Okay everyone, the new blog is up!
the url is imagine-those-bands - I hope you guys take the time to check it out!
Okay guys, today's the day. I'm gonna make a new blog for the general bands theme, and I'll hold back on deleting this one for a while so that if you guys want to follow my new blog, you'll know where it'll be. It seems easier, since I swear I have the attention span of a goldfish and cannot focus on writing about one person for over a year. I'll keep all the Tony stories I've written on the new page (I'll make a separate page for them).
Thank you guys for your patience! I realize I've lost the interest of a few of you with my absence, but I mean what can you do.
It's cute! ^_^ I like it. Way better than my first story, haha c:
I'm sorry guys, for now I'm gonna close requests until I decide what I'm doing with this blog. If I decide to keep it as Tony imagines, I'll re-open the requests. If I do a band in general theme, I'll just change the blog from Tony to that so I don't lose all of you guys, and then I'll re-open requests
That's what I was leaning more towards I think :p
I've been thinking, and I'm seriously considering changing the theme of this blog from Tony.
I just feel like I'd have the will to write more if I changed it up a bit, you know? Because I know I've sucked at that lately.
I was thinking of changing it to a more…Bring Me the Horizon-ish theme. Or maybe even just band-guys in general?
I'm not 100% sure yet, I'm sorry if some of you aren't into that idea. I just feel like it'd make me a little more active :p
absolutely! haha
Obviously you friends can read the above, so get on it guys! jackbarakat-imagines is the blog to hit up
aw omg thank you darling x

Trucking Logistics
A U.S. appellate court panel ruled that as many as 2,300 FedEx Ground drivers in California and Oregon were employees, not independent contractors, when they worked for the package delivery company in the last decade.
Truckload operators are increasingly willing to pay more to secure the truck drivers needed to deliver trucking capacity to shipper customers.
A survey of 2,000 truck drivers by National Retail Systems showed that 79 percent listed pay as their top reason for deciding where to work.
A U.S. agency is imposing big penalties on companies that allegedly fired truck drivers for raising safety complaints, and it's not the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Shipping a container from India can cost nearly double what it costs to ship the same container from China, according to a report from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.
A coalition of trucking groups is redoubling efforts to get controversial public safety scores taken off the Internet.
An increase in U.S. manufacturing activity and imports is driving business to third-party logistics companies as shippers turn to 3PLs for freight capacity on highways and rails.
YRC Freight upgraded three terminals to distribution centers to help better manage higher freight volumes, completing a process begun in June in time for the fall peak shipping season.
A proposed rule-making on truck driver coercion that would extend U.S. regulatory authority deeper into the international supply chain and hit offenders — including motor carriers, logistics operators and shippers — with penalties of up to $11,000 per incident, is being hotly debated.
An analysis of U.S. spot market truckload rates shows truck pricing on a new trajectory since mid-2013: a line that mostly heads upward, with shallower "valleys" than in prior years.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Three central themes form the crux of Bradley Quinn's new book Textile Visionaries: technology, sustainability, and innovation. The tome chronicles the work of thirty-six designers from disparate places around the world, each of whom shares a common interest in pushing the boundaries of textile design—and, subsequently, fashion and interiors—forward.
"For fashion to survive in the future, it has got to marry itself to other cultural forms," Quinn told Style.com. One example is techno-fashion, which he calls a "dream collaboration" that speeds up the way technology can be applied, packaged, or sold. It's a subject Quinn has been researching since the nineties, a time when designers like Hussein Chalayan would go to tech fairs to see what scientific devices he could make wearable.
"Since then, a dialogue has formed in which people who are designing the techy stuff now have objectives to make technology wearable, so their products will become seamlessly integrated into our lives," Quinn explains. Below, the author highlights the top five textile visionaries of today, all of which he cites in Textile Visionaries, set to hit shelves on August 27.
Remember that twinkling gown Katy Perry wore to the Met ball back in 2010? We have CuteCircut to thank for that. "In ten years time, they've really evolved their craft," Quinn says of the CuteCircuit team, which comprises Italian designer Francesca Rosella and engineer Ryan Genz. Based in London, the duo combines diaphanous textiles and LED technology at a fiber level to create pulsating dresses that can trigger lighting sequences, videos, and more.
Skin Graph
Fashion designer Laura Michaels and partner Karl Kjelstrup-Johnson, an architect, use imaging technology (like motion capture and 3D scanning) to create custom-made garments that factor in movement and posturing. The laser-cut leather and fabric clothes that result suit each individual's unique contours. "Skin Graph's clothing fits the wearer as well as any other tailor-made garment would, and has the advantage of moving with the body as though it is a second skin," writes Quinn.
Dava Newman
"Newman was able to realize that within textiles, there's huge potential for compassionate applications that can help change individuals' lives," Quinn explained. As a pioneer of the compressed BioSuit for NASA, the astrophysicist at MIT has adapted aerospace materials as "second skin" to be applied to individuals with specific diseases, such as cerebral palsy.
Aurélie Mossé
Having studied at both Central Saint Martins and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, this French designer aims to change the application of interior textiles from fixed, immovable structures to something more sentient and fluid. She uses a wide range of fibers that form, shift, and meld with natural phenomena, like sunlight. "Mossé is also able to bring her fabrics back to the starting point," offered Quinn—and this, he says, is a key characteristic in textile innovation.
Stretchable Circuits
"The Stretchable Circuits guys in Berlin [technologist Christian Dils, engineer René Vieroth, physicist Thomas Loeher, and engineer Manuel Seckel] are improving the standard of stretchable electronic systems and perfecting them," Quinn told us of the brand, whose work is pictured above. "They can now be better integrated into fashion fabrics or even submerged in water."

