Bruce and Kris Jenner Separate: Wedding Ring Off and Divorce Negotiations Ongoing (PHOTO)

Bruce and Kris Jenner Separated: Wedding Ring Off and Divorce Negotiations Ongoing (PHOTO)

Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner are reportedly already separated, even though the rumors of a possible rift only started a couple of months ago.

According to a new report from In Touch, the rift between Kris and Bruce has already ‘increased’, with a source adding, “They’ve had problems for a long time and have been separated for months.They don’t do anything together unless it’s filmed.They haven’t slept together in years and pretty much just have a business relationship at this point.”

Kris usually wears a massive wedding ring from Bruce, but it’s supposedly been missing from her hand for the past couple of weeks. The source adds that Kris was making sure that she wore gloves during Kylie Jenner’s birthday party, but the paparazzi managed to spot her before that without her wedding ring. The source explains, “There were also promo photos for her talk show [Kris] that she wouldn’t approve because she realized she wasn’t wearing her ring in them. She made sure they never saw the light of day.”

Jokes aside, what’s actually changed in Bruce and Kris’s relationship over the past year? This report states that they haven’t ‘slept together in years’, but Bruce and Kris would never break up for emotional reasons. The source claims that they only have a ‘business relationship’ at this point, but I think that’s enough for Kris and Bruce to stay together. If they’ve weathered cheating and divorce allegations for so long, why would they break up now? It would do their brand no good, and people don’t necessarily give Bruce enough credit for this – he, too, cares about the Kardashian brand, sometimes just as much as the rest of the family.

What do you guys think of this report that states that Bruce and Kris are already separated? Do you think it’s true? Let us know in the comments.

Robert Pattinson Officially Looking For Girlfriend – Kristen Stewart Jealous and Heartbroken

Robert Pattinson Officially Looking For Girlfriend - Kristen Stewart Jealous and Heartbroken

Thousands of Twi-hards all over the country are gearing up in their efforts to become Robert Pattinson‘s next girlfriend. Why? Because according to reports, Rob has been actively looking for a girlfriend recently.

According to Page Six, Rob spent the entire July 4th weekend hitting up boozy industry parties renowned for being hookup central. He reportedly attended parties thrown by nightlife connoisseurs Ronnie Madra and Richie Akiva. And at these parties, he was seen chatting up several ‘model-types‘ over drinks. Dun dun dun.

Now, I don’t know why these reports all assume that he’s looking for a girlfriend, because do Hollywood stars really turn to models for hookups or relationships? My opinion of Rob is pretty neutral at this point, but even I don’t think that the guy would go from Kristen Stewart to some brainless model. He obviously values attractiveness, if not acting ability. But after dating Kristen Stewart for four years, is he really going to turn to some sleazy Hollywood party to find his next relationship?

Then again, he’s been linked to a bunch of model types recently, including Imogen Kerr and Dylan Penn. They’re probably more substantial than your typical model, but maybe Rob’s hoping to find a gem among the crowd. Obviously, I don’t want to stereotype and say that all models are dumb, but having been to these parties, I can tell you that the people are not there for scintillating conversation. I don’t think Rob is an exception to that rule, so we can pretty much guarantee that he’s over Kristen Stewart at this point.

Or you know, he’s still trying to get over her by hooking up with models every chance he gets. You can go with either explanation, depending on whether you’re a Robsten fan or not. Plus, so many outlets have reported on this that I find it hard to believe that Rob’s team wasn’t involved in this somehow. Maybe Rob wanted this known so that Kristen would get jealous? Or maybe he just wants people to know that he’s not in a relationship with anyone, much less his ex-girlfriend.

What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Al Unser

Life Path Number 2

"If we get in an accident that's strong enough to break bones, it's going to break bones. What makes me a little bit higher risk is that if I break my right ankle again, I've got a bunch of screws and plates in there, and that would not be good."

Al Unser is a Race Car Driver.

He was born on Monday May 29th 1939, in Albuquerque, NM, USA,.

The key word in Al's nature is peacemaker. Al Unser has the soul of an artist. He is extremely sensitive, perceptive, and a bit shy. These qualities are both his strengths and weaknesses, for while Unser possesses enormous sensitivity to his feelings and those of others, that same sensitivity can cause him to hold back and repress his considerable talents. Sensitivity and perceptiveness are among his many fine qualities.

Because Al Unser intuitively knows what people want, or feel, he can be extremely diplomatic and tactful. He is also patient and cooperative. Al works well with groups and somehow finds a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions.

Unser enjoys music and poetry and requires a harmonious environment. He has an eye for beauty and a fine sense of balance and rhythm. Al has also healing capabilities, especially in such fields as massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and counseling.

However, Unser's sensitivity can also be his downfall. His extremely delicate ego bruises easily and can make too much of someone else's thoughtless remarks or criticisms. Because Al Unser gets hurt easily, he may tend to withhold his own thoughts and contributions to the matter at hand. This can cause Al considerable resentment and anger, but too often - Al Unser runs from confrontation to avoid a battle.

