New minimum wages for contract cleaners
Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:59
Workers in the contract cleaning sector covered by the Sectoral Determination 1, Contract Cleaning Sector, and South Africa will receive an increase of 7,3 percent which is equal to the current Consumer Price Index (CPIX).
This increase will be applicable from , 1 December 2007, the Department of Labour announced.
The new minimum wage for workers in Area A will be R9,94 an hour, whilst the minimum wage for workers in Area C will be R8,45 an hour.
Zolisa Sigabi, labour spokesperson said, "The sectoral determination is very clear that if the CPIX is higher than the stipulated increase of 6,75 percent in year two, the CPIX will be used to calculate the increase. Statistics South Africa has published the latest CPIX which is 7,3 percent."
Sigabi added that the new minimum wage rates for the sector will cover the period from 1 December 2007 to 30 November 2008.

Polenta Fries with Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup Reviews
Bon Appétit | July 1999
Roy's, The Big Island, HI
reviews & comments (7)
These might be even more addictive than french fries. And the ketchup! Certainly double the recipe, because you'll want to use it on everything!
These are a great alternative to regular potato french fries. And the dipping sauce adds a unique twist to traditional ketchup.
Without the roasted red pepper ketchup these are not the special-est side items. They are quite filling without really meriting all that space in your stomach/on your hips. But again, the ketchup takes it to another level.
I served this at an all out vegie party. They all loved it!!! very nice. Nice flavour. The dip was yummy. I plan to use it in my pasta sauces.

To make a pair like ours, you'll need two skeins of Tosh Merino in the main color and one in the contrast color. Or for both pairs, as pictured, you'll need two skeins of each color, or for one solid pair you'll only need two skeins!

A New Jersey man has taken more than three decades and several thousand pages to tell the story of the city's subway system, and he's not even half done yet. NY1's Jose Martinez filed the following report.
Philip Copp carries pens and sketch pads as he creates volume after self-published volume of "Silver Connections", a New Jersey man's nearly 40-year quest to richly chronicle the history, art and architecture of every station in the city.
A scholar of the subway, he's been at it since 1978 and is not done yet.
"I have a commitment. I want to continue it. The idea is to make a record of the system stations as they are, or were," Copp said.
In July, Copp published a revised edition of 1984's Volume I. It details the nooks and crannies of stations along the the numbered subway lines as they looked when they opened more than a century ago. Next up: Volume V, which is taking him to stops on the J and Z lines, like the Canal Street station.
"Let's say there's about five rows between the C and the edge and the L for another five rows there, too," Copp said.
Filmmaker Jeremy Workman featured Copp's subway history project in a 2005 documentary, "One Track Mind."
"Whether people are interested in it or not, he doesn't care at all. What his focus is is creating the best study that he possibly can that would really capture everything that he loves about the New York City subway stations," Workman said.
Yet, Copp called the city home for just three years.
He hasn't lived in the city since the early 1970s, that's years before he even started this project. But it's his fascination with the project that keeps him coming back at age 65 from his home in New Jersey.
It's a curiosity piqued by his dad's long-ago subway stories.
"I found out more and more about the history of the system, and who were the engineers, the contractor, the financier, and eventually the architects and all that. That laid the groundwork for my history," Copp said.
And history is what's guided him from the start.
"I says, 'Gosh, I better start making a record of all this stuff while I still can because who knows how much more will change in the years to come'" Copp said.
Copp says he would love to publish more volumes and finish the job by 2030.