The good news is, that according to reporting from Donna Ditota, at Syracuse.com, Chris McCullough has the classroom grades that he needs to meet NCAA requirements, and that the lapse in time between him leaving his former prep school and landing at IMG did not hurt him in that regard.
While not really bad news, the iffy part of the equation is, that according to the reporting, he doesn't seem to have the SAT score he needs yet, having just taken it ( again?) a few weeks ago, and is preparing to take it again for "precautionary purposes." Lets hope he took the prep course.
My fear here is that even if he gets the SAT score, the NCAA Clearinghouse jams him up, like they have done to so many others, and he sits in limbo for a long period. Three schools in 3 or 4 years, plus a transfer mid semester is bound to raise those red flags and bring out the fine tooth combs by the NCAA.

The Sustainable Agriculture program is flexible, and designed to meet the needs of agriculture by equipping students with the necessary skills to balance the natural resource, human and economic factors that affect agricultural sustainability.
The Sustainable Agriculture program brings together studies in the three key domains of sustainability: agricultural and natural systems; agribusiness; and the humanities. Through the development of creative and critical perspectives on sustainability, the courses focus on innovative ways of enhancing agriculture for the medium to long term. Graduates are equipped to provide leadership in policy, research and strategic management that is relevant to a wide range of industry contexts.
The program allows students to complete the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Master degree and then receive credit into CSU's Doctor of Sustainable Agriculture when entry requirements are met. The course can be studied full-time at Orange Campus or by distance education.
The aim of Graduate Certificate of Sustainable Agriculture is to provide a graduate qualification in sustainable agriculture which will meet the vocational and professional requirements of students. It aims to develop further understanding of topic areas undertaken in a prior qualification, or develop new understanding in areas to broaden the knowledge of students.
The Graduate Diploma in Sustainable Agriculture is designed to meet two needs:
The Master of Sustainable Agriculture aims to promote advanced, critical reflection by:
For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.
Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.
Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).
Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.

"Round Goes the Gossip" is a jazz fusion piece with a centre section featuring Thijs van Leer singing an extract from Virgil's Aeneid (printed on the back of the album in Latin and English; the topic: rumour). "Love remembered" is a classical guitar ballad by Jan Akkerman with van Leer on flute, eventually backed by the rest of the band towards the song's conclusion. "Sylvia" is a pop song written with Baroque classical harmony and counterpoint, and performed with rock arrangements. "Carnival Fugue" borrows from J. S. Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier" before venturing into cool jazz territory, then culminates in a rock finale with piccolo improvisations and a hint of Calypso rhythms on guitar. "Focus III", another classical song with rock arrangements, contrasts slow, minor key verses with lively, major key choruses (with a few uncredited measures from Petula Clark's "Don't Sleep in the Subway"), before a segue into jazz fusion with "Answers? Questions! Questions? Answers!", featuring extended solos on flute and guitar. "Anonymous II" is a classical theme performed in a jazz rock context with each member of the band soloing at different points. "Elspeth of Nottingham" is a reworking of Jan Akkerman's "Minstrel/Farmer's Dance" from his Profile LP, evoking the British countryside of the Renaissance with lute, recorder, and animal sounds (the chirping of birds, the lowing of cows).
Downbeat magazine awarded "Focus III" five stars (their top rating) in 1972, citing it to be "a sincere, emotional mixture of classical, jazz, and rock."
- Thijs van Leer – keyboards, flute, piccolo, recorder, vocals
- Jan Akkerman – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, lute
- Bert Ruiter – bass guitar
- Pierre van der Linden – drums

No man, RSLG is all about sweeping fast, so it's a good idea to make an all sweeper team rather than an all defensive team
Trait: Synchronize
- Mean Look
- Confuse Ray
- Toxic
- Moonlight
Talking about tough pokemons....you just cannot miss the classic trapper
Yes, but NOT as a starter. Attach Leftovers/Lum Berry. Substitute over something, maybe MLook
Trait: Overgrow
- Frenzy Plant
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder (how about Leech Seed/Giga Drain?)
- Synthesis
Venusaur has good stats and come with a natural healing move. On top of it, Frenzy Plant gives Venusaur a powerful attack instead of the Sunny Day + Solarbeam combo. I don't know if Sleep Powder is such a good idea though, would like to know your suggestions
This is no defensive mon... Anyway, Leech Seed, Substitute, Synthesis, Giga Drain/Bomb
Trait: Water Absorb
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Haze
- Wish
Okay okay I promise that you won't see another eeveeation here. Vaporeon just fit so well into my team. Hazer, high HP and wish (which I believe can be passed to Vaporeon by egg moves) to make the best use of it.
Protect over Ice Beam. Attach Leftovers btw
Trait: Early Bird
- Return
- Brick Break
- Shadow Ball
- Rest
Yep I picked Kangaskhan over the oober Snorlax. Kangaskhan has high HP to make the best use of its Early Bird + Rest combo. Perhaps it's not a bad idea to replace one attack with a stat-boosting move, but I like the variety of attack types....
Swords Dance(or whatever) over SBall, sub over Rest and attach Leftovers. I'm not fond of Rest whatsoever in RS
Trait: Insomnia
- Psychic
- Fire Punch
- Reflect
- Light Screen
Toxic, Attract(Female), Calm Mind/Counter, Psychic/Frustration. Attach Leftovers.
I believe that pseudopasser work well with my team. Hypno gets my vote because it is a psychic. It help to cover my weakness against fighters (Umbreon, Kangaskhan) and destroy brick-breakers if it is a fighting pokemon. Hypno also has good HP and defence.
Now question time: what do you think about my team? And which pokemon would you suggest for the final slot?
Dragonite, Crobat, Tyranitar...I just cannot make up my mind.
Thanks in advance ^_^
Last slot: CRADILY(My 1337 annoyer/tank/killer)
Rock Slide
Confuse Ray
@ Leftovers
EV train max defense and spc.def, remaining goes to HP. gg everybody, i killed many mons with this.

