Thanks to their lack of awareness for consequences, we'll always know exactly what children are thinking - good or bad. There's something to love about the most innocent time of life and honestly, I wish we could all learn to speak our minds more often.

Why John Kerry gave Russia's foreign minister potatoes Updated Tuesday, January 21st 2014 at 10:00 GMT +3 0 inShare Adapted from http://news.yahoo.com Being the United States' top diplomat is an incredibly difficult job that requires one to be smooth, tough and cool in knowing that you're always one misstep away from starting an international incident. But on the plus side, you sometimes get to give potatoes as gifts. Secretary of State John Kerry, meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Paris, presented his Russian counterpart with two extremely large Idaho potatoes. Not exactly a PlayStation 4, but there was a good reason for the gift. NBC News reports that Kerry said that Lavrov had mentioned Idaho potatoes during a previous meeting. Via NBC News: Russia's foreign minister seemed to appreciate the gesture, smiling and remarking that the gifts were "impressive." The Russians, not the type to receive a gift without having one to give, presented State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki with a pink ushanka hat, for keeping warm during the Sochi Olympics. In 2009, then- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton presented Lavrov with a red "reset button" intended to symbolize a desire to restart the two nations' relationship on a positive track after a split over Russia's invasion of Georgia. Often, the United States is on the receiving end of unusual gifts. For example, in 2012, President Barack Obama received a saber with a 34-inch blade from Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj. For a full list of gifts received from foreign sources by employees of the executive branch of the U.S. government, check out this long — but fascinating -list. A nice perk, but keep in mind that just because you get a gift doesn't always mean it's yours to keep. Via State.gov: GO TO PAGE 1 2 Next »

So 9ice Is Finally Quitting Music?!?



Singer 9ice 1Most Nigerian musicians, doing Afro-Pop, Hip-Hop and Rap, do not have enough stamina to stay in the game for too long and that’s because they sing all the words in their brain pretty fast. But within the short period of their reign, they spend carelessly, buying cars and stuffs that depreciates fast.
This “sickness” seem to have caught up with singer 9ice. See his latest confession below…
I’m leaving music, I need to go into something more challenging. Music is no longer competitive for me, I’ve done all that needs to be done in music,” 9ice told a reporter.
How can 9ice say he has achieved all there is to achieve in music between 2008 and 2013, in just five years? I hope younger musicians will see the message in this development and learn from them?

Nigerian musicians, leaving music, Afro-Pop, Hip-Hop,  Rap, 9ice,

Uganda's anti-gay laws blocked by President Museveni

An asylum seeker from Uganda covers his face with a paper bag in order to protect his identity as he marches with the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force during the Gay Pride Parade in Boston, Massachusetts June 8, 2013. Some gay Ugandans have fled the country, saying they are being persecuted
Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has refused to approve a controversial bill to toughen laws against homosexuals.
He has written to the parliamentary speaker criticising her for passing it in December without a quorum.
Homosexuals were "abnormal" and could be "rescued", Uganda's private Monitor paper quotes the president's letter as saying.
The bill includes life imprisonment for homosexual acts and also makes it a crime not to report gay people.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in the capital, Kampala says the promotion of homosexuality - even talking about it without condemning the lifestyle - would also be punishable by a prison term.
Mr Museveni said the bill was forced through despite his advice to shelve it until the government had studied it in depth, the Monitor reports.
"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons," he is quoted as saying.
The president is aware that if he signs the bill there will be an international outcry, which could see some countries suspend aid to the country, our reporter says.
Human rights activists say the bill highlights the intolerance and discrimination the gay community faces in Uganda.
One gay activist was killed in 2011, although the police denied he was targeted because of his sexuality.
The bill has been condemned by world leaders since it was mooted in 2009 - US President Barack Obama called it "odious".
The private member's bill originally proposed the death penalty for some offences, such as if a minor was involved or the perpetrator was HIV-positive, but this was dropped.

Rodgers: Daniel's in starting contention



If selected, Daniel Sturridge is fit and ready to make his first start since recovering from injury when Liverpool take on Aston Villa on Saturday, Brendan Rodgers has confirmed.
The striker returned to action with a bang as a second-half substitute in Sunday's 5-3 victory at Stoke City; creating a goal for Luis Suarez before getting on the scoresheet himself.
After another week's worth of training at Melwood, Rodgers feels Sturridge is fit enough to be considered for a starting berth when Villa come to Anfield this weekend.
The boss told Liverpoolfc.com: "His qualities and fitness, aligned with what I've seen in training, I think show that if we needed him to start, he would be able to."
Despite having not figured since the Merseyside derby on November 23 due to an ankle problem sustained in training, Sturridge looked fresh as he made his comeback at the Britannia Stadium.
It was a similar scenario at the start of 2013-14 when, despite having his pre-season disrupted by injury, the 24-year-old began the campaign with an immediate impact by firing in each of his first five matches.
Rodgers added: "I think that says everything. He's a boy that is blessed genetically with this wonderful gift of being able to recover - but it's also a mark of his professionalism as well.
"When you've been out for so long, like he was in pre-season, to come back and play as quickly as he did showed how hard he was working in the off-season. And likewise now after the period out.
"He looks after his body, his body fat, his weight and that natural fitness he has, alongside his work, allows him to come back and make the impact he made last week.
"He's again looked very, very good in training, very sharp, and he'll be at a good level come the weekend."

