 250 pages, Exquisite is relatively short but it manages to deliver on so many fronts. Thought provoking, scary, exciting and really disturbing.
Tension mounts throughout as an unease and sense of foreboding falls on to every page. Exquisite is also beautifully written with wonderful prose and a real sense of place. The writing about the Lake District was particularly good. Short, sharp chapters help to keep the pace of the story moving and as the main protagonists are both unreliable narrators makes this book so special.
I will not forget this book in a hurry. One of the best in the genre and most certainly it will be one of my favourites this year.

Gas, Gas and More Gas
Everyone farts and everyone burps; there's no way around it. If you eat, you produce gas as the bacteria in your digestive system break down those foods. On average, you're passing gas anywhere between 14 and 23 times a day. Think about that; you could be farting or burping once every hour [source: Jaret].
The gas producing those farts and burps contains carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sometimes methane -- and sometimes sulfur (only in farts, though) [source: National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse]. Certain foods will cause your body to produce more gas, and those include high-fiber and sugary foods, such as those notorious gas-encouragers: beans and broccoli. For some people, wheat or dairy -- and products that contain wheat or dairy -- can cause also contribute to gassiness, belching, farting and abdominal bloating because their bodies can't properly digest those foods. Often the cause, though, is nothing more than swallowed air.

Selecting the right year, grape varietal and wine region used to be options enough for picking the perfect wine. But as more eco-friendly wines are finding reknown among wine enthusiasts and more green claims are gracing bottle labels, wine drinkers who prefer a greener varietal can now add eco-certifications to their list of preferred characteristics. Like the difference between an Australian Shiraz and a Californian Syrah, eco-certifications for wine have subtle, yet meaningful differences. Before picking out the perfect pairing for your next candle-lit meal, read on to find out which label, USDA certified-organic or Demeter USA certified-biodynamic, indicates the better bottle.
USDA Organic
With 23,430,900 pounds of synthetic pesticides applied to wine grape crops in California alone in 2007, it's no wonder that growing numbers of wine drinkers now prefer a more natural grape juice. And an organic label on the bottle is a good indicator that the grapes are greener. USDA certified organic ingredients come from farms and vineyards that have refrained from using herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers or genetically modified seeds for at least three years. But since USDA organic standards allow the consumer product to come in varying shades of green, it can be difficult for the consumer to know just how natural the wine is. Here's a breakdown of the different claims you'll find on bottle labels:
"100% Organic": The wine is made from 100% certified organic ingredients, processed without synthetic agents and contains no added sulfites; naturally occuring sulfite levels in these wines are between 10 and 20 ppm. The label will bear the USDA organic seal, with the phrase "100% Organic".
"Organic": The wine is made with 95% certified organic ingredients, and contains no added sulfites. Winemakers must prove that certified organic ingredients aren't available for the remaining 5% of ingredients. The label will bear the USDA organic seal.
"Made with Organic Grapes" or "Made with Organic Ingredients": The wine is made with 70% certified organic ingredients, and sulfites can be added up to 100 parts per million. The label cannot bear the USDA organic seal.
The brainchild of early 20th century Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, biodynamic farming is a holistic approach to agriculture that views farms and vineyards as self-sustaining ecosystems, and the soil beneath them as a living organism. In biodynamic farming, the relationship between soil, plants, animals and astrological elements is emphasized. For instance, crops are often planted, pruned and harvested according to lunar cycles. While skeptics may question the effectiveness of farming according to the cosmos, biodynamic farms in the U.S. must pass the three-year transition-to-organic period required by the USDA's National Organic Program and cannot use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Furthermore, they must implement other sustainable farming practices, including energy- and water-saving techniques. Certified biodynamic wines may contain sulfites up to 100 parts per million. The Demeter USA logo on the label guarantees that the wine has been produced biodynamically.
Winner: Dual certification
Go with both labels where you can: wines sharing the USDA certified "100% Organic" and biodynamic certification will have low-sulfites and be cultivated according to the most wide-ranging sustainability standards. Otherwise, choose USDA certified "100% Organic" first to reduce sulfite content to a minimum. But when "100% Organic" wine isn't available, and the bottle only claims "Organic" or "Made with Organic Grapes," go for the biodynamic bottle, which is not only better for the planet, but may be better for the cosmos as well.
What are sulfites?
Sulfites are preservatives, made from diluted mined sulfur, that prevent oxidation and bacterial spoilage. Because sulfites are an ingredient that can occur in wine naturally, and mined sulfites have been used in viticulture for centuries, their inclusion in organic wine is an area of contention. While in the United States certified organic wine cannot contain sulfites, French and Italian organic standards allow them, and many U.S. winemakers argue that they should be allowed in organic wine. An American label indicating that the wine is "Made with Organic Grapes" is often a good indication that it contains added sulfites. Organic arguments aside, sulfites can cause allergic reactions in a small percentage of people. Sulfite allergy sufferers should look for wines bearing the USDA organic logo.

So take a moment to connect to the little things around you with this poem to open our year, written by eighth-grader Maggie M. After all, what defines an adventure is all in the eye of the beholder.
Little Things
The red scarf
Slid slowly down
The brown banister
Past the puffing fan,
The barking dog,
The open refrigerator door.
The ruby scarf
Gazed at the generations
That lived on the walls.
Dipped its frayed edges to the
Coat hanger,
The hats shivering at the wind,
Blasting from the open door.
The scarlet scarf
Jumped up the shoes
That lay scattered
Across the floor.
The scarf rested on the cushioningOf the upholstered
Green bench,
And waited for the next
Maggie M. -- Grade 8

House Envy
Limestone headers above metal paned windows on the west side's middle house added to the constant dismay of the east side middle house. For years, east sneered at west. West laughed at east with its peeling paint and water damaged brick. The laughter infuriated east further and its shouting would ensue until a point of exhaustion came, a defeated state of frustration. East felt hopeless to change its situation because no matter how much noise it made, it remained stuck in place. A house could scream and make a fuss, but it couldn't move.
Years passed and people bought and sold the houses. Neighborhood cats died and others were born and still others were brought along by owners or renters. Dogs came and went too, but the houses paid them no mind. The middle house on the east side couldn't see itself as it underwent renovation inside and got a new coat of paint out front, but it felt the changes as they occurred, and it eyed the reaction of its nemesis across the street. Its nerves were raw in anticipation of something it couldn't affect, something it had no choice but to accept. It knew everything was okay, though, when it saw the west side middle house cringe with jealousy.
When the east side middle house finally looked across the street with confidence, it missed the drama of the screaming it used to do. Cats missed the screaming too – they slept on the window sills in peace instead of meowing with eyes wide. Dogs went on as if nothing had changed.