Tweaked her story a bit, gave her shortened lore and a League Judgment.
Not even worried about it. Take your time. :]
Tweaked Ella a bit and fitted her with my new format.
If I don't work on the sketch some this weekend, I give you permission to stab me. :-P
We'll call it a stress relieving exercise. xP Though that won't be necessary. As I said before, take your time. Ol' Ella isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Love it! Really well made.....
But her passive. It's a little steep. It takes really long to charge up, but if you count minion attacks, then it will charge uber fast! I recommend making it much less, maybe like 5 charges, and specify that it doesn't proc with minion hits. And also, 40% bonus armor and magic resist would make her extremely tankey. If you lower the charges, I would keep the armor and magic resistance bonus at 4% so she only gets 20% bonus magic resist and armor.
Also, would you please do me the honor of reviewing my champion concept, Terrowyn the Soul Whisperer? http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...7#post32481947

Article: A Formal Performance Tuning Methodology: Wait-Based Tuning
In this article, Steven Haines talks about web application performance tuning which used to be more of an art than science. He proposes a method called wait-based tuning, making the entire process more measurable and, consequently, more scientific.
Read: A Formal Performance Tuning Methodology: Wait-Based Tuning
Steven explains why web application performance tuning is difficult to perform. A client request may go through several tiers suffering delays at different levels before a response is returned:
Input can come in the form of an HTML browser, a thick client, a mobile device, or a web service, which can pass through servlets running in one of a dozen different architectures or a portal container, that in turn may call enterprise beans, external web services, or delegate processing to a business rules engine. Each of these components may then interact with a content management system, a caching layer, a plethora of databases, and legacy systems.
The complexity of tuning today's web applications can be addressed by analyzing the architecture of the application and defining a series of wait-points marking the path traversed by a client request until it becomes a response that reaches back to the client. There are 2 types of wait-points, according to Steven:
- tier-based, marking the transition between tiers
- technology-based, mostly related to the usage of underneath infrastructure
Steven says that having "a set of wait-points identified, the tuning process is implemented by opening all tier-based wait-points and external dependency pools, generating balanced and representative load against the application, and tuning backwards, or tightening wait-points to maximize the performance of a request's weakest link, but without saturating it."

Editor's note: Dr. Jack Blanton is professor emeritus at the Skidaway Island Institute of Oceanography in Savannah. He has researched physical oceanography for more than 40 years. For that reason, we invited him to answer questions regarding the Liberty County Development Authority's proposed wastewater treatment facility. Here are our questions and his replies.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.
I'll hand it to you, Liberty County - you sure know how to make a person feel welcome. And, apparently, you've decided the old adage holds true: The way to an editor's heart is through her stomach, which is just fine with me. Heck, if I'd known our readers and sources were going to invite me to so many functions featuring delicious meals, I'd have tried for my recent promotion even sooner.
A majority of the House of Representatives voted this week to approve a $17.8 billion state budget for fiscal year 2011. I was among the 52 House members voting against the spending plan because it is a continuation of the misguided priorities and fiscal irresponsibility that have plagued Georgia for the last eight years.
Every year, millions of Georgia drivers engage in a behavior almost as risky as texting or talking on their cell phones. And they may not even know it -- until it's too late.
As we all commit to helping our youth, we find that encouragement is needed at all levels of development, starting at home, in the schools and the community. I will engage on the second of the three-legged stool as it relates to the importance of our educational system. That is commitment.
Bob Ryan, noted sports columnist for the Boston Globe recently ripped the National Collegiate Athletic Association for considering University of Georgia president Michael Adams as CEO of that organization to succeed the late Myles Brand, saying it would be a "colossal mistake." The NCAA search is being conducted by Parker Executive Search of Atlanta, the same firm that recommended Adams for the UGA job.
The Easter bunny was good to Georgia last week as he brought us the news that March revenue collections were up from a year ago, marking the first monthly increase in revenues since November of 2008.
Most of the hoopla about off-shore drilling is born from an absence of the facts, or political posturing. For example, Florida bristles at offshore drilling. It's political positioning and nothing more. They already have a plan for a pipeline to connect them directly with inshore drilling platforms suggested for adjoining states along the Gulf Coast. A perfect example of the "not in my back yard" mindset. It's a way to get the oil and the votes at the same time.
Years of research by the Georgia Public Policy Foundation have yielded a sad truth: If free market academics are few and far between in Georgia, free market economists have been scarcer than hen's teeth.
If you haven't seen the Discovery Channel documentary "Life," it's worth a watch.
A bill currently before the Georgia Legislature that would require testing potential drivers in English only is fanning flames on both sides of the always-heated immigration debate. However, the proposed requirement should have nothing to do with racial discrimination - as some opponents claim - and everything to do with safety.
This year, the federal government is conducting the 2010 Census. The Census is a count of everyone residing in the United States. All U.S. residents must be counted, including citizens and non-citizens.
For more than a year, federal efforts at reforming the nation's health insurance system have been controversial to say the least. Now that the president has signed health reform into law, the partisan debate should come to an end.
While reading a recent report from the U.S. Conference of Mayors, I found a statement regarding school reform that provides advice about the importance of our educational system. It notes that "If schools don't work, the city does not work."
Nostalgia is popular these days: Retro fashions, disco and '80s pop, "Throwback Thursdays" on social media. What's old is new again, what used to be hip turned square and then back to cool.
For many environmental organizations in Georgia, Earth Day will never be the same.
Editor, My hat goes off to the Tri County RC Flyers for their recent airshow and the thousands of dollars they raised for wounded veterans. Unfortunately, the Courier's story contained a description of the Wounded Warrior Project organization that was misleading and is inaccurate. It read "… which helps veterans wounded in conflict…"
Editor, My wife went grocery shopping the morning of Aug. 21 with our 2-year-old son. While shopping, she bumped into another shopper along the way several times and made small talk. My son started to get bored and upset, so my wife cut her trip short and headed to the checkout.
It is a potential killer whose numbers rival the deadly Ebola virus and it doesn't get near the attention it should. Unlike the dreaded illness currently ravaging West Africa this is one with a quick cure.
I am fascinated by how other countries approach recycling. I recently visited a website called Recycle More from Ireland. Their approach, like so many European countries, is detailed. They expect their citizens to make the effort to recycle as many items as possible. And they certainly don't limit their recycling to plastic bottles and aluminum cans. There is no one-stop drop-off for many items. If you are Irish, you take electronics back to electronic shops, batteries to shops that sell them, etc.
As an unusually mild, rainy summer was melting away - or rather, frosting its way into autumn - I took to noticing signs that our mountain people always have used to judge the forthcoming severity of winter.
Football season is upon us. I'm sure some of you are thrilled about its arrival. I am not.
We are constantly reminded that the world is a very deadly place - not just for our military personnel - but also for members of the Fourth Estate. Some journalists working in dangerous regions in a globe full of conflict will not return home. The latest: 40-year-old James Foley. His gruesome death at the hands of ISIS has been available for all to see.
The regional transportation sales-tax referendum failed two years ago across most of Georgia. So it's encouraging to see movement again, in the form of a joint study committee on transportation funding that met Aug. 5 for the first of seven meetings around the state before the legislative session.
Editor, I would like to respond to the Long County audit for the year ending June 30, 2013, which is - needless to say - a joke.

