Frank really was just that kid in the bunny suit, he mastered time travel, which is not explained in the movie. He went back in time to warn donnie, because only donnie could see all this time rift shit. The hole in the sky is just the end of the world, that only happens in one of the two scenarios. Either donnie's gilfriend gets killed or donnie does (he would have been in his room when the jet engine fell).but if donnie dies, the world is saved.
...seriously though, I have no bloody idea... |
atomicnuke | #92 Subject: Why are you wearing that stupid human suit? Posted: 03/23/2005 20:25:58 |
Yeah, would just say I love this movie and watch all the time. I'd also like to say, I've read a lot of theories and find it funny some theories are popping up now after the Director's Cut has come out. I'm just saying this because I see some state basically what Richard Kelly said in the DC, but only recently, which makes me wonder.

Finally, Richard Kelly is directing another movie, and has two other movies that he has written also coming out this year. It's called "Southland Tales", and supposedly is a musical sci fi comedy set in 2008 during a summer heatwave before a fourth of july party. Or at least that's what IMDB says.
The official site is up, you should all check it out. I'm really excited to finally see what he is up to next. |

Okay, I got most of the film (with a tangent universe, the Artifact, ect.) But the one scene that I'm still confused about is when Donnie is at the rally (the one where he calls Jim the anti-christ, and then Jim says the young man's name was Frank. then Donnie says he's time traveling. What happened? was it Franks father??? Don't go off on me , I'm only 13!!!

What I really like about donnie darko is how it can be interpreted in different ways by different people and have both interpretations make sense. Its just a great movie that makes you think and have late night discussions about it with your friends hours after you finished watching the movie. Definately one of if not my favorite movies ever.
tucker_ninet... | #118 Subject: This movie..... Posted: 10/05/2005 14:38:09 |
fucking rocked. Every aspect of it was excellent. For such a low budgeted movie, it was terrificly good and I connected to it in an odd way. I loved it and then went out and bought the special edition from Hot Topic.
synce | #119 Subject: Let me get this straight... Posted: 10/10/2005 01:29:07 |
So, basically, the events in the movie are all part of a dream shared by the people Donnie would've encountered in the future if he chose to live? But Donnie decides to accept his fate and die? Well, that's what I walked away with. Donnie Darko has to be one of my favorite movies. The more I watch it, the more I understand it. I love that. |

NBC Broadcast of RWC Viewed By... |
International - Rugby World Cup |
The Eagles match against Ireland, according to the Nielsen ratings as translated by TVbythenumbers.com, was viewed live on NBC by 866,000 homes. The .5 final rating was lower than the estimated preliminary rating of .7, but in terms of sheer viewership, the game was on par with NBC's airing of the Collegiate Rugby Championship and USA Sevens. And of course, the match was up against the opening week of the NFL and the US Open. 20 live sports broadcasts were watched by more people last week, including Deutsche Bank golf (NBC), Track & Field in Zurich, Switzerland (NBC), Fox Saturday Baseball and Poker After Dark. Listed behind the RWC match (21) in TVbythenumbers.com's top 25 live sports broadcasts of the week were the Dew Tour (NBC) and Mexican soccer (Univision). Ratings for the Universal Sports replay and live online webcast were not immediately available. |

Chicago Bans Sale of Crib Bumpers
September 9, 2011
by Kate Goodin
© Veer
On Thursday, Chicago became the first city in the U.S. to ban the sale of crib bumper pads due to the SIDS risk they may pose. The passage of this law, which will go into effect in about seven months, stems from a report the Chicago Tribune published which stated the CPSC has failed to warn parents about the dangers of crib bumpers.
Plus: The CPSC takes a closer look at crib bumper safety
A member of the council who passed the law was quoted in the Tribune saying, "If we were to wait for federal regulators, it probably would never get done." The Tribune reported that federal regulators haven't made a law yet because there's no scientific link between bumpers and suffocations, and that other soft items in cribs like pillows and blankets may be contributing factors.
Plus: 20+ ways to babyproof your house
This ban comes in the wake of another study, which found that parents are still using soft bedding and bumpers with newborns, despite the SIDS risk it poses. Nancy Maruyama, of SIDS of Illinois, supports the ban because it aligns with the stance of safety advocates to remove all soft things from a baby's crib. Parents might continue buying soft bumpers in spite of the SIDS risk, Maruyama told the Tribune, because parents think that "if stores sell it, it must be safe."
Do you think this ban is (part of) the answer to preventing further SIDS deaths? Do you (or did you) use crib bumpers?