Interesting piece - how the grass is always greener on the other side! and how the fact that something is different provokes an emotional response. Just like our world eh.ReplyDelete
I love this! It's happening on several streets in my neighbourhood right now. The human inhabitants complain the neglected houses are bringing down prices, then complain again when they are fixed up because they're making the neighbourhood inaccessible.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, and me? I live in a low-rise condo :-)Delete
Interesting look at how homes seem to have feelings too Richard, I can easily see it. The ending feels like there's a lot more to the story. I wonder if there's a follow-up story to come, if the houses ever feel "even" and get along?ReplyDelete
Heheh!! I have a feeling these two houses would turn sideways if it were possible, then they wouldn't have to deal with their animosity. :)ReplyDelete
Houses are weird. They do crazy things when we aren't looking.ReplyDelete

Canadian artist Geneviève Phénix is a self-taught mixed-media painter. She primarily paints in watercolour - because of its fluidity and transparency - but also in acrylic when executing larger canvases. Her technique aims to combine various mediums in order to produce rich textures out of materials such as silk paper, impasto, photography, paint, and charcoal. Her work is instinctive and composed of wavy strokes, three-dimensional shapes, and abstract movements.

The estimated reading time for this post is 7 minutes
I normally keep this stuff to myself and don't share it but I thought I'd break that rule as I work towards a healthier happier mind and lifestyle.
Just over a week ago I decided to try out fasting. A week prior to that I decided to cut down on my drinking. I was drinking a little too much a little too often. Add the new mountain bike I got back in August and the long walk each weekend and I'm sure you can see what I am trying to do. You know the bid D-work. Diet. Diet, cut out the bad stuff and get back into shape! I'm just having a drink when there is an occasion now such as going out for a meal or friends coming over for dinner rather than the beer or wine routine that I had fallen into most evenings. It's too easy to fall into this routine.
I really was not enjoying the person I was seeing in the mirror.
In September 2018 I weighed 14 stone and was fairly active but that was changing for the worst to inactive. A comfortable weight if a little more than it should be for a 6.2ft chap. Come Christmas I was sat at the 16st mark. Then around my accident late January I was 15.5st and then shockingly by June 2019 I was 18.5st. Now I know I was immobilised but that's a big gain and sadly it continued and at my worst some two weeks ago I weighed in at 18.7st. I could also blame hotel life working away, the stress of work and personal changes but I won't. They all still point to me. With the strongest determination and drive, I said to myself this had to change and by change I meant action. In no circumstances was I going to allow my weight to keep increasing and get any nearer to reaching 19 stone.
One meal a day diet (OMAD)
Those of you that know me will know I am a gadget man and I love my food and drink. With that in mind, I decided to find a diet that would work for my lifestyle. After lots of reading and research, I found one meal a day diet also known as OMAD. This seemed pretty easy to manage and something I know I could manage as I've often got by with just the one meal. The one meal a day diet involves just that. It is that simple. Eat one meal a day. So in effect fasting for two meals or 23 hours of the day. And better still you have the freedom to eat what you like (within reason) and it is absent of any need to create meal plans etc although I do plan to track my nutrition. Just because the diet permits you to eat whatever you like doesn't mean you should. You should make sure your one meal is balanced and giving you sufficient nutrition. My plan is to stay on the OMAD diet until I reach my weight goal, to be more aware of my weight and create a structured exercise routine.
I love my tea and coffee and this is still permitted however I have decided to drink more black tea and coffee and more green and peppermint tea to avoid the milk. I've also massively increased my water intake and very conscious of it. The one meal I eat I am keeping under 1250 calories and ensuring is healthy and balanced but also things I enjoy. I have a treat day each Saturday where I am allowing myself to eat more of my allowance and enjoy a drink with friends if I choose to. A key part to the one meal a day diet is strong self-discipline and willpower of which I surprisingly have found I have. Early into the diet I found myself reaching for chocolate and then deciding against it. So that is the food side nailed.
Now for the gadget side. Each morning I record my weight on my Withings body+ scales. This has mostly been rewarding with the scales reporting in the right direction apart from one day where there was a small gain. These scales give you a little graph on the scales to show you your progress and it shares the data with Apple Health over WiFi. It uses bluetooth and a weight profile to know who is on the scales to avoid sharing the wrong weight if someone else uses the scales.
Throughout the day I track my food and drink intake using MyFitnessPal. This allows me to search for food to get their nutritional information and scan for products using their barcodes. MyFitnessPal then calculates my daily allowance and takes into account my fitness and activities. For example, if I go on a long walk, swim or cycle it adds calories I burn from these activities to my daily allowance. Alongside MyFitnessPal I also use WaterMinder to give me a little nudge throughout the day to drink water. I'm a big tea drinker and the app allows me to record other drinks such as tea, coffee, beer and wine. I'm working in the Netherlands at the moment and they really like their tea black. This has led to me drinking more black tea but also more green and peppermint tea. So far I haven't had any problems holding out for my one meal. As I'm not restricting myself on what I eat I am still able to enjoy all the lovely food I was used too. I'm avoiding some foods such as bread and those high in fat and sugar to help my progress.
In terms of exercise, I am trying to walk for an hour each day which I typically do at lunch or in the evening depending on work. At the weekends my daughter and I go on a nice long walk which usually involves a National Trust property or estate. I record these using the Apple Health app or Strava. My exercise plan involves me swimming every other day and cycling every other. When swimming or walking I use my Apple Watch to track my exercise. I also try to close all the health rings throughout the day. When I'm out cycling I use my Wahoo Elemnt with their ANT+ sensors of my bike for cadence, speed and I also have a heart rate monitor. Once I'm back Wahoo shares the data with Apple Health and Strava. I also track my sleep with Withings Sleep Sensor which is placed discreetly under the mattress. It means you can just forget about tracking your sleep when your home without having to rely on wearables and is very accurate. Strava, Apple Health and MyFitnessPal are at the heart of my tracking. I really enjoy the kudos my friends give me on Strava.
I'm just coming up to a full week and I'm sat at 17st 12lb (8lb loss) and feel so much better in myself. I don't feel sluggish. I feel more flexible and committed to my plan. My sleep has improved slightly but my ankle and leg give me so much pain I don't sleep very well as a result. Within two weeks I suspect I will reach my first goal losing a stone and quickly homing in on the sub-seventeen mark. I suspect later in the month I might have a little blip as I have a bucket list trip to New York for my birthday. I'm under decided whether I will keep up my OMAD diet or not but the plan is to try and get my weight down to 13 or 14 stone and keep it there.
Wish me luck!
A diet like this is not for everyone. I've shared some interesting articles on the one meal a day diet that both praise it and caution of it. Please seek professional and medical advice if you plan to diet.