Editor, I lost a friend last week. I lost a longtime coworker. I lost an Army comrade, though we never served together nor did we share "war stories." And Liberty County lost someone who was a loyal, extremely dedicated and tireless worker until his "untriumphant" retirement last year.
A while back, a messy problem loomed ahead. I don't like confrontation. If that makes me less than a person then consider me to be itty bitty. Life, I figure, is too short for squabbling. My motto is "whenever possible, step out of the way."
My 2-year-old daughter, Reese, adores the Disney movie, "Frozen." I admit, it's a cute flick with plenty of catchy tunes and even a few good one-liners. There's one part, however, that I'm having trouble explaining to Reese, and I fear I'll have even more difficulty with it as she gets older.

Timewatch: Pyramid ~ The Last Secret Pt.1/5

Timewatch: Pyramid - The Last Secret (March, 2009)
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis, next to modern-day Cairo, Egypt. It is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and was the tallest man-made structure on the planet for over 3,800 years, until the 160 meter tall spire of Lincoln Cathedral was completed in England in c. 1300.
Most egyptological authorities believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb for Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. The pyramid is composed of over 2.3 million stone blocks averaging 2.5 tonnes, the heaviest being between 50 and 80 tonnes. With a base covering 13 acres, a volume of 2.5 million cubic meters, a weight of 5.9 million tonnes, and a height of 138.8 meters (originally 146.6 meters), the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza is estimated to have taken up to 20 years, concluding around 2560 BC. Based on these estimates, approximately 800 tonnes of stone must have been installed every day.
Just how could such a major feat have been achieved at that time? And in particular, how could such large stones have been raised so high without modern technology? Archaeologists have been wrestling with this question for centuries.
It has been surmised that the stones were quarried from the eastern side of the Nile, shaped with stone and copper tools, and floated across the Nile to the construction site on barges, before being either lifted with cranes to the top of the pyramid or slid to the top on wooden sleds up temporary ramps. However, these theories are not very convincing.
The problem with the crane idea is that the shape of the side of the pyramid would not have presented enough space to use the cranes. And the problem with the ramp idea is that the topology of the plateau on which the pyramid is built would have only allowed a single ramp to be built on the south side of the pyramid. This ramp would have had to be a mile long, requiring as much labour to construct as the pyramid itself.
Another theory also includes a ramp, but one which coils up and around the pyramid. The problem with this theory is that such a ramp would have caused all kinds of problems associated with the obscuration of sight lines essential in the pyramid's accuracy. So how, then, were the stone blocks raised?
Presented by Bob Brier, a popular egyptologist from Long Island University, this documentary from the BBC's long-running "Timewatch" series presents a radical new theory proposed by a French architect, Jean-Pierre Houdin. According to Houdin, the blocks were raised via an internal ramp. This ramp is still inside the pyramid waiting to be discovered. If correct, Houdin's discovery will be the most significant in Archaeology since Tutankhamun.