When he employs his considerable inner strength, Unser will discover his enormous power and abilities to direct difficult situations toward his own goals. It is the awareness of his inner strength that will give Al Unser the courage to use his own personal power when it is needed. Al is a sensitive and passionate lover; his perceptiveness makes him aware of his partner's needs and desires, which Al is able to fulfill with almost magical delicacy.

However, when Al Unser feels he has been mistreated or jilted, he can react with devastating power, sometimes using personal criticisms vindictively. His awareness, diplomatic skills, and organizational talents give him the ability to bring off difficult tasks. Unser willingly steps out of the limelight to facilitate the success of his endeavor. In truth, Al Unser is often the power behind the throne.

However, Al does not always receive the credit he deserves for the fine work he has done, or his role is underestimated and his accomplishments overlooked. Rather than brood over his losses, Unser needs to confront those who would make less of his contributions and stand up for his accomplishments.

Al Unser needs security and comfort, quiet settings, and the company of loved ones. He is a perfectionist when it comes to his home and work environment. He has excellent taste which is obvious in his private surroundings. Al is a fine companion and possesses a good sense of humor. Friends seek Unser out for his calming and peaceful company. Al is a safe haven to other sensitive people, who recognize his compassion and understanding. When Al Unser has found his niche in life, he has all the talents and intelligence for great success. Al must seek out work that allows his sensitive nature to flourish so he can be the glue that binds others together.

Thomas Estavan

Yearly Forecast for 2016

Thomas Estavan is a male celebrity.

He was born on Monday December 31st 1934, in Laredo, TX, USA,.

During 2016, Thomas Estavan will experience a strong tendency to spend more time alone, to delve inside and find some answers and to reach a better understanding of himself. This is not a year for social activities nor is it a year to try and reach goals on a material level.

Thomas will find that the necessities of daily life seem to be taken care of by themselves. There is no need to be overly concerned regarding his material needs. Without slacking on his daily duties and responsibilities, Estavan can afford to give more attention to himself.

2016 is a year for inner growth. It is Thomas Estavan's spiritual and mental presence that requires attention. Thomas should improve the quality of his life, read, contemplate and gain insight in himself. Estavan is important now. He needs to rest and attend to his health. It is during 2016 that he strengthen the foundation of his life, after all his success in all matters rests upon the strength of his inner self.

There will be many strange and unusual events inspiring Thomas to take a closer look at life and an opportunity is there to experience the joy and beauty of life without any artificial or exterior involvement but purely the growing awareness of himself.

Too much concern and desire for material rewards will turn this period of Estavan's life into a very bad experience indeed, while a 'let go and let god' attitude will make 2016 such a fruitful and pleasant year that Thomas Estavan may find himself wondering what he did to deserve this.

Let's take a look now at Thomas' monthly forecast for October 2016.

Victoria Sackville-West

Life Path Number 5

Victoria Sackville-West is a female celebrity.

She was born on Wednesday March 9th 1892, in Knole, England,.

The key to Victoria's personality is freedom. Victoria loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. She possesses the curiosity of a cat and longs to experience all of life.

Victoria Sackville-West loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as she is not tied down to any one area. West likes change, new things and new horizons. She makes friends easily; her personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life. Victoria has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. She can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.

Victoria Sackville-West likely lacks discipline and order. She can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things she regrets later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.

Victoria is sensual and loves to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of her life. She finds it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed, Victoria Sackville-West can be as faithful as an old dog.

She is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to West's success. Without these, many of the tasks Victoria begins will remain unfinished and she will fail to realize the true fruits of her abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Victoria Sackville-West may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by her family. However, she must not be obliged to hurry her choice of career. She is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before she can truly know and commit to her heart's desire. Victoria's challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in her world, requiring adaptability and courage.

Victoria Sackville-West should try to maintain an exercise program, keep her body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of West's body will promote security and confidence within her. Victoria yearns for freedom, and self-employment attracts her powerfully. Her challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate her ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Victoria Sackville-West finds her niche, the motivation and inspiration she supplies others with will bring her much in return, and West will find her friends and colleagues supporting and promoting her on the road to success.

Vladimír Mečiar is a Prime Minister.

He was born on Sunday July 26th 1942, in Unknown.

In later years Vladimír Mečiar will be surrounded by loyal friends and have ample time to explore his creative talents.

As Mečiar matures, he will find himself becoming increasingly extroverted and optimistic about his future. His self-expression and creativity improve markedly. Vladimír Mečiar may become inspired to take up some type of artistic endeavor, such as writing, acting, or music, if he is not already involved in one of these areas.

His ability to communicate will substantially improve. Vladimír is naturally more fluent and may find himself dressing with a certain flair. He must be careful though not to fall victim to superficial appearances, or chasing after glamour and extravagance.