(Updates from 2:57 p.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Electronic Arts (EA), the biggest gainer on the S&P 500, was surging 15.54% to $21.27 after predicting Tuesday that full-year earnings would come in above analysts' estimates after announcing a multi-year deal with The Walt Disney Co. (DIS), the world's largest entertainment company, to develop new "Star Wars" video games.
EA's price target and estimates were increased at UBS Wednesday with analysts writing that the estimates were raised to reflect operating margin expansion, cost controls and free cash flow optimization, and that the price target moved up to $20.
EA rival
Activision Blizzard
(ATVI), whose franchises included "Call of Duty" and "Skylanders," was gaining 2.68% to $15.34 ahead of its first-quarter earnings report after the markets close Wednesday. Analysts surveyed by
Thomson Reuters estimate that the company's earnings about doubled from last year.
WebMD (WBMD) was jumping 12.82% to $28.78 and a trending stock on Google Finance after health information provider on Tuesday posted a smaller first-quarter loss of 3 cents a share, an improvement from a loss 14 cents a share a year ago. Also, WebMD forecast full-year revenue of $450 million to $470 million, exceeding the average analyst estimate of $444.6 million, according to a Thomson Reuters poll. The company also announced a number of executive changes, saying CEO Cavan Redmond will be stepping down and that senior vice president of strategic and corporate development David Schlanger will be serving in his place temporarily. Current senior vice-president of finance Peter Anevski will replace Anthony Vuolo as CFO, the company said. Shares of Cognizant (CTSH) was surging 4.12% to $67.57 Wednesday, boosted by the services specialist's better-than-expected first-quarter results and guidance. For the second quarter, Cognizant expects revenue of at least $2.13 billion and earnings, excluding items, of $1.06 a share. Analysts surveyed by Yahoo! Finance were expecting sales of $2.11 billion and earnings of 97 cents a share.
Tesla (TSLA), which reports its first-quarter results after market close, rose 1.96% to $56.60. Fusion-IO (FIO) was a trending topic on Google Finance. Shares were plunging 22% to $14.10 after the server computer acceleration technology vendor announced David Flynn resigned as CEO and co-founder Rick White stepped down as chief market officer so they could pursue "entrepreneurial investing activities." The press release said that Shane Robison, a former Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) chief strategy and technology officer, has been named chairman and CEO, effective immediately. Symantec (SYMC) was a loser, tumbling 4.06% to $24.08 after reporting its fourth-quarter results on Tuesday. The software maker's shares were weighed down by its shrinking profit. TripAdvisor (TRIP) was slumping 3.02% to $53.36 after the online travel company beat first quarter estimates Tuesday, but investors were apparently worried about how the company's increasing dependence on its travel metasearch service would impact near-term revenue.
Other popular trending stocks on Google Finance were AOL (AOL) and ValueClick (VCLK). ValueClick was plunging 16.23% to $26.59 after the digital marketing company on Tuesday predicted second-quarter revenue that fell short of analyst expectations. Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali on Wednesday cut the stock to hold from buy and price target to $31 from $32, citing his worry about "decelerating" top-line growth. AOL was dropping 9.44% to $37.52 after the online media company posted first-quarter profit of 32 cents a share, missing estimates by a penny. The company beat on revenue expectations, driven by a rise in display advertising sales. Follow @atwtse
Closing prices: EA rose 17.1% to $21.56, ATVI rose 2.1% to $15.26, WBMD was up 9.5% to $27.94 and CTSH rose 5% to $68.15. TSLA rose nearly 1% to $55.79, FIO plummeted 18.9% to $14.60 and SYMC ended the day 2.4% lower at $24.49.

Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth coming to Mac this year
Sid Meier's Civilization series has sold millions of copies and inspired countless sleepless nights from addicted players. Over the course of five titles the series has allowed players to experience building the greatest empires in the history of the planet Earth. This Fall Civilization will leave the planet for the first time with Beyond Earth, a new beginning for the series. Best of all, Mac users will be getting the game at the same time as Linux and Windows.
So far only a few screen shots have been released showcasing game play, but a trailer has been posted which you can view below. Players will be able to play in the world of Civilization for the first time without the series' famous interplay between real life historical characteristics. In an interview with Polygon Lena Brenk, one of the game's producers, said they hope not being able to draw on history will expand how the game is played.
"If you think about it," Brenk said, "in Civ historically, it's similar. The player has the reference of history and [can] fill in the gaps with their imagination and what their play style looks like. They know the rough outlines. They probably are not all historians. They probably don't all know the specifics and details, but they know the rough outline of what happened with Genghis Khan or who he was.
"We're trying to provide something very similar, except here for the future, where we give rough outlines and the player fills in the gaps with their imagination because that will really be the place that they remember: the choices they made and how that impacted their playthrough.
A hard release date for the title has not been announced. We'll update you when more information becomes available. In the meantime watch the game's trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments.

The ministry's work is focused on the "backside" of Kentucky's race tracks where race horses are stabled and the needs are great. In fact, the faith-based work done at the track is often described as the Backside Ministry.
To maintain a strong, effective chaplain ministry pointing all race track personnel to Jesus Christ by providing leadership, accountability, finances, volunteers and supervision to our chaplains; who serve the spiritual, physical and social needs of those on Kentucky's thoroughbred race tracks and training centers.
Our History
Chaplains began serving at Kentucky race tracks about 35 years ago with the founding in 1972 of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America, a non-profit interdenominational organization. As the ministry grew, the Kentucky division of the chaplaincy was formally established in 1989. Today, the interdenominational ministry has chaplains serving at Churchill Downs, Ellis Park, and Turfway Park race tracks as well as thoroughbred training centers in Kentucky.
Meeting Needs
The backside of tracks can be compared to little communities, and there's a sense of family among race track workers. The ministry strives to meet the spiritual and emotional needs of those race track workers by offering:
- Weekly worship services and Bible studies
- Christ-centered activities that promote fellowship
- Baptism, marriage and funeral services
- Individual counseling
The Chaplaincy also serves as extended family for many workers. It helps to meet those in physical need by providing:
- An emergency food pantry
- Emergency clothes closet
- Help with transportation
- Free health clinics
- Other similar services
Our Volunteers
The Chaplaincy relies on volunteers and donations to support its good work. Our annual "Race for Grace" event is also an important source of ongoing financial support for the chaplains' outreach and ministry. This fundraising dinner—held the Monday evening before the Kentucky Derby—is supported by retired Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day, who is actively involved in the chaplaincy's work.
A Non-Profit Organization
Chaplains work under the guidance of the Kentucky Race Track Chaplaincy (KRTC) a non-profit 501 c (3) organization. Their work and the ministry's programs are made possible by donations to KRTC. All gifts are tax deductible.