The documentary, along with the description, just shows how biased and linear archaeologists and historians can be. They are all to happy to study and debunk conventional theory simply to impress their own. Yet there is the problem, it is all theory and no substance, so how they can confidently say that 'So and so' is how it went is purely unscientific. Then in the description, saying that the Pyramid of Khufu was the tallest structure for nearly 4,000 yrs is completely wrong. Obvisouly they have never studied the Chinese pyramids nor the Bosnian pyramids either. And do they actually claim that they quarried granite with copper tools?! Granite has a hardness factor of 6 out 6, Copper has 3. Its like trying to cut your t-bone steak with marshmellows... Good luck! :p Although i havent watched all the parts, im guessing they failed to also consider the quarter of an inch alignment error of the cap stone's point. Seeing as they placed nearly 2 and a half million stones and acheieved such a miniscule error, this is a huge factor in solving how exactly the stones were placed. Okay, im done ranting! :p

Zuma set for grand inauguration
Article By: Linda EnsorWed, 19 Mar 2014 9:21 AM
The inauguration ceremony for South Africa's next president - which the ruling African National Congress has already decided will be Jacob Zuma - is going to be a grand affair with almost twice as many foreign heads of state and dignitaries in attendance than at his previous inauguration in 2009.
Last time, provision was made for 20 heads of state to attend, with the government bearing the cost of luxury accommodation, travel and all the associated diplomatic and protocol services. For the upcoming event, the Department of International Relations and Co-operation plans on having about 40 heads of state in South Africa.
The doubling of the number of foreign presidents and prime ministers expected to attend explained the increase in the cost, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said yesterday.
Democratic Alliance finance spokesperson Tim Harris criticised this "extravagance" at a time when "ordinary South Africans are struggling … and the government is battling to get a rising debt burden under control".
The government has budgeted about R120m for the presidential inauguration. A provision of R80m was made in the department's 2014-15 budget and R67.7m was allocated for state functions in the Department of Public Works' budget. The latter was a 150% rise over the 2013-14 allocation of R27m' mainly due to the inauguration.
According to Mr Harris' the previous presidential inaugurations of former president Thabo Mbeki and Mr Zuma were estimated to have cost R75m. The cost of this year's inauguration is a 60% increase.
"The increase in expenditure from the 2009 presidential inauguration provides for an increase in the number of foreign dignitaries' heads of state and governments expected to attend the 2014 presidential inauguration' which also coincides with the commemorative programme of government to mark the 20 years of South Africa's democracy'" Mr Gordhan said in a written reply to a parliamentary question by Mr Harris.
The additional costs related mainly to accommodation' travel and subsistence arrangements as well as all the logistical arrangements such as diplomatic and protocol services.
In reply to another question by Mr Harris on whether the Treasury would take action against ministers and provincial MECs who failed to adhere to the belt-tightening measures he announced during his speech on the medium-term budget policy statement in October last year' Mr Gordhan said that the Treasury did not have the power to act against these people.
According to the constitution' members of the Cabinet were individually and collectively accountable to Parliament and MECs to provincial legislatures.
The Treasury instruction issued in December on cost containment measures related to the engagement of consultants' travel and subsistence' and catering and events and the Treasury would monitor its implementation.
Questioned by Mr Harris as to whether the measures allowed for the expenditure of R1.3m on a luxury vehicle — purchased by North West Premier Thandi Modise — Mr Gordhan said the rules governing the purchase of motor vehicles for executive authorities were contained in the ministerial handbook' which was administered by the Department of Public Service and Administration.
"The measures announced by the Treasury therefore do not include the purchasing of motor vehicles for executive authorities.
"Processes are currently under way at the Department of Public Service and Administration to amend the ministerial handbook to address limitations regarding the purchases of vehicles'" Mr Gordhan said.
Mr Harris noted' however' that South Africans had been waiting for this update for more than four years and warned that "until this promise is fulfilled they will not be convinced that national government leaders are personally committed to belt-tightening".

Arizona utility tapping into solar energy to cool off customers
PHOENIX -- For the first time, Arizona Public Service said solar energy will be used to help meet peak customer summer demand.
Brad Albert, general manager of resource management with APS, said the Solana Generating Station that came online in October was capable of powering 80,000 homes.
"The unique thing about Solana is that it incorporates energy storage into the plant's design, which means it can produce or continue to produce at full power output levels when our customers need it the most," Albert said.
Power consumption peaks in July and August.
"The monsoon keeps the night time temperatures higher on the hotter peak time days. We'll see lows of 95 on the peak days. That's misery," Albert said.

RUGBY UNION: Blewitt's brace earns Chinnor vital win
9:00am Tuesday 11th March 2014 in Rugby By Ed Mezzetti, Sports reporter specialising in Rugby, Cricket and Athletics. Call me on 01865 425456
CHINNOR hauled themselves out of the relegation zone with a 28-20 victory over Launceston at Kingsey Road.
Two outstanding individual tries from wing George Blewitt made the difference as Chinnor leapfrogged their Cornish visitors into 12th place.
The hosts trailed 20-18 at half-time, but controlled the territory after the break and should probably have won by more.
Launceston, who are known as the Cornish All Blacks, made all the early running, taking the lead with a penalty from full back Kieron Lewitt.
They created a simple overlap for Lewitt to touch down on the left after eight minutes, with the same player's conversion making it 10-0.
Chinnor replied on 13 minutes with a try full of flair as fly half Will Millet raced clear to score after combining well with centre Matt Goode.
Millett converted this and added two penalties as his side seized control.
Blewitt showed great acceleration and then strength to stretch across for his first try on the halfhour mark.
Just when it looked like the pendulum had swung decisively, Launceston finished the half the stronger.
Lewitt slotted a penalty before converting a try from fly half Jake Murphy, whose dummy was well executed to take advantage of a ponderous defence.
Chinnor had the wind behind them after the break, but needed some great opportunism to take the lead on 42 minutes.
Blewitt seized on a Launceston knock on to hoof down field and then out sprinted the visiting defence to claim his second try.
Millett converted for 25-20, but Blewitt was later forced off with an ankle injury he sustained in the first half.
Chinnor had far more of the territory after this, but could not add to their tally, so it remained a nervy affair.
Centre Ryan Westren and Murphy went close for Launceston, while Chinnor's line-out continued to misfire.
It was therefore doubly surprising that they spurned at least two kickable penalty chances to kick for the corner.
But the decisive blow came when Millett slotted a three-pointer late on.
Chinnor: Mountford, G Blewitt (Barnes 56), Goode, Hayes, Fiedling, Millett, Jones, Cano, Townsend (Vickers 75), Pickett (Winpenny 71), James-Nicholls (Tibbatts 36), Gilbert (capt), Betts, Aiono (Kruzychi 63), Jope.
Referee: R Smith (Midlands).
Man-of-the-match: G Blewitt.