With a 3 Maturity Number Vladimír can look forward to a pleasant and social latter part of life. His attitude will be increasingly positive and his popularity will rise.

If Vladimír Mečiar already has several 3s in his chart, especially in his core numbers, he may have a tendency to scatter his energies and take his responsibilities less seriously, but if he has few 3s, Mečiar will experience a great relief from the tension and seriousness of life, and will be more relaxed and capable of enjoying life.

With the promise of enjoyment, close friendships, and much happiness, Maturity Number 3 is a blessing in the latter part of Vladimír Mečiar's life.

COMIC-CON GALLERY: Shark Night 3D – Waterborne Torture Porn?

Posted by & filed under SFW, The Daily Dose (Entertainment News), Uncategorized.

A weekend at a lakehouse goes awry when freshwater sharks attack the vacationers. Expect no honors from the Academy come Oscar time, but Relativity is hoping the pack of young beautiful things – including Sara Paxton, Katharine McPhee and other TV lookers – caught bathing in nothing but swimwear and blood, will entice audiences to the water torture in 3D.

Look out for Chris Zylka, one of the cast lucky enough to also find himself in “Piranha 3DD” and “The Amazing Spider-Man,” certainly an interesting combination.

The Celtics are the most storied franchise in NBA history. The 17 banners hanging from the rafters attest to this. No other NBA franchise can match the rich history of the Celtics organization.   1981-1986 were very good years for the Celtics and for Celtics fans. In 1981, Larry Bird's second season, the Celtics won the championship. And with Kevin McHale and Robert Parish joining him, the Celtics dominated as they won again in 1984 and 1986.

On June 8, 1986, the Celtics beat the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. This 1986 team is considered by many to be one of the greatest teams ever assembled.  The Big Three were at their peak and things were looking good for the Celtics to continue their domination as they owned the 2nd pick in the draft that season thanks to the trade of Gerald Henderson to Seattle. I remember being so excited about that draft. The Celtics had never had a pick that high as long as I was following them. A little more than a week after the Celtics won their 16th championship, they selected Maryland star Len Bias with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft.

I remember being so excited. Len Bias was an exciting player and the talk was that he could be even better than Michael Jordan. The sky was the limit. The Big 3 were getting older and Bias would come in and be able to contribute right away and then would be the anchor of the next championship. It was an exciting time to be a Celtics fan. They were champions once again and they had just drafted one of the most exciting young players ever to come out of college.

On the morning of June 19, less than 48 hours after he was introduced by NBA commissioner David Stern as the Celtics pick, Bias was dead of heart failure brought on by cocaine use. He was just 22 years old. At first it was only known that he died of a heart attack. But later as the investigation proceeded, there were reports of the cocaine use and that made his death seem almost surreal. Len Bias was religious and by all reports, a hard worker. Red Auerbach had vouched for his character as above reproach. No one thought he would have anything to do with drugs.

But the reality was that he celebrated his selection by the Celtics by using cocaine and it killed him.   The basketball world would never get to see what he could do at the next level. He would be remembered only by what he had accomplished at Maryland, where he transformed himself from an athletic freshman who could do little more than dunk into one of the most explosive offensive players in Atlantic Coast Conference history.

Bias had spent hours working on that picture-perfect jumper and building that power-forward physique. By the time he was finished playing for Lefty Driesell at Maryland, Bias had become the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,149 points, a record that stood until 2002 when it was broken by Juan Dixon.  Though we will never know what kind of player Len Bias might have been if he had he lived and played out a full career in the NBA, those who played against him in college and those who would have played a part in his life as a Celtic feel that he would have developed into one of the most dynamic NBA stars of his era, maybe in league history.

The Big Three were aging and the Celtics looked at Bias as the link to the future of the 30-year Celtics dynasty that began with Bill Russell in 1956 and continued to the glory days of the 80's culminating with the 16th championship in 1986. It was even felt that Bias could have been the rival that Michael Jordan never really found during his career. Bias was a better outside shooter than Jordan. He didn't handle the ball as well, but he was bigger and tougher and every bit as athletic, perhaps even more so.

As a rookie in Boston, Bias would have assumed the role of the team's sixth man, a much vaunted tradition in Boston. He would have provided young legs and instant offense off the bench to back up a starting lineup that featured Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish in the front court and Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge in the back court. It is widely believed that had Bias lived he would have been able to prolong the careers of the Celtics Hall of Fame starting five and because he was so talented, he would have worked his way into the starting lineup before long, continuing the dominating play that people had come to expect from the Celtics.

As a Celtics fan, I have never gotten over this tragedy. I remember the elation I felt when I saw the Celtics make that pick. And I remember all too well the heartbreak of hearing the news that Bias had died.  It's been 25 years since Len Bias died and not much is said these days about him because a new generation of Celtics fans don't remember the excitement of that draft and the shock of hearing the news of his death.   But,  every year as the draft nears, thoughts of Len Bias and the senseless tragedy that took his life always come back to haunt me. I have to admit that even now, whenever it gets close to the draft, or when I see videos of him in college, I get tears in my eyes, thinking of what might have been.