Episode four of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson, which followed UFC on FX 5 on Friday night, piggybacked off the strength of the live event to its best TV ratings of the season.
The episode drew 1.1 million viewers, according to industry sources. That marks the first time this season's it has crested the 1 million mark.
It's no secret that there's been a drop in overall viewership since TUF moved over to FX. Much of the decline in absolute numbers has been overshadowed, at least according to UFC president Dana White, by the fact that the numbers are still strong enough to give FX a boost in its Friday night ratings in key demographics, which is what the network is more concerned with.
UFC on FX 5 also scored 1.1 million viewers, spilling over to TUF, at least for the night. That was surely in the plans when scheduling the event for the same night as TUF. It remains to be seen if the reality show can carry any of that audience over for the remainder of its season.
TUF 16 TV Ratings:
Episode 1: 947,000
Episode 2: 872,000
Episode 3: 775,000
Episode 4: 1,100,000

Fair enough. Would Download.com's process catch these kinds of apps? I'm not sure they would show up in a scan.
Knowing Google, they won't want to do this unless it can be automated. (A false positive would probably ban you from the market, adsense, and adwords for life with no explanation ;).
And is the manual review done for the App Store catching these things? That is certainly implied.
And looking at the entire article, it's not even a sure thing that any phishing happened. And yet on the slightest suspicion, Google pulled more than 50 apps from one developer.
FWIW, I think Google should take steps to protect users. But I believe that they are taking the *WRONG* steps in this case. If their procedure for vetting an application is "pull it if it causes us any bad PR", and "destroy all copies so no one can figure it out if it was actually bad", then I don't think that's doing the job.
09Droid could be the true victim for all that anyone knows now.

The 1998 season began with a cool late spring, which delayed flowering and set the stage for a harvest that was three to four weeks later than normal. Cool weather in early September added to our worries, but sunny skies in October were enough to fully ripen all but the very latest vineyards of Cabernet. Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which ripen a week to two weeks earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon, were especially successful in contributing ripe flavors to the blend.
This wine displays aromas of cedar, ripe currents, spice, and leather with a soft, silky finish and a lingering aftertaste. It is crafted to be enjoyable to drink as a young wine and will continue to improve in the bottle. Try it with bold flavored pastas or Sonoma duck or lamb.
With its name inspired by the method that workers used to create the original vineyard site on the rocky slopes of the Sonoma Valley, Dynamite Vineyards captured the public"s imagination when its 1991 vintage was released.

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Definition of furlong in English:
Line breaks: fur|longPronunciation: /ˈfəːlɒŋ
- An eighth of a mile, 220 yards.More example sentences
- Eight furlongs into the ten furlong race, Gatwick looked to have next to no chance.
- The roar of the crowd must have been music to the ears of McCoy, who never looked back and led for all two miles and five furlongs of the race.
- This is a promising young horse, who is likely to relish every yard of the two miles and six furlongs.
Old English furlang, from furh 'furrow' + lang 'long'. The word originally denoted the length of a furrow in a common field (formally regarded as a square of ten acres). It was also used as the equivalent of the Roman stadium, one eighth of a Roman mile, whence the current sense. Compare with stadium.