Minion Dave may be little but he is certainly opinionated. And his latest stance? To support England in the 2014 World Cup! Well, I told him I'm still quite undecided. While England may have some of the world's best players in terms of skill, tenacity and football intelligence, the trophy has always eluded them for one reason or another. Plus, I wouldn't consider them the underdog that I prefer to direct my cheers to. But Dave managed to convince my brainless nails otherwise and they're now happily decked out in full support gear for the England team with the NCLA nail wraps! Brainless as they are, I think they look quite chic. HA.

Honeybee Gardens nail polish remover and nail polish
A couple of times now, I've added products from Honeybee Gardens to my shopping cart at iHerb only to remove them at the last minute. I don't really know why but let's just say the brand doesn't compel me to want to part with my dough. But given my reignited interest in water-based nail polish and the fact that I've run out of my acetone-free nail polish remover, I thought I'll just start out with these two items from the brand first.
Nail it right with 10 benefits of water-based nail polishes
Many people tell me that they don't know how to paint their own nails. Well, I can totally empathize because I was once like them. I can manage toenails no problem but when it comes to my fingernails, I often need the help of the professionals. Somehow, painting my fingernails always turns out a mess especially for those on my right hand. But you know what? Increasingly, I'm finding it a breeze to apply nail polish on my fingernails. Yessiree I've finally nailed it right and it's all thanks to water-based nail polishes! So if you're still a rookie when it comes to applying nail polish, read on and find out why water-based nail polishes may just be the thing you need.
Sparitual Spring 2013 Nail Lacquer Collection
If you're into candy sweet, pastel shades, then you'll definitely love the feminine hues of the Meditate Spring 2013 lacquer collection from Sparitual. I usually prefer dark colors but I have to say these are pretty! These are not natural (anyway, not possible for nail polishes to be so) but I was glad to know that Sparitual nail lacquers are 4-free, which means they do not contain DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, and Formaldehyde Resin. In addition, they are said to be 100% vegan.

Campbell's Agway True Value30 Garland Rd, Winslow, ME 04901
(207) 872-7039
2009 marks the 37th year of business for Campbell's Companies. Our story below shares various landmarks along our journey to build an enduring company. The story starts in 1972 when Val Roy, a local meat cutter, offers to buy Campbell's Farm & Feed Store in Madison taking ownership on April 2. 1976 Campbell's Farm & Feed expands into hardware and takes on the True Value brand identity, incorporating as Campbell's True Value. 1981 Campbell's True Value builds a new facility and relocates to Main Street in Madison. 1984 Val Roy buys Hilltop Lumber Company of Anson, Maine to compliment the hardware store and to expand his business. 1988 Hilltop Lumber Company becomes known as Campbell's Building Supply and is relocated to a custom built facility on Route 148 in Madison. Campbell's Building Supply expands to a 10,000 square foot facility and begins acquiring a fleet of delivery trucks to grow the business. 1989 Campbell's becomes computerized, signing on with True Value's nation-wide specialty software company, Triad. This state-of-the-art technology allows Campbell's to order product electronically as well as track sales by department and class. A revolution in this "mom & pop" hardware business has begun. Campbell's employs nine Associates. 1993 Just Ask Rental, a division of True Value, is added to Campbell's Building Supply to increase incremental contractor sales. 1994 Campbell's begins looking to create diversity in the business and creates a subsidiary known as Val-U-Energy. Val-U-Energy begins with the purchase of a propane gas delivery truck for residential and commercial fuel delivery. 1996 Campbell's True Value acquires Fairfield True Value of Fairfield. 1998 Val-U-Energy expands through the acquisition of a local heating oil delivery business, Mattingly Oil of Anson, Maine. This one-truck operation doubles the sales of Val-U-Energy and sets the course for a whole new business for Campbell's. Campbell's employs twenty-one Associates. 1999 Campbell's requires additional management resources and brings in a Director of Operations, Brent Burger to oversee global management of the organization. Campbell's True Value is remodeled and expanded by an additional 3,000 square feet. 2000 Agway, Inc. decides to divest from its company-owned retail stores in the Northeast. Val Roy & Brent Burger create Burger-Roy, Inc, and buy the operations and real estate of three Agway stores in Central Maine. Val & Brent become partners in Campbell's Companies. Combined companies employ forty-nine Associates. 2001 Campbell's closes its Fairfield store due to declining sales, and increased expenses. These resources are applied to the further expansion of better performing stores. The Company's computer system is upgraded and radio-frequency scanners are introduced. 2002 Burger-Roy, Inc. begins the expansion of Skowhegan Agway to add a Just Ask Rental Store and the remodel of Campbell's Building Supply. Combined companies employ fifty-eight Associates. 2004 Agway in Winslow breaks ground for an expansion to 14,000 sq. ft. to accommodate a True Value hardware store. True Value Rewards is launched in a new era of marketing. 2005 Val-U-Energy adds a 30,000-gallon bulk propane storage facility and a second propane delivery truck. Combined companies employ sixty-three Associates. 2006 Skowhegan adds a 1,000 sq. ft. addition to expand Pet and Rental. Winslow installs an 800 sq. ft. Gift Department. Campbell's Building Supply remodels with a new kitchen display area and all-new office space for Val-U-Energy. 2007 Campbell's Companies installs its own internal computer communications server. Farmingdale Agway is expanded to 10,000 square feet and takes on the True Value brand. Brent Burger is elected to True Value Company's Board of Directors. Thirty-seven years of hard work, of dedicated and loyal Associates, with a tremendously supportive customer base has brought us to today.