I recently read the book "Never Too Young to Die" by Lewis Cole that tells Len Bias' story, with an emphasis on the events surrounding his death.  The book also takes a look at the epidemic of cocaine use at the time. The book is divided into three sections: a detailed account of the events leading to Bias's death, a description of the police investigation that followed, and the story of the trial of Brian Tribble, Bias's best friend who was accused of supplying the cocaine that took his life. I recommend this book to anyone who is still haunted by this tragedy as well as to those Celtics fans who are too young to remember.

I remember... and it still hurts even 25 years later.

    Eloquently written FL; just an awesome article. There's a reason his jersey is my picture on here. It still hurts like hell. Had Bias and Reggie lived, there's no doubt in my mind the 1991 Celtics would be NBA Champs. Probably a few other teams as well (1987 and 1988 come to mind).

    So tragic, it changed everything in the NBA, and prevented the Celtics from still having a commanding lead in all time NBA championships.

  2. Rondo>me says:

    i wonder who was chosen first in that draft.

  3. Thank you TB... Every year at draft time, Bias' death comes back to haunt me.

    Rondo>me - Brad Daugherty was picked first by the Cavs.

  4. tb727 says:

ECB maintains rates, lower euro FX helps ease risks

    The European Central Bank (ECB) maintained its key interest rates, including the benchmark refinancing rate at 0.05 percent and a negative deposit rate of minus 0.20 percent, and said data to March continued to point toward further positive economic momentum since the end of last year.
    The ECB, which embarked on full-blown quantitative easing on March 9 by starting its monthly purchases of 60 billion euros, added that the risks surrounding the economic outlook remain on the downside but had become more balanced due to its monetary policy, "the fall in oil prices and the lower euro exchange rate."
    ECB President Mario Draghi's characterization of the risks facing the troubled euro area as more balanced is a slightly more upbeat view than in March when he said the risks had diminished following the recent easing by the ECB and the fall in oil prices.
    Last month Draghi said exports from the euro area "should benefit from improvements in price competitiveness and from the global recovery," but today he was much more direct when speaking about the depreciation of the euro, saying "demand for euro area exports should benefit from improvements in price competitiveness."
    The euro has been depreciating against the rising U.S. dollar since May 2014 and hit lows just below 1.05 in mid-March from around 1.40 before rebounding slightly on growing optimism over the prospects that euro area exports, and thus growth, would benefit from the low euro.
    Today it was quoted at 1.066 to the dollar, down 11 percent this year.
    The euro area's Gross Domestic Product expanded by 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 from the third quarter for a 0.9 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2014, up from a 0.8 percent expansion in the third quarter of 2014. Unemployment was unchanged at 11.4 percent in February and January, a marginal improvement from 11.5 percent in the previous six months straight.
    Consumer price inflation in March was minus 0.1 percent, an improvement from minus 0.3 percent in February and minus 0.6 percent in January.