This summer will mark four years since I met Chris. Four years since he first tried to serenade me with his yoga moves on the dance floor, four years since my first ever trip to Ipswich and four years since I bullied him into calling me his girlfriend.
Which officially makes this my longest ever relationship.
So if I'm failing at paying off my credit card and posting a blog post every day, at least I'm not failing at this, eh?
Over those four years I've changed a lot as a person. I've gone from being a chaotic, lost, wild Londoner desperately trying to find reassurance from the world, to a mildly content, chilled out grown-up. Eesh.
So I thought I'd share the things that this relationship has taught me.
1. The big conversations are as important as the little conversations. Yes, it's v v important to have someone who wants to discuss Broachurch theories and the best sides from Domino's with you, but it's also important to be upfront about what's important to you in the long-run.
I didn't leave it too long before I brought up the biggies like kids and marriage with Chris because it was important for me to know we were on the same wave length, that we both wanted the same things for the future and that we had the some outlook on life.
I find those conversations mildly terrifying, but not knowing where you stand is about as fun as sticking pins in your eyes.
2. Work should be separate from your relationship. When I first started blogging it was hard for me to not make every bleedin' conversation about… well, blogging. I was a girl obsessed, mostly because every day brought new opportunities and new stresses and I didn't have colleagues to bounce ideas and thoughts off of. It's quite a lonely industry despite how it might look.
So Chris became the person I threw everything at. The person I roped in for outfit photos and help with filming, and the person who heard about every blog post I wrote and every email that came into my inbox.
And whilst he's an absolute gem for not complaining, I've noticed how much more stress-free our relationship has become since I've hired a photographer and tried to keep work chat down to a strictly 'highlights and lowlights' re-cap when he walks through the door. Because turns out there's way more exciting conversations than how many saves you've had on Bloglovin…
3. Time without phones is vital. We've been doing phone-free date nights for a year or two now, and whilst we're better at it some weeks more than others, I'm glad we both understand how important it is to just switch off and fully focus on the other person rather than half-listening whilst mindlessly scrolling through Twitter.
We not only put our phones away now when we're chilling on the sofa with a box set (YOU DON'T HAVE TO REWIND BECAUSE YOU NEVER MISS ANYTHING – IT'S A JOY!), we've also stopped taking our phones with us if we go out for fancy food and wine. And yes, I know I'm a bit smug and annoying right now.
4. It helps to have a similar upbringing. Your upbringing is often the thing that determines a lot of things in your life. Things like your values and your drive and the way you cope in certain situations.
Chris is the first boyfriend I've had who's had the same kind of life as me, and because of that we just get each other. We handle things the same way. We know what we want for ourselves and what we don't. And it's made things feel, well, a lot easier.
5. Find someone who enjoys the same downtime as you. My idea of a heavenly Friday night is pyjamas, a big glass of posh red wine (or three if I am feeling wild), the sofa, a blanket, maybe some candles, cheese, carbs, and a box set. And thankfully, that's Chris's too.
Sure we have our own things and will see our own friends as well as doing games nights that bring all our fave people together, but I am so, so, so glad Chris doesn't try and suggest we go out drinking and dancing til 3am because it would make my insides pull a really sad face.
Having someone whose idea of 'switching off' is the same as yours makes the world of difference.
6. Everyone has flaws. We all grow up with this same idea of relationships – that they're easy, that they're perfect, that one day you'll grow up and meet someone and everything will be dandy forevermore. But actually, that's a fucking lie.
It's humanly impossible to like every single thing a person does. I know that Chris hates the fact I leave piles of things around the house, that I have no ability to keep my finances in check, that I am a teeny tiny bit reckless. But a big part of a healthy relationship is accepting someone despite their, ahem, quirks. Of seeing past them. Of not letting them become the defining traits about that person.
You're going to bicker, you're going to argue, because sometimes you're tired and sometimes you're hormonal and freaking heck where is the bar of Galaxy you asked for. But so long as you can apologise and move forward, you're good.
7. It's good if things feel easy. Despite the fact we lived 70 miles apart, mine and Chris's relationship felt easy from the get-go. It never felt like I was battling against the world to be with him. It just worked. It was simple.
We both wanted to see each other, and so we did. Obviously you have to compromise and accommodate each others needs, but there's that and then there's attempting to climb a 5,000ft mountain covered in ice whilst wearing a Mr Blobby costume…
8. It's not unconditional love. I actually heard this from a married pal and it's stuck with me ever since. It's easy to get comfortable in a relationship when months have turned into years, and it's easy to believe that that person will love you forever, regardless of how you act or treat them.
But a relationship isn't a form of unconditional love, that person has the ability to leave. They don't have to stick with you if you make them miserable. Which is why it's so, so important to treat your partner with respect. To listen to them, to negotiate with them, to understand them, to be nice to them even at the end of a mind-numblingly long day.
So thanks Christopher Coleman, for putting up with me, for loving me, and for not even looking mildly disgruntled when I leave giant piles of recycling at the back door rather than taking it out to the bin. You da best <3