Q From Michael Turniansky: In Patchwork Girl of Oz (L Frank Baum, 1913), I came across the expression mad as hops. Is that the forerunner of hopping mad? And what is so mad about hops?
A There are indeed a number of old expressions using the word hops in the sense of the plant. One was as thick as hops, referring to the dense mats of creeper you can get when hops grow wild and unchecked, and another was as fast as hops, because the plant dies back in winter and then grows very rapidly from its base each spring. These were both known by 1630 at the latest. The phrase hopping mad also dates from the seventeenth century, but it uses a different sense of hop, the one of jumping up and down on one foot, in other words of being so angry that one is literally unable to keep still. It seems that sometime in the nineteenth century in the US somebody punned by combining these phrases to create as mad as hops. The expression is first recorded in Harper's Magazine in 1884, but is probably older. So there's nothing mad about the plant at all.

Hormone Hoopla: Movers and Shakers of Diabetes (Part 1)
Amy Campbell
April 9, 2012
There are so many facets to diabetes, from glucose to A1C to lipids to hormones. What do hormones have to do with diabetes? As it turns out, quite a bit. Is it crucial that you understand all the different pieces of the diabetes puzzle? Maybe not, but since I know the most of you are keenly attuned to your diabetes, you might find this week's posting of interest (at least, I hope you do!).
What the Heck Are Hormones, Anyway?
The endocrine glands make hormones, which are actually types of protein. Endocrine glands include the pancreas, the adrenal glands, the thyroid, the thymus, ovaries, testes, and the pituitary and pineal glands. Even the gastrointestinal system is an endocrine gland, in some ways. The brain sends the signal to the endocrine glands to release hormones, which then seek out target cells. Target cells have receptors on them, which allow the hormone to work its magic, such as activating a gene or producing energy, for example. I like to think of hormones as "movers and shakers" because they make things happen in the body.
Diabetes-Related Hormones
Insulin. But of course! Insulin is made in the beta cells of the pancreas. It's released in response to an increase in blood glucose (typically after a meal is eaten). Most of the cells in the body have insulin receptors to which insulin binds. Once insulin hitches on, the cells allow glucose to enter to then be used for energy. The problem comes in with diabetes, when the pancreas either stops making insulin (or makes very little), as in the case of Type 1 diabetes, or when insulin cannot be used properly or the beta cells tucker out, as in the case of Type 2 diabetes.
Glucagon. Insulin's counterpart is glucagon, a hormone made in the alpha cells of the pancreas. Glucagon works in the opposite manner of insulin, as it acts to raise blood glucose and help keep blood glucose levels steady between meals. When glucose levels drop too low, glucagon is released and it targets the liver, which is prompted to release some of its glucose stores to help bring blood glucose levels back up into a safe range.
Glucagon is available as an injection (by prescription), and is given when a person with diabetes is hypoglycemic and is unable to take glucose by mouth or is unconscious. The glucagon injection typically raises blood glucose within about 15 minutes. Glucagon injections are rarely needed for people with Type 2 diabetes, however.
Amylin. Lest you thought that insulin and glucagon were the only pancreatic hormones to contend with, along comes another one: amylin. Amylin was discovered in 1987 and it too has a role in diabetes management. Secreted by the beta cells along with insulin, amylin also works to lower blood glucose levels after a meal. Specifically, it promotes satiety (makes you feel full so you stop eating), suppresses the release of glucagon, and slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach.
Amylin is available as the prescription drug Symlin (pramlintide), and is available for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who inject insulin and who have difficulty managing blood glucose with insulin or insulin and diabetes pills. Symlin must be given by injection, generally before each meal. It cannot be mixed with insulin.
I'll let you digest these hormones for this week, and next week, we'll look at even more hormones that play a role in diabetes.
this information was well written so we can understand how these hormones work...I wasnt clear about glycogen before but now I understand it better....question...what happens at night between mealtime of 7 pm and morning of 7 am? I was told that glycogen is released during that time but the nurse who gave me this information made it sound complicated.....then I heard from Dr. Oz tv program that its good to exercise excess glycogen in the morning before eating breakfast...do we have excess glycogen at night and why do we need to get rid of it in the morning? thanks for this information...I will keep posted for more help in understand diabetes and inflammation....renee touriel,beverly hills, ca ^.^
Posted by: renee touriel | Apr 11, 2012 12:43 PM
Hi renee, Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad this was helpful to you. What happens overnight can depend on the person, but often, in the case of Type 2 diabetes, the liver may release stored glycogen (which is essentially glucose), as a result of glucagon. Glucagon can be released from the pancreas overnight because typically, a person is sleeping, not eating. In someone without diabetes, this doesn't present a problem, but for a person with diabetes, it can indeed be an issue as fasting, or morning, blood glucose levels are often high. And this may have nothing to do with what the person ate the night before. In many situations, bedtime insulin is needed to help prevent high fasting glucose levels the next day. Dr. Oz is correct in that exercising in the morning can certainly help to lower morning blood glucose levels, but the main thing is to prevent the high blood glucose in the first place.