What Are Trans Fatty Acids (Trans Fats)?
Natural foods (that is, unprocessed foods) contain two main types of fatty acids - saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids - which come from animal fats (meat, lard, dairy products) and tropical oils such as coconut and palm oils - can raise your blood levels of LDL cholesterol. Unsaturated fats - which come from vegetable oils - in general do not increase cholesterol levels, and may reduce them.Trans fatty acids (trans fats) are a third form of fatty acids. While trans fats do occur in tiny amounts in some foods (particularly foods from animals), almost all the trans fats now in our diets come from an industrial process that partially hydrogenates (adds hydrogen to) unsaturated fatty acids. Trans fats, then, are a form of processed vegetable oils. This means that in our diets, trans fats are almost exclusively found in the processed foods we eat.
The advantage of trans fats to the food processing industry is that partial hydrogenation solidifies and stabilizes vegetable oils, which otherwise tend to turn rancid relatively quickly. Because they exist in solid form instead of liquid form, trans fats can be used as substitutes for saturated fats in food products that are meant to have a long shelf life.
Trans fats were invented in the 1890s and began entering the food supply in the 1910s. However, the use of trans fats in food processing really took off in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was learned that saturated fats can be bad for your health.
Because trans fats were derived from the more healthy vegetable oils, it was assumed that they, too, would be healthy food products.
What Is Unhealthy About Trans Fats?
Unfortunately, as it turns out (and as we were relatively slow to learn), trans fats increase total cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol levels; worse (and in contrast to saturated fats), they reduce HDL cholesterol levels. Trans fats also appear to interfere with the body's usage of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart health.In other words, trans fatty acids are bad for cardiovascular health.
Which Is Worse - Saturated Fats or Trans Fats?
Both. Saturated fats and trans fatty acids are bad for you. Saturated fats are almost always found in foods that also contain cholesterol, so saturated fats offer a "one-two" punch to heart health. On the other hand, trans fatty acids not only increase LDL cholesterol, they also decrease HDL cholesterol. While nobody can say yet definitively which is worse, it does appear that both are bad.Which Foods Contain Trans Fats?
Fortunately, today it is relatively easy to identify foods that contain substantial amounts of trans fats. The easiest way is to check the food labels, since by law food manufacturers must now disclose how much trans fats they are putting into their products.Also, there are certain types of foods that are very likely to contain trans fats. These include margarines. (The more solid the margarine, the more the trans fatty acids. So, stick margarines contain the most, tub margarines less and semi-liquid margarines the least trans fats).
Also, high-fat baked goods (especially doughnuts, cookies, cakes, chips and crackers); most deep-fried foods; and any product that has "partially hydrogenated vegetable oils" contain trans fats.
What Are the Good Fats?
Unsaturated vegetable oils from canola, peanuts, olive, flax, corn, safflower and sunflower (as long as they have not been subjected to the process of hydrogenation) are heart healthy. These oils contain monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids that can reduce total cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol levels. These oils also contain the essential fatty acids - specific fatty acids necessary for life but which the body cannot make itself - such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.What Should the Health-Conscious Consumer Do?
There are three basic steps to reducing the amount of "bad" fat in your diet and substituting "good" fat.- First, avoid the saturated fatty acids found in meat, dairy products and tropical oils (palm and coconut).
- Second, avoid trans fats by reading the food labels of processed foods.
- Third, whenever possible substitute one of the natural unsaturated vegetable oils in recipes calling for stick margarine, butter or lard (pig fat).

God...if only! But alas, Marvel would poo-poo the poop out of it...
Yeah, no connection there at all. Shooter was on board as an editor at the new Valiant for a time, then ran out on them and did the GK stuff at DH. After reading those, him leaving may have been the best thing that happened to them. The art and writing teams are FAR superior to the GK books.Huge fan of the old Valiant (espically pre unity) which I still re-read all the time. Those pre unity comics are damn near magical in my eyes. Im very excited for the new launch, but still sceptical. There is so much potential and I hope it catches on. I will give the first few issues a shot.
I got burned by Shooter's pretty awful Gold Key relaunch of his old Valiant books recently. I wont stick around just to stick around if they are crap. All signs are looking good though. Thats probably a very unfair comparison though cause Shooter's new Gold Key stuff was just so dated.
VALIANT, Saga, Chew, Manhattan Projects, Revival, East of West, Locke & Key, Hawkeye, Young Avengers.
Was flipping through the FCBD issue and was intrigued by the Eternal Warrior pin-up. Looks really cool and almost had a samurai/ronin vibe look. Can anyone explain what that series was about or what to expect from the new series coming up??
Currently reading:Creepy, Eerie, Frankenstein Alive Alive, The Goon, Haunted Horror, Hellboy in Hell, Minimum Wage
Eternal Warrior was pretty rad. Each of the Valiant books/main characters are so different from each other.
Basically Eternal Warrior is Gilad Anni-Padda. Hes an immortal who has been around for 1000's of years, born in BC times. The old book took place in current times with loads of flashback issues from all throughout history (think World War II to ancient Egypt). There's these mystical characters called Geomancers who claim they can speak to the earth - one is selected at a time throughout history. They are basically prophets and protectors of the earth. Gilad serves the Geomancers acting as their "fist".
The old EW looked like someone out of Fist of the Northstar - he wore a unique jacket and had a glove with spikes on the knuckles. In other words - the dude kicks all kind of ass. I wont spoil who, but Gilad is the brother of another main Valiant character and he is just as old as him.
EW makes a secret cameo in the new X-O Manowar #1. Take a close look at the opening battle in the field - hes the dude with the scars on his face of course.