Broken Oven Mojo Marinated Pork and Black Bean Stew
December 09, 2012
As I mentioned recently, I've been cooking big one-pot meals on the weekend, and I've been eating them all week. Often, there's still some leftover that I can put in the freezer. When the oven broke on Friday, I dipped into the stock of a Mojo-Marinated Pork and Black Bean Stew that I had on hand.
I first made this stew a few weeks ago because I had a big cut a boneless pork shoulder in my freezer that was getting in the way of things. At that time, my oven wasn't working properly, and I wouldn't have been able to cook it properly at a low heat (the oven was only going down to 350 at that point). So I looked for a recipe that I could do on the stovetop.
A while back, a publicist sent me Emeril Lagasse's "Sizzling Skillets and other One-Pot Wonders." In it, I found a recipe for Mojo-Marinated Pork and Black Bean Stew. It sounded delicious, and all I had to do was cut up that pork shoulder. Lagasse says in the head note, "Who can resist the quintessential Cuban flavors of citrus, oregano, and garlic with pork and black beans?" Good question, though I don't know how Nina and Pinta did with it. I was not home the first night it was served, and I did find a lot of it leftover after that night. This was a good thing, I tell you. You want leftovers from a dish like this. They come in handy when the oven breaks.
Brooklyn-based Mojo-Marinated Pork and Black Bean Stew
- 2 oranges, juiced
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 8 large cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed, plus 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano*
- 3-4 lb boneless pork shoulder or Boston butt, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1-2 onions, diced (about a cup and a half)
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 poblano chile, diced
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons red wine
- 5 cups chicken stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups dried black beans, cooked**
Combine the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, smashed garlic, 1.5 teaspoons of the salt, the ground pepper, and the oregano in a small bowl, and set aside for about fifteen minutes to let the flavors come together. Add the pork and toss to coat well. Transfer the mixture into a gallon-sized zip-lock bag and close, squeezing out as much air as possible. Place bag in a shallow baking dish and refrigerate overnight, turning at least once.
Remove the pork and discard the marinade. Pat the pork dry and make sure to remove the chunks of garlic lingering on the pieces of meat.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy Dutch oven, and working in batches, cook the pork until it is browned on all sides. Remove the meat to a bowl and set aside. Discard all but two tablespoons of fat in the pan.
Add the onion and sweat it for about five to ten minutes. Add the bell pepper, poblano, and minced garlic, along with 1 tablespoon of the cumin, 1.5 teaspoons of the dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon of the thyme and continue to cook until the onions are a bit brown.
Add the wine, stir to get any browned bits up off the bottom of the pan, and add the stock, and the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Add the pork and cover. Cook at a simmer for thirty minutes.
Add the remaining cumin, oregano, and thyme and stir to combine. Continue to cook on a low heat, partially covered, until the pork is tender, about 1 to 2 hours. Add the beans and serve over rice.
*I bought fresh oregano, but lost it on way home from the store. Use fresh if you can.
**I don't bother to soak black beans anymore. I just cook them in about three-times their amount in water until they are done, about an hour or two, depending on the age and temperament of the individual beans. For this recipe, I ended up using slightly less than all the beans in the end.
Additional Notes: About those beans. Lagasse says soak overnight and then add to pot about an hour or so before finishing cooking (after the 30 minute boil, when adding the last of the spices), and I suppose that would work well too.
Lagasse's recipe calls for 1 cup of chopped tomato to be added at the end, but because of a miscommunication with Santa Maria, we didn't have any tomatoes in the house. The dish is fine without them, but is probably better in the end. They are to be stirred in at the very end, just before serving. Along with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro.
Obviously, the dish freezes well.

The Liposonix® treatment is now the go-to method for inch loss, where high-intensity ultrasound (HIFU) energy is used to target pockets of fat all over the body that are resistant even to rigorous exercise and diet. The crystallised fat cells are naturally removed by the body over eight to 12 weeks – which is when you'll see results.
For brides-to-be looking to lose that stubborn pinch of fat or bra bulges, and even grooms-to-be that wish to get rid of their tummy or love handles, HIFU energy is able to penetrate through the skin layer and into the targeted fat tissues without harming the skin or surrounding tissues. Besides the permanent destruction of fat cells, it has an added advantage of skin tightening and body contouring. However, some patients might feel soreness in the treated areas for about a week after treatment, but can resume normal activities immediately after.
Consulting doctor Charlene Goh of SL Clinic takes the patient through a thorough consultation and "before" photographs of the treatment areas are taken. She will then mark out and determine where the ultrasound handpiece should go. With the assistance of a nurse to ensure that the applicator adheres firmly and suctions up the treated area, Dr Charlene Goh will then administer the device. Cold water is also sprayed over the treated areas to lower the temperature on the skin surface. The patient will feel a bearable warm, tingling sensation – this is absolute normal as the non-invasive procedure delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy deep into the skin with the aim of destroying fat cells, while firming and smoothing it by strengthening the collagen. The Liposonix® treatment takes around one hour, and some patients may find the process a bit uncomfortable as some areas like the flanks (read: love handles) are more sensitive when large amount of ultrasound are being delivered. This is where it gets a bit intense when the ultrasound hits the hip bone area near the sides of the flanks.
While non-invasive procedure like Liposonix® seems to promise results close to that of liposuction but without any of the risks, actual results from patients vary across the board. Some patients have reported a significant reduction on their waistlines of around one inch (2.5cm), which translates to one dress or pants size.
Liposonix® treatment is available from SL Clinic which is located at Westgate #04-22, 3 Gateway. For more information about prices and other procedures call +65 6358 0388, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or check out www.slclinic.com.sg.

According to a cable in WikiLeaks, former president Tabare Vasquez's brother, Jorge Vasquez, was under suspicion of trafficking Venezuelan weapons to Iran. During a 2007 diplomatic mission, the US received reports that Uruguay was "opening a test route" for arms trafficking. The report also declared that Jorge was stockpiling local weapons caches for the Tupamaros and other Marxist groups in order to prevent the possibility of a coup against the government.

As if the Tupamaros need any more help. They are already in the Parliament, the Presidency, and they have taken over Montevideo and the other major municipalities either on their own or by installing their choice commie thugs.

Not many people know this, but the importance of education in Mexico is a huge problem. The government has a lot of problems when it comes to education because children keep dropping out of school from a very early age. The main reason why it is so hard to stop this phenomenon is because parents do not have enough money to send their kids to school. Another reason why the dropout rates are so high is because the population does not believe that a higher education will improve their lives. In Mexico there are five levels of education: preschool, elementary school, middle school, upper secondary school and university. Even though these levels are present, the governments made school compulsory only till 6th grade. After 7th grade you can choose if you want to move on or not. To encourage students to continue their studies, the government offers grants and scholarships.
According to recent polls, the importance of education in Mexico is high in all Mexican families. It is true that Mexicans believe that school is important in any person's life, however statistics say that in reality things are totally different. There is a lack of students in middle school and upper secondary school. The biggest gap is in the rural area where children are not encouraged to go on with their studies because they have to work so they can help their families. In the last 50 years a lot of good things have happened, the number of children enrolling in preschool and primary school has doubled which is a step in the right direction. Even though there are large numbers of children enrolling, as they grow, they start dropping out. According to studies conducted by the government, over 50% of students drop out of school before they reach the 10th grade. The same studies show that only 8% of students have a bachelor degree.
Because the government is so concerned about the level of education in the country, it has developed three programs: Oportunidades, Programas Escuelas de Calidad and Enciclomedia. Oportunidades is a program which offers grants to poor families who have children ready to go to school. Programas Escuelas de Calidad and Enciclomedia are programs developed to help schools show the importance of education in Mexico.
As you can see the importance of education in Mexico is very high due to the fact that there are so few students enrolled in an educational institute. There is a lot of will coming from parents, but most of the time the lack of money keeps them from offering their children the chance to be in school and make a better life for them. If children would stop dropping out from such an early age their lives would surely change for the better.