Staging is the act of preparing and showcasing a property for sale. It may include cleaning, decluttering, updating and repairing, as well as using interior design principles to enhance the home's visual appeal. Furniture arrangement, balance, scale, lighting and more are evaluated to maximize the potential of every room.
When expertly done, staging adds perceived value, minimizing the time on market and maximizing the selling price.
Service Options: Creative Concepts offers staging options to accommodate every scenario and budget.
- Consultations: From a limited "walk and talk" consultation to a full review and preparation of a prioritized Consultation Report, our consultation will help you see your home through the eyes of a buyer and how to best prepare your property for sale. This is affordable for everyone and a great "do it yourselfer" guide! Looking for the perfect paint colors? Our 8×11 samples make it easy and we also have trusted products, vendors and contractors to make improvements easier and most effective.
- Re-design: Using what you have, we create the "wow" home buyers are looking for! While you are out, we will rearrange and redesign your home so it shows best in person and in photos. If needed, we'll make suggestions on other areas that can be enhanced. We will maximize your budget to achieve a "wow" result!
- Occupied and Vacant Staging: Vacant homes show poorly when viewed in person or on-line. It is difficult for potential buyers to see room sizes or envision themselves living there. Our warehouse of carefully chosen furniture, accessories and décor creates the perfect image for your property. From highly decorated builder models to "investor" staging to help the most humble home show well, our staging experts love to transform homes from ordinary to extraordinary!
- Staging to Live Well – Room Makeovers: 10% of our clients aren't thinking of selling their home, but do wish their home had a fresh look or have a more "pulled together" feel. Our home makeover services may include beautiful paint palette solutions, rearranging and repurposing existing items or adding furniture and décor so your room has a designer feel. One client's review "I'm so glad I finally gave my home the "spa treatment" and the attention it needed. I never would have come up with some of these ideas. My home looked good before, but now it "feels" fabulous and the investment was so much less than I expected!"
Other services include:
Professional Photography
Real Estate Videos
Vacant Home Monitoring Services
House Cleaning
Senior Transition Services (downsizing or to assisted living)
Repairs, Remodeling and Project Management (see Contracting page)
As you consider whether staging is a good marketing plan or on how much staging to do, here are some facts and statistics for your consideration.
- Over 94% of buyers look at homes online first – and homes that don't show a desirable lifestyle receive less attention.
- Listings with more than 20 quality photos get 12 times as many clicks than their competing listings
- 90% of buyers cannot see the potential a room or home holds – making vacant or homes in need of repairs or updates difficult to sell.
Does Staging Improve the Odds of Selling? National statistics:
- 2007 – vacant staged homes sold 68% faster
- 2008 – vacant staged homes sold 85% faster
- 2009 – vacant staged homes sold 78% faster
- 2010 – vacant staged homes sold 67% faster

Margaret and her team are very profession and easy to work with. I love working with them because I know that my sellers will get the highest price possible for their home after Creative Concepts has worked their magic!
Bob and I were talking this evening. After watching the news report on housing sales we feel so very lucky to have sold our house. We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the advice you gave us. We do not think the house would have sold without your help.
Hugs and Thank you.
Angela and Bob – Home Sellers in Corvallis Oregon
Margaret's staging get's a home sold …FAST. We got an offer on day 9. I encourage all my clients to meet Margaret. As she told me, "the cost of staging is far less than even the first price reduction". I tell every client that I have a simple formula to get their property sold quickly, all you have to do is call Margaret!
Rhonda Mueller-Warrant, Broker
Keller Williams Realty, Mid-Willamette
Thanks Margaret for all your perfect staging advice! Thank You Thank you!!! Selling a house in 30 days of listing had everything to do with staging advice from you. AWESOME!!!!!
Lisa C., Corvallis Oregon Home Seller
I was impressed with the way Margaret was sensitive to my seller's feelings about her home. There were clearly things that needed to be changed in the house, but she presented it in a way that did not offend my client.
Margaret came up with some easy, inexpensive ideas to change a few things in my client's house. Things like rearranging the furniture to make a room look larger not only for showings but for the photographs as well.
The first time Margaret consulted with one of my clients, I wanted to be there. I have to admit I not only wanted to hear what she had to suggest for the house, but I also wanted to see how she interacted with my seller. I was very impressed, she was sensitive to the client's feelings about her home in the way she presented the suggestions.

They rang up like before Christmas I think to get our version numbers... By the sounds of the guy on the phone we were well out of date.
They decided to come in yesterday and do the updates on our tills and server. However they (Cunninghams and the canteen) failed to tell IT Support they were doing this. This has lead to a few issues, the main being that our Impact software now does not have a password on it on launch. So any kid can go up to one of the outer tills and add some money on their account!
Will be ringing them in the morning.