"A vast amount of doors open when you learn a foreign language."
That was the message during the Foundation for Saline Area Schools (FSAS) Building a Foundation Breakfast on Tuesday. During the event FSAS introduced the community to a strategic grant initiative in support of Love of Language curriculum.
FSAS aims to raise $75,000 to help Saline Area Schools kick start the program, which will begin to introduce kindergarten students to foreign language in the next school year.
FSAS asked for the community's support in preparing students for the 21st century.
"As good stewards for our district, and to maintain our tradition, we ask that you help innovate and inspire," said FSAS President Cheryl Hoeft.
Many other countries require students to take foreign language and also start instruction while students are young. By introducing students early, the district hopes students will be fluent in a second language by sixth grade.
Students dubbed "Stars" were among the guests of honor during the informational event. Each of the tables at the breakfast was assigned a student who told their story in languages like Spanish, French and German.
Many of the students have spoken a foreign language since seventh grade when the class was first available. Several students agreed that learning a foreign language helped them in a variety of ways from traveling to learning better English.
Alex Konwinski, a Spanish speaking senior, said it made him feel good when he traveled to Mexico and was able to understand conversation, or read a sign.
"It has definitely given me confidence," he said. "I know I will be able to use it in the future, and it will be an asset to my career."
Businessman and trustee Dave Holden told Konwinski he is absolutely correct that foreign language will further his career.
"We seek individuals like you," Holden said.
Konwinski also acknowledged that students in other countries learn English at such a young age, and that they become unbelievable proficient.
By introducing students early, the district hopes students will be fluent in a second language by sixth grade.
Many other countries require students to take foreign language and begin instruction while students are young. Breakfast speakers emphasized foreign language is important in the curriculum to keep up with the rest of the world.
"We need to embrace our world, said FSAS Trustee Pam Dahlmann.
Konwinski said since foreign language is learned so early in other countries in return, he feels Americans have a duty to communicate with other cultures in their language as they do in ours.
Alexa Ross agrees with Konwinski. The French speaking Saline senior said U.S students should learn a foreign language when they are young like students in other countries do. She gave an example of a correspondent student she knows who came to U.S. "I was just amazed," she said. "She speaks three languages."
Ross said it's normal in most parts of the world to speak multiple languages. She added that learning a foreign language enriches experiences like traveling abroad.
Emily Lau speaks Spanish and said she is amazed at how much her foreign language skills have helped her though her journey as a missionary.
"I went to build houses and was able to talk to the children," she said. "I talked to them and entertained them."
Several students agreed that not only can you speak to and entertain others in foreign tongue, you can also entertain yourself.
"It's like a hobby," said Patrick Zetterholm.
A French speaker, the senior studies as much as he can and immerses himself in the language by reading and watching movies. He thinks his language skills are strengthened too because his teacher insists on only speaking French in class.
For some students learning another language has made them better at English.
Marc Barbbet has spoken German since 8th grade. He said learning a foreign language has helped him with English sentence structure.
"As you learn another language, you also talk about English and how the languages differ," he said.
All of the students said they see a bright future for Saline students who will have the opportunity to learn another language, and they hope the community can help.
"I am excited about what our community can accomplish," said Hoeft. "We have the power to support our stars in their pursuits of their star status."
Since 2009 several initiatives have been funded with the help of FSAS including Kids Who Read Succeed, Project Lead the Way and Heritage Laptop Project.