    The European Central Bank issued the following introductory statement to its press conference by its president, Mario Draghi"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice-President and I are very pleased to welcome you to our press conference.
Based on our regular economic and monetary analyses, and in line with our forward guidance, we decided to keep the key ECB interest rates unchanged.
As regards non-standard monetary policy measures, on 9 March we started purchasing euro-denominated public sector securities as part of our expanded asset purchase programme, which also comprises purchases of asset-backed securities and covered bonds. Purchases are intended to run until the end of September 2016 and, in any case, until we see a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation that is consistent with our aim of achieving inflation rates below, but close to, 2% over the medium term. When carrying out its assessment, the Governing Council will follow its monetary policy strategy and concentrate on trends in inflation, looking through unexpected outcomes in measured inflation in either direction if judged to be transient and to have no implication for the medium-term outlook for price stability.
The implementation of our asset purchase programmes is proceeding smoothly, with volumes in line with the announced figure of €60 billion of securities per month. In addition, there is clear evidence that the monetary policy measures we have put in place are effective. Financial market conditions and the cost of external finance for the private sector have eased considerably over the past months and borrowing conditions for firms and households have improved notably, with a pick-up in the demand for credit.
Looking ahead, our focus will be on the full implementation of our monetary policy measures. Through these measures, we will contribute to a further improvement in the economic outlook, a reduction in economic slack and a recovery in money and credit growth. Together, such developments will lead to a sustained return of inflation towards a level below, but close to, 2% over the medium term and will underpin the firm anchoring of medium to long-term inflation expectations.
Let me now explain our assessment in greater detail, starting with the economic analysis. Real GDP in the euro area rose by 0.3%, quarter on quarter, in the last quarter of 2014. Domestic demand, especially private consumption, continued to be the main driver behind the ongoing recovery. The latest economic indicators, including survey data up to March, suggest that the euro area economy has gained further momentum since the end of 2014. Looking ahead, we expect the economic recovery to broaden and strengthen gradually. Domestic demand should be further supported by ongoing improvements in financial conditions, as well as by the progress made with fiscal consolidation and structural reforms. Moreover, the lower level of the price of oil should continue to support households’ real disposable income and corporate profitability and, therefore, private consumption and investment. Furthermore, demand for euro area exports should benefit from improvements in price competitiveness. However, the euro area recovery is likely to continue to be dampened by the necessary balance sheet adjustments in a number of sectors and the sluggish pace of implementation of structural reforms.
While remaining on the downside, the risks surrounding the economic outlook for the euro area have become more balanced on account of the recent monetary policy decisions, the fall in oil prices and the lower euro exchange rate.
According to Eurostat’s flash estimate, euro area annual HICP inflation was -0.1% in March 2015, up from -0.3% in February and -0.6% in January. This pattern largely reflects an increase in oil prices in euro terms since mid-January. On the basis of the information available and current oil futures prices, annual HICP inflation is expected to remain very low or still negative in the months ahead. Supported by the favourable impact of our monetary policy measures on aggregate demand, the impact of the lower euro exchange rate and the assumption of base effects and somewhat higher oil prices in the years ahead, inflation rates are expected to increase later in 2015 and to pick up further during 2016 and 2017.
The Governing Council will continue to monitor closely the risks to the outlook for price developments over the medium term. In this context, we will focus in particular on the pass-through of our monetary policy measures, as well as on geopolitical, exchange rate and energy price developments.
Turning to the monetary analysis, recent data confirm the gradual increase in underlying growth in broad money (M3). The annual growth rate of M3 increased to 4.0% in February 2015, up from 3.7% in January. Annual growth in M3 continues to be supported by its most liquid components, with the narrow monetary aggregate M1 growing at an annual rate of 9.1% in February.
Loan dynamics also gradually improved further. The annual rate of change of loans to non-financial corporations (adjusted for loan sales and securitisation) was -0.4% in February, after -0.9% in January, continuing its gradual recovery from a trough of -3.2% in February 2014. In this respect, the April 2015 bank lending survey confirms that improvements in lending conditions support a further recovery in loan growth, in particular for firms. Despite these improvements, the dynamics of loans to non-financial corporations remain subdued and continue to reflect the lagged relationship with the business cycle, credit risk, credit supply factors and the ongoing adjustment of financial and non-financial sector balance sheets. The annual growth rate of loans to households (adjusted for loan sales and securitisation) increased further to 1.0% in February 2015, after 0.9% in January. The monetary policy measures we have put in place should support further improvements both in borrowing costs for firms and households and in credit flows across the euro area.
To sum up, a cross-check of the outcome of the economic analysis with the signals coming from the monetary analysis confirms the need to implement firmly the Governing Council’s recent decisions. The full implementation of all our monetary policy measures will provide the necessary support to the euro area recovery and bring inflation rates towards levels below, but close to, 2% in the medium term.
Monetary policy is focused on maintaining price stability over the medium term and its accommodative stance contributes to supporting economic activity. However, in order to reap the full benefits from our monetary policy measures, other policy areas must contribute decisively. Given continued high structural unemployment and low potential output growth in the euro area, the ongoing cyclical recovery should be supported by effective supply-side measures. In particular, in order to increase investment, boost job creation and raise productivity, both the implementation of product and labour market reforms and actions to improve the business environment for firms need to gain momentum in several countries. A swift and effective implementation of these reforms will not only lead to higher sustainable growth in the euro area but will also raise expectations of permanently higher incomes and encourage both households to expand consumption and firms to increase investment today, thus reinforcing the current economic recovery. Fiscal policies should support the economic recovery while remaining in compliance with the Stability and Growth Pact. Full and consistent implementation of the Pact is key for confidence in our fiscal framework. In view of the necessity to step up structural reform efforts in a number of countries, it is also important that the macroeconomic imbalance procedure is implemented effectively in order to address the excessive imbalances as identified in individual Member States.

I have the same problem! If I create a plane section for example, after the simulation has run, it's not possible to evaluate mean velocity or other parameters on it! You have to create reports or derived parts before launching simulation I think!

Pearl Thusi gets backlash over Trevor Noah comment

2015-10-01 10:12
Pearl Thusi is in trouble with Trevor Noah fans. (AP Photos, Gallo Images)

Johannesburg - Pearl Thusi is in a lot of people's bad books after making a comment about Trevor Noah as he took the helm as the host of The Daily Show.

The radio presenter posted a publicity picture of Trevor on her Instagram page with the caption: "Ladies and gents... a guy I don't really like but am unbelievably proud of. Thank you for showing us all the limitless possibilities that we all have if we apply ourselves. I wish you all the strength, blessings and success. Go Trevor go (sic)."