Denyce Graves is letting go of her inner femme fatale - at least temporarily.
Graves hit the musical big-time in the 1990s playing some of the most glamorous characters in opera: Carmen, the Spanish man-magnet; Delilah, the biblical temptress. Not only did she let loose with a red-blooded voice, but her looks gave her instant magnetism.
Graves won't be in the seduction business when she returns to Belk Theater on Saturday, though. In "Il Trovatore," Giuseppe Verdi's story of love, rivalry and revenge, she'll play a half-crazed gypsy who is - or at least claims to be - the tenor's long-suffering mother.
The mystery about the relationship helps make "Trovatore" a classic example of the convoluted opera plot. It revolves around what happened to a pair of baby brothers long before the opera's beginning. "Trovatore" has been the butt of satire at least since the Marx Brothers' 1935 romp "A Night at the Opera."
Thanks to the tunes that explode from Verdi's score, "Trovatore" rises above the ridicule. For viewers who get on its wavelength, it is full of vivid situations and characters. The one played by Graves - who last came to Charlotte to star in "Margaret Garner" in 2006 - is the most striking of all.
Azucena (pronounced ah-zoo-CHAY-na) is not just "a kooky grandma," Graves says. When Azucena was a young woman, she saw her mother denounced as a witch and burned alive. She still hears her mother's last words, commanding her to take revenge. That urge "became her life."
Azucena has been "completely traumatized for the whole of her life - not able to move past that unbelievable horror," Graves says. "I have a great deal of compassion for her. She's kind of all alone. Even the gypsies that she's with ... have no idea of what she's gone through."
Despite her afflictions, though, Azucena has determination, and it becomes one of the opera's driving forces. Graves thinks it links her to Carmen and Delilah, even though "it isn't wrapped in sex appeal and seduction and playfulness."
"What I see with these women," Grave says, "is that they're incredibly strong ... and used to having to depend on their own resources for their survival."
"I think the opera should be called 'Azucena,' " Graves adds, laughing. "Because it all hinges on what happens there (with her craving for revenge). And she gets the last word - 'Sei vindicata, o madre.' O mama, finally!"
Opera vs. reality
Obviously, Azucena is a quintessentially operatic creature. Yet she makes Graves think of the real world.
"When I pass homeless people on the street ... I often wonder what their story is and what happened in their lives," Graves says. "I guess most of us start out with great passions and ideas. ... And so many times, life unfolds very differently from what we dream about."
Graves speaks from experience.
She recalls going to Florida in 2001 for "Carmen," only to have her vocal cords break out with bleeding. She got through the performances with the help of a throat doctor who was backstage every night. Then she had an operation.
Later, Graves' marriage ended. She had been "an absentee wife," she says in retrospect. But she got another chance when she and her neighbor on a flight to Paris began to chitchat.
Balancing careers
In 2009, Graves and Dr. Robert Montgomery, head of the transplant department at Johns Hopkins University hospital, were married.
"I said to him, 'I finally understand what I've been singing about all these years. I finally understand what all the poems are about.' "
Now they live in Maryland with the children they each brought to the relationship. Even though their careers are demanding, Graves says, they work to carve out time together. During the summer, they packed the children - including Graves' daughter, Ella, 7 - into an RV and toured national parks. When they can't be quite that close together, they stay in contact via Skype.
"We leave it on and walk around the house and cook and talk about what's going on," Graves says. "We do homework on it. It's a wonderful, wonderful tool."

Modern styling, agility and freedom of movement.
Piaggio's best selling 'baby' is back with a brand new 50 cc two stroke engine. This most historical and best loved of engines is the perfect complement for the sporty, sparkling nature of the Zip 50, and makes it beautifully easy, intuitive and fun to ride.
Continuing success
The Zip is one of Piaggio's greatest successes, with over 750,000 units sold since its launch. The reference for all compact scooters, the Zip is amazingly popular throughout Europe and beyond, among young and lady riders as well as discerning adults.
18 years after its introduction, the Piaggio Zip is once again available with a 50 cc two stroke engine, the most historical and best loved of all engine types. The sparking performance of the two stroke engine maximises the nippy and agile character that has made the Zip such a tremendous success. This authentic 'city dweller' is the perfect answer to chaotic traffic and narrow streets in our city centres. Easy fun riding, modern young styling, plus solid build quality are the secrets behind a success story that still shows no sign of ending.
The Zip's sporty design, with its moulded shapes intersecting to create simple, essential lines and balanced form, maintain a clear Piaggio family feeling.
The futuristic front shield features two 'cut-aways' for the side lights and direction indicators. The handlebar fairing is characterised by a clear 'teardrop' covering the powerful headlight, and the dashboard is populated by round instruments and indicators. The rear lights are embedded in the upper edge of the side panels, while the plastic trim and new matt black wheels add a "racy" look to the new Zip 50 2T.
Another element of style on the sporty new Zip 50 2T is its completely redesigned seat, which hides a storage compartment big enough to hold a full face helmet. The seat can even be easily adjusted to three different heights. Easily accessible and intuitive handlebar controls contribute effectively to riding comfort and pleasure, while functionality is maximised by automatic cancelling direction indicators. A practical, lockable compartment in the back of the leg shield provides safe and convenient storage for items in daily use. The Zip is also equipped with an ultra-practical bag hook.
Chassis and engine
The frame is designed to guarantee the performance and robustness necessary for urban mobility, and features a single tube with high strength pressed steel plates. The suspension system includes a conventional telescopic fork at the front and a rear system in which the engine acts as swingarm and is damped by a double acting hydraulic shock absorber with coil spring. Powerful but controllable braking is guaranteed by a generous 175 mm front disc with hydraulically operated caliper and a 110 mm rear drum.
The Zip 50 2T is instantly recognisable for the unmistakable sound of its air cooled Piaggio Hi-Per2 two-stroke engine. Sprightly yet ecological, this modern engine stands out for its lively performance, simple, robust design, easy servicing and low maintenance costs.