That sounds pretty cool, going around in history and kicking ass. I'll be waiting for the creative team to be announced and check it out once winter rolls. Thanks for the reply!!

Excited? I'm ecstatic about this relaunch i'll be picking up "Harbinger" and "Armstrong & Archer" when they hit shelves.
Don't forget Bloodshot in between! I know he's the most "mainstream" character of the launch, but I think there is going to be some crazy stuff in that book. 2 awesome artists are splitting duty and the hot rumor is Rai may be a big part of it all before that series launches next year.
VALIANT, Saga, Chew, Manhattan Projects, Revival, East of West, Locke & Key, Hawkeye, Young Avengers.
The FCBD issue teased Eternal Warrior this Winter and Rai next Spring. No word on Shadowman yet, unfortunately, but all indications are that he and Ninjak are the next two in the pipeline.
Shadowman was teased a bit on the Valiant tumblr last year as they were ramping up for the relaunch. And Ninjak seems to be a favorite of the new ownership. I think they are aiming for 8 titles by the end of 2013.
Personally I'd like to see Timewalker or HARD Corps over Ninjak, but who am I to complain when I get new Valiant after 20 years?

Ohhh, can't wait for a possible Shadowman return!
If only Valiant had the rights to Doctor Solar. Hopefully they can do something with Solar the Destroyer even if they have to change the name.

Life In The Adamantium Bleachers: A Fans Look At The Hot Players In The NFL
Today we will take our fandom evaluation around the league with a look at 10 players or situations that impressed or surprised us on the past couple of weeks. Since we're all about the positives here at Bull City, let's start with the five players who put on particularly impressive showings this past Sunday and Monday.
Who's Hot
1. Steven Jackson might become the poster boy for this section. The man just goes hard day in and day out. Sunday he seemed to be playing a little bit harder and acted as if he had something to prove. Maybe he didn't like where I ranked him in the 5 best running backs in the league last week and he decided that he was going to prove me wrong. Seriously outside of Matt Forte is there a more complete runner in the league?

