| Sweet mementos: Chocolography prints up edible gifts
Getting a gift that stands out can be a hassle on a small island like Guam, but one way around that is to personalize it. That's when a place like Chocolography Chocolate Photo Factory might come in handy. Jimmy Bang opened the little chocolate shop that can print edible images onto chocolate in December last year. Even though he's not a fan of chocolate, he decided to get into the chocolate printing business after coming across a Chocolography booth during a wholesale food convention in Singapore. The idea intrigued him and he saw an opportunity to bring something new to Guam. He spent two weeks in New York, learning about Chocolography at its main facility, which is also where the chocolate comes from. Since then, he's taken orders for everything from business and military functions to baby birthday parties and weddings.
She's the cutest!
I did not think the paparazzi were allowed in grocry stores?? Especially a upscale Market like Gelson's! She invited the camera man in. I don't mean to be nasty but lately this chick has been over the top in these threads and pictures of her just shopping, getting gas, pictures taken and now more shopping. I would love to see her actually try to cook something? .
Bishop backs mosque's call to prayer
THE BISHOP of Oxford has rejected another senior clergyman's fears that piping out the call to prayer in East Oxford could create a "no-go area" for non-Muslims. The Rt Rev John Pritchard backed plans for the call to prayer in Oxford - rejecting controversial comments made by the Anglican church's only Asian bishop, the Rt Rev Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, of Rochester. Bishop Michael had said that attempts were being made to impose an "Islamic character" on communities, creating "no-go areas" where people of different faiths would find it hard to live and work. But Bishop John said: "I want to distance myself from what the Bishop of Rochester has said. "I have been with the House of Bishops for the past three days and we agreed there are no no-go areas in this country that we are aware of, and that in all parts of the country there are good inter-faith relationships developing." In November, it emerged that leaders at Oxford's Central Mosque, in Manzil Way, were considering asking for planning permission to issue the call to prayer from the mosque - and Bishop John said he was "very happy" with the move.

Humiliation for Edwards
The community was an inner-ring suburb with a student-body profile that ran from poor to upper middle class with a racial mix that cut across class lines, but with blacks concentrated on the lower end. In many ways, we were ground-zero on the achievement gap. We also faced severe budget challenges, having to cut programs and services, including many jobs, year after year. In this context, despite my generally well-to-the-left-of-center-leanings, I came to conclude, most reluctantly, that the teacher's union was part of the problem, not the solution. This is not to absolve the elected board of education or the administration of any responsibility, but the union steadfastly refused to work with either in addressing the educational and budgetary issues. In the mind of the leadership, cooperation was capitulation.