Marking Stable: When and How?
The imlate
file is there to show which packages on sparc are lagging
behind on x86 and need to be tested and eventually marked stable. It's
very useful to have people systematically testing these packages - it
helps to keep sparc as up-to-date as possible. The following guidelines
are specifically aimed at Gentoo/SPARC Arch Testers (ATs) doing testing.
Marking Testing: What's the drill?
In some cases the imlate file may show packages where the latest version is
not yet ~sparc, or a new and popular package needs to be keyworded ~sparc. In
these cases, we need to have them 'marked testing' - so when they're bug free
for thirty days they can be made sparc stable.

Rich gold. Cocoa nose, opening out to caramel and a little peach. Very sweet attack indeed (golden syrup), a little floral, then a dryish finish. The midpalate is all about milk chocolate. This is easily good enough to drink neat - though it might be too sweet for some. Very special stuff.

Ocean Blue finds everything old really is new again
BY THOMAS CONNER email@example.com January 9, 2013 5:48PM
Ocean Blue ñ Oed Ronne (from left), Peter Anderson, Bobby Mittan and David Schelzel
With the Starfolk and Dewi Sant
◆ 8 p.m. Jan. 13
◆ Schubas, 3159 N. Southport
◆ Tickets: $15
◆ (773) 525-2508;
David Schelzel says the upcoming new album by the Ocean Blue — their first full-length in nearly 14 years — sounds a lot like the pop band's first two records. Why? Because he's been listening to a lot of current indie pop — a good chunk of which sounds a lot like "The Ocean Blue" (1989) and "Cerulean" (1991).
"Stylistically, my headspace right now is more in the music I loved from that time period, and the new music I listen to now sounds more like the music I loved growing up," Schelzel says. "I love the xx, Beach House. I was with a friend one time in a restaurant and she heard Beach House come on. She said, 'Man, that sounds exactly like the Ocean Blue.' I don't necessarily agree with her, but it's funny she said that."
Delayed influence, delayed reaction. The harder-rocking edges on "See the Ocean Blue" (1996), the group's finest recording, often were reviewed as the band reacting to post-grunge alt-rock. Schelzel says his headspace then was even further back: "When we did that record, I was so into British rock bands like the Who and Led Zeppelin and the Kinks."
After "See" the bottom dropped out of the music industry, and Schelzel saw the wisdom in retreating to grad school. Now an intellectual property lawyer in Minneapolis, Schelzel keeps the Ocean Blue intermittently afloat. An indie album here ("Davy Jones' Locker," 1999), an EP there (the utterly sublime "Waterworks," 2004), an occasional Christmas song online ("Walking in the Air" last month, Schelzel with Don Peris of the Innocence Mission). Through it all, the guitars chime and the melodies flutter, evincing a heritage rooted deeply in R.E.M., the Smiths and Echo & the Bunnymen.
The Ocean Blue lineup about to tour the new record, tentatively titled "Ultramarine" (originally scheduled for release next week but now pushed back), includes mostly familiar faces to fans: Schelzel (whose mop top these days looks positively Bieberiffic), keyboardist Oed Ronne (a crucially straightforward songwriting foil for Schelzel's dreamier flights), bassist Bobby Mittan and new, Minneapolis-based drummer Peter Anderson.
They've got day jobs, too. Ronne splits his time between Chicago and Portland, Ore.; Mittan still lives in Hershey, Pa., where the band formed.
Ocean Blue songs are recorded now after-hours, in pieces, via email. Thus, even Schelzel refers to the "glacial pace" of the band's recent output.
"We're not on a major label anymore. We don't have a manager anymore. … When you don't have management and a label clamoring for music, when there are no deadlines, it takes a while longer," he says. "Plus, I'm slow in the studio."
But while the new music may sound familiar, Schelzel marvels at the brave new industry he and the band are re-entering. Both excited and daunted by the challenge of releasing "Ultramarine" on his newly formed label, Korda Records, Schelzel says being a bit more hands-on in the production has juiced his creativity.
"I feel like I'm in experiment mode, like I'm a scrappy start-up in Silicon Valley," he says. "We're figuring out how to do this, how to release music in this climate, and it's completely different than 15 years ago. But everybody I talk to in the music business, they're all telling me the same thing, or they're afraid to tell me: Nobody knows how to do anything anymore, and everybody's trying to figure it out, too. Some of the music business has always been a mystery. There's always been magic involved. How does something become widely known?
"The challenge for us is twofold. We're reconnecting with all the fans we've had over the years — and we've had a lot — and we're also connecting with people in the present. I don't want this to be a nostalgia trip for people. I've got friends in their 20s who love the same music I love. I want to reach those people."
In addition to a Korda showcase Saturday in Minneapolis, the Ocean Blue is only playing the Sunday show at Schubas before holing up to iron out business concerns a while longer. Schelzel expects "Ultramarine" to surface in March, followed by an official tour.