Derrick Marks scored 27 points, Anthony Drmic finished with 23 and Boise State led from start to finish Saturday in a 69-65 victory over San Diego State.
Marks scored 22 of his 27 in the second half and the Broncos (21-9, 9-7 Mountain West) held off a comeback attempt by the San Diego State to earn a split of the season series.
The teams will play Wednesday in a conference tournament quarterfinal in Las Vegas.
Marks finished with six assists, nine rebounds and blocked two shots - including a San Diego State layup attempt in the final minute - to help Boise State hang on for the victory. The Aztecs, which trailed by as many as 15 points in the second half, had pulled within 66-63 with 26 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Chase Tapley, who had 17.
Xavier Thames led San Diego State (21-9, 9-7) with 18 points while Jamaal Franklin added 15 points and 13 rebounds. San Diego State made only 3 of 16 shots from 3-point range, including 0 of 7 in the first half when Boise State took a 31-19 lead.
Drmic scored 11 of his 23 points in the first half, when he sank three of his four 3-pointers in the game. Boise State won despite shooting only 40 percent from the field and 26.3 percent from 3-point range.
No other Boise State player scored more than six points, but senior Kenny Buckner pulled down 11 rebounds in the final home game of his career.

Visiting Germany's many amazing parks is great and all, but if you are wondering what exactly you can do when you go to them, the answer is lots and lots. Basically, you can think of most of the parks in Germany, both garden and national kinds as types of grown-up playgrounds. Of course, this isn't to say that there's nothing for children to do in them, since there are certainly plenty of activities available.
Most of the wonderers today are also bloggers. They typically buy a service from godaddy using a promo code to save on domains. This is their way of putting their experiences in a journal blog and let others watch and appreciate all the views that he's been.
Much like what you can expect when you do Amsterdam Bike Rental, visiting Germany's parks can be a lot of fun. This goes for both those who like outdoor activities and those who aren't really all that active.
With the subject being natural or even man-made parks that can stretch several kilometers, it's only natural that hiking would be one of the main activities that visiting them would entail. It's basically the most prevalent options on the table, which you definitely want to take if you want to absorb all of the natural beauty that's available to you.
When you always wonder on wat te doen in Amsterdam in autumn, this is the perfect activity for the season. It's a good exercise and at the same time, you get to appreciate all the nice things that autumn brings, which many has already forgotten.
Next is climbing, which the more active people will absolutely love. With many of Germany's parks featuring stunning landscapes, ascending the sides of steep cliffs can afford you sights you can scarcely get anywhere else. Of course, for those who haven't really been doing a lot of physically active hobbies, there are beginner courses if anyone is interested. Consider buying second climbing tools.
The other, less demanding activity that you can participate in when visiting parks in Germany is cycling. You can get from place to place fast, see amazing sights along the way, and get some fresh air as well as a little exercise along the way. You really can't ask for more than that. Accessories for safety are very essential in this activity. You can save big with kortingscode bestseller shop if you're looking for good quality and inexpensive products.
Riding Ponies
This is an activity that little kids, especially little girls will love. Ponies are always enjoyable to ride, particularly when you are young and your imagination still plays a major role in your life. There are also occasions when riding horses is an option, so some adults can have fun too.
Listening To Music
Finally, there are parks such as Park Planten un Blomen where classical music concerts are played for visitors and they are mind-blowing. For those who enjoy sitting around, enjoying nature, and listening to beautiful music, there's nothing more satisfying. Getting the experience can be affordable, as well, with Special Discounts being available to help visitors save on their trip.