Bridge Builders celebrates fifth anniversary, increased membership
Published on Wed, Feb 20, 2008 by
Ashley Oden
Read More
Things don't always turn out the way they are expected.
Sometimes life takes an unexpected twist and a person has to start back at square one, or perhaps one step forward leads to two steps back. But every once in awhile, things turn out better than ever could be imagined. That is the case for Mindi Blanchard, founder and president of Bridge Builders, Ltd.
Bridge Builders offers 24-hour individualized service to improve quality of life for clients by meeting day-to-day and long-term needs such as bill paying, personal shopping, transportation to and from doctor appointments and daily check-in calls just to make sure everything is OK. The business is celebrating its fifth anniversary and has increased from 90 clients in 2005 to 158 clients in 2008.
"You always start a business with grandiose ideals and then what you think is going to work doesn't always work," Blanchard said. "We have morphed a lot since the beginning because our ultimate goal is and has always been to find out what people need and offer them that."
Blanchard and her associates are not caregivers. "We prefer the title 'professional daughters,'" she said, as one man coined them. "Bridge Builders offers support services that people can use and still pay less than they would be paying at an assisted-living center. We specialize in crisis management. We are able to respond quickly and then use the community's resources long term. Our clients can call any time of day or night if they need anything and that alone improves their quality of life."
Bridge Builders isn't just for seniors. Services extend to all ages, the youngest client on the books being 4 years old and the oldest 102. Though in Sequim the majority of clients are in their 80s and 90s, Blanchard said.
Living at home is an important issue to seniors, according to Blanchard.
"Our society is one of independence and the thought of giving that up is devastating to many," she said. "Just about every person you talk to will say, 'I want to stay in my own home until I take my last breath,' some more adamantly than others."
If a client reaches the point where it's no longer healthy or safe for them to live independently, Bridge Builders employees discuss the person's options with them. "We try to dispel the mindset of the old-fashioned warehouse nursing homes," Blanchard said. "We offer tours and take them to lunch to see different facilities before they make a decision."
For some clients, Bridge Builders is the closest thing to "family" they have, Blanchard added. "But they can't push our buttons like real family can," she said with a smile.
Bridge Builders advocates for its clients.
"It's important to have somebody advocate for you when you get ill and are trying to navigate the health care system," Blanchard said. "You could not be well enough to do it yourself or maybe not understand what your rights are. I don't care how old you are, when you are in the middle of a crisis, you need help to get through it and get the optimal care. And that's what we do best."
Glancing into the future
Bridge Builders is taking a more educational stance as it enters its sixth year in business.
"I'm trying to do more informational things to educate family members dealing with difficult parents and learning more effective ways of getting what they need done but making it seem like the parents' idea," Blanchard explained. "I call it 'benevolent manipulation.'"
Blanchard is teaching an enhanced caregiving training class offered through Peninsula College March 11-18. The class is funded by a grant from MetLife and is free to attendees. Those who successfully complete the course receive state certification. Topics include understanding the client care plan, improving communication skills and working with challenging clients, taught over a 22-hour, three-day schedule. For more information or to register, call Genaveve Starr at 417-6259 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Watching a parent grow older and lose the ability to do things for his or her self is one of the most difficult things a child can face," Blanchard acknowledged. "It's an emotionally tough situation for people because you grow up looking toward your parents for what to do and then the tables turn and you are taking care them all of a sudden."
As Blanchard looks down the road, her goal is to expand the business. "I want to continue to grow," she said. "I think there is a lot of potential (for this business in this area). I want to get the word out and help people understand that if they invest the time to set things up now it will save a heck of a lot of money later."
The Peace of Mind program, which allows people to make plans for when disaster strikes, is one that Blanchard encourages younger and older generations alike to consider.
"If something happens to you, will your mother who you take care of go to a nursing home?" Blanchard asked. "Or if you get ill, will your husband be alone and have nobody to give him his medication? Who will feed and walk the dog? These are things that are very important and you can plan for now to make it easier later."
Though there are sure to be ups and downs along the way, Blanchard said she is committed to Bridge Builders and to
Sequim. "It's tough growing a new business but I wouldn't want to do anything else. This is what I am passionate about."
Blanchard's empathetic attitude stems from her own experience of caring for her husband with multiple sclerosis for multiple years before he died.
"I've been there and done that and I know the realities from both sides," she said. "I have a history and experiences to draw from that the average person doesn't."
"You can't understand what people are going through from going to school or reading a book," she continued. "You have to live it. And I have."
Bridge Builders, Ltd. offers a
wide variety of services, including:

the dorms are pretty decent in size when compared to other campuses. the activity level in the hall can vary greatly, though. my hall has closed doors most of the…
Honestly don't know what to expect about the dorms so I will rank it in the middle. When I toured them, they weren't bad.…
The dorms have several options. There is suite style living (even for freshman!), doubles, and even triples. The rooms are large and provide everything. You can opt out of options…
The dining hall (DH) tries to change things up every now and then by having themed dinners. However, the day to day burgers, pizza, and variations of pasta and salad gets old after a while. There is also the PDen which has fast food and to-go options when you're looking to save time. In addition, there is a Starbucks in the bookstore (but it doesn't take meal points) and an Einsteins Bagels which is open late.
Read MoreThe dining hall on Furman's campus is pretty good. There are many options for different kind of eaters. The Paladen is good and is getting revamped this summer.
Read MoreThey have a dining hall and Paladin cafe. At first glance the DH is your new favorite buffet: yeah that feeling goes away quickly. Its your average Dining Hall - no one is boasting about it. The cafe is pretty good and most students like it. There are great restaurants right next to campus and downtown is barely 15 minutes away.
Read MoreThe Dinning Hall (DH) have very bland food that sometimes make me sick so I try to not eat there as much as possible. The secrete is to use your campus cash (Paladin Points) at the Furman Golf Club clubhouse. There, they have great burgers and club sandwiches and even boneless wings!
Read MoreThe dining hall is an average college cafeteria. Some days the food is really good, other days not so much. There is a wide variety of food options, so everyone can usually find something they like. However, if the DH becomes too dull, there is always the Paladen Food Court and Einstein's Bagels on campus.
Read MoreFood is ok in the dining hall (DH). The best place to go (though it's expensive) is the PalaDen (PDen) food court. The DH is the place that has some type of food for everyone. Whether you can (or like) to eat everything or you're on some dietary restriction there is usually something in the dining hall for you.
Read MoreThe food at Furman is not like many places. It offers a wide variety to suit everyone's dietary likes and habits.
Read MoreIf you're into trying it, it's great. You get to meet so many new people while giving back to the community through philanthropy events and having a blast at the functions. If going Greek isn't your style, however, there are plenty of people who aren't Greek. I have both Greek and non-Greek friends.
Read MoreGreek life is basically your social life at Furman. Well, I mean, there are the sports groups and band groups and art groups that do their own thing and love it. However, expect Greeks to dominate the social aspect of Furman. They highly encourage you to rush, and for about 90% of students (including me!) it's totally worth it. Which explains why its still so popular. Furman has some of the best fraternities and sororities that exist in the nation, and you'll never be bored once you join. That being said, don't expect a lot of crazy activities or huge parties on the weekends if you plan to avoid Greek life.
Read MoreMust do. Throws down like mad.
Read MoreAbout one third of campus goes greek here, but there is no pressure to do so. There are enough non-greeks for people to not feel left out. Rush happens at the beginning of spring semester each year. It is time consuming, but well worth it all if you get accepted into a sorority or a fraternity.
Read MoreThere are a lot of Greek sororities and fraternities on campus. I don't know a lot about them since I'm not planning to join a sorority.
Read MoreA great thing about Greek Life at Furman is you do not have to rush until January- giving students plenty of time to decide on which sorority they will consider or become a part of!
Read MoreThey're so annoying. There's so many of them and they take their rules very seriously. Girls don't hang out with other girls and guys fight over these things. If that's your thing, then this school is good for that but it's not particularly mine.
Read MoreLike I said, there are greeks, but- they aren't the typical stereotypes. Everyone gets along with everyone else. Furman is already a small school (at 3,000 students) but getting to know a smaller group of people is great also. An interesting part to Furman is when the greeks rush. Furman makes sure students are ready and situated in being alone from home. They rush in the spring instead of fall. It really is a great benefit (people are able to see all of Furman's greeks compete during homecoming).
Read Moregreek life is big, especial for guys, but not a necessity. it provides a great opportunity for networking but if you are not involved, it will not close any doors.

The African Mining Network has been established to develop and build relationships across Africa's mining community and give the world a preview of what is happening in mining in Africa.
The African Mining Network dinner will be held bi-monthly. The aim of these bi-monthly events is to provide a platform for people to network and listen to an informative and engaging speaker who will discuss the topics and issues of the day. This networking event will also open new business opportunities across all sectors of the mining industry.
Network events are held every second month starting at 6pm sharp. The next event is on Thursday, 27 March, 2014, at The Wanderers Club, 21 North Street, Illovo, Johannesburg, South Africa. The cost to attend the event is ZAR525.

Guest Speaker
Niël Pretorius
DRDGold – CEO
TOPIC: Sustainable development: how it influences strategic thinking and resource allocation
Niël Pretorius was appointed chief executive officer of DRD Gold Limited on 1 January 2009.