“When I First Came Into Chelsea Dressing Room I Was Shaking All Through” – Mikel Obi’s Touching Memories

playingalongside Obi,” Lampard told the Chelsea official website. ”He’s a top holding midfield player, and for me personally being more attacking in my game it helps to play with someone who has discipline and moves the ball quickly, which Obi can do. He’s one of those players who will not make headlines, but he’s happy to go unrecognised in his work and he has a huge worth for the team when he plays.”
Mikel Obi, who arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2006 from Lyn Oslo, also praised the England international and pointed him out as one of the senior players, who helped him settle in at the club quickly.
“Coming into a big club like Chelsea, as a young 18-year-old from Africa, it was a dream come true. I remember coming into the dressing room and I was shaking all through the first week. The players in there really helped me settle in – John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and the other African players that were there at the time. I looked at these guys every day and I learned a lot from them, how they act on and off the football pitch, which helped me develop and mature as a person. It was a growing up stage which I never had with any other team. I just jumped straight into this team so I had to learn that way.”

Transfer window: Shane Long set for Hull City move

Hull City are set to sign West Brom striker Shane Long after the clubs agreed a fee which could rise to £7m.
Long, 26, almost moved to the Tigers on transfer deadline day in September and will hold talks again on Thursday.
The Republic of Ireland forward, who scored 22 goals in 87 games for West Brom, has 18 months left on his deal.

Goals exit

With Romelu Lukaku and Peter Odemwingie gone and Long set to depart, West Brom will have lost players who scored 30 of their 53 league goals in 2012-13.
"Despite our best endeavours, Shane has declined to sign a new contract," said West Brom sporting director Richard Garlick.
"We began talking to Shane about a new contract last spring and, during the ongoing negotiations, we made two offers which would have significantly increased his salary."
Long, who has scored 10 goals in 43 caps, would follow Everton striker Nikica Jelavic to Hull after the Croatia international joined the Tigers for a similar fee.
Former Reading frontman Long had a medical at the KC Stadium in September, but then-West Brom manager Steve Clarke blocked the transfer, despite signing both Stephane Sessegnon and Victor Anichebe on the same day.
Long failed to score in his first eight appearances for the club this season, before netting his only three league goals of the campaign against Chelsea and Aston Villa in November.
Despite playing a full 90 minutes at Southampton in front of new boss Pepe Mel, who watched the defeat from the stands, Long could not be persuaded to stay at The Hawthorns.
"Shane effectively only has 18 months left on his deal and with him no closer to accepting our terms and then Hull making an acceptable offer, we felt it was in the club's best interests to accept the bid," added Garlick

Meet 20-year-old With World’s Longest Leg At 47 Inches

ross
At 6’1 it may make it easy for Britain’s Alexandra Robertson, 20 to make claim that she indeed is the possessor of the world’s longest legs.
The curiosity to find out how long her own legs came after Anastasia Strashevskaya, a trainee Russian lawyer with 42 inch pins recently won Russia’s Miss Long Legs contest. To her delight Robertson went on to see that she had 5 inches over her Russian rival, measuring at 47 inch pins.
Reflected the model who also happens to be a size 34 DD and wears size 10 dresses: ‘It is crazy – I had no idea my legs were quite that long.’
Robertson from Blackpool, who is 6ft 1, said that next year Miss Longest Legs should be opened to the whole world, adding that she would fancy her chances.
While pursuing a degree in musical theater, Alexandra Robertson also pursues modeling, having being picked up by a local agency after entering a competition when she turned 18. These days she primarily models bridal wear and perhaps not surprisingly lingerie.
Told the leggy model: ‘I do get some stares and I suppose I do intimidate men sometimes, especially in my high heels, but it’s not intentional. I often hear things like “do you play basketball?” but I just turn around and reply “no, do you play mini-golf?” and we end up having a laugh.’
Fortunately Miss Robertson’s height doesn’t intimidate her boyfriend of two years, Laurson Moston, 21.
At 6ft, he is only an inch shorter than her. ‘He doesn’t mind my height at all,’ she said. ‘He did ban me from wearing really high heels when I’m with him, though, because I tower over him then.’
Being tall is something of a family trait. Miss Robertson’s sister Lorna Rycroft, 33, is the same height as her.
But it also has its pitfalls. Told the leggy model: ‘Getting clothes to fit, especially fashion clothes, is a bit of a nightmare.’
Not that some of us don’t mind the occasional tall order.

HOW ABOUT SOME NAIGERIAN POLITICS..?

Tukur’s Successor: Patience Jonathan Schemes To Install Her Candidate, SEE Who It IS

As the battle to replace the embattled chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur continues, Dame Patience Jonathan, first lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is said to have a preferred candidate for the position.
patience_jonathan_218541741The candidate that Patience is reportedly scheming to install as Tukur’s successor is the current minister of transport, Sen. Idris Umar from Borno State.
Tukur was said to have submitted his resignation letter to President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday, but he denied it while speaking to State House correspondents.
The first lady’s choice of Umar has however been criticised by some leaders of the PDP who are of the view that she was part of the trouble in the PDP.
The source said: “We have been on this struggle for long, even before the G-5 governors made good their threat to dump the PDP; but each time we tried to effect it, we were always hitting the rocks because the president’s wife was convinced that it was only Tukur who could deliver her husband in 2015.
“And, unfortunately, there are some close aides of the president who, in connivance with the chairman, were always drumming it to her ears that those who want Tukur out were indeed after the president; all these are tissues of lies that actually prolonged the ultimate decision.
“But, again, even with his resignation, there is yet another challenge that is now threatening the unity of the PDP, and it is the influence of the president’s wife who again insists on Senator Idris Umar, the transport minister, to be made chairman. She has reached out to almost all those who matter in the party to support Umar but we will not bow to this because it is high time Her Excellency was counselled to be circumspect in the affairs of the PDP.”
However, the final decision on who takes over from Tukur would rest on the National Executive Committee (NEC) which meets today.
Prince Uche Secondus, the deputy national chairman,  would take over the leadership of the party in acting capacity, if the option to immediately pick Tukur’s replacement from his zone fails.