The post was flooded with negative reactions as fans wrote their disappointment in Pearl. One fan said: "There she goes again, shine on other people's shine," while another commented:"That was unnecessary Pearl. That was out of order."

The general sentiment is that at a time when there is so much upheaval in South Africa, Trevor Noah has brought back a bit of the magic. And just like so many times in the past, we've all joined together to watch our guy make history.

Early on Thursday morning Redi Tlhabi's show on Talk Radio 702, callers phoned in to talk about the issue, saying that Pearl's comments border on hate speech.

Redi made an excellent point (obvs) saying that while she thinks people are being too sensitive, she does agree that it is not relevant that Pearl had to point out that she doesn't like Trevor.

Your thoughts on her below post?

Not very durable
So I bought this pair of gloves thinking they were going to be a durable/solid pair of gloves that would last a long time. After 4 rides or so I noticed the leather material was tearing at the seams in-between my fingers. The next ride I went on I took my first good spill with the Klim Adventure gloves on; the stitching on the glove around the padded area for the palm blew out and left a massive hole where the padding is supposed to protect my hands. The leather material used on these gloves is not as durable as I expected it to be and for $90 I expected a better product.

Fracking isn't new

By Jim Tynen
Posted Wednesday, June 4, 2014

e-mail E-mail this page   print Printer-friendly page

Raleigh, NC - One problem with the Monday protests is what lies between the lines. Listening to speakers today on Halifax Mall, for instance, you'd think fracking is something new and experimental and, therefore, dangerous.

But fracking isn't something new and untested. Fracking was pioneered in 1947. A baby born then is now collecting full Social Security. There have been more than 2.5 million fracking jobs since then, across the world. If there were massive problems they'd be apparent, and the news media would be trumpeting them from the housetops. But they aren't, because fracking is not a major threat.

About 32 states have allowed fracking. They've figured out how to do it. NC can take advantage of what they've learned, and avoid any mistakes they've made.

There are many things more dangerous than fracking: cars, buses, airplanes, bicycles. Heck, clean water is more dangerous than fracking: about 3,500 Americans drown every year. Maybe we should ban water.

On a more serious note, the protests then went on to call for Medicaid expansion. Most of us, including most of us on the right, think those truly unable to help themselves need some help. We just think Medicaid is a terrible way to do it.

Left unanswered on Monday was the question: How do you pay for medical care for the helpless?

One way of course is engage in fracking to develop the billions of dollars of energy wealth buried right under our feet. That's jobs for people who aren't afraid to put on hardhats and work boots, people who have had a tough time in recent years. And that's money for people to pay their own medical bills, and though their taxes help out those who really need help. And fracking creates revenue for government too; you'd think our liberal friends would jump right on that.

There are serious issues. Too bad the Monday protesters don't want to do anything about them.

Chelsea 2-0 PSG - He who dares wins!

Chelsea beat PSG 2-0 on the night, making it 3-3 on aggregate and advanced through to the Champions League Semi Finals once again with goals from Andre Schurrle and Demba Ba!

There is just something about this club, something about this competition and something that happens when these two come together. Add to that Jose Mourinho and this competition and you have to wonder just how far Chelsea will go this season!

Everything was against us ahead of the game, the media and the press had doubted whether or not Chelsea were still up for the fight, whether we had the ammunition to compete with PSG and whether the old guard could lead this new, young Chelsea team into yet another momentous night at Stamford Bridge.

Watching the pre match build up, it was all about PSG and how many goals they would score, despite Zlatan Ibrahimovic missing the game through injury. Could Edinson Cavani step up and fill his shoes? The press would have you believe he would. Sitting here now, Cavani and his team mates failed to score or take the chances they created and will watch the rest of the competition on the Television!

Even during the opening stages of the game it seemed that things were going against us as Eden Hazard limped off with a calf injury and was replaced by Andre Schurrle. It seemed that Chelsea were right up against it.

Being honest, half hour into the game, it looked like a tall order as we failed to create anything of real note with both sides looking to press and probe but offering little.

That all changed from a set piece down the Chelsea right. Ivanovic's throw into the box was flicked on by David Luiz and there was Andre Schurrle, totally unmarked to place his first time shot into the bottom corner to make it 1-0 Chelsea and 2-3 on aggregate.

Chelsea had another chance late on in the first half from another set piece but failed to take advantage. As the cross came over, Gary Cahill jumped and challenged for the ball and the rebound fell straight to his feet as he landed. He just didn't have enough time to set himself and couldn't connect with his half volley well enough and sliced the ball high and wide from just 12 yards out!. Half time 1-0 Chelsea.

The second half started and there were no team changes. Chelsea just needed one more goal to go through. However and once again, possession was shared as both clubs looked to counter attack. As time moved on, Chelsea came the closest to scoring as both Andre Schurrle and Oscar hit the crossbar with two efforts from outside the box!

Again, PSG are looking to contain and to counter and at times they succeed but anything around the box was mopped up by our imperious back four!