Neani Rambuda, Pretoria University metallurgy graduate. Selected as guest of AMN which helps promote career prospects among final year mining, metallurgy and geology students to network with the mining industry attendees at the bimonthly events
It was an honour to rub shoulders with great and successful people at the AMN event last night (13 February 2014). I met so many people who are willing to help me with employment leads and I would like to humbly extend my gratitude to you and the AMN team. No words can express my gratitude. I will also like to say many thanks to Yolanda Torrisi for allowing me such a great opportunity. The fact that she even put me in her welcoming speech meant alot to me. I really appreciate it. She has a beautiful heart. May AMN grow to be a massive networking event on other continents as well. I can humbly say that this opportunity will not be forgotten.
Tafadzwa Ralph Mugabe I – NMLC – Nyakutombwa Mugabe Legal Counsel:
It was a well-organized and pleasurable event and I look forward to the next editions in 2014.
Bonita Read, RedDot
Thank you (again) for a well put together event and the opportunity that AMN creates for us to network and meet new people in the industry. I have to say that your speaker at this event (November 2013) was the best yet! Smart, intelligent, engaging, friendly and knowledgeable… sometimes it is hard to for an audience to stay focussed every minute of the time that a speaker talks but I can tell you that Mr Norman Mbazima held everybody's attention every second of the time… and what a beautiful smile he has too. The girls at your reception desk and the waitrons that served us were awesome – friendly and polite and I hope you can pass this message on to them in some way. AMN is an event worth attending for anybody who wants to learn, share and engage with like-minded people in the industry. Hopefully I can engage more guests at the next event. My guest, Martin Rix from BCX, thoroughly appreciated it and his sentiments equal mine in terms of the speaker and the overall hospitality.
Johannesburg University student, Justice Tshivule (4th Year university student selected as guest of AMN which helps promote career prospects among final year mining and geology students to network with the mining industry attendees at the bimonthly events)
I just want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to be part of the AMN. It has been a great night (19 November 2013) and I've enjoyed myself interacting with different people and getting contacts.
Joseph Moji, Immigration Attache, Botswana High Commission:
AMN is very resourceful. I have identified a lot of companies which can do some work in Botswana. I hope to attach it as a links in my personal Facebook and Twitter accounts for my friends in Africa to have a look and register. Thank you very much
Jaco Strydom, Rockwell Automation:
Thank you very much for last night's event. It was excellent. Could you please include me in all future events.
Paul Lubbinge, Ngena DesignSpace:
These functions are a wonderful way for 'out of towners' to meet new people and make friends in the industry. We will definitely be at the next event. It was the first time that Ngena DesignSpace attended one of your functions. I met a few people who could make use of NDS's services and vice-versa. It was really worthwhile attending the function. I learned a lot from Mike Rossouw's presentation and the food was good as well.
Jerry Mtekwe, Remco Industries:
It was really worth it to attend the event. Mr Briggs was outstanding. The environment was so very accepting and what a dinner.
Ranjini Naicker, 24 Hour Spill Response:
Thank you for putting together an evening of this calibre. We look forward to being part of any future AMN functions/network events. Thank you again for hosting a successful networking event.
Craig Porter, Sedgman:
These functions are a wonderful way for 'out of towners' to meet new people and make friends in the industry. We will definitely be at the next event.
Emmanuel Mushongahande, Venetia MineI:
have been reading & following your comments on AMN for a while now & I would like to thank you for the good work you are doing, keeping us well informed on what is happening in the mining industry. Once again keep us informed.
Ingrid Verheul, Engineering Network:
I would like to thank you most sincerely for an absolutely fantastic Networking Platform. Everything was perfectly organised, and I very much look forward to the next one. The quality of companies in attendance is great!! We are looking forward to the speaker at the next dinner. Sounds awesome!! Also, the new venue is so much better and I certainly hope that the dinners will continue to be held at Wanderers.
Darren Helwick, MECS Africa:
My colleague and I attended your January evening, which was extremely worthwhile.
Dean Fenwick, Madysha Sourcing:
We attended the AMN dinner on Monday evening and were blown away by the response and business leads attained. Truly a great networking idea. Thanks so much.
Walter Egger, ER24 EMS (Pty) LTD:
"The event was definitely worth every cent! I am very pleased with our attendance. I Will be attending all of the 2011 events."
John Diviani, Balro Trading:
"Rowan and I really appreciated the function last night. A bit of nostalgia for me as the last time I was inside the Rand Club was in 1981! As first time visitors we were keen to circulate, talk shop and hand over business cards. This was achieved in the bar with great value. We could see many people were keen to meet new people but time was limited. Looking forward to the one next month. Well done and keep it going."
Jeff Barker, director Banlaw:
"I would like to congratulate The African Mining Network organisers on the great evening. I am sure this is the beginnings of something great!"
Casimiro da Silva Santos Marketing Manager Nalco Africa:
"Thanks for the lovely evening last week. The dinner was really a good opportunity to network and new people."