These are the Big Dummies in Science
doing test proven harm to real Nature by Brainwashing the unknowing
Dr. John Abraham
Scott A. Mandia
Michael C.B. Ashley
Jan W. Dash
Courant Institute of NYU
so enlighten me
send me your scientific proof the cause of the
Carbon cycle is: Pollution
along with the Scientific proof Humans cause climate Warming
so I my Review it and Analyze it and Test it
as the only thing ~ real ~ in your so called science is the test proven Fraud
you refuse to Publicly debate
you reject the scientific method for political agenda
as Political Fascist and Frauds in Science dictate science
with zero Public Scientific Question or Rebuttal or Debate
proving scientifically you are not real Scientists
as the scientific community have always known you are political frauds in science
and one day all of history will know you are frauds in science too
because you rejected the scientific method for true belief in political agenda
~ Preaching Selling Convincing ~
the carbon based humans of this carbon based earth
that the cause of all carbon based life on this carbon based earth is: pollution
so you can Profit
is very excellent Brainwashing
there are zero science papers proving the cause of the carbon cycle
causing all of the Green on this carbon based earth
causing all of the O2 oxygen we breathe on this carbon based earth
causing all the carbon based food we eat on this carbon based earth
as you state Publicly CO2 with zero color taste or smell is: pollution
Publicly stating CO2 is Pollution is a very Fraudulent Statement in real science
as you continue to tell us the Oceans are rising when it is very proven they are declining
and that Warming is speeding up when it is very proven to be slowing down
as this is just the tip of the Ice Berg of very proven Fraudulent Statements
by you proven Lairs and Frauds in science
the very proven hypocrite
Al Gore
your climate science God
who is 20% carbon made from CO2
who can articulate ~ zero ~ science
who comprehends ~ zero ~ science
who can debate ~ zero ~ science
who has earned ~ zero ~ right scientific opinion
who's Science references are proven Garbage
continues to make his fortune on his very proven to be very Fraudulent
World Wide Carbon Credit Scheme
as he continues to preach to the world the cause of all the Green
the cause of all of the Oxygen we breathe and all the food we eat
the cause of all carbon based life on this carbon based Earth
is: Toxic Pollution
as Al Gore refers to Photos of water vapor ~ white steam ~ as Toxic Pollution
while the Ice has been melting for the past 18,000 years
and how do you stop 4.6 billion years of very extreme progressive variable climate change
caused by a dozen climate variables ignored by your Climate Religion
as those who failed grade school science dictate science
by rejecting and ignoring the scientific method
for their personal feelings of True Pathological Belief for Profit
while proving Political Lunatics who failed grade school science can and do dictate science
as Climate Religion is using an outdated incomplete debunk Science Paper
as Scientific Proof Humans cause Climate Change
as there is proven Fraud everywhere in Climate Religion
~ ? ~
~ am I a skeptic of very proven Political Media Brainwashing in science ~
I challenge Skeptical Science and their Partners in Crime
who are test proven Political Media Lairs
to an open public debate in real science
with a
for the Scientific Proof beyond make believe in the word
" likely"
Carbon based Humans cause Climate Warming of this Carbon based Earth
with Carbon based Oxygen = CO2 = Carbon dioxide
with zero color taste or smell
the cause of all the Green
the cause of all Carbon based Life on this Carbon based Earth
~ as ~
they are the scientifically very proven Lunatics and Frauds of Bogus science
as they preach the cause of Life
with zero color taste or smell is: Pollution
as this the equivalent to stating clean drinking water is pollution
or clean oxygen is pollution
so how much is Al Gore paying them to Lie to the world
as real money and real profit dictate Bogus Fraudulent science
and this why Bogus Fraudulent so called Scientists do not publicly debate
their Bogus Fraudulent Lunatic so called science
~ the cause of the first atmosphere causing the the carbon cycle is not pollution ~
while knowing Plants and Trees need more CO2 not less CO2 to breathe
to be Healthy and Strong
as this is why we add water vapor and CO2 to commercial Greenhouses
because there is not enough CO2 in the air
as CO2 has gone from most all the atmosphere
causing the carbon cycle to almost nothing
at 160 ppm
the carbon cycle will end
ending the carbon cycle and all carbon based life above Sea level
as there is many times the CO2 level in the Oceans than in the Atmosphere
as most of the CO2 in the atmosphere
comes from hundreds of un-measurable active Volcanoes below sea level
from well over 1,200
intermittent un-measurable Volcanoes and Supper Volcanoes below Sea level
Acidify the Oceans over billions of Years
as Climate Religion preaches to us
Humans are responsible for ~ all ~ acidification of the Oceans
as this is just another proven lie by Climate Religion
as their debunk hypothetical's = un-proven theory's continue to dictate science
as they continue to reject the scientific method
for their personal feelings of true belief in a proven to be Fraudulent Political Agenda
as all life above Sea level is still caused by Evaporated Ocean
Evaporated Water vapor and CO2
causing all of the Green on this Carbon based Earth
for the past 600 million years above seal level
skepticalscience.com will not debate their proven fraud in science
as they continue to preach their proven fraud to the unknowing public
as they answer questions on behalf of scientists of the National Academy of Sciences
proving the NAS can not be trusted in real science
After 41 years of atmospheric emission science and testing
with thousands of hours of on going Climate Science investigation since 2007
with a Doctor Honor in 2011
and then invited to participate in the
London Symposium on Climate Change
at the Oxford and Cambridge in the June of 2013
I have never read so many proven Fraudulent Garbage statements in science
in my life time as on the Political Media Brainwashing web page of
they answer Public Questions
for the Climate Science Rapid Response Team
and for the Responsible Scientists
and for the National Academy of Sciences
? does the NAS support these very test proven lies ?
for Political Media Paranoid Climate Religion
who refuse to debate real science
and as any intelligent person can plainly see
Skepticalscience.com is a Political Church not a Science Body
who can prove nothing with real science
as they are Preachers not Teachers
who are answering Public Questions on behalf of Scientists
of the National Academy of Sciences
as I have many Questions they can not answer
as they claim to have all the answers in Climate Science
as their website is as bogus as a Three Dollar Bill
full of very proven Political Media Hearsay Lies
~ so ~
are they intentional frauds who are very smart
or are they pathological frauds because they are very stupid
True belief in self-debunk hypothetical conjecture = un-proven theory
does not prove
Carbon based Humans cause Climate Warming of this Carbon based Earth
as they continue to sell their very proven lies
as they are the test proven Hoax
~ they are ~
Test Proven
Political Media Brainwashers for Al Gore and his Climate Religion
who can prove nothing beyond their true make believe with real science
as they truly believe in and Preach their self-debunk Ouija Board computer prediction
as they ignore the fact tested reality of real Nature
for the sake of Political Agenda
proving they are not Real Scientists of the scientific method
by choosing self-debunk Political Media True Belief over fact tested reality
while Preaching to the world the cause of all life is Pollution
as their Religion continues to do test proven harm to real nature
costing trillions of dollars for the sake of true belief
as they Preach their true belief as science
as Climate Change is Real for Billions of years
Climate Religion is a test proven Hoax
as the Political Media allows
zero public question zero public rebuttal and zero public debate
proving political media Fascism in science
Political Media ~ Paranoid ~ Climate Religion
Climate Religion is a Political Mind Set
ignoring Fact tested Reality
dictating science
who believe water vapor and CO2 is Pollution
proving they are Idiots in real Science
while proving some of us can be Brainwashed by the Political Media
and some of who know better can not
~ ? ~
~ again ~
how does something the size of a sewing thread
trap heat in something the size of a football field
~ while knowing ~
all heat still rises
and frozen air still take its place
as Skeptical-science can not answer this Question with out proving they are Lairs
along with many other Science Questions they can not answer
with out proving they are Frauds in Science
for their Political Agenda
preaching flawed incomplete debunk Garbage they call science
with out Public Rebuttal Question or Debate
Can you debunk fact tested reality with make believe ?
as the True Believers
continue to pretend and make believe
by just ignoring fact tested realty
as they refuse to debate their self-debunk Ouija Board computer prediction
as they see only one piece of the puzzle while ignoring all the other pieces
in fact they see only ~ one half ~ of one piece of the puzzle
as they see only ~ one half ~ of one dot on a page full of dots
as they do not know more than they know
as they preach their True Faith in their Political Agenda Religion
in test proven Garbage Science
as un-earned opinion dictates science while ignoring real science
and if you can not debate your so called science
~ its not real ~
as the True Believers can not debate their political science fiction
~ as there is zero knowledge in True belief ~
science is: to know
prediction is not knowledge
the purpose of prediction is to sell fear of the unknown
as most predictions never ever come true
especially when the prediction is based on a very flawed incomplete debunk study
by a group of Politicians with a Political Agenda who failed grade school science
who continue to preach to all of the world their words of true belief
as the U.N. continues to state
it is
Carbon based Humans cause Climate Change
of this Carbon based Earth
Carbon based Oxygen = CO2 = Carbon dioxide
the cause of the first atmosphere causing the carbon cycle
causing all the Nature causing all the Green causing all the Oxygen
causing all of the carbon based food
causing all carbon based life on this carbon based Earth
based on their very flawed incomplete debunk study
the bases for their self debunk Ouija Board computer prediction
as real Knowledge continues to be ignored
Political Media ~ Paranoid ~ Climate Religion
for true belief in self-debunk Ouija Board computer prediction
as prediction is Bogus science
the cooling factor of frozen CO2 = Dry Ice crashing towards the earths Poles
has more than off-set the warming factor of hot CO2 rising
as Climate Religion states the cooling factor of CO2 is: Irrelevant
along with a dozen other climate variables they decided are Irrelevant too
in ~ their ~ climate science
as their so called science does not acknowledge any of the known cooling factors
when predicting the unknown climate future with their Ouija Board science
as they continue to preach their self-debunk prediction is happening
when it is not
the members of Political Media Paranoid Climate Religion
just believe what they are told to just believe
with out Question
when there is zero belief in real science
as Real Science is Questioned ~ Tested and Debated
as the majority of true believers I have spoken with over the past 10 years
Failed Grade School Science
and can have ~ Zero ~ conversation in real science
as they can articulate or comprehend ~ Zero ~ real science
as they ~ know ~ nothing beyond their true Brainwsahed belief
further proving it is a pathological political agenda religion and not real science
as the vast majority of Climate Religion do not follow the real science
as the true believers have zero comprehension of the fact there is zero belief in real science
as Political Media Religion dictates science
to the un-knowing Public
with out Question
while allowing zero Public Scientific rebuttal or debate
science is: to know
and in real science ~ Irrelevant ~ knowledge does not exist
as all knowledge is relevant in real science of the scientific method
as real knowledge is ignored for fraudulent Make Believe
with out Question ~ Test ~ Debate
by the scientific method
as Climate Religion refuses to debate fact tested Reality
and True Believers will just continue to just Believe
with out Question
while continuing to preach their True Belief
proving it is a Political Religion and not Science
when you refuse to allow your science to be publicly Questioned and Debated
its not real Science
and if you choose to Truly Believe
the cause of all Carbon based life on this Carbon based Earth is: Toxic Pollution
then theirs nothing I can Do
as I watch you do your test proven harm to Nature
for the sake of your personal feelings of true belief
as you tell me fact tested knowledge is Irrelevant
as un-Questioned very proven Political Media Fraud in science continues to dictate science
as real science is skepticism
and history will prove what is real and what is not
by the ignored unanswered and undebated Questions that never go away in real science
of the scientific method
as there has always been Fraud in science and there will always be
and when I am proven wrong I admit it and grow froward with science
and when Frauds are proven wrong they continue to tell their proven lies
and then the majority of you who have not Looked at and then Questioned the science
continue to just believe what you are told to just believe
as you are the True Believers of un-real science
as Political Agenda continues to dictate Bogus Science
doing real harm to real Nature
and as George Harrison would still agree