NEODESHA, Kan (WIBW) -- The Kansas Department of Health & Environment has issued an emergency suspension to a Neodesha day care home.
Investigators recently completed a survey of Grannys Daycare. The emergency order shows the daycare operator hid three children behind a shed, then told the children to leave the area. Inspectors said the operator told investigators the children weren't in her care. Investigators reported the operator then scolded the children, causing them to become upset.
The survey showed the day care operator had more children then her license allowed.
Investigators also found a 7-week-old infant napping in a bouncy seat on an adult bed.
The day care operator can request a hearing on the suspension.

Sometimes I get some rather bizarre mail and this one is particularly no different.
Avicenna thinks his readers (well, the advertisers he "writes" about, are dogs. His whole post, titled : "No! Wrong! Bad!" (I personally think he needs more caps and some more exclamation points), followed by a "sexy color ad"
His Ophie-like contribution:No…
If you don't get why this is wrong or how wrong this is then what's the point in explaining why this is a terrible idea?
Well, maybe to help explain to those who see nothing wrong what it is you find wrong about it? Was that hard? I hope he really has no teaching duties – I suspect any doctor trained by him will kill any patient they come into contact with.
I find it rather amusing. I produced a rather small blog post for once. Most of my posts exceed the 800 word mark and I think I have the largest post on FTB. I am also NOT a professional writer but in healthcare. I assume this is from the anti-FTB faction because frankly most people complain my posts are too longer rather than short?
This I find rather amusing. See I know I write at a furious pace when I have the time. My posts generally have high word counts. Even professional full time writers don't keep up a similar pace. I know that's because I take very little care with editors or checking for mistakes of grammar, spelling and punctuation and that I tend to write without any structure. Why?
Because I write for catharsis. It's a way of calming down and keeping cool. It gives me a space to vent. I was suprised that peopel wished to read what I wrote. Eventually people made requests hence I read all the email that comes through to me. I was astonished that so many people were willing to donate and help out in keeping A Million Gods functional and helping out in the various causes and all throughout that not one…
I repeat not one person has complained about the occassional short blog post.
So I ask the question? What do you want me to say? Oh Noes! The person who came up with this advertisement is whitewashing an already whitewashed festival? That Thanksgiving in the USA whitewashes the genocide of Native Americans and destruction of culture to the point that the Native American cultural diversity is unified under a single banner of Native American. I know that Indian Culture is a catch-all phrase for all the cultural groups in the Sub-Continent. I know there is a diverse range of Cultures in the UK. I know that despite being under 200 years old, the USA's cultural diversity is so widespread. Florida and Seattle are in the same country. Hell there have been actual fisticuffs over culture WITHIN the USA within the same communities such as the East/West Coast Rap "beef".
And you are telling me that Native American (sorry! Indian! Feather not Dot) is a single monolithic culture to be remembered in passing during Thanksgiving and generally ignored throughout the year except for "one day".
Okay… what else can I rant about?
Oh! The actual photo!
The Native Americans brought MORE than "corn". Personally I don't know what the inverted commas are meant to signify or what sort of euphemism we are applying to corn but I will say this.
The entire world's cuisine could not happen without the addition of native american food. Particularly the cuisine of my own culture. Indians (feather) helped make Indians (dot) cooking a reality.
When the Mughals came to India they made a very strange (for now) complaint. They found Indian cooking bland and tasteless. The Indian spices are mainly from the South but the things that gave Indian cooking it's immense hitting power had not arrived yet.
The Portuguese, French and British began to bring in crops from the New World. Domesticated crops such as corn. Indian corn on the cob venders can be found on every street making grilled corn. Potatoes are added to almost every dish? The subtle spice mixes of the south would have no counter point if not for the chillies that Indians bred to frankly terrifying strengths. Potatoes, Tomatoes, Aubergines, Maize… the list keeps going on and on. So many of these things are such staples of our diet that we cannot go a day without eating them.
And then there is the "other" Indian passion of the south. Coffee. South Indians Love Coffee. I can easily get a cup for breakfast, another around 11, one for lunch, another around 3 another at 6 and one after tea. Why? Because anytime is coffee time. It's not strong coffee but a bitter sweet, milky one that's hand poured to a froth.
Okay so we got the corn out of the way.
Oh we can talk about the image here where you either darkened up a white lady with dark hair to look like what you think the Native Americans looked like and then dressed her up in what you think the Native Americans wore if the Native Americans were dressed by Ann Summers.
We can talk about all that but let us talk about why I produced such a small piece…
I am in the South Of Asia.
Pay Attention to the News Haters…
Leyte is the area of the Philippines hardest hit.
See when the Cyclone hit the damage was so extensive that the mechanisms that tell you how damaged things are was damaged. This means no one has the blindest idea of what happened. The Philippines Communication Network was smashed to pieces. Only now reports are coming in and many villages are still silent.
The worst hit is Tacloban. It's a deadly combination of poverty slum housing, incredible windspeed, rain and bad roads.
Just one hospital is functional but more are being resurrected. Power, water and food shortages exist and there has been looting and violence. There is already an outbreak of dysentery.
It's really fighting uphill. I started writing this on Saturday before getting the call to move out.
So I am asking you to donate. And please, I know people like donating clothes and shoes but remember these things are considered an insult in many parts of the world. They are victims of a cyclone storm not beggars. No Old Shoes, No Random Cans of Food, No Medicine Boxes. Donate to people who are skilled humanitarian workers who have a long and proven track record of solid relief.
With clothes what often happens is that they are never used. They wasted valuable space being shipped down and they often harm the local wildlife or contribute to garbage. The shoes? Come on? How many people send 4 inch heels? Medicine? We have medicines, we buy them wholesale or even get them for free from some companies who wish to donate in "kind". We have deals, we cannot use half a tube of Preparation H…. It's the same for tinned food. We prefer dehydrated foods because tins are heavy and honestly one tin of peaches or pineapple (my favourites) can cause a fight if another person's tin doesn't contain that.
It won't make my life here easier but it will help those who come after me.
And if you like to see what your donations PRECISELY can do?