I love these little sugars, they brighten up my morning coffee so beautifully. They look lovely in a sugar bowl!
So I ran out of sugar and had to use this product. I felt guilty because it is so beautiful but it made great tasting coffee. Would definitely buy again.
I've purchased all of the Chambre de Sucre Gourmet Sugar options, and not only do I love the fun shapes and color options, they make my morning coffee a true delight. Additionally, my five year old thinks it's such a treat to have a little piece of sugar (I have to hide the containers from him, otherwise he'd be spinning like a top!). I'll definitely reorder these products!

"Good GPS and easy to use for few $$$"
on by RootmannPros Quick rout processing, Lots of colors schemes both day/night downloadable, IQ routes, quick rerouting, Intuitive for less computer saavy users, easy favorites entry, easy to read screnn, speed indicator, accurate arrival times/miles to go, etc.
Cons Needs screen dimmer for night, traffic doesn't always tell you it's ahead, needs more than 2GB memory for maps, touch screen can be too sensitive somtimes,
Summary A very good value if you can get it on sale for around $100 with discounts. Lots of features for the money and easy to use if you haven't had a GPS before. Small size makes it easy to store or put in your pocket for walking around use. Pretty easy to master quickly if you're not a geek. Downloadable color schemes and voices are great. Magellean 3045-TM is better, but then it's $299. Garmins more expensive units outperform it, but then for this money, this dog hunts with the best of them
"Nice GPS, large screen"
on by jr4961Pros Lifetime Maps (dont buy one without lifetime maps) ease of use
Cons Bracket mounting too thick on back and does not connect securely. Comes off the bracket when you attempt to move it in any direction. No elevation function available.
Summary Ease of use, Lifetime Maps and many POI selections.
"If I could give it ZERO Stars I would."
on by HOG66Pros Absolutely Nothing!!!
Cons Life Time Maps-every time I update it locks up & I spend 30 minutes on phone w/ cust serv & then 2hr download.
Traffic-its based on other TomTom GPS unit info & rarely useful.
Now after my 3rd Update it locks up when I hit NAV command !!!Summary I had a Garmin Nuvi model & gave that to my wife - now I'm going to buy another Garmin. Not only have I had the above problems with updating the maps, the software/interface with the map is no where near as user friendly as the the Garmin unit. This is coming from someone that is a commercial pilot & flight instructor. So I'm pretty familiar with all type of navigation devices.
"I LOVE This! It's great for beginners!"
on by drshurleyPros GPS navigation is a new experience for me. I quickly learned the basics and used unir continuously while on a 7000 mile drive which I embarked on about two weeks after receipt of the unit. I wonder how I survived so long without it!
Cons 1) I'd like to use it for geo-caching, but haven't figured out how to enter Long/Lat coordinates - no way to enter them as a destination. 2) Way points along route aren't announced when you arrive - only final destination is announced.
Summary This is a great first GPS unit. I recommend it to other newbies like myself. My work-around for the unannounced way points along route works well for me: 1) Program my final destination; 2) Change route "Travel via"; 3) Find the intermediate destination and program it; 4) Change Route>New Route>Recent Destinations; 5) Pick the interim destination as your final destination; 6) Upon reaching your that destination, re-program unit to your original destination.

Did you know? Michael Jackson originally wanted to have a close-up face-shot of himself as the album cover for "Bad". But the A-Team insisted that he drop the idea, because the after-effects from the plastic surgery could ruin the shot. This wish lingered on, which could even be seen in some Dangerous Era photo-shoots. The idea was eventually realized in "Invincible".

Fannin Battleground State Historic Site
On March 20, 1836, Col James W Fannin fought Spanish forces here at the Battle of Coleto Creek. The men were overwhelmed and surrendered. One week later most were executed at the Presidio La Bahia in nearby Goliad. The site, 9 miles east of Goliad, is quiet today. Look for the gin screw, a relic of early efforts to commemorate the battle.