David Booth experienced extremely vivid and terrifying dreams shortly before a deadly airline disaster. Were his prophetic dreams linked to the crash flight 191?
The Crash
On May 25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 took off from Chicago's O'Hare Airport on a routine passenger flight. It had only been in the air a matter of minutes before disaster struck.
Somehow one of the plane's engines managed to come away from the wing resulting in severe damage to the hydraulic and wiring systems.
The pilot was left with no control whatsoever and the plane plummeted into a local trailer park. 272 people died that day.
David Booth
It didn't take long for the local media to turn up and the dreadful aftermath was televised across America.
David Booth sat speechless in front of his TV screen – he knew this event was coming but he had not known when it would occur.
In the weeks leading up to the disaster, Booth had been in constant contact with the American Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration. He had been plagued by terrifying dreams involving an American Airlines plane.
When he contacted both parties he expected to be laughed off but they took him rather seriously. The problem was that Booth's prophecies had no exact date or details surrounding the particular plane. Without further information their hands were tied.
The Aftermath
An investigation into the tragedy came about shortly after the event and David Booth was questioned several times. He wasn't really a suspect but authorities were fascinated with his prophetic dreams – did he really see all this before it happened?
The investigation finally concluded that the tragedy was down to damage to the engine cowling. The cowling is the system that secures the engine to the plane's wing.
It turned out that American Airlines had cut a few corners as they aimed to save maintenance time. This short term fix resulted in 272 deaths and was not approved by the planes manufacturer.
The Bionic Woman
Months later it was revealed that a much more famous individual also had prophetic visions about the disaster that day in May.
Actress Lindsey Wagner was a household name through her portrayal of The Bionic Woman on TV. She was due to board crash flight 191 that day but something held her back.
As she sat in the airport waiting she started to feel very sick. Something was wrong and she could not figure out what. The closer it came to boarding time the more nauseous she became.
In the end she abandoned her plans to fly that day and left the airport. As soon as she got out of the airport's vicinity she started to feel well again.
If you have any thoughts or opinions on the crash flight 191 please leave them in the comment section below.

Ryan Bucko credits his lifelong passion for architecture and his years as a design professional for fueling his growth as an artist. He breaks new ground by contrasting semblances of iconic architecture from the 20th century against the dynamic textures of abstract expressionism. Linework, constructed of wire and thread, control the various line weights which hover over the painting's surface. This interplay juxtaposes the technical precision of architecture and the world of the abstract. Bucko's obsessive pursuit to reduce geometry down to its purest form creates a third dimension that changes upon viewing perspective and lighting conditions. His work continues to evolve along the dual themes of architectural precision contrasted with the unbridled energy of abstract art as shown in his latest series "Geometry and Architecture."
"My work focuses on connecting with architecture and the pursuit of purity within form and composition. Nothing extraneous will do."