A 20-year-old Doylestown, Pennsylvania man allegedly used the drug mephedrone (also known as "bath salts") before he went on a violent rampage in which he stripped naked, broke into two homes, leapt from a second floor window and attacked a woman and proceeded to gnaw, while "screaming like an animal," on her head.
According to Times-Tribune.com, Wayne County District Attorney Janine Edwards said that while toxicology reports are pending, Richard Cimino Jr. was apparently under the influence of the drug at the time of the attack.
Early on Sept. 7, Cimino parked his car behind a row of houses on Hudson Street in Hawley, Pennsylvania, stripped down to his underwear and attempted to break into a house, waking the residents, who frightened him away. After leaving the first house, the young man removed his underwear and broke into a vacant house further up the street. Once inside, he proceeded to the second floor, where he jumped through a window, sustaining "severe injuries" to his arms and legs.
On the street, bleeding profusely from his wounds, he encountered two neighborhood women, Ann Monaghan and Nancy Dean-Corino. Cimino reportedly tackled Dean-Corino while "screaming like an animal" and began to gnaw on her head. The women escaped and called the police.
Officers responding to the scene found Cimino lying in the street, badly hurt. Nonetheless, he fought attempts by officers to take him into custody, necessitating the use of a stun gun. Once he was under arrest, Cimino assaulted a paramedic who attempted to treat his wounds and stabilize him for transport to a hospital.
District Attorney Edwards reported that the suspect has yet to be arraigned because he is still recovering at Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton from wounds sustained during the rampage. Times-Tribune.com reports that Cimino has been charged with two counts each of aggravated assault, simple assault, indecent exposure and criminal mischief. He was also charged with three counts of burglary and one count each of criminal trespass and defiant trespassing.
Mephedrone, often sold in the U.S. under the names "bath salts" and "plant food," is a synthetic stimulant.
Users report experiencing intense pleasure from music, hence the compound's popularity as a party drug. At toxic levels, nervousness, sweating, intense confusion, delirium, rage and aggression have been reported. The drug has been blamed for a nationwide series of bizarre violent crimes.
Wired magazine's Brandon Keim wrote in May that almost as quickly as regulators can ban a substance, black market chemists are able to synthesize a new compound that is technically legal, but which produces the same effects in users. Miami-Dade medical examiners may simply not have known what chemicals to test for. Raw Story

Me and my family live on Paris HIll on Old State Route 12, next to the old Episcopal Church and we woke up this morning to an oversized branch across our driveway. After assesing everything there was no damage to any vehicles but it is a scarey thing to see a branch as big as a tree across your driveway. I think it was duie to just enough ice build up on the tree. Thankfully nothing and no one was injured.