Chelsea begin to dominate possession now and look to get in behind PSG. The visitors drop deeper and deeper and make life difficult for us. 60 minutes, 70 minutes go past and time begins to run out for Chelsea.

Changes are made, Lampard comes off for Demba Ba and then Torres comes on for Oscar as Jose Mourinho literally throws everything forward. David Luiz is asked to sit in front of the back four as everyone else ploughs forward!

It's a very dangerous game Mourinho plays but he literally has no other choice and on two occasions Edinson Cavani and PSG nearly make Chelsea pay the price.

The first is more of a half chance as wide left, Cavani brings the ball under control and fires high and wide from just outside the corner of the box.

The second looked like the clear cut chance of the two. Cabaye picks the ball up in midfield and Cavani spins off his man. Cabaye spots his run and puts the ball on a plate for Cavani who has beaten Ivanovic to the ball. As he moves towards the box and Cech sets himself, it looks like all he has to do is find the corner and we are in trouble!

Instead, Cavani for the second time in about five minutes blasts the ball just over the bar and fails to make Cech work. A lucky escape for Chelsea but these are the chances we have to take.

As we move into the final ten minutes Chelsea are dominating possession and David Luiz is everywhere, winning possession and picking his passes. Again though, Chelsea still can't create a clear cut chance. Some half chances are made but they are easy for the PSG keeper to deal with.

On 87 minutes Stamford Bridge comes alive. The ball is played high into the box and Torres goes up to challenge. The ball comes to Eto'o who spins and shoots but it's blocked. The ball comes out to Cesar Azpilicueta who shoots from 35 yards and the ball is deflected off the defender and into the path of Demba Ba under pressure from his marker, dead centre just eight yards from goal.

Ba holds off the challenge and flicks the ball over the Goalkeeper and high into the net to make it 2-0 Chelsea and now 3-3 on aggregate! Chelsea have just three minutes plus added time to see it through!

Jose Mourinho legs it down the touchline as it seems he is about to join the players celebrations for the goal by the corner flag but he proves us all wrong as he becomes the coolest head in the stadium. He picks up the players one by one and gives them their instructions to defend the lead in the final minutes.

So here it is, with four minutes added time PSG are swarming forward as Alex pushes up front now. PSG dominate the ball as we drop deep and Demba Ba finds himself as a holding midfielder in front of the back four.

Corner after corner comes in and they are cleared but PSG continue to press. Then, Petr Cech springs into life and makes two saves to make up for the three goals last week to take us through!

First he saves low down from a half cleared corner and second he saves low down at his near post to push the ball wide for yet another corner that ends up being cleared once again!

With that, the final whistle blows and Chelsea have done it! What is it about this place on these big European nights? It's something special!

To a man Chelsea were fantastic. David Luiz and Willian were everywhere, Our back four immense, Petr Cech composed and saved us when we needed him to and everyone else played their part.

This football club refuses to lie down, to give up and will just not let go in the Champions League and we are through to our seventh semi-final in eleven seasons which is just amazing.

We sit and wait until Friday for the draw but at this stage I don't care who we get because they will not want to face Jose Mourinho and this Chelsea team!

Amazing night, amazing fight, desire and determination from all the players. He who dares wins and Chelsea dared and won!

  1. With Ivo suspended (on yellows), let's hope Cole is ready and in a fighting mood for the next match. He and Azpi will be put to quite the test by any of the other remaining teams.

Feeding Your Infant

Four to Six Months Old

Your baby will be ready to start to eat solid food at about four to six months of age. You can prepare this yourself. There are good reasons for starting your child on solids at this age -

  • Baby may still be hungry after a milk feed;

  • It lets babies get to know different tastes and textures;

  • Babies need to learn how to swallow solid food.

  • Chewing also helps in the development of muscles in preparation for speech.

  • The iron stored by the liver since birth will be diminishing.

You can give your child the following quite safely -

  • Good quality natural fruit juice - 30 to 60 mL daily.

  • Cereal - Start with rice cereal with added iron. Mix about 1 to 2 teaspoons of cereal with a small amount of breast or formula milk in a dish. Make it thick like porridge and give to your baby at the same time each day. It may take a while for your baby to become used to this new taste sensation. You could also use a little mashed pasta, rice or other cereal food as the first solid food.

Don’t add sugar or honey.

Always feed the cereal to your baby with a spoon.

Don’t use baby biscuits, as they have too much sugar in them.

  • Fresh fruits - such as ripe banana, pear, pawpaw, rockmelon, peach or avocado.

  • Cooked fruits - try apple and pear. Try to grate harder fruits and vegetables.

  • Canned fruits - unsweetened or fruits in their own juices are the best and the easiest to use.

  • Cooked Vegetables (fresh is preferable) such as potato carrots zucchini broccoli pumpkin sweet potato marrow

To cook - steam vegetables. Then mash, blend or sieve them.