I'm probably the only person on this site who doesn't think that the majority of the Leafs problems lie behind the bench. I have tried to defend Carlyle in the past by suggesting that the Leafs poor possession numbers are a result of a) bad plays (poor decision making) and b) an inability to win battles. I'm not going to suggest that Carlyle's system helps possession, but I don't think it's the primary reason why we're dead last in the league in Corsi.
To help prove that I decided to watch a random game, ideally one where we were massively out-possessed and write down every single time we turned the puck over. In the interests of saving my fingers and my sanity, I decided to only count the times where we had clear possession of the puck (i.e. not in a 50/50 battle). Any play that resulted in us no longer having possession of the puck was then placed into one of three buckets: a) bad plays (player's fault) b) bad system (turning the puck over for no apparent reason) c) just hockey plays (no team can keep the puck 100% of the time and stuff happens in the game).
I have the "raw" data available in an excel file for anyone who wants to see it. I was thinking of doing fancier stuff with it (like types of plays by period etc) but I realized the whole thing was moot, so I will just share my results. One caveat before I do: I tried my best. Every play is open to interpretation and I may have missed one or two, or given credit to the wrong guy, and I know one game is one game and it's a small sample size.
- Bad Plays: 25
- Bad System: 8
- Hockey: 113
Watching the game this way (pausing and rewinding and watching every single giveaway) made certain things really stand out for me though:
- Jonathan Bernier played an awesome game
- Paul Ranger also played a good game
- The Kessel/JvR/Bozak line make a lot of risky plays. A lot of them don't work out, but we only seem to remember the ones that do. Bozak/JVR/Kessel were responsible for over half of the bad plays. JvR had an off night in particular.
- The Leafs absolutely do not win one one one battles in their own end. They are also really slow to the puck in their own end. You could argue this is system based, but I just don't see a coach deliberately allowing the other team to get a puck when it could be your puck or a 50/50 puck.
- It occurred to me that Dion Phaneuf's ice time being relatively high on some nights may have a lot to do with him getting caught out on long shifts. It would be interesting to know if his shift length is much greater than average, but I'm currently too lazy to check.
- Lupul/Kadri/Kulemin actually won some battles and looked like a decent line despite not getting rewarded for their effort.
|Misses a short pass from Gardiner
|Assuming this is system, flicks the puck high - may have been trying alley-oop pass
|Had trouble handling a bad pass from Van Riemsdyk
|Weak shot on net
|Tries to skate it up ice, loses a battle
|Tries to pass off the boards, gets it too high and is intercepted - does not clear the zone
|Had possession, attempted short pass to Raymond, lost the subsequent battle
|Had body position and the puck, stick lifted and fell down
|Tries a flip pass to JvR similar to earlier Gleason one, JvR draws a penalty

That would be Michael Henderson, who was suspended for poor officiating in the past, and for whom the NBA Referees Union organized a mass-protest in the past. He's now out of the union and free to do as he likes, but in taking work with the NBA, he's undercutting a group of people that were publicly and loudly loyal to him in the past. Way to return the favor there, Mike.

Number of ratings 25 / Average Grade: A Submit a correction
Took his summer class after hearing a lot of bad things from previous batch but fortunately most of it was not true. Very friendly approach while teaching and encourages to ask questions. Gives lot of his real world examples. Can get a bit stingy in some cases but that's acceptable.
He is one of the worst professors I have ever met, this guy is stubborn and is not really approachable outside the class. His tests are confusing and gets angry on small things and also hold grudges. " NOT RECOMMENDED AT ANY COST"
I found the class interesting as well as the surprise quiz helpful. This makes to study before coming to the class. Make you aware of the subject. Nice class to take if you want to really learn. Do the assignment with all your understanding, do not just follow the step without any clarity. Go through the book, slides, and then do the assignment.
One of the most arrogant and annoying professors I have ever come across. There is no clarity in his teaching. All useless assignments which keeps you busy all the time. His exams are very hard. He always troubles the students. Holds grudges. Suggesting not to take any course under him. Many students feel the same!
mis 6309
worst professor i've ever taken a class under. Everything about him is wrong and annoying.
MIS Data wareho
Horrible. Pretty useless and condescending. Pawns everything off to TAs who have the misfortune of being his TAs. Get this guy out of UTD
Data warehouse
One useless professor. No sense about how to talk to students. Gets angry on pity things. Will hold grudges. Basically very immature and useless prof.
He's very boring to follow in class. He is also very sneaky. He did not require attendance for the class, but made a pop quiz and that counts for 3.5% of the final grade, which was not mentioned in the syllabus. Reviews for tests are not helpful at all. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.
This professor is super boring. He just go through powerpoint slides that has information from the textbook in an extremely boring way. Test is super hard and you need to read every page of the book. NOT RECOMMENDED.
He is too over-rated. Thought of taking BDW too under him. But the subject itself is worse than ERP. Avoid at all costs.
Lectures are word for word from textbook provided material. Tests have an over reliance on trick questions that test how well you memorized as opposed to actual understanding. Would not recommend.
He is a horrible teacher. Doesnt teach well, make mistakes during our class and blamed the students for his mistakes. extremely unreasonable, doesnt prepare as well for the exams compared to other professors (based on reviews, tutor sessions, and overall test scores) avoid him at ALL COST if you care for your grade.
Nice guy. Assignments are easy A's but the tests are very hard. Test reviews aren't helpful. Read the book don't rely on his reviews.
Judd.is.Average and at best. Just a really annoying prof i know im in the minority but i give credit where credit is due and im not giving squat to this guy. he makes constant errors and does not admit to them.
Good professor, lectures are too long. does not give a break.Work hard for exams
he is good. but copies EVERYTHING from the text book.
MIS6309 is an O/L class that required installing SAP with BEx Analyzer. During the first week of class, there were close to 100 discussion board postings from students regarding issues with installation, etc. No real help from prof resolving issues. Other students tried to solve the problems, but we were still dead in the water. Dropped the class.
JUDD.IS.AMAZING. While the concepts are a bit dry, he does a great job of explaining them in detail and how they relate to the real world. The cases/presentations are easy 100s. As for the tests, the only thing that makes them challenging is that there are only two, so each covers a substantial amount. But no surprise Qs - he reviews thoroughly.
MIS is my major & this was my first MIS class. Here it is: the professor is a very nice person & helpful. SAP assignments: easy. In order to make an A on excel & access go to the TA labs...very helpful. Tests: well you basically have to study hard for them.
SAP assignments were pretty easy however the two tests were extremely hard! Professor is extremely nice. Hopefully he'll curve our grades!