The birth rate is declining in Denmark, and you know that what means. More people need to get "in the mood."
So an enterprising travel agency set out to find a way make making whoopie feel like something a Dane should do for his or her country. And if there's anything about the video that's not un-subtle enough, you have the tagline: "Do it for Denmark."
Tourist commissions everywhere should take note. So sayeth the StickMonkey.

This oil will enhance fertility in women. Use it as body oil, making sure to cover the breasts, hips, and thighs well.
You will need:
- 3 English pepper (allspice) seeds
- 1 vanilla pod, opened and cut into 5 pieces
- 5 dried blackberry leaves
- 1 eucalyptus leaf
- a teaspoon of fenugreek
- a handful of dried orange peels
- a handful of cinnamon chips
- the dried seeds of 5 okra/bamia
- a teaspoon of unrefined sesame oil
- 1 square of edible gold leaf
- 1 teaspoon honey, silan, maple, or golden syrup
- 1/2 liter sunflower seed oil
Give observance to the Orishas faithfully, but the week you want to make the oil, do a bit extra, and give Eshu, Oshun, and Olokun and/or Yemaya some extra. Mix the oil on a Saturday while you have some Eshu and Oshun incense burning, and chant on it. Then dance with the bottle open for awhile before closing.
Mark the date on it, and leave it to sit in a cool, dark place for 3 months.
If you are making this for a child of Oya, or if you've had problematic pregnancies in the past, add to the recipe about a tablespoon of clarified lamb fat. She should also eat lamb.
Some children of Ogun may benefit from the addition of some snake oil, but then they must not flirt with anyone who is not the father of the child, even if they conceived through sperm donation. The non father may feel driven to harm or even kill her.
If the woman is of Mediterranean or Jewish ancestry, add a heaping teaspoon of dried basil. It is good for them, and also smells very attractive on their skin.
Other good additions are snail shells, pearls, amber, agates with womb or yoni patterns…go with what feels right to your inner mommy.

Baxter's boys stun Super Eagles in Uyo
South Africa ended their 25-year winless streak against Nigeria in spectacular fashion, winning 2-0 in a 2019 African Nations Cup qualifier in Uyo on the back of second-half goals from Tokelo Rantie and Percy Tau.
Stuart Baxter also extended his record of winning against Nigeria, following a 2-1 win in the 2004 Nelson Mandela Challenge, while Gernot Rohr earned the dubious record of becoming the first Nigeria coach to lose a competitive game to South Africa.
#SAvsNigAFCON 0-2: Match stats pic.twitter.com/Ss9G7AUhKs
— Bafana Bafana (@BafanaBafana) June 10, 2017
The build-up to the game focused mostly around South Africa's inability to find a win against the Super Eagles, and their subdued approach at the start reflected that mentality.
As expected, it was Nigeria who set the tone in the first half, pinning South Africa to their half for the majority of the early moments of the period.
Moses Simon, out on the right, was making a habit of running at Bafana Bafana captain Thulani Hlatshwayo and getting plenty of change out of him.
But the South Africans held their lines well and survived a few moments of threats, even though goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune was untested. Nigerians bayed for penalty kicks on a few occasions, but Tunisian referee Youssef Essrayri was having none of it, and rightfully so.
The best chance of the first half fell to the visitors. Goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi spilled Tebogo Langerman's routine cross, and had to watch in despair and then relief, as the rebound was poked against the upright by midfielder Themba Zwane.
He was not so lucky in the second half. Tokelo Rantie, who scored twice the last time the two teams met at the same stadium, rose unmarked at the near post in the 54th minute to guide home a header from Ramahlwe Mphahlele's right-wing cross to silence the crowd.
South Africa could have gone another goal up in the 72nd minute but Zwane was again desperately unlucky to watch his shot canon back off the other upright after a swift and intricate counter-attack by Bafana Bafana.
Nigeria poured forward in search of the game-tying goal and found themselves exposed 10 minutes from time following an attacking corner that was cleared.
Keagan Dolly picked the ball up and sent substitute Percy Tau clean through on goal, beating the offside trap as Nigeria were caught stranded on the opposite corner. The striker evaded Akpeyi's attempt to pull him back and Ogenyi Onazi's desperate slide to slot home.
As Nigeria's energy levels flagged, South Africa grew in confidence, and could have added a couple more goals but for some wayward finishing.

Retrospective Exhibition of Ruth Baumgarte's Africa Cycle "Turn of the Fire" at Ludwig Museum at the State Russian Museum, Marble Palace, St. Petersburg
On the occasion of this year's 95th birthday of German female painter Ruth Baumgarte (1923 - 2013) the Ludwig Museum at the State Russian Museum, Marble Palace, St. Petersburg will present the artist's africa-cycle "Turn of the Fire" in the premises of Marble Palace from September 5 until October 22, 2018.
The artist started exploring the African contintent already in the 1950s. At this time the continent still was unknown and seemed exotic from an european point of view. Since the early 1980s, Baumgarte became a regular visitor; and travelled within twenty years over fourty times to several south- and east-african states, especially to the Apartheid-embossed South Africa.
Through these journeys, even before a general art-historical discourse began, the artist started to address socio-political upheavels and processes in her expressive, in part seemingly apocalyptic works.
Already at the last turn of the year, the Ludwig Museum Koblenz presented the exhibition "Ruth Baumgarte. Turn of the Fire" with around 50 works of the artist. The show at St. Petersburg will present nearly the whole cycle at the main floor of the representative Marble Palace.
The exhibition will be documented in a hardcover publication in English and Russian language.

Mona Hatoum receives Ruth Baumgarte Art Award
The internationally renowned artist Mona Hatoum recieved the 4th Ruth Baumgarte Art Award on Saturday, 23 June at the Berlinische Galerie (Museum of Modern Art, Photography and Architecture).
Mona Hatoum was born in 1952 in Lebanon as the daughter of a Palestinian family. With her installations and sculptures, performances and video works the artist has developed a special poetic-minimalistic language which is primarily characterised by the simultaneous generation of contrary emotions such as attraction and revulsion, fear and fascination. She places personal experiences in a global context, whereby her work obtains a political character.
Among other awards, the artist has been distinguished with the Roswitha Haftmann Prize (2004), the Käthe Kollwitz Prize (2010) and the Joan Miró Prize (2011). In addition to numerous exhibitions in international museums, she increasingly gained international attention through participation in the Venice Biennale (1995 and 2005) or the documenta in Kassel (2002 and 2017).