Don’t add salt, Vegemite, Marmite or Promite or margarine or butter to vegetables.

  • Rice porridge

If your baby is under 6 months you may start with rice porridge and later add vegetables to rice porridge.

If your baby is over 6 months, you may add minced meat or fish as well.

  • Yoghurt -  Use natural yoghurt and if needed, add fruit.

Helpful Hints

  • Always test the temperature of the food on the inside of your wrist before giving it to baby

  • It is not necessary to use salt

  • Always give solids after baby’s milk.

  • Don’t bombard your child with too much new food too soon. Give your baby only one new food every few days

  • If your baby doesn’t like a new food, that’s all right. Wait for a few days and try again.

  • It sometimes takes a while for babies to learn to eat from a spoon. Use a small teaspoon without sharp edges.

How much food does Your baby need?

Start baby with 2-4 teaspoons of solids at each meal and increase to roughly half a cup by 6 months, or according to your baby’s appetite.

Do not become worried if your child won’t eat solids or won’t eat everything you give him. All babies are different - some need more food than others and some do not need to start solids until six months.

Do not force your child to eat, he will eat when he is hungry.

 Six to Eight Months Old

At this age your baby needs to begin to learn how to chew even if he does not have teeth. Solids should play an increasingly important role in nutrition from now on.

  • Cereal - continue on using iron-fortified baby cereals at least until 9 months. Vita-Brits, Weet-Bix or porridge could be started after 9 months.

  • Egg yolk - You may also give your baby the yolk of an egg. Only give a little at a time until your baby gets used to it. You give it to your baby mixed with vegetables, or from a finger of toast dipped into yolk, or give just the plain yolk.

  • Vegetables - spinach, silver beet and green beans.

  • Meats

  • fish, steamed - make sure there is no skin or bones

  • chicken, finely chopped or pureed.

  • brains, mashed.

  • roast meat or steak - thin flakes scaped off the meat.

  • lamb’s fry.

  • Babies often enjoy chewing on a rusk.

  • Fruit juice - 60 to 12mls daily.

Teething usually starts between 6 and 9 months of age. They usually like to have something in their mouth to ease the pain and discomfort - a rusk is great.

They will also enjoy feeding themselves using their fingers or a safe spoon. They also love chewing on foods such as cooked carrot, celery, green beans, pumpkin; meat, fish, chicken, cheese; pieces of ripe banana, peach, pear, small pieces of orange, apple; sandwiches, toast.

Nine to Twelve Months Old

Babies at this age should be eating most of the same foods as you. But your should be cutting it up in small pieces or mashing it.

  • vegetables

  • fruit

  • pasta dishes

  • potato

  • bread

  • pudding

  • meat, fish, chicken

  • whole egg

  • rice dishes

Raw apple, celery or carrot should be grated

Do not add extra salt or sugar to your baby’s food.

Don’t give fried foods.

  • Snack foods -  Babies often like to munch on something between meals. Healthy options are pieces of soft fruit, plain cracker biscuits, toast or bread.

Avoid the following - sweet biscuits, sugary foods, sweetened fruit drinks, cordials and soft drinks, salty packet chips and crisps, nuts, peanuts, hard lollies, uncooked carrot or celery and whole peas

Drinking from a cup

Between 6 and 9 months, your baby can start to learn to drink from a cup.

To help him/her learn, give him/her an unbreakable cup to play with and show him how to put it to his/her mouth. Then, add a little water, juice or milk and let him/her learn to use it.

It takes most babies some time to learn to drink from a cup. Don’t worry if he/she makes a mess.

Each day your baby needs these foods to continue to grow to be strong and healthy:

  • Milk - either breast milk or 4 small cups

  • Wholegrain cereal, bread, rice or pasta - 3 servings

  • Yellow or dark green vegetables - 1 serving

  • Juice - 1 small cup

  • Other fruits and vegetables - 2 servings

  • Meat, fish, chicken, eggs, cheese or legumes - 1 or 3 servings

  • Filtered water to drink

If you are breast feeding, continue to breast feed for as long as you and your baby want to.

If bottle feeding, it’s a good idea to start taking your baby off the bottle by twelve months and offer milk from a cup.

  • Snacks  - Most toddlers cannot eat very much at each meal and they get hungry between meals. So they like snacks. Some good ideas are:

pieces of fruit

fruit juice

peanut butter on plain cracker biscuits or bread

small pieces of cheese or cold meat

small cups of milk

Avoid all sweet, refined or fatty snack foods.

Fluids and Vitamins

It is good to offer your baby water regularly. They may not want it however. Do not add sugar or honey to the baby’s water.

Breast milk and recommended infant formulas contain all the vitamins your baby needs for the first 4 to 6 months.

Fruit juice

When baby is 4-6 months of age, you may wish to give some diluted fruit juice, especially in hot weather.

  • 30mL fresh fruit juice in 30mL of cool boiled water.

  • Do not use syrup fruit juices.
